Chapter 44: Marrying a Daughter
After Chu Liuyan's explanation, Ma Xiuying's illness finally got better. She was still a little embarrassed, but she could eat, and her face was a little bright.
When Chen saw it, she was very displeased, she was originally waiting for Ma Xiuying's life, who would have thought that not only was she not dead, but the situation was getting better and better. She was very unhappy in her heart, and began to think of ways to torture Ma Xiuying again.
For some reason, the Chen family looked at Zhu Chongba very unpleasantly, and always felt that this person deliberately showed himself everywhere and stole the limelight from his son Guo Tianxu in front of Guo Zixing. Chen calculated and calculated, and finally came up with a way to calculate Ma Xiuying, of course, by the way, he also calculated Zhu Chongba.
On this day, Chen accompanied Guo Zixing to dinner, coaxing Guo Zixing very happy, she took the opportunity to say: "Marshal, there is something in the slave family, I have always wanted to discuss with the marshal, I don't know if the marshal is willing to listen." On weekdays, Chen calls Guo Zixing, either a "dead old man" or a "dead old thief", it is rare to call him a marshal, Guo Zixing is angry, and said: "Madame, there is something to do, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, we are husband and wife, and there is nothing that cannot be said." ”
Chen took the opportunity to speak: "Marshal, the slave family is worried about Xiuying. Although Xiuying is not my biological daughter, she has also been under the marshal's knees for so long, and now she has been ill for a long time, and the slave family is a godmother, not to mention how sad it is. Xiuying's illness is mostly related to my son Hui'er, which makes the slave family even more uncomfortable. Those who know know that it is the children's own decision, but those who don't know think that it is my godmother's ruthlessness to abuse my own goddaughter. Marshal ......" Chen said, squeezing out a few tears.
Guo Zixing listened to Chen's words, and he felt a little sad in his heart. Before the three of the Chen family came, he had always been good to Ma Xiuying, but now that Ma Xiuying has been sick for so long, he didn't go to see it, and he felt a little unhappy when he thought about it, and when he thought about his old friend Ma Xiong, he felt even more guilty.
He immediately said: "Xiuying, my son is really pitiful, I will definitely compensate her." ”
When Chen heard these words, he didn't mention how unhappy he was. She forcibly held back all the unhappiness in her heart and said to Guo Zixing: "Marshal, according to the view of the slave family, for the sake of today, what we can do for Xiuying is to let her recover quickly." I suspect that Xiuying's illness is not a disease, but an evil spirit. Marshal, do you remember the custom of our hometown 'Chongxi'? Why don't we do a happy event and rejoice in the hope of driving away evil spirits? ”
"Chongxi?" Guo Zixing glanced at Chen and said, "Madam, you said so much, just to make me agree to Lan Yu and Hui'er's family affairs, but now Lan Yu really doesn't have any merit, if he marries Hui'er so early, wouldn't it be too wronged Hui'er....."
Chen's eyes widened, and he said loudly: "I said marshal, the slave family is not a person who only plans for his own daughter. Besides, this Xiuying is also my daughter and Hui'er's eldest sister, if you want to get married, you have to marry Xiuying first. ”
"Marry Xiuying? Which one to marry? Guo Zixing was stunned and said, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Chen's gourd.
Chen's interface said: "I looked and looked, looked and looked, and I chose and picked, and finally I found a good person who could teach Xiuying to be entrusted for life." I believe that this person is also the marshal's favorite. ”
"Oh? Who is that? Guo Zixing asked.
"This person, far away in the sky, close in front of him, is the marshal's personal guard Zhu Chongba. Zhu Chongba is a person with an upright temperament, what to say, and he is not as reckless as Chang Yuchun, nor as arrogant as Xu Da, compared to Niu Er and Chen San, I don't know how much better. Zhu Chongba is young and strong, and he has never married a wife, so if he marries Xiuying to him, maybe he will be so happy, and Xiuying's soldiers will be better. Chen said with a smile on his face.
"Zhu Chongba?" Guo Zixing has never had a good impression of this Zhu Chongba, but it is better than Lan Yu. It's just that in any case, it seems a little unreasonable to let him marry his daughter to a small guard. He couldn't refute Madame directly, so he pushed and said, "Madam, this kind of thing can't be in a hurry anyway, I think it's better for me to think about it before making a decision." ”
"What else do you want?" Chen's face immediately changed: "Dead old man, what are you thinking in your heart?" Do you know what people out there are saying right now? People outside say that you have delayed marrying Ma Xiuying because you, a dead old thief, have taken a fancy to her and want to turn your goddaughter into a lady, is it true that as people outside say, you are not dead in lust? ”
Chen's words were all made up by her temporarily, and the reason why she said this was just to force Guo Zixing to comply. Guo Zixing has always been a person who wants to save face, and if he is known, then talking about him will really teach him a little more uncomfortable than putting a knife on his neck. Sure enough, he suddenly got up and said angrily: "Grandma, who is spreading rumors?" Lao Tzu was the first to cut him. ”
Chen didn't show weakness at all, slapped the table hard, stood up, and yelled at Guo Zixing: "What are you fierce about the old lady?" Could it be that you are going to cut the old lady? The old lady also listened to what outsiders said, and others didn't dare to tell you, the old lady can't hide it. In short, today's matter, you have to promise, you have to promise, you have to agree, anyway, I have already decided, you can do it yourself. ”
Guo Zixing was originally dragged, but when his wife yelled at him like this, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound. He said weakly: "Madame is right, it's also a good thing to let Xiuying marry early." But you don't have to marry Zhu Chongba, there are people in my army who are hundreds of times better than Zhu Chongba, or let's find a new in-law for Xiuying. ”
Chen had already decided that Zhu Chongba's nest was incompetent, at most he was a gangster's material, and she insisted: "What's wrong with Zhu Chongba?" No matter how bad he is, he is also a person that the marshal can trust, otherwise how could the marshal keep him by his side as a personal soldier? Besides, no glory is given by the marshal. It's better to be promoted to Zhu Chongba's official by marshal, and then let Xiuying marry him. In this way, Zhu Chongba will definitely be grateful to the marshal and serve the marshal desperately. I think Zhu Chongba will be a ninth master. What does the marshal think? ”
Guo Zixing picked up the wine glass, took a sullen sip, and said unhappily: "Since Madame has decided, come and discuss something with me." ”
"Well, since the marshal has no objections, then let's do so." A sneer appeared at the corner of Chen's mouth: Ma Xiuying, Ma Xiuying, I see how long you can be proud.
