Chapter 69: Zhang Jie's Answer
Chen Li is seventeen this year, the seventeen-year-old girl's family is not small, at least, in the nearby ten miles and eight villages, most of the seventeen-year-old girls have become mothers, not to mention, it is in the nearby villages, fourteen or fifteen years old to get married is relatively common, and when she is fifteen or sixteen years old, the mother's family is already a little anxious, if anyone whose daughter is seventeen or eighteen years old and has not married, then the family can live and die.

Naturally, Chen Li has reached the age of marriage, but the little aunt, who is two years older than Chen Li, is actually nineteen years old after the New Year.
The nineteen-year-old aunt has not yet married, and she has not even said the object of her marriage once, this matter is in the family of Zhang Jie, the eldest man, no one dares to chew her tongue, if you change to someone else, this can already be used as a talking point in ten miles and eight villages.
Naturally, it will definitely not be a good word, all kinds of speculation, all kinds of chasing after the wind and shadows can make you unable to raise your head.
It's also thanks to the little aunt Zhang Jie's protection, who in the vicinity doesn't know, Zhang Jie, the eldest man, and his little aunt Zhang Xia have had a good relationship since childhood, if anyone really dares to chew his tongue about Zhang Xia's marriage, not to mention anything else, the old man who was always good-tempered in the past can really come to your house to scold people!
If you really let the county master go to your house and point at your neck and scold you, no matter who it is, even if this family is stinky, not to mention that it may be rectified by all kinds of people who want to tie up the county master, that is, with Zhang Jie's current prestige in the entire county, the spitting stars in ten miles and eight villages can drown you.
Therefore, although the little aunt is already nineteen years old, absolutely no one dares to say anything nonsense, on the contrary, as Zhang Jie's position becomes more and more stable, there are more and more people in the family who propose marriage, and they are becoming richer and richer.
A few years ago, the young master of a wealthy family in a nearby village dared to come to Zhang Xia to propose marriage, but he claimed that Zhang Jie became the county master, and only those who had a head and face in the county dared to come to the door with the mentality of giving it a try. But without exception, they were all rejected by their families.
Until now, if the family who came to propose marriage was not wealthy, or at least powerful in the small county town, they would be embarrassed to go to the door of the Zhang family at all.
That is, from those times, the son introduced by the old man Meng finally won the Xiucailang from the Tongsheng examination, although Xiucai is not a noble identity, but people have an advantage in age, and it is not difficult to work hard in the future, and it is not difficult to get a good man.
The second time this son came to the door, he was still closed, which shows how terrifying Zhang Xia's current worth is.
The daughter of other people's families is the older she gets, the more worried she is about getting married, but the little aunt is the opposite, as Zhang Jie's status continues to rise, and now the status of those who want to marry the little aunt is also increasing, and the average small family doesn't even think about it!
However, the more this is the case, even Zhang Jie can't figure out what the little aunt thinks.
Originally, Zhang Jie thought that it was the rules he had set, even if the little aunt had a sweetheart, but next to her own rules, she had not let go, but now, the nineteen-year-old little aunt was no longer affected by the rules set by Zhang Jie, but Zhang Jie found that the little aunt was becoming more and more distracted about her marriage!
And the reason why Chen Li proposed that if her little aunt doesn't marry one day, she won't get married one day, Zhang Jie faintly felt that the reason why Chen Li was like this was actually to force her little aunt to consider her family affairs as soon as possible!
I have been resting at home for a few days, and in a few days the county government will start working again, and Zhang Jie will definitely go back to the county government again, and I don't know how busy it will be at that time, so Zhang Jie thought that it may be the best choice to take advantage of what he has now, and take advantage of the fact that the family is getting together for the New Year and doing some things that should be done.
Zhang Youyou wanted to come up several times, obviously the little girl wanted to play with herself, but Zhang Jie shook her head slightly, stopping the little girl who wanted to pounce, it was rare to have the opportunity to talk to the little aunt like this, Zhang Jie really wanted to take this opportunity to talk to her.
"Since Chen Li is unwilling to get married first, what do you think, little aunt? If you don't get married, will Chen Li's affairs be delayed forever? ”
When Zhang Jie said this, he saw that the little aunt suddenly lowered her head, although the moon was bright at night, Zhang Jie couldn't see the expression on the face of the little aunt who hid himself in the shadows.
"What do you think? About my marriage? ”
did not answer Zhang Jie's question, but the little aunt asked Zhang Jie instead.
Suddenly remembered the first time someone came to the door to propose, at that time Zhang Jie was still young, and he hadn't even been admitted to Xiucai, and his position at home was not solid, but even so, Zhang Jie still drove the matchmaker who came to the door to propose marriage, and then he was arrogant and made a big fuss, and finally reluctantly persuaded the old man in the family with a big cake.
Naturally, I didn't want my aunt's family, and at that time, I thought more that my aunt was still too young, and it was too cruel for such a young girl to marry out and have children.
After that, whenever someone came to the door to propose, as long as he was involved in the relationship with the little aunt, Zhang Jie refused strongly, and the family was used to Zhang Jie's statement that the girl was getting married after the age of eighteen, and as Zhang Jie's status became higher and higher, the family members also agreed with Zhang Jie's opinion more and more.
But now, in the blink of an eye, the little aunt is nineteen years old, and she has already reached the agreed age, so what reason do you have to keep her?
Besides, nineteen-year-old girls, even in their own world, have the right to talk about love, nineteen-year-olds, even if they get married, they can't be considered small!
If there is no reason to stay, what should I do?
For a while, Zhang Jie was silent.
"Do you want me to marry sooner?" After waiting for a long time, seeing that Zhang Jie had not spoken, Zhang Xia in the shadow asked calmly.
A cold wind blew, both of them subconsciously shrank back, and were silent for a long time, Zhang Jie just said softly: "No matter what, I just hope you can be happy, no matter who marries you, as long as you dare to treat you a little badly, I will dismantle him!" ”
This answer is actually equivalent to not answering, in fact, Zhang Jie doesn't know what to say, but after hearing Zhang Jie's answer, which is not an answer, Zhang Xia suddenly raised her head, and then stared at the person in front of her with a pair of bright big eyes, and after a while, she chuckled: "You have to remember what you said today, and when it comes, don't play tricks!" (To be continued.) )
