On the sixteenth day of the first month, Wu Fanhui looked for the pianist and came to Mizhi County, this pianist came from Yan'an Fucheng, it is said that he played the piano well in one hand, and he was specially designed to teach the Wenwu lyre and the guzheng for the kind of ladies who were beautiful, and the monthly remuneration was five taels of silver, and the time for teaching two hours a day was made, and the owner was also responsible for lunch.

This price is very high, higher than the county magistrate's Yulu.

Wu Qingchao and Wang Hecui were very happy, they didn't know how much the pianist was paid every month, and the two daughters were able to learn the Wenwu lyre and the guzheng, which was of course a good thing, you must know that in Mizhi County, even the girls of the He family did not have the opportunity to learn the Wenwu lyre and the guzheng.

Wu Mingli is already thirteen years old, it is a little late to learn the Wenwu lyre and guzheng, Wu Mingfang's ten-year-old age is just right, and Li Jiacui's twelve-year-old age is also a little late, so Wu Fanhui's monthly remuneration to the pianist is six taels of silver.

The house rented by the pianist was found with the help of Wu Fanhui, and the price was not high, only 400 yuan per month. 、

Wu Fanhui doesn't know anything about the Wenwu lyre and the guzheng, and he doesn't have much interest, before he crossed, he didn't have any musical cells on his body, and he couldn't get used to those so-called star chasers, but he still showed respect for the pianist who was about to teach his two sisters and Li Jiacui.

Wu Mingli, Wu Mingfang and Li Jiacui are all very happy, from the month to the first month, Wu Fanhui, who has been tossed, does not dare to stay at home, and pretends to play the Wenwu lyre and guzheng every day, that kind of harsh sound, so that Wu Fanhui, who doesn't like music, regrets buying back the Wenwu lyre and the guzheng, you must know that these two kinds of musical instruments cost him nearly thirty taels of silver, and they are not the best.

The pianist played two songs in front of Wu Fanhui, which sounded very comfortable, which made Wu Fanhui breathe a sigh of relief, at least in the future, Wu Mingli, Wu Mingfang and Li Jiacui will not play the piano indiscriminately.

Silver Wu Fanhui didn't care, the five ingots of gold last time, and more than a dozen gold leaves, plus the previous thirteen taels of gold, the total amount of silver he owned was more than 1,000 taels, which was enough to maintain a small family for a decent lifetime.

On the eighteenth day of the first month, Wu Fanhui had just returned from Shilipu when he saw Li Jiacui who was anxiously waiting at the door.

"Jiacui, aren't you learning the piano, why are you waiting at the door."

"Young master, yes, it's Madame who is in a hurry."

Wu Fanhui chuckled in his heart, of course he knew why Wang Hecui was in a hurry, it was nothing more than his marriage, it was only the eighteenth day of the first month, and it was difficult for a matchmaker to come to the door.

Entering the courtyard and tying the reins, Wu Fanhui asked Li Jiacui to learn the piano, he had already heard a single piano sound coming from the house next door, this must be the piano master teaching.

Li Jiacui didn't hesitate, and immediately ran towards the house next to her, the little girl must be thinking about studying hard.

Entering the hall, Wu Qingchao and Wang Hecui sat at the top, both with smiles on their faces.

There was no one else in the hall, it seemed that the matchmaker had not come to the door yet, Wu Fanhui breathed a sigh of relief, he had been waiting for news from Li Yong, Ma Jigang and Liu Fangheng for the past few days, although he knew that the time had not yet come.

"Dad, mother, is there something wrong?"

"Qianjue, it's a good thing to sit down and talk."

As soon as Wu Fanhui sat down, Wang Hecui spoke.

"Hui'er, yesterday the third aunt in the south of the city specially invited someone to bring a message, saying that there is a good family business...

The latter words, Wu Fanhui didn't pay attention to it at all, the third aunt in the south of the city and the sixth woman in the north of the city are the two most famous matchmakers in Mizhi County, and they will hardly miss the marriage they match, he Wu Fanhui is so famous in Mizhi County, these two people must be vying to come forward, at least the remuneration will not be less, and it will also be a signboard in the future, look at the marriage of Xiao Sanyuan can be introduced, and others are not satisfied.

More than ten days have passed, Wu Fanhui also figured out that starting a family is the mainstream of this era, the first is to start a family, the second is to start a business, there is a wife in the family, it means that the man is mature, even if the two may not meet once a year, many officials in the capital, as well as businessmen who are running around all the year round, the family is to leave a wife, these people will take concubines, and may take concubines with them to meet their own needs, but the wife must stay at home, because there are parents at home who need to be taken care of.

When you get married, marry a wife or marry a wife, you can be regarded as truly having a family.

No matter what fame Wu Fanhui achieves, if there is no wife in the family to serve his parents, it may be considered unfilial.

Of course, Wu Fanhui's situation is more special, mainly because he is too young, the speed of gaining fame is too fast, and at the same time, his previous family background is really not good, so it is impossible to think about starting a family so early.

The age of marriage and marriage of men and women in the Ming Dynasty was determined in accordance with the proposal of Zhu Xi's "Family Rites" and the decree of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, which was 16 years old for men and 14 years old for women, but after the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the age of men and women was appropriately relaxed, but men with status, status or meritorious fame were not more than 20 years old, and women were not more than 17 years old.

Marriage is not the same as marriage, but the marriage date will be determined, generally within two years after the marriage.

In other words, Wu Fanhui is now married, so he will marry at the latest when he is seventeen years old.

Women in marriage, in fact, do not have much status, marry chickens with chickens and dogs, daughters-in-law of large families or scholars' families, it is impossible to do things to make money, earning money to support the family is a man's business, they are more dependent on men, on the contrary, the village is different, women will also participate in the cultivation of the field, and men contribute the same, but unfortunately the status of women at home is still not high.

From the heart,. Wu Fanhui really didn't want to get married so early, so after thinking about it for so many days, he also thought of a set of rhetoric.

After Wang Hecui finished speaking, Wu Fanhui spoke.

"Father, mother, marriage, the child should not be talkative, but the child does not have time, the child ******** prepare for the township test, although there are still nine months to go, but the child goes out to travel for about three months, plus rush to Xi'an Fucheng, it takes about a month, in fact, there are only less than five months left."

"The child hopes that the township examination can be in high school, so he has to prepare for the examination, the time is tighter, it is impossible to consider the matter of marriage, if the time is delayed, and the child etiquette is not done, it will be discussed and blamed."

。。。

Wu Fanhui said a lot of hard work, and Wang Hecui planned it in one sentence.

"Hui'er, you know these mothers, my mother doesn't want to delay your exam, that's the biggest thing, but you always have to get married, and this big thing can't be delayed."

Wu Fanhui was choked and speechless.

"Qian Jue, what your mother said is that you are fifteen years old, and you should have to set a family business."

After being silent for a while, Wu Fanhui spoke again.

"Father, mother, the child has a request."

"Qianjue, say it."

"Can you wait until the child travels and then come back and think about it?"

Wu Qingchao didn't speak, Wang Hecui spoke.

"Hui'er, my mother knows that you have a high vision, the girl in the city, you are afraid that you can't look down on it, my mother has also thought about this matter, when the third aunt in the south of the city asked someone to speak, my mother did not agree immediately, I am afraid that the third aunt is matching a girl from which family in the city, when the time comes, you can't look down on Hui'er, and it will delay the girl, but this marriage event can't be delayed for too long, your father and your mother can't bear the discussion of outsiders."

Wu Fanhui lowered his head and stopped talking, he knew that Wang Hecui actually agreed to his request in disguise, in the matter of marriage, he was indeed only thinking about himself, and he didn't think about his parents' feelings.

In this era, what is the prime minister's daughter to marry, it is impossible to happen, the door is the standard of marriage and marriage, to put it mildly, Wu Fanhui as a small three yuan, although he may be favored by a prime minister, but from the aspect of the door is still high, and the girl Wu Fanhui married is almost certain to be a girl from Mizhi County, too far away is not realistic at all, not to say that it is impossible to talk to the double anti, even if it is a matchmaker, it is impossible to know the situation of the girl from other places.

However, there is no real scholar family in Mizhi County.

Wu Fanhui already has a reputation, and the matchmaker doesn't dare to introduce it at will, if it is introduced, the other party girl will not be too bad.

Wu Fanhui is a person who crosses over, has a deep understanding of marriage, and it is unrealistic for a scholar to marry a peasant girl, the gap between the two anti-reverse understandings is too big, relatively speechless, and he can't talk about a bunch of them, and those scholars and doctors, or the girls of big families, are much higher than ordinary girls in terms of character and knowledge.

Wu Fanhui tried his best to invite a pianist to teach Wu Mingli and Wu Mingfang to play the piano, and personally tutored his two younger sisters to learn, which is why the aura of nobility does not appear out of thin air.

After returning to the room, Wu Fanhui was silent, he had to face the matter of marriage seriously, it was not okay to deal with it like this, not only did he encounter discussions, but his parents could not bear the pressure, and his family may even encounter criticism, if it affected his two younger sisters, Wu Fanhui could not forgive himself, traveled to this era, lived in this era, maverick does not work, even if you have an identity, you have to follow many secular rules.

It seems that there are some things that need to be resigned, at least when the strength has not yet reached a certain height.
