Article 887

The gaze of exploration, which made Yi Zhengting confused, and he didn't understand what was going on?

It wasn't until noon that Wang Dacai, an official of the third grade of the Hanlin Academy, told Yi Zhengting the inside story, and felt that these people had seen the light of their daughter blooming at the palace banquet, and wanted to give it while Yi Ning was still young.

After explaining the intention, Lord Wang said eagerly: "Although we don't know each other very well, but don't worry, our dogs are also a little famous in Kyoto, and our ancestors have personally educated them at home, and our family has been a scholarly family for generations, what do you think of the court?" If I can, I will ask the official media to come to the door in two days to propose marriage and settle the matter of the children. ”

Yi Zhengting knows that he can't make his own decisions about his daughter's marriage, although the child is his own, but his thoughts are indeed Yining's own, and there are still Qianjimen there, presumably even the emperor can't force it.

So Yi Zhengting said: "Lord Wang, it's not that I don't agree, our daughter is still too young, only ten years old, and there are still six years before the marriage, and the two children are still children, in fact, as a parent, I really don't pick any family, as long as the child can be good, the husband and wife can love each other in the future, I think this is what all parents want to see, so I don't want to settle the child's marriage so early, wait for it to be said later." ”

Lord Wang said: "Brother Zhengting, I can understand your thoughts, if I have such a good daughter, I will stay for two more years, but like the daughter of the elder brother's family, I am not afraid of the elder brother's jokes, if I really wait for the time to go, then it is estimated that there will be nothing to do in our family at that time, and please understand that I am also a father, and there are few children in the family, our family does not have a big family, and my wife and I are also more affectionate than Jinjian, so I think such a well-behaved family is more suitable for your children. That's why I took the liberty to say it directly, brother, don't laugh. ”

This Lord Wang's character is indeed very upright, and Yi Zhengting also sees it in his eyes, but he hasn't asked himself Yan'er's opinion and Yi Ning's own meaning, Yi Zhengting really doesn't want to give it immediately.

His daughter is a very thoughtful child, and it is estimated that even if she is given regardless of the child's wishes, her daughter has the ability to stir up the yellow, but Yi Zhengting is reluctant to let his child suffer any grievances, and her daughter just wants to be pampered.

In the eyes of outsiders, it seems that everything in the family today is the result of his efforts, but in fact, only he and his wife understand that Yining's child is the blessing star of this family, and everything in the family is brought by this daughter, so Yi Zhengting will not agree before asking Yining's meaning.

Of course, this Lord Wang also pities the hearts of parents in the world, and it is not wrong to take the liberty of proposing that he wants to be in-laws, and he is also sincere, and the environment at home is also good, and it is not good to refuse directly after all, and he will meet often in the future.

So Yi Zhengting said: "Lord Wang, I still have to discuss this matter with Humble Jing, and I will reply to you in two days, but I will say it first, if it doesn't become Lord Wang, you can't annoy me." ”

Lord Wang is also in a very good mood when he looks at Yi Zhengting who is so frank, no wonder his daughter can educate so well, to say a big disrespectful word, it is not worse than the princess in the palace, the child's appearance and bearing around him are not inferior to the royal princess.

It's no wonder that yesterday the son went back in a hurry to see himself and explained his thoughts, Lord Wang discussed with his wife in the evening and felt that this matter was feasible, this child is so good, if he didn't settle down earlier, it is estimated that he will have nothing to do with his own family when he grows up.

However, I also know that even if it is settled, it may not be so easy, and Lord Wang also feels that Yi Zhengting has a great chance of being promoted in the future, and if he promotes his son in the officialdom, his son's life will definitely be good in the future.

Therefore, Lord Wang was very happy when he heard that Yi Zhengting did not refuse in person, so he said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, your children are so good, who you want to give it to will naturally have to be carefully considered and discussed, and I will wait for my brother's good news." ”

After that, Lord Wang left, and as soon as Yi Zhengting took a breath, Lord Qin, the direct boss of the Hanlin Academy, also mentioned the matter a little, but did not say it explicitly, Yi Zhengting replied directly: "Thanks to Lord Qin's praise, our daughter still has to wait a few years before talking about marriage, and she is still too young." ”

Lord Qin didn't mention this matter again after listening to Yi Zhengting's tone, but just talked to Yi Zhengting about government affairs, but he still asked about Yi Ning's situation more or less during the conversation.

Yi Zhengting finally returned to his position, but he didn't expect a lot of people to come one after another, from the son of the third-rank official, to the concubine of the Hou Mansion, as well as the side room of the high-ranking family, and the father of the son of the fourth-rank official and the fifth-rank official.

But at the same time, there is also the joy of my family's daughter growing up, of course Yi Zhengting knows that after his daughter shines at the palace banquet and earns a life for her mother, there will definitely be such a thing, but I didn't expect it to be so much, I don't have time to deal with my official business at the end of this day, and I have been busy with this matter.

Gu Yunyan was not idle at home, since Yi Zhengting went to Hanlin Courtyard in the morning, this concierge has been constantly reporting, which matchmaker came.

Gu Yunyan met with a few, all of them were some family members of the fifth and fourth grades who came to the door to propose, and some of them came directly from the lady with the matchmaker, and everyone couldn't close the door and disappear, so this opened an opening and Yi Zhengting was almost busy for a day, and asked Xiao Dong to tell Yi Ning that he would not come to Lefuyuan to ask for peace today, and he honestly stayed in his yard for a single step and couldn't come out.

Yining received such an edict from her mother in the morning and felt very interesting, she had never seen her mother ask for herself in such a tone, and she was very curious about what happened, so she called Shui Mama and said, "Shui Mama, go to your mother's yard to see, what's wrong?" Why is my mother still holding me in such a tone? ”

Mama Shui was also very strange, because there were too many things in the front yard, Xiao Dong hurried away when the words were delivered, and Mama Shui didn't ask clearly, so she said: "Don't worry, Miss, the old slave will go and see what happened." ”

After a while, Mama Shui came back with a helpless face, and Yin Ning rarely saw Mama Shui's expression, so she asked with a smile: "What's wrong Mama, what's wrong?" ”

Shui Mama said: "The eldest lady really can't go out of the yard. ”

Yining said, "Why? Why is it that even Mama's tone is like this? What's the matter with Lefu Yuan, someone bullied his mother? No, I'll have to check it out. ”

After Yining finished speaking, he jumped off the couch, and immediately put on his shoes and was about to go out, but was stopped by Shui Mama and Yuzhu.

Shui Mama said: "My eldest lady, you can't go, we can't hide now, let's be in the yard, Yuzhu ordered to go down, Miss was infected with the wind and cold yesterday and rested, and no one was seen, and then find a few mothers-in-law with more strength to guard the door for me, and no one was allowed to approach Fuzhaoyuan for half a step." ”

Yin Ning said solemnly: "What happened to Mama Shui?" Tell me quickly. ”

Shui Mama said: "The eldest lady's wife has been surrounded by the ladies of the official family, and she has brought so many matchmakers to the door, and many of the official wives want to see the young lady but have been politely rejected by the lady, so the young lady not only can't go out, but she can't even go out of the house today, so as not to be seen and talked by the matchmaker who doesn't give up." ”

Yi Ning raised his forehead and fainted directly, what's the matter, a little person who was not known at all when his name was not known before, although he was not small, at least he was the eldest lady of Qianjimen, but this matter was not too early, he was only ten years old, and he was still ten years away from the standard of marrying here, why are these people so anxious?

Is it your looks, your talent, or something else?

I'm afraid Yin Ning won't be able to figure it out for a while, this is troublesome, but I'm worried that my mother won't be able to deal with it, so Yin Ning can only put on the clothes of the little maid, and tell Mama Shui about her whereabouts, and along the way she lowered her head and went to Lefu Yuan, jumped in from the window of her mother's inner room, walked to the outer room, and observed the situation next door.

Yin Ning was taken aback by this, my god there are more than a dozen matchmakers, and my mother is surrounded in the middle, these matchmakers and those official wives are about to fight together for Yining.

These matchmakers are all dressed in colorful clothes, they still have matchmaker moles on their faces, they still have a pungent gouache smell on their bodies, and they are throwing a big handkerchief around, their waists are so thick, and they are twisting hard, lest they twist less and have a good marriage.

Gu Yunyan looked at these matchmakers in front of him with a headache, there were people from all sides here, and even a matchmaker came to Beidinghou's house, saying that she was proposing marriage to Beidinghou's grandson, and letting Yining go over to be a concubine, or she looked like she was giving you a great favor, which made Gu Yunyan very annoyed.

This Song matchmaker said to Gu Yunyan: "I said Mrs. Yi, look at my Song matchmaker, but she came to propose marriage on behalf of the Beiding Marquis Mansion, that is the eldest son and grandson's concubine, to put it mildly, the identity of your family's five products is really raised, you have to think about it carefully." ”

This Song matchmaker is also relatively proud of many matchmakers, and she is still very famous in Kyoto, and every year in addition to the official media, the business of the Song matchmaker is the most, and the other matchmakers are not happy at this time.

Mrs. Sun, who was wearing an exaggerated big red flower on her head, said: "Mrs. Song is wrong in what she said, what you said this time is a good family background, but this position is too low, not just a concubine, not even a side room, I am talking about the wife of the child of the Sanpin official family today, which you can't compare." ”

On the other hand, the slightly low-key Liu matchmaker said: "Both of you are unreliable, one of you is a concubine of Beidinghou, and the other is a wife, but they are not as good as I said, Beidinghou Mansion is a concubine if she marries in the past, and she can only enter the mansion through the back door, and she sits Xiaojiao and wears pink clothes and carries it directly in, but I don't see any drama, other people's children are trained so well, and the co-author is to be a concubine." ”

"And your grandson matchmaker, what you said is not reliable, the children of the third-grade official family you said are very old, and the age difference between Miss Yining and Miss Yining is six years, waiting for Miss Yining to grow up, it is estimated that the eldest son and eldest daughter have been born, and the environment of the third-grade official family is also very chaotic, and there are a lot of concubines, who knows what the situation will be after waiting for Miss Yining and Miss Yining to marry?"

"You talk nonsense??????" Mrs. Song and Mrs. Sun pointed at Mrs. Liu together, and looked at each other angrily.

Not to be outdone, Mrs. Liu on the side said: "What am I, I sit up straight, it's not like the two of you are talking nonsense in black, white, red and blue in order to earn more silver taels, what I'm talking about today is the son-in-law of the family of Lord Wang, who is a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and there is no mess in the house, this Lord Wang and Mrs. Wang have a very good relationship, there are not many children in the family, and the old people are also alive, and the door style is very good, unlike you who dare to say anything in a mess. ”

Several matchmakers will go out to fight for a while, and Yining must be tired when she looks at her mother's forehead, but she can't go out at this time, and she can't be eaten by these matchmakers, so she can only be in a hurry.

These matchmakers responded to the old saying, "Peers are enemies!" ”

The house is simply a chicken and goose fight, and some are for the concubines of the big families of the Houmen to say goodbye, and a few matchmakers are to say goodbye to the children of the officials of the fifth and sixth grades, and there is even a side room for the second son of the Xiangguo Mansion.

There are no people invited by the four masters, they all know Yining's identity, who will touch this brow, more than a dozen matchmakers argued, and there were several wives of official families, but they were below the fifth grade, they just looked at it and didn't speak, and these matchmakers later began to compare their voices.

"The prince of the Wang family I am talking about is the best." This is where Mrs. Liu pinched her waist and said loudly.

"No, what I said about Hu Gongzi is the best." This is Mrs. Sun.

"You are not as good as the son of the He family as I said." This is Mrs. Song

"You are all unreliable, but the son of the Wu family is the most reliable." Mrs. Qiu said.

These matchmakers almost overturned the roof of the house with one sentence and one sentence, Gu Yunyan just tasted tea and didn't speak, Gu Yunyan also thought about it, say it, if you can't leave, just say it, see how many hours you can speak.

The wives of those official families couldn't sit still and left first, after all, the housewife is a lot of things whether the family business is big or small, and it is impossible to distinguish the number of them when looking at the current situation here, and it is not too rude to say that they are all family members of the official family, let alone compete with these inferior matchmakers, it is really embarrassing to say it.

So these ladies left one after another after drinking several pots of tea, and these matchmakers didn't give tea to Gu Yunyan later, and the more they drank, the more reluctant they were to leave, so most of the day was wasted watching the matchmakers quarrel.

This situation lasted for two hours, and Yining saw that her mother was very tired, so she called Xiao Dong to tell her plan, and Xiao Dong was also annoyed to death, so she could only watch from the side.

Xiao Dong hurriedly ran into the hall and said to Gu Yunyan: "Madam, the kitchen has accidentally run out of water, please hurry up and take a look." ”

Xiao Dong also went to the pantry just now to smear several ashes on his face, which looked really like that, and wiped the burned soot in the stove on his clothes, and there was a choking smell on his body.

So Gu Yunyan immediately stood up and said: "We have something to do in the house, so we won't leave you behind, let's please, you don't have to come over when you have a turnaround, no one in our family will marry, and we will discuss the marriage after the future, you can do it yourself." ”

After finishing speaking, Gu Yunyan went out first, and sure enough, seeing the smoke coming out of the big kitchen, these matchmakers originally wanted to say something, but when they saw this formation, they hurried away, so as not to really catch fire, this house is all wooden structure, and it doesn't matter who is who, so they were all scared away.

Gu Yunyan went to the big kitchen in a hurry, and actually looked at where his daughter commanded and said: "Here the fire will be more prosperous, add some firewood, and over there will be some water to release the black smoke again, but not too much, it will attract the people who patrol the city." ”

Gu Yunyan looked at her daughter dressed up in a little maid's clothes, but it didn't affect the slightest extravagance, just what she was wearing
