Chapter 33 Marriage Proposal
(The editor informed me that this book will be on the shelves next month. Can you save a little pink piece this month and support it next month? I will give you more rewards! o(n_n)o)
Suddenly, half a month has passed, the flowers have passed, and the Qingming Festival is approaching. From time to time, there will be a spring rain, and the temperature will fluctuate. I have taken off the big cotton-padded jacket on my body, but I still need to add an extra layer of jacket or something, so that the beauty-loving girl can
Worrying endlessly.
The weather was fine today. Seeing that it was time to wear spring clothes, Miss Cui Qi impatiently opened the box. Unfortunately, the new clothes made last year were not pleasing to the eye this year. She just wanted to go there again.
It would be better to make a few new ones.
It's just that she hasn't grown any taller in the past two years, and she has no excuse for wanting to wear new clothes. She was thinking about how to dig holes in the clothes to make them look like moths, when she heard her little cousin Cui Lin clapping her hands happily in the courtyard.
call,
"The swallows are here! Brother, come and see, our little swallow has flown back again!"
Soon, Cui Yan, the youngest in the family, also shouted happily "Yanyanyanyan" in the yard. The sound of a child squeezing milk was already high-pitched and loud, but it was even more harsh when it fell on the ears of a caring person.
"What's so good about a broken swallow? It comes here every year and makes a lot of noise!" Cui Qi was feeling unhappy about the clothes. At this moment, he threw down his old shirt and rushed out, grabbed the long pole by the door to dry clothes, and started hanging clothes.
Go poke that old little swallow's nest.
"No poking!" Little Cui Lin became anxious and pounced on her like a little hen. Even Cui Yan, who had just walked steadily, screamed "badly" and tried to stop him.
Seeing his brother and sister crying, Cui Qi became more and more angry and pushed them down at once, "I just want to stab him! How about it?"
Today, there happened to be no one at home. Cui Lin and Cui Yan were still young. They were bullied so much that they cried. Then they saw the bamboo pole pierced the swallow's nest in three or two strokes. The little bird was so startled that it chirped and flew away in an instant.
I cried even more sadly.
"What are you doing?" Aunt Fang just came back from shopping for groceries. She was startled when she opened the door and took a look. She hurriedly took the long pole out of Cui Qi's hand and said hurriedly, "No matter how angry the girl is, why are you talking to a bird?"
Qi? It’s a blessing to have swallows coming. Others don’t even think about it, so why do they chase them away?”
"Bullshit!" Cui Qi was about to curse a few words when he suddenly saw a horse coming up the street outside the door. Immediately sitting upright was a young gentleman, wearing a brand new lake blue floral brocade robe and a silver gray satin with Baoxiang pattern.
His cloak and looming belt were adorned with a piece of emerald. His whole body exuded an aura of wealth, and he walked forward majestically.
Cui Qi's heart was moved, where did this person come from? Why did he seem to be richer than his cousin? She immediately put down the long pole and hid lightly by the door to look around.
Aunt Fang was in a hurry to appease Cui Lin and Cui Yan, so she had no time to pay attention to her. Cui Qi half-opened the door and took a closer look. She saw that the young master was followed by two cars, which looked very luxurious.
There were about a dozen servants following on foot below, making quite a splash.
When they arrived in front of the Song Family Restaurant, the young master in front stopped, turned back, and extended his hand to the car.
Cui Qi suddenly became jealous, wishing that the woman would fall flat on her face.
Unexpectedly, he came down so steadily, wearing the same new shirt, and his head full of pearls dazzled under the bright spring sun.
Cui Qi was so filled with hatred that she couldn't express it, but she saw that the woman seemed to be feeling something, and suddenly turned her head, looking at Cui Qi squarely.
Cui Qi was surprised at first, then suddenly felt happy.
Because when the woman turned her head, she saw clearly that she was a middle-aged woman, and her face was quite similar to that of the young master. She thought she was a mother and son. At this moment, she suddenly remembered that it was really uncomfortable to look at people like this.
Ya, quickly lower your head and feel so shy.
It's a pity that her good expression was wasted, but she turned around and entered the restaurant, muttering, "Which girl is she from? How rude!"
Mrs. Song, the owner of the restaurant, rushed over and only listened to the young man's instructions, "If there is a clean room, clean it quickly, prepare hot water, and ask my mother to go up and have a rest. Bring the best tea and snacks, don't bring any mess."
Something to be scolded."
Seeing that he was a high-profile guest, Aunt Song didn't dare to neglect her. She ate downstairs in the restaurant and had accommodation upstairs. She quickly asked the waiter to clean the room and send the person up herself.
Miss Cui Qi couldn't see anyone down there, so she was scratching her head and couldn't feel at peace. And the distinguished guests above couldn't feel at peace either after they settled down.
The door is closed and there are no outsiders.
The young man pestered his mother like a candy cane, "Mom, you've already come here, go and meet her. I promise you will like her when you see her."
"No!" The lady was obviously a little annoyed, "I just said that you are so diligent and willing to accompany me to visit grandpa's grave. It turned out that this was your idea. This marriage was made by your grandpa in a moment of confusion.
Neither your father nor I agree, why are you rushing to get in here before it’s too late to hide?"
The young master was no longer happy and said, "You also know that I am engaged? Then why are you still trying to get me together with someone else?"
The lady suddenly became angry, "My co-owner, Miss Yao, is not as good as a tofu seller? If this marriage is successful, let's keep it high!"
"Since she is a high-ranking woman, let's not get married! Isn't this a good deal that grandpa ordered? They are both business people. I don't dislike her, and she won't dislike me."
"Hey! How can a pauper who sells tofu compare with our family? That girl doesn't even have a father, so she's not sure where she came from! It means your grandfather has lost his mind, so he decided to arrange this marriage."
"Everything has its own consequences, right? No matter how bad the Mu family is, it was my grandfather who arranged the marriage first. You can't just ask me to cancel the engagement while my grandfather is sick, right?"
The lady patiently explained, "It's not that we are unethical. You are your biological son, so how can we not plan everything for you? You see, your father and I have already prepared two hundred taels of silver. Why?"
Isn’t that girl’s glamor enough to marry into a good family? To put it bluntly, you can buy ten slaves and beat them to death, which is the price.”
The young master was annoyed again, "Money, money, money, you only have money in your eyes! Do you think people care about your money? Sister Mu is not that kind of person!"
The lady laughed angrily, "You have only met her once, how do you know what kind of person she is? Believe it or not, now you change your name, spend a lot of money, and say you want to marry her, she will definitely do it."
You have to agree!"
"impossible!"
"Your mother eats more salt than you eat rice. Who hasn't seen her? If you hadn't seen you dressed like a five-year-old that day, do you think she would have helped you? Wasn't it just a few tens of pennies? What a loss.
You fool, you gave me such a good piece of jade. Well, just in time, now that you are here, ask someone to get the jade pendant back. It is the best piece of jade in the family, and I will use it to propose marriage to you in the future.
"
This young man, whom Cui Qi had forgotten to look like, was her fiancé Hou Fangyu, whom she had met once on the Lantern Festival night.
After listening to his mother's words, Hou Fangyu became angry, "Mom, let's take a gamble. I will change my name to coax her. If she changes her mind, I will let you break off the engagement. But if she doesn't change her mind, you guys
Just obey me and let me marry her!"
Mrs. Hou snorted coldly, but did not give an accurate answer. She only said, "This is your own bet. Don't blame us for being ruthless later. I will ask your uncle to come in and bring enough money to accompany you on this trip."
!”
Finally, Miss Cui Qi, who was restless at home, saw the young man come out again. He stood in front of the restaurant and waited for the servants to bring the horse from the backyard, as if he was about to go out. Only then did Cui Qi think about how to inquire about that man.
However, I saw that my uncle and aunt had already returned in the car driven by Mo Yun.
Uncle Cui is very happy today.
On the day of Lantern Festival, Cui Heng was stimulated by praying for blessings. He carefully made a painting and quietly asked his cousin to send a painting to Mr. Ni Taiyu through Mr. Wu. Unexpectedly, Mr. Ni fell in love with it at first sight.
I want to meet this friend.
Mr. Ni is a famous contemporary calligrapher and painter. Uncle Cui has heard of his name for a long time and wishes he had never met him. Now that he saw that he wanted to accept his son as his disciple without charging tuition, he packed his son's bags and spent a morning with Aunt Cui.
He sent Cui Heng to a dock more than ten miles away and asked Uncle Fang to accompany him before returning home.
When he arrived at the door of the house and unloaded the Cui family's car, Mo Yun smiled naively, "Uncle Fang is not at home. Is there any heavy work you want me to do, chopping wood and carrying water?"
Aunt Cui quickly said no, and wanted to reward him with money. But Mo Yun refused to accept it, and took Young Master Ouyang's horse away.
At this time, the young master happened to be riding over. Miss Cui Qi rolled her eyes, took out a few fish skin peanuts from her purse, sprinkled them at Mo Yun's feet, and decided to take a gamble!
Because the shell of the fish skin and peanut was hard, round and slippery, Mo Yun slipped when he stepped on it and fell down, just in time to stop the young man behind him.
"Sir, be careful!" Miss Cui Qi cried softly, bravely jumped out, and even fell down gracefully.
Unexpectedly, the young master not only did not show mercy to her, but also thanked her for reminding her. Instead, he almost hit her with a whip, "You are sick! What do you want to do when you rush out?"
Uncle Cui was still at the door and did not go in. He did not see what happened clearly and said angrily, "Master, my niece kindly reminded me, why do you blame her instead?"
Hou Fangyu pointed at the fish-skin peanuts on the ground and said angrily, "Do you think I'm blind? She was obviously the one who spread these things out, causing the guy in front of me to fall, so why did it turn out to be her good intention? I think you still look like this
You are a scholar, why are you so unreasonable? Oh! I understand, your family is actually a trap, trying to cheat me out of my money, right? Stop dreaming, I will not be fooled!"
After hearing this, Uncle Cui almost fainted. He turned around and asked Cui Qi angrily, "Did you do this?"
Cui Qi was so frightened that her face almost turned pale. She had just bought the fish skin peanuts from the seller yesterday, so she couldn't hide it from anyone. So she had to pretend to wipe away her tears and said, "I, I didn't mean it, it was just my hand that slipped..."
…”
Aunt Cui was so ashamed that she went in with her face hidden, not wanting to deal with this mess at all.
Uncle Cui was so stunned that he almost vomited blood, but he had to step forward to apologize, "Please be kind to me, my niece just made a mistake for a moment, not intentionally. Aunt Fang, why don't you help the eldest girl in quickly?"
Seeing that Uncle Cui was being reasonable, Hou Fangyu didn't pursue the matter, just said it was bad luck and took the people away.
After the door was closed, Aunt Cui couldn't help but burst into tears.
A girl from a scholarly family seduces young men on the street and is called a backdoor trap. How shameless is this family? Will her children get married in the future?
Uncle Cui was also trembling with anger. Cui Qi saw that the situation was not good, but she did not dare to show off as usual and hid in the room early.
Uncle Cui thought about it for a long time, and finally stamped his foot and said cruelly, "That's it, the girl won't be admitted to the university. I will lose face and go to Ouyang's house to propose marriage for her!" [e="There is a Fresh Wife at Home"]
