Wangfu small peasant girl

Chapter 1236 Xu Pingqiu's Marriage
Minglang thought for a while, "Let's leave this matter alone and see what he's going to do. If he's really so annoying, he can do whatever he wants."

"Yes."

Qi Lei found out the matter clearly, and told Qi Sheng all the news as if asking for credit.

"Young Master, I have found out. That family lives in Yongning Village and is a big family in the village. The girl that the Young Master likes is also from Yongning Village. Her surname is Xu. Earlier, the Xu family sold the girl to pay off the eldest grandson's debt. Now It's the maid of the Ming Mansion."

Qi Sheng's eyes lit up, "So, that girl's family is all here?"

"Yes, they are from the village."

"That would be great." Qi Sheng laughed. Now thinking of the man's gloomy gaze, he felt chills down his spine. Going to his house to ask for a maid is nothing scary to say, if he really goes , It's really scary.

But if the family members are all there, and the family members sell her for money, then they must be the ones who take money seriously, isn't it money?Just give it.

That little beauty is really pretty, and it's just right to be a daughter-in-law when she gets it back.

"Hurry up, find a matchmaker to test out the rumors, if it works, immediately settle it with me, and find a day to bring him back." Qi Sheng directly made a decision.

"Hey, little one understands." Qi Lei often does this kind of thing, and he is already very good at it.

On October [-]th, a matchmaker dressed in red and green came to Yongning Village and went directly to Xu's family. At this moment, Xu's family was working in the fields. It was a coincidence that Xu Qiaosheng came back to drink water. I saw someone knocking on the door of the house.

"Who are you looking for?" Xu Qiaosheng frowned, thinking it was a thief.

The matchmaker turned her head and immediately laughed, "This must be the owner of this house, right? I am the matchmaker in the town. Someone has taken a fancy to your granddaughter and asked me to be the matchmaker."

Xu Qiaosheng was taken aback, but didn't come back to his senses for a moment, "My granddaughter?"

"Yeah, it's your granddaughter, old man, call the family back, let's talk about it carefully." The matchmaker smiled, and the job was done, and the reward was at least five taels of silver, so she had to do it well.

Xu Qiaosheng came to his senses, this should be Pingqiu, right?
When he got excited, he even forgot that Xu Pingqiu had already sold it to Xu Ruyue, and immediately nodded, "Tell me first, what kind of family is it, I am the master of this family, and I will listen to it."

"Okay then." The matchmaker thought to herself, the old man is indeed in charge of most people's family affairs, and it must be the same in this family, and other people just come back to listen to the excitement.

The matchmaker entered the yard, Xu Qiaosheng poured her a bowl of water, and then asked her, "Where is the other party from?"

"Oh, old man, your granddaughter is very lucky. The person who fell in love with her is the fifth young master of the Qi family in the town. This Qi family is engaged in big business and has some businesses in various places. Although the fifth young master did not go into business, But he is in an official career, he studies very hard, and at the age of 20, he is already a scholar."

Xu Qiaosheng's eyes lit up when he heard it, scholar, there is no scholar in their family yet, it's amazing.

"This young master of the Qi family is in such good condition, how could he fall in love with my Qiu'er?" Xu Qiaosheng was still puzzled.

"Of course it's because your granddaughter is beautiful, and she is sensible at first glance. Those big families like to pick simple girls from the countryside. There is nothing wrong with her. She likes it."

Xu Qiaosheng was confused and believed all these words, "Master Qi really has a crush on Qiu'er?"

"The matchmaker has been invited, so how can there be a fake? The fifth young master is afraid that the marriage will not go through, and it will damage Miss Xu's reputation, so I specially asked my wife to find out. The fifth young master said that he is willing to pay 100 taels The dowry money of silver, there will still be [-] dowry gifts at that time, I have never seen such a dowry gift in the countryside, the old man thinks about it carefully, and if he thinks it is good, I will call back."

Xu Qiaosheng was shocked, so many?Qiu'er, a country girl, can be worth so much dowry, and the other party is a scholar, the young master of a wealthy family, what is there to say?
"My Qiu'er married to be a concubine, right? I won't agree to this. Our Xu family is poor, and girls don't allow others to be concubines."

The matchmaker immediately laughed, "Hey, the old man really thought too much, how could he be a concubine? That's a serious young lady, the fifth young master is sincere, the old man can understand."

Seeing that he hesitated, the matchmaker directly took out a bag of silver, "Here is the deposit of 30 taels of silver, please accept it, the old man, let's settle this matter verbally, and after a few days, the fifth young master will prepare the dowry and come over in person .”

Xu Qiaosheng looked at the bag of silver, and his heart suddenly became aroused. 30 taels of silver is a lot.

"This... I should discuss it with my family. Qiu'er and her parents are working in the field." Xu Qiaosheng was still not completely confused.

The matchmaker immediately said, "Hey, old man, you still can't be the master in this family? The old people are still there, so how can the son have the right to speak? Let me see, if you like this marriage, it will be settled after you settle down." I'll talk to my family when they come back tonight, I have other things to do, I can't afford to delay."

Xu Qiaosheng was irritated by that sentence of being unable to make decisions. He has indeed had a rough time in the past year. The old woman doesn't pay attention to him anymore, and the sons have lost their previous respectful attitude.

Yes, he is the head of the Xu family, and he has the final say on Pingqiu's marriage.

Thinking of this, Xu Qiaosheng accepted the money, "Okay, I'll tell them about this in detail tonight, please take this trip."

The matchmaker happily said, "It's done, then I'll leave first, the fifth young master will come in a few days, and the Xu family will have a happy event then."

Xu Qiaosheng nodded, feeling very happy.

His father hid the money, took the water and went back to the field.

Mrs. Lin was chattering. Seeing him smiling, she couldn't help asking, "Old man, what good thing happened to you? Laughing like this."

Xu Qiaosheng looked around and saw that there were too many people, so he didn't say, "Go back tonight and talk about it, anyway, it's a good thing."

Although Lin was puzzled, she didn't ask any more questions. Let's wait until night.

After finishing work and having dinner, Xu Qiaosheng called his family to stop and didn't let them go.

"Sit down, I have something to say."

Xu Qiaosheng looked at the couple, "Second brother, your Pingqiu family is not too young, and you will be sixteen after the end of the new year. There is no marriage agreement yet, so you should take this matter to heart."

"Today, someone came to propose marriage. He is a big family in the town and a scholar. I think this matter is good, and it has been decided."
