I have a book of ghosts and gods

Chapter 597 Little Sister Qiu (Seeking Subscription Monthly Pass)

"We have to see how Yao'er decides..."

"Ah? Father!"

Everyone was startled, and just as they were about to persuade him, Old Ru Qiu had already got up and left the study, but he had no choice but to chase after him.

……

"Master Jiang, please stay safe."

Seeing Jiang Zhou again, Old Confucian Qiu was much more polite.

I don't know whether it is because I learned that Jiang Zhou is not what it used to be, or because I am weak now, and my waist is not straight.

But in Jiang Zhou's view, the latter is probably the majority.

Although he had only met this old man a few times and had only dealt with him once, he could roughly see that he was tough and circuitous.

Otherwise, with his fame and ability, he wouldn't live in such a poor and poor life.

The Qiu family's house is not too small, but it is for ordinary people.

As a lecturer at Qiulao Confucianism Hongwen Literature Center, it is really unbelievable to bring this big family together in such a house.

Jiang Zhou didn't show arrogance because of his status, he clasped his fists in return and said, "How is Mr. Qiu?"

Old man Zhang was rubbing his hands aside, looking at Old Ru Qiu with excitement and anticipation on his old face.

The Qiu family and others all glanced at him with disdain, but no one paid any attention to him.

Just looking at Jiang Zhou, like looking at a rare treasure, Jiang Zhou was a little hairy.

On the other hand, Old Confucian Qiu, after greeting Jiang Zhou, endured his unhappiness and clasped his fists at Old Man Zhang, saying, "What I said to Mrs. Wang before, was just a moment of anger and fluff. Make an apology to Mr. Zhang."

Old man Zhang bowed and waved his hands again and again: "Don't dare, Mr. Yuezhang has something to say, but please tell me, my son-in-law will not refuse even if he dies."

Old Confucian Qiu was very displeased: "Mr. Zhang, please don't talk nonsense. I don't deserve this title. My daughter's name is precious. How can I allow you to insult me ​​like this?"

Old man Zhang was in a hurry: "The dowry gift of five hundred guan has been given, Miss Qiu has been rescued, and Mr. Yuezhang's conditions have been fully fulfilled. According to the promise made by Mr. Qiu and Da Lang, Miss Qiu will marry me as my wife. How could it be to tarnish the reputation of the young lady?
"Old man! Don't be shameless!"

Qiu Jia Dalang said angrily: "Let's not talk about how you, a mere old gardener, are worthy of my little sister. You don't even look in the mirror. With such a respectable appearance, half of your body is buried in the soil. Where do you have the courage? Please marry my sister!"

"How can Dalang judge people by their appearance?"

The old man Zhang said seriously: "Although I am an old man in the garden, I can do enough food and clothing for my gardening business. I have a firm heart for your sister. If you marry me, I will definitely not make her tired and make her happy all her life." No worries."

"If you marry into a rich and powerful family, maybe you can eat fish, meat, wine and eat, and wear brocade clothes, but what good is it? Apart from sensuality and labor, there may be all kinds of snobbish hooks and horns, and the flames of sorrow will burn your body. Sober, how can there be happiness?"

"You...! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Qiu Jia Dalang became a little angry from embarrassment.

It's not that he thinks what old man Zhang said is reasonable, it's just that he didn't understand what ghost scriptures the old man was reciting.

"All right."

Old Confucian Qiu interrupted Da'er, looked at Old Man Zhang, and his expression changed a bit: "From what you said, you are not an ordinary gardener, and you have also read poetry and books, but I am disrespectful."

Old man Zhang didn't even dare to say.

Old Confucian Qiu shook his head again and said: "But since you read poetry and books, you should know the important things about marriage. You need to be in the right family, otherwise there will be endless disasters."

"I'm ashamed to say that although I read the books of sages and sages, I am not a sage. Judging people by their appearance is unavoidable, but even so, I will never marry your daughter to you. Mr. Zhang said that it doesn't matter whether I judge people by their appearance or break their promises. Think of it as the old man's selfishness as a parent."

Old man Zhang became anxious when he heard this, and kept rubbing his hands together, saying, "This, this... this is not acceptable! This is wrong, this is wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

Qiu Jia Dalang said angrily: "Since you want to pester me, don't blame me for not saving face for you."

"I have said long ago that whoever can save my sister will marry her to him, but do you dare to say that my little sister was rescued by you, not this Mr. Jiang?"

Old man Zhang's expression froze: "This, this..."

"I can't tell, can I?"

Qiu Jia Dalang sneered and said, "Since the one who rescued my sister was Mr. Jiang, my sister should be betrothed to this Mr. Jiang. What are you pestering here?"

Jiang Zhou was taken aback.

Did he even eat melons on himself?

Seeing that all the Qiu family members in front of him were staring at him with fire in their eyes.

Old Confucian Qiu sat on the chair, covering his face with his sleeves.

Jiang Zhou understood a little bit that he had fallen in love with him.

Seeing that he was silent, a woman came out and said with a smile: "Young Master Jiang, Da Lang has spoken first, and you have rescued the younger sister. This is a destiny destined for heaven."

"Don't be afraid of your son's jokes. My little sister is dignified and beautiful, and her virtue is virtuous. She is also well-known far and near. She and your son are a match made in heaven. If you can make such a good relationship, it will be a good story. I wonder what you will do?"

"This……"

Jiang Zhou twitched slightly when he saw the old man Zhang staring at him.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a voice like a silver bell coming from outside the door: "Father, since it was the father who spoke first, let this Mr. Zhang prepare a full five hundred dowry gift, and Mr. Zhang has followed his word. Father should keep his promise. How can it be changed at will?"

"Little sister! Why are you here?"

Qiu Jia Dalang was startled, his expression changed immediately, and he shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, marriage is a big matter, matchmaker's words, you have no place to speak here!"

The younger sisters of the Qiu family walked into the hall gracefully, she was really elegant and unconventional, not ordinary makeup.

However, she ignored Qiu's eldest son and looked straight at Qiu's old Confucian: "Father, benevolence and trustworthiness, observance of propriety and righteousness are the training of my Qiu family. Will father make my Qiu family die from now on?"

Old Confucian Qiu felt ashamed: "Yao'er... Even though that's the case, but..."

Qiu Xiaomei shook her head and said: "Father takes pity on my daughter, and my daughter knows it, but my daughter can't shame my Qiu family because of her own selfishness. As a child of the Qiu family, family style and faith should be the most important thing, and... "

She glanced at the old man Zhang and said: "My daughter has heard what this Mr. Zhang said, and it is true. Even if a father marries his daughter to a wealthy family, he may not be able to be happy for the rest of his life. Mr. Zhang To be able to say this is already better than countless men in the world."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but look at her twice in surprise.

This woman is able to say these words, she is really beautiful and intelligent, and old man Zhang's eyes are poisonous enough.

At this time, Old Confucian Qiu was ashamed and hesitant.

The words are good, but the more excellent his daughter is, the more he is unwilling to let her marry such a gardener, and the more he feels sorry for his daughter.

Jiang Zhou shook his head. Now that things have happened, he can no longer eat melons in silence.

Looking at old man Zhang who was staring at Miss Qiu obsessively, he said: "Old man Zhang, logically speaking, since Miss Qiu is willing to agree, it is your request, and it is a private matter between you, and I should not take care of it."

"This matter has nothing to do with me, but I borrowed your dowry. If the two of you get married, I can be considered a half-matchmaker. If it's normal, then it's a good thing..."

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Jia Dalang on the side exclaimed: "Ah!"

"Wow! So the betrothal gift was also given by Mr. Jiang? You old man... Forget it, I won't tell you, Mr. Jiang, then I should betroth my younger sister to you!"

"..."

Jiang Zhou was expressionless, turned his face away, ignored Qiu's big man, and continued to say to old man Zhang: "But you should understand that in the eyes of the world, you and Miss Qiu are not a good match. No matter who you are, Miss Qiu She is a secular person, and she has her parents and family members, so it is impossible for her to disregard the worldly vision like you."

"If Miss Qiu suffers misfortune because of my five hundred guan, it will be my injustice."

"So, don't blame me for meddling. Why don't you think about this marriage again?"

After listening to the old man Zhang, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed:
"Hahahaha, that's how it is."

"You worry too much, little brother Jiang. You are indeed a good match between us. You can take care of this marriage. What's wrong with that?"

"but……"

Old man Zhang smiled, and suddenly made a bow: "Please forgive me, little brother Jiang, I have been hiding something before..."
