Cheng Guogong said to his wife solemnly: "Since you have been dealing with the Gu family, your temper has become more and more impulsive, and you have almost forgotten your virtuous and virtuous virtues." ”

"Don't you want to tell you the truth?" Li Shi asked rhetorically good-naturedly, and proved that he was not "angry". As for the virtuous and virtuous, from now on, don't do it.

Cheng Guogong really can't help it with such a wife. Throw off your sleeves and go to the concubine? He is such an adult, how can he do such a childish thing. The steady Cheng Guogong pulled the topic back and asked his wife: "Really let Xiao Er and Miss Zheng have a relationship?" Wouldn't it hurt the relationship between the two families? ”

Li Shi was very sure: "The request was made by the Zheng family, and people don't care anymore, what are you so careful about?" ”

Cheng Guogong still couldn't believe it, and decided to ask Zheng Zhi in person the next day. The Li family, on the other hand, went to find the second son and immediately said what the Zheng family meant. Zhu Yi looked at her mother who was jumping up and down, and said with emotion: "Mother has been a lot younger recently. ”

No matter how old a woman is, she likes to hear this, and Li Shi asked his son with a smile: "Really?" It seems that your Aunt Gu's method is really effective. ”

Listen, this title has changed from Aunt Zheng to Aunt Gu. His family affairs have not yet been decided, and his mother has already made such a good relationship with his future mother-in-law! This kind of marriage road, probably, is the only one in the world?

Li Shi was praised by his son, and he was in a very good mood, so he couldn't help but care about his son: "You are so good at pleasing the girl's family, think about it, you will soon be able to coax your daughter-in-law into the door, right?" ”

"My mother misunderstood, my son never liked the girl's family." Zhu Yi solemnly declared.

"Cut." Li Shi didn't believe it at all, and counted the past, "The girl of your second aunt's family, the lemon girl of your uncle's family, and the nine girls of the Duke of Wei's mansion ......"

"The eldest cousin of the second aunt's family, except for the courtesy, the son did not say a word to her; As for my uncle's cousins, there are so many cousins, and they look so similar, I can't tell the difference; Which one is Xu Jiu, has your son seen it? ”

Li Shi suddenly didn't want to speak.

The sister-in-law has been making trouble for more than a year in order to stuff her eldest daughter into her son, and her husband can't be relied on, it is she herself, relying on her strong willpower and very thick skin, that she has messed up this marriage; As for her niece, the three little girls all wanted to marry in, and she wanted to go back to her parents' house, so she was embarrassed to refuse, so she hurriedly set a family affair for her son.

Outcome......

As for the nine girls of the Xu family, they are all nineteen years old this year, and they are not married yet, and they have been waiting for their son. also said that it is okay to be a slave or a maid. To tell the truth, Li really doesn't look down on such a girl. Even if it is a concubine, the men in the world are not dead, why should they be concubines? She has the intention of being a concubine, and her son doesn't plan to take a concubine yet!

"Son, you must marry me Qiqi back!" With the Zheng family's request not to allow their son-in-law to take concubines, he can shoot many people to death as a matter of course, such as Xu Jiu.

"Seventy-seven?" Zhu Yi asked.

"Oh, Miss Zheng Si's name."

Sure enough, it was a milk name, and Zhu Yi looked at his mother expressionlessly. You just tell me the girl's name, tell me the name of the girl, tell me the name of the milk, you can't let me see someone and call it Qiqi, right?

Having said that, the name Qiqi is very chic.

Li Shi continued to assist: "She was born on the day of the Begging Festival, and she is about to die. Another time, you find an interesting object to make a birthday gift for her, you know? ”

"Mother let us teach each other privately?" Zhu Yi said that she would not do this.

Li Shi said: "How so? When the time comes, we will watch you give it away, and we will not ask you to give it to you privately. ”

Above board, giving it in front of everyone, isn't that exercising the rights of your fiancé in advance? This family matter, whether it is determined or not!

Li Shi saw his son's doubts in his eyes and reassured: "Don't worry! Aunt Gu said, it won't work, you will treat Qiqi as a sister in the future, and it will be fine. Your aunt Gu also said that the person who can turn the girl's family from a daughter-in-law into a sister is very powerful, and her mother doesn't want you to be powerful. ”

Seeing off her mother, Zhu Yi sat alone for a long time.

He didn't understand, why was it so difficult for others to marry a daughter-in-law? That's it, thinking about these, it's better to think about how to please the girl's family, no, it's to please Miss Zheng, well, Miss Qiqi.

I don't know it, I have to find someone to ask, ask someone from the Zheng family.

So, Zhu Yi began to frequently ask the brothers of the Zheng family, take them to hunting, accompany them to practice martial arts, and take them shopping...... In just half a month, it cost two hundred taels of silver, and the purse was in a hurry. Zhu Yi first asked her brother for help, and then went to her father.

At the end of June, Li asked his son, "Why didn't I see you go to my money?" It won't be a gift for Qiqi, haven't picked it yet, right? ”

Zhu Yi's body stiffened.

What does this silver mean? That has to be picked! Zhu Yi replied very happily: "I have picked out a silver object that costs 1,200 taels, and I am still looking for something else." ”

Two hundred taels were used to pay off debts, and one thousand taels were kept for later use.

As for the gifts, Zhu Yi felt that it was cheaper for her to do. The children of the Zheng family said that their sister (younger sister) regarded money, gold, silver and jewelry as dung, and cared more about their hearts.

And he, already ready to go.

"What, so expensive?" Li Shi exclaimed. The Zhu family is not poor, but it is still unbearable to buy a gift for 1,000 taels.

Zhu Yi said: "How can it be cheap? ”

That's just as well.

As for 1,000 taels, she has it in her private room, and she posted her son, so Li Shi asked: "What did you choose?" I'll take a look with you, and if it's appropriate, it's never too late to buy it. ”

Don't you give money directly......

"Thank you, mother. The son made an appointment with Zheng Yu tomorrow, and after asking them, he would give his mother the final answer. ”

Zhu Yi shirked, Li Shi did not doubt that he had him, so he responded, and added: "I must ask clearly, how much silver is easy to say, and I have to make Qiqi happy." ”

Mrs. Hu has also been paying attention to her brother-in-law's family affairs, and there are also several school-age girls in her mother's family. Although her background is not as good as that of Miss Zheng, Hu believes that in terms of the ability of housekeepers to deal with things, she must not be weaker than that Miss Zheng. When Hu Shi thought like this, he completely forgot how entangled those girls were in the first place, entangled between their future and their lives. Everyone has changed, all because the Zheng and Zhu families have begun to discuss marriage, but Qiqi has been safe and sound.

There is little gossip, only saying that the Hu family has been paying attention to Zhu Yi, and the Li family did not say that the dialogue between their mother and son cannot be passed on. Those subordinates, one to two, two to three, spread the word to Hu's ears. When Hu Shi heard this, he was extremely disappointed.

Hu's father is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and he is naturally inferior to the Zhu family in terms of wealth.

Her dowry back then was to take books and ancient books to prop up the façade. In the past few years of marrying into the Zhu family, her mother-in-law only said that there were only two of them in the family, and she was not so particular, and she was given twenty taels of silver every month, and she was not asked to spend silver; The husband even gave her all his one hundred taels. Coupled with giving birth to children, miscellaneous things, in the past three years, she has an extra 10,000 taels of income in hand, and she is about to catch up with her dowry silver.

Why are Li Shi and Shizi so good to themselves? Naturally, I like myself. It wasn't until she heard this that Li Shi understood that her mother-in-law was not good to her because she liked her, but because her mother-in-law was a good person to her daughter-in-law, no matter which daughter-in-law was which.

Yes, Hu was very disappointed.
