Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 128 The Third Sister's Threat
Zhao's family was not only surprised by Zhao Jinyi, but also by the Wu family and the Huang family.

Zhao Chengde asked for leave for two days to take care of his old father, and today he canceled his leave and returned to the Yamen.When Song Jingxing came, Mrs. Wu and her two sisters-in-law were walking together with their own thoughts after visiting the old man.

Although the unhappiness was just over yesterday, the three of them ignored each other, but Mrs. Zhu always wanted to be close to Mrs. Huang, but Mrs. Huang hated Zhao Chengde and didn't have a good look towards Mrs. Zhu.

After seeing the Chuihua Gate, the three sisters-in-law went back to their respective courtyards, and a woman came rushing to tell each other: "There is a gentleman who claims to be Song Jingxing, and he wants to marry the fourth girl!"

The name Song Jingxing was naturally familiar to the three of them.

Zhu's face immediately showed joy: "Congratulations to the second sister-in-law!"

Wu was puzzled in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face: "My brother and sister said this too early, it's just a mere gentleman who came to propose marriage, should we agree?"

Mrs. Huang wanted Zhao Jinyi to enter the palace wholeheartedly, so she quickly stood by Mrs. Wu's side: "No, although Langzhong Song has saved Yi'er's life, he doesn't have to promise him with his body."

But Wu didn't appreciate it: "If Yi'er is satisfied with Langzhong Song, such a marriage is not impossible."

Both Zhu Shi and Huang Shi's expression became worried, but they both wanted to watch the excitement, so they went together cheekily.

Zhu originally thought that although Song Jingxing was an official of the sixth rank, he was a newcomer after all, and the salaries of officials below the sixth rank in the dynasty were not very generous, and Song Jingxing was a craftsman, so the dowry must be poor. tight.

In Huang's mind, the poorer Song Jingxing's dowry was prepared, the more reason she had to cast aside Song Jingxing.

The two of them forgot that the future husband-in-law of the second girl and the third girl came to make an appointment, and the things they prepared were only mediocre.

The three of them had their own thoughts and went outside the main hall.

When marrying and making a decision to propose marriage, it is natural to open the main door and open the main hall to welcome the future son-in-law.

Outside the main hall, many servants of the Zhao family crowded together.

In the Zhao family these days, the two girls just got engaged, and the servants also watched a lot of fun, and got a lot of rewards along the way.Marriage proposal is a happy event, and the servants come to join in the fun, and the masters will not scold them.

Besides, the Song family who came to propose marriage today are really generous.

The main hall of the Zhao family is not small, but it is full of things at this time, and it seems that the main hall has nowhere to go.

Xi Po, who came to propose marriage, wore a newly cut wedding dress, and the wrinkles on her face bloomed into flowers.

This happy woman is a fine person, and she sends happy money when she sees people.A servant secretly opened the red envelope and found six brand new copper coins inside.Song Langzhong is really generous!Before the Shi family came to propose marriage, there was only a copper coin in the red envelope, so it's stingy.The amount of money for this happiness immediately made the servants judge whether the marriage between the third girl and the fourth girl was good or bad, and the refreshments served were more exquisite than before.

It stands to reason that the gentleman does not have to come to propose marriage in person, but if the gentleman comes in person, it reflects the importance he attaches to the girl.

Song Jingxing stood gracefully in the middle of the main hall, with a just right smile on his lips.

He was born tall and tall, but at this time he was wearing a royal blue narrow-sleeved gown with dark floral patterns, and his newly made boots were clean. When he looked at him suddenly, although his face was a little darker, he still thought he was handsome.

A maid stared at him in a daze: "This Song doctor is unparalleled in handsomeness, and he matches our four girls."

Naturally, someone said enviously: "I heard that he was born as a craftsman, the second wife would not agree."

What about craftsmen?But everyone is an official!

The servants whispered and watched the masters approaching slowly.

The Wu family was naturally calm. At this time, the three wives were elders to Song Jingxing. After meeting with Xi Po, they sat down one by one, looking at Song Jingxing and the full presents.

Zhu's surprise covered her lips with a handkerchief: I didn't expect this doctor Song to be so handy!Could it be that he knew Zhao Jinyi's generous dowry, and borrowed money to make up the gift?Hey, I haven't got engaged yet, so I have such thoughts. I think that when Zhao Jinyi marries, he will definitely be rubbed in the palm of this Song Langzhong.

Mrs. Zhu is certain that she will make great efforts to facilitate this marriage.

Huang's perspective is different from Zhu's.

How can this gift prepared by an ordinary family be as exquisite as that in the palace?In the future, the Tian family will randomly reward one piece, which is not only worth a lot, but also a supreme honor!

She hopes for this marriage to be yellow.

As the protagonist, Wu's thinking is naturally different.She could tell that a lot of thought had gone into the gifts placed in the hall, as well as Xi Po and Song Jingxing.

Regardless of whether Langzhong Song borrowed money to prepare a gift, but to propose marriage, face is enough.

Last night Zhao Chengde mentioned Song Jingxing to her in detail.

He also talked about the situation of the Song family, but the most important thing was Song Jingxing's character.In the state of Lu, if a woman marries the wrong husband, it is inevitable that her life will be difficult.Although she originally didn't want her daughter to marry an official, it was because she had met her elder brother's adopted son before that she thought of promising her daughter to Wu Ji.Wu Ji is the adopted son of her eldest brother in her natal family, even if she treats her badly, her elder brother will still hold her back.What's more, the doctor is benevolent, she believes that Wu Ji will not treat his daughter badly.

Only later, the daughter said that she was in love with Erlang of the Ning family, but Wu Shi couldn't sleep that night.It is said that Erlang Ning is the most talented gentleman in Kanglefang, and now that he is famous, he will definitely become an official in the future.If she is engaged to the Ning family, she is not so happy.Later, when Ning Erlang got engaged to someone else, she breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Song Jingxing... Song Jingxing is a little different.Although he is an official, he was born as a craftsman.Although he was a sixth-rank official when he entered the official position, he might be a sixth-rank official for the rest of his life.The State of Lu has always valued literature over military affairs, and those scholar-officials especially attached great importance to the concept of class.Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and craftsmen have a higher status than merchants, but in the temple, officials with craftsman backgrounds can reach the sixth rank, and there is no one except Xiao Li twenty years ago.

But when he proposed marriage to his daughter, did he have other thoughts?But want to use the power of the Yue family to make further progress in official career?
Wu's mind turned back and forth.

She was not very satisfied with Song Jingxing.But... from the corner of her eye, she glanced at Zhu Shi and Huang Shi.Zhu's expression was surprised, it should be that Song Jingxing was not as shabby as she imagined.As for Mrs. Huang...she would never let Yi'er enter the palace and live alone forever.

This marriage is really difficult.

Marriage is an important matter, and it is reasonable for the girl's family not to show up because of the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.If the girl comes forward, the elders are all present, which is also in line with etiquette.

Mrs. Wu ordered Wuyi: "Please come here, Miss Four."

She wanted to see her daughter's attitude towards Song Jingxing.

Zhao Jinyi rushed over in a panic.Obviously she only threatened Song Jingxing yesterday, why did he come here with a thick skin today?No wonder he said it was his business to propose marriage, but it was her business whether he agreed or not!Apart from saying that she doesn't like him, she didn't see how much he likes her?In her anger, the blisters on the palms of her hands that had disappeared were itchy again.

Damn Song Jingxing!She appreciates his talent and wants to cooperate with him, but she doesn't want to marry him!
Could he be mistaken and think that she fell in love with him just because of that?

Zhao Jinyi walked so fast, he had never walked so fast in his life.

Ya Qing was able to keep up closely, but Mei Ran was out of breath and almost couldn't keep up.

Although he was furious, he still remembered some etiquette. Zhao Jinyi stopped to straighten his clothes, but was hugged affectionately by someone: "Congratulations, fourth sister, for finding a man as good as Lang Zhong Song."

It was Zhao Jinyun who was smiling.

Zhao Jinyi wanted to put her hand away in disgust, but Zhao Jinyun hugged her tightly, and whispered in her ear: "Fourth sister, men and women don't know each other, but you have had intimate contact with Song Langzhong in the teahouse, If the fourth younger sister does not marry Song Langzhong, she will not know what to do."

Zhao Jinyun had a pleasant smile on his face, but what he said made Zhao Jinyi feel cold all over his body.
