The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 74 The Little Bird's Peach Blossom (8)
Seeing his son speak clearly and logically, Qian Pengyang felt relieved, thinking that his son has grown up and knows how to manage contacts.You know, in officialdom, connections are more important than ability.

Qian Pengyang sighed: "It's not that father has never thought about marriage. But Master Mingjing said that your brother is not suitable for that girl, and Brother Qi from the Zhao family is already engaged to the Gu family. What else can I do?"

Qian Rui really wanted to mention himself, but thinking that even his mother would firmly oppose it, it would be even more difficult for his father to agree, so he suppressed his calculations for the time being, and suddenly thought: "By the way, Dad, Master Zhao still has another Is my nephew studying in the county school? It seems that his name is An Nan. It is said that he was personally enlightened by Mr. Zhao, and my son has also met him several times in the county school. He has good character and knowledge. I think it would be good to match the third sister. "

Qian Pengyang's heart was moved when he heard it. "Oh? How old is that kid?"

"It looks like she's about thirteen or fourteen years old."

"It's a little younger at this age. Besides, the eldest son of the Zhao family is just farming in the countryside, and his family status is too low..." Qian Pengyang pondered for a moment, carefully weighing Zhao Annan's weight.

Seeing his father like this, Qian Rui knew that there was still some hope for this matter, so he persuaded him: "With the current situation of the Zhao family, then Zhao Annan is naturally not good enough for the third sister. But the Zhao family will not soon Has she developed? The third sister is a concubine, and it is not easy to find a suitable marriage. If she is married to a small family like the Zhao family, the Zhao family will naturally have to worship her like a Bodhisattva. As long as Zhao Annan is really capable, In the future, maybe I can earn an imperial order for my third younger sister. As for the age, there is only a difference of one or two years, and my son thinks it is nothing. It is more important to have a person's character, and father can meet people in person, so it is better for my younger sister to check."

Qian Pengyang nodded, thought for a while and said, "Well, let's talk about it after this year's township test! If Master Zhao wins the exam, as long as Zhao Annan is not too bad, I will betroth Yinger to him."

Qian Rui talked about his father, and he was very happy.If this matter really happens, it will be justifiable for him to go to the Zhao family in the future.

In the evening, Qian Pengyang and Wen Shi talked about their plans, and Wen Shi had no objection, after all, Qian Ying was not her own.Since Qian Pengyang is the master, as long as it is not too outrageous, her aunt has no reason to object.But she hesitated all night about her son's thoughts and did not tell Qian Pengyang.

The county government was very close to the county school. That day Qian Pengyang went to inspect the county school, and by the way, he also learned about the situation of the eldest son Qian Rui in the county school.Master Qin, Master Fang, and Master Zhou from the county school all praised Qian Rui, saying that he would definitely be able to enter high school this time in the township examination.

Qian Pengyang was very happy. In fact, he knew exactly how his son was doing in school.After asking about his son's situation, Qian Pengyang suddenly changed the topic and asked again: "I heard that Master Zhao's family has a nephew who is also studying in the county school?"

"Yes, in class C, named An Nan, only 13 years old this year, young, but with a good background. It's rare to be gentle and humble, far-sighted, patient, and study hard. It's just that I have less experience and read more books. , It would be even better to go out and have a look. I guess I can try it in the next year." Master Fang is in charge of Class C and is very familiar with Zhao Annan.

Qian Pengyang nodded in satisfaction. As long as the child is promising, it doesn't matter if he was born a little bit.After all, Yinger of his family is also a concubine, and even if her family background is good, she can't look down on her. Instead of being a house fill or a concubine, it is better to find a poor scholar to be a husband and wife.

The next day, Qian Pengyang straight to the point and said to Zhao Shihua: "I heard that Sheng Lin's nephew who studies in the county is very motivated. I don't know if he is engaged? Bring me to see if you have time."

Zhao Shihua was taken aback for a moment, but then he came to his senses and hurriedly said, "That child Annan is the eldest son of the student's eldest brother. According to the student's knowledge, he should not be engaged. The adults don't know, but the child has been the student's master since birth. Bring him up. Teach him to speak when he was young, teach him to read and write at the age of three, and teach him to behave in the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that in the hearts of students, that child is no different from his own."

Qian Pengyang nodded.He can understand this kind of feeling very well. When he had no children, he often loved the children of his elder brother's family as his own.

Zhao Shihua then went on to say: "That child is really a good boy. He has been sensible and filial since he was a child, and he studies hard. He even saved the life of my family's sister Ran last fall. So when the student came to the county, he was also worried about him. I was delayed by my brother and sister-in-law in the countryside."

Qian Pengyang let out an unexpected "Oh", unexpectedly, Zhao Nan'an still had the grace to save that girl's life, so it would be even better.Thinking of this, Qian Pengyang sighed softly with a smile: "Poor parents in the world! Although Sheng Lin is an uncle, he treats his nephew as if he were his own. According to the news, it is estimated that the place will be changed next year.”

Zhao Shihua hurriedly said: "Congratulations, my lord, who is about to be promoted!"

Qian Pengyang waved his hands pretending to be modest and said, "They all work for the imperial court, and it's the same wherever they go. It's just that the third girl in my family is not too young. I want to book her marriage before returning to Beijing."

Zhao Shihua originally guessed that the lord was going to be a matchmaker for his nephew Annan, but no matter what, he didn't expect that the lord would marry his concubine daughter on purpose, so he couldn't help being startled.

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness!" Zhao Shihua got up and bowed deeply to Qian Pengyang, and said sincerely, "It's not that the students are boasting, my Brother Nan's character and knowledge are all good, it's just that in the family... it's too low , I am afraid that some girls who have wronged the adults..."

Qian Pengyang smiled lightly, stood up and patted Zhao Shihua on the shoulder and said, "If you look at it now, it's really not bad. But if he has an uncle who can raise people, it's not too bad."

Zhao Shihua immediately understood that as long as he passed the township examination, the adults would marry his daughter to his nephew Annan!

At this time, Zhao Shihua was only a scholar after all, so he couldn't restrain the excitement and gratitude in his heart.You know, the eldest brother's family is just an ordinary farmer's family, and he is just a scholar. If his nephew can marry an official daughter, what an honor it would be for the Zhao family?

When he got home at night, Zhao Shihua wrote a letter to his brother explaining the matter.He was worried that it would be a disaster if his incoherent sister-in-law made an appointment to marry Brother Nan early.
