"Don't worry, don't worry." Hu Bingren shook the veil and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mrs. Zhao, listen to me tell you slowly, this Huang Gongzi is only thirty-one this year, naturally he has married a wife, people are so rich, where do you still need to do things, so, as long as your Xiaoli marries, wait to enjoy happiness!" ”
"My Xiaoli is only fifteen ......" Zhao Niangzi resisted her impulse, who rarely saw him an old gang in his thirties, and he didn't have any ability! According to her general's son-in-law, it is far off.
Hu Bingren cut off Zhao Niangzi's words, "Fifteen is good, it is the same age as flowers, and Huang Gongzi is a person who can hurt people, and it is rare for your Xiaoli to be rare." Moreover, if Xiaoli and Huang Gongzi really become a family, then in total, Zhao Shuren is a generation older than the county Cheng! ”
"How could Lord Xiancheng admit such a kinship?" Zhao Shuzhi also disagrees with this family business in his heart, and he can't borrow anything! It's just that it's good to think of a way not to offend Hu Bing, and the matchmaker is not good to offend, in case Huang Gongzi is asked to say a few nonsense in front of the county lord, I am afraid that I will be wearing small shoes.
But before Zhao Shuren could come up with a good way to refuse this family business, he was stunned by Hu Bingren's words.
"Who said that the county lord didn't recognize this family? The county lord specially found me and asked me to be a good matchmaker for his brother-in-law! ”
"Lord County asked you to be a matchmaker?" Scribe Zhao couldn't believe it, how could the county lord worry about the family affairs of his brother-in-law who he had never paid attention to?
"Of course, if it's not such a cold day, who wants to run blindly!" Hu Bingren shook his handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Scribe Zhao, hurry up and give me your Xiaoli's birthday eight ways, after turning around, the Huang family will send a dowry.
"A dowry gift?" Mrs. Zhao screamed, "We haven't agreed to the family affair yet, why are we going to give a dowry gift?" ”
Hu Bingren's chubby face sank, and the slightest smile was gone, and he said in a weird way: "Yo? What's wrong? Even the brother-in-law of the county lord can't look down on him, what kind of family do you want to climb? Is it possible that you still want to marry a prince general? ”
Zhao Shu's face darkened, and his heart panicked inexplicably, he just wanted to climb the general.
Zhao Niangzi listened to the matchmaker's tone, and couldn't help tugging her husband's sleeve, feeling a little bottomless.
"That, Hu Bingren laughed." Zhao Shuyi hid the anger in his heart, arched his hands in panic, and said with an uncomfortable smile: "How can Xiaoli have such blessings, we are just worried about her young age, and we are afraid that she will not serve her mother-in-law's family well." ”
"Ouch!" Hu Bingren shook his handkerchief, "There are so many subordinates of the Huang family, where do you still use her to serve!" Just be her young grandmother! ”
"Uh......" Zhao Shuren didn't know how to refuse for a while.
Mrs. Zhao was anxious, "But there are too many people at this age." ”
"Yo, it's going to hurt when you're older!" Hu Bingren looked at the Zhao couple with a smile, "Scribe Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, what is your opinion on this family business?" Hurry up and get a charter, and I'll call back to the county lord! ”
Hearing the county lord mentioned by Hu Bingren at the end, Zhao Shuren's refusal was swallowed back into his stomach.
"That, let's discuss ...... again" Zhao Niangzi wanted to send Hu Bingren away first, but was intercepted by Zhao Shuren.
"What are you talking about, mother-in-law? Even if you are a relative to the county lord, where do you need to discuss? ”
"Huh?" Zhao Niangzi was a little confused, why did her man suddenly change his mind?
After sending away Hu Bingren, who was holding Xiaoli's eight characters, Zhao Niangzi complained to him a little angrily, "Why did you agree to her?" Didn't you cheat our daughter? ”
Zhao Shuren glared at her fiercely, "If you don't promise her, you will trap me!" Pointing at the mother and daughter who were a little dazed with his hand, "Tell me about the two of you, I gave you so much money, you bought a bunch of fat powder clothes and jewelry and came back, but the didn't work out, but you recruited a Huang Gongzi!" If I don't agree, if I don't agree, won't I refute the face of the county Cheng, can I still mix in the county office? ”
"It's the brother-in-law of the county Cheng, and it's not the county Cheng, besides, it's just the brother of a concubine, what's the big deal." Zhao Niangzi was still a little unconvinced.
Zhao Shuyi hated that iron could not become steel, and scolded the 'stupid woman' twice, "The county lord can not take this brother-in-law in his eyes, but if you don't put this Huang Gongzi in your eyes, then you don't put the county lord in your eyes, and then there will be your good fruit to eat!" ”
"Then, then really marry Xiaoli to that Huang Gongzi?" Zhao Niangzi looked at the small courtyard of Gongxi's house through the courtyard wall, and her eyes flashed with deep unwillingness.
"Stop it, don't think about those who don't have it, in case the Gongxi guards mess up over there, and offend Huang Gongzi here, our family can't tell when we will lose our lives!" Zhao Shuzhi saw his mother's thoughts, and he was afraid that he was still worried about being the general's mother-in-law! I couldn't help but warn aloud.
Zhao Niangzi lowered her head and sighed, is she really not so dead?
Xiaoli twisted her handkerchief on the side, a little curious and a little longing, she was about to marry Huang Gongzi, what kind of person is he? Is there a handsome person who cares for health in the west?
A few days later, the Huang family really sent a dowry of twenty lifts, those gold, silver jewelry, and colorful satin were anxious to make other people in the alley envious, and also made Zhao Niangzi have a good time.
Hua Ronghua heard that it was very lively outside, so he came out to see the excitement and asked the cow girl beside him, "What's wrong?" ”
Niu Ya stuffed the candy she had just snatched back into her mouth and said, "Someone gave a dowry gift to Xiaoli of Zhao Niangzi's family!" A lot of boxes, a lot of people! Oh, this sugar is delicious, ma'am, either? ”
Hua Ronghua looked at the half of the maltose she pulled out of her mouth and felt a chill, and hurriedly shook her head, "I don't want it!" ”
"Oh." Niu Ya stuffed the sugar back into her mouth, puffed her mouth, and said inarticulately: "This Huang Gongzi is so generous, even people who go to see the excitement give candy!" ”
"What Huang Gongzi?" Hua Ronghua was confused.
"It's the one who proposes to Xiaoli!"
"Huh?" Hua Ronghua blurted out in surprise, "Why is Huang Gongzi?" ”
As soon as the words came out, she couldn't help covering her mouth and looked around carefully, but fortunately, there was no one else except Niu Ya, and she couldn't help complaining in her heart, what is this Gong Xichu doing! Is it more than enough to say that it is good?
Niu Ya didn't know what Hua Ronghua was thinking, but looked at her puzzled, "It's Huang Gongzi, I heard that he is still the brother-in-law of the county Cheng!" The other ladies in the alley all said that Mrs. Zhao can be regarded as a good parent! ”
County Cheng's brother-in-law? Hua Ronghua didn't have the heart to watch the excitement anymore, so he ran back to the house to find Gong Xichu.
Gong Xichu raised his eyes to look at Hua Ronghua, who was frowning, and raised his eyebrows, "Are you questioning me?" ”
Belch...... She just wanted to ask, to know why!
"I worked hard to help you do things, but in the end, I didn't say a word of thanks, but I was asked!" Gong Xichu's face was expressionless, as if he was heartbroken.
"No, I'm not ......" Hua Ronghua was a little panicked, and just wanted to explain, but was intercepted again.
"You are always afraid of hurting others, so if Zhao Niangzi says that I must accept her daughter, otherwise it will hurt her, will you let me accept it too?"
"Of course not!" Hua Ronghua was in a hurry, could it be that Mrs. Zhao said something to Gong Xichu behind her back?
Seeing that she was really anxious, Gongxi Chu eased his tone, "Besides, it is the brother-in-law of the county who proposes marriage, the family property is rich, and the person is in the prime of life, the Zhao family and the husband and wife have no reason to disagree, they have to marry a poor catcher!" ”
"Well, yes, we didn't force her to marry anyway." Where does Hua Ronghua care about Xiaoli now, she just thinks that she must not let her man get involved with her.
Seeing Hua Ronghua's attitude, Gongxi Chu finally nodded with satisfaction, and took her in his arms, "Don't think about everything for others in the future, what you think may not be what others want, you know?" ”
"Got it." Hua Ronghua nodded obediently, he wanted to ask how that Huang Gongzi was, he was afraid that Gong Xichu would be angry again, and he only comforted himself that Gong Xichu would not know the person who was too unpresentable. However, later, she still asked Niu Ya to inquire, and she was relieved to hear that Huang Gongzi was not missing arms or legs, and he was not seventy or eighty.
Gongxi Chu didn't care about her small actions when he knew about it, but ordered someone to pack up the things he was going to bring back to the capital, so he took Hua Ronghua to the county government to bid farewell to Li Wenhao.
"I still want to wait for my term to expire next year, whether I will ask someone to transfer to the capital, and then you can go back with you, but I didn't expect you to return to Beijing before me." Li Wenhao teased with a bit of sourness.
"You can also go back to Beijing as my retinue." Gong Xichu glanced at him with a smile.
"Hmph, if I go back to Beijing like this, my father will have to punish me for copying books for three years!" Li Wenhao listened to the whispering behind the screen as he spoke, and asked with some curiosity: "I didn't expect your wife to be so talkative?!" ”
Gong Xichu was also a little curious, remembering that he was so impatient when he came to Hua Ronghua last time, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth after listening for a while, what he said was about children, no wonder this woman listened to it with such relish, and it didn't seem to be Yu's talking to Hua Ronghua.
It was Yu's nurse who said how to raise a child and take care of the child, Yu's had already drunk two bowls of tea, but Hua Ronghua still had one problem after another, and in the end, the nurse's forehead was already sweating, and she cautiously glanced at the somewhat impatient master, and apologized to Hua Ronghua: "The slave and maid still have something to do when they go down, Mrs. Gongxi, you sit first." ”
"Oh, you're busy, you're busy!" Hua Ronghua smiled wryly.
Yu's nurse paused, seeing that Hua Ronghua didn't mean to reward herself, she couldn't help but retreat in disappointment, and the corners of Yu's mouth sneered imperceptibly.
On the way back, Gongxi Chu said to Hua Ronghua: "When I arrived in the capital, I directly invited the nurse, and they all knew how to take the child at that time!" "You don't have to ask people so much.
Who knows, Hua Ronghua glared at him, "How can this work?" How can a child be handed over to someone else? I'm going to bring my own! ”
"How can anyone take care of their own children?" Gong Xichu frowned, which of those young ladies from big families was not brought up by the nurse?
"What should I do if the nurse takes the child, and the child and the nurse don't kiss me?"
