Magistrate Xia was recovering from snake venom, so he did not drink alcohol, but substituted tea for wine.
Brothers Su Dahu and Su Erhu played the role of pouring wine and tea.
As for the confidants brought by Magistrate Xia and Magistrate Zheng, they opened another table.
So, at the wine table, only two people, Magistrate Zheng and Old Man Su, were heard changing glasses, going back and forth.
"Brother Su, your family is really my noble family." Magistrate Zheng said with emotion: "The locust plague back then was all thanks to your family. Later, you used your own efforts to eliminate the plague for the people, picking off tigers with your gun, and now...
…”
Although Magistrate Zheng was a little drunk, he still knew in his heart that he should not make any noise about the gold mine.
So, he gave old man Su a knowing look and continued: "Fuya happened to save the prefect again today. I won't go into detail about your family's contribution. Come on, I'd like to drink this glass to you, brother!"
"
After Magistrate Zheng finished speaking, he raised his wine glass.
"Your Majesty the County Magistrate..." Old Man Su wanted to be humble.
"Brother Su, you are calling me like this... aren't you a stranger?" Magistrate Zheng was dissatisfied, "What magistrate? With the relationship between our two families, how can you call me so unfamiliar?"
As Magistrate Zheng spoke, he patted Old Man Su on the shoulder and said, "How many years have you grown in comparison with me? From now on I will call you brother, and you will call me brother. We brothers will be of the same mind from now on..."
Old Man Su was also a little drunk. After listening to Magistrate Zheng's words, he laughed with a bright red face.
"Okay! I just like the magistrate, no, it's Brother Zheng's pleasure!"
As Old Man Su said, he picked up the wine glass and said, "Here, I'll give you this glass of wine!"
"You are a brother and I respect you first!"
"So, we two brothers did it together?"
"Dry!"
"Dry!"
Old Man Su and Magistrate Zheng drank it all in one gulp.
Putting down his wine glass, Magistrate Zheng began to get to the point.
"Brother Su, to be honest, I like Fu Ya so much." Magistrate Zheng said sincerely, "You know that boy of mine is also devoted to Fu Ya..."
"The two children are about the same age, and now they are childhood sweethearts... It would be a beautiful thing if our two families become Qin and Jin."
Old man Su, "..."
How do you feel about kidnapping his daughter?
Old Man Su glanced at Magistrate Xia.
Today, his daughter has been abducted once.
Already called someone "Dad".
Even though there was an extra word "gan", he still felt sour in his heart.
Why now, there is another person who wants to be his daughter's "father"?
"Brother, I won't agree if I'm not a brother, but the sugar baby is still young..." Old Man Su thought of euphemistic words.
"Not so young! We brothers are so in love with each other. If we had known each other for a few years earlier, we wouldn't have had to marry our two children." Magistrate Zheng patted Old Su on the shoulder and said loudly and confidently.
Although Old Man Su drank a little too much, his head was still clear.
After thinking about the situation in which my family had been living in poverty, I felt that Magistrate Zheng's words were unreliable.
"Brother, it's not that my brother doesn't agree, it's actually that our two families are too different in family background, and it's not right for us to be in the same family..."
"Why don't you live in the right place?"
Before Old Man Su could finish his words, he was interrupted again by Magistrate Zheng.
After Magistrate Zheng finished speaking, he glanced at Magistrate Xia.
He added: "Fu Ya is now the daughter of the magistrate. If she is not from a good family, it will be our family's fault."
Magistrate Xia narrowed his eyes and said angrily: "That's right! Fuya is my daughter, and she is married to your family, so she is your family's top priority!"
As soon as he recognized his daughter-in-law, someone started trying to rob her.
When Magistrate Xia looked at Magistrate Zheng, he suddenly became very unhappy.
Magistrate Zheng was completely unaware of this.
Although Magistrate Xia's tone was not very good and his words were not polite, he was still very happy.
After all, if the prefect said this, he would not object to this marriage.
"Brother Su, listen, the prefect said so." County Magistrate Zheng said excitedly: "Is it possible... that you don't like that incompetent boy of mine?"
Old Man Su waved his hands quickly, "Of course not."
After all, he is the son of the county magistrate's family. He is also handsome and does not have the bad habits of those playboys from wealthy families.
I have to say that Old Man Su still likes Zheng Yuanzheng very much.
When County Magistrate Zheng heard this, he immediately said: "In this case, if the marriage is settled for the two children, I can't guarantee it for other brothers, but one thing can definitely be done -"
When County Magistrate Zheng said this, he slapped his chest and said, "My wife and I will definitely treat Fuya as our own daughter. As for that boy of mine, if he treats Fuya badly in the future, I will break his legs!"
Old man Su, "..."
He seemed to have no reason to refuse.
And, very emotional.
After a daughter gets married, it is very important for her parents-in-law to love and support her.
When Qian Yuemei heard this outside the door, she beamed with joy.
Look, she guessed it right!
The county magistrate really wants to marry his sister-in-law as his wife.
Qian Yuemei turned around and went to Mrs. Su's house.
Mrs. Su had already finished her meal and was talking to Mr. Tian.
Little Tangbao and Xia Siya were sitting on the kang and turning their heads.
"Mom, it's such a happy event." Qian Yuemei came in with a happy face and opened her mouth to say: "The county magistrate is proposing marriage to father. He wants to give their young master a son and hire his sister to be the wife of the bride."
The little sugar baby's hands shook and he looked at Qian Yuemei in shock.
Did her father promise her out?
She is still a baby!
Both Mrs. Su's and Mrs. Tian's expressions changed.
However, there was no joy on either of their faces.
"Your father agreed?" Mrs. Su asked nervously.
"Not yet, but we should be close to each other." Qian Yuemei said happily.
Tian asked hurriedly: "My master didn't stop him?"
She didn't want to just accept her as her daughter, so she agreed hastily to her.
Although it is said that in Fengqi County, the lintel of the county magistrate's family is the highest.
But her goddaughter was too lowly for a small county magistrate's son.
She also thought about marrying her goddaughter to Fucheng or the capital in the future.
Qian Yuemei shook her head after hearing Tian's words.
Tian's heart sank.
Mrs. Su's heart also sank.
At the same time, I was secretly annoyed with my own man.
She also specifically warned her not to make a marriage arrangement for her daughter early to avoid any misfortune.
What now...
Old Mrs. Su couldn't sit still.
Mrs. Tian couldn't sit still either.
The two looked at each other, stood up and walked out together.
Only then did Qian Yuemei realize that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
I couldn't help but feel a thump in my heart.
The little sugar baby looked at Qian Yuemei and said something.
"Second sister-in-law, thank you."
Thank you for your habit of eavesdropping. You did a good thing today.
Qian Yuemei, "..."
Confused.
Why is my sister-in-law thanking me for no reason?
Xia Siya frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "How can that stupid son of the magistrate's family be worthy of you? Their family really wants to eat swan meat!"
After saying that, he quickly pulled the little sugar baby down from the kang, "Let's go and have a look. We must not let your father promise you out."
