Bursts of laughter came from a rather magnificent courtyard house in the city of Beiping, reflecting each other with a piece of spring in the courtyard, so that people knew that the family must have a happy event coming to the door when they heard it.

Master Cheng sat in the main hall, drinking tea, his eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, Mrs. Cheng on the side was even more happy to laugh, and there was a well-known matchmaker Zhang standing under the hall, who was also smiling.

Cheng Jiawei on the side clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Dad, mother, this family business, I guarantee that Jiaqi will nod." ”

Mrs. Cheng couldn't help laughing, patted her son and said, "Did you already know your sister's thoughts?" ”

Cheng Jiawei laughed and said: "More than half of the people in our school know about her little concern." It's just that everyone is in the way of the face of the two of them, and they are just pretending to be confused! His expression was exaggerated and his words were funny, which made everyone laugh.

Master Cheng put down the teacup and said with a smile: "You are smart, I don't know why I haven't known all along, and I don't remind my father and mother." Anyway, Ruikang has come to our house two or three times this week, and I have always admired him and thought that he was a promising young man, but I never wanted to go with Jiaqi. What a negligence. ”

"No, where do you want to find such a suitable person? We all know Ruikang's child, and Jiaqi is familiar with him, and he has no choice about his character and family background. No wonder we talked so much about it before, Jiaqi refused, the child of the Zhong family last time was also a talent, or stayed in the ocean to come back, she didn't even want to think about it, so she said no, and told me what not to want the life of my parents, the matchmaker's words, ouch, I really want to die in a hurry, I did it for a long time, it turned out that she was waiting for this case. This kid ......," Mrs. Cheng laughed.

Cheng Jiawei said mischievously: "Later, you will tell her about the Zhou family's proposal, do you see if she will say anything about freedom of love and autonomy in marriage and marriage....... hahaha, I can't wait to see her expression." ”

Master Cheng smiled: "You kid, you always mess with your sister, don't go too far later." ”

Cheng Jiawei smiled: "It's okay, Dad, I think she will be happy to become a flower." As soon as the words fell, I saw Cheng Jiaqi holding a book, saying goodbye to his classmates, and walking in from behind the shadow wall.

The maid smiled and let her come to the hall, Cheng Jiaqi trotted into the house, and saw Mrs. Zhang at a glance, and suddenly sank her face, in the past few months, what Wang matchmaker, Sun matchmaker, Wu matchmaker, almost every day to the house to talk about matchmaking, this Zhang matchmaker is not the first time to come, Cheng Jiaqi glanced at Zhang matchmaker with disdain, walked to his parents and saluted, glanced at the appointment post on the table without cutting it, stood aside expressionlessly, and said angrily: "Dad, mother, what's the matter?" ”

She looked at her parents and brother, all of them were full of joy, and her heart was strange, Mrs. Zhang raised the handkerchief in her hand, stepped forward and smiled: "Say hello to Miss!" ”

Jiaqi stomped her feet and said, "What joy? You ran to our house twice in three days, just to push me into the fire pit, and I tell you, I don't want to marry. Don't come back, you know? As he spoke, he was about to walk outside the house.

"Haha......." Cheng Jiawei suddenly held his stomach and laughed loudly, and said: "Oops, oops, I can't help it, I can't help it." ”

Jiaqi turned around and slapped Jiawei on the shoulder and said: "What are you laughing at, you, you are against feudal marriage with us, you laugh at me now, go back and wait for you to marry, marry someone you don't like, you will know what it is like!" ”

Cheng Jiawei smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Hey, eldest miss, you don't even ask who this person is, just talk about revolutionary ideals there!" ”

"I don't care who it is, I don't want it! Even if Pan An is resurrected and Zijian is reborn, I am not rare. Cheng Jiaqi said angrily, and walked out of the door again.

Mrs. Cheng glanced at her son gently, stepped forward to hold her daughter, and comforted her with a smile: "Jiaqi, it is the Zhou family who has come to propose marriage." ”

"Oh, Mom, I don't care what the Zhou family and the Li family are, I don't want it!" Jiaqi was angry, troubled in her heart, and didn't think deeply about it at all.

Cheng Jiawei jumped in front of her and looked at her with a smile, and said, "You really don't want this family?" ”

"Don't!" Jiaqi replied categorically.

Cheng Jiawei suddenly exaggerated straightened up and said: "Okay, there's no way, father, mother, since my sister doesn't agree, we can't tie her up in a sedan chair, I see, just push it, let Zhou Ruikang find a good family affair again." As he spoke, he glanced at Jiaqi calmly.

"Zhou Ruikang?" Cheng Jiaqi was shocked in her heart, she couldn't believe her ears at all, she raised her head suddenly, opened her eyes wide and asked, "Which Zhou Ruikang are you talking about?" ”

Cheng Jiawei put his hands behind his back, raised his head and said pretendically: "It was Zhou Ruikang who led a group of students to walk at the front of the parade the day before yesterday, shouted the loudest slogans, and had the most passionate emotions, fought with the military and police, and was almost arrested, Zhou Ruikang who invited us to his house and enjoy the Mei Sai poems, and Zhou Ruikang who took the lead in proposing the organization of the 'Patriotic Literature Society'......."

At this time, Cheng Jiaqi was shocked, suspicious and happy, her face was flushed with shame, Cheng Jiawei saw that she was ashamed like a flower, and wanted to joke with her, so he deliberately dragged out his voice, and said slowly and loudly: "That's it...... That Zhou Ruikang, who ....... Cheng Jiaqi thinks about day and night.......! ”

Jiaqi was ashamed and annoyed by what he said, raised his hand and hit Jiawei, saying, "You talk nonsense! How excited and happy her heart was, although she slapped her brother Jiawei, the corners of her mouth couldn't hide the smile, revealing her white teeth.

When the second elder of the Cheng family saw her smile that she couldn't hide, they knew that what Jiawei said was not bad, and her daughter Jiaqi had already had a soft spot for Ruikang, so she couldn't help laughing.

Mrs. Zhang was busy clapping her hands to Master Cheng, and Mrs. Cheng added: "I am not satisfied with you for saying that I have been a matchmaker for so many years, and it is the first time I have seen such a suitable pair. ”

Mrs. Cheng nodded happily frequently, and said, "Yes, yes." Saying that, Mrs. Zhang said: "First, the talents and appearances of the two of them are comparable. Second, cough, seriously, now that the times have changed, many young masters and young ladies can't accept that they met for the first time on the wedding day, and the two of them are classmates. Third, the two of you have also met the future uncle, the Zhou family has also met the future daughter-in-law, both parties are very satisfied, the future has passed the door, and it is naturally smooth sailing to get along, you see, isn't this a match made in heaven? ”

Master Cheng also nodded on the side, like a chicken pecking rice.

Mrs. Cheng smiled and took her son's and daughter's hands and said, "Okay, okay, don't make trouble, Jiaqi, since you are willing, your father and mother will agree to this family business, how about it?" ”

Cheng Jiaqi's face was red, she lowered her head and snuggled on her mother's shoulder, and asked softly, "Mother, is it Ruikangti?" ”

Before Mrs. Cheng could speak, Mrs. Zhang's eyes rolled and she hurriedly said, "Hey, Miss Cheng, this is naturally the result of the Zhou family's discussion." You, put a hundred hearts, and marrying into the Zhou family will definitely be smooth. ”

Although Cheng Jiaqi has a trace of doubt in her heart, but this family business is what she has been looking forward to for a long time, since she met Zhou Ruikang, she can no longer tolerate a second person in her eyes, she does not want to and does not want to lose this family business, even if it is the words of her parents, she can't find any reason to oppose and revolution.

Jiaqi listened to Mrs. Zhang's matchmaker one by one, right, suitable, matched, married, uncle, daughter-in-law, and couldn't help but bloom with happy flowers in her heart.

Jia Wei smiled: "Okay, you got your wish now, and you still twisted and pinched." You just nod your head and let your father and mother make decisions for you. ”

Jiaqi twisted Jiawei's arm and said shyly, "I want you to take care of it." ”

Master Cheng also smiled and said: "What Jiawei said is right, you kid has had a big idea since he was a child, last time we almost set the Zhong family for you, and you were counted down, so you still nod, your mother and I dare to set this family for you." In fact, Master Cheng was just teasing his daughter, and he had already seen a hundred and eleven willingness on his daughter's face.

Jiaqi squirmed for a while, smiled and nodded, covered her face and turned around and ran back to her room.

There was another burst of joyful laughter in the hall of the Cheng family, and in this way, a "match made in heaven" marriage was decided.

At dinner, Mei Ruojun, as usual, carefully served the dishes, cloth vegetables, and rice, and was just about to sit down, Mrs. Zhou said expressionlessly: "Ruojun, you go to the study to eat with Ruian, Mother Zhao, you accompany you." After eating, I copied the scriptures. After speaking, he didn't look at her, but just picked up the dishes himself and brought them to his mouth.

Mei Ruojun nodded, whispered "yes", could only stand up, and Zhao's mother put all kinds of dishes together, and put them in the basket box, Ruikang on the side looked very awkward, he found that his mother had become mean and cold to Ruojun, he didn't like this very much, and said, "Why don't you let Ruojun eat with us?" ”

"She is your eldest brother's daughter-in-law, and the two of them should eat together." Mrs. Zhou still said coldly.

"She used to serve her eldest brother to eat, where is the meal together? Can't you just let her finish eating here in peace and then go over? Ruikang said with a frown.

Mrs. Zhou put down the chopsticks in her hand, looked at her son and said, "It is also right for a woman to serve her husband, is there something wrong with her mother?" ”

Ruikang said: "No, I just think Ruojun ...... her"

Ruojun saw that Mrs. Zhou was already angry, and he was afraid that his mother and son would quarrel again for himself, so he quickly interjected: "Second uncle, my mother is right, I should accompany your eldest brother." I'm going. You eat slowly. After speaking, he quickly pulled Zhao's mother out of the dining room and came to the study.
