Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

After Xu Huaiyi rambled for a long time, Gu Huanxi responded lightly, "That's not something you should worry about."

This is not the case in modern times, where it is common to help friends introduce a partner. In ancient times, marriages relied on the orders of parents and the words of the matchmaker, and it was really thankless for outsiders to intervene.

Xu Huaiyi said bitterly, "I don't worry about anyone else, just Erzhu. The original owner has the best relationship with him. Before we crossed over, Erzhu helped the original owner a lot in private. Later, even though it was me, as long as I wanted to He supports everything he does without any reason. He has a sincere heart. This kind of person is the easiest to be bullied. It’s fine if I don’t know. If I pretend not to know when I see it, it’s really..."

Gu Huanxi said helplessly, "But how can you control it? He is in such an environment, how can you still pull him away for the rest of his life?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "I'm just worried about his marriage. I won't care about anything else. When his parents are gone and they separate, there won't be so much trouble. The most important thing now is to find a good wife."

Gu Huanxi reminded, "Both of them work in the workshop, are equally diligent and capable, and the amount of money they earn is not much different, but why didn't Village Chief Xu and Uncle Xu choose him when choosing a son-in-law? He's not ugly either. , his character is not bad, but he is not considered, have you never thought about the problem? "

Xu Huaiyi was silent for a moment, then looked up at her, "Because he doesn't fight or grab, is he too honest?"

Gu Huanxi nodded, "I won't fight or grab, I'm too honest, I can't say it's wrong, but if you marry him as your wife, you will suffer hardships and be wronged. Who is willing to give up to someone who loves his daughter? Besides, he is not treated well in the Meng family. Chong, the parents use his money to support other sons, all from the same village. Who doesn't know this? Wouldn't it be possible for him to be his wife and be ignored and neglected like this? , with such a temper, it’s okay to be friends, but it’s too bad to live a married life.”

Xu Huaiyi frowned, thought for a moment, and sighed, "That's right, his temper needs to change..."

"The situation is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. I'm afraid he is used to it and no longer feels disadvantaged or aggrieved. That's why I don't approve of you worrying about this matter. Others may not appreciate it."

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi muttered gloomily, "I was originally thinking about telling Wei Ci to him..."

What Wei Ci signed was a five-year contract. After the new year, he would be fourteen. In ancient times, one could get married at the age of fourteen, and Wei Ci's own conditions were not bad. If his family had not been in trouble, he would have been a member of the escort agency. The eldest lady has good looks and can read. She is still in charge of several secret recipes for food in the workshop. When she becomes a free woman in five years, she will definitely not worry about getting married.

Gu Huanxi didn't expect that Xu Huaiyi actually typed this score, and immediately glared at him angrily, "Don't mess with the mandarin duck score. How old is Wei Cicai? Even if they get married this year, she may not like Meng Erzhu. They were in the workshop We meet often, and if there is a fate, it will already be a sign. Moreover, Wei Liang may not be willing, but anyone with any brains can see that the Meng family is not a good place to end up. "

Xu Huaiyi said with a sneer, "How dare I mess up the mandarin duck formula? I just want to ask. If it succeeds, I will be rejected if it doesn't."

"You are the master and they are the servants. If you open your mouth, what will they think? If you agree, you will feel wronged. If you don't agree, I won't give you face. Isn't that a dilemma?"

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I didn't think well. I just pretended that I didn't say what I just said. Don't be angry. I don't care. Can't you..."

Neither of the couple expected that just after they talked about Wei Ci's marriage, the next day, someone would come to propose marriage.

The second day of junior high school is the day when a married girl returns to her parents' home. Gu Huanxi has no place to move around. After breakfast, the family spends their time alone. She indulges in reading, and Xu Huaiyi plays with the children. There is no shortage of toys in the house, but he dislikes Gu Xiaoxiao. Yu Tai was quiet, so he asked Wei Ci to sew sandbags and play a game of throwing sandbags in the garden.

The activity intensity of this game is very high. Xu Huaiyi and Wei Liang are responsible for standing outside the horizontal line and throwing. Gu Xiaoyu, Wei An, and Bao Pu Shou Zhuo keep dodging in the area inside the line to see who gets hit more times. .

Gu Xiaoyu was uninterested at first, but gradually he started to feel interesting. As he dodged, his little face turned red and his eyes shone brightly.

Ah Li was sitting in the baby chair, clapping her little hands excitedly to cheer her brother on.

Wei Ci and some of the little maids at home stood on the edge and watched the excitement, chattering and watching with great interest.

It wasn't until Village Chief Hu came to the door with a few bags of things, leaning on a cane and accompanied by his little grandson, that the yard became quiet.

Xu Huaiyi welcomed the person into the living room, still wondering, what was the purpose of coming to the door at this time?
After some pleasantries, Village Chief Hu explained his intention.

After hearing this, Xu Huaiyi was stunned, "Proposing marriage to Yingjie? And you always have your eye on Wei Ci?"

Village Chief Hu nodded, his attitude was very sincere, and he implicitly praised Wei Ci. He also complimented him and Gu Huanxi, saying that they were good at training people, which was why Wei Ci was able to stand out like this.

Xu Huaiyi reminded, "Yingjie is the manager of Zhuangzi. She signed an employment contract and is free. Wei Ci is different. Hers is a selling contract. Although it is only for five years, for now, her identity is still my maid. You Don’t you mind?”

Village Chief Hu said, "If you mind, I won't be so shameless as to come and ask for mercy today. Five years is a long time, but heroes can wait."

Xu Huaiyi was still a little hesitant, "Young heroes are brave and resourceful, and their future prospects will not be bad. You always have a lot of room for choice. Why does it have to be Wei Ci? To tell you the truth, Wei Ci now only has one older brother and A younger brother, and her elder brother signed a death contract with me. He is considered a member of my Gu family. He can only help her in the future. As for Wei An, he is still young and it is unknown whether he will have any future prospects..."

This is already very true.

Village Chief Hu stroked his beard and smiled, "The little old man would also like to speak frankly. There is a saying, 'I would rather marry a servant of a big family than a daughter of a small family.' What the little old man likes is that she is following you. If you work closely with a husband and wife, your character and knowledge will be good in the future. A good wife will bring prosperity to three generations. Who wouldn't be interested in such a good candidate? "

There must be people in the village who are concerned about her, but some lack the confidence, and some feel that Wei Ci is still young and not in a hurry to discuss marriage, so he takes the lead.

After listening to Village Chief Hu's explanation, Xu Huaiyi suddenly realized, and he also remembered this sentence. He would rather marry a slave from a big family than a daughter from a small family, because most of the slaves from big families were selected into the mansion at a very young age. Growing up in a better environment, she has a certain level of knowledge and education, especially her personal maid, who is well-educated and well-educated.

As for daughters of small families, due to the relatively poor living conditions in ancient times, their education, knowledge, and vision were all limited, and they would inevitably be tainted by the aura of the upper class.

He thought for a moment and responded, "I definitely have no objection to Yingjie, but to be honest, I can't make the decision regarding Wei Ci's marriage. I have to ask Wei Liang. Wei Liang loves his sister. I guess Wei Ci himself will have to say it in the end." After all, getting married is a matter of two surnames, and it’s about mutual consent, don’t you think?”

Village Chief Hu was not surprised when he heard this. If it were anyone else, a maid's marriage could be agreed casually. Who said that the current people have no freedom? The master's family has the final say in marriage, so how could they consult them? Opinion? But the other party was Xu Huaiyi, so he took it for granted.

Moreover, he was also very happy that Xu Huaiyi could do this. What did it mean? This shows how much Xu Huaiyi values ​​the three Wei brothers and sisters.

If they can really marry Wei Ci for their eldest grandson in the future, their Hu family will undoubtedly become much closer to the Gu family.

The head of the village agreed and said a lot of polite words of gratitude. Finally, he put down the gift and walked away on crutches.

Xu Huaiyi sent him out of the door, then turned back and looked at the things on the table. They were all food and drink. They were not very expensive, but they were prepared with great care. They should have been made by his own family.

Carrying a bag of Bazhen cakes, he wandered to the study room and recounted what had just happened to Gu Huanxi. Gu Huanxi put down the book and said in surprise, "I really didn't realize it. The Hu family turned out to have a crush on Wei Ci. I was surprised before that Hu Yingjie is not too young. Hutian Village had a bad reputation before, and the outer village had a bad reputation. No girl was willing to marry him, so it was normal for him to be single. Later, when every household became rich, Hutian Village became a hot spot in the marriage market. Matchmakers often came to the village, and several families had arranged marriages. I haven’t heard any news from the Hu family, but if you really want to talk about it, Hu Yingjie’s personal conditions are much higher than those of Liu Xiuwen and Gao Zhuang..."

Hu Yingjie is a native of the capital, and his ancestral business is here. It has been run for generations, and his family is very wealthy. It is by no means comparable to the Liu family and the Gao family. Furthermore, Hu Yingjie is also handsome, the kind of person who is very conspicuous. Cool brother, who doesn't talk much but is capable, trains guards on Zhuangzi, and the skills he shows are more malleable than Liu Xiuwen and Gao Zhuang.

Xu Huaiyi even thought that after he came ashore in the military examination, someone would have to run errands with him. Wei Liang was very skilled and had to protect his wife. When the time came, he could promote Hu Yingjie to be his personal bodyguard.

Hu Yingjie's skills are not outstanding, but his ability to adapt to changes is still worthy of recognition.

Xu Huaiyi asked, "What do you mean? Do you agree to this marriage or not?"

Gu Huanxi picked up a piece of Bazhen cake and ate it leisurely, "It's not what we said. Ask Wei Liang and Wei Ci themselves. If they are willing to accept it, if they are not willing, just go to Hu's house and refuse."

"Then are you optimistic about this marriage?"

"I think it's okay, but again, it's useless for us to agree. It depends on what the brothers and sisters want."

Xu Huaiyi said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Why is it useless if you say it? Wei Ci will definitely listen to you."

Gu Huanxi rolled her eyes at him, "Then I can't decide her marriage casually. Getting married is a woman's second reincarnation. It's better to leave this opportunity to her. When the time comes, we can just pay a dowry."

Xu Huaiyi understood her temperament and didn't like to meddle in other people's business, so he said, "Then I'll go talk to Wei Liang."

"Row……"

Xu Huaiyi talked to Wei Liang in private. Wei Liang was surprised at first, then hesitant, and finally said, "It all depends on the master."

Xu Huaiyi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, you, as the elder brother, still have the final say in matters of marriage. It's best to ask your sister what she wants. Don't make random decisions and cause any resentment between the couple."

When Wei Liang heard this, he knew that what Xu Huaiyi said was not just polite words of refusal, but that he really wanted to give him the decision-making power. He thought for a moment and said carefully, "I am satisfied with this marriage. I also know how the Hu family is. It’s a good home, but Xiaoci’s identity…”

"Don't worry about that. Village Chief Hu said that he doesn't mind. Yingjie can wait for five years."

Wei Liang was even more shaken after hearing this, "I have time to ask Xiao Ci before I reply to the master."

Xu Huaiyi said, "Okay, don't be in a hurry. Anyway, it's still a few months before Wei Ci and Hairpin are born. Besides, there are many girls in the family, so maybe there will be a more suitable one later..."

This is beautiful words.

Wei Liang knew clearly that there was no one more suitable than Hu Yingjie. Even if someone with more outstanding conditions later might be suitable for his sister, he would spend the rest of his life in the Gu family. His sister would be freed from slavery in five years, but she still holds so many secret recipes. , and cannot live without the Gu family. The master and his wife may not be at ease if they marry elsewhere, but Hu Yingjie has no worries in this regard.

Furthermore, the Hu family knows their roots well, and their family tradition is well-known. If my sister marries her, she will never be wronged, regardless of her feelings.

He believed that with his sister's intelligence, she would not refuse this marriage.

Sure enough, after Wei Ci heard this, he only thought about it for a while, then blushed and said, "Everything is up to the elder brother."

This is a tactful agreement.

Wei Liang originally wanted to tell her about the benefits of marrying into the Hu family. Seeing this, he didn't need to say more. He just reminded her, "The Hu family came to propose marriage not only because of you, but also because of the master and his wife. We It’s because of their strength.”

Wei Ci also understood this. When his brother pointed it out, he didn't feel embarrassed or disappointed, "Don't worry, brother, I won't get carried away. Whatever has been in the past, I will do in the future. I will repay my wife's kindness with all my heart."

Wei Liang nodded happily, "Have you ever thought about five years from now?"

Wei Ci struggled for a moment and asked tentatively, "Brother, if I still want to stay with my wife and work in five years, will you be angry?"

Wei Liang was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Don't you want to deregister and become a free agent?"

Wei Ci bit her lip, lowered her head and tugged at the corner of her clothes, muttering softly, "It's good to be free, but rather than being free, I want to stay in the Gu family and work for my wife..."

"why?"

"I, I can't explain clearly. Anyway, I am very practical in the Gu family. I can learn a lot from my wife. Although my wife also asks me to work, she doesn't think that I am a human being. She even lets me work in the workshop with confidence. I'm very happy working in the workshop, even if I don't make much money, I still feel very happy..."

If Gu Huanxi were here, he would tell her that it was because she could find her own value in the workshop and realize her own value alone. Of course she would be happy. There are few women who can go out to do work, but they are all trapped in the back house. On that one-third of an acre, I lived in boredom.

Wei Liang rarely understood what she meant, "Since you like her, then don't leave."

Hearing this, Wei Ci was immediately delighted and said, "Thank you, brother."

A smile flashed in Wei Liang's eyes, "Brother didn't do anything. Remember to thank your wife, she gave you everything."

Wei Ci nodded hastily.

After lunch, Gu Huanxi received Wei Ci's thanks and kowtowed seriously.

The marriage was decided, but since Wei Ci hadn't gotten her haircut yet, they only agreed verbally and would go through the formal process after she got her haircut. (End of chapter)
