Sanyuan Jidi paved a Zhuangkang Road for Xu Wenchang, and his future can be foreseen. Therefore, Liu Er was also very excited.
After thinking about it, Liu Er asked, "I don't know what's the situation in Xu Zhuangyuan's family?" If it is really good in all aspects, such a good candidate can also be considered.
Mrs. Chen knew that Liu Er couldn't be really indifferent. In fact, no matter who had such an outstanding young talent come to ask for a kiss, she would be moved. With Mozhu's talents and appearance, Princess Shang is fine. It means that the current princess of the emperor is not an adult, or else I am afraid that she will not be the head of Yaocen County.
"Mo Zhu's mother is still alive, and his father has passed away; there is a sister above and a sister below. The family population is very simple." Compared with the big families in Beijing, the Xu family's population is simple.
Liu'er immediately asked, "I don't know when Xu Zhuangyuan's father passed away?" The most feared thing was that a young woman would pull the child up. Like her aunt, Liu'er really couldn't imagine that Jiaojiao would have such a mother-in-law.
Speaking of this, Mrs. Chen said with emotion: “He passed away twenty years ago. It is said that he fell ill and the family had no money for treatment. At that time, Mo Zhu was three years old, his sister was only five years old, and his younger brother was only One year old. Old Mrs. Xu worked hard to bring up the three children. Fortunately, now the children are all raised up, and they are all promising."
After a pause, Mrs. Chen added: "Mo Zhu's younger brother Wen Dong is also an example. But because he felt that he couldn't wait for the fire, he didn't participate in this year's test."
Scholars, the most respected are women like Mrs. Xu. For them, Mrs. Xu can become a role model among women. It's a pity that Liuer had no idea when she heard that Mrs. Xu was a young widow who was pulling the older child.
When Liu'er refused, Mrs. Chen couldn't believe her ears: "Princess, Mo Zhu is a good son-in-law who is hard to find with a lantern. Nowadays, I don't know how many people want him to be his son-in-law, you, how... "How can I refuse it!" Mrs. Chen, I really can't figure it out.
Liu Er said with a smile: "My Jiaojiao has never suffered a bit since she was spoiled and spoiled. Although Xu Zhuangyuan is good, I don't want her to marry the Xu family to suffer." Just say that Xu's family is a poor family, and she is unwilling to accept this. Married.
Madam Chen thinks Liu Er is really short-sighted. Talents like Xu Wenchang can't give the head of Yaocen County a prosperous life. It's a pity that she couldn't make sense of Liuer, so she could only go home empty-handed.
This matter quickly reached Chang's ears. The Chang clan couldn't help asking Feng Dajun: "What the hell did the princess think? Xu Zhuangyuan always came to ask for a kiss, and also invited the wife of a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy to be a matchmaker. Why did she refuse." People are full of sincerity, but the princess This shelf is too big.
Feng Dajun also didn't understand, and said, "The princess has her thoughts! Don't tell the princess about this. It doesn't make sense to refuse to say it."
Chang Shi sighed and said nothing more.
Not to mention that Chang Clan couldn't figure it out, even Feng Zhixi didn't understand it. After returning, Feng Zhixi asked Liuer: "Xu Wenchang came to ask for a kiss, why did you refuse?"
Liu Er said: "He had no father when he was three years old. The three brothers were all brought up by widowed mothers and their families were poor. A young woman not only raised her three children, but also raised her two sons to become talents. Do you think I think, what a powerful character this old lady is! Jiaojiao is the one we grew up holding in the palms of our hands. How can she be wronged by others."
Although there is a son-in-law of Sanyuanjidi who is very face, but it is nothing compared to the happiness of his daughter.
Feng Zhixi's tone changed immediately and said, "I refused, so I won't say it." With Cui Qianqian's incident before, he didn't want his daughter to marry a widow's son.
Because Liu'er gave the order, no one asked Jiaojiao about this matter. But the problem is that this kind of thing can be kept from Jiaojiao but not from outsiders.
The champion scholar invited Chen Xueshi's wife to go to the Guogong Mansion to propose marriage, and the incident caused an uproar. Everyone wondered, even the outstanding talents of Sanyuan and Di looked down upon them, and they didn't know what kind of person Princess Heshu wanted to marry the master of Yaocen County.
Some people say sour words secretly, but many people chuckle in their hearts. The princess refused to kiss, showing that they still have a chance.
Liuer had a headache when he heard the rumors, and said to Feng Zhixi: "With this, Jiaojiao's marriage may be even worse."
When Feng Zhixi heard this, he immediately said: "Look for an opportunity to let Jiaojiao meet Zhaozhang." Liuer picked so many candidates, but Feng Zhixi liked Du Zhaozhang.
"Do you like Du Zhaozhang so much?"
Feng Zhixi said: "This kid didn't rely on the help of the family. He was admitted to the Qianwei Camp. Now he is only seventeen years old, and he has been promoted from the sixth rank to the sixth-ranked master by his own ability." It must be good.
Liu'er was also a little moved when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he said, "Then what is the character of this child?"
Feng Zhixi glanced at Liuer and said, "If my character is not good, how could I want him to be my son-in-law."
Liu'er hesitated and said, "But his mother..." To Luo's person, Liu's was really frustrated. What she fears most is dealing with stupid people. Moreover, Jiaojiao also felt extremely against Luo Che.
Feng Zhixi hugged Liuer and said, "There is nothing perfect in this world. Moreover, he is the second son, and he does not have to bear the heavy responsibility of inheriting the family business and supporting his parents. Jiaojiao will be able to live comfortably by marrying him. "The eldest daughter-in-law of a large family will have a heavy burden, and the Jiaojiao temperament is not suitable for the eldest daughter-in-law.
Liu Er thought for a while and said, "Yes, then I'll let people inquire. If you are as good as you said, I'll see you."
The couple did not expect that Xu Yue came to the door the next day. This time she came not to chatter, but to talk to Xu Wenchang as a matchmaker.
Liuer knew Xu Yue's intentions, and was shocked: "Xu Wenchang asked his uncle to be a matchmaker?" A talented man like Xu Wenchang should be very arrogant. Liuer thought that she had refused, and Xu Wenchang would definitely give up. Unexpectedly, this person even begged her uncle.
I have to say that Liu'er is a little loose at this moment. Because of Xu Wenchang's behavior, it proved that he was very sincere. Liuer asked: "What did he say to uncle?"
This time, Xueshi Chen is the chief exam, and Han Jianming and Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites are the secondary exams. Chen Xueshi has outstanding talents and is the second-best background. Not only is he famous among the literati, he is also very fair and honest. He served as the chief examiner, and all officials had no objection. However, because Chen Xueshi and Han Jianming are both examiners, both of them can be regarded as Xu Wenchang's mentors by convention. Therefore, Xu Wenchang asked Han Jianming as a matchmaker, and it made sense.
Xu Yue smiled and said: "He said last year because he dreamed of his mother's health problems, he went to Lingshan Temple to incense the old lady Xu. He accidentally met Jiaojiao in the temple, and he fell off at the first sight of Jiaojiao. Determined not to marry Jiaojiao. Now that the title of the gold list, I have the confidence to invite people to match. Now that Xu Wenchang is the champion of Sanyuan and Dai, he feels that he has the capital to invite a matchmaker to come to propose marriage.
Hearing this, Liu Er couldn't help but think of Mi Mi, and he hesitated again. It's not that Mi Mi likes Xu Wenchang, but Xu Zhuangyuan is too peachy.
Xu Yue said: "Xu Zhuangyuan Lang is an outstanding person, and he has a deep love for Jiaojiao. Princess, it is a rare lover to have such a talented person. It is a pity that such a talent is missed." In fact, she wanted to say that if she refused Liu Er, she would regret it later.
Hearing this, Liu Er raised his head and asked: "Have you seen him?" I have always heard that the number one scholar looks good, but it is a pity that she has never seen him.
Xu Yue nodded and said, "I have seen him, he looks very outstanding. And his words and deeds are not inferior to the family members."
Liuer was struggling hard. She was worried that she would regret her refusal, and she was afraid that Jiaojiao would be tortured by her mother-in-law when she came to Xu's house after agreeing to the marriage.
Xu Yue wasn't a scornful person, and when he saw this, he asked, "Princess, I don't know what concerns you have?"
Liu Er said about his concerns: "This old lady Xu is so powerful, Jiaojiao wants to really marry Xu Wenchang, what if old lady Xu rubs her in the future?"
Xu Yue smiled and said: "I can teach a son like Xu Zhuangyuan, Mrs. Xu must be a smart person. Jiaojiao is the emperor's only niece, and she will not treat Jiaojiao badly." So she thought Liuer The concerns are a bit redundant.
Liu Er couldn't make up his mind either: "Let me think about it."
Xu Yue smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for your news." After a while, he refused, indicating that there is still room for this matter.
Liu Er couldn't make up his mind on her own, so she called Pomegranate over and told her about it.
How can Pomegranate decide such a thing: "Princess, would you like to see this champion first? It would be a shame that the county owner missed such a good person if everyone said it was so good."
Liu Er thought for a while and said, "I'm writing a letter to ask the servant." The main reason is that this is a matter of Jiaojiao's life, and there is no room for mistakes. Therefore, Liuer did not dare to decide alone.
Feng Zhixi accepted the letter and called the deputy commander to come over and explain a few words before returning to Beijing. When they returned home, Feng Zhixi and Liu Er said, "You will post, tomorrow I will invite him to Fuyunlou for a drink." When drinking, I can see a person's true face most clearly.
Liu Er hesitated and said, "I'm afraid that Mrs. Xu will be harsh and harsh, and Jiaojiao will suffer by that time."
Feng Zhixi said: "Your aunt is in an isolated situation after all. Moreover, this widow is also good." This Xu Wenchang is obviously interested in Jiaojiao, and that's the case, he doesn't want to lose a son-in-law of Sanyuan and Dai.
Liuer was still worried. The time is too tight, otherwise you can send someone to Xu Wenchang's hometown to find out the news. Knowing the details of the Xu family makes it easy to make a decision. The current situation left Liu Er with no bottom.
Feng Zhixi said: "I will talk about everything until I meet tomorrow." The comments outside are not true, but seeing is believing.
Liu Er didn't refute, but he reminded him: "Even if you feel good, you have to wait until I see you."
After Feng Dajun learned of this, he immediately indicated that he would go with him.
Precaution Feng Zhixi drank the wine and decided the marriage on the spot. When he set off, Liu Er also reminded: "If you do it privately, please settle the marriage. If you don’t agree with me, don’t blame me. Give you face."
Feng Zhixi smiled and said, "Don't worry, you still have to decide on Jiaojiao's marriage."
