After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 42 I Want to Promise My Daughter to Xiao Fengxian

The Dragon Boat Festival is here, and Shanyin County is extremely lively.

Xing and the others got up early and dressed up. After eating rice dumplings, realgar wine and reunion dinner at noon, the family happily went out to play, waiting to watch the dragon boat race at night.

Wei Zi also wanted to go out.

Mrs. Xing scolded: "How can a widow go out shopping on New Year's Day? What kind of dignity is it?! Honestly, you will be a doorkeeper at home, and others will praise you for your virtuousness!"

"That's right," Xiao Dujuan rolled his eyes, "How unlucky it is for a widow, our whole family is elegant and decent, what does it look like if you bring a widow with you?"

Wei Zi was being aggrieved when a servant came over beaming.

He made a salute and said respectfully: "At the order of my master Shen Shilang, I invite Young Master Fengxian, Miss Wei, Master Xiao and Mrs. Xing to come to Ziqi East for a banquet."

Xing was both surprised and delighted: "Shen Shilang invited us to the banquet?! Master, did you hear that Shen Shilang invited us to spend the Dragon Boat Festival together? This is a great honor!"

Xiao Gui stroked his beard and said cheerfully: "The last time Shen Shilang came to our house, he talked with me very happily, and he meant to be sworn brothers. It must be that he wants to make me a friend. From now on, the two families will come and go frequently. That's why we were invited to the banquet."

Xiao Dujuan glanced at Wei Zi, and proudly said: "Now you know how decent we are? You are lucky to have dinner with Shen Shilang under my father's favor. I am afraid that this will be enough for you to honor your ancestors and brag about it all your life." !"

After the incident at Yunshen Temple, Wei Zi didn't respect Shen Chunqiu anymore, and he didn't feel that it was honorable to eat at the same table with him.

But it's good to be able to go out.

Ziqi Donglai officially opened today.

Wei Zi followed Xing and others into the threshold, and the lobby was crowded with customers.

Xiaoer and the maids came and went with wine and dishes. They were all newly hired. They only knew that the owner of the restaurant was named Wei. They didn't know what this girl Wei looked like. They were arranged by Chef Zuo on weekdays. They do things.

Therefore, even if Wei Zi passed under their noses, they didn't know that this girl was their boss.

Shen Chunqiu's private room is on the fifth floor.

After meeting each other, Wei Zi noticed that there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl sitting beside Shen Chunqiu. She had a pretty face with slender shoulders and a slender waist. She was wearing a fashionable hair bun that is rare in Lingzhou City, wearing a thin gauze skirt with cloudy powder, and her wrist Wearing two heavy twisted silk gold bracelets between them.

Shen Chunqiu smiled and said: "This is my daughter, Shen Xuan. Xuan'er, haven't you met your Uncle Xiao yet?"

The girl stood up gracefully and greeted Xiao Gui and Xing Shi.

Xiao Gui was overwhelmed by flattery: "Hurry up and get rid of the courtesy!"

Mrs. Xing took Shen Xuan's hand, sized her up and praised: "As expected of the daughter of an official family in Shangjing, she is different from the daughter raised in our poor mountains and rivers! Look at my Du Juan, who has a hunchback and a vulgar behavior, how can it compare to Shen Xuan's daughter?" The girl is slim and beautiful, noble and elegant?"

"Mother!" Xiao Dujuan scolded, "How can you belittle your own daughter like this, she won't obey you!"

The coquettishness was just right, and everyone in the private room laughed.

Shen Chunqiu looked around but didn't see Xiao Fengxian, so he couldn't help asking: "Where is your Fengxian? Last time in Yunshen Temple, he made excellent strategies and theories. When Xuan'er saw his answer sheet, she said that she respected him very much. to meet him."

"Hey!" Xiao Gui waved his hand, "When I mention that rebellious son, I get angry, and I don't know where he went because of the big festival! Regardless of him, Mr. Shen, let's have fun!"

Shen Chunqiu picked up the teacup.

His banquet today was specially set up for Xiao Fengxian, what's the matter if the rightful owner doesn't come?

He took a sip of tea, and inquired in a roundabout way: "Your Fengxian and that adult from Shangjing... seem to have a very close relationship?"

Xiao Gui and Xing Shi looked at each other.

The adults in Shangjing?

Could it be the Marquis of Changping?

Xiao Gui smiled and said: "So you know everything. In fact, our whole family has a deep relationship with that lord. In two years, we plan to move our family to Shangjing to join that lord."

Shen Chunqiu was shocked.

What is the origin of this family, and the whole family has a deep relationship with the flower factory supervisor!
He caressed the teacup, and after a while, his smile became more genuine.

He said gently: "I have a good relationship with that child Fengxian, and he has reached the age of marriage. Coincidentally, my family's Xuan'er has also reached the age of Ji. Although Xuan'er is a concubine, but there is only such a daughter under my knee , was raised as a daughter-in-law since childhood. They are talented and beautiful, if the two families become good friends of Qin and Jin, wouldn't it be wonderful? In the future, when they go to Shangjing, the two families will have someone to take care of them."

Xiao Gui and Xing Shi were stunned again.

Shen Shilang...

To actually promise his own daughter to Xiao Fengxian? !

"He is a prostitute, how can he be-"

Xing immediately exclaimed, and was secretly pinched by Xiao Gui before closing her mouth unwillingly.

Xiao Gui is still in charge of family matters.

Xiao Gui smiled: "Master Shen, Feng Xian's child is stubborn and disrespectful, and his mother is from a brothel, how can he marry your favorite child?"

Xing smiled and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, he is the mud in the pond, and your daughter is the cloud in the sky that day. If you can't beat him with eight poles, don't be wronged girl!"

Shen Chunqiu's face darkened slightly.

He is a dignified third-rank servant, and he lowers his figure to make a matchmaking in person, even if the Xiao family has a close relationship with the supervisor of the flower factory, he should look at his old face!

What's more, his daughter is as beautiful as a flower, and it's not that she is completely unworthy of Xiao Fengxian!
Sensing his anger, Xiao Gui and Xing Shi looked at each other, both feeling a little apprehensive.

Xiao Gui's thoughts turned a thousand times.

After all, Xiao Fengxian was his son in name, and telling him a good marriage would not do any harm to the Xiao family, and maybe he could help Ling Xiao in the future.

He thought and said with a smile: "At the end of the day, we still took advantage of this marriage. I'm afraid that the humble house will wrong Miss Shen. It's better to get engaged first, and wait for Fengxian to get the honor in the examination, and then formally get married at a later date."

These words are still pleasing to the ear.

Shen Chunqiu's face turned pale, and he couldn't wait to say: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, let's give them a combination of horoscopes today."
