Shi'er rushed into Chunying's room. closed the door with his backhand, grabbed her and asked, "Is the person my second sister wants to betroth, isn't it bad?" Not only is he old, but he still marries a house?! ”

Chun Ying was stunned and replied, "It's true that you're old, you look like you're in your forties, right?" I heard that my wife died and I had a daughter, and now she is the one who comes as a guest. Seeing Shi'er's ugly face, he added: "But other than that, it's not bad." I saw it once in a hurry, and the person was very kind and good-looking. Just now I heard the little girl talking about it when she passed by, saying that his daughter was dressed up very rich, and it seemed that the family was quite rich. ”

Shi'er kept a straight face and didn't speak, Chunying was a little puzzled: "Who did you listen to?" They...... It's not going to be publicized right now, is it?! ”

Shi'er snorted coldly, said all the words he had just heard, and said, "I think the second sister seems to have known for a long time, but our family hasn't heard any rumors!" With her talent and appearance, as well as my uncle's grandfather's face, who can't she marry?! Even if that person is an official, he is only a child of a family. It's not as good as the right way, it's still an old widower! In the past, several of the people who proposed to my second sister were talented people with solid family backgrounds! Uncle and grandfather didn't respond at the time, and the suspect's family was low, what is it now? Second sister, is this self-defeating?! Suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "Chun'er, in Fang Cai Dong'er's words, he also mentioned that he wanted you to marry another steward, what is that person like?!" An old guy too? ”

Chunying was a little amused when she heard it: "The old guy is not counted, he is in his thirties, he is very fat, and he speaks a little yin and yang, I think I am very annoying." She frowned, "But that's not the point......"

Shi'er quickly interrupted her: "Good Chun'er, don't agree!" It's scary enough to marry an old man, but he's still a fat man! We are still young, don't want to be vain, look at your sister's relatives, you know that your father loves her daughter, and she will arrange a good marriage for you in the future! ”

Chunying smiled, her heart warm: "Don't worry, I refused at the time, no matter what my aunt says, I won't agree." ”

Shi'er breathed a sigh of relief, and became worried again: "But what should my second sister do......"

After dinner, Miss Zhou accompanied Huo Yi to talk to Aunt Qing for a while, and then said goodbye and left. Before leaving, she also said that she would bring some interesting gadgets she had collected in Nanyang to Huo Yi in a few days, and the latter ordered Nanqi to prepare a generous gift for Miss Zhou to take home. Although Miss Zhou didn't say anything, there was a faint joy and excitement on her face. This time, both parties can be regarded as guests and hosts.

When Nanqi returned to the room, it was already one watch (19 to 21 o'clock in the evening), she was a little tired, and she was trying to have a good rest, but when she entered the door, she saw Chunying and Shi'er sitting on the bed doing needlework with the lamplight, and when she heard the sound, she looked up, and the latter immediately jumped out of bed and closed the door behind her.

Nanqi had some bad premonitions, and reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth: "What is this for?" ”

Shi'er didn't answer, pulled her to the edge of the bed and sat down, and asked, "Second sister, did you agree to this marriage?" Would you like to marry that old widower?! Why?! You didn't fancy how many good people in the past, how can you get married casually now?! ”

Chun Ying also said: "Sister Nanqi, I know that you are worried that your marriage will be blocked, and that Steward Zhou is okay to look at it." But he's really too far behind you, do you really stop thinking about it? ”

Nanqi's face darkened: "What else is there to consider?" That's good. After that, he raised his eyes and looked at Chunying: "I heard that you refused?" Why is that? If we are born in a family, it is a great blessing to be able to marry into a solid family outside as a main house, not to mention an official family? You can't compare to me, I rely on my grandfather's face, maybe I can climb other good people, you ...... You may not be able to meet this kind of marriage again. ”

Chunying was stunned, and her face looked a little bad: "I don't know what a good person is, but I don't want to be married off in a daze!" That Steward Cai doesn't look like a good husband at first glance, no matter how rich he is, I won't live with such a person for the rest of my life. If you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you, but don't help anyone persuade me! What you want, others may not want! ”

Nanqi looked stunned, but Shi'er was angry: "What is this called by the second sister?!" You're willing to give up on yourself, Chun'er won't! Those old and ugly men just have a few stinky money, and my sister still treats them as treasures! ”

Nanqi's face was a little unbearable, with a little annoyance, he glared at Shi'er, gritted his teeth and said, "You are willing to be me?!" In the past, I didn't respond to the people who said that they were closer to each other, and there were many stronger than the Zhou family, but now if I marry Zhou Steward, I will be slapped in the mouth, do you want to be ashamed of me? But what can I do?! If there is any other way out, I will not nod my head! ”

Chunying's heart moved: "Are you worried that your wife won't let you go out to get married?" You're not young anymore, and it's a bit of a hassle. But you have decency in front of Miss now, right? beg the young lady to talk to the old lady, or simply ask Aunt Qing to go to the wife to mention it, and the wife will not be able to stop her again. After all, we are already owned by the young lady, and it would be rude for the lady to interfere again, and it would be difficult for her to explain it on the old lady's side alone. ”

Nanqi smiled bitterly: "Haven't you thought about it?" But the young lady has not yet come out of the cabinet, this kind of girl with people, she will never mention it, unless she is a young grandmother, so that she can call the shots for us, and now even if she wants to say something, it is Aunt Qing who speaks for her. They are afraid of my wife, and there are many things that will give her three points, knowing that my wife is not happy to let me marry, how can they risk helping me and offending my wife? But now that I want to marry the former steward of the Huo family, I will become a young lady who wants to point me out, and she must speak. ”

Shi'er interjected with a sneer: "Could it be that if we don't marry the steward of the Huo family, the young lady will not care about our life or death?!" After serving her for a few years, although we can't serve her life, we are doing our best. It's too chilling for her to treat us like this, isn't it?!

Chunying also felt the same way, and once again woke up to the fact that no matter how beautiful and talented she was, Miss was Miss and would never consider things from the standpoint of a girl.

Nanqi moved his lips, lowered his head, and said with some embarrassment: "This matter...... I don't blame her, we are not only her girls, but we will also be ...... in the future If you want to accompany her to get married, isn't that the same? She lowered her head. My marriage, the family has long begged for grace, and Aunt Qing also promised not to interfere, but Mrs. Chu rejected it three or four times, so it was delayed until today. I heard that day at the second master's house that there was a Zhou steward who was going to enter Beijing, he lost his wife in his early years, and planned to marry a wife in Beijing, just Jinxiu said to Aunt Qing that day, it is best to arrange a person of his own for this steward, even if he is no longer a slave of the Huo family in the future, he will remember the old love and take more care of the little master. I thought about it for a long time before I boldly asked my aunt to recommend me. As for the Cai steward, he heard about it a few days ago, and he suddenly decided to please him, and I was also taken aback when I saw him at the second gate. ”

After hearing this, Chunying felt a little better in her heart, but the pimple was still there, so she didn't think much about it, and asked directly, "Then what are you anxious about?" Drag it on, wait for the young lady to marry the third young master, and you can be our master, it's not too late for you to think about marriage again. Since you can even agree to such a thing as Steward Zhou, are you afraid that you won't be able to marry a good family? ”

Shi'er also chimed in: "That's a good thing! Not to mention anything else, just because the family has been begging for three years and has no intention of dying, the second sister is not afraid that she will not be able to get married! ”

Nanqi was silent for a while before he said lightly: "You and I just think about whether I can get married?" You're underestimating me too much! ”

Shi'er was stunned: "Second sister? ”

"My wife has stopped my family affairs several times, why should you do it?" Nanqi stared at her cousin's eyes and asked, Shi'er replied with some hesitation, "Is she deliberately embarrassing you?" To get revenge on your uncle? Nanqi sneered: "Then you are too underestimated to look down on your wife!" ”

Shi'er and Chunying glanced at each other, and hurriedly sat on the side to listen carefully, while Chunying immediately ran to the door and looked outside, making sure that no one could hear, before closing the door and returning to the bedside.

Nanqi said: "My grandfather has been the chief steward of this mansion for decades, and to put it mildly, almost every steward was taught and brought out by him, especially the Zhuangzi and shops in various places. Everywhere he is working hard. Even if he doesn't deal with him on weekdays, he has to give him a little thin face. In the past few years, my grandfather has been old and impatient to fight with others, so he has fallen silent, but up and down in this house, if he really encounters any major events, he has to rely on his old man! My wife is doing everything possible to match me to her son, isn't it just that she intends for her people to take over grandpa's connections? Who called grandpa and I was left with a granddaughter?! ”

Chunying opened her mouth and sighed: "This is not a good thing, too capable, too famous, and will arouse suspicion." Shi'er nodded: "My father has already persuaded my uncle and grandfather to retire early and enjoy Qingfu while his body is still strong, and those troubles will be gone!" ”

Nanqi glanced over: "It's easy to think!" Grandpa is indeed jealous, but he can't retreat! He retired, and his words had no weight, our surname is Wang, and there are more than 100 people in a big family, what should I do?! When you are the master and wife, will you really let him be raised at home with peace of mind? Hou Ye is still there, will his wife's temperament make his grandfather live a comfortable life? It is nice to say, how much silver is given every month, and two people are sent to serve the grandfather, but everything is not managed, and someone follows when he goes out, and some of the descendants of the descendants have been dismissed from errands, demoted to the mountains, or beaten and sold...... Can he say a word? Shi'er, the burden on Grandpa's shoulders is heavy, don't think too simply! ”

Shi'er was ashamed of what she said, and lowered her head. Nanqi didn't look at her, and continued: "If there are more people in the family, there will be more ideas, what kind of people in our Wang family don't have it?" Although your family is close to mine, when my mother was scolded by my wife in public, your mother just stood by and watched. Your family has never taken care of the affairs of the second young master, but just stood by and watched. There is also Xiao Wu'er's family, although the surname is Wang, but they help the eldest young master, and they don't have anything to do with our family. But your family and his family are at least not like the third uncle, causing trouble everywhere and causing a lot of trouble to grandpa, so that's all. Not to mention the others who are cheating and playing tricks and doing things in the name of grandpa. Grandpa has bothered a lot for you, I know you have always been unappreciative, but no matter what, it's always a family, and grandpa won't watch you being calculated! ”

Shi'er's head was lower, Chunying was a little surprised, thinking about it, it was indeed not so easy for Mr. Wang to retreat. Maybe there is an old lady here, he can still live a stable life, but once the old lady is gone, he may be unlucky, even if he is not unlucky, those young generations surnamed Wang will inevitably do some bad things, and they will be liquidated by the head of the family. Judging from the position of Mr. Wang, he naturally couldn't bear it.

She looked at Nanqi with some reluctance: "Then what can I do?" It's a vicious circle! If you don't think of a way to solve it, your family will still be unlucky in the future! After a pause, it dawned on him: "Do you want to...... Starting from scratch?! ”

Nanqi smiled: "It's hard for you to think of this. The Wang family is rooted here, and it is easy to leave. But if I can marry a powerful man, my wife can't go too far. In the future, when grandpa retires, the Wang family may lose their errands, but at least they will not worry about their lives. If it really doesn't work, I think of a way for my family to get out. is protected by the Huo family, and there is ...... Steward Zhou, it should be okay. She looked at her cousin: "I originally thought, since Steward Cai also asked for a wife, and you are also old, it is better to go together......"

Shi'er's face changed, and he stood up suddenly: "Second sister! Her eyes were full of horror, and she looked at Chunying helplessly, and Chunying frowned: "Does it have to be like this?" What you are willing to do, Shi'er may not be willing, and besides, Mrs. did not stop her from marrying! Don't forget, it wasn't the second young master she was waiting for! ”

"Second Young Master or Third Young Master, what's the difference?" Nanqi said lightly, "Shi'er is always surnamed Wang." ”

"She is about the same age as me, and when Miss Cousin becomes the third young grandmother, Mrs. will not be able to meddle in her marriage." Chunying took Shi'er's hand, "Don't be afraid. You are not the granddaughter of Mr. Wang. ”

Shi'er's face turned pale, but she still nodded calmly, she turned to Nanqi and said: "Second sister, our family doesn't get involved in those things, my wife knows it in her heart, if you want to marry, you can marry, I ...... I'd rather have the young lady be the master and match the little girl, or go outside to find an ordinary person to endure hardships, rather than marry that Cai fat man! ”

A trace of sadness flashed between Nanqi's eyebrows, but he instantly regained his calm: "Then let it be, anyway...... I'm enough! She got up and walked to the corner, wiped her face with a wet hand towel, and left Chunying and Shi'er in place.

Chunying looked at Shi'er, and then thought about herself, and suddenly felt a little heavy.
