"I understand. I will ask your Aunt Zhu when I get back. If she has this intention, I will make the decision for them!" Chu Yiqing nodded.
Hua Qi was overjoyed and said quickly: "Thank you Aunt Chu. Don't worry Aunt Chu. Qi'er and Lin'er will respect Aunt Zhu and Uncle Shan from now on!"
Chu Yiqing nodded and said with a smile: "You have really grown up! Speaking of marriage, you seem to be sixteen. It's time to talk about marriage. When your grandfather left, he entrusted you and Lin'er to me. Of course I
I want to make the decision for you. If you have a girl you like, just tell me. I am not that pedantic person. As long as you like it, I will not object. If not, then I will make the decision for you to see. Do you like it?
?”
Hua Qi's face turned red and she whispered: "Aunt Chu, Qi'er wants to study first and then get married!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Being a family doesn't hinder your studies. When you become a family, this flower house also has a new mistress. From now on, you will have someone to take care of your food and daily life, so your Aunt Zhu and I won't have to worry!"
Hua Qi lowered her head in embarrassment, and finally had to say: "Then it's all up to Aunt Chu!"
Chu Yiqing nodded and began to think about what kind of wife he would find for Hua Qi.
When he returned to Chu Mansion from Hua Mansion, he happened to meet Shan Qin. Chu Yiqing called her to the small pavilion in the garden and asked with a smile: "How are you doing these days, Mrs. Zhu family? I'm busy these days."
, I didn’t care about her, but I let you worry about it!”
"Miss, you're welcome, this is our job! Thanks to Mr. Zhu's strong body, and Miss Lingdang's leg is fine, Mr. Zhu has no worries in his heart, and his health is getting better quickly!" Shan Qin
He said quickly.
"What about Mr. Shan? Is it better?" Chu Yiqing asked with a smile.
"I just went to see Mr. Zhu this morning. The second brother is also very good. His two cousins are taking care of him and they are more dedicated than anyone else. This is all because of the kindness of the young lady!" said Shan Qin with a smile.
Chu Yiqing nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that you are Brother Shan's biological son? Is that right?"
Shan Qin smiled and said: "Yes, the one who is the eldest and second child in my family, oh, the second child has a big name, his name is Shan Yu, he is the second child!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "In that case, I'm telling you that I'm right. I think Manager Shan is already quite old, and it's time to get married!"
Shan Qin immediately said: "Isn't it? These days, his two cousins are in the house, talking about this matter. A few days ago, the fourth sister Shan also asked a cousin from her mother's family to come to the city to play. I
Judging from that, he must want the two of them to look at each other, but the second brother has no such intention. To be honest with Miss Zhu, the second brother has someone in his heart, but..."
Shan Qin lowered his head, unable to say anything.
"Just what?" Chu Yiqing asked deliberately.
"It's just that the other party doesn't care about him, so he's wasting his time like this!" Shan Qin said with an embarrassed smile.
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "While I'm here, I want to announce my marriage to Brother Shan. You and the wife of the Zhu family have been here for a long time. You can discuss it with her and see if there is a girl who knows the truth and brings her over."
Let me see, I will make the decision for Brother Shan!"
Shan Qin was startled, she felt happy and worried at the same time. She was happy that the young lady was willing to make the decision for the second son, so this marriage must be a good one. But she was worried about Mrs. Zhu. She always felt that Mrs. Zhu and Shan Lao Er were not together.
Together they are the best match!
"Then I'll first thank you, Miss, for my second brother!" Shan Qin said, and withdrew with complicated thoughts.
In Zhu's room, Zhu was lying bored, her mind constantly replaying the scene where Shan Laoer rushed in without hesitation, but thinking about Shan Laoer's attitude now, she couldn't help but sigh.
Shan Qin walked into the room slowly, looked up at Zhu who was bored, hesitated for a moment, and didn't know how to speak.
"Sister, what's the matter?" Mrs. Zhu raised her eyes and looked at her, leaning sideways to sit up.
Shan Qin quickly stepped forward to support her and stuffed the pillow behind her. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "The young lady called me just now and said she wanted to find a wife for my second son!"
Zhu was startled, her face turned pale, and she raised her eyes to look at Shan Qin, "Finding a wife for Brother Shan?"
Shan Qin nodded, "Speaking of which, the second child is already in his late twenties, so he is indeed quite young. The second mother died early. My father-in-law, who was the village chief in recent years, was also anxious and found someone to rush the second child.
, but the second child just doesn’t listen. You also know that he has been thinking about you in his heart. I think, Ling Dang, I am just saying this for your own good after all these years. The second child is a good person and will not let you down.
Yes, if you are serious about it, just take this opportunity to be with the second child. Don’t worry, Miss. If you feel thin-skinned, I will tell you for you! If you really have no intention of remarrying and want to live your life holding the bell.
, I will take this opportunity to completely give up the idea of having my second child, so that he will not have to worry about you being single and the whole family worrying!"
Mrs. Zhu clenched her hands and bit her lip, feeling very conflicted.
When Shan Qin saw that she didn't answer for a long time, she raised her face. When she saw her hesitation, she suddenly became happy and said, "Ms. Ling Dang, don't you think so too?"
Zhu's answer was "no", and it was "no" if she didn't answer. She was married to two men, so how could she say such shameless words?
"Okay, okay, I know what you mean. I'll tell the lady right now and let her make the decision for you!" Shan Qin said happily and hurried out.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry!" Zhu quickly stopped her, "I don't know what Brother Shan thinks. What if..."
"What can he think? It's too late for him to be happy!" Shan Qin said firmly, "Don't worry, who in this house doesn't know what the second child thinks about you? Just wait to hear the good news!"
Mrs. Zhu still called her and said: "Sir, you'd better ask Brother Shan first, so as not to make a joke!"
Shan Qin insisted: "Don't worry, my brothers don't know yet?"
Shan Qin said and went out happily.
Mrs. Zhu called her several times, but no one answered, so she sighed.
What should I do if Shan Lao Er doesn’t agree?
In the garden, before Chu Yiqing left, Shan Qin ran over happily and said with a smile: "Miss, I am very happy that the second child's marriage has been settled!"
Chu Yiqing knew it well, so he smiled and asked: "So fast? Which girl is she from?"
Shan Qin smiled and said: "It's none other than Lady Lingdang. Miss, I told you before that the woman I'm thinking about is Lady Lingdang! When I went back just now, I saw something wrong with Lady Lingdang's expression.
It seems that Ling Dang is also single in her heart, but you also know that Ling Dang has been married before and still has a bell with her. This second child has never been married. Ling Dang can’t get over this hurdle, but let me tell you.
, this life is for two people, as long as they are in love, it will be fine, and my father-in-law is not an unenlightened person. Besides, you are the one who makes the decision, young lady, who dares to say no?"
Chu Yiqing nodded and said with a smile: "This is a happy event. In this way, you go and talk to Shan Lao Er. When the day comes, let Er Er's father come and find a matchmaker to settle this matter as soon as possible.
Come on!"
Shan Qin quickly nodded.
In the room, when Shan Laoer heard that Chu Yiqing wanted to make the decision for him and Zhu, his eyes suddenly widened and he asked: "Sir, did Ling Dang mother agree?"
Shan Qin was overjoyed at this moment. She was the one who caused this incident. She sat down on the chair in front of the bed and said, "Don't worry, Ling Dang is thinking about you too. It's just that her current status makes it hard for her to speak. Now
With the young lady making the decision, no one is afraid! I’ll go to my father’s place and tell him!”
Shan Laoer hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, I can't marry Bell Lady!"
Shan Qin was stunned, sat up from the chair, and asked in shock: "Did you say that?"
Shan Laoer whispered: "I said I can't marry Bell Girl!"
"Second brother, what are you talking about? Didn't you like Lingdang Mother very much before? For Lingdang Mother, my father asked you to look at the girls, but you didn't look at any of them, and your fourth sister's cousin, you also quit.
Now that the matter has finally come to light, and now that it’s done, why are you saying this again? Could it be that you dislike Ling Dang’s wife for being married to someone before?”
Shan Laoer quickly raised his face and said: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Have I ever disliked Lady Lingdang? Lady Lingdang is now the popular person in front of the lady. Lingdang is the cousin. When it comes to identity, it's me."
She has surpassed others! I can't marry her because I can't protect them. Look at me, after practicing for so many years, I still have no strength. This time, I haven't even fought with anyone, and I was beaten to the ground.
It's down, in my heart..."
"What do you think it is? You are a scholar, so what does it matter if you don't know martial arts? Besides, this is a special situation. The gangster is so good at martial arts that even the guards in the house can't beat him. How can you beat him?" Shan
Qin didn't think so.
Shan Laoer shook his head and whispered: "Sister, I will personally apologize to the young lady and Ling Dang Niang for this matter, I..."
"If you want to plead guilty, you are asking for it from the lady, you can't tell me!" Suddenly, Zhu's voice sounded outside.
Shan Laoer was startled and quickly looked up, and saw Mrs. Zhu standing outside the door, holding the door frame with both hands. There was no one around her. It seemed that she had walked over by herself.
"Ms. Lingdang, did you come out on your own?" Shan Qin quickly stepped forward, supported her, looked back at Shan Laoer reproachfully, and whispered: "Second brother just couldn't think about it for the moment, don't take it to heart.
!”
Mrs. Zhu shook her head coldly, "I don't take it seriously!" After saying that, she turned around and wanted to leave.
Shan Lao Er was startled and seemed to have something to say, but he could not say anything while guarding Shan Qin.
"Well, Madam Lingdang, you are tired from walking all the way. Don't show off if you are not feeling well. Why don't you take a rest first and go in to drink a bowl of water!" Seeing this, Mrs. Shan Qin helped Zhu and went in without saying a word.
Sit down.
Mrs. Zhu was startled, but before she could say anything, Mrs. Shan Qin quickly walked out of the door. After a while, her distant voice came from outside the door: "Just say what you have to say. Once you talk, everything will be fine!"
Zhu turned around, looked up at Shan Laoer, bit her lip, but still couldn't speak.
Everyone has rejected this marriage, what else is there to say?
Shan Laoer hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Ms. Lingdang, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I feel that I can't protect you. If you follow me, I'm afraid of hurting you and Lingdang!"
Zhu suddenly sneered and said: "I see what you said is exactly the opposite. That person is targeting me and Lingdang. You can't protect us, so why did you harm us? It was us who got you involved!"
We, the troublemakers, didn't say anything, but you, the protectors, acted pretentious first! Shan Yu, I'm not a big girl anymore, and I won't be as reserved as a big girl. Now that everything has happened, everyone is looking at it.
Wait, if you are willing, we will get married. If you are not willing, I will not force it. I had no intention of getting married in the first place. I just raised Ling Ding in my life! Originally, I felt good about it, but you just came.
Provoked me, you provoked me, and when my heart moved, you actually retreated, how could you..."
Shan Lao Er was startled, his face turned pale at Zhu's words, but he quickly caught a message, that is, Ling Dang Niang now has him in her heart!
Mrs. Zhu suddenly closed her mouth. After a long time, she whispered: "You just marry me!"
Shan Lao Er was startled and burst into laughter. He just liked Ling Dang's straightforwardness. This is the real charm of Lucheng women!
The next day, after receiving the news, Old Shan invited a matchmaker in the village to propose marriage with gifts. The marriage between Ling Dang Niang and Shan Lao Er was thus decided, and they planned to wait for a few months for their injuries to recover.
Just get married.
Lady Ling Dang was getting married, so naturally Chu Yiqing couldn't treat her poorly. On this day, she called Lady Ling Dang to the room.
Lady Lingdang sat down in front of Chu Yiqing, bowed slightly and said: "Miss, my body is not clean yet, so I won't be polite and thank you, but in my heart..."
"Okay, stop using the polite words, I know it! Now that you have a good home, I'm happy too! This is a house in the east of the city, not far from the Chu Mansion. If you want to after getting married, you can
If you don't want to live there, just rent out the house and collect rent every month. This can also be regarded as the dowry I prepared for you!" Chu Yiqing said, placing the house deed and land deed in front of Ling Dang.
Lingdang was startled, then quickly waved her hand and said: "Miss, you treat us mother and daughter well on weekdays. Not to mention I have one or two silver coins this month, Lingdang has been studying. We, mother and daughter, are already satisfied. Where else can we ask for more?"
Miss’s stuff?”
Chu Yiqing put the house deed and land deed into Ling Dang's mother's hands: "This is your dowry, you must hold it! Shan Yu's father and wife both like you, and they won't say anything, but this Shan's family
There are other relatives, such as the fourth sister Shan. You already have a child. If you don’t have a dowry, you will be bullied by your parents’ family! This house is not small, and it is considered your money, so you can keep it!
"
Lady Lingdang was startled, and her eyes suddenly became moist. She nodded and choked with sobs: "Miss, please treat our mother and daughter..."
"Look, this is a good thing, why are you crying!" Chu Yiqing smiled and scolded, "If you want to thank me, just live a good life with Shan Yu in the future!"
Bell Girl nodded quickly.
Chu Yiqing patted her hand gently, smiled, and finally let go of her worries.
The matter of Lady Ling Dang was settled, and Chu Yiqing was busy with Hua Qi's marriage. Ever since the letter was sent out that day, all the wealthy families in Lucheng were ready to make a move, and they all asked matchmakers to come to their homes, just because people
There were too many, and Chu Yiqing couldn't cope with them, so he asked Yingqian to register them first. She slowly looked at the conditions and horoscopes, picked out eight good ones, and then slowly made appointments with the matchmakers.
Li Huang has been going out early and coming back late these days, because Chu Yiqing didn't ask him about the division of labor last time. When he got up this day, he saw that he hadn't left yet, so he rested his lazy body on his back.
He said lazily: "Are you going to do your big things again today?"
Li Huang chuckled, turned around, hugged her, and asked, "How is Hua Qi's marriage?"
"You go out early and come back late all day long, and you actually know what I'm busy with? I don't know what you're busy with. Isn't it unfair?" Chu Yiqing smiled lightly, squinting at him, but his eyes were dark.
Li Huang gently combed her hair with his fingers and whispered: "You will know in a few days, just don't worry, I can handle everything!"
Chu Yiqing nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then you can go about your big business. I made an appointment with the matchmaker today to see the portraits of those women!"
Li Huang nodded and stood up. Ying Qian had already been waiting outside when she heard the noise, and now she quickly stepped forward to serve Li Huang.
After Li Huang left, Ying Qian couldn't help but said to Chu Yiqing: "Since Miss wants to know what I am busy with, why not let Ying Qian go find out!"
Chu Yiqing shook his head and whispered: "Since he doesn't want to tell me, he has his own reasons for not wanting to tell me. Besides, I also enjoy this feeling now. He is protecting me!"
Yingqian sighed: "Young lady has a big heart. This time Lei Yuan left without saying a word, I have been thinking about it all the time. How could you be so calm like this young lady!"
Chu Yiqing smiled faintly and said, "I asked you to make an appointment with the matchmaker yesterday. Is it settled?"
"We have made an appointment, don't worry, miss, they will be waiting in the flower hall early in the morning!" Yingqian said quickly.
"Come together? Didn't I ask you to separate them?" Chu Yiqing frowned.
"When the servant notified them, they separated the time, but for some reason, they all came early. There is nothing that can be done to stop them!" Yingqian complained.
Chu Yiqing sighed: "It's so lively now!"
In the flower hall, the eight matchmakers had already begun to argue with each other, and they were about to take action. Chu Yiqing was no longer in the mood to eat because of the noise, so he quickly asked Ying Qian to bring them one by one and deal with them one by one.
"Mrs. Li, this is the portrait of our Miss Wu. Look, it's really beautiful. This Wu family is a brave family, and Miss Wu's grandfather even served as a general!" The first one to come in was Matchmaker Yu.
As soon as he entered the door, he showed the woman's portrait to Chu Yiqing, and then listed the advantages of Miss Wu in detail. She was proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and said that the woman was in heaven and on earth.
Chu Yiqing felt his head tingle after hearing this. He quickly asked the matchmaker to put down the portrait and asked her to go out and wait.
The matchmakers from behind came in one by one, and they all said those words. Chu Yiqing had a headache. After asking them to leave, after thinking for a long time, he suddenly had an idea and came up with a math problem and asked Ying Qian to give it to those matchmakers.
Matchmaker, let the matchmaker take it back and let the ladies of the world answer it. It is agreed that the answer will be returned in three days.
The matchmakers took the question and whispered among themselves, saying that the way of selecting the mistress of the house was novel, but now there was no good way, so they had to put the question away and take it back, hoping that the girl in their hands could answer it.
Hua Lin has been following Chu Yiqing since she started choosing a wife for Hua Qi. However, she made an agreement with Chu Yiqing in advance that she would only watch and not cause trouble, so she kept her mouth tightly closed along the way, but every time
After each return, Hua Qi would be informed of the progress, although Hua Qi didn't seem very keen.
"Brother, I have brought all the portraits of my sisters. Do you want to take a look? They are all beautiful!" This time, Hua Lin sneakily carried a stack of scrolls into the study.
Hua Qi was settling accounts and said without even raising his head: "These portraits have been beautified by the painter, it's useless to look at them!"
Hua Lin was startled, then sighed and said, "That's true, they are all as beautiful as gods, and you can't tell the difference!"
Hua Qi then raised his head and said with a smile: "So, there's no need to look! The fate between this person is determined by God, and that person will appear sooner or later!"
Hua Lin suddenly blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Does it look like me and Ah Bao? When I first saw Ah Bao, I felt that I liked Ah Bao very much!"
Hua Qi paused and whispered: "Lin'er, do you really like Chu Yi that much?"
Hua Lin nodded and said seriously: "I told Aunt Chu and my uncle that I will marry A Bao in the future!"
Hua Qi sighed, "But as far as I know, Chu Yi doesn't seem to like you very much. Was it because of this incident that you were sad and angry last time?"
Hua Lin bit her lip, lowered her eyes, and stopped talking.
"Although Chu Yi is young, he is shrewd and wise. What's more, he has a special status and has an unlimited future. If you insist on liking him, I'm afraid you will be the one who gets hurt!" Hua Qi said earnestly.
Hua Lin was startled, "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Hua Qi sighed and couldn't help but touch Hua Lin's black hair and whispered: "Forget it, you are still young now. You may change your mind in a few years. I'd better worry about myself!"
Hua Lin said enthusiastically: "I won't change my mind, I just like Abao!"
Hua Qi couldn't help but sigh.
While Chu Yiqing was waiting for the eight ladies to answer questions, a man suddenly came from the capital, claiming to be an old friend of Mr. Hua, and wanted to meet Chu Yiqing and Hua Qi.
When Mr. Hua passed away, old friends from Ducheng and Mr. Hua's relatives came to make a big fuss. Since then, Hua Mansion has almost lost contact with Ducheng. It is really strange that an old friend suddenly appears. Chu
As soon as it was clear, someone invited the man in.
The visitor was in his fifties, with a slim build and dressed in a green shirt. He was accompanied by Cheng Zhi, the prefect of Lucheng. Judging from their expressions, they seemed to be familiar with each other already.
"It turns out that Mr. Cheng is also here, and the servant didn't report it, which is really rude!" Chu Yiqing stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Miss Chu... oh no, I should call you Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li is too polite. This time I am just accompanying my mentor, and I don't dare to overwhelm the guest!" Cheng Zhi said quickly, expressing great respect for the person coming from the capital.
Awe.
"I have heard of Mrs. Li's reputation a long time ago, and I have long wanted to come and chat with her, but I have been burdened by my reputation and have never had the chance to come. Today I finally have the chance to meet you, which is very comforting!" The old man was polite, but
Amid the politeness, there was an air of pride.
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "I wonder what you call Mr. Hua? What is your relationship with Mr. Hua?"
The old man said: "My surname is Yan. I opened a Tianque Academy in the capital. I am a classmate with Mr. Hua. However, since Mr. Hua left the capital, we have no contact again. I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for more than ten years, we are actually separated by heaven and earth."
!”
Cheng Zhi hurriedly explained: "Mrs. Li, Master Yan is also my mentor. My mentor's Tianque Academy was inscribed by the emperor himself. Eighty percent of the officials in the current dynasty came from Tianque Academy! However, Master Yan is a low-key person.
It’s hard to go out on weekdays, and I traveled to Dai Country a few years ago, so I didn’t know the news about Mr. Hua’s death. Master Yan only came back from Dai Country half a year ago, and then he learned about the news of Mr. Hua’s death. He has been visiting him all the time.
But because I have just returned from traveling and there are still many things to report to the court, I only have time today!"
Master Yan waved his hand and said: "You don't have to explain for me. It's because I couldn't help Hua Lao. In the most critical moment, I didn't help Hua Lao, nor did I take care of his young grandson. But Mrs. Li, a female generation, actually did this
I admire you for doing such a benevolent and righteous thing!"
Master Yan said, stood up and bowed to Chu Yiqing.
Seeing Master Yan like this, Chu Yiqing felt a little fond of him, so he said, "Master Yan, you're welcome. Master Yan, sit down for a moment, and I'll ask Hua Qi to come out and meet you!"
Master Yan nodded quickly.
Chu Yiqing told Yingqian to invite Hua Qi.
After a while, Hua Qi came back from the restaurant, entered the hall in high spirits, and first greeted Chu Yiqing and Cheng Zhi.
"Aunt Chu, who is this..." Hua Qi looked at Master Yan respectfully and asked.
"This is your grandfather's best friend during his lifetime, Master Yan from Tianque Academy!" Chu Yiqing said with a smile, "Hurry up and greet Master Yan!"
When Hua Qi heard that it was Tianque Academy, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted Master Yan solemnly, and said excitedly: "So you are Master Yan from Tianque Academy. I heard Master often mention you before, saying that you are knowledgeable and talented. I never thought that I would be lucky enough to meet you today.
, please accept Hua Qi’s worship!”
Master Yan stroked his beard, looked at Hua Qi carefully, nodded and said: "Okay, okay, it seems that I didn't come here in vain today. You do have the demeanor of your grandfather back then!"
Hua Qilian said he didn’t dare to take it seriously.
Master Yan turned to look at Chu Yiqing and said with a smile: "Mrs. Li, let's get straight to the point. In addition to commemorating our old friend, I also want to be a matchmaker for Hua Qi when I come here this time!"
