Chapter 173: The Little Matter of Getting Married
Ji Man was melancholy, what does it mean not to give lessons? She plans to teach nursery rhymes well today.
After changing his clothes and walking to Beiyuan, he was stopped by someone as soon as he arrived at the door, saying that Hou Ye was meeting guests.
Ji Man stood at the door and smiled at the ghost white for a long time, seizing the opportunity to look into the main house.
It seems that there is a vague voice of talking, and I hear what is going to be there to congratulate and what will be there. Helpless, it's a good son, she can't rob Ning Yuxuan, he doesn't give lessons, so she should rest.
Since she promised Miss Zhu to get married, she naturally had to start preparing for the marriage. Regarding the issue of the dowry, Ji Man has already thought about it, according to the rules here, it will probably cost a few hundred taels of silver to buy some decent dowry, and then invite a matchmaker to come to the door. Zhu Shilang couldn't marry his daughter in a hurry, so naturally he wouldn't worry too much about her.
After a trip to the street, the east family ordered red silk, and the west family ordered a few jars of fine wine. Ji Man had a very complicated feeling, prepared most of the things, and went to Zhu's house again to discuss the wedding date and specific details.
Zhu Shilang smiled very happily, Ji Man solved a big trouble for him, although it was a little wronged to marry his daughter casually, but it was already a great blessing to have someone willing to marry her.
Ji Fuzi seems to be sincere, and he heard that his family background is also solid, and if he helps him open two roads, his future will be bright, and his daughter will not suffer. Zhu Shuyou thought so, so he smiled and said a lot to Ji Man, and finally took her to go to the grain store to have a look.
Ji's grain business is not bad, but it is the business of ordinary people, the shop is not big, although there is one in the east, west, north and south, but each is only the size of two stores.
The Hubu waiter went on a trip, brought some cronies, and went to Ji's four grain stores for some guidance. Someone next to him kept following with a pen and paper, and after walking around, Ji Man and his party bumped into the shopkeeper of Liu Ji Grain Store.
The election was imminent, and the shopkeeper Liu was also full of energy, and deliberately spent a lot of money to invite Director Tang out to eat and drink. As soon as he came out of the Falling Wild Goose Pagoda, he bumped into Ji Man.
Ji Man bowed politely and said, "Lord Tang."
Director Tang still had a good impression of this person, nodded as a greeting, and was about to continue to go to the jade shop in front of him with Shopkeeper Liu, when he saw the sedan chair next to Ji Man slightly lifted the curtain.
His face changed slightly, and Director Tang stepped forward and bowed to the sedan chair, and he didn't call out his name and surname, but made a big salute.
Shopkeeper Liu was startled and hurriedly followed suit. How could this person who had to bow to Master Tang be with Master Ji?
Excuse me, I'm just going out for a walk with Ji Fuzi at will. Zhu Shilang glanced at Director Tang: You go first.
Director Tang's face was full of smiles, and he looked at Ji Man and said: Ji Fuzi is really the dragon and phoenix among people.
Thanks to Lord Tang's promotion. Ji Man smiled and said polite words.
Shopkeeper Liu's face was not very good-looking, fortunately, in the middle of the road, a few people couldn't stand longer, Ji Man followed the sedan chair, and Director Tang continued to walk in front of him.
There is no urgency about the next alliance meeting. Director Tang changed his tone just now, and said with a smile: There is still one month, you have enough qualifications, don't worry too much.
Shopkeeper Liu reluctantly smiled and responded.
Zhu Shilang said that he had been preparing for marriage recently, and Ji Man didn't have to worry about the grain business. Ji Man thanked him and was taken by the maid to see Zhu Yurun.
Zhu Yurun's yard has already begun to prepare to paste the word "happy and save the red silk". She seemed to have gained a lot of weight, sat at the table round and said, "Brother Man, come here, see how my Xipa embroiders?"
Ji Man automatically ignored her name, and walked over to see a strange duck embroidered on a red handkerchief.
Donald Duck?The corners of Ji Man's mouth twitched.
What kind of duck? Miss Zhu was unhappy, and pouted: "This is a mandarin duck!"
Okay, mandarin ducks. Ji Man covered his face and sat down, and couldn't help but take the bandage in her hand: Embroidery is not like this, don't ordinary daughters embroider in their families? Why do you even embroider mandarin ducks like this?
The maid next to her closed the door and went out in amusement, leaving room for the two of them.
My father didn't force me to learn this, I didn't embroider much because I was too troublesome. Zhu Yurun pursed his lips and looked at Ji Man's needle: You actually can?
Ji Man hadn't embroidered for a long time, and Nie Sangyu felt itchy hands, so he picked up the mandarin duck that had been embroidered by Zhu Yurun and began to rescue it.
When I was a child, I learned from my mother when I had nothing to do.
Zhu Yurun looked at her with admiration: My mother died early, and my father only had one daughter, so he spoiled me so much that he couldn't do anything.
Ji Man nodded, and he could see that he was so spoiled and lawless that even men dared to be strong.
It doesn't matter, there are people who can do it. I discussed with Master Zhu today, and I will come to hire the day after tomorrow, and then asked the matchmaker about the marriage date, and I will welcome you through the door within this month.
Zhu Yurun's eyes smiled into crescent moons again: That's good, I can finally wear a wedding dress.
Laughing and laughing, his eyes turned red: It's a pity that you are not him.
Ji Man was really more and more curious about who Miss Zhu was, but he couldn't ask, so he had to hold back the embroidered mandarin duck.
Oh yes, I can actually draw. Zhu Yurun took Ji Man's hand and said proudly: It's also the only talent I know, my father said that if I don't have any talent, I will be disgusted by my husband.
Ji Man lowered his head and embroidered seriously, and said in his mouth: Well, what will you draw?
Zhu Yurun happily went to take out a painting and unfolded it: Look, I will paint him!
Ji Man was stunned, looked up, and saw that the man in the painting was dressed in a robe embroidered with green bamboo, and some narrow eyes smiled with a little bohemianism.
It looks average, and it can be regarded as having two temperaments, and it looks a little familiar.
Well drawn, who is this?
Miss Zhu blushed and stomped her feet and said, "He's the one I'll tell you, it's very good-looking!"
What?
Ji Man glared at the painting a few times, and his eyelids jumped: You said this is your child's father?
Zhu Yurun nodded with starry eyes, carefully touched the face of the person on the painting with his fingers, and said softly: I have never seen anyone better than him, and the way he frowned was so charming.
Jiman shivered, and his hand was almost poked with a needle.
Are women in love really incomprehensible and incomprehensible? Although the painting of this man is not bad, but it is not to the point where it looks good and good-looking, and it makes people look like nymphomaniac, right?
Or is Miss Zhu's painting skills not at home, and she didn't paint all the man's elegance?
Ji Man opened his eyes and approached the painting, and photoshopped it with beautification in his mind, and he didn't feel anything, just one feeling---- familiar.
Where have you seen this man?
Until he returned to the Hou Mansion, Ji Man was still thinking about this problem. As a result, when he stepped into Beiyuan, he found that Mo Yuhou was still meeting guests, but he was not in the room, but playing chess in the corridor of Beiyuan.
He held the good in one hand and the white child in the other, leaning against the red pillar in the corridor, smiling quite confidently. The person on the other side frowned slightly and remained silent.
Hearing the movement, Ning Yuxuan looked sideways, and when he saw Ji Man, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and he twisted his head back with a straight face. The person on the other side was too attentive to playing chess, and he didn't raise his head at all.
Pedant. I opened my mouth and shouted obediently first.
Ji Man found the steps and went down, hurriedly walked over, and stretched out his hand to pick it up.
Ning Yuxuan hugged his little body that was struggling a little and held on: Isn't Master Ji going to get married, how can he have time to teach him well?
Ji Man walked to the chessboard and saluted in a proper manner: Master Hou, if you have time to give a good lesson, everything such as the dowry has been prepared.
Ning Yuxuan sneered: You really plan to marry?!
It has already been said below. Ji Man pursed his lips and said: I didn't sell my body in the next place, and I have the freedom to marry.
Mo Yuhou laughed angrily, and threw a white child into a waterhole in the distance, stiffening his face and not starting.
No matter how obsessed with the chess game was, Qian Yingchen finally raised his head, glanced at Mo Yuhou with some surprise, and then looked at Ji Man on the side: This is the master of the prince?
Ji Man paused, looked sideways at him, and when he saw this eyebrow, he immediately remembered: Lord Qian!
At the beginning, there was a relationship, this person was Qian Lianxue's younger brother, Mo Yuhou's best friend Qian Yingchen, Ji Man still remembered that he led him to meet the people of the same club at that time. It's just that he seems to have been relegated to Xuzhou later, but I didn't expect to see him in the capital now.
It's just that Ji Man felt messy after looking at this face twice.
Is there such nonsense in the world? She said why Zhu Yurun's painting of that person looked familiar, because she had indeed seen it, it was the face in front of her, but the lines were simpler.
Zhu Yurun is the strong man is Qian Yingchen Ji Man looked at him deeply, this is too
Qian Yingchen looked at Ji Man with very strange eyes, and couldn't help touching his face: Ji Fuzi actually recognizes him?
I have admired the name of a thousand adults for a long time. Ji Man laughed dryly, and swept his face again uncertainly: Didn't I hear that the adults were far away in Xuzhou?
Qian Yingchen said with a smile: I was transferred back to the capital half a year ago, where is Ji Fuzi from?
Not only do I understand, but I will marry your woman and treat your children as children. Ji Man thought silently in his heart, and said with a smile: I am a person from Changjun, but I have been looking up to Lord for a long time, and I know some news, but I don't know much about it.
Qian Yingchen used to be the manager of the club, so it's not surprising that he has fans.
The chat was happy, but Ning Yuxuan was not in a very good mood, and said with a straight face: Ying Chen, chess is here, let's go to the house to drink tea for a while.
