Golden Pink Building

Mrs. Leng is a person who acts according to the old routine in the past, and her attitude towards Zhao Zhongshu is a bit full: "This matter is not up to us. Xiuzhi's parents entrusted her to me. I have to discuss it with her parents. Now, after all, I am her aunt, and parents are the ones to make decisions about marriage, so I will send a telegram to your father right away." What Mrs. Leng thought was that she and Qingqiu could only help Xiuzhi choose a good family. As for how to get married, Xiuzhi's parents have to discuss with the man.Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhongshu and Xiuzhi are going to get married soon, and Mrs. Leng's brain can't keep up with their rhythm.Even in the past when talking about marriage, it was not settled for life in one afternoon.No matter what, the matchmaker has to run a few times, after the engagement ceremony, to discuss a date.

"In my family, my aunt should know the situation. Everything in my house is ready-made, and I don't care about the dowry. If Xiuzhi's family wants a gift, please ask my aunt to give a number, and I will give it immediately." Zhao said Zhongshu was about to take out the check book from his pocket.Looking at Zhao Zhongshu's driver, Mrs. Leng was immediately annoyed. You are talking about marriage and marrying a wife. This is simply buying someone!

Mr. Zhao, you are so ugly. My Qingqiu said that you are also from a big family, and marrying a wife is a lifelong event. Although Xiuzhi's family is not very rich, it can be considered a well-off family.Her parents and I don't point to selling their daughter to earn money for food. I brought her to Shanghai to find someone serious, not to sell a girl in a disaster in the countryside.What do you mean come out with a check!Mrs. Leng values ​​rules more than anything else. She doesn't care how powerful Zhao Zhongshu is. Once Mrs. Leng's bottom line is touched, she won't give up.

Qingqiu hurriedly tugged on her mother's sleeve and came out to smooth things over. She pulled Xiuzhi over and said to Zhao Zhongshu: "You are blinded by love. Although our Xiuzhi agreed to your marriage proposal, you should be a son-in-law." Let’s pay my respects to Lao Taishan first. My mother always loves girls the most, and a woman only gets a bride once in her life, so it’s not good to be too hasty.”

Only then did Zhao Zhongshu realize his gaffe, and he immediately apologized sincerely to Mrs. Leng: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I was rash. As for the marriage, I will use or prepare according to your wishes. Just say it. You also know that I am alone, busy with official duties every day, and there is no one to take care of the family affairs. What you taught is that my ideas are too absurd. Don't be as knowledgeable as me." Zhao Zhongshu stood up as he said He bowed deeply to Mrs. Leng.Mrs. Leng hurriedly stood up and helped Zhao Zhongshu's arm: "Mr. Zhao is serious. His parents handed over their good daughter to me. I am also responsible. I was in a hurry and slipped my words just now. Mr. Zhao, please don't take it to heart. Go. I'm an old-fashioned person, and I can't accept free love for a while. It turns out that free love is like this, it's really weird."

Listening to Mrs. Leng's words, Xiuzhi's face became more and more red. Qingqiu's eyes moved back and forth between Zhao Zhongshu and Xiuzhi. Seeing that even Zhao Zhongshu couldn't hold back his face, she sat beside Mrs. Leng and laughed. Said: "Mom is really powerful, you can really be called a feudal guardian. Free love is not what you think, this is called a tacit understanding, and there is a lot of time spent in the previous life. There is no one in the whole Shanghai Beach. How dare you give Lao Zhao a nail like that just now."

Mrs. Leng just didn't like Zhao Zhongshu's arrogant attitude and didn't care about Zhao Zhongshu's identity. Now that Qingqiu mentioned it, she was also a little scared.Mrs. Leng slowed down, and said apologetically, "My old lady is confused. Mr. Zhao, don't be as knowledgeable as my old lady." I blamed myself for not being considerate, and being too reckless in my actions and words.However, Mrs. Fan asked Zhao Zhongshu to fully agree to it.

Zhao Zhongshu sat for a while, discussed with Mrs. Leng and waited for Xiuzhi's parents to come up before formally proposing marriage, then he left and Xiuzhi naturally sent Zhao Zhongshu out.Only Mrs. Leng and Qingqiu were left in the room, and Qingqiu leaned against Mrs. Leng: "Don't worry, mom, my cousin's life-long affairs have been settled. I didn't expect that my mother is usually the most timid person. Don't start a conflict. Who would have thought that today he would show his temper and tell Lao Zhao to bow his head. Although it is not as good as the emperor's anger, it can be called Baihong Guanri."

"You damn girl made fun of me. No matter what official he is, he has to be reasonable. In this world, all the good rules are thrown away, so it's so chaotic. I'm a little worried. Your cousin's temper Too soft, her parents are not around, if I turn a blind eye and close my eyes, what if she is cheated? Wouldn't it be a crime to be a good girl!" Mrs. Leng sighed: " You think that old Zhao has a lot of hands and eyes, if he only plays with Xiuzhi, he will leave her behind, what can he do with her? Why don't you decide on a title first, so she can have a way out in the future, right?" Qingqiu Unexpectedly, her mother would think of it to this extent, she couldn't help but sigh: "Mom is really thoughtful, I have worked hard to hope that they can understand. But Lao Zhao is not bad."

Mrs. Leng squinted her eyes slightly: "He has a richer city than you and Shao Yi, forget it, I won't talk too much." Xiuzhi lowered her head and shyly walked in, she didn't expect that Qingqiu and Mrs. Leng were still there, Immediately stood still in embarrassment, hesitating to explain.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Leng interrupted her first: "Miss is overjoyed, I will send someone to send a telegram to your parents. I don't understand things about you young people when I am old, and my aunt just wants you to be good. Girls Be more reserved, and don't be too eager to make your in-laws look down on you."

Xiuzhi's face was flushed with embarrassment, and she agreed with a sob. Qingqiu knew that Mrs. Leng was still a little bit upset, and she didn't want to make it too difficult for Xiuzhi, so she tried to persuade her: "Mom is getting old, don't think too much. Old Zhao's The character is still good. Well, you go up to rest, don't be hurt and ashamed. The two of you can be regarded as destined for marriage." Said Qingqiu personally pulled Xiuzhi up.

After entering the room, Xiuzhi called Qingqiu to leave: "Cousin, do you also think I'm being frivolous? I went to the park with Mr. Zhao this afternoon for some reason. When he said those words to me, my My mind is all messed up, I will have no strength at all, I just feel like I am in a dream."

Qingqiu also felt that something was wrong, but seeing Xiuzhi's bewildered expression as if in a dream, she knew that there was nothing to ask from her mouth, "You are tired, don't think about those things and take a good rest. Is it the same as before?" , it’s about free marriage, what are you afraid of?” Qingqiu told Xiuzhi to rest at ease and stop thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, Xiuzhi held on to Qingqiu anxiously: "My mind is going to explode. Cousin Qingqiu, you and your cousin's husband also met by yourself. Is it free love? How did he propose to you in the first place?"

Poor Xiuzhi went to a girls' school, where she had tasted love, but she became a little white rabbit at the mercy of Zhao Zhongshu.Calm down now, Xiuzhi is at a loss, she is eager to find someone who has come here to ask, what is the matter with being proposed?What is it like to be in love.But she is in Shanghai, besides Mrs. Leng, Qingqiu is the only one who can confide in her heart.

Qingqiu didn't expect Xiuzhi to ask about the history of her first love. Qingqiu pulled Xiuzhi to sit down on the bed and thought about it: "It can be regarded as free love. I met him in school. Actually, there is no such thing as falling in love. You are told to follow the sample, everyone has their own fate, Lao Zhao and your brother-in-law have different personalities, and the situation is different now than before. You have to ask your own heart, don't care too much about other people's opinions."

"But cousin Qingqiu, did your brother-in-law propose to you after seeing you? If you didn't like brother-in-law at that time, would you still marry him?" Xiuzhi became more and more uneasy. She grabbed Qingqiu's arm and her eyes widened. There were tears. "Shao and I decided to get together after we had known each other for a while. At that time, I was busy with school, and your brother-in-law was teaching in the school. How could we have time to be together every day? Later, my mother-in-law came to propose marriage. Now it is you, Why are you only chasing after me to ask. Did he force you to agree? Don't be afraid, just tell me if you have any embarrassments, and I will tell you and Lao Zhao." Qingqiu thought that Zhao Zhongshu was using power to oppress others, Forcing Xiuzhi to agree to the marriage.

"No, I just think it's a bit too fast. Mr. Zhao met me a few times, and we didn't talk much. He is a high-ranking official. Although I don't know what level of official he is, I can see where he is going. Others are respectful, and that official can't be too small. Cousin, I really can't figure out, what does he like about me?" Thinking of Zhao Zhongshu's proposal to her, Xiuzhi still couldn't recover.

Qingqiu was amused by Xiuzhi's appearance: "He didn't force you to agree, so you agreed by yourself. I think what you are worried about is not whether Lao Zhao is sincere to you, but because you feel inferior and feel that you are not worthy." I was worried that Lao Zhao would wake up and regret it in the future. If you like someone, you just like it. No matter how good you don’t like it, you can’t change your mind even if you hold a knife rest on your neck.” Qingqiu reached out and poked Xiuzhi’s forehead. Xiuzhi’s youngest daughter All her thoughts were on her face, she had already been tempted by Old Zhao.It's just that I feel ashamed and think I'm not good enough for others, so I'm just suspicious here.

Xiuzhi suddenly realized, she laughed through tears, and covered her face with a handkerchief in shame: "I will remember what my cousin said. I will stop thinking about it, and there is my aunt, please tell me something nice for me."

Mrs. Leng sent a telegram to her cousin, asking them to come over to discuss Xiuzhi's marriage. Before Xiuzhi's parents arrived, Bai Shaoyi's boat had already arrived at the port.On that day, reporters, officials and relatives and friends who came to pick me up at the pier packed the pier to the brim.Yufen, Bai Xiongqi's family and Xiuzhu all come to pick up Bai Shaoyi.Bai Xiongqi has been in Beiping recently, his face is a bit rough from the sunshine and wind and sand in Beiping, but his spirit is very good: "I think Shaoyi got a golden stepping stone this time, he entered the legal department It’s a matter of certainty, and I would say that being a lawyer is not as good as being an official, in China law is a dispensable thing, and being an official is the right way.”

Xiuzhu was dismantling her brother: "Brother, you are an official with just one mouth, and you are rich, and you smell like copper, so vulgar."
