Chapter 35: A Righteous Man and a Gentleman
Su Ying was cooking in the kitchen and overheard the conversation between the two.
She didn't pay attention to the others, but after hearing Liu Qi mention Wang Ying, she stretched out her ears and listened carefully.
Zhang Dayong said: "I am not related to Wang Ying, how can I have a position to make her the master of her life." But since you brought it up, I'll ask for you. β
Liu Qi nodded again and again: "I know that she has always listened to you, if you go and say it, she will definitely agree." Hey. β
As Liu Qi expected, as soon as Zhang Dayong mentioned this matter, Wang Ying agreed.
"Brother Zhang said that Liu Qi is a good person and thinks it is good for me to marry him, so I will marry him."
Zhang Dayong twisted his eyebrows.
"It's your life's work, and you still have to think about it."
"That's it." Wang Ying said simply.
Both of them are not young, especially Liu Qi, after the reward silver above was sent, they couldn't wait for a day, so they directly found a matchmaker to come to the door.
In addition to the dowry that should be there, there was no shortage of them, and even ten taels of silver were taken as a bride price.
"This meritorious service, the above reward down fifteen taels of silver, the dowry and the matchmaker, spend two taels, the banquet, I will invite Brother Zhang and the inspection department to get close to a few brothers, what about you?"
Wang Ying was a little shy, and her face was flushed.
"I'm like you, and I don't have any relatives......"
Su Ying interrupted.
"Who says you don't have any relatives anymore? The day you were injured to save my father and me, I said that you will be my sister from now on. If you get married, of course my father and I will go. Not only do you have to eat a banquet, but my father and I also have to prepare a dowry for you. We can't let others underestimate it. β
Wang Ying's eyes sparkled, "Okay." β
Liu Qi thanked the Su family's father and daughter for their support, and then discussed the details of the marriage.
"In this case, there are not many people who eat the banquet, and two taels of silver can be done very decently."
He muttered again: "I won fifteen taels of silver, ten taels of bride price, two taels of dowry and matchmakers, and two taels of banquet money, so there is still ...... left" and counted with his fingers, "There is still one or two left." β
After Liu Qi finished settling the accounts, he took out an old purse from his dirty pocket, which contained two pieces of broken silver and a handful of copper plates.
He counted some out and put them in his pocket, and handed the rest to Wang Ying.
"In the future, we will be a family, and the family will be for you, and I will not have too little money in the future, and I will keep it for you every time I send it. Good no good? β
Maybe it was too shy, Liu Qi's face was red to the root of his ears.
This is the first time Wang Ying has met a man who trusts him so much.
not only didn't beat her, but didn't even mention that she had been married.
"I don't deserve you to be so nice to me." She muttered to herself.
Liu Qi only knew giggles.
Although this family affair came too quickly and was a bit unpredictable, it was always good to meet the right person.
Su Ying was happy for the two of them, so she couldn't help but make fun of Liu Qi.
"Don't lie to Wang Ying! If you only calculate the reward money of fifteen taels of silver, then you have worked hard in the military camp for five years, and you have also paid a lot of military salaries, right? Why didn't you take it out and keep it for Wang Ying? β
She knew that Wang Ying's military salary was asked by the family who bought her before, Wang Ying was stupid, and she didn't leave a copper plate.
But Liu Qi has no relatives, and no one picks his money.
She was joking to adjust the atmosphere, but Liu Qi took it seriously.
"I didn't expect to marry a daughter-in-law before, and I didn't know when I would be killed by an arrow from the enemy, so every time the military salary was paid, it was spent in two days, and I didn't save any money on hand."
In order to prove that he was not lying, Liu Qi turned out the empty pockets on his body.
"You see, I really didn't hide it, except for the money bag to prepare this point for the banquet, there is really nothing else."
Su Ying deliberately said with a tiger face: "The military salary will be spent in two days?" How is it spent? The food and clothing are all distributed in the barracks, and you have other places to spend money? β
Liu Qi blushed, lowered his head and said, "I'm looking for a girl." When it's good, you can play for two days, and when you meet a bustard with a black heart, sometimes you can only play for one night. β
"What!" Su Ying didn't expect that the joke was too big, and when she heard this, she was so angry that she spilled all the tea on the table, "Why are you this kind of person?" We're not getting married. Wang Ying, let's not get married, let's give him all the things! β
Liu Qi didn't know what Su Ying said and turned her face, seeing that the dowry and bride price silver she gave were thrown out by her, she knew that it was not a joke.
He was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, so he could only run out, "Brother Da Yongβ"
Zhang Dayong was resting in his own room opposite, and when he heard the movement, he walked over.
Seeing that Su Ying was still black-faced and throwing things angrily, he asked the reason.
Su Ying crossed his waist, hehe.
"Okay, find the girl! You're not dirty, Wang Ying is dirty! How do you have the face to say it? Have you ever heard that? 'Being a man without self-love, cauliflower grows on your body', Liu Qi, I advise you to go to the doctor quickly, don't get any flower willow disease! It doesn't matter if you are sick yourself, you will be guilty of infecting any unlucky girl! β
Shen Mo has been focused on his studies recently, and it is rare to come to the Su family, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Su Ying being furious.
After listening to a few words, you can roughly understand what is happening.
entered the courtyard and hurriedly appeased Su Ying.
"Look at you, Wang Ying hasn't said anything yet, but you are angry first. What is it called? The emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry! β
Zhang Dayong looked at Shen Mo fiercely, "Eunuch? β
Silent cocked his chin.
"What's wrong with the eunuch? Eunuchs are not people? I can tell you, no one should look down on eunuchs, although my father has never told me about my uncle, but Uncle Su has told me many times. Although my uncle is a eunuch, he is disabled and strong-willed, and he values love and righteousness, and he stands up to the sky more than ordinary men! β
Zhang Dayong stared at Shen Mo carefully, and said leisurely, "You really don't know anything!" β
But he was stunned by the silence.
"I don't know what? You know you mean! Shen Mo snorted, "I hate to pretend to be mysterious and say half a word!" β
Zhang Dayong stared at him silently for a long time, and finally didn't say anything.
Turning his head to Su Ying, he said, "Don't be angry because of this, there are many such things in the barracks, and he is not the only one who does this." β
Su Ying asked rhetorically, "What about you?" Are you looking for a girl too? β
Before Zhang Dayong could answer, he saw that Liu Qi couldn't wait to protect him.
"Miss Su, don't insult Brother Zhang. You can scold me as much as you want, because I Liu Qi is not a righteous gentleman, but Brother Zhang is different, in the past five years, no matter how his brothers persuade him to laugh at him, he has not looked for a girl once. Even if someone below sent a beautiful woman to show him favor, he refused. I've grown so big, it's the first time I've seen Brother Zhang as a decent man! β
After listening to Liu Qiyi's strict defense of Zhang Dayong, Shen Mo was not far behind.
Defend yourself.
"Don't worry, I'm more gentlemanly than him! If you don't believe me, tempt me to try! β
