Chapter 81
After entering the house, Jiang Hanxiao served tea to the three guests in turn and left, Xu Zheng glanced at Jiang Hanxiao's back and thought that this girl looked really good, even if it was just the most simple dress in the countryside on her, it did not hide her beautiful appearance at all. The behavior is also down-to-earth and generous, not twisted at all, nor shy, as if their Xu family did not come to the door to propose, but just old friends came to sit down.
Xu Zheng immediately felt that this girl was quite interesting, no wonder his son would take a fancy to it.
The three sons of the Xu family have different personalities, the eldest son is stable and intelligent, very methodical, and has a tendency to do things at a young age, and he keeps every store in his hand in order. Xu Zheng is very satisfied with this heir, and he will discuss anything with Xu Zishu. Xu Zishu's daughter-in-law was also found by himself, dignified and generous, steady and virtuous, a good hand in the housekeeper, very kind to people, and very tough when it should be tough.
The youngest son, Xu Zixi, is probably young, he is still relatively naΓ―ve, he is not very open in business, and he is better at reading than his two elder brothers. But because of his young age, he has been spoiled by his parents, two brothers and two sisters since he was a child, and he is not very able to endure hardships, so he can't say that he is not serious about studying, but it has nothing to do with hard work, and it is far worse than Gu Sixing and the like. Such a little son likes Gu Sixian's delicate, demure and intelligent little girl, who blushes when he sees other girls, but he doesn't take the initiative to attack like his eldest brother back then.
The second son, Xu Zisheng, is born with a backbone, very clever, not as bad as his eldest son in business, and is a good hand at making quick money. It's a pity that he is not stable enough, if he looks at the long-term development, he is worse than his eldest brother. However, the few shops that have been given to him have been innovating, and the business is thriving, which is completely worthy of his name. The second son's vision is not high, everything is about the eye, no matter how good it is, it is not happy, what can be seen is like a jewel, and the temperament is quite anxious, every time he looks at it, he immediately shoots. It's good to buy things like this, but now that you see a girl, you can't react to other girls and their parents, right?
However, his second son is sharp-toothed, and the girl he likes is said to be also sharp-toothed, if this family affair is completed, the people in the second and third rooms will probably have more headaches in the future.
Thinking of this, Xu Zheng was inexplicably happy in his heart.
Xu Zisheng entered such a house for the first time, and he didn't reveal half a point on his face, but he was very shocked in his heart, he never imagined that such a small place could bloom such a beautiful flower as Jiang Hanxiao. He knew that the three Jiang Xuehe sisters were very good, far better than Chen Yanting and Cao Baozhen, but that was because Mrs. Jiang was from an extraordinary background. But what about Jiang Han's smile? Her parents are very ordinary people, but she was born so well that the more he looks at it, the more he likes it.
But the more he likes it, the easier it is to be nervous, although he is usually cheeky, but when he saw Uncle Jiang's simple but serious face after entering the house, he swore on the spot that he would treat Jiang Hanxiao well in the future, and then swore a lot of promises, and Jiang Hanxiao, who was eavesdropping at the side door, felt blushing. Why does she think that this Second Young Master Xu is a little silly? Obviously, when he was in the Xu family that day, this person had always been personable and calm.
Seeing that his parents were stunned by Xu Zisheng's inexplicable move, Jiang Hanxiao beckoned to Jiang Xuehe, Jiang Xuehe immediately understood, turned his head and whispered a few words in Gu Siyan's ear.
After hearing this, Gu Siyan smiled at Xu Zisheng and said: "Zisheng is too early to say this, let the uncle and aunt talk to the third uncle and aunt first, you come with me, as a sister and brother-in-law, we and my wife also have something to ask you." β
Xu Zisheng was a little dazed, thinking to himself that when he went to the Gu family before, hadn't he been asked from head to toe by Jiang Xuehe? Why do you still have questions to ask? However, thinking that the relationship between the two sisters has always been good, Xu Zisheng didn't suspect anything, and followed out in a daze.
Most of the countrymen's yards are in front of the house, and Uncle Jiang's family also has a large piece of land behind the house because they want to plant fruit trees.
Xu Zisheng followed Gu Siyan to the fruit forest, and when he saw Jiang Xuehe, he asked, "What else is wrong with the fourth cousin?" β
Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "I'm going to ask early, and now the fifth sister has something to ask."
Xu Zisheng followed her line of sight, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Hanxiao standing in the orchard looking at him.
Gu Siyan pushed him and smiled: "Come on, here I and Xue Niang will watch first, if someone comes, they will call you." β
Xu Zisheng glanced at him gratefully, thinking that this Gu Siyan was actually quite righteous. In the past, his third brother ignored Gu Sixing in every way to please Gu Sixing, which made him have no good impression of the Gu family, but now it seems that Gu Siyan is very different from his cold-faced brother?
Xu Zisheng entered the fruit forest and ran to Jiang Hanxiao's side and asked, "Miss Jiang has something to ask me?" β
"Why did you marry me?" Jiang Han smiled and asked bluntly.
Xu Zisheng smiled: "Naturally, it's because I like girls." β
Jiang Han smiled and asked, "Then what do you like about me?" My looks, or will I dial the abacus? β
"I liked the girl's appearance, and I liked it at first sight. It's just that no matter how good the appearance is, once the years are no longer there, they will wither like flowers. Therefore, at that time, I just looked at it a few more times like enjoying the flowers, and I didn't have any other thoughts. Xu Zisheng felt very interesting every time he thought about that day, "But that day, the girl gave me too many surprises, and I couldn't help it." β
Surprise? Jiang Han smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Just because of the abacus?" What kind of ability is the abacus? You have hundreds of shops, large and small, each shop has at least one account room, plus Mrs. Xu, you will definitely too, for your Xu family, it is not a strange thing to make an calculation, right? β
"It's not just an abacus, either." Xu Zisheng said with a smile, "I love to talk to people, you happen to be sharp-toothed, whether we are chatting with each other or arguing with each other in the future, it will definitely be very interesting." Moreover, we are in business, and we have to settle accounts every day, your abacus is fast and accurate, and you are also a good hand at accounting, which is very suitable for our Xu family. The girl is also generous, and she is not stage frightened when she encounters problems, and she can go back in time when she encounters the difficulties of those pretentious women, which shows that she is not only smart but also very smart, and I like to be smart. β
Jiang Hanxiao remembered that the Lin family often said that she was sharp-toothed, but looking at that look and listening to that tone, it was obvious that she didn't like it, but it was the first time she saw someone like her because of her sharp teeth.
"What if I can't read?" Jiang Han asked with a smile.
"It's impossible for a girl to be illiterate, and it's impossible for someone who hasn't learned to do arithmetic so fast, and I've inquired with my fourth cousin before I came." Xu Zisheng thought for a while and said, "But it doesn't matter if Miss Jiang can't read, I know words, I can teach you." β
Xu Zisheng felt that it would be a pleasure if he could teach his favorite girl to read and write. However, although Jiang Hanxiao is literate, he definitely doesn't know everything, as long as the two of them really succeed, he still has many opportunities to teach Jiang Hanxiao things.
Jiang Hanxiao felt that this person was really faceless and skinless, and he hadn't even scratched the eight characters, he had already called his cousin first, how could he be embarrassed?
"You really don't know how to take a concubine?" Jiang Han asked with a smile.
"This is natural, my father has never taken a concubine, if I have such a thought, my mother will be the first to pinch me to death, Miss Jiang can rest assured."
Jiang Hanxiao felt that this guarantee was very unreliable, and it was impossible for Mrs. Xu to care about him for the rest of his life.
"People's hearts are fickle, and once they change, it doesn't matter what they say, so no matter how much you swear and make more promises now, it's actually useless." Jiang Hanxiao sighed and said, "Okay, I know about what you like, then you can talk about it, what are your advantages, I'll find out if there is anything worth liking." β
It's the first time that Second Young Master Xu has met a girl talking to him like this, but he is not annoyed, but he feels quite fresh, just curious if his advantages are so inconspicuous? Why didn't Miss Jiang see it at a glance and asked him to introduce it personally? Isn't this a suspicion that the princess is selling melons and boasting about herself?
Xu Zisheng thought for a while and said, "I look good?" β
Jiang Hanxiao nodded, it was indeed good, but it was not as good as the Gu family brothers, so she didn't squint at all in the Xu family and wouldn't look at Xu Zisheng more. But it is more than enough to be better than the top, at least none of the people Tong looked at him were better looking than Xu Zisheng. She hadn't thought about what possibility she had with Xu Zisheng before, but now that this possibility came to her by herself, she thought to herself that if she faced this face day and night in the future, she would always be able to eat a few more bites of food.
"Although I can't inherit the Xu family, the income of the few shops on hand is not bad, why don't I take you over another day to have a look?" Xu Zisheng said with a smile, "My father and my eldest brother always want to make the business bigger and long-term, so that the Xu family will not fall for a hundred years, and also strive for more family business for future generations." But I am a perverse person by nature, and I always feel that the family business of future generations should be earned by themselves, and I just need to live well in this life. Otherwise, I've been making money but I don't have time to enjoy it, what's the use? I can still take care of my sons and grandchildren, but in the next generation or two generations, I will lie in the coffin, and I can't see them at all, where am I willing to worry about them? Besides, I think that a family business should be passed on forever, not only by the ability of the ancestors, but also by the efforts of the descendants! Otherwise, no matter how much you save your family business, you will still be ruined when you meet a gentleman who has been spoiled since childhood. β
Jiang Hanxiao laughed out loud when she heard this, she felt that Xu Ershao was also quite interesting. In these years, if you have a little ability, who doesn't want to inherit the great business of the family? This Xu Er Shao is good, he only cares about what he can see, and he doesn't care about what he can't see in front of him.
But she thinks that Xu Zisheng's idea is not wrong, life is only a hundred years in a hurry, and naturally it is the most important thing to live your life first. It is more difficult to keep a business than to start a business, and what is more needed is the ability of future generations, and no ancestor can bless the next generations in one breath.
Because many of Xu Zisheng's ideas coincide with Jiang Hanxiao's, Jiang Hanxiao is already seven points willing to this marriage.
