Chapter 64: You Can't Climb High
"What else do you say about the family of Xiucai, I don't even know the basic etiquette, how can I give a dowry gift directly to the girl!"
Xu Miaojin complained viciously, although she didn't know much about things between men and women, it didn't prevent her from despising Fang Xiucai. Because according to Second Sister Han's introduction, first the Han family couldn't see the Fang family, and then the Fang family didn't look down on the Han family, this was a matter of both parents, and Second Sister Han had no place to be sorry for Fang Xiucai.
But Fang Xiucai followed his parents and despised Second Sister Han together, and said that a wild girl who didn't read was not worthy of entering the door of the Fang family. Not only did she say it, but it was also spread everywhere, making Second Sister Han a joke in the whole village, and she couldn't get married at the age of eighteen.
The second sister said helplessly: "Girl, what's strange about this, it must be my parents, who have nodded and agreed, and want to marry me to the Fang family." The Fang family sent someone over to give the dowry gift, just to force the son to release him! ”
"Release?" Xu Miaojin was puzzled, "Who stopped you?" Be all abroad! ”
The second sister smiled helplessly, "Girl, how do you know what those people are thinking...... Some time ago, a lot of men in the workshop left, and there were a lot of female workers left, and rumors spread outside, and there were all kinds of ugly words, and my father and mother were afraid of holding people! ”
"Ridiculous, ridiculous!"
Xu Miaojin was so angry, she regarded her second sister as half a student, and the students were bullied, and she, the teacher, couldn't turn a blind eye!
"Don't worry, no matter what, I'll take care of it for you, it's just a mere talent, what's the big deal!" Xu Miaojin is really not bragging, she stretches out a finger and can crush ten or eight Xiucai to death!
Second Sister Han got up and was blessed, "The girl cares about me and is grateful." It's just that I can handle this matter myself! ”
Xu Miaojin said angrily: "Don't wronged yourself!" ”
The second sister smiled like a peach blossom, "Girl, never again!" ”
……
Aunt Niu suddenly ran in and said anxiously to the second sister: "Oh no, your father and mother, and the Fang family are here, do you want to hide?" ”
The second sister laughed, "What to hide, they all say that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but now, I don't care about anything, just ask the big guy not to laugh." ”
Aunt Niu stretched out her hand, grabbed the second sister's arm, and said distressedly: "Silly girl, who is laughing at you?" Listen to Auntie's words, straighten your waist, don't be like Auntie, you've been angry for a lifetime! ”
The second sister's eyes were red, and she nodded vigorously.
"I will!"
……
The two sides met, the second sister first saluted her parents, but with a faint frost on her face, looking at her daughter's appearance, the Han family and his wife didn't dare to say much, in fact, they had long been frightened by the style of the white sheep mouth and couldn't open their mouths, if it weren't for this, they would have come over and escort their daughter home to get married.
Fang Xiucai's second uncle was the most astute, and he was the first to break the silence.
"That...... Second girl, huh! This time we came over, just to see each other, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, you and my nephew are childhood sweethearts, growing up together, some time ago, we also found your father and mother, and discussed it......" The second uncle did not continue, but desperately gave the Han family a look.
At this time, Daddy Han finally held back a sentence, "Girl, listen to Dad, get married!" ”
Han Lao Niang also spoke, "Who is not, Fang Xiucai is a good person, famous, young and promising." Just the bride price, two gold bars were given, who has such a big hand? "These two people don't know about being deducted by the matchmaker!
The second sister ignored her father's words, in fact, she had long been dead to her parents and had no hope.
"Fang Jizu, you said that I am a wild girl and am not worthy of entering the door of your Fang family, have you forgotten this?"
Fang Xiucai didn't like a woman talking to him in an arrogant tone, but his parents and elders were there, he opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to speak out!
Uncle Fang hurriedly said, "Miss Han, if my nephew is joking, why take it seriously!" Besides, you're not a wild girl, can this Aries's account room be a wild girl? ”
The second sister finally smiled dumbly, "I understand, dare to love my identity!" Actually...... I'm really learning to read and write these days, and I barely memorized the three-character scripture and the surname of the hundred families, maybe in a few years, I can also talk about poetry, maybe I can also be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, fake, but also a talented girl! ”
"Oops!"
Uncle Fang grinned, "That's better, Miss Han, I can see that you also have thoughts about my nephew, otherwise how could you work hard to study!" You say don't you? ”
Second Uncle Fang, including Fang Xiucai's mother, all nodded and smiled.
Fang Xiucai's father finally squeezed out a smile and said seriously: "In this way, you can enter our door...... It's just that after getting married, you are not allowed to show your face, you have to teach your husband and children at home, and be filial to your in-laws! ”
How rare, even the most stubborn Daddy Fang nodded!
It's just that Uncle Fang and Second Uncle Fang on the side want to strangle their brother-in-law!
If you don't speak, you'll die!
If you don't have the errand of the white sheep, what are you doing with the second sister?
Uncle hurriedly said: "Miss Han, don't get me wrong, you can do whatever you want, we won't care." ”
The second uncle also followed: "Yes, if you feel that there are not enough people, we all drive horses, and some are reliable people!" The second uncle blurted out, and after speaking, he felt too anxious, so he hurriedly smiled: "Miss Han, I mean let's get married as soon as possible, you and my nephew are not too young, don't delay any longer." ”
When Second Sister Han heard this, she already knew everything.
"To say that these days, I have really learned a lot of skills, literacy, arithmetic, bookkeeping, all learned. Moreover, two days ago, Liu Gongzi also said that we are considered to be the management, and we have given ten shares, ten taels of silver per share. According to the current situation of the iron-smelting plant, in a year, I can pay a dividend of thirty or fifty taels, and if I add wages, I am not poor now, nor is I vulgar, right? ”
Uncle Fang and Second Uncle Fang were stupid, what? Not only the bookkeeper, but also the shares?
This girl has reached the sky in one step!
They desperately scolded their sister and brother-in-law, stupid for something, speak quickly!
These two were also shocked, this stinky girl is really developed.
"Wu'er, if you can marry Miss Han, it is not a grievance against you, this family matter is agreed by my father!"
When Dad spoke, Fang Jizu's face turned red, and he held back a sentence: "That...... Let's get married, right? ”
There is always some reluctance to say this...... Originally, he was admitted to Xiucai, so you ignored me, but now you can't afford to climb high!
But not long after the pain, it became him who took the initiative to ask for marriage, which was too embarrassing.
After getting married, where will he put his face?
Besides, the second sister at this moment spoke clearly and generously, especially the difference between her bearing and the past, which made him a little ashamed of himself and didn't dare to look up...... All in all, Fang Jizu is awkward and unwilling, with mixed tastes. Fortunately, he has always listened to his parents, and he doesn't have the courage to say anything.
Isn't it all about marriage that is decided by parents?
At this moment, all eyes fell on the second sister.
She smiled lightly, "Now that I have money, and I'm not cheesy, you can look up to me, right?" ”
The few people on the other side were a little embarrassed, but they couldn't say anything.
The second sister suddenly asked, "Since I have everything, why should I marry you?" ”
"You!" Father Fang was furious, "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, not to mention that my son is still a showman, why don't you agree?" ”
The second sister laughed, "Xiucai? What a majesty! I might as well tell you that under my hands, there are several Shangshu, Zhengzheng, and Pingzhang of the Northern Yuan Dynasty...... Would you like to see it? ”
