The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 569 Another Year (1)
"I'm not afraid." He raised his head and said this to Min Lansheng in the study.

"I like Jiaojiao, and I have never concealed my concerns from you and my uncle. I came to propose marriage today, and I was in a hurry, so things didn't go well..."

"Since it's not done well, I will continue to come to propose marriage again, until you and uncle look satisfied and feel that I have done things safely, then you entrust Jiaojiao to me... I can only be grateful to Dade, after all, I can marry someone like Jiaojiao. A sensible woman like Jiao is my luck for the rest of my life!"

"I know why my aunt and uncle are mad at me, so there's nothing to be afraid of... I will definitely be ready when I come to propose again, and I will never make mistakes like today again."

In the study, Min Lansheng, who was holding a book and pretending to be pretending, quietly listened to Chen Guanxi's conversation outside, finally curled her lips indistinctly, and nodded inwardly: This kid... is quite responsible!Jiaojiao promised him, so she should be able to live in Chang'an forever...

"Let's eat." Putting down the book, Min Lansheng said lightly to the outside.

"Then let's have dinner!" the scholar in the room said, and Su Xiazhi answered loudly outside the door, stretched out her hand to pat the little fat man's arm that was supporting her, and muttered softly, "Come to propose marriage the day after tomorrow." , your uncle Hugh will be in the day after tomorrow..."

A day later, Chen Guanxi brought a matchmaker to the door again to ask for marriage.

This time Min Lansheng didn't make it difficult for him anymore, but accepted the Chen family's marriage with a smile on his face.

Because the homes of the two parties are far away, the three rites of "Na Cai, Asking for Names, and Najib" in the "Six Rituals" were completed in one day, leaving only the three rites of "Na Zheng, Asking for a Date, and Greeting in person". The two sides agreed to wait until after Jiaojiao and Ji.

After the engagement etiquette was completed step by step, Jiaojiao and Chen Guanxi officially engaged!

That night, Min Lansheng wrote down the details of the engagement in detail, and wrote a letter to her sister who was far away in Ping County.

Originally thinking it was to make my sister feel at ease, the letter even listed Jiaojiao's dowry when she got married, and it took two full pages to write it down.

The letter was sent, and the Min family received a reply from Min Qinglan less than two months later.

At that time, Su Xiazhi, who had a big belly, was about to give birth, and Min Qinglan complained that she should not have engaged Jiaojiao so early in receiving the letter full of papers, and Su Xiazhi, who was restless before giving birth, wrote it herself without saying a word. replied.

There are only a few big words on a piece of letter paper, which look like they are carved horizontally and vertically: My daughter is engaged, it's none of your business!

Sister-in-law is not easy to mess with, this Min Qinglan knows it well.

Did she just think that Su Xiazhi's temper is still so hot after so many years!
Holding the letter that can be read at a glance, Min Qinglan shed tears after thinking about it... When Mr. Zhao came back from the yamen, he ordered his mother-in-law to whisper into the room secretly: "Mrs. I don't know what to write..."

Every letter from the Min family was written by Min Lansheng, so the mother-in-law thought that this time it must be written by the uncle.

"Oh?" Mr. Zhao waved to the old woman calmly, while striding towards the house.

"Have you received a letter from Lan Sheng?" He asked as soon as he entered the door.

Min Qinglan hurriedly wiped away her tears with her hands and got up, and greeted him: "I'm back early today, I haven't asked them to prepare dinner yet."

"No hurry." Master Zhao rubbed his hands, stopped Min Qinglan and asked in a low voice, "Is everything okay in the capital?" "Nothing." Min Qinglan sighed, and said rather sourly, "He, since With a daughter-in-law, how can there be a sister like me!"

"What you said..." Mr. Zhao has been married to her for several years, so he naturally knows that the lady is not generous: "Lan Sheng and Xia Zhi are a couple. They are living well. You, a sister, should be happy, right? It shouldn't have been said just now."

"Hmph! It shouldn't be... Look, this is the reply letter my sister-in-law wrote to me. Look at what she wrote!"

Hearing her husband also speak for her younger brother and sister-in-law, Min Qinglan felt even more uncomfortable. She took out the letter paper from her sleeve and shook it in front of Mr. Zhao: "Look, this is what she should do. What did you say to my aunt?"

"How do you read the letters between your sisters..." Mr. Zhao stretched out his hand to take the letter paper, but when he heard that the person who wrote the letter was Su Xiazhi, he hurriedly put his hand away and said seriously, "My lady, don't Nonsense!"

"Just a few words..." Min Qinglan angrily unfolded the letter paper and held it up in front of Master Zhao: "Do you think she can say something personal to me..."

It's none of your business that Lao Tzu's daughter is engaged!

About ten characters filled a piece of letter paper to the brim, without even a signature. This kind of letter stunned Mr. Zhao, and then he lowered his head and laughed: "Hehe, these words are all hacks and axes. Like chopping, you really have the temperament of your sister-in-law."

"You're still laughing!" Seeing that he was still laughing after reading the letter, Min Qinglan was even angrier: "Lan Sheng sent a letter saying that she was engaged to Jiaojiao, so I thought, my natal family had a good life, so why bother I sent the child away, so I wrote a letter and said a few words... Look, she wrote me back like this!"

Master Zhao nodded after hearing what the lady said, and helped her to the bed. The husband and wife sat side by side. He thought for a while before he said: "Lan Sheng and Xia Zhi are not people who count money. , These words are too ugly, no wonder people say that to you."

"The feeling is not her own! She is willing to marry my daughter so early, why didn't she make an early engagement with Yiyi..."

"Qinglan!" Mr. Zhao shook his head, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't say anything about the matter between you and Xia Zhi, but you didn't do it properly."

"I didn't do something right?" Min Qinglan turned her body and turned to Master Zhao and said, "Is it okay for me, a mother, to say a few more words?"

"Xia Zhi is Jiaojiao and Lele's mother." Master Zhao looked directly at her and said, "At the beginning, you said you were reluctant to part with your two daughters. How did my husband tell you? Did I tell you to pick up the children? Come back to live?"

"Although my husband is not as capable as Lan Sheng, it is still possible to support your mothers. It was you who said: Jiaojiao and Lele are more promising to follow Lan Sheng Xiazhi than to follow us. I thought about it and thought you There is some truth to what you said. But in the end, I feel that it is safest for children to follow their mothers."
