Chapter 31: Come to the door again
The next day, the matchmaker invited by the Wu family came to Liren Lane with great fanfare, "The little woman came to propose marriage to your second young master for the eldest girl from the county magistrate's family."
The man always proposes marriage to the woman. If the woman proposes marriage to the man, it means that the man will marry into the woman's family. A man who is not poor or has no future will not be willing to marry into the woman. The Cheng family is endless, and Cheng Jue is not a useless person. In addition to humiliating the Cheng family and Cheng Jue, the Wu family's actions also make the Cheng family suspicion of complying.
The people who watched the lively were talking about it. Not to mention the big girl from the county magistrate's family, she is only over seven years old this year, and there is still eight years left before her hairpin. If something happened to someone, wouldn't she have a bad reputation of harming her husband (wives)?
"Shu Zi is hateful, she is hateful, she is bullying too much!" Mr. Cheng angrily smashed the teacup in his hand.
Mr. Cheng half-squinted his eyes and stroked his beard one after another. Cheng Jue sat next to him and savored the tea calmly, his expression as usual, as if he was not the one who was forced to marry.
Miao said to Tao with concern: "My father-in-law wrote a letter to Jindu to find someone, but he was afraid that the distance water would not save the near fire."
"Sister Miao, don't worry, there will be no problem, there will be no problem." Tao comforted Miao, but his heart was in vain. In his dream, Cheng Jue was the top scholar in Tianshun's seventh year, but now there is no such year name as Tianshun, everything has changed. He wouldn't marry Wu Yaoniang's ugly daughter, right?
Shen Danxia has seen people who forcibly robbed women from good families on books and TV. This time, he has gained some knowledge and some who forcibly robbed women from good families! Of course, the difference between women and women is that men are more resistant than women, and their reputation is limited.
"Little Jiu, are you worried about me?" Cheng Jue gently pinched Shen Danxia's white and tender little face and asked with a smile.
Shen Danxia was not worried. She felt that the Cheng family and Cheng Jue had the ability and could solve this problem, but she would not answer his question. She was still young and she couldn't understand. She showed him a innocent and cute smile and handed the lotus root powder honey cake in her little hand to his mouth, "Brother Cheng eats cake."
"Brother Cheng doesn't eat it." Cheng Jue smiled slightly, "You eat it yourself."
Shen Danxia stuffed the honey cake into his mouth and ate it. The corners of his mouth were covered with pastry foam. Cheng Jue took out a light blue sweat towel from his arms and wiped it clean with gentle and carefulness.
The seventh-rank official is indeed considered to be "high-ranking and powerful" in front of ordinary people. After all, the people do not fight with the officials, but Wu Youcai is too arrogant and thinks that the down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken, but forgets that the lean camel is bigger than a horse.
Shen Danxia is young, and this is the matter of the Cheng family, so no one will tell her in detail how the matter was solved. Until half a month later, at the end of September, Cheng Jue and Cheng Yu came to deliver grapefruits. From Cheng Jue, he learned that the county magistrate of Lutai County was about to be replaced.
Shen Danxia smiled comfortably. Although she had confidence in the Cheng family and Cheng Jue, she could not be completely at ease before the matter was completely resolved. Now, Cheng Jue doesn't have to be forced to marry the evil daughter of Wu Yaoniang.
"Brother Cheng second peels grapefruit for you to eat, okay?" Cheng Jue scratched her fat double chin and asked with a smile.
Shen Danxia stretched out his little fat claws and slapped the big grapefruit, looking very happy. Seeing that she was so happy, Cheng Jue asked the maid to take it down, peel off the skin and then take it in.
Cheng Jue was feeding Chen Danxia to eat grapefruits, looking at her bulging cheeks like a little squirrel, and smiled gently.
At this time, Cheng Yu, who went to send grapefruit to the Shen brothers, ran in with a thump, and pulled Chen Danxia's face as soon as he came up, "Xiao Ah Jiu..."
"Pa." Chen Danxia opened his hand that was pinching her face hard.
"Oh." Cheng Yu touched his hand, "Little Nine Sister, why are you hitting me?"
Chen Danxia swallowed the grapefruit in his mouth and pouted, "Don't pinch my face."
"My second brother also pinched your face." Cheng Xu asked for the same treatment.
Chen Danxia's apricot eyes widened and stared at him, saying, "Second brother pinched it gently, you pinched it heavily, it hurts." Since the last time she was seen through by Cheng Jue, she subconsciously used the children's habitual words in front of Cheng Jue. This is a kind of cover-up. Although it is useless, it is better than nothing.
Cheng Jue saw that Chen Danxia's white and tender little face was pinched red by Cheng Yu, frowned slightly and said, "Sister Hujiao, please come here with cooling paste."
Hu Jiao went out to get the ointment.
"Third brother, you are too young and have no serious actions. Don't pinch Xiaojiumei in the future, as it will hurt Xiaojiumei." Cheng Jue warned him.
"I'll be gentle in the future." Cheng Qing didn't want to give up the right to pinch Chen Danxia's face easily. The warm and soft feeling was very fun.
Cheng Jue reached out and pinched Cheng Jue's face hard.
"Second brother, it hurts." Cheng Xu said with a cover of his face.
"You know that the pain is, but you can't pinch Xiaojiumei anymore? You have thick skin and thick flesh, but Xiaojiumei's skin and tender skin are even more painful. Do you know?" Cheng Jue asked seriously.
"I understand, I won't pinch it anymore." Cheng Xu looked at his second brother pitifully.
Chen Danxia used two fat hands to cover his mouth and giggled, and his clear eyes were rumbling around. Brother Cheng was mighty!
Cheng Jue raised his lips, touched her bud head, and continued to peel the grapefruit for her to eat. Cheng Jue climbed onto the Trojan and twisted the mechanism on the Trojan's ears.
"Girl, Sister Zhaocai is here." Hu Jiao opened the curtain and reported to the inside.
"Sister Zhaocai." Chen Danxia called sweetly.
Zhaocai smiled and greeted Cheng Jue and the other two, saying, "Girl, the eldest lady is here, let's let you go."
A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Danxia's eyes. Since Lin left due to frustration in October last year, the two rooms have almost stopped interacting. When he met this year on Qingming Festival, Lin still had a nose that was not a nose, and his face was not a face. What was the reason for today? He put down his figure and came to the door regardless of his face?
"Sister, let's go there together." Shen Bomi and Shen Boyu walked in.
Today, Shen Bomi and Shen Boyu don’t have to go to school, and Mr. Cheng won’t assign additional homework, but Chen Muke suddenly remembered the responsibility of being a father, so he asked the two brothers to write twenty big characters each. The two brothers had to complete this task, but they could not come to play with their sister.
The three brothers and sisters arrived in the hall, and Chen Dan told the three sisters that the three sisters had arrived. This time, Lin only brought Shen Baishou over. Chen Danxia looked at Shen Baishou wearing a light green boy suit, his eyes flashed slightly and his eyebrows were slightly frowned. Thanks to the fact that Shen Baiyu was reciting "Dafeng Lilu" a few days ago, she listened and recorded it.
The Dafeng Dynasty did not strictly stipulate the color of clothing. Except for the bright yellow, it cannot be used at will, but the color can be used at will, but there are strict regulations on the style of wearing it on any occasion. Students who have not passed the boy's test have to go to school. They have to change their clothes when they meet guests at home, let alone go out as guests.
Chen Danxia didn't believe that the Shen family's room was so poor that they even had clothes to go out as guests. Lin's beaded hairpins were worth a few dollars, so Shen Baishou must have the intention to come over in a boy's suit. Chen Danxia was not wrong. Lin wanted Shen Baishou to become a disciple under Mr. Cheng's disciple.
