The Red Chamber Collection

One day, Daiyu asked Zijuan to find Wang Fuan.When Wang Fu'an heard that the lady was looking for him, he hurried over and talked away from Daiyu.

"I don't know what the lady wants me to do!"

"The patriarch sit down and talk!" Daiyu said again: "Zicuckoo, pour tea!"

Wang Fuan sat down and waited for Daiyu to speak.Daiyu doesn't tease Zijuan like she used to. She wants Zijuan to do something.Zijuan knew it in her heart and walked away consciously, but she was grateful to Daiyu in her heart.Although she is young and usually weak, she can be decisive in her own affairs, she is considered a hero among women.

Seeing Zijuan leave, Daiyu said: "You are the head of the Wang family. Although Zijuan is not in your genealogy, it is still considered your Wang family, right?!"

Hearing this, Wang Fu'an said, "It's like this in the genealogy. Girls are generally not recorded. But there are precedents. For example, there is a female ancestor eight generations away from me, and it is recorded in the genealogy!"

"That's the story of Guangzong Yaozu! Every family's genealogy is different!"

"Miss is still well-informed, that's true."

"I came to you today because of Zijuan's marriage, not about family history. Please forgive me for being abrupt!"

"What did Miss say? Although Zijuan belongs to the Wang family, Miss is her master. I have discussed this matter with several elders in the family. Although Jia's family is kind enough to release Zijuan, I never thought that Miss is still here. Now it’s not that she came out, she’s still Miss’ maid. Zijuan’s marriage is entirely up to Miss!”

"How can I, a girl, take on such a big responsibility? If the patriarch shirks it, wouldn't it delay Zicuckoo?"

Hearing this, Wang Fu'an hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands to Daiyu, and said: "Miss misunderstood, it's not that the Wang family doesn't care about Zijuan's affairs, but that they dare not interfere. Now that the lady says so, why not entrust me to do it! How about next?"

"That's exactly what I mean!" Daiyu laughed and said, "Now I have shown another person to Zijuan. I don't know what? The patriarch has an idea for the little girl!"

"Don't dare, Miss is too modest! Even though I'm the head of the clan, I don't know as much as Miss. If Miss continues to talk like this in the future, it will only make me a fool feel ashamed."

"The patriarch doesn't need to humiliate himself. I think that even though I'm here, I don't know people well. I'm not as familiar as the patriarch. This young man named Li Xiao, what does the patriarch think?"

"Speaking of him, he's a good young man. He's just from a small family, and his family is poor. On weekdays, there are those ignorant and arrogant people who bully his family's orphans and widows. Miss, does she like his kindness?"

"Well! He is an honest man, and he is not afraid of being poor. Zijuan lives with him, and I naturally don't let Zijuan suffer. I just try to make her live a better life. Now we have some clues about this matter. There is a lot of money Earned. What’s more, if others bully him, if Zijuan can get along with him, ask the patriarch to support him in the future!”

"Miss's words are reasonable. If Zijuan and Xiaoxiao can succeed, then those who bully him will not dare in the future. I'm afraid they will come to flatter him! Now don't say Miss, it is Zijuan, in our eight villages Who would dare to say no? If you follow Miss's opinion, then the matter between Xiao Xiao and Zijuan is a nail in the coffin!"

"I just want to ask the patriarch's idea!"

"Miss's actions are really admirable to me. Please accept my worship!" Said Wang Fu'an knelt down and kowtowed, Daiyu hurriedly stepped aside.

"As the saying goes, the poor have no roots, and the rich have no seedlings! Now Xiaoxiao has such a benevolent lady, which can be regarded as the virtues he has accumulated in his previous life! Then do it according to the lady's wishes, according to the heart, this is excellent Younger!"

The patriarch discussed the details with Daiyu again, and Daiyu said: "It's up to the patriarch to make up his mind, just don't try to save trouble. You don't need to save money. As for the money that Li Xiao's family needs to pay, we will pay all of it." I hope the patriarch will make this matter more respectable and lively, don't wrong Zijuan! I have been with me for so long, if it is not good, I will have no face to see her!"

"Miss, don't worry, don't say that she is still with the lady, even if the lady doesn't come here, people from all over the world, who doesn't want to come and see how the girl from the rich family gets married? Can the wedding be lively? I'm afraid Miss will spend more on candy!" Wang Fu'an said this, making Daiyu laugh.

"How much is the candy worth? But at the banquet, it costs more. As long as it is the Wang family, they have to come that day. There is no need for a family to come and give a share."

"Miss, how much does it cost?" Wang Fu'an asked in surprise.

"I don't care about this patriarch, everything is lively. If there is any team that can sing well, please come!"

Wang Fuan agreed to go one by one.He consulted with Wang Xinbai and other elders, and the elders of Wang were speechless when they heard that Daiyu was spending so much. "I've seen it all in my life, what is a lady!"

So they discussed what to do.He also called Wang Fuquan, who was eloquent, so he went to Li Xiao's house to discuss the matter.

······

"Xiao Xiao, hurry up, your Uncle Fu Quan is here!" Li Xiao's mother, Li Chang, was small but very active.

"Uncle Fuquan, sit down!" Li Xiao hurriedly came out of the room, and handed the pier to Wang Fuquan.

"My nephew Xiao Xiao is getting more and more promising!" Wang Fuquan looked at Li Xiao and said.

Li Chang's brows were beaming with joy, how do you say this, who is Wang Fuquan? !They are outsiders!Familiar people outside.By saying this, he undoubtedly gave their orphans and widows enough face.He said: "Uncle, why do you have time to come over today? Is your business okay?!"

"Let's do it!" Wang Fuquan smiled: "Old sister-in-law, I am here today to serve as a matchmaker for your family, Li Xiao, I wonder if you would like it?!"

Li Chang thought that there was something wrong with her ears, she wondered: "Uncle, I didn't understand, what do you mean?"

"The old sister-in-law is pretending to be confused!" Wang Fuquan leaned back and said seriously to Li Changshi: "I'm here to be your matchmaker for Li Xiao. What do you think of my niece Zijuan?!"

"Ah?" The mother and son exclaimed at the same time.They looked at each other, dumbfounded.Li Xiao told his mother about this, and Li Chang also said, you must be careful in what you say and do in the future, what kind of person is Zicuckoo? !Although the lady made fun of Zicuckoo, why don't you know that Zicuckoo won't be angry with you? !We can't afford to offend!

"Why, you don't agree?" Wang Fuquan pretended to be surprised.

"He, his uncle, don't coax us! Zijuan, how could he fall in love with our Li Xiao? These two are the same every day. If you want outsiders to listen, don't you say that we toads want to eat swan meat? Don't It made people laugh out loud!"

"Tch, if you want to say that my nephew needs to look good, Zhadi? My niece is only thanks to the young lady to be what she is today. If I hadn't sent her to Jia's mansion back then, would she be like this now? In my opinion, old sister-in-law, the two are a good match. The lady said that all the expenses for Zijuan coming here are hers!"

"God, what kind of blessings have we cultivated!" Li Chang heard that Wang Fuquan said it so seriously, it didn't seem like a joke, and then wept with joy.He hurriedly went to pour water again, "Uncle, how do you say this, I don't have a handy thank you gift, what should I do?!"

"Old sister-in-law, we will be a family from now on, why are you still cheating on me?!"

"Yes, yes, uncle, what about the family, what about the family!" Li Chang didn't know how to thank him, so after thinking about it, he hurriedly said to Li Xiao: "Hurry up, go to Jishang to get half a catty of wine, and then weigh half a catty." Jin Rou, let your uncle drink two cups here today!"

"No, no, old sister-in-law, I know your family is not well-off, why spend money?! From now on, we are a family, we should be more considerate to each other!"

"Uncle, how can we not celebrate such a big happy event!" Li Changshi's eyes were red, "I'm not a respectful woman. If he knew his father was here, would he let you go?"

"Old sister-in-law, if you say that, then I really won't leave today! Don't be sad, this is a happy event, you're crying!"

"Hey, happy event, happy event, I should be happy! I'm too excited!" Li Changshi wiped away tears and said with a smile: "Uncle, you give me an idea, I want to kowtow to thank you! I don't know What kind of etiquette, what can be said and what can't be said?"

The truth is, being sincere is rewarded with good!
