Yijia Dalang is younger than Wu Gongshi, has a better family background than Wu Gongshi, and is more knowledgeable than Wu Gongshi. Wu Gongshi's family was poor and a widower, and he also had a son; The Yi family is not married, although the family is not well-off, but there is a bachelor in the clan, and there are also many people who have excelled in the imperial examination among the clansmen, no matter how you look at it, they are much stronger than Wu Gongshi.

Zhao Kun wants to choose a husband for his eldest granddaughter, no matter how you look at it, there is no reason to abandon the Yi family and choose Wu Gongshi. Although the third room of the Zhao family is not a big family, it is also a scholarly family for generations, and it is a pro-branch member of the Hou Mansion in Jiannan, and in terms of family background, it is not worse than others. Now that Zhao Kun is a newly baked tribute, even if he is old, he is very likely to pass the Tongjinshi exam, so there is no need to underestimate himself too much, and wronged his eldest granddaughter to marry someone to fill the house, right?

However, Zhao Kun has his own difficulties: "Although Wu Gongshi's family is poor, he has solid knowledge, and he can squeeze into the second class today, and his future is limitless." It is true that he has a son, but Yuan Pei died early, and the Yue family is weak, if he is his son-in-law, even if Sister Shu'er is just a house filler in name, he will not be despised by others, and the dignity of the main room will not be damaged. As for his son, he is well-educated and grows up, and it doesn't hinder anything, but it can fulfill the good name of our sister. Although the Yi family is stronger than Wu Gongshi, he is too good, but Sister Shu'er may not be worthy. I met Yi Jialang and knew that he had high ambitions. If the Hou Mansion has the grace of knowing him, he forcibly contracts this marriage, and if there is a dislike between the husband and wife in the future, wouldn't it hurt Sister Shu'er? Moreover, most of the Yi clan are scholars, and the children who are married are also the daughters of the scholarly family. Although our family is also a family of poetry and books. But Sister Shu'er is only better than literacy, and she is not good at poetry and books. It's going to be a joke too. Qi Da is not a coincidence, it is better to find another good match. ”

He figured it out, and the Zhang family also respected his opinion, but he couldn't help but feel wronged for Sister Zhao Shu. Sister Zhao Shu's appearance is ordinary, but she can be regarded as delicate, if she marries in Fengxian's hometown, she will be a big family in Shanghai. can basically be matched, but now not only do you have to marry far away, but you also have to be a ready-made mother when you enter the door. That is the eldest son left by Yuan Pei. The weight is not the same as that born by the concubine, it must not be light, and in the future, Sister Shu'er will have children, and she will be ranked after this son everywhere. Who doesn't care?

Zhang's own house filling. I know the pain of filling the house. However, this marriage was the intention of Sister Shu'er's grandfather, and her great-uncle and grandmother in the other room didn't have much to say, so she could only promise Zhao Kun that Zhao Wei would let Zhao Wei tell Wu Gongshi a mouth.

However, after the banquet was dispersed and the Zhao clan returned to their residences, the Zhang family still inevitably muttered a few words in private. It just so happened that Lu's mother returned home today, and was left by the Zhang family to help take care of the housework and prepare for the marriage of her grandchildren. Hearing the old master's complaint, he smiled: "The old lady also thinks too much. Master Kun is not a fool, how can he not think about his granddaughter? He felt that he had made up his mind to be a fellow jinshi, but Wu Gongshi had a great possibility of being admitted to the jinshi, and the granddaughter of the same jinshi married a jinshi to fill the house, and when he entered the door, he was a ready-made official wife, so where did he suffer? Although the lady in the third room is young, she stays in the south to marry, at most she is just marrying a showman, where is it more decent than being a Jinshi wife? Besides, with Wu Gongshi's family background, most of them will still rely on their wives in the future, and they will not treat Sister Shu'er badly. ”

Zhang was stunned, and then he reacted, but he still couldn't help but sigh.

Although Wu Gongshi still had to prepare for the palace test, he was also very surprised when he got the news. Zhao Kun is not only the deputy owner of the Mingzhi Library, but also a relative of the Jiannan Hou Mansion, he married Zhao Kun's granddaughter as his wife, and he will be the in-law of the Jiannan Hou Mansion in the future, how could he refuse such a good family matter? Moreover, he has been working under Zhao Kun for a long time, and he knows his temperament, and believes that even if the other party's granddaughter looks mediocre, her upbringing will not be wrong, and she should be a good wife. He immediately found a fellow villager to be a matchmaker, came to the door to ask for marriage, and in less than ten days, the marriage was decided.

Zhao Kun was in a good mood while preparing for the palace exam, and at the same time wrote back to Fengxian, telling his father, wife, children and grandchildren about this marriage. He also mentioned that his second granddaughter Sister Run is also twelve years old, and he will pay close attention to the suitable candidate for his grandson-in-law when he is in Beijing, so that the family must not make their own decisions and set Sister Run out.

Zhao Kun made a start, and other people of the Zhao clan who knew about it also began to be moved. Now that there are many talented people in Beijing, it is a good time to find a marriage match for your daughter or granddaughter in the family. As long as the conditions are good and the candidates know the roots, even if the results in this subject are not good, they can also be considered. Maybe those who don't pass the exam will be more likely to say yes.

Zhao Qixuan's daughter Sister Yuan is also fourteen years old, and several clansmen in Beijing in Liufang also have daughters or granddaughters, so they can't help but pay attention to the right candidates. And because they knew that the library gathered a lot of scholars from poor backgrounds, they always found reasons to visit Zhao Kun and take the opportunity to observe a group of young talents. The Yi family brothers are among the best, and the Yi family is even more senior high school, so they are naturally the most enthusiastic about them.

The son of Mr. Yi has always been good friends with Zhao Wei, and was entrusted by the Yi family brothers to quietly come to Zhao Wei to intercede. In fact, in addition to the Zhao clan, there are also many relatives and friends who want to marry the Yi brothers. However, none of their brothers wanted to marry at this time, and their horizons were relatively high. When they marry wives, they also only want to ask for a scholarly lady. As for the other party's family background, property, appearance, etc., it is secondary, and the key is character and upbringing. Mr. Yi's father and son didn't want him to make a hasty marriage, so they asked Zhao Wei to stop him.

Zhao Wei couldn't cry or laugh a little, but Master Yi's father and son had a good relationship with him, so he could only agree, and went to a few families to talk to in private, so that they wouldn't disturb other people's Gongshi studying, the palace test has not yet been conducted, in case of missing someone's future, wouldn't it be a revenge? The people of the Zhao clan hurriedly restrained a lot.

At dinner, Zhao Wei took this incident as an anecdote and mentioned it to Zhang. Zhang sighed there: "It's okay to have three rooms, and six rooms are businessmen, how can you marry a scholarly family?" If it's a scholar from a poor family, it's fine. Don't let them meet a young talent with a bright future, just take the name of our Hou Mansion and force people to agree to the marriage. ”

Zhao Xiu practiced etiquette for days, was eating in small bites, and almost choked when he heard the words, and couldn't help but smile and said to Zhang: "Isn't it?" Even if Liufang is doing business, it is also our family member of the Nanhou Mansion, and it is also famous in Jiangnan, and the daughter in the family is not unable to marry, where is it to the point where you want to force someone to marry? ”

Zhang's worried: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and Liufang has always been domineering." ”

Of course, Liufang is not a soft and harmonious person, when the long room and the small second room were weak, Liufang did not think of taking away the clan's right to speak. But Zhao Xiu doesn't think they can't recognize their position now. Their business is no longer limited to the trading of grain and cotton, and the shops are no longer limited to the Jiangnan region. Even if there is a son-in-law of Jinshi, the energy cannot be compared with the Jiannan Hou Mansion. They know exactly what to do is the best choice.

Zhao Xiu persuaded Zhang: "If grandmother is not at ease, why don't you help a few cousins and nieces choose a suitable marriage?" With you as a matchmaker, the people will feel very decent. ”

Zhang's heart was a little moved. If she's in charge......

Being a matchmaker is really a big hobby of middle-aged and elderly women. Although she is very busy as a housekeeper now, she has no shortage of outstanding young students at hand, and there are a few friends such as Mrs. Cao who can provide more candidates, maybe she can really match a few good marriages.

The first thing that worried her was the marriage of the Yi family. The Yi family is not too young, in addition to being poor, his family background is not bad in all aspects, and he is about to be admitted to the Jinshi. If after the palace examination, he was ordained an official, but he has not yet married a wife, is that like a word? She has to think about it, among the women she knows, are there any good girls who match him?

Sister Zhao Shu has been promised by Zhao Kun to Wu Gongshi, the remaining girls in the Zhao clan are not suitable, and most of the young military attaches are known at the Cao family, and the Zhang family can only ask Mrs. Mi if there is a matching candidate.

At this time, Mi Xingzhi had finished his duties and set off to return to Hangzhou. Mrs. Mi stayed in Beijing to raise the fetus, and after the fetus's condition stabilized, she took her daughter and an aunt Mi, and moved into the inner city with her family, and lived in a house near the Hou Mansion in Jiannan.

This house was found by Aunt Mi to find a broker who had found when she first entered Beijing, and the place was larger than the original courtyard, and the house was enough, and it was closer to the Hou Mansion, and it was much more convenient to come and go with each other. Since Mrs. Mi's mother and daughter moved over, people from Jiannanhou's Mansion came to ask for something almost every day, and the two families of Zhao Mi were very close.

After getting Zhang's letter, Mrs. Mi began to recall which of the girls she knew had not yet decided on a marriage: "The Mi family has four rooms, but there are five or six nephews who have not yet said that they are married, but there are few nieces and nephews, although there are three or two, I haven't seen them for many years, and I don't know what their appearance and character are." The Bian family ......" She paused and reluctantly eliminated the girl from her mother's family. The reputation of the Bian family's daughter is outside, although the Yi family does not know about it, but in case it is calculated in the future, getting married is no different from making enemies.

Mi Yingzhi said to her: "Mother, you have been in much better health in the past two years after Dr. Ye's prescription, and now you are pregnant again, which shows that this prescription is very symptomatic." Why don't you give a copy of the recipe to your aunt and cousins? If their health improves, they will no longer have to worry about their children in the future, and they will no longer have to worry about marriage. ”

Mrs. Mi thought for a while: "It's okay, I will write a letter to Fengxian to your aunt when I go back." She and your Uncle Tao also only have one daughter, and they have long been looking forward to having another son. ”

Mi Yingzhi thought about it and said with a smile: "Mother, it's better to simply invite my aunt to Beijing to live in Beijing for a few months." Although the aunt is good, there are many things, and she has to rely on her alone, which is inevitably harder. If there is an aunt in charge, it will be foolproof, and the daughter will feel more at ease. ”

Invite Mrs. Tao to stay in the capital? Mrs. Mi was taken aback, but soon began to consider the proposal. (To be continued......)
