Clear Wear and Lie to Win

Chapter 327 The Dowry
Zhang Tingyu and Qiu Wen's marriage has been settled, so they don't have to hide it anymore, sometimes it's okay to make an appointment to meet up.

The two would come out to meet from time to time, not many times, but both of them were quite satisfied. After all, they hadn't seen each other some time ago, and this situation was much better.

Mrs. Zhang made an agreement with the Hesheli family and set the marriage after Zhang Tingyu passed the imperial examination next year. Naturally, there will be various rituals during this period.

In fact, when Faka first found out that his daughter's marriage was settled, he was very confused for a moment. It has not been a year since his daughter came back to him!I'm going to get married next year, and it feels like a joke, and Faka is a little incapable of accepting it.

But this marriage was decided by the emperor, and he had to accept it. Besides, he had heard about Zhang Tingyu, and he was indeed a good candidate for a son-in-law.

Faka, who was forced to accept it, could only think of a way to put more thought into his daughter's dowry.

In a blink of an eye, it was the wedding date of Zhang Tingyu's elder brother Zhang Tingzan. Zhang Tingzan's wife was the daughter of an official of the Hanlin Academy. Her official position was not high, but her family was upright. Besides, Mrs. Zhang also hoped that the eldest daughter-in-law could take good care of the eldest son's life For daily life, there are not many other requirements.

So it doesn't matter to her even if the family is a little smaller, after all, she has seen the child, and Zhang Tingzan is satisfied with it, calm and lively, and being able to take good care of Zhang Tingzan, the young couple will not have nothing to say and be too dull.

Of course, Qiu Wen also attended Zhang Tingzan's wedding. She is now considered half Zhang's daughter-in-law, so it would be inappropriate not to go.

However, she and Zhang Tingyu did not have the chance to talk. Zhang Tingyu, as the younger brother of the groom's officer, naturally cannot be idle and busy entertaining guests. Although Qiu Wen's side is not her marriage, she is also the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, and it is not uncommon for people to make fun of her. .

The two just met and had a quick exchange of words, and then they couldn't talk to Zhang Tingyu until they left.

Zhang Tingzan's marriage is over, and the Chinese New Year is about to begin. Mrs. Zhang has had a very comfortable time this year. The eldest son has a wife, the second son has a marriage, and the youngest son is well-behaved and obedient. As a woman, Mrs. Zhang feels very contented up.

Before Bobo came back from Cangzhou, Zhang Tingyu also met with Bobo. The two talked about the training plan for the navy for next year.

In the past few years, Yinzhen's secret guards have searched for a lot of clues along Jinghai County. This country is indeed ambitious enough. It has already begun to think of ways to move the railway here. Although it has not caused any impact, those small actions It's really annoying.

Now the railway from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River has been preliminarily laid, and now the railway is being laid around the capital with the capital as the center. From the current point of view, the common people are happy to see the result.

How could the people have any opinion!
Although the railway was laid, it did not increase the taxation of the people, and it did not expropriate strong men. Where the people should be employed, they had to ask for money.

This kind of infrastructure construction has solved the "employment" problem of the people to a certain extent, and it has also allowed more people to earn more.

Zhang Tingyu calculated the time. At that time, he had almost finished the imperial examination, and he could go to Bobo to help him at that time. Bobo also had this intention, otherwise he would not have chosen the time after his imperial examination.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang didn't know that her son still wanted to go to the battlefield, or the battlefield at sea.

After Zhang Tingyu made an agreement with Bobo, he began to concentrate on studying. He is smart, but he is not a child prodigy. His current knowledge is more due to good teaching and hard work.

So in the face of next year's imperial examination, he can't say that he will be able to do it, so there is no harm in studying more.

This year passed in a blink of an eye. After the new year, Bobo went to Cangzhou to continue his military training. At the same time, he also started to get in touch with some government affairs. Even if he was not in the capital, Yinzhen would send him some memorials.

Bobo has always been very familiar with the situation in North Korea and China.

Zhang Tingyu has already put all his energy into studying, but Qiu Wen is a bit boring in the capital. Now there are trains, and the trains can go to Cangzhou a few years ago, and it doesn't take a day to go from the capital to Cangzhou.

Qiu Wen went to Cangzhou three times in between. After all, there is still a system that cannot be left unused.

Zhang Tingyu is going to take an exam recently, and the whole Zhang family has paid more attention to it. Zhang Tingyu himself is looking forward to it. After all, he will be able to get married after the exam. This is something he has been looking forward to for a long time.

The imperial examination system has been reformed, so there is no need to suffer so much during the exam. Zhang Tingyu feels that the exam will pass in the blink of an eye in a few days, and he feels that he is performing normally.

Zhang Ying felt relieved when he heard his words. Although he could not say that his son was taught by him, he was clear about his son's strengths, and his normal performance must be stable.

"Mother, why did you ask your son to come over?"

Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhang Tingyu and said with a smile, "You have finished your exam. Mom will tell you about your marriage."

When Zhang Tingyu heard that it was his own marriage, he immediately paid attention to it. He heard Mrs. Zhang start talking about some of the precautions. After all, it was a once-in-a-lifetime event, and he didn't want to have any regrets or imperfections.

Zhang Tingyu listened carefully, Madam Zhang was relieved, but at the same time, she also had the feeling that her son had grown up and would soon marry someone else's son. From now on, the woman he was closest to was no longer her mother.

This is not the first time that she felt this way when Zhang Tingzan got married, but this time the feeling was deeper. After all, she did feel different after the eldest son got married. Although she didn't do anything, the feeling was indeed a little subtle. .

Mrs. Zhang said everything that should be said, and then sighed: "In the blink of an eye, they all grow up, and you are going to get married."

The child is not married, anxious, eager to let the child have someone who knows the cold and the hot, but the child is married, it seems that there is a void in my heart, I feel that something is missing, it is not like digging the heart, but I feel a little sad in my heart, and I feel a little bit uncomfortable after all.

Although Zhang Tingyu didn't know why his mother was so emotional, she still said: "Mother, my son will always be your son."

Qiu Wen's dowry has been prepared. Faka is really willing to give up this daughter, and he is not stingy at all. Niu Yulu's family is a big family, and there are naturally many good things accumulated by the family for generations, so Qiu Wen's dowry is very considerable. .

The dowry prepared by Faka alone is enough to marry the prince’s elder brother, not to mention Qiu Wen’s own property in private, which is naturally counted as her dowry, but she thinks it’s too showy, so she The government has a record of this industry, but when posting the dowry, it is very vague about this industry.

But even so, the list of dowry is enough to envy many boudoir daughters in the capital, the dowry is really generous.

The Hesheli family always said that she was too generous when they went out to socialize. Of course, some people sarcastically ridiculed her. After all, this daughter was not her own, and such a dowry list could not be prepared by the Hesheli family.

It should be Faka's handwriting.

Naturally, Hesheli didn't care. Faka's more eccentric and excessive things had been done many years ago, and now these are nothing.

Besides, she has no children, and her dowry is so rich that she can't spend it in two lifetimes, and she doesn't covet Faka's things, even though they are good things.

Therefore, the Hesheli family was very calm about the sarcasm from the outside world, but Faka himself didn’t know if he had intentions. What a meal of envy.
