The grandmother also knew about this and advised the eldest aunt: "Don't bully the young man!" That Zuo Junjie is good-looking, and he works hard to study, maybe he can really be nominated for the gold list in the future. What's more, there are many icing on the cake, and there is little charcoal in the snow. The Fu family still has seven or eight daughters who have no relatives! ”

In the final analysis, I am still afraid that this family affair will affect the reputation of the Fu family and ruin the future of the eldest uncle.

It's always a good idea to be cautious.

The eldest aunt felt that what her mother-in-law said was reasonable, so she rejected the Hao family.

When the sister-in-law in the lobby got the news, she was naturally overjoyed.

Zuo Junjie was unwilling: "I was alone, and all the property in my family was sold to my parents for treatment." She is a concubine, not to mention, except for the dowry of one hundred taels of silver in the public, there is no other dowry...... Since Mrs. Tai has opened her grace, it is better to ask to marry the third lady in the second room! ”

The second aunt's family is a large landowner in Sichuan, and there is a salt well at home, and when she got married, only the dowry utensils were loaded with a whole three-masted ship. The third cousin is a concubine, and she is the only daughter in the second room, and the second aunt said very early that she will give the third cousin a dowry after her marriage.

"This can't be done!" The sister-in-law in the lobby sank her face when she heard this, and she refused Zuo Junjie without thinking about it, "The Fu family now only has a father-in-law and a fifth uncle as officials, and the two cousins in the second room have no talent in the industry, and the reason why the second aunt said that she would leave all the dowries to the third lady is that she wants to find a jinshi to be her son-in-law. You are just a showman, and the second aunt will never agree. ”

"Are you sure that I won't be a jinshi in the future?" Zuo Junjie was unconvinced, "If you don't try, how do you know that the second wife won't agree." ”

The sister-in-law in the lobby felt that Zuo Junjie was too ignorant: "Even if the second aunt agrees, my mother-in-law will return to the Hao family's relatives, and there is no room for turning this matter around." Don't say more, just wait for me to invite the matchmaker and the second lady to get married. After saying that, he turned around and left.

Zuo Junjie felt that the sister-in-law in the lobby was afraid of offending his mother-in-law, and she was not planning for him sincerely at all. I didn't say a word to my sister-in-law in the lobby, and the next day I invited a matchmaker to go to the second aunt to say goodbye.

How could the second aunt agree.

As soon as the matchmaker walked on the front foot, she told her grandmother about it on the back foot.

The grandmother was so angry that she didn't have a good word with the sister-in-law in the lobby for a long time.

The sister-in-law in the lobby was ashamed, and she couldn't wait to find a hole in the ground, and ran to Zuo Junjie's room to teach her head and face a lesson, but Zuo Junjie didn't think so: "Okay, okay, since you are embarrassed, I'll listen to you marry the second lady!" "A condescending tone.

The sister-in-law in the lobby couldn't say a word, and she cried at the head of the eldest lady's bed.

The eldest lady was anxious and annoyed, and did not get out of bed for two days. But one is a daughter-in-law who keeps festivals for her own son, and the other is a daughter from her own concubine, no matter how angry she is, she can only break her arm and hide it in her sleeve. After a few months, the second cousin Xu was married to a child surnamed Huang in Pucheng County next door, and within two years, Huang's brother-in-law died of illness, leaving a daughter who had just completed the moon.

Hao Jianfeng has been rich all the way, and in a few years, he has become the left servant of the ministry.

Later, the Yellow River broke in Kaifeng, Henan, and the governor of Henan impeached the river workers for shoddy stones, Qu Yang and the eldest uncle were involved, and the eldest uncle was dismissed. In the past, the eldest uncle approached Hao Jianfeng for the matter of recovery, Hao Jianfeng didn't know whether he was afraid of getting involved in these rights and wrongs or was worried about the Fu family's refusal to marry, and he didn't even see the eldest uncle, let alone help.

The eldest lady couldn't calm down when she thought about it, and even the sister-in-law in the lobby suffered a lot of grievances.

Of course, that's all for later.

The scene at that time was that the sister-in-law in the lobby asked Zuo Junjie to help him set up a yard in the back street overnight and let him move out.

Zuo Junjie's face was pale, he sneered a few times, didn't bring anything, and walked away.

Within a few days, I went to a family surnamed Liu in Xi'an Mansion to make a western seat.

The next year, he tried to fall first.

At the end of the year, Zuo Junjie returned to Huayin, regardless of the heavy snowfall, knelt in front of the door of the sister-in-law in the lobby for a whole day, and no one could pull up.

In the way of the situation, the second aunt, the second aunt, the fourth aunt, the mother and the sixth aunt came to the eldest aunt to help Zuo Junjie say good things.

The sister-in-law in the lobby looked at her brother with a frustrated look and a thin yellow face, and cried like a tearful person when she thought that there was only this single seedling left in her mother's family.

The eldest lady sighed and went to her grandmother to ask him to return to the Fu clan to study.

Since then, Zuo Junjie has been like a different person, ignoring things outside the window, and only reading sage books. After he was lifted, he bought a servant in the field, settled in Guangtao Lane, and became the golden beetle son-in-law in the eyes of everyone in Huayin.

The fourth aunt made up his mind.

"At that time, the family affair was not said, it was because the second girl was a concubine and had no dowry, of course he was not happy with a person who was arrogant and capable." She said to the fourth master, "The five girls in our family are different. is not only a concubine, but also beautiful, in addition to the dowry of the public school, I also have 300 acres of fertile land here, and a private house of 2,000 taels of silver for her. ”

"How can that work!" The fourth old man's head shook like a rattle, "Others know about it, and they think that the daughter of our Fu family has relied on him!" ”

"Oh, what a tendon for you!" The fourth aunt said angrily, "Think about it, although the uncle has been dismissed, he has a meritorious name after all, and he has a seat when he sees the county order, not to mention the fifth uncle. The third girl in the second room married a lifter, the seventh boy in the third room won Xiucai this year, and the uncle in the sixth room is a Jinshi...... Only none of us have a good reputation. Do you want to be unable to hold your head up in front of your brother for the rest of your life? Even if you don't care, how will your son and daughter live in the future? ”

The fourth master pondered for a long time, but nodded in agreement.

The fourth aunt asked her mother to be the matchmaker.

The mother felt that this was not a good match, and politely refused. He once told her in private: "Zuo Junjie is just a lifter, and even Wang Xiaoxiao, who earns money from Yinzi, dares to accept the property in his name, and he doesn't know the importance of his actions, but he is afraid that he will cause trouble." ”

The fourth aunt went to invite the sixth aunt to come forward as a matchmaker.

The sixth aunt reminded her: "I heard that the Han family in the north of the city wants to marry their daughter to Zuo Junjie......"

The city ** family is engaged in the bamboo business.

The fourth aunt pouted when she heard this: "This amount of media and media, you have to measure it to know whether it is suitable or not!" ”

The sixth aunt couldn't, so she had to go and tell the sister-in-law in the lobby.

The sister-in-law in the lobby didn't dare to make up her mind again this time, so she sent her close mother to Guangtao Lane, which was regarded as an explanation to the fourth aunt.

Mother came back and said, "The young master said that the city ** family offered 5,000 taels of dowry silver. ”

The sister-in-law in the lobby was so angry that she replied to the fourth aunt: "I have already discussed marriage with the city ** family!" ”

Who would rather marry a merchant girl than marry the Fu family?

The fourth aunt felt that the sister-in-law in the lobby was incompetent, so she quietly sent someone to inquire. knew that it was because of the dowry silver, so he directly asked someone to bring a message to Zuo Junjie: "In addition to the dowry of 5,000 taels of silver, the fifth lady of our family also has 300 acres of fertile land. ”

The Han family was counting on having a son-in-law to support their family, and they could do business and even levy taxes in the future, so they carefully calculated the accounts and asked the matchmaker to say to Zuo Junjie: "In addition to the family's 5,000 taels of silver for the dowry, there is also a shop, and there is also an annual income of 500 taels." ”

The fourth aunt said: "Is it a shop with 500 years of silver every year? Or does it matter to Fu's son-in-law? ”

The matter was passed on to the grandmother.

The grandmother slapped the fourth aunt in front of the house, and made the decision to marry the fifth cousin to the son of Yao Juren in Tonglin County.

Zuo Junjie never stepped into the Fu family again after knowing it. Once, after getting drunk, he said to people: "That old beggar has repeatedly ruined my good deeds, and one day I will make her regret it." ”

Somehow, these words reached the ears of the Fu family, and no one dared to reveal a word in front of their grandmother, but they had to walk around Guangtao Lane.

The sister-in-law in the lobby is even more bowed in the Fu family.

When Zuo Junjie saw that he knew, he threatened: "...... Don't marry a young lady from a non-official family! "The family affair with the Han family was also blown.

But Huayin is a county seat after all, and how many official eunuchs are there? If he takes a fancy to him, he can't get much dowry, and he feels that he has lost face; He took a fancy to him, knew his entanglement with the Fu family, and felt that he was unkind and undignified. There are more eunuchs in Huazhou and Xi'an, but their horizons are higher. has been going around and around, and Zuo Junjie's family affairs have not been settled.

It wasn't until two months ago that he suddenly found his mother and said with a humble attitude that there was something important to negotiate.

Reach out and don't hit the smiley person.

Mother sent those who served around her.

"Fifth Wife," he bowed respectfully, "I am in love with Miss Nine, and I want to marry for a hundred years, and I ask Fifth Lady to fulfill it." ”

Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, my mother stood on the spot and didn't come back to her senses for half a day. When I came back to my senses, I only felt ridiculous: "The nine girls of our family have been engaged to the eldest son of the Yu family in Nanjing Fengle Fang since she was a child. Is there any misunderstanding between Zuo Gongzi? ”

When she was ten years old, she accompanied her grandmother to visit her aunt who was married to Nanjing, and when she was incense in the Meritorious Temple, she met Yu's second wife, Shu.

The great-great-grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-uncle of the Yu family have all been the country's grandeur of sacrificial wine, and the grandfather presided over the Jiangxi Township Examination twice when he was a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, and when he arrived at Yu Guodong, Yu Guoliang, and Yu Guocai, the three brothers were nominated for the gold list and served as the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy. Later, the second lord of the Yu family, Yu Guoliang, was tired of officials to the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, inspected hundreds of officials, corrected the impeachment of hundreds of divisions, and the eldest lord Yu Guodong and the third lord Yu Guocai In order to avoid suspicion, one was released to Huguang Jingzhou as the prefect, and the other was unwilling to leave Jiangnan, so he simply resigned and went home to become Tao Weng. It is one of the few famous families in the south of the Yangtze River.

Or maybe there is nothing perfect in the world. The Yu family has been smooth in their careers over the years, but they have become increasingly difficult in their heirs. Of the three brothers, only the second eldest Yu Guoliang only added a son when he was thirty-two years old.

This Shu family is the biological mother of the eldest young master of the Yu family.

Although she is not the patriarch of the Yu family, she has made meritorious contributions to the Yu family's heir, and her husband is the person with the highest official position among the brothers.

My aunt's husband's family has some relationship with the Yu family, and since they met, they had lunch together.

I don't know why, Shu likes her very much and talks to her all the time.

When my grandmother saw this, she told Shu an interesting story about her childhood, which made Shu laugh.

Within a few days, Shu invited a matchmaker to propose marriage for his son Yu Jingxiu.

The grandmother was so happy that she agreed to the family affair without even asking her mother.

The exchange of Geng stickers and Xiaoding was all done in Nanjing.

The mother was very dissatisfied, and wrote to her husband, complaining euphemistically: "...... That Yu Gongzi has never seen it, and he doesn't know what kind of person it is? ”

The fifth master quickly replied. The letter said that the eldest son of the Yu family has a reputation since he was a child, enlightened at the age of five, read and understood the "Commentary on the Four Books" at the age of twelve, and now he is worshipping under the Jiangnan Confucian Fan Kun to learn the art of making, and the future has a great future, which is a first-class good fate. Let the mother discipline her daughter well, don't marry the Yu family and fall into the reputation of the Fu family.

The mother settled down, restrained her temperament and guided her, almost never leaving her body, why did her daughter suddenly have an affair with Zuo Junjie?
