Chapter 43: Courtship
The mother and son on the left side were talking privately, and Chu Mufeng and Chu Tiankuo from the right house over there asked Uncle Tang to go to the restaurant on Feng'an Street to order a table of noodles, open a jar of wine, and eat and drink slowly at home.
The two of them had been drinking slowly, and they drank so slowly until it was dark at night, and Chu Mufeng suddenly stopped.
"No, I have to go to Sister Jiang and say." After speaking, without waiting for Chu Tiankuo to stop him, he ran to Jiang Zhixia's house and knocked on the door. Chu Tiankuo was helplessly a step late and followed to Zhixia's house.
After entering the conference living room, Chu Mufeng asked Aunt Zhang to call Jiang Zhixia and said that she had something to say to Zhixia.
Jiang Zhixia hurried to the conference living room from the backyard, and saw that it was Chu Mufeng who was very strange, didn't he leave her house in the morning? Why did you come back at night?
"Sister Jiang, you ask Uncle He and Aunt Zhang to step down, I have something to tell you alone." Chu Mufeng's face was a little red, probably because of the smell of wine.
Jiang Zhixia was helpless, but she had known Chu Mufeng for a long time, and she was not afraid that Chu Mufeng would be unfavorable to her, so she interrupted Uncle He, who opened his mouth to speak, and asked them all to retreat.
"Sister Jiang, I thought about it, should I marry you?" Chu Mufeng didn't open his mouth, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he stunned Jiang Zhixia.
"Brother Chu, what do you mean by this?" Jiang Zhixia is really confused.
When Chu Mufeng said that in the morning, it was probably a whining in a hurry, so as to prove that Wei Xiucai was not very good, why did he suddenly say so now?
"Why did Brother Chu go home and drink a meal of wine and talk nonsense?" Jiang Zhixia said with a smile and a smile.
"I'm not talking nonsense. If I marry you, you don't have to marry Wei Xiucai, and you don't have to worry about how to refuse their family. Chu Mufeng, whose face was still red, said, I don't know if the face was drunk or shy.
Jiang Zhixia was moved and helpless.
Chu Mufeng is really a good person who is anxious for justice and righteousness!
In order to help her, he actually had to sacrifice his whole life to marry her.
"Thank you, Brother Chu, you are such a good person," Jiang Zhixia said movingly, "However, just because you are a good person, I can't delay your life like this." So, thank you, but no more. β
Chu Mufeng heard Jiang Zhixia's refusal and knew that she had misunderstood, so he hurriedly said, "I'm not just here to help you. I, I'm twenty-four. Two years older than you, it was time to get married. In the past few years, I have been fighting in the army, and no one has no time to give me Zhang Luo's personal affairs. I'm a rough man, and some people say that I'm a martial artist. However, you've been in contact with me for a while, and you've understood, I, I'm not bad... I don't gamble, I don't go to Qinglou, I don't spend money indiscriminately, I usually drink alcohol. I've told you about my family before. I am Uncle Chu, who fled from the village after both my parents died, started as a small soldier in the Zhenwei Army, and now I am a school captain. Although the official position is not large, there is a fixed salary every month, which is definitely more than Xiucai's silver grain. When we were out fighting, we would also collect a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry. Although most of the heads are coaches and generals, people of our grade can also get more or less points. I'm also a small family business. I have a house in a border city and a few hundred acres of land. Because I only came to the capital two years ago, I didn't have much time to come out of the army, so I only bought this small house, but there is still a 100-acre Zhuangzi outside the capital. That Zhuangzi is seventy or eighty miles away from the capitalγγγγγγ β
Chu Mufeng didn't wait for Zhixia to stop him, so he introduced his situation and the situation of his family property in a casual manner, because he was in a hurry, so he said a little incoherently.
After saying this, when he was about to continue speaking, he was hurriedly stopped by Jiang Zhixia, who was listening to the big head. "Stop, stop, Brother Chu, don't talk about that."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Zhixia held his forehead in distress.
What's going on, so suddenly, the left neighbor invited a matchmaker to kiss, and the right neighbor came directly to ask for a kiss.
If she doesn't handle these courtships well, can she still live in this alley? It's all neighbors who don't look up and don't look down, are they planning to gang up to embarrass her?
Chu Mufeng was stopped by Jiang Zhixia, so he really stopped saying nothing. It's just that he looked at Zhixia with bright eyes, as if waiting for Zhixia to reply.
The air was so quiet that there wasn't even a hint of wind.
Jiang Zhixia was very distressed, but had to face it. She pondered the words, thought about it, and then said solemnly, "Then let me ask Brother Chu a few questions, and Brother Chu will think carefully and answer me."
"Nature." Chu Mufeng saw that Jiang Zhixia was so formal, and he also straightened his face.
"Why does Brother Chu want to marry me?" Jiang Zhixia is not a pure ancient person after all, so such a question will not be asked shyly and unable to open his mouth and unable to speak like ancient people.
What's more, the question she asked was not asked to her beloved.
"Is it because Brother Chu has seen fewer girls?" Jiang Zhixia asked in confusion.
When Chu Mufeng heard this question, he was much more shy than Jiang Zhixia.
Although shy, Chu Mufeng still lowered his head and thought about it seriously.
Then, he replied, "Of course not." It's because Sister Jiang is good-looking. Good character. People are gentle, easy-going, and crisp, not like ordinary women. will not dislike our martial artists for being vulgar and uncivilized, and looking down on us. Also, I get along well with children. Also, the cooking is delicious. I can also read a lot of books, and I am very talented and learned. β
Chu Mufeng replied very sincerely, and did not praise her for being gentle, virtuous, and dignified like the official language, but really listed Jiang Zhixia's advantages one by one.
Jiang Zhixia was very moved.
This is the first time that someone has not proposed marriage because she knows the rules and etiquette, nor has someone chosen her after many comparisons, but really sees her advantages in her eyes and can list them.
Jiang Zhixia said softly with emotion: "I thank Brother Chu for his praise and sincerity to me. β
After speaking, he gave a palace salute heavily.
Chu Mufeng was so panicked that he was at a loss, and he didn't know whether to help or not?
"I didn't expect Brother Chu to praise me so highly." Jiang Zhixia said softly.
Chu Mufeng's honesty deserves her gentle treatment.
"Then the following question, Brother Chu must think about it carefully and answer me." Jiang Zhixia nodded when he saw Chu Mufeng, so he asked softly, "Then when Brother Chu was in the barracks, did he think of me from time to time?" Want to see me all the time? See something delicious and want to buy it for me? See beautiful jewelry and want to buy it for me to wear? You see a beautiful flower and want to pick it for me? Afraid I'll be cold, I'll be hungry, I'll be unhappy, I'll be sad? β
This time, Chu Mufeng was stunned.
Because, he really didn't.
Although, when he goes home from Xiu, he will come to Zhixia to visit the door and chat for a while. But after returning to the barracks, he really didn't think about Zhixia all the time.
Jiang Zhixia looked at Chu Mufeng's expression and knew that there was no need to wait for him to answer.
However, Jiang Zhixia's expression couldn't help but relax. You know, she is really worried that Chu Mufeng will have feelings for her, after all, she has no feelings for Chu Mufeng.
