Chapter 129 Ate two bowls with tears
Although Yao Pinger was quite satisfied with Zhou Ji's first impression, she never thought that her daughter had even settled on a marriage after she just walked away for a moment.
On the carriage going back, Yao Ping looked at Su Tan'er several times, her worried expression made her laugh dumbly, she gently held her mother's palm, and patted it, "Mother, don't worry, I know it well."
"What can you count? We just met Zhou Ji that day. Even though he looks handsome and talks well, it's the first time we've met after all. How can we talk about marriage as soon as we meet?" Yao Ping held Su Tan'er's hand backhand, and said earnestly, "Mother knows that you have been worrying about the rumors in the city, but Mother doesn't want you to recruit people casually in order to stay in the Su family and compete for the palm seal."
"Isn't Ning Yi also found in this way?" Su Tan'er mentioned that Ning Yi who died unexpectedly before he met him in the future, sighed softly in his heart, and then swept away the haze in his eyes, "Zhou Ji told me There is no malice, we have already decided to sign a contract before we get married, and we will divorce him after I get the palm print, so that we can not only silence the second room, but also quell the rumors in the city."
Sometimes the heart is always like this.
If Su Tan'er hadn't told Yao Ping that she and Zhou Ji had settled down, Yao Ping might have taken the initiative to match them up, but when she suddenly learned that Zhou Ji took the initiative to marry Su's family, she felt muttered in her heart, always suspecting that he had other plans. As pictured.
This matter was only a verbal agreement. Yao Ping knew that the matter was serious, so she repeatedly told Geng Nursing House and Xiao Chan not to spread the word, and she quietly went back to her room to discuss this matter with Su Boyong.
Su Boyong's face sank like water, and his calm and prestige instantly lowered the temperature of the whole study a lot. After a long silence, he called his confidant Ah Da, and said coldly: "You went to the south of the city to investigate the details of a person these days, he claimed to be Zhou Ji, whose name is Huai'an, said that he took refuge in the old land of Yanbei."
Although Ah Da didn’t understand, but since the master explained it like this, then he has his reasons.
So he folded his fists and bowed, and accepted the order.
After Ah Da left, Su Boyong's face was still a little ugly, he turned his eyes to look at Yao Ping, frowned and said: "I remember that the Lou family in Lin'an City had trade relations with Beidi, you turn around and ask Tan'er to write a book, The lady from the Lou family can help me find out about the Yanbei Zhou family."
It's about her daughter's happiness, so Yao Ping naturally agreed.
After all, this Young Master Zhou who met for the first time is very different from Ning Yi who knows everything. No matter how satisfactory the first impression is, Yao Ping does not want to marry her daughter off rashly.
You must know that it was the result of several people's deliberation to find Ning Yi to marry.
Zhou Ji's personality is not as weak as Ning Yi's, and he has no grasp in the hands of the Su family.
Even though Tan'er repeatedly emphasized that Zhou Ji had no ill intentions towards her, as a mother, Yao Ping still couldn't believe it all.
Marriage is a major event in life, and Zhou Ji doesn't want to do it too hastily.
He is very clear that if he wants to help Su Tan'er suppress the rumors in the market, he must let the city know about it.
So after saying goodbye to Su Tan'er, Zhou Ji returned to Xiaocang Mountain to dig out part of the hidden gold, and ordered a large number of gifts in Jiangning City.
After relying on these vendors, he unintentionally revealed his intention to propose marriage to the Su family.
He broke the secret by 'accidentally', and repeatedly told others to keep it secret for him, then looked at these shopkeepers and shop assistants who promised to keep it secret, and chewed the back of his tongue.
In the afternoon, I ran around more than ten commercial firms, and when Zhou Ji returned to the Xiushui River, the sky had already begun to darken. The moment he opened the door, Zhou Ji paused, and his slightly frowned brows eased away. Come, close the door as if nothing happened, and return to the house.
As the two candlesticks were lit, a hazy figure appeared on the door and window of the room.
Ada carefully walked out of the bushes by the river, slipped all the way to the next door to Zhou Ji, just about to turn over and jump on the top of the wall, when he suddenly felt something grabbing the hem of his clothes, and when he turned his head, he saw a big white goose with its wings spread out desperately. Biting the hem of his clothes, there were two cattail cattails flapping their wings and running towards him while screaming obediently.
As if alerted by the noise in the courtyard, a candle was lit in the tile-roofed house next to it. Ah Da had already inquired about it during the day, and there was only one woman surnamed Nie living alone in this small fenced courtyard. Stay with people less.
Zhou Ji just moved here a few days ago. According to the neighbors, the two people have never met before, and it seems that they have even met face to face.
Ada was holding on to the wall with one hand, and reached out with the other hand to try to pull away the big goose that was biting the corner of his clothes, but the other two had already surrounded him.
In desperation, he had no choice but to take off a brick from the wall and jump off. The brick was almost on the head of the goose. He heard a wail accompanied by the woman's mournful cry, and the goose, which was holding on to the corner of his clothes desperately, fell to the ground.
The two big geese next to him became even more irritable, chasing after them all the way, Ada had no choice but to flee, all the way out of the Xiushui River.
separated by a wall.
Zhou Ji stood in a corner of the courtyard, dumbfounded listening to the farce coming from next door.
From the moment he opened the door, he felt that someone was peeping in the dark. He had just been in Jiangning for less than ten days, and he had never had any enemies.
Even if the stolen family gold was revealed, the Wu family would not be able to suspect him in advance.
But apart from the Wu family, who else would be interested in him?
Suspicious in his heart, after entering the door, he put his coat on the sword box, then slipped out of the door quietly, hid in a corner of the courtyard, watched as he climbed up the wall, and then took half of his palm of the blue brick.
"Dabai~! Dabai~~"
The two big geese who chased after a long distance but failed to catch up with the 'rogue' wandered back to the yard. A woman dressed in coarse cloth but could not hide her beauty was holding the big white goose that had died. .
Since the personal servant girl got married, she was the only one left to live in this small courtyard, and the only ones who accompanied her were these big geese who had been with her for many years and a small amount of chickens and ducks.
Just when she was heartbroken, she suddenly heard a soft sigh from beside her. Wiping her tears, she turned her eyes subconsciously, and saw a young man who lived next door and had never seen him falling from the wall.
She didn't react until then, she was so frightened that she almost sat on the ground.
Zhou Ji patted the other two big geese who were approaching, glanced at Nie Yunzhu who was pretending to be calm, and smiled wryly, "Miss Nie Nie, just now that person wanted to climb over the wall into my courtyard, your big goose is actually Lay a shot for me, how about I buy it for money, how about it?"
Although the two hadn't met each other very much, they were considered neighbors. Nie Yunzhu also saw Ah Da's movement over the wall in the room just now, so he knew that what Zhou Ji said was true, but he shook his head and refused: "Neighborhood!" Mutual aid is a matter of course, Mr. Zhou Zhou doesn't have to worry about it."
Zhou Ji swallowed regretfully, looked at the big white goose in Nie Yunzhu's arms, and said without giving up, "I don't know how the girl plans to deal with this big goose."
Nie Yunzhu is no longer a little girl who hurts the spring and the autumn. During the years of redeeming herself from the art museum, she deeply felt that life is not easy. She shook her head and smiled bitterly: "What else can I do? I will cook it later and use it to feed my hunger."
Zhou Ji's eyes lit up.
Originally thought that the woman with outstanding temperament in front of her would say something "elegant" like "burying a goose with a plaque", but she didn't expect Jing and him to go together.
So he nodded and said: "If you don't give up, can I help you?"
Seeing this, Zhou Ji no longer persisted. He was deeply influenced by modern concepts, but he also understood the cultural differences between ancient and modern times. The words he just said were indeed a little meng, so he planned to resign and leave.
However, when he was about to turn around, he was suddenly called down by Nie Yunzhu.
Nie Yunzhu recalled his "unique" craftsmanship, and asked a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Zhou can also cook?"
"The stewed goose in an iron pot is a must!"
Zhou Ji gave a thumbs up and nodded confidently.
At any rate, he has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years. Although he is not as crazy about food as Hong Qigong, he has also sneaked into the palace to steal wine and taste dishes, and he still has a little confidence in his cooking skills.
Same confidence as Zhou Ji.
Nie Yunzhu is also very 'confident' in her cooking skills.
Finally handed Dabai to Zhou Ji, and ate two big bowls with tears in his eyes.
Zhou Ji's "nostalgia" for the goose stewed in iron pot is far greater than the pursuit of food, so he didn't eat much, but watched Nie Yunzhu make two bowls with a smile, and noticed that Nie Yunzhu Hongxia whispered in the ear, and the tableware gradually slowed down, just got up to say goodbye.
After an afternoon and a night of fermenting, the news that someone prepared ten carts of gifts to go to the Su family to propose marriage was spread throughout Jiangning amid the rumors of "Su Nv Kefu".
Some people thought that the news was intentionally sent out by the Su family to ease public opinion in the city.
Some people are also curious about Su Tan'er rejecting Wu Qihao in the street the day before yesterday, and where is the son from now, who dares to propose marriage to the Su family?
Wu Qihao, who has been paying attention to the news of the Su family, was even more furious when he heard the rumors. He overturned the table in front of him, and said harshly to the servants beside him: "Send someone to take Yang Yi outside the city. Find him, tell him there is a big deal, and ask him if he dares to take it!"
Looking at the back of the servant leaving, Wu Qihao said fiercely, "Su Tan'er, Su Tan'er! Do you think you can erase the rumor of 'Kefu' by just finding someone? It's really ridiculous!"
Death of a Ning Yi can make you so passive.
If another one dies, I'll see how you turn around!
At the same time, Zhou Ji didn't know that a certain dude who didn't know how to live or die had already plotted to kill him.
At this time, he was already riding a tall horse, leading a convoy of more than a dozen carriages from the south of the city to the east of the city. Under the crowd of pedestrians all the way, he handed in the invitation and entered Su's house.
Su Zhongkan and his son, the second roommate of the Su family, never thought that in just one day, Su Tan'er, who was already on the verge of marrying out, found an obviously extraordinary son from somewhere, willing to join the Su family.
Because Su Tan'er had communicated with Su Yu in advance, Mr. Su's expression was natural, and he didn't show any surprise.
Su Wenxing put his hands on his chest, stood behind his father, shrunk his neck and muttered, "Such a lot of gifts must have been organized by Su Tan'er himself, and deliberately made a big noise, trying to quell the rumors for himself."
Su Zhongkan turned his head and glared at his son.
Many people can see such a straightforward thing.
But this Mr. Zhou in front of him is really extraordinary, especially the heroic spirit between his brows and the detachment in his conversation. How can anyone just pretend to be it?
This is a marriage!
Not getting married.
Su Zhongkan stared at Zhou Ji full of puzzlement, trying to find any flaws in him, but the man in front of him had a certain degree of advance and retreat, and a certain aura inadvertently revealed made people feel awe and dare not question him. .
Su Yu is an old man, so he naturally saw that Zhou Ji's financial resources and self-cultivation are not fake. He often looks at his granddaughter with kindness in his eyes. If the fake show is real, it can be regarded as a good match.
The old man has already agreed, and Su Tan'er himself has no objection. After Zhou Ji served tea to Yao Ping, it was considered that the marriage was settled.
As for the rest of the process, you only need to go through it according to local customs, and you can get married.
It's a shame that the journey went smoothly.
Hmm. Except for the two pairs of resentful eyes at the corner of the table.
Zhou Ji slightly nodded at Su Zhongkan and Su Wenxing, and gave him a kind smile.
Su Wenxing dared to 'provoke' him when he saw this son-in-law who came out of nowhere! He was even more furious, and his whole face was huddled together, which reminded Zhou Ji of a certain animation he had seen in modern society.
Tsk~ It looks more and more like it.
"Thanks."
Just when Zhou Ji was thinking about Guoman, Su Tan'er whispered suddenly in his ear, the light voice had a certain sweetness, Zhou Ji turned around, and met her eyes, until her eyes flashed With a trace of panic, he looked away just now, and did not respond to Su Tan'er's thanks.
Because Zhou Ji is alone and is getting married for the first time, he has no experience at all.
A lot of matters are entrusted to the Su family. Marriage is different from marriage. You need to register with the Su family first. Although the etiquette is not as cumbersome as marriage, it can't be done in a day or two.
Zhou Ji's 'property' is still in the house by the Xiushui River. He was cautious and declined the invitation to stay at the Su's house for one night. After staying for dinner, he said goodbye and left the Su's house.
While walking out of Su Mansion, Zhou Ji once again felt the peeping eyes.
Different from the man who climbed the courtyard wall last time, this time his eyes were full of gloomy malice.
Obviously, the comer is not good.
Zhou Ji frowned slightly, wandering alone in the city, inadvertently turned into a seldom-visited alley.
Yang Yi thought that Zhou Ji was looking for an empty alley to go to the bathroom, so he was happy, looked at the cold and deep alley entrance, and asked Da Lang to surround him from the other end, while he drew out a short blade and opened the door in front of him. In the gradually darkening night, Zhou Ji followed him in.
(A TV series in Amway, "The Age of Awakening", I wonder if everyone has watched it?)
(I was in tears all the time while watching. Although I didn’t really cry, I could feel the tears rolling in my eyes. It was so touching.)
