Chapter 519: The Cannon Fodder Cousin of the Male Protagonist of the Imperial Examination (42) (Add more to Nine Heartless~)
After Sikong had rested enough, he took his leave and left, saying that he was looking for his master.
The old guy didn't know where to hide and drink, not because he was afraid that something would happen to the old guy, but at present, except for him, no one is the opponent of the Thousand Machines Pavilion.
What he was afraid of was that the old guy drank too much, pulled people to brag, and after bragging, he liked to listen to people's praise, and he was happy to be praised, and he was so carried away that he allowed a bunch of favors, and in the end, he had to come forward as an apprentice to pay it back. Tired.
When Xu Yin saw him leave, she was both relieved and a little melancholy.
But if he is really "him", then there will definitely be a time to see each other again in the future, so I simply don't bother about it.
She called the housekeeper and explained to him the real reason why her father and mother were killed.
When the old butler heard this, he was shocked and angry.
He went to sweep the grave of the old lady, and once wanted to die in front of the old lady's tomb and use his old life to apologize. It's just that I think that there is a girl in the house, if he goes, Kui'er will go back to her biological parents, and there is not even a trustworthy errand runner around the girl, how can she rest assured.
So he secretly swore in front of the grave of the old lady: leave him an old life, protect the girl for the rest of his life, never let the girl have any more accidents, and never let the Xu Mansion have any more accidents.
Unexpectedly, the death of the lord and the lady had nothing to do with Kui'er.
"It was only because the business of Qizhen Pavilion was prosperous, and it was suspected that the head of the Xu family was the doorman of the Rui Wangfu and was making money for the Rui Wangfu, so he hired people from the rivers and lakes to kill the lord and the lady? How can there be such a vicious person in this world? Or the emperor...... What about the previous emperors! Fortunately, he died, and if he didn't die, the old slave wanted to hire a knight to assassinate him! ”
...... "You're right!
After saying this, the old butler's heart froze and he cheered up again.
"Girl, the old slave has been out for a long time, and I have to go back, otherwise those boys and girls, seeing that no one cares, will start to be lazy again."
Xu Yin thought for a while and said, "I'll go back with you!" Anyway, the two of us have already come up with a charter, whoever comes to the door to propose marriage, first ask if you are willing to join, if you are not willing to talk, you are willing to ...... I'll have to meet people and investigate them for a while. In short, those with poor character, low emotional intelligence, ugly looks, and no ability are all wanted. ”
The housekeeper was a little dizzy: "...... "Can you still find it?"
However, he has confidence in his girl, the girl has both good looks and outstanding talents, and the son-in-law naturally wants to recruit those who are as good as her. If this is done, will it not be flowers stuck in cow dung?
After returning home, the housekeeper took the girl's words and sent the matchmakers who came to the door.
"What? Miss Xu wants to recruit money? ”
"Do you still ask for so much?"
Several matchmakers looked at each other.
It seems that the Xu Mansion is clearly rejecting them.
Then I'm afraid that this family matter will not be able to be discussed.
So I went back and told my respective employers the truth.
Several other families heard that Xu Mansion was preparing to recruit money, except for regret that they could not marry Xu Yin, a cornucopia, but they had no other ideas, after all, Xu Mansion was only Xu Yin as a master, and she was a girl, so she had some expectations before she came, and she was afraid that she would be recruited.
The reason why he still sent a matchmaker to propose marriage was simply to try his luck. What if it happens, isn't the huge Xu Mansion its own? If you don't hit the big luck, you can only give up.
Only the Lu Mansion and the Liang Mansion probably feel that they are right with the Xu Mansion, and they are willing to find a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage, which is enough to give the Xu Mansion face, otherwise an orphan girl is not bullying how she wants. They made enough face, but Xu Fu refused with such a reason, didn't they give face to shame?
The two families were angry, so they spent money to hire a group of mothers-in-law who were the best at splashing and rolling, and gathered at the gate of Xu's mansion to scold the street, and the scolding was ugly.
When the housekeeper heard Xu Xing's passing, he was so angry that he came out to pick people up.
The mother-in-law received the money, and naturally refused to leave if they didn't do what the employer had to do, so what if they wanted to get the money back?
So he simply sprinkled on the ground, and said all kinds of filthy words in his mouth.
The old housekeeper was angry and anxious, worried that it would be detrimental to the girl's reputation after it spread, so he explained to the onlookers who ate melons:
"These shrews who came from nowhere slandered my girl. My girl has been filial piety for the old lady for three years, just out of filial piety at the beginning of this year, and has not considered lifelong events, these people open and close their mouths and say that my girl has a good relationship, which is too deceitful! ”
These mothers-in-law shouted: "Don't listen to him, he is a subordinate of the Xu Mansion, so he naturally speaks good things for the Xu Mansion." If it's really not good, why did the matchmaker send people away as soon as they came to the door? Those who came to propose marriage came with good intentions and sincerity. ”
The housekeeper glared at them and said to the onlookers: "Don't hide it from you, now there is only one girl in the house, and the girl decided to recruit a family to support the court, and none of those families who came to propose marriage were willing to join the family, how can I blame my girl?" ”
Onlookers nodded their heads:
"That's right! Miss Xu is left with a master in the Xu Mansion, if she gets married, there will be no master in the future Mansion and she will not be the same! Could it be that the ancestral family business and incense were cut off like this? ”
"If I change me, I'll also be redundant. Why do you want to marry your in-laws when you have money? How many good mothers-in-law are there in the world? are all bad mothers-in-law who have been daughters-in-law for 30 years, and they think about their daughters-in-law all day long. ”
"That's it! Isn't it good to recruit a son-in-law and be your own master? ”
Seeing that the onlookers were speaking for Xu Fu on the one hand, several hired mothers-in-law saw that the situation was wrong, so they patted their thighs and shouted:
"Nonsense! How could no one be willing to be a son-in-law for Xu Fu? But ask this old horseman, is that what he said to the matchmaker? He also made a number of requests that no one could do. ”
Passers-by asked the housekeeper what else he wanted.
The housekeeper puffed up his chest proudly: "My girl is blue-hearted, talented, and unparalleled, what's wrong with making a few redundant requests?" The girl is kind-hearted and naturally requires the other party to have a good character; The girl is both talented and beautiful, and naturally requires the other party to be illiterate even if she is not a talent, and she cannot be too ugly even if she is not a handsome child; The girl inherited the ancestral industry on her own, so she naturally didn't want to find a prodigal son who had no ability and ate her family's wealth. Just because the Lord who hired you here can't do these things, it doesn't mean that there are no good men in this world who can do it! ”
"Well said!"
A drunken white-haired old man squeezed out of the crowd, holding a large wine gourd in his arms, and gave a thumbs up to the butler,
"There are many young and promising, handsome and chic sons in this world, and there is one under the old man's knees, come and come! The old man named my apprentice who was in the wind and strong in martial arts. ”
The housekeeper couldn't cry or laugh: "Big brother, are you drunk?" Our house is recruiting sons-in-law, not nursing homes. ”
"Hey! It's all the same, it's all the same. The old man burped and had to sign up for his apprentice to be the son-in-law of Xu's house.
