.. org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the full court cuckoo red!
Sympathy for the same disease, the distance has suddenly shortened a lot.
Shi Wei saw that the fire had arrived, and offered to leave.
Zhu Tongchen is a person who loves talents, asked the address of the Liu family, personally sent the three of them to the gate, turned back to the hall and sat down, and instructed the family members standing on the side: "Go, call the eldest prince." ”
"Yes, sir." The family left.
The maid Ping'er and Qiu'er listened to the wall for a long time, and saw that the father and son of the Liu family did not mention family affairs for half a sentence, so they hurriedly came to report to Zhu Hong.
"Miss, this Liu Gongzi is really, either he won't come, and he won't mention his relatives when he comes, what kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd." Ping'er chattered and complained.
Zhu Hong's beautiful eyes were sad and silent, she had the same idea as Ping'er.
Qiu'er was the most calm, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "Will there be any hidden secrets in this, we always have to think of ideas to inquire about one or two." ”
Although Zhu Hongyu has lived in the deep house for a long time, she is not the one who has no idea when she encounters something, hearing Qiu'er say this, she pursed her red lips and thought for a while: "Maybe there is something unspeakable and undecided, if he has no intention of me, he will not come today." Qiu'er, you have always been cautious, so I will leave this matter to you. ”
Qiu'er said with a smile: "Miss, don't worry, this is not difficult to do with the maid." ”
In the main hall in front, Zhu Hongying, the eldest son of the Zhu family, had arrived, and when he saw his father on the main seat in the middle, he hurriedly asked: "Father, can you call the child to do something urgent?" ”
Zhu the head of the family stroked his long beard and said, "This matter is not urgent, but it is related to your sister's life, and it needs to be considered in the long run." ”
Zhu Hongying is very curious about what kind of character he is, his father is cautious and cautious about his sister's family affairs, for fear that he will be wronged if he marries in the past, and he calls himself today, and he is afraid that he has already succeeded.
Zhu the head of the family told Shi Wei about the visit of the three people, and his appreciation for Liu Lanqing was revealed between his words.
Zhu Hongying figured out what his father meant, and asked with a smile: "Does my father want me to find out about Liu Gongzi's family history?" ”
"Hmm." Zhu the head of the family nodded.
"Okay, let the child do it, and make sure that everything is omitted and reported to the father within three days." Zhu Hong saluted and retreated.
Through this contact, the father and son of the Liu family have a preliminary understanding of the head of the Zhu family, but they are not sure whether the two families can become good friends of Qin and Jin, so they can only continue to find a way to detect the intentions of the Zhu family.
After a round of totaling, the result is still to let Liu Qingyan go out.
Zhu the head of the family has already indicated that there is a meaning of intersection, so it is not indispensable for the women of the two families to become close friends in the boudoir, Liu Qingyan's birthday is coming, take this opportunity to post to invite Miss Zhujia to come to the birthday banquet, it is reasonable for the teacher to be famous.
"This matter should not be too hasty, if it is fast, it will make people think that our family is vulgar and philistine, and I will post it with people in a bad way, and I will post it again at the end of the month." Liu Qingyan thought about it in her heart.
Liu Bowen nodded in agreement and said, "It should be like this, we can't ruin the Zhu family's impression of our family at a critical juncture." ”
Liu Lanqing's face turned crimson, and he arched his hand and said: "Trouble my sister to work hard for me, brother, I thank you here first." ”
"What's the trouble is not troublesome, my brother speaks to outsiders. I am also very happy about this sister-in-law, and I will definitely help my brother marry him. Liu Qingyan said with a hippie smile.
The crowd chuckled.
The next day, Liu Qingyan and Jiu'er wanted to go to the shop to see how the repair project was progressing, and as soon as they walked out of the alley, they saw a familiar girl walking towards them with a smile.
The person who came was Zhu Hong's maid Qiu'er, she walked up to Liu Qingyan and gave a light salute, and said, "Miss Liu, do you remember the maid?" ”
Liu Qingyan's eyes flashed slightly, and she said with a smile: "Naturally, I remember, we only met on the night of Shangyuan." ”
Qiu'er took a look at the surrounding situation, looked at Liu Qingyan earnestly, and said, "The maid has something important to ask Miss Liu today, I wonder if Miss Liu is convenient?" ”
"I don't have anything important to do today, so let's go find a quiet teahouse in front and sit down and talk." Liu Qingyan's eyes were so calm that she didn't see a ripple, and at this moment, she couldn't understand what Zhu Hong's maid was doing when she came to her, so she could only see the move.
The three of them came to a teahouse on the street and asked Xiao Er for a quiet private room.
Qiu'er stood at first and refused to sit, very obedient, and after some persuasion by Liu Qingyan, she thanked her for sitting down half of her buttocks.
When Xiao Er came in and served tea and refreshments, Qiu'er didn't beat around the bush and directly explained her intentions.
Knowing Zhu Hong's attitude, Liu Qingyan was secretly happy in her heart, it seems that this sister-in-law can't run away.
She smiled slightly and said to Qiu'er: "Sister Qiu'er doesn't know anything, and my brother is also very fond of Miss Zhu, but he was worried that the gap between the two families was too big, so he didn't dare to rashly propose a family matter." ”
Qiu'er hurriedly said: "My young lady admires Liu Gongzi's talent, not a person who is greedy for vanity, and I also ask Miss Liu to inform the elder of the family." ”
"Sister Qiu'er doesn't have to be in a hurry, drink a cup of tea and listen to me slowly." Liu Qingyan held the pot and poured tea into Qiu'er's cup, brought the teacup to her, and said unhurriedly when she sat down again: "Miss Zhu's temperament has been determined in my heart when I see it that day, but this matter cannot be determined by just one true feeling." Miss Zhu may not value her family background, but do the elders in the family think the same way? ”
"This ......" Qiu'er is just a maid, and she will know where she will know the thoughts of the rest of the family, and she doesn't know how to answer for a while.
Liu Qingyan smiled slightly, and said with a very gentle and calm expression: "The elders in my family attach great importance to this family affair and are already actively planning, why don't my sister go back and tell Miss Zhu about my brother's intentions, so that she can find out how to find out the attitude of the elders in the family." If I don't object, my Liu family will definitely come to the door immediately to ask for marriage. ”
Qiu'er immediately got up when she heard this, and said, "The maid will go back and tell the young lady." ”
Liu Qingyan didn't stop her, she only asked Qiu'er to tell Zhu Hongyu that she would visit her in a few days.
Qiu'er responded and hurriedly left.
After Liu Qingyan saw Qiu'er leave, she turned her head and smiled at Jiu'er, and called Xiao Er to settle the bill.
Qiu'er returned to Zhuyuan and reported the actual situation to Zhu Hong.
Zhu Hongyu couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and said, "I knew that Liu Gongzi was interested in me. In the book, it is easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a lover, as long as I can be with someone who treats me sincerely, what does it matter if my life is harder. ”
Qiu'er and Ping'er glanced at each other, and stepped forward to congratulate each other.
Zhu Hong sneered, and the three of them immediately discussed countermeasures.
After a while, Zhu Hong led the two maids to her mother in the front yard.
Mrs. Zhu listened to her daughter's story about the relationship with the man on the night of Shangyuan, and she didn't have time to react in a daze, Zhu Hong ran out crying, shouting that she was going to commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake while running.
I wish Mrs. woke up and hurriedly ordered the maids and daughters-in-law to stop her.
Zhu Hongfei cried and struggled and refused to give in.
"My son, what you said was too sudden, my mother just didn't react for a while, where did I say I didn't agree, aren't you digging my mother's heart by doing this." Mrs. Zhu hugged her daughter and persuaded her softly.
Zhu Hong's crying was a little quieter, and she sobbed: "Mother, you agree, but father may not agree, I still don't live." ”
Mrs. Zhu hugged her daughter tightly, cried for a while, and then said: "The three generations of the Zhu family have a daughter like you, and they usually don't dare to pick the moon for you if they want the stars, then the Liu family is just poorer, and the most important thing our family lacks is silver. If your father dares to disagree, he will accompany you on the road for his mother's three-foot white silk. ”
Zhu Hongyan stopped crying and asked, "Mother is telling the truth?" ”
Mrs. Zhu nodded in response and said, "Your father went out to run errands, and when he comes back in two days, I will go and talk to him in person." ”
Zhu Hongyu burst into tears and smiled, and snuggled into Mrs. Zhu's arms and secretly glanced at Qiu'er and Ping'er.
The two maids came forward to help the young lady back to the inner courtyard.
Two days later, the head of the Zhu family returned from going out, and the eldest son Zhu Hongying came to report the information he had heard.
"The ancestors of the Liu family have also raised people, which is considered to be a poetry heirloom, Liu Gongzi won the third place in the first class in the hospital examination last year, if it is not for the life lawsuit in the family, in the future, it is very likely that the Jinshi and the first are also very likely, but it's a pity."
Zhu Hongying first revealed the economic situation of the Liu family, and then sighed.
The head of the Zhu family stroked his beard and was silent for a while, and sighed: "If the Liu family is just a poor family, it would be easy to do, with the financial resources of our Zhu family, it is not difficult to donate an official to the examination when he is in the examination, but now that the career has been broken, it is another matter." ”
Merchants have a low status, and no matter how rich they are, they cannot be compared with low-ranking officials.
If there is a son-in-law who is an official, then one person will ascend to heaven, and the identity of the entire family will be raised, and his status will be higher than that of other wealthy businessmen.
"By the way, father, the Shi family and the Liu family have a close relationship, and the two families have an agreement to marry Qin and Jin." Zhu Hongying suddenly remembered something again.
The head of the Zhu family didn't care much about this, shook his head and said: "The Shi family is from the rivers and lakes, and their style has always been deviant, so it is not surprising that the two of them are married. ”
Just when the father and son of the Zhu family were talking about the Liu family, Mrs. Zhu came after hearing the news.
She heard the conversation between the two, pulled down her face to the left of the head of the Zhu family, and said: "The Shi family can't compare to our Zhu family, but the reputation of the Shi family has become more and more famous in recent years, and it seems that it is about to be on par with our family. ”
The father and son of the Zhu family didn't know about Zhu Hong's first night, and they were inexplicable.
"Where did Madame come from?" The head of the Zhu family asked blankly.
Mrs. Zhu glanced at him lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Your daughter has made a love affair with the son of the Liu family on the night of Shangyuan, and they came to visit you a few days ago, otherwise why do you think others are rushing to get acquainted with you." ”
The father and son looked at each other.
Mrs. Zhu then said: "Although the Liu family has broken off their careers, there are two talents who are famous, and they are much better looking than ordinary businessmen in terms of face, so what does it matter if the family is worse now." The people of the Shi family are not fools, and they are willing to marry the Liu family, they must have taken a fancy to something. If our Zhu family also marries the Liu family, it is equivalent to forming an alliance with the Shi family, and there will be no disadvantages. ”
Zhu the head of the family frowned and pondered, and it took a long time before he stretched out, and said: "Madame has lived in the inner house for a long time, and her vision is longer than mine. ”
