Liu Er Fanwai (61)
At the beginning of Shen Shi, Feng Zhixi hadn't come back yet.
Liu'er was holding a round fan with a peacock lacquer handle embroidered with Baijuan. While shaking the fan gently, she said irritably, "Why haven't you come back yet? Send someone to take a look."
It's almost two hours, what kind of wine are you eating here, and you haven't come back for such a long time.
The maid hurriedly went out again.
Liu'er said: "My mother changed the time of the exam to May, those candidates who are better off don't have to suffer from the cold. But those who plan to get married after the exam, it will be difficult." How can we do marriage in June and July? . Not to mention that the food is easy to go rancid, but in such a hot weather, the bride wears a thick wedding dress, and she must be sick from the heat.
In previous years, after the exam, many people held wedding events. But since the time of the examination was changed, the marriage has been moved to September and October.
Shi Liu said with a smile: "The empress dowager's move will benefit scholars all over the world."
Liu'er was about to speak when she heard footsteps outside. Liu'er hurriedly stood up and greeted her.
Before getting close to Feng Zhixi, Liu'er smelled a choking smell of alcohol: "How much wine have you drunk?"
Feng Zhi blushed and said: "Liu'er, you must agree to this marriage. Jiaojiao will definitely live well in the future if she marries him."
With Xu Wenchang's talent, he is sure to be a great minister. Feng Zhixi is very excited when he thinks about having a female student who will be the prime minister in the future.
Liu Er asked: "Is it really that good?"
"Not only does he look good, but his words and deeds are not inferior to those noble sons in the capital. In addition, he can drink well and drink well. He is also very humble." Anyway, Feng Zhixi has been completely conquered by Xu Wenchang after a drink.
Hearing that Liu'er also wanted to meet Xu Wenchang: "Then find a chance, and I will meet you too."
"Then you go to meet tomorrow, and then settle their marriage earlier." Anyway, Feng Zhixi already regarded Xu Wenchang as his son-in-law.
Liu'er rolled her eyes at Feng Zhixi: "What's the rush?" Even if this woman has a crush on her, she has to be more reserved. If you want to be anxious, you have to let the man be anxious, and if the woman is in a hurry, the price will drop, which will make the other party look down upon it.
Feng Zhixi hoped that Jiaojiao's marriage would be finalized earlier: "Xu Wenchang is not young anymore. After the marriage is settled, we will probably have to agree on the date of the marriage." Mainly because Xu Wenchang is twenty-three. Children of the same age are probably already enlightened. Therefore, when the marriage is settled, we must talk about marriage.
Hearing this, Liu'er was not happy: "I plan to wait until Jiaojiao turns eighteen before getting married. Even if we are really engaged, the wedding date has to be set at the end of next year."
"Don't worry about this, we have to settle the marriage quickly now." Feng Zhixi was afraid that if Liu'er refused again, this son-in-law would become someone else's family.
Liu Er said: "Then I'll see him in three days!" As a woman, she must have a high posture. Only in this way can it appear that my daughter is precious.
Feng Zhixi was unwilling: "Just the day after tomorrow!"
By coincidence, Cui Qianqian just returned to Beijing this afternoon. On the second day, she came to the British government to visit Liu Er.
Zhuangyuan Lang once again asked the matchmaker to go to Feng's family to propose marriage, and this matter caused a lot of trouble in the capital. Although Cui Qianqian had just returned to Beijing, she had heard about it.
The two sat down and chatted about some homework, and then they talked about the marriage of their children. Liu'er smiled and said, "This time when you come back, it's time to set Huihui's wedding date."
Qianqian smiled and said, "Huihui is only sixteen years old, so don't worry." Both Tong and Tang Jinxiu knew that a woman who gave birth too early would be bad for both herself and the child, so they didn't urge her. What the two of them meant was to wait until Huihui turned seventeen before entering the house. In this way, when you are eighteen years old when you give birth, you don't have to worry about damaging your body.
"After the marriage is settled, it doesn't matter if we get married later. Unlike Jiaojiao, the marriage has not been settled for a long time, and I'm almost dying of anxiety." It's her mother, so she must say that cousins getting married is not good for the heirs. Otherwise, it would be much easier to just promise Jiaojiao to Changsheng.
Cui Qianqian was a little surprised: "It's not that Xu Zhuangyuan has come to ask for a kiss twice. What, you are not going to agree this time? Let me tell you how many people are watching outside,
I hope you refuse. In this way, they may have a chance. "
Liu'er said with a sad face: "Hey, you don't know that Xu Zhuangyuan was brought up by his widowed mother."
Cui Qianqian asked, "How is the Xu family's family situation?"
"I heard there are only a few acres of Susukida." Knowing the background of Xu's family, Liu'er was even more incredulous: "If it were an ordinary woman, it would be a problem to support a few children. But Mrs. Xu, a young woman, relies on A few acres of Susukida not only raised three children, but also cultivated two sons. Think about it, how powerful this old lady is! I don’t worry about Jiaojiao marrying her.”
"But Xu Wenchang is so good, if you miss it, you won't be afraid of regretting it in the future? Are you afraid that Jiaojiao will blame you?" The last sentence is the key point.
In front of Cui Qianqian, Liu'er never concealed: "If Xu Wenchang was not too good, I would not have considered this family background at all." The criteria for choosing a son-in-law are not even a little bit worse than hers.
They all have sons and daughters, Cui Qianqian understands Liu'er's entanglement: "What does the son-in-law say?"
Liu'er said with a bitter face: "My father-in-law and my father-in-law met him yesterday in the Fuyun Building, and almost agreed to the marriage. If I hadn't said before that Jiaojiao's marriage must be my nod, otherwise I would never recognize it. The son-in-law must have agreed to this marriage."
"What does Jiaojiao say? The child's opinion is also very important." When Tang Jinxiu proposed marriage to Qianqian, Qianqian was also hesitant. Later, after listening to Liu'er's suggestion, I asked Huihui and Cui Hangkun what they meant. Only then did I know that the two children had long been interested. Now Cui Qianqian didn't hesitate any more, and immediately agreed to the marriage.
Speaking of this, Liu'er got dizzy: "I didn't tell her, she still doesn't know about it!"
Cui Qianqian laughed: "She's usually so shrewd, how could she be so stupid this time. There's a lot of rumors outside, and Jiaojiao is not a caged bird who doesn't have contact with the outside world, so how could she not know about it?"
Liu'er's expression changed slightly. With Jiaojiao's temperament, if she didn't want to, she would come and tell her earlier. Not saying anything now shows that she actually has intentions.
Seeing her expression, Qianqian knew what she was thinking, and immediately laughed: "They all came from when they were young. If such a handsome and talented man came to propose marriage to you, would you be indifferent?"
Liu'er said: "With your precedent, I am really worried about marrying Jiaojiao to the Xu family."
Cui Qianqian said with a smile: "Not all widowed women are like my mother-in-law. There are also some who are very kind and loving."
"I know this. But the problem is that I have never met Mrs. Xu, and I don't even know her temperament. I really don't know what to do if I rashly agree to this marriage." After finishing speaking, Liu Er looked at Qianqian Said: "Not only the son-in-law, but also my father-in-law and mother-in-law also think this marriage is very good. It seems that if I refuse, I will hurt Jiaojiao."
Even Cui Qianqian thinks this marriage is very good. But looking at Liu'er's entanglement, Cui Qianqian didn't say what she thought, but said: "In this case, why don't you ask the Queen Mother for help. In terms of people's eyesight, I don't think there is anyone better than the Queen Mother." .”
Liu'er shook her head and said, "I haven't met anyone myself, so I can't tell her. I plan to meet Xu Wenchang tomorrow, and then tell my mother."
Cui Qianqian smiled and said: "The son-in-law and the Duke agreed to this marriage after meeting Xu Wenchang. What if you were also impressed by Xu Wenchang's talent after meeting and agreed to this marriage. If you don’t live well, you will regret it for the rest of your life.”
"Liu'er, some people are very good at pretending. The empress dowager also has experienced wind and rain before she can see the essence of a person through the surface. And you, these years have been going smoothly, I don't think you have the eyesight of the empress dowager." She I think Xu Wenchang is very good, if it is her, she will be swayed and change her original intention. But to be on the safe side, it's better to let the queen mother hold the palm of her hand.
Hearing this, Liu'er couldn't help laughing and said: "Then my father-in-law also came from the bloody storm, don't you think his eyesight is not good?"
Cui Qianqian paused, and said, "I respect uncle very much, but he is far worse than the empress dowager in choosing a son-in-law." Feng Lianwu certainly had problems, but Ding Sanyang not only raised the outer room but also beat Feng Lianwu to death. Lying in bed and being unable to get up, it can be seen that his character is poor. But Zao Zao and Liu Er, both of them lived happily.
After finishing speaking, Cui Qianqian looked at Liu'er and said, "Liu'er, men look at people differently from us. For them, the most important thing is talent, and character is second. For us women, character is the most important thing. Temperament, appearance and family background are equally important."
The two have known each other for so many years, how could Cui Qianqian not understand Liu'er. Liu Er is also a very talented person. Ordinary people may still be able to handle it, but Xu Wenchang is too good. He is so good that no one who has met him doesn't like him. Including her, they also think this is an excellent marriage. Cui Qianqian didn't think that Liu'er had the determination to refuse.
After being told by Cui Qianqian, Liu'er became more and more uncertain. The husband and father-in-law were impressed by Xu Wenchang's talent, and she was also moved by the evaluation of outsiders.
Cui Qianqian said: "My opinion is to let the empress dowager see Xu Wenchang first. If the empress dowager thinks that Xu Wenchang is a man who can be entrusted to her for life, then there is no problem. On the contrary, no matter how good Xu Wenchang is, she cannot agree to this marriage. "
Liu'er heard this, nodded and said, "I'll go to Baihuayuan later."
Cui Qianqian felt that it was not too late, so she got up and said goodbye and went home.
When Liu'er arrived at Baihuayuan, it happened that Yunqing and Yuxi were having lunch.
Yuxi ordered Meilan to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and then said with a smile: "I didn't know you came here, so I didn't ask the kitchen to cook more, so let's just eat!" People who come to husband and wife are two dishes and one soup. However, their dishes will not be the same for a month. Unless Yunqing or Yuxi think it's delicious, let the kitchen do it.
Liu'er has something on her mind, even if she eats dragon liver and phoenix gall, she won't have an appetite anymore.
Looking at Liu'er like this, Yun Qing has no appetite. Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Yunqing asked: "If you have anything to say, you can talk about it first, and then we can eat!"
Liu Er told about her meeting with Xu Wenchang tomorrow.
