Chapter 286: Stranger in the Courtyard
Zhuang Ruhai, who had this calculation in his heart, just spread the news that he wanted to recruit a husband for his daughter-in-law, and suddenly received batch after batch of responses.
You must know that Zhuang Mingyue's identity and status now are completely different from when Shen Yue'e recruited Zhuang Mingyue's husband.
At the beginning, Zhuang Mingyue was only related to the royal family, plus she also had an Egret Academy and a beauty and health center shop that was quite prosperous.
So these things together, even if Zhuang Mingyue's reputation is very poor, it is very cost-effective to marry Zhuang Mingyue in comparison, and it is a big deal to marry Zhuang Mingyue as a concubine.
In this way, Zhuang Mingyue will not only follow him with all her heart, but will even bring great benefits to her husband's family because of her connections and money.
That's why at that time, even if Zhuang Mingyue's reputation was extremely bad, they could still ignore this.
But now it is different, today's Zhuang Mingyue is not only the only county lord of the Tiansheng Dynasty, but also the title of Qinghe.
The reputation of her Egret Academy is even more resounding in this Tiansheng Dynasty, and most of the business of the beauty and health salon is the business of rich officials, so you don't have to think about it to know how profitable it is.
It is precisely because of this that when Zhuang Ruhai brought it up and was about to recruit a husband for his daughter-in-law Zhuang Mingyue, so many people came to hand over the invitation.
You must know that with Zhuang Mingyue's current identity, as long as they can be lucky enough to marry Zhuang Mingyue, then it means that they will be taken a closer look by the emperor in the future.
And as long as there is this opportunity, when the time comes, let Zhuang Mingyue be in front of the emperor and let her say a few good words for them, will they be afraid that they will not be able to soar?
For this reason, for a while, all the unmarried sons and sons of high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, regardless of whether they really wanted to marry a wife or not, did not hesitate to directly hand over the invitation.
And by the time Zhuang Mingyue realized that something was wrong, Zhuang Ruhai had already helped her pick out some of the future husbands he thought were fast sons-in-law from the first batch of invitations.
Zhuang Mingyue, who had an extreme headache for Zhuang Ruhai's behavior, looked at the excited appearance of the crowd, and only felt full of impatience and irritability.
Seeing Zhuang Ruhai, he once again sent away a group of so-called, son-in-law and brother in the family of high-ranking officials and nobles, and the matchmaker who couldn't keep his mouth shut with a smile. Zhuang Mingyue finally couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, and rushed directly from the backyard to the front hall.
There was an obvious look on his face, "Father! I have something to say to you. ”
Although Zhuang Mingyue has already complained about Zhuang Ruhai, the other party has never done anything extremely excessive and unforgivable to him like Shen Yue.
So when faced with this kind of situation, she still subconsciously chose to give Zhuang Ruhai some face, at least she wouldn't let outsiders see the joke here.
While thinking like this, Zhuang Ruhai, who was still picking over there, finally slowly raised his eyes and looked over, "Mingyue? What are you doing here? But I don't worry about my father's choice for you, but my father told you, this choice of husband should not only look at the appearance, but also take a good look......"
Zhuang Mingyue, who didn't want to listen to Zhuang Ruhai's long speech, frowned slightly and invited the matchmakers away, then turned her head again, frowned and stared at Zhuang Ruhai, who was still selecting and reciting words in front of her.
"Father! My daughter has said it several times, I don't want to get married now, you don't have to choose this so-called husband for me again! ”
Zhuang Mingyue is really angry at this moment, in her opinion, she is not very old now, and in the twenty-first century, she is still in the rising period of her career.
And at such a critical time, how could she go home to give birth to children and children for the sake of those so-called "fathers-in-law" who are married to their fingertips?
Zhuang Mingyue, whose mind was not above this at all, looked at Zhuang Ruhai, who had not heard her speak at all, and the annoyance on her face became more obvious.
"Father! Do you hear your daughter?! ”
As Zhuang Mingyue questioned again angrily, Zhuang Ruhai, who hung his head to choose the invitation, finally raised his head again.
But this time, his eyes were not on Zhuang Mingyue's body, but looked straight in the direction behind Zhuang Mingyue, "Mingshu, you came just in time, you talked to your father, how did your father choose a husband for Mingyue like this, and he became a heinous sinner?" ”
Although Zhuang Ruhai does want to earn a lot of dowry from Zhuang Mingyue's marriage, he is not as ruthless as Shen Yue, who gives more money for Zhuang Mingyue to marry.
On the contrary, he was extremely serious about Zhuang Mingyue, choosing among the unmarried sons and brothers. In order to be able to let Zhuang Mingyue really marry a good man.
also feels that Zhuang Mingyue is not too young now, and Zhuang Mingshu, who should be married, nodded quite approvingly after hearing Zhuang Ruhai's words, "Mingyue, what Dad said is good, now you have reached the point where it is time to talk about marriage, I believe that Dad will definitely choose a good husband for you, so don't resist like this." ”
I didn't expect Zhuang Mingshu to be standing on Zhuang Ruhai's side, Zhuang Mingyue was suddenly blocked and speechless, and after gasping several times, he slowly spoke again: "Brother, you are more than older than me, even if you get married, you should be before me!" ”
Zhuang Ruhai, who heard this, reprimanded disapprovingly, "Nonsense! Your brother is now preparing for the imperial examination, how can he be distracted from getting married, and men are different from women, that is, after your brother has finished the imperial examination, that age is not too old. ”
"But if you wait for that age, who else will marry you at your age?"
Zhuang Mingyue listened to it in her ears, Zhuang Ruhai kept saying words with her age, and she only felt that her eyes were a little dazed and her head hurt.
Zhuang Mingyue thought that in this family, although the cheap mother was not good to her, there was still a group of superb relatives around her. But there is still a group of family members who are good to her, but she never thought that this group of family members is now standing in the same camp, and wants her to marry on the grounds that she is old enough and should marry as a wife.
In this era, women marry earlier and get pregnant earlier than men, which is really extremely disliked.
In Zhuang Mingyue's view, the so-called long-term love in ancient times did not exist at all.
The so-called long-term love is just because the woman has married into her husband's family, no matter what happens to her husband's family, you can only live with this man for the rest of your life in the future?
If you don't want to be abandoned by this man, or watch him hug his three wives and four concubines all day long, you have to pounce on each other. And only in this way can you continue to live in it, and over time, you will think that the person you really love in your heart is the man she married.
Zhuang Mingyue, who was extremely disgusted with this kind of marriage, saw that the family in front of her was still instilling these old ideas in her, and her frowning brows suddenly tightened.
However, at this moment, when she listened to these words in her ears, she didn't want to listen to them anymore, and turned around and left in front of them.
Zhuang Mingyue, who was extremely unhappy with these things in itself, thought that if she continued to live here, it would be extremely likely that she would have to be like those women, and she would have to accept her husband and marry one woman after another for the so-called dispersion.
And in the future, she will have to constantly please him for her husband's little pity, and she will have to compete with other women for this poor bastard, when there is little love to the extreme, it makes Zhuang Mingyue feel even more unacceptable.
Zhuang Mingyue, who couldn't accept this in the end, suddenly thought that if she really married Long Yuanxiu in the future, and he, as a prince, still had to marry a side concubine, in order to fill the backyard, he had to continue to marry a concubine who was younger than the other and more beautiful than the other, and felt a chill.
"If that's the case, it's better not to marry and be a Dink!" Zhuang Mingyue, who was not willing to live this kind of life at all, with this nameless anger, was ready to go back to his own small courtyard to buy and rest in order to maintain his health.
After all, it is far better to grow flowers and grass in that small yard than to care about all this mess.
With this kind of idea that the scenery can be pleasant and comfortable, Zhuang Mingyue has also walked to the door of the small courtyard.
However, what Zhuang Mingyue didn't expect was that when she just sighed that the small yard had not been taken care of for so long, it was actually quite clean.
The hand on the doorknob, before he could retreat, saw that the courtyard door was directly opened from the outside in.
Looking at the woman who suddenly opened the door, Zhuang Mingyue's eyes suddenly widened. Then I saw her retreat, and after confirming once again that this courtyard was indeed the small courtyard she bought, Zhuang Mingyue's face turned completely black.
Zhuang Mingyue looked at the woman who was in exposed clothes and smelled of dust, frowned and stepped directly into the courtyard with a straight face.
The woman who opened the door first, saw Zhuang Mingyue suddenly open the door and break in, and chased after her with a bad face, "Alas, who is this woman you?" Why do you trespass into our yard? ”
Zhuang Mingyue, who heard this, had already walked to the center of the courtyard, and when she saw that there were several women in the courtyard who questioned her, dressed too similarly, and smelled of wind and dust, her face sank completely.
I saw her stop and sneer at a few people, "Who am I?" This yard is my yard, and I want to ask, where did you women come from?! ”
