Ning Zhan spent two years observing the teenagers around him, and it seemed that Gong Changhou's second son, Peng Kangtai, and Ruyi were the most suitable.
"Four princes, what do you think of Peng Kangtai?"
Qiyou smiled and said: "The ability is not particularly outstanding, but the person is progressive, and he acts appropriately. It's just that your sister is the eldest daughter of the family. If you promised him, it would be considered a low marriage."
Although I have studied with Mother Dai for three years, Ruyi has grown a lot more than before, but human nature cannot be changed.
Ning Zhan said: "My sister's temperament can only be married to a family with a simple population. The population is too complicated, and she can't cope with it. Gong Changhou did not accept concubines, so the family has only six people, and Gong Changhou The wife is also easy-going." Not only Peng Ya, but also many generals in the Ming Dynasty did not accept concubines.
Seeing Ning Zhan's thoughtful consideration, Qiyou said, "You write to your uncle to decide on this matter, don't come forward." As for Xiao's urine, Peng Kangshun is definitely not in favor.
Ning Zhan nodded and said, "I know." It is also Ruyi's temperament that is too submissive and has no scheming, otherwise he would not bother so much. Like Ruhui, he is not afraid. With Ruhui's temperament, no matter who you marry, you can live well.
Ning Hai has also been paying attention to the outstanding young generals in the army over the years, but he has fallen in love with a young man in the middle. But when he learned that there was a 14-year widow mother in the other party's family and six other brothers and sisters, he gave up the idea. It is difficult for a widow’s son to marry, not to mention having so many brothers and sisters, he cannot cope with his wishful temperament.
At this moment, Ning Hai received a letter from Ning Zhan. Although Peng Kangshun's conditions are not the best, it has to be said that it is the most suitable for Ruyi.
Ning Hai didn't even think about using his daughter to marry him. After thinking about it, he wrote to the Xiao family and asked her to give the Peng family a message. If the Peng family is willing, they would invite matchmakers to come and propose marriage. If it is unintentional, their daughter will not worry about marrying.
After Xiao inquired about Peng Kangshun's situation, he was a hundred dissatisfied with him. But she didn't have the guts to resist Ning Hai, so she told Ning Zhan about this: "The second grandfather of the Peng family has average appearance and ability, and is the second son. In the future, she won't be able to get any property. Zhan'er, you write Letter to your father and let him dispel this idea." Xiao is a girl from a scholarly family, and hopes to find a good-looking, talented husband and wife for Ruyi. Of Peng Kangshun, naturally I look down on it.
Ning Zhan said, "Mother, it's useless for me to persuade me to decide what my father decides. And I believe that since Dad has fallen in love with the second master of the Peng family, this person must be unique." Fortunately, I heard the words of the fourth prince. , I didn’t talk to Xiao first about it. Otherwise, this marriage must be ruined.
Even if Xiao Clan was reluctant, he didn't dare to disobey Ning Hai's meaning.
Mrs. Peng got the words of the middleman, and did not invite the official media to come to propose marriage, but sent someone to inquire about what happened to the Ning family recently.
At this time, Ruyi also knew that Ning Haixiang had hit Gong Changhou's second son, Peng Kangshun. Listening to the meaning of Xiao's words, this Peng Kangshun was not only mediocre, but also ugly, and his mood instantly fell to the bottom.
But Ruhui said with different opinions: "Sister, don't listen to my mother's one-sided words. Since Dad chose this Peng Kang book, he must have its own advantages. Sister, don't worry, let A Zhan help you inquire about it. ."
It just so happened that Ning Zhan went home this evening.
Knowing Ruyi's worries, Ning Zhan said: "Peng Kangshun is sixteen years old this year and is already a deputy lieutenant from the seventh rank. Sister, he got this position on his own." This shows that Peng Kangshun's ability is not bad. Of course, people like the princess are incomparable.
"Mother said she looks ugly."
Ning Zhan frowned and said, "Peng Kangshun is very good-looking." His looks are not particularly outstanding, but he is definitely not ugly.
Ruhui added: "How do you compare with Dad?" Ning Hai looks rougher. If he is rougher than his father, then I can't bear to look directly at it.
"How can he compare to Dad!" Seeing Ruyi's face collapsed, Ning Zhan smiled and said, "Don't worry! Peng Kangshun looks pretty good."
Ruyi asked: "Really?"
Ning Zhan thought for a while and said, "If the eldest sister is not at ease, I will arrange for you to meet. If the eldest sister is not satisfied, I will write to my father to let him dispel the idea."
As long as it's not ugly, Ruyi said: "Marriage matters, parents order the matchmaker's words." This means that since Ning Hai has set it, children can't go against their will.
Ning Zhan said, "Eldest sister, although the conditions of the Peng family are not particularly good, their population is simple, and Mrs. Gong Changhou is easy-going. If you marry to the Peng family, you don't have to worry about making things difficult for your mother-in-law."
Ruhui was a little confused and asked, "A Zhan, how do you know these things?"
Ning Zhan smiled and said: "Naturally, I have inquired about it. Eldest sister, Madam Peng gave birth to two sons and two daughters; the eldest daughter is already married, and the fiancé of Gongchang Hou Shizi is a girl with a hearty personality; the youngest daughter is still young, but innocent. Lively. I believe you will get along well with them after you marry." With a wishful temper, you will definitely be bullied when you meet a tricky wife or sister-in-law.
Only then did Ruyi's heart fall back to its original place. She does not seek prosperity and wealth, but only hopes that her life will be peaceful and happy.
Mrs. Peng's people, after inquiring about it, didn't find out anything. Especially Ning's eldest girl seldom goes out, and there are no bad rumors.
After thinking about it, Peng's mother approached Peng Kangshun and told him about it.
Peng Kangshun was a little dumbfounded: "You mean, Mrs. Anyang wants to grant me the eldest daughter?"
The Peng family is a marquis, speaking higher than the earl of the Ning family. But the Peng family only attacked the marquis of three generations, and there is no special background. Moreover, Peng Kangshun was still the second son and could not attack the marquis. Uncle Anyang is the queen's uncle, and Ning Zhan is the prince's companion. There is still much room for improvement in the Ning family. If he could marry the Ning family girl, it would be no less than a pie in the sky for him.
Seeing her son feel a little silly with joy, Mrs. Peng said: "If it's okay, this is a good relationship that you can't find. But I'm afraid this is not a pie, but a discus."
Peng Kangshun immediately awoke from his excitement: "Mother, what do you mean, Miss Ning has a problem?"
If there is no evidence, Peng's mother dare not say nonsense: "I am worried about this."
Peng Kangshun said: "Mother, have you sent someone to inquire about it?"
Peng Mu said with a loud voice: "I sent someone to inquire, only that Mrs. Anyang Bo and the two girls rarely go out."
"anything else?"
Mother Peng said: "Three years ago, Anyang Bo's House invited a parenting maid from the palace to teach the two girls. The others are gone."
Upon hearing this, Peng Kangshun immediately said: "Mother, I will send the official media to the Ning family to propose marriage tomorrow." As the nanny in the palace taught, the Ning family girl will definitely not do anything to go beyond.
Madam Peng hesitated, and said, "Kangshun, let my mother ask me about it again."
Peng Kangshun said: "I'm afraid that when we find out clearly, the Ning family thinks that we are not sincere and unwilling." After passing this village, there will be no more shop. He wants to marry such a helpful wife in the future, don't even think about it.
"Think clearly? Don't regret it?"
Seeing that Peng Kangshun didn't change her mind, Mrs. Peng sent a lady in charge to invite the official media.
On the second day, the official media went to Ning's family to propose marriage.
The Xiao family didn't promise but didn't refuse, only that they would consider it. When the official media heard about it, they knew it was worthwhile, and the so-called consideration was also a manifestation of the woman's reservedness.
Two days later, Mrs. Peng invited the official media to Shang Ning's family to propose marriage. The first refusal was reserved, and if he refused again, it would be insincere. Xiao's heart was unwilling, and he still promised a marriage.
On the second day after the wedding, Ning Zhan invited Peng Kangshun to the Fuyun Restaurant for dinner, and Qiyou accompanied him. When he came out of the Fuyun restaurant, Peng Kangshun shuddered. I was too nervous and sweated. When the wind blows, it naturally feels cold.
When he got home, Mrs. Peng saw him and asked; "Bo Shi Zi Anyang asked you for a drink? What did you say?"
Peng Kangshun said softly: "Anyang Boss said that if the girl from the Ning family is soft-tempered, I hope I will treat her well in the future."
"Other than that?"
Peng Kangshun hesitated and said: "The fourth prince was there at the time. He could not tell me to take a concubine." As for Qiyou, he threatened him and said that if he dared to take a concubine, he would let his three legs become two legs. I didn't say anything.
Madam Peng was not unhappy after hearing this, but smiled and said: "In this way, the relationship between Anyang Bofu and the Fourth Prince is very good." If not, she won't be nosy.
Peng Kangshun thought about the way the two got along at the time: "Well, the relationship is very good, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are brothers."
Not long after the marriage was settled, Mrs. Peng heard a rumor that the Ning family had an affair with others. It's just that Uncle Anyang hates the poor and loves the rich.
There were originally doubts about this marriage, and Mrs. Peng turned blue with anger when she heard this rumor.
However, she was wise and ran to the Ning family to withdraw from her relatives without getting angry. Instead, he approached Peng Kangshun and told him about the matter: "Go to the son of Anyang and ask what the hell is going on? If it is true, even if Anyang is the uncle of the queen's wife, we have to withdraw from such a marriage. "
Peng Kangshun didn't believe it, and said, "Mother, I think this is a rumor spread by someone with a heart. If not, why did it come out after the marriage between me and the Ning family?"
"It's better for you to ask about it." If there is no reason, why other people arrange her if they don't arrange it! Of course, she will also send someone to inquire secretly. I just hope that this is not true.
Peng Kangshun approached Ning Zhan and asked, "A Zhan, did your family offend someone?" This was a more tactful question.
Ning Zhan asked strangely: "What's wrong?" His father has offended more people, among them Yan Wushuang has always wanted to kill his father! However, these are all disputes between adults, and Peng Kangshun will not be asked. I'm afraid, there are other things.
After talking about the rumors outside, Peng Kang said: "I suspect that the person who spread the rumors has ulterior motives, and the purpose is to separate me and Ruyi." These words also showed his attitude.
This rumor was only in a small area and did not spread widely. After all, the Ning family is backed by the queen. Without evidence, I didn't dare to say nonsense, or I would offend Uncle An Yang. Ning Zhan was always in the palace, and the Xiao family rarely went out, so the Ning family did not know this rumor. nt
