This was in line with Shopkeeper Tian's expectations. While he was still in high spirits, he never thought that Gong Jian would want to marry Miss Tian as soon as he saw her.
Song's mother had never said before that Gong Jian was deeply in love with Miss Tian. Of course, even if Song's mother said it, she, the old housekeeper, or even anyone else would not believe such a thing.
After all, Gong Jian and his lady had just met, but what did he hear? Gong Jian said that as soon as he saw Miss Tian, he identified Miss Tian as his wife. Why is this?
Shopkeeper Tian just stared at Gong Jian blankly, trying to pry open the young man's head in front of him to see how he had such strange thoughts in his mind.
But soon, Shopkeeper Tian realized, why should he be surprised by such a thing? This was obviously in line with his expectations. Gong Jian could have such love at first sight for the young lady, but he couldn't ask for it.
.
So soon, Shopkeeper Tian restrained his thoughts. He also put away the deliberately stern expression on his face just now. Instead, he looked at Gong Jian's eyes seriously and asked him solemnly: "Young man Gong, what are you talking about?"
You didn’t just say it casually. Tell me, are what you said true to your heart?”
Under the urgent gaze of Shopkeeper Tian, Gong Jian did not feel uncomfortable at all. He nodded calmly and seriously. Facing the shopkeeper Tian who respected him, he said with assurance: "Uncle Tian,
Every word I say is from my heart. In fact, I just said these words to my parents yesterday. I just hope they can agree that I want to marry Miss Tian."
This time Shopkeeper Tian was moved. He didn't expect that Gong Jian had already discussed this matter with his parents. He was a little nervous and asked quickly: "Gong Boy, what are your parents' opinions?"
It's rare to see Shopkeeper Tian showing such nervousness. When Gong Jian first saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little funny, but he immediately realized that this matter was a big deal and there was no room for jokes. If he made fun of Shopkeeper Tian now, it would
This person is no longer the loving elder he usually is, but a strict female parent who is reviewing his qualifications.
Of course Gong Jian knew which was more important and which was less important. He nodded quickly and answered Shopkeeper Tian's question seriously: "Uncle Tian, don't worry, my parents have already agreed to this matter."
At this point, Gong Jian also realized that this was a good opportunity for him to express his position. So he quickly said: "Now that we know, Miss Tian is the heir of Tian Ji. Although, we did not expect that Miss Tian's net worth is so high.
It’s huge, but since things are like this, I can only increase my bargaining chip.
Therefore, Uncle Tian, I have to take the scientific examination seriously and study hard. After I have achieved fame, I will propose to marry Miss Tian. At that time, I hope that Uncle Tian can say a few kind words for me."
Gong Jian could see that Shopkeeper Tian's concern for Miss Tian was genuine. Although his behavior was different from that of Mrs. Song yesterday, his sincere love for Miss Tian could still be felt.
Therefore, he should regard Uncle Tian as an elder in Miss Tian's family, and seriously seek his opinion and want his approval.
Shopkeeper Tian sat on the chair and pondered for a while. Although he was still calm on the surface, in fact, he was happy in his heart.
Oops, he just said that he has a unique vision and looks at the candidate he is optimistic about. He is so wise. He has just met his young lady and he has already decided that he will not marry anyone other than his wife.
Without any urging, Gong Jian had already discussed the matter with his parents, obtained their consent, and asked to marry Miss Tian.
And when he learned that Miss Tian's net worth was not in line with his own family, he did not give up or be discouraged. Instead, he tried hard to use other methods to increase his bargaining chip so that people on his side could recognize her as soon as possible.
he.
The shopkeeper kept praising himself in his heart, I am really discerning! After I go back, I must have a good chat about this matter with Song Ma and the old housekeeper. Let them also know that my pair of
Although my eyes are old, they are really not dull at all, and I can see people accurately.
Shopkeeper Tian was happy enough, and he also felt that he had been pretending for long enough. So he softened his tone, returned to his kind elder look, and said to Gong Jian: "Good boy, Uncle Tian didn't
Misjudged you!
But you have to talk about the ugly things first. With your current condition, it is definitely not possible to marry my young lady. I also hope that you can study hard and strive to gain fame as soon as possible. At that time, I can also marry you.
You introduce me to our old boss."
As soon as Gong Jian heard what Shopkeeper Tian said, he knew that he had passed this level safely. He couldn't help but feel happy, and quickly raised his hands to Shopkeeper Tian: "Uncle Tian, thank you. Thank you for trusting me. Don't worry,
I will definitely study hard and strive to be able to marry Miss Tian as soon as possible."
Shopkeeper Tian was of course very satisfied with Gong Jian's assurance. He nodded slightly while stroking his beard.
At this time, Gong Jian's mother invited the two of them to have lunch in Gong Jian's father's room. Since shopkeeper Tian had already met Gong's father, and the two of them had a good conversation, the lunch was simply served in Gong Jian's father's room.
into the palace father's room.
Allowing this nominal head of the family to entertain Shopkeeper Tian is also a sign of respect for Shopkeeper Tian from Gong Jian's family.
Shopkeeper Tian is extremely satisfied with this. This family is so simple and sincere. They always express unreserved gratitude and reward to those who have helped them.
It is because the family tradition of this family is so upright that he can take a fancy to the children raised by their family. Needless to say, Gong Jian's moral character is imperceptible in this family. What is even more rare is that he has outstanding abilities and can
Lead a family out of poverty, support a nearly ruined family, and let their family live a happy and beautiful life.
Shopkeeper Tian felt that he was doing the right thing as a great matchmaker. He hadn't behaved well at Gong Jian's house. Now his mind was full of thinking about how to praise himself in front of the old housekeeper and Song Ma when he went back.
Fan.
You must let them know that you have made great contributions. You must know that the old boss, after so many years of running around the country, has not been able to find a happy wife who satisfies him. (To be continued)
