Hearing that Li Wending was going to admit himself into the door, Chi Xin's body trembled, and she was completely messy.

That's the Li family's compound! How many women want to squeeze in! I'm afraid she can't climb high in the main room, even if she is only a small concubine, it is a sparrow that flies on the branches and becomes a phoenix, and there is endless glory and wealth to enjoy......

But the Li family once had a dislike with Chi Yue, judging from what they had done, it was unbearable to think about her character, how could she be involved with this kind of person? That would be tantamount to entering a wolf's den......

Although she can get ahead with Chi Yue, Chi Yue and her are women after all, and they only open a workshop after all, and Chi Yue's grand blueprint is just a delusional dream in her opinion.

And working hard outside, where can I become Mrs. Kuo, so that people are in a hurry to serve so briskly, and have face?

The contradictory thoughts made her distressed, but she faintly didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, so she had to leave the decision to others.

She once secretly swore in her heart that she would listen to the Zhou family in everything, and it was only fitting that her mother would decide this matter.

"Childe, I have only met you two or three times, how can I make you mention the matter of talking about marriage?" Chi Xin said quietly, "What's more, the marriage is decided by the parents, how can we make a private decision for life?" Isn't that immoral? ”

Li Wending looked at the pink face with shame, and suddenly realized.

"You mean, tell me to go to your house to propose?"

Chi Xin was silent, and this silence could be regarded as an answer.

Li Wending hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded in response, "Okay, I depend on you." ”

In the end, he didn't touch Chi Xin in the slightest.

When parting, Li Wending insisted on stuffing the jewelry box into Chi Xin's hand, threatening that if she didn't accept it, he wouldn't let her go. When Chi Yue and the others found her and saw him alone in a room, it was none of his business if they had any side thoughts.

Chi Xin scolded "scoundrel", hid the jewelry box in her arms, and couldn't wait to grab the door.

When she went back to Chi Yue's side, Chi Xin's face was calm, as if she didn't have the slightest abnormality, and she didn't tell the scene that happened at the right time, and hid Li Wending's "kidnapping" of her tightly.

Until she came home, Chi Yue didn't know about it, and she didn't know that Chi Xin was putting the jade bracelet on her wrist, playing with it, and looking forward to something through it.

Liu Guifei only stayed in Baihua County for five days before setting off for home.

Before Liu Guifei left, Chi Yue specially brought hundreds of packaged brown sugar to her, and also made Liu Guifei taste the out-of-season melons and fruits, which was very pleasing to her, and asked Chi Yue what reward she wanted.

After Chi Yue thanked her, she said intentionally or unintentionally: "Niangniang's reward for the folk girl is enough, where does the folk girl dare not be satisfied and ask for more?" It's just that if the concubine Niangniang can let everyone in the world know whose brown sugar you eat every day, so that the name of my Chijia workshop can be launched, and the people will be grateful to Niangniang Niang! ”

"You girl, you're so smart." Liu Guifei cast more and more favored eyes, "You are so smart, maybe you will be able to achieve a career in the future." I'm waiting to see you in the capital someday. ”

Chi Yue smiled and replied firmly: "Niangniang, there will definitely be that day." ”

But I don't want to, this day has come too early.

This day is the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month. The snow fluttered outside for a while, and then it gradually cleared up.

Chi Yue had already given everyone in the workshop a holiday, and he didn't go to work until the sixth day of the first month.

At the end of the year, in addition to an extra tael of silver, the workers also had a large bag of white flour, a bag of rice, and three pieces of brown sugar.

Counting the total of these 100 workers, these benefits can be described as astronomical.

Seeing that Chi Yue was so generous, everyone was grateful, and the year could be spent with peace of mind and excitement.

Now that he has a holiday and there is no work in the field, Chi Yue has a lot of leisure time in addition to selling some out-of-season vegetables with Zhou and others in the market.

She rarely rested, so in addition to sleeping at home all day, she played games with Chi Haochi Xiaoxue and taught them to read and write.

Holding a copy of the "Thousand Character Text" she bought, Chi Yue taught vividly for a while, until the two little things shouted tired again, and she also felt that her mouth was dry, so she put down the book and agreed to let them go out to play.

She turned around and said to Zhou, who was choosing vegetables: "Mother, I think my younger brothers and sisters have excellent understanding, and they can almost memorize everything they have been taught." Especially Ji Hao, as a boy, has not been to school since he was eight years old, which is a pity. Why don't we send the two of them to the academy next year? ”

Zhou Shi heard this and looked up in confusion.

Very few of the children of their countrymen were sent to school. As far as she knew, only the village chief's son was now in the private school of a relative's house in the county seat, Liu Xiucai's youngest son, and the son of the pool blacksmith were sent to the town's school, and they were picked up and dropped off at a daily price.

None of the Zhou family or the Chi family had ever entered the academy, and it was because of the Zhou family's proposal that Chi Yue hesitated for a moment.

"But the nearest school is also in the town, if we send them there, can't we pick them up at a daily price?" Zhou asked.

Chi Yue chuckled, "Mother, have you forgotten that we also go back and forth between home and county every day?" When we go to the county seat, we will send our younger brothers and sisters to the school and pick them up, isn't it okay? It's also not a hassle. ”

Zhou thought about it for a while before nodding, "It's good to let them learn something." If you can't get fame, you can also read and write, learn to keep accounts like you, and when you grow up, you can do some business to make money, and it's great to be able to make a living. ”

Chi Yue said disappreciatively: "Why can't our children get famous?" Hao'er is so smart and clever, where is she worse than others? If you want me to say, if you want to send them to the school, you should do everything possible to make them learn something and get ahead when the time comes. ”

Seeing that Chi Yue had such ambitions, Zhou was stunned and didn't know what to say.

If Chi Hao really has this ability, it would be a great thing to gain fame. But he is just a kid from a poor family, does he really have such ability, can he surpass his ancestors, and even those children......

Zhou was muttering in his heart, but he heard a loud voice in front of the door: "Is this Chi Xin's house?" ”

This is a rough woman, Zhou didn't know who was coming, and hurriedly greeted her.

The woman who stepped in front of the door, dressed in a big red gown woven of satin, with a cloud pattern embroidery on it, was a half-aged who was nearly forty years old. With that bright smile and generous demeanor, he is very sociable at first glance.

The woman commanded some of the servants, and carried down the boxes from the carriage one by one, and there were five or six of them, all of them heavy and delicate, but they did not know what they contained, and the courtyard in front of them was full of ground.

"I wonder who you are?" Zhou greeted him politely. Seeing that this man had brought so many boxes, he wondered.

The woman shook the embroidered handkerchief, "Oh, I think this is Miss Chi Xin's mother, right?" ”

Seeing Zhou's nod, the woman laughed and got closer, close to Zhou's cold and noisy, "How is Mrs. Zhou doing lately?" Seeing that your place is so bright and magnificent, it is better than all the people in our county! It's no wonder that a family like you can give birth to such a wonderful daughter. Haha, I'm here to bring you good news for the magpies in the sky! When you hear this happy event, you must be happy! ”

Zhou listened to the woman's praise before, and then when he heard the word "happy event", he immediately became alert.

The happy events related to Chi Xin, apart from the fact that she is at the age of Ji Lu and is ready to get married, what else is there to do? Could it be that this is the matchmaker who came to propose marriage?

"I don't know what the joy is?" Zhou asked tentatively.

The woman shook the handkerchief, "Look at you, sister, how can I say that you are also a guest, since I am here, why doesn't my sister invite me in for a cup of tea?" Let's sit down and talk slowly, so that we can make it clear, sister, how do you say? ”

Only then did Zhou realize his faux pas, and hurriedly invited the guests into the house with a smile.

Chi Yue also heard that this woman seemed to have the intention of proposing marriage for Chi Xin, and followed in with curiosity.

The woman had just sat down, and when she saw Chi Yue, her eyes widened, she stood up again, pointed at her and said with a smile: "You are Chi Xin's sister, Chi Yue, right?" Oh, I've heard of your name for a long time, but when I saw it today, it was really a very delicate girl, smart and clever! ”

She grabbed Chi Yue's hand as she spoke, and Chi Yue pulled it out, put her hand behind her back, and looked at the person in front of her with a faint smile.

"Many people have seen the girl's performance in the song and dance competition, but they have not forgotten the girl, and they have asked me to find your house, so that I can ask for their marriage. Even the sons of one or two wealthy businessmen are willing to marry you and be their main room! ”

Speaking of which, her identity has been revealed. This is indeed a matchmaker, no doubt.

It's just that she said such things in front of Chi Yue, which made Chi Yue feel disgusted.

Is she an unmarried yellow flower leap girl, can this person not speak so vulgarly and directly?

And she came today, is she going to be a matchmaker for Chi Xin, or is she going to be a matchmaker for Chi Yue?

The matchmaker said, and glanced at the Zhou family again, "Sister, your two daughters are not worried about getting married, but there are countless good people who have taken a fancy to them!" If you choose the right person, in the future, the two daughters will be lying in the nest of wealth, food and clothing are not worried, and the life of the young lady who is served, you should really burn high incense for this, and thank God for taking care of it! ”

Zhou said embarrassedly: "Yue'er is still young, so she is not in a hurry to get married." As for Xin'er...... She is an ordinary daughter's family, where can she have such a good life to marry into a wealthy family and be a young lady? ”

She wasn't humble, she was.

No, the matchmaker laughed again, and said disappreciatively: "Sister, you really look down on your daughter!" No, the person who asked me to propose to your family Chi Xin today is a noble son from a wealthy family! Li Gongzi's family background is strong, and there is Li Shangshu as a backer in the capital, which can be described as a monstrous power, rich and rich, how many women have to squeeze into the gate of the Li family, but they can't fulfill their wishes, but your eldest daughter is favored by Li Gongzi, isn't it the blessing that your daughter has cultivated for a hundred generations, and your mother has also been wiped out? ”

When the matchmaker said this, Chi Yue knew who the person who asked her to come to propose marriage was.

Just guessed this person at the same time, her brows were also tightened, and she took care of Chi Xin.

Originally, I thought that Li Wending kidnapped Chi Xin during the singing and dancing competition, the purpose was just to flirt with the women of good families and play Chi Xin at will. But he didn't want to, but Li Wending still didn't give up, and actually invited the matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage.

Could it be that he really likes Chi Xin?
