When Xiao Ming came back in the evening, she discussed family matters with Yi's mother.
Mother Yi glanced at Xiao Yu, who was painting big characters under the candlelight in front of her, and lowered her voice: "Liu Yu's mother came to look for me. She wants to marry Li'er for her eldest son. Please ask me to ask you what you mean."
"Liu Tiesheng is a good person, loyal and honest. Mother Yi, what do you think?" Xiao Ming raised her head and asked Mother Yi.
Mother Yi paused. She had met Liu Tiesheng a few times. He was also the brother of his daughter-in-law. He was a talented person and a loyal person. He would be a good match for Li'er. Besides, he knew everything about him. He was under their noses. Down there, I'm not afraid that Liu Jiabo will treat Li'er badly.
The Yi family and Li'er came from Po An's house together and served the same master. Of course she hoped that Li'er would have a good home and live a safe and happy life. But with Li'er's temperament, most people really couldn't trust her with her. How could she know that the master After thinking about it, I actually chose my daughter-in-law’s natal family.
Mother Yi didn't know what to say. The Liu family said yes or no, and it wasn't a question of whether she was worthy or not.
As for Li'er's stubborn mind, her fists are more flexible than her brains. She will obey whoever treats her well. If anyone in her eyes is unkind, she will definitely use her fists to teach him how to behave.
When the eldest Wang mentioned the marriage to her, she was still worried about what would happen if Li'er beat that honest boy Liu Tiesheng?
well! She was overthinking it.
Looking at the young girl in front of her, Yi's mother's eyes flashed with determination. How could the girl's decision be wrong? Even if it was wrong, it was also right. Thinking back to the time when their family changed hands from Mrs. An to the Xiao family, the road ahead was bleak and they didn't dare to move forward day and night.
Now, in just a few years, the girl has fulfilled her lie and made their lives stable and prosperous. They have been entrusted with important responsibilities. Yi Feng has succeeded Xian, his grandson Yixuan is studying with Master Han, and his slave status has been released.
Now I am choosing my husband's house for Li'er, I am afraid that this house is also interesting.
From a serving slave to a free citizen, it's that simple.
The girl wanted to choose a husband for Li'er, so she fell in love with Liu Tiesheng. Of course, it was not easy for a girl who had not left the court to get involved in such a thing, so she asked her daughter-in-law Liu Yu to find out what the big Wang family was saying. Unexpectedly, the big Wang family turned around and proposed to her. and asked her to tell Xiao Ming that as long as Xiao Ming nodded, she would immediately ask a matchmaker to come to propose marriage.
This was quite a refreshing response.
"Li'er has reached her age, and it's time to get to know each other. Liu Tiesheng is a good young man with a kind and simple heart, and he comes from the same village and knows everything. From now on, Li'er will also have us taking care of him, so he won't suffer any loss." Mother Yi nodded and said , the girl's choice is naturally suitable. If you ask her what she means, she will naturally follow the girl's wishes.
If both parties are willing, everyone will be happy.
"That's right." Xiao Ming nodded. After all, Li'er had been with her for a few years. She was loyal, which means she would fight wherever she wanted. But she was also kind-hearted. After selling her, she could help count the money. Now it's time to At the age of marriage, she must keep her eyes open and choose carefully.
She had seriously considered Liu Tiesheng. He was a nice person. The main reason was that the eldest Wang family had a very cheerful personality. She was not the kind of evil mother-in-law who rubbed her daughter-in-law. When she first married her, the Yi family gave her a generous betrothal gift, and she kept it as a dowry. , and even added a lot to Liu Yu. From this point of view, Wang's heart is strong and tough.
Now when Li'er is asked to choose someone to accompany her for the rest of her life, the first thing she thinks of is the Liu family.
"This matter cannot be decided hastily. Mother Yi, you have to ask Li'er first what she wants. She must be willing, and Liu Tiesheng's wishes are also very important." Xiao Ming said, she is interested in Liu Tiesheng, and both parties must do it. Just nod her head, otherwise she wouldn't be called a matchmaker.
Mother Yi sighed in her heart, here we go again! here we go again! For her girl, the so-called parents' orders and the matchmaker's words mean nothing. It only works if both parties see eye to eye.
Yes, the girl said, free love, mutual happiness.
well! It's hard for an old woman like her to keep up with the girl's thoughts.
However, Yi's mother is a firm supporter of her master's decision. No matter what Xiao Ming says, she will nod along. Xiao Ming said that if two young people wanted to be happy with each other and nod voluntarily, then the parents' orders would not be valid.
Naturally, it is not convenient for Xiao Ming to come forward in this marriage matter. She is the middleman. But when the happy in-laws know Xiao Ming's thoughts, will they spit out blood? It's just that she was too impatient. She could just say hello to her son. What the girl wanted was not the orders of her parents...
"I'd like to trouble Mother Yi to talk to the Wang family about whether Liu Tiesheng is satisfied with this marriage and whether she is willing to marry Li'er." Xiao Ming asked, she didn't want the union of the two to be her only idea.
"Yes." Mother Yi nodded in agreement, thinking that she would finish the matter later. She would go to her in-laws' house overnight and explain the matter clearly. It is important to make it clear that this matter does not just require her in-laws to nod. Liu Tiesheng had to be happy to make it happen.
Based on her understanding of the girl, she is afraid that she will promote the Liu family. If this marriage is successful, Liu Tiesheng will definitely be taken to the capital by the girl. To use Liu Tiesheng in such a high regard, the Liu family needs to have an attitude.
The reason why the girl didn't bring it up now was because she didn't want her in-laws to be blinded by the big cake in front of them and blindly agreed to the marriage, regardless of the feelings of the two young people.
Mother Yi nodded secretly, guessing almost exactly what her master was thinking, and secretly she was already thinking about how to attack her in-laws.
Mother Yi said a few more things that needed Xiao Ming to make up her mind. After that, she left the study and went straight to Liu's house without going back to the house.
The study became quiet. Xiao Yu raised his head, put down his pen, and came forward with a few large characters he had written: "Auntie, I've finished writing. Please help me see how it went."
Xiao Ming pursed her lips and smiled, then took it and looked at it carefully. Xiao Yu practiced big calligraphy every day for several years without stopping. Later, he studied with Mr. Lu. After being read and corrected by Mr. Lu, he now writes well. Each hook and stroke is clear and powerful, and the character has been established.
Compared with him, Xiao Han is better at painting. From the letters he sends home every time, every painting can be painted realistically and casually, with a cheerful mood.
"I've made progress again, keep working hard." Xiao Ming said with a smile. She never hesitates to praise good things. This is Xiao Yu's daily homework, and will be sent to Mr. Lu thousands of miles away for correction.
Xiao Yu took the words back and looked at them himself, and frowned. He felt that his aunt's wording was very perfunctory. That was how she expressed it yesterday. Could it be that her thoughts were still stuck on yesterday?
What’s your first impression when you see a word? It’s well written? What's so good about it?
well! My aunt is still the same aunt, and now she doesn't even bother to say a word to praise him. If Mr. Lu were here, he would definitely point out many mistakes.
The aunt just wanted to trick him into looking at the account book.
