76, Sugar Man
Xu Hui is a man of action, and after saying that Xu Yang was finished, he took advantage of the rest of the year to hand over the post to the Zhang family.
Zhang Qinian, the eldest man of Zhang, heard what his wife said after returning from the Xu family, and had a guess about Xu Hui's intention, but he still pretended not to know and welcomed people in, so he was entertained.
Although the Zhang family is not a first-class famous family, it is also a noble family that has gone through more than 100 years, and the family heritage is not comparable to the Xu family, and the cornices of the roof are much more imposing than the Xu family, and the thin figure of the old man Zhang looks capable and shrewd, but he is kind.
The Zhang family is indeed a family that can be deeply acquainted, Xu Hui nodded secretly in his heart, his face was a little more cautious, and after a conversation, his tone was also much more tactful when he took the initiative to propose marriage, "I came today to be entrusted by someone, and I want to discuss something with you, Lord Zhang!" ”
Xu Hui's official position was one level shorter than Zhang Qinian's, so he didn't dare to be reckless in his words, and he strictly guarded the distinction between official ranks.
Master Zhang feigned surprise, "Oh? What's the matter? Brother Xu might as well talk about it! ”
Although Master Zhang's words were full of intimacy, Xu Hui still gave his hand politely, "Since the two sons of the house went to visit the Xu family, the third brother of the family has appreciated the talents of the two sons very much, and has never forgotten it. ”
"Brother Xu might as well speak up if he has something to say!"
Seeing the smile on Master Zhang's face, and the kindness of saving his life, Xu Hui was not worried that Master Zhang would refuse, so he opened his mouth indifferently, "I don't know if the fourth young master in the house has a marriage match?" ”
Zhang Qinian's third son is the fourth among the brothers, so it is not bad for Xu Hui to call him the fourth young master.
Master Zhang said with a smile, "Ruiming is bent on gaining fame first, so he hasn't decided on a marriage yet, but I think he will be on the list next year, and he has already let his insiders start to work on his marriage!" ”
Xu Hui's heart tightened, and he asked, "Then I don't know if you have a favorite candidate?" ”
Master Zhang laughed, "I don't have any favorite candidate, if Brother Xu is willing to give up your Xu family's daughter, I will ask for one to come back for my son!" ”
Xu Hui was stunned for a moment, and then said with great joy, "In this way, my foolish brother's wish can be regarded as fulfilled!" ”
"It turns out that Brother Zhang is here to talk about the matchmaking for his brother!" Master Zhang looked suddenly realized, "This saves me a lot of effort, the dog is really a good blessing, I thank Brother Zhang for him!" ”
"Brother Xian is polite!" Now that the marriage has been decided, Xu Hui is no longer in an unfamiliar and polite tone.
This family affair is simpler than Xu Hui imagined, before he could say anything, Zhang Qinian had already taken the initiative to put it forward, it seems that Zhang Qinian is a smarter person than he imagined, knowing that this family business Zhang family can't refuse it in a reasonable way, so he simply took the initiative to the end and gave the Xu family enough face.
With the approval of Master Zhang, Xu Hui did not delay for a moment, and immediately went home to tell Xu Shu the good news, and the happy Xu Shu smiled, "My father is still amazing, I have talked to my mother for a long time, and my mother has invited Mrs. Zhang to visit the garden twice, and my mouth has not yet opened, and my father has only spent a few days to do it!" ”
Looking at Xu Shu's smiling eyebrows and eyes, and the misty eyes seemed to be shining with light at the moment, Xu Hui was full of satisfaction in his heart, and handed an oiled paper bag to Xu Shu's hand.
"It smells so good! It's a sugar man! Xu Shu sniffed her nose and could tell what was in her hand.
Xu Hui peeled off the oiled paper, "You said you want ten sugar people, but you can only eat one at most at a time, and it's a waste to buy too much, so I'll buy you one every time you take a break!" ”
Xu Shu put the candy man in her mouth, the sweet taste bloomed on the tip of her tongue, and her eyes narrowed with joy, "Then father must not forget!" ”
"I can't forget it!" Xu Hui smiled helplessly, urging Xu Shu to hurry up and eat the candy man and go back, "If you let your seventh brother see it, I have to rob you!" ”
Xu Shu froze for a moment, and the arm holding the sugar man gradually drooped.
Xu Hui was surprised, "Isn't it delicious?" ”
Xu Shu shook her head, "The sugar man is delicious...... Just ......"
Xu Shu rarely had such a time when he wanted to speak and stopped, Xu Hui felt uneasy in his heart, "If you have anything to say, just tell your father, no matter how difficult it is, your father will help you do it!" ”
After a long time, Xu Shu finally spoke.
"It's about the seventh brother!"
"Brother Birch?" Xu Hui was puzzled, "What's wrong with Brother Hua?" Did he bully you? Thinking of Xu Shu's words that she cried that day and her sisters bullied her, Xu Hui's face was slightly cold.
"It's not!" Xu Shu shook her head, "The seventh brother is seven years old, but yesterday at my mother's place, the seventh brother was still fed by the nurse when he ate, and the things he ate were all soft and soft like soup and pastries, so it was very bad for the body to go on like this for a long time, I told my mother, but my mother didn't take it to heart, but it seemed that I was troublesome!" ”
Li dotes on Xu Hua, Xu Hui knows, and he has said it many times, but Li still goes his own way, and Xu Hui has no choice but to keep an eye on Xu Hua's schoolwork.
Hearing Xu Shu say this at this moment, Xu Hui could only sigh, "It's not easy for your mother, I will talk to her about this matter in detail, you can rest assured!" ”
Xu Shu nodded, "The third brother is old, but he hasn't been admitted to half of his fame, eldest sister, seventh sister, tenth sister, only the seventh brother can honor in the future, the seventh brother is the future and hope of the long house, the father must explain to the mother the stakes here!" ”
Xu Hui nodded cautiously, "I know!" You go back first! ”
When Xu Shu retired with the blessing body of the sugar man, she asked again, "When will the Zhang family come to the door to propose?" ”
Xu Hui said, "Fourth Young Master Zhang is not young, he will be twenty years old, and the Zhang family also wants him to settle the marriage a year ago, and it will be these two days if he wants to propose marriage!" ”
"That daughter is going to start preparing a wedding gift for the fourth sister! Daughter, go see the fourth sister now! With that, Xu Shu went to the third room.
Xu Hui remembered what Xu Shu said about Xu Hua, and was about to go to the Li family to talk about it, when suddenly a figure that was more than half a person tall rushed over, "Why didn't my father buy me a candy man?" Does my father stop hurting me? ”
Xu Hua questioned again and again, but Xu Hui couldn't reply for a long time, and he howled dryly when he pulled his throat, and there was no tear on his face.
Xu Hui frowned and glanced at the scholar on the side, and the scholar replied with a crying voice, "It's not the little one who said it, and the little one doesn't know where the seventh young master heard it!" ”
Is there anyone else who knows his whereabouts?
Xu Hui's face turned cold, so he patiently asked Xu Hua, "How do you know that you bought a candy man for your father?" ”
Xu Hua paused for a moment, and howled even louder, "My father bought the candy man but didn't give it to me, did I buy it for the ninth sister, it turns out that what the people said is true, I am not as good as a blind man in my father's eyes!" ”
Blind!
Xu Hua said naturally and disdainfully!
Xu Hui's face was extremely difficult to see, he raised his slap and looked at it, but he couldn't hold back after all, and threw it heavily on Xu Hua's face.
Xu Hua's dry howl came to an abrupt end.
