Chapter 193 Marriage Proposal Is Mentioning Your Home (1)
At this time, Aunt Zhu had seen Mrs. Xu come in, and she was also curious, and saw that Mama Zhang had already said, "Little sister-in-law of the Zhao family, this is the old lady of our Houfu, what you said What is it called! Where did the matchmaker come from, when have you ever seen a matchmaker dressed like this?"

At this moment, Yuan Shi was so surprised that he had nothing to say, and he just said: "I just asked because I haven't seen it..."

Fortunately, Yuan Shi and Zhang's mother have gotten acquainted with each other for a while now, seeing Zhang's mother personally supporting Mrs. Xu, she guessed that what she said must be true.At this time, Yuan Shi became ashamed, and quietly stepped forward, took Mama Zhang's hand and pulled her to the base of the wall and asked, "Mama Zhang, what are you doing here today with a real Buddha here? Look at this small temple in my house." ..."

Before Yuan's words were finished, Zhang's mother just patted her on the back of her hand and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, our old lady has always been a person who cherishes the old and the poor, and will not dislike your family, otherwise she would not personally Come here, let me tell you the truth, my Lord Marquis went on an expedition, and before he left, he had already handed over the family affairs to Miss Jing. The old lady came here today just to settle this matter, and not to let your sister Those who have no name and no role are doing business for our Hou Mansion, you, don't worry, go and call your master back, let's discuss it carefully."

After Yuan Shi heard this, she became anxious. She took Zhang's mother's hand and said, "What? How could Master Hou put our sister away like this?"

Mother Zhang couldn't help laughing when she heard this market slang. Fortunately, Aunt Zhu who was at the side had already stepped forward to greet Mrs. Xu, so he had time to say a few more words to Yuan Shi: "Little sister-in-law, Lord Hou and your family My sister is in love with each other, why do you say that, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Miss Jing, this is what she agreed in front of the whole family of the Hou Mansion."

Yuan Shi nodded suspiciously, went to the door, closed the courtyard door, and shouted into the courtyard of Lin's family: "Big girl, go to Piaoxiang Tower and call your father back, and say that there are guests at home, let him Come back quickly!"

Zhao Da Niu was kicking shuttlecock with the little maids in the courtyard next door. After hearing this, she responded through the wall and went out with a few girls. They saw a carriage parked by the roadside at the entrance of the alley, and they were curious. Ask Miss Zhao: "Big girl, who is here to propose marriage to your little sister? My mother also said that the girl is too old to get married. It seems to be a lie. Your little sister just came back and there are not many of you." Month, many people have proposed marriage to her!"

Yuan closed the courtyard door, invited Mrs. Xu and Aunt Zhu to sit down in the living room, went to the kitchen to make tea, brought some snacks, and dried fruits to entertain them. After busying for a while, she wiped her hands and went to the kitchen again. Come over to the living room.

Mother Zhang beckoned her to sit down and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be too busy, just sit down."

Mrs. Yuan didn't have the nerve to sit, so she moved an embroidered pier from the outside, put half of her buttocks slightly, and regarded it as sitting. Seeing that Mrs. Xu and Aunt Zhu just sat and didn't drink tea or eat, they laughed. He said: "Try it, old lady. These are my homemade cat ears. The children like them. They are crunchy."

Although Mrs. Xu has a bad tooth, she likes Yuan Shi's straightforward temperament, so she took a piece of cat's ear and bit it, but she didn't move after biting it down. a tight.Mrs. Xu herself became embarrassed and embarrassed, she changed her teeth on one side, and clicked hard again, finally biting it this time.

"It's really crunchy." The old lady said with a smile, and started to eat the hot tea, which made Zhang's mother and Yuan's feel relieved.

Piaoxiang Tower is not far from Gulou Street, Zhao Yong came back soon after hearing that there were guests at home.Yuan Shi heard the voice calling for the door outside and went out to meet her. She opened the door and pulled Zhao Yong in, but she didn't let him in right away, she just pulled him to stand by the door and said, "Someone proposed marriage to our sister again."

Zhao Yong just came back and saw the carriage at the door. Just by looking at the style of the carriage, he knew it was not an ordinary family. He accepted it in his heart and asked Yuan Shi: "Which family is this? Could it be that you miss us again? Is the girl going to be a concubine?"

Yuan Shi stopped him from speaking, lowered her voice and said in a low voice: "It's still the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, this time it's not a concubine, the old lady from their mansion came over and said that she wanted to let the younger sister become the Marquis's wife..."

"Mrs. Hou?" Even Zhao Yong was stunned this time, and kept asking Yuan Shi: "Are you sure it's Mrs. Hou, not a liar? Don't come here to sell dog meat?"

Yuan Shi gave Zhao Yong an angry look, twisted her neck and said, "You underestimate me too. If I hadn't hired someone to be Mrs. Hou, I would have let them in. Now I'm waiting for you, the head of the family, to reply, you... You go in quickly!"

After hearing this, Zhao Yong felt that it was a bit reliable. He patted his chest and wanted to go inside, then turned his head to Yuan Shi as if taking a breather, and said, "What did you just say? The old lady from their house is here? Isn't that the Lord Hou's old lady? Is that the old Feng Jun?"
