Chapter 46: Asking for Marriage XVIII

After the matter between Shen Yao and Qin Zhao was settled, Eighteen Niang finally breathed a sigh of relief and freed her hands to help Shen Qin prepare the dowry.

Although she hasn't said anything yet, the dowry of the noble daughters of the family usually starts to be prepared after they have hairpins, and it is already a little late.

"Sister, you don't want to patronize the embroidery dowry, do you want your eyes anymore, there will naturally be a maid to do it in the future. Hurry up and take a break and bring some pastries to your eldest brother. ”

Eighteen Niang pulled Shen Qin to stand up, she was already weak and unwinded, and she was still in the house like this, and her blood was not smooth.

Shen Qin nodded, Shen Yao went to the military department, although he was only a small official, he had a lot to learn, and he often read at night.

Rock sugar bird's nest porridge was newly stewed in the small kitchen, and the sisters went to Shen Yao with lanterns. As soon as I entered the door, I was stunned.

There are more than one person in Shen Yao's room.

"I didn't know that the eldest brother would meet today, and he came here rashly, our sister was rude." Eighteen Niang saluted everyone, and motioned to Xiping to put the porridge and snacks she brought on the table.

In this room, Zhang Wentian, the leader of Jinke, and Li Qianzhi, the tanhualang, are sitting in this room, and the three of them have the posture of talking at night.

This night, Zhang Wentian looked even darker. He put on a dark coat and sat there like a ghost......

Who knew that as soon as he saw Xiping, he stood up suddenly, "This sister, I don't know which little lady is the woman who saved my mother in the carriage that day?" ”

He said this a little abruptly, but it was very inquisitive.

Shen Qin's face was dazed.

Zhang Wentian understood, walked up to Eighteen Niang and bowed, "Thank you little lady for your help." I didn't bring that much money with me today, but I will send it to my door tomorrow. ”

As he spoke, he rubbed his sleeves with his hands, looking a little cramped, and his face was a little red, but because it was too red, he couldn't see it at all.

"Since you are a friend of the eldest brother, you don't have to be so polite. Is your mother better? ”

Zhang Wentian nodded, "It's much better." The doctor said that if it wasn't for the timely delivery to the hospital, my mother might not be saved. So my little lady has a life-saving grace for me. ”

Shen Yao and Li Qianzhi were very curious, so they asked Zhang Wentian to tell him about the events of the day.

Seeing that they were chatting happily, Eighteen Niang couldn't help but ask, "I don't know where Master Zhang is now?" ”

When Zhang Wentian heard this, he straightened his chest, "Yushitai!" This time he didn't bring down Mrs. Chaohua, Xiaosheng continued to collect evidence, and he didn't believe that he couldn't bring down this bewitching concubine of the country. ”

Li Qianzhi was a little curious, "Do you have a deep hatred between Brother Tian and Mrs. Chaohua?" ”

Zhang Wentian's face was full of surprise, "Everyone is punished by the demon queen of the disaster country, what hatred is needed?" Mrs. Chaohua is a big chu to me, just a mouse feces in the chicken soup, which stinks. She disturbed the three outlines and five constants, and she should not be punished? It's just hateful, Your Majesty is also blinded by this! ”

…… Brother, how dare you say it! But, that's a good point!

After Zhang Wentian finished speaking, he thought that there was still a woman here, so he lowered his head embarrassedly, "Xiaosheng was born in the countryside, and he spoke rudely, which startled the little lady." ”

Eighteen Niang and Shen Qin didn't want to stay long, so they took the opportunity to leave.

On the second day, this one came again, bringing not only twenty taels of silver, but also a piece of his own birthday.

Shen Yao sat on it with a dark face, and the bottom was Eighteen Niang.

Zhang Wentian wore a red robe today, like a groom official, but unfortunately he became more and more black.

"The grace of saving your life should be promised by yourself, so Brother Shen Yao, I am here today to ask to marry Eighteen Niang."

Eighteen Niang almost wanted to laugh, but when she saw the serious looks of the two men on the side, she had to hold back.

Shen Yao was about to explode, not that Zhang Wentian was not good, he was full of economy and had a good future. But who is Shen Ba Niang? This stinky boy, who is not clothed and hungry, just relies on a kindness, wants to empty gloves and take away a family girl, where is such a good thing?

What's more, this favor is still owed by him, not by others!

"Eighteen Niang is still young, and my family has no intention of choosing a son-in-law for her. Ask Brother Tian, please go back. ”

"I can wait, although my mother is anxious to hold her grandson, but if it is eighteen mothers, I am willing to wait."

"Eighteen Niang is my younger sister, I wish she had only one heart, and the white head will not be separated."

"Only you, the so-called magnates, will have three wives and four concubines. We have always had only one wife. Zhang Wentian said, glancing at Shen Yao with disdain.

Shen Yaoqing burst his muscles and wanted to hit someone.

"This marriage, pay attention to the right family, you understand?" Shen Yao almost wanted to say, you go and ask my father. Shen Ze is so powerful, how can he look down on Zhang Wentian, but he doesn't want to make this matter known to everyone and give the Wu clan a chance.

Zhang Wentian looked at Shen Yao in surprise: "I didn't expect Brother Shen to be such a snob, it can be regarded as a mistake for Xiaosheng." But if Eighteen Niang can save my mother, she is not the person who hates the poor and loves the rich, but is a kind and good person. ”

Eighteen Niang finally couldn't help it, and burst out laughing. A few days ago, she was still comparing herself with Li Ziqi, but today she was said by Zhang Wentian to be a good person.

"Big brother, let me have a few words with Master Zhang."

Shen Yao held the cup in his hand, thinking that this question was absolutely unwanted.

"Have you ever heard of the allusion that you don't eat minced meat?" Eighteen Niang touched the jade bracelet on her wrist and asked with a smile.

Since Zhang Wentian can be on the list, he naturally knows: "Emperor Jin Hui was in power and there was a famine, and the minister said that the people had nothing to eat, but Emperor Jin Hui said, then why don't you eat meat porridge?" ”

"Yes, Eighteen Niang has been clothed and fed since she was a child, and she is the same as Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, so you should understand. If you marry Eighteen Niang, and Lord Zhang eats minced meat every day, wouldn't the world want to laugh at Lord Zhang for relying on his wife and family, and he is not right, how can he be an official? If you let Eighteen Niang hold the minced meat but don't eat it, then Lord Zhang still thinks that he is repaying the favor? ”

Zhang Wentian looked at Eighteen Niang's bracelet, which was better than any he had ever seen. She wore it casually, even slamming it on the table, and she didn't feel distressed.

If he has any friendship with Eighteen Niang, it is impossible. It's just that he is alone, except for himself, there is really nothing to repay the kindness of the eighteenth mother.

"The coming day is long, Lord Zhang has a bright future, if the eighteen mothers suffer any difficulties in the future, I hope that Lord Zhang will lend a helping hand. The eighteen mothers are grateful. ”

Zhang Wentian saw that Eighteen Niang said this, and he didn't force it. still spoke: "Wait until you ask the sky to let the little lady eat minced meat every day, and then come to the door to ask for marriage." If the little lady is in trouble, Wentian will definitely help without violating the conscience of heaven and earth. ”

After speaking, he said to Shen Yao: "Brother Shen Yao, I thought you were different from those children of the family, so I intersected, but I didn't expect you to be the same." Hmph, Xiaosheng misjudged you, and the Tao is different. ”

After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and walked away.

Shen Yao smiled bitterly: "Eighteen, I'll just say a word about the right ...... How is it different from your why not eat minced meat? ”

Eighteen Niang looked at Zhang Wentian's distant figure and said with a smile: "The difference may be that you are a man and I am a woman." ”
