Cheng Zhao is dressed in blue clothes, with clear and handsome features, and a temperament as gentle as jade. No one who looks at him will feel repulsive.
Mrs. Leng stared at him for a while, breathed a sigh of relief, and then gently touched her daughter.
Miss Leng twitched the corners of her lips and turned her head, with a stubborn look in her eyes.
"Ahem, sir, madam, please sit down." Leng Yuanwai was the first to speak, "Come here, serve tea to the two of you."
This tea is the finest Maojian. Take a sip and the aftertaste will be endless.
Cheng Wanwan said with a smile: "My nephew and I came to Huzhou for business, and we never thought that we would stumble upon such a great thing. My husband's surname is Zhao, and my nephew's surname is Cheng Mingzhao. He is nineteen years old this year. He is not yet married, and he is not committing adultery." Those who break the law have no bad habits."
Mrs. Leng and Officer Leng looked at each other, with joy in their eyes.
Having just seen so many beggars downstairs, the two of them were almost desperate, fearing that their future uncle would be a beggar.
Fortunately, it was a handsome young man with a jade-like complexion who grabbed the hydrangea. This young man had a very good temperament and was barely worthy of their daughter.
"Let me ask you a question," Cheng Wanwan said, "With a family like the Leng family, how could they choose a son-in-law by throwing embroidered balls?"
"It's all tears." Mrs. Leng sighed, "My daughter was not in good health when she was born. No medicines worked. Later, she went to a fortune teller. The gentleman said that my daughter should not have been born. She belongs to the Leng family and was reincarnated as the eldest lady of the Leng family because of an accident. Because she is not from the Leng family, the marriage cannot be carried out as usual and can only depend on God's will. If she chooses the destined person, her body will slowly change in the future. Get better, but if you make the wrong choice, your body will lose weight day by day..."
Cheng Wanwan understood what she was doing. She was worried about her parents the most. For the sake of her daughter's health, she had no choice but to take this last step.
However, my body recovered, but my marriage was in a mess. Wouldn’t the rest of my life be a mess too?
She took a sip of tea and laughed: "It seems that my nephew is Miss Leng's destined person. We are from Chengjia Village, Ping'an County. Our ancestors have been farmers for eighteen generations. It has been passed down for so many years. Our family has three fields. More than ten acres, Miss Leng married me, and she works in the fields and weeds every day. If she exercises like this for a few years, her body and bones should slowly get better."
Mrs. Leng's expression was extremely stiff: "Planting, farming?"
The cold officer's eyes widened: "My daughter has thin skin and tender flesh. She can't carry it on her shoulders or lift it with her hands. She has people to take care of her for food, clothing, housing and transportation. How can she work hard in the fields!"
"If Miss Leng really marries my nephew, she will definitely be farming." Cheng Wanwan looked innocent, "It's like this in our village. If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog. You can't If you treat your mother-in-law like a young lady, you might as well not marry her at all."
Mrs. Leng's thoughts quickly changed: "Our Leng family will provide money to buy a house for the young couple in Huzhou, and also find a good job for your nephew..."
"No way." Cheng Wanwan waved her hand, "My nephew is the eldest son in the family. He is responsible for inheriting the incense. He must also stay in the village to take care of the children. From now on, Miss Leng will be Cheng's parents-in-law. The eldest sister-in-law is like mother. My dozen younger brothers and sisters also need Miss Leng to take care of her. In fact, Miss Leng is so comfortable being served by others every day that she becomes ill..."
The faces of Mrs. Leng and Member Leng turned dark.
The young man who snatched the hydrangea looked quite pleasing to the eye. Why was his family background so poor? How could they be willing to marry their noble daughter to a remote rural area to farm.
It would be better if he was really robbed by a beggar, at least the beggar could be at his mercy.
"Cough cough cough cough!"
Miss Leng suddenly covered her lips and coughed violently.
The maid next to her was so frightened that her face turned pale: "It's not good, the eldest lady is coughing up blood."
"Leng Yuanwai, it seems that I am not Miss Leng's destined person." Cheng Zhao stepped forward, "It was because of a misunderstanding that the hydrangea came into my hands just now. I think that Leng Yuanwai should throw it again before it can be thrown." Choose the one who is destined.”
"No more. I will never throw hydrangeas again." Although Miss Leng was weak, her voice was strong. "Father, mother, I want to marry you. I don't want to get married in my whole life."
She turned and ran, and the maids quickly followed her.
Mrs. Leng sighed and shook her head: "This is such a big deal, eh..."
"Otherwise, let's cancel it." Leng Yuanwai also had a headache, "Mrs. Zhao, if Mr. Cheng has nothing to do, why not stay for a light meal."
Cheng Zhao hurriedly said: "I still have important things to do, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, he left quickly.
Cheng Wanwan greeted Leng Yuanwai and left.
As soon as the two left, Leng Yuanwai realized something was wrong. If the boy was really a farmer, why did he speak sourly, more like a scholar?
Also, the woman just now looked like she really wanted to get married. After the Leng family reneged on their plans, the woman didn't bother much and left directly.
Why does it feel like he dislikes his daughter and deliberately rejects the marriage at the expense of advancement?
"Snapped!"
Leng Yuanwai slapped his palm on the table.
He said, "You guys, follow us and check the identities of the aunt and nephew."
"Yes, sir."
The two servants immediately went downstairs and followed Cheng Wanwan and his party.
As soon as Cheng Wanwan and Cheng Zhao left, they were surrounded by Shen Zheng, Lu Yingxue and others, who started asking questions.
"Is Brother Cheng really going to become the son-in-law of the Leng family?"
"Sister Wanwan, has the wedding date been set? Can we have a wedding banquet in Huzhou?"
"Brother Cheng, you are really unkind. The position of the Leng family's son-in-law is obviously mine."
Cheng Zhao lightly raised his eyelids and said quietly: "If nothing happens, the Leng family will hold a second embroidery ball toss, and you will have a second chance."
Shen Zheng was startled: "So, the Leng family doesn't like Brother Cheng?"
"Anyway, the wedding is cancelled." Cheng Wanwan smiled and said, "Don't mention this matter again. Let's go back to the inn. You guys can review your homework in the inn and try to get on the list."
With the exam approaching, she had better not let the children go out for the next few days. She wouldn't know how to deal with it if something like this happened again.
Fortunately, Mr. Leng and Mrs. Leng are easier to fool, and Miss Leng is unwilling to marry, otherwise it would not be so easy to get out of this matter.
Cheng Wanwan looked back and saw that there were still many people downstairs who were still unfinished and had not left. They didn't know when the Leng family would start throwing embroidery balls for the second time, but this matter had nothing to do with them.
Back at the inn, the children went back to their rooms to study, while Cheng Wanwan was going to go shopping in the market, mainly to explore the market for skin care products.
Lu Yingxue is from Huzhou and spontaneously leads the way.
Finally, we stopped at the door of a simple and exquisite shop. The signboard said, "Beauty Shop". It looked like a place selling rouge and gouache.
However, most of the cosmetics in this shop are cosmetics. The cosmetics of the ancients are nothing more than rouge, eyebrow ink, lip balm, makeup powder, etc. These are for grooming, not moisturizing and skin care.
"Sister Wanwan, this should be what you are looking for."
Lu Yingxue picked up a small porcelain white bottle and handed it to her hand.
There are three words written on the porcelain bottle, Snow Skin Cream.
The shopkeeper in the shop immediately came over and introduced: "Madam, you have a good eye. This snow cream is made from pearls from the Dadonghai Sea ground into powder and mixed with milk. When applied to the skin, it will make the skin as delicate and shiny as white snow. This is The last bottle is in the store, madam, don’t miss the opportunity.”
Pearls and milk were top-notch goods in ancient times.
Cheng Wanwan couldn't help but ask: "How much does this bottle cost?"
