Quickly wear a life of peace

Then Zheng Yunpeng felt embarrassed by those pairs of sparkling eyes and his face turned red.

Zheng Yunshu was amused by what she saw. You know, ever since her brother entered school, his expression became less and less, and he behaved like an old scholar. It was rare to see such a young man.

After coughing twice, Zheng Yunpeng stammered in a low voice, "My grandson has a classmate whose father is a centurion under the general. He has a sister with a straightforward personality. I think she can get along well with our family."

Oh, so there is something going on! Looking at that shy little face, there must be a story behind it!

When Zhou heard this, she immediately couldn't sit still and frowned, "This is a daughter of a military general. You are a scholar who will take the imperial examination. Can you get along with her in the future? Can she read? Can she manage the household? Son, think about it again. Isn't it better for us to find a daughter of a scholar?"

Zheng Yunpeng's face turned pale instantly, but he still tried his best to persuade her, "Don't worry, mother. Her family was originally an ordinary farmer. Her father was lucky and saved a general, so he was promoted to a centurion and made a fortune.

It’s just that my uncle thinks the battlefield is too dangerous, so he hopes that his children and grandchildren can make a living through education, and that girl is also literate.”

Seeing her son, who was just beginning to fall in love, so deeply in love, Zhou was so angry that her teeth ached and she couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

She looked at her husband, then turned to look at her father-in-law and asked for his opinion, "What do you think, Dad?"

Zheng Xingrong closed his eyes and thought for a long time before he asked Zheng Yunpeng, "Peng'er, tell me about their family situation. How much do you know?"

Following Zheng Yunpeng's explanation, everyone realized that this family had a very difficult life.

The centurion was named Gao Lin. He was the second child in the family. He had an older brother who had established a family and a younger brother who was loved by everyone. However, he was not good at speaking and was not liked by his parents. Therefore, when the army was recruited, he was sent without a second thought even though he had just got married.

His wife Liu, who stayed at home, was also oppressed. She was disliked by her parents-in-law and had conflicts with her sisters-in-law. Fortunately, her family was strong and she was able to stand on her own feet. She was also pregnant. Due to their reputation, the Gao family did not dare to go too far.

But she was also the one who had to do all the housework. After giving birth, her brothers from her mother's family took the eggs and she had to work for the Gao family for a month before she could take care of the confinement. When the baby was one month old, she had to go to the fields and do farm work.

Fortunately, the Gao family's house was small, and after the younger brother-in-law got married, there was no room for him at home. In addition, after Gao Lin left, the second wife lost her labor force, and the first and third wives were very dissatisfied. They felt that they were at a disadvantage and were unwilling to support the second wife anymore, so they separated early.

Although she didn't get much, Liu was capable and with the support of her parents, she managed to get by. She became a little aggressive, but it was because she was forced into a corner by the scoundrels in her husband's family.

Fortunately, three years later Gao Lin became a centurion and returned home. He was able to take care of his family and his life became better.

At this time, her husband's family wanted to bring their family together to take advantage of them, but Gao Lin had escaped death several times on the battlefield, which had worn away his love for his parents, so they did not fulfill their wish.

However, the old couple often come to cause trouble by relying on their status as elders, and it is very annoying to force them to show filial piety.

Although he gave up some money, there was nothing he could do in order to protect his reputation and not affect Gao Feng's studies.

Fortunately, the Liu family was able to stand on their own feet and did not suffer a major loss. Fortunately, the old couple passed away one after another within a few years, and the matter finally settled.

At this time, the eldest son Gao Feng had grown up and the family's financial situation had improved, so they sent him to study at the academy. However, this family probably did not have the gene for studying, so his grades were not very good. At best, he could only be a scholar.

The girl Gao Lan probably had never suffered any hardship since childhood, so she had a generous and cheerful personality. Zheng Yunpeng had met her several times and thought that she had a very good personality and was not shy, so he became more interested in her.

When talking about marriage this time, he thought that if he married this girl, she would be able to get along well with his family.

However, Zhou still wanted to find a daughter of a scholar for her son, as such a daughter-in-law could help her son and take better care of him.

As a result, Zheng Yunpeng seemed to be determined to marry the girl from the Gao family. "Mother, my son is just a scholar now. He can't marry a girl from a wealthy family. How can he help me? It's enough for me to live in harmony with you and my son!"

Zhou wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zheng Changqing. Since her son had already decided on this girl, she should do as he wished, so as to avoid being separated from them.

So, even though Zhou was not very satisfied, she still asked the official matchmaker to go to the Gao family to propose marriage.

The Gao family was still satisfied with this marriage. The head of the family preferred scholars, and the Zheng family was well-off and had a good family tradition. They agreed without much hesitation! The two families began to exchange gifts.

However, Zheng Yunshu felt that Zhou was not happy, and the atmosphere at home was obviously a bit depressing. In order for her brother to have a harmonious family in the future and not be caught in the middle, Zheng Yunshu went to find Zheng Yunpeng and taught him how to handle the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Since ancient times, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been enemies. If the son or husband cannot balance the relationship between them, there will definitely be unrest in the family. How can they study well for the imperial examinations in the future?

The Zheng family became very lively. Today, Zheng Yunpeng massaged his mother's shoulders to thank her for her hard work. Tomorrow, he gave her two handfuls of fruit he picked himself to sweeten her mouth. The day after tomorrow, he picked a few flowers for her to wish her eternal youth.

Zhou got two more crow's feet from teasing her, which made Zheng Changqing feel really jealous!

In short, he was very filial to his mother. His mother was the first and no one could compare to her. He never mentioned his fiancée at home.

After all these operations, Zhou's anger was finally relieved by half. As for the other half? Let's wait until the daughter-in-law comes home!

First the engagement letter was issued, then the date was set. Half a year passed, and the wedding date was set for the eighth day of the second month of the following year. Half of the six ceremonies were completed.

There was no rush for the rest, but Zheng Yunshu found that there was something wrong with the way his family looked at him. They were always frowning, looking at him, and not letting him go out.

After a few days of this, Zheng Yunshu couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked Zhou directly, "Mom, is there something wrong at home?"

Zhou was stunned and asked in confusion, "Besides your brother's marriage, there is nothing else? What's wrong?"

Zheng Yunshu's eyes widened, and he asked suspiciously, "Why do you look at me with strange expressions recently, and they change every now and then?"

Uh……

Zhou was speechless. [How should I explain this? My daughter has always had her own opinion. I said I would talk to her first, but my father-in-law insisted that it was not necessary. How can I explain this to her now?]

Zheng Yunshu became even more confused when he saw that Zhou didn't say anything. Normally, her family wouldn't hide things from her, so what was going on now?
