"Then do you have a suitable candidate in mind? Why don't you write to your eldest disciple and ask him to pay more attention to see if there is a suitable candidate in the capital? There must be a good man. Our sister Xian is always the direct descendant of the eldest son of the Duke of Guo.
Female, your status is not low!"
Ning felt that considering Yao Mengxian's family background, she would definitely be a good match.
"People say that the eldest daughter of a widow cannot be married. Those aristocratic families are very discerning. They can only blame our eldest daughter for dying early." Liang Zhirui said his eldest daughter, and his heart became heavy again.
Mrs. Ning also fell silent. After a long while, she said: "Let's take a closer look when we get to the capital! Isn't your birthday coming soon? Post more posts."
Mrs. Ning knew that Liang Zhirui didn't like the excitement. In previous years, he only invited people close to him to celebrate his birthday, and it was only grand celebrations.
Now, for the sake of my granddaughter, I have to cast a wide net and shamelessly invite those women from aristocratic families to the banquet.
Liang Zhirui hesitated for a long time, "Actually, don't we have a suitable candidate right in front of us?"
Ning was stunned, "Which one?"
"Chengyu! This kid is smart, smart, upright and reliable. He's not as ridiculous as the kids from aristocratic families. He's good-looking. Sister Pei Xian is a talented man and a pretty girl. I think he's a good candidate. Apart from his family background, he's impeccable.
.”
Liang Zhirui had this idea since Gu Chengyu and Yao Mengxian returned to Fucheng two years ago.
Gu Chengyu has been under his tutelage since he was eight years old, and has always respected him. He is also progressive in his studies, his conduct as a person is not to mention, and he is also very keen on matters in the court.
Putting aside his family background, he is truly a rare good son.
When he becomes a Jinshi and becomes an official in the court, given his qualifications, as long as he is not too unlucky, his future should be good.
He also keeps his wealth and wealth from others. If the two become husband and wife, he believes that Gu Chengyu will treat Sister Xian well.
Ning was a little surprised, "How could Master think of Chengyu?" Ning had never thought that her grandson-in-law was Gu Chengyu.
It is undeniable that Gu Chengyu is indeed better than the young people in the capital, but he lost because of his birth. How can a son of a peasant family and the legitimate daughter of the eldest son of the Duke of Guo be considered a good match?
Since ancient times, people have attached great importance to being from the same family. If the family background is different, how can we live a happy life together?
"Why can't it be him? What do you think is bad about him? What's wrong with him? Tell me."
How could Liang Zhirui not understand what his old wife was thinking? It was nothing more than the same old idea of being a well-matched couple. However, back then, his daughter had married a member of a noble family. Who in the capital didn't say that she was a good marriage?
But what about now? Is the death of the eldest daughter really not related to the son-in-law? If he hadn't taken her in one by one, would his eldest daughter have been so depressed that she would have died early?
What about an aristocratic family? There are a lot of sisters-in-law upon entering, and each room is in competition with each other. There are several layers of elders above, and there are countless rules.
It takes an hour or two to wake up every morning and dusk. After his eldest daughter got married, he couldn't even think about going back to his parents' home. There were so many trivial things at home that he couldn't leave, and he had to ask his mother-in-law for permission to go out.
He already knew about Gu Chengyu's family. The family was divided and they would get married in the capital in the future. They wouldn't be able to see each other easily on weekdays. They would just wait and give New Year's gifts during the holidays.
Even if the parents go to Beijing with them, the two old men should not embarrass their daughter-in-law based on their love for Gu Chengyu. There is no grandmother above them, so the young couple can just live their own lives.
Liang Zhirui told his analysis to Mrs. Ning, and said that if Sister Xian and Chengyu got married, she could come back and live there often, which made Mrs. Ning very excited.
But after feeling excited, Ning Shi shook her head again, "We are planning here, but the Duke's Palace will be happy? They must want to push Sister Xian out for marriage, can they like Chengyu? After all, he is just a farmer, even if
If you pass the Jinshi exam, you can only get a low-grade official position in the Hanlin Academy."
The Duke's Mansion would not take a fancy to Gu Chengyu, who had no foundation, and it would be in vain for them to even think about it.
"Besides, there's still a generation gap between Sister Xian and Chengyu!"
Of course Liang Zhirui has considered this issue, "What are you afraid of? When the time comes, just accept Sister Xian as a registered disciple. Then there will be no difference in seniority between the two of them?"
Ning was dumbfounded, "Is this a good idea? It's too far-fetched."
However, she also feels that this problem is not a big problem and there is always a way to solve it.
But it definitely wouldn't work at the Duke's Mansion. She was afraid that the master would just draw water from a bamboo basket and get nothing.
"There is another question we haven't considered yet. Will Chengyu agree to this?"
Liang Zhirui thought that if Gu Chengyu agreed, he could cooperate with Gu Chengyu to solve the issues in the Duke's Mansion. He always felt that Gu Chengyu could think of a way. As a young disciple, he had a very bright mind.
But what if Gu Chengyu disagrees? Over the past few years, he feels that Gu Chengyu is very thoughtful, and he thinks that Gu Chengyu's concern for Sister Xian is just normal.
He closed his eyes and said: "Then let's talk about it after we go to the capital! This matter can only be left to chance."
He said this but made up his mind in his heart. If the Duke's Office went too far, then he could only lick this old face and mention it to Chengyu. The reason why he didn't say it now was because he didn't want to
Using the identity of a teacher to oppress the young disciples changed the relationship between teacher and student.
Ning was a little surprised. She was talking about rising just now, so why can't she make up her mind now?
However, the two of them did not continue to discuss this issue. It was too early to talk about this now. We had to go to the capital to discuss it.
"Girl! We will return to the capital in more than three months. Do you still need to send a letter to the government?"
Lian Xin is making a dress for her girl. In the past two years, the girl has grown up and has to change her dress every six months.
She looked at the cardamom girl sitting by the window reading a book. In two years, her girl was still a little immature, but she was beginning to show her splendor.
Wearing a brocade coat embroidered with gold and butterflies, and a floor-length skirt with plum blossoms and water, the hair is combed into a bun with a small hairpin, and only a flower spike hairpin is inserted diagonally on the top. The shoulders are slimmed down and the waist is slim, and the figure is not that big.
He is short and walks like a weak willow supporting the wind. He is graceful and graceful.
Just sitting quietly, she caught her attention. Her girl is so pretty.
Yao Mengxian felt helpless as a gaze was cast on her. She knew it was Lian Xin without even looking. This girl often looked at her in a trance.
"I won't write a letter anymore. My grandfather has already written a letter anyway. He will be leaving in a while, so there's no need to do anything wrong." She said without turning her head.
When she doesn't know what her good stepmother wants to do? She's so anxious to take her back, isn't she just trying to get her in exchange for benefits?
Thinking of this, she sneered. After returning to the capital, she was afraid that she would not be able to live such a peaceful life. In the dream, her stepmother took a fancy to the benefits promised by the emperor and wanted to give her to the sick fourth prince as a concubine. If so,
If she could escape from the prison of the Duke's Mansion, she would not be unwilling to do so.
In the dream, she was preparing to get married at home. Who knew what happened next? Those people were simply bullying her. Now that she knew what happened, how could she be willing to accept it?
She put down the book in her hand and secretly made up her mind that she would never let them get what they wanted this time.
