Chapter 64: You've Grown Taller
Although the Great Zhou Dynasty was not as repressive as the previous dynasty, the impression of merchants as a man who valued profit over righteousness was still deep-rooted, and the order of respect and inferiority of Shinong and industry and commerce was still there.
Qin Zhengpu was confused, and always felt that something was wrong. Qin Zhengtian stood up and said, "I see that everyone is almost drunk, let's get here today, right?" ”
"It's fine." Zhao Shuyan nodded. Seeing this, Li Zheng also stood up in a daze and walked out.
Qin Zhengtian and Zhao Shuyan raised their hands to help, and Li Zhengle waved away, "I didn't drink too much, Zhengtian carried your father back, he drank too much." ”
Qin and Xiao Nuan were at the door, and watched Qin Zhengtian and Li walk out with Qin Sanhao on their feet, Qin Zhengtian followed behind while walking, which was very funny.
Xiao Nuan grimaced at his back, but turned around and saw Zhao Shuyan standing beside him, smiling crookedly.
"Thank you, Brother Zhao, for coming over today to help us out." Xiao Nuan is really grateful, if Uncle Qin told his mother when he was sober, he would definitely have another noisy meal, and he couldn't let Rhubarb go up and pull his pants again and again.
Zhao Shuyan didn't mention this stubble, just looked at Xiao Nuan and smiled gently, "Sister Xiao Nuan seems to have grown taller." ”
Xu was drinking, and Zhao Shuyan's voice sounded a little more casual and intimate than usual. Xiao Nuan raised her hand to press her head, "Is there one?" My shoes haven't gotten smaller, my clothes haven't gotten shorter, I guess they're not getting any longer. ”
When Zhao Shuyan saw her like this, he smiled warmly.
"Silly girl, your clothes and shoes are all newly made, how can you be so small so quickly." Qin scolded with a smile, took the teapot and put it on the small table under the plane tree, "Young Master Zhao drink some sobering tea before leaving?" ”
Zhao Shuyan said with a smile, "It's okay for my aunt to call me Shuyan in the future, otherwise Uncle Qin will talk about messing with the generations again." ”
The Qin family blushed for his eldest brother who was unreliable in speaking and doing things, "Xiao Nuan, her eldest uncle is not as good as her second uncle, and if you drink a few cups, you will talk nonsense, don't take it to heart." ”
Xiao Nuan wanted to go to the classic lyrics of "his eldest uncle and his second uncle are his uncles", and laughed sullenly.
"Thank you, ma'am, for not getting drunk." There is no man in this courtyard, and it will hinder the reputation of the Qin family's mother and daughter if he stays any longer, Zhao Shuyan beckoned Xiao Nuan, who was smiling for some reason, "Xiao Nuan, foolish brother will say a few words to you." ”
Xiao Nuan sent Zhao Shuyan out, and listened to him preach, "The guys and miscellaneous servants to be used in the tea house are all suitable from outside, not from the village, what does my sister think?" ”
"Totally agree!" Xiao Nuan agreed very much, "If the guy who serves tea and pours water and cleans the guest room is really looking for it from the village, it will be a trouble to do it well or not." ”
Zhao Shuyan saw that Xiao Nuan coincided with him again, and felt comfortable in his heart, "This matter will be handled by Zhao San, you and I don't have to ask in person." ”
Naturally, you don't have to do the things that can be handed over to your subordinates, Xiao Nuan understood what Zhao Shuyan meant, "Third Uncle Zhao will be the shopkeeper of our tea house in the future, right?" ”
Zhao Shuyan smiled approvingly, "What do you think?" ”
Xiao Nuan held his small chin with his thumb and posed as an old pedant, and asked in the tone of Zhao Shuyan before asking Uncle Qin, "Can he read through the Four Books and Five Classics, and is good at writing poems?" ”
Zhao Shuyan laughed and helped Xiao Nuan on the head, "My sister is really a clever ghost, no wonder my aunt and grandmother like you too." ”
When she mentioned Mrs. Zhao, Xiao Nuan had a bitter face, and said in her heart that she was not rare herself. The last time I went to Zhanjia, Xiao Nuan not only didn't negotiate a business, but also lost three hundred taels of silver tickets in vain - Mrs. Zhao left the three silver tickets printed with her own handprints!
Xiao Nuan just said politely to her, she really stayed!
Xiao Nuan leaned against the door and sighed for a while, turned around and went home to help her mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks. The well-fed grass went back to the house and slept soundly on the kang, and the rhubarb lay in its own nest without making any sound, only the knowledge on the tree kept screaming, noisy but peaceful.
The Qin family chatted with his daughter while washing the dishes, "I didn't expect your uncle to really have the idea of marrying the Zhao family." He didn't want to think about how the Zhao family could agree to accept this family! Young Master Zhao is the eldest son of the Zhao family, can he marry a daughter from a small family and who can't read big characters to go back to be a daughter-in-law? ”
Xiao Nuan also felt strange, this point can be understood by a person, why can't Qin Zhengpu and his family understand it, how do they think Qin Daniel can be worthy of Zhao Shuyan?
"According to my mother, let alone being a daughter-in-law, I just gave Da Nier to Young Master Zhao as a concubine, and the Zhao family may not be willing. Haven't you seen so many days that Daniel is hiding behind the big tree outside the tea house, and Young Master Zhao doesn't even look at her? It's clear that Young Master Zhao doesn't have this person in his eyes at all! ”
I didn't expect my mother to talk about gossip, and she was also the first to gossip. Xiao Nuan smiled, "Today, Da Nier didn't hide behind the tree, she ran to the front of the tree to embroider." ”
Qin didn't smile, handed the bowl to his daughter, and said seriously, "Mother sees that Young Master Zhao treats you well, and you will be kind at all times." ”
"Who doesn't he smile at, have you forgotten his nickname 'Smiling Tiger'?" Xiao Nuan turned her head and saw her mother's serious face, and she couldn't laugh, "Mother, how old am I, how old is Brother Zhao!" Don't mess around. ”
"You are two years older than Da Nier, and Young Master Zhao is only seven years older than you, so it's not too bad." Qin sighed, "The most important thing to pick up relatives is to be the right person, my mother has no ability, and you don't have a younger brother to support you-"
Xiao Nuan immediately stopped, "Mother, where did you say this, I didn't mean that, and Brother Zhao didn't." ”
I don't have a stupid girl, Qin Shixin. But judging from Zhao Shuyan's actions today, to say that he doesn't have a good impression of Xiao Nuan, the Qin family doesn't believe it. However, Zhao Shuyan is well-informed, and the Qin family is not worried that he will do anything to damage his daughter's reputation.
"Whether there is or not, my mother has to explain the reason to you clearly. The mother still said just now: Marriage, the door is the key. Only when the door is right, the two will not look down on each other, eat, drink and play the same, and the words can be said together. When a woman gets married, what she is most afraid of is believing in a man's mouth and thinking that he will treat you well and do anything. A man's mouth is the most unreliable, you don't have a mother's backer, and when he lives too long and gets tired of you, you are nothing. ”
Xiao Nuan listened quietly, and felt that what her mother said was very reasonable, with the same growth environment, she had similar living habits and values, so that it was not easy for husband and wife to have conflicts.
The Qin family said that he was uncomfortable, "Even if Young Master Zhao really likes you now, he doesn't agree to marry you." The Zhao family has a big business, and there must be dozens of mothers-in-law, aunts, sisters-in-law, and sisters-in-law in the backyard. Young Master Zhao won't do everything to you, how are you going to live this day? Do you really want to point to your belly and give birth to a son to support you? But how can a son be born if he wants to? ”
