The Qingluo curtain was parted from it, and suddenly a young man emerged from the inside, he looked like a schoolboy dressed up, only fifteen or sixteen years old, with very delicate features, black and white eyes that were bright and clever.

With his feet on the ground, he hastily tidied up his somewhat messy coat, put on his shoes and socks, and whispered, "Third Master, get up quickly, grandma is still waiting for you."

After a while, I only heard the person inside say "um" in a nasal voice, and lazily said: "If you sleep for a while, it's still early."

The book boy named Chunhui was in a hurry: "Oh, my good third master, is it still early? It's time for lunch later, and you are still lying down! If grandma waits for a long time, you don't mind, Yu and I Sister Sui will be out of luck, and she will be punished. You can do me a favor, and take pity on the poor little ones!"

Hearing the words, the person inside couldn't help making out with the mattress for a while, then stretched reluctantly, and sat up slowly.

Chunhui was overjoyed, and quickly called the eldest maid, Yusui, to come in to serve her.Yu Sui helped her get dressed again, served mouthwash and handed the face towel, and after all this busy work, she finally tidied up her master.

This is Ji Mo who occupies the body of the third young master of the Li family.In this life, his name is Li Xiuqi, and he is the third son of the Li family of the scholarly family. He has two older brothers and one older sister.As the youngest son, he was loved by his parents, served by maids and servants, and provided with rich clothes and fine food, and was envied by others.

If Zimmer has lived in such an environment, he can take it for granted, but inside this shell is an adult who has passed through modern times, and he is not too cold about the feudal big family.

Just imagine, as soon as you open your eyes early in the morning, you will be surrounded by a lot of people. They will report to him in detail about what he ate, what he took, how many times he coughed, and how many times he cried. Mother.Zimmer deeply felt that he was under the inspection of pairs of eyes all the time, comparable to a camera with no dead angle in all directions, which was unbearable.

Besides, as a big man with all hands and feet, he really doesn't need others to dress him. Compared with being surrounded by servants, he misses the free and unrestrained atmosphere more.He tried to refuse the service of his servants, but the result was that the group of people fell to their knees in fright.

Ji Mo could only suppress his temper and endured for a while, until the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, he forced to drive away most of the maids and mothers on the grounds that he likes to be quiet, leaving only the big maid Yusui in the inner room, and outside Two little maids were left in the house to do some rough cleaning.

His mother has always doted on him, pityed him for his frailty and sickness, and was afraid that he would not be able to get along well, so she didn't dare to please him too much, but she couldn't help telling the few girls left behind, saying that if they don't take good care of them, they will be treated Severely punished, and sent an elderly and reliable nanny to take care of him outside the house, and told her not to disturb the third master for nothing, but if the third master had any troubles, he had to tell her immediately.Ji Mo knew that this was Grandma Li's bottom line, so he had to give in and acquiesce.

Chunhui is Jimo's book boy, and he will come here to give him two books to pass the time, but he is pulled by Jimo who is still on the lazy bed to make fun of him on the bed, even tearing his coat.Chunhui had long been used to his master's mischievous temperament, and allowed him to bully him. If Yusui hadn't come to ask grandma to see the third master, he was afraid that Ji Mo would still make trouble.

Although Ji Mo's current body is not as miserable as Lin Yu, who was born with heart disease, it is also a fragile one. Every winter, he suffers from serious and minor illnesses. The tonic, but it didn't work, the illness still came like a mountain, and went like a thread, he caught a cold, and the whole family had to be on the alert.

When Ji Mo was seven years old, a strange wandering monk came and asserted that he would not live to be thirty years old, and the only way to avoid this calamity was to become a monk with him, but Master Li called his servants to beat him out. .Ji Mo thinks that this is not necessarily a magic stick. He died young in the past few time travels, and in this life, Lin Daiyu's body is spread, and it is eighty or nine out of ten that he will not live long.

While Jimo was being served to wash up, Grandma Li met a guest in the living room.

Zhang Po is a well-known official matchmaker from far and near, and Grandma Li invited her here for a self-evident purpose.Although Mrs. Zhang has been in the business for many years and has facilitated countless marriages, most of them are ordinary people, and she seldom matches up with such a big family as the Li family. up.

Grandma Zhang carefully talked with Grandma Li, recalling what she saw on the way into the mansion, the whitewashed walls and black tiles, pavilions, pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings. mansion.Mr. Qian, the silk and satin shop, just bought a house with four entrances and a pond, and he brags about it to everyone. It's ridiculous that he has never seen a really good one!Looking at Grandma Li now, she doesn't wear gold or silver, and her clothes don't look very luxurious, but she looks graceful and graceful, which is quite different from ordinary women, one can't help being in awe.

Grandma Li said slowly: "My son Xiu Qi is seventeen years old and has not yet engaged. Does Mrs. Zhang know which girl who has not left the court is suitable for my son?"

Granny Zhang immediately became energetic when she heard this, and the names of several women in her boudoir popped up in her head instantly.

She thought about it for a while, and replied: "There are indeed a few girls who are of the right age, and they are suitable for Yemen in the Li Mansion. For example, the daughter of the second master of the Bai Mansion, who is fifteen years old, has a dignified appearance, and will be a good female celebrity. Or Wang Yuanwai's daughter, twenty-eight years old, has a gentle temperament, is good at weaving brocade, and has first-class looks. It's also like the second girl of Xu's mansion, who is good at poetry, literature and piano..."

"The Xu mansion you're talking about is the Xu mansion in Liu County?"

"Exactly."

"As far as I know, the Xu family was born as a merchant."

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly explained: "Grandpa Xu did do tea business when he was young, but Mr. Xu is an elegant person, and he taught his sons the way of a gentleman. A few days ago, his grandson Xu Dashao just passed the entrance examination for a student. An authentic scholar! After opening Qiu Wei, he may become a master of Juren, and his direct sister's status is naturally different, what do you think?"

Grandma Li glanced at her slightly, her eyes were not very severe, but it made Granny Zhang's heart skip a beat.

Grandma Li slowly said: "My Li family has been a scholar for generations, and my ancestors have produced several Hanlin scholars. My husband was a Jinshi in the 13th year of Tongqing, and he is now the magistrate of Chen County. After getting rid of Yuan, the next year, I married the Chen family of Shunren Prefecture, Qin and Jin, and my second son is now a student."

"I'm telling you this not to show off the lintel of my Li family, but you must know that the Li family is handed down from generation to generation with its scholarly fragrance. Although my third son has no fame and fame, it is not easy to marry a famous girl, but my Li family is also very good to my in-laws." There is no requirement, the family background must be clean, even if the ancestors have no fame, they must be farming heirs, the girl is first of all virtuous and respectful, and the second is decent appearance, it is good if she is talented, but not talented."

"Yes Yes."

Grandma Li's tone was flat and straightforward, and she spoke slowly, but she had a sense of majesty. Beads of sweat emerged from Zhang Po's forehead, and Nuo Nuo said yes, but she whispered in her heart: Everyone knows that the third master of the Li family is a sick child. Even the monks asserted that he would not live to stand up. How could a rich family be willing to marry a daughter of a thousand gold to become a widow?Isn't it from Xu's family background or willing to borrow your daughter to climb your family's high branches?

But these words are absolutely not daring to say, she tried to figure out Grandma Li's thoughts, racked her brains for a moment, and carefully said: "Yinu sees that there is a girl who is most suitable, and she is the eldest granddaughter of the Ma family in Liu County."

When she received Grandma Liu's staring gaze, she cheered up and said, "Grandma, please listen to the slave's teachings. The ancestors of the Ma family have been farming for generations, and the land is quite rich. Master Ma is an old talent. A well-known good person." She gave a thumbs up.

Grandma Li nodded slightly. She had also heard that Mr. Ma was a squire of Liu County who was generous and righteous.

"It's a pity that good people don't get rewarded. Mr. Ma only has the eldest son and the second son of the concubine. Unexpectedly, when the uncle went out to catch the exam, he died of illness in a foreign country, leaving only an orphan girl. Poor girl who lost her father at such a young age. My mother couldn't afford to get sick even after hearing the bad news, thanks to her understanding and intelligence, she never pretended to give soup and medicine to her mother, she is truly a filial daughter."

Zhang Po said while paying attention to Grandma Li's expression, she has a way of thinking!She continued: "As soon as she reached the age of Ji, someone came to propose marriage, but she was worried about her widowed mother, fearing that she would be left unattended after marriage, so she insisted on delaying for two years. Now that she is seventeen, if she delays, she will become an old girl. Her mother forced her to die, so the girl is willing to leave the court, who can match this kind of filial piety?"

Zhang Po's tongue was full of lotus flowers, and she praised the horse girl again and again, and then praised her for being filial, kind and caring, and then praised her for being dignified, gentle, and beautiful.

After listening to a few words, Grandma Li counted.If it is true as the matchmaker said, this woman is suitable. Her Qi'er is weak, and the wife she marries must be able to take care of others. This girl has no father or elder brother to take care of her. No power, after passing through the door, he will naturally be more towards the in-law's family.

Afterwards, Mrs. Zhang proposed two more candidates. Grandma Li summed it up, and she felt that the horse girl was not suitable, but after all, her son's marriage should not be sloppy. Things.

Ji Mo came outside the main room and heard the little girl said that her mother was meeting guests in the living room, so she went inside to wait.After a while, Grandma Li came back accompanied by two maids, her brows were slightly happy.

Jimo and her have been a mother and son for more than ten years, and they know her very well. He opened his mouth and asked, "What happened to my mother? Today, I am very energetic."

Grandma Li couldn't hold back her face, a smile leaked from the corner of her mouth, she pressed his forehead once, thought for a moment, and forgot about seeing Granny Zhang just now, she just said: "I asked someone to buy the candied pastries from Xiangquanlou. , will be sent to you later."

Ji Mo complained in his heart that Grandma Li still treated him as a child, but she had to put on a happy look on her face.

The mother and son talked for a while, and Grandma Li suddenly sighed: "My son, you have grown up."

The hairs on the back of Ji Mo's neck stood up, with a bad premonition.

Sure enough, Grandma Li said in the next sentence: "It's time to get engaged."

"I don't want it, mother!"

"what?"

"I don't want to get married!"
