One-acre three-point land of the miracle doctor and peasant girl

Chapter 485
Although the war broke out in Long'an City, the local merchants who did not reach Pingyang chose to stay. Seeing the situation, the war would not spread here, so the shop remained the same as before, and the business was not affected.

Today is a bit unusual. Many people came to this street, mostly women. Some women carried baskets with purses and champagne in them, and some had flowers. Their faces were rosy, and they were looking forward to it.

"What day is it today?" Hongxue asked Qingmei, she didn't remember any folk celebrations in Pingyang today.

It's just why there are so many women gathered on this street. Looking at the headgear, most of them are unmarried women.

"Ma'am, today is not a special day." Qingmei tilted her head and thought for a while, then saw a high platform in front of her, her eyes lit up and she said, "I see!"

"Huh?" Hongxue turned to look at her suspiciously.

"It must be that the Shi family is choosing a wife for their son." Qingmei said with certainty.

"The Shi family? What kind of family is that?" Hongxue was sure that she had never heard of such a family when she left Pingyang, and that she had only heard of such a family when he and Shan Yucheng arrived in Jingyang. The hydrangea is thrown in the street, but I have never heard that this daughter-in-law can also be chosen in public.

"Ma'am, this Shi family is a relatively well-known family in Pingyang." Qingmei flipped through the information in her mind and said, "Their family started out doing overseas business, and they all say that merchants smell like copper, but the Chen family is just the opposite. The family members of their family in the past are all scholars, at worst they are also juren, giving up being an official and focusing on business, it can be said to be an outlier."

"Furthermore, the Chen family is kind-hearted. In winter, they will take in some poor people who cannot survive the winter in the mansion on the outskirts of Pingyang. Pingyang is poor. In order to avoid the tragedy of freezing to death, it is considered a great effort." Qingmei tried her best to complete the information of the Shi family. .

Hearing this, Hongxue was puzzled and said, "According to what you said, how could the young master of the Shi family find a wife? No one would refuse to propose a marriage with a girl he likes, right?"

"According to the news, there is something wrong with the Shi family. Each head of the family can't live past forty, and the number of people is small. Now only Mr. Shi manages the shop." Qingmei also reported doubts about this, and followed Hongxue for a long time Now, she doesn't believe in the theory of restraining one's wife, she prefers to believe that there is something hidden in it, but she hasn't found it yet.

"So, if you marry into the Shi family, you will be a middle-aged widow?" Qing Xing stuck out her cute little tongue.

The conditions of the Shi family are so good, of course there are daughters who are willing, and it is better to be able to drink spicy food all the time, which is better than drinking the northwest wind, and to inherit the family business after giving birth to a son.

"Ma'am, there are too many people ahead, we can't get through, why don't we take a detour?" Qing Mei was not interested in this, and always felt that there must be something wrong.

"Ma'am, it's rare to catch up with such an interesting event, why don't we go and see the excitement." Qing Xing is still young, and she is still a child at heart.

"Okay then." Hongxue nodded after thinking for a while, she wanted to see what kind of family this Shi family really was, why didn't she hear any news about it before, as if it appeared out of nowhere, now There is still a war in Long'an, but they choose relatives in such a high-profile way, is there any connection between them?I hope it's just that she's overthinking it!

Under the high platform, there were many unmarried girls standing, many of them came in groups, chatting non-stop.

Hongxue and the others stood where they were, and understood the rules of the Shi family's selection. This time the selection will be announced by Steward Shi, and the girl who meets the requirements will be given a flower by the Shi family to wear in her hair. It's as simple as that , Mr. Shi will watch in the dark, choose a person when the time comes, and notify after the end, so as not to hurt the face of other women.

And these girls didn't really expect to be selected, they just wanted to get the rouge from the Shi family. In the Shi family's shop, it cost five hundred yuan a box, which they couldn't afford. If they participated, they would get a box of rouge for the Chinese New Year. Wipe when.

"That's interesting, Mr. Shi can be regarded as an elegant person." After listening to the rules, Qing Xing nodded in style and said: "I can find the woman I like without hurting the face of other women." , can be considered delicate.”

After hearing this, Hongxue didn't say a word, and just cast a light glance at Gaotai, she couldn't see anything wrong for the time being, but she always felt a little awkward in her heart, and always felt that things would not be that simple.

"First of all, on behalf of my young master, I would like to thank all the girls for coming here, ahem, for coming here to participate in the wedding ceremony of the Shi family." On the high platform, an old butler in a satin gown stood up, condescending, and cupped his hands at the crowd watching below .

Both men and women came to see the excitement, and at least a few thousand people gathered, which can be described as a crowd, and Hongxue and the others hidden below were inconspicuous at all.

"As we all know, our young master just won the crown this year, so the age requirement is for unmarried girls between the ages of [-] and [-]. They are required to have an innocent family background and must be able to read." Many people met the previous requirements, but many girls hung down when they said that they must be literate. head.

At that time, those who could read were all scholars, and most of them hadn't read big characters for a lifetime, as long as they could basic arithmetic.

Think about it too, as the young lady of the Shi family, how can I understand the account book steward if I can't read?This is already the minimum requirement, Hongxue looked at Qingmei with a smile and said, "What should I do, ma'am, I no longer meet the requirements."

"Madam doesn't agree, so there is still Qing Xing? The servant saw that she was very curious about the Shi family's wedding ceremony early in the morning, why don't you let her try it, maybe you can really find a good husband?" Qingmei joked in a rare way.

"Ma'am, you don't care about Qingmei. Look at what she said. If you want to say that she is not the only one who meets the requirements, she is also suitable. What's more, people with discerning eyes will not know that it is not a good marriage, but she says it is a good match. How about Just assign her to Young Master Shi." Qing Xing said unyieldingly.

Hongxue just smiled indifferently, and didn't take the bickering words of the two maids to heart. Don't say that she suspected that there was something wrong with the Shi family. Of course, if the dead person is voluntary, then it is another matter.

"Girls who meet the requirements, please come to the front, and the servants of the house will arrange flowers for everyone." Immediately, most of the girls backed away, and Hongxue and the others also retreated with the crowd.

But I saw that the women standing in front were still very shy, most of them had red faces and shy faces, and looked at their clothes, either fine cotton or satin dresses, they seemed to be from good families, many of them were behind. With a maid.

"Miss, this is your flower." The maid of the Shi family looked very polite, spoke softly and had a good attitude.

At this moment, Qingmei's eyes froze, she tugged at Hongxue's sleeve, pointed to the woman in front of her and said in a low voice: "Ma'am, don't you think that is the daughter of Jingyang prefect's family, Xie Xiaoqing?"
