Chapter 2 - 2. The Newly Married Disturbance
Seeing Erya Tian's quick work, Nanny Zhou was even more satisfied: "Erya, work hard. In two days, the wedding of Master Zheng Si and Miss Wu's family will be held in the mansion. After the wedding is over, Zheng It’s time for the master to reward our servants. In addition to wages, you can also get rewards. At that time, I will pack the leftover chicken, duck and fish from the kitchen for you to take back, so that your family can also eat meat.”

Tian Erya was even happier: "Thank you Nanny Zhou, thanks to you and Aunt Liu, I can find such a good job."

Mother Zhou smiled all over her face: "You girl is quite good at talking. I heard from Matchmaker Liu that your family escaped from the north. There is no room in the house, and there is no room. You just rely on the iron stove to make some sickle iron. It's not easy to have a living. After the fourth young master's marriage is over, I will plead with the housekeeper and try to keep you as a maid. Here, you can have enough food every day, and you can also eat some meat , and get a fixed salary every month.”

"Thank you Nanny Zhou." Tian Erya was grateful. For her, being able to eat enough every day is the greatest happiness.She worked harder.

wedding day.

In the Zheng family compound, red lanterns were hung high, and people's voices were boiling.Tables and banquets were set up in the courtyard, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere.

The fourth young master of the Zheng family, Yuan Sheng, was wearing a groom's big red robe and a big red flower on his chest. Accompanied by his second elder brother Yuan Li and third elder brother Yuan Fei, he toasted at the table. Inner joy.

An old man who has just been toasted is holding his beard: "The fourth young master of the Zheng family is really extraordinary, and he is also a good reader. If it weren't for the fact that he injured his right arm two years ago when he was saving someone before the scientific examination, he couldn't write. , maybe now he is a Juren. However, with his talent, it will be a matter of time for him to be admitted to the imperial examination."

The people next to him echoed: "Who says it's not? Master Zheng Si is so talented, and the teachers in the school often praise his articles! If it weren't for this, how could Yuanwai Wu, who has eyes above the top, marry his daughter to him?" Woolen cloth!"

"I heard that Miss Wu's family is also beautiful?"

"Yes, Miss Wu is very beautiful. I was lucky enough to meet her once before, and her appearance is really shy and beautiful. Fourth Young Master Zheng and her are really a match made in heaven."

Zheng Zongde, the head of the Zheng family, was delighted to hear the guests praising his son and daughter-in-law, and whispered to the second aunt next to him who was twisting her handkerchief: "Yu Xin, look, Yuan Sheng is so happy. Miss Jia is very satisfied. You should be happy for him too!"

"I'm happy." The second aunt gritted her teeth. When the guests came to toast, Zheng Zongde and the wife of the main house stood up to thank them.

Seeing this, Zheng Zongde quietly talked to the visitor, and walked over quietly while no one was paying attention: "Why are you crying again? Today is a good day for Yuansheng, don't spoil everyone's happiness."

The second aunt sobbed: "I'm wronged! My own son got married, but I, a mother, can't just sit on the throne and accept the kneeling of my son and daughter-in-law. Is there such a poor mother like me in the world?"

Zheng Zongde supported her by the shoulders: "Yu Xin, there is nothing you can do about it. You are not the wife of the main house, so naturally you can't sit in the main seat. Don't worry, the new daughter-in-law, Ms. Wu's family, is virtuous, intelligent and sensible, and she will definitely be filial to her. You dear mother-in-law."

The second aunt turned around: "I know that I was born as a dowry maid of your former wife, and I am not worthy of being the wife of Zheng Fang in your Zheng family. But I just want to sit in the honorable seat and listen to my son on the day my son gets married. My daughter-in-law calls me mother..."

Zheng Zongde sighed in a low voice: "If Yuan Sheng married a daughter-in-law from an ordinary family, I might be able to fulfill your wish. However, the marriage of the Wu family is a high-profile one. The Wu family has more wealth than ours. Miss Wu's eldest brother He is also a member of the Wu Ju family, and now the governor is on duty. If our family Yuan Sheng was not appreciated by Wu Yuanwai, how could we get into this marriage? You are Yuan Sheng's mother, and you should think more about his future. Don't be picky."

The second aunt wiped her tears: "I know that Yuan Sheng will have to rely on his uncle and father-in-law to support him, but I also want to stand in front of people in a beautiful manner!"

Zheng Zongde knew that she loved vanity the most, so he coaxed: "When Yuan Sheng wins the imperial examination, he will become a Jinshi and have your glory."

"Will I have a good time? Can my mother who was born as a concubine call him a son in public?"

"Yu Xin, I know that I have wronged you all these years. Your own son is right in front of you, and you dare not recognize him in front of outsiders..."

The second aunt wiped tears: "Forget it? What's the use of saying this, I know you are already in a difficult situation. Yuan Sheng is fostered under the name of your former wife, which is of great benefit to Yuan Sheng. Yuan Sheng will be promising in the future. It will only benefit your former wife and your new wife."

Zheng Zongde held her hand: "I guarantee that in the future, Yuan Shengzhong will be promoted to Jinshi, and you will be the real and powerful mistress of the Zheng family. You know, the lady in the house I married is just a decoration, and I really care about it." The only person is you, and your days of happiness are behind."

There was a smile on Second Auntie's mouth, her goal was achieved, and she no longer entangled, coquettishly: "Yuan Sheng is the same. Now my father-in-law is three points shorter in front of my father-in-law. Otherwise, I would be Juren's mother anyway, and I could sit upright in the hall."

"Don't mention the past, it will be a matter of time before he wins the exam. Well, hurry up and wipe away your tears, go back to the banquet, and don't let anyone see the joke." He coaxed Second Aunt to go back.

This was just a small episode of the wedding, the groom Zheng Yuansheng didn't know it, he was immersed in the happiness of being able to marry the eldest lady of the Wu family, and he would not refuse the toast.

Yuan Li, the eldest son of the Zheng family, said to his third younger brother Yuan Fei: "It seems that the fourth son of our family is so happy, the smile on the corner of his mouth has never gone down."

Zheng Yuanfei didn't take it seriously: "Miss Wu is beautiful, well-educated, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She is the object of admiration by all the men in the city. The fourth son is certainly satisfied to marry her. If I can marry such a wife, I will be happier than him."

Zheng Yuanli reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense." He whispered to the fourth younger brother: "Don't drink too much, and you will enter the bridal chamber later. Tonight is your wedding night. Spring night is worth a thousand dollars, and Ms. Wu is still waiting in the new house." And you!"

When Zheng Yuansheng heard that Ms. Wu was waiting for him, the pores on his body stretched out, and he began to drink more regularly. He wished he could enter the bridal chamber at dark and meet his bride, Ms. Wu.

In the new house.

The bride, Wu Jingshu, tore off the red hijab, and anxiously asked the close maid: "Shaoyao, have you chosen a suitable candidate? Someone must replace me, otherwise, I'm afraid that I will really become a real couple with the fourth young master of the Zheng family!"

Shao Yao comforted her: "Miss, don't worry, Nanny Song has already picked the right candidate, and she will be here soon."

Wu Jingshu was worried: "I thought about it again and again, and I think it's better to find someone else to replace me. My father and mother have been ashamed by my escape from marriage. I can no longer let people say that my parents planned all this behind the scenes and implicated them. .”

"Miss, don't worry! Nanny Song knows it well." As soon as she finished speaking, Nanny Song opened the door and came in, followed by a woman in coarse clothes.

Tian Erya stood by the door and looked at the room stupidly.Nanny Zhou asked her to follow Nanny Song, but why did Nanny Song bring her into the bride's wedding room?
Seeing her dumbfounded look, Wu Jingshu asked Nanny Song in a low voice, "Nurse, is she okay?"

Nanny Song replied in a low voice: "No problem. I've inquired about it. This is a country girl who fled from the north. She doesn't know anything about the situation of the Wu family. She has no relatives here. Even if things come to light, she can use a few taels of silver Sending it away will not cause trouble to the Zheng and Wu families."

"Will she agree to spend the night in the wedding room instead of me?" Wu Jingshu was still very worried. Unmarried women value their innocence and reputation more than their lives, so they are unlikely to agree to such a thing.

"I can't help her!"
