Chapter 11 Asking About Marriage

"Father, are you looking for me?" Zhou Wenqian went in to see Master Zhou.

"Who is looking for you? You bastard, you haven't been seen all day, what have you been doing?" Master Zhou scolded, "Why did I give birth to a son like you? I have such a business acumen, how did I come to you? I don't know anything about it"

"Father, I'm going out."

Master Zhou kept reprimanding Zhou Wenqian for being ignorant. Zhou Wenqian got tired of hearing it, and ran out on the pretext of having something to do. Master Zhou followed after a few steps and then stopped and cursed, "Stinky boy, stop, I will It's not over yet."

Zhou Wenqian ran faster and ran away almost instantly.

"Cai Qi, follow him, don't let him get into trouble!" Master Zhou looked at Cai Qi who was stunned aside.

When Cai Qi heard the shout and saw Master Zhou, he quickly got up and bowed awkwardly, "Master!"

"Aren't you going to follow?" Master Zhou was stern, and Cai Qi became nervous, only to realize that Zhou Wenqian had run away. He took a step forward. There were three roads in front of him, branching in different places. He unconsciously touched the road. He rubbed his head and muttered, "I don't know where the young master went!"

He subconsciously turned his head to meet Master Zhou's slightly angry gaze, and immediately bent over anxiously and nodded back, "Master, Cai Qi will go find the young master right away, and he must not be allowed to do bad things!"

Before he got Master Zhou's answer, he turned around and ran away in a hurry, still shouting anxiously, "Master!"

Zhou Wenqian ran to a secluded place and stopped, he could feel his heartbeat, touched his face, it was so hot that his heart was beating violently, he muttered to himself, hell, why is this heart beating so fast?
He beat his heart, took a deep breath, coughed a few times, exhaled a few times, walked a few steps with his right hand on the wall and found that he accidentally bumped into the courtyard where Lin Jingtang was, and stopped quickly.

We're all here, shouldn't we go in and say hello to Mrs. Lin?I just met yesterday, and I always feel a bit malicious when I meet again today.After all, she is also an elder. She has watched her grow up since she was a child, and she is very kind to herself!If Mrs. Lin is not here, it is obviously not good to rush in like this!
Zhou Wenqian hesitated for a while when he looked up, he saw his mother Mrs. Zhou with a maid coming out of the front corner. Without thinking, he jumped onto the wall, jumped into the yard, and looked around. No one was there, so he secretly called out. Thinking of his mother coming to find Mrs. Lin, he always felt that something big was about to happen, so he looked at Gu Fei and ran to hide.

Mrs. Zhou was very preoccupied, she obviously didn't notice Zhou Wenqian, she sighed and walked into the courtyard, and walked through the long corridor to the main courtyard.

The maids of the Lin family were tidying up the courtyard. They saw Mrs. Zhou quickly stop what she was doing and saluted politely, "Hello Mrs. Zhou!"

Mrs. Zhou politely called them to get up, and as soon as she raised her head, Mrs. Lin heard a voice to greet them.

"Sister Fangzhu, it's getting late at night, why don't you take a good rest?!" Mrs. Lin hurried over and grabbed Mrs. Zhou's hand, very happy.

"I have something on my mind. There are so many people during the day, so it's not convenient for me to say it!" Mrs. Zhou grabbed Mrs. Lin's hand, looked around, and asked cautiously, "Brother Lin is here?"

If Lin Jingtang is here, Mrs. Zhou will go back and come back another day, or she will send someone to call Mr. Zhou over. She will catch up with Mrs. Lin, and Mr. Zhou will chat with Lin Jingtang.

"Husband is busy greeting guests, drinking and talking all day long, he hasn't rested here for a few days!" Mrs. Lin replied, she felt sorry for Lin Jingtang who had too little rest and drank too much alcohol, after all, it was not good for his health , She has sent people to tell her three sons many times, asking them to help Lin Jingtang stop drinking more.

"The old man's [-]th birthday, everyone is happy, brother Lin really worked hard!" Mrs. Zhou has no experience but feels the same way. Although the Zhou family is a rich family, but the family background is simple, and it never needs to arrange large parties. Compared with the Lin family, it is naturally much easier up.

"I'll get used to it after doing festive things a few times!" Mrs. Lin said cheerfully, took Mrs. Zhou's hand and walked to the reception room, and said, "Look at me, I just let you stay outside wait."

"It's okay, why should we talk about politeness between us!" Mrs. Zhou blamed Mrs. Lin for being polite.

After the two entered the room, they screened the maidservant away. The two held hands and sat down at the table in front of the window. Zhou Wenqian happened to be curled up by the window. They would not see his existence unless they looked down.

Mrs. Zhou looked at her tightly clasped hands with Mrs. Lin, and looked up to see Mrs. Lin's shining eyes. The words were about to come out of her mouth a few times, but she swallowed them back.

"Sister Fangzhu, do you still want to be polite between us?" Mrs. Lin was angry.

"Su Ping, I have always wanted to ask you a question, but..." Mrs. Zhou hesitated to let go of Mrs. Lin's hand, stood up and stood in front of the window, a little embarrassed.

Zhou Wenqian hurriedly lowered his body, his head touched the ground, his body curled up, full of blue balls.

Mrs. Lin also stood up, stood next to Mrs. Zhou, and held Mrs. Zhou's hand again, "Sister Fangzhu, no matter what difficult questions you have, I will answer them truthfully."

Mrs. Zhou turned her head to look at Mrs. Lin, remembering Mrs. Gao's expression of being choked by Mrs. Lin that day, she couldn't grasp Mrs. Lin's mind, she sighed and walked back a few steps, and when she stopped, she lowered her head slightly.

What is the problem that makes mother so embarrassed?Zhou Wenqian held his breath and raised his head slightly. He climbed the window sill and put his eyes on the window sill. The two ladies turned their backs to him. He could tell that Mrs. Zhou was struggling and Mrs. Lin was anxious.

"Sister Fangzhu, you are terrified of me, what are you talking about!" Mrs. Lin stepped forward, and Zhou Wenqian hurriedly lowered his head and returned to the curled up look just now.

"Suping, I, I'll just ask." Mrs. Zhou looked back at Mrs. Lin, her tangled expression was too rich, Mrs. Lin encouraged her to continue with her eyes, she pursed her lips, and said as if she was going all out, "I Just ask, do you intend to assign Qinglu to one of the three brothers of the Lin family, as outsiders said, or..." Mrs. Zhou stopped her in time, glanced at Mrs. Lin quickly, and murmured arbitrarily, "Let's make a kiss and add a kiss ?”

After Madam Zhou finished speaking, she felt that an outsider shouldn't ask such a question, so she apologized and stopped.

Mrs. Lin's opened eyes eased, she sat down and said calmly, "To tell the truth, Sister Fangzhu, since Qinglu was 13 years old, the door of Lin's family was trampled down by a matchmaker. She is 17 years old this year, and she is not yet married. , outsiders are curious whether our Lin family will betroth her to one of the three brothers of the Lin family, or to make her a little girl for the husband."

is this real?Mrs. Zhou was eager to know the answer, but she felt it was inappropriate, so she didn't say it. She quickly sat over and looked at Mrs. Lin, hoping to get a positive answer from Mrs. Lin's eyes.

"Sister Fangzhu, outsiders are following you in confusion, so why are you?" Mrs. Lin spread her hands, "Qinglu entered the genealogy by visiting the Lin family ancestral hall, and she named Lin Zhi, the youngest daughter of the Lin family, in the Lin family tree." Jing', if any one of the three brothers wants to marry her, my husband and I will not agree, she is the sister of a direct relative!"

Mrs. Lin stopped talking about it. A few days ago, Mrs. Gao said whether the Lin family had assigned Tang Qinglu to Lin Jingtang as a child. Although it was absurd, many people were spreading it.

Mrs. Zhou calmed down. She stroked her hair to cover up the embarrassment just now, took Mrs. Lin's hand and said gently, "Suping, ask this child Qian, you watched him grow up, he loves to play, Everything else is good." Madam Zhou intends to marry Zhou Wenqian.

"You want Qinglu to marry him?" Mrs. Lin is so smart, she can understand it immediately.

"Yes," Mrs. Lin nodded, "Do you think this is appropriate?"

"I have to talk to my husband about this matter." Mrs. Lin thought about it carefully. The Zhou family is a family with a simple background. The master said, and Master Lin agreed, and the two families can go through the procedure.

It turns out that my mother married me for myself!Zhou Wenqian understood the intention of Mrs. Lin's late-night visit.

Tang Qinglu, could she really be his wife?He was a little looking forward to it.

He was just about to leave when Madam Lin's words stopped him, "Sister Fangzhu, according to your family's situation, there should be many girls willing to marry Wenqian."

Other people's children are married at the age of 15, and when they grow up, their parents have never mentioned the matter of marrying themselves. Why?Zhou Wenqian curled up again.

"We have asked a lot of families over the years." Mrs. Zhou said hesitantly, "Although our family is a big family, but the ten generations are single-handed, and the population is thin. Other families are not willing to get married because they can't prosper their families. , We also made a lot of remedies, and even planned to contribute money to help them, they said that the daughter's marriage is to strengthen the family, and our family cannot help."

It turned out that Ding Buwang disliked his family!Zhou Wenqian fantasized about it.

"Sister Fangzhu, this matter is not guaranteed. It doesn't matter whether the family is prosperous or not. It can always be prosperous from generation to generation. If the husband agrees, and Qinglu is also willing, we will be in-laws." Madam Lin comforted.

"Su Ping, you need a lot of help."

"no problem."
