Chapter 99 When the marriage is in progress
In Chang'an City, Hongfu Nu was meeting with Mrs. Qin Qiong and Mrs. Cheng Yaojin. Zhang Chuchen said, "Hey! I want to ask my two sisters for help today!"
The three of them have always had a good relationship, so the other two asked quickly, "What's the matter?" Sister just told me!
"Both sisters know that I have a poor sister. I went there early on. After raising the child, my brother-in-law also died in love last year. Now I leave my lonely nephew alone, who is fifteen years old. I want to talk to him about marriage, but I don't know who has a good girl of the right age, so I want my two sisters to help!
Oh, you all know my nephew, that is Bai Fan who founded Zhongnan Academy!"
When the two heard this, they said, "Okay, it turned out that they were looking for a marriage for Bai Fan. This is a great thing. With everyone's relationship with Bai Fan, they are also unshirkable! So they all agreed quickly. When they went back, they invited their best friends to spread the news and started looking for girls!"
When Qin Shubao heard this, he thought to himself why Bai Fan didn't say this in the academy? Oh, maybe he was embarrassed!
"I'm a little regretful. Someone has no daughter. If she has one, she can marry Bai Fan. She will definitely be a good son-in-law!" Qin Qiong said, touching her beard.
Mrs. Qin laughed and scolded, "I'm not serious, Huai Dao is twenty years old, you're going to hold your grandson, and you're still thinking about having a daughter?"
Besides, you have formed a brotherly relationship with Bai Fan on the battlefield, do you still want to marry your daughter to your brother?"
"What's the matter...
This is not what you mean by your husband!" Then the old face turned red, and the words became darker and darker!
In fact, ancient people also had an open side, and there was no saying that they could not marry by their seniority. There were even many brothers who rushed to send their daughters to fill in the house!
For example, if two people are friends, one loses their wife in middle age, and the other happens to have a 28-year-old daughter, then it is very likely that this person will marry his daughter to his friend to fill in the house. There are many such examples, which are all habits passed down from generation to generation by the ancients, and everyone can accept such things!
So at this time Qin Qiong meant that it was not wrong for his daughter to marry Bai Fan, but he was afraid that his wife would misunderstand that she wanted to have another daughter at this time, so she turned red!
There are many bad traditions like this in ancient times. For example, it was common for old husbands and young wives to be seen in ancient times. Su Dongpo, a famous writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, went to attend the wedding of his 80-year-old friend's concubine. The bride was an 18-year-old girl. Su Shi also wrote a poem at the banquet, "The eighteen bride, eighty-year-old man, with pale hair on his face, red makeup. The mandarin ducks are in the quilt, and a tree of pear blossoms pressed the crabapple"! This sentence of pear blossoms pressed the crabapple has become a classic sentence that has been sung through the ages, and the meaning is to satirize the old husbands and young wives!
This kind of thing actually shows that women's social status in ancient times was very low!
Cheng Yaojin's family also heard his wife talk about this and shouted with regret, "It's a pity that our daughter is only three years old, otherwise she would be a good match for boy Bai Fan!"
Mrs. Cheng also nodded with regret!
...It seems that no parents in the world would say that their daughter is ugly!
The next day was the grand court meeting, and Cheng Yaojin was muttering to Li Jing in the court. The two were discussing Bai Fan's marriage. Li Jing was also assigned a task by his wife. His wife Zhang Chuchen was responsible for contacting the wives of the inner yard of various families, and he was responsible for contacting the civil and military personnel who were familiar with the court.
When Li Er announced his retirement from the court, before everyone could walk out of the hall, Cheng Dao Tzu pulled Li Jing and shouted, "Pharmacist, aren't you going to find a wife for Boy Bai? Instead of asking each family, it's better to ask how good it is while everyone is in the hall!"
When Li Jing saw that it was not good, this stupid man was going to be a mess again. How could such a private matter be asked openly in groups?
But everyone became interested in Demon Cheng's words, and Li Er stopped leaving and asked directly what was going on?
Demon Cheng stood in the middle of the hall and shouted, "Bao Baifan of Lantian County is the nephew of the pharmacist. The pharmacist wants to find a marriage for the nephew, so whoever has a good girl of the right age in the family? If you are interested, come and negotiate, first come first serve!
Bai Fan’s requirement is to be beautiful, slim, and not to be young…”
Before Demon Cheng could finish calling, Li Jing hurriedly stepped forward and covered his mouth tightly. You, a silly man, shouting at the top of your voice, wouldn’t it ruin my nephew’s reputation? How could this happen? We are marrying, not going to be son-in-laws!
I was silent for my nephew. It was because my uncle was not good and my careless friends made you famous again... I guess I was tragic too, so how could I explain to my wife when I got home...
No need to think about it, although Chang'an City is big and the conditions in ancient times are simple, it does not mean that the information spread in ancient times is not fast. In less than an hour, the news of Bai Fan and Bai's open marriage has spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang'an! And the one who talks the most is that Bai Fan actually likes slim older women...
This one thing alone has become a hot topic on the streets and alleys!
After Qin Qiong found out, he also cursed that this old Cheng would do something bad!
But he didn't know that Li Jing was worried at this time whether he would go home or not!
In the palace, Li Er and Empress Changsun sat opposite each other, talking about Bai Fan's marriage proposal. "Bai Fan is a talented boy. I have discussed with my father before. He must hold him firmly in his hands. If such a talented man has a different intention, the consequences will definitely be immeasurable!
But I can't bear to kill him for no reason, so it's best to be able to get a big deal!
Look at his marriage this time, Guanyinbi..."
Empress Changsun nodded and said, "Yes, this son has made great contributions many times at a young age, recruiting talents and abolishing the crown prince. On the battlefield, salt making techniques, and the safety methods of women and infants from the past few days, plus his academy! His ability is almost impossible to count, but he is only fifteen years old!
It is the best way to recruit it as a son-in-law, but unfortunately this child is not our child, otherwise it is the most reliable!"
Li Er nodded and thought to himself that if he had such a demonic son, what would it be?
"But our daughter is not that old. All the right ages have already agreed to be beautiful now, but beautiful is only seven years old, and the difference is too much, hey!" Li Er was worried!
Changsun also knew about this situation, and he frowned for a moment, and had no good idea!
In Chang'an City, those who are familiar with Bai Fan and have a good relationship have all been thinking about this matter. Bai Fan obviously will stand out in the future. If he can get along well, it will definitely be a great thing. Judging from his character, his daughter will definitely not suffer after marrying her. However, his request is a bit difficult!
It’s not that slim and beautiful, but that too old, who would have an old girl over fifteen years old who is still in the boudoir? By the age of fifteen, either she has already left the house or has been engaged. If the rest is left, she is ugly, then by doing so, Bai Fan’s marriage is really a troublesome!
There has been no good news these days, but I am worried that the female hero Hong Fu Nu. A few days ago, in order to punish Li Jing for a big deal, he has driven him to the study room to sleep for several days. In this situation, it may be the evil he and Cheng Heizi committed. Humph! If Fan'er's marriage fails, you should sleep in the study room all year round! Hong Fu Nu thought of it hatefully! There is also that Cheng Heizi, you must deal with it next time you see it!
It's over, Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin are innocently caught in the shooting!
