"Really? Whose son is it? The ladies of Taoyao's family all put down the leaf cards in their hands, and a few small ones gathered around the Shaw family.

Tao Yao's mother, Sun Shi, sat on the kang with Shao Shi, while instructing Tao Yao to pour tea.

The Sun family had already entrusted the Shao family to help Tao Yao look at each other, after all, Tao Yao would be sixteen after the New Year, and it was indeed the age to get married.

Although she is the youngest in the family, except for her, everyone in the family who is with Tao Yao has already married and even has children.

Tao Yao listened, but her face was red, she couldn't imagine that the Shaw family was here for this matter, so she only listened to her mother's instructions and went to pour tea first. While fiddling with the tea bowl, I listened from a distance that Shaw had opened the conversation with his mother.

"This young master, surnamed Chu Mingping, is the eldest son of the Chu family cloth shop in Hangzhou.

This year is seventeen, only three months older than our family, hey, that child looks handsome, looks the same as our family, there is nothing to say.

And the child loves to read since he was a child, when he was fourteen years old, he was in Xiucai, and he studied in my son-in-law's school, I asked my son-in-law, and my son-in-law said that he was called a 'gentle, modest and polite', and my son-in-law liked him the most, and he was a good young master. ”

Sun nodded again and again after hearing this, and said, "Her father likes children who love to read." ”

Taoyao's grandmother also opened her mouth and asked, "How is the family situation?" ”

Shaw continued: "Oh, auntie, you don't have to worry about this, how can I say that this is a good matchmaker?" Their Chu family is well-off and has business in Hangzhou and Guangzhou. This Chu Ping is the only seedling in their parents' room. Our family passed away, and that was the life of being the housewife.

The people who told their young master in Hangzhou that they had broken through the threshold, I was also thinking about the entrustment of the eldest sister, and I was hurting the young girl as if I was my own daughter, and I paid attention to her every day. But to be honest, I didn't have much hope at first.

But who would have thought that this marriage was determined by God, and the old lady of the Chu family called me over that day to ask if our family was dying.

Then she asked me if our family was dying, could I let her run away? Give us a compliment.

The old lady smiled, she said that after watching these days, our family is the best, and said that our name is good, what is 'peach blossoms, tables, chairs and chairs', and read two lines of poetry, oops, I don't understand that. In short, it means that we are suitable for their daughters-in-law when we die.

Ask me, if you can be free, please go to the house and have a cup of tea.

That means, it's their wife who wants to see our family die.

What are we afraid of, our family is so handsome, talented, can study, and the needlework is one top and one is good, we can't find a second one in Taoyuan County, I think it's eight or nine and ten. ”

"Huh? Is it? Sun listened to this family and was overjoyed, "That's really good." ”

Tao Yao's sister-in-law on the side was also happy, and pulled Tao Yao, who was standing on the side and was a little at a loss, and quipped: "This little boy is good, this time you are really going to get married." ”

The old lady of the Tao family, who had been sitting in the hall on the side, spoke: "Who else are there in their family?" Is it a generational business? But where else are the officials? ”

Seeing this, Shaw Brothers hurriedly said: "Those who have not been officials have been in business for generations, but they can be regarded as wealthy in Hangzhou."

This Chu Ping also has a younger brother and a younger sister, both of whom are still young. Chu Ping's father's generation was the only one in his father's generation, and the family was also an old lady, and the wife was all there, and now the wife was in charge of the family. ”

When Sun heard this, his joy also decreased, but he began to worry a little: "Then the Chu family is so rich, will we dislike our family for being poor at that time, and will we be wronged in the past?"

Is the wife who heads their family easy to get along with? It's in Hangzhou, it's too far away, and if she is wronged, we won't be able to support her......"

Shaw Brothers heard Sun say this, but he didn't think so: "Oh, big sister, what are you worried about this?" Then our brother Gu is a member of the Ministry of Rites in the capital, we are officials, that Shi farmers and businessmen, our family is a scholar, their family is a businessman, we are not afraid.

And his children, studying in my son-in-law's school, if they dare to bully the young, there is still my son-in-law there to support the young.

Take 10,000 steps back, this Hangzhou is not far from our Taoyuan, if you want to go to see your daughter, why don't you go together? ”

These words made the old lady of the Tao family feel comfortable listening to it, their Tao family is a scholar, the old lady of the Tao family is a lifter, and at that time he made a master book from Jiupin in Taoyuan County, and then his health was not very good, so he resigned.

When Tao Yao's father Tao Li was thirty years old, he was also admitted to Xiucai, but unfortunately he took the township exam three times over the years, and he failed again and again, and now he is still just a Xiucai.

It's just that he still has regrets in his heart, since he was a child, he urged Taogu and Taoyao to study, Taogu finally lived up to expectations, and was admitted to the Jinshi, although it was only a third-class Jinshi background, but it was also a good thing for the glorious lintel, and he still stayed in Beijing to serve.

Although he is just a small eight-grade secretary of the Ministry of Rites, in charge of urging, auditing, writing off, books and other logistics and miscellaneous matters, this is already a great opportunity for children from poor families like them.

Taoyao's uncle was selected to be an official, and he took over his father's position, and now he is also the chief secretary of Taoyuan County. It's just that his son, Tao Yao's cousin Tao Yuan, didn't like to read since he was a child, and he failed in the college examination for several years, and he didn't even get into the show, so he also broke the jar and broke it, and he was too lazy to eat the bitterness of studying anymore, and now he has opened a wine shop at home, and his life is passable.

The Tao family, young and old, all have some fame, although they don't have much wealth, but in their small place in Taoyuan County, they can be regarded as a high-class family.

In Tao Yao's family affairs, the Tao family is picky and selective, and the high is not low.

On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, because of the arrival of the Shaw family, Taoyu's marriage became the only important thing in the family, and everyone had to discuss, and when the two Taoli brothers and Taoyu's two brothers went out to pay New Year's greetings and returned, the wives of the Taojia family had already discussed how many children they would have after Taoyao.
