Chapter 350： Get straight to the point

Chapter 350 Let’s get straight to the point

A clever little girl tugged on Miss Peng's sleeve and whispered, "Girl, please invite the princess and the old lady into the house."

“Ah, yes, yes.” Miss Peng became even more panicked and quickly invited the old lady and Jiayin into the house.

There are no expensive furnishings in the room, the most are embroidery stands and books, which are kept clean and tidy.

Jiayin was young and no one would care if she said something wrong. She just pretended to be curious and played around, asking questions non-stop.

“Sister Peng, do you do embroidery every day? You are so good, I can only sew sachets.”

“Sister Peng, have you read a lot of books?”

Miss Peng was very patient and answered questions and answers. She was not angry at all when Jiayin messed up the embroidery thread. On the contrary, she was afraid that Jiayin might **** her hand, so she quickly put away the embroidery needle.

Old Mrs. Li watched from the side, occasionally interjecting a few words, and the more she listened, the more satisfied she became.

Jiayin saw grandma smiling happily, so she retired and took the little maid with her to go to the toilet.

The little maid took the good news and went out to the small room next door, giving the old lady and Miss Peng some space to be alone.

Miss Peng pulled off the veil, hesitated for a moment, then knelt down in front of Mrs. Li, "Old Madam, it's my fault. I have been relying on Brother Jiahuan to help me sell embroidery work secretly. I...Anyway, please Old Madam Don’t blame Brother Jiahuan, everything is my fault. I am willing to make up for it, as long as I can do it.”

Mrs. Li stretched out her hand to help her, touched the thin calluses on her fingers, and sighed softly.

Having had no mother since she was a child, her father was careless, and she had to live under the hands of her stepmother and concubines. This girl really suffered a lot.

“My child, it is indeed wrong for you to secretly communicate with Jia Huan, but Jia Huan mentioned your difficulties and your last resort, so our family has no intention of blaming you.

"As for Jia Huan, he is the son of the Li family. He acted recklessly and did not care about his elder brother and younger brother who were studying in the academy. This is his fault. The family punishes him, but it is also a lesson for him. No one can replace him, do you understand? "

Ms. Peng bit her lip, feeling increasingly guilty and anxious, but she didn't know how to stop or compensate.

The old lady didn't want to let her worry, so she asked: "My child, last night I asked Jia Huan, and he said he would marry you as his wife and treat you well all his life. Today I came here to ask you what you think. If you feel the same way, I will go and discuss your marriage with your father.

"You know, before you and Jiahuan walked around so much, you could be discovered by your servants, and you would be in the eyes of others. It is naturally the best outcome for the two of you to get married. Even if there are others gossiping, the unmarried child It’s not too rude for couples to move around frequently.

"But if you don't like Jia Huan and have no intention of marrying him, tell the truth and our family will try our best to help your father and hide this matter so as not to damage your reputation or delay your future marriage. "

Ms. Peng didn't expect the old lady to ask such a straightforward question. She was embarrassed and panicked for a moment, and really wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide.

The old lady couldn't wait too long. After thinking about it, she added: "In this case, if you are willing, just nod, if not, just shake your head."

Miss Peng hesitated for a moment, but then she mustered up the courage to raise her head, looked at Mrs. Li, tears fell, "Old madam, brother Jiahuan told a lot about your family, and I was very happy to hear it. I haven't had it since I was a child. Mom, I also want to have such a lively home..."

"Okay, okay, good child, don't cry!" Old Mrs. Li hugged her quickly and wiped her tears with her handkerchief. "Grandma knows, you can live your life with peace of mind. As long as you and your family are of the same mind, grandma won't care. How can I make you a couple?"

Miss Peng subconsciously moved closer to the old lady's arms. She felt the warmth of the old lady's arms more clearly, and her tears fell even more quickly.

How many years have passed since my mother died? No one has hugged her.

She has been patient, finally resisted once, and managed to find a good ending for herself?

Even at this moment, she couldn't believe it. Her mother must be a spirit in heaven, protecting her!

Jiayin was playing in the yard, looking at flowers here and grass there, leading the little maid to talk. She felt that she was almost done, and she was tired and thirsty, so she called grandma.

Miss Peng sent the old lady out with red circles in her eyes. Jiayin ran over, hugged Miss Peng's neck, and kissed her on the face, "Sister Peng, I like you!"

Miss Peng blushed again, kissed you back gently, and whispered: "I like you too. Come and play with me when you come to Luo'an from now on."

"Okay, I won't take any money from my sister when she goes to play in our valley from now on!" Jiayin patted her chest, looking very bold and righteous, making everyone laugh.

Soon, Mrs. Li led Jiayin back to the front yard.

Miss Peng stood in front of the door and kept watching. When she turned around, she saw someone in the distance looking in, but her heart no longer felt depressed and angry.

In the future, she will marry into a big, lively and harmonious family.

What a concubine, a concubine, or even whether her father will renew their relationship has nothing to do with her!

“Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue! Help me open the box and look for the embroidered booklet with a red cover!”

The little maid was so happy that she jumped up and down and went to help the lady find something.

In the study room in the front yard, Mr. Peng talked with the Li brothers.

Originally, he thought the atmosphere would be a bit awkward. After all, Li Laosan was a carpenter and part-time cook, and Li Laosi was a martial artist. They had nothing in common with him, a scholar.

I do n’t want to, Li Laosi went to the north and broke into the north. He had a wide range of knowledge. He had previously made a way to kill himself.

Now he is the commander-in-chief, and if he goes one step higher, he will be the general.

Li Laosan is not as powerful as his younger brother, but he still worked his way from Saibei to Jiangnan.

Slaying wolves, fighting tigers and leopards, killing mountain bandits, what have you never experienced?

The three of them were talking and drinking tea, and it was very lively.

Until Mrs. Li came back with the good news, Mr. Peng still had some unfinished business.

Mrs. Li was confident in her heart, so she went straight to the point, "Mr. Peng, there are many girls in the family who are asking for her. I just saw that our girl is dignified and gentle, and I like her very much. I wonder if our two families have the fate to be a son-in-law?"

"Although my grandson is incompetent, he is still young and will be more promising in the future. My eldest son is coming back from the south soon and plans to reopen Sihaiju. When the time comes, my grandson will definitely become a chef and be in charge of a party in the future. I will never let Miss Peng suffer.

"In addition, to show our sincerity, our family is willing to use two hundred manuscripts as a betrothal gift. The rest will be prepared according to the rules, just more or less. Sir, would you like to give it more consideration?"

Mr. Peng clenched the tea cup in his hand when he heard this, feeling unexpectedly surprised.

If it were before, he would definitely not be willing.

But now that the daughter has done such a thing and word spreads about it, the whole family becomes embarrassed.

The Li family had a princess, a fiefdom, and a son who was a commander, so their status suddenly increased.

One thing is going down, the other is going up, it’s almost enough to say that the Peng family is climbing high.

Unexpectedly, the Li family not only did not use this as an excuse, but they were so sincere.

If the dean knew about it, he would probably want to give birth to a daughter and send it to the Li family. Why wouldn't he want to? !

“The old lady likes this ugly girl of mine, it’s her blessing.”
