Chapter 656: The Marriage
The influence of the Shen clan in Xuancheng has long penetrated into all aspects of the entire Xuancheng, so Shen Maoxue was able to get the news so quickly when the Holy Decree was crossing, although the specific inside story had not yet been inquired, but this was already very rare. Faced with such news, Wang Fulin thought about it again and again, but finally did not choose to rush back immediately. After all, regarding the dispute over the silk and silk in the summer tax of Huizhou Mansion, everything he should do has been done, even if the will of the imperial court is not optimistic this time, it will be in vain for him to go back. Therefore, he still chose to continue to follow the established itinerary, and did not leave immediately on the day after Shen Yourong's wedding, but stayed for a few more days.
In the past half a month, Xiaobei and Wang Xiaomei were not idle, and fully implemented an additional task ordered by Wang Fulin, that is, to go on a blind date for Jinbao. Originally, this was just Xiaobei's business, but somehow Wang Xiaomei listened to it, and now he was soft and his brother and sister-in-law, and he must fulfill his responsibilities as a sister-in-law. As a result, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law have been mingling among the wives, grandmothers, and ladies of the major famous families in Xuancheng for several days, and finally the list in front of Wang Fulin has slipped through a dozen times.
can make the eccentric Xiaobei and Wang Xiaomei think that they have a good temperament and are capable, and Yunying is not married, and finally put them on the list, Wang Fulin naturally knows that they are all very good ladies. Therefore, on this day, Wang Fulin called Jinbao alone, just like he did to Qiu Feng last time, and straightforwardly said what Wang Daokun reminded him at the beginning, and then relayed what he said to Cheng Shihong, the old patriarch of the Cheng clan in Zhukou, because of Qiu Feng's marriage, and finally threw out the marriage discussion.
"My affair with your mother. You know that. Before I got married. That is, it can't be more ripe. Even if you can't be like me at the beginning, you have to be like Qiu Feng at least, at least see each other. All in all, you're fourteen years old, make up your own mind. ”
Last time, it was Qiu Feng, but this time it was his turn, although Jinbao was indeed precocious, but at this moment, he really had a jaw-dropping feeling. Which father would let his son make his own ideas about the marriage? His usual good mind was completely shut down for a while. Then he stammered, "Dad...... Isn't it...... Isn't it too early? ”
"Is it early?" Wang Fulin raised his eyebrows, and then said earnestly, "You must know that most of the girls in this year have decided to get married early, and if it is delayed any longer, by the time you are sixteen or seventeen, you will already be decided." ”
It's like thinking that his unreliable father and Hu Zongxian decided to get married so early!
Jinbao really wants to say that the fame has not been established, why should he be at home, but think about it, Wang Fulin actually doesn't attach so much importance to the word fame from his bones, and maybe he will attract a reprimand for his face. He could only use his mind to think. At his age, he didn't think about any major events in his life at all, unlike Qiu Feng, who had indeed reached the age of marriage. The second is that he has long been accustomed to Wang Fulin or other elders making decisions about everything. However, when he inadvertently came into contact with Wang Fulin's smiling and expectant gaze, he couldn't help but think of the words that Xiaobei often used to make fun of himself.
According to his mother, his father has always expected him to start a family and take over the responsibility of sheltering the family from the wind and rain - even if he thinks that it is just talking, not that his father is really so lazy, but thinking about Wang Fulin, who is so happy to wander around in the middle of the examination, instead of going to become an official, he faintly feels that this may be the truth of his father's urging him to set up a marriage.
He asked in a calm tone as much as possible, "Dad, have you mentioned to them about marrying with the Xuancheng Shen family, or the Mei family, or other famous families?" ”
Wang Fulin was stunned for a moment. Qiu Feng's marriage was personally mentioned by the old patriarch of the Cheng clan in Zhukou, but Jinbao's matter was ordered by Wang Daokun, and he sent Xiaobei and Wang Xiaomei to see each other's execution, but he really didn't test the meaning of others. You must know that compared to the background, the Wang family of Songming Mountain is not as good as the Shen family and the Mei family. Not to mention anything else, in the Xin'an Famous Clan Chronicles, before Wang Daokun, those fathers and ancestors in Songmingshan Village did not mention one, only talking about the tribes who originally moved from Songmingshan to various places. The reason is very simple, Wang Daokun is two generations of businessmen, and the businessmen are authentic farmers before that, and they don't even have a show!
And Xuancheng Shen and Mei are both scholarly families for many generations.
Knowing what Jinbao meant, Wang Fulin couldn't help but sigh: "You're right, it can't be wishful thinking. Okay, I'll go and talk to Shen Jundian first, if it doesn't work, forget it, where is there no grass at the end of the world? ”
Jinbao was relieved, seeing that Wang Fulin had nothing to say, he hurriedly retreated, but after opening the door, he found that Ye Xiaopang was pulling Qiu Feng back to the room, seeing this scene, he suddenly remembered that Ye Xiaopang dragged himself to eavesdrop on Wang Fulin talking about marriage to Qiu Feng, how similar is the situation in front of him? Rao is a good friend who has been studying together since childhood, and he can be regarded as a good friend who has nothing to say, but at this time, he still couldn't help but roll up the sleeves of his little jacket, and wondered if he would pull Qiu Feng together for a while, and give Ye Xiaopang, an elder who is "disrespectful to the old", a little powerful!
Because Shen Yourong's new wife's parents died, when they returned to the door in the past three days, the couple went not elsewhere, but to the bride's uncle's house. And Wang Fulin took advantage of the fact that the Shen family was finally free to see Shen Maoxue. Of course, he will not talk about marriage directly, but first informed that he was going to return to Huizhou in the near future, Shen Maoxue naturally had to keep it, and the two sides went around, and the topic did not know how many times it turned, Wang Fulin smiled and mentioned Qiu Feng, who had been passed on to Aunt Cheng, and then made a marriage with Cheng Shihong, the old patriarch of the Cheng clan in Zhukou.
Shen Maoxue had long heard Wang Fulin talk about Qiu Feng's life experience, and he couldn't help laughing at this time: "Speaking of this, Shihong said to me before, Shiqing, you look young, think about Zhou Xiang, even the things you do are things that people of my age and his father will do, who has an adopted son and a student at such an age as you?" worried about their studies, but also worried about their family affairs, and even took into account Qiu Feng's adstep and marriage. You don't want to think about yourself. Are you ready to stay recuperate? ”
"Anyway, I've already passed the Jinshi exam. It's worthy of my uncle's hard work, but as for whether to be an official or not, I can't help it, what can I do? Wang Fulin shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile deliberately, and then said with a smile, "It's the head of my family's Jinbao Dao test, you can try Qiuyu this year to accumulate experience, maybe he will be able to take the exam in a few years, won't I be able to be an old lady then?" ”
"Poof......
Shen Maoxue took a sip of the tea he had just drunk, and suddenly all of it squirted out. I almost couldn't hold the teacup in my hand. He stared at Wang Fulin for a long time, but he really couldn't be sure if Wang Fulin was joking. When he came back to his senses and saw the tea in the place, he knew that he was too out of shape today, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he couldn't help but shake his head: "It's really a defeat for you." You're only twenty this year, and you want to be an old lady, what do you want your father to do? Besides, when I take a jinshi, it always depends on my age, if I am too young. The qualifications and experience are too shallow, let alone trying. Even the examiner of the township examination often presses people for a period and sharpens them more, thinking that this is the case when Lord Shoufu participated in the township examination for the first time, and your dream is too exaggerated...... But Jinbao is a good boy. ”
Speaking of this, thinking of Wang Fulin just now saying that Qiu Feng had already decided on a family matter, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart: "Has Jinbao's marriage ever been decided?" ”
"Of course not, he's only fourteen years old, a manly man, don't have to be so early." Wang Fulin seemed to be not the one who urged Jinbao to get married, and after answering indifferently, he immediately frowned, "But my uncle is more anxious than me, and he mentioned it once before I left Beijing, so I put it in my heart as soon as possible." Isn't it because Jinbao is not my own child, but just an adopted son, and I am afraid that others will have scruples? Now he is just the head of the case, if he can be admitted to Yayuan and Jingyuan in the future, or if he is lucky to win a solution to the sky, he is afraid that people will take care of his background, so he will talk about it at that time. ”
"This is no way, when talking about marriage, pick the main branch and side branch, the eldest and youngest, how many families are not like this? After all, in the eyes of others, can you treat Jinbao as the eldest son? ”
"Why not? I don't have a biological son and a half daughter at the moment, even if I really have one or two years old, how old is he and Jinbao? I'm good, my father, or my uncle, do I invest my resources in Jinbao, a junior who is already the head of the case, or do I hold on to it and refuse to support it, waiting for the son who is only a little older to grow up? As for my little inheritance, it was supposed to be kept for my children to share equally in the future. My house is not the Wang clan house of Songming Mountain, there is no sacrificial field and the like, the ancestral house was renovated when I was in my time, and it will be a big deal to buy a few more properties in the future, and I am afraid that it will not be enough? Besides, my body is lucky enough to live a seventy or eighty life, right? ”
Shen Maoxue saw that Wang Fulin really followed his question and imagined it in the future, and the sense of absurdity in his heart suddenly became stronger. But according to Wang Fulin's statement, he had to admit that Jinbao would indeed be the descendant of Wang Fulin and even the entire Songming Mountain Wang clan for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have a daughter of the right age, he would have opened his mouth at this time. He thought for a while, and finally spoke: "Shiqing, the Xuancheng Shen family and the Xuanmei family have been married to each other for many years, and they have also married each other in the Taiping Mansion and Huizhou Mansion, Shihong has a younger sister, who is thirteen years old this year, because the Mei family and the neighboring families are not suitable, and they have not yet decided on a marriage. ”
Shen Yourong's sister? According to Xiaobei and Wang Xiaomei, this is the sister-in-law of Shen Yourong's mother, because she is an old woman, she has always been the pearl of the Shen family, and she is a little coquettish, but her appearance and talent are very good, and it is said that she will be good at painting and embroidering, Shen Maoxue will not take this mention seriously, right?
Wang Fulin couldn't help but take a light breath, and then asked uncertainly, "Brother Shen, you're just afraid that you can't overstep your responsibilities in this matter, right?" ”
Only then did Shen Maoxue realize that he was indeed a little impulsive. But the friendship he and Wang Fulin formed after that trip to Liaodong is different from the confidants and friends who usually talk about poetry and papers, to put it deeply, it is equivalent to the friendship between robes and Ze, not to mention that Wang Fulin also matched him with Zhang Juzheng's sons and established a certain relationship. At that moment, he coughed dryly and remedied: "Naturally, I just mentioned it first, and I have to discuss it with my brother." In this way, now that the two of us know, you don't have to set a return date, wait for my news. ”
Not to mention that Wang Fulin was taken aback when he heard Shen Maoxue's proposal at first glance, even Xiaobei felt incredible when he heard Wang Fulin's words. After all, that is Shen Mao's brother and sister-in-law, that is, the most pampered daughter of Shen Yourong's parents when they are old, and they can often see each other when they marry in Xuancheng, but once they marry in Huizhou Mansion, even if they are just two adjacent mansions, they can be separated by more than 300 miles, and it is very inconvenient to go back and forth once. The most important thing is that she and that Miss Shen had a good conversation, and the other party even showed her the embroidery drawings she had drawn, but once she became a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future...... She felt embarrassed when she thought about it, so she didn't want to talk about other people's feelings.
"I think this matter ...... in suspense," Xiaobei muttered, and then whispered, "If it were you, would you be willing to marry your little sister to Xuancheng?" ”
Wang Fulin was dumbfounded. The most important reason why Wang Erniang married to Xixinan is not because the Wu family is rich, Wu Yingjie's brother is a person, and Wu Yingjie's own conduct and talent are not bad, but because Xixinan and Songming Mountain are separated by a river, and there is anything to meet at any time, which is more convenient than marrying Wang Yuanguan, the eldest sister of the Xu family on Doosan Street, to go home. Therefore, what Xiaobei said is really right, if it were him, would he be willing to marry Wang Xiaomei to Xuancheng, which is more than 300 miles away from She County? This is also the biggest reason why he brought Wang Xiaomei to Xuancheng, but he didn't think about choosing a wishful husband for her among the children of these famous families in Xuancheng!
"I didn't say that it must be Master Shen's daughter, but Brother Jundian mentioned it himself. Having said that, we've all lived in the Shen family for so many days, and it seems that Jinbao and others haven't seen each other yet, right? ”
"Of course I did, you forgot that we just arrived at the Shen family, you were personally received by Shen Jundian, so I took someone to meet the old lady of the Shen family, as well as the eldest lady and the second wife, at that time, the little sister, as well as Ming Zhao and Jinbao Qiufeng were all together, and there were many female relatives behind the curtain in the upper room of the Shen family." Xiaobei touched his chin thoughtfully as he spoke, and suddenly looked at Wang Fulin and said, "You were dragged by Shen Jundian to make friends with people from all walks of life before, my little sister and I went to see each other, Jinbao and the three of them were not idle, it seems that many children of the Shen family and the Mei family are mixed with them, Ming Zhao and Qiu Feng have already decided to be married, Jinbao may have been touched by someone earlier!" ”
Wang Fulin was stunned for a moment. According to this, not only are they quietly looking at Xuancheng's ladies, but some people in Xuancheng may also be looking at Jinbao?
