() Soon it spread in the capital, the champion who was just admitted last year, now a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, Du Xinlei, who has repeatedly been rewarded by the emperor for meritorious service, was rejected when he asked Nie Linyu for marriage, but he deserved to be a righteous gentleman, not only was he not ashamed, but he was generous.

"Since ancient times, I have bowed my head to marry a daughter-in-law, and my precious daughter has been raised until she is fifteen years old, how can you marry if you say that you can marry." When Du Xinlei said this, he didn't have any resentment towards the Nie family.

Everyone's impression of him is even better.

On the other hand, on Nie Linyu's side, people think that she is difficult to approach, just like Qin Haowen analyzed, there were few people who proposed marriage, and now the court is even more cold.

The girls who are about to get married, let alone get married, there are few who ask for marriage, which is rare in the upper class of the northern country.

Princess Nie was so worried that she complained in front of Mama Wei more than once, "I look at this Bachelor Du very well, although it is a poor family, it is rare to be sincere to Yu'er, why can't Yu'er look down on her?" ”

Mama Wei said: "The old slave thinks that what the county lord said is reasonable, but do you know that Bachelor Du didn't fall in love with the Nie family's family background?" It's the prince, I'm afraid he thinks so too. ”

Princess Nie is so contradictory, although she also feels that if a man takes a fancy to his daughter's family background, it is absolutely unacceptable, but on the one hand, she also thinks that asking for marriage is not just to look at these, appearance, talent, family background, who would propose to a girl who has nothing?

Even if the matchmaker comes to the door, what he says is nothing more than the appearance and age of both men and women, the geometry of family property, and what official positions the father and brother hold in the court, etc., which is the norm in society.

So Princess Nie was very worried.

On the other hand, Nie Linyu is like no one else, either thinking about some fresh food every day, or chatting with Fu Wenwu.

"Sister Yu, since you didn't want to marry Du Xinlei from the beginning, why didn't you let your uncle go out and drive him away on the first day when he just came to kneel?" After living in Nie's house for more than half a month, Fu Wenwu dared to speak, and his title became intimate.

The current Fu Wenwu, all kinds of performances in front of him are similar to Lin Qingyan in the previous life, Nie Linyu secretly thought in her heart, but she is not

will repeat the mistakes of the previous life, Fu Wenwu is right, and she is different from Lin Qingyan.

She smiled kindly, "If you drove him away from the first day and didn't let him kneel, how could he become his good reputation now?" ”

"Huh?" Fu Wenwu's eyes widened, and he couldn't understand what his cousin was talking about.

"This world is so unfair, the same thing, the evaluation of men and women is very different, my marriage is difficult, it is more difficult to marry than princesses, and if this happens, no one wants to marry me."

Nie Linyu's voice was relaxed, and his mouth was difficult, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, but Fu Wenwu was silent.

In the past, she only felt that this cousin of the county lord was silent and very unapproachable, but now she realized her difficulties, and under the incomparable scenery and dignity, it was a pressure that normal girls could not bear.

Let's take the most important marriage in a girl's life, everyone thinks that Nie Linyu must marry whoever she wants to marry, but this is not the case at all, it is basically impossible to marry the princes, and other clans, as long as they are related to the royal family, they do not lack identity at all, and they may not want to marry such a county lord.

As for the nobles of the family, those who rely on their own skills to fight for this position do not need to rely on the nepotism of the Nie family, and those who have promising children are even more reluctant to climb high, otherwise those who originally relied on their ability to rise to the top may be said by the outside world to be promoted by their father-in-law, which is not depressing enough.

As for those who have no interest and want to cling, or who need to marry a noble girl to improve their coffee position, the Nie family will definitely look down on them.

It's really difficult to get married, Fu Wenwu felt from the bottom of his heart for the first time that it was difficult for him, and it was even more difficult for the cousin of the county lord of the Nie family.

Nie Linyu didn't care, "This is a good thing, at least before I get married, I don't have to worry about marriage anymore." ”

Fu Wenwu's eyes widened again, the customs of the northern country, if a girl and Lu Li have not been married before, they will basically be included in the ranks of old girls, but as long as the man has a high status, it doesn't matter if he is not married at the age of twenty.

So today's princes are all too old, and they haven't married wives yet.

In the past few days, chatting with Nie Linyu, Fu Wenwu has also gained a lot of knowledge, and knows the princes

is really waiting for the price to sell, they are now staring at the prince's position, when it comes to getting married, it is not marrying a daughter-in-law at all, it is marrying a father-in-law.

The family who is qualified to let their daughter be the princess is also weighed in this way, after all, it is impossible to regret it after placing a bet, once you marry your daughter to a certain prince, you can only go one way to the dark.

Because you can't marry your daughter to this prince and support that prince at the same time, whether others will trust you or not, bet on both ends, the biggest possibility is that both ends will not please you.

Thinking about the sister in his family, he wanted to marry Yuan Zimu, the prince of the Nine Emperors, and decided that he could become the crown prince and become the emperor in the future, but I don't know how likely it is.

I only heard Nie Linyu chuckle and said: "Now Du Xinlei has a good reputation and is deeply loved by the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law in Beijing, I'm afraid that everyone who comes to the door to recommend himself will have to break the threshold." ”

She is not worried that Du Xinlei will marry another noble girl and rise to prominence, judging from the information she got before, Du Xinlei and the Lin family have a hot fight, and obviously have joined the camp of the Nine Emperor Prince Yuan Zimu, and Yuan Zimu is doomed to defeat.

Calculating the time, now that the imperial concubine is almost five months pregnant, it is time for Yuan Zimu to start, this is the first step in his downfall.

Thinking of the innocent child in the womb of the imperial concubine, Nie Linyu felt a pain in her heart, in the last life, she was harmed by Lin Qingyan and lost several children, and she didn't give birth to several pregnancies in a row, in this life, do you want to take the lives of other innocent babies in order to avenge herself?

She couldn't bear it.

"Sister Yu, what's wrong with you, why are your eyes red?" Fu Wenwu, who didn't know the truth, asked with concern.

Nie Linyu lowered his eyes, "It's boring to sit, let's go for a walk in the garden." ”

Fu Wenwu was even more unclear, but Nie Linyu had already stood up and walked out of the door, she naturally hurried to follow, and walked side by side with Nie Linyu to the back garden of Nie's mansion, now that it has passed March, the weather is gradually getting warmer, and the scenery in the garden has become better.

Not far from "Meow", a cat meow was heard.

Nie Linyu hurriedly followed the sound and looked over, only to see a little milk cat standing not far away, furry and very cute.
