Liu's movements were very fast, and he sent a housekeeper to deliver a message to Tan early the next morning.

Another day passed, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao'er's family went to Liu's house to visit relatives.

After the two families greeted each other, Liu naturally asked about Zhu Yan.

Seeing that the three sisters were still there, Liu Lin coughed softly when he talked about these marriages, reminding Liu that he should avoid the children to discuss them.

Seeing that his mother was so nervous, Liu smiled and said: "Everything in my family is discussed by adults and children, and I have asked Jing Rui about this matter in front of the family, so I don't need to avoid children, my children are relatively precocious." ”

Liu Linshi: "......"

Precocious children: "......"

Tan Shi saw everyone's expression of being thundered, so he smiled and said: "As far as my sister and brother-in-law are honest, Xiao'er and their brothers and sisters are not precocious, and their family is estimated to have been swallowed alive by life!"

Liu: "......"

When Liu Lin heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.

The two of them are not so useless, right? This topic is too unpleasant, let's get down to business!

The three Xiao'er sisters didn't want to stay here to listen to the adults discuss these things, so they all found an excuse to leave.

"Sister-in-law, you are relatively well-informed in the city, what is Miss Zhu's character, have you inquired. ”

"I have been in contact with that child a few times, his character is very good, he is not informal, I heard that he is quite business-minded, when Master Zhu was in good health in the past, he always praised her outside and did not let her shave her eyebrows! I know that you are not the kind of person who only looks at the door, since it is for Jing Rui to marry a daughter-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, character or something is the most important, I think except for the door is too far apart, the girl is very good. Old Man Zhu and Mrs. Zhu are not the kind of people who tend to be inflammatory, they are also well-known good people in the county, and wherever there is a disaster, there is their name for donation. As early as when he received Liu's message, Tan asked a woman he knew well.

People who are familiar with the Zhu family also praise Zhu Yan endlessly.

Hearing this, Liu Shi nodded: "I really don't pay much attention to the door. ”

"Zhu Yan's eldest brother has no intention of doing business, and wants to take a career in office, and he was also admitted to Juxian Academy this year, and it is a matter of time before he changes his family. It's just that Old Man Zhu is not in good health, he has been sick for a few years, I heard that I am afraid it will not last long, if Old Man Zhu can't survive, Miss Zhu will have to keep filial piety for three years. After the Chinese New Year, Miss Zhu is already sixteen years old, and in order not to delay her, Mrs. Zhu has been looking around recently to see if there is a suitable man. ”

"There is nothing for a man to marry after he is nineteen or twenty, most of the men of many families in the imperial capital city are married after the age of twenty, I heard Imperial Doctor Luo say that it is better for a man to marry after the age of twenty. But it's a bit late for a woman to get married at the age of nineteen. It just so happens that I also want to do Rui'er's marriage as soon as possible, and I'm not afraid of your jokes, Xiao'er will get married in a few months, and now there are many things in the family that Xiao'er and Yun'er help deal with together, if the two sisters are married, I will definitely not be able to do it alone. Now the family is big and the business is big, and every year there are new shops and new industrial ,......"

"The two brothers Jingrui are busy studying, and the children are not busy with the affairs of his father's court, and they don't have much time to help me, Xi'er has begun to learn housekeepers, but she has to learn a lot with Mama Rong every day, and that girl has recently been crazy about medical skills and martial arts, if you don't marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, take Xiao'er to familiarize herself with the situation at home before she gets married, I'm worried that I can't be busy alone." ”

"You, you are a blessed one, you have enjoyed the blessings of your children early, you really envy me! Now if you want to choose a daughter-in-law, you must definitely choose a capable one, otherwise you will really be too busy. Zhu Yan's child is a strong outsider, and in order to let her eldest brother concentrate on studying, she has picked up the family's business in the past two years, so that the ancestral industry has not been eaten away by her second uncle. Tan couldn't understand how the two couples who were once honest gave birth to a child who was better than the other.

"Hearing you say this, Miss Zhu is a capable person, so I can rest assured, then Ming'er, you help me go to Zhu's house to find out, and settle this matter as soon as possible, on the fifth day of the new year, we have to rush back to the imperial capital." ”

"So soon, the year hasn't been over yet!"

"The child's father has taken a total of more than a month off after the New Year, and this is the first month, and there are many things to be done in the yamen, so he can't delay any longer. ”

"I don't know when we'll see each other. Tan said reluctantly.

The two grew up together since childhood, and later became sisters-in-law, and their relationship has always been very good, and it is normal to be reluctant.

"Jing Rui and Xiao'er get married, I can't spare you if your uncle doesn't appear! Mother, you will also get the imperial capital when the time comes! Otherwise, I won't follow." ”

"It will be there then. Liu Lin nodded in response.

"Zhiwen and Zhiwu are so competitive, they will definitely be able to take the test before coming back after this year, and they will definitely be able to enter the Shi and the first in the future, and maybe they will be able to be officials in the imperial capital at that time, and your family will also move to the imperial capital at that time!"

"Let's talk about it! Neither my mother nor my grandfather like to live in the imperial capital, and I don't like it either. You know that I have a pungent temperament, and I am worried that I will offend nobles every day when I live in the imperial capital!"

Liu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "When Zhiwen Zhiwu comes back after earning a life for his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law will not be afraid! At that time, my sister-in-law will be a nobleman!"

Tan Shi smiled when he heard this: "Your mouth is getting better and better at talking." ”

The three of them talked about some other things together, and the atmosphere was very good for a while.

On the second day, Tan personally went to Zhu's house to run around about it.

Shengping Hou intended to marry his family, and Mrs. Zhu was so frightened when she heard this.

When her daughter tried to save her family's life with such an idea, she felt strange and disagreed, she didn't want her daughter to joke about her lifelong happiness.

Later, her daughter came back and said that the matter was solved, and there was no need to rely on marriage to pull the relationship, and the county lord of Rui'an was willing to help solve it, so she put her mind at ease.

Now that the Marquis of Shengping really sent someone to match, Mrs. Zhu thought that her daughter had deceived her, so she said: "Mrs. Liu, it was all a misunderstanding before, our family does not sell women to steal their lives, nor do we sell women for glory." ”

Selling women to steal a living?

Liu was a little dumbfounded, Mrs. Zhu's brain couldn't be a problem! She obviously came here to find out! When did she sell her daughter for glory?!

"Mrs. Zhu, have you misunderstood? I'm here to help my sister-in-law ask you if Miss Zhu is willing to marry the eldest son of the Marquis of Shengping. This selling women for glory is too serious!"
