Chapter 87: The Li Family's Influence
"You pick a daughter-in-law, what am I going to do?"
Zhu Wanqing was anxious, "Of course you have to take the pass, this will affect the next generation of Xiaohao, and the next generation will ......."
"Alright, alright." Li Qing smiled helplessly, "Okay, it's really not idle for a moment!" ”
"Mother, the child doesn't want him to ......"
"Shut up, there's no place for you to talk here." Zhu Wanqing interrupted ruthlessly, "Parents are in charge of marriage matters, how can you be picky?" ”
"But he's not my parents!" Li Hao protested.
However, the protests were ineffective.
Zhu Wanqing snorted: "Your young master is an elder, so he is naturally qualified to check it. ”
Li Hao couldn't be excited, "He, he ......"
"Forget it." Li Qing said.
Li Hao was stunned for a moment, then rejoiced, and at the same time, he was also a little guilty: I am like this, is it too hurtful to him?
But I heard Li Qing continue: "He is only seventeen years old, and it will not be too late in two years." ”
"No, you check it, you help me check it." Li Hao hurriedly changed his words.
At his age, he is the age when he is full of fantasies about the opposite sex, how can he not want to ...... This?
"Master Qing, grandson toasts you." Li Hao picked up his wine glass, "In the past, the grandson was ignorant, and he was unhappy with his grandfather, and he asked his grandfather not to remember the villain." ”
Li Hao focuses on a bending and stretching.
Having said that, he didn't seem to have stretched it out, and he gave in.
However, the daughter-in-law is in the hands of others, in case the young master takes revenge for personal gain and deliberately finds him an ugly one, he has no place to cry.
Although he can divorce his wife, it is really a loss of character.
"Master Qing, what does your grandson like, you should understand, right?"
Li Qing nodded: "Marry a wife and marry a virtuous person, don't worry, Master Qing will definitely find you a virtuous one." ”
"You can't see whether you are virtuous or not, it's better to be beautiful." Li Hao made a request.
Zhu Wanqing scolded: "Superficial! ”
"Son, this is not superficial, it's ......" Li Hao thought for a while and said, "It's for the sake of the next generation." ”
He said vigorously, "Mother, what do you think, if it weren't for your natural beauty, my father is handsome and dignified, how would my sister and I be like this?" ”
"Look how beautiful my sister is."
The corners of Li Xue'er's mouth twitched, and for the first time, she felt that her eldest brother was listening to what she was saying.
"Look at me again, the first ...... in Jinling," Li Hao paused, "and the young master can compete with me." ”
Li Qing: "......"
Zhu Wanqing: "Do you want to look in the mirror and then speak?" ”
"Big brother, there is still a gap between you and Grandpa Li, and it's not small." Li Xueer mends the knife.
Li Hao: o(╥_╥)o
Both Shengyu and He Shengliang!
I can't, my son will. ’
Li Hao insisted: "I can compromise on everything else...... Well, I'll be superficial. ”
Speaking of which, Li Hao simply broke the jar and stumbled, "The daughter-in-law in my mind must meet the following three points;
Pretty, pretty, or ...... Pretty. ”
In front of the elders, he didn't dare to explode foul language, but ...... The meaning is in place.
Zhu Wanqing said coldly: "You kid is looking for a draw, right?" ”
“…… I'll go to my grandfather for comment. Li Hao was angry, and turned around to leave.
"Stop!" Zhu Wanqing stopped him and snorted: "I will take care of it, your grandfather is a handful of years old, and his legs and feet are not good, don't let him worry about it." ”
"Okay." Li Hao said sullenly, "Okay, you must not pick an ugly one for me, I don't want my son to be ugly." ”
Zhu Wanqing said angrily: "Hurry up." ”
"Well, okay, let's get out." When Li Hao saw her agree, his mood became beautiful.
"This little rabbit cub ......" Zhu Wanqing was still angry, and when she saw her daughter, her heart moved, and asked: "Xiaoxue, you are almost fifteen, although you have not yet reached the age, but it is not far away, what do you think about the other half of the future?" ”
She doesn't worry about her son at all, as long as she doesn't harm others, but her daughter can't.
"Mother, I'm still young." Li Xue'er blushed shyly, "My eldest brother hasn't skimmed the eight characters yet, so you're anxious about me?" ”
"Just ask, take precautions." Zhu Wanqing said kindly, "I'm your mother, and Grandpa Li is not an outsider, so there's nothing to be shy about, let's talk about it." ”
Li Xue'er blushed, but she still opened her mouth and whispered:
"My daughter also wants to find a ...... Handsome and dashing. ”
“…… You're really brothers and sisters. Zhu Wanqing couldn't help complaining, but she was not as savage as her son, and continued to ask: "What else?" ”
"If it's talented, that's even better." Li Xue'er added in a low voice, "Mother, am I too demanding?" ”
"......" Zhu Wanqing twitched the corners of her mouth, "It's not high, it's not high at all." ”
paused, "Then do you want to recruit a gentleman, or get married?" ”
Li Xue'er didn't get entangled, "If father, mother, eldest brother, and Grandpa Li, if you have no opinion, I think ...... Recruit one, so that we can always be together. ”
Zhu Wanqing looked at Li Qing.
Li Qing said with a smile: "I have no opinion, but I may not have time to choose a husband for the little girl at that time." ”
Seeing that Uncle Li also agreed, Zhu Wanqing nodded: "That mother will help you pay attention first." ”
"Mother, I'm still young, and I don't want to get married in a hurry." Li Xue'er was embarrassed, got up and ran away.
"This kid ......" Zhu Wanqing shook her head with a smile, looked at her daughter's back, and said with emotion: "Sometimes, I still think that I am a child, the pearl of the elders, a collection of pampering, raise my eyes and see, the children are so old, with them, it is not good to be old!" ”
"It's okay, you're not forty yet, and you don't have anything to do with the old words." Li Qingwen smiled, "Isn't it just a child." ”
"Yes, in front of Uncle Li, I can still be a child again, I am really happy." Zhu Wanqing said with a smile, as if she had returned to the old days, and said mischievously: "Uncle Li, you can't beat me now." ”
"That's up to you." Li Qing raised his glass and sipped the wine, "If you are still the same as before, I will beat you the same." ”
Zhu Wanqing: "......"
~
The wine and food were removed, and the uncle and nephew tasted tea and chatted; On the current business situation, as well as the future deployment, the general discussion, after a while, it is time to declare.
Li Qing was idle and bored, so he went out to the pear orchard.
I remember that when I took my master and younger brother to live in the Hou Mansion, Li Jinglong often took them to Liyuan to listen to the opera, he was relatively busy, and he often ran around, and for a long time, he did not accompany the old man as much as Li Jinglong.
The pear orchard is still the same pear orchard.
It's just that the original horn is gone, but ...... Still young.
Li Qing, as at the beginning, wanted to serve a plate of melon seeds, order a pot of good tea, and when he heard the highlights, he did not hesitate to shout.
However, he felt a little cold.
The old man who is as generous as him, the little junior brother, Li Jinglong, is gone......
The same script, the same interpretation, but it no longer has the original taste.
Perhaps, this is a pity...... Li Qing thought bitterly.
He suddenly felt that it was good to be busy, and it was really not a pleasure to be so idle today.
~
The next day, early in the morning.
'Bell Bell Bell ......'
"Master Qing, it's me, Xiao Hao!"
"The door is unlocked, come in." Li Qing yawned and sat up slowly.
Li Hao pushed the door in and said busily: "My young master, hurry up, everyone is here." ”
"Who's coming?" Li Qing looked confused.
"My daughter-in-law...... Ah no, it's just the ladies who are in a hurry to marry me. Li Hao urged, "Now what about the attic of the second courtyard, you can go quickly." ”
"Coming so early?" Li Qing was surprised.
"What do you think?" Li Hao said proudly, "Don't look at the influence of our Li family!" ”
Then, he slumped his shoulders and bent over, with flattery on his face, "Master, my own grandfather, the happiness of my grandson, and the children and grandchildren of the next generation, the descendants of the next generation, but it all depends on you, the grandson was ignorant before......"
“…… Alright, alright. Li Qing didn't have the heart to interrupt him, "Let's get up, go get me a basin of water, and I'll wash up." ”
"Hey, let's go."
~
After washing, Li Qing went to the attic of the second courtyard.
Good guys, there are really a lot of people here, there are more than a dozen ladies from large families, plus matchmakers and personal maids who accompany them...... There are no less than 40 people.
This ...... gave Li Qing a sense of déjà vu for later generations.
"Ahem, let me go." Li Qing squeezed through the crowd, walked to the attic inner hall, and sat down in the seat of the 'interviewer'.
"Uncle Li, you're here." Zhu Wanqing smiled, "Then let's start?" ”
“…… Let's go. Li Qing touched his nose and always felt indecent.
Zhu Wan cleared her throat and glanced at the maid beside her, who understood, took out the list and read, "Please come in with the young lady of the Wang family." ”
"Come on, let's let's go, let's let go." The voice of the woman's philistine sounded, and after a while, the old woman led a young woman in.
The old woman said respectfully: "I have seen Mrs. Li." ”
The young woman bowed slightly, very reserved.
"Mrs. Li, this is the daughter of the Wang Shilang family of the Ministry of Industry, a serious scholarly family, a quiet temperament, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting......"
This matchmaker is very professional, comparable to the top sales to introduce their own products, and the head of the talk is the way, which is heartwarming.
The girl's appearance is acceptable, with fine skin and tender meat, and a white face, which is not very beautiful, but it can also be called superior.
It's just that the daughter of the squire family...... This point made Li Qing very repulsive.
The same is true for Zhu Wanqing.
She picks her daughter-in-law, of course, it is impossible to pick a peasant girl who is illiterate, but the level of squire is too deep and easy to entangle.
The Li family picks their daughter-in-law and doesn't look at each other, after all, ...... At least in Jinling, it is almost impossible to find people who can overpower the Li family.
The consensus of Li Qing and Zhu Wanqing is: well-versed in literature and ink, reasonable, soft-natured, middle-class, and petty-bourgeois families.
Being tall is not beautiful, but it is not good to be too low, otherwise the two will not have a common topic.
The uncle and nephew glanced at each other, and made a decision, Zhu Wanqing smiled and said, "Miss Wang is very good, I will consider it." ”
The matchmaker wanted to sell it again, but the maid of the Hou Mansion spoke first: "Please come in." ”
…
…
Good guy, Li Qing called him a good guy.
He knew that the Li family had a lot of influence, but he didn't expect that the Li family's influence would be so great now.
If this ferments for two days, the threshold must not be broken?
