peasant girl allure

Chapter 39

When eating, Xiao'er felt strange, the day of engagement was obviously the day after tomorrow, why today's dishes were so rich, as if this meal was an engagement banquet.

During the meal, men and women also divided tables, Shen Chengguang stood up, raised his cup and said: "In the future, Bao'er will be engaged to the second son of the county magistrate's family. According to the family, this marriage is also a high priority for our family."

"What did the elder brother say? Our Jing Wen is the reincarnation of Wen Qu Xing. He won the number one prize and became a high official. It's not certain who will be the best." Shen Chengzong's words were blown to the sky.

But Shen Chengguang loves to listen. His daughter has been carefully cultivated since she was a child, and she has all kinds of talents. If she hadn't grown up in age, he really wanted to wait for Wen'er to pass the exam and find a better marriage, but It's not satisfactory now, Lan's originally asked the matchmaker to find out about the second son of the Li family, but she just ignored them.Fortunately, this one is not bad now. Although he is the second son, he is still a concubine, but he can't stand his mother being favored. Well done.

"Men marry low and women marry high. This has been the case since ancient times. Moreover, our Bao'er is a girl who is full of water and spirit. I have never seen a woman who is more outstanding than Bao'er in these ten miles and eight villages. It's enough to match the appearance of an emperor and grandson." Li Shi is also busy flattering, and the Dafang family will be different in the future. There is an in-law who is a county magistrate, and she can walk sideways in the entire county, so she has to hold her tightly. large room.

"Second aunt, don't talk nonsense. I think Mr. Ma is very good. The emperor and grandson are not just making fun of it." Shen Baoer was not too satisfied with her marriage, but her mother asked someone to help her in the county. Said that the second son of the Li family failed, and she went to the street to buy a little white rabbit once, intending to keep it for play, and when she heard the people next to him say that it was the second son of the county magistrate, she just took a look and thought that this man was quite handsome. , a Pianpian young man, came up with a plan, deliberately hugged the rabbit and passed by him, then let go of the rabbit to break free and jumped out of her arms, and then she used the most graceful movements and expressions she could think of. , the softest and gentlest voice yelled softly: "Ah, little white rabbit, don't run away."

Sure enough, he caught his attention and helped her catch the rabbit. When he returned the rabbit to her, she deliberately thanked him with her most beautiful smile, and then hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to be shy.When he saw his appearance at that time, it took him a long time to come back to his senses. Thinking of this, Shen Baoer couldn't help showing a smug smile.

"I'm telling the truth, my Bao'er, I think anyone's eldest son is worthy."

"It's also because Bao'er is getting older, otherwise she will pick more good ones in the future." Lan also felt that her daughter was like a fairy, and the second son of Peixian Cheng's family felt a little wronged.

"Bao'er is indeed good-looking, good-natured, and talented." Mrs. Liu praised her, but she really thought this niece was good.

"Yes, I also met the second son of the county magistrate once, and I heard that he is also a good man. He is really a man and a woman." Lu Shi also praised.

The second son of the county magistrate's family is a good person, at least he has a good character, not a bad character, but a soft temper. Unfortunately, his body is also good and bad. This is what many people say.

After everyone finished praising, Shen Chengzong continued: "Because the backyard of the shop in the town is really small, I made a special trip back today to treat my brother to an engagement banquet."

As soon as Shen Chengguang's words fell, everyone in the room fell silent. Even Mr. Shen looked at his eldest son in disbelief: Is this because Xiao'er didn't want them to attend on the day of her engagement?

Xiao'er didn't think it was too strange. Dafang's family stayed in the town for a long time, and they forgot that they were also mud-legged. They looked down on them who lived in the village. Even when they came back, they felt uncomfortable.Probably because they were afraid that they would go and lose face.

Facing Mr. Shen's gaze, Shen Chengguang hurriedly laughed: "Father and mother must go there."

"But your brothers..."

"Everyone is a family, so we will definitely understand. It's not that we don't know that the backyard of the shop can't be crowded with so many people at once!"

"When we get married, everyone will go to the restaurant in the town to drink wedding wine." Lan Shi explained in a timely manner, "Now it's just a small engagement."

"You can go back here for engagement, this is home." Li muttered.

Mr. Shen's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Yes, you can go home." Going back to the village to make an appointment, and letting the villagers see his granddaughter marrying the second son of the county magistrate's family, that would be a matter of great pride.

Hearing this, Mrs. Lan lowered her head and calmed down the anger in her heart. Mrs. Li was really trying to drag her back.

"But..." Shen Chengguang still wanted to refuse.

"There's nothing wrong with it, Boss, I know what you're worried about, but since a majestic county magistrate is willing to make an engagement with us, he should know about our family's situation, and if you're willing to come back to make an engagement, he might think you've never forgotten your roots! "

"Father, it's not that we don't want to come back. In fact, the county magistrate sent someone to say that the second son is a little weak and has just recovered, but he must personally deliver the dowry. If it is too lively, the second son may not be able to bear it." Blue Shi thought of an excuse to refuse, and he was secretly happy, but his face was pretending to be distressed.

"That's something that can't be helped, Dad, we're getting married, not enmity. If the second son is unwell because of this, then don't even think about getting married." Shen Chengguang also reacted, with a look of regret.

Hearing this, the old man's face calmed down. He thought that the eldest son didn't want to associate with his brothers in the country after the separation. Officials will also be criticized.

"Since this is the case, let's have an engagement banquet in advance today, and it's fine for me to go with your mother and your little sister on the engagement day.

"There must be a lot of things to be busy on the day of the engagement. I'm afraid my sister-in-law can't do it alone. I'll go to the town to help."

"Don't bother the second sister-in-law. The banquet is set at the restaurant and delivered to the home. The rest is enough to have a mother." Lan really hates Li's lack of wink, don't think she didn't see that she was so willing to help What for!Usually, you can hide as far away as you have any work!

"Father, since I don't have to go to town the day after tomorrow, I want to go out and work for a few days." Shen Chengyao also wanted to go to the neighboring county as soon as possible.

"Well, let's go. Now that I am in charge of my own family, I have to work hard to earn money."

"Father, then I won't ask for leave." Shen Chengzu works in the iron shop, and he has four days off in a month, and he asks for leave in advance if he has something to do.

"You don't need to ask, wait until the day Bao'er gets married."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid of losing face. When they get married, they must find a private room and let them sit alone at the table. .
