The farm has a phoenix

Chapter 16 My Daughter Won't Marry

After sending the two of them out of the house, Old Ghost Ye's voice could still be heard from far away.

"See? I'm a farmer, can't you? So you can't always think about eating peaches, but also think about how to grow peaches..."

Zhan Jinfeng couldn't help laughing and rolled his eyes, then closed the door and entered the room.

The peaches planted in the corner are alive, and this bracelet is really unusual. If the peaches are on the market in the future, maybe some other fruits can be sold, and my mother's illness will improve as a result, so it's worth noting the bit of land.

It's just that today I can't bear it anymore, the relationship with Mrs. Chen is tense, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful in the next few days.

Ye Laogui and Chen Youan were walking back, and they were still arguing about the peach just now. To put it bluntly, Chen Youan didn't believe that Ye Laogui planted these peaches!
"You said you raised it, why didn't you raise it in the yard of your home? It was obviously raised by that little girl, and you are just asking for credit."

Hearing this, Old Ghost Ye coughed in embarrassment, and looked away: "Why would I bother to do that kind of thing? I am obviously the one who supports me."

The two were talking, but a deep voice came from behind.

"Mr. Chen, junior Chen Shaoyan pays his respects to Mr. Chen."

Hearing this, Old Ghost Ye's eyelids twitched, and he glanced at the people around him, only to see that Chen You'an had turned around, pinching his beard and looking behind calmly.

Chen Shaoyan rushed to Chen You'an to perform the Confucian ceremony. He looked curiously at the old man who was still facing away from him, and said, "Mr. Chen, my father would like to invite you to visit the capital. The capital is at its best now. I also hope that sir will appreciate it."

Chen You'an was a little hesitant, the Chen family was a famous family in the capital, and it was definitely not something as simple as just going for a walk.

Just as he was thinking, Old Ghost Ye leaned over quietly, nudged Chen You'an with his elbow, and whispered: "Old fellow, please go if you please, don't you always want to make a big splash?"

Chen You'an lowered his eyes. He used to want to make a name for himself in the official career, but unfortunately he refused to bribe those corrupt officials, so he was framed. Since then, his journey has been full of twists and turns. That's why he went to the remote countryside to farm and entertain himself.

"Lian Po is old, can he still eat?" Chen You'an couldn't help laughing at himself.

"Hmph, is there still enough to eat? I see that you have eaten a lot of peaches, and you have eaten all the baskets that the little girl gave me, and I don't see that you can't digest them!"

Chen You'an couldn't help laughing, he seemed to think over and over again, and finally made up his mind.

"Okay, the old man will go to see you at Maoshi tomorrow!"

Chen Shaoyan was overjoyed when he heard the words, saluted again, and then left gracefully.

But Chen You'an looked at the back, and couldn't help feeling: "You can go out to do things alone at a young age, you are really young and promising."

He lowered his head inadvertently, but saw Ye Laogui turned around at some point, staring at the figure who had already left with piercing eyes, but there was a faint smile on his face.

"Don't look at whose blood is shed in the bones!"

Chen You'an pinched his beard and asked in confusion: "You mean Ning Guogong Chen Ning Rong? That all-round talent in civil and military affairs, the founding veteran of the Great Former Dynasty?"

Ye Laogui laughed, then turned and walked home.

"Old man, in the future, you will be on the rise, don't forget that there is a gentle rural water moon mirror flower on the top, and there is a dripping wind blowing away the clouds and fog!"

Seeing that frivolous people seldom utter words of advice, Chen You'an couldn't help but smile. Ye Laogui told him what was true and what was false, and hoped that he would not fall into it and be unable to extricate himself.

In the early morning of the second day, Chen Youan went to the agreed place, and saw a group of people waiting there from a distance. Chen Shaoyan was dressed very formally today, with a white jade hair crown, soft armor inlaid with gold, and a bright red coat In the brocade blouse, with a cold sword pinned to his waist, there is a bit more heroism between the brows, but it is not the same as the scholar's a few days ago.

Thinking about Rongguo Gong Chen Ning Rong's background as a military general, even the literati in the Chen Mansion admired martial arts, but they all inherited the blood of the old general, and they were all talented in both civil and military affairs.

After a few days, there was still no sign of rain, and the sun was scorching people uncomfortable. Zhan Jinfeng bought the land for two taels of silver and handed it to his mother.

Zhan Xiuyun had already told the cause and effect of the matter, and Zhan Xiuyun didn't say much, but she didn't keep wrinkling, as if she had something on her mind.

"Mom, it's time to take the medicine." Zhan Jinfeng brought the medicine carefully.

"Good boy, it's not a good thing for you to quarrel with your aunt. In the future, you will marry and offend your mother-in-law, so what can you do?"

She didn't want to marry in the past, but now that she heard these words, she was not worried: "Then when my aunt comes, I will accompany her again, but I didn't expect that those people were brought by my aunt, so that's why it happened." .”

Zhan Xiuyun sighed: "It would be great if my mother wasn't sick."

There was sourness in Zhan Jinfeng's eyes: "Mom, you will get better, the same as before."

Zhan Xiuyun smiled and reached out to rub her daughter's cheek: "Good boy, if your aunt comes, remember to say something nice, you understand?"

Zhan Jinfeng could only nod.

The mother and daughter were talking when they heard the creaking sound of the outside door being opened, and then Mrs. Chen walked in with a smile. , Seeing that you look good, you think it's much better?"

"Much better, please sit down, sister!"

Chen Shihao sat on the kang head unceremoniously, turned his head to look at Zhan Jinfeng who was downcast, and said with a smile: "Feng'er, I have something to say to your mother, you go out and play for a while."

Zhan Jinfeng looked at his mother, saw her nodding, and then backed out.

It was unpleasant a few days ago, but now suddenly ran to the door to find mother as if nothing happened, and had to distract himself, it would definitely not be a good thing.

Thinking of Zhan Jinfeng, he quietly went to the window sill and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.

Seeing the people leave, Chen smiled and said: "Big sister, my sister is just here to ask, is the big sister sincerely wanting to marry Feng'er to our family A Lang?"

"That's natural. After all, Feng'er is my daughter. How can a mother not hope for the well-being of her daughter?"

Chen's eyelids lowered: "In this case, then we should invite a matchmaker earlier and set a date, we can all feel at ease."

"This..." It's not that Zhan Xiuyun doesn't look forward to her daughter getting married, but because she knows that the two of them had a quarrel some time ago, she wants to wait for the misunderstanding to be cleared up, so that her daughter will be less stared at.

"It's all because of my illness. Now I have no one to take care of me. What should I do?"

"What's the point? Our two families are next to each other, and when we get married, won't Feng'er still be able to serve the eldest sister every day? Wouldn't it be much better for A Lang to come with me?"

"But it costs money to hire a matchmaker. The money I earn now is spent on medicine..."

"No money?" Chen couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Didn't you just sell the land and get two taels of silver, and you also bought medicine?"

The change in Chen's attitude made her hesitate, but she couldn't help coughing.

"Ahem... that... that..."

"Then what? I think my sister is reluctant to marry Feng'er to us countrymen. You come from the city, so naturally you don't like it, but you want to make fun of us, just make a joke!" Chen said with a sneer He said: "If my sister thinks, how can this Nuoda's family not save money for a matchmaker? Don't I know that you secretly sell embroidery? Peaches that sell for twenty cents and one tael are more expensive than anyone else, money Wouldn't it disappear out of thin air? Could it be that the harvest at home can't be sold? Don't think that my sister is so stupid that she can't see anything. If you dare to regret the marriage, I, the Chen family, will guarantee it. In these ten miles and eight villages, you don't want to marry anyone !"

The ruthless words came out all at once, and now the situation has become unavoidable, Zhan Xiuyun felt a little regretful for a while, and she even thought of marrying her daughter to this family!
There was a tightness in the chest, Zhan Xiuyun coughed violently, and Chen sat aside in disgust: "Okay, isn't your illness better? What do you want to pretend?"

She looked at the man who suddenly changed his face in surprise, and suddenly thought of the sentence her daughter once said: Knowing people, knowing the face, not knowing the heart.

"Cough...no...don't marry!" Zhan Xiuyun covered her mouth, blushed while coughing, and said with wide eyes: "My daughter, don't marry!"
