The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official Chapter 251

  Chapter 251 251 Discussing marriage and being granted marriage

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Zhao Lan found that the teacher's attitude towards him was not as good as before. Could it be that he didn't do well enough?

Seeing that he was still standing motionless, Su Yanli was a little impatient: "Is there anything else?" It meant why you didn't go back.

Zhao Lan:…

I used to save food every time, but now...

Mom, Su Ruojin quickly sent him out before she laughed out loud.

Zhao Lan was so aggrieved that he didn't even leave any food, "Ah Jin..."

With great difficulty, Su Ruojin suppressed her smile and reminded: "You robbed someone else's daughter, but you still want someone to treat you well, and you also want to make a living. It's a good idea."

After hearing this, Zhao Lan suddenly realized, yes, Ah Jin will be his wife from now on, and Ah Jin can't cook whatever she wants.

In an instant, someone became proud and said, "Okay, then I will be considerate of the teacher's mood, I don't want to take advantage of him anymore, and I will leave in a happy mood."

In ancient times, from matchmaking to marriage, the process of proposing and making an engagement and preparing the "three letters and six etiquette" was quite troublesome.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the Jin Palace invited an official official media to come to the house. Of course, it couldn't be a dry matchmaker. The Jin Palace not only asked the Crown Princess to come over, but also invited a highly respected old lady.

In the Su family, although Cheng Yingzhen looked like the matron of the family, she had no experience in such important events. Su Yanli invited Mrs. Fan to come over and help host it.

The Su family had a simple population and lived a happy life, but they were really short of manpower for big things. Zhao Lan also sent a capable mother-in-law and maid over privately, so on the ninth day of the first lunar month, the Su family held a grand ceremony.

Su Ruojin, who has always been in charge, was sitting in the boudoir dressed up like a rich lady. If she could have Yang Siniang come over to accompany her before, now, she can only let Su Xiaomei come over to relieve her boredom.

She only appeared in front of everyone when the matchmaker was just a formality. Mrs. Wei put a hairpin in her head to express her agreement. In fact, Zhao Lan and Su Ruojin had already known each other, but since the matchmaker came, they left. Let's go through the motions.

When Zhao Lan saw the hairpin that symbolized consent inserted into the head of his beloved little lady, the smile on his face could not stop. The imperial concubine was secretly surprised. His brother-in-law was the sweetheart of her mother-in-law, so she couldn't be more spoiled. , usually in the house, he always acted coldly and said no one owed him anything. In her impression, she had never seen him smile.

The young lady of the Su family, she had heard about it a long time ago, and her mother-in-law had always been unwilling, but she couldn't stand the idea of ​​marrying her brother-in-law, so she had no choice but to agree.

Sure enough, what I like is different. Look, he is gentle and courteous, smiling again and again, but he is still the cold and unsmiling brother-in-law.

Shaking his head secretly, just yesterday, the old lady of the Zhenguo General's Mansion still didn't give up. She wanted to tell her granddaughter to her brother-in-law. The conditions and dowry promised were really generous and could not be more generous. Unfortunately, the brother-in-law did not move, so she took it seriously. The eldest daughter of the teacher's family.

The young lady is wearing a light pink brocade coat with snow-white fox fur sewn on the edges, and a horse-faced skirt. Although her figure is not fully developed, she looks very dignified and majestic standing in the hall, with a sweet smile and intelligence. There is gentleness in it.

Bright eyes, black hair, dotted red lips.

The moment she met her brother-in-law's eyes, the way she lowered her head was so pretty.

This is the love between two people!

The concubine's life is full of emotions. Every young lady in the boudoir has yearned for it infinitely!

After the matchmaking, Su Yanli was going to take office, but Zhao Lan kept him here again, "Teacher, while you are in Beijing, I will also propose marriage."

There is an old saying: "Marriage is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker."

After agreeing on a matchmaker, the next step is to propose marriage. The two parties exchange their children's birthdays and horoscopes, and find a master to test them to see if they are a good match. Under normal circumstances, there will be no problem.

Su Yanli: ...If you don't take office again, will the Holy Father blame you?

Zhao Lan seemed to hear his thoughts, smiled and handed over his hand, "Teacher, don't worry, my father has already asked the Holy One for instructions, and the Holy One agreed."

Well, there is someone in the court who wants to be an official.

No, no, there are people in the court who like to marry girls.

Hey, that's not right. They are all thinking about whatever they want. Su Yanli thought to himself, since he doesn't have to worry about anything, he can happily marry his daughter.

When you propose marriage to a high-ranking family, the amount of gifts you bring is a lot.

From cakes and snacks to bejeweled clothes and ornaments, it was really dazzling. Su Ruojin felt her heart beat when she saw it. No wonder everyone wants to marry high. Look at these gifts. This is not the official betrothal gift. How much will it cost to get engaged?

I don't dare to think about it, I really don't dare to think about it.

Su Ruojin, a girl who was completely free to get married, was sitting by the bed. While she was having a lot of fun, she started to fear marriage for some reason.

"Ai, I don't want to get married."

Su Xiaomei pouted, "If I hadn't been young, I would have married Brother Jin for you."

"Hey, you want a beating, right?" After saying that, Su Ruojin raised his hand as if to hit him.

Su Xiaomei bared her teeth and smiled and hid aside, "Sister, let me tell you, there are a lot of young ladies in Beijing who want to marry Brother Jin, but you don't want to be a good boy while you get an advantage."

"Su Ruyi, how old are you? Besides, people have snatched away your sister, and you still speak for them?"

Su Xiaomei still smiled: "I'm telling the truth! Who makes Brother Jin look like an immortal?"

Immortal? Su Ruojin rolled her eyes. The person who came to be a fairy was at best a male and female person who couldn't tell the difference between male and female. However, she just thought about it and didn't say it out loud. She was afraid that her little sister would say it without any restraint and make Zhao Lan angry.

Su Xiaomei ran out to play, and ran back after a while, shouting, "Sister...Sister, we have discussed it before. You and brother Jin will get engaged next year, but the wedding time, dad said eighteen, brother Jin disagreed and said it was It's too late, he can't wait."

Su Ruojin, who was about to speak:...

What can't wait.

In the front yard, the person accompanying Zhao Lan this time was Zhao Xuan, the eldest son of the Jin Palace, who was discussing with Su Yanli the date of his younger brother's wedding. Originally, the Jin Palace meant that they would get engaged at the age of fourteen and get married at the age of fifteen.

The Su family had no objection to the time of engagement, but the time of marriage was not until the age of eighteen. Then his brother was already twenty-four years old and had become a man.

Zhao Lan didn't want to wait so long, but his future father-in-law wouldn't let go.

Unexpectedly, the marriage proposal was stuck at this stage.

Zhao Xuan glanced at his younger brother, which means, your father-in-law, you can handle it yourself.

Zhao Lan:…

He doesn't seem to be able to handle it! What to do... what to do? Suddenly, his eyes lit up, he had it!

Zhao Lan excused himself to change clothes and came directly to Su Ruojin.

At the door, the newly bought little girl who looked after the courtyard was so shocked that she forgot to stop him when she saw the noble young master who looked like a fairy.

Zhao Lan arrived at the door of Su Ruojin's inner room without any obstruction, but was stopped by Mao Ya, "Little prince, this is not polite."

We met once, but it was inappropriate. Zhao Lan glanced at this little girl and directly reached out to knock on the door, "Ajin, I have something to tell you."

In the room, Su Xiaomei covered her mouth and smiled, and whispered, "I will definitely make you agree to get married as soon as possible."

Su Ruojin guessed the same, but at the age of eighteen, she had to adapt to the ancient living customs. She couldn't get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, which she couldn't do!

She glared at her younger sister and said, "Go to your mother first." She had to tell Zhao Lan carefully that early marriage and early childbearing were bad for her health.

Su Ruojin opened the door, "Brother Jin, please come in—"

Mao Ya stepped aside.

Shuangrui looked at the girl proudly, as if you were trying to stop her. Your master misses my master and lets you in as soon as he knocks on the door. You're just a stubborn girl. Su Ruojin didn't know the two signs, so she invited Zhao Lan in, "Brother Jin, is there something wrong?"

The young lady asked directly, and Zhao Lan didn't mince words. She stepped forward and hugged him, "Ajin, please ask the teacher to agree to marry me as soon as possible."

Su Ruojin raised her head and smiled, "To tell you the truth, I was the one who asked dad to marry when he was eighteen."

"Why?" Zhao Lan was extremely anxious. Who knows what it feels like to be able to see and feel something every day? Why is this little lady so cruel?

Su Ruojin said seriously, "Of course it's to grow old together with you."

Zhao Lan: ...two years earlier and two years later, what does it have to do with Baitou Xie Lao?

Seeing that the young man's brows could kill flies, Su Ruojin said earnestly, "If you get married early, you will have children early. However, girls' bodies are not fully developed and cannot bear the pain of giving birth to children. If you are not careful, you will have dystocia..."

Before she could finish her words, she was covered by Zhao Lan, "Then let's avoid having children first. We can get married first!"

How to avoid it in ancient times, what kind of soup should you drink? How much harm would that do to the body?

Su Ruojin's eyes were as resentful as she could be, and her words were as coy as she could be, "Brother Jin...Brother Jin..." She pouted her little mouth with a pitiful look on her face.

Zhao Lan's heart was melted by the little lady, "Okay, okay, if you say eighteen, then eighteen..." He has been thinking about her for so many years, and it's not less than these two years.

"Wow, Brother Jin, you are so good." Su Ruojin stood on tiptoes and took a sip.

The young lady took the initiative to kiss her, could Zhao Lan really be Liu Xiahui? Then he lowered his head and kissed her.

If you can't get married early, just hold your little hands and kiss your little mouth!

Outside the door, Shuangrui looked at the sky. Birds were chirping, and he didn't know how many of them flew by. His master was still having **** with his wife. Today was the day to propose marriage. He had forgotten such a big thing?

The marriage between Zhao Lan and Su Ruojin was officially settled. They were engaged at the age of fourteen and married at the age of eighteen.

Four years, how long it is. Zhao Lan felt like his hair was turning white.

Princess Jin said angrily, "Lan'er, you will be twenty-four by then, and..."

He looked at his mother and concubine faintly, "Are you an old man?"

Princess Jin waved her hands angrily, "That's not what I meant, it's just that...other people's children can go up trees to pick out birds and go down to rivers to catch fish, but you haven't even gotten married yet."

Zhao Lan: ...He doesn't want to either! But what can I do? His little wife will be hurt! It just seems to be quite taxing on him.

Su Yanli stayed in Beijing until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, planning to return to Weizhou County on the fifteenth day. But just as he was about to set off in the morning, an imperial edict was delivered.

Holy decree! Su Yanli had never received it once in his entire life, so he quickly led the whole family to kneel down to receive the imperial edict.

At first, everyone thought it was a marriage decree requested by the Jin Palace. It turned out that it was a marriage decree, but it was not from Su Ruojin, but from his younger brother Su Yanzu.

Everyone listened in shock and accepted the imperial edict.

The father-in-law in the palace smiled and congratulated, "Master Su, after Master Xiao Su becomes a subordinate, he will be appointed as Shaoqing (fourth grade) in Honglu Temple."

The Su family looked at each other.

Not only everyone in the Su family knew about the story between my uncle and Shangguanyu, but Princess Yuehua herself also knew about it, and she actually asked Emperor Chengyou to grant them a marriage.

Su Yanli and his daughter looked at each other. Su Yanzu had not even been admitted to Jinshi. He was just an official, and he suddenly became a fourth-rank court official. They were really shocked.

After the father-in-law left, Su Yanzu arrived not long after.

Su Yanli asked directly, "Shaobai, how come the imperial edict was delivered to my house?"

Su Yanzu held up his hands and apologized, "I just found out. I'm sorry, brother, but the Holy Father treats us as one. You are brother and the parent, so the imperial edict was sent here."

Su Yanli sighed, "What should we do now?"

"Except for you accepting the imperial edict as the head of the Su family, the rest... will be handled by His Highness."

Su Ruojin frowned: "Uncle, you..."

Su Yanzu knew what his niece was going to say, "In the past few days, I have been coming here to participate in your marriage proposal. Her Highness the Princess was probably touched, so..."

"You mean, you didn't know that the princess went to ask for a marriage?"

"Yeah." Su Yanzu sighed deeply, "But I'm not a good person either."

Su Ruojin understood the meaning of this, and the princess dared to ask for marriage. Although the two of them didn't say it clearly, his half-assuming and half-compliance attitude made the princess the final pusher.

"The Young Master of Honglu Temple..."

"This..." Su Yanzu said, "Years ago, the Holy Emperor was fighting in the north. I took over the grain and fodder matter. I was commended by the Holy Emperor, so as the prince's consort, I was directly appointed as the young minister of Honglu Temple, bypassing the Jinshi."

Sure enough, it is a privilege.

However, my brother-in-law himself is indeed capable, so he is really short of talent if he is only allowed to play the role of a princess.

Su Yanli did not leave on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. In the evening, Princess Yuehua treated her to a guest. As Su Yanzu's brother, he discussed the details of the princess's wedding with the people from the Ministry of Rites.

It is said to be a discussion, but in fact it is to tell the marriage process and the links that require cooperation out of respect and politeness.

My brother-in-law's wedding is in March, which is the time of spring.

Back in Weizhou County, Su Ruojin found Shangguanyu and told him that her uncle was going to marry the princess.

He was not as sad as Su Ruojin imagined. Perhaps it was the passage of time that made the affection between them slowly disappear.

"You..." After a long time, Su Ruojin still asked him what his plans were.

Shangguanyu smiled and said, "Opening a monastery and teaching Taoism is the direction of my future life!"

"Then will you get married and start a business?"

He thought for a long time before replying, "Maybe."

Call!

Su Ruojin took a deep breath and pretended to be relaxed, "I will fully support you."

Shangguanyu stood up, bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, Second Lady."

"Then I'll go back first."

Shangguanyu sent her as a gift.

The two of them walked onto the street, where people were coming and going. It was bustling with people. They only chatted for a few words, but it felt like several years had passed. It was a strange feeling.

Suddenly, a group of bright and beautiful people came face to face. They jumped off their horses and were so arrogant that the passers-by screamed and fled to the side.

Mao Ya stepped forward and stood in front of Su Ruojin, looking at the person coming warily.

The person facing me was dressed in a smart outfit, with a sharp and heroic look, and his eyes were cold. He looked straight at Su Ruojin, "Are you Su Ruojin, the eldest daughter of County Magistrate Su?"

Ever since I embraced Zhao Lan, I haven't encountered such an arrogant person for a long time.

Mao Ya took a step forward, "Who are you?"
