Zhou Lang hesitated for a moment in the courtyard.
He had sent snacks from Xuanmiao Temple last time. I wonder if she understood.
He hummed again thinking of this.
This woman is the most cunning, how could she not know!
"Ready your horse!" he shouted, raising his head and striding out.
"Why are you here again! My wife is asleep!"
In Yudaiqiao House, Brother Jin pushed the door with his hand and said.
"Why are you sleeping?" Zhou Lang shouted, and he kicked the door with his foot.
The thumping sound attracted all the maids, Banqin, to run out.
"What are you doing here again?" the maid asked with her arms akimbo and eyebrows raised.
"Let me ask you whether my snacks are suitable for you or not!" Zhou Lang shouted angrily.
What an excuse!
"Go and report to the official." The maid simply shouted.
"It doesn't matter. If people want to ask questions, I will answer them."
Cheng Jiaoniang's voice came from inside the house. The maid looked back and saw that she was kneeling in the hall at some point, slowly combing her hair.
Liu Lang did not enter the house, but stood on the porch and looked at Cheng Jiaoniang inside.
"Your father has already made an engagement for you," he said straight to the point.
When these words came out, both the maid and Banqin turned pale with surprise.
"Where is your father?" Cheng Jiaoniang's expression remained unchanged, she put down the comb in her hand and asked.
This means that the Zhou family will never allow the Cheng family to make decisions...
"My father hasn't been found yet." Saturday Lang said with a sullen face.
"I believe he will find someone soon." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
No matter what he said, Zhou Lang could always feel the strong sarcasm and ridicule.
Qin Shisan said that this was his hallucination and he was disturbing himself.
But listen, this is obviously sarcasm! It seems as if the Zhou family covets her!
"It's just that we were meddling in other people's business and ruined the good marriage your good father gave you." Zhou Lang said, sneered, turned around and walked away.
There was a clang on the door, and the three maids in the courtyard looked at each other.
Anyway, this kid doesn't look serious at all.
The maid ignored him and asked Brother Jin to close the door, while sitting down in front of Cheng Jiaoniang.
"Madam, madam, what should I do?" she asked anxiously.
Cheng Jiaoniang continued to comb her hair.
"What should I do?" she asked.
"Oh, it's your marriage." The maid said anxiously, then looked back at the door, "I forgot to ask which family I was talking about."
"It's okay, don't worry, you will always come and tell me." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
That must be….
But that's not what I'm talking about now.
"Madam, aren't you in a hurry?" The maid took a few steps forward and looked at Cheng Jiaoniang and asked.
There is no emotion visible from this woman's face, or in other words, she has no emotions at all?
Cheng Jiaoniang has a large dowry, and the maid also knows that a woman with a large dowry is a strong asset for marriage, but Cheng Jiaoniang's own shortcomings make this dowry a bit of a disaster.
It is a crime to possess a jade, especially for someone who was once a fool.
Getting married is never that easy. The Cheng family must have made a plan for the dowry.
What should I do if the matchmaker tells me about my parents' orders for a marriage?
Cheng Jiaoniang motioned to Banqin to tie up her hair while looking at the maid.
"What's the rush?" she said.
The maid was stunned for a moment.
"Madam, you...are you not angry? The master has found a marriage for you." she asked.
She emphasized the word "master".
Can a father who abandoned his child since childhood still be expected to sincerely care about his child and find a good marriage?
"Shouldn't it be?" Cheng Jiaoniang also blinked at her and asked.
Their eyes met for a moment.
Yes, marriage is an important matter, isn’t it the order of the parents? It should be very...
What else can we do? Helpless people face helpless things...
"This is what should make people anxious. If someone is not good, how will they live their lives..." the maid sighed and said.
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at her and smiled slightly.
"If you haven't lived a day, how can you know whether it is good or not?" she said.
Banqin, who was behind her, pulled Cheng Jiaoniang's long black hair into a bun and inserted a small silver comb into it. She also smiled slightly when she heard this.
How are your days going?
My father is gone, the Taoist temple is burned down, I have no money and nothing, how can I survive as an orphan and a weak servant?
After living the life, I returned home.
The family despises it and rushes to the Taoist temple. From then on, how can the weed be forgotten?
After living a good life, we came to the capital.
Good days, bad days, how to live, and how to live have always been controlled by the lady. What's more, this lady has never lived a good life. It is just a matter of marriage. If you think about it carefully, it is nothing.
.
"Lady, please go and find out which family the master is talking about?" the maid couldn't help but ask.
"There's no rush." Cheng Jiaoniang said with a slight smile, "It won't be too late to ask again after Mr. Cheng and Mr. Zhou have made their choice."
The maid sighed, sat back, looked at the master and servant with peaceful expressions, and finally couldn't help laughing.
"No wonder she wants us to call her Banqin," she said with a smile.
Banqin didn't understand.
"Why?" she asked, tying up the last strand of Cheng Jiaoniang's hair.
The maid looked at her and sighed.
"Because Banqin you are smart and we are too stupid. Madam wants us to learn from you," she said.
Banqin covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Sister Banqin is joking again," she said.
"I'm not kidding. I used to think I was pretty smart, and everyone else said so." The maid said, "But the longer I stay with you, the dumber I feel. I suddenly can't figure out many things."
"Then don't think about it." Banqin straightened Cheng Jiaoniang's blouse, took a few steps back, and said with a smile to the maid.
"Human beings are born with brains. Is it possible that they don't want to do anything?" the maid sighed.
Seeing Cheng Jiaoniang pick up the book, the two of them retreated to the corridor. Brother Jin, who was standing in the yard, laughed when he heard her words.
"Then just ask. If you don't understand, just ask." He said.
The maid nodded.
"Yes, if you don't understand, I have to ask for clarification." She said, reaching out to hold Banqin. Just as she was about to speak, there were two more thumps in her ears.
No way?
Someone is coming again?
The maid looked back, and Brother Jin also turned his head to look for the sound.
Two bang-dong sounds sounded again.
"Here, here."
A male voice sounded at the same time.
Both the maid and Brother Jin looked over, and a young man poked his head out from the wall in the glow.
"Is your wife here?" he asked, stroking the wall and smiling.
It's him again!
The maid stared.
"Not here," she said.
Prince Jin'an frowned.
"You, my servant, don't know how to tell lies." He said, "You just had a guest come to your house, how could the master not be at home?"
"What do you care about, you are not a guest." The maid said angrily, then she raised her feet and walked into the house.
"I am also a visiting guest." King Jin'an shouted loudly, "It's just that I can't walk in."
He said, looking down behind him and making a gesture.
The thumping sound sounded again.
"Look, I knocked on the door," he said.
The maid stomped her feet and was about to enter the hall, but she saw Cheng Jiaoniang walking out.
"Madam, it's that person again." The maid hurriedly said.
Cheng Jiaoniang looked up and saw the Prince of Jin'an County smiling at her.
"I'm here to ask you," he said, "are my snacks okay?"
The maid's eyes widened, what happened today? Has the polite talk in the capital changed to this question now?
"It's okay." Cheng Jiaoniang nodded and said.
"Then do you like to eat?" Prince Jin'an smiled and said, "I will bring you some more."
"No need to go out of your way." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
The prince of Jin'an County said.
"It's just food and drink. Indeed, it adds color if you have it, but it's okay if you don't have it." He nodded and said, looking at Cheng Jiaoniang and smiling, "Hey, who are you, that young man just now?"
Oh, this bastard, who does he think he is? Do you know him well? How could he have the nerve to ask!
The maid stared.
"He's my uncle's brother," Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Prince Jin'an nodded.
"You sounded angry. Did you have a fight?" he asked.
The maid stared again when she heard this.
"No, he came to tell me something." Cheng Jiaoniang replied.
"What's going on?" Prince Jin'an put his arm on the wall and asked curiously.
"Say marriage." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
The maid turned her head and glared at Cheng Jiaoniang again.
Are you really familiar? Can you answer this?
"Really? Which one?" Prince Jin'an leaned against the wall and asked with bright eyes.
"I don't know yet, I don't know which one to decide on," Cheng Jiaoniang said.
The prince of Jin'an County laughed.
"You're pretty awesome. Many people have come to marry you." He smiled.
"It's just that I'm old enough." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Prince Jin'an shook his head.
"That's not necessarily the case," he said. "I'm old enough, so I don't have it."
He smiled as he spoke. This time his smile was different from the cheerful one before, it was a little softer, but this softness combined with these words always made people feel a little sad.
The maid looked at him with a strange expression.
Real or fake?
When you look like this, no one proposes marriage?
Looking at her dress, she is not too poor to afford a wife.
"It's not necessarily good if it's there, and it's not necessarily bad if it's not there." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "We can't decide whether it's there or not. We can decide whether it's good or not."
Prince Jin'an smiled and patted the wall.
"Are you too spoiled for choice?" he asked, "Would you like me to take a look at it for you? I know all the people in the capital."
Looking at a young girl standing on the corridor and another on the wall in the yard, talking freely, the maid couldn't help but sigh again.
Banqin, who had already left and was folding clothes on the corridor, looked over with a questioning look in his eyes.
The maid looked at her relaxed expression and couldn't help but smile.
"I feel like I'm getting more and more confused as I live." She muttered.
Prince Jin'an felt that his idea was very good, his eyes lit up, and he leaned against the wall again.
"If you can't make up your mind, or if it's hard to ask, come and ask me. I'll ask you clearly, and I'll make sure those matchmakers can't deceive you," he said.
"Okay." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "Thank you."
Prince Jin'an waved his hand.
"It's too early to say thank you now. You can thank me later when I can help you find a good match," he said.
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him and smiled slightly.
Prince Jin'an lowered his head and frowned slightly when he heard what the people below him said.
At this time, the glow in the courtyard disappeared, and the night became hazy.
"It's time for me to go." He said to Cheng Jiaoniang.
Brother Jin was lighting up the lights in the courtyard one by one, but the lights made the courtyard even more dim. The figure of the woman standing in the corridor was a little blurry, and her face could not be seen clearly. All she could see was that she bent down and gave a slight salute.
"Cheng Jiaoniang." He thought of something and shouted again.
In the coma, the woman straightened her body and looked at him.
"What's your name?" Prince Jin'an asked, "My name is Fang Bocong."
Fang Bocong.
The maid recited it silently in her mind and quickly searched in her mind for a family named Fang in Beijing.
This surname is so common. There were so many civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty with the surname Fang. Even the royal family had the surname Fang...
"I don't know what my name is." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Prince Jin'an made a sound and nodded. Somehow, these words sounded ridiculous, which made him feel a little sad, a little sad, and a little helpless.
A girl who has been stupid since she was a child doesn't know her own name, or maybe no one gave her a name at all.
The ladder was shaken, and Prince Jin'an held on to the wall.
"It's time to go..."
The guard holding the ladder whispered anxiously.
Yes, it's time to go.
Before it was time to feel free, Prince Jin'an supported the wall.
"I'm leaving," he said. "I'm glad to hear you like the snacks."
Cheng Jiaoniang bowed her head and saluted again, and when she stood up, the young man's figure was no longer on the wall, and the lights in the yard were all lit up, bright and bright.
"Madam, you are not guarded against this person at all." The maid came over and simply expressed her confusion and worry.
"What did I say?" Cheng Jiaoniang looked at her and asked with a smile.
"You told me about your private matters. How can you tell others about things like a kiss?" the maid said.
"Private?" Cheng Jiaoniang smiled, "Do you think if I don't tell him, he won't be able to find out what he wants to know?"
The maid was startled.
The young man said that he was familiar with everyone in the capital. The young man had been asking about them. He knew that they had bought the Chen family's house, and he even called out the wife's nickname just now.
Liu Zhoulang is not an unknown person in Beijing. If you want to know why he is here, no matter how private the matter is, you can always ask if you want to ask.
Think about the conversation between the two just now. Is the snack delicious? It’s delicious. Do you want to say kiss? Yes, let me find out for you. OK. What is your name? I don’t know...
In fact, I didn’t say anything…
They are all meaningless words...
The maid couldn't help but touch her hanging hair.
However, she still felt that something was wrong and her mind was a little confused.
"Oops, I'm really getting more and more confused." She couldn't help but mutter, "It seems that it won't be long before my wife will return me to the old man."
