Chapter 1025: The Man Comes Riding on a Bamboo Horse (4)
Ning Xiu stopped working at this moment and went straight to his father Ning Yasi's workshop to talk to him about this matter.
"Dad, what should we do? Sese can't enter the palace." Ning Xiu was so anxious that his eyes were red. "Sese doesn't do any housework at home. If she goes to the palace, she will only be doing servant work. If she doesn't do it right, she might even get beaten. She's so weak!"
Ning Yasi's expression also became solemn at this moment, and he said in an angry tone: "Speaking of which, it's all the fault of that kid from the Xiao family. If he hadn't broken the contract at the last minute, Sese's marriage would have been settled earlier, and we would naturally have been able to rest easy."
When the marriage was mentioned, Ning Xiu also came up with an idea: "Dad, we must quickly arrange Sese's marriage before this matter spreads. That way, even if the selection of concubines comes to the capital, they won't force a married woman into the palace."
"Although this is an idea, how can we find a suitable partner in such a short time?" Ning Yasi sighed, "It would be best if the person is younger. After the selection is over, if Sese doesn't want to get married, we can cancel the engagement without delaying her.
And you have to be a good person, otherwise if you refuse to cancel the engagement, it will cause trouble again!"
"A moderate family background is enough, but she must have a craft that can support herself!" Ning Xiu also put forward his own opinion. "We are just jewelry craftsmen, so we don't seek to marry someone of high status. As long as we are of equal status, it will be fine."
I have to say that craftsmen who like to strive for perfection may have similar thinking patterns.
Look, Xue Yao also thought of the conditions that the Ning family father and son wanted, and Xue Yuan did meet these requirements.
But the father and son only focused on the people around them. After thinking about it, they couldn't think of any reliable candidates, so they couldn't help feeling discouraged.
After that, these two guys lost their motivation to work all day. There were several times when Ning Xiu would have been injured if Ning Yasi had not been there when he was working.
When Ning Yasi saw this situation, he felt more and more that this was not a good time to work, so he simply asked for a day off for himself and his son Ning Xiu, and planned to go back to discuss the matter with his wife Tao Fangfei.
For so many years, although Ning Yasi has always been the one earning money to support the family, in his heart, Ning Yasi has always felt that his wife, who is two years older than him, is the backbone of the family. His wife is smarter than him and considers things more comprehensively than he does.
And when Ning Yasi and his son rushed home without stopping and saw his wife entertaining Xue Yao, he felt even more so.
That's right! How could he forget the father and son from Xue's Blacksmith Shop? Doesn't the young blacksmith Xue Yuan perfectly meet the requirements he and his son just had in mind?
Although Xue Yuan is darker and taller and stronger, which blacksmith is not like that?
Eh? Looking at the beautiful Xue Yao, Ning Yasi changed his mind - except for people like Xue Yao.
"Master Ning, how are you?" Xue Yao bowed as he watched the Ning father and son enter. "You used to come to my shop often to repair tools, but in recent years, it seems I've only seen your son come here."
"Didn't I get promoted to chief engineer? The tools we have now were prepared by people arranged by the young master." Only a few people knew that Ning Yasi became the chief engineer, like Wang Qichuan, who often followed the Ning father and son to show off.
Even the manager didn't quite understand what was going on here. He only knew that Ning Yasi's work was now arranged directly by the young master.
Ning Yasi said this at this time just to raise his own value.
After all, Xue Yao had his own blacksmith shop, and he worked for Jiuhualou.
Tao Fangfei felt somewhat helpless after hearing this - ha! No matter how old a man is, his desire to win never wanes.
Not wanting her husband to say anything unpleasant, Tao Fangfei said directly, "Don't waste time. Master Xue is here today to propose marriage to his son Xue Yuan."
The Ning family father and son looked at each other.
Although Ning Yasi had just thought that Xue Yao's son Xue Yuan was a good candidate, it didn't matter what he thought.
But if someone actively asks for your "treasure", that's another matter.
Of course, Ning Xiu was even more impatient than his father. He said worriedly, "Uncle Xue, why did you suddenly come to my house to talk about this? My sister and your Ayuan have probably never met before!"
As soon as these words came out, Ning Xiu realized it instantly.
Xue Yao came to visit, probably because he met Xue Yuan today when his sister went to get tools for him.
Xue Yao didn't say anything, but just looked embarrassed.
He had originally planned to visit again tomorrow, but when he was working in the afternoon, his eldest son was always in a daze and grinning foolishly - this idiot, he said before that he would think about it, but now he has a one-sided love for her.
Unable to bear his son's absent-mindedness, Xue Yao had no choice but to go to the Ning family a day in advance to test the waters.
Xue Yuan also came. As soon as he entered the door, he said that he wanted to take the little girl from the Ning family out to buy some delicious food.
The little girl was also quite interesting. When she heard Xue Yuan was talking about a shop she had never been to, she pleaded with her mother for a few words. After getting her consent, the two children went out together.
After his departure, Xue Yao and Tao Fangfei were left alone in the Ning family.
Therefore, the door of the Ning family was open, and the two people were standing by the door talking.
