Jia Daishan carefully read the information recorded by these three families, and compared them a little, so it is no wonder that his mother has difficulty making a choice. Then he asked: "Mother, to be honest, I think these three girls are a little wronged by them, and I don't know who to choose, what do you think." ”

Although the old lady finally left the most optimistic three families for her son and daughter-in-law to choose, it was just that it made people feel that Jia Yu's marriage was decided by her alone, after all, this marriage matter was ordered by her parents, and the matchmaker's words were right, although she was a grandmother, she couldn't say anything. But she was satisfied with the three Cheng Dù There was always some differences, so she took the booklet and explained slowly: "The eldest granddaughter of the Zhao family in this university scholar's mansion, fourteen years old, one year younger than Yu'er, is also a match, her grandfather is a first-class scholar, and her father is also a third-grade Taichang Siqing, I heard Min'er say that her character and temperament are very good, but there is one aspect that I am not very satisfied with, that is, the current Mrs. Zhao is the stepwife who gave birth to the eldest son, and Miss Zhao is the daughter of the original match, after all, there is a layer of separation."

As for the three girls of the Chen family of Qi Guogong, although they are meritorious families, her father's high school jinshi is now a third-grade Shuntianfu Yin, and her brother won a meritorious name last year, and his future is promising. It's just that her father is the second son of Yan and can't inherit Qi Guofu, which is also a small pity. In the end, the young daughter of Zhang Jiayan, the head of the Hanlin Academy, and her father were in charge of the Hanlin Academy from the second grade, and they all said that non-Jinshi would not enter the Hanlin Academy, and non-Hanlin would not enter the cabinet. And the top one selected in the triennial imperial examination will directly enter the Hanlin Academy, and her three brothers are one Tanhua, one is a second-class jinshi, and the other is a lifter. Miss Zhang is an old woman, the whole family is very favored, the most important thing is that the Zhang family is a big family, it has been passed down to six generations, and I also see that the Zhang family has our family's merits, which is also the one I am most satisfied with. ”

Jia Daishan listened to his mother's detailed narration and compared them one by one, he also felt that the Zhang family was the best, and his idea of changing the lintel was the most beneficial, and the Zhang family had the most resources in terms of literati. It's just that the Jia family and the Zhang family are not related, and there is no common family, and Jia Yu is not a person with lofty ideals, how could the Zhang family agree to this rash door-to-door proposal?

Jia Daishan hesitated: "Mother, I also think that Zhang is good, but our two families have never had a relationship, so will the Zhang family agree to Xu Zhi with a beloved daughter?" ”

The old lady listened to her son's worries, covered her mouth and smiled, and then said: "You still don't know me, if you are not sure of something, how can you bring it up,"

Jia Daishan listened to his mother's words, and was embarrassed for a while, for so many years, his mother would never do something that he was not sure of, but he couldn't help but be curious: "Mother, don't you hide it, just tell your son, what can you do to get there?" Don't make your son anxious. ”

"You, after so many years, you can't change your temper. Well, in fact, our family has a little bit to do with the Zhang family, but many years have passed, and your father and Mr. Zhang have both passed away, so no one mentions the past. ”

"Why did our family have dealings with the Zhang family, why did I never know?"

"Alas, this is also because in the early years, the civil and military families of the imperial court did not interact, so our family and the Zhang family also cut off contact. If they take this ring to the Zhang family to propose marriage now, they will definitely agree. As she spoke, the old lady took out a silver ring from the blue Ruyi pattern plate, the golden crane longevity pattern embroidered purse.

Jia Daishan saw that the silver ring was extremely simple, it was the most shabby he had ever seen, he didn't understand what kind of story was on this silver ring, which would make the Zhang family kiss, so he watched his mother wait for her to finish the matter.

The old lady continued: "Don't underestimate this silver ring, it is a family heirloom of the Zhang family. More than 50 years ago, that was when I also married into the Jia family, when the war was chaotic, the world was not peaceful, once I went out with your father, on the way met a group of robbers were robbing, and the robbery was a family of scholars and children, without too many guards, seeing that the family died in Jia, your father couldn't see it, and took his own soldiers to arrest all those robbers, so he saved the family. Afterwards, in order to repay the grace of saving his life, Mrs. Zhang handed over the heirloom silver ring to your father, and promised that no matter what time you had to take the silver ring to the head of the Zhang family, you can make a request, and the Zhang family will definitely respond. So you don't have to worry that the Zhang family won't agree to this family business. ”

Jia Daishan then understood that his family still had such a relationship with the Zhang family, but it was too villain to come to the door with a silver ring like this, and after thinking about it, he said: "Mother, we use the grace of saving our lives as a threat, isn't it not good to let the Zhang family kiss, after all, this is a marriage." ”

The old lady sighed and said, "I don't want to do this either, but if I don't act like this, I'm afraid that the Zhang family won't take it lightly." But after getting married, we can be nicer to the girl of the Zhang family, and then wait for the consent of the Zhang family, and then you will ask the saint for marriage, which is also to give the Zhang family a big face, in addition to the royal marriage can get the will of the saint, how many families in the world can get it? ”

Jia Daishan also felt that his mother had a very good intention, so he decided that the young daughter of the Zhang family would be Jia Yu's wife.

In the garden, Jia Yu was accompanying Jia Min to see the scenery, walked to a hexagonal pavilion with heavy eaves, saw that his sister had a light sweat on his forehead, so he proposed to go to the pavilion to rest for a while, just entered the pavilion and sat down Jia Yu asked curiously: "Min'er, you said what your father would say to your grandmother, and you want us to avoid it, it's really strange, there is no such thing in the past." ”

Jia Min didn't understand it at first, but he could guess what his father said in connection with the recent events in the house, so he quipped: "Big brother, I think eighty percent of what my father said is related to you, and I'm afraid that you will be embarrassed to let you and me avoid it." Heh, heh, huh, do you want to know something? He laughed as he spoke.

Jia Yu was still confused, and said ignorantly: "My business, what can I do, hey, don't laugh, I know that I am not as smart as you, and I still say it so vaguely, do you really say what you know." ”

Seeing Jia Yu's complaint, Jia Min smiled and said, "Big brother, you said that in addition to things related to you, there is anything else in the family that needs grandmother to take ideas." After speaking, seeing that Jia Yu hadn't understood yet, she put her hand on her forehead and looked frustrated, and said directly: "Of course it's the eldest brother's marriage, why can't you think of it?" ”

Jia Yu never expected Jia Min to say anything about his marriage, his face was flushed, his heart was very awkward, and he didn't dare to look at her face, so he hurriedly said: "Sister, I have something to do and leave first, then you can go back by yourself." After saying that, he ran out, and the speed was as if someone was chasing after him.

Jia Min was also confused by his series of actions, and he came back to his senses for a long time, only to realize that his eldest brother was shy, and a crisp laugh overflowed. When he was young, Jia Min felt bored and went back to Qingyayuan. As for Jia Yu's marriage, she also knew that it would fall on the daughter of the Zhang family in the end, in her previous life, Jia Yu was married when she was seventeen years old, and this matter will be decided after the year.

In the main room, Mrs. was receiving Mrs. County and her three daughters, at that time she was also very puzzled why the Wang family visited, since the death of her father-in-law, they have had little contact with the Wang family, like the current non-polite visit, but she still said with a smile: "What a rare guest, which fragrant wind will blow Mrs. County Uncle today, it is really puffy, it is really my luck." ”

Mrs. Wang listened to her words and felt very comfortable, and the embarrassment disappeared, this time she came to Jia's mansion was Wang Hao's intention, and asked her to come to talk to Mrs. Jia about marriage, but how could the woman rush to the marriage, and what was even more excessive was that the person who married was also chosen by Mrs. Jia, so what did her daughter become, and she was not afraid that people would know the joke of the Wang family, but she couldn't change her husband's decision, so she had to come.

Mrs. Wang also replied with a smile: "Mrs. Jia is really a clever mouth, and the words that come out are like the fragrance of roses, which makes people feel good." ”

Mrs. Jia replied: "In my opinion, I am not as good as you, if I am a clever mouth, then you are coated with honey, heh, heh, heh"

After a period of greetings, Mrs. Wang introduced the three sisters of the Wang family to her, and Mrs. Jia only felt that the three girls were more lovely than the other, so she praised: "I often hear people praise the girls of the Wang family, and now I know what people are more beautiful than flowers when I see them, she is not just like the peony flower, I really don't know how to say it." ”

Mrs. Wang said modestly: "Madam, you praise them too much, if you compare them with the young ladies in your house, they are as unsightly as weeds." ”

At this time, Perhu served tea and a few snacks, and when the wife saw that Mrs. Wang was bringing her daughter, she ordered, "Go and see what the girl is doing, and let her change her clothes and come out to meet the guests." "Amber took the order.

After the two sides sat down, she called the three girls of the Wang family to the front, looked at them carefully, and said some greetings, and then gave them one by one. Later, he talked with Mrs. Wang.

On the way to the Qingya Courtyard, Na Pohu met Jia Zheng, who was also going, and stepped forward to greet him, Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "Don't be polite, where are you going to do this." ”

Po Hu replied: "Second master, I just went to the girl's place, the lady of the Wang family and the girl came to visit, and the wife asked the girl to meet the guests." ”

"Oh, that's the case, it's really unfortunate, I happened to go to see my sister, but I didn't think she would go to see a guest, then I'll go back to the study first, and then I'll go to see her when Mrs. Wang leaves." With that, he turned around and walked to the front yard.

When Po Hu arrived at the Qingya Courtyard, Jia Min also came back not long ago, and because she accompanied the old lady and walked around the garden with Jia Yu today, she was a little tired, and she rested after returning to the courtyard to freshen up a little, Qian Mama listened to Po Amber's words, and wanted to call the girl to get up, in fact, Jia Min, who was lying on the bed, although her eyes were closed, she was still awake, but she didn't want to meet the guests when she heard that the Wang family was coming. Therefore, no matter how Mama Qian called, she still pretended to be asleep. Seeing this, Perhu had no choice but to go back to her life.

In the main room, Mrs. Wang had been talking for half an hour, and she hadn't waited for Jia Min to arrive, but it was not appropriate to talk about the marriage in front of her daughter, and when she was anxious, Perhu also returned to the main room. walked up to his wife and whispered that Jia Min had rested. After hearing this, Mrs. Wang said humbly: "It's really unfortunate, my girl is not feeling well, she has just fallen asleep, and she can't come to see a guest, please forgive me." ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang felt bitter in her heart, and knew that today's efforts must have been in vain, but thinking about her husband's words when she went out, she didn't care whether her daughter was on the side or not, and said directly: "It's okay, it's a coincidence that we came, I have something I want to discuss with my wife when I come today, I don't know if it's convenient for Mrs. to speak." ”

Seeing that she finally got to the point, Mrs. was relieved, and said: "Mrs. Wang has something to say, just take it, our two families are world friends, what else can't be said?" ”

Mrs. Wang pulled the three girls in front of her and said, "Madam, my three daughters don't know which one you like, if you can like it, it will be their blessing, I will let her always be by your side in the future." ”

The lady was stunned at the beginning of her brainless words, and she didn't know why the girl of the Wang family wanted to stay by her side, and she was not a person without a daughter, but the jade on the side understood the deep meaning of Mrs. Wang's words, so she whispered in Mrs. Wang's ear: "Mrs., then Mrs. Wang is afraid that she wants to give her daughter to the eldest or second master." ”

After listening to Jade's words, Fang suddenly realized, and said: "Mrs. Wang, I like these three girls very much, but as for whether they can stay with me, it is not for me to decide, but I will discuss it with our master, if he can agree, I will send someone to the door." ”

Mrs. Wang was relieved when she saw that she understood the meaning of her words, so she smiled and said: "Then I will wait for the good news, and I have been disturbed for so long today, then I will say goodbye first, and we will gather in the next day." ”

The three girls of the Wang family, except for the youngest three girls, did not understand their mother's words, and the other two were also blushing, but Wang Xin understood that although she was named in the name of her mother-in-law and was the eldest daughter of the Wang family, she still couldn't change the fact that she was a concubine, so she didn't have any hope of marrying into the Jia family. But Wang Xin thinks that she is worthy of the Jia family, and hopes that she can marry into Jiamen in the future and live a prosperous and wealthy life.

After sending Mrs. Wang away, Mrs. asked Jia Daishan to be found. When he entered the house, he said: "Master, just now the lady of the county uncle's mansion came to visit, I heard that she wanted to marry our family, and I have seen the three girls of the Wang family, which is very good, whether it is rationed to Yu'er or Zheng'er, it is good." ”

Jia Daishanlai also wanted to tell her about Jia Yu's marriage, but she didn't expect that she would marry the daughter of the Wang family first. Then he said: "I am already optimistic about Yu'er's marriage, the young daughter of the Zhang family, the head of the Hanlin Academy, as for Zheng'er, he is still two years younger, and I will talk about it when he makes progress in his studies." ”

Mrs. thought for a while and said, "That Zhang family is just a civil official from the second grade, and he has no title, is his status too low?" ”

Jia Daishan was speechless by her short-sightedness, and said toughly: "I have already thought about this matter, so I decided it." ”
