Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "It is Wang Yuan who wears royal blue straight, and Wang Ze who wears honey and color." Then he asked, "What do you think?" ”

Mrs. Zhou introduced Wang Yuan, the nineteenth son of the Wang family.

He is the master, and I don't blame him for being a little restrained.

Shi Niang said implicitly: "The two sons are both talents. ”

That is, I am satisfied with the appearance.

Mrs. Zhou smiled and casually said about Wang Zelai: "...... It's a nephew. His father had asthma since he was a child, and he couldn't pick up his shoulders or hands, so he relied on the money of the public school and his mother to do some needlework for people. Fortunately, he has been a sensible and calm person since he was a child, and he has helped with most of the family's affairs, not to mention, and he likes to help the third aunt and six mothers-in-law with anything, so the family likes it up and down. This time I came to Ciyuan Temple on the nineteenth, and it must have been my sister-in-law who was not at ease, so I specially invited him to accompany him. ”

Eleven Niang was a little surprised.

She saw that Wang Ze was neither humble nor arrogant, with a few ups and downs, but she didn't expect her family situation to be so unsmooth. It is rare for him to have such a bearing at such an age.

"The sixteenth prince looks like a proper person." Eleven Niang praised, "No wonder you want to invite him to accompany you." ”

"It's a pity that I've been dragged down by my family." Mrs. Zhou sighed, "He didn't go to the clan school since the beginning of this year, but began to learn to manage housekeeping with the housekeeper at home." "It's very pity.

Eleven Niang was a little surprised.

She saw that Wang Ze was skillful in answering, and thought that he had already come out to do things.

Mrs. Zhou thought that Eleven Niang was surprised why the Wang family didn't sponsor Wang Ze to continue his studies. Busy explained: "Although our Wang family has many children, there are also people who have become officials in the imperial examination. But like the sixteen brothers, they all fell into Xiucai at a young age, and it was the first time they encountered it. Why don't you want him to continue his studies and glorify the lintel for our royal family! ”

"The sixteenth prince is a showman?" Eleven Niang interrupted Mrs. Zhou's words in dismay.

Mrs. Zhou smiled bitterly and nodded: "He and his brother won the show together last year!" ”

"Then ......" As soon as Eleven Niang opened her mouth, she knew that she had lost her words.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.

If it weren't for special reasons, if Wang Ze was selected for Xiucai at a young age, and the two brothers were admitted at the same time, how could the Wang family not let him study.

She remedied: "Zhennan Hou Mansion is really talented! ”

"I need to be able to read it, too!" Mrs. Zhou said, "For the fact that sixteen did not study, my eldest brother also went to their house in person. In the presence of my brother, he promised to give forty taels of silver out of his monthly allowance every year for the two brothers to study. But sixteen he insisted on refusing. said that he was the eldest son, and his father was sick, so he should take on the responsibility of supporting his parents. Ask the eldest brother to help him find an errand in the house. ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Zhou showed a little helplessness.

"It's no wonder that this kid has such a mind. Every year, the money in the public middle school is not enough for my brother to see a doctor and take medicine, let alone the daily chewing of the family. There are also two children studying, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and Mr.'s Shu Xiu, which are all a lot of expenses, but they can't be less than a penny. In the early years, my sister-in-law pawned some dowry, and the foreign family helped to make a foil, and this life can go on. But since his grandfather died six years ago, his uncle was in charge of the house, and seeing that my brother couldn't help him, he gradually moved less. My sister-in-law was afraid that the children's future would be delayed, and the needlework was done all night, and her eyes were broken two years ago, and she has been stiffened. ”

Eleven Niang was silent.

It turns out that there are such stories all the time......

And the lady couldn't stop talking about these short things in the family: "He didn't say it openly. First, he is the eldest son, the one who supports the door. He has the fame of showing talent, and no one dares to look down on him when people come and go. Second, his brother is only thirteen years old this year, rather than the two of them being hungry and full like this, it is better for him to come out and do things, which can save a lot of expenses and fully support his younger brother to gain fame. ”

I'm afraid there is a more important reason.

It is relatively easy for children to reach the level of Xiucai, but it is not possible to do it in three or five years. The Wang family can sponsor him for three or five years, and can they sponsor him for ten or twenty years. What's more, their brothers are getting older, and they want to marry and have children, support their families, and support their parents, and these forty taels of silver are only a drop in the bucket, which is far from enough. But if Mrs. Zhou's eldest brother is allowed to have a little more, what will the other relatives think? Will the same treatment be demanded as a result? Will it offend other relatives because of this?

Eleven Niang nodded slightly: "The sixteenth prince is a transparent person." ”

Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she understood.

After all, no one wants to have a reputation for being a harsh clansman!

She thought about something she had heard when she went back to her parents' house the other day.

"It's a pity that his uncle is a rat-eyed man." Mrs. Zhou said, frowning slightly, "When his grandfather was here, he saw that Sixteen was smart, clever, filial and sensible, and wanted to kiss him and marry his cousin to him. Later, the two families didn't move around much, and no one mentioned it. Last year, the two brothers won the show together, and his uncle brought up the matter again. At that time, an aunt of mine was helping Sixteen to propose marriage, and the two families also met each other, invited a matchmaker, and waited for the exchange of Geng Ti Xiaoding. His uncle came to the door every day and said, but my sister-in-law was thinking about the kindness of the foreign family's sponsorship back then, so this family affair was naturally disturbed. She said, her eyes showing disdain, "I answered the errand of the house on the sixteenth day of spring this year." My sister-in-law cried a few times, thinking that if she didn't read this book, she couldn't treat this son badly in marriage. He scraped together a hundred taels of silver and invited a matchmaker to go to his uncle to ask for marriage. As a result, his uncle's tone changed completely, and he didn't admit it at all, and said that his daughter had already been married. Angered my sister-in-law so much that she lay at home for days. Even two days ago, my nephew didn't go to drink the wedding wine. ”

Such a reality......

Eleven Niang couldn't help but say: "What does the uncle of the sixteenth son do?" ”

"It's just a matter of living on a few acres of land from my ancestors." Mrs. Zhou said disapprerovantly, "It is also one of the largest families in Gu'an Mansion." I thought that there was a company who was a commander in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and he was also a feudal official. ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help but laugh when she heard her contradictory words.

Mrs. Zhou also knew that she was being angry. I laughed for a while. Then let the little maid go to the table to pass the vegetarian dishes: "...... Some days I haven't come to Ciyuan Monastery to eat fast. The topic turned to Wang Ze's body again: "Such a fuss only ruined such a good child as sixteen - their family was originally a side branch, and there was a talent who was famous before. Now that I don't take the test, I'm afraid that those who have a little family background will think that their family background is thin. If you say that you are from a poor family, it is a pity that you are a person with a meritorious name. ”

Eleven Niang nodded, thinking of the Twelve Niang she had been thinking about...... She's in a similar situation. Master Luo is now at home, and the sixth aunt is a maidservant. If you have a family background, you will think that she is a concubine. has no family background, and the Luo family is afraid that they will not agree for the sake of face.

In the flint lightning, she couldn't help leaning forward, leaning over slightly and said, "Sister Zhou, I don't know how old the sixteenth son is this year?" ”

Mrs. Zhou was slightly stunned and said, "I am sixteen years old this year. ”

"What happened to the marriage between the sixteenth prince and his cousin?"

Mrs. Zhou had a faint feeling and said, "Naturally, it didn't happen!" Otherwise, how can I say that I have been sixteen in a row? ”

Eleven Niang thought for a while and said, "I have a younger sister, and Sister Zhou has also seen it - on the third day of March, I played with Sister Fang and them in Liufangwu." I'm eleven years old this year, and it's time to talk about my parents. The sixteenth son was born in a high family, with a dignified appearance, and was rich in five cars. I don't know if there is such a fate......"

Mrs. Zhou still doesn't understand.

Her mind raced.

That twelve women look speechless. Although Lord Luo is now idle at home, and he is a concubine, the second master of the Luo family is in Shandong to participate in politics, the third master is in Sichuan to learn politics, Eleven Niang is the wife of Yongping Hou, Shi Niang is married to the Maoguo Mansion, Uncle Luo is a Jishi, and there is a niece and son-in-law of Tanhualang......

Mrs. Zhou's eyes showed a little excitement, and before Eleven Niang finished speaking, she smiled and said: "The Luo family is a scholarly family, and it has been an official for generations." Miss Twelve is outstanding, virtuous and virtuous, if she can take a fancy to our family sixteen, it will be a blessing that our family sixteen cultivated in the previous life. ”

Both of them explained their meanings, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.

Mrs. Zhou said, "I'll go back to my parents' house in the next few days." ”

This matter should also be discussed by Eleven Niang Luo Zhenxing.

She smiled and nodded: "My sister-in-law's side, I'm going to say hello too." ”

"The Nineteen Things ......"

Eleven Niang's face was gloomy: "In addition to telling Master Hou about this matter, Mrs. Tai's side ......"

Mrs. Zhou also knows that Wang Ze is different from Wang Yuan, and Twelve Niang cannot be compared with Sister Zhen. She said cheerfully: "Then let's come one by one!" ”

Eleven Niang hurriedly smiled: "Then it's bothering Sister Zhou!" ”

"What do you say about being tired and not bothered." Mrs. Zhou smiled, "You remember to make me a pair of matchmaker shoes when the time comes." I heard what our sister Fang said, you made a pair of big red parrot and peach sleeping shoes for Sister Zhen, which is very beautiful. ”

"As long as Sister Zhou can look at it!"

Eleven Niang and Mrs. Zhou laughed, and the vegetarian dishes came.

The two ate and went home.

Mrs. Tai took Shi Niang's hand and asked, "How is it?" Can Wang Gongzi still be eye-catching? ”

Eleven Niang told Mrs. Tai about the situation.

Mrs. Tai listened to her jaw: "Then send someone to Bachelor Han to inquire about how Wang Gongzi's homework is?" ”

Eleventh Niang's mind flashed, and she thought of Ziwei beside Wu Niang...... It seems to be a concubine for a Hanlin surnamed Han!

She muttered: "When the Hou Ye comes back, I will inquire immediately." ”

When Mrs. Tai heard her mention of her son, she said with some concern: "I've been gone for three or four days, and I won't report to my family......"

How can it be so fast!

Eleven Niang hurriedly smiled and changed the topic: "Guess, what did our Mrs. Zhou say in Ciyuan Temple today?" ”

Seeing her bright eyes flickering, revealing a rare playful appearance, Mrs. Tai deliberately cheered, took a breath, and quipped: "Well, it smells of wine...... I came back so late...... Could it be that the two of them are together to criticize their mother-in-law, isn't it? ”

It's probably a little late to add more today, so let's get up tomorrow and watch it!
