Chapter 351 What’s so good about Miss Peng?

"Mr. Peng is too polite. Our boy is also a young boy. Mr. Peng will have to worry more about it in the future." Mrs. Li also said politely, and then asked, "When is Mr. free time, our family will come to propose marriage?"

Mr. Peng pondered for a moment and said: "The academy will be closed for bathing in eight days, why not just set it on that day?"

"Okay, let's come to our family on time to propose marriage." Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief.

The matter was settled satisfactorily at this point. After a few polite words from both parties, Mrs. Li took her son and granddaughter to leave.

Mr. Peng walked all the way outside the courtyard gate. Seeing the Li family walking away, he turned around and told the housekeeper, "You must take good care of the backyard in the past few days and don't cause any trouble."

"Yes, sir, don't worry. I will ensure that the young lady gets engaged smoothly." Butler Peng quickly agreed and couldn't help but sigh, "This old lady from the Li family looks very kind. If the young lady gets married, it must be the right time." No."

Mr. Peng sighed, "This old lady took a dozen people from Saibei all the way to Jiangnan. No one in the family, young or old, was lost. How can she be so kind and soft-tempered now that she still has such a good life?

"However, the Li family has a good family tradition and behaves well. Wenjuan is married to her. As long as she abides by her duties, her life will be fine. After all, it is me, the deaf and blind father, who has been unable to treat her these past few years."

"Sir, you can't say that. You have to teach students and revise books, so how can you pay too much attention to the backyard... The young lady also has a stubborn temper. If she had been willing to talk to you more, she wouldn't be in this situation now." The butler hurriedly replaced him. The master is looking for compensation and excuses.

As expected, Mr. Peng's face improved a lot, "That's all, now that the matter has come to an end, it's up to her to get her married properly. From now on, it's up to her."

Let’s not talk about what happened to the Peng family, just that the Li family walked in the academy and were dressed so grandly, so they were naturally noticed by many people.

It was fine in the academy, no one took the initiative to inquire, but when he went out to the corridor and entered the food shop, the neighbors on the left and right couldn't help but chat with Zhao Yuru.

“Sister-in-law Li, what are your old ladies doing at the academy? They are so elegantly dressed, especially your little niece, I almost didn’t recognize her.”

Zhao Yuru followed anxiously to the backyard to ask about the result. After hearing this, she smiled and replied: "Our two children are studying in the academy. The gentlemen are taking good care of them. My mother-in-law is here, of course she has to pay a visit. Thank you, sir." ah."

After saying that, she hurried to the backyard, no longer having time to pay attention to her neighbors.

Jia Huan was already sitting eagerly on the small bench next to grandma, waiting.

They were not present when the imperial edict was delivered to their home, so naturally they did not know about this important event.

Originally, he was worried that due to his low status, he would be looked down upon by the Peng family and refuse to be proposed for marriage.

But his sister suddenly became the princess, and he became the princess's brother. Now that things have changed again, he can only wait eagerly...

Mrs. Li deliberately teased her grandson and drank water slowly to moisten her throat.

Even those who used to chatter about good news now just smile and refuse to say a word.

Zhao Yuru came back from the front and saw her son like an ant on a hot pot. She couldn't help laughing and said, "Mom, please tell me, Brother Huan almost stepped on the bluestone in the yard just now!"

The family was all red-faced and everyone laughed.

Mrs. Li patted her grandson's generous shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Peng has agreed. In eight days, when the academy is closed for bathing, our family will propose marriage."

Jiayin also clapped her little hands, laughed and cheered, "Brother wants to get a wife!"

Jia Huan was excited and happy. He wanted to say something, but suddenly burst into tears. He hugged the old lady's legs, knelt down and sobbed, "Grandma, your grandson is unfilial and has caused trouble for the family. He even asked you to go to Peng's house to beg for mercy..."

“Silly boy!” The old lady rubbed her grandson’s hair and sighed softly, “The family says it’s not troublesome. Isn’t it right for grandma to arrange a marriage for her grandson?

“You just need to remember that you worked so hard to get this daughter-in-law, so you must cherish it in the future! If you marry her later, you can’t regret it if you feel there is something wrong with her.”

"No grandma, Wenjuan and I will be filial to grandma and our parents." Jia Huan buried her head on grandma's shoulder and said in a low voice.

"Oh, Miss Peng's maiden name is Wenjuan? I didn't even ask her just now. It's a good name. She sounds like a girl from a scholarly family." the old lady praised.

This prompted Zhao Yuru to quickly ask, "Mom, what does that girl look like? Does she have a good temperament?"

Jia Huan finally realized that she was shy, so she quickly wiped her face and said, "Grandma, please speak slowly, I'm going to make lunch."

After saying that, he ran away, which made Old Mrs. Li laugh again, "This kid is too embarrassed to listen!"

Li Laosan and Li Laosi also got up and went about their business, one chopping firewood and the other washing the pots, leaving the women behind to chat.

Old Mrs. Li was also curious about what her granddaughter said to the little maid outside, so she said at this moment: "Didn't Fu Niuer say that she likes Miss Peng? Tell me, what's so good about Miss Peng?"

Jiayin blinked her big eyes, stretched out her little hand, and spoke while cracking her fingers.

“First, Sister Peng is tall. When she gets married to her brother, her nephew will definitely be tall as well. Second, Sister Peng is good at needlework and likes to read. She can teach her nephew how to write and make clothes for him in the future.

"Third, Sister Peng can cook. Xiaoyue said that Sister Peng's cooking is delicious. Fourthly, Sister Peng is kind. Xiaoyue is a maid, so she protects her from being bullied. Fifth, Sister Peng is filial, and she will When her mother treats her badly, she won’t complain because she’s afraid that her father will be angry!”

Jiayin ran out of five fingers, thought for a moment, and added, "Sister Peng is good-looking too!"

Mrs. Li smiled when she heard this, lowered her head to kiss her granddaughter, and praised, "We Fu Niu are so smart, we actually see so many good things about Miss Peng!"

Zhao Yuru heard that she was anxious and asked, "Mom, is this girl really good?"

Old Mrs. Li nodded, "Don't worry, this girl has had no mother since she was a child and has suffered a lot. I think she is a diligent person. If the family loves to marry her, at least she will have someone to take care of her food, drink and clothing in the future."

“Furthermore, this child has a stubborn temper and has a lot of ideas. He just makes up for Jia Huan’s soft temper, and together we can live a peaceful life together.”

Mrs. Li pondered for a moment and then said, "This girl has been treated harshly and does not have enough food. She looks a little thin and her complexion is not good. We need to give this child more nourishment in the future!"

"Oh, this is what it should be!" Zhao Yuru was completely relieved, "Our family is a food shop, so we can't lack food if we are short of anything."

Mrs. Li nodded, "After dinner, we will go back. You and the third child don't have to worry about how to live your life. There is no need to hide the fact that Fu Niuer is the princess of our family and let others Knowing that our Li family is not bad, if we get engaged with the Peng family in the future, there won’t be too many people gossiping.”

"I know, mother!" Zhao Yuru hugged her little niece, pressed her chubby little face against hers, and said with a smile, "Thanks to our Fu Niu'er for becoming the princess, otherwise it would be really hard for your brother to marry a lady from a scholarly family. It’s not easy.”
