Chapter 570 Marriage
The words have come to this point, and if Xia Zihan doesn't accept them, he will break the hearts of Chu Xuanyu and Zhuo.
Xia Zihan was busy and blessed, "Thank you dad, thank you mom."
The smile on her face was as beautiful and dazzling as a blooming flower, and her heart felt as sweet and waxy as if she had eaten honey.
Chu Jingqi quietly approached her, held her hand, looked at her, and raised the corners of her mouth.
Chu Jinglan glanced at her several times, with bursts of jealousy flashing deep in her eyes. Especially when she saw Chu Jingqi secretly holding Xia Zihan's hand, she became extremely envious and jealous.
She dreams of marrying a man who likes her, loves her, and dotes on her, but... because of the failure of the second wife of the Chu family, not to mention that such a man is difficult to find, even a man with a little bit of status and status cannot. Will want to marry her.
Her eldest sister Chu Jingxiu was able to marry the number one scholar only because her grandmother was quick to act. If she was a little slower, her eldest sister's position as the number one scholar's wife would be taken away by others.
Ever since Chu Jingxiu entered the Min family, she thought that she would become the wife of the number one scholar, and she would live a happy life with the number one scholar in the future.
Unexpectedly, the aunt and sister-in-law of the Min family were not good people.
The emperor gave Min Sibo a Number One Scholar's Mansion to live in, and Min Sibo's aunt and his family moved into the Number One Scholar's Mansion with Min Sibo.
The Min family's aunt still controlled the middle minister in the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion. In the mansion, she suppressed Chu Jingxiu everywhere. Chu Jingxiu wanted to manage the housework, but after several family civil wars, Chu Jingxiu Chu Jingxiu suffered a lot, and was scolded by Min's aunt for being unfilial, disobedient to her, and asking Min Sibo to divorce her, etc. Chu Jingxiu was so frightened that Chu Jingxiu never dared to go against Min's aunt again.
The reason why Aunt Min wanted to divorce Chu Jingxiu was because she wanted to curry favor with the Zhuo family at first. However, she was rejected by the Zhuo family and threatened not to associate with Chu Jingxiu.
Aunt Min felt that it was not a good deal for her nephew, the number one scholar, to marry a woman with a small dowry, no beauty, but a notorious reputation.
The Min family's aunt wanted Min Sibo to divorce Chu Jingxiu and marry a girl from a wealthy and well-connected family.
Fortunately, Min Sibo has a pure heart. No matter what Min's aunt says, he will never leave his wife.
Therefore, Aunt Min's family disliked Chu Jingxiu and made things difficult for her.
Chu Jingxiu's life in the Min family was difficult and turbulent, but he did not dare to be let go by Min Sibo.
And the sister-in-law of the Min family is even more hateful.
As long as she took a fancy to something from Chu Jingxiu and took it away without saying a word, some of the good things Chu Jingxiu gave her as a dowry would fall into the hands of the Min family's sister-in-law.
Chu Jingxiu didn't dare to refuse or say anything.
At the beginning, she said it and refused, but Aunt Min's family scolded her for being unkind to her sister-in-law, treated her badly, and threatened her with divorce, forcing Chu Jingxiu to swallow her anger and live a life worse than death. day.
Chu Jinglan didn't want to be like her eldest sister. She saw Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan loving each other, and she also wanted to be like them, find a good man worthy of her life, and live in love for the rest of her life.
After receiving the new year's money, Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi accompanied the twins outside to play and build snowmen.
Hearing the laughter coming from outside, Chu Jinglan also went out to play together.
There were only four adults and some maids left in the room. Mrs. Chu glanced at Zhuo coldly and asked her, "What do you think of Jing Lan's marriage? Have you found a suitable family? Let's see her again during the New Year." If you don’t go out, you will become an old girl next year.”
"Mom, I found several companies and asked people to come and ask, but they didn't agree, and I couldn't do anything. I can't put a knife to their necks and force them to marry Jinglan, right?" Mrs. Zhuo looked helpless. , helpless.
Mrs. Chu originally guaranteed Chu Jinglan's marriage and found it for her herself. However, Mrs. Chu searched for more than a year and could not find anyone willing to marry Chu Jinglan. After hitting the wall many times and losing face many times, Mrs. Chu abandoned her face, pretended to be a mother-in-law, and left the matter to Mr. Zhuo.
Mrs. Zhuo didn't want to delay Chu Jinglan for the rest of her life. Her grudges with Mrs. Yu and Chu Haoyu were the grievances of the previous generation. Although Mrs. Zhuo didn't like Chu Haoyu's children, she was not cruel enough to delay her for the rest of her life.
She took some time out and went out to ask around for a few houses. She had a son at home who happened to be engaged, and the family conditions were also good.
However, every time she came to the door and started talking, when people heard that the other girl was Chu Haoyu's daughter, their faces changed drastically and they expressed their unwillingness.
If people don't want to, there's nothing she can do.
It's not like she didn't look for it.
No one wants to marry Chu Jinglan, can you blame her?
Mrs. Chu was angry and her face turned dark. She wanted to scold her a few words, but looking at Mrs. Chu who was sitting next to him with a gloomy face, she swallowed back the curses.
Then, she looked at Chu Xuanyu again, "What about Jing Wen's marriage? You haven't found a suitable girl's family yet?"
"His reputation is so bad, who is willing to marry a girl to him?" Chu Xuanyu said lightly.
Mrs. Chu was so angry that she almost fell down, "You are his uncle, do you want him to live a single life without a wife?"
"I don't want to see him be alone all his life, but there must be a girl willing to marry him." Chu Xuanyu said in a nonchalant manner, "Or, go to the village and marry him a village girl. Now, the entire capital, and only the village I am willing to marry him.”
Mrs. Chu's face was twitching with anger.
She also knew in her heart that after Chu Jingwen got into those two jobs, his reputation was extremely bad. No one with a little respect would marry a good girl to him.
At present, with Chu Jingwen's current situation, he can only marry a village girl.
Or... let Chu Jingwu help find one for his younger brother. Nowadays, Chu Jingwu is also a young general. With so many soldiers under his command, there will always be a girl to marry at home.
Mrs. Chu thought deeply, and the next day she sent someone to tell Chu Jingwu that he must find a wife for Chu Jingwen.
And Chu Jinglan... Mrs. Chu thought that this year was another imperial examination year, and her eyes were fixed on some children from poor families.
After the New Year, she sent people to investigate several famous poor students in the school. Later, she actually caught a poor student who passed the Jinshi for Chu Jinglan.
After his flash marriage to Chu Jinglan, the poor boy was sent to another county by the emperor and became a small county magistrate.
Although the salary was not much, with the dowry of 10,000 taels of silver purchased by the old man for Chu Jinglan, life was not too miserable.
The couple, without the parents-in-law by their side, lived a loving and supportive life, which was much better than Chu Jingxiu's life.
Of course, this is something for later, let’s not mention it for now.
