"You choose a daughter-in-law, what should I control?"
Zhu Wanqing was anxious, "Of course you have to check, this will affect the next generation of Xiaohao, and the next generation after that..."
"Okay, okay." Li Qing smiled helplessly, "Okay, I really don't have a moment to spare!"
"Mom, I don't want him to..."
"Shut up, you have no place to speak here." Zhu Wanqing interrupted ruthlessly, "Parents make the final decision on marriage matters, how can you be picky?"
"But they are not my parents!" Li Hao protested.
However, the protest was ineffective.
Zhu Wanqing hummed: "You, Mr. Qing, are the elders, so you are naturally qualified to control things."
Li Hao was extremely excited, "He, he..."
"Forget it." Li Qing said.
Li Hao hesitated for a moment, then felt happy. At the same time, he also felt a little guilty: Did I hurt him too much?
But I heard Li Qing continue: "He is only seventeen years old, and it is not too late after two years."
"No, you check, you check for me." Li Hao quickly changed his words.
At his age, he is at the age where he is full of energy and full of fantasies about the opposite sex. How can he not think about...?
"Master Qing, my grandson would like to offer you a drink." Li Hao picked up the wine glass, "My grandson was not sensible in the past and made grandpa unhappy. Please don't remember the faults of others."
Li Hao's main character is one who can bend and stretch.
Having said that, it seems that he didn't even stretch it, and it was completely bent.
However, the choice of his wife is in someone else's hands. If Mr. Qing takes revenge and deliberately finds him an ugly one, he won't have time to cry.
Although one can divorce his wife, it would really destroy his character.
"Master Qing, you should understand what your grandson likes, right?"
Li Qing nodded: "Marry a virtuous wife, don't worry, Master Qing will definitely find you a virtuous wife."
"You can't tell whether someone is virtuous or not. It's better to stick with the pretty ones." Li Hao requested.
Zhu Wanqing cursed: "Superficial!"
"Son, this is not superficial, but..." Li Hao thought for a moment and said, "It is for the sake of the next generation."
He spoke plausibly, "Mom, think about it, if you weren't naturally beautiful and my father was so handsome, how could my sister and I be like this?"
"Look how beautiful my sister is."
Li Xueer pursed her lips, and for the first time she felt that her elder brother's words made sense.
"Look at me again, the number one in Jinling..." Li Hao paused, "Only Mr. Qing can compete with me."
Li Qing: "..."
Zhu Wanqing: "Why don't you look in the mirror before you speak?"
"Brother, there is still a gap between you and Grandpa Li, and it's not small." Li Xueer made a last-ditch attack.
Li Hao:o(╥﹏╥)o
Since Yu is born, how can Liang be born!
'I can't do it, but my son can do it. '
Li Hao insisted: "I can compromise on everything else...Okay, I'm just superficial."
At this point, Li Hao simply broke the pot and said, "The wife in my mind must meet the following three points;
Beautiful, beautiful, still... beautiful. "
He didn't dare to swear in front of his elders, but... the meaning was spot on.
Zhu Wanqing said coldly: "You are looking for a fight, aren't you?"
"...I'll ask my grandpa for comment." Li Hao was furious and turned around to leave.
"Stop!" Zhu Wanqing stopped him and snorted: "We will take care of both. Your grandpa is already old and has weak legs and feet. Don't let him worry about it."
"Okay." Li Hao said dullly, "But we agreed that you can't pick an ugly one for me. I don't want my son to be ugly."
Zhu Wanqing said angrily: "Get out of here quickly."
"Oh, okay, get out now." Seeing her agree, Li Hao's mood suddenly became beautiful.
"This little brat..." Zhu Wanqing was still angry at herself. She looked at her daughter in a blink of an eye, and her heart moved, and she asked: "Xiaoxue, you are almost fifteen. Although you are not old yet, you are not far away. What are your thoughts about your future partner?" ?”
She has no worries about her son, as long as he doesn't harm others, but not her daughter.
"Mom, I'm still young." Li Xueer blushed, "My eldest brother hasn't even revealed his horoscope yet, and you're already worried about me?"
"Just asking to prepare for a rainy day." Zhu Wanqing said kindly, "I am your mother, and Grandpa Li is not an outsider. There is nothing to be shy about. Let's talk about it."
Li Xueer's face turned red, but she still spoke and whispered:
"My daughter also wants to find someone...handsome."
"...You are really brothers and sisters." Zhu Wanqing couldn't help but complain, but she was not as savage to her son and continued to ask: "What else?"
"If you are talented, that would be even better." Li Xueer added in a low voice, "Mom, am I asking too much?"
"..." Zhu Wanqing's mouth twitched, "Not high, not high at all."
After a pause, "Then do you want to find a husband or get married?"
Li Xueer didn't hesitate, "If you, dad, mom, eldest brother, and Grandpa Li have no objections, I want to... recruit one, so that we can always be together."
Zhu Wanqing looked at Li Qing.
Li Qing smiled and said: "I have no objection, but I may not have time to choose a husband for the little girl."
Seeing that Uncle Li agreed, Zhu Wanqing nodded: "I'll help you pay attention first."
"Mom, I'm still young and I don't want to rush into getting married." Li Xueer was so embarrassed that she got up and ran away.
"This child..." Zhu Wanqing laughed and shook her head. She looked at her daughter's back and said with emotion: "Sometimes, I still think that I am a child, the apple of my elders' eyes and doting on me. When I look up, my children are so old. As long as they chase you away, you won’t be able to grow old!”
"It's okay. You're not even forty yet, and you're not even close to being an old man." Li Qingwen smiled, "You're just a child, after all."
"Yeah, I'm really happy that I can still be a child in front of Uncle Li." Zhu Wanqing said with a smile, as if she had returned to the past, and said naughtily: "Uncle Li, you can't hit me now. "
"That depends on your performance." Li Qing raised his glass and sipped his wine, "If you are still the same as before, I will beat you up."
Zhu Wanqing: "..."
~
After the food and wine were taken away, the uncle and nephew drank tea and chatted; they had a general discussion on the current business situation and future plans. After all, it was already the afternoon.
Li Qing was bored, so he went out to the Liyuan.
I remember that when he took his master and junior brother to live in the Hou Mansion, Li Jinglong often took them to the opera house to listen to the opera. He was busy and often rushed around. For a long time, Li Jinglong didn't spend as much time with the old man as he did.
The pear garden is still the same pear garden.
However, the original characters are no longer there, but... still young.
Li Qing, just like before, would serve a plate of melon seeds, order a pot of good tea, and would not hesitate to applaud when he heard something exciting.
However, he felt a little deserted.
The old man who was as generous as him, his junior brother, Li Jinglong, has lost his voice...
The same script, the same interpretation, but it no longer has the original flavor.
Maybe this is a pity... Li Qing thought bitterly.
He suddenly felt that it would be good to be busy. Being so free as today was really not something he enjoyed.
~
The next day, early in the morning.
'Dang Dang Dang...'
"Master Qing, it's me, Xiao Hao!"
"The door is unlocked, come in." Li Qing yawned and slowly sat up.
Li Hao pushed the door open and came in, saying hurriedly: "My dear Qingye, get up quickly, everyone is here."
"Who's here?" Li Qing was confused.
"My wife... ah no, the ladies who are rushing to marry me are here." Li Hao urged, "The attic of the second courtyard is now. Go quickly."
"You came so early?" Li Qing was surprised.
"What do you think?" Li Hao said proudly, "Don't even look at the influence of our Li family!"
Then, he slumped his shoulders and bent over again, with a flattering look on his face, "Master, my dear master, the happiness of my grandson, as well as the next generation, the descendants of the next generation, all depend on you. In the past, my grandson was ignorant... "
"...Okay, okay." Li Qing interrupted him angrily, "Get up now and get me a basin of water so I can wash up."
"Hey, let's go right now."
~
After washing up, Li Qing went to the attic of the second courtyard.
Good guy, there are quite a lot of people here, more than a dozen ladies from wealthy families, plus accompanying matchmakers, personal maids... there are all kinds of people, no less than forty people.
This scene... gave Li Qing a sense of déjà vu as he was competing for employment in future generations.
"Ahem, give way." Li Qing squeezed through the crowd, walked to the inner hall of the attic, and sat down in the 'interviewer''s seat.
"Uncle Li, you're here." Zhu Wanqing smiled, "Shall we start?"
"...Let's get started." Li Qing touched his nose and felt that it was neither fish nor fowl.
Zhu Wan cleared her throat and glanced at the maid next to her. The latter understood, took out the list and read, "Please come in, Miss Wang."
"Come on, come on, give in, give in." The woman's philistine voice sounded, and after a while, the old woman led a young woman in.
The old woman said respectfully: "I have met Mrs. Li."
The young woman bowed slightly, very reservedly.
"Mrs. Li, this is the daughter of Wang Shilang of the Ministry of Industry. She comes from a serious scholarly family, has a quiet temperament, and is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting..."
This matchmaker is very professional. She is as good as a top salesperson introducing her own products. Her words are clear and logical, which makes people excited.
The girl looks pretty good, with thin skin and tender flesh, and a fair face. She can't be said to be very beautiful, but she can still be called high-class.
However, Li Qing was very repelled by the fact that he was the daughter of the minister's family.
The same is true for Zhu Wanqing.
Of course, it would be impossible for her to choose a daughter-in-law who is illiterate from a peasant family. However, the bond between the minister and the minister is too deep and it is easy to get entangled.
The Li family chooses their daughter-in-law regardless of what the other party is like. After all...at least in Aurous Ling, it is almost impossible to find anyone who is as powerful as the Li family.
The consensus between Li Qing and Zhu Wanqing is that they are literate, sensible, soft-tempered, middle-class in appearance, and from a petty bourgeois family.
A high birthplace is not beautiful, but it is not good if it is too low, otherwise the two of them will have nothing in common.
The uncle and nephew looked at each other and made their decision. Zhu Wanqing smiled and said, "Miss Wang is very good, I will consider it."
The matchmaker wanted to sell more, but the maid of the Hou Mansion spoke first: "Please come in, the daughter of the Liu family."
…
…
Good guy, Li Sin called him a good guy.
He knew that the Li family was very influential, but he didn't expect that the Li family's influence would be so great now. There was news yesterday afternoon, and today so many high-ranking and distinguished daughters came.
If it takes two days to ferment, the threshold is still not broken?
