Chapter 1152 Waste
Grandma Yu was very efficient and came to Chu Mansion at noon.
Aunt Yu reported, "The old slave picked up two boxes of fruits and sent them to the Lu family according to the princess's instructions. Before leaving, he secretly asked a mother of the Lu family about Miss Lu. Miss Lu had not yet been engaged and was waiting to be married. Now, let’s hear what the mother said. Mrs. Lu’s wife was so worried that she couldn’t sleep all day and night because of Miss Lu’s affairs. Miss Lu’s marriage had become a worry for the Lu family. However, this year, General Lu After returning from Jiangnan, he received a generous reward from the emperor for his great achievements. The Lu family used all the property rewarded by the emperor as Miss Lu's dowry, and planned to go to the countryside to find a man to marry their daughter. The wife said that she would rather let her daughter go to the countryside and be a happy landlord's mother-in-law than a little daughter-in-law who is looked down upon by others in the city. "
With the appearance and temperament of a girl from the Lu family, it was really difficult to find a good man in the capital. Therefore, the Lu family wanted to go to the countryside to find an honest and honest man for her.
Miss Lu has a large dowry and is supported by the Lu family. She has such a temperament that even if she goes to the countryside, she will not suffer hardships. When the time comes, the Lu family will buy her hundreds of acres of land in the countryside. She Even if this landlady sits still, she can still eat and drink for a lifetime.
Therefore, after much thought, the Lu family decided to go to the countryside to find a husband for Miss Lu before the New Year. Otherwise, when the New Year comes, Miss Lu will be nineteen years old and become an old girl, and she will not be able to get married. .
"Princess, the Lu family's matchmakers have been sent out. If you want to go to the Lu family to propose marriage, you have to do it as soon as possible. Otherwise, someone will get there first and it will be too late by then." Grandma Yu said.
In the capital, it was difficult for Miss Lu to find a partner, because no one would be willing to marry a tigress for his son and come back to bully his son.
But the country men are different. The life of the rural people is already difficult, and there are many people who cannot afford the money to marry a wife. Nowadays, some people pay a large dowry and can become an official in the court. This kind of good thing will probably happen. Being scrambled for.
Xia Zihan was surprised that the Lu family wanted to marry Miss Lu to a rural man.
She quickly told Chu Qing, "Prepare the carriage. I'll go to Xia's house."
She had to discuss this matter with her father in person. As long as her father agreed, she would go to the Lu family in person to finalize the marriage.
If she went to propose marriage in person, the Lu family would not reject her even for the sake of Prince An's palace.
Immediately, Xia Zihan took Nanny Yu and Chu Qingqiao to Xia's house.
Xia Shiming had just returned from school and was taking the knowledge test for his two sons. When he heard that his precious daughter was back, he threw down the books in his hands and said to his two sons, "You haven't seen your eldest sister for a long time. Go and invite your eldest sister." Good luck.”
The Xia family was separated, and the ranking of the children of the second brother's family changed again. Xia Zihan was the eldest daughter and the eldest daughter of the second brother's brother. Xia Ziye's brother's title was changed from second sister to eldest sister.
Xia Zihai, who was originally ranked seventh, and Xia Ziye, who was ninth, have become the second and third young masters of the Xia family's second room.
Xia Ziye is the closest to Xia Zihan. When he heard her coming, his eyes were as bright as the stars on a summer night, and his heart was filled with joy.
But despite this, his serious face showed the same expression as that of a little old man. With a straight face, he nodded seriously, and then followed his father to the backyard.
The two brothers were very happy and excited to see Xia Zihan, but their every move in the salute was so pedantic that Xia Zihan wanted to hit the wall.
In the past few years, she has also been a little busy. She has not come to Xia's house many times. She can count the times she has seen her two brothers on one hand, so she has neglected them a lot. However, they are only two Three years have passed. How come the two younger brothers have become more and more like her pedantic father as they grow older?
The way he moves is obviously a replica of her father when he was a teenager, right? It is true that those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are dark. How can the people taught by her father be like him?
Xia Zihan stroked her forehead, and was very pleased that her two younger brothers had inherited her father's temperament. Like Xia Shiming, they were decent people with excellent character, much better than that playboy Xia Zijiang.
Xia Zihan didn't mince words and directly explained the purpose of his visit to Xia Shiming. He also told Xia Shiming the situation of the Lu family and the affairs of the Lu family girls.
Xia Shiming is a civil servant, and he also wants to find a woman from a scholarly family for Xia Zijiang, who is gentle, virtuous, and able to run the family like Mrs. Xia Er.
His old face turned red from suppressing it, and he stuttered, "Yu Niang, is there... is there a more virtuous woman? You also know your brother's temperament, that is..." a waste.
He really couldn't say the last two words. After all, he was his eldest son. He really had no shame in saying that his eldest son was a loser, but that was the fact.
"I want to find a virtuous man for your eldest brother who can manage the family. I can't let him go. By then, he won't even have enough food and clothing." Xia Shiming considered.
Xia Zihan understood Xia Shiming's thoughts as soon as she heard it. She said with a half-smile, "Dad, let's not talk about it for now, can we find a gentle, virtuous, and good-character girl willing to marry him? Xia Zijiang's character , can you really control him by marrying a gentle, virtuous and weak woman at home?”
"He can be bold enough to sneak around and pawn things at home, and send the money to the casino for nothing. After you have separated him out, and no one is around to control him, won't he become even more unscrupulous?"
< br>
"Perhaps, all the property you gave him will be destroyed by him in less than a year."
"Gambling is not a good thing."
"No matter how strong his wife is in managing the family and no matter how virtuous she is, if she has an incompetent husband who is ruining the family, she will be powerless if she wants to support the family, right?"
Xia Shiming was stunned for a while after hearing this. In the end, his face turned pale and red, and his face was full of embarrassment and discomfort.
He just wanted to find a gentle, virtuous, and capable wife for his eldest son, but he forgot that with his eldest son's temperament, he wouldn't be able to control him unless he married a powerful wife.
However, among the girls trained by the scholarly family, which one is powerful?
Therefore, it might not be a bad thing to marry him a wife who is capable and fierce, and who will discipline him obediently.
After Xia Shiming figured it out, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
Although the woman was three years older than Xia Zijiang, as the saying goes, a woman in her third year holds a gold brick. Xia Shiming did not mind that the woman was older than Xia Zijiang.
He actually said, "Yu Niang, after your eldest brother gets married, he will live separately. We must make this clear to the other party first, so as not to cause trouble for us in the future from the Lu family."
