Chapter 189: Discussing Marriage
Saying that, Bai Zhongzhong has been out for a long time, if it is late today, and he has not come back, Chen Shengkai stood at the door of the main hall and paced back and forth anxiously. His heart was uneasy, for fear that this guy would run away with his own money! I couldn't help but secretly scold myself for being too confused, why did I believe it when people said it, and I didn't even have the slightest defense!
In the middle of the moon, the outside of the house was bright, and even the bright red and dazzling peonies in the courtyard could be seen clearly.
"Yo! If you don't sleep at night, waiting for me to come back? ”
A lazy voice came from the door that immediately broke Chen Shengkai's contemplation, and his heart immediately returned to peace and tranquility. Ran towards the figure standing in the doorway.
"Brother, how's it going? I...... Is my beautiful daughter-in-law gone? ”
Bai Zhong saw that Chen Shengkai was so anxious, and he had a hint of joking in his heart.
I saw him clapping his hands vigorously, shaking his head, revealing a hint of regret, and said: "I said Chen Shengkai, Chen Shengkai, your requirements for choosing a wife are inevitably too high, and you are not a young man, you have no solid family background, no high court, you are alone, and you are tightly buttoned." What a beautiful girl from a scholarly family can take a fancy to you! My leg was broken this time! ”
When Chen Shengkai heard this, he saw Bai Zhongmi's appearance again, and thought that he must not have found it, and the hope ignited in his heart slowly shattered, and he didn't treat Bai Cong so enthusiastically, but he smelled the strong smell of wine on Bai Cong's body.
"This taste... Is it the amber scent of the gold-encrusted building?! You ruined thing went to the gold building?! The two taels of silver, you ...... You've spent it?!。 ”
Bai Congzhong nodded honestly, seeing Chen Shengkai touching his heart distressedly, then he smiled: "Yes, who told you to be so demanding, such a girl, how can you meet them in those places, I can only go to the gold building, and I almost couldn't get in!" Ah! But this trip is really not a loss, your sweetheart, I'll find it for you! ”
"Found it?! Got it!! Are you serious!? Didn't lie to me? ”
Chen Shengkai's mood changed from light to dark, and he saw the sun again, and suddenly reversed, it was really a bit of ups and downs, hard to believe!
Bai Zhong nodded affirmatively, and when he saw Chen Shengkai's stunned appearance, he yawned. I walked into the main hall first, sat down and poured a cup of tasteless tea.
Chen Shengkai slowed down for a long time before he recovered, and immediately ran into the main hall, sat next to Bai Zhongzhong, and asked earnestly: "Brother! Brothers! What do you mean? Seriously? ”
"Of course it's true, I promised you everything, how could I not do my best, but... Now we have only picked the right candidate, as for whether you can succeed in getting it, it depends on our ability. ”
Chen Shengkai was confused by what Bai said, he said that there was no drama for a while, and it was done again for a while, how long has it been, and he said that it was only half, he was in a hurry at the moment, no matter what he said, he just wanted to know who his future beautiful daughter-in-law was, and who was her surname.
"I said... Brother, don't beat around the bush, make my heart go up and down, you tell my brother me, where is my brother's beautiful daughter-in-law? ”
Bai Zhong saw that Chen Shengkai was impatient, and he didn't sell it, so he looked at Chen Shengkai with a smile and said: "This girl, it's said that she is the official family, she is Li Qingyuan, the daughter of the supervising adjutant's family." ”
"Who are you talking about?! Li Qingyuan??! ”
When Chen Shengkai heard this name, he immediately jumped up from his chair and looked at Bai Congzhong with a blank face, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. grabbed Bai and cried: "Oops! I said my good brother, how is she! That Li Qingyuan is a well-known woman, if you look for her for your brother, won't you make your brother worse than dead? ”
Bai Zhong shook his head, approached Chen Shengkai, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "Chen Shengkai, Chen Shengkai, let me ask you, have you seen Miss Li messing around with your own eyes?" ”
Chen Shengkai thought for a long time, and then shook his head: "If you want to say that you have seen it with your own eyes, it is really not true, but there are rumors in the market, so many people say that it should not be groundless." ”
Bai Zhong heard this, and said with a smile: "Sometimes even our eyes will deceive us, not to mention those Taoist spectators, Miss Li I have seen today, in terms of courage and courage, and upbringing and mind, they are all first-class in the town, and they are definitely not the kind of appearance you hear on weekdays." I really think she's a good girl with a good family. ”
Chen Shengkai saw that Bai Cong's expression was serious and serious, not like a joke at all, saying that he really hadn't seen this Li Qingyuan, everything about her was hearsay, and he listened to a few words from those children in the store... Can... Even if this Miss Li is not as bitter and rude as outsiders say... But after all, such a reputation may affect the business of my store in the future.
Thinking like this, Chen Shengkai's heart that had just been shaken precipitated again, and he shook his head vigorously: "I said brother, this Miss Li's family is illustrious, I am really not worthy of a businessman's family, and I still have a business to take care of, she has a family background like this, I'm afraid she is not willing to show up with me." ”
Bai Zhong saw Chen Shengkai's face embarrassed, and after thinking about it carefully, he knew the reason, and then he didn't try his best to match, but sighed regretfully: "Originally, I thought that if you marry Miss Li, whether it is for you or the business of the store, it will be beneficial and harmless, since you don't want to, then ...... I can only find another good fate, but it's a pity that such a good Miss Li, in the end, I don't know which discerning son is cheaper! ”
Chen Shengkai was shocked by Bai Zhongzhong's words, rubbed his hands, and said tentatively with a smile: "Brother, where did you start with this?" ”
Bai Cong squinted and smiled, took a sip of tea, and said: "Think about it, this Miss Li is the daughter of the supervising adjutant, she is pampered on weekdays, I heard that his family only has a son and a daughter, and his status in the family must be unusual, otherwise he has not been married for so long, how can he enter and exit the gold inlaid building with such a beautiful scenery?" If you marry her, your business will have an extra layer of security, and you will definitely not be easily provoked. ”
Chen Shengkai nodded vigorously, and his mind that had just sunk was teased by Bai Zhongzhong's words.
Bai Zhongzhong has been observing Chen Shengkai's appearance, and seeing that he seems to be moved, he continued: "This is one of them, and the other is the other, think about it, although Miss Li is still married, there is an endless stream of people who pursue it back then, which shows that there are not a few sons who love her, and there are many people who have a heart over the years, but because of the gossip, I don't dare to give it a try, if you take this opportunity to win it in one fell swoop, most of the sons in the town will admire your courage and mind, you think about the most difficult girls in this town to marry, all of them have been accepted by you, In the future, your prestige will naturally increase day by day, and you will have the confidence to do things from now on. And I can guarantee that this Miss Li is really as knowledgeable as I said! ”
After Bai Zhongzhong finished speaking, before Chen Shengkai could say anything, he rubbed his forehead again and sighed loudly: "It's a pity, such a good girl!" Since Brother Chen can't look down on it, he has no choice but to give it to others, but don't be disappointed, I'll continue to help you take a look when I go out tomorrow, and the next one will satisfy you! ”
After speaking, Bai Congzhong was about to get up and go back to the house, but was grabbed by Chen Shengkai, Chen Shengkai dragged Bai Congzhong, his eyes were full of flattery, and he pulled Bai Cong to sit down with a smile, and explained: "My good brother, I think you misunderstood my brother's meaning, I, it's not that I don't look down on it, I'm just worried that this Miss Li is too good, we don't deserve it, you have to worry about this matter, brother, this Miss Li, I am very satisfied!" ”
Bai Zhong frowned, pretending to be puzzled and asked, "But Brother Chen, what you just meant is obviously ......"
"No!! No, I didn't say anything just now! I guess you heard it wrong, brother! You see...... What happened to my brother and Miss Li??? ”
Chen Shengkai blinked his eyes and stared at Bai Cong expectantly, Bai Cong couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly coughed lightly, and said: "Brother Chen is also my life-saving benefactor, besides, I have promised you this matter, so I will naturally use my heart, but having said that, you still need to use your own efforts in this matter." After all, it is to marry you, a partner of a lifetime, if she is not satisfied, it is a twisted melon, not sweet! ”
When Chen Shengkai heard this, he immediately nodded firmly, and said, "That's natural, how can you let your brother bother alone, then...... Please also tell me what to do for my brother, and I will fully cooperate! ”
Bai snapped his fingers, what he was waiting for was Chen Shengkai's words!
"It's not difficult for you to say this, it's not easy to say it, but let's find a way to make Li Qingyuan's heart move, and I am willing to be impressed by your charm."
Chen Shengkai scratched his head, his face wrinkled, and he was a little embarrassed: "This ...... I don't know what this Li girl likes, and what kind of man she likes, she is still a mystery, and there is an endless stream of sons who went to Li's mansion, all kinds of them, she didn't like any of them, I ...... I'm afraid that it will fall behind at the beginning. ”
Bai Zhong saw Chen Shengkai's dejected appearance, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "What are you afraid of, turnip greens, everyone has their own love, how do you know that she can't look down on you?" I think about it, today I see that Miss Li does not have the majesty of the official family, but is really like a scholar, speaking and talking, clearly organized, and she is not afraid of pressure, thorough, jealous and hateful, must be a righteous girl, the person I saw at the beginning, must be not pure enough, this is how to be treated like that, now we think of a way to turn her heart, and then make other plans! ”
Chen Shengkai nodded, regained his strength, and asked eagerly, "That... How does it work? ”
Bai Zhong turned his head and looked at Chen Shengkai from top to bottom, and then said: "The so-called rice paper depicts the wisdom of the heart, and thousands of miles send love silk." Can you write poetry? ”
