Chapter 186: Marriage Contract
Shi Zhou Xingshi read the agreement and was not calm for a moment.
During the Chinese New Year, the Zhou clan will hold ancestor worship activities, and Zhou Xingshi will definitely participate.
He knew Zhou Zhengyi too well, the big mansion of the Zhou Mansion in Tanzhou City was one of the most luxurious mansions in Tanzhou Mansion, and the hostess of the mansion, Mrs. Zhou, often bought silk from his silk shop. Zhou Ziyao, the daughter of the Zhou family, also knew Zhou Qinglian, and invited Qinglian to visit Zhou's mansion.
It turned out that Zhou Zhengyi, who was a big official in the capital, was still a family member with him.
Zhou Xingshi took the agreement and discussed with his wife: "What do you say?" ”
Mrs. Zhou had an idea: "Then what else can I do!" It must be done according to the marriage contract! ”
Zhou Xingshi was still a little hesitant: "I still want Zhang San to be the second shopkeeper after he joins the family." ”
Mrs. Zhou hated that iron could not become steel: "Qinglian married to the capital, she is the wife of the official, and she can bring Qingcheng to the capital to study in the future, Qingcheng has a future, and we can also go to the capital to enjoy Qingfu in the future." ”
What's more, Zhou Ziyu lived with his grandmother when he was a child, and the couple had met. That kid, when he was a child, was handsome and upright, and I heard that he is now a general.
In this way, the original optimistic candidate for son-in-law did not move at first, and continued to let Zhang San buy errands in his own silk shop.
As for the daughter, when the couple said this to their daughter, they didn't need to persuade them at all, Zhou Qinglian immediately agreed: "Abba, Grandma, I have long wanted to go to the capital to see the little lady of the Zhou family and Mrs. Zhou, they used to be so polite to me." ”
The most important thing is that she has seen Zhou Zimao! Although Zhang San is also good-looking, he can't compare with the Zhou family in the capital! Tuesday Lang is so handsome, and General Zhou doesn't know how good-looking Gai is!
I have to say that Zhou Xingshi can do a good job in business, and he is still very smart, he wrote a letter to Zhou Zhengyi on the front foot, and took his daughter to Chang'an City before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and lived in Zhou's mansion with Zhou Huaishu's handwritten agreement.
When Zhou Ziyu heard that his grandfather had really assigned him a marriage, he was not good. Fortunately, he usually lives in the Qin Palace, so he doesn't have to go home, otherwise he really doesn't know how to face Zhou Xingshi's father and daughter.
The Mid-Autumn Festival arrived, and he had to go home.
Zhou Qinglian is with Zhou Ziyao every day, and she has already set out a lot of information about Zhou Ziyu, and she doesn't know how beautiful it is.
At the Mid-Autumn Festival's family banquet in Zhoufu, Zhou Qinglian dressed up early and waited for Zhou Ziyu to return home.
When Zhou Ziyu appeared in the dining room of the Zhou family in civilian clothes, Zhou Qinglian's breathing almost stopped. She never knew that a general could also be as introverted as a showman.
Zhou Zhengyi introduced his son to Zhou Xingshi: "Brother Zhou, this is Ziyu." ”
Zhou Xingshi is accustomed to observing words and feelings, and immediately smiled and bowed his hand: "Zhou Xian's nephew, I have heard of the name for a long time!" ”
Zhou Ziyu politely hugged his fists in return: "Uncle Shi, little nephew salute!" ”
Looking at Zhou Qinglian again, her face was already crimson, her eyes were shining, and the corners of her mouth were smiling, so she stood up and greeted her without waiting for someone to introduce her: "Brother Zhou, Qinglian is polite!" ”
Zhou Ziyu just hugged his fists in return, and sat down in his seat without looking at each other.
Zhou Zhengyi beckoned everyone to sit down: "Today is a family banquet, and Brother Zhou is not an outsider, so let's not divide the table, and it will be more lively." Come on, all sit, all sit! ”
Zhou Qinglian sat down shyly, lowered her eyelids, and kept looking at Zhou Ziyu from the corners of her eyes.
Zhou Ziyu didn't squint, only pretended not to know.
The servant maid and the servant immediately brought the whole meal.
Some of the ingredients were brought by Zhou Xingshi from Tanzhou Mansion, and they were all loved by Zhou's wife, Zhou Ziyao.
Zhou Ziyao ate the dishes of his hometown for several days, and finally the eldest brother came back, so he hurriedly offered the treasure: "Brother, this braised pork with lotus seeds is your favorite food, try it!" We've all had several meals. ”
Zhou Zimao said with a smile: "Yaoyao, eldest brother eats delicious food in Xinglin Pavilion every day, where do you remember what braised pork." ”
"There is no braised pork in the Xinglin Pavilion!" Zhou Ziyao was not convinced, and the second brother said: "This is stewed from the freshly dried lotus seeds brought from my hometown, it is fragrant and not greasy, Jin'er can't make it." ”
Zhou Zimao laughed: "What does it matter if Jin'er doesn't know how to cook braised pork, which dish in Xinglin Pavilion is not as delicious as ours!" Jin'er's roasted cumin lamb chops, stewed mutton, the eldest brother loves to eat, you don't see the eldest brother come back to eat. ”
Mrs. Zhou sneered and pursed the corners of her mouth.
Zhou Ziyu gently kicked the second brother with his toes, and Zhou Zimao glared at Zhou Ziyao and was silent.
Zhou Zhengyi scolded softly: "How can your own food be compared with others." "Anyway, the ingredients are also brought by the guests, so I can't say that they are not as delicious as others.
Zhou Ziyu calmly sandwiched a piece of braised pork and put it in a bowl, ate it slowly, and praised: "I haven't eaten marinated meat for a long time, and it really tastes good." Uncle Zhou, thank you for your hard work. ”
Zhou Xingshi said with a smile: "It's not hard, it's not hard, it's good if the virtuous nephew likes it." ”
Zhou Qinglian took the opportunity to raise her eyes and look at Zhou Ziyu, only to feel that Zhou Dalang looked very good even when eating, and his eyes became more and more affectionate.
Zhou Ziyao, who was sitting next to her, realized that Zhou Qinglian seemed to have a crush on her eldest brother, and she kicked Zhou Zimao with her toes at a loss.
Zhou Zimao was very annoyed, her left foot was just kicked by her eldest brother, and now her right foot was stepped on by her sister again, and she didn't let people eat well! He glared back at Zhou Ziyao, and found that his sister's expression was wrong, so he pulled the corners of his mouth and sneered disdainfully: "You just know!" ”
Zhou Ziyao was inexplicably weak: "What do you know?" ”
Zhou Zimao shook his head: "Stupid! ”
This Zhou Qinglian's performance is so obvious, Yaoyao is still stupid and didn't see it, really, she is usually so shrewd and reacts so quickly, and she dares to love him, an amiable second brother!
Zhou Qinglian asked in a low voice: "Yaoyao, where is the Xinglin Pavilion?" Hospitals? ”
Zhou Ziyao shook his head and nodded again: "Xinglin Pavilion is a restaurant, but Xinglin Pavilion has recently opened another medical hall, and the medical hall is called Qianjintang." The bottle of honey grease you saw in my room was made by Qianjintang. ”
"Eat, talk and go back to your room when you're done." Zhou Zhengyi opened his mouth to stop it.
Zhou Ziyao grimaced and obediently lowered her head to eat.
Zhou Ziyu was silent, ate quickly, and put down the bowl: "Father, mother, Uncle Zhou, use it slowly." ”
Zhou Xingshi picked up his wine glass: "Virtuous nephew, Uncle Shi hasn't drunk with you yet." Come on, come on, have a drink before you go. ”
Zhou Ziyao, who was banned, raised his head and said, "My eldest brother doesn't drink, and Jin'er has forbidden him to drink for more than half a year." ”
