Chapter 218 Talking about kiss
The news that Zhu Ping’an returned home spread throughout the village at once.
Of course, when Mrs. Chen went out to pour swill early in the morning, she inadvertently said something "casually" to Aunt Li who was also pouring swill. In less than half an hour, the entire Xiahe Village knew that the Zhu family had passed the exam. The second boy came back, and the result was that when Zhu Ping'an came back from studying early in the morning, he saw so many people in his family, including four eldest aunts and eight uncles. It took him a long time just to say hello to uncle, aunt, and aunt.
Seeing that Zhu Pingan was already a senior official and was still so polite to them, these four eldest aunts and eight uncles were even more excited. They praised and praised Zhu Pingan, even There was also an old man who swore that when Zhu Pingan was born, he saw the red clouds all over the sky behind Zhu's house burning like fire.
Zhu Pingan blushed when these people said it directly.
Mother Chen enjoyed this atmosphere very much, and from time to time she would tell stories about Zhu Ping'an's childhood, such as how he could herd cattle at the age of 5, etc., which aroused a burst of praise from the four aunts and eight uncles around her, and then Chen continued to praise her. Wave your hands and say modestly How could my pig be so smart? She was very skinny when she was young, but her face looked like she had drunk a few ounces of wine.
“His aunt, my second aunt’s little daughter is now 12 years old, and she is sensible again. And capable, ten miles away I don’t think the villager is too proud. I think it’s the same as your Ping An Lang.”
An aunt talked in a roundabout way for a while and then the conversation suddenly changed to the topic of wanting to transfer the money to her second aunt’s house. The youngest daughter introduced to Zhu Ping An, Zhu Ping'an is a master of civil affairs. He can become an official in minutes. If the relative's daughter is given to Zhu Ping'an, the relative's family will naturally enjoy great blessings. Then won't he, the matchmaker, also follow suit? Take advantage of it.
When Chen heard this, his expression changed. Before he could speak, someone next to him raised objections.
"Auntie, I have nothing to say, my little daughter is sensible and capable, but she is tall."
An aunt stood up and quit as soon as she heard what the aunt said. Although she didn't say what the aunt's little daughter looked like, she almost understood it from the tut-tutting tone.
Listening to someone helping her to refuse, Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could finish her relief, the aunt who just helped her spoke again, which made Mrs. Chen sigh again. The top is coming.
“Let me tell you, the eldest daughter of my second aunt’s family is called Shuiling. She is from Zhaotou Village. Have you seen her before? What a good girl. She is a matchmaker. The threshold has been lowered by three inches."
After belittling the aunt, she described the eldest daughter of her second aunt's family as a flower. The meaning is self-evident. Metaphor.
“Forget it, the girl from your second aunt’s family is already sixteen, more than three years older than Ping An Lang, if you ask me.”
Another sister-in-law came forward.
Then, the yard of Zhu Ping'an's family is like entering a group of ducks. Hey, you are a theme one by one. .
Ms. Chen’s face is not very pretty. She has seen many of the girls introduced by her seventh aunt and eighth aunt. Compared with Li Shu, the best daughter-in-law in her heart, these girls introduced by her seventh aunt and eighth aunt She can't even compare to the maids of Li Shu's family, let alone Li Shu. One is a golden phoenix flying in the sky, and the other is a group of small house sparrows flying on the ground. How can they compare.
Li Shu is beautiful, sensible, kind, filial, good at running a household, and has a good family background. The most important thing is that Chen Shijue’s Li Shu is particularly prosperous. Only such a girl can be worthy of her family. Piggy, as for these They have a good relationship with seven aunts and eight aunts, but compared with the lifelong events of their own pig, they have to be put aside. How can a local girl in the village be worthy of a pig who will become a high official in the future? From now on, Pig will not be able to lift his head when he goes out.
Looking at the seven aunts and eight aunts vying to introduce him to his partner, Zhu Pingan’s face twitched.
"Ahem, cough, cough, our pig has some arrangements." Mrs. Chen coughed and said something embarrassing to the seventh and eighth aunts who were about to start a fight in the yard.
Then the yard was quiet for a while, and then he asked whose girl it was, what she looked like, and what her character was like.
Chen smiled and said nothing.
Chen's mystery and affirmation made the seventh and eighth aunts give up the idea of introducing their relatives to Zhu Ping'an.
My mother is still reliable at the critical moment. Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but pay attention to Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen looked at Zhu Pingan's relieved and grateful eyes, and thought that Zhu Pingan had guessed something. Her second child often went to borrow books from others. For such a beautiful and well-behaved girl, it was hard to believe that her second child had some thoughts about him, so she thought in her heart That idea is going to be beyond the realm of possibility.
The ancients were embarrassed to express their thoughts on marriage. In ancient times, when a girl was satisfied with her marriage, she would be shy and run back to the boudoir without saying a word. At most, a boy would listen to his mother's words.
So, Zhu Ping'an's look made Chen misunderstood.
The seventh aunt and the eighth aunt stayed at Zhu Ping'an's house for a while, until the smoke started coming from the village. Mrs. Chen politely left them to eat at home. The seventh aunt and eighth aunt thanked Mrs. Chen and reluctantly left. left.
Huh
Looking at the seventh and eighth aunts leaving, Zhu Pingchuan took a breath. This was much harder than the imperial examination.
"Really, I've been delayed so much that I haven't had time to make the chicken soup yet." Mrs. Chen said a little arrogantly, and then went into the kitchen to continue making chicken soup.
The eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan came out of the house and joked with Zhu Pingan, "Do you have a crush on me? Tell me."
Zhu Pingan shook his head repeatedly.
Then I heard my eldest brother Zhu Ping'an say a little embarrassedly, "Well, that Juan'er has a cousin"
At first glance, it was my future sister-in-law who mentioned it to my eldest brother.
Before the eldest brother finished speaking, he saw Mrs. Chen coming out of the kitchen aggressively with a fire stick.
"Zhu Dachuan, try saying something to me again!" Mrs. Chen grabbed Zhu Pingchuan's ear and tried to use the fire stick to fall on Zhu Pingchuan. However, looking at the sparks on the fire stick, she was stunned. I'm not willing to fight.
"Mother, I want to have a wife." Zhu Pingchuan screamed as Mrs. Chen grabbed her.
"What's wrong with marrying a wife? You, the one who can't carry it, still hit her in front of your wife." Mrs. Chen glared at Zhu Pingchuan angrily, and then gave her another hard squeeze before letting go.
"Why can't I carry it clearly?"
Zhu Pingchuan hesitated a little aggrievedly, but in exchange for Chen's gesture of waving a fire stick, he did not dare to say any more.
"You think about it yourself" Mrs. Chen glared at Zhu Pingchuan again before entering the kitchen.
Think it yourself? Zhu Pingchuan couldn't understand, and turned his gaze to Zhu Ping'an in confusion.
“Ahem, brother, I went to the room to warm up my books.”
Zhu Ping'an coughed and went to the bedroom, leaving Zhu Pingchuan standing in the yard with a confused look on his face. He didn't know where he could not tell the difference. Isn't it a good thing to introduce his wife to his second brother? Why can't he tell the difference? It's cleared. (End of this chapter)
