Chapter 1749 Zhao Shu's Marriage Proposal
Zhao Shu and his servant stayed in the small courtyard of the guest rooms in the east yard. In the evening, Qiao Xuan specifically asked the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes and invited Zhao Shu to have dinner together.
The family members did not reject Zhao Shu. Zhao Shu would become their son-in-law sooner or later, so there was no need to avoid suspicion.
Zhao Shu was very impatient. After the three of them had dinner together and were drinking tea in the flower hall, Zhao Shu finally plucked up the courage to stand up, bowed deeply to Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan, and solemnly proposed to Shao Yunduan.
The air stagnated.
Shao Yunduan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Qiao Xuan looked at him, then at Zhao Shu, and slightly curled the corners of her lips.
No sound.
For such matters, her husband just needs to speak up. She knows exactly what her husband is thinking.
This matter has been going on for so long, it’s time to have a result.
Otherwise, it would be unfair to Zhao Shu and Taotao.
Her husband didn't dislike Zhao Shu, he just couldn't bear to part with his only sister.
Just when Qiao Xuan thought Shao Yunduan would not answer and was about to smooth things over by saying he would think about it, Shao Yunduan asked, "Is this how you propose?"
Zhao Shu was startled, and suddenly became nervous. He uttered "Ah?" and stuttered, "I, I, I am very sincere, Brother Shao! I, I promise to be good to Taotao, and will never let Taotao suffer the slightest grievance, and will make her happy every day! Otherwise, Brother Shao and sister-in-law, just come and settle the score with me, I promise I have no complaints... Oh, by the way, I, I will definitely not take a concubine, and I don't even want a maid. I will be devoted to Taotao..."
Shao Yunduan stared at him, and Zhao Shu, who was talking incoherently and incoherently, was startled. He stopped abruptly before finishing his words, "Shao, Shao Big Brother..."
Qiao Xuan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
This brother-in-law is really too bad-tempered! Where can you find a brother-in-law who is so easy to bully and so rich?
If you miss this opportunity, you will never find it again.
Shao Yunduan couldn't bear to listen any longer, "If you want to propose marriage, this isn't the way to do it, right?"
“I——” Zhao Shu was still nervous, his mind in a mess: “Shao, Shao, big brother, then you say, what should I do…I will definitely do it!”
Qiao Xuan couldn't listen any longer and burst out laughing: "Mr. Zhao, you should find a matchmaker to bring the proposal home. You can't be without any of the three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts. Taotao is the only girl in our family, and no one wants her to suffer any injustice!"
Upon hearing this, Shao Yunduan glanced at his wife. Really? He said that, his meaning was expressed so clearly that his wife understood it at once. But this Zhao Shu, actually didn't understand and kept talking nonsense for a long time!
Zhao Shu was overjoyed, his eyes sparkling: "Really!"
Shao Yunduan felt more and more that he seemed a little stupid and glanced at him.
Qiao Xuan suppressed her laughter and said, "Of course it's true. You must remember what you said today and treat Taotao well. Don't let her suffer any injustice!"
Zhao Shu smiled so much that his mouth almost stretched to his ears, and he nodded repeatedly with a smile: "Don't worry! Sister-in-law, Brother Shao, don't worry, I will definitely treat Taotao well, I swear!"
"You don't need to swear. We can see everything you do. If you do something wrong to Taotao, we will not let you go. Since you really want to, then go and propose marriage. It's up to Taotao herself whether she is willing or not."
Zhao Shu still smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, okay! Thank you, Brother Shao and Sister-in-law, for your help, hehe!"
