Chapter 238: Resignation
Chen laughed, Mao Chengyun said a good thing. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't consider marriage for the time being on the grounds that Mingxuan was still in the capital to take the exam, and the people who proposed her relatives would not say that there were enough to break the threshold of the family, then there would be more than a dozen!
"Master, in fact, I have a favorite candidate in my heart." Chan said.
"Oh, which girl does Madame have a crush on?" Mao carried the interest.
Mao Mingxuan is his only son, and now he has a bright future, and he also attaches great importance to choosing a daughter-in-law for Mao Mingxuan. Not to mention that he has to be a wealthy family, but at least he has a good character and character, so that his son can have no worries.
"What does the master think, how is Zhao Furong, the girl of the Zhao Shoubei family?" Chan said.
"Fleur!" Mao's eyes lit up, "Okay! This girl is filial and straightforward, the key is that she has a good relationship with Tongtong and likes you. If you really enter the door, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and sister-in-law is not good. ”
"I think so, I don't know if Ming Xuan likes it or not." Chan said.
"Marriage matters are naturally our decision!" Mao raised his eyebrows.
"That also depends on Mingxuan's own mind! In case he has another girl he likes, let's force Fleur into the door, wouldn't that hurt the two children! Chen disagreed.
Mao Chengyun laughed and said, "Madam, this is too much to think about!" Where did Ming Xuan come into contact with any woman. He is all about learning, but I'm afraid he hasn't learned anything about it yet! ”
Chen was stunned, and he laughed himself, and said, "What the master said makes sense. Left and right Mingxuan still has to come back for a while, and this matter is not in a hurry. If the Zhao family also had this thought, they would not panic to marry Furong. Don't worry, sir, I know it in my heart. ”
"Hmm." Mao Chengyun nodded and said, "Now it depends on what Mingxuan's first step into officialdom will be to be an official." ”
"I'm afraid that only those who have a way will have a good chance." The smile on Chen's face faded.
Although the third brother is a Beijing official, he can't help much. People who don't have a backstage want to mix in officialdom, in addition to their own abilities, there are opportunities.
"It depends on Mingxuan's creation, it's useless for us to think more." Mao said: "Madame, relax, I always feel that Long Live Lord will give Ming Xuan a chance." ”
Chen smiled and said, "I can only think like this." ”
In Beijing, Mao Mingxuan bought the specialties he wanted to take home, and he was ready to leave Uncle Chen's family.
"Mingxuan, are you sure you don't take the waterway?" Uncle Chen asked. He originally planned to rent a boat for Mao Mingxuan.
"Uncle, I want to go home early." Mao Mingxuan said. It was the first time he had been away from home for so long. When I take office, I'm afraid I won't be able to go home for three years. So he wanted to spend more time at home before he took office.
"Well, it's better to go back sooner. You Ama and E-Niang must miss you too. Uncle Chen didn't insist.
"Thank you for taking care of your uncle and aunt for most of the past half a year, Mingxuan is really grateful." Mao Mingxuan said.
"It's boring to talk too much." Uncle Chen pretended to be angry and said, "You are my own nephew, but you just came to stay, what is there to thank you for." ”
Mao Mingxuan laughed and said, "Okay, I'm not polite to my uncle." ”
"That's right! Let's have another drink tonight. When you're gone tomorrow, I really can't find such a good drinking buddy! Uncle Chen smiled and patted Mao Mingxuan's shoulder.
He didn't expect Mao Mingxuan to be a scholar, but the amount of alcohol was not bad. Drink with your colleagues and have to be wary of talking. There are not too many restrictions with Mao Mingxuan, but they can have a good chat!
For most of the past six months, he was really used to Mao Mingxuan living in the mansion. Now thinking that Mao Mingxuan is leaving, I am really reluctant.
"Okay, then I'll accompany my uncle to have a good drink tonight!" Mao Mingxuan said with a smile.
Although the Su family didn't like Mao Mingxuan to only be a county magistrate, they were afraid that if the Chen family agreed to this family business, Mao Mingxuan would still have to be her son-in-law, so he still prepared dinner so that Mao Mingxuan could leave a good impression on the last night.
Chen Ruzhu was naturally at the table that day, and the family saw Mao Mingxuan off.
She watched Mao Mingxuan and Uncle Chen drink happily, but a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
Now Mao Mingxuan is leaving, but the relationship between the two has not yet been decided. She didn't know this difference, and whether she would have the opportunity to meet in the future.
Thinking like this, she looked at Mao Mingxuan more and more frequently.
Mao Mingxuan, who was sitting opposite Chen Ruzhu, naturally noticed it. But he pretended not to see. Since you have never thought of saying yes, why give people hope.
He knew that if the Su family really had this plan, he would definitely write to his mother. But he also believes that with Eniang's understanding of the Su family, it is unlikely that he will agree to this family business.
Chen Ruzhu saw that Mao Mingxuan didn't look at him from beginning to end, and her heart became more and more sad, so she even poured herself a glass of wine and drank it.
"Ahem!" Chen Ruzhu was choked by the spicy taste of the wine, and tears were about to flow out.
Uncle Chen couldn't help but smile when he saw her blushing face: "Zhu'er, this wine is not something you can drink!" You still drink fruit bars. ”
Su Shi frowned slightly, and said, "Don't look at your Ama and your cousin drinking vigorously, you just want to taste what it tastes like." This wine is not something that my daughter's family can drink! ”
Mao Mingxuan glanced at Chen Ruzhu at this time. And Chen Ruzhu also happened to look at Mao Mingxuan. The two looked at each other, and Chen Ruzhu hurriedly lowered her eyes, and her face became more and more red.
Uncle Chen was already slightly drunk and didn't notice his daughter's abnormality at all, but Su Shi saw that something was wrong, and said, "I see that Zhu'er is not strong enough to drink, so let's go back to the room and rest first." ”
"Okay, you and Zhu'er will go back to rest first, and I'll have a drink with Mingxuan for a while." Uncle Chen didn't care.
Chen Ruzhu actually didn't want to leave, but when she saw the sharp eyes swept over by Su, she still obediently got up and said goodbye.
On this day, Mao Mingxuan accompanied Uncle Chen to drink until late before returning to the room to rest. But the next day, he got up early in the morning.
The thought of going home soon makes me feel different, and I feel refreshed.
Uncle Chen couldn't get up because of a hangover, so it was Mao Mingxuan who was sent by Su and Chen Ruzhu.
"Be careful on the road, let someone carry a letter when you arrive, and your uncle and I can rest assured." Su Shi smiled.
"Well, aunt and cousin go back. The morning was cold. Mao Mingxuan said.
Chen Ruzhu pursed her lips and looked at Mao Mingxuan, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Cousin, have a good journey." ”
Mao Mingxuan arched his hand at the two, turned over on the horse, and set off with the little tiger.
Chen Ruzhu had been standing at the door until she couldn't see Mao Mingxuan's figure, and Su Shi called her, and then she woke up.
"Your aunt should have received the letter. If it doesn't work out, it won't take half a month to know the news, so you can wait patiently. Su said to Chen Ruzhu.
