Gu Xian was so frightened, and she had nightmares for several days in a row, she couldn't stay up and fell ill. She fell ill, and there was no one to take care of the housework. Also because of her illness, this year has not been good.

Brother Guan took the medicine and gave it to her, and when he saw that she didn't take it, he persuaded her: "Grandmother, you take the medicine well, this disease will be cured if you take the medicine!" ”

Gu Xian waved her hand and said weakly: "Let it go, I'll drink it later!" Don't be busy here, go and read books! ”

Brother Guan wanted to stay, but unfortunately Gu Xian didn't let him, and finally reluctantly returned to his yard.

Looking at the medicine, Gu Xian said to Tan Xing uncomfortably: "I remember that when I was sick in Taifeng County, Qingshu took a spoon and fed me. ”

Tan Xing was a little helpless, and now her master had to say to the eldest girl one hundred and eighty times a day: "Mrs., the eldest girl is so filial, you should take care of your body as soon as possible." She's pregnant now, and she doesn't know how to worry if she knows you're sick! ”

Hearing this, Gu Xian's eyes darkened, and she said, "She doesn't care about me now, so how can she worry about me." She wouldn't shed a single tear if she knew I was dead. ”

Tan Xing said: "Madam, the eldest girl's attitude is so cold because you have done something wrong before. You take care of your body and go to the capital to apologize to her, and she will forgive you. ”

"Really?"

Tan Xing said with certainty: "Naturally, it's true." Madam, after all, the eldest girl was born to you, and blood is thicker than water, and she won't really hate you. ”

Hate is not possible, but it is impossible to go back to the past. However, in order to make Gu Xian happy, Tan Xing could only pick it up and say it.

At dinner that night, Shen Zhan complained to Shen Shaozhou that his cotton robe had been scratched two days ago, but the embroidery girl had not made the new cotton clothes so far.

Shen Shaozhou was the most impatient to deal with these trivial matters, and when he heard him complain, he said to the two brothers: "It's really not decent to have no woman in the family, I'll invite a matchmaker tomorrow and let her say goodbye to you." ”

Shen Tao hurriedly said: "Dad, you ask the matchmaker to say goodbye to Ah Zhan, I don't want to marry for the time being." ”

When Shen Zhan heard this, he immediately said his request: "Dad, I want to marry someone who is knowledgeable and reasonable, and I don't want an ugly person who has never studied." ”

Shen Shaozhou didn't pay attention to him, but just said to Shen Tao: "If you don't marry, who will take care of the chores for you?" Could it be that you still count on your mother? She's so old and still has to work for you, and you're too embarrassed to speak. ”

Shen Tao said: "It's not that Ah Zhan is going to marry a wife soon, and let his daughter-in-law take care of the house when the time comes." ”

Shen Shaozhou said lightly: "Don't think about this, I'll separate him when he gets married." So, you still have to get married. ”

Shen Zhan exploded when he heard this, and said loudly: "Dad, I don't want to divide it." Dad, I will provide for you and your mother in the future. ”

Shen Shaozhou glanced at him coldly and said, "Counting on you to provide for us, I still have to worry that you will bury me and your mother alive at that time." Also, don't tell me any bullshit about being well-looking and knowledgeable, as long as the girl has a good character, I will settle it. If you don't like it, I won't force it, and I will kick you out when your brother gets married, and I won't care if you want to marry or be someone else's son-in-law in the future. ”

The last kidnapping made Shen Shaozhou completely disappointed in him, even if he was incompetent and cowardly, he was still wolf-hearted. So I want to marry him a powerful daughter-in-law, and then divide it out. Whether he will live well in the future depends on his own creation, and Shen Shaozhou is not ready to care anymore.

Shen Zhan didn't look like he was joking, so how could he dare to refute it.

Shen Shaozhou is a person who does what he says, and on the second day, he recruited the matchmaker with the best reputation in Pingzhou to come over. Then he told the matchmaker what he wanted. Shen Tao's wife must have an innocent and gentle family background, be virtuous and be able to manage the director. As for Shen Zhan's wife, she has to be spicy.

The matchmaker was stunned: "Spicy? ”

Shen Shaozhou said: "It's not the kind of faceless and skinless person who has no character and misconduct, but someone who can control her husband." My second son is a little weak, so I want to marry him a more powerful daughter-in-law. ”

The matchmaker understood what he meant, that is, she wanted to find a daughter-in-law for her youngest son who could cure Shen Zhan. She immediately thought of someone: "I really have a candidate, the daughter of the blacksmith Liao in Beicheng." He is eighteen years old this year, and his temperament is very spicy. And because he has been energetic since he was a child, one person can knock down two adult men, so he hasn't said anything about people yet. ”

"How's the character?"

The matchmaker said happily: "I didn't say anything about the character of the girl of the Liao family, otherwise I wouldn't have opened this mouth with you, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to inquire." ”

"How's it looking?"

Shen Zhan likes to be beautiful, and if he marries an ugly couple, it won't be good. So if it doesn't grow well, you can't ask for it.

The matchmaker smiled and said, "That girl is outstanding, and she is a flower in their alley." ”

Shen Shaozhou asked with some doubts: "That girl is good-looking and has a good temperament, and she shouldn't worry about getting married, why haven't you said anything about it until now?" ”

The matchmaker didn't hide it from him, and said, "Miss Liao made a marriage four years ago. It's just that Miss Liao's brother had an accident and quit his family. ”

She then also said the reason: "Miss Liao's brother entered the yamen as an errand because of his good skills, but he died in an accident chasing a fugitive two years ago. He remarried as soon as his daughter-in-law passed seventy-seven, leaving no son and half a daughter. Because of this change, Miss Liao proposed to the man that she would inherit the incense of the Liao family in the future by a step-son under his brother's name. The man's parents didn't agree, so Miss Liao withdrew. ”

Shen Shaozhou felt that this girl was good and filial. However, Huo Pearl also has filial piety, but her filial piety is completely in her mother's family.

"What else is there to ask for?"

Seeing that he didn't refuse, the matchmaker said: "Blacksmith Liao is such a girl, and she will definitely be retired in the future." Other than that, there are no other conditions. ”

Of course, it is impossible for the Liao family to have no other conditions. It's just that Shen Zhan meets their requirements, so the matchmaker didn't say anything.

"How is this girl doing on weekdays?"

The matchmaker smiled and said: "Miss Liao has a cool temperament, treats people warmly, and is also generous, and the neighbors like her very much." ”

Shen Shaozhou naturally couldn't listen to the matchmaker's one-sided words, he nodded and said: "Then you go to Liao's house first to ask what they mean, and in addition, my eldest man will also ask you to bother more." ”

Just in case, he still wants to send someone to inquire about the details of this Liao girl, and if he confirms that his good conduct is reasonable, then he will settle it. Strive to get married in these two months, and then divide Shen Zhan.

The matchmaker smiled and said, "Master Shen, don't worry, the family affairs of the two masters are wrapped up in me." ”

This old man Shen was generous, and these two relatives said that they could have a lot of money.
