(225) boring showmanship

Zhang Qingting was not in a hurry to mention the family matter. Reading artifact. He smiled first, "If Lord Meng wants to go, it will be better later, I don't know how much to do in this post-disaster reconstruction, and my lord is very busy all day long!" Last time, as soon as the husband was well, he said that he was going to go, so I asked people to ask the Qingbai beside him first, saying that he had received it, and letting the adults rest was the greatest understanding. We had to boil some nourishing soup at home and make a few side dishes to send to us, which is a little bit of heart! ”

Li Hongwen listened and nodded, "It's my brother and sister who think carefully!" I have prepared a few gifts today, so you say I'll send someone to send them, and bring a message? ”

Zhang Qingting smiled, "Since you are here, let's go in person, what if you are just in time for Lord Meng to be free?" I'm just going to tell you about it. If you don't have time, you can send something and come to our house. Since you came out with great difficulty today, you must have a meal at my house, and I will go to the horse farm to let Xianggong come back! ”

Li Hongwen said, "What else are you polite between us?" Speaking of which, I haven't been to your horse farm yet! Why don't you tell me the location. I gave a gift and went shopping! ”

Zhang Qingting saw that the sun was almost noon, and he had to eat when he arrived at the racecourse for a while, besides, there were many things in the racecourse, and Zhao Chengcai really couldn't leave, so it was better to go by himself and let him accompany Li Hongwen to go shopping, so he said, "Then I'll go with you!" If you don't slack off, you can have a light meal at our racecourse at noon! Come back in the evening and eat good. ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" Li Hongwen happily agreed to go to give gifts first.

Zhang Qingting turned around and asked Zhang Luoshi to buy a few more vegetables and come back to prepare, and hurried to Fuyaju in the back, and asked them to buy a few half-cooked roasted whole sheep, and made two large urns of good wine, waiting for Li Hongwen to turn his head to pick it up, and went to the horse farm together.

Li Hongwen praised, "My brother and sister are really considerate, how do you know that the wine worm in my stomach is guilty?" At home these days, I am not allowed to touch a drop of wine, but it suffocates me! ”

Talking and laughing, we arrived at the racecourse. This side is in full swing, Zhang Qingting asked Zhao Chengcai to greet Li Hongwen, and went to direct people to clean up the food, and the workers who worked were very happy when they saw that there was wine and meat.

Li Hongwen and Zhao Chengcai hid aside and giggled for a while before leading him to visit. Li Hongwen looked at the new house they were going to build with interest, and then looked at their horses. I was particularly interested in those wild horses, and I was eager to try to get up.

Zhao Chengcai hurriedly stopped. "This horse is not familiar with you, bite you carefully!"

"Is it so fierce?" Li Hongwen didn't believe it, and suddenly a black dog rushed out, and he didn't bark, but just looked at the stranger vigilantly, and bared out his fangs.

"Black Tiger, it's okay!" Zhang Xiaodie came over with a big bamboo broom and coaxed the mastiff, "This is not a bad person, don't bite!" He explained to Li Hongwen again, "The black tiger is smart!" It doesn't hurt people casually, don't kill it! ”

Li Hongwen is used to joking with Zhang Xiaodie at Zhang's house on weekdays, and when he sees her like this at this time, he is surprised to see her, and he can't help but joke, "Yo! I haven't seen you for a few days, why did you change your career and sweep the floor? Don't do something wrong again, and be sent by your eldest sister, right? ”

Zhao Chengcai put gold on his aunt's face, "Fluttershy might do it!" Now more than half of the horses in our horse farm are taken care of by her. Like this wild horse and the black tiger, they don't even listen to me, they kiss her! ”

"Of course!" Zhang Xiaodie tilted her chin, looking big and immodest, "On weekdays, I serve them to eat, drink, and Lazar, if they still have an outside heart, then it is called no conscience!" Isn't it, big hair? ”

She reached out and patted the head of a wild horse, which was very human, and meekly rubbed her hand with her cheek as a sign of intimacy.

Li Hongwen couldn't help but stretch out his hand, but the horse immediately glared at him viciously, with undisguised anger in his big eyes, and he wanted to bite when he opened his mouth, so frightened that Li Hongwen retracted his hand again.

Zhang Xiaodie giggled, "Da Mao is not familiar with you, if you move your hands and feet, it is really welcome!" Get out of here, don't get in the way! I swept the floor again, added some water to them, and went out to eat. Brother Li, if you want to ride a horse, you have to wait for them to come back from work in the afternoon, and these horses can't be ridden for you now! ”

Li Hongwen knew that she was straightforward, so he didn't care, and when he and Zhao Chengcai came out, they asked with a smile, "Is what you just said true?" Let such a little girl take care of the horse? ”

"Isn't she in charge? Don't underestimate people! Zhao Chengcai was very proud, "Now I am in this horse farm." Several of the younger siblings took care of things. Don't look at their age, but they look like they do things, but it saves us a lot of heart! ”

Li Hongwen poked him in the arm and laughed, "No wonder you look at the spring breeze on your face, I think you have more leisure with your younger siblings, right?" ”

"Say what? That's so many people! Zhao Chengcai's face was calm and annoyed, looking at no one left and right, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but have a smile, "Don't just talk about me!" If you are envious, you should marry a serious marriage as soon as possible, you are always so foolish, and it doesn't look like a famous person! ”

"Don't mention this!" Li Hongwen was depressed when he mentioned it, and pulled him aside and whispered, "I'm hiding out today, just for this!" Last time, when the two of us fell into the water, my father was in a hurry, saying that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest. I'm afraid that I'm having a bad guy, and he hasn't hugged my son yet. I was still lying in bed, and he started looking for a matchmaker. These days, it's almost breaking the threshold of our home! He thinks simply, as long as it's a woman, he thinks it's okay, I'll say a little more. He scolded me for picking and choosing, and what did he say, you don't like people, and I don't know if people look down on you! You're judging the judges, am I so bad? ”

Zhao Chengcai smiled sullenly and patted him on the shoulder, "Who made you your father's most distressed son?" Alright! Just listen to your father and let him choose a dignified and virtuous one! ”

"That's not going to work! This wife is a big deal, you have to live with her for the rest of your life! I either don't look for it, or if I want to find it, I have to find one I like! ”

"Then tell me what it takes to be eye-catching?"

Li Hongwen is very honest. "First of all, it has to be pretty! No matter how smart and capable you are, not to mention that you are similar to your younger siblings, at least you have to look like you, and again, you have to be gentle and gentle......"

"Alright, alright!" Zhao Chengcai interrupted him, "Where can I find such a heavenly immortal?" I can't complain that your father says you're picky, but that's right! ”

"Who says there aren't such people?" Isn't that your sister? Li Hongwen thought about it, but he was still embarrassed to say it. He said, "We have one in the township!" ”

Zhao Chengcai became interested, "Then tell me, whose girl is it, I'll propose to you!" ”

Li Hongwen slumped his shoulders and sighed, "People already have masters!" Don't offend other girls' reputations. ”

Zhao Chengcai didn't want to ask anymore, but he also remembered the matter of the He family, "I have a family here, I don't know if you are interested." There is a family, and the family background is on par with your family, needless to say, their girl has a good personality and knowledge, and now she wants to marry a scholar. ”

"Is it really that good?" Li Hongwen was a little moved.

"Of course it's true! If you want to, I'll tell you to go again! But there is only one requirement, that is, you have to work hard, and it is best to be promoted to be an official or something. My mother's family also wants to follow suit! ”

Li Hongwen thought about it, "Then forget it!" It's too much pressure to marry a girl like that! I've been talking about it for half a year, and I have a serious errand in the school, so my father has lightened my mind about letting me win. If I get married to such an in-law, my daughter-in-law stares at me all day long, and my father-in-law nags, will I still live? ”

Zhao Chengcai smiled, and had a bit of a positive color, "It's not for me to say this, you should also work hard!" Even if we can't pass the exam, we have to fight for it a few times while we are young, right? In case you get hit. That's a lifetime event! You also take care of it, let's be a companion, let's talk about next year's test first! ”

Li Hongwen shook his head, "I definitely have to take the exam next year, but that's the result...... I want to know about it! I won't hide it from you, in addition to teaching students now, I have a headache when I pick up a book! How can you have that perseverance? ”

Zhao Chengcai scolded with a smile, "You, you really should marry a daughter-in-law and come back to take care of it!" I also said it to my mother-in-law, so I packed up my mood and read the book. Otherwise, if you go to do this family business, you have to have such a daughter-in-law to take care of it, maybe with red sleeves and fragrance, you won't have a headache! Besides, you're so old, a month older than me, it's time to get married. Since your father is now forced to do this, why don't you look at each other, what if you look at each other? ”

Li Hongwen was moved by this, "Which girl is it?" ”

Zhao Chengcai raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Then don't worry about it for now, if you are willing, just wait for me to arrange it, if it is done, you can repay me with a good life!" ”

"Which of us is with whom? That's a life-or-death relationship! What to talk about and not to repay? ”

"It's the friend of life and death that I have to repay, and if it's not the friend of life and death, I don't bother with this idleness!"

The two of them laughed and went over to help prepare lunch.

Although the food is simple, it is also a unique taste with fragrant roast mutton and fine wine. Because he was afraid that he would lose his hand in the afternoon, although Zhang Qingting asked for two large urns of wine, it was not strong, and thirty or forty people were divided into points, and each person was only one bowl, just to help the fun. She thought about it carefully, like Li Hongwen and Zhao Chengcai, who were both recovering from serious illnesses, where could they really have a good drink?

Li Hongwen knew what he meant, and he was not too picky. After eating, seeing that they were all busy, he didn't want Zhao Chengcai to greet him, but followed Zhang Xiaodie to pack up the horses with great interest, trying to please the wild horses, and came back to ride.

Although Zhang Xiaodie spoke straightforwardly, she was very serious and responsible, Zhang Qingting only casually confessed two sentences, and then she led the people. Zhang Xiaodie unceremoniously took the chicken feathers as an arrow, commanded people to help her work, and Li Hongwen was also willing to get close to the horse, occasionally stretching and stretching her muscles and bones, and she was also happy.

After taking a break in the middle, Zhao Chengcai told Zhang Qingting about the marriage proposal with Li Hongwen, "You go back and ask the He family first to see if it has been settled, if not, then mention Hongwen to them." Whether it's asking the matchmaker to talk to you in the middle, or asking us to help make an appointment, it's okay. ”

Zhang Qingting pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't I even know this?" Still at your command? I just don't know, is he willing to go to school? ”

Zhao Chengcai shook his head slightly, "If there is a daughter-in-law to take care of him, I'm afraid it will be better!" ”

Zhang Qingting nodded, "Since we are middle-aged people, there are some things that are difficult to say, let them inquire about each other by themselves!" But a wake-up call is over. ”

Busy and busy, in the evening, the horses that went out to pick up the work came back one after another, and they chose two more docile ones, and let Zhang Jinbao ride with Li Hongwen to run around the racecourse for a good time. Li Hongwen saw that their horses were also tired, so he didn't stay longer, and went back with them after playing for a while. I wanted to invite him home to have dinner together, but Li Hongwen saw that he had bothered them for most of the day, and he was afraid that his father would blame him, so he refused to go back.

In the evening, he asked Xiaoyu to go to He's house to spread a word, and on the second day, Zhang Qingting stayed at home and waited for He Yutang with peace of mind.

He came after a nap, and when he heard about Li Hongwen, he knew, "It turns out that he has never been married!" ”

Zhang Qingting said with a smile, "He went to the capital to study before, and now that he has come back, he has been busy with the affairs of the academy, so he has delayed it." As soon as they were idle, their family began to spread. But it so happened that you also mentioned this matter to us last time, and I thought, if you two families talk about it, it will really be a good match, and besides, they are in one place, and they know each other's roots, even if they are married, they will not be too reluctant to let my sister out of the cabinet. Li Gongzi also has a fame now, but he doesn't know what the future will be, it depends on whether you like it or not. So we only mentioned to him that there was such a thing, but we didn't tell him what it was. He and I got along well, and some of the things we said were inevitably biased, but it would be better for you to let people inquire about them yourself. ”

He Yutang was extremely grateful, "Thank you, Mrs. Zhao, for your thoughtfulness!" If it happens, thank you very much! ”

He wasn't too polite, so he quickly asked the matchmaker to inquire when he went back. The situation reported back is basically consistent with what Zhang Qingting said, the matchmaker saw that the two families were rich masters, and she was very willing to marry them, "Although the son of the Li family is not the eldest son, he is the most beloved son of Master Li, and he is the only one in the family who has a meritorious reputation. ”

The father and son of the He family were also quite satisfied when they heard it, "My family doesn't want his family's dowry, as long as people are willing to be motivated and have good conduct." You'll have to walk around and look around again. ”

The matchmaker smiled, "Their family also happens to be a marriage to their son, I have already asked the matchmaker of that family, and the son of his family is also a little arrogant, no matter what kind of kiss he says, he always has to take a look at each other to be accurate." This is also our custom here, and there is nothing to find fault with. If your family also has this meaning, I will go to Li Mansion to say, choose a day to invite the young lady to come out, and meet with Li Gongzi, if both of them like it, let's talk about this family matter, what do you think? ”

She was right, if they were to choose from a thousand choices, but He Yuhua didn't like it, it would be sad to live that day. It's better to meet each other, it means that, and it's better to say it, so that the matchmaker won't waste these legs, feet, lips and tongues.

But where should we meet?

The matchmaker gave them an idea, "We have a small place here, and there is nothing to visit, if we deliberately go to a secluded place, it will not be good for people to see it." In the past, there were big families like you who wanted to see each other, and most of them made appointments in restaurants and restaurants, and took a look at them by listening to the drama and drinking tea. Or silk jewelry shops, these places where men and women can go to make an appointment and see the people. If you want us to follow, if you are embarrassed, you can decide what color and color clothes you will wear that day, and you can see for yourself. It's just that you have to be accurate, there was such a thing in the old years, deliberately changed the clothes temporarily, and even let people pretend to be them, and they followed, but the other party's family also changed, and made the wrong person, and waited until they entered the cave room to make trouble, but said that our matchmaker tricked them, which is really ten mouths and can't be explained! ”

He Yutang smiled, "Don't worry, our family won't do such a thing again!" ”

He immediately thought that if they met, it would be better to go to Zhang Qingting's house, it just so happened that she knew each other. Moreover, there is a small study shop in front of their house, and there is a silk village in the back, no matter where they meet, it is convenient to avoid wherever they go, and it is not eye-catching.

asked what his father meant, and He Jingzhong agreed, "There is still a house in our family in the alley, and it is cheaper for your sister to go there." As long as you explain the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, you can be strict, if not, don't tell us about it, it will make both families dishonorable. ”

"Don't worry! Their family can think that before the accident, they didn't even reveal the name of our family to the Li family, so they are definitely not the kind of people who are unconscious! Dad, if you agree, I'll arrange it! ”

He Jingzhong nodded, He Yutang was busy going to Zhang Luo, and soon said that he would come back, He Yuhua was embarrassed when he heard it, and Mrs. He was not at ease, so she had to follow. That's fine, just don't show up when the time comes.

After waiting for a few days, on the first night of the meeting, Zhang Qingting was a little apprehensive, and Zhao Chengcai quipped, "This person is on a blind date, what are you nervous about?" ”

Because he was in the room, Zhang Qingting didn't scruple to speak, "I'm so big, it's the first time I've been a matchmaker!" I wonder if the two of them will succeed? ”

"This is fate, if it happens, we can also be regarded as a merit!" Zhao Chengcai also felt funny when he thought about it, "Actually, Hongwen was also quite nervous, so he deliberately set the time in the afternoon, and repeatedly told me that I must come back early tomorrow and accompany him to see each other." Hey, Master Li can say that he is coming too, have you arranged a place? ”

"It's all arranged!" Zhang Qingting smiled and pointed to the opposite shop, "When the time comes, I will ask him to take a look upstairs, I have already asked Xiaoyu to clean up that place, and even the curtains have been closed, so that people will not be able to see it." Mrs. He is also coming, and their family is hiding in the small courtyard in front of their heads, so you must remember to accompany Hongwen to get off the bus from the alley and come over! ”

Zhao Chengcai couldn't help but laugh, "This doesn't look like a blind date, it looks like a thief!" Look at the time we got married, how could there be so much trouble? ”

Zhang Qingting already had a lot of regrets about his family, and when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, "Are you embarrassed to say it?" I haven't seen any family like us, and we have to tie it up! When Magnolia got married, she still had two pieces of jewelry, but what about me? I didn't even pull a piece of cloth! ”

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and her eyes were really red for a while.

Zhao Chengcai hurriedly persuaded, "Isn't that one time and another?" Didn't you marry at that time? You don't have new clothes, do I have them? It's all in the past, why do you mention it? I'm stopping you from making new clothes now? Why don't you make two more pieces during the Mid-Autumn Festival? ”

"That's different!" Zhang Qingting didn't like him sloppy here, "Marriage is only once in a lifetime, how can it be so casual?" ”

"And what do you want to do?" Zhao Chengcai spread his hands, "This can't be returned!" ”

Zhang Qingting said the wish buried deep in his heart, "Then let's get married again!" Don't let people know, let's prepare things, set up a new house, close the door and worship the next heaven and earth, okay? ”

"Isn't this nonsense?" Zhao Chengcai chuckled, "Just the two of us worship heaven and earth, so don't you hide your ears and steal the bell?" Besides, there is no way to hide this, a large family lives together, and everyone can know what kind of trouble you make. Don't you need anyone to clean up your new house yourself? ”

Of course, Zhang Qingting also knew this, she thought very beautifully, "Then let the family see it!" You can also be a witness! ”

"Are you serious?"

"yes!" Zhang Qingting is really not a joke.

Zhao Chengcai sneered, "What are you thinking about all day long!" Let the family see, let's get married again, what do you make the old man think? This is not just my father, but also your parents, such a fuss, doesn't it remind them that they have no ability to organize a decent wedding for us, and now they have to make up for it again? The better you do it, the more uncomfortable they will be! Maybe there will be some more turmoil! ”

"What's that?" Zhang Qingting didn't care, "Just assume that we are not sensible, can't we play once?" Otherwise, it's all on me, and I don't need you to fuck at all, I'll make it clear to them, you only need to show up at that time! ”

Zhang Qingting very much wanted to make up for a decent wedding, but unfortunately Zhao Chengcai just couldn't understand, didn't dare to agree, and resolutely disagreed, "We are already husband and wife, what's the point of going through those motions again?" How can there be a husband and wife in this world who worship once and heaven and earth again? It's a joke to say it! When you are still young, it is like playing at home, and you worship today and worship tomorrow? You must not mention this! Even if the parents listen to it, they will definitely not object in front of you. But what do you think when you let them go back and close the door? Don't add to the blockage! ”

Zhang Qingting was very angry, and he muttered angrily, "I shouldn't have followed you if I knew I wouldn't have ...... Hum! I'm afraid you'll be shut! ”

Zhao Chengcai stretched his face and pretended to be angry, "If you do this again, it will be unreasonable!" Lady, you have always been the most empathetic, the smartest and most trouble-free, why are you so reluctant to do this? It's all Hongwen's blind date, don't worry, this trip is done, whether they succeed or not, I'll ask him to give you a gift, do you think you want to knock him on a piece of clothing, or a piece of jewelry? Of course, it can't be too expensive, and the meaning is done. ”

Zhang Qingting snorted heavily, twisted his waist and left. Dead showmanship, it's not interesting at all!

Xiucai still looked at her back and shook her head speechlessly, this woman, the idea is really incredible。.。
