Chapter 31
Chen Sheng knew nothing about all this.
At the beginning of the hour, Chen's mother took care of the Chen family's housework and cleaned herself up, and then went to Liu's Village with the two snacks given by Mrs. Chen.
It is not difficult to go to Liujia Village to inquire about Liu Yu. After all, the women in the village are talking about educating the girls at home. Chen Ma, the girl who married into Liujia Village, can't stop talking about Liu Yu, but she is very curious: "Aren't you a helper in the Chen family? Why did you come to inquire about this girl in our village? It can't be your young master..." The
women are all sensitive, and Liu Yu is at an age where she can talk about marriage. Her eyes lit up, and she thought Liu Yu's marriage was mentioned above.
Chen's mother hurriedly interrupted: "Don't talk nonsense, it can't happen."
She has stayed in the Chen family for fifteen years and knows Mrs. Chen very well. Even though she is not a prostituted servant, she still takes the job of the Chen family.
Her sister was annoyed, but she had heard about the character of the eldest sister, the owner's wife, over the years, and knew it was hard to say, so she smiled and told her sister about Liu Yu's situation in detail. When it came to the end, he said: "If someone really fell in love with this girl Yu'er, sister, you can help me to say a few more good things. It's not me, except that she is not Liu Kangsheng's own. It doesn't matter where this girl is. I know it well." The kid in the family is not good enough to carry shoes for others, so I dare not think about it, or I would like to hire her back as a daughter-in-law." Chen Ma heard that she wanted to talk about her sister, so she was so worried, and when she heard the mention later, The shoes don't match, so I looked up and down at my sister, and that look: you are fine? Did someone say that about their son? Decades old sister, her sister understood this look in an instant, and laughed: "Don't look at me like that, you haven't seen that girl Yu'er, and if you have, you will think my family is too big. , that's the tiles and beautiful jade, can they be put together?" Mama Chen told her to speak so wickedly, she really wanted to take a look at it, and it would be better to have a business meeting when she went back.
Her sister didn't hesitate, she thought about it, asked Chen Ma to wait, went back to the house and rummaged through a few neatly cut fine cloth strips, and said: "This girl seems to be bored at home thinking about embroidery recently, and she doesn't come out much. If you want to see her, it’s hard to meet her outside, I’ll take you to Liu’s house, don’t make a sound, just watch.”
Mother Chen wondered, “It’s inappropriate to go to Liu’s house, right? Don’t really think I'm here for a matchmaker, and my wife won't be happy to find out about my relationship with the Chen family." Madam
Chen pouted, thinking that Mrs. Chen was too difficult to serve. Like them, is it inlaid with gold?
But when I think about it, if a person is rich, it’s not just inlaid with gold. Well, the rich is the uncle. Doesn’t her eldest sister rely on the Chen family for food? Stand outside the yard, I'll call Yu'er out, and then I'll tell you to take a look from a distance."
She said she called him out to give Mama Chen a look from a distance, and she really called him out.
It turned out that Liu Yu was good at making nets with one hand. The women and aunts in the village were making clothes, and the buttons they made themselves were not good enough, so some of them came to Liu Yu with materials, and Liu Yu was also willing to help with these small things. , do some favors.
No, Chen Ma's sister was obviously one of them. When she entered the Liu family's yard, she met Wang's head-on.
Chen Ma, the girl, pulled people to a place not covered by the courtyard wall to talk, and Chen Ma, who was standing far outside the courtyard, took a look.
At this glance, an old woman couldn't help but hold her breath when she saw her, her eyes were so dizzy.
Chen's mother instantly understood the meaning of her sister's words, her two rough nephews, but when compared by this girl, tiles are compared to beautiful jade!
She was fascinated until she saw the girl turned around and went back into the house, she was out of sight, and she still didn't wake up.
Chen Ma's sister has already come to the front, she flashed her hand in front of Chen Ma's eyes, she came to her senses, smiled and said: "I'm not boasting, am I?
" .”
Thinking that Mrs. Chen was still waiting for an answer, she didn't dare to stay longer, so she said goodbye to Changfeng Town, where the wind was blowing back under her feet.
As expected, Mrs. Chen was waiting at home this afternoon. In the flower hall, Madam Chen explained in detail the background of Liu's family and Liu Yu's life experience that she had found out.
The more Mrs. Chen listened, the colder her eyes became. When she heard that Liu Yu was the daughter brought by Wang's remarriage, she sneered, "The carpenter's daughter is also the stepdaughter brought by the woman from her previous husband's house."
Madam Chen I didn't dare to say a word of good things about the half belly in the back.
At this moment, Chen Sheng came in with windy footsteps from outside the flower hall. Seeing that Mama Chen was there, his eyes lit up: "Mama Chen is back." Then
he turned to Mrs. Chen who was at the top: "Mom, Mama Chen found out Did the news come back to you?"
The coldness on Mrs. Chen's face has subsided since her son came in, and she still has her usual kind look, but she just raised her eyebrows: "This spot is not in the study, why are you back?"
Chen Sheng Touching his nose, he said, "I'm thinking that Mama Chen should come back soon."
Mrs. Chen's face darkened, she frowned and said, "Nonsense! The family business is on your shoulders, and you just take care of it like this." It's strange that your father can't even recover from his illness."
The smile on Chen Sheng's face froze, and he looked at Mrs. Chen with some helplessness.
Mrs. Chen rubbed her forehead, and when she looked up again, her face was tired. She waved to Chen Sheng, and said softly, "Sheng'er, come and sit down. I treated you too harshly. Since you After my father got sick, the whole family was supported by our mother and son, and I dare not relax for a moment.”
Chen Sheng didn’t dare to sit down now, so he bowed his head in front of Mrs. Chen and apologized: “It’s my son’s fault. You should be so indifferent to the study, Mommy will be so angry."
Mrs. Chen smiled, "Okay, sit down, I still don't know you, is it because I am anxious about your marriage?"
Chen Sheng's face revealed Smiling shyly, he sat down as promised, glanced at Chen Ma, then at Mrs Chen, and asked, "Mother, how is your inquiry?"
Mrs. Chen felt helpless and shook her head: "Stupid child, do you know the situation of that girl's family? You are so anxious to marry her."
Chen Sheng's complexion changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "What is it?"
Mrs. Chen then told Liu Yu's background Having said that, he said: "The family is in such a mess, not to mention that I have no help for you. In the future, you will have to pull out the big family, brothers, nephews."
Chen Sheng was relieved when he heard this, and said: " It's not a big deal, and our family doesn't point out any help, as for talking about it, I married her, not
her father and brother, I help those who can help, and refuse those who can't, so it doesn't matter." Mama Chen couldn't help but raise her eyes to glance at Chen Sheng, and quickly lowered her eyes again.
Mrs. Chen sighed naively in her heart, but on her face she looked helpless against Chen Sheng, and Chen Sheng pestered him: "Mother, hurry up and ask the matchmaker to go to Liujia Village."
He was afraid that he would call Lu Chengxiao or someone else if it was too late . Who gets there first.
Mrs. Chen couldn't even look down on Liu Yu out of the corner of her eye, so she wouldn't hire a matchmaker for him, but she smiled and said angrily: "There is no such rush in marriage, mother must choose a good day to meet someone first. Let's see what my future daughter-in-law looks like, and then communicate with her family, otherwise it will be too childish, and she will look
like a slow girl, right?" Chen Sheng heard the words of the future daughter-in-law, and his heart was filled with honey, and he also Feeling that his mother's words were very reasonable, she said with a smile: "Mother, look at the arrangement. If you see her, you must like her. My son will go back to the study first.
" , out of the flower hall and went out.
As soon as Mrs. Chen waited for the others to leave, the smile on her face faded completely. This time she propped her forehead with her hands, she was really tired, she closed her eyes, sighed through her nose, and didn't speak for a while.
Mother Chen stood holding her breath, and after about ten more breaths, Mrs. Chen opened her eyes, still resting her forehead on her hands, and asked her in a tired voice, "On the Shangsi Festival, the girl named Ruyi from the Zhou family, this year How old are you, do you remember?"
This year's Shangsi Festival outing, Chen's mother went together, and the Chen family went outing, she followed with some water and snacks, and was always behind Mrs. Chen. Hearing Mrs. Chen's question, she thought for a while and asked: "But in the county The Zhou family who is the accountant of the grain store?"
Mrs. Chen nodded.
Chen Ma said: "The wife of the He family asked about it that day, and I vaguely listened to it. It must be fifteen."
Zhou Ruyi was also quite a delicate and beautiful girl, but she was the same as the one she met in the afternoon. Compare. Naturally, Mrs. Chen obviously looked down on Liu Yu, so Mama Chen would not be so stupid as to say this in front of her. Even if she had seen Liu Yu's face from afar, Madam Chen would not mention it if Madam Chen didn't ask.
Mrs. Chen said "hmm", and after a while said: "Working, you have to go again, go to Zhou's house and talk to Mrs. Zhou, I am not in a good mood these days, thinking that the day after tomorrow is Yushui's birthday, so I will ask him In the morning, we went to the Niangniang Temple to worship a stick of incense, to see if she is free."
"By the way, ask if you can bring her family Ruyi with you, just say that I have seen Ruyi since the Shangsi Festival, and I have been thinking about it very much."
Chen Mama Instantly comprehending what she meant, she answered and headed to Zhou's house.
Over at the Zhou family, Mrs. Zhou heard her relay Mrs. Chen's invitation, her heart pounded and she was very happy. She was afraid that she had misunderstood the meaning, so she tentatively asked, "Is Mrs. Chen going alone?
" Smiling: "That can't be done, our young master is filial, and he will personally send it to his wife when he returns home to burn incense and worship Buddha. Our girl should also accompany his wife that day. It just so happens that I can talk to your Guyi girl together." " The implication is so clear, Mrs. Zhou can't understand, she is overjoyed, and said to Chen's mother: "That's good, Ruyi was thinking about her sister Chen's sister a while ago, please go back to your wife, the day after tomorrow At the end of Chen Shi in the morning, I will definitely go to the Niangniang Temple." At the beginning of Chen Shi there are too many pilgrims, so it is just right at the end of Chen Shi. Chen's mother knew that Mrs. Zhou understood, and she agreed with a smile. It was time to prepare dinner, and she didn't dare to delay any longer, saying that she had to hurry to get back to Mrs. Zhou and say goodbye to Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou sent people out of the gate affectionately, stood outside the gate and watched Mama Chen disappear before returning.
Behind the moon-hole window on the wall of the inner courtyard, Zhou Ruyi bit her lip and listened quietly for a long time. She watched Mrs. Zhou send her away and was about to turn back, so she hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran on tiptoe to avoid the West Wing. .
