Although engagement is not as good as marriage, it is not a trivial matter. Even if it is not as popular as marriage, a banquet will be held, and close relatives and friends will still be notified.

Guo was relieved, Xie was angry, and when he arrived at Mrs. Qiao, he was angry and embarrassed.

Mrs. Chen is now leaving Beijing, and the nephew Xu, the nephew, has never been close to the Qiao family. Old Mrs. Qiao should not be unable to live except to hold her breath.

It was neither too early nor too late. The day after receiving the invitation from the Shen family, Mr. Qiao San’s letter came to Beijing, which talked about the engagement of the eldest daughter.

Old Mrs. Qiao knew that she felt depressed again.

The reason why I was not good at raising an elder before was to marry Chen Cang and Xu was because there was a concubine sister who had not discussed the relationship with the third family. Looking at the candidates in the letter, they were just new juren, not official families, so Old Mrs. Qiao and Master Qiao lost interest in this marriage.

Mr. Qiao was dissatisfied with his younger brother: "The third brother is really studying and studying. Even if his niece is born in a illegitimate family, he should not be so careless... He really doesn't know the kindness of good people. The two families I've looked for before are nothing."

Old Mrs. Qiao gave her son a blank look and did not answer the question.

Master Qiao is not of high rank, so what is the right marriage for his niece? Apart from the widower, he is physically disabled and has no way to talk about other people's marriage.

He doesn't love his niece, but Master Qiao San loves his daughter.

Master Qiao San kept his son in Beijing and took his daughter who should have been married to the office, which was to show that he did not want his brother to interfere in the marriage between his children.

When Old Mrs. Qiao thought of this, she felt bitter in her heart and sighed quietly.

The family is in a state of decline, and the sons are still not in harmony. Even if Chen Cang and his wife don’t give her the face of her aunt, she can’t stay away from her for the future of their children and grandchildren…

Chen Zhou's letters arrived in Beijing at about the same time as the letters of Qiao's letters.

Although Chen Cang was not the kind of petty person, he couldn't help frowning after reading the letter from the second master.

Chen Yan, the son of Shen Qing, the grandson of Shaw's son, and the great-grandson of Shaw's brother, passed the provincial examination today and was chosen by Master Qiao San as the son-in-law of the eldest daughter.

Last year, when Xu came back from Songjiang, he mentioned the Chen Yan brothers to her husband. Although Xu did not meet Chen Yan brothers in person, it may be worthy of the master of the Zongfang family and pleaded with him. These brothers have something to be considered by.

Although Shaw did evil at that time, the Chen Yan brothers kept the Shen family's blood. It was not surprising that the master of the Zongfang family was willing to make peace.

It’s just that the old man in the second house was left with him. The second house did not nod and let Chen Yan return to his hometown, so the other house leaders were not qualified to say more.

If Chen Luo is still alive and Chen Yan's brothers have no character, it will be fine to return to the clan of the common branch, which will not hinder the legitimate branch. Now the younger generation of the legitimate branch is the heirs who come from the front of the house, and one is in a cradle and weak, so it is not advisable to have more trouble. Otherwise, when the older generation passes, there will be no disputes.

Even if he had no intention of letting the Chen Yan brothers return to his hometown, Chen Cang could not reach out to suppress them. It was just a matter of two things.

But Chen Yan passed the provincial examination and became the son-in-law of the Qiao family. Even if he did not go to Beijing this year, he would always go to Beijing to take the exam.

Chen Cang couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, not annoyed the Qiao family. Even if the two families are relatives, they are two families. There is no reason why the Qiao family chooses a son-in-law and asks the Shen family to nod. What he is annoyed is the second master. Since Master Qiao San asked about the second master and was interested in the Shen family, the second master should not nod.

In this way, it seems that the Shen family recognized the actions of Master Qiao San, and they would not be upset in the future.

The eldest master was upset, so he went back to the backyard and gave the second master's letter to Xu.

After reading the letter from home, Xu shook his head: "Uncle II has always been weak-hearted, and I'm afraid he's unbearable."

Since Master Qiao San learned about the grudges between the two families, he took the initiative to ask Master Second, he was to hand over the choice of this marriage to the Shen family. If Master Qiao San opposed it, Master Qiao San would never accept the marriage, otherwise he would have a rift with the second wife of the Shen family.

If the second master understands people, he shouldn't nod and cause trouble for his own family.

After all, the Qiao family is the home of several masters, and the only one of the elders of the mother tribe is in Beijing, which is always unavoidable.

While the second master nodded, he also accepted the Chen Yan brothers in disguise.

If the Chen Yan brothers use this relative relationship in the future and climb along the way, this will be the one who is disgusting.

But this is all a trivial matter. Unless Chen Yan has a shocking talent, he would not be able to pass the imperial examination, even if he was a Jinshi, he would have to endure it. He was not qualified to make the master and Xu afraid.

Seeing the small details, what the master and Xu were worried about was not the Chen Yan brothers, but the second master's temperament

"Hey, I don't know whether it's right or wrong to nod him to let him go out... I thought he could take the initiative to ask for leaving Beijing, but he was sensible, but he didn't expect that he would be so indecisive in his work and could not handle such small things well..." The master sighed.

Even though the eldest and second brothers are only five years apart, the eldest brother is like his father. Even if the eldest brother is dissatisfied with this younger brother, he still cares about it.

Xu knew that her husband was worried and comforted him: "The second uncle is an auxiliary official, and there is a master in Beijing, so he can't make any mistakes. If it's really a matter of officialdom, there are two masters whom the master is looking for..."

The master said, "It's too late to regret it now. Let's take a look. If you still don't do this, you will want to transfer him back in three years... Even if you are in Beijing, as long as you are safe, you can worry less..."

The more expectations I had for my younger brother, the more disappointed the master is now.

Thinking of Shen Rui and Chen Jue's age, and thinking about the fourth brother in his baby, the master sighed: "It's my luxury. My second brother is already 40 years old. I still expect him to change his temperament. It's not just a daydream.

A few days passed by, and in a blink of an eye, November 30th, and the next day was the day that the Chen Yang and his family decided.

The Shen clan, Qiao, and several relatives of the families received the post and gave a reply. They will come to have a drink tomorrow

After the marriage between the two families was settled, Yang Shen finally returned to normal. He was no longer sarcastic to Shen Rui, but he was closer than before.

If Mao Chi had been resentful of these two people's closeness before, he had nothing to say now. After all, these two men became brother-in-law and sister-in-law. He could only sigh that he had no girl, otherwise Shen Rui's character would be reassuring.

Shen Rui remembered what Liu Ya had asked before, and he had never had time to mention it before. After returning from the academy, he went directly to the main room.

The third wife is here, and is discussing with Xu about the next day's drinking.

Seeing Shen Rui coming, the third wife smiled and said, "The second brother is going to get engaged tomorrow. Are you happy?"

Xu was by the side, and he also looked at Shen Rui with a smile, as if waiting for him to answer.

Shen Rui looked at the faint discoloration on Xu's face and nodded, "Happy."

But the eldest sister of the Yang family is too young. If it is fifteen or sixteen, she can assist in housework when entering the door. Shen Rui is not afraid of "early marriage".

He responded seriously, but the third wife couldn't tease him anymore, so she just covered her mouth and smiled.

Seeing that he came over without even changing his clothes, it was obvious that something was wrong, the third wife stood up and resigned.

Shen Rui personally sent the third wife to the door, but turned around and said to Xu: "My mother will be here tomorrow. Can you bring Dongxi here and let her go with Sister Hongyun and the others..."

Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "Is she telling you that she wants to follow him to the Yang family?"

Shen Rui shook his head and said, "Dongxi was trained by Aunt Hong. The most important rule is to mention this. How can I mention this? I want her to go over and see. I listen to both sides. In addition to being in front of the guests, I also want to inquire about the reputation of the servants... If there is something wrong, I will always reveal my own behavior outside..."

Xu was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "Although it is not a bad thing for you to be so cautious, it is too late to remember this at this time... I will get engaged tomorrow, but I will find out that it is not a bad thing, but I can still regret it.

Shen Rui said embarrassedly: "I haven't thought about repentance, but I just want to know what to do. If there are really shortcomings there, it will be good to find a way to make up for it in the past few years. It will save my mother from worrying about it in the future..."

After hearing what Shen Rui said, Xu became worried.

Yang Tian looked at Shuangli, but his biological mother was dead and his stepmother was young, so he was less disciplined.

But these words are not good to say in front of Shen Rui, otherwise it would be deficient in his heart and would affect the couple's relationship in the future.

Xu said, "I have all these, so how can I worry about my second brother? You have not looked very good these two days. Isn't studying too hard? Is it hard to eat hot tofu in a hurry. It is a good thing to be motivated, and you should also cherish your health."

Shen Rui said: "I was too lazy to study before. Yang Shen and I have passed the college entrance examination...

Seeing that he was so strong, Xu did not stop him, but said, "The road to imperial examinations is long, and you must have a successful conclusion in your heart, it will not take a year or two..."

Because Shen Rui mentioned Dongxi, Xu said, "Dongxi's girl is only twenty years younger than the next year. She is not only serving you carefully, but also being given by your aunt Hong. You can serve as a good place for your life..."

Shen Rui had already asked about Changshou, and looking at that look, he also had an intention to Dongxi.

Shen Rui had already decided to fulfill the two of them. He originally planned to talk to Xu after this passage. He said so quickly, "The longevity of my side is around me for three or four years. I thought that after the New Year, I would match Dong Xi with him."

After hearing this, Xu said disagreement: "You can think that their marriage is a good thing, but you should not be a random match like this... They are close friends around you, and the managers are all staring at it. It is more appropriate to point them separately...

Just as marriage is needed in the officialdom, marriage is also needed in the family and children.

Although Changshou and Liu Ya came from outside, and had no father or mother alone in Shen's house, they are now the "new rich" in the eyes of the servants. One is a servant around Shen Rui, and the other is the girl in charge in Shen Rui's yard.

The two have reached the age of marriage again, and there are many managers inside and outside watching, and someone has already asked to come to Xu.

Xu knew that Shen Rui had an idea, so he didn't want to interfere in these matters. Now it seems that Shen Rui was smart, but now he is a man, and he doesn't think about things thoroughly.

Shen Rui heard the meaning of Xu's words, but he didn't want to change his mind. He was just a little regretful that he shouldn't have gone past Xu. Fortunately, Xu is a generous person, otherwise it would be too unpleasant to make decisions directly like this.

Shen Rui said: "I was not fully thoughtful, I just thought that Dongxi was meticulous in taking care of people. Longevity was given by the teacher. He was with me when I was in the Zen temple a few years ago. In the future, Dongxi was the wife, which was also his great blessing...

Xu was still surprised. He looked at Shen Rui, but he was relieved. He was not worried that Shen Rui would "conquer" the family manager, but worried that he would not be able to marry Dongxi...
