Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 273 Finding a Wife for Xiao Jinzi

It was already noon when the two woke up again. Song Xiaodi knocked on the door.

"Sister, brother-in-law, it's time to get up and eat."

He Pingdu opened his eyes and found the soft lips of the person in his arms and pecked them again and again.

Then he said loudly, "Got it, let's get up now."

Song Xiaodi's childish voice rang out from outside the door, "I'm not a lazy bug, sister, my brother-in-law is a lazy bug, a big lazy bug who stays in bed all the time."

He Pingdu chuckled when he heard this. Song Sanniang also got up. The two of them tidied themselves up and then opened the door.

Song Xiaodi walked in with a smug look on his face.

"I got up very early today, had breakfast and practiced calligraphy. Master Hu even praised me."

"You are really amazing. Sister will take you to the Bishui Lake to fish tomorrow, okay?" Song Sanniang held his hand and teased him.

He nodded happily, "Okay, I want to go fishing, and I want to go boating in the lake. I still remember the last time my uncles were fishing."

He was talking about the previous visit to Wuyouzhuang to catch fish and barbecue.

Song Sanniang touched his head and said, "Okay, let's go boating and fishing." She thought to herself, it would be nice to have such an obedient and well-behaved child.

When Song Xiaodi went downstairs, he was jumping and skipping, but Song Sanniang glared at him and he immediately went downstairs obediently.

He Pingdu and his friend washed up first, and then sat at the dining table to prepare for dinner.

He Pingdu usually eats very well, and he also enjoys the farm meals like the ones in Wuyou Village.

Seeing that he was enjoying the meal, Song Sanniang planned to bring back some cured meat and dried goods from the farm to change his taste from time to time. She also liked to eat them.

He Pingdu especially likes stir-fried radish with garlic paste. He has always felt that eating with noises is unsightly.

But he found the crisp sound of the dried radish very interesting and fragrant.

He doesn't eat strong-smelling food on a daily basis. If he's going out or meeting guests, he won't eat dishes with garlic or onion flavors.

He feels that life now is like fireworks in the world. He particularly enjoys the atmosphere of chatting about food and other things while eating.

They never talked before meals at home. Occasionally his father would say a word or two, but most of the time it was silent.

After dinner, it was hot outside and no one was going to go out, so everyone stayed at home and played games.

After dinner, Master Hu returned to her room to paint her picture.

Song Sanniang, her four siblings and He Pingdu were playing mahjong in the hall. Song's younger brother didn't know how to play, so he could only watch from the side.

He Pingdu felt sorry for Song Xiaodi, so he asked Aunt Gan to take his place. He accompanied Song Xiaodi to play, and Xiao Jinzi followed with a smile.

"Master, just let me take care of the child. Why do you have to come in person?"

Xiao Jinzi knew that He Pingdu loved everyone in his house, but he still wanted to say something to show his loyalty.

"Okay," He Pingdu answered immediately, and then asked Song Xiaodi,

"Do you want to play with Uncle Jinzi?"

Since Song Xiaodi had a brother-in-law, he would naturally abandon Xiao Jinzi. He shook his head desperately, firmly expressing his refusal.

"Don't don't."

Although Xiao Jinzi knew that this little brat had no conscience and had been playing well with him before, he did not expect that he would betray him when the master came.

His heart was a little hurt, so he pitifully asked, "Master Song, don't you want little Jinzi anymore?"

Song Xiaodi nodded seriously and said, "I have a brother-in-law."

Xiao Jinzi's heart was hit by an arrow again, and Song Xiaodi smiled and made another move.

"Brother Xiao Linzi said that you don't have a wife, so he asked me to urge you to find one."

Xiao Linzi is Xiao Jinzi's younger brother. He has married and has children. He has entered these important stages of life earlier than Xiao Jinzi.

Because he was in the He Mansion, he was surrounded by many maids and had abundant resources. Xiao Jinzi and He Sanye had almost no opposite sex around them except for Song Sanniang and a few other women.

He Pingdu pondered for a moment after hearing this and said, "Xiao Jinzi, do you have a girl you like?

If not, I'll ask my wife to find one for you. It's not good for you to be single all the time."

Xiao Jinzi blushed and said, "Thank you, Master." He almost got stye after seeing the affection between the Master and the Madam every day.

"What do you think of orchids?" He Pingdu suddenly asked.

Little Jinzi shuddered when she thought of Lanhua's serious face.

"Master, Lanhua is too fierce. I dare not."

He Pingdu felt it was a pity. He thought Lanhua was quite good, steady and generous, and a good candidate for a wife.

So he continued to ask Xiao Jinzi what kind of wife he liked,

Xiao Jinzi was scratching his head and thinking hard. Song Xiaodi was worried about him.

"Brother Jinzi, why are you so stupid that you don't even know what kind of wife you like."

Xiao Jinzi was delighted when he heard this, "Master Song, could it be that you know what kind of wife you like?"

Song Xiaodi was so proud when he heard it, "No, I like my sister like this."

He Pingdu picked him up and said, "Okay, you want to snatch my wife from me, but unfortunately your sister has already been married to me."

Song Xiaodi was amused by him and chuckled, "I don't just have one sister, I have two sisters, and all three of my sisters are good."

He Pingdu felt that this little brat still had a conscience and did not show favoritism.

Xiao Jinzi scratched his head and finally figured out what kind of wife he wanted to find.

"I like literacy and can read."

He Pingdu smiled and said, "Since you don't like to study, why don't you find a wife who can study?"

Xiao Jinzi looked at me with an expression that said, "Master, you really understand me." Then he said, "I am a fool. I can't learn anything no matter how hard I try. I have failed the master's kindness.

But I will marry a wife who can read and give birth to a child who can read. Then I can let my child continue to serve the young masters."

He Pingdu was still a little touched. Xiao Jinzi had been with him for so long. Although he was a book boy, he was almost like a half-brother. Now he was thinking about his own children and wanted to follow his own children.

Thinking that he would have a child like Song Xiaodi in the future, he felt tears welling up in his eyes.

His family values ​​rules. His grandfather taught him from childhood that a gentleman should not show his emotions, likes or dislikes. His elder brother and second brother were also brought up in this way.

It was fine when he was young. He was much younger than his two brothers, and they would occasionally play and fight with him. But as their studies became more demanding, and they passed the imperial examinations, got married, and became officials, he became a stranger to them.

Although the brothers and sisters lived in the same family before, they seemed to be separated by a chasm. Now, however, everyone has their own things, but there are many letters between them. The concern and advice in the letters show that the two brothers are not heartless to him.

He stopped thinking about it and said to Xiao Jinzi, "Then I'll talk to my wife and ask her to find one for you." Xiao Jinzi thanked him happily.
