"Mother thinks the girl from the Lin family is very good. She is pretty and gentle, and she is a perfect match for you."
"Yeah, I also think Sister Lin is good. Big brother, please think about it carefully."
"The Shen family's daughter is also very good, especially proficient in calligraphy. She is virtuous and generous. Her family is simple, with parents and two younger brothers."
"Sister Shen takes good care of me, and I like her very much. Big brother, please think about it carefully."
"The Lu family girl is dignified and beautiful, quite talented, and well-versed in poetry and songs. You should be able to get along with Zhuo'er."
"Sister Lu is a kind person. Big brother, please think about it carefully."
Chu Yuan mentioned three good ladies in a row, but Yan Zhuo didn't react. When Chu Yuan was about to mention the fourth one, Yan Zhuo politely refused to listen.
"Mom, Cheng'er and I just got back and haven't had a good rest yet. Why don't we think about this another day?"
Before Chu Yuan could say anything, Yan Xi chuckled, "Brother, you'll have to consider this sooner or later, so why not do it sooner? I'm really looking forward to my sister-in-law coming home."
Yan Cheng also looked at Yan Zhuo jokingly, thinking that whether in modern times or in ancient times, parents always seemed to be keen on urging their children to get married.
This was especially true in ancient times. Before his eldest brother even came of age, his family had already started considering finding a wife for him.
Yan Luo, who was a smart kid, also said: "Brother, brother, others have sisters-in-law, I also want one, please marry one back home quickly!"
"Mother, I haven't accomplished anything yet, how can I get married so early?"
Seeing that his mother and siblings seemed to be very concerned about his lifelong affairs, Yan Zhuo pursed his lips and simply told the truth that he didn't want to get married.
"It's okay. You can get married first and then build a career. Our family doesn't care about that. Those girls I just mentioned... Forget it, you're right. You just came back and haven't done anything yet. We can talk about it later."
Chu Yuan wanted to talk more about the girl he liked, but seeing Yan Zhuo's unnatural expression, he changed his words, thinking that there was still some time and he couldn't rush him too much.
"Mom, I don't want to get married in the next few years."
Yan Zhuo said frankly that he hoped his mother would give up the idea of finding him a wife.
"If you don't get married, how can your sister look after someone else?"
Yan Xi was stunned when she saw the thing on her body. The sudden surprise made her eyes widen and she hurriedly pulled her mother's arm.
"Mom, why are you still talking about me? I'm so young, how can I get married?"
Chu Yuan tapped her nose lightly: "You are already thirteen this year, not young anymore. I am not asking you to get married now, I am just arranging a marriage for you first. You can't get married until you reach the age of marriage at least."
"Then why don't you wait until I'm 15 years old before meeting her?"
"Then it will be too late."
Chu Yuan shook her head. All the children were smart and it was rare to have them all together. For the first time, she expressed her and Yan Guangyi's concerns.
"The year after next is the talent show. If you don't get engaged soon, you'll have to participate in the talent show. You don't know who you'll be chosen for. Do you really want to participate in the talent show?"
Several people suddenly realized that there was a talent show.
Yan Cheng sat up straight and became serious. He saw the worry on Chu Yuan's face and knew that she didn't want Yan Xi to participate in the audition.
——Mother would say all this in front of them. I think she has already discussed with father not to let sister get involved in the muddy waters of the palace.
I also think about my little sister's character, who looks smart but is actually simple. I really feel that she is not suitable to marry into the royal family or the clan, as both are not easy to get along with.
If she really married in and something happened, their family's status would make it impossible for them to help her.
This was the first time Yan Xi considered the issue of a talent show, and she really didn't want to participate in one. She didn't want to be chosen by someone above her to marry.
She had never thought much about getting married, but now she asked herself what kind of person she wanted to marry. After thinking about it, she realized that she just wanted to marry an ordinary person who was good to her.
She doesn't need to be too smart, too hardworking, or too ambitious. With her father around, her husband won't dare bully her.
It would be best if the house is quiet, without parents-in-law, so that after marrying in, you won’t have to be oppressed every day.
Yan Xi calmed herself down and decided not to participate in the talent show, but she also didn't want to get engaged so early.
But if you don’t get engaged, you have to participate in the talent show. Why not get sick before the talent show?
No, if a beauty falls ill before the selection, her family will be held accountable.
Or enter the draft, but somehow manage to get undrafted?
This method has certain risks. If you fail to be selected, you will be in trouble if you are selected instead.
After much thought, the safest way is to get engaged early and escape the draft.
Yan Xi was a little discouraged and said sullenly, "Mom, the last talent show didn't happen. Will the talent show next year be held too?"
"The draft will definitely be held next year."
After hearing Chu Yuan say this with certainty, Yan Zhuo and Yan Cheng looked at each other from a distance, and both had ideas in their minds.
Yan Zhuo: "The princes are getting older and have reached the age to get married. The selection next year is likely to be very small. Given my personality, it is best not to participate in the selection. It is better to arrange a marriage for me as soon as possible."
The second person being pressured into marriage was unhappy, and he said angrily, hands on his hips, "Brother, please tell me in detail what my temper is like."
As Yan Xi spoke, her hand had already touched the whip at her waist, and her tone was full of threat.
Yan Zhuo felt threatened and smiled without saying anything.
Yan Cheng watched this scene and thought that his sister was not suitable for marrying into a wealthy family, as she would easily offend people because of her personality of touching the whip whenever she disagreed with something.
"Oh, mother forgot one thing. Princess Qingyang is going to hold a poetry gathering at a villa outside Beijing next month. She has sent invitations to many families. You guys can all go. Luo'er is still young, so forget it."
When Chu Yuan was about to finish speaking, she saw her youngest son's bright eyes and added one last sentence.
