Chapter 2265 The fastest engagement
General Wu had his own soldiers. After getting the letter, he immediately asked his soldiers to ride to the Duchonggou camp.
He also sent someone to tell Mrs. Tan: "Don't worry, Mrs. Tan, the letter will be delivered to Tan Qianhu within three hours."
"Thank you very much." Mrs. Tan breathed a sigh of relief, then went to find General Lin Qi and told him: "Call all the women who came to sell medicinal materials from our health center. I have something to say."
"Yes." Mr. Lin Qi was regarded as Tan Qianhu's confidant. He immediately followed the instructions without asking any questions. In less than a quarter of an hour, he led eight women from Yong Linwei to Mrs. Tan's carriage.
Ive met Madam, what are your orders for us? Mr. Lin Qi, the wife with the highest status, took the lead and asked.
Mrs. Tan: "I called you here for three reasons. First, I don't have tuberculosis. My trachea is blocked by soybeans, so I have been coughing for several months. Mrs. Qin has just helped me take out the soybeans. I am in good health."
She spoke for such a long time without coughing or feeling out of breath, which shows that she is really feeling better.
Congratulations, madam! Mrs. Lin was overjoyed. Madam is well, and Mrs. Xiao Hu no longer dares to be lawless.
Mrs. Tan added: "Secondly, my family has never made any marriage arrangements with the Xiao family. Sister Xiang may marry anyone in her life, but she will never marry into the Xiao Bai family!"
this?
Everyone present was shocked. Mrs. Tan came to them specifically to say this. It was obvious that she was going to fall out with Xiao Baihu's family!
It seems that they have to make a choice, and they can no longer please both sides.
Mrs. Lin was the first to express her position: "Madam, don't worry, we are all sensible people. No matter what someone boasts about, we will not believe it. We only believe what madam and your Excellency say personally."
Mrs. Tan smiled and said: "I believe Mrs. Lin's words. After all, we have been together for several years. I know your character clearly and I know it well."
Xiao Chengju almost fainted, picked him up and said, "It's the second brother, brother, not Gaga. I've taught you many times, but I still can't explain it clearly."
Little Qingyun is a good boy. He learns it seriously, but the sound he makes is still: "Two quack, two quack."
"Hey, that's okay, there's no need to learn anymore. Second brother will teach you slowly in the future, so that if you don't quack again, others will think that our family has a bunch of ducks." Xiao Chengju surrendered and went to see Brother Xiaogui again. He sat upright on the kang, facing a book and describing it in a formal manner.
Xiao Chengju was not happy, but trembled. He took away his book and said, "Brother Gui, you are still young. You don't need to practice calligraphy so early. Come and play with your second uncle for a while."
But dont be like your grandfather, who shut yourself up at home without doing any work, studying in front of a window in the wind, and relying on your wife to support you. Its really terrible.
Brother Xiaogui frowned, but was not angry. Instead, he came over obediently to play with Xiao Chengju.
By the time the rest of the family comes back, the food will be ready.
The second brother has made a lot of money. Ill add some food to the house tonight. If theres chicken or meat, hurry up and eat with your chopsticks! Widow Xiao happily greeted the whole family to eat. It was a delicious meal.
But after eating, after hearing what Xiao Chengju said, Widow Xiao exploded. With a bang, she slapped the table and stood up. She pointed at Xiao Chengju and said, "What are you talking about? You want to marry Tan Xiaoxiang. She is a little girl. When she marries you, do you want to kill the whole family?!"
Xiao Chengju: "Mom, what do you mean by killing the whole family? You are superstitious. My cousin has made a rule that if anyone in the guardhouse dares to be superstitious, they will be fined two taels of silver and beaten with twenty big boards."
Widow Xiao: "Bah, you stinky boy, you still want to use the rules of the guardhouse to beat me, okay, come and beat me, beat me to death."
Crying again: "Woohoo, what kind of sin has the old lady made, the son who finally raised the big yellow flower, the clever and clever, and had the ability to marry the door!"
Uncle Qin said: "Okay, it's late at night. If you scream, the Bao family will laugh at you if they hear you."
The Bao family's house has been built, they have moved in, and they have become neighbors with Uncle Qin's family.
Widow Xiao shouted: "When he marries a widower, our family will be laughed at for the rest of our lives. Do I care about being laughed at by the Bao family?!"
Uncle Qin knew Widow Xiao very well and knew that he had to persuade her in the opposite direction, so he said: "Don't cry. The second brother wants to marry Miss Tan, but she may not be able to marry him. Don't forget, she is a young lady from a thousand families. , even if you are guarding the family, the family you are looking at is from a hundred families, and the man you are looking at is also a general... If you look at the second son of our family, does he have a father from a hundred households, or does he have an official position? ? No shit, hes just a **** who makes money by relying on Qins nephews name, hes not even a businessman!
