[Red Mansion] Mother Jia has a paralyzed face

The results of the township examination came out, Jia Zhu ranked No. 20, Jia Lian, um... a little bit behind, passed No. 70 six, although the ranking is not too high, but as long as you can pass, you are lucky.

Everyone was very excited for the two of them. Jia Min held a small celebration banquet for the two of them at home, just for them to have fun together.

Jia Yu and the other girls secretly embroidered a pair of champions and ranks for each of the two elder brothers. The people above looked carefully and still had a bit of the charm of the two, but Jia Zhu and Jia Lian felt a little embarrassed when they held it in their hands.

Jia Zhu was embarrassed to say that, but Jia Lian rolled his eyes and said, "It's true that you are excited to be brothers, but I'm almost the same as your brother Zhu. ?”

The main force, Jia Yu, and the little cat, Wei Yi'an, looked at each other, but they didn't expect this, and thought it was a good omen.

Jia Xuan laughed straight away, and stopped after a while, pointing to the number one scholar on it, and said: "That's not right, of course you can't pass the exam, and after hundreds of years, history will no longer be tested, people may still hold this Embroidery research is the number one scholar!"

Jia Zhu was shy when she heard that, so she closed the embroidery and put it away. Jia Lian took the embroidery and looked at it carefully. If it can be passed on to future generations, people don’t know who your big brother Hu is, but they might know me, Jia Lian!”

"You are not ashamed, Lian'er." Hearing what they said, Jia Min couldn't help shaking her head with a smile.

Jia Lian smiled, raised a glass of wine and touched Jia Xuan's soup bowl, "Sister will embroider brother's name on it later, we brothers and sisters are bosom friends."

The next day, Jia Xuan really helped Jia Lian embroider her name on it. Jia Lian even wrote a crooked poem to mislead others. He even thought that he must be buried in his own tomb in the future.

Mrs. Zhang doesn't know that Jia Lian, who is already 16 years old, is as boundless as a child. Since the news of the two people's election came out, the two have accelerated to find a suitable marriage for the children. You must know that Jia Hu is at this age. At that time, Xie Pingyuan was already pregnant.

The two have different goals. Wang's network in the scholarly family is not as good as Zhang's, so he thinks that Jia Zhu is relying on Zhang to find a suitable family, and Zhang also watched Jia Zhu grow up, so he is very dedicated in choosing.

The three Jia Yu sisters are also approaching the marriageable age. Normally, at their age, there are not a few people who are engaged. They also want to take a look. Anyway, there are only so many people who can be counted. If there are suitable ones, they can inspect them in advance. with.

Because of this, the two sisters-in-law were together almost every day, and Mrs. Zhang also handed over most of the housework to Xie Pingyuan, and devoted all her attention to the marriage of her children.

Probably the performance of the two people was very obvious. Even the second princess heard the plans of the two sisters-in-law of the Jia family from Princess Anyang. I remembered someone.

This man is the brother of the first emperor, and he is also the uncle of the second princess today. Because he was not a few years older than the princes of the first emperor, he successfully escaped the battle for the throne. When he got older, the first emperor accidentally remembered This younger brother, meant to be conferred a title.

Later, the children and grandchildren were not particularly promising, and they had no rights. When the next generation took over the title, they were directly demoted to the title. The eldest son was the general of Zhen Guo, and the second son was the title of General Fu Guo. Today is relatively close, but it is not much better than the idle clan.

But it's strange to say that her uncle and his two sons are neither self-motivated nor intelligent, but they are very lucky. When they get married, they can miss a wife who is not very well-off but very rich in the family. Gradually, although it was not obvious on the surface, the family fortune became richer.

And even if they are still unpromising in other aspects, no matter what level the clans are, whether they are powerful or not, no one has said that their family is not good, but later the second son took a errand from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make some money. It's oily, and I haven't heard of anyone who has an opinion. This is not an easy task.

And what the second princess wanted to introduce was Tu Jialan, the daughter of his second son.She's seen her before, she doesn't look very good, but she has a gentle temperament, ranking second in the family, and is deeply loved by her father.

The second princess reconciled, and Jia Lian from Rongguo Mansion had just been admitted to Juren, so they naturally had no objection, so she invited Mrs. Zhang to the Princess Mansion to talk about the marriage.

The Zhang family naturally considered the marriage that the princess talked about. Although they did look for the nobles at the beginning, but now the four princes and the eight princes, let alone the four princes, the eight princes are much worse than the Jia family. Even if there are good ones, girls of the right age are not good enough for Jia Lian.

Now the princess is talking about the daughter of the clan. Although the family has no real power, Jialan is serious enough for Jia Lian. No matter where he wants to develop in the future, the husband of a township lord can also scare people.So Mrs. Zhang was very moved.

In addition, when her mother-in-law left, she said that Lian'er wanted a gentle one, and if there was a suitable one, she could order it directly, so after meeting Zhang, she felt that she was indeed very gentle, so she made an appointment for the marriage. The two families issued a decree of marriage.

After Jia Lian's marriage was settled, the Zhang family and the Wang family concentrated on busying Jia Zhu's marriage. Jia Zheng's official position was lower. He can't reach it either.

In the end, two families were selected, one was Yuan Yuwei, the eldest daughter who studied as a bachelor in the fourth-rank cabinet, and the other was He Danzi, the eldest daughter of Shuntian Fuyin.

Of the two families, although Yuan Yuwei's father has a lower official position at present, her grandfather was the second-rank minister of the Ministry of Industry before he became an official, and her uncle is now the governor of Jiangxi.And she has a beautiful appearance, she has been familiar with poetry and books since she was a child, and she helped her mother manage the housekeeping since she was a child, until her sister-in-law married in.

And He Danzi is virtuous and virtuous, and the most important thing is that she is very gentle, and she is a daughter-in-law that most mothers-in-law would like.

"Who do you think is more suitable for Pearl?"

Mrs. Wang is very conflicted. Of course she likes He Danzi more, but Zhu'er has a gentle personality, and he will walk in the officialdom in the future. If there is no one in the back house who can take care of him and get a good wife, it will have a negative impact on Zhu'er's future. No, it seems that Yuan Yuwei is even better.

It's just that she is worried that Yuan Yuwei's temper is too strong, and she won't be able to get along with her when the time comes, making the house restless...

"Siblings? Why don't you worry about it? Let's talk about it together." Mrs. Zhang saw that Mrs. Wang couldn't make a decision, so she took the initiative to ask; come /

Mrs. Wang also replied honestly: "Actually, I know in my heart that it would be better for Zhu'er if I marry the Yuan family, but that girl seems to have a bit of a strong temper, I don't know if she will..."

"Are you worried that you won't get along?"

Wang nodded, it was true.

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "The important thing is to be sensible. Presumably, with such a family background, the daughters taught will not be too bad. If you are worried about conflicts, you might as well let go of your children."

Mrs. Zhang is thinking very openly now, and she is going to do it. If she is not worried that Xie Pingyuan is still young and prone to omissions, and there are children in the family who are not married, she will definitely let go of it.

Why would Jia She, a man who was supposed to be the head of the family, live a comfortable life outside, while she, a woman, would have to work hard all the time?

As for Mrs. Wang, she is just a bit of a dead end. She originally admired her mother-in-law's chic life, but now she is acting on her own.

So later, the Zhang family and the Wang family asked the eldest princess to be a matchmaker to propose marriage to the Yuan family for Jia Zhu. Not to mention anything else, Jia Zhu is indeed a very good child in the capital, so the marriage was successfully concluded. .

Since Jia Zhu and Jia Lian were not too young, the wedding date was set in June of next year. One day at the beginning of the month, one day at the end of the month and one day at the end of the month were auspicious days for getting married, and there was still time to wait for their return.

After tossing about the marriage of the two children, Mrs. Zhang prepared to write a letter to tell her mother-in-law and them. Just as the letter was sent out, she happened to get the good news from the Ningguo Mansion, saying that her cousin, Mrs. Zheng, was pregnant again. .

Jia Jing... is also possible.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly sent another letter to tell her mother-in-law about this, so Zhang Rui received another letter the next day after receiving the letter from the mansion confirming the marriage of the two children.

I wondered why there were two letters. When I opened it, it turned out that Mrs. Zheng was pregnant again at such an age. Logically speaking, this is a good thing, but Zhang Rui couldn't express his happiness.

When Jia Min learned about this, she expressed excitement and said to her mother, "Mom, does this mean that I may have another child in the future?"

Zhang Rui said absent-mindedly: "You are not very old, and it is not strange to have children."

"Why are you not old? I thought I might never have another child in this life. I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be pregnant!"

Jia Min's age is really not that old in Zhang Rui's opinion, but many people in this era are grandmothers under the age of 30, so it's no wonder she sighs like this, it's just that it's not easy for older women to have children, and she even I wish Jia Min had only these two daughters.

When Lin Ruhai came back in the evening, the husband and wife lay on the bed and talked about things in the capital. Jia Min talked about her pregnant cousin with admiration in her tone, "I don't know if we can have a child, but we couldn't give birth to a boy for the Lin family. , I always feel a little bit guilty."

"It's not your fault. I'm satisfied with two beautiful daughters." After finishing speaking, Lin Ruhai saw that Jia Min's expression was still not relieved, so he deliberately smiled in her ear and said, "Do you have any children? It’s not something you can think about…”
