Saying that, Shen sat up, crossed his hands into fists, and said, "How can this be good, my poor daughter, I have easily picked up a life, and I have only been living in peace for a few years?" I said, "You're so good, how can you stay in the forest boy to eat?" Where to find the right person in this hurry? Even if we find the right person, can we beat the Wen family? His family is said to be from the capital, and there are people in the court who are big officials. ”

Zeng Ruixiang got up and held Shen's hand and said, "Don't worry, the matter has not reached the point of no return." Let's plan for Ziqing, didn't I say it, listening to the meaning of the shopkeeper Zhou, the Wen family may not be willing to let Ziqing enter the door, the other party is the daughter of a first-class master, Qing'er is a country girl, can she tolerate Qing'er? There is no reason to marry a young person as soon as you enter the main room. So let's settle down first, the Wen family may not be embarrassed to ask Qing'er to be small, such people have always paid attention to reputation, and they may not do things that damage their reputation. Besides, maybe people didn't take us seriously at all, and after that freshness, they forgot about it. ”

Shen Shi listened and thought for a while, and said: "What you said is also a little reasonable, but I can't find a suitable person for a while, I am a little unwilling to be surnamed Lin, after all, he has been a subordinate, and it is not good to say it." Originally, I wanted to talk to Qing'er today about not interacting with the two, after all, they are getting older every year. ”

"But I'm a little tempted by Lin Xiaozi, no matter how bad the Wen family is, I can't rob a wife who has been a member of his family, and Kang Ping has grown up with Young Master Wen since he was a child, although he can't say that he is a brother, but it's not much different. Besides, Lin Kangping himself, the family population is simple, he is alone, Qing'er doesn't have to endure hardships when she marries, the most important thing is to be a person and take responsibility, he said that he likes Ziqing for several years. I said, why does this kid keep running to our house? ”

Qing'er seemed to have handed over all her private money to the kid, saying that she was doing business together, and she also sent the account book over today. Ziqing gave him more than ten taels of silver and an embroidery, and the man seemed to say that he sold it to a foreigner for thirty taels of silver, and Ziqing also invested this silver. Going back and forth, now it is said that there are more than 100 taels. It's only been a few years. That's it. Reasoning, this kid still has some ability. ”

"Listen to you, isn't Qing'er also like that kid?"

"Qing'er is still young, and she doesn't seem to have that mind, I think she is concentrating on saving money for her private house. However, she did treat Lin Xiaozi well, and the two were together. There are those who talk and laugh, but they are much colder to Young Master Wen. ”

The husband and wife discussed for a long time, after Zeng Ruixiang's analysis, Shen also felt that Lin Kangping was okay, the two had known each other since childhood, and they also had a certain emotional foundation, and Lin Kangping had no stumbling and agreed to settle down nearby, which touched Shen's heart, and she was very disheartened by a bunch of relatives in her husband's family over the years. Naturally, I hope that my daughter can live a simpler life.

The Shen family also specially asked Ziqing again, and laid out the interests of the Wen family and the reason why Ziqing had to marry immediately, "Reasoning, I can't ask you face-to-face about this." You have your own father and mother to make decisions for you. It's just that my mother knows your temperament and doesn't want to wronged you, after all, you will live your own life in the future, and my mother still hopes that you can find someone who is lovely. Don't be like a mother, working hard for so many years. You've known each other for several years, and it's also very good for my mother to look at you every day, otherwise, you wouldn't have given him all your private money. You give your mother a word, if it doesn't work, your mother has to quickly find someone else to inquire. What your father means, looking at this Lin boy is also a good one, and he has studied less. I think that being able to recognize, write, and earn money to support the family is the main thing, and my mother just thinks that he has been a subordinate. ”

Ziqing lowered her head to ponder, and Shen thought she was unwilling, so she opened her mouth and asked:

"Is it possible that you don't want to? Or are you looking for someone to read? After all, it is more decent for a scholar to say it, and you are a high-spirited person, and you can't be wronged that you have been nesting in this countryside, marrying a scholar will be successful in the future, and you will find an official and a half-job, and your talent and character will not be in vain. Then I'll ask someone to inquire if there is a suitable one nearby, preferably a showman. ”

"Mother, Xiucai may not be as good as you want. Most of the people with solid family backgrounds are from the city, and they definitely don't look down on the vulgarity of the people in our village; If you come from a poor family, if you fail the exam once or twice, it is useless to be a scholar, and I still have to support him; As for the average squire, who has a little family background, where to understand the personality and temperament for a while, it is not so easy to find. Even if I find it, no matter if I have money or no money, if I can be admitted to the Jinshi, as soon as I enter the officialdom, I am afraid that there will be three wives and four concubines in the future, and I don't want to. Let's just Lin Kangping, I think about it, after all, we are still familiar with each other and know each other, but there is one point, let's say it first, he can't marry a concubine in the future. ”

Speaking of which, Ziqing didn't have any feelings for Lin Kangping, but she didn't expect to decide her life's events so soon, as if she was a little helpless to be persecuted, and there was no sweetness that came naturally.

Zeng Ruixiang originally said that he would send a letter to Lin Kangping in a few days, but who knew that the next morning, Lin Kangping came over, and really brought his household registration book, Shen felt angry and funny, but after last night, looking at him again today, it seems to be more pleasing to the eye than in the past, and he really responded to that sentence, the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at it, the happier she became.

Zeng Ruixiang felt that since he had decided on the candidate, he wanted to finish the matter as soon as possible, so as not to cause any more trouble. When Zeng Ruixiang said Ziqing's conditions, Lin Kangping was full of promises, jumped up excitedly, and then ran out with a smile, leaving only one sentence, "Please uncle tell Miss Ziqing that I will never let her down, and I will go to the matchmaker now." ”

Here Zeng Ruixiang went to the old house to inform the old man and Tian, Tian was very displeased when he heard it, and he still hated Da Mao's stubble, pouted and asked: "I thought you were looking for a good family, and you were just a slave when you came to find it, which point is better than my Da Mao?" But I want to know, why didn't the two brothers get married, why was Ziqing in a hurry? ”

Zeng Ruixiang listened and explained: "Kang Ping is not a slave for a long time, how can I marry Qing'er to a minion?" As for the details, Zeng Ruixiang didn't bother to say much. His dissatisfaction with his mother was growing.

"Now it's not a slave, it's also a slave, it's not good to say, you are also a showman, Zifu is also studying in that academy now, I'm afraid that I will have to take the exam to become an official in the future, you can't bear to let others poke Zifu's back and laugh at him, 'Your brother-in-law is a slave', it's not that I am biased towards Da Mao, why is this Da Mao not much stronger than a minion? Even if your sister-in-law's family is poorer, wouldn't it be nice for you to help with more dowry. Besides, just that one minion, he may not be able to come up with any serious dowry, and in the end, you don't want to give Ziqing a rich dowry? I don't understand as a mother, why would you rather take things to make up for irrelevant outsiders than take care of your sister and nephew? ”

"Mother, don't worry, how could I rashly agree to marry Qing'er out without inquiring clearly? Although Kang Ping has no big income and can't study and take the exam to become an official, he is a breadwinner, where can we make up for it? Zeng Ruixiang really didn't want to explain too much, because he also knew that no matter how much he said, he couldn't make his mother's mind change, so he explained his good life and found an excuse to come out.

Zilu knew that Ziqing was going to get married, but he didn't understand in his heart, and asked Shen, but Shen only vaguely brought it, and told him not to ask more, Zilu had to suppress his doubts, and said to Ziqing: "Sister, the second brother knows that you have always had ideas, since you can agree with your father's proposition, you must have thought it through, the second brother just thinks that he is not worthy of my sister, and the second brother thinks that my future brother-in-law must be full of knowledge and can let you live a worry-free life." Who knows that the plan can't catch up with the changes, you have to think twice, the second brother doesn't want you to regret it in the future. ”

Ziqing listened and pushed him into the study and said, "Second brother, don't worry, my father and mother naturally have their reasons for doing this, and you can prepare for the exam with peace of mind, can't you still believe me?" ”

Because both sides have already negotiated, and the eight characters of the two have also been combined, it is actually a good relationship, and Ziqing is not only a good star, can give birth to children, and can prosper the family, Lin Kangping is even more happy when he knows it, and Tian and Chunyu are even more angry when they know it, as if Lin Kangping robbed them of their wealth.

The matchmaker is just going through the motions. On March 20, Lin Kangping came with the matchmaker and the shopkeeper Zhou, because Lin Kangping's parents died, and the adoptive parents sold him out, and his household registration was independent after getting rid of his slave status, and there were no elders, so he invited the shopkeeper of Zhou to serve as an elder.

There are not many places in the countryside that pay attention to it, and the Zeng family is in a hurry, the Zeng family only invited the old man and Tian and He to come over to watch the ceremony, Zhou shopkeeper and Zeng Ruixiang each wrote down the marriage book, signed it, both parties signed each other's documents, and the matchmaker had to sign or draw on the documents on both sides, and then exchanged documents, even if it was basically completed.

Lin Kangping's gift to Ziqing is a pair of dragon and phoenix gold bracelets, as well as a pair of butterflies drawn from gold wire, lifelike, in the middle is a small pearl, more delicate than the pair of Riwensan, just worn on Ziqing's hair, Ziqing is now old, combed is the kind of double bun, the hair on both sides is coiled into a pile, inserted into a headpiece, and then braided into a long braid from behind, which looks even more delicate and compelling.

Lin Kangping personally inserted this pair of butterflies for Ziqing, and whispered: "I've been holding it in my hand for a year, and I finally plugged it in for you today, and I dreamed of having this day." After speaking, he put the dragon and phoenix bracelet on her again.

Ziqing glanced at him, didn't dare to say anything, Tian's eyes were staring at the gold bracelet on Ziqing's hand, she really didn't expect it, isn't this Lin kid a broken minion? How can you come up with a pair of gold bracelets? And the headdress is also made of gold, how is it possible? Also, why was Ziqing's marriage set in such a hurry? Even if Lin Xiaozi's conditions are not too bad, but after all, he has been a slave, and the second couple keeps saying that they feel sorry for Ziqing, why is this engagement so simple? Tian was puzzled. (To be continued)
