Chapter 387: Marriage
Qin Huiyin had just finished breakfast and was considering whether to go to the newly built military factory to check out the progress of the Li family, but she heard a shocking news from Su Jin.
"Kiss? Me?"
Su Jin nodded repeatedly: "I just came from the front yard and heard the servants over there talking about it, but I don't know which family sent them."
"I'll go take a look." Qin Huiyin went to the front yard.
As soon as she walked out of the courtyard gate, she saw Tang Luwu coming out of the next courtyard. When Tang Luwu saw her, she ran over.
"Yinyin, I heard that a matchmaker came to our house."
"I'm going over to take a look now."
"I'll accompany you."
Tang Luwu pulled Qin Huiyin to the front yard, entered through the side door, and listened to the conversation in the lobby in the ear room.
"The Zhu family values our second daughter so much, and our Tang family is very grateful. But my daughter is still young, and I want to stay for two more years. I don't want to arrange a marriage for her in the next few years." Li Taohua smiled faintly, "Please go back and tell the ladies of the Zhu family that we are very grateful for their appreciation, but it's just that we are not destined to be together. I hope their eldest son can find a better girl."
"Does Madam Tang have any concerns?" the matchmaker said flatteringly, "The eldest son of the Zhu family is gentle and good-tempered, and he must love his wife. He is the eldest son of the Zhu family, and the huge family business will definitely be left to him in the future! His wife will be able to take charge of the affairs of the inner house as soon as she gets married. The old lady and the first lady above both love this eldest son very much, and naturally they will not treat the eldest young lady badly."
"I heard that the second young lady and the eldest young lady of the Zhu family are close friends and have a harmonious relationship. Isn't that even better? After she gets married, the aunt and sister-in-law will get along well. It's really a good match. If you have any other conditions, just mention them and I will pass them on to the ladies of the Zhu family. What about the betrothal gift, what kind of requirements for the son-in-law... As long as you have any requirements, just say it."
Tang Luwu lowered her voice and said, "Isn't that the eldest son of the Zhu family the one whose face was disfigured?"
Qin Huiyin nodded: "It's him."
"Why did the Zhu family want to ask for you to marry him?" Tang Luwu frowned, "How can he be worthy of you?" "You can't say that. The character of that young master is still very valuable. It's just that I don't like him and don't want to blindly marry someone I don't like. No matter what kind of person that young master Zhu is, even if he is a god in heaven, I just don't like him." Qin Huiyin said, "Fortunately, my mother helped me refuse. Otherwise, I would have to marry someone else's daughter-in-law at such a young age. It's terrible."
"You're fifteen years old, not young anymore, and can get married." Tang Luwu teased her.
"Yes, if we are going to get married, you should marry first. Have you ever heard of a family marrying off the younger sister first and then the older sister? Once my marriage is discussed, you can't escape, otherwise people will gossip."
"Then forget it! Mother is right. We are still young and there is no rush to stay for a few more years." Tang Luwu looked as if she was saying 'thank you, but it's not necessary'.
Li Taohua rejected the matchmaker again.
The matchmaker's face looked a little bad.
Li Taohua served tea and shouted, "Someone, send the ice man out."
The matchmaker suppressed her anger and left Tang's house.
As soon as the matchmaker left, Li Taohua pressed her eyebrows.
A hand reached out and held her head.
Li Taohua felt the soft fingers wandering on her head and enjoyed it with her eyes closed.
"Mom, haven't you had breakfast yet?" Qin Huiyin asked the servant beside her.
The servant replied, "The lady hadn't gotten up yet when the official matchmaker came to her house. She was in a hurry to entertain the official matchmaker and had no time to eat."
"Why don't you bring the delicious food and drinks over quickly?"
Li Taohua took Qin Huiyin's hand and pointed to the seat next to her: "How much did you sisters hear?"
"Not long after we arrived, we heard the official media bragging about how happy it was to marry into the Zhu family." Tang Luwu said, "Mother, the eldest son of the Zhu family has a disfigured face, how can he be worthy of our Yinyin?"
"The reason I rejected him was not because he had a disfigured face. Of course, this was one of the reasons. The most important thing was that I had never heard Yinyin mention this person, which meant that Yinyin didn't like him, so naturally I couldn't agree." Li Taohua looked at Qin Huiyin, then at Tang Luwu, "If one day you have someone you like, remember to come and tell me. It's not easy for us women. Getting married is like a second reincarnation, which determines whether we can live comfortably in the second half of our lives. We are not a wealthy family, we don't have so many rules, and we don't care about family background. If one day you get married, I hope you marry someone you really like."
"Mother..." Tang Luwu rested her head on Li Taohua's arm and acted like a spoiled child. "You are so kind."
Tang Dafu came over with breakfast, followed by other servants.
The servants placed various breakfasts on the table.
"Yinyin, Luwu, come and eat something with your mother. With you here, her appetite will be better." Tang Dafu said.
"It just so happens that I haven't eaten enough yet!" Tang Luwu said, "Mom, let's fill our stomachs first."
Tang Yichen was discussing official business with several colleagues at the Censorate when he looked up and saw Song Ruize coming in. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Song Ruize's figure.
Song Ruize held a token in his hand and said calmly, "Our military department needs to check a document. I have already obtained the approval of the Imperial Censor. Sorry to bother you, gentlemen."
"Commander Song, you're welcome. Please." Another Chief Censor said with a smile.
Song Ruize nodded: "Thank you."
The reputation of the Bingmasi was mixed. However, recently Yang Xing, the commander of the Nancheng Bingmasi, was sentenced to exile, which allowed the entire Bingmasi to be reorganized. This commander of the Dongcheng Bingmasi took great advantage of this.
This person is no small character.
Even though he came from a humble background, he was a very capable person.
"Sir Tang, I heard that you and Commander Song are from the same hometown. Then you must have known each other for a long time, right? One of you is a civil official and the other is a military officer, so don't you have any friendship at all?" the official next to him asked in a low voice.
"We are not even remotely related, so how can we have a friendship?" Tang Yichen said indifferently.
"This time, you submitted all the evidence of the crimes of Yang Xing, the former head of the Southern City Army. If you didn't do this to help your fellow countrymen, it would be too strange for you to risk offending the Yang family."
"I am the Chief Censor. It is my duty to supervise officials. I know about Yang Xing's crimes. Am I supposed to pretend to be deaf and dumb? Then what am I doing sitting in this position? Am I supposed to be a mascot?"
Everyone: “…”
I feel a little bit touched.
"Congratulations, Lord Tang, congratulations, Lord Tang..." An official walked in from outside.
"Lord Fang, where does your joy come from?" Tang Yichen said calmly.
"I just came from the Ministry of Personnel. The servants in the Minister of Personnel's mansion are reporting to the Minister of Personnel that the Zhu family has invited an official matchmaker to propose marriage to your house. You will be able to marry the Minister of Personnel soon. Isn't that a happy event?" The official had a strange expression of 'you and I understand each other tacitly'.
