Chapter 111
Mrs. Jiang has been one of the first two in the past few days. Ever since Mr. Jiang said about being married that night, early the next morning, he actually drafted a document and was going to post it at the gate of the house to announce it to the whole city.
Mrs. Jiang couldn't stop him no matter what, she panicked and shouted: "Calm down, even if you are married, you won't have to find someone to enter our house now. What are you posting this notice for?"
"Since we have agreed to choose, let's choose from today, otherwise it will be too late when our daughter gets married?" Master Jiang insisted on going his own way, insisting on pasting the notice on the gate of the house.
"You talk about marrying in, but the men who are willing to marry in are probably those who don't want to make progress and sit back and enjoy the benefits. They have taken a fancy to our family's money. Whether they are sincerely willing to take care of Ling'er, then maybe."
"At that time, the two of us will take care of this for Ling'er."
"What if you can't choose a good one?"
"I can't choose...I can't choose..." Master Jiang lamented, "If you can't choose, let's talk about it. I would rather not marry than let it go."
It had only been half a day since the notice was posted, and the gate of Jiangfu was surrounded by crowds. Those who had never seen such a thing were amazed by those who went to the market, and those who were thinking about poor scholars and running errands were weighing the importance in their hearts, but most of them were pure They're all here to watch the fun.
There is a scholar who said: "It's ridiculous for a man to marry for the sake of a mere family business."
Others nodded repeatedly to show their agreement, but their hearts inevitably felt itchy. In the afternoon, one person actually came to ask for a marriage.
He was a thick-bodied farmer, carrying a large basket for his home, and put it on the ground in the yard with a "boom", and waited for the elders of the Jiang family to come with a simple and honest smile.
He has strong tendons, is tall, a full head taller than the butler, is dressed in a dusty bunt, has dark skin, and a pair of straw sandals on his feet. He stands in the huge yard of the Jiang family, at a loss.
The butler trotted to invite Mrs. Madam, and when the two came over, they both gasped when they saw this tall man.
Master Jiang asked the housekeeper uncertainly, "Are you sure this man is here to propose marriage?"
"Yes, he said he came following the notice." The butler's scalp was tense, and he was also surprised at first, but the man repeatedly emphasized that he was here to marry, not to deliver food, so the butler didn't dare to delay. Hurry to invite someone.
Mr. Jiang wiped his beard and felt that he couldn't just drive people out like this, so he said to the butler, "Come, please take a seat, brother."
The man was brought into the hall, and he saw that there were many cigarettes in the hall, and the floor was covered with sapphire bricks. He stepped in, and there were mahogany square chairs on both sides. Glass vases, gold braves, and many other rare things that he had never seen before. There were screens on the left and right sides, and exquisite flower and bird pictures were embroidered on them. The man's eyes widened for a moment, and he looked around stupidly. dizzying.
The housekeeper asked him to sit down, but he didn't dare to sit down, he just stood in the middle of the hall awkwardly.
Mr. Jiang arranged his wife and Jiang Ling Xiya in the inner room inside the screen, and walked out slowly. When he saw the man, before he could speak, he knelt down with a "plop", and kowtowed: "Here, Greetings, my lord."
"Please get up, please get up." Master Jiang was startled by him, and when he realized it, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
The man got up tremblingly, but his face was pale and he didn't dare to speak, so Master Jiang could only ask him: "How old is Xiongtai?"
"Three, thirty." The man stammered.
At the age of 30... Mr. Jiang knew something in his heart, so he frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you, so you come to our house?"
"I, I heard that people are recruiting here, so I'll take a look."
"We put up such a notice, but you see that you are in your thirties, you should already have a wife and children, right?"
"Yes, yes, I have two dolls." The man was confident, but Master Jiang laughed and was speechless.
"You already have a family, what are you doing here? Could it be that you still want to take a concubine, or... come here to humiliate our family on purpose!"
"Small, I don't dare!" Seeing his angry face, the man hurriedly got down from his seat and knelt down again, "Your Excellency doesn't know, two dolls are difficult to raise, I'll have nothing else to do after finishing the farm work. Wanting to earn more money so that the children can eat better, so I went to the city to find a helper, doesn't this mean that your family is recruiting people?"
Master Jiang's face was green and white, and there was a "噗嗤" laugh from behind the screen, and he stopped laughing once. He heard that the voice was his precious daughter, and Master Jiang was even more embarrassed, so he waved his hand and said: If you don’t need a helper, you can go.”
"But you clearly wrote to recruit..."
"Riding in, marrying in! Marriage and helper don't mean the same thing!" Mr. Jiang jumped angrily. Seeing this, the butler hurried forward and invited the man out.
After the person left, Yao Zhou didn't have to bear it anymore, she pulled Xi Ya's hand away, and fell on the table with a smile. Master Jiang walked in, and when he saw her like this, he sighed softly.
"Father, don't we need help with some tasks in our family? Why don't you keep him?" Afraid that his father would be more embarrassed, Yaozhou asked, holding back his smile.
"If you keep him, everyone in the city may think that we are going to recruit him as your husband-in-law." Master Jiang stood by the table and sighed.
"I have already said that there are few people who are willing to marry, and most of them are idlers. You are stubborn and will not listen to persuasion." Mrs. Jiang bought him a cup of tea and handed it over. Seeing that he was anxious, she couldn't bear to persuade him: "Don't worry, it's only half a day."
"Why did Dad suddenly think of recruiting a husband-in-law for me?" Yao Zhou blinked at him, very puzzled.
"Father...Father is afraid that you will get married in the future...you will be wronged if you marry into your husband's family, so why don't you just want to recruit a son-in-law to marry in, so that when you are by your parents' side, your parents will take care of you."
"Father has good intentions, and my daughter is grateful to father." Yaozhou's eyes shimmered, and then slowly lowered, "It's just...posting notices to choose, the people who come here are mixed, and you may not be able to choose the one that parents want."
"I know," Master Jiang took a sip of tea, "There's no other way. Most people of the right age that I know don't want to marry, so I have to find another way."
"Father," Yaozhou paused, his eyes drifted, he seemed to hesitate, and he said firmly after a while: "Actually, my daughter already has a candidate in her heart..."
"Who?" Mr. Jiang thumped in his heart. His daughter had never been out of the house, and the only men she had seen were those at home. Could it be that when he was not paying attention, someone hooked up with his precious daughter?
"What do you think of Doctor Feng?"
"Doctor Feng?" Master Jiang and Xi Ya looked at each other, both of them were startled, Xi Ya inexplicably sweated on his forehead, and looked away guilty, but Master Jiang didn't notice, he just said: "Doctor Feng really Well, it's a pity that she is a woman..."
"Father, I heard from Dr. Feng that there is an elder brother in her family who resembles her in appearance and personality, and has excellent medical skills. He is still unmarried, and... this son doesn't mind getting married."
Xi Ya looked at her slightly sideways, his eyes were full of surprise, how did she not know that she had an elder brother?
Yaozhou kicked her under the table, and she was in pain. She quickly turned to Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, and said seriously: "Yes, yes, I have an elder brother."
"It would be great if we could find a man like Dr. Feng, but...does the elders of Dr. Feng's family agree to let the eldest son leave home to marry?" Master Jiang hesitated.
"My parents are dead..." Xi Ya's face was lost, "Ever since my parents passed away, my brother and I have been wandering outside, wandering around, it would be great if we can let my brother settle down."
"That's it," Master Jiang was overjoyed instantly, and hurriedly said, "Where is Doctor Feng's elder brother? How can I contact you?"
"My brother..." Xi Ya said, before he could figure out how to compose it, he was sweating again, when suddenly someone came in from outside the room, and Qiaoer helped her out.
The person who came was the butler, he bowed outside the screen and said: "Master, Madam, there is someone outside asking to see you."
"Who is it? Are you here to ask for marriage again?" Master Jiang asked impatiently.
"No, the man claimed to be Doctor Feng's elder brother. The villain didn't know him, so he didn't dare to let him in. He came here to ask."
Xi Ya was stunned for a moment, she and Yao Zhou looked at each other in surprise, she had just fabricated that she had an older brother, and she didn't know where a cheap brother came from?
The second elder of the Jiang family also looked at her, seeing that her scalp was numb, so she could only cough lightly, and said, "Master Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, let me go out and have a look, okay?"
"My wife and I will go with you. If that person is really Doctor Feng's elder brother, our family can't be rude, right?" Master Jiang got up, and Mrs. Jiang went out with Xi Ya, leaving only Yaozhou by the table Waiting idly.
The three of them walked to the door of the house, Xi Ya took a closer look, and there stood a young man in fluttering green clothes, holding a fan, with red lips and white teeth, and a kind smile on his face. : "Little sister."
Si Ming...Xi Ya's eyebrows twitched, and he sideways avoided him, grabbed his wrist casually, and squeezed it tightly, "Brother...what are you here for?"
Si Ming was in pain from being pinched by her, and he broke out in cold sweat with a smile, "Brother misses you, misses you, and came here to see you."
"Is there anything to think about, I have something urgent to do here, and my elder brother will disturb you if he comes, why don't we just leave." Xi Ya pulled him to go out, afraid that he would be stopped.
"Stay here, stay here." Master Jiang stepped forward and grabbed Si Ming's other sleeve, "Doctor Feng forgot, I still have something to ask."
When it was over, Xi Yasheng closed his eyes helplessly, pinched Si Ming's wrist to prevent him from answering, turned around and smiled at the second elder: "Master Jiang, I was wrong, what I just said was my elder brother, and this The person is my second elder brother, he is married, his family has many wives and concubines, and he has both children."
Si Ming looked at her blankly, at a loss.When did he get married?How come there are so many wives and concubines?Sons and daughters in pairs?
Xi Ya was afraid that he would open his mouth, so he rushed to talk: "Second brother, is there something urgent to go out? I live a peaceful and comfortable life here, don't miss me, go quickly, if you don't go, it will be too late."
"I'm in a hurry," Si Ming said in a daze, "but... this matter is about you, little sister, you have to go with me."
"Let's go?" Xi Ya glanced at him, saw that his face was serious, not like joking, and had a premonition in his heart, "Got it."
"Doctor Feng is leaving?" Master Jiang was in a hurry, his son-in-law hadn't been found yet.
"Master Jiang, don't worry. I have to deal with some matters with my second brother. The shortest period is three or four months, and the longest period is one or two years. I will definitely come back and bring my brother with me when the time comes."
