Chapter 122 Unknowingly looking at each other

Liao asked curiously,

"What kind of marriage is his uncle looking for?"

Even if you are a servant in the yamen, our family background is not bad, why don't you even look at each other, who are you looking down on?

Thinking of this, I feel dissatisfied, and there is inevitably a little sarcasm in my tone,

"His great uncle won't think about coming to a list to catch his son-in-law after the Spring Festival this year?"

The son-in-law on this list is a rich family who chooses the promising unmarried son for his daughter. We ordinary people are not so lucky. Those who can enter the spring are old men, who have fame. I can fall in love with you, the daughter of a little master!

Xiang Shi just smiled wryly and didn't make a sound, she really didn't know what Jia Jincheng was planning, Liao Shi still refused to give up, thought for a while and smiled,
"Auntie, I really want to talk about this marriage, it's not as good as ours..."

She paused, and saw that Xiang Shi leaned over when she heard the words, and she was a little moved by explaining it like this. At the moment, she just felt that there should be something to do with this matter, so she continued,
"Why don't I bring my distant nephew to the inner city every two days, and you find a way to call your Silian out...

Isn't this just seeing each other?

Xiang Shi hurriedly shook his head,
"I don't dare to secretly bring that girl out. If his father finds out, I don't know how we will make a fuss!"

Liao smiled and said,

"Auntie, you are too honest. If you don't tell me, I won't tell you. How would Silian know that they are seeing each other? Let's find an opportunity for them to meet. Maybe Silian herself has taken a fancy to him. If you don't talk about his father Do you feel sorry for this girl, as long as the girl is willing, you can push it aside, won't it be done?"

"This……"

Xiang Shi was a little moved,

"This... can it be done?"

"It can be done! It can be done!"

Mrs. Liao hastened to work harder and said,

"Silian in your family is different from the woman next to her. She has seen the world on the street every day, and it's not that a lady can't see outside men. You find an excuse to send her out. It's really not me boasting, my distant room My nephew is a really good-looking person, you Silian might fall in love with him at a glance, when we come out to talk about it, as long as your mother and daughter nod, are you afraid that his eldest uncle will not nod?"

After thinking about it, Xiang felt that this method is very feasible, he gritted his teeth and nodded after a while, saying,
"to make!"

Liao was overjoyed and asked her,

"Where is your home in the inner city..."

Xiang Shi told her, and the two of them decided how to let the two juniors meet and how to let the two of them be alone, so and so, and so and so, after talking for a long time, seeing that it was getting late, Xiang Shi hurried back , the two of them broke up.

So Jia Silian didn't notice her mother's plan at all, the days went by, the sisters still sold noodles as usual on this day, after lunch, Xiang Shi went out, and came back not long after and told Silian,
"Silian, there are customers in the Xiangyuan tea house ahead who want to eat noodles, you send two bowls over..."

Now that Jia’s noodle stall has built a reputation, people often call for noodles in the Gujing Hutong outside. Silian no doubt has him, so she answered, cooked two bowls of noodles, put them on a tray, and rushed to the Xiangyuan tea. Fang went.

When she got there, the shop clerk recognized her and pointed to the second staircase,

"The third room upstairs..."

Jia Silian nodded, holding the tray firmly with both hands, she kept on stepping, and the noodle soup went up to the second floor without any dispersal, to the outside of the third tea room,

"Guest officer, your face is here!"

The people inside immediately responded,

"come in!"

Jia Silian pushed the door open and went in, but saw a person sitting in the tea room, it was a young man dressed as a scholar, this young man was gentle and handsome, with white skin and red lips, but he had a good appearance, he only looked at people when they were young. His eyes were used to squinting slightly, and he immediately showed that Xiangfen had bad intentions. When the young man saw her coming in, he pointed in front of him with his slender fingers,

"Put it here!"

Jia Silian went over and put the noodles on the table as she said, and said,
"Guest officer, after you finish eating the noodles, just leave the bowl here, I will pick it up later..."

The young man nodded, seeing Jia Silian standing up straight, squinting his eyes again, looking her up and down for a while, the scrutiny hidden in his eyes made Jia Silian feel inexplicably uneasy, so he didn't want to stay here any longer, and said,

"Thank you, guest officer, Chenghui accepts ten copper coins from you..."

The young man nodded, pointed to the seat in front of him and said,
"Don't worry, you... sit down..."

Jia Silian was taken aback, and looked at the half-open door, it was really not good for the lonely man and widow to share the same room, she shook her head immediately,
"Guest officer, the shop is busy, I'm afraid I don't have time to stay here..."

The young man smiled at her, he had a good appearance, and when he smiled, his lips were red and his teeth were white, which was very eye-catching, but Jia Silian saw the inexplicable coldness on the back of her neck, and instead took a step back, the young man smiled and said,

"You don't have to be afraid, I'm not a bad person..."

As he spoke, he took out a silver coin from his pocket,

"To tell you the truth, girl, I have a problem. Whether it's eating noodles or eating, I can't eat it alone. I need someone to accompany me. You see... I'm alone in this room, why do I need to buy two? As for the bowl of noodles, I just want to find someone to eat with me, as long as you are willing to sit down and have a bite of noodles with me, I will give you this ingot..."

Jia Silian shook her head,
"Guest officer, if you want someone to accompany you, you can ask the waiter below..."

Seeing Jia Silian, the young man was still unwilling, and he sternly said,

"My young master asks someone to accompany you, and it depends on the person. Today, this young master thinks you are pleasing to the eye..."

Seeing Jia Silian retreating more and more, she hurriedly said in a slow tone,

"...you go and open the door, as long as there is something to do, someone will come up as soon as you call down, so you won't be afraid..."

After a pause, he said,
"You stay here to watch me finish eating, and take the noodle bowl back, so you don't have to run twice, and it's convenient for you to get money again, isn't it good?"

Jia Silian hesitated,
This is a tea house where people come and go, there are rooms on the left and right, if you really call out, the people next to you can come right away, and he doesn't really dare to commit inappropriate things in public!

Jia Silian finally came over slowly and sat down carefully, the young man said with a smile,

"Thank you!"

There was a bowl of noodles in this room, and I lowered my head to eat, and asked her while eating,

"How long has the girl been selling noodles here, is the business still going well?"

Seeing him chatting leisurely with her, Jia Silian seemed to be eating noodles and chatting with her, and had no other intentions, so she also relaxed, and replied in a low voice,

"I've been doing it for about half a year. Thanks to the care of the customers, the business is pretty good!"

The young man nodded again.
"I eat your noodles differently from other people's, but do you have your own secret recipe?"

Jia Silian replied,
"Our family has some tricks, but it can't be called a secret recipe..."

She saw that although the young man was weird, his words were not disrespectful. They usually have a few words with the diners when they sell noodles outside, and they became more relaxed now. After a long time, the young man ate a bowl and pushed the ingot of silver in front of Jia Silian. Jia Silian quickly tidied up the bowl and chopsticks, and replied,
"This is too much money, I dare not accept it, just give me some money!"

The young man smiled and nodded, but he didn't force it either.

"it is good!"

He counted ten copper coins for her, watched Jia Silian leave with the tray, and took a long time to look away.

After Jia Silian came back, she forgot about the weird guest. She was not very old, but she had been setting up a stall outside for a long time. She had seen many weird customers, but now she met another one.

But she didn't know that after she came back, Xiang Shi went out again, and when she came back, she was all smiles, looking at Jia Silian with strange eyes, Jia Silian was frightened by her,
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Xiang Shi grinned at her,

"You girl... have a good life too!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Si Lian to ask carefully, she twisted her thick waist and turned around to go in. Seeing this, Wu Lian and Liu Lian leaned over to ask,
"What do you mean mother?"

Jia Silian is also confused,
"I do not know either!"

Xiang Shi shouted in the yard at this time,
"Silian, come in, I have something to tell you!"

Jia Silian handed over the stall to her two younger sisters, went in by herself, saw Mrs. Xiang sitting in the main hall,

"Mom, did you call me?"

Xiang Shi nodded,

"You sit..."

Jia Silian sat down, Xiang Shi asked her with a smile,
"I sent you off just now, but have you ever met a very good-looking little man?"

Jia Silian nodded,
"I've seen..."

"Then... how do you look at that young gentleman?"

Jia Silian became more and more confused,
"Mom, he's just a customer who eats noodles. He has nothing to do with me. I don't care what he does..."

The smile on Xiang's face deepened, she reached out and took Si Lian's hand on the table, smiling kindly,
"Silian... Mother said that you are the most blessed among the sisters..."

Jia Silian was stunned,

"Mom... what did you say?"

The smile on Xiang's face made her feel hairy,

"Mom... what are you trying to say?"

Xiang looked at Jia Silian with a smile, just like looking at a pile of copper coins in his money box, the more he looked at it, the more he fell in love with her.
"Mother, let me tell you the truth, the noodle eater is here to see you today..."

"Look at each other?"

"That's right! It looks like... The young gentleman has taken a fancy to you. He is the distant nephew of your cousin's aunt's family. He lives in Tongzhou. You can see that he lives in the countryside. There are hundreds of acres of fertile land. Big rich farmer, if you marry, you will be popular and hot, and there will be a lot of maids and women serving you, ouch... my Silian! You are going to fall into the nest of blessings!"

Jia Silian was stunned, and after turning her head around, she realized what Xiang Shi said. She widened her eyes and said in surprise,
"Mother, how can you carry me behind your back and let people come to see you?"

Xiang smiled and said,

"Why did I carry you behind my back? Didn't I tell you this?"

Jia Silian was angry and annoyed, she shook off Xiang Shi's hand and said,
"Mother, did you tell me? Everyone has seen each other before you tell me!"

Then he said angrily,

"He fell in love with me, but I didn't fall in love with him. I don't agree to this marriage!"
