Chapter 424 The Pimp Sun Zhongyuan

Jiang Shanqing turned his head to look at the person who was asking the question, he naturally recognized this person, that was the Sun Zhongyuan whom he met with Li Meier in front of Mrs Zhen's door last time, he didn't notice that this person also participated in the Lu Ming Banquet .

The expression on Jiang Shanqing's face was indifferent, and he replied calmly: "Yes, Mr. Sun should know, my cousin and I were childhood sweethearts."

With a smile on his face, Sun Zhongyuan toasted a glass of wine with Jiang Shanqing, and said: "I think what the lord of the county just said is right. A talent like Shanqing shouldn't be engaged so early. The woman you have met There are still too few, when you go to the capital, you will inevitably meet many women from aristocratic families, then you will find that your previous vision is still too narrow, Yin County is only a small place after all."

Jiang Shanqing looked at Sun Zhongyuan with a half-smile, but didn't respond to his words, his eyes seemed to see through him.

Sun Zhongyuan is also a person of profound morality, and he continued without any embarrassment: "I have a cousin in the capital city, who is [-] years old this year. She is proficient in everything, no matter poetry, song, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is among the best in the capital city." Talented girl, I think you and Shanqing must have a lot in common, so why don't I introduce you once or twice when we arrive in the capital."

Jiang Shanqing's expression remained unchanged, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart: Is this son of a family still working part-time as a pimp? This is too limitless. Is it really good to sell your own sister?
"I appreciate Mr. Sun's kindness. It's just that I don't have high requirements for my future wife. There are only two points. First, I have to be beautiful, and second, I have to be good at cooking. Only in this way can I be considered to be in the hall. I got the kitchen, I don't know which one my sister has taken?"

"Shanqing, your request...is really special." The expression on Sun Zhongyuan's face finally became a little unstoppable. A lady from a wealthy family can only learn superficial cooking skills. After all, few people will make soup for their husbands after they get married. For soup, there is a special cook at home, which cooking skills are not outstanding, so why do you need the master to do it again.

"I'm just a layman, and I don't have too big aspirations. Even if I'm an official, I never thought about joining the cabinet. I'm content to be a parent and official. I just want to live a peaceful and peaceful life with the person I like, so You don't have to worry about it, Mr. Sun, I don't want those rich and noble ladies from aristocratic families." Jiang Shanqing looked at Sun Zhongyuan and said very seriously.

Sun Zhongyuan didn't expect Jiang Shanqing to refuse so simply. After all, the daughter of the noble family in Beijing and the daughter of Feizhi County are not on the same level. If he is really ambitious and revengeful, he will never miss such a good opportunity.

"Then... I was abrupt." Sun Zhongyuan still had a smile on his face, without the embarrassment of being rejected, he said very freely.

Jiang Shanqing didn't intend to talk nonsense with him any more, and after bowing to him, he turned around and ignored him.

Sun Zhongyuan poured himself a glass of wine again, but he just held the glass and didn't drink it for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.

At the end of the Luming Banquet, many of the guests were slightly drunk, but they were all very excited, and they made an appointment to go to Beijing together soon.

No one from Jiang Youzhi toasted a lot of wine, and he came to Jiang Shanqing's side with reddish cheeks, and whispered, "I was really scared to death just now, I thought the county lord would force you to be his son-in-law."

"Not at all." Jiang Shanqing smiled without any worries, "The county lord is also a person who wants face. I have rejected it so clearly. If he persists, it will appear that he has too many daughters to marry."

Jiang Youzhi nodded, and lowered his voice in a serious manner: "I saw that the county lord dragged that kid He Zheng and talked for a long time. I reckoned that he had changed his target again."

Jiang Shanqing heard this, and looked at Jiang Youzhi with a strange expression: "Little uncle, why didn't the county lord take a fancy to you? I think your character and appearance are much better than that of He Zheng."

Jiang Youzhi actually thought about it seriously before replying: "Maybe I'm too old, I'm almost a round older than the daughter of the county lord."

Jiang Shanqing couldn't hold back his smile at last, and joked: "Little uncle, where are you? Down with all the girls."

"Stinky boy! Are you the one who embarrasses your uncle like this? Is his skin itchy?" Jiang Youzhi couldn't laugh or cry, and slapped Jiang Shanqing on the back hard. , I still have to save some face for him outside.

While the two were talking, He Zheng also came out, and he seemed to be in a very good mood, his face was flushed, and he looked very high-spirited.

"Uncle Jiang, Shanqing, when are you going to leave for the capital?" He walked up to the two and asked.

"We probably will be late, because my aunt's family will go with me, and there are too many things to deal with." Jiang Shanqing replied.

"Is that so..." He Zheng thought for a while, he originally planned to go to Beijing with the Jiang family's uncle and nephew, after all, there are so many people, so there is no need to feel at ease.It's just that the whole family of the Li family had to go to Beijing, and he felt that it was inconvenient to have too many people. After all, the Li family had many female relatives, so he wanted to go home and discuss it with his mother and grandmother.

Jiang Youzhi knew what he was thinking, so he said with a smile: "Ah Zheng, if you want to go to the capital with us, then you can go with our boat. This time we will charter a big boat."

"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with my family." He Zheng still said gratefully.

The three parted at the door, and Jiang Youzhi stood for a while, feeling that he was almost sober, so he and Jiang Shanqing got into the car and went back.

By the time the two of them arrived home, it was past You Hour.The whole family is naturally waiting for them.

As soon as Li Meier saw the person came back, she asked Mother Lin to go to the kitchen to serve hangover soup, and poured a bowl for the two of them first.

Mrs. Li was concerned about the situation of the Luming Banquet today, so she hurriedly asked: "Who are the people who went to the Luming Banquet? No one made things difficult for you, right?"

Jiang Youzhi replied with a smile: "Our family's Shanqing is Jieyuan, and the future is bright. No one dares to make things difficult for him. The county lord still wants to recruit him to be Chenglongkuai's son-in-law."

As soon as these words came out, several women in the room became nervous, even Li Meier, who looked calmest, unconsciously clenched the veil on her hand.

"Oh, then did you tell the magistrate that you are engaged!" Mrs. Li asked anxiously again.

"Grandmother, don't listen to my little uncle's nonsense. The county magistrate just asked about my situation, but he didn't say that he would promise his daughter to me. I told him directly. The family has already arranged a marriage for me and my cousin." Jiang Shanqing immediately opened his mouth to explain, for fear that his family would misunderstand.
