fairy wife

230 Engagement

The lady of Xiucai was very hesitant and told her sister-in-law on Wednesday to think about it carefully, but Xiucai did not hesitate to do things. When she came back and heard about it, she shook her head and said no.

"Why not?" Although the lady of the scholar also felt that it was wrong, but the condition of the other party was really very good, she had no parents, and her family was rich, and her daughter married to see that she would enjoy the blessings.

"Such a big piece of cake won't just fall from the sky," Xiucai said. "Where this man was before, what he did, what kind of temperament he was, and how much money he has, we don't know all of these. Besides, he is fifteen years old." , if you talk about marriage, then you definitely want to marry within a year or two. How old will Qiu'er be then? If he wants to marry a wife in a hurry, he should find someone who is about the same age as him in fourteen or five years old."

After being splashed with cold water by Xiucai, the lady of Xiucai also woke up.

She is not a greedy person, once she thinks of the words of being greedy for small things and suffering big losses, she will give up such thoughts.

The big family is indeed rich, but can the daughter handle it?

The daughter's marriage should be planned earlier, but there is no need to be in such a hurry. There are still a few years before the daughter grows up to be able to marry. She can take advantage of this time to take care of her daughter slowly.If you can't pick one in the town, you can go to Fucheng to look for it. Their town is not far from Fucheng, tens of miles away, and marrying in Fucheng is also a good marriage.

When the sister-in-law came again on Wednesday, the scholar-in-law declined the marriage.

On Wednesday, my sister-in-law was in a hurry: "Such a good marriage, others can't even ask for it, and your family still pushes it away? Such a good son-in-law has nowhere to look for with a lantern. The girl married and waited for a happy life. Go up You don't need to serve your parents-in-law, and there are no uncles, sisters-in-laws or wives to worry about..."

The scholar's wife had made up her mind, she shook her head and said, "Your third sister-in-law is missing, since this Young Master Li is so good, Qiu'er from our family must not be a good match, so you can find another good girl and talk about it."

The sister-in-law on Wednesday talked for a long time, but the talented lady was not moved, and she could only go unhappy.

Mrs. Xiucai sent her away, and she took the needle and thread for a long time without doing a single stitch.

Qiuqiu heard that this matter was pushed.Finally he let out a long breath of relief.

That's great, I don't need to be married off now.

But according to what the scholar lady and the others meant, she wouldn't be able to stay at home for long, and even if she didn't succeed this time, the next time would definitely come soon.

At that time, I still have to face such embarrassment, and I have to choose a husband from a group of little kids who have not even grown their hair.No matter how I think about it, Qiuqiu feels uncomfortable all over.

Qiuqiu sympathized with her younger sister when she was sent to become a monk.But now she felt sorry for herself a lot.Compared with my younger sister, getting married is obviously scarier than getting married.There is a word difference between getting married and becoming a monk, but the connotation is really different.

This matter did not end like the scholar and his wife thought.Because within two days, another guest came to the house.

The Li Daguan who my sister-in-law mentioned on Wednesday actually came to visit the scholar himself.

Xiucai was very surprised.

He has the reputation of a scholar, and he is considered a person of minor status in the town.But Mr. Li is different.The Li family's house occupies nearly one-third of the town, and many people in the town hold the Li family's jobs.Many things the mayor said may not count.But what Li Daguan said, it must count.

Li Daguan came here to protect the matchmaker for his nephew.

The local emperor with a big family and a great career did not look down on others by being superior. On the contrary, he was very polite and polite to scholars, and he didn't go around in circles.He directly said what he wanted.

He had a nephew who died of his parents' illness.So he came to join him, and now that it is time to start a family, Mr. Li naturally wants to make plans for his nephew.It seems that among the girls in the town, the eldest girl from Xiucai's family is the most suitable.Generous and dignified, knowledgeable and literate, it couldn't be more suitable.

Li Daguan said very earnestly: "If you want to say that you are a good match, the family business left by my brother is enough for my nephew to eat, drink and spend all his life. Money is something that you don't bring with you when you die. There is no need to ask for another Daughter of a rich family. Marry a wife with virtue, marry a wife with a virtuous person, and a girl from a scholar's family is more virtuous and sensible. I come here to say this matter sincerely, and it is definitely not a whim. If you are a virtuous brother, don't worry about it , I will bring my nephew with me in a few days, and you can take a look too. If you don’t like it, then of course he has no fate with your girl. If you can still like it, wouldn’t it be a beautiful thing? "

Li Daguan is so sincere that Xiucai has no choice but to make a statement: "Master Li's words are in my heart, and I should think carefully about them."

Li Daguan came to the door in person, and if he refused again, he would offend others.

What's more, Li Daguan's words are also in the heart of the scholar.

If the other party is really sincere and wants to get married, and has taken a fancy to his daughter's character, Xiucai is not the kind of person who is unreasonable.

Of course he knew how good his daughter was.The eldest daughter is sensible and sensible, and has aura in reading and writing.If he was a son, he might be much stronger than his father in the future. If he could pass the exams and be a Jinshi, he would become an official in the future.

Unfortunately, she is a daughter.

Li Daguan kept his word, and within a few days, he brought his nephew here by taking the opportunity of inviting a scholar to drink tea.

When Xiucai met, he was a little surprised—such a handsome young man, full of scholarly, courteous manners, without the dandy appearance that Xiu had worried about before.

Looking at it this way, Xiucai was quite satisfied.Just still have some doubts.

Li Daguan saw his worry, and patted his chest to promise that the marriage would be settled in advance, and there was no rush to let the girl pass now.In the future, if the nephew dares to treat his wife badly, he, the first uncle, will not be able to spare him.

The development of this matter can be called a turnaround. Before Qiuqiu understood what was going on, the two families began to formally negotiate marriage.

Engaged?

Qiuqiu couldn't believe it.

No no, this is too unscientific.

She wasn't mentally prepared at all. She felt that at this age, she had only entered primary school and was learning pinyin a, o, e, but unexpectedly, she got engaged?

The opponent is fifteen...

Well, also a minor.

The point is, apart from the fact that the other party's surname is Li, she doesn't even know whether he is Yuan or Bian.

This must be dear, Qiuqiu's life has changed too much.

Mrs. Xiucai never let her go out to play anymore. The reason is that she is already an adult and engaged in marriage. How can she show her face outside casually?

Qiuqiu suddenly passed her semi-confinement life.

Not only that, but the talented lady seemed to have changed from a mother-in-law to a stepmother all of a sudden. She desperately urged and taught her that something was wrong here, and there was no way there.

As a result, Qiuqiu suffered unspeakably, and was filled with resentment towards this Young Master Li whom he had never met.

Year after year passed quickly, and the younger sister once went down the mountain once.Compared with the time when I sent her up the mountain, she was already rebellious, wearing a small Taoist robe, with a single bun on her hair, and a cold expression on her small face that did not eat the fireworks of the world. The scholar's lady called her father and mother very politely, and she didn't show affection when she met Qiuqiu and her younger brother.

Even Qiuqiu feels sad and uncomfortable, let alone what it feels like for a scholar lady.

The younger sister also politely congratulated her elder sister on her engagement, and gave a pair of Pisces jade pendants as a gift.

After Qiuqiu harvested the jade pendant, she felt very complicated.

She can also see now that the Taoist temple on this mountain is not the kind of illegal organization that deceives and kidnaps. My sister is now very different from when she went up the mountain, whether it is her demeanor or anything else.Don't even mention anything else, let's just talk about this pair of jade pendants. Judging by the fineness of the carver, even the wealth of the scholar's family may not be worth the value of this jade pendant.But now the younger sister casually gave this as a gift, which shows that this is a very common thing for her.

Different people have different fates... Qiuqiu is also quite envious of her own sister.

But I can't be envious of this matter. In the words of the Taoist nun back then, my sister has roots of wisdom.As for her, she doesn't have such roots, she should live her life as a commoner honestly.

"When is my sister's marriage?"

Qiuqiu's dowry is almost ready.The betrothal gift given by Li Daguan's family is quite generous, and he made it clear that there is no need for any dowry from the scholar's family.Of course, the scholar couple can't let their daughter get married empty-handed, and the dowry is also well prepared.Some of them were piled up at home, and some of them couldn't be put down, so they were borrowed from the neighbor's empty house.

"It will be next spring." Qiuqiu really didn't want to mention this matter, and until now she felt that this matter had no sense of reality.

She is getting married?Are you really going to get married?

She has met the groom once in the past two years, and he is not bad - this is a modest statement.To be precise, his appearance is too much beyond the average level, he is a very beautiful boy.He spoke and acted exactly as Xiucai's father said, very well-behaved. I don't know how many girls from far and near gritted their teeth at Qiuqiu.How could such a good son-in-law be picked up by their family?

In terms of family background, the scholar's family is not a big family.In terms of looks, Qiuqiu can only be described as pretty, and it's not that there are no girls in the town who are prettier than her.

Qiuqiu herself didn't feel much.

She and the surname Li haven't said anything, and they haven't even looked at each other.

Qiuqiu always feels that she and the other party seem to be out of tune.

It stands to reason that a well-mannered and beautiful boy should be very likable, but this feeling of being completely unable to communicate... I always feel that two people who are married can only be relatively silent, and it is impossible to become a loving couple.

The younger sister said: "When my sister gets married, I will definitely come back."

Qiuqiu was a little moved.

Although my younger sister went up the mountain and was estranged from her family, she still had a sisterly bond.Otherwise, the younger sister who hasn't been back for several years would not say that she will definitely come back to attend her wedding.
