Chapter 1193 Selfishness
"Ahem?" Xiao Xiuzhu coughed twice and said a poem, "My fair lady, a gentleman is so generous. I am also a commoner. I want to show off in front of the old lady in advance, but I am a little reckless.
I hope the old lady won’t be offended.”
When Xiao Xiuzhu was talking, his peripheral vision involuntarily fell on Lin Sanmei.
The others also followed suit. Lin Sanmei blushed, glared at Xiao Xiuzhu, and quickly hid behind Ye Yuran.
Xiao Xiuzhu shamelessly smiled at her flatteringly.
Ye Yuran saw it and burst into laughter: "Master Xiao is really... decisive in his actions. I just don't know about your actions. Do the elders in the family know about them? Since ancient times, the matchmaker has been regarded as a good match and has been blessed by the elders in the family.
That’s the long-lasting way.”
"This junior will naturally report this matter to the elders in the family. Don't worry, old lady." In fact, Xiao Xiuzhu was a little embarrassed, because according to the rules of the Xiao family, if the girl he fell in love with was the girl, he had to pursue it himself.
After the other party nods, the elders in the family will go out to propose marriage.
Woohoo...
But he was unlucky. The elders in the family helped him look for several uncles. When it came to him, she didn't like the ones introduced by the elders, but she fell in love with one of them.
Although his family status is a bit low, the Xiao family does not rely on this to make a living in the first place. He himself is a high-ranking scholar and has a good reputation, so the conditions are a little more tolerant.
What's more, the Zhu family is from a poor family, but it is also a family with a long history of farming and education. There are also two talented people in the family, and one of the daughters-in-law is from the Xu family in Luanzhou. Although they are from a low family, they are not completely incapable of success.
Moreover, those two scholars seemed to have passed the imperial examination for the first time. One of them was also famous in the prefecture school in Pushou City - he had a photographic memory. People with such ability, the Xiao family also
I don’t think the other party will hold me back.
Those two people are still very young. Regardless of the similar results this time, they will definitely take the exam in the future. Even if they cannot pass the Jinshi exam in the future, as long as they pass the Juzi exam, they can still pass the Xiao family exam as a last resort.
Relationships, let them become officials through big selection.
In other words, for a faction like the Xiao family, which has little official power but holds real power, the Zhu family, which doesn't look like much, is actually a very good choice.
I didn't expect that there would be such a thing behind the Xiao family. It was like listening to gossip. After hearing Xiao Xiuzhu's words, Ye Yuran couldn't help but laugh: "Hahahaha... Ouch, your old lady thought of me.
I went there and had the opportunity to really sit down and chat for a while. I feel like we should hit it off."
Ye Yuran said that she had absolutely no intention of reading Xiao Xiuzhu's joke.
But if I introduce you to something you don’t like, you should choose the one you like. You can chase the girl yourself, make the girl nod, and then go to the door to propose marriage...
Is this something that ordinary people can do?
This Mrs. Xiao is indeed very interesting. If this had not always been the tradition of the Xiao family, Ye Yuran would have suspected that this little old lady had the same origin as her.
In this era where men and women are not close to each other, and children are not seated at the same table when they are seven years old, this approach of the Xiao family is somewhat "surprising".
Of course, Ye Yuran doesn't rule out that the Xiao family wants to train their descendants - either you listen to the arrangements of the elders in the family, or if you don't want to listen, then you have to find a way to make a fortune on your own.
And Xiao Xiuzhu happens to be the "disobedient" one.
After interrogating Xiao Xiuzhu, Ye Yuran was sure that there was no problem with his character, so he found an excuse and took Xu Yujin and Lin Simei away, leaving space for the newly minted couple...
They can't be considered a couple yet, they can only be said to be interested in each other and are developing.
Because it was in the courtyard, and there were servants waiting nearby, Lin Sanmei also arranged for a maid to follow her, which didn't break the rules.
It's just that the servant is a servant, and she was suddenly left by everyone to stay with a man, and he was also a man who was interested in her. Lin Sanmei suddenly felt awkward.
When she met Xiao Xiuzhu two days ago, Lin Sanmei didn't know what was going on. She was still able to talk openly to others. Barabala said endlessly, but now that she knows what's going on, she feels sad in her heart.
It made me feel shy.
Lin Sanmei exclaimed in her heart: How could this be possible?!
This guy is actually interested in me?!
God, he is a scholar, a famous scholar, and he is very good-looking...
Lin Sanmei felt embarrassed and secretly looked at others from time to time.
She really didn't expect that she would be attracted by such a person. She always thought that if such a person wanted to admire him, he should also admire a girl who loved pen and ink like her fourth sister.
Unlike her, although she can read and write, unfortunately her handwriting is not beautiful enough and she has not read enough books, so she can only make mistakes in accounting and manage the shop...
Without the elders around, Xiao Xiuzhu immediately became bolder. He looked at Lin Sanmei with a smile and deliberately teased her: "Didn't you talk a lot before? Why did you suddenly talk so little today?"
Lin Shanmei glared at him and said, "Who talks too much? Stop talking nonsense."
"Really? Did I remember it wrong?" Xiao Xiuzhu pretended to think for a moment and said, "I remember that there was a person who kept talking in my ear... how good her sister's embroidered purse was.
, how kind her aunt was to her, oh, by the way, she even drove away one of them very bravely..."
The elder's voice was so loud that Lin Sanmei became angry: "Why are you like this? Just now in front of my aunt, you were so serious. Why did your aunt and the others deliberately..."
"What's the purpose?"
"Deliberately bullying me?"
"I bullied you? Really? Why did I bully you? Tell me..."
…
Youth!
This is youth!
After Ye Yuran and the others left, although they didn't know what would happen to the two people in the yard, they could make some guesses.
If Lin Sanmei had no interest in the other party, Lin Sanmei would not have been so eager to help others. Just now, when Ye Yuran made excuses to leave, Lin Sanmei would not have pretended not to know and just stayed.
Everything is just a matter of course.
Xu Yujin followed Ye Yuran, with a hint of surprise on her face: "I really didn't expect that the third sister would have such luck. I originally thought that it would be enough to choose a small rich family, but I didn't expect that I would be chosen."
Young Master Xiao has fallen in love with her."
"Then Third Sister must like him, otherwise, no matter how good Mr. Xiao is, he has nothing to do with our Zhu family." Ye Yuran is still relatively confident about the girls she has raised by herself.
"It's true that after all, it's their fate. We held so many flower parties before, and I took them to so many of them, but there was no news at all. But when I went to the Xiao family, it was so...
The news just came, who knew it would be such a coincidence?" Xu Yujin finally breathed a sigh of relief and didn't have to worry about messing up the matter.
Those little twists and turns in the past scared her to death, for she was afraid that she would do something bad with good intentions and end up with her mother-in-law.
