Chapter 133: Love
Jia Zhen looked straight, he only liked those cardamom little girls in the past, but he didn't expect this elderly woman to have a different charm, thinking in his heart, but he said,
"Over the years, I have really suffered you, our Jia family is a rough person, it is difficult for you to be willing to marry, Rong'er can have such a ability thanks to your teaching!"
Zhang said modestly, "We are the words of the matchmaker of our parents, why can't we marry or not, besides, this Rong'er has a lot of skills thanks to the old lady, he has the ability to take the imperial examination, and he has always taken care of Rong'er, so thank him or thank him!"
Jia Zhen nodded, "Father does have some ability, but it's a pity that my qualifications were limited back then, so I could only rely on Brother Rong and Brother Qiang." It's getting late today, I'm afraid it's not good to delay, let's go and say hello to the old lady tomorrow morning. ”
"That's what happened. ”
Jia Zhen asked again, "This Brother Rong is now twenty-two, and I was all up to him at this time, I don't know what you look at today?"
Zhang's heart sighed, everyone in this world got married early, not necessarily when Wang Xifeng was fifteen or sixteen years old, it was really difficult for Jia Rong to drag it to twenty-two, originally I just thought that I would have a reputation in the first imperial examination and better find relatives, but it was this stubble, and then it was the death of the Han family to keep filial piety, and it was turbulent in the DPRK and China, and it was pushed to the present, but fortunately, Rong'er was not the only one who was delayed because of the affairs of the court.
"I take a fancy to Wang Mengting and Liu Shanshan, but Wang Mengting's ordinary appearance is afraid that Brother Rong will not be happy, although marrying a wife should be virtuous, and accepting concubines is acceptable, but it is better to be happy between husband and wife.
Liu Shanshan is good-looking and atmospheric, but Brother Rong is a scholar of literature, and her daughter-in-law thinks that if she can, she will choose from the Qingliu scholar's family.
Qiu Zhiqing looked a little arrogant, Li Xiaowan didn't look very good, she couldn't afford to be a sect wife, as for the other girls who looked childish, Jiang Yixue was noble, but the family was a little more complicated, and her temperament didn't seem to be very good. ”
Where does Jia Zhen know who is who, Jia Jing is in charge of big things, and he is not good at seeing other girls, but thinking about the fathers and relatives of these people, it is not bad to think about it, so he said
"Don't worry, pick slowly, anyway, Brother Rong is still young, and he is the eldest son and grandson, he is a capable person, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to pick a good child. Our family does not have many heirs, regardless of who the family is, what the furniture is, as long as the character is worthy of the clan wife, and it is the best to give birth to children. ”
"The master is right!"
Just as these two were whispering, it was rumored that Uncle Rong was coming, and Zhang couldn't sit still and greeted him.
Jia Rong entered the room and kowtowed, "Please be happy old lady." ”
Zhang hurriedly helped the person up, and saw that his face was still a little bad, so he asked,
"Good boy, aren't you feeling unwell, why didn't you rest earlier, and then ran over?"
Jia Zhen was also very proud of this son, and echoed,
"Yes, since you're not feeling well, you should rest early. ”
Jia Rong didn't listen to the words of the two and asked,
"Father, mother, is today's banquet held for me?" Jia Rong's tone was very anxious, and a wisp of red silk went up her face.
Jia Zhen and Zhang thought he was shy, and smiled at each other.
Jia Zhen has been experienced for a long time, and even joked, "You are in your twenties, and you are not married, are we not going to pick a good one for you, and you still don't plan to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?"
Hearing what he said, Zhang glanced at him and persuaded Jia Rong
"Don't listen to your father's nonsense, you've been tired for so long, it's better to go back and rest early!"
Listening to Zhang's words, Jia Rong's eyes lit up, "You really didn't show me!"
Jia Rong's tone was hurried, a little happy, Zhang gradually saw that something was wrong, this Jia Rong is so old, because he wanted to take the imperial examination before, he didn't want to be confused by women, but he didn't even arrange for him in the room, this can be regarded as a strange one in a group of powerful families, and when it comes to reasoning, his parents should be shy and happy, how can he say that he is happy instead of looking at each other?
Zhang's thought of some unsightly preferences of those anointed beams and hakama, could it be Rong'er?
Zhang's heart trembled, but she was a mother, Jia Zhen was still there, it was hard to say it clearly, but she was very sad when she didn't ask, so she could only ask carefully.
"In a blink of an eye, Rong'er has grown so big, a few years ago, it was either the imperial examination or the deceased old lady and the affairs of the imperial court, and you were delayed here, but it is not for the mother. ”
As he spoke, he felt more and more that he was not good, and he delayed his good son here, his heart was sad, and he touched the corners of his eyes.
Jia Rong hurriedly persuaded, "What does this have to do with my wife, it's all about making people." ”
"Today, I have seen a lot of girls for my mother, all of them are good children, all of them know books and etiquette, family background, character, and appearance are top-notch, just now your father also told me, our family doesn't value family background or anything, as long as the child is good, today I let you go over to say goodbye, have you ever taken a fancy to that girl?"
Jia Rong originally heard that the Zhang family still looked at it for herself, but it was not good, and she heard that she didn't care about her family background or anything, and she raised a wave of hope, thinking that she was not easy to hide, so she immediately gritted her teeth and knelt down again.
"Master, wife, my son has a favorite person in his heart, and I hope that the old man and wife will be fulfilled. ”
Zhang listened to him say that he had a person he wanted, bitterness and soreness came together, and he was fortunate and careful to hold that his eldest son had someone he liked, as if he had dug out her heart. But if you think about it intellectually, it is better to have a happy person than to be really obsessed with the goodness of Longyang, for a while, the five flavors exist, and I don't know what to say.
Jia Zhen didn't have such delicate thoughts as Zhang's, and when he heard his son say that he had someone he liked, he became interested, and he thought that his son was stupid to read, but he didn't expect that there would be someone he liked.
Laughed, "Which child's child is it?" Say it and listen to it, if it's good, I'll go to the door myself." ”
"It's a girl from the Shen family. Jia Rong responded.
Jia Zhen and Zhang's two racked their brains thinking that the family in Kyoto was surnamed Shen, and Jia Zhen wanted to make friends with some gentlemen and disciples, but they didn't know much about the official eunuchs in Kyoto, so they couldn't think of it for a while.
However, the Zhang family, as a sect, is also the person in charge of the etiquette in the family, whether it is Xungui or Qingliu, he has some understanding.
"Is it the girl from Lord Shen's family, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites?"
This girl from Lord Shen's family has never had a relationship with their family, so she has not been invited over today, but since Jia Rong likes it, she can also come to the door to discuss it with her cheekiness, Zhang thought sourly.
Jia Rong shook her head, "Not really." ”
Jia Zhen didn't have the heart to guess, and asked directly, "Whose family got the child?"
"It's my classmate Brother Shen's sister, he is in the same class as me, and he is also from the same Jinshi. ”
Jia Zhen nodded, this is not bad.
"What does their family do?" asked Zhang.
"Brother Shen is the adopted son of the owner of the library in the east of the city. ”
The owner of the library is good at collecting books, identifying books, and is also willing to share with the poor scholars, so although there is no official status, but the people are still famous, so that people can get it, even if the status is low, Jia Zhen has no objection.
Only Zhang's heart was more careful, listening to Jia Rong's pushing, not mentioning the girl's original family, and asked worriedly,
"What do their biological parents do?"
Jia Rong couldn't hide it, so she could only come one by one.
