Marchioness Brothel - Chapter 78

Mrs. Min showed great interest in Jiang Xiaolou and asked many questions gently.

Xie Kanghe was afraid of Jiang Xiaolou’s embarrassment, so he answered her one by one. But Mrs. Min just stared at Jiang Xiaolou, raising her eyes from time to time to look at her, the problem was very detailed. Who are the parents, where do they live, and whether there are relatives at home, there are several shops in Beijing, and they are all about how they operate.

Xie Kanghe will naturally help her round up places that can be rounded up. On the surface, there is nothing to find out. The situation that Mrs. Min finally learned was roughly similar to that of Princess An: Jiang Xiaolou was originally the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Liaozhou, and his family was very wealthy. Later, his father left home and came to the capital to do business and had many shops. After the unfortunate death of her father, she closed the business in Liaozhou and traveled all the way to the capital to join her father’s best friend Xie Kanghe. No matter how well the story is fabricated, there will be loopholes. Fortunately, Mrs. Min’s purpose is not here. Compared with Jiang Xiaolou’s identity, she cares more about the girl’s character and talent.

Wang Baozhen is a personal spirit, and she quickly saw something. Her mouth was as brilliant as a lotus. He praised Jiang Xiaolou as being in the sky but not underground. His speech and attitude were extremely courteous. It seemed that if Jiang Xiaolou hadn’t come from a business family, he would be a palace worker. The concubine also made it.

Xie Kanghe glanced at her coldly, and Wang Baozhen stopped immediately. Xie Kanghe said with a light cough, “We will prepare the rouge gouache needed by Mrs. Min as soon as possible, and will deliver it in person in the next day. Please rest assured.”

Mrs. Min smiled, knowing the meaning of the other party’s words, stood up and said: “So, I won’t bother.” After speaking, she took a deep look at Jiang Xiaolou, nodded with a smile, and left with a smile. .

Looking at her back, Xie Kanghe showed a pensive expression. He instructed everyone: “You all go out. I have something to talk to Xiaolou alone.”

Wang Baozhen knew that Xie Kanghe was upset by her self-assertion today, so she quickly lowered her eyes and obediently took her maid out of her house.

Xie Kanghe looked towards Jiang Xiaolou with a serious look: “Xiaolou, what do you see today is coming?”

Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes were gleaming, and he smiled faintly: “This Mrs. Min has never bought anything in my shop, but today she was extremely enthusiastic. The amount of rouge gouache ordered is very large, which makes me feel a little strange.”

Xie Kanghe hesitated for a moment, obviously hesitated to say something: “This Madam Min has another identity besides the Madam Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, I am afraid you don’t know.”

Jiang Xiaolou looked at him inquisitively.

Xie Kanghe made up his mind: “She often helps some dignitaries to match up bridges and find suitable daughters-in-law.”

Jiang Xiaolou was stunned, and then laughed: “Isn’t that something a matchmaker can do?”

Xie Kanghe shook his head slightly: “No, it is not convenient for the rich and powerful family to see their daughter-in-law. Sometimes it is not convenient for them to come forward. They will entrust the wife of a good friend to come out to make a match. At the same time, they can enter that family’s house and see the lady’s in the name of visiting. What is her character and beauty, and whether the marriage is appropriate. Mrs. Min suddenly visited today, and the person who named her by name wanted to see you, so I became suspicious. Just now I saw that her every word and every word did not depart from your origin, I am afraid someone asked her to come to the house. Come up to propose a marriage.”

Jiang Xiaolou smiled slightly. In fact, she and Xie Kanghe agreed. Mrs. Min was too coincidental and too enthusiastic, but she just said: “Uncle Min is too worried. Mrs. Min is a scholar of the Ministry of Industry, who can invite her. It’s extraordinary. How can I marry into the rich and powerful? Maybe Mrs. Min is just a whim and is interested in Yanzhizhai.”

Xie Kanghe heard what she meant, and said: “You don’t have to comfort me. Although I have never dealt with them, but I still have these eyesight. Looking at her attitude and expression just now, I always feel that something is wrong… Xiaolou, what strange things have happened recently?”

Jiang Xiaolou’s voice is still soft: “Since Princess An ordered Yanzhizhai’s items, our business has been much better than usual.”

Jiang Xiaolou and Concubine An got on the line, and she was appreciated by the concubine. Therefore, Princess An strongly recommended her to others. With the strong support of such powerful and powerful people, Yanzhizhai’s business was of course booming. But these guests are all powerful ladies, maybe one or two of them have taken a fancy to Jiang Xiaolou. Xie Kanghe persuaded: “In the last few days, you will take a good rest at home and don’t go out and run around. When I find out the matter, let’s see what we should do next.”

It’s useless to hide. Madam Min has come to the door directly, can she avoid it? Jiang Xiaolou did not rebuff: “Since my uncle said so, I won’t go to the shop recently. It just so happens that the Jiang family’s house is about to start repairs, and I will personally go to supervise the work.”

Xie Kanghe nodded and said, “Also, the guests at home should also find ways to investigate clearly, and don’t let people in normally.”

Seeing that Xie Kanghe was so nervous, Jiang Xiaolou only agreed with him, “Yes, I listen to my uncle.”

Coming out of the study, Jiang Xiaolou went straight back to the painting building. Seeing her solemn expression, Li Xuening couldn’t help asking, “Didn’t you go to see Mrs. Min? Why did she come here suddenly?”

Jiang Xiaolou sat down without saying a word, Xiaodie hurriedly brought tea, and said to Li Xue: “Miss Li, you don’t know, Mrs. Min is weird today, holding the lady’s hand to ask about the length and the shortness, I can’t wait It’s an eye-opener to ask all three generations of our ancestors clearly. I have never seen such an enthusiastic wife.”

Jiang Xiaolou took a sip of tea with a cold expression: “It is more than enthusiasm, it is too enthusiastic. She is just buying things from me, and there is no need to go to the door in person. Looking at her attitude, it seems that she wants to join me. Buy it back.”

There was something in Jiang Xiaolou’s words, and Li Xuening immediately guessed something: “You mean that Mrs. Min came to see you, who you are after, do you know now?”

Jiang Xiaolou showed a casual smile: “It’s normal for me to show my face outside and cause some trouble, but with an identity like Mrs. Min, someone who can appeal to her is afraid that it is not an ordinary nobleman. But what if I wait for the idle nobility. I will look at a daughter of a merchant, this is very contradictory.”

Li Xuening frowned slightly: “If you didn’t take the initiative to mention it, I’m afraid you won’t be able to mention it easily. Once it is raised, you can’t refuse it. The reason is that simple.”

Jiang Xiaolou didn’t care at all: “Even if I look at the truth, it’s just a good look. Now Mrs. Min knows that I have no father and no mother, but an orphan. Even if I have a wealth of money, it is useless. It is very likely. Just changed your mind, you don’t have to worry.”

Seeing that Jiang Xiaolou didn’t care at all, Li Xuening moved her crow-wing eyelashes, and stopped talking. This is not right, very wrong…

Three days later, Mrs. Min came back again. This time she did not come empty-handed. She brought a set of gold and silver tea utensils, and twenty brocades of various colors as gifts. Not only that, there was a young son standing beside her. This man was about twenty years old. He had an angular face, heroic eyebrows, bright black eyes, and he was full of books.

Xie Kanghe was surprised and looked at Madam Min and said, “I wonder if this is—”

Mrs. Min smiled: “This is the third son of the Daoist Zuo family. Originally, Mr. Zuo wanted to come in person, but he is really busy with official duties and can only be visited by me and the third son-believe our intention, thank you, Lord It’s clear.”

Xie Kanghe’s complexion changed slightly, and his eyes fell on the left young man. Seeing that he was very upright and looked like a knowledgeable person, Xie Kanghe looked a little better and said to Mrs. Min: “Madam, please in the hall.”

Mrs. Min took Zuo Gongzi all the way into the hall.

Xie Kanghe walked in front, but hadn’t noticed the situation behind. When Zuo Gongzi started walking, everyone around him was shocked. When the master left, the maids couldn’t help but gathered in twos and threes and whispered, but they all lowered their voices and dared not be heard.

When I sat down in the hall, Xie Kanghe ordered the tea to be served, and then smiled: “Mrs. Min, today is for this——”

Mrs. Min smiled and said, “Yes, this is the third son.” After she said that, she looked at Zuo Hua next to her. Zuo Hua got up and solemnly bowed to Xie Kanghe before sitting down again. According to the truth, there is no need for him from such a background to be so polite to Xie Kanghe, but his behavior does not have the slightest arrogance of an official and eunuch, and he appears gentle and elegant.

Three points of surprise appeared in Xie Kanghe’s expression, and he said to Mrs. Min: “I don’t know where Zuo Gongzi saw Xiaolou, why would he think of visiting and saying kiss?”

Mrs. Min smiled deeper: “The so-called heavenly marriage always meets each other! One is the official family member and the other is the daughter of a merchant. Originally, it was impossible to fight with the eight poles. It happened that Zuo Zuo once went out for a walk. There was a young lady standing under the willow tree, and she inadvertently met her. Zuo Gongzi fell in love with her at first sight! It was not until the lady left in the carriage that Zuo Gongzi knew that it was the car of the Xie Mansion. He originally thought it belonged to the Xie family. The ladies, after inquiring about them, learned that Xie’s family also lived with a guest.”

Mrs. Min spoke freely, but the young man next to him had flushed cheeks and was obviously very shy.

Such an attitude is not like an ordinary dude, and it’s not like making a small house for fun. But Mrs. Min is used to being a lobbyist, and her words are not credible. Xie Kanghe is not a fool. On the contrary, he asked shrewdly: “Zuo Young Master, I want to hear what you say.”

A red cloud appeared on Zuo Hua’s white face: “These words shouldn’t be spoken out, they are really out of order. But I rushed to propose marriages so rashly, because I was afraid that Master Xie and Ms. Jiang would have doubts, so I told them all. I fell in love with Ms. Jiang at first sight. At that time, I wanted to go to the lady and express my love, but I was afraid that I would be too reckless and impolite, so I first came to Mrs. Tuomin to understand the situation and confirm that the lady is not yet married, so I personally Come on.”

Young people are passionate and easy to be confused by their looks. Zuo Hua can speak sensibly and can’t help but believe it. Xie Kanghe was stunned: “What you said is true?”

Zuo Hua smiled and said, “Does Uncle Xie look at me like a joke?”

Xie Kanghe shook his head lightly. It’s not like it. This time they sent a heavy gift, no one would make such a joke. However, why did the son of the dignified scholar’s family look at Shangjiang Xiaolou? He paused for a while before reminding: “My best friend now only has such a daughter. Although she has lost her father, she has come all the way to join me. I treat her as my own daughter, so please let me ask more. Two sentences, I hope the son will not be offended.”

Zuo Hua’s attitude was calm and unhurried: “Uncle, please speak.”

Xie Kanghe bluntly said: “Xiaolou is indeed a wealthy family, but after all, he was born in a business class, and why did he come to propose marriages like Mr. Zuo? Could it be—” He said that he smiled and his face was dark. : “Even though it is a merchant, the Jiang family has only this sweet girl. Our small building will never come to be a concubine!”

Zuo Hua would look at Zhongjiang Xiaolou. Xie Kanghe is not surprised, because Xiaolou is so beautiful. But as a bachelor, Zuo Dao could allow his son to make such a decision. The fact of marriage does not match…

Young Master Zuo was startled, and waved his hands again and again: “No, no, you misunderstood, uncle! This matter is actually a hidden story, please don’t worry, listen to me earnestly finish.”

Xie Kanghe said: “Zuo Young Master, please speak clearly.”

A faint smile on Zuo Hua’s face, but with a bitter taste, he took the initiative to stand up and walked two steps in the hall. Xie Kanghe’s eyes suddenly widened in disbelief. A handsome young man walked unexpectedly. Limp, God, it turns out he is a lame!

Zuo Hua took a deep breath and said slowly: “You said, I don’t want to hide it from my uncle. I accidentally fell off a horse four years ago when I was riding a horse. Since then, I have become like this. I feel very inferior in my heart. So I stayed behind closed doors to recuperate. The family wanted to talk about marriage for me, but it was too high or low. But I have already made up my mind, no matter what kind of daughter, as long as it is in my heart, she is knowledgeable and courteous, beautiful and gentle , Don’t care about everything else.”

Hearing Zuo Hua said this, Xie Kanghe’s heart has turned a few times. Zuo University Scholar is considered a famous family, but the third son in his family is actually a lame. The ordinary wealthy daughter is unwilling to marry him, and the right family cannot be found. Naturally Going down to find it, in this way, Young Master Zuo fell in love with Jiang Xiaodu at first sight, and he went to the door to ask for marriage regardless of his identity. This also made sense. He thought for a while, and then said: “Zuo Zuo knows that our small building has no father and no mother, but an orphan. Doesn’t it matter to Zun Lingtang?”

Zuo Hua calmly said: “My uncle knows something, the scholars, farmers, businessmen and businessmen are the last place. Everyone thinks that everything is inferior, and only a high school student. But my father always thinks this is wrong. He always tells me, merchants buy and sell. Goods, running around, and paying a lot of taxes for the country every year. During the disaster, there are many righteous businessmen who generously donate their money. They are not inferior to the scholars. In ancient times, Baigui people abandoned me and people took me and, and accumulated wealth of tens of thousands He also contributed a large amount of food and salary to the Taizu; and Lin’an public service became rich and retreated from business, Zepi is the world, and everyone respects. The world knows their benevolence, who cares about their origin? Take your uncle as an example, yours The business is very big. On weekdays, I build bridges and pave roads and do a lot of good things. Everyone says that you are a well-known good man, how much worse than those officials? I had already reported to my father before I said pro. No objection, so—I only came here with my parents’ permission.”

Young Master Zuo speaks eloquently, sincerely, and there is no trace of flattery. Xie Kanghe secretly rejoiced. He was not happy for the other party’s flattering. He saw that although the boy was a lame boy, he was clear-headed, articulate, and had no natural prejudice against the businessman. He couldn’t help but nod his head and applaud: “That’s right, Mr. Zuo It’s really very informative.” After he finished speaking, he told Wang Baozhen, who was sitting with him, “Send a message to the kitchen, and leave the son to eat.”

If you don’t keep the meal, it is politely declined, and now that the meal… means there is a way for this matter, a thin smile appeared on Madam Min’s face.

Zuo Hua did not have the arrogance of the noble son at all, thanked him politely, and continued to sit politely.

Because Mr. Zuo was there, the ladies avoided, and Xie Kanghe deliberately asked a lot on the table, and the atmosphere was very peaceful. At the end of the meal, Xie Kanghe hinted to Zuo Hua that marriage matters are the orders of his parents, and the matchmaker said that although the Xie family has always been abiding by the rules and paying attention to etiquette, Jiang Xiaolou is a girl with ideas after all, and you must listen to her. opinion.

Hearing this, Zuo Hua couldn’t help but said: “So, I wonder if I can meet with the young lady alone?”

According to the truth, the request made by Zuo Gongzi was not excessive, and his words at the table proved that he was upright and honest. Xie Kanghe saw three points of joy in his eyes. If Jiang Xiaolou really belongs to him His biological daughter, maybe he has already nodded. It’s just that he still has three doubts. He wants to observe the Zuozi again. Hearing the words, he said: “This is not in a hurry, there will be opportunities in the future. In my opinion, I should first mention this matter to Xiaolou. She nodded her head to continue. If she disagrees, I’m afraid I can’t help.”

Hearing this, Zuo Hua blushed deeper: “Yes, yes, everything is subject to uncle’s arrangement.”

Zuo Hua and Mrs. Min left, Xie Kanghe’s face was lost in thought.

Wang Baozhen personally came in with a cup of tea, put it in front of him, and smiled softly: “Master, such a big happy event, why are you so hesitant?”

Xie Kanghe picked up the tea cup and glanced at her lightly and said: “How can women know so many joints? Today I am still a little worried, so I dare not mention it to Xiaolou.”

Wang Baozhen’s eyes rolled: “In the past, the master was always worried and worried that Miss Jiang did not have a good home, and she would not be able to trust Master Jiang. But now it seems that this young man wants to have talents and a family. It’s also very reliable. Master, what else can you hesitate about? If you miss this village, you won’t have this shop.”

Xie Kanghe’s expression became more solemn: “What do you know! Since I have left Xiaolou at home, of course I will find the best home for her. If Xiaolou can marry Liancheng in the future, I am watching this child. Growing up, he knows his personality very well. Even if he doesn’t really like Xiaolou, he will take care of her wholeheartedly even if he wants to have a marriage alliance, but I’m not sure if I change other people. After all, people’s hearts are unpredictable This Young Master Zuo does seem to be very elegant, but what his temperament is, and how true he said it is, I still don’t know how to figure it out now.”

Before Wang Baozhen could speak, Xie Kanghe said again: “Not only that, he is still a lame man.”

Wang Baozhen laughed: “What is it, sir, you love the house and the Wu! If you don’t listen to it, Miss Jiang is from a merchant after all, and the bachelor is an official of the fifth grade. Such a family came to propose marriage, that is great. Good thing! Although this young man is born with some shortcomings, he is always good. If he proposes to the daughter of the Xie family, I am afraid that the master will immediately agree with joy. How could it not be done by Miss Jiang?”

Xie Kanghe disagreed with the authentic words: “Because Xiaolou is not my biological daughter, I have to be more cautious! If there is any omission, how should I face her father.”

Wang Baozhen smiled: “Since the master is so worried, I might as well listen to Miss Jiang’s own meaning.”

Xie Kanghe pondered for a moment: “However, I asked her a few days ago if she had encountered any special people or special things, but she didn’t react at all. Maybe she didn’t even know that there was a man named Zuo.”

Wang Baozhen tentatively said: “Otherwise, we will let Young Master Zuo go to the shop and see Xiaolou. There are so many people there and nothing can be done. If Xiaolou has a good impression of him, this matter will be half done. .”

The merchants do not have so many rules, and Jiang Xiaolou’s situation is special. If she is not allowed to make her own decisions, Xie Kanghe is a little uncertain. He nodded and said: “Xiaolou is a child with an idea, so tomorrow You make some arrangements, and please go to the shop.”

Wang Baozhen immediately replied happily: “Yes, sir, I will do it right away.”

Early the next morning, someone from Yanzhizhai invited Jiang Xiaolou, only to say that there was a business problem. Jiang Xiaolou didn’t say much, and greeted Xie Kanghe. Seeing that he hadn’t objected, he got on the carriage Go to the shop. Li Xuening was a little worried and asked to go with her. Jiang Xiaolou couldn’t help laughing at her for being too careful.

Zuo Hua entered the patio and met a maid in pink clothes and a pair of buns coming down from upstairs. He stared attentively and quickly approached with a smile: “Excuse me, is Miss Jiang there?”

Xiaodie stopped and stared at him suspiciously, “You are looking for our lady?”

“Yes, please make it easy.”

Xiaodie followed Jiang Xiaolou in business, and saw a lot of people, but seldom encountered this kind of Wen Zou Zou, and when he saw that he could go all the way into this backyard, she lowered her face and asked: ” What can I do for you?”

Although Zuo Hua smiled, he still kept a polite smile: “I’m sorry, this can’t be told to you, anyway, it’s a very important thing.”

Fluttershy stood there and didn’t move, just staring at each other with a little caution.

Zuo Hua explained: “Don’t worry, I’m not a bad person. If it weren’t, how could the shopkeeper let me in? I have important things to discuss with your lady.”

Seeing him like this, Xiaodie immediately believed that he was playing mystery, thinking of the many apprentices that Xiaolou provoked, his face became even more ugly: “How can you see my lady! If you want to discuss business, go out and talk to the shopkeeper, miss No outsiders.”

Zuo Hua stood persistently and refused to leave: “Since you open the door to do business, you shouldn’t be so a thousand miles away. You just say but refuse to go in and report. How can you know that the lady doesn’t want to see me?”

Xiaodie almost stared at him fiercely, and said loudly: “What are you doing standing stupidly? The lady keeps you but guards, how can you let strangers in!”

The guard immediately came up and said to Zuohua: “I’m sorry this son, please!”

At this time, I only heard a question from upstairs: “Xiaodie, who are you talking to?”

Before Xiaodie could answer, Jiang Xiaolou, dressed in purple, appeared on the stairs. She stepped down the steps, her skin and snow were bright, her eyes were bright, and she was born with a pair of charming eyes. Her smile seemed to radiate a kind of light, enough to make people fascinated, and her dignified demeanor made people dare not get close.

Zuo Hua was stared at by that look, only to feel that his heart was floating in the air. He had only glanced from a distance before. He never expected that Jiang Xiaolou was such a big beauty when he looked closer. His heart jumped, and he stepped forward and said: “It is really impolite to break in without the permission of the young lady, it is really impolite, please forgive me.”

He said these few words gently and politely. Jiang Xiaolou looked at him, his lips curled up, but his face was puzzled: “This son, why do you want to see me?”

Zuo Hua said sincerely, “Thank you, Miss, for not caring about my offense. In Xia Zuohua, a scholar, and his father is a scholar of Wenyuange University. I came to see the young lady today. I have important things to ask for your promise.”

Jiang Xiaolou just listened to him with a smile, looking very interested.

Zuo Hua looked around and saw that the shop’s backyard was still crowded with people, and the cold-faced guards were watching him. From time to time, a few guys stopped and looked at him with doubts. He hesitated and almost wanted to turn around. I left, but finally turned my mind: “Miss, I must tell you the truth. Zuo Hua accidentally went out for a walk and had to meet Miss. Your appearance and temperament made me lose my soul all at once. It’s a mess. The young lady’s icy and clean, extraordinary beauty is really unforgettable. From that day on, I think of and miss my lady every day, and your figure appears in front of my eyes all the time, so I can’t sleep peacefully. I was unwilling to eat, I was in a state of anxiety all day long, I wanted to see you again! I found no results, and finally found out that the lady is the master of Yanzhizhai, and then asked Mrs. Min to come and talk about it…”

Jiang Xiaolou looked at him with a look of surprise: “You mean-you are the one who came to propose a marriage?”

Zuo Hua hurriedly stepped forward two steps and said: “I know that this is really harmful to physique and does not comply with the rules. My father has repeatedly reminded me that this will scare the young lady. As a man, I should not indulge in the love of children too much. Not only can’t let it go, but I miss it even more! Miss, the world is so big, so many beings, why didn’t I meet other women, but fell in love with Miss at first sight, isn’t this a kind of fate bestowed by God? Since there is such a rare fate? , I should let the flow go and cherish it more, so I dared to invite Mrs. Min to come to propose marriage… But Master Xie said that everything is up to you, so I don’t know how to do it, so I hurriedly spit out my heart to the lady.”

What he said has been rehearsed many times before, and it can be said that he is confident and eloquent. In the process of expressing affectionately, he kept staring at Jiang Xiaolou, and even Xiaodie felt that his actions were too much.

A man who is so infatuated, even if he is a disciple, a woman will be happy.

After hearing this confession, the people snickered for a while, but Zuo Hua didn’t seem to have heard it. He didn’t even go to his heart, staring straight at Jiang Xiaolou.

Jiang Xiaolou laughed. She was amused by Zuo Hua, because the other party’s serious confession made her feel particularly interesting.

She was originally beautiful and radiant, and this smile even drew Zuo Hua’s soul away. His heart was throbbing, and the blush on his face had already risen, which intensified what he said. Credibility.

Jiang Xiaolou looked at this young man Zuo, his appearance was very handsome, his temperament was also very elegant, and his speech was good. Just now I saw him walking two steps, it seems that he has a disability, she paused for a moment, and said indifferently: “Although I am very grateful for your kindness, it is a pity that I am not Zuo’s best friend, please find another good match.” After speaking, she turned and walked upstairs.

Zuo Hua was anxious and walked quickly a few steps: “Miss Jiang, don’t go, listen to me and finish!”

But Jiang Xiaolou has disappeared at the end of the stairs, Xiaodie raised his face: “Okay, you are done with your words, please go back.”

Zuo Hua looked at Xiaodie and said, “Why are your girl so unceremonious? I came to your lady to tell the truth. If you don’t believe it, why bother to speak insults.”

Xiaodie squinted at him: “What is insulting or insulting, the lady doesn’t like you, you should go and go quickly, don’t waste time here, or I will let someone blast you out later and lose the Zuo Academy Face, don’t blame me!”

Hearing her words so sternly, Zuo Hua had to leave in a contemptuous way, but he was still unwilling, and took two steps closer, and quietly stuffed Xiaodie something, before whispering softly: “I am really to the young lady. I fell in love at first sight, and I was very enamoured. I hope the girl can say something nice to the lady for me.” After speaking, he limped away.

Xiaodie looked at his back, turned his head upstairs, and put the silver on the table as soon as he pushed the door in.

“Look, miss, it was the Young Master Zuo who stayed with me. He wanted to bribe me to speak more nice things in front of you.”

Jiang Xiaolou took a look, and the silver ingots on the table were shining. She smiled and said lightly: “Since he gave it to you, you can put it away.”

Li Xuening had already heard the movement outside in the house just now, and couldn’t help but smile: “This Young Master Zuo really admires you so much that he actually found here.”

Jiang Xiaolou didn’t care with his face all over the place: “It’s nothing unusual. A woman showing her face to do business outside will always cause some trouble.”

Li Xuening smiled and said: “This Zuo scholar has a good family style. After all, he didn’t teach the young man. He went to the door upright to propose a marriage. Although today’s action to tell the heart is a little rash, it is not a bad target. . Would you like to consider him?”

Xiaodie hurriedly said, “Miss, haven’t you seen him walking unsuccessfully? How can such a person be worthy of you!”

Li Xuening looked at Xiaodie and couldn’t help but shook her head: “What do you know? What kind of person is Zuo Xueshi? An ordinary girl wants to cling to but can’t afford to cling to it. I don’t know how many people are envious of this marriage. Lou, although Mr. Zuo’s legs and feet are inconvenient, but I listened to him clearly, articulate, and handsome, if Xiao Lou agreed, it would be a good marriage.”

Not only Li Xuening thinks so, but everyone in the Xie family thinks so, and they can’t be blamed. Although Zuo Hua’s legs and feet are not flexible, he has a father who is a bachelor. There is no notoriety. Although he has a disability, he follows the rules and has no reputation as a dude. Scholars, farmers, commerce, and business are the last. Jiang Xiaolou, as the daughter of a business family, can become the daughter-in-law of a university scholar’s residence. This is a good thing that many people can’t ask for. Even if Xie Kanghe is a smart person, it is difficult to avoid falling into cliché thinking. Li Xuening faintly felt that this Young Master Zuo looked good, but he couldn’t immediately make a judgment. He should observe it for a while, and then reminded: “If Xiaolou feels uneasy, we can quietly inquire and see how he is. Is there any bad wind.”

Jiang Xiaolou said: “If it has already been passed on, if he does something secret, you and I will never know it.” The so-called blind marriage and dumb marriage, if the girl fancy him, she will only fancy the bachelor’s house. His background and his future prospects do not have much to do with him.

Li Xuening hoped that Jiang Xiaolou would consider it carefully, so he hesitated: “But if you marry him, there is hope for revenge.”

Jiang Xiaolou smiled: “I want revenge with my heart, but I shouldn’t be so humble and sell myself so easily.”

Li Xuening sighed slightly: “Who asked you to sell yourself? I mean Zuo Gongzi is a worthy marriage partner. If what he said is true, Xiaolou, you can consider it. Besides, he can enter the house today. The shopkeeper didn’t stop him either, indicating—”

Jiang Xiaolou looked lazy and smiled fearlessly: “It shows that Uncle Xie acquiesced in allowing him to come to this shop, so people outside dare not stop him.”

Li Xuening couldn’t help sighing.

In the afternoon, when Jiang Xiaolou returned to the house, he did not see Xie Kanghe, but Xie Liancheng instead. Xie Liancheng clearly hurried back from outside. His clean clothes were dusty and he looked like a dusty man. Jiang Xiaolou said strangely, “Don’t you have to stay outside for two more days? How come you come back suddenly? What’s the urgent matter?”

Xie Liancheng paused when she asked, he pondered for a moment, and looked at Jiang Xiaolou: “I heard-the son of Xueshi Zuo came to Xiefu to propose marriage.”

Jiang Xiaolou was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: “Yes, the eldest son is still very effective.”

Hearing what Jiang Xiaolou said, Huaian scratched his head embarrassedly: “Miss Xie Jiang praises.” He is indeed the eyes and ears of the eldest son, and everything that happened in Xie’s mansion is no match for his ears.

Xie Liancheng’s gaze fell on her face, and her voice was inherently low, with a stabilizing force: “Huai’an, you will explain.”

Huai’an chuckled twice before saying: “Young Master asked me to investigate Young Master Zuo, and I carefully checked the words and deeds of this man.”

Jiang Xiaolou looked at Xie Liancheng, a little surprised for a while.

When someone proposed to me, why did you send someone to investigate?

Jiang Xiaolou just swept past his heart without asking for this.

“The son of Zuo has a good character, and his behavior has always been well-behaved. There is nothing out of the ordinary. At first glance, there is nothing strange, but later I bought a handyman from the Zuo family. He was drunk and unknowingly said One thing.”

It must be extraordinary that Xie Liancheng can show such a solemn expression. Jiang Xiaolou looked at Huai’an encouragingly: “Oh, what did you find?”

Huai’an said mysteriously and authentically: “It turns out that the wife of the left academician had a good relationship with Princess An and was a frequent visitor to the Prince An’s mansion. Moreover, when the third son of the left was born, he recognized the princess as a godmother, because both of them are low-key. This relationship…not much is known to outsiders.”

Jiang Xiaolou just smiled, with Qiu Shui in his eyes: “Is this news important?”

Xie Liancheng said softly: “Of course it is important.”

Jiang Xiaolou shook his head: “I don’t quite understand.”

Xie Liancheng smiled faintly, and there was a moving power in his deep pool-like eyes: “Now you don’t understand, you will understand later, Huai’an, prepare the carriage, Miss Jiang and I are going to leave the house.”

The expression on Xie Liancheng’s face at the moment was very solemn and serious, and she didn’t mean to be joking. She glanced at the sky and said, “We’re going to eat soon. If they can’t find us, they don’t know what to talk about, sir. Don’t you care?”

Xie Liancheng smiled, and finally said: “If I care about gossip, I won’t send people to inquire about these things, don’t say more, let’s go.”

Jiang Xiaolou and Xie Liancheng had just left, and Xie Yu’s skirts flashed in the garden. She stared at the backs of the two in a daze. Her eyes were like rose thorns, with sharp jealousy hidden in her hands. Squeeze tightly.

Xie Liancheng never said a word when the carriage of Xie Mansion walked all the way, and never even raised his head to look at Jiang Xiaolou. Huai’an couldn’t help laughing. The son ran for three days without rest before rushing back. When he saw Miss Jiang, he didn’t say anything. What a strange person!

The carriage stopped at a medical hall, and Xie Liancheng raised the curtain and said to Jiang Xiaolou: “Pay attention to the person who is going out later.”

Jiang Xiaolou looked in the direction he was pointing, only to see two servants coming out of the hospital with a young son in between. He was dressed in a Chinese dress, but he was still looking around, like a child, between the two. He grinned, smirked constantly, drooling, and groaning. The servant next to him quickly wiped the saliva from his mouth with a sweat towel, even coaxing and deceiving him.

He yelled: “I want to drink water, drink water!”

The servant hurriedly coaxed: “If you want to drink it back, drink it, where can you find it now!”

But he jumped up suddenly: “I am thirsty, I am thirsty!”

Jiang Xiaolou looked at this scene, his eyes drenched, his expression inexplicable.

The idiot couldn’t get water, so he became more and more mad, yelling instinctively, struggling desperately, and seemed to want to break free from the shackles of the two people around him. One of them failed to catch, he ran to the root of the wall quickly, opened his robe and prepared to make a public comment. For a while, passers-by were evacuated. When a young woman passed by, the idiot ran to show her lower body and peeed at the other party. The woman was so frightened that Huarong turned pale and fainted with a yell. He was so reluctant, he spilled urine directly on the opponent’s face, and everyone was stunned. The two servants were afraid that something might happen, and quickly rushed over, but they couldn’t catch him. The foolish boy ran wildly around the circle, yelling, crying and laughing, talking nonsense, and met the child’s hands. Holding food in it, he rushed to grab food and drink. When he was tired, he slept on the street facing the sky.

The servants immediately recruited people again, grabbing the belt, and finally tied him up and sent him to the carriage.

The carriage disappeared into Jiang Xiaolou’s field of vision, only a cloud of dust was brought up. She turned to look at Xie Liancheng, and smiled: “Is this person special?”

Her smile is so beautiful.

Xie Liancheng breathed slightly, but quickly recovered his composure. A cold light flashed in his eyes: “This is the second son of Princess An, who is known as the Yanping County King.”
