Ding Yanshan was so angry that she almost dropped her chopsticks. She was about to have a seizure, but she heard a woman's voice outside: "Oh, what a coincidence, I didn't expect Second Master Long to eat here."
Ding Yanshan looked up and saw that the person who came was Jiang Hui, the daughter of the Jiang family. Like Ding Yanshan, she desperately wants to marry into the Dragon Mansion and become the second wife of the Dragon. Ding Yanshan hurriedly turned her head to look at Long Er, she also looked surprised when she saw him, presumably he was not the one who made the appointment.
Long Er was really surprised, he wanted to use Ding Yanshan's hand to teach Ju Muer a lesson, but he didn't want to hold a fight for the throne of Mrs. Long Er in this Xianwei Building.
One woman is difficult, two women make trouble, and three women make a mess. Long Er is constantly entangled by women with various excuses, of course he is well versed in the way.
He frowned, seeing Jiang Hui sitting down uninvited, and arguing with Ding Yanshan, he couldn't help but start to have a headache. He turned his head to look at Ju Muer, she was listening to the two girls comparing each other and talking mockingly to each other, Long Er swore that although the expression was only fleeting, he did see the smug look on Ju Muer's lips Smile.
Long Er suddenly lost the interest to tease Ju Muer anymore. He knew that his worry now was how to get out of the fight between these two daughters with dignity. While thinking about this, a woman's voice suddenly appeared at the door of the private room: "Oh, what a coincidence, what kind of wind is blowing today, how can I meet these people? Miss Ding, Miss Jiang, it's been a long time, you still like this You are so energetic. Second Master Long, Qin'er is very polite here."
Another one
Long Er's forehead twitched, and he subconsciously looked at Ju Mu'er again. The smile on her lips deepened.
Long Er's face stiffened. It was embarrassing for him to be surrounded by several women. Although he knew that Ju Muer couldn't see him, he still turned his face away.
He is very upset!
The new girl took her seat. Leaving aside Ju Mu'er, the situation became two-on-one-on-three.
The three girls began to attract Long Er's attention in various ways, rushing to talk to him, and sarcasm and insinuated each other.
After Long Er dealt with them a few words, he called Li Ke in, and while instructing him to call Xiao Er for hot tea, he gave him a look. This is his code, which means to let Li Ke find an excuse to let him get away. Li Ke naturally understood, he nodded, turned around and went out to call Xiao Er.
Just as Li Ke left, two female guests came back. They were all well-dressed and spotless, and it was such a coincidence that they all came to Xianweilou for dinner, and they happened to meet Long Erye by chance.
Long Er's face was as black as charcoal. On this rainy day, they all dressed up like this and ran out to eat? It's really hard for them.
Five women filled the table, and no one paid attention to Ju Muer.
An ordinary girl dressed in coarse cloth is simply unattractive. Who are the real opponents, of course everyone knows in their hearts. They had been fighting secretly for a long time, and they happened to show their performance in front of Second Master Long today. No matter how bad it is, it's good to spoil the other party's chance to get together with Long Erye.
Long Er was bored and irritable when he heard them chirping. At this time, Ju Mu'er, who had always seemed to be absent, got up and said goodbye softly. Long Er stared at the smile on her lips when she left, feeling really angry in his heart. Seeing that she moved much faster when she left than when she came, he felt even more angry for no reason.
Ju Muer left, leaving behind five beautiful girls. Behind each girl stood a girl who spoke eloquently. There were ten girls in total, and twenty eyes were staring at Long Er.
Long Er felt that this horrible scene was unbearable for any man.
Long Er admires himself very much, he thinks his endurance and tolerance are excellent. Because now he can still laugh. He greeted everyone with a smile to eat quickly, then he clenched his fist to his lips and coughed lightly.
This cough made the five daughters frown, their faces showed concern, and they asked Long Er if he was unwell. Then they did what they could, and began to introduce doctors, folk remedies for coughs, and concern about the thickness of clothing.
Before Long Er's patience ran out, Li Ke finally appeared.
Li Ke rushed in with an anxious expression on his face, Long Er's face straightened, and he praised in his heart: This time the expression was well acted. He remained calm, and only asked in a deep voice, "Why are you so panicked?"
Li Ke saluted urgently, panting: "Director Tie sent someone to report that something urgent happened in the mansion, so let the second master return quickly."
Long Er frowned pretendingly: "Is that so..." He looked at the girls. Everyone hurriedly seized the opportunity to show reason and gentleness, and rushed to say: "If the second master has something to do, please go back to the house as soon as possible."
Long Er got up and saluted: "So, Long Mou will take the first step. This meal will be hosted by Long Mou, girls, please don't be polite, we will meet again some other day." After he finished speaking, he turned his head and left.
Long Er walked out of Xianweilou and found that the rain had stopped. The coachman drove over in his carriage, Long Er waved his hand to signal no need. He walked in the direction Ju Muer came by himself, and after a while, Li Ke followed.
"Second Master, after you left, they said that every time they meet, it won't take long, either because there is something in the Dragon Mansion or in each shop. It seems that this trick can no longer be used in the future."
Long Erzheng was not happy, and he scolded him after hearing this: "You acted too much, you were fine before, but this time you reported something to the mansion, why are you panting, it's not that you came here from the mansion to report it."
Li Ke scratched his head, not daring to refute: He is a guard, not an actor.
Long Er continued to "hum" and said: "Don't worry about them, how dare you complain? Since I know that every time they pester people, there will be troubles in my house, so I should understand what's going on. If you are sensible, don't bother me. "
"However, the family status behind them can be used by the second master, and it can't be justified if they don't look good every time."
"Then I'll leave it to you. I'll wait for you to make up some good-looking ways." Long Er glanced at him, and he dared to say that he only improved a little after so many performances.
Li Ke really wanted to say that the tea-splashing trick Ju Muer used last time was really natural and effective, but it was appropriate for her to do it, and it seemed inappropriate to do it by herself. Before he could speak, Long Er suddenly waved his hand and jumped onto the roof beside him.
Li Ke was startled, looked left and right, no one was there on a rainy day, so he also jumped up. At this time, Long Er was already lying on the edge of the eaves and did not move. Li Ke didn't know what happened, so he imitated his master's sneaky appearance and fell over.
Looking around, it was Ju Muer talking to the little girl named Su Qing in the corner of the alley. Su Qing took out a few steamed buns from her bosom and said, "Sister, are you hungry? You must not be able to eat this kind of treat. Look, I bought you a few steamed stuffed buns, which are still hot. Eat before leaving, it will be cold in a while."
Ju Mu'er was really hungry, so she agreed, took a bun and ate. Su Qing was careful, and while holding her umbrella horizontally to block the wind, she asked, "Then why did Second Master Long invite sister to dinner?"
Ju Muer slowly finished eating a steamed stuffed bun, and then replied: "It's nothing, I probably want to ask my family about learning the piano."
"It's possible, isn't it?" Su Qing handed another bun into Ju Mu'er's hand, as if she didn't believe it, "Then why did you ask me to use the name of selling flowers to talk to the personal maids of those wealthy families about the dragon?" The second master is here today to have a banquet?"
"Wouldn't it be nice if more young ladies came, maybe I could take on some piano teaching jobs?"
Su Qing thought for a while: "That's right." She handed another bun to Ju Muer, "Next time there are people who ask Qin like this, let them go to the wine shop to ask. Your eyesight is not convenient, go all the way One trip, I still can’t eat, how hard it is.”
Ju Muer agreed with a smile, but Long Er didn't listen any more. He turned and jumped off the eaves and walked back. Li Ke didn't understand what he meant, so he followed suit.
Along the way, Long Er was speechless. When he got into the carriage, Li Ke heard him grit his teeth and say: "Sly, really sly!"
The gathering in Xianweilou made Long Er's face dark for half a month.
Because from that day on, those five daughters tried their best to snatch Second Master Long.
They handed out greeting cards, gave gifts, and invited Erxiang Long to meet and talk with various names. Even now when Long Er goes out, he can "encounter" with a certain lady wherever he goes.
Presumably they were stimulated by the dinner at Xianweilou that day, and felt that if they didn't work harder, the wealthy son-in-law would be snatched away by others.
As soon as they act actively, they will naturally drive other people. Several rich and powerful families who were familiar with Long Er came to inquire about Long Er's intention of marrying a wife. There are also those who invite Long Er to meet and discuss business under other pretexts, but end up selling their daughters while talking, or they send a matchmaker and Yu Nai from the Dragon Mansion to inquire about Long Er Master's wishes.
In short, the popularity of Long Erye has been fully reflected during these days. The market has also begun to spread the word, could it be that the iron tree is about to bloom, and the second master wants to marry a wife
Long Er was so angry that his nose almost crooked. This trouble was caused by that annoying Ju Muer. He just wanted to embarrass her, just a little prank, but he didn't expect her methods to be more ruthless than him.
The frequent actions of the daughters-in-law and the active lobbying of the matchmakers finally alarmed Madam Yu in the Dragon Mansion. She began to have some confidence in the marriage of her master, Long Er. After several plans, she decided to use the name of Long San's wife, Feng Wu, to invite all the young ladies to come to Long Mansion to enjoy plum blossoms as guests, and took the opportunity to let the second master see each other, and quickly settled the marriage.
"But the plum blossoms are not blooming well." Feng Wu said.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a pretext. The important thing is to let the second master see more. Once he is moved, the marriage will be easier." Yu Yuma is very concerned about Zhang Luo's matter.
Feng Wu rubbed her chin: "Actually, I think that letting the girls bring the dowry list is directly more important than financial resources. It is estimated that the second uncle has a better chance of being tempted. It is better to compare the speed of reading the ledger and the skill of planning. This is more It's easy to win Erbo's obsession with money."
Feng Wu was talking happily when Nanny Yu suddenly coughed twice. Feng Wu was startled, and the back of her spine suddenly felt a little chilly. She will take it easy, turn around slowly, and see Long Er standing behind her.
At this time, Feng Wu was sitting in the garden with Madam Yu discussing the reception of all the daughters of the family when they arrived at the mansion tomorrow. They didn't expect that Long Er, who was supposed to be reading files in the library, would come over at this moment.
Feng Wu giggled, pretending that she hadn't said anything. This marriage is the Achilles' heel of the second uncle in the family, and something will happen if you poke it. What's more, in recent days, every time I saw him, I would see a black face that looked like he had swallowed a croton. She didn't want to annoy him, causing her relatives to be assigned to some crappy place to collect debts.
At this time, Long Er's face was indeed dark, he was very unhappy: "Siblings really care about me."
"That's it." Feng Wu moved calmly, trying to get Nanny Yu to help her block, but she still said, "Second Uncle is the pillar of the family, and the whole house is naturally concerned about it. Right, Madam Yu?"
Long Er didn't give Nanny Yu a chance to help out, and immediately asked, "Aside from comparing financial resources and accounting skills, what other good ideas do siblings have?"
He made it clear that Feng Wu was not good-looking, but now Feng Wu was not convinced. She also has a temperament that needs to be coaxed by Mao, and she was very unhappy that Long Er didn't let her go down the steps, so she said: "There is a way, but it's not what I thought, it's what my sister-in-law said."
She raised her head and said arrogantly: "Sister-in-law said, according to the temperament of the second uncle, it is not easy to find a wife. If not, she will let the uncle go to the second uncle like a bandit to snatch the relatives back. Look, the sister-in-law also cares about you. Yes, but compared to the past, my method is more decent, and it can also save the second uncle's worry. Isn't it, the second uncle?"
Still worry? One of the two sisters-in-law said that he was obsessed with money and didn't pick women for money, and the other said that he was hard-tempered and unlovable, and he couldn't please his wife. They think so highly of him, how can he rest assured
Long Er took a deep breath, and told himself in his heart that he should not be as knowledgeable as women. No, you can't have the same knowledge as the women in your own family, and you should care about other people's families.
Long Er was about to talk about it again, teach Feng Wu a lesson, she is the mother of two children, she must be dignified and virtuous, don't embarrass the Long family, don't teach the child badly, but he hasn't said anything yet, Madam Yu Mammy spoke first.
"Second master, look, the uncle's young master can ride a horse, and the third master's young lady can also call him father."
Long Er's heart trembled, he saw Feng Wu sniggering from the corner of his eyes, and now his face was about to twitch. He hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, these days pass quickly. It's really hard work for the nanny to help the third child take care of the doll." He glared at Feng Wu as he spoke.
"It's not hard, it's not hard." Madam Yu said with a sincere expression, "Second Master, these past few days, Master and Madam have been looking for me in a dream. They asked me how the situation in the house is. The three sons Is everything all right? I told them everything about the house. The master and wife are satisfied with everyone else, but the fact that the second master has never married has made them panic all the time."
Long Er forced a smile on his face, this Nanny Yu is really getting more determined as she gets older, her parents have passed away for many years and still feel panicked, what is this made up
But the parents are gone, and even though Mammy Yu is a servant, she is actually an elder like a mother. No matter what, Long Er couldn't find fault with her old man, so he could only say: "Mommy, turn around and comfort me. Parents, eldest brother and third child have children, and the Long family already has a descendant, so I'm not in a hurry, not in a hurry."
Aunt Yu sniffled, took out her handkerchief, and burst into tears as soon as she spoke. Feng Wu watched from the side, admiring her, and secretly gave her a thumbs up.
Nanny Yu pushed Feng Wu's hand behind her, squeezed it, conveyed the meaning of "Let me come", and said to Long Er: "Second Master, this old slave knows that you have supported me for so many years. The Long family, I have really suffered for you. Now life is better, and it is smooth inside and out, but there is no shadow of your daughter-in-law. The old slave has no face to face the master and wife. How dare you tell them What comfort. At this old age, I am afraid that I will not be able to last for a few years. If I meet the master and wife in the ground, if the second master has not yet married, how will you let the old slave explain to them?"
Long Er coughed several times: "Nurse, you also know that it is not easy to support a family, especially our Long family, there are so many people watching outside, waiting to find a soft spot, and now Bi parents have just passed away. Time is strong, but you can't take it lightly. This is a big business, and everything needs to be taken care of. The eldest brother is away all the year round, and I have to help him with the official relations, and the third child... "
When Feng Wu heard how her husband was involved, she hurriedly said: "What's the matter with my family Long San?"
Nanny Yu waved her hand imposingly, took over the right to speak, and asked quite seriously: "Second Lord, what conflict do these have with your marriage?"
Long Er choked, knowing that Nanny Yu could no longer be soft and hard. He considered carefully, and replied: "Well, it's not that I don't want to marry a wife, but the ones outside this family... Don't be upset, Mammy, I mean, I have to find a good one carefully, otherwise I will spy on my family property and seek the marriage of my Long family. Li, or if someone with an outsider has the heart to deceive my Long family, what should I do?"
Yu Yu replied angrily: "Second Master, you are more worried than an old woman like me. Let's not comment on Second Master's own ability, but you see that the wife of the uncle is reasonable, and the wife of the third master Shanwu, the second wife came in, the sisters-in-law took care of each other, how could she turn the world upside down?"
Feng Wu nodded vigorously, seeing that Er Bo was deflated, she was in a really good mood.
Long Er was so blocked that he couldn't speak, and he finally said after a while: "Nurse really has confidence in sister-in-law and younger siblings."
"I also have great confidence in the second master. If you really marry a wife and start a family, it must be a powerful husband, a virtuous wife and a filial son."
"That's it, that's it." Long Er replied awkwardly, how could he say no.
"Since that's the case, then the second master should make the marriage soon."
Long Er smiled, then smiled, and finally said: "How can you decide on a lifelong event? There is no rush, don't worry, Mammy, I will choose carefully."
"If you want to be picky, that's fine." Nanny Yu jumped up from her chair in good spirits, and she jumped out of the chair quickly. After a while, she conjured up a big bamboo tube from nowhere and carried it over. painting scroll.
The smile on Long Er's face was almost lost. He heard Aunt Yu say: "There are thousands of good girls here. I have read them carefully. In terms of appearance, character, age, and family background, they are all good. The second master just chooses carefully and carefully." Choose. Which one do you like, and I will arrange to propose marriage right away.” After she finished speaking, she took out another piece of paper and handed it to Long’s second hand, “This year must be too late. These are good days next year. It's the most auspicious thing to have a wedding, second master, hurry up, choose a girl, and pick a day to do the wedding. I can make arrangements for what needs to be done at any time. "
Long Er really couldn't laugh at this time, he said hello casually, and said that he remembered that there were still some urgent files to be processed in the library, and then fled quickly.
Nanny Yu chased after him and shouted: "Second Master, for tomorrow's plum appreciation tea party, Second Master must come!"
Feng Wu saw that Long Er's body froze and his pace quickened, and he couldn't help laughing until he lost his strength. In her opinion, it was really boring for Erbo to use the excuse of "busy" every time he got away. She bet that the second uncle must be very busy tomorrow.
The next day, Long Er was really busy. He said that last night he received a report from his subordinates that there was some trouble in the business in the neighboring city, and he had to deal with it himself, so he couldn't have tea with all the daughters. He purposely greeted her, as an explanation to Nanny Yu, then got into the carriage and hurried out of the city.
This matter fell into Feng Wu's ears, and it made her laugh again. She was really curious about what kind of woman would end up with her second uncle.
