Chapter 218 Talking about pro
The news of Zhu Ping'an's return quickly spread throughout the village.
Of course, when Mrs. Chen went out early in the morning to pour out the slop, she casually said something to Aunt Li who was also pouring out the slop, and within half an hour, the whole Xiahe Village knew that the second boy of the Zhu family, who was admitted to Juren, had returned. Then the result was that when Zhu Pingan came back from reading early in the morning, he saw a lot of people from the four aunts and the eight uncles at home, and it took him a long time just to say hello to him.
Seeing that Zhu Ping'an is a master of Juren, and he is still so polite to them, these four aunts and eight uncles are even more excited. They praise and praise Zhu Pingan, and even an old man swears He swore that when Zhu Ping'an was born, he saw the red clouds in Zhu's house and it seemed like the sky was on fire.
Zhu Pingan blushed when these people said it directly.
Mother Chen enjoys this atmosphere very much, and from time to time tells about Zhu Ping'an's childhood, such as how he can herd cattle at the age of 5, which arouses a burst of praise from the four aunts and eight uncles around, and then Chen's repeated Shaking his hands, he said modestly that my pig is not so smart. When he was a child, he was very skinny, but his face looked like he had drunk two taels of wine.
"His aunt, the youngest daughter of my second aunt's family is twelve years old, and she is sensible and capable. The one in the ten miles and eight villages is not boastful. I think it is the same as your Pingan Lang."
An older aunt talked for a while about beating around the bush and being unnutritive, then suddenly the topic changed and she wanted to introduce the youngest daughter of her second aunt's family to Zhu Ping'an. If you tell Zhu Ping'an the daughter of a relative's family, the relative's family will naturally enjoy great blessings, so wouldn't he be a matchmaker?
When Mrs. Chen heard the words, her face changed. Before she could speak, someone next to her raised objections.
"Auntie, I have nothing to say, the youngest daughter of the old aunt's family is sensible and capable, but she is tall."
An aunt got up and quit as soon as the aunt had finished speaking. Although she didn't say what the youngest daughter of the aunt's family looked like, she almost understood it from the tone of the aunt's tongue.
Hearing that someone helped him to refuse, Chen shi breathed a sigh of relief, but before Chen shi could finally let go of this breath, the aunt who helped him just now spoke again, and directly made Chen shi breathe again.
"If you want me to say, the eldest girl of my second aunt's family is called a Shuiling. She is from Zhaotou Village. You have seen it before. What a girl, the matchmaker has stepped down the threshold by three Inch."
After belittling what the aunt introduced, the aunt called the eldest girl of her second aunt's family a flower, which is self-evident.
"Forget it, the girls in your second aunt's family are all sixteen years old, three years older than Ping An Lang, let me tell you."
Another sister-in-law stepped forward.
Then, Zhu Ping'an's yard seemed to have entered a flock of ducks, quack quack quack, every sentence you said and mine was the same theme, introducing your relatives to Zhu Ping'an, and occupying this great wealth.
Chen's complexion is not very good-looking. She has seen many of these girls mentioned by the seventh aunt and eight aunt. Not as good, let alone Li Shu. One is the golden phoenix flying in the sky, and the other is a group of small house sparrows flying on the ground, how can it be compared.
Li Shu is beautiful, sensible, kind, filial, and good at managing the family, and her family background is good. The most important thing is that Li Shu is very prosperous in Chen's opinion. Only such a girl can be worthy of her own son. As for these The seven aunts and the eight aunts have a good relationship, but compared with the lifelong affairs of my own pig, they have to step aside. How can the village girl be worthy of the pig who will be a high-ranking official in the future? In the future, he will not be able to lift his head when he goes out.
Zhu Ping'an's face twitched a little as he looked at the seven aunts and eight aunts who were vying to introduce themselves to each other.
"Ahem, ahem, our family has arrangements." Mrs. Chen coughed a little embarrassedly and said something precarious to the seven aunts and eight aunts who were about to fight in the yard.
Then the yard was quiet for a while, and then asked who the girl was, how she looked, and how her personality was.
Chen smiled but said nothing.
Chen's mystery and affirmation made the seven aunts and eight aunts stop the idea of introducing their relatives to Zhu Pingan.
At the critical moment, the old lady is still reliable, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but pay attention to Chen.
Chen looked at Zhu Pingan's relieved and grateful eyes, and thought that Zhu Pingan had guessed something. Her second child often went to borrow books from other people. She was such a beautiful and well-behaved girl. It was hard to guarantee that the second child had some thoughts about her, so she thought That idea is about to break through the sky.
The ancients were embarrassed to express their thoughts on marriage. In ancient times, when they talked about being close, girls would run back to the boudoir shyly without saying a word when they were satisfied.
Therefore, Zhu Ping'an's eyes misunderstood Chen.
The seven aunts and eight aunts stayed at Zhu Ping'an's house for a while, until the smoke began to rise in the village, Mrs. Chen politely asked them to eat at home, the seven aunts and eight aunts thanked Mrs. Chen, and reluctantly left.
call
Looking at the seven aunts and eight aunts who had left, Zhu Pingchuan took a breath. This was much more difficult than the imperial examination.
"Really, I haven't had time to make chicken soup because of the delay." Mrs. Chen said a little arrogantly, and went into the stove to continue cooking chicken soup.
Big brother Zhu Pingchuan came out of the house and joked with Zhu Pingan, "Is there anything you like? Tell brother."
Zhu Ping'an shook his head again and again.
Then I heard the eldest brother Zhu Pingan say with some embarrassment, "Well, that Juan'er has a cousin"
It seems that the future sister-in-law and elder brother mentioned it.
Brother hadn't finished speaking when he saw Mrs. Chen come out of the kitchen aggressively holding a fire stick.
"Zhu Dachuan, tell me one more sentence!" Mrs. Chen grabbed Zhu Pingchuan's ear, and made a gesture to drop the fire stick on Zhu Pingchuan's body, but seeing the sparks on the fire stick, she didn't want to hit it.
"Mother, I want to marry a daughter-in-law." Zhu Pingchuan was yelled at by Chen Shi.
"What's wrong with marrying a daughter-in-law, you're the only one who can't figure it out, you can still hit her in front of your daughter-in-law." Chen gave Zhu Pingchuan an angry look, and then pulled hard before letting go.
"Why can't I figure it out?"
Zhu Pingchuan hesitated with some grievances, and in exchange for Chen's movement of waving a fire stick, he dared not say any more.
"Think for yourself" Chen gave Zhu Pingchuan another look before entering the kitchen.
Think for yourself? Zhu Pingchuan didn't understand, so he turned his eyes to Zhu Ping'an in a daze.
"Ahem, bro, I'm going to study in my room."
Zhu Pingan coughed, and fled to the bedroom, leaving behind Zhu Pingchuan who was standing in the yard with a dazed face. He didn't know why he couldn't tell the difference. Isn't it a good thing to introduce his wife to his second brother? Why can't he tell the difference? Cleared up.
