Unparalleled Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 71 Thoughts on Liu Shaoyi (fourth update)
When the two arrived, Shu Mulu hadn't woken up for a long time. She was a little tired last night. She thought about her son's marriage at night, and when she was happy, she inevitably thought about it. She fell asleep a little late and woke up a little later than usual.

Hearing the servant girl's report that the two came so early, Shu Mulu was still surprised. Normally, in order to let Cheng'er sleep more, their family greeted her late in the morning, and she also made Fu Cha not have to come so early.

Shu Mulu really didn't feel used to the unexpected arrival so early.

Mrs. Shu Mulu hurriedly let them in, and seeing the two coming hand in hand, he couldn't stop smiling.

Tong Xuewen and Shu Yu said in unison: "Son/daughter-in-law, please greet Er Niang."

Shu Mulu hurriedly said: "Get up quickly, sit down and talk."

"Thank you mother."

After the two sat down, Mrs. Shu Mulu said: "I forgot to let someone tell you not to come so early. I was busy all day yesterday. It is only right to have a good rest."

Shu Yu couldn't answer those words, so Tong Xuewen said, "Er Niang kindly expressed her son and Shu Yu's heart, this is not because he wants to see Er Niang sooner, isn't it?"

Shu Mulu smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, you are the only one who can talk."

"The son is not poor-mouthed. What the son says is the truth."

Mrs. Shu Mulu briefly talked with the two of them, and felt that the time was almost up, so he ordered the dining room to start preparing breakfast.

During this period, Fucha family and Tong Xuewu couple came over, and then Tong Xuean also came over. As for Tong Cheng'er, she felt that she was exhausted yesterday, and she was more indulgent this morning, so she came here with a meal of.

As soon as she came, she saw that everyone was there, and she couldn't help but said, "Why are you here so early today?"

Mrs. Shu Mulu couldn't help but said to her: "It's obvious that you came too late, but you said that others came too early, and there is no such reason as you."

Tong Cheng'er: "I made a mistake, Er Niang, let me go!" But don't say any more, there is a newcomer in the family today, and Tong Cheng'er wants to make a good impression on the second sister-in-law!
Mrs. Shu Mulu took a look at her, and said nothing more to save her face this time.

Everyone was here, and breakfast was almost ready, taking advantage of this time, Tong Xuewen and Shu Yu offered tea together.

After serving tea, Shu Mulu gave Shu Yu a very good-looking mutton jade bracelet, which was about the same value as Fucha's back then, and Shu Mulu's bowl of water was mediocre to his two daughters-in-law.

Shu Yu sent out the gifts prepared for everyone one by one, and this was the end of the ceremony.

The family had breakfast together, and then they all got busy with their own affairs.

Others are busy, but Tong Cheng'er has nothing to do, and Shu Mulu's hands are free now, so she plans to take care of her daughter.

So Tong Cheng'er was left behind.

"Emiang won't let me go, but do you want to tell me something, or ask me to do something?"

Shu Mulu said deliberately: "How can I make you do things for me?"

Tong Cheng'er's eyes widened, and she felt that Er Niang was turning her back and refusing to admit it: "Er Niang, I did everything you asked me to do yesterday, and I don't want you to bury my own daughter like this."

Shu Mulu laughed at her: "It's worth mentioning that you did something like that, you are really capable."

Tong Cheng'er thought she was quite capable.

She felt that she was very busy yesterday, very tired!

"Let's not talk about that anymore. What exactly is Eriang asking me to say? Tell me quickly. I still have something to do when I go back."

Shu Mulu's heart was slightly sour, and she knew that it must be because of her cat: "Why are you so anxious, people are watching for nothing, and you won't starve her. Holding a kitten every day is more important than treating your mother. Don't be afraid to break my heart!"

Tong Cheng'er: ...

Tong Cheng'er: "If I'm in front of you every day, you don't have to bother me to death. I'm doing this for your own good, otherwise I'll move in to live with Er Niang tomorrow. I just need to warm Er Niang's bed every day. "

Shu Mulu shook her head and refused: "Forget it." She couldn't bear it, she was so lazy, she couldn't help but wanted to say it but she couldn't bear to say it, was it to make herself feel guilty for being too close.

After talking about gossip, Shu Mulu finally got to the point.

"To keep you today, I just want to ask you what you think of Liu Shaoyi?"

Tong Cheng'er understood what she meant, but she felt that she didn't want to think about it yet, so she pretended to be stupid and said, "Why do you think so? Why do I sound a little confused when Er Niang said this?"

Shu Mulu: "Don't play dumb with me, what I'm talking about is how would you feel if Liu Shaoyi was your husband-in-law?"

Tong Cheng'er quickly shook her head: "Not really."

Mrs. Shu Mulu was puzzled, this rejection was a bit quick: "Er Niang looks very good, she looks outstanding, I also asked your brothers about knowledge, and they all said it was good, he has lived at home for so long, what kind of People can also see that although you have no parents, no one will take care of you after you marry, so you can be as lazy as you want, why can't you do it?"

Although what Shu Mulu said was heart-warming, Tong Cheng'er just didn't like it, saying that rabbits don't even eat grass beside their nests!She can't be inferior to a rabbit!

Tong Cheng'er said helplessly: "Emiang, I'm still young, and it won't be too late to decide on my marriage after the draft."

Shu Mulu had an expression of "you don't understand": "After you make a decision after the draft, it will be too late. Liu Shaoyi will retire next year. He is not young, and his parents are not around. If you have no idea, when the time comes I also want to start arranging marriages for him, you can wait if you are under the age, but he can't wait."

Tong Cheng'er said indifferently: "In addition to arranging the marriage directly, it will save him delays. I don't have any thoughts about Brother Liu in that regard, and Er Niang will not mention it in the future."

Although they lived in the same mansion, men and women were different. Liu Shaoyi kept his filial piety and didn't see outsiders very often. The few times the two met was when the family got together.

Tong Cheng'er's impression of him was still that of a gentle scholar at first sight, as for the others, there were no more.

Shu Mulu looked at her and said worriedly, "Then tell me what kind of husband you want."

What kind of husband-in-law?
Tong Cheng'er really didn't think much about this question.

"Probably because she spoils me like Ama'eniang, and you can't dislike me for being lazy, and you can't take concubines, that's all."

Shu Mulu said rightly: "Your request is really very low!"

Tong Cheng'er smiled "hehe": "I also know that the requirements are a bit high, but I can always find them if I try hard. As for Brother Liu, let's forget about it. He is not young at all, so why delay him for another year."

As a person of integrity, she resolutely refuses to eat grass by the side of the nest.

Mrs. Shu Mulu told her all the time without saying anything, but Mrs. Shu Mulu still didn't give up the idea of ​​letting Liu Shaoyi be her son-in-law.

Shu Mulu thought about Liu Shaoyi's own conditions, and he still has the capital to attract girls. Cheng'er would refuse, because she didn't know him well. If that's the case, then she should create some opportunities for them to get to know each other.

Shu Mulu thought so, and decided to do the same.

As for creating opportunities to get along, this is also easy.

Living in the same mansion, there are too many opportunities to meet each other.
