Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

After praising Dong Jiabao and Dong Jiafu, it was the turn of the real host.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "My young man is acquainted with the two young masters, and we praise them a lot at home. Needless to say, the eldest young master, in terms of study, my young man is far behind. That young man is better than you." The second son of the family is very fond of him, saying that he is eloquent and energetic, and is a rare young man. "

Of course Xu Yiwan was happy when her children were praised. Chatting is about back-and-forth. If someone else said this, she should praise her back. But she didn't even know how many children the family had, let alone seen them, so she really didn't know how to boast.

Moreover, from the moment she entered the house until now, Mrs. Wang only talked about her children and did not know the purpose of her coming here.

Xu Yiwan couldn't wait to ask: "Mrs. Wang has given me the award. I wonder why I'm here today..."

Mrs. Wang smiled and replied: "Actually, I'm here to marry you. I have a niece who is nineteen this year. Her father is General Du Min of Zhenyuan."

"It's pity that my sister left early," Mrs. Wang put away her smile and looked sad. "That child followed her father to the border at a young age. The man was careless and careless. Her father only knew how to lead troops in war, so he took her The marriage has been postponed until now.”

"I am her aunt. I can't let her delay any longer, so I worry about her marriage. Her father also said that her grandmother and I will decide on her marriage. Mr. Dong is of noble character, and Mrs. Dong is gentle and dignified. The children you raise are definitely good, but I don’t know if my niece is lucky enough to become a member of your family.”

Unexpectedly, she came to marry her. Xu Yiwan looked embarrassed and said, "Wang

Madam, you are too polite. Jiabao is still on his way to Suzhou to take up his post. He doesn't know when he will come back from this trip. He may have wronged Miss Du. "

Xu Yiwan felt even more sad when she thought that Dong Jiabao's departure meant that his marriage would not be settled. If he had not asked for a job and stayed in Beijing, this would be a good marriage.

"Mrs. Dong misunderstood, I blame me for not making it clear," Mrs. Wang quickly explained, "The eldest son of your family is a scholar. Even if he goes to Suzhou now, he will definitely return to Beijing to work in the future, and his future is limitless. To tell you the truth, my son The niece learned from her father. She is not very good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is good at boxing and kicking. I am afraid she is not worthy of the eldest son. "

"What I want to tell her is your second son. They both have out-of-the-box temperaments, so they should be able to get along."

She couldn't hide the fact that Man Ting learned martial arts from now on, so Mrs. Wang told the truth. She was also worried in her heart, for fear that scholars like the Dong family would mind.

Xu Yiwan didn't think there was anything wrong with knowing martial arts. As a general, it was normal to know one and a half moves. She had other concerns.

"Mrs. Wang doesn't know. Jia Lin is not good at literature or martial arts. He also runs a small business outside. I'm afraid he is not worthy of Miss Du."

In her opinion, the status of the daughter of General Zhenyuan was too high. Not only would Dong Jialin not be an official in the future, but with his current enthusiasm for business, he would probably continue to do so. Their own family doesn't care, but would a general's daughter be willing to marry a businessman?

Mrs. Wang had inquired before and didn't mind Dong Jialin's mediocre qualifications. She and her mother were interested in the Dong family, and of course she believed in her son's vision. But it pleases her

In addition, Dong Jialin can also do business.

"Business is good," Mrs. Wang said in surprise, "This man doesn't have to pursue an official career. Being able to support oneself is considered a skill. Compared with those playboys who only know how to have fun, I don't know how many times your son is better like this. We don't ask Manting either. She will be prosperous in the future, as long as she and her husband can live a stable life. "

Xu Yiwan agreed with her words and confirmed again: "General Du and Miss Du really don't dislike Jia Lin?"

"Look what you said," Mrs. Wang covered her mouth and chuckled, "I came to your door today to propose a kiss. This is the best proof. I was worried that you might not like Manting."

"Mrs. Wang, what are you talking about? It's an honor for us that you like us, Jialin."

Mrs. Wang felt that this marriage was a match, and said happily: "Then what Mrs. Dong means..."

After all, it is a major marriage matter, and Xu Yiwan dare not say anything to death, "I can't make the decision on this matter at the moment, I have to discuss it with my husband."

"Yes, this is what it should be. Then I will go back and wait for your news."

Mrs. Wang drank another cup of tea before getting up and leaving.

Xu Yiwan sent her out, and when she came back, she felt happy. She didn't expect someone from Jialin would come to marry her.

When Dong Jingtang came back from outside, Xu Yiwan couldn't wait to greet him.

"What are you happy about today?" Dong Jingtang asked while taking off his outer robe.

Xu Yiwan helped him change his clothes, "Is it that obvious?"

"The corner of your mouth hasn't moved since I came in. What makes you so happy?"

Xu Yiwan pulled him to sit down, "Someone came to marry Jia Lin."

"Oh," Dong Jingtang was also quite surprised, "Which girl are you talking about?"

"

The daughter of Zhenyuan General Du Min. "Xu Yiwan said this with a bit of pride.

Dong Jingtang raised his eyes and looked over, "Isn't Du Min guarding the border in Liangzhou? Who asked me to marry him?"

"Miss Du's aunt, the wife of Mr. Wang, the young minister of Taipu Temple."

Dong Jingtang understood the relationship between the two families, and then looked at Xu Yiwan's expression, "How did you respond? Are you satisfied with this marriage?"

"Of course I am satisfied. She is General Du's daughter. Even I, who don't go out often, have heard that General Du is famous and has made many military exploits for Da Yin."

After Xu Yiwan finished speaking, she quickly said: "But don't worry, I'm not unreasonable. I didn't agree. I just said I wanted to discuss it with you."

"Not bad." Dong Jingtang nodded.

"Do you think this marriage is not good?" Xu Yiwan could not see the happy look on his face.

"No, I just think that General Du, who is far away in Liangzhou, would be willing to marry his daughter to the capital? What's more, he doesn't even know us, let alone Jia Lin."

"So you are worried about this. Mrs. Wang said that General Du has entrusted Miss Du's marriage to her and her mother, and they can make the decision."

Dong Jingtang was still confused, "Why did they fall in love with Jia Lin?"

Xu Yiwan was unhappy when she heard this, "What's wrong with our Jialin? What's wrong with him? Although he's not as good at reading as Jiabo, he can do business and is good at making friends. Why can't they like Jiabo?" Forest?"

"Jialin is also my son. Of course I know what he is like. I am not saying that he is not good." Dong Jingtang quickly explained, "As parents, we want our children to be good, but there are so many high-ranking children in the capital.

Can a general's daughter be willing to marry Jia Lin? "

Xu Yiwan took a breath, "I was worried at first, but Mrs. Wang said that her young master knew Jia Lin and praised him highly, so they came here."

"There was something I forgot to tell you last night," Dong Jingtang remembered. "Master Cheng also proposed marriage to his nephew and fell in love with Afu."
