Chapter 1101 Proposal
It's just that, haha... She couldn't bear to let Chu Fei make a baby for others. Besides, with Chu Fei's temperament, he would rather not marry for the rest of his life than to make a baby for others.
Therefore, no matter whether the second brother has any thoughts about Chu Fei or not, this marriage will definitely not happen.
However, Chu Fei is indeed old and should have found her an in-law a long time ago. However, she does not have a good candidate at the moment, and Chu Fei's temper is extremely stubborn.
Every time she asked her what kind of husband she wanted to find, Chu Fei would always say that he would not marry with an attitude of not being afraid of boiling water.
Hey...
So sad.
Xia Zihan frowned, with a sad expression on his face.
Chu Jingqi pinched her face and said, "What are you worried about? That girl has a cold temper. Find someone strong for her. I guarantee that she can be tamed and submissive in a few days."
"Hey, Aqi, why don't you find her one from the army?" Xia Zihan's eyes were dark and bright. In the blink of an eye, she had her mind set on a group of young generals under Chu Jingqi.
"As long as you have good features and decent abilities, it doesn't matter your family background. However, Chu Fei doesn't like to talk and has a cold temper. If you want to find her, you have to find someone who is more sunny and enthusiastic. Otherwise, if you find a boring gourd, the couple will not be able to spend a day. In one word, wouldn’t that house become an ice cellar?”
Thinking of that scene, Xia Zihan shuddered and snuggled up to Chu Jingqi.
Chu Jingqi patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's easy to find people. As for your two conditions, I have several people who meet them. However, you'd better find a way to talk her through first."
"Oh, yes, Chu Fei has the coldest and most stubborn temper."
Xia Zihan looked sad again.
"Actually, if it's not soft, let's make it hard." Chu Jingqi pinched her cheeks and pulled them to both sides, not wanting to see her bitter face.
"Do you want your people to use force?" Xia Zihan raised her eyes and glared at him hard.
Chu Jingqi hurriedly explained, "How dare I? Chu Fei is your maid, and she and you are like sisters. Even if I am anxious to fulfill your wish, I will not ignore your maid's happiness."
Xia Zihan hummed, "That's pretty much it, what do you mean?"
Chu Jingqi said seriously, "After my army came back from Jiangnan last time, many soldiers' clothes were torn because of digging water channels. You also know that those grown men are good at fighting, but if you want them to hold needles, then follow If their lives were to be the same, how could they sew clothes? There is a military rule in the team. We only wear four sets of winter and summer clothes throughout the year. If you don’t change the clothes once they are worn out, you have to wear them in rags. Everyone wears them in rags, which affects the military appearance. After I go back this time, I want to borrow some clothes from you. A maid was sent to the military camp to do needlework and sew clothes for the soldiers.”
"Okay, let Chu Lin send thirty maids over, and Chu Fei will lead the team..."
After learning about Chu Jingqi's plan, Xia Zihan smiled and nodded in agreement.
In this way, the couple planned to marry Chu Fei while she was in the military camp.
However, plans did not change quickly.
The next day, people from the Xia family came again.
The person who came this time was a mother in charge of Mrs. Xia, and a matchmaker came with him.
She came to ask for marriage, and to Xia Zihan's great surprise, she actually asked to marry Chu Fei as his legitimate wife, not as an aunt as she had guessed.
"Princess, the eldest lady is very fond of Miss Chu Fei. She said that as long as the princess nods and agrees to the marriage, she will give Miss Chu Fei a dowry gift just like when the eldest young master married the eldest young mistress."
In a large family, when the eldest son and grandson marries his wife, the bride price is usually larger than that of other younger brothers in the family. This is because the eldest son's legitimate grandson's wife will be the future patriarchal wife of the family, and marrying the next generation's patriarchal wife is naturally more expensive than that of his younger brothers. It's much more grand. But now, when the Xia family lost a large sum of money, Mrs. Xia actually opened Haikou and promised to marry Chu Fei as a betrothal gift according to Mrs. Xia's preparations.
This is really impressive to Chu Fei.
This kind of honor is really not like what Mrs. Xia she knew was given to her.
Xia Zihan squinted her eyes and looked calm. She did not feel happy because of the matchmaker's words, but... regardless of whether Mrs. Xia was sincere or not, she still had to tell Chu Fei about this matter.
As for what she chooses, she will always rely on Chu Fei.
After Xia Zihan's thoughts turned around, he looked at the matchmaker and said, "A few years ago, I promised several of my maids that they would decide their own marriages. Now, Chu Fei is the only one around me. The oldest maid, my second brother asked you to propose marriage to her. To be honest, I am very surprised.”
"Although I am very happy for Chu Fei to be favored by my second brother, I still say that it is not up to me whether to agree to this marriage, but to Chu Fei."
After Xia Zihan finished speaking, the matchmaker had a look of disbelief on her face, but with Xia Zihan's identity here, even if she didn't believe it or couldn't believe it, she didn't dare to refute Xia Zihan's words.
She smiled coquettishly and said, "The princess is really a good master who values affection and justice. In this case, please send someone to ask Miss Chu Fei about her wishes."
Xia Zihan sent Chu Qing there.
Chu Qing went away for a while to burn incense before running back in a hurry.
As soon as she entered the door, she said as excitedly as if she had won a battle, "Master, Sister Chu Fei said that the second young master has a distinguished status, and a little maid like her cannot reach it."
In fact, when Sister Chu Fei said something, her eyes were full of disdain and there was a look of disdain on her face.
Of course, she wouldn't say this in public.
Being rejected by Chu Fei was beyond the matchmaker's expectation, making her feel as if she was stupid for a moment. She said in a daze, "Rejected? Girl, did you hear that right?"< br>
"How could I hear this sentence wrong?" Chu Qing has always been rude to outsiders.
Huh, can she still lie in front of her master?
To dare to question what she said in reply to her master was simply asking for a fight.
Chu Qing spoke very rudely and chased them away, "I don't think Sister Chu Fei will change her mind. You should hurry back to Xia Mansion to reply to the eldest lady. The eldest lady may be anxious waiting at home."
The matchmaker had a grimace on her face, feeling very distressed that the one hundred taels of silver that Mrs. Xia had promised her when she arrived was gone. It was a heartache.
The Xia family's mother, who was in charge of the family, also looked disappointed. After leaving with a stiff smile, the two of them left sadly.
As soon as they went out, they saw two men and one woman riding horses and stopping at the door of the small courtyard.
The matchmaker stared at the face of one of the men, her eyes almost popping out of her head, "Oh my God, whose family does that young master belong to? He is so... so handsome."
The mother who was in charge of the Xia family also glanced at it and hurried back to the Xia Mansion, "Matchmaker Liu, let's go. No matter how good-looking that man is, he has a wife. Didn't you see that after he dismounted, he held the woman's hand and went in?" ”
