Chapter 386
After the banquet, another group of people mentioned to Xiao's father the matter of forming a family with children, among them were wealthy households who were originally from the same family as the Xiao family, and some small officials.

Father Xiao was excited. In the past, these people were the ones the Xiao family needed to climb up to. Now they are so polite and want to give their daughter to his son as a concubine. The Xiao family has really risen up.

Of course, there are not only those who want to send their daughters to be concubines, but also those who want to hire wives for their sons. After all, Xiao Zhu also has an older sister.

Father Xiao said cheerfully, "Okay, my nephew is a good-looking talent, not bad."

When meeting the next one, Xiao's father continued to be cheerful, "My nephew is a good-looking talent, not bad, not bad."

When meeting the next one, Xiao's father continued: "My nephew is a good-looking talent, not bad, not bad." '

After seeing off the guests, Father Xiao called everyone together and began to discuss the matters that everyone mentioned today. Now the power of the Xiao family has gradually been transferred from Father Xiao to Xiao Zhu.

Father Xiao said: "Son, you said before that you should wait for your sister's marriage, just wait for today. Look at who in Pingcheng is worthy of your sister."

Xiao's mother never expressed her opinion on her husband's previous daughter's affairs. At this moment, she just looked at her son with a smile on her face, her eyes full of pride.

Grandma Xiao grabbed her granddaughter's hand and said, "Yes, my granddaughter is now Mr. Hou's sister. Most people are not worthy of our family. We have to find a good one who knows how to care for others."

Seeing everyone's similar pride, Xiao Zhu felt a little guilty. The original body did not let Sister Xiao postpone her marriage because he thought that one day he would become a man and could support his sister, but because he hoped that his sister could become a nobleman and support him.

But now he is the one who is successful. He calculated the people in Pingcheng and finally said: "I don't think there is anyone in Pingcheng who is worthy of my sister, but marrying low has the advantage of marrying low. They will never dare to bully my sister in the future."

Xiao Zhu said to Sister Xiao: "Sister, I am the Marquis who came to save the king of the small county. I have no foundation, and everyone will not take it seriously when I go outside, but in Pingcheng, no one dares to disrespect me."

Sister Xiao said: "I know brother, you are doing it for my own good. I have no idea of ​​clinging to the powerful. Just being ordinary is fine."

Xiao Ying used to be very worried about her younger brother. Although she loves her dearly, she always has some leeway in her heart. She is worried that one day she will have to sacrifice her life to pay for her brother's willfulness.

But it's different now. She can feel that her brother has no intention of taking advantage of her now and only wants her to be happy.In that case, she had nothing to worry about.

After discussing with the Xiao family, they felt that it was better to know the basics.

Xiao's father proposed Li Jiazi, that is, Li Yue.From Xiao's father's point of view, the Li family had a good relationship with their son, and they knew each other well, and they would not let Ying'er separate from their son.The Li family's family style is also good. The most important thing is that businessmen know how to weigh interests. They know what can and cannot be done.

Grandpa Xiao also agreed with Father Xiao's opinion, knowing that it is good to weigh the interests, as long as the grandson is Lord Hou, the Li family will not dare to neglect the granddaughter.To put it bluntly, the granddaughter's life in the Li family can definitely be like a princess.

Grandma Xiao has a different opinion. It is a good thing that the Xiao family can restrain the Li family, but there are always many restrictions in a merchant's house.Just like grandson's daughter-in-law, from an official girl to a business woman, a lot of clothes and jewelry have become the bottom of the box, which can only be seen but not worn.

Grandma Xiao said: "No, Yingying will have a good life for a few days, and she can no longer go to the merchant's house to suffer."

The two parties disagreed, and neither could convince the other. In the end, they both looked at Xiao Zhu.Xiao Zhu said: "Since it's my sister's lifelong event, of course we must follow her opinion. Sister, don't be afraid, say it boldly, even if you like the nobles in the capital, I can ask the little county king to introduce one."

Xiao Ying couldn't help laughing, she held back her embarrassment, and chose to say: "I think Li Yue is very good, he is an honest person."

Xiao Ying still remembered that she saw Li Yue at home once, and she beat him sideways and asked him not to lead his younger brother into trouble.Li Yue blushed, he hesitated and couldn't speak, at that moment, Xiao Ying felt that it was a good idea to find such a person, he would never be able to quarrel with herself.

Xiao Zhu hesitated for a moment, and told his sister about Li Yue's situation.Xiao Ying was taken aback for a moment, so she blushed and faltered because she didn't practice in advance?What a big misunderstanding.

Xiao Ying said: "I still choose him, he's so fun. Besides, even if I'm not satisfied in the future, I can still get back together. Brother, you won't leave me alone, will you?"

"of course not."

Sister Xiao decided on the candidate, and Xiao Zhu went to Li Yue to play drums.

Xiao Zhu sighed in front of Li Yue, Li Yue said: "Brother Xiao, why are you sighing?"

Xiao Zhu said sadly: "My parents said they wanted to marry off my sister. I don't want my sister to leave home. Hey, I don't know who can marry a woman as good as my sister back home."

He glanced at Li Yue, and said with emotion: "If only you were fine, you definitely don't dare to bully my sister, although you stutter, you are useless, your status in the Li family is not high, and you are still a merchant."

Li Yue's head lowered lower and lower.

"But", Xiao Zhu said, "One of your advantages is that you have me as a friend. As the saying goes, those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. You must have learned a lot of my advantages by staying with me, so you will definitely be a peerless good friend." Husband. What do you think?"

Li Yue nodded, "Yes, that's right." He tried to think about Xiao Zhu's words in his mind, so his own advantage is having him as a friend?

Xiao Zhu patted Li Yue's shoulder, "Don't say yes, just say whether you can do it. If you can love your wife as much as I do, I will definitely recommend you to be my brother-in-law when I go back."

Li Yue's heart was pounding, and he didn't need to rehearse in advance for the first time, so he blurted out: "Yes."

"That's good. I'll recommend you to my parents when I get back. However, your status as a merchant is still a bit low for you to match Master Hou's sister. I don't know if my family will agree." Xiao Zhu looked a little trouble.

"Forget it, I'd better ask Brother Hu. Although he is also a businessman and has conflicts with me, I heard that he is studying poetry and books and is going to come back with an examination. He will not let my sister be a businesswoman. .”

As if he had figured something out, Xiao Zhu walked away, turned back to Li Yue and said, "Li Yue, don't take what I just said to heart, I was just joking."

Just kidding?Businesswoman?Li Yue's mind turned quickly, and then his hand grabbed Xiao Zhu at a speed that he didn't expect, "Xiao, Brother Xiao."

Xiao Zhu said helplessly: "I know you are not happy, but I can't marry my sister off at will. Don't worry, although we can't be in-laws, you are still my best friend, and Hu Lian will definitely be behind you. "

Li Yue was in a hurry, and said directly: "I also take the merit test."

After speaking, even he was surprised. Without rehearsing in advance, I still have the time to speak so fluently!But he didn't have time to be surprised for too long. In order to save his brother-in-law's identity, he held his brother-in-law tightly and repeated over and over again: "I also take the merit test."

Xiao Zhu tried to explain, "No, brother Li, I"

Li Yue interrupted him, "I also take the merit test."

"Li Yue, you."

"I also take the merit test."

Xiao Zhu seemed helplessly entangled, and said casually: "Okay, okay, if you can pass the exam, I'll go home and recommend you. Okay, let go, I'm going home."

Li Yue let go, and Xiao Zhu strode away.Li Yue looked at the direction he was walking, and it was clearly the direction of the Hu family, not the direction of the Xiao family at all.

Li Yue hurriedly took his entourage home and asked the head of the Li family to find a teacher. He wanted to hang his head from the beam and stab his buttocks, and he must get the merit exam before Hu Lian.

Li Yue couldn't explain clearly, but the Li family master learned what happened from his entourage.But the entourage also added: "Master Xiao seemed to have made a slip of the tongue, and later he was unwilling to admit it. The young master pulled him tightly, so he agreed casually. But after he left, he went to the Hu family again."

Patriarch Li is not surprised either, Xiao Zhu, everyone knows that even though he has become a Marquis now, he is not a genuine material, he got it by a fluke by currying favor with the county king.It is not surprising that he said the wrong thing.

However, since he had already said it, he had to admit it.Fortunately, the Li family is already the fourth generation in Yueyue, and they can take the merit test. He put up a face and gave more money, and he can always find a teacher to come back. The requirements are not high, as long as he can pass the test as a child student.

The head of the Li family gave his son a look of approval, "Yueyue, you did a good job this time, you should seize the opportunity when it is time to seize it, and you must seize the opportunity to create it. Don't worry about the teacher. Dad will find it for you." , you work hard and strive to be admitted to Tongsheng as soon as possible."

Li Yue nodded firmly.

Why didn't the Li family mention it first? After Xiao Zhu left the Li family, he immediately walked towards the Hu family. Out of Li Yue's sight, he immediately turned a corner and walked in another direction.

Xiao Zhu was triumphant, no one in this world would have guessed that the young master of the Xiao family would be scheming, young master Xiao is such a simple person.
