Chapter 247 Liu Huai's Blind Date
"Liu Tixia, men get married when they are old, women get married when they are old. There is no man in the world who doesn't marry a wife, or a daughter's family who doesn't marry? Why do you lead troops in the army so disgusting when you see a daughter's family? If you like it, you will talk about marriage. If you don't like it, you will think it's like eating at my house."
While wiping his hands, He Da’s wife smiled and said to Liu Huai who was gathered with her colleagues to have tea.
The two families became familiar with each other. He Da’s wife was concerned about Liu Huai’s marriage and asked him to go on a blind date at his home today. The woman’s surname was Fan, and she was from the foot of Tangzi Mountain in Huyang County, Tangzhou in the north. Her father was a poor rural teacher and looked very beautiful. Her father taught that she could read and write since she was a child. Although the Tang scholar was poor, he regarded this daughter as the pearl in his hand and loved her very much.
A young man, Fan Xuezhao couldn't get his dowry and his daughter couldn't get married. He was reluctant to leave his daughter for a bad family or for his concubine, and he delayed until he was twenty years old. Because his son went to school, He Da's wife learned about this and tried very hard to invite someone to come and see Liu Huai. Tang Xuezhao was a person who loved his daughter and lived in the town for a while. When his daughter came to see him, he would come to drink at night only after agreeing.
Liu Huai experienced this kind of thing for the first time, and was born in the Xiangjun. To be honest, he had a different status in this era, a little inferior and a little shy, so he attracted a few colleagues with his good looks. He only saw the girl and said a few words, and then he was very satisfied. But how could he have the nerve to be with the girl when he was watching? The girl sat in the house, came outside and had tea with her colleagues.
Zhou Su asked Liu Huai in a low voice: "This girl is beautiful and quiet. Her father is a pedantic and very good family. Do you like it? If you like it, say it early and don't let others sit there."
Liu Huai whispered: "What kind of person are we? Who doesn't like such a girl? She is just afraid of delaying others."
Zhou Su smiled and said, "You are the commander of the cavalry, and you have a lot of money and food. Why are you not worthy of a poor peddler? We are different from before, so what's wrong with the military man? Maybe that girl likes you when you look heroic and handsome?"
Liu Huai shook his head: "How can the Yingtianxiang Army be taken seriously? After all, it is a local education, not an imperial guard, and the official position is just a fake photographer, not a court official. How can you take fake official position seriously? You always feel that saying this to others is a bit lying to others."
Wang Liang said: "Why are you still worried about these things? The court is not determined. We will go south to quell the rebellion in a few days. As long as we capture that guy Nong Zhigao and have military merits, the fake official will of course be a real official. How could he be a lie?"
Liu Huai said: "But I heard that Nong Zhigao was so treacherous that he was so sloppy that he ran along the way and fled back to Yongzhou. We were going to Guangnan East Road. I think there was no big battle to fight, so what military achievements would be?"
He Da’s wife, who was preparing food and drinks, said, “What are you guys whispering there? If Liu Tiehe doesn’t like me, I will go to the village to invite a few women to come and talk to him and have a meal for a while. Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing to sit there alone!”
He Sanlang said: "Sister-in-law, why don't Brother Liu look down on me? He is very satisfied. He just thinks that girl is too good and he is not worthy of her."
He Da’s wife laughed and said to He Da: “You are washing vegetables here, I will go in and talk to someone.”
He hurriedly agreed that the couple knew what their wife meant. Since Liu Huai was satisfied, he hurried in and asked the girl. If he had a good impression of Liu Huai, he would call Tang Xuejiao and meet her husband and son-in-law.
When I entered the room, I saw the girl sitting by the window, holding her chin and looking out the window. It was winter, and the dead branches and leaves of the trees outside the window were trembling in the cold wind. A bright sun in the sky traced the gold edge on the window.
He Da’s wife stepped forward, pushed a small box to the girl, and said, “How can I sit wither? There is sugar here, which I bought from the shopping mall in Fancheng. It is said to be called sorghum syrup, soft and glutinous, and very delicious. I don’t know if it is really made of sorghum.”
Sugar is a rare product, sorghum candy is a type of malt sugar, which sells very well. Girls are greedy and like all kinds of candies the most.
The girl took a piece, peeled off the bamboo paper outside, put it in her mouth, and bit it gently, which was extremely quiet.
The girl's name is Fan Xian, nickname Jiaojiao, which was found by He Da's wife. After she ate the candy, she said, "Miss Fan, what do you think of Liu Tixia outside? He is now a commander in the cavalry of Yingtianxiang Army, with more than a thousand men and a lot of money and food every month-"
Fan Xian said: "I'm not greedy for money, otherwise I'd been married long ago."
He Da’s wife nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course, you have to choose a good family for getting married. It is not good for people without money, and it is difficult for women. However, if you meet a good family and have some spare money, wouldn’t it be better? Liu Ti’s army led troops and heard that it would go south to quell the rebellion in a few days. They practiced extremely hard, so it is not easy for such an army to make some military achievements? There is a future."
Fan Xian listened quietly, without saying anything.
He Da’s wife said again: “Liu Huai not only has an official position, but has a future, but also has a very good person. Needless to say, you see, you are full of heroic spirit and a very good mind. Look outside, if you are not a good person, you will not have such a group of friends. He Sanlang and his colleagues in my village know his character very well. There was a big insect nearby. He saved my child regardless of his life—”
Fan Xian said: "Before I came, I asked someone, Liu Tixia is a good person. But, he is so old, why haven't he married? Could it be that there is a wife elsewhere, and others don't know?"
He Da’s wife smiled and said, “How could this happen? Liu Tixia used to be a slim-shaped army, and the military man was looked down upon and there was not much money and food. He was afraid that he would harm his daughter, so he never got married. The Yingtianxiang Army was different, and they were all selected, and they were all good people—”
Fan Xian asked again: "Since he is a good person, why did he join the wing army? Could it be that he had been guilty before and was sentenced to be exiled?"
He Da’s wife waved her hand quickly: “If there is no such thing, all those who are exiled will be stabbed in the face. Where can Liu Tixia have it?”
Fan Xian said: "I heard that there is a potion that can remove the Nirvana from the face of human beings. Di Wei of the Southern Expedition was born as a military officer. Later, he was selected to be the imperial guards and became the Grand Marshal of the Privy Council."
He Da’s wife said: “Liu Tixia is a good person and has never violated the national law. I have asked this clearly. If not, how dare you mention it?”
Fan Xian nodded and did not ask again.
He Da’s wife saw the signs and asked carefully: “After asking these, you are always relieved. What do you think of Liu Tixia?”
Fan Xian nodded: "He's a good person."
He Da’s wife asked again: “Is it to your heart?”
Fan Xian nodded and said nothing.
He Da’s wife asked again: “Since that’s the case, please come and drink a glass of wine together? I’ll call the sisters in the village and we can also drink and have fun. As long as it suits your wishes, Fan Xuezhao will talk to Liu Tie about the rest.”
Fan Xian was silent for a while and said, "The family is poor, and my father loves wine. He naturally likes drinking a glass of wine."
