For several days, Deng Nanxun only stayed in his room, showing no interest in anything. The youngest son of the Deng family, who used to be cheerful and cheerful all day long, now seemed like a different person. He was depressed and depressed and was looked down upon by the whole family. Seeing this, Deng's mother was helpless, so she asked Deng Nanxun's two brothers to go and persuade her.
Deng Nanzhi, the eldest member of the Deng family, and Deng Nanhe, the second eldest child, knocked on their brother's door together this afternoon. It took a while before they heard someone walking to open the door.
Seeing that it was his two brothers, Deng Nanxun said feebly: "Eldest brother, second brother."
Seeing that the person just stood in front of the door, saying hello but not making any movement, Deng Nanzhi shook his head and laughed: "What's the matter, your second brother and I can't even enter the house?"
Deng Nanxun then opened all the doors and without saying a word, he turned around and went back to sit down in the house.
Deng Nanhe is a straightforward person, and he really doesn’t understand the use of his younger brother’s insistence on life and death: “Third brother, you’re almost done. The whole family is worried about you. You’re just a girl. Call me later. Mom, if you let me know, the matchmakers around here can find you a dozen different ones, and then we can choose the one you like. Why is a man like this?"
But who would have thought that Deng Nanxun didn't even raise his eyelids, he just stared at the few travel notes on the desk in a trance, as if the old monk had fallen into trance and didn't hear a single sound.
Seeing this, Deng Nanhe reached out and shook his younger brother's shoulder: "Third brother, did you hear that? If you keep doing this, you will be ruined. Not to mention the girl from the Chu family, the other girls don't like you either. He's so quiet, and he's still as lovable as before."...
Deng Nanzhi also advised: "What your second brother said is rude or not. It doesn't help that you are always like this. What are you thinking in your heart? Why don't you talk to us about it? Even if there is no good way, you can always do it." It’s better than keeping it in your heart.”
"Just in case my eldest brother and I come up with something good."
Deng Nanxun then murmured: "What can I do? Miss Chu doesn't like me..."
When Deng Nanhe heard his brother's depressing words, he became a little excited: "Then let's find a girl from another family."
"I don't like it. I don't want anyone except Miss Chu."
"Then go to her, tell her that you have a crush on her, and make her like you too. You will be shameless and seek life and death... Ah, no, anyway, you are not better than you are now. You just hide in the house and never come out for the rest of your life. , this girl knows!"
"Second child."
Deng Nanxun seemed to gain strength all of a sudden, and looked at his second brother with wide eyes: "Really? Second brother thinks I should go find her?"
Deng Nanzhi rubbed his forehead with a headache. His mother-in-law asked the two brothers to persuade the third child to give up the girl from the Chu family. The second child in his family was not afraid of trouble. Instead, he cheered him up and sought life and death... He was really not afraid of trouble. The child is big!
Deng Nanhe was also shocked at this moment and realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing: "Well, it's not the third brother, that's what the second brother said..."
"Second brother is right, Miss Chu must not know my thoughts yet, that's why she behaves like this. I have to tell her. It doesn't matter even if she doesn't like me now, as long as she doesn't hate me to the extreme, as long as she I haven’t found anyone yet, but I still have a chance, thank you, big brother and second brother!”
Deng Nanxun said and ran out like a chicken. Deng Nanhe, the second child, chased and shouted after him for a long time, but he didn't call back: "Lao San, Lao San!"
Mother Deng had just entered the backyard of her house. She wanted to see if her two sons had succeeded in persuading her, but she saw her youngest son running out in a hurry: "Third brother, what are you doing?"
"Auntie, I'm going to find Miss Chu. Don't wait for me for dinner!"
Mother Deng was immediately startled, but she thought there was nothing she could do to stop her. She could only grab her second son who was chasing behind her and said, "What's going on? Third brother, what's going on? I didn't call you two I tried to persuade him, but he still persuaded me to go find someone else. What are you talking about?"
Deng Nanhe, the second oldest child, scratched his head: "Mom, I'm so quick to talk..."
"His father, come over here and something will happen!"
After listening to the second son's narration, Father Deng and Mother Deng felt their heads buzzing: "Second brother, second brother, tell me about you, why are you so unhappy?"
Go get your brother back! "
Deng Nanhe was about to run out, but was stopped by the boss Deng Nanzhi: "Wait a minute, father and mother, even if the second brother chases after him now, Nanxun may have already met the Chu family."
"Well, we can't just let him do whatever he wants."
Deng Nanzhi took the old couple to sit down in the yard, and then said with relief: "Mom and dad, listen to me, now that it's like this, let's not stop it now. In fact, the second brother's idea looks bad. , in fact, it might even have unexpected effects.
No matter why the Chu family rejected this marriage, it would be better to ask the third child to go there and try it on his own. If it doesn't work, he will naturally give up in the future. If it works, it will be a match for a pair of mandarin ducks. "
What the eldest son said was indeed reasonable, but Father Deng still felt that something was wrong: "The Chu family has already asked Mrs. Tan to reject us. Isn't it too rude for the third child to come to the house like this?"
"Then tomorrow my wife and I will bring some gifts and go to Chu's house to make amends."
Mother Deng sighed: "That's all we can do. It's your father and I who should make the apology. It seems that we don't take it seriously enough by sending you juniors there."
But Deng Nanzhi insisted: "Mom, we really have to deal with this matter as juniors. If you and dad come forward and make the troublemakers look away, something bad may be said later. We It doesn't matter if the third child in the family is a husband, but the Chu family belongs to a girl waiting to be married.
It's better for my wife and I to go. If you feel that we don't pay enough attention to it, then bring the second son and the other couple with you. Even if someone looks at it and says something, we can still say that it's just a relationship between our juniors. "
"Boss is right. We are the ones who are wrong about this matter, but we can't spread any unfavorable words about the Chu family girl. Instead, the Chu family thinks that our family wants to use this to force other girls to marry."
Seeing that Deng Nanhe finally figured out a decent way to deal with the aftermath, Deng Nanhe breathed a sigh of relief: "It has to be the eldest brother, otherwise I would have really gotten into a big trouble today. As expected of the three of us, we are the most knowledgeable." The best, I will definitely be on the imperial examination list next year!"
Deng Nanzhi shook his head and said: "I have been studying for more than ten years and took two exams before I became a scholar. How can I be considered a good scholar? Isn't it thanks to my parents and the two of you who are busy with the house?" Only by doing this can I study steadily."
"Brother, what are you talking about? I don't want to read it because I can't read it myself. Naturally, I have to help with the housework."
"Okay, okay, you three are all good sons of me and your father."
Deng Nanxun was deeply afraid of being caught by his parents, so he ran straight to the door of Chu's shop. However, he saw Chu Xiuxiu sitting behind the counter and settling accounts, as well as the waiters and customers in the shop, but they were in trouble. There were outsiders. Now, I'm afraid it's not good for him to come looking for someone like this.
Chu Xiuxiu was settling accounts when she suddenly heard Zhang Dajin, the clerk in the shop, asked in a higher voice: "If the guest needs anything, you can come in and take a look."
Chu Xiuxiu subconsciously raised her head and saw Deng Nanxun wandering in front of her shop. Seeing that he glanced at her but refused to come into the shop, she thought that Chu Li had something to do and asked him to report the news, so she hesitated for a moment. , or got up and walked over.
"Brother Zhang, go and greet the guests. I'll be there."
Then he walked out of the shop, looked at Deng Nanxun and said, "But what's the matter with my cousin Chu Li? I want Mr. Deng to convey it to me?"
Deng Nanxun looked at the passers-by on the street and felt that something was wrong: "Miss Chu, can you take a step to speak?"
Chu Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, then took the lead and walked two steps into the shop: "Master Deng, please follow me."
Then he led Deng Nanxun through his family's shroud shop and all the way to the rack used to dry shrouds in the west courtyard. The embroiderers were all working inside the house. There was no one else here and they were in the open outdoors. The conversation was at its most intense. It couldn't be more suitable.
"There are no outsiders here. If Mr. Deng has anything to do, just talk here."
Deng Nanxun grabbed the clothes beside him, took two deep breaths and said, "Miss Chu, why did you refuse to marry me, but why are you dissatisfied with me?"
Chu Xiuxiu really didn't expect that this man came to her shop just to ask about this matter. For a moment, she didn't know whether to scold him for being rude or stupid.
"Didn't Matchmaker Tan say that? I will be looking for a son-in-law in the future, Mr. Deng..."
"I do not believe."
Before Chu Xiuxiu finished speaking, she was interrupted by Deng Nanxun: "My mother-in-law said, it's Miss Chu, you...it's you who didn't like me. Although I'm not as good as my eldest brother, I'm not as capable as my second brother." , but I, I really like you, can you, can you give me a chance?"
This sudden confession made Chu Xiuxiu's face turn red. She suppressed the turmoil in her heart and pretended to be calm: "I don't know why my aunt said this to you, but no, you are overthinking."
My father only has a daughter like her, so how could she abandon him and get married? This is a good way to recruit a son-in-law. So what if she likes her? How could a good son from an ordinary family become a son-in-law?
"Then why did the matchmaker not say anything about recruiting a son-in-law when she came to your door for the first time, but she made this excuse when she heard that I was the one asking to marry him? I know that my previous behavior made you feel offended. You apologize and you won’t do it again.”
Chu Xiuxiu didn't understand why Deng Nanxun was struggling with whether she didn't like him or whether she rejected him because she wanted to recruit a son-in-law. In her opinion, there was no difference. No matter what the reason was, it was impossible for the two of them. .
"It makes no difference."
"There is a difference. If you refuse because you don't like me, then I want to ask you to give me another chance and get to know me well. I really want to marry you, and I won't marry you unless you do it!"
If it's not because I don't like me, but just because I'm worried about recruiting a son-in-law, then don't worry, I will definitely ask for my parents' consent. "
Chu Xiuxiu had never seen such a difficult person. She spoke as if she had no other choice but to marry him. Just when she didn't know what to do, she saw Jiang Juan who heard the movement in the yard and pushed away the embroidery room. door and walked out.
"Xiuxiu, who are you chatting with?"
Chu Xiuxiu hurriedly ran over: "Sister Jiang family."
When Deng Nanxun heard Chu Xiuxiu calling the man, he thought that this person must be a member of the Chu family. He was afraid that if he continued to speak, it would damage Chu Xiuxiu's reputation if others heard him. He bowed hastily and turned around to take him from Chu Xiuxiu. The road left.
Jiang Juan saw that Chu Xiuxiu's face was a little abnormal, so she asked: "Xiuxiu, are you okay? Who was chatting with you just now, and why did he leave without saying a word?"
"It's Mr. Liang's innkeeper's young master, here to deliver a message for Ah Li... Ah, Ah Li will be back soon. I'll go to the east courtyard to help my cousin make dinner."
Jiang Juan looked at Chu Xiuxiu's running figure in confusion, and sent a message to Ah Li that Ah Li would be back soon and was going to make dinner... Where is this going?
