Gao's eyes rolled, she was here, how could she not see why her nephew looked like this?
At that moment, he sighed quietly, "Although we are similar in age, if Aling is not successful, even if I were to be the matchmaker, your grandmother and mother would not agree."
The Gao family is a century-old family, and the direct descendants are noble. Naturally, the marriage of children must be chosen from a well-matched family.
As a direct member of the Gao family, you cannot choose the reason for your marriage.
Gao Mingzi was young and playful, so how could he obediently listen to his elders and make them feel at ease?
He immediately said: "Why don't you agree? As long as my aunt is the guarantee, my grandmother and father will definitely agree. They both love my aunt. As long as my grandmother and father nod, my mother will naturally not stop it."
Xue Erlang on the side frowned and said: "Cousin, you are also sixteen this year. You are no longer a child. How can you still be so willful?"
Gao Mingzi was dissatisfied, "Second cousin, how can I be willful? A gentle lady and a gentleman are so stubborn, and I want to marry the girl I like, but I am also willful? Second cousin also said to me, then you are three years older than me, so you are more willful!"
Otherwise, why don’t you want to marry a girl from the Lin family?”
Xue Erlang:......
He glared at Gao Mingzi, rolled up his sleeves and stood up, "I was going to take you to the racecourse. Now, you talk to your mother first, and I'll go play first. Come back to me when you make it clear."
After that, he resigned from Mr. Gao, turned around and strode out.
Gao Mingzi curled his lips and looked at Mrs. Gao with a pitiful look on his face, "Aunt, I'm not wrong. My second cousin doesn't want to marry a girl from the Lin family, and you and your uncle didn't force him. If the second cousin brings him back, he'll be in a bad marriage."
If you insist on marrying a girl who has the wrong household name, will you agree?"
Seeing this, Mrs. Gao couldn't help but laugh and said: "Your uncle and I are different from your parents. Your eldest cousin married the eldest daughter of the Gu family, and your second cousin is just the second son. Whether he marries a girl from a noble family or not, it doesn't matter.
It doesn’t matter, but you are different, you are your parents’ only legitimate son.”
Families must marry, so that they can continue and last long.
Gao Mingzi opened his mouth, then lost his temper and curled his lips and said, "Why doesn't my mother have more sons?"
Mr. Gao laughed, even if there is another child, the eldest son and the second son will always be different.
Gao Mingzi's temper came and went as quickly as it came, so he thought about it and said, "I see that you like those two girls very much, aunt. Why don't you accept A Ling as your adopted daughter? In that case, if I marry my aunt's daughter, it will be a good match for me."
!”
"Do you like Aling that much?" asked Gao.
Gao Mingzi nodded heavily, "This is the first time I have met such a dazzling and heroic girl."
Mr. Gao laughed when he heard this. How much affection does he have for admiring Ai at such a young age?
She didn't want to argue with him anymore, so she just said: "Accept her as your adopted daughter? No, the seniority is messed up."
Gao Mingzi was puzzled.
Mrs. Gao smiled and said: "I forgot to tell you in detail, you know that Uncle Ninth is the direct descendant of the fifth house, right?"
Gao Mingzi nodded. He naturally knew about this ninth uncle, Gao Ting, and admired him very much!
After all, this is the only one in the clan who doesn't follow literature. Instead, he goes out to learn skills from his masters, and then joins the world of martial arts, enjoying himself freely.
If he hadn't been afraid that his grandmother and mother would be blinded by crying, he would have wanted to travel around the world! How free and proud is that?
However, why talk about this so politely?
Why is the seniority messed up again?
Gao said: "A Ling is your Uncle Ninth's only disciple. A master is like a father and a disciple is like a son. So A Ling asked her, who is equivalent to your Ninth Uncle's descendant. Counting all the eight classics, you should call her.
My cousin’s.”
Gao Mingzi:……
He never thought that there was such a thing here.
The girl will not lie to him, this is the truth.
At this age, he really can't marry.
Thinking like this, Gao Mingzi's whole body was like a frost-sized eggplant, with no energy at all.
When Mrs. Gao saw this, she said: "The legitimate daughter of the Sun family happens to be staying with her uncle now. She is also a bright and cheerful girl. I will ask your cousin-in-law to hold a banquet tomorrow and invite her to come over. You can secretly
Take a look."
The nephew came here not only to wish her a birthday, but also because her brother and sister-in-law wrote a special letter to ask for her.
The brother and sister-in-law have taken a fancy to the Sun family, and the two families are willing to get married.
It happened that there was a girl from the Sun family who was staying with her uncle. When she took a closer look, she also looked at each other.
Gao Mingzi felt bored and waved his hand, "Let's talk about it later."
Mrs. Gao didn't force him, she just asked him to go down and rest until her birthday was over.
…
Song Qiu and Aling left Xue Mansion and went to the city to find Fang Ji's shop to prepare for tomorrow's competition.
They came out this time to visit Mr. Gao, and they didn't bring condiments with them in the car, so she had to go to Fangji to buy some bean paste and other things for the game tomorrow morning.
I wonder if the condiments prepared for the competition tomorrow will include bean paste and dried chili peppers. After all, Fang Ji has opened shops in various cities and towns, and they are all promoted.
But in case she is not prepared, it is appropriate for her to prepare herself.
Because I was not familiar with this place, I searched for half an afternoon before I found Fang Ji's grocery store. I immediately bought all the necessary condiments and then returned to the inn.
After dinner, wash up and go to bed early.
Early the next morning, several people got up, dressed neatly, went downstairs to have breakfast, caught a carriage and headed to Yangliu Lane.
They arrived early, but the alley was already overcrowded by now. Everyone was waiting for the Hu's courtyard to open and prepare for the game.
There are also many people outside the alley. They are not here to participate in the competition, but are here to wait for others or to watch the fun.
Although you can't enter the Hu's courtyard today without the wooden sign, and you can't watch the competition live at all, you can still smell the fragrance by staying here and know for the first time whether the people you know have passed or not.
Song Qiu got off the carriage and asked Lu Jing and the others to sit and drink tea at the tea stall as usual. Aling accompanied her in the alley and waited for the door to open.
More and more people came, it was crowded and noisy, and everyone was talking about the competition.
In this dense crowd, at a glance, one could count about twenty or thirty elderly women. They were standing in a group, chattering and not caring about the eyes of other men.
But young girls like Song Qiu and Aling are very conspicuous in the crowd.
Soon someone started talking in lowered voices.
"Is this the little girl who also signed up for the competition?"
"It's her. She signed up yesterday and she was in front of me!"
"You're really here? This girl is also very brave. I don't know if she's just here to join in the fun, or if she really has something."
"You should still have some skills, otherwise why would you come here to show off your face? Is it possible that you are here to choose a son-in-law?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter.
"This girl is pretty and fair. She is very nice. If she is really here to choose a husband, oh, I haven't gotten married yet!"
The laughter couldn't stop.
Al-Ling glanced over coldly, wondering who said what, and she was the one who was in decline.
Just when she was thinking that if these people didn't shut up, she would yell at them, the door to Hu's courtyard opened.
