Chapter 111: Door-to-door proposal
When Wang Ningzhi heard this, her face couldn't help but turn pale, if you want to talk about a concubine, she is not a serious lady, but her short-lived mother is Mrs. Zhang's dowry, and she went not long after giving birth to her, and Mrs. Zhang took her under her own hands to raise.
After so many years, the people in the house, even Mrs. Zhang herself, treat her as Miss Yan, but only she knows that the identity of the concubine has always been a thorn in her heart, and every time she mentions it, she is like a fish in her throat.
Mrs. Zhang didn't know what Wang Ningzhi was thinking, and she was still gushing about the future, "It is common for men to have three wives and four concubines, if Bai Jiujiu wants to stop her, it will be too unkind, and she is not afraid of falling into the reputation of a jealous woman!" You are the fourth girl in our family, and when the time comes, let the Xu family welcome you in to be a flat wife, he was born with a mud leg, how can there be any reason not to obey. ”
Hearing this, Wang Ningzhi hid the discomfort in his heart and lowered his head shyly. Xu Huaiqing is handsome and chic, not to mention, the transparent Confucian temperament on her body is even more unstoppable, and she is also one of Xu Huaiqing's admirers. Now when she heard that Mrs. Zhang wanted to marry her into the Xu family, her heart was pounding, and her face couldn't help but be excited. Red, "Then the daughter will listen to her mother." ”
"Hmm." Mrs. Zhang nodded reservedly, and instructed the subordinates on the side, "You go and prepare some small gifts, let's go to the Xu family to visit first."
The man received the order, hurriedly went down to prepare, although the lady said that it was a thin gift, but this gift must not be too shabby, and the degree of this must be taken well.
After carefully tidying up and dressing up at home, Mrs. Zhang looked at herself in the mirror, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were smiling, she didn't know at this time, because the powder was too thick, and the moment she hooked the corners of her mouth, it fell down in clusters, and her makeup today is even more different from her own temperament.
Mrs. Zhang's age is there, if she dresses up dignified and noble, it can be regarded as complementary, but she has to dress up to be delicate and lovely, and in the end she is only nondescript, but it is a joke.
Wang Ningzhi originally wanted to go with her, but was stopped by her, "You are a girl's family, how can you come to the door easily?" I'll go over and inquire first, and if it does, I'll let them do the dowry. ”
With many subordinates behind her, Mrs. Zhang wore what she thought was the most beautiful clothes and walked towards Xu's house.
When Wang saw Mrs. Zhang, she thought that the other party had come to congratulate her, but after hearing the other party's intention, she frowned deeply.
"This matter, we have to wait for Huaiqing to come back before we can make plans."
Because Bai Jiujiu has to take care of the embroidery workshop, he is not at home all day. Although the Wang family didn't say it, she was always a little dissatisfied in her heart, plus she and Xu Huaiqing had been married for so long, and there was no movement in her stomach at all, if it weren't for the good relationship between the young couple, she would have been asking Xu Huaiqing to take a concubine, and now Mrs. Zhang's idea can be said to be in her arms.
But now I don't know what Xu Huaiqing plans in his heart, and I am afraid that he will be angry with him when he comes back, and the Wang family does not dare to make a conclusion, but only deal with the other party ambiguously.
Mrs. Zhang couldn't wait any longer, suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart, and pulled the corners of her stiff mouth, "You are really, the words of your parents, why do you need to ask that kid again?" ”
Hearing her words, a trace of unhappiness rose in Wang's heart, but what the other party said was not unreasonable, marriage has always been the order of his parents, and the matchmaker's words, if he made a decision in this matter, Xu Huaiqing and Bai Jiujiu couldn't say anything, thinking of this, Wang's heart was a little shaken.
Seeing the hesitant look on Wang's face, Mrs. Zhang knew that she had been moved by what she said just now, "The child is older, you respect his ideas, we can all understand, but you also have to consider his happiness, he is now Xie Yuan, and there is no one to manage at home, after all, there is something wrong." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Wang twisted his eyebrows and looked over, the dissatisfaction in his heart was even worse, some things he could say, but others couldn't. No matter how Bai Jiujiu doesn't have a home, that's also their family's business, and they can't worry about others.
Mrs. Zhang knew that she had said the wrong thing, and she suddenly chuckled in her heart, but her face was still silent, she still snorted, and slapped her mouth twice, "Oh, look at my mouth, my mouth is about to say something wrong for a while." I mean, although this girl Jiujiu is capable, she runs her business outside all day long, and you are alone to worry about everything at home. If Xu Gongzi is surrounded by more people who are close to him, it will be different. ”
Mrs. Zhang's words are right, Bai Jiujiu is not at home all day because of her busy business, and she has to go out at dawn, and the days she stays at home can be said to be very few. Sometimes Xu Huaiqing has come back from the private school, and Bai Jiujiu is still running the business outside, if it weren't for the two of them sleeping in the same room every night, the Wang family would have wondered if Xu Huaiqing had married a wife.
Looking at her son's lonely appearance, she felt uncomfortable as a mother. Thinking about it this way, Xu Huaiqing really needs someone around him.
Although Wang's heart has already moved, he still pretends to be reserved on his face, "This matter must be considered in the long run." ”
Mrs. Zhang saw that she hadn't let go of her mouth after thinking about it for so long, and she was a little anxious, but she couldn't let the other party feel that her daughter hated to marry, so she had to pick up a cup of tea and hide the anxiety in her heart, "Daughters are a piece of the heart of a mother, if you don't really think that the two of them are very compatible, I don't want to talk to you about this family business." ”
Mrs. Zhang praised Wang Ningzhi for how gentle and considerate she was, and said that Wang was quite moved.
Bai Jiujiu is not at home now, and he said that he has some affairs to handle these days, and he should still be ordering outside. If what Mrs. Zhang said is true, then it is not a good thing for her to take advantage of the time when she went out to order to settle this family business, and when the raw rice is cooked, even if she comes back and feels uncomfortable, she can't say anything.
Knowing that this matter was in a hurry, Mrs. Zhang got up and said goodbye after greeting for a while, today she just came over to mention it, if you want to succeed, you still have to let the matchmaker walk around.
Without the knowledge of the parties involved, the matchmaker dressed in fancy clothes knocked on the door of the Xu family, "Old sister, open the door." ”
As soon as Wang opened the door, a strong smell of fat powder came to her face, causing her to sneeze several times.
