Chapter 009: I'm Not Worthy (Ask for Collection)
Qiao Rui's body was shocked, and then he understood what the Chen family meant, it turned out that he wanted to marry Qiao Wei to the Yuan family, and he was still dreaming of being a relative of the emperor.
It was only a few years ago that the Chen family had vaguely mentioned to Qiao Rui that the courtiers under Yuan Shu only had the two daughters of the Qiao family, and there was not much difference in age from Yuan Yao, and they might be able to marry in the future.
At that time, Qiao Rui thought that the children were small, and the Yuan family was huge, it was likely that the marriage would be completed internally, and it was unlikely that he would marry the daughter of the general's family, but he didn't expect the Chen family to mention it again.
"Madam, don't think about it, your hometown is also Runan, you should know that but it is too far from the Yuan family, we are not qualified." Qiao Rui waved his hand.
"Our daughter is beautiful and fragrant, Yao Gongzi will definitely like it, Wei'er will be in time next year, and the age is just right, the general has to fight for it, the lord relies on you so much, what if you agree?" Chen looked at Qiao Rui expectantly.
Qiao Rui smiled bitterly: "What's the use of relying on Ben?" What about my daughter's national color and fragrance? Even if Lu Bu's daughter seems to have no salt, the lord will not hesitate to choose the latter, because the other party is a prince of one side, and the husband is just a general..."
"What then? Wei'er and Lu are about to get married, Shouchun's civil and military forces at the same level as the general, there is no unmarried man of the right age, we can't find a worse one, right? Chen's eyebrows furrowed.
"There's nothing wrong with that." Qiao Rui shook her head, indicating that she didn't care.
Chen Zhengse said: "The door is right, since ancient times, Wei'er can't marry into the Yuan family, and she can't deign to marry." ”
Qiao Rui nodded and responded: "For the husband, he has his own plans, and the daughter of the Qiao family does not worry about getting married." ”
"General, just like Long Xiang, no matter how talented he is, he is our retainer, and he is not even qualified to recruit others." Chen reminded in a deep voice.
Qiao Rui didn't think about it so much at all, so she said casually: "My husband understands, I'll talk about this later." ”
Chen pondered for a moment, and then said: "When Sun Bofu defeated Lujiang, the concubine persuaded the general to find someone to talk to the matchmaker, it is difficult to find a young hero with an equal family background like this, but the general hesitated again and again at that time, and as a result, Wu Jing found someone to take the lead. ”
"The reason why the husband hesitates is not because the Sun family has a lot of background, and it is difficult to ensure that the lord does not suspect that he marries his daughter to Sun Ce, and Wei'er is still young at that time..."
"But Wei'er is now fourteen years old, so she has to plan ahead, where is the general going now?" Seeing that Qiao Rui got up and seemed to be leaving, Chen asked urgently.
"The lord asked me to wait for the afternoon discussion, now the hour is almost up, there is no need to worry about Wei'er's affairs, if there is no suitable one, I will raise it at home first, and my Qiao family will not lack rice and grain." After Qiao Rui finished speaking, he raised his hand and strode out of the flower hall.
Chen Shi looked at Qiao Rui's back, and his delicate face showed a trace of bitterness.
What's the use of not lacking rice? If you can't get married for a long time, won't you become an old girl? What's more, Qiao Wan is only one year younger, which is twice as much trouble.
As she passed through the corridor in the backyard, she unexpectedly found her three children sitting at the stone table under the pavilion chatting.
Chen walked over lightly, only to find that several people were actually discussing Long Xiang.
"Eldest sister, second sister, have you noticed that Long Xiang has changed so much, and his length is almost close to his father."
"People are sixteen, it's normal to have this head, the other third brother, I heard that in the flower hall just now, you were reprimanded by your father for being rude, right? Why did it start to be neither big nor small? Since my father gave him the words, we can't call him by his first name. ”
"He's not in front of him, why did the second sister knock me on the head again..."
"What about growing taller? It's just the son of a soldier, and maybe one day it'll be gone. ”
"Eldest sister, you can't say that, I just asked Guard Li, Long Xiang... Yunqi, he was assigned to the rear army by his father, and he was the last to play every time, mostly leading the team to clean up the battlefield, it was not easy to die, and this person..."
"How is he?"
"Guard Li said that he was lazy and timid, and often tried to lead the team to avoid the battle, so the Qubu he commanded, in several battles during his time in Xuzhou, had zero casualties and zero military exploits, and he didn't even catch wine in the past few days..."
"No wonder I drank so quickly today, it turned out that I wanted to make up for it at the table, Long Xiang was so cunning? After two years in our house, he disgraced his father's face. ”
"Eldest sister, you didn't call the table just now, and..."
"The third brother is less nonsense, and a coward is not worthy of honorific."
"Eldest sister, don't get excited, since Long Yunqi is so unbearable, why would his father invite him to the banquet? The two of them drank frequently at the table, which is unreasonable, right? ”
"Eldest sister, second sister is right."
"Maybe his father took pity on him, and he remembered the merits of his father's sacrifice, otherwise how could it be..."
"I don't think so, Long Yunqi was quite good just now, and when he drank with his father, he was arrogant and dry, and this momentum didn't look like a cowardly person at all, and did the eldest sister find that he was not only more cheerful than a year ago, but also looked more pleasing to the eye."
"Is there one?"
"Eldest sister, the second sister is right, he used to keep his head down every day, and he never saw him smile, if it weren't for the sound like that, I suspect it wasn't Long Xiang... The clouds rise. ”
"The more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes, it is estimated that this person is just a leader in the end when he adapts to life in the camp."
......
The three sisters and brothers sat under the pavilion and discussed fiercely on the topic of Long Xiang, and Chen shook his head and walked away after listening to it for a while.
The appearance and height of the two daughters are similar, but their personalities are completely different, the eldest daughter Qiao Wei is very similar to her mother Chen, and the second daughter Qiao Wan seems to be more intelligent and clever.
Chen walked to the corner of the corridor, turned around and glanced at the small pavilion in the courtyard, thinking about Wan'er's heart so much, she should be very tired in the future, right? After all, the smarter you are, the more troubles you have.
The sound of cicadas in the summer was bursting, and it was regarded as a topic Long Xiang, who pretended to be drunk at first in the flower hall of Qiaofu, and had to pretend to sleep hard when he returned to the barracks.
There is no way, in order to keep the character from collapsing, Long Xiang must insist.
Lying on the bed with his eyes closed, Long Xiang complained about the former self, how did he offend the mother and daughter of the Qiao family? And thinking that he has to avoid it as much as possible in the future, as long as he doesn't meet, there will be no troubles, in fact, he doesn't know the crux of the problem at all, and the mother and daughter of the Qiao family don't hate Long Xiang, they just dislike his background.
Long Xiang was a civil engineer in his previous life, and pragmatism was his criterion for doing things, and he was very surprised to see Xiao Qiao just now, but because he was too rational, he didn't have much trouble.
When Long Xiang was in college, there were very few girls in the class, and the funny thing was that the only three 'dinosaurs' were also sought-after goods for boys in the school, mainly because they were scarce and expensive.
After participating in the work, it was even more miserable, almost all the males working on the construction site, the only few female comrades, who were also the daughters-in-law brought by the workers, either helped their husbands or cooked on the construction site, and their ages were all at the level of aunts.
may be the reason why he has been away from the city for too long and has seen too few women, Long Xiang saw the cooking aunt for a while, and he felt that his eyebrows were clear.
Later, the media appeared, saving the majority of civil engineering people, and the cloud girlfriends who sang and danced in various apps were the material for the workers to dream at night.
Long Xiang once came to the conclusion that civil engineers don't need to marry wives at all, because I am outside all year round and don't take a bath for ten days and a half months, I really don't deserve it.
