After the two previous dumbfounded actions, it became known to everyone that Zhu would not do it again. She did not even let her mother-in-law, Mrs. Chen, know about it. She agreed to the Wei family's affairs without hesitation.
After hearing Zhu's words, matchmaker Xun smiled and said, "Mrs. Zhao is a straightforward person. I will go back and report to the Wei family now."
Zhu nodded. She had always been a fierce and vigorous person. When she was young, her ancestors had no reputation at all. Although her parents were good to her, they were partial to her brothers. Moreover, the family was in financial difficulty. She bought her dowry by herself. When others mentioned her, they thought her family was wealthy and she only married into the fourth room of the family when she was older. No one knew that she was saving a large dowry for herself.
Fortunately, she had this dowry and the fourth branch had fallen into poverty, so she was able to marry into this aristocratic family.
Yang Zhaosheng was quite handsome and tall, and the son of an aristocratic family, which fully met her requirements for a son-in-law. If it weren't for the fourth wife's mistake, she would not have been able to marry into the family.
It is the same now. The Wei family is indeed a good candidate. No matter what the situation is, if the Wei family proposes to their daughter, she will agree first. If they are really interested, the Wei family will proceed to the next step as soon as possible and let the elders of the Wei family come to discuss the marriage.
Anyway, my daughter has just reached the age of marriage. If she stays at home for two or three years, the matter will fade away and perhaps a good family will come and find her.
Zhu even thought that when King Han became the crown prince, her husband might be able to make further progress. Zhu was not worried about Queen Han because she was a magnanimous woman and would not be as petty as a scorpion.
She could attack or defend, and when she thought of this, she talked to Yurong first.
At this time, Yurong was leaning on the bed reading a book. In fact, her room had the most books. It was strange to say that Zhu's family saved the dowry themselves and was known as the female Tao Zhu in the clan, but they did not let their daughters touch pornographic things. Therefore, although Yurong was influenced by them, she spent most of her time reading, writing and doing needlework.
"Sister Rong..."
Yurong put down the book and called Zhu, "Mother."
Zhu looked a little strange, but she still said, "Sister Rong, the Wei family has come to propose marriage, and I have tentatively agreed."
"Wei family? But Wei Xuanning?" Yurong stood up suddenly.
Hearing that her daughter actually knew this, Zhu nodded hurriedly, "Yes, but I asked the matchmaker, and Wei Xuanning is more than eight feet tall..."
Yurong felt sad and amused at the same time. Her mother always remembered her words, but Wei Xuanning proposed marriage. Perhaps she had some clues since the day she entered the palace and Concubine Wei looked at her in such a curious way.
If it was Wei Xuanning, this would probably be the reason why both Queen Shen and Princess Han acquiesced.
But she also agreed.
Unless there were people like her in her previous life who were devoted to promoting the imperial examination, after Li Xun's death, children from poor families would be promoted, so that they could be farmers in the morning and enter the emperor's palace in the evening. Now, between the Nine-Rank System and the imperial examination system, people still put family background first, and even books were mostly monopolized by aristocratic families.
But in this life, she is not in a position to interfere in other people's affairs. If she wants to live a better life, marrying Wei Xuanning is definitely a good choice. Moreover, unlike those strange stories written by others, she will treat her rebirth as a new life. She will not think that everything is the same as her previous life and try to avoid anything by taking shortcuts.
Even without Zhang the butcher, people still wouldn't eat hairy pigs.
Yurong was relieved. She was important, but she was also following the trend. Even without her, perhaps the emperor could have promoted it. Those who can do it can do it.
As a woman, it is better to marry into such a wealthy family, especially Wei Xuanning. Well, these are all external factors. The most important thing is that Xuanning acted in a way that not only made his wife unbearable, but even his stepmother drooled over him. Later, the stepmother's obsessed look made other people in the Wei family feel that it was against customs, and they were afraid that she would destroy their family, so they drowned her in a pond.
A ready-made great man, isn't he?
As soon as Yurong nodded, Zhu said happily, "That's good, that's good."
She also told her daughter, "We have to keep it a secret this time. We can't just think about it and not blow it up, otherwise I will lose face. Your father only comes back once every ten days or a month. He comes back at night and leaves during the day. I can't meet anyone in the family. I am miserable. I am the one who interacts with the family. I am being bullied openly and secretly, especially the third and fifth wives. Everyone is angry with me."
Zhu wiped her face and said, "Well, you should just have fun at home, embroider less and be careful. I'm going to go out for a while."
"Where are you going? I thought you wanted to go out."
"I'm going to patrol the shop, what are you going to do?"
Yurong hugged Zhu and said, "Mom, I want to go too." She knew that Zhu had several shops, restaurants, and places to collect rent. She was stuck at home every day and had wanted to go out for a long time.
Zhu waved her hands quickly: "Don't do that, I don't want to go out and be watched by a large group of people."
Good friends, every time their daughter went out, they forgot what they were doing and just looked at her. But seeing her daughter's disappointment, she promised: "Wait for your brother to come back and let him take you to the street. Don't worry, I will bring you some delicious food."
"Okay..." Yurong was not very happy.
Zhu smiled and said, "When you get married, let your husband accompany you to the street."
Since her daughter is getting married, she also needs to make good money.
But it is said that after Xun the matchmaker returned from Zhu's place, she went to the main house of the Wei family. Old Madam Wei had eaten a lot of food at noon, and was walking slowly in the garden holding the hand of a maid.
Second Madam Chen smiled and brought Matchmaker Xun over, "Madam, Matchmaker Xun is here."
"Oh, what does Yang Zhao's wife Zhu say?" Old Madam Wei had already concluded in her heart that Zhu would definitely agree.
Xun the matchmaker immediately flattered: "With our eldest son going to ask for marriage like this, who would not agree?"
"Okay, second brother, I'll leave this matter to you, get it done as soon as possible." Old Madam Wei's face was gloomy for a moment. Princess Xin'an was really like a psoriasis. If it weren't for her, how could her family marry a girl from a side branch with a bad reputation. They had to quickly settle the marriage, so that someone worse wouldn't be forced in when the time came.
Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry."
Although it was hasty, Madam Wei still said, "You go to open the warehouse, but you can't treat the girl unfairly." If Princess Xin'an hadn't intervened, this girl would have been the concubine of Prince Jiangxia. Her dissatisfaction could change the fate of so many people.
Chen hurriedly responded.
"Xuan Ning is going too."
Mrs. Chen was surprised: "Does Xuan Ning want to go too? Is he willing? I am not sure."
Madam Wei said angrily, "He just cheated me out of seven thousand taels and changed into a new outfit, looking like a phoenix, and the local people still give him a gift? Forget it, it's hard to explain in a short time. He dare not not go, just say I said so. If he doesn't go, let him pay back the money."
