Chapter 36 Becoming a Matchmaker

Since then, Mrs. Zhang has been in a daze, often sitting there alone for a whole noon, without saying a word.

Even if Zhang Yingying came to call her, she didn't respond.

Zhang Yingying often begged for mercy from the mother-in-law who delivered meals, hoping that they would convey to Xie Chunxiao her attitude and determination to admit her mistakes, as well as her mother's current situation, and begged Mrs. Zhen to invite a doctor for her mother.

But women just go in the left ear and out the right ear.

The master had said earlier that they should not meddle in their own business, and it would not be too late to report when they lost their temper.

This room was full of lifelessness, but the Xinglin Garden in that room was full of laughter and laughter.

The Zhen family broke the boat and reported the matter to the officials. In order to save their son, the Wu family had to give up their three restaurants.

And for women, they don't care about that.

Everyone knows that the Wu family persecuted Zhen Zhenzhu and plotted Zhen Zhenzhu's dowry. Afterwards, Miss Zhenzhu never cared about the Wu family's wolfish ambitions, but instead persuaded her uncle to let the Wu family go.

Everyone in Qingzhou knows that the head of the Zhen family, Mrs. Xie, is a virtuous and generous woman from a well-known family.

That's all for Xie Chunxiao, Zhen Zhenzhu is now in her prime, and she has just broken off her engagement with the Wu family, and when her reputation is so loud, it is inevitable that many people will come to propose marriage.

Mrs. Zhen's second wife, Mrs. Zhou's daily wedding invitations, received soft hands, and she was in a difficult situation for a while.

What kind of husband should she find for Pearl?

She always felt that neither this nor that was very good, so she asked Xie Chunxiao to advise her, and Xie Chunxiao said, "This is Pearl's marriage after all, you might as well ask Pearl what she means."

Zhou said: "I think so too, but that child Pearl Pearl is thin-skinned, so I'm always embarrassed to talk about it."

Zhen Baozhu immediately volunteered, "I'll pick a husband for Sister!"

Xie Chunxiao slammed it twice, "What do you know, you kid, don't meddle in it."

Zhen Baozhu stuck out her tongue, turned her back to Xie Chunxiao and silently said the word "No", then quickly slipped out.

When Zhen Baozhu came to Zhen Zhenzhu's residence, her small eyes rolled around, but she didn't find what she was looking for, so she asked, "Sister, where are those marriage certificates?"

Zhen Zhenzhu didn't understand, so, "It's in mother's room, what are you looking for?"

Zhen Baozhu patted her small chest, "Second aunt said, I am very intelligent and have a unique vision, let me pick a husband for my sister."

"Really?" Zhen Zhenzhu blushed suddenly, "You come with me."

Zhen Zhenzhu brought Zhen Baozhu to Zhou's room, and many wedding posts were placed on the table at the entrance, "Most of these people are businessmen who are comparable to our family, but I don't like businessmen."

A flash of interest flashed in Zhen Baozhu's eyes, "Then what kind of person does Sister like?"

"I like scholars." Zhen Zhenzhu's face became more and more rosy. It was not easy for her to say these words to her parents, but sister Baozhu was of the same generation as her, so she had no scruples. Going to a merchant's house like ours, like the uncle, who can read and do business, is an exception."

Zhen Baozhu nodded half-understood, "But sister, you didn't read the scriptures that say that scholars are the most heartless, just like my father, who has my mother, but still wants Mrs. Zhang."

"But the second uncle can guard the second aunt wholeheartedly."

Zhen Zhenzhu corrected Zhen Baozhu and said: "This is different from whether to study or not. It is true that not all scholars are good people, and not all businessmen are bad people. You can't generalize, just look at people's nature."

Zhen Baozhu nodded, "Sister is right, Sister, I have a stomachache, go back and drink some hot water before coming back."

Zhen Zhenzhu said: "There is hot water here, I'll pour it for you."

But when he looked up, Zhen Baozhu had already run away in a hurry.

Zhen Zhenzhu realized it later and hurriedly chased it out.

However, Zhen Baozhu trotted all the way, she didn't catch up too much, she only vaguely heard Baozhu's immature voice in the courtyard of Xinglinyuan, "Second aunt, sister just said that she doesn't like those people very much, sister likes scholars .”

For a moment, Zhen Zhenzhu felt embarrassed.

She turned away.

Zhen Baozhu said righteously: "Sister is so good, if you want to be matched with a top scholar, you can't be like my father, one mountain is as high as another."

Mrs. Zhou nodded heavily, then turned to Xie Chunxiao and said, "I never thought that Pearl would like the scholar's style."

Xie Chunxiao said: "Pearl is introverted, and she refuses to express her inner thoughts easily. Thanks to Baozhu, she asked. She is only a scholar, so it is not easy to find."

If it is an ordinary scholar, it is easy to find, but what the Zhen family is looking for is a son-in-law, so naturally they want to find a son-in-law who can get fame in the exam.

However, today's imperial examinations are difficult, and many people are in their middle age, and they have just been admitted to a scholar.

What's more, the main contacts of the Zhen family are businessmen.

Even though Mr. Zhen had achieved fame in the examination, at that time, Mr. Zhen, who had already passed the examination, because of his background as a merchant, many noble scholars did not want to have too much contact with him.

Those like Zhang Juren are also in the minority.

What's more, if Zhang Juren was born as a commoner, even if he was lucky enough to pass the Jinshi exam, there would be no one to help him in the court, and at most he would only be a county magistrate in a remote place.

Today is no better than when the new dynasty was established, there are talents everywhere.

A poor county magistrate's wife may not live as well as a merchant's wife, but she just has a better name.

"However," Xie Chunxiao said, "I entrust the princess to find out if there is anyone in the family in Qingzhou who likes to study. Besides, I also ask my mother to help find it."

Xie Chunxiao's work efficiency was extremely fast, and he went to find Princess Jiangling on the second day.

The princess is very enthusiastic about this. For a long time, she has been troubled by the old princess because she has no children, and she is busy dealing with the affairs of the palace every day. Now that she has a son, her daughter is also very capable and can share a lot of housework for her, making her healthier than before. A lot of leisure.

The concubine had never been a matchmaker before, so in order to be very novel, she immediately agreed and asked people to bring over the portraits of the children of the Qingzhou family.

At the beginning, people didn't know why, but after hints from the nuns beside the princess, they found out that the princess was looking after her husband-in-law for the eldest daughter of the Zhen family, and many people were tempted.

It is true that these people are from aristocratic families in Qingzhou, and the sons of the family must marry into the big family, but the sons of the family are not necessary.

The Zhen family is a merchant, but the advantage is that Master Zhen is a good businessman with a wealth of wealth, and the daughter of the Zhen family is famous for being virtuous and generous, and she has a princess as a matchmaker, so she is well-matched.

Princess Jiangling was attracted by one of them named "Jiangci".
