Chapter 387 Promise
Qin Huiyin had just finished breakfast and was considering whether to go to the newly built military factory to check out the progress of the Li family, but she heard shocking news from Su Jin.
"Kiss me? Me?"
Su Jin nodded repeatedly: "I just came from the front yard and heard the servants over there talking about it, but I don't know which family sent them."
"I'll go take a look." Qin Huiyin went to the front yard.
As soon as she walked out of the courtyard, she saw Tang Luwu coming out of the next courtyard. When Tang Luwu saw her, she ran over.
"Yinyin, I heard a matchmaker came to our house."
"I'm going over to check it out now."
"I'll accompany you."
Tang Luwu pulled Qin Huiyin to the front yard, entered through the side door, and listened to the conversation in the lobby in the ear room.
"The Zhu family values our second daughter so highly, and our Tang family is very grateful. However, my daughter is still young, and I would like to stay for two more years. I don't want to arrange a marriage for her in the next few years." Li Taohua smiled faintly, "Please go back and tell the ladies of the Zhu family that we are very grateful for their appreciation, but it's just that we are not destined to be together. I hope their eldest son can find a better girl."
"Madam Tang, do you have any concerns?" the matchmaker said flatteringly. "The eldest son of the Zhu family is gentle and good-tempered, and he will definitely love his wife. He is the eldest son of the Zhu family, and the vast family fortune will definitely be passed on to him! His wife will be able to take charge of the inner household affairs as soon as she marries him. The old lady and the first lady above are both extremely fond of this eldest son, so they will naturally not treat the eldest young lady unfairly."
"I heard that the second young lady and the eldest young lady of the Zhu family are close friends and have a harmonious relationship. Isn't that even better? After she marries, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law will get along well. It will truly be a perfect match. If you have any other conditions, just mention them and I will pass them on to the ladies of the Zhu family. What about the betrothal gift, what kind of requirements you should have for your son-in-law... If you have any requirements, just let me know."
Tang Luwu lowered her voice and said, "Isn't that the eldest son of the Zhu family the one whose face was disfigured?"
Qin Huiyin nodded: "It's him."
"Why would the Zhu family want to ask you for his hand in marriage?" Tang Luwu frowned. "How is he worthy of you?"
"You can't say that. That young man's character is still very valuable. It's just that I don't like him and don't want to blindly marry someone I don't like. No matter what kind of person that Mr. Zhu is, even if he is a god in heaven, I just don't like him." Qin Huiyin said, "Fortunately, my mother helped me refuse. Otherwise, I would have to marry someone else's wife at such a young age. It's terrible."
"You're fifteen years old, not young anymore, you can get married." Tang Luwu teased her.
"Yes, if we have to get married, you should marry first. Have you ever heard of a family marrying off the younger sister first and then the older sister? Once my marriage is discussed, you can't escape it, otherwise people will gossip."
"Then forget it! Mother is right. We are still young and there is no rush to stay for a few more years." Tang Luwu looked as if she was saying 'thank you, but it's not necessary'.
Li Taohua rejected the matchmaker again.
The matchmaker's face looked a little bad.
Li Taohua served tea and called out, "Come here, send the ice man out."
The matchmaker suppressed her anger and left the Tang residence.
As soon as the matchmaker left, Li Taohua pressed her eyebrows.
A hand reached out and held her head.
Li Taohua felt the soft fingers wandering on her head and closed her eyes to enjoy it.
"Has mother not had breakfast yet?" Qin Huiyin asked the servant beside her.
The servant replied, "The lady hadn't even woken up when the official matchmaker arrived. She was so anxious to entertain him that she hadn't had time to eat."
"Why don't you bring the delicious food and drinks?"
Li Taohua took Qin Huiyin's hand and pointed to the seat next to her: "How much have you sisters heard?"
"We just arrived and heard that official media person bragging about how lucky it is to marry into the Zhu family," Tang Luwu said. "Mother, the eldest son of the Zhu family has a disfigured face. How can he be worthy of our Yinyin?"
"The reason I rejected him wasn't because he was disfigured, of course that's one of the reasons. The most important thing is that I haven't heard Yinyin mention this person before, which means he's not someone Yinyin likes, so naturally I can't agree." Li Taohua looked at Qin Huiyin, then at Tang Luwu, "If one day you have someone you like, remember to come and tell me. It's not easy for us women. Getting married is like a second life, and it determines whether we can live a comfortable life in the second half of our lives. We're not a wealthy family, so we don't have so many rules, and we don't care about family background. If one day you get married, I hope you marry someone you truly love."
"Mother..." Tang Luwu rested her head on Li Taohua's arm and acted coquettishly. "You are so kind."
Tang Dafu came over with breakfast, followed by other servants.
The servants placed various breakfasts on the table.
"Yinyin, Luwu, come and have something to eat with your mother. Her appetite will be better with you here." Tang Dafu said.
"It just so happens that I haven't eaten enough yet!" Tang Luwu said, "Mom, let's fill our stomachs first."
Tang Yichen was discussing official business with several colleagues at the Censorate when he looked up and saw Song Ruize coming in. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Song Ruize's figure.
Song Ruize held a token in his hand and said calmly, "Our military department needs to check a document. I have already obtained the approval of the Imperial Censor. I am sorry to bother you all."
"Commander Song, you're welcome." Another Chief Censor said with a smile.
Song Ruize nodded: "Thank you."
The reputation of the Bingmasi was mixed. However, Yang Xing, commander of the Nancheng Bingmasi, was recently sentenced to exile, allowing the entire Bingmasi to be reorganized. This greatly benefited the commander of the Dongcheng Bingmasi.
This person is no small character.
Even though he came from a humble background, he was a very resourceful person.
"Sir Tang, I heard that you and Commander Song are from the same hometown. Then you must have known each other for a long time, right? One of you is a civil official and the other a military officer, so don't you have any friendship at all?" The official next to him asked in a low voice.
"We are not even remotely related, so how can we have such a friendship?" Tang Yichen said calmly.
"This time, you submitted all the evidence against Yang Xing, the former commander of the Southern City Army. If you weren't doing this to help your fellow townspeople, it would be strange for you to risk offending the Yang family."
"I'm the Chief Censor. It's my duty to supervise officials. I know about Yang Xing's crimes, so why should I pretend to be deaf and dumb? Then what am I doing in this position? Am I supposed to be a mascot?"
Everyone: "..."
I feel a little bit implied.
"Congratulations, Lord Tang, congratulations, Lord Tang..." An official walked in from outside.
"Master Fang, where does your joy come from?" Tang Yichen said calmly.
"I just came from the Ministry of Personnel. The servants in the Minister of Personnel's mansion are reporting to him that the Zhu family has asked an official matchmaker to come to your house to propose marriage. You will be able to marry the Minister of Personnel soon. Isn't that a happy occasion?" The official showed a strange expression of 'you and I understand each other tacitly'.
