Tongzhuang Shili Rice Flower Fragrance

Xu Qionghua is not doing well recently, she is the same age as Ming Rou, Ming Rou is now 16 years old, she has already passed Jiji's age, and she is no exception, after this age, the family has started to be busy with her marriage.

Generally speaking, if a girl is not pregnant, if she is facing the person she likes, no one will think that it is too early or too late, but if she passively accepts her parents' arrangement, she will feel that it is not the right time to come. .

Right now, Xu Qionghua is facing such a situation. When she was very young, her family arranged a marriage for her. Now that she is old, it is time to deal with this matter.

The one who married Xu Qionghua was the county magistrate of Pingle County, Liu Xuemin, the son of the county captain Liu Chengye, who was 33 years old. It stands to reason that he should have married at this age, but because the older generations of the two families had already given this marriage to Xu Qionghua. The appointment was made because Xu Qionghua was too young to get married, but what I didn't expect was that the Liu family was not in a hurry.

The position of county lieutenant can be regarded as an official second only to the county magistrate and county magistrate in Pingle County. He is in charge of law and order and arresting robbers. Competing for the object of wooing.

However, what Xu Qionghua didn't know was that Liu Xuemin, the son of the county Wei's family, actually already had a lover, and this lover was Fushuiyao, the eldest daughter of the county magistrate's family.

Fu Shuiyao and Liu Xuemin, because of their respective fathers, the two families often communicate with each other. The two have known each other since they were young. Miss Fu was very assertive when she was very young, and she even became a county magistrate when she grew up. Liu Xuemin's right-hand man, Liu Xuemin's admiration for her grew from adoration to love, and as the days passed, he couldn't stop.

According to his father Liu Chengye's aptitude and seniority, there is no possibility of further advancement in this life. Liu Chengye can see his situation clearly, and he doesn't want to jump up and down, but he has a quick mind and guards his position as county captain. Move around, trying to maximize the benefits in this position.

Liu Xuemin was deeply influenced by his father Liu Chengye since he was a child, and he probably knew his future way out. He thought that if he could climb up the tree of the county magistrate, it would be a good thing for the two families to get closer. Fushuiyao is bound to win.

For many years, Liu Chengye took advantage of his position to obtain a lot of benefits for himself, but he also operated secretly and secretly, not daring to let the county magistrate Fu Gao know.

With the help of Fushuiyao, the magistrate of Fu County has kept this bowl of water steady over the years. No one can offend him. There is no stain or fault, and in the hearts of the people, he can barely be regarded as a good official.

This made Liu Chengye disagree very much. Pingle County is far away from the capital, which can be said to be far away from the emperor of Shangao. As long as the taxes collected are paid on time, the higher authorities will rarely pay attention to this remote place. Except for a few people in Pingle County, The once-a-year flood disaster is not considered a rich place, but if you are thoughtful, you can still get a lot of oil and water.

From Liu Chengye's point of view, Fugao is too timid. Some grain merchants in the county who need to cooperate in major projects need to be replaced every year, for fear of offending anyone. If he decides, who needs such trouble, naturally who To whom do you give more benefits? Throughout the ages, it is common for people to die for money and birds for food. Moreover, the officials in the surrounding counties and counties do not seek benefits for themselves.

Liu Chengye thought that if his son could live up to his expectations, win Fushuiyao's favor, and get married with the county magistrate's family, then the matter arranged by the county magistrate for Fushuiyao would then be transferred to his son. It's not up to the Liu family to decide what to do.

It's just that the Xu family, who had been engaged to Liu Xuemin since childhood, didn't know how to solve it. After all, the county magistrate's daughter was not something they could marry if they wanted to.

Although Fu Shuiyao is a few years older than Liu Xuemin, if she were placed in an ordinary family, she would probably make irresponsible remarks, but she has a good family background and is capable, no matter how old she is, there are still many descendants of aristocratic families Go round and round.

If Fu Shuiyao could fall in love with her, the Xu family would find any reason to dismiss her, but they were afraid that the Fu family would not appreciate her and offend the Xu family again, and the chickens would be all gone.

Moreover, the Xu family is in Pingle County. Although it can't be said to be one of the best families, it is still a family that can be called a name. The third lady of the Xu family is good-looking and at the right age. It is more than enough to match Liu Xuemin. Great-grandmother is still alive now, if he is not sure, Liu Chengye still doesn't want to directly offend his ancestors, so let's cancel the marriage.

In the hearts of the father and son, it would be great if they could get the blessing of being equal.

Now that the status of a businessman is low, and the Liu family belongs to the government, Xu Qionghua, as the youngest of the Ming family, might be willing to be a concubine, Liu Xuemin secretly thought.

Thinking of the little girl I met by chance last time, and now she has grown into a slim girl, so bright that people can't take their eyes off, Liu Xuemin's original preference for Fushuiyao slowly turned back, if Fushuiyao is For a thorny Xiao Qiang, then Xu Qionghua is a water lotus for the Spring Festival. Liu Xuemin doesn't want to miss the two kinds of beauty.

-------------------------------------

In the private room of Juxian Teahouse, two men sat facing each other.

Facing the door was Du Xian with a small white face. Now that he had grown a beard, he was much fatter than a few years ago, and he looked a little more scheming.

And the one with his back to the door, with a dark complexion and full beard, was none other than Wei Liu Chengye of Pingle County.

If people in the city saw it, they would be shocked. How could a county lieutenant in the government and a son-in-law who lived on poverty, two people who could not make a living in eight lifetimes, sit and chat so intimately together.

"Is your eldest daughter still unwilling to come back?" Liu Chengye asked.

"Let her mother go to pick her up but she doesn't want to go back. She wanted to send someone to take her back by force, but she was kicked out as soon as she arrived outside the Zhuangzi. She was very worried. Earlier, she talked with the county magistrate in private. At first, Mr. Fu He also looked unreasonable, and later heard that he had met the little girl at some point, but recently I ran into him a lot, which was interesting."

Liu Chengye chuckled: "Aren't men like this when they were young? They are in a hurry. I think you might as well hit the iron while it's hot. You've got more money than his father. Now the higher-ups are short of money. Give me some money to get away with it. Anyone can wear the hat of the magistrate of the county, and looking at Fugao, he thinks that his son will inherit his father's career when the time comes, and it is always impossible to go wrong with him."

When Du Xian heard this, he couldn't help rubbing his hands and said: "Well, let me hurry up on Mingrou's side, if I really win Fushuiliu, those orders from the government are low in and high out, so I don't worry about making money. "

"I didn't tell you at the beginning, why did you drive her out? Isn't this just letting the tiger go back to the mountain? That old boy Mingquan has been shrewd all his life, so it's impossible not to have a backup." Liu Chengye sipped his tea and said with some regret.

Du Xian couldn't help regretting: "At that time, I thought to let her go out for a few days. No one took her in outside. If she couldn't survive, she had to come back obediently and beg me. At that time, no matter how hard her bones were, she couldn't let her go. I was sure, but I didn't expect that Mingquan would actually put the treasure on that little bastard Ye Qiuniang. Now that I see that big piece of fat in Tongzhuang, I want to eat it but can't, it really makes me sleepless. "

"Little brother, one step is wrong, there is no rush, take your time, and you have to figure out a way to let the family flourish. Your old Du family's succession depends on you. Father-in-law Chongming is looking forward to the future." Hope, if he returns to his hometown in his later years, those godsons may wish for him to die, and heirs of his own family blood are reliable, leaving one or two adoptives to him at that time can be regarded as repaying his elder brother for his help all these years." Liu Chengye A pair of words is sincere and sincere.

Du Xian was silent, and when he raised his head, his eyes were full of scarlet: "When I was young, my family was poor, so my elder brother had no choice but to be sent in as an eunuch. I haven't heard from him for many years. I thought he would have died in that place where people cannibalized him. If Brother Liu hadn't brought him The news, the three of us brothers may not be able to see each other again in this lifetime, and these matters of the Ming family were only successfully accomplished with the help of Brother Liu, and I am very grateful."

Liu Chengye hurriedly said: "You don't have to be like this, my family doesn't talk about two families. Father-in-law Chongming is really a kind person. If I hadn't been rescued by my father-in-law back then, I wouldn't be able to live today, and my future glory and wealth will still be in vain. Rely on him to strategize, now that father-in-law is in charge, the three of us are here in Pingle County, so there is nothing to worry about."

"That's true. If we can establish a relationship with the Fu family, the entire Pingle County will be our world. Fu Gao is too timid. He might as well be as courageous as his daughter. I think Fu Shui Liu is more courageous than his father." , we hold him in our hands, and we are afraid that we will not bow our heads when the time comes." Du Xian said triumphantly.

"Well, Min'er also misses Fu Shuiyao, so I don't know what Fu Gao is thinking in his heart. I have hinted at it a few times, this old boy always pretends to be confused, saying that he will let his daughter make up her own mind. These days, the marriage of the children is not decided by the parents, and I don't want to let go of the Xu family after thinking about it, I'm afraid it will have to work hard."

"Don't panic, it should be ours, and none of them can escape."

Liu Chengye nodded and said, "Do you think the butler introduced by Eunuch Chongming is reliable?"

"If my elder brother didn't say that he is an eunuch, I wouldn't dare to put him in the backyard. This kid looks like a dog. Fortunately, he knows the basics, otherwise I'm afraid that my head will be green." Du Xian laughed loudly. laugh.

"A man wouldn't be a man if he didn't have that thing, how boring life is-" At this point, Liu Chengye suddenly realized that Du Xian's elder brother, his savior Du Chong, was an eunuch, so he hurriedly stopped, He quickly changed his words: "There is no worry in the backyard of the house, and you can work hard outside with confidence."

Du Xian naturally listened to what he said accidentally just now, his face couldn't help turning green and then white, and said with a cheeky smile: "That's natural."
