peasant girl allure

Chapter 677
Mrs. Liu acted very quickly, and sent the housekeeper to deliver a message to Mrs. Tan early the next morning.

Another day later, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Xiaoer's family went to Liu's house to visit relatives.

After the two families met each other, Liu naturally asked about Zhu Yan.

When Liu Lin saw that the three Xiaoer sisters were still there, Liu talked about these marriages, coughed softly, and reminded Liu that the discussion should be avoided by the children.

Seeing that her mother was so nervous, Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "Everything in my family is discussed by adults and children. I even asked Jing Rui about this in front of the whole family. You don't need to avoid talking to the children. The kids in my family are all precocious."

Liu Linshi: "..."

Precocious children: "..."

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Mrs. Tan smiled and said: "With the honesty of my sister and brother-in-law, Xiao'er and his brothers and sisters are not precocious, and their family must have been swallowed alive long ago!"

Liu: "..."

After hearing this, Liu Linshi nodded seriously.

The three Xiao'er sisters didn't want to stay here and listen to adults discussing these matters, so they all found an excuse and left.

The two of them wouldn't be so useless!This topic is too unpleasant, let's get down to business!

"Sister-in-law, you are relatively well-informed in the city. Have you found out about Miss Zhu's character?"

"I have met that child a few times. She has a good character and is informal. I heard that she has a business mind. When Master Zhu was in good health, he would always praise her outside! I know you too It's not the kind of person who only cares about family status. Since Jingrui is marrying a daughter-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and her character is the most important thing. I think that the girl is pretty good except for her family status. Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu are not the kind of people who follow others, they are also well-known benevolent people in the county, and wherever there is a disaster, there are names of their donations." As early as when receiving Liu's message, Tan asked a woman she knew well to inquire about.

People who were acquainted with Zhu's family also praised Zhu Yan endlessly.

Mrs. Liu nodded after hearing this: "I really don't pay much attention to family status."

"Zhu Yan's elder brother has no intention of doing business, he only wants to be an official career, and he was admitted to Juxian Academy this year. It will be a matter of time before he changes his family status. It's just that Mr. Zhu is not in good health and has been ill for a few years. I heard that he may not last long. Well, if Mr. Zhu can't make it through, Miss Zhu will have to observe mourning for three years. Miss Zhu will be 16 years old after this year, and Mrs. Zhu has recently been looking around to see if there is any suitable man in order not to delay her."

"It's nothing for a man to get married when he's nineteen or twenty. Most men from aristocratic families in the imperial capital get married after the age of 20. I heard from Doctor Luo that it's better for men to marry after the age of 20. But women marry at the age of 19." It's a bit late. I just want to arrange Rui'er's marriage earlier, and I'm not afraid of your jokes. Xiao'er will get married in a few months, and now there are still many things in the family that Xiao'er and Yun'er are helping to deal with Yes, if the two sisters were married, I would definitely not be able to do it alone. Now the family has a big business, and every year there are new shops and properties,..."

"Jingrui's two brothers are busy with their studies, and the child's father is also busy with court affairs. They don't have much time to help me. Xi'er has started to learn how to be a housekeeper, but she follows the needs of Nanny Rong every day. There are also many things to learn, and that girl has recently become crazy about medical skills and martial arts. If I don’t marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, and take Xiao’er to familiarize her with the situation at home before she gets married, I’m worried that I won’t be able to do it alone. .”

"You are a blessed one. You have enjoyed the blessings of your sons and daughters early on. You are so envious of me! Now, if you want to choose a daughter-in-law, you must choose a capable one, otherwise you will be too busy. That child Zhu Yan is a strong outsider. , and in order to let her elder brother concentrate on his studies, she has shouldered the family business in the past two years, so that her family business has not been eaten away by her second uncle." Tan couldn't figure it out. The two couples who were once honest, How did he give birth to a child who is better than the other.

"Hearing what you said, Miss Zhu is a capable person, so I can rest assured. Then you can help me go to Zhu's house to find out what's going on, and settle this matter as soon as possible. On the fifth day of the lunar new year, we have to go back to the imperial capital. .”

"So fast? This year is not over yet!"

"The child's father has taken more than a month's leave in total. It's the first month of the year, and there are many things to be busy in the yamen, so we can't delay any longer."

"After leaving, I don't know when we will meet again." Tan said reluctantly.

The two grew up together, and later became sisters-in-law. The relationship has always been very good, and it is normal to be reluctant.

"Jingrui and Xiao'er are married, and I can't spare you if your aunt doesn't show up! Mother, you will also get the imperial capital at that time! Otherwise, I won't obey."

"It will be there by then." Liu Linshi nodded in response.

"Zhiwen and Zhiwu are so competitive. This year, they will definitely be able to come back as a scholar. In the future, they will definitely be able to pass the Jinshi examination. Maybe they will be able to become officials in the imperial capital. Then your family will move to the imperial capital as well!"

"Let's talk about this later! Mother and grandfather don't really like living in the imperial capital, and I don't like it either. You know I have a hot temper, and I live in the imperial capital and I worry that I will offend the nobles every day!"

Mrs. Liu couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "When Zhiwen and Zhiwu come back after earning an imperial order for sister-in-law, sister-in-law will not be afraid! At that time, sister-in-law herself will be a noble person!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Tan laughed: "Your mouth is getting better and better at talking."

The three of them talked about other things together, and the atmosphere was very good for a while.

On the second day, Mrs. Tan went to Zhu's house to run around in person.

Shengpinghou wanted to marry his own family, and Mrs. Zhu spit tea in fright when she heard this.

When her daughter tried to save her family's life with such an idea before, she felt incredible and disagreed. She didn't want her daughter to joke about her lifelong happiness.

Later, when her daughter came back, she said that the matter was settled, and she didn't need to rely on marriage to build relationships, and County Lord Rui'an was willing to help solve it, so she felt relieved.

Now that the Marquis of Shengping really sent a matchmaker, Mrs. Zhu thought her daughter had lied to her, so she said, "Mrs. Liu, it was all a misunderstanding before. Our family does not sell girls to steal lives, nor does it sell girls for glory."

Selling a girl to steal a baby?

Mrs. Liu was a little dumbfounded, Mrs. Zhu must be out of her mind!She obviously came here to sniff out the news!When did you ask her to sell her daughter for glory? !
"Mrs. Zhu, have you misunderstood? I'm here to help my sister-in-law and ask if Miss Zhu is willing to marry the eldest son of the Marquis of Shengping. This is too serious to sell a daughter for glory!"

　Every day, I code to the last few hundred words, and I can't resist the crazy sleepiness.

　　I've been waiting for a long time, good night everyone.
