Regarding Zhen Mingjie's marriage, the first meeting between the fourth wife and the old lady failed to reach a result, and the fourth wife was a little anxious, and then Zhen Wanyi persuaded her mother. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Mother, you just want Sister Zhen to be my sister-in-law, so you don't need to be in such a hurry?"

The fourth wife frowned, "You don't understand, the marriage between Zhenniang and your sixth brother must be decided as soon as possible." ”

Zhen Wanyi was puzzled: "Is it from my uncle's family?"

The fourth wife was taken aback, and then said: "The child's family, what nonsense, you go and find your sister Zhen to play, mother still has something to do." ”

Zhen Wanyi pouted and was kicked out, becoming more and more sure in her heart, something must have happened to her uncle's family in the capital, thinking about it like a cat, what happened to make Cousin Zhen have to marry into Zhen's mansion, could it be that Cousin Zhen had been married before, and ran to Qinghe City in order to escape from her relatives? Thinking about this, Zhen Wanyi hurriedly shook her head, impossible, how much the fourth wife values Zhen Mingjie, it is impossible for her to do something to destroy her son's future.

Before Zhen Wanyi could find out the reason, the first decree of the new emperor who was far away in the capital was sent to the local government by the post station express horse, and said two things in total: the first is that this year's imperial examination was postponed to May 21, and the capital held a township examination in March, and the people who were selected in the examination participated in the May 21 examination together with the people from all over the country, because the capital was besieged by last year's war, and the capital did not hold a township ceremony.

The second thing is to formulate a new law, where the good women of the Great Zhou Dynasty must be married when they reach the age of 16, and the official women must be married at 18, otherwise the official media will be married, and the widow will no longer build the archway.

This decree was personally issued by Emperor Zong on the seventh day of the first month, and the whole country was moved, and these two decrees are closely related to the Zhen Mansion, and the good thing is that Zhen Mingjie can still participate in the examination and it has been delayed for two months compared with previous years. The worry is that there are three daughters in Zhen's mansion, and Zhen Ruyi will be sixteen years old in three months.

Aunt Xue, who heard the news, cried on the spot, and knelt down in front of the fourth lady as soon as she was short, "Madam, slave beg, save Miss Seven." ”

Zhen Ruyi, who was still in a daze, saw it, her eyelids drooped, and she turned her head slightly to look in the direction of the door, a trace of sadness flashed on her face.

Zhen Wanyi saw that she hurriedly stepped forward to pull Aunt Xue, "Auntie, hurry up, this will has just been transmitted, and it will be impossible for the government to carry it out for a while, and besides, there is still a grandfather and father at home, they can't ignore the seventh sister, don't scare yourself first." ”

Aunt Xue raised her teardrop-covered face, no longer the dull and yellowish skin of her youth, but the expression on her face was sincere, Zhen Ruyi was her only dearest, and it was also the hope of this life.

The fourth lady rubbed her temples, helped her, and said after seeing Aunt Xue get up: "You are also a mother, why are you still so angry, even Sister Wan understands the truth, but you are confused." Sister Ru's affairs have me and the master look at each other, and I didn't see it much the same years ago, I wanted to wait until the end of the Shangyuan Festival to discuss it with you, but, seeing you like this, I'll tell you now, just right, Sister Ru also listen to it and understand it. Wan'er, you go to the kitchenette and bring some snacks. ”

Zhen Wanyi pouted, knowing that the fourth wife wanted to avoid her, so she hurriedly said: "Mother, just let me hear it, I can't help come up with ideas, the three stinkers are still Zhuge Liang." ”

Aunt Xue also felt that it made sense when she heard it, on weekdays, Zhen Ruyi would do whatever the fourth lady said, and she had never seen her have different opinions, if Miss Nine was on the side, she couldn't really put forward some opinions. He was busy on the sidelines and said: "Miss Nine is the smartest, it's good to listen to it, anyway, there are no outsiders here." ”

The fourth lady glanced at Zhen Wanyi and nodded her forehead.

Zhen Wanyi knew that her mother had agreed, so she smiled and returned to her position and sat down.

The fourth lady straightened out her mind before she said: "I wanted to see a lot of them last year, and finally compared three of them, which is not bad." One is the fourth young master of Wu Thorn's family, eighteen years old this year, who looks like a talent, and will participate in the children's test with Brother Xiu this year, and may be a talent in the future. The second is the son of Zhang Fuzi's family in the north of the city, he is also eighteen years old this year, and he participated in the township examination with Brother Ming last year, although he fell first, but I heard that the knowledge is very good, and his father urged him to work hard for another three years, and the next subject of the master will be nine out of ten. ”

After a pause, he hesitated again: "This third family, Xuemei, you also recognize, is the son of the fourth cousin of Uncle Zhang's family, and he won the township test last year. ”

The people proposed by the fourth wife have their own advantages and disadvantages, the Wu Thorn family has the right to be rich, and the concubine can split up after getting married, but the fourth young master is eighteen years old and has no fame, I am afraid that he is a gentleman, it is too unreliable. And that son of the Zhang family, this has never been heard of, and his reputation is not obvious. As for the son of the cousin of the Zhang family's uncle's family, alas, when she thinks of the huge population of the Zhang family, Zhen Wanyi has a headache, it is really unreflected.

Aunt Xue pondered for a while before she said, "Have you seen all the wives? What do you think of people? Do those wives get along well?"

The fourth lady took a sip of tea, pursed her lips, and then said: "Among these three people, the fourth young master of the Wu family is noble, Zhang Gongzi is honest, and Qi Gongzi is gentle and polite. The Zhang family has a simple population, a son and a daughter, the daughter is married, Mrs. Zhang is very kind, soft-spoken, has also read, and is easy to get along with. As for the fourth cousin of the Zhang family, you should have heard of it, after the uncle was conscripted, there was no news, I heard that he died in battle, and after so many years, the fourth cousin grew up with a child, so he was a good person, and he was young and young. People are also filial, I heard that they rush to do any work at home, but the fourth cousin of the Zhang family praised when she saw someone. I heard that there are many people who want to kiss her family, but the fourth cousin of the Zhang family has a very high vision, so she has not settled down for a long time. ”

Aunt Xue thought for a while, "This Miss Zhang's fourth cousin slave has some images, quite a shrewd and powerful person." ”

The fourth lady answered: "Isn't shrewd, can she be a widow and raise such a son?" After speaking, she waited for a while before she said, "Xuemei, do you have anything you like?"

Aunt Xue shuddered, hung her head busily, and her face changed, "Madam, how can there be room for slaves and maids to speak in this matter for the young lady to choose relatives, everything is up to Mrs. Command." ”

The fourth lady looked at the low bun in front of her, sighed secretly, pursed her lips and stopped talking. Zhen Ruyi on the side looked at each other, and the silk in her hand was rolled into a ball, just like her messy mood.
