Although an engagement is not as good as getting married, it is not a trivial matter, even if it is not as fanfare as it is to get married, a banquet must be held, and relatives and friends still have to be notified.

Guo was pleased, Xie was not angry, and when he came to Mrs. Qiao, he was annoyed and angry.

The second wife of Shen is now away from Beijing, and the nephew and daughter-in-law of the Xu family have never been close to the Qiao family, and the old lady Qiao has no choice but to hold her breath.

Not sooner or later, the day after receiving the invitation from the Shen family, Master Qiaosan's letter arrived in Beijing, which said that the eldest daughter was married.

Old Mrs. Qiao knew, and she was depressed again.

It was not good to hold the elders before, and the matter of directly marrying Shen Cang and the Xu family was because there was a sister who had not been married to the granddaughter of the third room. Looking at the candidates in the letter, they are just newcomers, not official eunuchs, and Mrs. Qiao and Mr. Qiao have no interest in this family business.

Master Qiao is still dissatisfied with his younger brother: "The third child is really a good student, even if the niece is a concubine, it should not be so hasty... I really don't know the hearts of good people, where are the two families I was looking for before?"

Mrs. Qiao glanced at her son and didn't answer the conversation.

Master Qiao's own grade is not high, what can he find for his niece? In addition to the widower's continuation, it is difficult to talk about other people's relatives if he is physically disabled.

He doesn't care for his niece, but Master Qiao San loves his daughter.

Master Qiao San left his son in Beijing and brought his daughter to take office, which was to show that he did not want his brother to interfere in the affairs of his children.

When Old Lady Qiao thought of this, she only felt bitter in her heart, and sighed faintly.

His own family is in the middle of the road, and his sons can't work together. Even if Shen Cang and his wife don't give her aunt face, for the sake of her children and grandchildren's future future, she can't go far from there......

Shen Zhou's family letter arrived in Beijing at about the same time as Qiao's family letter.

Although Shen Cang is not such a small-bellied chicken intestine person, he still couldn't help frowning after reading the letter from the second master.

Shen Yan, the son of Shen Qing, the grandson of the Shao family, the great-grandson of the Shao family, was selected by the third master Qiao as the son-in-law of the eldest daughter.

Last year, when Xu came back from Songjiang, she mentioned the Shen Yan brothers to her husband. Although the Xu family did not meet the Shen Yan brothers in person, they may have been valued and interceded by the eldest master of the sect, and the two brothers also have merit.

Although the Shao family did evil back then, it is not surprising that the Shen Yan brothers kept the blood of the Shen family, and the eldest master of the sect had the heart to make peace.

It's just that the old lady in the second room was there back then, and the second room didn't nod and let Shen Yan return to the sect, and the other heads of the room were not qualified to say more.

If Shen Luo is still there and Shen Yan's brothers have no flawless character, they will return to the sect with the branch of the family, and there will be no obstacle to the branch of the family; Now that the younger generation is younger, two of them are heirs from other houses, and one is swaddling and frail, so it is not appropriate to have more troubles. Otherwise, when the older generation passes, there will be no more disputes.

Even if he didn't intend to let Shen Yan's brothers return to the sect, Shen Cang couldn't reach out and suppress it, but they didn't get along.

But Shen Yan passed the township exam and became the son-in-law of the Qiao family, even if he didn't enter Beijing this year, he always had to enter Beijing to take the exam.

Shen Cang couldn't help but be a little annoyed, not annoyed by the Qiao family. Even if the two families are relatives, they are two families in the end, and there is no reason for the Qiao family to choose a son-in-law and the Shen family to nod; He was annoyed by the second master, since the third master Qiao asked the second master, and he took into account the Shen family, the second master should not nod.

In this way, it seems that the Shen family has recognized what Master Qiao San did, and he will not be upset in the future.

The eldest lord was upset, so he went back to the backyard and gave the second master's letter to the Xu family.

Xu Shi read the family letter and shook his head: "The second uncle has always been soft-hearted, I'm afraid he can't bear it." ”

Since the third master Qiao heard about the grievances between the two families, and took the initiative to ask the second master, it was to hand over the choice of this family business to the Shen family. If the second master objected, the third master Qiao would definitely not accept this family, otherwise he would be disliked by the second room of the Shen family.

If the second master understands people, he shouldn't nod his head and make trouble for himself.

After all, the Qiao family is the aunt family of several masters, and the maternal elders are the only ones in Beijing, and they can't avoid it.

While the second master nodded, he also accepted the Shen Yan brothers in disguise.

If the Shen Yan brothers take advantage of this kinship in the future to climb the pole, the diaphragm will still be here.

But this is all a trivial matter, unless Shen Yan has a shocking talent, let alone a lifter, even if the current Jinshi and the first have to survive, they are not qualified to make the eldest master and the Xu family jealous.

Seeing that the eldest master and the Xu family were worried about not the Shen Yan brothers at all, but the temperament of the second master

"Hey, I don't know if it's right or wrong to nod and let him out... I thought that he could take the initiative to ask to go out of Beijing, that is, he would be sensible, but he didn't expect to be so indecisive in handling things, and he couldn't handle this little thing well......" The eldest man sighed.

Even though the eldest brother and the second brother are only five years apart, the eldest brother is like a father, and even if the eldest brother is dissatisfied with this younger brother, he is still concerned in the end.

Xu knew that her husband was worried, and comforted: "The second uncle is an auxiliary official, and there is an old man in Beijing, so he can't get out of any baskets." If it's really a matter of officialdom, isn't there still the two ......masters that the master is looking for?"

The eldest master said: "Now that everyone has passed, it's too late to regret it, let's take a look, if you are still not angry like this, you will want to transfer him back in three years...... Even if you are old in Beijing, as long as An An is born, you can worry less about people......"

How much I expected from my younger brother before, how much disappointment the eldest master has now.

Thinking about the age of Shen Rui and Shen Jue, and then thinking about the fourth brother in infancy, the eldest man sighed: "It's my extravagant hope, the second child is already forty and five, and I still expect him to change his temperament, not a daydream."

A few days passed in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, it was November 30, and the next day was the day when the Shen and Yang families were scheduled.

The Shen clan, Qiao, He and several other in-laws have received the post and also replied, and they will come over to eat and drink tomorrow

Yang Shen here, after the dust settled on the two family affairs, he finally returned to normal, and he was not angry with Shen Rui, but he was a little closer than before.

To say that Mao Chi had never been angry about the closeness of these two people before, but now he has nothing to say, after all, these two have become brothers-in-law and sister-in-law. He can only sigh that he doesn't have a girl, otherwise Shen Rui's character is indeed reassuring.

Shen Rui remembered what Liu Ya had done before, and he hadn't bothered to mention it before, and after returning from the academy, he went directly to the main room.

The third wife was also there, and was discussing with the Xu family about the next day's wine.

Seeing Shen Rui coming, the third wife smiled and said, "The second brother is going to get married tomorrow, are you happy?" ”

Xu Shi was beside him, and he also looked at Shen Rui with a smile, as if waiting for him to answer.

Shen Rui looked at Xu's face with a dull face, nodded and said, "Rejoice." ”

It's just that the eldest sister of the Yang family is too young, if only fifteen or sixteen would be fine, and she would be able to assist in housework when she entered the door, but Shen Rui was not afraid of "early marriage".

He replied seriously, but the third wife didn't tease him anymore, so she only covered her mouth and smiled.

Seeing that he came over without even changing his clothes, obviously there was something, so the third wife got up and said goodbye.

Shen Rui personally sent the third wife to the door, Fang turned around and came back, and said to Xu: "Mother will go over tomorrow, can you bring Dongxi over and let her ...... with Sister Hongyun?"

Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "She told you that she wanted to follow you to the Yang family?" ”

Shen Rui shook his head and said: "Dong Xi was trained by Aunt Hong, the most important rule, where would you mention this?" I wanted her to come along and see. In addition to being in front of the guests, I also want to inquire about the reputation of the next person...... If something is wrong, you will always show your tracks......"

Xu Shi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "Although it is not a bad thing for you to be so cautious, it is too late to think of this stubble at this time...... Tomorrow is going to be married, but if you find out that it is not a place, you can regret it

Shen Rui sneered: "I didn't think about regretting it, but I just wanted to know it in my heart." If there are really deficiencies over there, and there are still several years, it is naturally good to be able to make up for it, and it will be bothering my mother to worry about it in the future......"

Hearing Shen Rui say this, the Jian Xu family also became worried.

Yang Tian looked at Shuangli, but his biological mother was deceased, and his stepmother was young, so there was no discipline in the end.

It's just that these words are not good to say in front of Shen Rui, otherwise they will leave a deficiency in his heart, and it will also affect the relationship between the two in the future.

Xu said: "I have all of these, where can I worry about the second brother?" Your face has not been very good these two days, is it too hard to study? If you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, it's a good thing to be motivated, and you should also take care of your body. ”

Shen Rui said: "I was too slack in reading before. Yang Shen is the same as me, and he has passed the hospital examination......

Xu saw that he was so strong, but he didn't stop him, but said: "The road to the imperial examination is long, you have to have success in your heart, it's not a matter of one or two years......"

Because Shen Rui mentioned Dong Xi, Xu said: "Dong Xi's girl will be twenty years old, she not only serves you carefully, but also is the person given by your aunt Hong, you should be a good student and settle ......"

Longevity there, Shen Rui had already asked, looking at that appearance, he was also interested in Dongxi.

Shen Rui had already decided to fulfill the two of them, and originally planned to talk to the Xu family after this period, but when he said this, he said: "The longevity of sixteen by my side has been by my side for three or four years, and I thought about waiting for the New Year, so I matched Dongxi with him." ”

Xu Shi listened, with disapproval on his face: "It's a good thing that you can think of their family affairs, but you shouldn't match them like this...... They are the closest people around you, and the stewards are all watching, so it would be better if they pointed out separately......

Just as marriage is needed in officialdom, marriage is also needed in the family's children.

Changshou and Liu Ya, although they came from outside, and they were alone in the Shen Mansion without a father or mother, but now they are the "upstarts" in the eyes of the next people. One is the little girl who has to use Shen Rui's side, and the other is the girl in charge of Shen Rui's yard.

The two have reached the age of marriage again, and how many stewards inside and outside are staring, and some people have already begged Xu.

Xu knew that Shen Rui had his own ideas, so he didn't want to meddle in these things. Now it seems that Shen Rui is smart and smart, but he is here and a man, so he doesn't think about things well.

Shen Rui heard the unfinished meaning of Xu's words, but he didn't want to change his mind, but he was a little remorseful that he shouldn't have crossed Xu's. Fortunately, Xu is a generous person, otherwise it would be too unpleasant for him to make decisions directly.

Shen Rui said: "It's that I didn't think about it thoroughly, I just thought that Dongxi took care of people carefully, and his longevity was given by the teacher, and he accompanied me when I was in the Zen Academy a few years ago, and it was also his great blessing to get Dongxi as a daughter-in-law in the future......

Still didn't change his words, Xu was a little surprised, glanced at Shen Rui, but also breathed a sigh of relief, not worried that Shen Rui would "subdue" the housekeeper, but worried that he would not be able to marry in winter......
