The eldest lady of the Liangguo Mansion, isn't it Azhu?
How could she marry in Baoding?
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly said: "When did this happen?" How come we don't know all of this? ”
Old Madam Guo frowned, obviously feeling that this matter was not appropriate.
Cheng Chi knew that as soon as this sentence came out, it would divert everyone's attention, so he said even more amazingly: "When it comes to this matter, I made it!" ”
Zhou Shaojin and Mrs. Guo's eyes widened.
Cheng Chi said slowly: "In February, King Qing of Sichuan, who was in Sichuan, was questioned for occupying the people's fertile land, and was not only demoted, but also fined two years. Liang Guogong felt that the wind direction revealed by this incident was a little bad, so he wanted to marry his daughter to a family that could best be entrusted for life.
And he begged me.
"It just so happened that when I went to the capital, I met Yuan Beiyun. He just came back from Baoding, and I think it's quite appropriate to talk about an old friend of mine surnamed Fan. I mentioned it to Liangguo Gong.
"Liangguo Gong sent someone to investigate for a few months, and fell in love with the second son of the Fan family.
"I wrote to Yuan Beiyun.
Yuan Beiyun also felt that it was appropriate. I went to Baoding in person. The marriage is basically settled. After the Dragon Boat Festival, then it should be hired.
"Liangguo Gong wants to marry his daughter as soon as possible, and he sent Zhu Pengju to see the days a few days ago.
"If there is no accident, the eldest lady of the Zhu family will get married after August 15."
Zhou Shaojin opened his mouth and stammered.
Ah Zhu, was married like this?
She looked at Cheng Chi. I looked at Mrs. Guo again, and felt as if I was dreaming.
But Mrs. Guo said with a somewhat bad face: "What is the origin of the Fan family?" Don't mess around! Then he glanced at Zhou Shaojin.
Meaning, since the son of that family is so good, why don't you make this matchmaker for Zhou Shaojin.
In front of Zhou Shaojin. Cheng Chi couldn't say anything.
This person was originally for Zhou Shaojin to look at, but later he found that the Fan family acted too modestly, and the wind and sand in Baoding were big, Zhou Shaojin was originally timid and taciturn, and she was afraid that she would be more restrained if she married. Or is it more suitable for Zhu Zhu, who is lively and cheerful, and who can climb trees and go to the house.
He had no choice but to say: "What the Liangguo Mansion values is the character of the other party, and the former dynasty of the Fan family was one of the top eunuchs in Baoding. Although he is downcast now, the wind is still there - someone once died violently in the Fan family's courtyard with his daughter, and the Fan family kept his property for 20 years without moving a penny. ”
In other words, children may not be excellent. But they can keep their promises.
Mrs. Guo understood.
Zhou Shaojin was speechless, and said curiously: "Uncle Chi, how do others know that the Fan family has kept the property for that person for twenty years?" And by what means can the man's descendants prove that the property is their own? ”
Cheng Chi said with a smile: "That person has already had a loyal servant go home to report the news, but the only child of that family is still young, and he is afraid that going to ask for the Fan family will make money and kill him, so he endured it until the child of that family became a jinshi and became famous." Then he took his faithful servant and begged for it. The Fan family died in their own Zhuangzi, so they opened the cage and wanted to find some clues. That's when I found out about the money. And because it was unlucky for someone to die on the Zhuangzi, the Fan family finally sold the Zhuangzi cheaply and put the cage in their own cellar. Later, when the people of that family came to ask for money, the quantity and things were all right, and the Fan family was afraid that someone was impersonating, so they invited the local official to go to the person's hometown to verify. Then the belongings were returned to the family. That's how it came out. ”
If this is the case, then Azhu will definitely not treat her badly after marrying the Fan family!
Zhou Shaojin thought of Gu Seventeen Gu again. smiled: "Uncle Chi, I also want to invite the seventeenth miss of the Gu family!" Then he raised his eyelids and saw Mrs. Guo. And said, "And the young lady of the Guo family!" ”
Cheng Ji also had to ask over there to see if she could follow her to watch the dragon boat race.
Cheng Chi said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted two private rooms that were adjacent to each other, so that you could also entertain your friends." Whoever you want to invite can make a list. When the time comes, let Mama Lu go and post for you. ”
In this way, no one would refuse Zhou Shaojin's invitation.
Mrs. Guo didn't notice these small details, she was still thinking about Zhu Zhu's marriage.
When Zhou Shaojin happily dragged the Spring Festival Gala to Fucui Pavilion to draw up a list, she asked Cheng Chi: "Azhu has the title of the county lord, and she is married, but I am afraid that the Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites will agree." ”
"I've asked Yuan Beiyun to do this." Cheng Chi said, "Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors." Over the years, the Liangguo Mansion has been respectful to us. Help them at this time, just help them! Their situation is also quite difficult. ”
Old Madam Guo nodded slowly and said, "What about the eldest lady of the Liu family?" Pengju's marriage is a little sloppy! ”
Cheng Chi said with a smile: "People are Pengju's own eyes, and if there is anything, he can only carry it by himself." It's hard for us to say anything. ”
"That's just as well." Old Madam Guo sighed and said, "Your sister-in-law is your eldest brother's own eye." ”
Cheng Chi stopped talking.
It seems that everyone has shortcomings.
Her mother's shortcoming is Yuan's.
As long as she talks about Yuan's family, her mother looks left and right, and it is not pleasing to the eye.
Fortunately, the old lady has not lost her mind, and she only complains and complains to him in private.
Zhou Shaojin was there to discuss with the Spring Festival Gala who he wanted to invite: "Azhu was said by Uncle Chi himself, and he must be invited." What's more, she invited me to see the lanterns last time during the Lantern Festival, and she is about to get married. Miss Seventeen of the Gu family and Cousin Ji must also be invited...... Cousin Ji knew that she must be the happiest person, so she didn't have to be grounded. There is also the seventeenth lady of the Gu family, who showed her face in front of the sisters, maybe she can say that she is a good family? But who are the ladies of the Guo family to invite? ”
She was a little embarrassed.
She has only seen several young ladies of the Guo family once, and they don't seem to be smiling, and she doesn't know if she is invited.
If only my sister were here.
She and her sister can go to watch the dragon boat race together.
Zhou Shaojin became excited and decided to write a letter to Zhou Chujin, telling her that Cheng Chi would accompany him and Mrs. Guo to watch the dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival.
She and her sister grew so big. When I was very young, I went to Mochou Lake to watch a dragon boat race. She seemed to be on the shoulders of Fan Liu at that time. Went late. I just remember that there were people everywhere, it was very noisy, there were a lot of snacks, and my sister held her little hand and didn't let go for a moment. I only heard the dragon boat trumpet, but I didn't see the dragon boat. Finally squeezed to see the lake water pavilion, it was almost noon, the dragon boat race came to an end, the sun shone on the lake steaming, she was tired and thirsty, under the service of the housekeeper and grandmother, she drank a bowl of iced sour plum soup and fell asleep according to Fan Liu's family.
But this time Uncle Chi said it. They can sit in a private room and watch.
You don't have to huddle with people like last time.
Thinking of this, Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but sit up straight.
That year, she and her sister were already in Jiuru Lane, and Mrs. Chuda took their sisters with them, but they could only sit in the makeshift water pavilion by the lake.
And the light smoke building next to Mochou Lake has stood there since the founding of this dynasty.
It's not easy to come to these three-wide private rooms.
Zhou Shaojin's heart was pounding, and she covered the letter she wrote to her sister on her chest. It took a while to order the Spring Festival Gala to be sent to Ma Fushan.
When the meal was finished, Cheng Chi asked her, "Have you decided who you want to invite?" ”
Zhou Shaojin's eyes widened and said, "Could it be that Uncle Chi has someone to invite?" ”
It can't be the young lady of the Guo family, right?
She pondered in her heart, and heard Cheng Chi smile and said, "I just want to invite no one to sit with you, you just need to take care of your own affairs." ”
Zhou Shaojin smiled crookedly.
Cheng Chi shook his head and ignored her.
Zhou Shaojin kept a good mood until she heard the news that Cheng Nuo and Wu Baozhang's wedding was scheduled for August 18, and she said to the Spring Festival Gala unhappily: "The fifth room is really true, I know that my cousin's marriage is scheduled for the tenth day of September." They rushed to welcome the newlyweds in before they met my cousin. No wonder everyone doesn't like people in the fifth room! ”
This is quite a pressure on the end of the meaning.
The Spring Festival Gala also held grievances for Cheng He.
Fan Liu smiled and said, "What do you children know!" Uncle He's marriage is a grand and upright affair, like Uncle Nuo, who will marry him today. It is clear that he did not put the bride in his eyes, even if the bride entered the door in the future, he did not have the dignity of the grandmother. ”
Zhou Shaojin thought about it carefully, and it was really the case.
She whispered to Fan Liu and gossiped: "You say, what is Mrs. Wen going to do?" Isn't she afraid that her daughter-in-law will be laughed at in the future? ”
Fan Liu looked around and saw that there was no one else. lowered his voice and said, "I heard Qi'er say that it was the Wu family's meaning." said that Mrs. Wu was pregnant. I will give birth at the end of the year, and I am afraid that I will alarm the fetus in my womb by then. That's why I chose this day. ”
Zhou Shaojin pursed his lips and smiled.
I think it's quite relieving.
Whatever the reason, Mrs. Wu slapped Wu Baozhang again.
And Mrs. Wu's birth is a boy, and since then Wu Baozhang's brother Wu Taicheng's life has not been very easy.
In his previous life, after Cheng Lu was removed from the Cheng family, Wu Baozhang also broke off the marriage contract with Cheng Yuan, married a fallen Xiucai, and settled in Huzhou. Cheng Yi once told her that Xiucai didn't take Wu Baozhang seriously, her life was very difficult, she didn't keep a few children, and she lived by quietly sewing clothes for others. Wu Taicheng did not follow Lord Wu to Yunnan to take office, but stayed in Jinling and became an idle gang. After eating the last meal but not the next meal, my wife finally ran away with others. He was nicknamed "the eldest prince" by the people of Jinling.
Now that I think about it, these two siblings are also wonderful.
The prefect's son and lady actually lived like this.
Especially Wu Baozhang, in her heart, she is a person with a lot of means and scheming, even if she is engaged to Cheng Yan, she will not marry casually.
There is also the prefect of Wu, who finally died in office in Yunnan.
It seems that evil has evil retribution, and the end of the Wu family is not good.
This is also an important reason why she has no bitter hatred for Wu Baozhang after she was reborn.
On the contrary, Wu Baozhang married more reliably in this life than in the previous life.
Maybe it's because she won't be punished if she doesn't do evil?
Zhou Shaojin put these behind him and continued to worry about which young lady of the Guo family to invite!
