Chapter 17 Hearing is false, seeing is believing
After breakfast, Tang Lin's spirit improved a lot, and people came to pay New Year's greetings one after another, and the atmosphere became lively.
Hearing someone knocking on the door again, Tang Lin rushed to open the door, but before he could see the person who was coming, his hand was grabbed, and a laugh came: "Oh, Jiuniang is really getting more and more smart." ”
Tang Lin's expression changed, he quietly withdrew his hand, and then said with a smile: "Uncle Li, Aunt Li have a good New Year." "It's just that the smile on his face is not as happy as it was just now.
"Where's your daddy and aunt?" Aunt Li walked in as she spoke, and a pair of eyes turned around Tang Lin several times, revealing a satisfied look.
Tang Lin couldn't help frowning, what she didn't like the most was the way Aunt Li looked at her, just like she was a commodity waiting to be sold.
The three members of the Li family walked in, and the last one was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, Li Mingyu, the only son of the Li family, who was also tall, but his figure was a little weak, and a pair of eyes fell on Tang Lin, a little shy smile, and he showed a sincere smile to Tang Lin.
The shopkeeper Tang who heard the sound was very happy, enthusiastically let them into the house, and beckoned Tang Lin to serve tea, Aunt Li took out a red envelope and stuffed it to Tang Lin: "This is the New Year's money for Jiu Niang, our Jiu Niang is fifteen this year, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Tang Lin instinctively felt a little disgusted, but Aunt Tang and the shopkeeper Tang glanced at each other, turned to Tang Lin and said, "Jiuniang, you and Mingyu go out for a walk, let's talk for a while." ”
Tang Lin didn't want to stay here, so he obediently left the living room with Li Mingyu, but it was inconvenient to take him to his room, anyway, the teahouse was not open, so he took Li Mingyu to the front to drink tea.
Looking at the back of the two of them leaving one after the other, Tang's shopkeeper's eyes flashed with satisfaction, he had the heart to find a support for Tang Lin, thinking about it, Li Mingyu was the most reliable, although it was a joke back then, it was also an oral marriage contract, and Mingyu was honest, knowledgeable, and good to Tang Lin.
When he mentioned it a few days ago, Uncle Li was still a little hesitant, but now it seems that he has that meaning?
"This day is really fast, in a blink of an eye, the children have grown up, I heard that Yu worshipped Confucianism as a teacher?" Shopkeeper Tang spoke first.
Li Changgui smiled and said: "It's just showing your face, if you want me to say, why bet on so many books?" It's still your Jiu Niang, who on the street doesn't praise Jiu Niang for being smart and capable. ”
Aunt Li also followed up and said: "Yes, yes, I have liked this child since I was a child, and at that time I said that when this girl grows up, I will be my daughter-in-law!" You see that Jiu Niang is almost over, how about we settle this matter when Jiu Niang has passed her birthday? ”
"That's great! Mingyu's kid is honest and still attends, if you want to, of course we have no opinion. Before Aunt Tang could answer, the shopkeeper Tang happily agreed, he was already satisfied with this marriage, and Aunt Li's words were exactly what he wanted.
Aunt Li suddenly laughed: "Old Tang, if you are willing, we can talk about it today, it's not that I'm boasting, my family Mingyu can read and do business, and he will definitely not treat Jiuniang badly." As he spoke, he turned to Aunt Tang: "You also know that my family Mingyu has been the most honest since he was a child, of course, Jiuniang is smart and clever, and her uncle and I also like it tightly." ”
Aunt Tang also laughed, but there was something wrong in her heart, that day she and Jiuniang went shopping, and from afar she saw Aunt Li see them turn around and leave, for fear of being involved. But Li Mingyu is indeed a good person, and he feels a little more comfortable.
"Old Tang, then we can decide on this marriage, and as soon as Jiu Niang is married, we will let people come to the door to propose marriage." Aunt Li's eyes lit up with a smile.
Shopkeeper Tang smiled and nodded, his daughter's marriage was finally settled, and he still knew the Li family, so that even if he got married, he could see Jiuniang from time to time, and he was both satisfied and happy: "That's it." ”
In fact, he wanted to settle the matter now, and he could get engaged first if he didn't have time, but thinking that Jiuniang was a girl after all, and it was not good for them to show too much hatred for marrying, so he gladly accepted the Li family's proposal.
