Remodeling the World Remodeling Myth

Chapter 94

Li's house, the backyard.

"Wuuu, master, I can't quit, I really can't just quit like this. Even if we don't think about ourselves, we should think about it for Nai'er. If this matter gets out, Nai'er still has a chance in Taixue." What face can we talk about?" Madam Wang was full of tears, covering her face with her wide sleeves, her voice choked with grief and indignation.

Li Gefei frowned into Sichuan characters, his face was full of impatience.He shook his sleeve angrily, and said angrily: "It's ridiculous, don't you even think about it, can we refuse this matter? Mr. Zhao came to the door in person and didn't even say hello beforehand. Can't you see what it means?"

When Li Gefei said this, he couldn't help feeling a little more resentful.

He can completely understand that the other party wants to save the Zhao family's face.But the other party wanted to step on the Li family's face and save his Zhao family's face, which made Li Gefei very disappointed.The two have been friends for more than ten years, but now the other party has used such low-handed methods for the sake of their own face!
Mrs. Wang just cried and cried, completely ignoring what Li Gefei said.

"Crying, what's the use of crying any more. Shang'er is expected to come to propose marriage in the past two days, which can be considered as a solution to Qingzhao's marriage, and I have one less worry. Don't expect to be successful." Li Gefei was already upset, and seeing Mrs. Wang crying became even more unhappy.

He flicked his sleeves and hummed: "Okay, stop crying to make people upset. Nai'er will return from Taixue tomorrow, don't let him worry."

"Annoyance, are you the only one who is bothered. Shang'er is only from a merchant family, how can he compare with Mingcheng. If Lai'er enters the officialdom in the future, you, why are you so useless." Mrs. Wang stared at her red and swollen eyes , looked at Li Gefei angrily, choked up and scolded.

Li Gefei took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Then what do you want me to do, kneel down and beg the Zhao family to take back the name card?"

Mrs. Wang looked hesitant, obviously she had this kind of thought in her heart.

In her opinion, the Zhang family is just a small businessman, how can it be compared with the Zhao family.

Not to mention that Zhao Tingzhi was a member of the third rank in the dynasty, even the few sons of the Zhao family were not ordinary, and the eldest son was already an official of the fifth rank.If the Li family could tie the knot with the Zhao family, it would be of great benefit to both Li Gefei and Li Hui's official career.

It's just that Mrs. Wang knows Li Gefei's character better, and speaking directly will only make things more out of hand.

Li Gefei and Mrs. Wang have been in love for more than ten years, so I don't know what is going on in her heart when I see her expression.He snorted angrily and flung his sleeves away, but he didn't even leave the polite words between husband and wife.

Seeing Li Gefei leaving in anger, Mrs. Wang couldn't help crying again: "Why is my life so miserable?"

living room.

With a reluctant smile on his face, Li Gefei returned the name cards for the exchange of birthdays between the two families, and said in a slightly stiff voice: "This is your son's birthday, please take it away, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Tingzhi nodded in satisfaction, heaving a sigh of relief.

Now that Li Gefei has given in, the matter has been settled.Even if there are any rumors outside in the future, it has nothing to do with the Zhao family.In any case, the Zhao family's face was finally saved.

"It's a pity that the fate between Ling'ai and Gouzi has not yet come. I still have important things to do, so I won't bother you any more. Let me go." After this incident, the relationship between Zhao and Li was lost, and Zhao Tingzhi didn't want to He and Li Gefei continued to talk politely, and said goodbye directly.

Li Gefei tried to persuade Zhao Tingzhi to stay for a while. Although he was very angry with Zhao Tingzhi, he did not lose his mind.With a forced smile on his face, he hurriedly got up to see him off.

It was just that the two of them had just walked to the door of the hall when there was a sudden commotion outside the courtyard.

Before the two of them could react, they saw a dozen strong young men in light blue uniforms walking in carrying several large or small mahogany boxes.There are red cloth wraps on those boxes, and the words "Happy" are pasted on them.

Accompanying the boys into the courtyard, a short, fat old man with a stooped figure and white beard and hair slowly walked in, but it was Chu Nangong.Leaning on crutches, he walked slowly into the courtyard, his small eyes were narrowed into slits, his chubby face was full of smiles, and he said with a smile: "Old Duke Chu, come here to beg for my son."

The name Chu Nangong was an alias given by Chu Nangong after he came to Kaifeng. After all, the name Chu Nangong was not a small person in history.He came here only to investigate the situation in the world, and he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

Duke Chu?

Li Gefei vaguely felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but he was attracted by Chu Nangong's words before he could think about it.

Propose!

Li Gefei was stunned for a moment but didn't realize it. He didn't come to his senses until he saw Tian Yan appearing next to Duke Chu.

Is it Shanger?
Li Gefei, who had just been humiliated by someone at his door, and who was still quite depressed until now, after thinking about it, couldn't help but feel better.Although Shang'er has never been involved in accepting lottery, asking for names, or Najib, it is really against the rules of etiquette for someone to bring a betrothal gift to the door to ask for marriage.

If the normal process is followed, after the three incidents of accepting the lottery, asking the name, and Najib.When the dowry is determined by both parties, it is mainly the parents of both parties who come forward, and the matchmaker spreads the word to reconcile.Or the man's family will first open a draft post and discuss with the woman's family; or the woman's family will first propose a dowry request and hand it over to the man's family for consideration.

And Zhang Shang directly asked people to come here with the dowry gift, which can be said to be a great courtesy.

However, Li Gefei was quite satisfied with Zhang Shang's sincerity that he had already prepared the dowry gift in just over a day.

Especially when the Li family has just been humiliated, it can be said that the Li family has saved a little face.

Li Gefei was still worrying about how to explain this matter to Li Qingzhao before, but now seeing Zhang Shang sending someone to ask for a marriage, he felt very relieved, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Duke Chu, wait for a while, and wait for Li to see you off." I'm a Shangguan, and then I'll talk about the marriage between the little girl and the noble son in detail."

Zhao Tingzhi looked at the situation in front of him, and never showed anything unusual.

Naturally, he didn't believe that just after he came to withdraw the verbal engagement with the other party, someone came to Li's house to propose marriage.For this, Zhao Tingzhi believed that Li Gefei found someone to act in the play.For this, he was quite appreciative, and even somewhat lamented that Li Gefei's brain is so easy to use, that in such a short period of time, he had already thought of such a good show to save the Li family's face.

It's just that Zhao Tingzhi has such a heart, but Zhao Mingcheng doesn't have such a good manner and city.

He originally had a good impression of Li Qingzhao, but he had to give up because of Zhao Tingzhi's strength.But even so, he still couldn't dispel his spying on the beautiful woman.

Now Zhao Mingcheng thinks that the peerless beauty who was supposed to be his wife may soon marry someone else's wife, he can't help but feel as if someone has put on a green hat, and he is extremely angry.

He glanced at the betrothal gift Chu Nangong brought, and said with a sneer: "Even if it is an ordinary small family, it is not so shabby to only have six betrothal gifts when you come to ask for marriage. What's more, there is not even a ceremony when you are engaged. It seems that you don't have Miss Qingzhao in your heart, right?"

After his words fell, the atmosphere in the yard suddenly became awkward.

Li Gefei looked at Chu Nangong in embarrassment, and then glanced at Zhao Mingcheng, who was full of contempt, his face was full of irrepressible anger.

Shuzi, you are too deceitful!
