Chapter Eighty-Six: Marriage Proposal
Shen Fu;
"At the beginning, it was clearly said that the competition would recruit relatives, who wins and who marries, how can he be tricked now? Even if you are my parents, you can't do this, beware of being criticized, don't you want to make the world laugh at you? ”
In the main hall, Shen Hongluan was ashamed and indignant, and kept telling his unhappiness and complaints.
She turned around angrily, clearly annoyed by the incident.
"Hongluan, my father knows that he has wronged you, so I have to take a look!"
Master Shen was persuading hard, as if he was the head of the house, not at all like his father.
"I only marry Tang Shilang and Tang Jianqiu in my life!"
She had to emphasize the importance of the matter, and then faced Master Shen.
With the moment of turning around, the beautiful hair spread from the fragrant shoulder, wrapping the stunner figure of the disaster country and the people, and the jade fist was clenched tightly while speaking.
Master Shen choked suddenly, he was indeed at fault in this matter, but even so, he still did not forget to persuade with good words, so that his girl could compromise.
"My father knows, it's just that this son of the Qin family is also a talent, even if you don't like it, you should look at it."
However, Shen Hongluan didn't care, she just snorted coldly.
"Regardless of whether he is Qin or a beast, I, Shen Hongluan, only identify Tang Jianqiu alone in this life!"
How could Master Shen withstand such a blow? I almost didn't faint on the spot.
"Hey! I said, how can you, this girl, insult people like this, Gongzi Qin? It's also a big family, so let's take a look first. ”
"Whatever you want, I'll go for a break."
As she was talking, Shen Hongluan was going to leave, she didn't want to linger too long, since the main entrance would meet, she would naturally enter through the back door.
Master Shen stroked his chest with his palm in great pain, and stomped on the ground with his cane:
"You girl! Alas! It's the other way around, it's the other way around! ”
After Shen Hongluan left, Master Shen sat down with the support of the maid, and simply tasted a few sips of fine tea before he felt a little more comfortable.
"This girl is really angry with me!"
"Master, don't be angry, you also know the temperament of the third girl, not to mention that she is now a third-grade general, not to mention that she has always been concerned about Tang Shilang, what's wrong?"
Old Madam Shen was kind enough to persuade her, but for Old Man Shen, she had hard wings.
As the saying goes, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds fly, and finally the woman will not stay!
Master Shen snorted first, and then said something unpleasant: "What do you know about a woman?" I just want her to be a reference!
You go and invite Gongzi Qin in. ”
"Yes."
After the maid saluted, she hurried to the door to greet her, and soon saw a merry man holding a folding fan, followed by a few subordinates, and prepared gifts by the way.
There is a way to be diligent and diligent in nothing, and now this Qin Gongzi is not only devoted to Shen Hongluan's beauty, but also eyeing the power of the Shen family.
"Master Shen, Mrs. Shen, Xiaosheng took the liberty to come here and forgive me."
Master Shen was very surprised, and he was very satisfied with what Qin Xintao said, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold it up.
"Young Master Qin is exempt, please take a seat."
"Master Xie Shen gave me a seat."
Qin Xintao was not restrained, he sat down without hesitation, but he did not forget to look around, just like the clown jumping beam in "Getaway", he didn't take this master's family seriously at all.
But no matter what, this person is a guest, even if Master Shen has an opinion, it is not easy to say it in public, but he just laughed dryly, and then asked:
"Presumably, Qin Shao came here this time for the marriage of the little girl, right?"
Qin Xintao nodded vigorously, then spread out the fan, and said very confidently: "That's natural, please rest assured that Miss Shen will be handed over to me, I will treat her well." ”
Master Shen was obviously a little embarrassed, he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart as much as possible, and then smiled.
"Qin Shao may not know that the little girl and the fourth young master of the Tang family are married by the belly, Qin Shao is only afraid that it is ......"
Master Shen pretended to hesitate, so he wanted to test Qin Xintao, if he broke his oath and promised this pearl in his palm to other sons, he was afraid that it would be a little inappropriate.
How could Qin Xintao be satisfied? He didn't care about these three, seven, twenty-one, just as these were nonsense.
"Master Shen's difference, since ancient times, the words of the matchmaker of his parents, as long as it is suitable, what does it matter if he is married? What's more, my Qin family also has a certain status, and it is no worse than the Tang family in this capital.
Besides, a few words can solve the problem, so why do you make such an ugly fuss? ”
"This ......"
It's not that Master Shen doesn't know that this is not in line with the rules, but this Qin Xintao's words do have a certain amount of truth, but he is more inclined to the Tang family.
Seeing that Master Shen hesitated, Qin Xintao didn't forget to add a fire:
"I said, Master Shen, why are you so troubled? It is said that the third lady of the Shen family is a girl who has not bound her feet! If it's a maid or an ordinary person, it's fine, but she is a young lady from a big family!
You must know that this woman has big feet and no one dares to marry, who in this world will want her but me? ”
Such words were like a thunderbolt smashed through it, shattering Master Shen's already unstable heart.
Qin Xintao was not wrong, it was a fact that Shen Hongluan had never bound his feet, but he couldn't bear to suffer his own girl at that time.
After a long time, I regretted it, and by then Shen Hongluan had already made up his mind, how could he compromise?
The Shen family is the only one who has never bound her feet, and the other sisters have also done what they should do, which makes Master Shen not know what to say for a while.
After struggling for a while, Master Shen had the courage to say: "Dare to ask what Qin Gongzi means, but do you say that the third girl in my family can't get married?" ”
Foot binding is to prevent women from dissatisfaction, resistance, elopement, etc., for four reasons:
First, the prosperity of foot binding is directly related to the preferences of ancient celebrities, and during the Ming Dynasty, there were more requirements for women's foot binding.
Second, after the woman binds her feet, she always gives people a sense of beauty when she walks, which will give people a feeling of warmth and skillfulness visually.
Third, the main role of women for men in ancient times was to pass on the ancestry, and there was a definition of "chromophobia" since ancient times.
Fourth, many celebrities are "foot worshippers", and the main reason why they are interested in the three-inch golden lotus is due to a quirk, that is, they like to smell its smell, and some scholars like to smell their feet and discuss poetry
"That's natural, do you really think that the fourth son of the Tang family really married your pearl?"
Qin Xintao was very disdainful, and seemed to think that Shen Hongluan was a girl who was too old to marry, no matter how perfect she was, she was a high climb!
Qin Xintao, who seemed to realize that there was something missing, hurriedly added: "You two elders think about it, after this village, there will be no such shop, after all, this outsider may not be able to marry." ”
"If others don't marry, I'll marry!"
Tang Jianqiu's face was awe-inspiring, and a striking red python robe was brought into view;
Tang Jianqiu walked straight into the gate of the Shen family, only to see the person who came with a belt around his waist, his face was grim, and his eyes were even more cold, which could be described as evil and arrogant.
"Who are you?"
Qin Xintao only felt a little strange about the extremely handsome man in front of him, and he had never seen it on weekdays.
Tang Jianqiu was not angry, he didn't choose to hide it, and simply reported to his family:
"In the lower Tang Jianqiu, the North Town Fusi Town Fu Envoy!"
Hearing this, Qin Xintao's pupils widened suddenly, as if he couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the frightened envoy of Beizhen, and he couldn't believe that Tang Jianqiu would actually come to the door in person.
Qin Xintao looked up and down, and suddenly, an indescribable strangeness permeated his heart.
He said like this: "It turns out that you are Tang Jianqiu, the sister-in-law of the Tang family in the mouth of the second elder? ”
In this regard, Tang Jianqiu replied without hesitation: "Exactly!" ”
"I really can't figure out why you fell in love with such a girl, she hasn't been entangled in her feet!"
Qin Xintao had to emphasize the importance of the matter to Tang Jianqiu, so that he could retreat.
Tang Jianqiu responded with a sneer, "What if you don't bind your feet?" If that girl has a heart, even if she wants to escape, she can't help it. ”
Qin Xintao seemed to have been humiliated, and yelled at Tang Jianqiu:
"You! Is the Tang family amazing? ”
"Yes, as the son-in-law of the Tang family, I am amazing." Tang Jianqiu has always been straightforward, which made Qin Xintao angry.
"Tell me what you can give that girl!"
"I can naturally give what you can give her, and what you can't give her, I can afford it like Tang Jianqiu!"
Tang Jianqiu didn't read many books, but he still understood some truths, so let him go if there was no need.
Qin Xintao showed disdain, "Heh, I'm not a Qin person, I don't have to be this girl!"
There are many well-read women in this world! With my appearance, I have never looked at any of the girls who begged me, you Shen family is really okay! ”
Seeing that the spearhead is pointed at the Shen family, how can Tang Jianqiu, who is a "hairy son-in-law", not defend it?
"If the Shen family is in trouble, the Tang family will naturally share the glory and disgrace! In the following, I wish Qin Gongzi to find the girl he likes as soon as possible. ”
"Women are born to be passed on to men! What if she is a second-class female general? Why should I take a girl with unbound feet?
Women should honestly teach their husbands and children, abide by women's morals, and have children, otherwise what do women do? ”
Qin Xintao was extremely angry, and he hit Tang Jianqiu in the face with every word.
Tang Jianqiu stared expressionlessly, at that moment, he was like looking at a prisoner who had committed a heinous crime, and a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle met Qin Xintao, which couldn't help but make people feel afraid.
He roared like he was walking on thin ice, "Did you wrap your face with a footcloth?" ”
"You! Tang Jianqiu! You dare to offend our Qin family! ”
Qin Xintao trembled with anger, this was the first humiliation he had received.
Tang Jianqiu didn't care, but was calm and calm, and his tone was flat.
For him, the swords that struck him were nothing more than a drizzle.
Since the other party has to reason with him, Tang Jianqiu doesn't mind teaching him a lesson:
"I think that the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite Queen Ma has never bound her feet, Queen Ma has been smart since she was a child, can write poetry and paint, is especially good at history books, and has a stubborn personality.
How can you judge the world with small feet? I, Tang Jianqiu, am the girl who is happy with Hongluan! ”
"You!"
Qin Xintao was furious, he had never been humiliated many times in the same day, but this guy was ......
"Marrying is against the law, and the matchmaker knows."
This seemingly unintentional sentence made Qin Xintao remember it in his heart, and he was very puzzled:
"What do you mean?"
"It means that you know that the Tang family has a marriage contract with the Shen family, but you still knowingly make trouble for the Shen family! Could it be that you want to be flogged? ”
