Chapter 519 The male protagonist's cannon fodder cousin (42) (for Jiu Wuxin~)
After Sikong rested enough, he said goodbye and left, saying that he was going to see his master.
The old guy is hiding somewhere to drink again. It's not that he's afraid of something happening to him. Apart from him, no one is the opponent of Xiaoyao Weng in Qianji Pavilion.
What he is afraid of is that the old guy gets drunk and gets others to brag. After bragging, he likes to be praised by others. He is happy when he is praised. He forgets about it and allows a lot of favors. In the end, he, the apprentice, has to come forward to pay back the favor.
tired.
When Xu Yin saw him leaving, she felt relieved but also a little melancholy.
But if he is really "him", then we will definitely see each other again in the future, so we simply don't have to worry about it.
She summoned the housekeeper and explained to him the real reason why her parents died.
After hearing this, the old housekeeper was shocked and angry.
He went to visit the grave of the master and his wife, and once wanted to crash and die in front of the grave of the master and his wife, and use his old life to apologize. He just thought that the girl was the only master in the house. If he left, Kuier would go back to his biological parents.
, the girl doesn’t even have a trustworthy errand boy by her side, so how can she rest assured?
So he secretly swore in front of the master's and his wife's grave: to keep him alive, to protect the girl for the rest of his life, and to never let anything happen to the girl again, nor to let anything happen to the Xu family again. If he breaks this oath, he is willing to be struck by five thunders from heaven.
boom.
Unexpectedly, the death of Master and Madam had nothing to do with Kuier.
"It's just because Qizhen Pavilion's business is booming and they suspect that the head of the Xu family is a disciple of Prince Rui's Mansion and is making money for Prince Rui's Mansion, that they hired people from the world to kill the master and his wife? How can there be such a vicious person in this world? Or the emperor...
Where is the previous emperor? Fortunately, he passed away. If not, the old slave would have wanted to hire knights and knights to assassinate him!"
"..." You are right!
After talking about it, the old housekeeper felt relieved and cheered up again.
"Girl, this old slave has been out for a long time. He has to go back. Otherwise, those boys and girls will start to hide away again when they see that no one is taking care of them."
Xu Yin thought for a while and said, "I'll go back with you! Anyway, we have already come up with a charter. Whoever comes to propose marriage should first ask if they are willing to marry. If not, we will not discuss it. If they are willing... I have to meet them."
If you want to excel, let’s examine it for a while. In short, those with poor character, low emotional intelligence, ugly appearance, and incompetence will not be accepted.”
The housekeeper was a little dizzy: "..." Can you still find it?
However, he has confidence in his girl. She has both good looks and outstanding talents. When recruiting a husband, it is natural to recruit someone who is well-matched to her. Think about the few idle young men in the Lu family and the Liang family who are also worthy of proposing the girl's hand in marriage! What if this is the case?
It’s done, wouldn’t it be like putting flowers on cow dung?
After returning home, the housekeeper took the girl's words and sent them to the matchmakers who came to the house.
"What? Miss Xu wants to find a wife?"
"You still have so many demands for a wife?"
Several matchmakers looked at each other.
It seemed that Xu Mansion was clearly rejecting them.
Then I'm afraid the marriage won't work out.
So I went back and informed my respective employers truthfully.
When the other families heard that the Xu Mansion was planning to recruit a wife, they had no other thoughts except that they regretted not being able to marry Xu Yin. After all, the Xu Mansion only had Xu Yin as its owner, and she was a girl. They had some expectations before they came, and they were afraid that
Yes, they will recruit wives.
The reason why I still send a matchmaker to propose marriage is simply to try my luck. What if it happens, then the huge Xu Mansion belongs to my own family? If I don't get lucky, I can only give up.
Only the Lu Mansion and the Liang Mansion probably felt that they were on equal terms with the Xu Mansion, and their willingness to find a matchmaker to propose marriage had given the Xu Mansion enough face. Otherwise, an orphan girl would not be able to bully her as much as she wanted. They wanted to show their face, Xu
But the government refused with such a reason. Isn’t it shameful?
The two families were furious, so they paid to hire a group of women who were good at making troubles and gathered in front of Xu's house to curse. The curses were very unpleasant.
When the housekeeper heard that Xu Xingdaoming was passing by, he was so angry that he came out to chase him away.
After the mothers received the money, they naturally refused to leave until they had completed the tasks assigned by their employers. What if they wanted to take the money back after leaving?
So he just stayed on the floor and said all kinds of dirty words.
The old housekeeper was angry and anxious, worried that it would be bad for the girl's reputation if the news spread, so he explained to the crowd of spectators:
"These shrews who come from nowhere are slandering my girl. My girl has been a mourner for the master and his wife for three years. She just gave birth to her filial piety at the beginning of this year. She has not yet considered life-long matters. These people always say that my girl has a romantic interest.
It’s so deceiving!”
These women shouted: "Don't listen to him. He is a servant of the Xu Mansion, so he naturally speaks good things for the Xu Mansion. If there is really no matchmaker, how come the matchmaker sends them away as soon as they come to the door? Those who came to propose marriage.
But they all come with good intentions and sincerity.”
The housekeeper glared at them and said to the onlookers: "To tell you the truth, the girl is the only master in the house now. The girl decided to raise a bride to support the family. None of the families who came to propose marriage were willing to marry. How can you blame my girl?
On the head?"
The passers-by onlookers nodded:
"That's true! Miss Xu is the only master left in Xu Mansion. If she gets married, it will be awkward to have no master in the future house! Could it be that the family business and incense of our ancestors are just cut off before our eyes?"
"If it were me, I would hire a wife. If you have money, why would you marry into your husband's family and suffer the consequences? How many good mothers-in-law are there in the world? They are all bad mothers-in-law who have been married for thirty years. They think about teasing their daughter-in-law all day long."
"That's right! Isn't it good to recruit a son-in-law and be the master of the family?"
Seeing the passers-by on one side speaking for Xu Mansion, several employed women saw that something was wrong, clapped their thighs and shouted:
"Nonsense! How can anyone be willing to be a son-in-law to the Xu family just by recruiting a bride? But ask this old man, is this what he said to the matchmaker? He also made many requests that no one can fulfill."
Passers-by asked the housekeeper if he had any other requests.
The housekeeper proudly puffed up his chest and said, "My girl has a good heart, outstanding talents, and unparalleled appearance. What's the matter with making a few requests for a wife? A girl is kind-hearted, so she naturally asks for good character; a girl is talented and beautiful, so she naturally asks for even the most
Even if you are not a talented person, you must not be illiterate, and even if you are not a good-looking man, you must not be too ugly. A girl inherits the property of her ancestors on her own, and naturally she does not want to find a libertine who is incompetent and just takes advantage of the family's wealth. These requirements are handled by the host who hired you.
If you can’t do it, it doesn’t mean that no good man in this world can do it!”
"well said!"
A drunken white-haired old man squeezed out of the crowd, holding a large wine gourd in his arms and giving a thumbs up to the butler.
"There are many young, promising, handsome and handsome men in this world. I have one at my knees. Come on, come on! I will sign up for my apprentice who is as beautiful as a tree and has strong martial arts skills."
The housekeeper didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Big brother, are you drunk? Our house is recruiting a son-in-law, not a nursing home."
"Hi! They're all the same." The old man burped, insisting on signing up for his apprentice to be the son-in-law of the Xu family.
