Chapter 504: The Three Zhao Houjing Brothers Know They Are Getting Married
"Since you've made up your mind, this is easy. Mo'er should be engaged at her age! When the time comes, you can choose a date, and I'll preside over the three letters and six ceremonies. Marry Madam Mo'er and let her manage the backyard."
Zhao Ling had a good dream and felt that such things could be handled according to the usual procedures.
After Zhao Lingmeng finished speaking, she saw that Zhao Anping and Zhao Zhimo were looking at her embarrassedly.
"What do you two mean by this? Are you guys going to regret your engagement? Isn't that bad?"
Zhao Lingmeng really felt bad because the woman had been in mourning for more than seven years and was already old enough. They might do something like this and then destroy the bridge after crossing it.
Zhao Anping sighed helplessly and said bitterly, "It's not that we want to go back on our word, it's that the woman has already done so. Now she has two children. What else can we do? I can only trouble my younger sister to find another child for Mo'er. I completely leave it to you."
Zhao Lingmeng: Thank you so much.
Although Zhao Lingmeng thought so in her heart, she still maintained a calm expression on her face, "Mo'er, do you have anyone you like?"
Zhao Zhimo quickly shook his head. He was a real gentleman. It was not a gentleman's behavior to look at women for no reason.
"Please, aunt!" Zhao Zhimo felt that his aunt was so capable, so the person she chose must be the right one.
Zhao Ling dreamed that both the father and son looked so horrible, and she really wanted to give up.
Zhao Lingmeng sincerely advised: "You should at least tell me what kind of person you like! After all, we are choosing a wife for you, and we will live with you when the time comes."
"I like people who are smart and reasonable. I don't have any other requirements. As long as they are not extremely ugly, I am fine with them."
Zhao Zhimo was also a victim of the Jin family. The Jin family had been making a lot of trouble over the years, and Zhao Anping felt exhausted. Her two children also felt exhausted.
Zhao Zhimo now just wants to find someone smart and quiet to have a quiet meal with, which is great.
Zhao Ling dreamed that Zhao Zhimo had stated his request, but he didn't try to persuade him. After all, everyone has their own preferences. "Alright! I'll find a few and let you and your son choose."
"Thank you, Auntie!" Zhao Zhimo said this with great sincerity. It was good enough for Auntie to do this. If he were in her place, he might not be able to do the same as Auntie.
Zhao Lingmeng just nodded with a smile in her eyes.
Afterwards, they ate and drank, and then Zhao Anping returned home with his two sons. Zhao Lingmeng began to prepare some things so that they could start decorating the house after the mourning period ended in two days.
Although Zhao Lingmeng swore in front of her elder brother that she would arrive in time, she knew that time was indeed very tight.
The eldest princess's son's wedding is full of etiquette. If everything is kept simple, the woman's family will think they are dissatisfied with her! Isn't this just looking for trouble?
So Zhao Lingmeng still hopes that everything can be done perfectly.
Zhao Lingmeng did not deliberately hide the big move in the mansion, so the nobles in Yuanjing were all speculating that Princess Funing's mansion was going to hold a wedding.
Everyone outside knew about it, and Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming in the mansion also guessed it.
Zhao Houming just thought that he should be the eldest brother's, so he was leisurely every day, waiting for the wedding.
Zhao Houjing was quite anxious. He hadn't passed the imperial examination yet, but he had to move out after getting married. No matter how he thought about it, he didn't feel happy.
As for the rest, Zhao Houjing hasn't figured it out yet!
So during a dinner together, Zhao Houjing expressed his thoughts.
"Mom, I haven't passed the imperial examination yet, so I don't want to get married."
"Oh!" Zhao Lingmeng responded casually, and didn't react at all. After all, she had expected her eldest son to do this.
"Mom, I'm serious..." Zhao Houjing was so anxious that his tone was a little unpleasant.
Zhao Lingmeng put down her chopsticks and looked at her eldest son seriously. "Are you sure you can pass the exam this time, 100%?"
"Who can guarantee it 100%?" Zhao Houjing felt that his mother might be joking.
"Then what are you saying? Miss Cheng is nineteen this year. If you fail this subject again, will you get married or will you let Miss Cheng wait for you for another three years?"
Zhao Lingmeng felt that her son was dreaming.
"But..." Zhao Houjing wanted to say something else.
Zhao Lingmeng knew exactly what her son was concerned about, so she said directly, "Don't worry about it. Your two younger brothers will get married soon, and when the time comes, you can all move out together. No one will suffer any loss."
When it comes to arguing with Zhao Houjing, Fan Houyang thinks he is a professional. Looking at his elder brother's expression, he immediately said in a joking tone:
"That must be my eldest brother taking advantage of me and my second brother. He is two years older than me and one year older than my second brother. He eats more of my mother's food than both of us."
Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming were both surprised when they heard their mother say this. After all, they didn't expect that even their third brother was going to get married.
Zhao Houjing knew that Fan Houyang was also going to get married, and he didn't even care when Fan Houyang argued with him. If it were in the past, he would have retorted at least a few words.
At this moment, he was only curious about why, "Why is my third brother so anxious to get married?"
"It's normal for your third brother to want to be in love and get married soon! Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough!"
Zhao Lingmeng had no opinion on this, so her explanation was mostly meant as a joke.
Zhao Houjing's eyes widened when he heard this. He didn't expect that his third brother, who was always so arrogant in the mansion, was actually a romantic. This really shows that you can't judge a person by his appearance.
Although Zhao Houming frowned in disapproval, he didn't say anything. After all, his mother said that everyone has his own reasons for leaving.
Don't easily criticize other people's choices.
Zhao Houjing, with a touch of gloating, sincerely congratulated: "Then congratulations, third brother, lovers finally get married!"
"Thank you, big brother!" Fan Houyang did not deny it, but accepted it frankly.
"So when you three are all married, you three can live your own lives and that will make Mom happy."
Although Zhao Lingmeng's words sound nice, this is just a nicer way of saying you should move out after getting married.
The most unhappy person here is Zhao Houming. He really doesn't want to move out.
Zhao Houjing didn't want to be the head of the household at all. He could already imagine that his quality of life would decline drastically after he became the head of the household. He didn't have enough money to cover his current expenses.
Only Fan Houyang, knowing that his mother disliked his wife, still felt that living separately would be better for both mother and wife, so he accepted the decision to move out.
"Don't worry, Mom, I'll come back often." Zhao Houming said in advance. He just didn't want to be away from his mother for too long.
