Chapter 400 Misunderstanding
"He is not young anymore. Grandma is worried about his marriage. It has almost become a worry in her heart. She just wants to help him solve the marriage. Master, can you ask him if he has a woman he likes? If so, Yes, no matter who it is, I will help him marry him.”
She couldn't tell Nuanyu directly that she liked He Donglin, so she beat around the bush and asked Master Qi to talk about He Donglin first.
"Okay, let me ask for you." Master Qi is also quick to do things. After Xia Zihan left, he went to find He Donglin.
He Donglin has always respected him as an elder and taken good care of him. Master Qi has also been thinking about his marriage, but seeing that Mrs. Chu has taken over the matter, he can't interfere anymore.
Xia Zihan's arrival was exactly what Master Qi wanted.
Just...
When Master Qi came out of He Donglin's room, his face was very solemn, and then he went to see Xia Zihan.
"What, you said he...he likes red plums?"
Xia Zihan stood up excitedly, and even the chair behind her was knocked over by her big movement, making a loud bang.
Chu Meng poked her head into the room, "County Master, what's going on?"
"It's okay."
She was talking to Master Qi without closing the door and her voice was not loud. People outside could not hear her, but the sound of the chair falling to the ground could be heard very clearly.
Thinking that there was a dispute between Xia Zihan and Master Qi, Chu Meng wanted to come in and persuade her. When her master said it was okay, she stepped into the room with one foot and retracted it.
Xia Zihan picked up the chair and sat down, feeling much calmer.
Woohoo, what should I do now?
Nuan Yu likes He Donglin, but He Donglin doesn't like Nuan Yu.
The person he liked happened to be Hongmei in his grandmother's house. This He Donglin really posed a problem for her.
Hongmei is the most capable maid in her grandmother's house. She has been with her grandmother for many years. In fact, Hongmei is almost 20 years old and has already reached the age of marriage. However, her grandmother is indispensable without Hongmei's waiters. She was reluctant to marry Hongmei, so she never mentioned Hongmei's marriage.
This girl Hongmei is also a patient person, and she has never mentioned her marriage.
However, although her grandmother was reluctant to part with Hongmei, she could not really prevent Hongmei from marrying for the rest of her life. Hongmei would get married sooner or later, but He Donglin was a widower, and Hongmei was her grandmother's favorite girl. Can her grandmother give up Hongmei to fill in He Donglin's house?
Xia Zihan was a little worried.
I felt a little sad for Nuanyu.
Master Qi also thought of this, which is why his brows have not relaxed since he left He Donglin's house.
"County Lord, do you think this is okay? Let Old Man Bai go to the old lady to find out what's going on. If the old lady is willing, then anything can be said."
If the old lady didn't agree, then he would have to make that boy He Donglin give up as soon as possible.
There is no grass anywhere in the world, and He Donglin doesn't have to hang himself on a tree. He can't break the old lady's heart just because of his selfish desires.
In the evening, Master Qi went to Old Man Bai's yard to drink and mentioned this matter.
In Xia Zihan's house, Xia Zihan dismissed the other maids and left Nuanyu behind, but...it's hard to talk about this.
How to tell Nuan Yunie.
Tell her that He Donglin, whom she likes, also likes Hongmei. From then on, when Nuanyu sees Hongmei, she must treat her like an enemy.
The hatred of husband-stealing is something a woman would hate, right?
Although Nuan Yu has a good temper and is very gentle, but... once a woman meets someone she likes, she will become unreasonable and unreasonable.
What to do, what to do to make Nuanyu and Hongmei remain good sisters like before, and don't hurt the feelings of sisters because of a man.
"Nuan Yu." Xia Zihan said after considering, "Well, you are seventeen this year, and you will be twenty in three years. I am thinking about finding a good family for you during these two years of national mourning. , look, do you have a suitable candidate in mind?”
It's better to force Nuanyu to tell her the person she likes first, and then slowly persuade her to calm down.
She had a hunch that her grandmother would definitely agree to the marriage between He Donglin and Hongmei. Both He Donglin and Hongmei were favored by her grandmother, except that He Donglin was a widower. But as long as Hongmei was willing, her grandmother would Nor will it be about the lifelong happiness of two people.
When her grandmother agrees, the news about He Donglin and Hongmei will spread throughout Chu's house, and then... she is afraid that Nuanyu will be embarrassed.
Otherwise, find an excuse to send Nuanyu out to avoid the limelight?
With a decision made in her heart, Xia Zihan waited for Nuan Yu to admit it. Unexpectedly, Nuan Yu was shy, her pretty face turned red and red, and she just stumbled and couldn't say a word.
"If you don't have the right one in mind, then I will pick one for you."
Seeing that Nuan Yu couldn't fart for a long time, Xia Zihan applied slight pressure. Seeing that Nuan Yu's face turned a little pale, she bit her lip and said, "Wait until the county master gets married before considering the slave." The marriage is done, I’m not in a hurry.”
You are not in a hurry, I am.
When He Donglin Hongmei's marriage is decided, you will be embarrassed and uncomfortable.
Even Si Cao can see that you like He Donglin, so there should be a lot of people in the Chu house who know about it, right?
Xia Zihan said with a straight face, "When I am nineteen, you will be twenty-one and an old girl. How can you get married?"
Nuan Yu's face turned pale, "A slave will not marry, but will serve his master all his life." Well, after forcing him for a long time, he finally said this.
Xia Zihan felt sorry for her, but was angry at her for not fighting, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can a woman stay unmarried her whole life? Even if you are willing, I won't let you go."
"Just because you are the eldest maid next to me, it is not up to you to choose the unmarried head of the house in charge of the house."
Except for He Donglin.
Of course, Xia Zihan did not say this last sentence.
Nuanyu's cheeks turned red all of a sudden, and she stammered for half a cup of tea before saying, "My slave... I have someone in my heart. He... He is not from the Chu Mansion."
Not from Chu Mansion?
Who is that?
Uh...
So, that person is not He Donglin?
Damn it, Damn Silk Grass, it almost made me embarrassed to see anyone. Fortunately, she didn't tell anyone her guess clearly, otherwise, it would have been a huge embarrassment.
Next time, you can no longer let the wind be the rain.
However, "Who is that person? Do I know him?"
"I know... I know you." Nuan Yu was extremely shy, and after mumbling for a long time, she revealed the identity of the person, "It's... he's Prince Chu's servant."
"Ah..."
Xia Zihan was completely surprised, "The place of birth?"
"No." Nuan Yu shook her head in shame, her face was so shameless that she could have boiled an egg, and her hands were uncomfortably grabbing the handkerchief, which was almost torn into pieces by her.
"Mabao?" Xia Zihan continued to guess.
Among Chu Jingqi's servants, only Shengdi and Ma Bao often travel to and from Chu's house. Especially in the past few years, Shengdi and Ma Bao have almost become Chu Jingqi's messengers. One of them will show up at Chu's house every month.
Sometimes, the arrivals are dense, and the journey is faster, and it takes half a month to arrive.
Could it be that during this period, when she wasn't paying attention, her Nuanyu was picked up by that brat Ma Bao?
"County Master, this servant's matter is not urgent." Nuan Yu said shyly.
Well, there is no rush. She, the master, has not yet passed through the door. How can she let the maid pass through the door first? If this is spread, no matter how you say it, it will not sound good.
Xia Zihan hummed, "Then wait a few years."
However, "Tell Ma Bao, you are my eldest maid. If the betrothal gift is too small, I will never marry you."
Hum, the eldest maid who dares to come to Chu's house to chat with her, this Ma Bao has the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard.
Nuan Yu blushed so hard that even the back of her neck turned red. She responded with a squeaky sound, grabbed the handkerchief, and ran away.
……
The next day, Old Man Bai talked to Mr. Zeng.
Old Man Bai is a man of the world, he speaks straightforwardly and does not mince words.
When he saw Mrs. Zeng, he opened the mountain door and said frankly, "That boy He Donglin has fallen in love with the Hongmei girl next to you. He was afraid that you would not agree, so he never dared to propose marriage. This time he escaped death. Only then did he figure out that it would be better to leave a queen for the He family as soon as possible.”
Old Man Bai spoke straightforwardly and without any ambiguity. He directly pointed out that He Donglin was loyal to the Chu family. He had risked his life and death for the Chu family several times and almost lost his life. For this reason, Mrs. Chu should not do it in front of this. Family affairs.
Zeng's heart aches.
She admired He Donglin very much.
His parents died, his wife died again, and he was the only one left in the He family. She also sympathized with his miserable life, but pity was pity. There was no reason for her to pity him, so she wanted to marry the most capable maid around to him as his wife. .
However, she is not a ruthless boss. He Donglin has protected the Chu family through life and death several times, and she knows it well.
She thought about it for a while and then said, "I also know He Donglin's temperament and character. He is good. I have always been thinking about his marriage. However, Hongmei's marriage requires her to nod. If she is willing, I won’t do it in front of her. If she is not willing, then let’s just pretend that this matter has not been mentioned and I will find another one for him over at He Donglin.”
Old Man Bai said yes repeatedly, so Zeng called Hongmei in and asked her in front of Old Man Bai.
Hongmei's pretty face was slightly red, her eyes were shy, and she just said, "I will obey the old lady's arrangements."
Mrs. Zeng knew that she was reserved and had a gentle temper. Even if she had something in her heart, she would not say it out loud. So she taught her with sincerity and sincerity, "This is a major event in your life. It is related to your life's happiness. You have to be willing to do it." , if you don’t like Captain He, even if I force you to marry him, you can’t live together. As time goes by, if we become enemies, wouldn’t it be that I have harmed you two?”
"No...it won't happen. Captain He is a good man who values love and justice." Hongmei said something to Donglin in embarrassment.
Hey, is there a show?
Old Man Bai twitched the corner of his lips and praised with a smile, "Well, that boy He Donglin has good taste. This girl is good, not bad, not bad."
