Chapter 218 Rejection

Chen Shiying saw Chen Afu's face as if he was facing a great enemy, and he was extremely helpless. He said, "Dad is really planning for you. Girls only have a few years of youth. If you miss it, it will be hard to find a good man. Dad has helped you find two good young men. Listen to them. If you don't like them, Dad will continue to help you find one."

Chen Afu definitely didn't want the son-in-law that Chen Shiying chose for her, but she was also curious about what kind of two people he chose, so she didn't say anything.

Chen Shiying continued, "These two young men have good character and were carefully selected by Dad. One of them is surnamed Zhou, the son of one of Dad's staff members. He is sixteen years old this year. He passed the examination for a scholar at the age of fourteen. He will take the examination for a juren next year and will definitely pass it if nothing goes wrong. This child is good-looking, has good academic performance, a good temper, and knows his family well. The only shortcoming is that his family is not well-off. Dad will give you more dowry, and he and his family will treat you well. Fu'er is also smart and will definitely be able to live a good life in the future. Dad likes this young man from the Zhou family the most. The other young man is surnamed Li, the grandson of Mr. Li, the Tongzhi of Dingzhou Prefecture. He is fifteen years old this year, half a year younger than Fu'er. He also passed the examination for a scholar, looks good, and has a good family background. Good, be polite and courteous. If Fuer wants to live comfortably in the future, the Zhou family's young man is better. If Fuer wants to find someone with a good family background and good looks, then find a young man from the Li family. However, if you find a young man from the Li family, it is best to let Jiang register you under her name. Dad has discussed this with Jiang, and she agreed.

After hearing the conditions of these two people, Chen Afu felt that Chen Shiying was quite reliable. Not only did he not want to use her for marriage, but the people he found were from a relatively low family background, which was also considered to be sincere for her. With her embarrassing identity, only those with a low family background or those who rely on him for promotion will sincerely accept her.

However, she would not agree to any better person. So she shook her head and said, "I still have a son who doesn't want to marry, but wants to recruit a son-in-law."

Chen Shiying advised, "As long as the person is good, why do you have to insist on recruiting a son-in-law? As for Dabao, don't worry, Dad will give you more dowry and all the money Dabao needs, and then let the young man recognize Dabao as his adopted son. With your father backing you up, neither of the two families dares to upset Dabao. "

Chen Afu still shook his head and disagreed, saying, "Master Chen, you don't have to consider me. The young lady in your house is not much younger than me. Please consider her more."

Chen Shiying's old face turned red. His mother threw the face of the young lady in the house and the entire face of the Chen family to her grandmother's house.

He calmed down and said, "Your sister is much younger than you. Dad will solve your problem and then think about theirs."

Chen Afu still shook his head and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master Chen. I will not consider either of them. "

Chen Shiying saw Chen Afu pursing his lips and looking stubborn, and said, "Fuer is too willful..."

Just as he was speaking, a servant came to report that Chu Huai, the chief attendant of Lord Chu, wanted to see Lord Chen.

Chu Huai came in, clasped his fists to Chen Afu, and bowed to Chen Shiying and said, "My master heard that Lord Chen is here, and asked you to move to Tangyuan to drink and chat. "

Chen Shiying didn't want to see Chu Lingxuan. When he saw him, he would think of the stupid things his mother had done. Besides, Chu Lingxuan was too arrogant. Although the two families were far apart in family background, it was not appropriate to marry their children. But their ranks were similar. If he wanted to chat or treat me to a drink, he should come here in person to treat me. That was the way to treat guests. Moreover, he came to ease the relationship with his daughter. They had only talked for a while and hadn't gotten along well enough.

However, Chen Shiying always showed warmth and tolerance, especially to Chu Lingxuan, who he didn't want to offend. So he complained in his heart, but there was no displeasure on his face. He smiled and said, "I just learned that Lord Chu was in Tangyuan, and I was thinking of visiting him in the afternoon. Since Lord Chu invited me, I will say a few words to Fu'er and then go to Tangyuan. "

Chu Huai clasped his fists again and went outside to wait for him.

Chen Shiying pointed to the two brocade boxes and said to Chen Afu, "The purple box is a headdress for your mother..."

Chen Afu quickly refused, "Master Chen, I have already accepted your 'thought' on behalf of my mother. Don't give her anything again in the future. Last time I accepted your money on behalf of my mother, my mother has been complaining about me. If I accept this headdress again, she will definitely ignore me. "

Chen Shiying was stunned and said disappointedly, "Alas, your mother always complains about me. Forget it, let's talk about it later... If your mother doesn't want it, Fu'er will keep it. And the vermilion box is the headdress given to you by your father. "

Chen Afu refused again, "Master Chen, don't give me anything again. I have already accepted your 'thought'."

Chen Shiying frowned and said, "Fu'er, you are my own daughter. Even if you are angry and don't call me dad, blood relationship cannot be changed. People say that elders give gifts, and you can't refuse them. If your father gives you something, you can't refuse it. "

Without waiting for Chen Ahfu to speak again, he walked out.

He left the gate of Fuyuan, stopped and looked at the gate of Luyuan, then turned and walked towards Tangyuan. His steps were as heavy as a thousand pounds. He didn't want to see Chu Lingxuan at all, and he couldn't help but blame Chu Lingxuan for not understanding human feelings.

In early February, his mother said that she dreamed of his father and wanted to go to Baoguo Temple in Beijing to light a long-lasting lamp for his father. Chen Shiying couldn't refuse this reason. He wanted Jiang to accompany her, but his son was sick and Jiang couldn't leave. Of course, it didn't go as the old lady wanted. She didn't let Tang and Chen Yuhui accompany her, and only sent Lu Yi Niang and many servants and guards to accompany her. She also asked the old lady to stay in Baoguo Temple for one day and one night, saying that she was afraid that she would be in danger outside.

Who knew it would be such a coincidence that when Chen's mother went to Baoguo Temple, Li, the second wife of Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, was also there. She said that she was offering incense and vegetarian food for three days for the deceased old lady, and the courtyard she lived in was next to Old Lady Chen.

Chen's mother was very good at scheming. When she heard about Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, wasn't that the family of Lord Chu Lingxuan? Lord Chu was young and promising, handsome, and from a noble family. Everyone in Dingzhou Prefecture knew him.

In the eyes of the old lady, Yong'an Marquis' Mansion was a noble family, a noble family, a big family, and a princess. If she could get a good relationship with their mansion, it would be of great benefit to her son's career. Moreover, she had been planning a famous thing, and this was really a pillow when she was sleepy.

So, she stuck to it all at once. Chen's mother had a skill, that is, when she met someone she wanted to curry favor with, her attitude was particularly humble and she could say nice things casually.

What Chen's mother didn't know was that although Li was the second wife of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, she was of low birth and had small eyes. She was just the daughter of a sixth-rank official, and her husband was disabled at home. No one in the aristocratic circle in the capital cared for her. It turned out that Li was in charge of the Chu Mansion's household. She would appear on important occasions, and people had to perfunctorily deal with her. Since the third wife of Chu returned to Beijing and took over the household, no one cared for her.

Thank you for your concern, Qingquan will do what he can. If his body can't stand it, he may rest for a while. It rained lightly in Chengdu today. Qingquan went to the hospital a little late and came back from acupuncture, so he uploaded it late.
