Chapter 52: Asking for Marriage
Wen Zhu got up in the morning, hurriedly set up a meal for a few younger sisters, boiled the soup, stared at the twins with coaxing, and was already sweating, so he went to wash again, changed into a navy blue brocade dress, put on a light blue gauze hat, and went to the article study.
On the way, she was stopped by Wen Fu's family, she looked panicked, regardless of the difference between master and servant, grabbed Wen Zhu's hand and said, "Miss, someone is here." β
Wen Zhu smiled lightly, quietly withdrew her hand, and said lightly: "It's okay, even if Xu Qiyuan invites the left and right ministers to be matchmakers at the same time, my father will not marry the fourth sister to him." β
Wen Fujia lost his eyes this time, and grabbed Wen Zhu's hand again, Wen Zhu frowned slightly, and Wen Fujia said anxiously: "It's for Miss to propose." β
Wen Zhu was shocked, her face was as ugly as no salt, since the Qixi banquet was widely spread in the homes of large families in Beijing, the second sister also told it in front of jokes, but she was told not to clarify the rumors, there were people who were not afraid of this against the current, and then thought that she was so ugly, the family who proposed marriage did not mind, she must be running for the dowry, so it is not a problem.
He withdrew his hand, strode leisurely, and asked as he walked, "Who proposed, what does Daddy mean?" β
Seeing Wen Zhu's calm and calm appearance, the Wen rich family also had the backbone, and replied in a very orderly manner: "The man said that the family has some fields, his parents are alive, and his brother inherits the door, he has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he is indifferent to fame and fortune by nature. β
Wen Zhu's heart sank when he heard this, what is the origin of this person, he is the perfect son-in-law candidate in the heart of the article. The article resents the pedantic master precisely because he has no ink on his chest and is jealous; As a businessman, chasing fame and fortune, he always has a three-point yearning for a high-quality gentleman. And the person who came to propose marriage is both talented and not famous, and Bo has a family property and does not need to serve his in-laws, which really hits the weakness of the article.
Wen Zhu couldn't help but speed up the pace of his steps, and Wen Fujia followed, and said: "That person has such a big pomp, and the three matchmakers in Beijing were invited by him together." β
When I arrived at the door of the Dehua Hall, there was an article laughing, and said: "So it's decided, after a few days, choose an auspicious day for the zodiac, and call your family to come to the next job." β
Wen Zhu was startled, he couldn't care about much, kicked the door open, but saw a man in a purple scholar's robe sitting with his back to the door, smelling the sound, turning his head, his eyebrows were extremely delicate, with a thick bookish atmosphere, seeing her, he smiled, like spring light sprinkled into the lake, swinging a bay of tender green, refreshing people's hearts.
Luo ......
Looking at each other, Luo's face flushed, thinking that the woman of his dreams was going to look good, and he couldn't help but have a little desire in his eyes when he looked at Wen Zhu.
The naked desire in Luo's eyes startled Wen Zhu, and he quickly looked away, and said in his heart: What you can't get is really the best, and the refusal three times and twice seems to have made him deeply rooted.
Being admired by such a handsome young man, Wen Zhu was both shocked and frightened, and there was a faint hint of stealing joy, what was surprised was the young man's willfulness, and what he was afraid of sinking into it would never recover, but that trace of stealing joy was the pride of being appreciated by someone when the flowers were blooming.
The article was happy in his heart, I thought that the third daughter was not going to get married, but I didn't expect to have a deep love for the Xu family's straw bag, and I didn't know how to be good, this little brother Luo came to the door to propose, he was really sleepy and someone sent a pillow, he looked happy, coughed twice and said: "Daddy still has guests here, you go down first, and then call the Wenfu family for your father to call you." β
Wen Zhu was annoyed, and said in his heart, I am afraid that I will be sold by you at this time, so I have no choice but to use Xu Qiyuan as a shield.
Wen Zhu didn't dare to look at Luo, lowered his head, knelt on the ground, and said softly: "My daughter already has a sweetheart, and I ask my father to fulfill it, if I can't marry my cousin of the Xu family, my daughter would rather cut her hair and become a nun, and be accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green lantern for a long time." β
For a while, there was silence in the flower hall, and after a while, there was a whisper, but it was the three matchmakers, who had received the rich matchmaking funds from this Luo Gongzi, and Luo Gongzi had promised to thank him after the matter was completed, seeing that this Wen Master had already agreed, he was happy, but he didn't expect to listen to such a big gossip.
These three matchmakers were originally matchmakers among the powerful, how could they not know that the son of the Xu family was the fiancΓ© of Miss Wen Si, who had just been divorced by Master Wen, not to mention that the son of the Xu family also asked one of them to be a matchmaker for him, hoping to save this marriage.
Luo said to several matchmakers with a gloomy face: "The three grandmothers have worked hard, and the agreed Xie Jin Xiaosheng has a lot of money, plus twenty taels of silver per person." β
Which one can make a living of the matchmaker is not the seven tricks of exquisiteness, looking at each other, a matchmaker surnamed Wang was pushed out, Wang matchmaker looks kind and kind, and her clothes are also very simple, just like the grandmother next door, it makes people easy to get close, and said with a smile: "Since Master Wen likes it very much, then let's say so, the old woman is cheeky and begs for a cup of tea." Speaking of which, it turned out that Wenzhu had never appeared.
Seeing that Luo Ji had changed very quickly, he was a little overjoyed in his heart, and he made up his mind to hold this young man. Nodding at Wen Fu's family, he said, "Steward Wen will take a few grandmothers to have some tea." β
Wen Fu's family responded, and the three matchmakers were also very interested, and went out with Wen Fu's family, only thanking the article, but they didn't look at Wen Zhu and Luo.
There were only Wen Zhu, Luo and the article left in the hall, Luo's face was pale, and he forcibly sent away a few broken mouths, he was already on the verge of collapse, and he never thought that when he heard the words come out of her mouth, it would hurt to live rather than die, and a heart was suddenly broken into thousands of pieces, and she stepped on it with her foot.
When Luo lost his soul, he heard the article: "When will Brother Luo come to propose?" Ignoring Wen Zhu's attitude, Luo couldn't help but have some hope, his heart said, his parents' life, it was really the right way.
Wen Zhu stiffened, raised his hand to stroke the scar on his head, and said lightly: "Daddy, have you forgotten how the scar on my daughter's head came from?" β
The article was suffocated, and all Luo's hopes were shattered in one sentence, and he was hurt to the extreme, and there was a fierce ruthlessness in the Jedi, Luo turned his head and said categorically to the article: "Luo is not married to Miss Wen San in this life, and I ask Master Wen to fulfill it." β
Another non-Qing doesn't marry, the article wants to cry without tears, why is it always a little worse, can't God fulfill people's wishes? !
The lesson from the past is still there, and the article is really afraid that Wen Zhu will not be able to think about it, and he is really reluctant to be such a good son-in-law as Luo, so he said to Luo, "Luo Gongzi will go back first, and I will persuade this idiot later." β
Luo raised the corners of his lips, but he had three more points of evil spirit, and said politely: "Then Luo will wait for good news." β
The article didn't say much, and called Wen Fu to lead the way out of the house for Luo, Luo bowed to the article, and when he walked to Wen Zhu's side, he whispered.
