Female Farming Pond Fish

Chapter 140 Request

When they got there, Chen Chengyu went to greet them as planned. Chi Xiaotong took the two elders to walk around pretending to buy things, taking the opportunity to observe.

Unable to tell Zhao Pannu, Chen Chengyu seemed particularly nervous.

Zhao Pannu knew nothing about it, so she just had a normal conversation and greeted the guests.

Watching from afar, Father Chen was quite satisfied with the child.

If you want to know more, it’s best to find a local.

Chi Xiaotong had no idea what happened afterwards, because the two old people abandoned her and went to find out on their own!

It was not until after dinner that they met up at the restaurant.

"How is it?" Chen Chengyu couldn't wait to ask as soon as he saw Chen's father.

The two old men looked very calm, and it was hard to tell whether they were satisfied or not.

"We have already found a matchmaker and will go to his house tomorrow morning! Let the matchmaker sound out the situation first!" Mother Chen spoke slowly until they finished their meal.

Chen Chengyu swept away his previous anxiety and smiled broadly.

Chi Xiaotong was also happy for her.

I have to say that the two old men are very efficient.

"Wait for the news!"

"Uh-huh!"

……

The matchmaker didn't arrive until noon.

Even when there were outsiders around, Chen Chengyu remained calm as usual and sat upright.

Chi Xiaotong also listened quietly on the side.

"They said that the betrothal gift is ten taels, and the dowry is a box, cabinets and other things. But they have a requirement for their daughter-in-law!"

"What request? Just tell me!" said Chen's father.

"That Zhao family girl is a scholar, but she never passed the imperial examination in her entire life. She has become obsessed with studying! She has no daughter to inherit the family, so she demands that her daughter-in-law must be a scholar!

I've been talking all morning, my lips are almost worn out, but it's no use. Everything else can be discussed, but this one can't be changed!"

Father Chen glanced at Chen Chengyu.

He smiled and said, "Well, give us some time and we'll discuss it. Then we'll give you a reply!"

"Okay, come find me later!"

After the matchmaker left, Chen's father asked Chen Chengyu.

"You heard it too. It's not us who disagree, it's the other party who disagrees!"

"No, I remember his family conditions weren't that good! And she's so picky. She couldn't pass the exam herself, but she wants her daughter-in-law to pass? She doesn't even look at whether her son and her family are worthy of the scholar's family!" Chi Xiaotong complained angrily.

There is another sentence that Chi Xiaotong did not say: Whose Xiu is interested in her son? Considering that it was the person Chen Chengyu liked, Chi Xiaotong just thought about it in her heart.

Here, it is very difficult to pass the examination to become a scholar, and the qualification is extremely valuable.

"I asked you to take the exam before, but you refused!" said Chen's mother.

"What should we do now?" No one spoke, so Chi Xiaotong could only ask first.

For a moment, all eyes were focused on Chen Chengyu.

"Mom, Dad, can you please decide first? I will try my best to pass the exam!" Chen Chengyu said with determination.

Mother Chen shook her head helplessly.

This child is really like her in this respect. Once I make up my mind, I will not change. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, I like him. As long as he doesn't reject me, I will definitely marry him!

Looking at Chen Chengyu, Chen's mother thought of when she was young, she had done many earth-shaking things in order to marry Chen's father!

She couldn't help but look at Chen's father, who happened to be looking at her. The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time! Obviously they thought of the same thing!

"Of course you can, but it depends on the other party! I'm afraid the other party won't think highly of you, a student who just made it through the qualifying line!" Chen's mother said jokingly, perhaps because she was reminiscing about the past, had a childish innocence or something else.

"mother!"

"Hahaha!" The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

"Then I'll go find a matchmaker and buy some things to see if the marriage can be settled!" At this time, Chen's father is still reliable.

"I'll help!" Chi Xiaotong volunteered.

When I got married, it was the Chen family and Chen's father who helped me with the arrangements. Now that I have experience, I will definitely help.

"Okay, go shopping first! I'll go find a matchmaker!"

After leaving the restaurant, the troops split into two groups.

Chen's mother and father went to discuss with the matchmaker, and Chi Xiaotong and Chen Chengyu went to buy things according to Chen's father's instructions.

To discuss the marriage, you can’t go at night, you have to wait until the next day.

Having been informed in advance, when Chi Xiaotong and her friends arrived, Zhao Pannu's mother and father were already waiting in the main room.

This was the first time Chi Xiaotong came here, and she looked around secretly.

To be honest, the Zhao family's conditions were not that good, and were not much different from Chi Xiaotong's previous house.

Zhao Pannu was not there, only his mother and father were there. His mother was still sitting in the main seat, and his father was standing on the side.

At first glance, Chi Xiaotong didn't like this seating arrangement very much, but she didn't show it and sat down obediently.

Throughout the whole process, it was Zhao Pannu's mother who discussed with Chen's mother, and his father didn't say a word.

Occasionally, Chen's mother would turn around and ask Chen's father for his opinion. Whenever this happened, Chi Xiaotong felt that Zhao Pannu's mother didn't look very happy.

It seemed that in her eyes, there was no need to ask men for their opinions.

Chen Chengyu also felt it. He looked at Chi Xiaotong and the smile on his face faded a little.

Because there was already a scholar in the family and Chen Chengyu was a student of the Tongsheng School, Zhao Pannu's mother agreed to arrange the marriage, but she also insisted that Chen Chengyu pass the examination to become a scholar before they could get married.

Chi Xiaotong rolled her eyes secretly. You have so many requests. If Cheng Yu didn't like your son, do you think you can be so arrogant? I'll give you some face. Do you really think you are a nobody?

After listening to the conversation between the two parties, Chi Xiaotong was too lazy to even maintain a fake smile on her face. She had no opinion on Zhao Pannu, and she didn't like the Zhao family at all.

Fortunately, the two families live far away from each other, and after getting married, she will definitely live on her side. Otherwise, facing this old man who is obsessed with reading every day, Chi Xiaotong is really afraid that she will not be able to maintain her dignity.

Until finally, when everyone had gone out, Zhao Pannu chased out, blushed, stuffed a handkerchief into Chen Chengyu's hand, and ran back in a hurry.

As a result, Chen Chengyu wanted to speak, but couldn't say anything.

The door was closed, but Chen Chengyu was still watching.

"Still looking? The door is closed! Come back! Wait until you marry her so that you can look at her every day!" Chi Xiaotong waved his hand in front of her and teased.

"Sister, I understand you a little bit now!" Chen Chengyu suddenly said in a low voice.

"Understand me? You are more deeply trapped than I am! The family you care about is not much better than the Tian family! You have to be prepared! This is different from Xiaoyu's, and we can't break off the relationship!"

"Well, I'm prepared!"

"That's fine. You advised me before! Now it's your turn. How does it feel?"

"As long as it's him, I'm willing!"

"You!" Chi Xiaotong was helpless and amused.

"Sister, I'm sorry. I was... I was ignorant!" Only after experiencing it, will you understand. Chen Chengyu formally apologized to Chi Xiaotong.

"No thanks. I'm not insensitive! You're doing this for my own good! I understand now. Stop being so stern and be more friendly to your brother-in-law. Even if you don't say it, Xiaoyu can feel that I feel a little restrained when facing you!" Chi Xiaotong said with a smile.

"Um"

This time, Chen Chengyu really accepted Tian Yu from the bottom of his heart. As expected, only by empathizing can one truly understand.
