Chapter 2322 Light Gate Lintel 123
Matchmaker Zhang glanced secretly, caught Fang Xiucai's expression in her eyes, and was secretly proud of herself. Unmarried but with children, this kind of matchmaking is not something that can be easily obtained.
Surprisingly, Wu Jue bowed and defended: "I have nothing to do with Miss Fang. I sincerely marry you today. I ask Master Fang to make it happen."
Fang Xiucai was stunned.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Matchmaker Zhang quickly changed the subject: "Guardian Wu has never been married before, and his family has long lost his parents, brothers and sisters. From now on, when your girl marries, she will be a real eldest lady. Such a good marriage, If you miss it, you will never find it again.”
Fang Xiucai asked in disbelief, "Never married?"
"Yes, I was living in the world before, so I didn't want to worry too much. Ever since Miss Fang came, I thought it was time to start a family." As soon as Fang Qingqing came, the junior sister didn't know what the cramp was. However, I have also figured it out in the past few days. Not only is it not to guard the door with Uncle Zhong in the future, but it might also be good to have a wife.
When the words reached Fang Xiucai's ears, they meant something else. Could it be that his daughter seduced an old bachelor? But looking at Wu Jue's appearance, he was older than himself, with a scar on his face, and he spoke in a strong voice, and he didn't look like someone who would be easily dazzled by women.
Fang Xiucai asked tentatively: "Why do you think your daughter is marryable?"
Wu Jue said what Xining said without thinking: "I am already in my thirties, and I should be the father of several children. Miss Fang is only eighteen years old, and she should be literate and polite. I have endured hardships and been deceived, and now I know how to cherish the hard-won marriage.”
Fang Xiucai's eyes lit up, these words were true, he seemed to have figured it out before he came to propose marriage.
After hesitating, he still said it with difficulty: "As the saying goes, the ugly words come first. I am not strict in discipline and let my little girl do wrong things. Well... what if someone comes to visit me in the future..."
At this point, Fang Xiucai wanted to hide his face, his old face turned red.
Wu Jue quoted what he said when he was still a junior junior sister, but added his own words: "How can you come with such a face? What were you doing before? If you come, it will be all up to the lady. If the lady is willing to go with you, I will immediately write a letter of departure. , if you don’t want to, just call it out.”
After some estimation, he said with certainty: "I can beat him." With Liu Yulang's skill, he was only as good as a little thief.
Domineering and manly enough! But I am still a little afraid of this kind of martial artist, because I am afraid that he will beat his wife in the future.
Fang Xiucai asked tentatively: "That child..."
"Mine!" Wu Juena exclaimed cheerfully: "We already have a name, my junior sister named it."
Matchmaker Zhang quickly interjected: "That's the little miracle doctor from Xuanhumen, the head of Xining County."
Fang Xiucai nodded and turned to look at Wu Jue.
Wu Jue continued: "The name is Yong, Wu Yong. The nickname is Bao'er. The junior sister has already said that she will ensure that Bao'er will study in the future. If he fails to study, he will also be asked to learn a trade. It depends on whether he can live up to his expectations."< br>
This is a wonderful name, and the nickname also shows the family's attitude towards raising this child as a treasure. In the future, he will be provided with a scholarship. You must know that it is not easy for an ordinary family to provide a scholar. It took several generations for the Fang family to provide him with a scholar. But when it comes to being a scholar, without a good teacher, it is difficult to go further. Relying on him, another scholar was selected. He will wait for the provincial examination next year. If he succeeds in the examination, then the Fang family will really become an official.
If you can do this to your children, you will definitely not do any worse to your own daughter. Just ask how many men are so generous, most of them would think not to raise other people's children.
Fang Xiucai was very happy: "Xuanhumen is really kind-hearted. If you can entrust your little girl to your care, I can rest assured."
Wu Jue patted his chest: "Please rest assured, Mr. Fang, I will definitely be good to my wife and my children." Fang Xiucai became worried again: "What if you also have children in the future..."
"Then let's raise them together. If you can't study, then you can learn martial arts from me. If you can't be good at literature or martial arts, then study medicine. If you can't do it, you can be sent to Huoyun Villa as an apprentice. If you can't do it..." Wu Jue had an idea: " Just leave it here, Mr. Fang, Mr. Qin Fang will take care of it.”
The steward sitting next to him at the end smiled and bowed: "The little old man is the steward of the town in Hedong of Huoyun Villa. The young master of my village and the master of Xining County are close friends of life and death. If the master of Xining County really has someone to trust him, we will definitely teach him according to his aptitude. , arrange appropriate errands.”
"Ouch~" Matchmaker Fang waved her handkerchief at the right time: "Huoyun Villa, that's the most powerful person in Jiangnan. I heard that the rewards for the border officers this time were all paid by his family, and for this they even received money from the emperor. Praise. Your daughter is really tied to a big tree, and she will enjoy it in the future.”
Then he asked tentatively: "What about this marriage..."
Fang Xiucai thought about it. Although he was a little older and a little rougher in appearance, he had never been married and his family was clean. The most important thing was that he could accept his daughter's past. Perhaps after passing this village, there was no such shop, so he nodded solemnly.
Seeing Fang Xiucai nod, Matchmaker Fang jumped up and said, "Then it's settled." Haha, Matchmaker's money is stable.
The steward also stood up, took out the red sticker from his sleeve, and handed it over with both hands: "This is the gift list. Please take a look at it, Mr. Fang."
Fang Xiucai took it and opened it. Inside was a standard adoption gift, including silk, goose, wine, tea cakes, etc., so he nodded.
The steward took out another red sticker from another sleeve and handed it over: "Because Protector Wu still has many important matters in the capital, everything is kept simple, but the proper etiquette must be followed. These are the birth dates of the two people, and the local Household registration and clan records. The two geese are outside in the yard, and their horoscopes have been approved. Please take a look at them."
Fang Xiucai was stunned. Now he had to deal with both the question and Najib? Even the wild geese that should be sent have been arranged.
As soon as he got it and looked at it, the steward bowed and said: "Because there is no one in Protector Wu's family, the Lord of Xining County has stayed in the capital according to the emperor's decree and cannot come over for the time being. We can only ask Mr. Fang to call the clan leader or Li Zheng, and the husband's family will have to give a big ceremony." .”
Fang Xiucai couldn't close his mouth now. Who could have given away more than half of the Three Books and Six Etiquettes in one day?
The door of Fang's house opened, and a large group of villagers surrounded the door.
After Uncle Fang came out, his brows changed and his expression was not good. He shouted happily: "Hurry up and invite Mr. Li Zheng and the Fang family elders, there is going to be a happy event in my family!"
The village is not that big, so seven or eight old people came and filled the not-so-large living room. They even borrowed two chairs from a neighbor's house.
Opening the gift list, the "gift of three hundred taels" immediately blinded a few people. The gifts here are usually ten taels and twenty taels. Even for a scholar's daughter, fifty taels is enough. I didn't expect the visitor to be so generous and give a gift to a small official.
Fang Xiucai himself didn't know there would be so many, and he was quite surprised. His eyes widened, thinking he was dazzled: "This..."
Wu Jue thought that Fang Xiucai thought he was insincere, so he quickly explained: "I am in a hurry, so instead of buying another gift, I might as well just count it as money. There is also a small house in the capital that I am looking at, and the title deed will be handed over to Miss Fang." .”
After speaking, he took out the banknotes from his arms and handed a bunch of banknotes to the steward, asking the steward to take them.
Not to mention other people, even Matchmaker Zhang's face was distorted with envy. What kind of luck did this Fang family have?
