The eldest lady got out of the carriage in a hurry. Mother Hang who greeted her in front of the Chuihua Gate saw that her face was pale and her eyes were swollen, so she knew that Yuanniang's condition must be bad. As she followed the eldest lady into the house, she said hurriedly: "Uncle Zhongqin's house is here."

I asked two mothers, and said that I would like to invite the fifth lady, the tenth lady and the eleventh mother to come to Zhongqin's house to enjoy the spring in five days.

The eldest lady suddenly stopped and Hang's mother almost bumped into her.

The eldest wife of the Gan family in Uncle Zhongqin's house looked sharply, admiring the spring

Hang's mother nodded quickly: It was sent by the seventh lady of the Gan family. The invitation was very sincere, and the big breasts accepted the post.

As for the big-breasted woman, the eldest lady's voice was a bit harsh.

In the main room, Mother Hang smiled hurriedly and said, "I have made a list of the dowries of several ladies in front of me, and I am waiting for you to come back to discuss what to buy."

The eldest lady nodded slightly and quickly entered the house.

The big breasts hurriedly came forward: Mom, aunt, grandma, she

Tears welled up in the corners of the eldest wife's eyes again: it was a false alarm and she didn't want to talk too much about this matter.

That's good. I'm lucky, I still have two hundred-year-old He Wu in my dowry. Otherwise, I can give them to my aunt to replenish her health.

The eldest lady thought for a moment and said: That's fine. I can't get such a good thing for a while.

Da Nai asked Hang's mother to get it, and she helped the eldest lady sit on the big kang near the window in the west room. Then she took the tea from the maids and served it to the eldest lady herself.

The eldest lady took a sip of tea and said: Where is the eldest sir?

Da Nai smiled and said: He was dragged to drink by his classmates. He also asked the boy outside to stay at his old man's house at night.

The eldest lady's face was ashen, and the tea cup in her hand started to tremble.

The big tits kept silent and kept silent, not daring to say anything.

After a while, the eldest lady's expression slowly softened.

I heard that the seventh lady of the Gan family of Uncle Zhongqin’s Mansion sent invitations to Wuniang and others, and wanted to invite them to enjoy the spring.

The big breasts responded quickly and said with a smile: I'm just waiting for my mother to come back to make up her mind.

Let them go. The eldest lady looked calm and suddenly changed the subject. How did it go when I asked you to buy dowries for them?

Da Bo took out a thick list from her sleeve: I drew this up when I had nothing to do, what do you think?

The eldest lady read it very carefully. However, after reading a few lines, the little maid reported: Madam, the eldest master sent someone to ask you if you are back. If you are back, I would like to ask how your aunt is doing.

After hearing this, the eldest lady's face softened and she said: Come back to the eldest master, nothing happened.

The little maid responded and left.

The eldest lady handed the order to Da Nai: You are very thoughtful, so I will buy according to the order you drew up. If the money is not enough, you can add more. This matter will be done in these two days.

Two days ago, I said there was no rush and I would buy it slowly. The most important thing was not to buy anymore. Why did I just buy it today?

I thought about how my mother-in-law looked when she came back, and I felt something in my heart.

Big tits smiled and said yes.

The eldest wife told the eldest daughter again: I want Mama Hang to help me with something.

Naturally, the big breasts should be the answer. When Hang's mother brought the Hewu over, she smiled and said: If you need anything, just ask her to do it.

The eldest wife gave He Wu to Mrs. Xu and sent it to her eldest aunt.

Mother Xu responded and left.

The eldest wife asked the eldest daughter to get the almanac. While she was flipping through the almanac, she told Hang's mother: "Go to the house of Mr. Huang Renhuang from the Ministry of Punishments, and tell him that the date of the appointment will be on this day."

By the ninth day of March, the ninth day of March was fine.

Da Nai and Hang's mother were both surprised.

Isn't this too urgent? There are less than nine days until the test date.

If there were some doubts about Big Breasts just now, now I am certain.

She didn't dare to ask any more questions and said with a smile: Then I have to prepare.

On the day of the appointment, the woman will entertain the man's guests for a big meal.

Hang's mother even went out of her way to say congratulations to the eldest wife, and then left with a smile on her face.

The eldest lady did not look happy, but had a hint of fatigue in her expression: We just moved in, everything is new, just hang two red lanterns at the door. As for the banquet, everything is sold in Yanjing, so it is expensive.

Just come back and let the mother-in-law on the stove do it, but it’s not like she doesn’t know how to do it.

Big Tits smiled and nodded: I will make arrangements right away.

The eldest lady hummed, and then said, you can go to Mrs. Wang's house early tomorrow morning and ask her to be our matchmaker. You might as well be more sincere and invite her over.

Big Tits agreed, and then the eldest lady called Coral and Jade to come in and change her clothes. Big Tits wisely withdrew.

In the evening, everyone knew that the eldest wife had betrothed Wu Niang to Mr. Qian.

Wu Niang's face turned pale.

Ziwei and Ziyuan stood aside and did not dare to say anything.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she found out.

It seems that the prince of the Mao Kingdom has a problem.

Eleven Niang said with a smile: Even if there is a whole room, it can't hold up a few thin banknotes.

That's true. Dongqing smiled, took a dry handkerchief and wiped Eleven Niang's feet again, and then took stockings to put on her. You think, if Mr. Qian is nominated for the gold medal, won't our family have a Jinshi?

uncle

The Dazhou Township Examination is held in October every year, the General Examination is in mid-March of the following year, and the Palace Examination is on the first day of April.

Just then, Amber came in with some clothes in her hands. She smiled and said, "There are so many people taking part in the examination this year."

Dongqing nodded: "If our uncle's second wife's fourth uncle and Mr. Qian all win, then our family will be a third-level scholar."

Amber covered her mouth and smiled: Our family has been a Jinshi for a long time. It is wrong to say that father and son are both Jinshi. My uncle cannot be a Jinshi. Oh, there are many Jinshi in our family.

Everyone laughed.

The old man over there frowned when he heard this: Is it too soon? Who can get engaged at this time? Let’s wait until May.

There are times when the master is confused. The eldest lady smiled and said, in May, the new Jinshi will come out. It’s a matter of debate whether we can get this marriage or not.

The elder disagreed: If the man named Qian is so short-sighted, then it’s okay not to have this marriage.

It depends on you. Is face more important or my daughter's future? The eldest lady said angrily, "I have the final say on this matter." Then she said, "I have something to discuss with you." The eldest lady smiled and said, "You also know that the Qian man's family is poor.

I'm afraid that Wu Niang will suffer hardship in her past life, so I want to give her a thousand taels of silver as a packing case. What do you think?

Seeing the eldest lady being so generous, the eldest man was naturally very happy and nodded repeatedly: Okay, okay, okay.

On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Huang came to the door early in the morning with silver ingots, Ruyi gold hairpins, eight-color fruit tea and other items. She sat down and drank a cup of tea before Mrs. Wang, the matchmaker of the Luo family, arrived.

The two of them exchanged gold-colored red envelopes with the words Wuniang and Mr. Qian written on them. Mrs. Huang handed over the things she brought to the Luo family, and had a drink in the inner house with Da Nai accompanying her.

During this period, I mentioned Mr. Qian’s residence: I rented a two-room house next to the Imperial College, and I couldn’t find a house for a while. I had to wait until May to discuss the wedding date. I just finished the exam at that time, so it was a double happiness.

The eldest wife thought, if Mr. Qian really gets the Jinshi, he will have to take the Shujishi exam. If he gets the Shujishi exam again, he will have to stay in Yanjing for another three years. If he doesn't pass the exam, he will have to stay in Yanjing.

Hou Que. If it’s quick, you’ll be able to find a job in July or August. If it’s slow, it may not be until next spring.

She was calculating in her mind and said with a smile: May is coming soon, why not wait until September to see if there are any good days.

It is common for a wealthy family to get married within one and a half years, and it is also normal for four to five years. Mrs. Huang was very satisfied to receive such a word from the Luo family, and she agreed with a smile.

Wu Niang's marriage has been decided.

The next day, Da Nai divided the fruits, tea and other items brought by Mr. Qian into two portions, and sent someone to deliver one portion each to the second master and the third master.

When the second wife and the third wife found out, they all came to congratulate him.

Wu Niang hid in the house and refused to come out.

Ten Niang and Eleven Niang came out to salute the elders.

Everyone chatted and laughed and went to Wu Niang's place. Wu Niang stood there shyly and said nothing, but Eleven Niang remembered the sound of breaking porcelain she heard last night.

The second wife took Wu Niang's hand and said with a smile: Our fifth lady is lucky. She married a juren as soon as she got married. She will definitely earn a phoenix crown and habei in the future.

The third wife also smiled and said: This is also my sister-in-law’s blessing.

The eldest lady laughed and saw that Wu Niang's face was so red that she was bleeding. She smiled and invited everyone to go to her room.

Everyone sat down to drink tea and chat, had lunch, and started playing cards and gossiping. Seven Niangs and Eleven Niangs accompanied each other to look at the cards, while Ten Niangs sat aside and cracked melon seeds.

After a few rounds, Qi Niang couldn't sit still, she winked at Eleven Niang, and then said to the second wife: Mom, we want to go see the fifth sister.

The second wife was doing something, and when she heard this she waved her hand: Go, go, don’t bother me here.

Qiniang responded with a smile, took Eleven Niang's hand and raised her chin towards Eleven Niang.

It means asking her if she is going.
