Chapter 209

Every woman must be naturally interested in two things in her life, one is being a mother, and the other is being a matchmaker. Mrs. Ming is no exception.Luo Baisu was not very famous in Shangjing, even if he gained some fame later on, it was not a good reputation. As for Luo Tiandu, let alone, when he first came to Shangjing, he could break people's legs Well, the reputation of a vicious girl has been spread a long time ago, and the most direct consequence is that she is now 16 years old, and no one cares about her.

Luo Tian didn't think anything of it, even though she was mature enough mentally, her body was still a teenager, she wished to get married a few years later, but Fang was worried, when Luo Mingdu was at this age, there was still The matchmaker came, and it was Luo Tiandu's turn. Let alone the matchmaker came to the door on her own initiative, even if she took the initiative to mention it to others, others would not respond at all. Fang was in a hurry. If this continued, Luo Tian would be delayed at home .

So it was rare for Mrs. Ming to take the initiative to mention it today, and Fang was very happy, saying: "Oh, there are many things at home, and I didn't take care of her. It seems that I have reached my age."

Mrs. Ming picked up a handful of melon seeds in the porcelain basin and ate a few of them. Hearing Mrs. Fang's complaints, she smiled and said, "I have someone in mind. I don't know if Mrs. Luo and the young lady like it."

When Fang heard this, he immediately said: "What is despised, as long as the child has a good character, he will do his duty and make progress."

Luo Tian was a little speechless, wasn't it Luo Zijin's full moon wine?How did it get involved in her?Normally, at this time, it would be difficult for her to eavesdrop in the house. Seeing this, she had to find a reason to go out.

In the room, Mrs. Ming looked at Luo Tian and was too embarrassed to stay, so she couldn't help but teased: "Little lady has a thin skin, she can't stay here any longer."

Mrs. Fang was eager to find out which family she was talking about, so she urged: "Mrs. Ming, let me tell you whose family the child is. Alas, to tell you the truth, although the child in Xiaodu is a bit stubborn, but But he has a good heart, and he is most protective of his family, so there are no other bad things."

Mrs. Ming knew that she was anxious, so she didn't keep her secrets anymore, and said: "This man is a distant nephew of our Ming family, two years older than Xiaodu, he is also good at poetry, calligraphy, piano, chess and painting, and he knows everything. Those who will take part in the next spring's examination will only be in the first year when the elder in the family passed away, and as the eldest grandson, the child is very filial, and insisting that he has to keep filial piety for the elder at home for three years, which is a delay, but he is very suitable for Xiaodu."

Fang was a little overjoyed, Luo Tian has been neglected by many people, and she gradually had a thought in her heart that Luo Tian might not be able to find a good husband's family in Shangjing. Mrs. Ming came here to be a matchmaker for Luo's family at this time. It is sending charcoal in the snow.

"What is the child's name? Where does he live?" Fang asked again.

"This child lives in Renle County, Hualong Prefecture. His surname is Ming and his name is Yue. His ancestors were originally from the scholarly family. He was also a high official several generations ago. It's just that he has been a bit down in the past few years."

Speaking of this young gentleman of the Ming family, he is really talented and handsome. The family had already talked about a marriage. Unexpectedly, when he was 16 years old, something happened to his family. When I was celebrating my birthday at home, I drank a few more glasses. On the way back, I encountered a flood. I stayed outside for a few days. I didn’t think about it, and I got plague. I went back a few days. Scholars are all eloquent when it comes to poetry and books, but they are not very transparent about these vulgar things. Master Ming only spends his life in the study room, and Mrs. Ming is a daughter of the boudoir. He didn't know anything, and was squeezed out by his uncles in the clan, so the family was defeated.

But that child is promising, even though he is a bit down now, wait a few more years, the next Chunwei, get a Jinshi, and the Ming family will rise again.

"My nephew, I'm not boasting, his character and talent are first-class. Although the family is relatively poor, and he has to keep filial piety for two years, he still has a hundred acres of fertile land. As long as he survives these few years, he will be fine. If Mrs. Luo doesn't dislike it, I will ask someone to go back and talk about it."

But Fang thinks it is very good, their Luo family is not a well-known family, if the other party is really aristocratic, she is still worried that the two families are not compatible, and she is afraid that Luo Tian will marry and be looked down upon by her in-laws. This Ming Xiaolang is still filial In the body, even if the two families are engaged, they can keep Luo Tiandu at home for a few more years, and the Fang family somewhat agrees.

"I still say the same thing, as long as the child has a good character, it will be fine. Everything else is outside the body. It doesn't matter if you have it or not. Besides, Mrs. Ming knows what is going on in my family. I hope Mrs. Ming will not hide it. , to tell the truth."

Mrs. Ming felt that Fang was very honest and not picky, so she agreed to try her best to make things right.

Mrs. Liu was very envious when she heard it, a hundred acres of fertile land, in her eyes, having a hundred acres of fertile land is already considered a great wealth, and one mu of fertile land is worth ten to fourteen cents, not to mention a hundred acres of fertile land It also requires a thousand taels of silver, and a family with a net worth of a thousand taels of silver is also a very wealthy family, let alone a scholarly family.

For a moment, she felt that Fang's family was really lucky, marrying a good family, her own enjoyment is not counted, and the daughter she gave birth to also enjoys endless benefits.In comparison, her own daughter is too pitiful. At home, her father does not love her, and she is old enough to even have to curry favor with her aunt to get the dowry. .In her heart, she felt that Fang Min was no worse than Luo Tian, ​​and his temper was much better than Luo Tian's, but she didn't have a father who was an official, so when it came to marriage, she suffered a lot, so she wanted to fight for Fang Min as well. one time.

Thinking of this, she pushed Fang Min towards Mrs. Ming, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Ming will do good deeds to the end, so how about my daughter? If there is a suitable family, make her a good one too."

Fang Min blushed, lowered her head and said nothing.

No matter how ignorant Fang was, she felt that Liu's behavior was too rude, and her face immediately turned a little ugly.Jane is very clever, although she felt that Liu's actions were a bit embarrassing, she quickly changed the subject and said: "Oh, look at us, there are still young ladies in this room, so you should be more careful when you speak, don't make them laugh gone."

Mrs. Ming also came to her senses, nodded and said: "Exactly, I am so happy today, I should be punished."

The other wives also agreed one after another, pulled Fang Min to praise him a few more words, and then changed the topic to the newborn, which eased the embarrassment.

Fang Min blushed with embarrassment, and was unwilling to stay in the house any longer, so he found an excuse and hurried out.

Looking at Fang Min's ashamed and ashamed look, Luo Tian couldn't help but sighed.There is nothing wrong with Liu's eagerness to find a good family for Fang Min, but the method is wrong. What she did today will only make others despise Fang Min even more.

Knowing the reason, Xiang Lan said, "There's nothing to worry about. My uncle and madam want Mrs. Min to marry into an official's family. To be honest, with Mrs. Min's family background, there are neither rich furniture nor Without a father or brother to rely on, it is really difficult to marry into an official family, it is better to find an ordinary farmer and live an honest life."

She has stayed in Beijing for a long time, and she knows that the richer the person, the more snobbish they are. When they marry a daughter-in-law, they either look at the daughter-in-law's worth, a good dowry, and the two generations of the adoptive husband's family have it; Well, like Qi Jin, the Yue family is an official, so they can support their own family; no matter how bad it is, they should marry a good-looking, capable, capable, and sociable man.Fang Min didn't meet these points, but Liu Shi was eager to break into the circle of officials and women, which was really too difficult.

Luo Tiandu was actually not too worried about these things. No matter what, Fang Min's affairs were taken care of by Mrs. Liu. At most, she just put on a dowry. What worries her is that now Mrs. Fang is planning to marry her with great fanfare. And according to Fang's meaning, he is very satisfied.

But, she really doesn't want to, especially this time Mrs. Ming's candidate is still a scholar.

She has never had much affection for scholars.In her eyes, most of the scholars in this world, except her father, are ungrateful and trustworthy people.Those poor scholars, relying on the fact that they have read the books of sages for several years, do not work hard, do not distinguish grains, live only in books all day long, do not produce, and pay off their debts. They are really not good candidates for marriage .Not to mention, her second uncle Luo Baihan is the best example, and most of Luo Baihan's classmates and friends also have such virtues. Wang Xiucai, she heard that later that Wang Xiucai was selected as a candidate, so he married several concubines and kept them at home. His food, clothing, and expenses were all dependent on the Shen family, and he had to spend on the Shen family's money. Yinzi raised concubines, Luo Tian really hated such behavior, not to mention what Qi Jin did to Luo Mingdu.

However, Mrs. Ming's words today can be regarded as a wake-up call to her. She cannot stay in the Luo family forever. One day, she will marry from the Luo family. What if she wasn't at home watching?In the past, she could convince herself that she would stay at home in the future. If she really wanted to get married, she would find an honest man, recruit him into the family, and let Luo Baisu and his wife take care of them. Now that Luo Zijin was born, she wanted to stay It's also unrealistic at home, and sooner or later you'll get married.

But who can she marry!

Luo Tian was depressed.

According to Fang's intentions, she must choose someone of the right family. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy is still a minor in her heart. She only treats her as a junior and loves her. How can she have any beautiful ideas? , I really can’t go through that mouth.The older ones, in this age when everyone gets married early and have children early, she can see it, and get married early, maybe the children can be soy sauce everywhere.

What a worry!
