**********
When Mrs. Zhao arrived at Qiduo's house, seeing Wen Xiuyi, her eyes lit up immediately.

However, because of the presence of Shen Huairen and his wife, she did not dare to make any mistakes, she spoke and acted very well, she was not rude, and she did not embarrass Qi Duo's family.

The dinner was served in the yard, and there were five or six lanterns hung on the locust trees, which illuminated the yard very brightly, which was very interesting.
From time to time, there was a soft sound of 'sizzling' in the charcoal basin, which was the clear oil from the roasted rabbit meat.

The smell of rabbit meat wafted out of the yard, making the villagers who passed by Qiduo's house outside the yard couldn't help but stop, inhaling the aroma and thinking about what delicious food Qiduo's house made and why it smelled so good.
Because of the new trick of roasting rabbit meat, the atmosphere of the whole night was very high, and it was even more enjoyable and full of laughter.

And Qiduo was worried about Zheng Wanru's body, so she asked Wen Xiuyi to take her pulse to confirm that she had recovered, so Qiduo was relieved.

Wen Xiuyi also checked Liu Lang's pulse and told him to temporarily stop the medicine for a month, and then return for a follow-up visit after a month. If the symptoms are stable, the medicine can be stopped.

Knowing this news, Qiduo's family was very happy.

The medicine is three-point poisonous. Liulang has taken a lot of medicine because of his illness. It is naturally good if he can stop the medicine earlier.

After eating and sitting for a while, Wen Xiuyi took his leave.

He really didn't bring the badger meat, Qiduo didn't force it, and waved him away.

Shen Nan stood beside her, watching the carriage go away.

"This is for you." Shen Nan looked at Qiduo with a soft voice.

Qiduo turned to look at him, only to see that he held something in his hand and handed it to herself.

Looking closely under the light, it is a sculpture, which looks like two people.

"What is this?" Qiduo took it.

"I can engrave it, I'll let you play with it." Shen Nan said lightly.

"You have to be busy reading every day. How can you have time to carve these things?" The lighting is not particularly bright, so it is impossible to see what the carving is, but looking at the general outline, you can tell that the carving is not bad.

And the seven plum blossom hairpins he gave himself last time, so you know his craftsmanship is good.

Shen Nan gave her a blank look, "Do you want me to be buried in books for twelve hours a day, and you won't let me rest?"

Uh!
Qiduo was stunned for a moment, apologized quickly without arguing, and then put away the things.

Then she asked about Liu Lang's study in the academy, and Shen Nan told them one by one.

The two stood at the door chatting for a while, Zheng Wanru and Shen Huairen came out, and Shen Nan returned home with her parents.

Qiduo had already quietly told Zheng Wanru about Xu's attitude towards the Kang family's marriage proposal.

Zheng Wanru was very happy, and said with a smile that she had never been a matchmaker before, this time she got such a good job, she must do it beautifully, so that she can live ten years longer.

She planned to go to the county seat to talk to Mrs. Kang about it tomorrow, and then finalize the marriage as soon as possible.

Qiduo also thinks the same way, and wants to get Kang Jin and Erxia engaged as soon as possible to avoid complications.

Although there is no news about Han Hecheng recently, this person is a bit despicable. Who knows when he came out like a poisonous snake.

So this marriage should be settled earlier.
Qiduo watched Shen Nan's family of three leave before turning around and entering the courtyard, closing the courtyard door.

There was still the smell of food in the yard, Erxia and Liuju were busy washing dishes in the kitchen, and Changsheng was tidying up the tables and chairs in the yard.

Qiduo went to help and chatted with him about the situation in the academy.

It was only when she heard Mrs. Zhao's voice in the room that she realized that Mrs. Zhao hadn't left yet.

When the things were almost packed, Qiduo opened the door and went in, seeing that Mrs. Zhao hadn't come out yet.

"Qiduo, you came just in time, sit down quickly, grandma will ask you a few words." Seeing Qiduo, Mrs. Zhao smiled very rarely and waved to her.

Qiduo looked at Xu Shi and Tan Dejin.

Xu smiled wryly at her and shook his head.

"Grandma, what's the matter?" Qiduo sat down beside Xu Shi, looked at Zhao Shi and asked.

"Qiduo, where is that Mr. Wen from? What does his family do? What's his family background? Who are there in the family, how well does he do? How old is he this year, and is he married?" Mrs. Zhao asked all the time.

Qiduo's face turned black.

All of a sudden, I understood what Zhao Shi meant by asking these words.

She couldn't help being a little funny, this grandma really wanted to be rich and crazy.

Leaving aside what kind of character and family background Wen Xiuyi is, let's first talk about Tan Guihua's own conditions, not about her looks, after all, she is born without a choice, but what about her character and virtue?

Delicious and lazy, he knows neither field work nor piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The needlework girls are in a mess, unable to lift their shoulders or hands, and cannot read big characters.Such a person, not to mention marrying a rich family to be a young mistress, even if marrying an ordinary peasant family, they are not willing to want it.

No big or small to the elders, bad words to the juniors, selfishness... After thinking about it, Qiduo really couldn't think of Tan Guihua's advantages, all she could think of were her unbearable shortcomings.
Although it is said that the hearts of parents in the world are pitiful, parents hope that their daughters can marry a good family and have a good home, but you have to take care of how much you have.

"Grandma, I don't know anything about what you said." Qiduo pursed her lips and answered seriously.

Not to mention, Mrs. Zhao really asked the wrong person. She really doesn't know these questions.

But, she can help inquire about it.

Mrs. Zhao's face sank, thinking that Qiduo was unwilling to tell the truth, and angrily said, "Qiduo, you girl is too dishonest. Seeing that you are very familiar with Mr. Wen, how could you not know these simple questions? What? , this branch, are your wings really hard? Are you unwilling to tell the truth? Tell..."

Qiduo was tired of hearing these clichés, so she interrupted Mrs. Zhao, "Grandma, why are you asking Mr. Wen about these things?"

Mrs. Zhao quickly put back the swear words, straightened her back, "It's nothing, just asking casually."

How can I tell people what I have in mind.

Besides, there is Erxia, if the boss and the others knew their plan, and based on their relationship with Mr. Wen, they made plans for Erxia beforehand, wouldn't they be making clothes for others?
"Oh, I was thinking that grandma, if you have something important, I can go and ask for it. Since it's just a casual question, then forget it, grandma, I'm going to take a bath, ah, I'm really tired today, I'm so sleepy." Qiduo responded indifferently, got up and stretched comfortably, and made a gesture to go out.

She wanted to force Mrs. Zhao to speak her mind.

Xu pursed her lips and smiled quietly, knowing that Qiduo was pretending to be confused on purpose.

Mrs. Zhao's question was so obvious that most people could hear the implication.

Seeing that Qiduo was about to leave, Mrs. Zhao became a little anxious.

She didn't know Wen Xiuyi at all, if she wanted to know his news, she could only get it from Qiduo.

"Wait!" Mrs. Zhao called to stop Qiduo, then swallowed, looked at Tan Dejin and Mrs. Xu and said seriously, "Boss, wife of the boss, I can say my ugly words first, Mr. Wen is the one I like, you guys But you are not allowed to do that kind of poaching from behind your back."

"Mother, don't worry. To Mr. Wen, our family only treats them as benefactors, and we dare not have other ideas." Xu responded somewhat dumbfounded.

At the same time, she was very speechless about what Mrs. Zhao did.

How can a person of this age be so confused.

With Xu's words, Zhao seemed relieved, and then said to Qiduo, "Qiduo, although you are young, but judging by your usual demeanor, you are sensible and more stable than ordinary girls. Grandma won't hide it from you, Mr. Wen is very talented, I like him very much, I want to inquire about his situation, if he is not married yet, I would like to ask someone to match him with your sister-in-law.

Qiduo, sister-in-law is your elder, she has a good home, so naturally she won't forget you.So, you'd better go and ask grandma about it tomorrow, okay? "

It was rare for him to let go of his airs and speak his mind very sincerely.

Qiduo sighed softly in her heart, alas!

"Okay, grandma, I will try to find a way to help in these two days." Qiduo nodded in agreement, and when she saw Zhao's face beaming, she said, "Grandma, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not. "

"What are you talking about?" Seeing that Qiduo was willing to help, Mrs. Zhao's attitude improved a lot, and her tone of voice was a little more cordial than usual.

Tan Dejin and Mrs. Xu looked at Qiduo nervously, not knowing what she was going to say, and worried that they would annoy Mrs. Zhao.

Qiduo knew that what she was about to say was not pleasant, but she really didn't want to see Mrs. Zhao continue to be so obsessed, so she had to wake her up.

Since no one wants to be this villain, it's okay to do it yourself.

"Grandma, what do you think are the advantages of my sister-in-law that will attract the attention of the mistresses of those rich families?" Qiduo asked very directly.

"This..." Zhao's face showed embarrassment. After thinking for a long time, he really didn't expect anything to be put on the table, and his face turned dark all of a sudden, "Damn girl, I asked you to help me find out, but you actually took this Come stab me."

Qiduo shook her head solemnly, "Grandma, please don't be angry, I don't mean to say this maliciously, as you said, my sister-in-law is my elder, my father's younger sister, and our Tan family, of course I hope she can Marry a good family, and if we tell it, we will have glory on our face.

However, we also have to consider practical issues. First of all, we are from the countryside, and we are not in the same household as the city people. If my sister-in-law is not particularly outstanding, it is not easy to marry into a rich family in the county. thing.Just like Sister Damei kept saying that she wanted to find a good family for Sister Sandao, but there was no news, so she knew that it was not easy to climb the ranks of the people in the city.

Second, big families are good, everyone wears gold and silver, eats delicious food and drinks spicy food, orders maids and servants, looks very dignified.But the big family has many rules, has higher demands on the daughter-in-law, and there are many intrigues inside, so I don't think it's as good as it looks.

So, I hope that grandma will either turn her eyes back and find a small family with a kind family, or let my sister-in-law work harder on needlework, and then grandma, you will teach my sister-in-law how to manage the house and how to behave It's hard to get a foothold if you don't have a good face when you work and become a daughter-in-law of a rich family.

Grandma, what do you think? "
Zhao's face was so dark that it was about to drip water.

　Sahua thanked Sister May for her safe amulets, and thanked FPYkuiki, 24758882, and 2423864121 for their pink tickets. I love you all! !
