Chapter 659: The Matchmaker
Huo Roufeng has been in the Suiyunling military camp for more than a year, and he is very familiar with every general, and he has the most profound impression of Cai Ruoyu.
Cai Ruoyu has the fame of showing talent, and his family is originally well-off, and the family is happy. One year when he went out to run errands, he returned home to learn that the Tartars had washed the village with blood, and that his parents, wife, and children had all been killed.
He knelt in front of the graves of his loved ones without shedding a single tear.
Since then, he has abandoned his pen from Rong, from a small soldier to a flag officer, and later built a military camp with Yunling, Zhanhuai transferred him, and now he is a thousand households.
Huo Roufeng knew about his family affairs, and at this time, when he heard Zhanhuai first ask about Cai He, and then about Cai Ruoyu, he frowned.
"It's not good, it's not good, Caihe will definitely not agree."
"Why? Where is Lao Cai not worthy of her, wasn't she just a maid before? Zhanhuai didn't understand.
Huo Roufeng's slender fingers poked Zhanhuai's nose: "Listen, didn't you say it yourself?" You said that she used to be a maid, that is, you think she is not worthy of Lao Cai, and my people can't be wronged. ”
Zhanhuai suddenly regretted what he had just said, but Lao Cai was in his thirties, if he hadn't heard that Cai Ruoyu didn't even bother to receive the official salary, he was curious for a while, and asked a few more words, and he wouldn't have thought of giving Cai Ruoyu a family.
Cai Ruoyu said: "I am alone, and I don't have to support my family, I live in the barracks, I have military clothes to wear, and military rations to eat, what is the use of a lonely family asking for silver." ”
This is very reasonable, and Zhan Huai also felt that it was right at the beginning, but when he thought about it carefully, it was bitter.
Zhanhuai suddenly felt that he could make money to spend on his family, which was also a very happy thing.
Cai Ruoyu is a person who can take on a big job, Zhanhuai doesn't want him to be so lonely for a lifetime, Xue Sheng is very good like that, his wife is virtuous and the children are cute, Xue Sheng seems to have inexhaustible strength every time he comes back from home, and he is bent on earning a phoenix crown for his wife.
When people have dreams, they will struggle and strive for them.
His dream is to let Xiao Jiu return to the capital in a dignified manner, he wants to hold the most prosperous lantern festival for Xiao Jiu in the capital, and tens of thousands of lanterns are only brilliant for Xiao Jiu alone;
Xue Sheng's dream is to seal his wife and son, so that future generations will be proud of him;
Even Ah Quan and Ah You have dreams, and the two boys said in unison that they wanted to marry a beautiful lady with a rich dowry and have a bunch of white and chubby children.
That's why he wanted to wave his army to the east and enter the Forbidden City; Xue Sheng worked hard to train his troops, and he hated to become a victorious general; Ah Quan Ah You tried his best to please Huo Roufeng, and looked at the five ladies to give them the inlaid green and inlaid bi.
But Cai Ruoyu lives like an old man, and when he hears that when he is resting in the barracks, he will also get up early to drill the army, and the people below complain.
Zhanhuai didn't know which family had a little lady who didn't come out of the pavilion, and today when I saw my mother-in-law's side in the back house, I felt that the girl looked very smooth, and it was not bad to marry Lao Cai.
Although Huo Roufeng refused, he still called Caihe over in private and asked, sure enough, Caihe's head shook like a drum, and he refused with a red face: "The slave's elder brother and brother are all descendants of the Huo family, and the slave and maid have never thought of being an official's wife, if the fifth lady loves the slave and maid, she will find a flat-headed person for the slave and maid, who is honest and reliable, and will make money to support the family." Besides, the slave and maid entrusted the blessing of the fifth lady and learned a body of medical skills, and the slave and maid thought about it, if Mrs. Xie didn't need the slave and maid, the slave and maid would go to the barracks to work as a medical worker, treat the sick and save people, and hang the pot to help the world. ”
Cai He is the person next to Xie Honglin, Xie Honglin has made a generous move, in recent years, Cai He has not taken less rewards, this girl has seen the world, and she thinks through her heart, rather than marrying an official who she can't climb, it is better to be like Cai Qin, with a dowry in her hand, and her in-laws and concubines all look at it, and if you want to come out to do things, no one will say anything.
After Xie Honglin heard about it and asked, Huo Roufeng repeated Caihe's words, Xie Honglin said: "Good girl, I didn't hurt her in vain, if she is not used in the military camp, I will give her money to open a medical center." ”
Which is this, Huo Roufeng hurriedly patted her mother's hand: "Keep your money for yourself to marry your daughter-in-law, Caihe wants to open a medical center, and me." ”
Zhanhuai could only laugh dryly when he heard about it, he underestimated that little girl, it seems that being a matchmaker is really not suitable for him.
He had never liked to ask about these things, so he left them behind.
It just so happened that on this day, Grandma Wu brought Ah Yuan and Ah Zuo over, and since the last Ah Xiang full moon banquet, Grandma Wu came over for the first time.
Huo Roufeng had actually forgotten about that incident a long time ago, she had always liked Ah Yuan and Ah Zuo, and the two were arguing to see their little sister, so Huo Roufeng asked Zhu Cui to take them to see Ah Xiang.
Grandma Wu said a little embarrassed: "Last time my mother-in-law went back, I was complained by my father-in-law, although it was said that it was across the room, but Sister Bin and our uncle and second master are brothers and sisters who broke bones and tendons, and her family affairs are not that we don't want to mention it, but we don't dare to mention it, for fear that we can't find a suitable one, which makes the second aunt and Sister Bin feel sad, and I'm afraid that I will lose my eyes and hurt Sister Bin for a lifetime." ”
As soon as Grandma Wu said this, Huo Roufeng remembered the last time she took advantage of Wu Xinxin's family affairs to count the Wu family down.
Jiu Ye's memory is getting worse and worse, is it really a stupid pregnancy for three years?
Huo Roufeng reflected on herself while carefully recalling the events of that day.
Suddenly, a light flashed in her mind, how could she not think of it!
"Your Wu family is one of the richest families in Shaanxi, do you want to marry your daughter's in-laws?" Huo Roufeng was born in a merchant, she has also heard of it, many big businessmen would rather let their daughters be concubines than find a son-in-law who is also a merchant, saying that they love their daughters, but they actually want to use their daughter's relatives to climb to the official palace and make business smoother.
Grandma Wu immediately said: "That's not it, the fifth lady also knows that we don't have a daughter in the long room, and there is no son in the second room, after that incident, the second uncle and the second aunt also broke off the idea of having a son, and they are all tied to Sister Bin, as long as Sister Bin can marry someone who can tolerate her, they will rest assured, it doesn't matter if there is a family background, it's okay if there is no dowry, is there still a lack of that dowry in our Wu family?" As long as the character is good and willing to take responsibility, it is enough. ”
Of course, these words were not Grandma Wu's own, but Mrs. Wu asked Wu Baozhong, and Wu Baozhong discussed with the second room before giving them.
This is the meaning of the Wu family.
"Is it okay to be more than ten years older than Binbin? What about filling the house? Doesn't it look good? In Huo Roufeng's view, it is really a big and important problem to fill the house for a bad-looking uncle.
She only likes good-looking little brothers, such as Xiao Zhan.
