Chapter 306: Maintaining Media


Chapter 306: Media Preservation

Yue Jin is already sixteen years old, and she will be eighteen if she stays for another two years.

At the age of eighteen, it’s time to find someone to live with.

But Chu Xuanyu didn't have a suitable candidate around him. Even if he had a suitable steward and had a family, a young servant who had not yet married would not be able to climb into the position of steward, and a servant would not be worthy of Yue Jin.

The head of the Chu family had many things in charge, but Captain He looked good to her, and she didn't know if he had a wife.

With this thought in mind, after entering the house, Mrs. Zhuo deliberately sent Yue Jin away and asked directly, "Has Captain He taken a wife? How old is he? Are there any elderly brothers and sisters at home? What kind of relatives do you have in your ancestors?" ”

She looked like if Zeng didn't tell her, she would break the pot and get to the bottom of it.

Zeng was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Zhuo was going to act as a matchmaker for Yue Jin.

She smiled and answered Zhuo's questions one by one, "Captain He is twenty-two this year. He has no parents. He grew up in front of his uncle. He once had a wife, but she died in childbirth, and he never Don’t mention getting a wife.”

"Zheng Qing and Zheng Yan are his cousins, from his uncle's family... As for his uncle, he is very loyal and honest, and his aunt is also cheerful and generous. They know Mr. Lu and they are fellow villagers."

"That was more than ten years ago. On his way to Beijing, the old man happened to save the lives of his whole family. Later, he sent his three children to the Chu family, saying that he wanted to repay the old man's life-saving grace and let the three Children serve as guards.”

The old man Zeng mentioned was Mr. Chu Ge, and it was an accident that Mr. Chu Ge saved the Zheng family.

The Zheng family took a boat to the Minjiang River, but the boat leaked halfway. At that time, the whole boat was about to sink into the water. Just when the whole family was about to drown, Chu Ge's husband happened to be passing by.

At that time, Chu Gelao was on an official ship. When he saw someone in trouble, he took action to save the Zheng family.

After being rescued, Manager Lu discovered that it was someone he knew, a fellow villager, who was doing some escort work between the capital and Jiangnan.

Manager Lu, who was in charge at that time, often asked for escorts to secure goods when he was helping Mrs. Chu do business, and the escort agency he hired was the head of the Zheng family.

Later, when He Donglin and Zheng Qing and Zheng Yan grew up, the head of the Zheng family gave up and sent all three children to the Chu family as guards, saying that he was repaying Mr. Chu Ge for saving his life.

After Mrs. Zhuo understood the whole story, she felt that He Donglin was a good person, but he was a little older by two or three years, and he had a wife. If Yuejin married him, it would be like filling a house.

I don’t know if Yue Jin will agree?

Mrs. Zhuo thought about it in her mind and said, "Godmother, I think this is it. Don't mention this matter to Captain He first. I'll ask Yue Jin what she means. If she doesn't have any objection, I'll have to invite you." Your old man asked Captain He to come over and ask what Captain He meant.”

If both of them have no objections, then the marriage will be settled.

If one person disagrees, then find someone else.

Mrs. Zeng smiled and sighed, "I think you are free. Yue Jin is only a little older. There is no rush to let the maid out when she is twenty. There are still several years. If you ask me now, how can Captain He wait for this?" Year?”

Captain He is already in his twenties and will be nearly thirty in a few years. How could he wait for Yue Jin all these years?

The He family only has one seedling, and others are anxious to continue the family lineage.

Mrs. Zeng then said, "I see, the two boys from the Zheng family said that one of them is just right for Yue Jin, and they are about the same age. They are young and can afford to wait a few years."

As for Captain He, in her opinion, Qi Mei is a perfect match for Captain He.

Qi Mei is nineteen years old this year, and it’s time to get engaged.

Zeng made a decision in her heart and said a lot of good things about Zheng Qing, Zheng Yan and the two brothers. Zhuo then relaxed and said, "Call them here another day and let Yue Jin take a look. ”

"The person my godmother likes is definitely good. I believe in my godmother's vision."

"Okay, but Zheng Yan has an errand and went to Jiangnan. It will take some time before he can come back. Zheng Qing is in the house, why not ask Zheng Qing to come over tomorrow?"

"Then it's settled." Zhuo said cheerfully.

The next day, Zheng Yan was inexplicably called to the inner house. Inexplicably, Mr. Zhuo stared at him for half a cup of tea in the Luoye Pavilion. During this period, a little maid poured him a cup of tea.

How dare he drink?

Under Zhuo's green light, he stared at her without daring to raise his head.

Then, he was asked a lot of questions for no reason.

"Where is the person?"

"How many people are there in the family?"

"My hometown is in Minjiang City. My parents are still alive. There is an eldest brother and a younger sister." There are five people in total.

"How are your parents doing? Do you live in Minjiang City?"

"Both my father and mother are in good health. My father used to be the head of an escort. However, he got tired of escort work in his early years, so he sold the agency, bought ten acres of land in Orion Village on the outskirts of the capital, and built a two-story house. Live in a small house.”

Originally, he and his brother wanted his parents to buy a small house in the city to live in, but his parents thought that houses in the city were expensive, and living in the city would cost money to buy everything, so it was not worth it.

His parents spent one hundred and fifty taels of silver to buy ten acres of land in Orion Village, then circled a piece of land at the edge of the land and built a new two-story house.

Even buying the land and building a house cost a total of three hundred taels of silver. In addition, nine acres of land were planted, and the harvest was enough for the family to eat and drink. After all, it was much more cost-effective than buying a house in the city.

After asking a lot, Zhuo asked Zheng Qing to step back with a smile.

Zheng Qing was confused. After returning, she asked her cousin, "What does Mrs. Chu mean? I have no place to offend her, right?"

After all, He Donglin had married a wife and had seen and experienced more things than him. When he heard it, he could hear the flavor.

He smiled and put his arm around Zheng Qing's shoulders, jokingly saying, "You are lucky enough to be chosen by Mrs. Chu. They are looking at you." "Wha...what?" Zheng Qing's expression changed for a moment. It became as white as paper, "Mrs. Chu wants to be my matchmaker, who is it?"

"Were there any maids around at that time?" He Donglin asked.

"It seems... there is one."

There seemed to be a maid serving him tea, but he was so nervous at the time that he didn't even raise his eyes to see who the maid was.

Let alone see what she looks like clearly.

However, whether she looks good or bad, it has nothing to do with him. He will not marry anyone else.

"What's wrong with you?" He Donglin frowned when he saw something was wrong with his face, "Mrs. Chu is helping you as a matchmaker. That is the blessing you have earned through three lives. Don't be a monster."
< br>

"Cousin, I don't...can't agree." Zheng Qing was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead and his eyes were red.

He Donglin's face darkened, "Don't tell me that you have a sweetheart?"

If a man and a woman decide for life privately without the consent of their parents or the words of a matchmaker, they will be looked down upon by the world.

Even though they were bodyguards with no status, they couldn't do anything to get out of the cabinet in private, and they couldn't smear their boss's face.

"Tell me, do you really have a sweetheart?" He Donglin's face was cold and his eyes widened, so that Zheng Qing did not dare to look directly at him.

Finally, Zheng Qing stamped his feet and muttered. "I...I like people, but I don't know if they can take a fancy to me."

"Who is the other party?" He Donglin asked again.

Zheng Qing gritted his teeth at first and refused to say anything. Later, He Donglin became angry and threatened him, "Mrs. Chu just wants to look at you now. You go to the county magistrate or the old lady to confess. The matter may still be rectified in time. When Mrs. Chu If you speak to the old lady, once she agrees, you will have no chance to go back on your word.”

Zheng Qing cried anxiously, "Then... what should we do?"

"What to do? It depends on who you like, and then think of a way."

If she is from Beppu, or a girl from an ordinary family, just ask the old lady for a favor when the time comes.

But before Mrs. Chu tells the old lady, there is still a glimmer of hope. If it is from my house...

Okay, it's the same method, he just wants to know who this kid likes.

Zheng Qing murmured for a long time before finally saying, "Yes...it's Miss Qi Lan."

Qilan?

He Donglin thought of Old Man Qi and Qi Meilai.

"Well, not bad, she is a good girl." He Donglin praised Zheng Qing for her good eyesight. When he saw Zheng Qing froze in place and smiled stupidly after being praised, he couldn't help but kicked him, "What are you laughing at? You're not happy." Go and ask for the grace of the county master. It’s too late, and you can’t even hope to win the beauty back.”

"Ah, oh, I'll go right away."

Zheng Qing came to her senses and ran towards Xia Zihan's yard.

When he saw Xia Zihan, he blushed and talked for a long time before finally letting Xia Zihan understand the whole story.

"You want to marry Qi Lan?" Xia Zihan was stunned, "Does Qi Lan know?"

"No...I don't know."

He didn't even have time to confess to her, how could she know.

I wonder if she will agree with him?

When Zheng Qing thought about this, his originally excited expression suddenly turned dull.

Xia Zihan frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Otherwise, I will send someone to help you ask Qi Lan what she means. If she doesn't agree, then you can look at the person aunt told you. , if she agrees, then you ask Captain He to go to Master Qi to find out what Master Qi has to say.”

If Old Man Qi agrees, then the marriage is settled.

As for Yue Jin...

Xia Zihan tapped her fingers on the table, looking thoughtful. But after thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of a suitable person, so she could only put it aside for the time being.

Xia Zihan sent Chu Fei to ask Qi Lan what he meant.

Chu Fei came back less than an hour later and nodded to Xia Zihan with a smile.

Xia Zihan sent someone to tell Zheng Qing.

Zheng Qing was talking to He Donglin. After hearing the news, he almost jumped to the rafters with joy. He Donglin kicked him with a smile and cursed, "Look at you, you are so happy. My wife hasn't even entered the door yet, so you are acting so stupid."

When your daughter-in-law comes in, why don't you turn into an idiot?

Zheng Qing was laughing and joking and didn't care about her cousin's teasing.

When he had enough fun, he asked He Donglin to find out what Old Man Qi said.
