Ting Zheng was wearing a lotus-blue moire robe, dark soap boots, his hair was pulled up with a jade hairpin carved with tiger stripes, and he wore a short sword around his waist.

Yueyao was very satisfied: "Very heroic. "The training in the military camp for a few years is still very effective, Ting Zheng's appearance has not changed, but his temperament has changed a lot, and Ting Zheng has a straight face outside, so people know that this person is not easy to mess with, and he dare not have a blasphemous heart.

Ting Zheng saw that Yue Yao was going to send him out, so he hurriedly stopped: "Sister, I'll be back soon, don't send it." ”

After Yue Yao waited for Ting Zheng to leave, she said strangely, "Why didn't I feel that Ting Zheng was shy and nervous. ”

Xiang Wei rubbed her stomach with a smile: "The girl can go and ask her uncle, why is Tingzheng not shy?" In the barracks, those men often talk about meat jokes, and Ting Zheng's face has long been tempered to be as thick as the city wall, but Ting Zheng doesn't show it in front of Yueyao.

Yue Yao remembered An Zhichen's usual appearance back then and smiled.

Yue Yao was a little disappointed: "Do you think the girl of the Zhang family is too ordinary?" The girl is not good-looking, it is really a hard injury.

Ting Zheng shook his head: "That's not it, as my sister said, marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, it doesn't matter if you look ordinary, as long as you are a good housekeeper in charge, it's just that I think it's very strange why they brought the ten girls of the Zhang family." ”

Yueyao didn't expect Zhang to go again this time: "It doesn't matter if the ten girls go or not, I just want to ask you, what do you think of the nine girls of the Zhang family?" Look at Tingzheng, he is not very satisfied!

Ting Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister, the girl of the Zhang family has a perfunctory attitude, not sincere, I think it's okay." ”

Yue Yao was a little surprised: "How can you think it is perfunctory?"

Ting Zheng was a little uncomfortable, but thinking that Yue Yao had worked hard to arrange for him, he still said what was in his heart: "If the Zhang family is really honest, they shouldn't bring another girl here, and when they meet, the ten girls of the Zhang family are very active and enthusiastic, but the ninth girl is cold and indifferent, not to mention that you are enthusiastic, at least you have to have a correct attitude." "It's not perfunctory.

Yue Yao felt that this incident was a little beyond her expectations.

Ting Zheng said softly: "Sister, since people don't look down on me, we don't have to catch up, sister, anyway, I'm still young, and it's not too late to wait for three or five years." When Ting Zheng said this, he had already politely rejected this family business.

Yue Yao felt that it was a pity, but Ting Zheng herself was unwilling, and she was not good at forcing it: "Since you didn't take a fancy to it, my sister will slowly find it for you, Ting Zheng, your brother-in-law told me last night that he wanted you to go to the Imperial Forest Army, I think it's good, what do you think?"

Ting Zhengse said: "Sister, when I was in the barracks, I heard Shangfeng say that I would stay in the Imperial Forest Army for a few years, and then I would be released at least as an official position of the fourth grade, sister, now I have this opportunity, I don't want to miss it." "From childhood to adulthood, it was his sister who sheltered him from the wind and rain, and worked hard for him, he had to make himself strong as soon as possible in order to better protect his sister.

Yue Yao expressed her worries, and then said. "Sister doesn't ask you to be a high-ranking official in the future, as long as you are safe, healthy, and healthy, my sister will be at ease."

Ting Zheng's heart was sour, and he choked up: "Sister, don't worry, I will take care of myself." He had complained before, complaining about why his sister sent him to the Li Mansion, why he asked him to follow Uncle Li to a foreign post, and he couldn't see him for a year, at that time, he really felt that his sister was so ruthless and always left him, but as he grew older, he finally understood his sister's hard work, these years, his sister carried everything alone, and he grew up smoothly in Li Mansion.

Yue Yao smiled: "You stupid boy, who is going to marry a daughter-in-law in two years, you still drop gold beads at every turn, so that people know that they can't laugh at you." ”

Ting Zheng's face turned red.

Yue Yao smiled and handed the small ebony box to Ting Zheng: "You are also old, and it is time for you to be the master of your own house, and my sister should also give you these things." ”

Ting Zheng saw that the land deed and house deed were placed in the box, and there was a large amount of money, as if this was a hot potato, and immediately stuffed it back into Yueyao's hand: "Sister, what are you doing here?" How can you give me so many things?"

Yue Yao smiled and told Tingzheng what she said to An Zhichen again: "Mother's dowry plus the interest over the years adds up to about 200,000 taels, and my father just left 200,000 taels." You said that you don't want your mother's dowry, and the dowry is all for me, and now that I have my mother's dowry, the money left by my father will naturally belong to you.

Ting Zheng didn't believe Yueyao's words.

Yueyao laughed and said, "You stupid boy, what did my sister lie to you?" This money is stored in Uncle Li's place, if you don't believe it, go and ask Uncle Li, I will give you 10,000 taels of silver now, this money is enough for you for a while, and the other 190,000 taels of silver, I used 40,000 taels of silver to buy 20 tilts of land and two shops, into the Royal Forest Army to open up the relationship, I took 20,000 silver to your brother-in-law to give you some points, and I will deposit the rest of the money for you to the bank, and when you get married, I will give you all this money. ”

Tingzheng still didn't want it: "Sister, you can keep these!"

Yueyao stuffed the box to Tingzheng and said: "On that day, you said that you don't want a dowry, and the money left by your father and mother is naturally half of your sister and brother, and I won't excuse you, so I got my mother's dowry, and now you say don't give it all to me, you love money so much as a sister?" Love so much that you want to keep the money and property left by your father and mother for yourself?"

Hearing this, Ting Zheng hurriedly explained: "Sister, I didn't mean that, I just thought ......" He felt that he didn't deserve so much money, and he was a man, and he could buy a family business on his own in the future.

Yue Yao naturally knew Tingzheng's intentions, and she deliberately distorted Tingzheng's meaning when she said this in order to let Tingzheng accept the money: "Tingzheng, money is not important, the important thing is that you must put up the door of the second room, so that your father and mother can only see each other under Jiuquan." ”

Ting Zheng stood up, as if swearing to Yueyao, and said, "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely hold up the door of the second room." ”

The two sisters and brothers talked for a long time, and when it was time for dinner, Yueyao couldn't help but ask again: "You really don't like the girl of the Zhang family?"

Ting Zheng said very seriously: "Sister, it's not that I don't look down on Miss Zhang Jiajiu, it's that she doesn't look down on me. That cold attitude made Ting Zheng very disgusted, and he couldn't marry a daughter-in-law, so why bother?

Yueyao feels quite good about Zhang Yueniang, and thinks that she shouldn't be such a person: "Tingzheng, I think you may have a misunderstanding about other girls." Tingzheng, if you don't wait for my sister to find a chance to let you meet again, if you see the girl of the Zhang family again and still think that she looks down on you, then forget it. "If you miss this family business because of a misunderstanding, Yueyao feels that it is a pity, it is not easy to find a girl who can praise Xiang Weidu.

Ting Zheng thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll see you next time I go back to Beijing!" To be able to make his sister value it so much must be something extraordinary.

After Xiang Wei waited for Ting Zheng to go to the front yard, she deliberately said: "Last time you went to see each other, the Zhang family took the nine girls to go, but this time they took them again, don't the girls think it's strange?"

Yue Yao asked, "What do you want to say?"

Xiang Wei saw the clue from the two incidents: "Girl, you haven't thought about why Zhang can get the news?" Could it be that Zhang is so powerful that he can buy the henchmen around Mrs. Zhang San and Zhang Yueniang?" This is obviously impossible.

Yueyao understood the meaning of Xiang Wei's words: "You mean that Zhang Neng followed Zhang Yueniang out, and Zhang Yueniang did it on purpose?" If you think about it, it's quite possible.

Xiang Wei nodded and said, "Girl, Young Master Tingzheng is right, Zhang Yueniang is not optimistic about this family business, girl, since Zhang Yueniang's attitude is so perfunctory, why should we rush to catch up." If Ting Zheng can enter the Imperial Forest Army, the person who says that he is close to him will definitely break through the threshold at that time. Xiang Wei likes Zhang Yueniang, but Zhang Yueniang's attitude makes Xiang Wei uncomfortable.

Yueyao said with a smile: "Think about my attitude that day, and then compare it with Zhang Yueniang's attitude, who do you think is more picky?"

The corners of Xiang Wei's mouth were a little: "Girl, Zhang Yueniang's situation is different from yours, if she doesn't want to, why should she come out?"

Yueyao's expression froze: "Marriage is a lifelong event, so you should be cautious, Zhang Yueniang deliberately took Zhang over to test Tingzheng, I don't think it's wrong." "If you want to say that Zhang Yueniang has a cold attitude, Yueyao doesn't believe it, but Zhang Yueniang is very likely to be tempted.

Xiang Wei wondered, shouldn't this selection of brother and daughter-in-law be a bone in the egg, shouldn't the girl try to pick Zhang Yueniang's fault? How to talk to that girl everywhere.

Yueyao picked a plum and took a bite, she ate one herself and didn't forget to give it to Xiang Wei, Xiang Wei took a bite, and she was so sour that she vomited what she had eaten in her mouth.

After eating two plums, Yueyao washed her hands and sat down again: "People's mother-in-law picks daughter-in-law to pick bones in eggs, and I am not a mother-in-law, Xiang Wei, you think about it for a while, if you are Zhang Yueniang, after so many things, will you become more and more sensitive?"

Xiang Wei sneered: "If she has always been like this, is it possible to be an old aunt?" It's not that Xiang Wei is bad, but in this world, it is not realistic for women not to marry, especially for this kind of big family, which is becoming more and more unrealistic, that is, if the parents do not force them to marry, the clansmen will also say it.

Yueyao felt that Xiang Wei was thinking too much: "Don't think too highly of yourself and belittle others too low." "Of course, there is something wrong with Zhang Yueniang this time, but people are selfish, and they will plan for themselves first, and Zhang Yueniang doesn't know Tingzheng, so it's normal to be on guard. Take her as an example, if she hadn't seen An Zhichen's sincerity, she would have been wary of An Zhichen.

Xiang Wei felt that in the future, Yueyao's son would marry a wife and be her daughter-in-law, who would let her master think so.

Yue Yao smiled when she heard this.

Xiang Wei didn't object to Yueyao, but she felt that Yueyao shouldn't be in such a hurry: "Girl, don't mention the matter of letting Tingzheng and Zhang Yueniang meet again, just tell Mrs. Ma what Tingzheng said, and let Mafu tell Mrs. Zhang San to know, see what they do?"

It is said that the mother-in-law takes care of her daughter-in-law, although Yueyao is only a sister-in-law, but Tingzheng was raised by Yueyao, and it is not an exaggeration to enjoy the right to be a mother-in-law, so Xiang Wei is reluctant to let Yueyao put a section in front of Zhang Yueniang, and now she is at a disadvantage, how can she control Zhang Yueniang in the future.

Yueyao felt funny, but she didn't object to Xiang Wei's words, Yueyao didn't want to give Zhang Yueniang anything, she just wanted to see the attitude of the Zhang family, she felt that Zhang Yueniang was good was one thing, but if Zhang Yueniang was not satisfied with Tingzheng, it was another matter.
