The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 116 I beg you to have a small portrait (5)
He talked all kinds of things and finally got Master Yao to agree to buy it with Zhao's family money.However, Master Yao kept the price very low.Originally, such fertile land cost more than ten taels of silver per mu, but he only charged five taels of silver per mu. Zhao Shihua almost took out all his family's savings, and only bought one hundred mu of land.Because he felt bad, Zhao Shihua still accepted Master Yao's [-] mu of land and put it under his own name, so he could save Master Yao some money.

He Minglang was quite relieved to see Zhao Shihua being so cautious in doing things, not greedy for too much.He thought to himself, if he changed places, he probably couldn't be as rational as Zhao Shihua.

After staying in Wangjia Village for five days, He Minglang was about to go home, and Zhao Shihua took his family back to the county. After all, Annan and Anqi still had to study!
Before he left, He Minglang asked Zhao Shihua if he would go to the capital to participate in the examination next year.

Zhao Shihua shook his head, saying that he had to study classics and history carefully, and planned to go to the capital for reference in the next subject.He Minglang remembered Lin Xuezheng's words, and didn't persuade him any more.He thought, instead of barely getting on the list next year and being outside the top two, it is better to study hard for three years, and then become a blockbuster and soar into the sky.

Back in the county, because of the marriage between the Qian family and the Zhao family, the two families often communicated, but An Ran was kept in the room by her mother and was not allowed to go out. There was also a little girl, Yu Lan, who was two years older than her. I haven't seen Qian Rui, nor have I received anything from him.

Not long after Zhao Shihua returned to the county seat, news came from his hometown that the marriage of Wang's daughter-in-law and her cousin An Shu had been settled.

Wang successfully gave birth to a daughter named Anhui on the fifth day of October.Because she was about to marry a daughter-in-law in the twelfth lunar month, Wang was anxious to finalize the marriage of her daughter Anshu.She considered again and again, and finally agreed to the merchant's son, whose surname is Xu, first name Teng, and style name Xiangyun.Probably because Gu Wanniang's natal family is rich, she has been jealous for so many years, and now she has finally relied on the rich in-laws, so she no longer has to envy Gu Wanniang.

When Zhao Shihua got the news and asked Brother Nan about Xu Xiangyun's situation in the county school, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.According to Annan, Xu Xiangyun is smart and knows how to specialize, but he is not practical in his studies. If he is not expected to pass the imperial examination, he will probably go back to take charge of the family business and start a business.But with their Zhao family's current family background, there is really no need to marry a merchant.

It's a pity that he is just an uncle, what can he do if his parents decide on something?
Annan found out, and couldn't help worrying about her sister, and the Qian family was also quite dissatisfied when they found out.You must know that in ancient times, relatives of relatives were also relatives after turning a corner.

The twelfth lunar month is coming soon.

On the third day of junior high school, the Qian family sent the bride's dowry to the new house in Zhao's old house.A total of 32 liters of dowry, such as beds, coffee tables, chairs, stools, wardrobes, dressing tables, children and grandchildren buckets and other furniture are all made of huanghuali. Six sets of finished clothes are added every season, plus six pieces of high-quality leather and brand new materials. There are more than 500 horses, and four sets of gold, silver, jewelry, head and face jewelry, and so on.It is estimated that it will cost [-] taels of silver to buy it, and people are dazzled by seeing it, and Wang is so happy that he can't smile from ear to ear.

The villagers all came to watch the excitement, seeing so many dowries, they couldn't help being envious, they complimented and envied Wang so much that the corners of Wang's mouth almost turned up to the sky.

Early in the morning on the sixth day, Zhao Annan sent a sedan chair directly from his second uncle's house in the county to pick up the bride at Qian's mansion, and then still took a carriage to Wangjiacun.

By the time Zhao Annan brought the bride into the wedding hall, it was almost dark, but it was a good time to worship.

After worshiping Tiandi's parents and husband and wife, Qian Ying was sent to the bridal chamber.

Although Qian Ying didn't like her father finding a young husband for her, she wasn't too disgusted.Just like what my aunt said, the best way out for her as a concubine is to marry a poor student. As long as her husband is successful in the future, her good life will come.

In fact, Qian Ying also thought so, but she always felt a little uncomfortable when she thought that her husband was younger than herself, and it would take two years for them to consummate their marriage.However, I heard that my husband is good at learning, and even my brother praised him, and I am full of expectations for my husband.

An Ran had returned to her hometown a few days earlier and was waiting for her eldest cousin's wedding wine. The little aunt came back to help and brought Xiuqin here, so the children could play together.Several children went to see the bride secretly, and found that the sister-in-law (cousin-in-law) was good-looking and kind, so they couldn't help but feel happy for the eldest cousin.

Three days after the wedding, Annan took his newly married daughter-in-law back to her natal home.An Ran's family did not go back to the county seat, as the end of the year was approaching, and they all had to spend the New Year in their hometown.

After discussing with Zhao Shihua, Gu Wanniang sent people out one after another the annual gifts prepared for each family in the county and He's family in Jiangyang. At the same time, she also received the annual gifts from each family one after another.

Now, the Gu family treats the Zhao family even better, and the New Year gift is particularly generous.It is said that there are countless girls who want to marry Gu Shengwu now, but Gu Shengwu doesn't like any of them, saying that there is no rush, and he will wait for his brother-in-law to become a Jinshi before starting a family.

Zhao's family was originally separated, but because Zhao Shihua was elected and used money to build such a spacious house, they lived together again, but the family's expenses were all Zhao Shihua's expenses.But Zhao Shirong and Zhao Shifu are still in charge of the field affairs.Of course, they seldom go to the fields in person now, and just hire short-term laborers when the farming season is busy.

It was the end of the year in a blink of an eye, and after the twenty-four seals, Qian Pengyang took his family and set off for Beijing, and the newly appointed county magistrate would not come until the new year.

Chinese New Year is a festival of reunion, not only for the common people, but also for the royal family.

After the new year, the third prince will be 16 years old. Empress Li graciously discussed with the emperor whether it is time to give the third prince a concubine.

Yang Hao thought for a while, and said: "Concubine Na is not in a hurry, wait for two years. Let her point out a few maids to serve her first!"

The queen agreed with a smile, and immediately sent the four maids she had prepared to the third prince's mansion.

Yang Yan accepted the Queen's order and entered the palace to thank her.

The empress looked kindly, and casually said: "I originally told the emperor that you are not young anymore, and it's time to accept a concubine, but your father said that you have to wait for another two years. It shows that your father is thinking about it." I value you, so I can rest assured that you choose a good one. Originally, I wanted to speak to the emperor, but there is a girl from our Li family who is waiting for the emperor to point out a good marriage!"
