The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 174: Elder Brother Wins the Examination, 3rd Prince Zhang Jing

Chapter 174
He Zhiyan thinks highly of himself, and always feels that all women in the world are ignorant and shallow, even the daughters of local prominent families, he doesn't like any of them, let alone that vulgar and ignorant village girl?He rushed to his mother's side in a hurry, wanting to discuss with his mother how to withdraw the marriage, and happened to meet his elder brother He Zhiqian on the way.

He Zhiqian asked with concern: "Second brother, I heard that the people my mother sent to visit Uncle Zhao's house have returned. Are the Zhao family's aunt and Zhao family's younger sister all right? I haven't seen the Gu family come over these years. Let the two of us It's not convenient to pass on news from family to family. It's strange to say, why did the Gu family suddenly give up the business of Yongchang Mansion?"

He Zhiyan said angrily: "Okay? What's the best? That girl has no one to teach her, she is just a vulgar village girl now! Village girl, do you understand? Village girl, you don't understand anything, you can't read or read, you can't follow me!" Talking about poetry, playing the piano, and painting, wrapping my hair with a piece of floral cloth on my head, being able to move two stools at the same time, thinking about the acres of land below the mountain all day long, how much money I have at home, what to eat today... oh my god , How can I marry such a woman? What is wrong with me, my father actually booked me such an unreliable marriage. "

"Second brother, how can you say that?" He Zhiqian frowned and said, "Uncle Zhao passed away, and the Zhao family's foundation is weak. I heard that the Zhao family's aunt was weak, so the Zhao family's younger sister had no choice but to take care of the family. In order to survive, Naturally, you have to worry about the harvest of the fields at home, and naturally you have to plan carefully to live. The more you work, the stronger your strength... Besides, how can you complain about the marriage that your father made for you?"

He Zhiyan said unconvinced: "You know how to appreciate the village girl, but I can't. Big brother, you just stand and talk without backache, and uncle ordered you a girl from Dugu's family. Of course you have nothing to say." Dugu, but when The daughters of the Chaohou family and the Dugu family are all talented and beautiful, but they are extremely noble, and ordinary families can't reach them.

He Zhiqian really wanted to say that if we change, I don't mind marrying a village girl.A village girl who is ignorant can be taught slowly, but it is better than a lady from a famous family who has a lot of rules, a lot of hypocrisy, and looks down on others.But marriage is not a child's play, he can't say that.

He Zhiyan snorted coldly, ignored his eldest brother, and went straight to his mother to cry.

"Mother, son, don't marry a village girl, you can think of a way for me. Why can my eldest brother marry a noble girl, but I have to marry a village girl? I have heard Shiqi and Birou say that the village girl It's so vulgar, even the rough girls in my yard can't compare. Mother, how can such a person be worthy of your son?"

Wu said with a headache: "At the beginning I didn't agree with this marriage, but this marriage was ordered for you by your father, if you want to make trouble with him!"

He Zhiyan had always been afraid of Lao Tzu, but he didn't dare to make trouble in front of He Minglang, so he could only make trouble with his mother.

Mrs. Wu had no choice but to perfunctory him and said, "Mother tried her best to find a solution for you, but if the one over there refuses to divorce the engagement, what can we do? Speaking of which, the Zhao family is really ignorant, knowing that Your daughter is no longer good enough for you, and she still insists on refusing to divorce. That's right, people see your father as an official, see our He family's great career, and know that you are talented. They managed to get such a good marriage, why? Maybe back?"

"Father is really, why do you swore to such a family, and even compensated your son? Mother, can you talk to dad? Dad can't be too partial." He Zhiyan only dared to complain here at Wu Shi , but dare not in front of He Minglang.

It's not that Wu Shi didn't show her words in front of He Minglang, but He Minglang reprimanded her.Wu also didn't understand He Minglang's point of view.Over the years, he didn't write a few letters to the Zhao family. He asked her to write and send things over, which showed that he didn't value the Zhao family's marriage, so she simply didn't let anyone go.But once he mentioned the divorce or something, he would get angry and scold her for being short-sighted.

Wu Shi didn't understand, He Minglang never told anyone.He didn't dare to withdraw from this marriage because the emperor had mentioned his brother-in-law to him before he left Beijing to take office.He didn't know if the emperor had forgotten his righteous brother after a few years, but he couldn't take the risk.Brother Qi has already been selected as a scholar now, and it is uncertain when he will be able to be selected. In the future, it is very possible to be a Jinshi. The emperor will most likely think of his righteous brother when he sees him. If he retires, his official career will come to an end.

Moreover, although the adopted brother is gone, the Zhao family may still prosper.Didn't the righteous brother's nephew win the exam?With Qian Pengyang as his backer, he should be able to have a good way out if he becomes a Jinshi in the future.Qian Pengyang is Li Xiang's favorite student. The eldest son of the Qian family married a girl from the Li family. It is said that he has made a lot of military exploits at the border in the past few years, and now he has been promoted to the sixth-rank guerrilla general.His bravery and reputation in the army are second only to the third prince and the sixth son of the Dugu family.

Another one, but he looked pretty good at that girl when she was young.People say that three years old is old, although it is not absolute, but the intelligence and stability of the five-year-old sister Ran are really amazing.It is said that that girl is also supporting the family now.Leaving aside his family background, he felt that Sister Ran was better than those prostitutes from famous families.

In the middle of the first lunar month, He Minglang received a letter from his hometown. When he opened it, he actually scolded him for treachery.Only then did he know that the Wu family secretly asked people to go to the Zhao family to withdraw their marriage behind his back last year, and said a lot of ugly things, which caused Zhao Anqi to go directly to Jiangyang, pretending that the Zhao family had voluntarily withdrawn their marriage. The appearance made the two old people feel guilty and almost ashamed.Therefore, I wrote a letter to scold him.

He Minglang was very wronged, so he naturally wanted to call Wu and his son to scold him after returning to his room.

Wu thought it was an opportunity, so she called several family members who had gone to Zhao's house, and asked them to tell He Minglang exactly what they had seen and heard.The implication is self-evident: this is the good wife you chose for your son!Listen to that vulgar look!
When He Minglang heard Wu Liu's family talk about sister Ran's actions, expressions and words, he knew that the girl might really want to withdraw from the marriage.Thinking of this, he had no choice but to think highly of this girl's courage.Because he hadn't had much contact with him in these years, she was able to ignore the He family's family background and resolutely resigned in a way of self-defilement. This kind of determination and confidence is not easy for a 12-year-old girl!
