Chapter 87 Marriage

Qin Zhao knew that he had hit a woman, and was afraid that he would hit the other person and fall down, so he quickly reached out to support the other person's shoulders.

Then he withdrew his hand and carefully looked at who he bumped into.

It was amazing to see this, it turned out that he was hit by Xu Ming.

Xu Ming was hit by Qin Zhao, and was straightened by Qin Zhao with his hands, and his face turned red. She covered her face with a gauze fan and asked in surprise: "Qin Zhao?"

Qin Zhao nodded and said, "Xu Ming doesn't know me anymore? I am Qin Zhao."

Xu Ming asked in surprise: "Are you coming to my house to perform? Why are you wearing a big red official robe?"

Qin Zhao chuckled and said, "Don't you know Xu Ming? I've become an official, the defensive officer of Jinghai Fort, with a rank of thousands of households. This official position was awarded to me by the emperor's imperial edict."

Xu Ming also chuckled.

She rolled her eyes and said, "Qin Qianhu, I participated in the selection of women in Nanjing before. The emperor appointed me as a talented person. I heard from the father-in-law in the palace that the emperor favored me and the enthronement of the queen is just around the corner."

When Qin Zhao heard this, he thought of Emperor Hongguang's choice of girls everywhere and asked in surprise: "Is it true or false?"

Xu Ming laughed, his waist bent and said, "Fake it!"

Only then did Qin Zhao realize that he had been fooled by Xu Ming, his face turned black, and he said, "My black hat is real."

Seeing that Qin Zhao was about to be angry, Xu Ming smiled and said, "Brother Qin said it seriously, it must be true."

Qin Zhao wanted to speak but stopped, and thought to himself how could Xu Ming believe that his official position was real?

Xu Ming’s brother Xu Binquan said: “Xu Ming, the official position of Master Qin Qianhu is real!”

Xu Ming looked at his brother's face in surprise, then looked at Qin Zhao again, and said, "What?"

Qin Zhao suddenly became proud and said, "Look? You only believe your brother if you want to tell me."

Xu Ming asked: "Isn't it a show off?"

Xu Binquan said blamingly: "What kind of morality does my daughter sing and performing all day long? Qin Qianhu is a Qianhu enfeoffed by the imperial imperial edict. How can this be fake? If you hit Qin Qianhu, why don't you apologize to Qianhu?"

Xu Ming was stunned for a long time before his face turned red, and he gave a blessing, and said, "Qin Qianhu, the little woman is rude."

Qin Zhao laughed and said, "No gifts, no gifts!"

Seeing that Qin Zhao was not angry, Xu Binquan said, "Master Qianhu, will we go to the second hall to meet the bricklayer?"

Qin Zhao nodded and said, "Okay! Xu Ming, I will meet again if I have the fate!"

Xu Ming was still in surprise. When she heard Qin Zhao's reunion, her face turned redder, and she only said nothing.

...

Qin Zhao entered the second hall and bargained with the five masons, and discussed the project of brick-packing in the village wall.

Xu Deshan was in a good mood when he saw everything going well. The brick walls of this village were a big project, and at least forty people would have to work for a month. The bricklayer was considered a big worker, and the price was three taels of silver a month to hire a wage, and forty people was one hundred and twenty taels of silver. Xu Deshan made his teeth and could earn twelve taels of silver a month.

Xu Deshan was very satisfied just calling the bricklayer and letting both sides make twelve taels of silver when they negotiated the price.

Soon, the two sides agreed on the price. Qin Zhao bought the bricks and the three-way soil by himself, and the mason was only responsible for laying the bricks. The masons went back to pack their luggage and prepared to go to Qinjia Village in Qinzhao to do work.

Seeing the masons leaving, Qin Zhao took out six taels of silver to Xu Deshan and said, "Mr. Xu, this is the tooth money I gave you."

Xu Deshan laughed and handed the money to his eldest son Xu Binquan, saying, "It's rare to negotiate such a big deal like Qianhu Master. The deal is so generous in a blink of an eye. I made a lot of money with these six taels of silver. I was a little sad."

Qin Zhao laughed and said, "It is natural for Mr. Xu to make teeth from it and earn tooth money."

Xu Deshan smiled and said, "Master Qianhu is generous!"

Qin Zhao looked at the yard of the Xu family's carved beams and painted buildings and said, "Mr. Xu, I have something to ask you."

Xu Deshan bowed and said, "Master Qianhu, please speak! If the student knows, he will even say something even if he searches his stomach and digs his stomach."

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "It's not about asking anything else, I want to ask, does Xu Xianggong's daughter Xu Ming betrothed?"

Hearing this, Xu Deshan was stunned.

Qin Zhao said this clearly and clearly, he wanted to marry Xu Ming.

Xu Deshan and Xu Binquan looked at each other, but found that their eldest son Xu Binquan was full of joy. Xu Binquan tried hard to color his father, as if urging his father to agree to the marriage quickly.

Xu Deshan took a breath and said, "If you say anything to Mr. Qianhu, my little girl has not yet been allowed to be."

When Qin Zhao heard this, his face was filled with great joy.

But before Qin Zhao could speak, Xu Deshan said, "It's just Mr. Qianhu, my daughter is only fifteen years old this year, and she is not sixteen years old. I heard from the county master that it is not appropriate for a woman to get married under sixteen. A 16-year-old woman is not aware of the truth. She needs to learn more about the female virtues in the pavilion. Only after she gets married after she gets sixteen years old can she be safe and comfortable and long-lasting."

Qin Zhao was stunned and said, "There is such a saying?"

Xu Deshan smiled and said, "Master Qianhu, there is indeed such a saying."

"I remember that Xu Ming's surrender was half a year later." Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, then I will ask the best matchmaker to be a matchmaker in half a year and tell Xu Ming about his marriage. Mr. Xu must not reject me at that time."

Xu Deshan laughed and said, "Students must sweep and welcome him."

Qin Zhao laughed and said, "So, Mr. Xu agreed to this marriage?"

Xu Deshan smiled and said, "I dare not deceive Mr. Qianhu."

Qin Zhao took a breath, full of expectations, and was a little disappointed. He said goodbye to Xu Deshan and went to Qinjia Village.

Xu Binquan followed Xu Deshan to send Qin Zhao out of the house, looked at his father, and asked, "Father, the young hero of Qianhu, that is the qualification of the dragon among people. Moreover, I see the thoughts of famous girls, and I also favor Mr. Qianhu. Such a marriage is hard to find with lanterns. Why do you delay this marriage?"

Xu Deshan yelled and said, "Quan'er! How do you know?"

"how?"

"Qin Zhao, don't think that he was a thousand households enfeoffed by the imperial edict, and his background is scary, but I heard that he offended Ding Kuichu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi."

"What?"

"Ding Kuichu has already made a statement, and no one is allowed to help Qin Zhao. Ding Kuichu wants to let Qin Zhao know 'the awesomeness of this court'."

"Is there such a thing?"

Xu Deshan took a breath and said, "Wait, wait for half a year. If Qin Zhao resists this past six months, then Ding Kuichu is incompetent, and I will marry Ming'er to Qin Zhao."

Xu Binquan said embarrassedly: "If this Qianhu Master can't wait, what if he married someone else?"

Xu Deshan laughed and said, "My family's name is like a fish and a geese. Where can I find such a woman? I bet that Qin Zhao doesn't like other women now, so I will definitely wait for my family's name to come and ask for it when my family's name is sixteen years old."

Xu Binquan thought about it and laughed.

"Dad, you're too slippery!"
