Chapter 624: Matchmaker, Please
As soon as April enters, Guangzhou heats up. At this time, Benjamin's mansion was also completely completed and moved out of the governor's palace.
Xing Shuang thought that this kid had finally moved out, and he could stop a little here, but who knew that Benjamin only moved out the first day, and the next day he brought the prefect's wife to the door and proposed.
This kid also knows Huaxia's habits, it is not appropriate for him to come to the door to propose marriage, and he doesn't know who to inquire, he wants to find Mrs. Quanfu, and even invited Mrs. Prefect.
There are outsiders here, Xing Shuang naturally won't refute Benjamin's face, so he asked Yingchun to come out and meet with the prefect's wife according to the process.
This is the first time that the prefect's wife has seen the eldest girl of the Jia family, and when she saw it, she couldn't help but praise her for her good and unconventional description.
Yingchun smiled generously, stood in front of the prefect's wife, and let her look at it.
The prefect's wife even asked her what she did on weekdays, what her preferences were, and when Yingchun retreated, she said to Xing Shuang with envy: "The governor's wife is so blessed, her sons are all talented, and her daughters are also beautiful and fragrant." ”
Xing Shuang hurriedly smiled: "The national color and natural fragrance are not at all, but they look more thoughtful and can be eye-catching." ”
The prefect's wife asked Xing Shuang according to the process if she was satisfied with the marriage, in fact, she regretted helping the Westerner to be a matchmaker at this time, and she couldn't wait for the governor's wife not to agree, so that she could introduce her son-in-law to the governor's wife.
Unexpectedly, the governor's wife agreed to it, and immediately exchanged Geng posts.
The prefect's wife was very annoyed in her heart, and when she returned to the house, she mentioned this matter to the prefect of Guangzhou, and said: "I think that girl in her family is really a first-class person." In terms of appearance and temperament, I am afraid that there is no one more top-notch than her in this Guangzhou City.
"But I promised the Westerner a long time ago and became a matchmaker for others. If not, my nephew is also very good, and although she is a little worse, it is not a grievance against her. ”
When the prefect heard this, he hurriedly persuaded her: "I don't know what the character of the governor's wife is, but haven't you heard of the governor's temperament?" Why did I ask you to help, that foreigner, and it wasn't Governor Jia who personally instructed me? If you dare to spoil his big business, let alone marry your nephew, it is difficult to say whether your nephew will have a bright future in the future. ”
When the prefect's wife heard this, she was startled, and she didn't dare to fight the idea of welcoming the Spring Festival again, but said again: "I heard that she also has a second girl and a niece in her family." It's also a wonderful person, but I haven't seen it today. Thinking that the big girls are like this, the two are not far behind. ”
The prefect listened to it and thought a little, but after thinking about it, the eldest girl was not worthy of her own family, and she heard that the second girl was the daughter of the Jia family, and she was born by the governor's wife, so she must have higher requirements than the eldest girl, so she still persuaded her wife to save this heart.
It's just that the prefect's wife didn't listen to her husband this time, and ran to the governor's mansion a few times, wanting to see the second girl and niece of the Jia family, but unfortunately it was not a coincidence that the two girls either went to the fishing village or went to the mountains, and they were not at home.
On this day, the prefect's wife ran to Jiafu again, and only after entering the second gate, she saw that the road was crowded with people, she curiously pricked up her ears and listened, it turned out that the foreigner came to give a small gift before.
The prefect's wife couldn't help but peek twice, and saw that the big and small cages crowded the Yongdao so that people couldn't stand, and she couldn't help smacking her tongue in her heart, saying that it is no wonder that the governor wants to marry his daughter to a Westerner, and this kind of financial resources are not beyond the reach of ordinary people.
When I looked up again, I saw the eldest girl in the governor's palace coming out of the second door, and there was the Westerner with her, and the prefect's wife hurriedly flashed to the side.
"Don't give so many things next time, how can you let my mother pay it back?" Yingchun is not angry with Benjamin, but both of them use English, so outsiders can't understand it.
Benjamin smiled and said: "If I send less, I'm afraid that Mrs. will think I'm insincere, and Orientals don't always say that sincerity is spiritual?" ”
Yingchun laughed, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "My mother is not a Bodhisattva!" This dowry and return gift have to be reciprocal, you send these over, and my mother has to bother to find a return gift for you. Besides, these things, won't it be our own to get married in the future? ”
Benjamin scratched his head and said, "Then listen to you, it seems that there is still one more gift, and I will give less next time." ”
Yingchun smiled and nodded, and the two were walking to the door, Yingchun said goodbye to him, and said: "It stands to reason that we can't meet before marriage, and now that we meet, my mother doesn't care about these red tape." It's just that we have to pay attention to ourselves, so that outsiders know about it, and we want to gossip. ”
When Benjamin heard this, he didn't want to say anything more, and watched the beautiful woman turn away, stand there for a while, and leave in a daze.
The prefect's wife came out from behind the door, and was surprised in her heart, saying in her heart that this governor's wife is no wonder she looks down on others, it turns out that these two have known each other for a long time. And this big girl can actually speak foreigners, and it seems that she has a lot of contact with foreigners. That nephew is really not worthy of others.
Thinking about it again, the eldest girl is like this, and the second girl must be stronger than the eldest girl. The prefect's wife couldn't help sighing in her heart, and said in her heart, how can there be a young man worthy of her family in this world.
In the end, she turned home again, Xing Shuang heard that she came and left without entering the yard, and she was still wondering in her heart, when she heard that she stood in Yongdao for a while, and inquired about Yingchun and Benjamin going out together, she was still worried that this prefect's wife would talk nonsense.
Who knew that after waiting for a few days, there was no bad news coming out, and Xing Shuang's heart also settled down. After thinking about it, he also sent someone to send a matchmaker thank you gift that was several heavy to the door, and the prefect's wife was polite and accepted it generously, which made Xing Shuang more relieved.
Also, this mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the governor is equivalent to a single party, with such an identity, if the prefect's wife dares to chew her tongue behind her back, I am afraid that her family official will not have to do it.
These officials and wives are still very good at judging the situation, and this kind of thing of killing 500 enemies and losing 1,000 is not likely for people with a little brain to do.
Xing Shuang was relieved and concentrated on her daughter's marriage, Tanchun and Daiyu were idle, and they also helped Zhang Luo with the details.
If this is placed in someone else's house, the daughter who has not left the cabinet helps her sister take care of the details of the marriage, I am afraid that I will be said to be shameless. But in Jia's family, a few girls helped their wives take care of the housekeepers when they were young, and those maids were used to it, and they didn't think it was a big deal at all.
In addition, Tanchun and Daiyu have been with Yingchun for the longest time, and they are also the people who know Yingchun the most. Let the two of them help deal with it, but it will get twice the result with half the effort.
