"Ye'er, you go and call Mother Wu, I have something to ask her."

"Yes, girl."

Zhou Yu stood at the door and listened for a while without going in, and after instructing Ye'er, he went to the backyard.

After a short time, Wu followed Ye'er over.

When Wu arrived at Zhou Yu, he first gave Zhou Yu a salute.

"Girl."

"Sit."

Wu knew that Zhou Yu's temperament did not refuse, and sat down on the stone bench next to him.

"Mother Wu, you have been in the city of Kyoto for a long time, do you know the Fang family?"

"Back to the girl's words, the Fang family slave knows that Fang Wen is very good at studying, and in ten years, he has sat from Jinshi to the position of the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, and now the matchmaker came to say that it was his second daughter, named Fang Man."

There are too many officials in the court, and the Wu family can't remember them all, so she only knows the news of the Fang family.

Hearing that the youngest daughter of the Fang family was called Fang Man, Zhou Yu thought of the sound of Man he heard in Cao Ge's old mansion, but he didn't have to think about it, he could guess that the woman in the rockery that day was this Miss Fang family.

It's just that this is just her conjecture, and Zhou Yu doesn't want to wronged people.

Knowing what she wanted to know, Zhou Yu asked the Wu family to go back to the hall to wait.

After that, Zhou Yu asked Ye Er to find Wu Lang, and then told Wu Lang to inquire about the Fang family.

After listening to Zhou Yu's instructions, Wu Lang rode to Kyoto City, inquired near Fangfu, and did not return to Jinjia Village until sunset.

The matchmaker praised the Fang family girl in front of the Lian family, and the Lian family only said that she should consider it, and did not give an accurate word.

The first time I came to the door, if the other party agreed to it, it must have been discussed by the two families before, like the Fang family and the county king's mansion, who did not inform them, said that they should consider it, and the matchmaker did not think much about it, and went back to the Fang Mansion to say that she planned to come back in a few days.

Zhou Yan is not at home today, and he only found out about the matchmaker's door, and when he went home, it was already dark, and when Wu Lang came back, Zhou Yu directly asked Wu Lang to tell him what he heard today in front of the family.

"The girl guessed right, that Fang Man's cousin's family did propose marriage to the upper mansion two days ago, but was rejected by the Fang mansion."

Zhou Yu asked Wu Lang to go to Kyoto City to inquire, but he only asked him to inquire about this matter, as long as this matter was confirmed, how the daughter of the Fang family had nothing to do with their family.

After listening to Wu Lang's words, the family of three was a little inexplicable, and they all looked at Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu didn't hide it now, and told the three of them the conversation they heard when they went to Cao's Mansion for a banquet that day.

Except for Zhou Yan, the person who didn't feel anything, the husband and wife were not lightly angry, you must know that in ancient times, the reputation of women was particularly important, and the girl of the Fang family had a private meeting with a foreign man in Cao's mansion, although that person was her cousin.

But if this thing spreads, then her reputation in this life will be over, except for marrying his cousin, she can only twist her hair and go to the temple to be a sister-in-law.

But the husband and wife are still kind-hearted, they know the seriousness of this matter, although they are angry with Fang's family, they don't plan to spread the news of this girl's private meeting with a foreign man.

"Brother Yan, you should have acted as if this had never happened."

"I know, mother."

Alas, I don't know when my son will find his daughter-in-law.

In fact, according to Lian's own idea, she still likes to find a woman in the village to be her daughter-in-law, but she also knows that this idea is unrealistic.

She didn't say that she didn't like those daughters, but everyone was a big lady who didn't touch the spring water with her fingers, and she was afraid that when they came, the habits on both sides of their house were different, and the contradiction would come out.

She had had enough of her mother-in-law's hardships before, so she thought that if her son married a daughter-in-law and entered the door, she planned to treat her well no matter what, she naturally wanted her son to marry someone who had similar habits to her, so that there would be fewer conflicts between the two.

So the family went back to their rooms after eating.

A few days later, the matchmaker came to the door, but before the matchmaker could finish speaking, Lian interrupted her.

"The girl from the Fang family is good, but she is younger, she is only fifteen years old this year, and my son is twenty-one, and the age difference between the two is too big to be suitable. If you have other girls on hand, I can take a look, and forget about the girls of the Fang family. ”

has been a matchmaker for so many years, and you can hear it just by listening to your tone. Whether the family is intentional or unintentional, knowing that the county king's mansion has no intention of the Fang family's girl, the matchmaker is not angry, anyway, the girl is the most important thing in her hands.

Simply not talking about the girl of the Fang family, she took out a booklet from her cuff and opened it from the middle, and it was full of the girl's small appearance.

Page by page to introduce the girl from the Lian family, seven or eight in a row.

However, these girls have one thing in common, that is, the official positions of their fathers and brothers are not high, and most of them are county magistrates.

Lian's didn't care so much about the family, but she felt that her son was the best, but those girls didn't look down on their own sons, and Lian's looked at the girls from several families who were not interested.

The matchmaker knew that the Lian family didn't take a fancy to these girls, but it was difficult for her, you must know that the reputation of the Anping County Mansion in Kyoto City is not good, and only the Fang family, who is good at studying, would want to marry the Anping County Palace, as long as the people who have a little face, they don't want to marry their daughters to the prince of the County Palace, what can she do?

knew that it was a trip for nothing, but to his surprise, when she left, the Lian family actually asked someone to give her a purse.

When I got out of the county king's mansion and opened it, I saw that there was a silver ingot of ten taels in the purse, and the matchmaker was still a little unhappy in her heart, and she was also diluted by the ten taels of silver.

The Fang family asked a matchmaker to come to Jinjia Village to say goodbye to their daughter, this matter was originally carried out in secret, but somehow this matter spread in Kyoto City.

Fang Wen would be greeted by his colleagues when he was on duty during this time. He could hear the ridicule in those words.

And Mrs. Fang is the same, when she went to Beppu for a banquet, the same Mrs. Beppu squeezed her with words, and after a long time, the husband and wife couldn't stand it and thought of a trick.

released to the outside world that it was Zhou Yan who fell in love with his youngest daughter, so he asked the matchmaker to come to his house to say goodbye. However, his family did not agree, and it was not his family who asked the matchmaker to go to the county king's mansion to say goodbye to his little daughter.

The two versions spread in Kyoto City, and in the end, the Fang family's rhetoric overpowered the previous rumors, and Zhou Yan's reputation was only average before, but now it is indeed worse.

Although Zhou Yu was studying the rice transplanter at home during this time, she still asked Ye'er to pay attention to the rumors outside, saying that she was fine, and that her eldest brother was doing that!

And Zhou Yu knew that the most ferocious rumors were a few maids in the courtyard of the Fang family, and Zhou Yu could bear it next time, and he was going to let it go, but he didn't expect that someone didn't want to be a good person, so it's no wonder she.
