The boy is hard to handle

Chapter 43

After Jiang Youqing left, only Luo Zhengbei and Qi Pingnan were left in the main hall, and now he stopped pretending, slapped his forehead and said regretfully——

"If I had known that I could make friends with the Xue family as in-laws, I shouldn't have talked to Sun Maoda! Bah! What the hell! Let's not talk about the 500 taels of silver! Returning his mother's ass is not done. ! There is no peace in the mansion!"

Luo Zhengbei said while looking at Qi Pingnan's face, his beard flicked, and he changed into another attitude——

"It must be that Youqing is promising to be able to enter the eyes of the Xue family. After this, the glory and wealth will be inexhaustible. Tell me, don't you?"

Qi Pingnan didn't even have to look at him, but just listened to him, and she knew what kind of crooked ideas he was thinking, and didn't follow his ideas, and retorted——

"How much glory and wealth are there are all young and pure, so what does it have to do with us?"

"Hey! How can it have nothing to do with it?!" When Luo Zhengbei heard this, he immediately became unhappy, "Didn't Xiaoqing be raised by the Luo family?! We have worked hard for so many years even if we have no credit? You just say When her parents just died, if it weren't for us, Xiaoqing would be an orphan! Can she still have today? Can she still have this marriage?!"

Qi Pingnan didn't speak, but her eyes were full of disdain. She really wanted to tear off Luo Zhengbei's face, and compare it with that kidnapper on the city wall to see how thick he is? !

Luo Zhengbei looked at Qi Pingnan's gaze, but he didn't have any self-knowledge, and instead became a little unhappy——

"What kind of eyes do you have? Could it be that I made a mistake?!"

"Master, are you right? Do you still want to ask me?" Qi Pingnan scolded him.

Luo Zhengbei choked for a moment, but he didn't care, he still took out his old man's airs and picked it up——

"Don't blame me all the time? It's not all about me alone, is it? Besides, Youqing is not a child who holds grudges. You can talk to her well. From now on, we will still be a family, and Luofu will still be her." Her natal family, after all, she only has you as her own aunt in this world."

"Really?" Qi Pingnan chuckled lightly and nodded, "Master is right, this Luo Mansion is indeed her only natal family, so master, let's see what to do with the dowry, shall we?"

As soon as Luo Zhengbei heard the word dowry, he immediately became dumb. He deliberately didn't mention it just now, but he still couldn't escape——

Scratching his head and thinking for a moment, Fang repeated——

"I've thought about this a long time ago. At that time, the Xue family will definitely come to hire me. Think about it, what kind of family is the Xue family?! The number one big family in the capital, let's not talk about the relationship with the palace. The family's property is also spread all over the world. If you throw out any unnecessary needles and threads, it will be the treasure of ordinary people. At least you will have to pay for it!

You just say that such a family, what good things have you never seen?As for ordinary people like us, even if you go bankrupt and sell land and land to sell your ancestral house, you still can't buy things that can catch people's eyes!

So I think that instead of trying our best to do such thankless things, we might as well pick out some from the betrothal gifts of the Xue family, and treat them as Xiaoqing's dowry—"

"You can really say it!" Qi Pingnan wanted to spit on him all over his face, "Master, you don't want to spend a penny?!"

Today is different from the past, in the past, Luo Zhengbei would have stretched his neck and yelled at Qi Pingnan, but now that his relatives and nieces have gotten into such a good marriage, even if he wants to get angry, he has to think twice— —

"Well, I didn't say anything. We're discussing this. Look at you, what's the rush?"

Speaking of which, Luo Zhengbei stretched out his hand to pull Qi Pingnan, but Qi Pingnan withdrew his arm abruptly and dodged -

"Since that's the case, let's pay 500 taels! Bank notes or cash are fine, one cent less! In the future, it will be hard to say whether Xiaoqing will have you as an uncle!"

"you--"

"I'm leaving first, master, go get ready as soon as possible."

Qi Pingnan ignored Luo Zhengbei, waved his sleeves and left the main hall without looking back. Luo Zhengbei's beard was raised in anger——

"Hey! What kind of attitude do you have! Climbing up to a high branch! It's amazing!!"

After shouting, Luo Zhengbei frowned again——

"For 500 taels, isn't the Zhuangzi in the neighboring suburbs sold for nothing?"

But thinking about it again, Xue's dowry must be more than 500 taels no matter what?

I gave up the 500 taels in exchange for more, which is not a loss-making business!You might even make a lot of money!

After such a calculation, Luo Zhengbei's eyes suddenly lit up again, and he immediately chased him out——

"It's only 500 taels! I agree!"

----

Combining horoscopes is just a formality, Xu Matchmaker is so shrewd, how can she not be happy with such a fixed matter, she immediately went to Xue's mansion to announce the good news to Zheng Junqing, her eyes were so small that she couldn't see the cracks in her smile, and she was full of auspicious words She didn't even take a break from her lip service, that simply praised Jiang Youqing to the sky, saying how she is a lady, virtuous and virtuous, with a beautiful face, that is a fairy descending to earth, and how Xue Yanrong and her were made in heaven, how She is a talented man and a beautiful woman, and the woman's horoscope is even more unprecedented. She also said that she has lived to this age and has never seen such a matching horoscope in a matchmaker all her life. It is simply a marriage blessed by God.

Although they are both women, who doesn't like to hear beautiful words, and Zheng Junqing is no exception. It doesn't matter whether she is talking nonsense or sincerely, as long as she can speak to people's hearts, and she is full of joy when she speaks, then that's fine. After a while, the corners of his mouth were grinning to the back of his ears, and he immediately rewarded Matchmaker Xu with 30 taels of silver and two bolts of high-quality Hangzhou silk.

As soon as Matchmaker Xu left, Xue Yanrong, who was sitting on the chair behind her, immediately stretched out her hands to pick her ears, took a long breath, and said——

"It's really a matchmaker's mouth, a deceitful ghost, just like that, how did she say it?"

Zheng Junqing didn't take it seriously, she still had a smile on her face——

"That's what they do, relying on their eloquent skills, otherwise how could they be a matchmaker? Let me tell you, you still don't know how to do it."

"I can't say that." Xue Yanrong shook his head, "It's so embarrassing."

"What's there to be ashamed of, people praised you for not being settled." Zheng Junqing smiled and waved her hands, and then said: "Come on, now that the major issues have been resolved, mother's heart is finally at ease, and the rest is the matter of the dowry Son, you don't have to worry about this, Mother will take care of it herself, don't worry, she will never let Xiaoqing feel wronged, since she is married to us, she must give her the best."

After saying that, Zheng Junqing raised her eyes, showing a loving expression——

"You, just wait to be the bridegroom's official."

For some reason, as soon as the words "Bridegroom Officer" came to his ears, Xue Yanrong felt his cheeks burn slightly, he pressed his palm against his mouth, and hummed pretending nothing unusual.

"Yo - the groom is back!" Yao Shichu couldn't help opening his mouth to joke when he saw his master.

Xue Yanrong was blown by the wind along the way, his face just stopped burning, and he was beaten back to his original shape by Yao Shichu's voice, his footsteps stopped in the middle of the yard, and he recovered his expression after a while and said——

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Who's talking nonsense, aren't you the bridegroom officer?"

Yao Shichu was happy for his master from the bottom of his heart, and when he thought of having someone around his master who knows the cold and the hot, he couldn't stop the smile on his face from the bottom of his heart.

"hiss--"

It was rare for Xue Yanrong to be so overwhelmed. He raised his head and shouted——

"Where's Xu Yu?"

"Let's go to the horse, do you have something to do with him?"

Xue Yanrong raised his eyebrows and immediately nodded——

"Yes, let him come back quickly to take care of you. It's best to accept you before me."

Yao Shichu blushed as soon as he got up, and saw that there were other servants in the yard. Hearing this, they all covered their mouths and started laughing, their faces became more embarrassing and panicked, and they stomped at Xue Yanrong——

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

It just so happened that Xu Yu came out of the room at this time, with an appearance of knowing nothing, and asked directly——

"Master, did you call me just now?"

"I didn't call you, but your wife called you." Xue Yanrong said with a smirk.

"My daughter-in-law?" Xu Yu turned his head and saw Yao Shichu who was flushed, and immediately became silly.

"What are you laughing at?" Yao Shichu became even more ashamed, glared at him, turned around and entered the room.

Xue Yanrong pointed at Xu Yu, pointed to the door, and said——

"Come in, I have something to tell you."

Xu Yu followed Xue Yanrong, and as soon as he entered the room, his eyeballs seemed to grow on Yao Shichu's body, and he couldn't even pick them off.

Seeing this, Xue Yanrong immediately kicked——

"Aiyo——" Xu Yu finally came back to his senses, and quickly retracted his eyes.

Xue Yanrong looked back and forth at the two people in front of him, the smile on the corners of his mouth grew more and more, Xu Yu was okay, he had a thicker skin, but Yao Shichu couldn't stand still, he lowered his head and turned his back.

Good things, all good things!

Xue Yanrong took the hand stove, held it in his arms, and was about to speak, when Yao Shichu, who was still blushing, suddenly turned around and walked over, took out a palm-sized note from his waist and handed it over——

"This is from the girl at the end of the year. According to your instructions, it has been sent to Jinxiu Manor."

The paper is nothing but the size of Jiang Youqing's clothes.

Xue Yanrong nodded, and took the note——

"If you want to do things, you have to be reliable at the beginning of ten years."

After speaking, Xue Yanrong opened the drawer and took out a list from it, which listed all the things she had thought about in the past few days——

"You follow the orders of the superiors to make arrangements, and when you have finished all the arrangements, send them to Luo's house."

Xu Yu took the list and looked at the words on it, and was stunned——

"Master, doesn't the bride price mean that the wife will buy it? Is this yours?"

Before Xue Yanrong could answer, Yao Shichu tapped Xu Yu on the head——

"This is not a bride price, but Miss Jiang's dowry."

"Huh? Dowry?"

Xue Yanrong frowned, and nodded towards Xu Yu and Yao Shichu——

"The dowry she left at Luo's house has long since disappeared, and Zhuangzi was also sold to me by Luo Zhengbei, and now the money on her body is only enough to buy two red sandalwood boxes. I didn't care about these at first, but I can't help but think about her. Grandmother dislikes her family background. It's only because of my sister's words. But if she gets married without a dowry, not to mention grandma, even the second uncle, I'm afraid someone will say, She will have a long time in the mansion in the future, and I can't let her lose her head because of this."

"Wouldn't that be cheaper for the Luo family?!" When Xu Yu thought that Jiang Youqing's uncle and aunt wanted to give her to Sun Maoda as a concubine, Xu Yu felt aggrieved in his heart!

"I've thought about this too, but in the end it's the one who raised her." Xue Yanrong said.

"But--"

"But what!" Yao Shichu slapped Xu Yu's shoulder, "You want Miss Jiang to be verbally abused?!"

Only then did Xu Yu calm down, and looked at Xue Yanrong with a serious face, "Master, you are still thoughtful, this Miss Jiang has followed you, and she won't have to suffer anymore!"

That's right, what do you mean by following me?

Xue Yanrong's face froze for a moment, his expression froze, and he looked away unnaturally——

"That's all right, all right, you and Shi Chu should hurry up and buy things. It's best to move things there before you get hired, so as to save time and being gossiped by outsiders."

"Lord, don't worry, Shi Chu and I will take care of it! I will prepare everything for you!"

Immediately Yao Shichu and Xu Yu went out with the list, and while Xu Yu was driving, Yao Shichu turned back to the house——

"Grandpa—"

"What's wrong?" Xue Yanrong asked.

Yao Shichu opened the curtain, poked his head in, stared at his master with a 'bad intention' smile, and looked at Xue Yanrong in a daze——

"If you have something to say, just talk about it. Why are you just smiling?"

"It's nothing else, just to tell you that you blushed just now."

As soon as Yao Shichu finished speaking, he lowered the curtain and disappeared.

Only Xue Yanrong, who hadn't reacted yet, was left with his mouth open, unable to speak for a long time——

After a long time, he raised his hand and touched his cheek——

Blushed?

No!

It is rare for Xue Yanrong to have such free time. He is usually busy with business matters. He always goes out early in the morning and comes back after dark. The daytime is gone in the blink of an eye. Unlike now, it all depends After reading the book for a long time, less than half an hour has passed, I frowned, and patiently turned over a few pages, but the more I read, the more boring I felt——

"It's all about writing."

Xue Yanrong threw the book in his hand on the low table, got off the soft couch, walked towards the couch, and decided to sleep for a while.

But before she stepped down, her footsteps stopped again, and she turned her head and looked at the mirror next to the screen——

Walking forward, looking at the bare desk, there was only a single wooden comb, and the next moment he thought about it——

Although I am a woman, I have always dressed up as a man to hide my eyes and ears for so many years. Whether it is the furnishings in the house or the belongings, even the living habits are simple and simple. Looking around, although the house is large, the furniture layout It is also extremely exquisite, but after all, it doesn't look like a woman's residence. After looking around, I can't see any bright colors.

If it's just me, it doesn't matter, but in the future she will come——

Can't it still be like this?

She must be asking for some rouge and gouache, flowery ones, right?

no no no—

She can just buy whatever she wants, why not buy it for her herself?

But then this idea was suppressed by Xue Yanrong. When she got married, she would have a lot of things to do. Not to mention anything else, how long would it take to learn the rules set by her grandmother?

How can you go out on the street at will?He must be unable to leave the house for a while, so is it possible to ask the servants to buy it temporarily?

Xue Yanrong frowned, thinking about it would be troublesome!

It's better to help her buy everything first, anyway, if you are idle, you are idle——

but?What does she like?

Xue Yanrong crossed his arms, and felt troubled again, he couldn't send someone to ask, could he?What did it look like, right or wrong——

Look left, look right, just when I was at a loss, a familiar voice came from the door, Xue Yanrong looked up——

The person who came was none other than his own sister Xue Yinhan.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up, yes!

How could I forget her!Aren't Jiang Youqing and Xue Yinhan exactly the same age? !

Presumably, the two of them are about the same age, so there must be some similarities in their favorite things!

"Second brother, I'm here—"

"You came just in time! Go! Let's go out into the street!"

At first, Xue Yinhan had always respected and feared Xue Yanrong, no matter what she said or did, she was very careful in front of him, but after a year of contact, Xue Yinhan really liked her second brother from the bottom of her heart. Not only because he never forgets himself when he has good things, but the most important thing is that he treats himself well. Although Xue Yinhan is young, he can still tell who treats him sincerely.

No, as soon as she heard that the second elder brother was going to get married, she ran over in a hurry. Originally, she came to congratulate her, but before she could say the words of congratulations, she was dragged into the street in a daze.

The carriage stopped in front of a rouge shop—

Xue Yinhan glanced at the facade in front of her, then turned her head to look at her second elder brother, and asked a little puzzled——

"Second brother, do you want to buy rouge?"

Xue Yanrong rubbed his fingers, and nodded unnaturally——

"Whatever, whatever."

Xue Yinhan's temperament is cowardly, but it doesn't mean he's stupid. Looking at Xue Yanrong's hesitant appearance, and thinking about his upcoming marriage, he immediately understood——

"Does the second brother want to buy it for his sister-in-law?"

"Uh——" Xue Yanrong was still a little unaccustomed to calling her sister-in-law, but she couldn't find another word to replace it, so she nodded again, "You are about the same age, and I think your vision should not be bad. Too many, as you know, our Xue family has a great career, the bride must learn the rules when entering the house, you, your future sister-in-law, she—”

While Xue Yanrong was still explaining, Xue Yinhan had already run into the shop and asked the shopkeeper to bring out all the colors that are bright but not flattering, gorgeous but not flamboyant, expensive but not vulgar.

"Second brother, come in quickly!"

Xue Yinhan was extremely excited, happier than buying things for herself.

They couldn't stop their shopping, first the rouge shop, then the silk and satin shop, and then the jewelry shop. They finished shopping around half of the shops in the capital, and the harvest was naturally quite rich.

When we got back to the mansion, it was already evening.

Hu Tong is Xue Yinhan's biological mother, with a gentle appearance and a low-key personality. It stands to reason that Xue Yinhan should be raised in Qingyin Pavilion when she was born. He made an exception and kept Xue Yinhan by her side to raise him, but Hu Tong is also a sensible person. Although he was raised by her side, he was very clear in addressing him. He has never let Xue Yinhan call him by her name in these years Mother, not even in private.

Right now, she was looking for Xue Yinhan everywhere, but she couldn't see anyone anywhere. Just thinking about where she could go, she saw her and Xue Yanrong walking in from the courtyard gate, and the servants behind were carrying big and small bags. few.

"Where did you go, girl? It's easy for me to find you." Hu Tong said and bowed to Xue Yanrong, "Brother Rong is here, hurry up and sit in the room."

"Aunt Hu, don't blame Yinhan, I asked her to go shopping with me temporarily." Xue Yanrong explained.

"How come, I'm afraid this girl is used to self-willedness, so just don't cause trouble to Brother Rong."

"Thanks to Yinhan today." Xue Yanrong waved his hand, "I won't stay right now, I'll go first."

After speaking, he glanced at Xue Yinhan again——

"I'll see you again when I'm free."

Xue Yinhan nodded, and immediately sent Xue Yanrong out of the yard.

It's just that when he came back, Hu Tong didn't have the easy-going smiley face just now. He stared at Xue Yinhan and said meaningfully——

"From now on, don't get too close to your second brother."

Xue Yinhan didn't respond to her, and only returned her with the same cold gaze, turned around and walked towards her room.

"I'm your mother! I'm for your own good!" Hu Tong shouted suddenly.

Xue Yinhan still ignored her, entered the room, and fastened the door, her eyes seemed to be holding back something, and soon she shed tears.

On the other side, as soon as Xue Yanrong came back, Yao Shichu looked like he had been waiting for a long time, and looked at his master with his arms folded, his eyes and face full of smiles——

Xue Yanrong was really scared of Yao Shichu, and before she could speak, he begged for mercy——

"Miss Yao, sister Yao! I won't talk about you in the future, okay? Just forgive me today!"

Then he hid in the house.

Just looking at the extra rouge and gouache, Xue Yanrong felt that he was hiding in the wrong place.

"Master, just admit it, you really like Miss Jiang in your heart." Yao Shichu walked in after him.

Xue Yanrong saw that he couldn't escape, so he simply didn't hide, and spread his hands——

"Can you stop talking nonsense? You don't know what's wrong with me. She and I just get what we need. There's nothing we like or don't like."

"What's your situation?!" Yao Shichu was unhappy when he heard this, put away his smile, and walked over, "Good family background, high net worth, good-looking talent! The situation couldn't be better!"

"But I'm not a man."

As soon as Xue Yanrong finished speaking, Yao Shichu raised his eyebrows——

"Then what's the matter? Maybe Miss Jiang doesn't like men either! Otherwise, why would she ask you to marry her!"

Xue Yanrong was quite helpless——

"At the beginning of the tenth century, you are protecting the calf, and you also divide the situation, I—"

"Stop talking, I don't like to hear it! Anyway, I think you are the best! No one can compare!"

Yao Shichu bent down, took off Xue Yanrong's boots, paused for a moment, then softened his voice——

"Brother, don't always think of things as bad. You should think about the good. Human hearts are long. If you treat her well, she will know."

Xue Yanrong let out a long sigh——

"Tired! So tired!"

Yao Shichu feels sorry for her master, she has confined herself too much these years——

"When Miss Jiang gets married and someone shares the burden with you, you won't be tired."

"If only."
