Chapter 136
Ah Le said, "Isn't this a private meeting between men and women?" ”
As soon as Ah Le said this, he immediately covered his mouth, and Aunt Ma scolded, "You kid can't speak, why haven't you learned anything from your family, can this be called a private meeting between men and women?" It's called an open meeting. ”
"Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing." Ah Le said, "It's a small mistake. ”
Chen Qingmei didn't feel funny, she looked at An Shaoqing, An Shaoqing also looked straight at her, the two looked at each other, but they were embarrassed.
Aunt Ma looked left and right with a smile, it seems that these two people seem to be looking at each other, that is really good.
Jiang Xiangyun asked Xuanrong, and Xuanrong shook his head vigorously.
"I really don't know, Sister Xiangyun, Sister Qingmei didn't tell me when she left." Xuanrong said, "Could it be that Sister Qingmei went to do something bad, why are you so worried." ”
Jiang Xiangyun said, "I just care about Sister Qingmei, I want to know what she is doing." ”
"Don't lose it anyway." Xuan Yi said, "When she comes back, you can just ask yourself." ”
"I asked? She wouldn't have said anything if I asked, knowing that I had just gotten up early and followed her. Jiang Xiangyun said, "But she may beat me up, I'm really difficult, I just want to care about her life." ”
"Obviously, you just want to gossip about it." Xuanrong said.
"Xiaorong, what do you say? Have you been trying to get beaten lately? Jiang Xiangyun smiled.
Xuanrong ran back to the room with a smoke, Jiang Xiangyun snorted, and said to Xuanyi, "Look at the excitement, hurry up and move things." ”
Xuanyi said, "Well, I'll do my job." ”
Aunt Ma was numb, and the door opened a few points faster than usual.
I thought that Aunt Ma was a layman, but I didn't expect that the decoration at home was extremely elegant, but it was too different from her to talk to her, and it was not an exaggeration to say that this was an elegant scholar's home.
"This is what my old man cleaned up." Aunt Ma said, "After my old man went, I left his flowers and plants behind and took care of them all the time. ”
Chen Qingmei said, "These flowers and plants grow really well. ”
"The old man left me these, and taking care of them every day can be regarded as a memory." Aunt Ma said, "You sit, I'll make you tea." ”
Ah Le was still standing on the side, and Aunt Ma dragged him away.
"Aunt Ma, it's not appropriate for you to do this." Ah Le looked distressed, "Doesn't this mean that you are just like the princess?" ”
"Fart, then Pan Jinlian is married, your young master, and the girl Hedong are unmarried and unmarried, and Lang is affectionate, and the concubine is intentional, I am helping them to have lovers and eventually become married." Aunt Ma said.
Ah Le said, "Where did you always see that Lang has a concubine, why didn't I see it." ”
"You kid hasn't grown hair, what can you understand." Aunt Ma said, "Don't delay your young master's good deeds, and don't you want your young master to marry a wife." ”
"Of course I want to, but I have to ask our young master to be willing."
"Doesn't your young master want to be able to sit here?" Aunt Ma said.
Ah Le thought about it, it is indeed true, with the temper of their young master, it is useless if he doesn't want to be persuaded by anyone, "It's just that the two of them are alone, and it's not good to live in the same room." ”
"Fart, look at this in the garden pavilion, where did you come from to live in the same room, there is the world and the land, bright and fair, and it is just, why can't you say a good word in your child's mouth." Aunt Ma said.
"No, no, I'm not young, I don't know much, if I say something wrong, please forgive me, auntie." Ah Ledao.
"If you don't forgive me, say otherwise, now, don't mess with it here." Aunt Ma said, "If you mess up this good family affair, don't blame me, your aunt will be unkind to you." ”
"Auntie, look at what you said, I'm looking forward to our young master getting married." Ah Le said, "If this is really done, I also thank you, aunt." ”
"You slippery head, don't be long-winded, let's go."
Chen Qingmei and An Shaoqing sat opposite each other, relatively speechless.
"East Girl." An Shaoqing spoke first, and then broke the silence.
Chen Qingmei chuckled, "Since An Fuzi has already recognized me, what else is my name?" ”
"I didn't expect it to be you, Miss Chen." An Shaoqing said, "It's really fateful." ”
"Why did you write me that note?" Chen Qingmei snorted.
An Shaoqing was puzzled, "What note?" ”
"You don't know?" Chen Qingmei took out the note in her cuff and put it in front of An Shaoqing, "This is it." ”
An Shaoqing saw it but laughed, "Xu is Ah Le, that kid took my things and started messing around again." ”
"I didn't expect An Fuzi to write this seriously." Chen Qingmei said.
"This is Li Qingzhao's lips, and when I thought of Qingmei that day, I wrote this poem." An Shaoqing said.
Chen Qingmei covered her veil and said with a smile, "Why did Mr. think of Qingmei." ”
"Qingmei girl, naturally think of Qingmei." An Shaoqing said, "I don't know why Miss Chen let Aunt Ma be a matchmaker, I thought..."
"Why? I thought I didn't mean anything to you, but I still let Aunt Ma come to the door, bold and rude, and behaved indiscreetly? Chen Qingmei said, "But Mr. An responded to this matter again, which makes me a little strange." ”
"Aunt Ma came to the door several times." An Shaoqing said.
"It turned out to be because of Aunt Ma." Chen Qingmei nodded, "It turns out that An Fuzi was forced to be helpless. ”
"Not exactly."
Chen Qingmei asked, "Not all?" Could it be that Master Anzi really means something else? ”
"I want to marry Miss Chen?"
"....." Chen Qingmei took off her veil, "Anfuzi, you're not joking." ”
"I mean it from the bottom of my heart." An Shaoqing smiled slightly.
"Do you know that I have no father, no mother, no support." Chen Qingmei said, "No appearance, no talent, no virtue, Master An, are you willing to marry me." ”
An Shaoqing said, "This is still the case in my family, and please Miss Chen don't dislike me for being a poor scholar." ”
Chen Qingmei looked An Shaoqing up and down for a while, seeing that he didn't seem to be lying again, but she was a little surprised, she said that she was ruthless last time, why did she marry her this time?
"After all, this is a lifelong event, and I ask An Fuzi to let me think about it." Chen Qingmei said.
"Nature." An Shaoqing said with a smile, "If Miss Chen wants to ask me anything, just ask, so as to dispel the doubts in your heart." ”
"Of course I have doubts." Chen Qingmei said, "I just can't understand why you suddenly want to marry me, it's really strange." ”
"Naturally, I am happy with Miss Chen."
"You are not afraid to say this abruptly, and you will lose your master's identity."
An Shaoqing said, "What you think in your heart, say it bluntly, and ask Miss Chen for forgiveness." ”
"An Fuzi was not such a person before." Chen Qingmei said, "Listen to your little girl, your family is urging you to get married, didn't you say that you have no father and no mother." ”
"My mother died at an early age, my father married my stepmother, and then had a son and a daughter, and after my father left, he had no contact with the family, and traveled from place to place, only writing letters with his aunt." An Shaoqing said, "After my mother died, I often lived in my aunt's house. ”
Chen Qingmei knew in her heart, isn't this the yellow cabbage in the field, this stepmother naturally doesn't have a mother, but she didn't expect this open-minded and polite An Fuzi to have such a background.
"When my aunt saw that I was getting older and traveling around, she was not very relieved, and she wanted me to start a family as soon as possible." An Shaoqing said.
Chen Qingmei said, "So Mr. An wants to marry me because the elders in the family urged him to marry?" ”
"If it was because of the marriage urging at home, I would have been married a long time ago." An Shaoqing said, "If you don't have a favorite woman, wouldn't you delay others and yourself in the rest of your life." ”
"It's true." Chen Qingmei said, "Then why did An Fuzi fall in love with me alone?" ”
"Because Miss Chen has no appearance, no talent, no virtue."
Chen Qingmei looked at An Shaoqing suddenly, only to see him smiling faintly, and couldn't help but snort, "I didn't expect An Fuzi's hobby to be so peculiar, I'm afraid that such a girl can find a lot, why bother looking for me." ”
"It's just that Miss Chen is more special." An Shaoqing said, "Doesn't Miss Chen also have a good impression of Zaixia?" ”
"You're not thin-skinned, why do you say that." Chen Qingmei said.
An Shaoqing straightened her robe, "Otherwise, Miss Chen wouldn't have appeared here." ”
"I'm just here to see what tricks you're playing, but I don't mean to memorize it." Chen Qingmei said, "Don't get me wrong. ”
"I'm not mistaken, Miss Chen, don't you have a good impression of me at all?"
An Shaoqing looked at Chen Qingmei, her eyebrows were clear, and Chen Qingmei's heart suddenly beat a little fast.
"Anfuzi, I haven't seen you like this." Chen Qingmei said, "I see you steady and polite on weekdays, but today I am laughing." ”
"It's all from the bottom of my heart."
"Sour scholar." Chen Qingmei scolded with a smile.
"Whether it's a sour scholar or a poor master, I also ask Miss Chen to consider this marriage."
"What if I don't say yes?"
An Shaoqing said, "It's a single shadow, and it's a lifetime, so what's the matter." ”
"You can't threaten me."
"How dare you."
Chen Qingmei snorted coldly in her heart, this An Shaoqing is sure that she has a good impression of him, otherwise she wouldn't have said this, this An Shaoqing is honest on weekdays, but he was really deceived by his face, but in fact, it was dark inside.
Chen Qingmei stood up, "Let me think about this matter for a moment or two, and then reply." ”
"Let's wait for the girl's news." An Shaoqing said.
Chen Qingmei covered her veil and was about to leave, when Aunt Ma brought the tea.
"I'm late, I'm late, Ah Le, this kid is clumsy, it's so slow to help me light a fire." Aunt Ma said, "Where are you going, Miss Dong?" ”
"Go home." Chen Qingmei said.
Aunt Ma grabbed Chen Qingmei, "What's the hurry, what's the hurry, I haven't drunk this tea yet, why did I leave." ”
"If you wait for your cup of tea, Aunt Ma, I'm afraid I'm going to die of thirst here." Chen Qingmei said.
"Not really." Aunt Ma said, "As the saying goes, there is love to drink water, ruthless gold house cold, sit for a while, sit for a while, you see how beautiful the flowers and plants in my yard are." ”
Chen Qingmei was held down by Aunt Ma and sat down, and asked her to stay for a while, and then ran away by herself.
"Miss Chen, let's have a cup of tea." An Shaoqing poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Chen Qingmei.
"Thank you, Mr. An." Chen Qingmei picked up the tea, "Why doesn't this hemp aunt let people go, I don't know where to hide and watch." ”
"Aunt Ma, this matchmaker, deserves to be competent." An Shaoqing said.
"Can you be incompetent?" Chen Qingmei drank all the tea, and after saying so many words just now, her mouth was already dry.
An Shaoqing refilled a cup of tea for Chen Qingmei, "What does Miss Chen like to do at home on weekdays?" ”
"Eat melon seeds, Ben, make money." Chen Qingmei is telling the truth, no one can compare to lying down and eating melon seeds, while being comfortable, "Does An Fuzi think I'm too cheesy?" ”
"Vulgarity is elegance, how can it be vulgar." An Shaoqing said, "Look at Miss Chen's recognition of some articles, some words? ”
"Yes, I occasionally listened to the master in the village lecture and learned some of it."
The girls here except for the noble lady of the big family may ask Mr. to teach and recognize some words, like these girls from small families think that women are not talented is virtuous, and there are few who can read and write, and they are all blind, so it is no wonder An Shaoqing asked.
"Miss Chen is really smart."
"Don't praise me." Chen Qingmei said, "It's also a coincidence. ”
When Ding Jian flew to the house, she was still carrying two bags of dried mountain goods, which her sister asked her to bring.
"It smells so good." Ding Jianfei smelled the fragrance of dim sum, and his saliva was about to stay.
"How do you know how to eat?" Xuanrong said, "I can't eat all day long, you see that your belly is comparable to a woman with a doll." ”
"Xiaorong, what are you talking nonsense?" Jiang Xiangyun came in with a tray on it, with a stack of freshly made snacks and two cups of tea on it.
Ding Jianfei said, "My mother said, I am blessed to be fat, I will grow taller in the future, eat more now, and grow taller in the future, no one will dare to bully me." ”
"It's true that no one dares to bully you now." Xuanrong said.
"Our Xiaorong should also learn from you, you see that he picks and chooses every time he eats." Jiang Xiangyun said.
Xuanrong said, "I don't have it, I just don't like to eat bad food." ”
"Of course the things you don't like to eat are not delicious, look at Xiaofei, how good they look." Jiang Xiangyun said, "Don't talk about it, I'm busy, you two should review your homework here." ”
Ding Jianfei saw Jiang Xiangyun leave, and began to reach out and eat the dim sum in his hand, "How are your dim sums made, they taste so fragrant, they are so delicious, last time your Qingmei sister gave my sister a lot of dim sum, I finished eating them." ”
"Is there such a thing? I don't know yet. Xuanrong said, "Sister Qingmei is not at home today." ”
"I know, I saw her, although she was wearing a veil, but I recognized that she was gone with Aunt Ma." Ding Jianfei said.
Xuanrong didn't recognize Aunt Ma, so he didn't ask more, so he asked Ding Jianfei to eat less, and the two of them had to review their homework.
An Shaoqing and Chen Qingmei talked for a while, and Chen Qingmei saw that it was not too early and was going back.
"I'll give you a ride." An Shaoqing said.
"It's just a few steps." Chen Qingmei said, "Master An, don't talk to Xiangyun about this matter for the time being. ”
"I know."
Aunt Ma saw that Chen Qingmei was leaving, and saw that they chatted for a long time, so it was difficult to stay.
Chen Qingmei left directly alone, and An Shaoqing only sent her to the door.
"Anfuzi stays." Chen Qingmei said, "I'll leave first." ”
"Miss Chen, walk slowly."
Chen Qingmei smiled, "It's good for An Fuzi to call me Qingmei." ”
"Childhood Girl."
Chen Qingmei smiled, "I'll go first." ”
An Shaoqing watched Chen Qingmei leave, and then called Ah Le to leave.
"Young master, Aunt Ma said that she wanted to leave us for dinner." Ah Ledao.
An Shaoqing knocked on his hand, "What kind of food, you stay and eat, I'm going back first." ”
"If you go back, I will definitely go back with you." Ah Le said, "Why is that figure so familiar just now?" ”
Chen Qingmei wore a veil before she came, and then Aunt Ma kept asking him to be in the house, don't come out to make trouble, before leaving, Chen Qingmei brought the veil again, and Ah Le saw Chen Qingmei's figure hastily, but didn't see Chen Qingmei's face.
"What do you look familiar with?" An Shaoqing said.
"It seems like I've seen it somewhere, but Aunt Quite Ma said, the young master and that girl have a very happy conversation, when will the young master marry that girl, when will our family have a happy event, do you want to inform Mrs. Gu." Ah Le said with joy.
An Shaoqing glanced at him, "Don't say much, prepare the carriage, and go outside the town first." ”
"Yes." Ah Le didn't say anything more and ran away in a hurry.
Chen Qingmei was walking on the street alone, and An Shaoqing's words just now were still echoing in her ears.
Thinking about it, this An Shaoqing is a gentleman, but he is serious on the surface.
This matter still can't be told to Jiang Xiangyun, and it will definitely stop when the time comes, but she still has to think about this marriage.
Chen Qingmei didn't get married in her last life, in this life, she naturally has to think about it, no matter what kind of world this is, she still has to live the rest of her life, as for what she lives alone, she hasn't thought about it, she is still looking forward to this kind of thing when she gets married, who is not a little girl.
Only two batches of dim sum were sold, and the shop closed.
"Are we still opening a store? It's easy, but it's not like a store at all. Jiang Xiangyun said.
Xuanyi said, "The eldest sister is also afraid of your hard work, and besides, our family's business is not bad, it happens to be the wharf, and there are many guests coming and going, so there are many people who buy it, and our family is not short of business." ”
"Other people's families wish they had business all day, so let's do well." Jiang Xiangyun stretched, "But you just have to earn every day." ”
The two of them passed through the door to the backyard where they lived, and suddenly saw a girl standing in the yard, looking at the grape trellis, and a little puzzled, why there was suddenly more people in the family.
"What are you two stupid standing there for?" Chen Qingmei felt that there was a gaze staring at her, so she turned around and saw the two of them staring "sneakily" under the porch.
"It turned out to be you, eldest sister." Jiang Xiangyun looked surprised, "You, how did you look so good today." ”
Chen Qingmei looked at herself, "What?" I've never seen me wear a jacket or a skirt. ”
"yes." Jiang Xiangyun nodded, "Eldest sister, you usually come how convenient and how to come, but this time it has a new look, just like the last time An Fuzi came to the house, you specially cleaned up and dressed up, it looks much better." ”
"But if you have nothing to do, you don't have to be so surprised." Chen Qingmei said.
"Eldest sister, where did you go when you dressed up so well today?" Jiang Xiangyun said, "Are you really going on a date?" ”
"Dating? What nonsense, who am I going to go on a date. Chen Qingmei said.
Jiang Xiangyun said, "I just think it's strange, you don't date today, why are you dressed so good." ”
"Naturally, something is wrong."
Xuan Yi said, "I heard Xiaorong say that Sister Qingmei went to negotiate with the owner of the restaurant about dim sum, how was the discussion?" ”
"It's okay, it's just that the price hasn't been set." Chen Qingmei then remembered the excuse of casual perfunctory words in the morning.
"I don't believe it at all." Jiang Xiangyun said, "I can dress up so well, just to meet the owner of the restaurant." ”
"Believe it or not." Chen Qingmei said, "I'm going back to the house to change clothes." ”
Chen Qingmei went back to the house after speaking, and Jiang Xiangyun immediately followed, but Chen Qingmei shut her out without saying a word.
"Look at her as a thief, she must have had a tryst with someone." Jiang Xiangyun said.
Xuan Yi said, "If you want to say that the tryst is also at night, in broad daylight, how can it be a tryst, Xiangyun, I think you think you think too much, and besides, who is Sister Qingmei going to have a tryst, she doesn't know many people in the town." ”
"What the hell is this, could it be with An Fuzi? Isn't there no class at the academy today? ”
"That's impossible, Sister Qingmei said before that it was impossible for her to be with An Fuzi, you see that we all turned our faces when we mentioned her, how could we go out with An Fuzi, I think you think you think too much."
"That's right." Jiang Xiangyun agreed with Xuanyi's statement, they were scolded for mentioning An Fuzi a little before, and now they are still having a tryst with An Fuzi, which is absolutely impossible, "What are you going to do, is it really going to talk to the owner of the restaurant about business?" ”
"How could it be." Xuanyi said, "Sister Qingmei has a way. ”
"Okay, so be it." Jiang Xiangyun dispelled his doubts, "I think Sister Qingmei is dressed up very well today, and I will dress up tomorrow." ”
Xuanyi said, "You look better when you dress up." ”
"You're not afraid that others will snatch me." Jiang Xiangyun pursed his lips and smiled.
"Whoever dares to rob will know that you will marry me in the future." Xuanyi Dao.
"Who married you, you dare to say."
Chen Qingmei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the two of them didn't say anything anymore, so as not to ask questions again, especially since several people in this family were all gossipy, and she felt uncomfortable if she didn't ask the bottom of the matter, so she really didn't say it was right.
