Chapter 1314 Persuasion
The third child's face turned dark immediately, and he wanted to hit the wall, "Oh, I'm only thirteen years old, thirteen years old, I'm still a child, what's the reason for mother to be anxious? It's not like she doesn't have a daughter-in-law, or a grandson, no, I have to talk to my mother, I don’t want to marry a wife so early.”
After saying that, there was a gust of wind and the figure disappeared.
After the Lantern Festival this year, the second and third sons snuck away after hearing the news that Zhuo was going to choose a wife for them. However, this time to catch Le Ying, Chu Jingqi ordered the second and third sons to personally take action and escort her back to Beijing.
As a result, after returning to Beijing, Mrs. Zhuo refused to let them go, and even pointed at the foreheads of the second and third children, threatening them, "If you two brats dare to run away from home again, just try, I will drive you two brats out." When I go home, I won’t recognize you anymore, huh..."
The third child was so frightened that he did not dare to play missing again.
As for the second child, it doesn't matter whether he is in the capital or not. As long as he is given a quiet place to practice martial arts, he will be satisfied.
As for marrying a wife, he didn't care. Anyway, his mother wouldn't just give him a crooked melon and cracked jujube.
Appearance and temperament just need to be passable.
Marrying a wife, Ma, is nothing more than to warm the bed and carry on the family line. A woman can do both of these things. The rest, as long as she is good-looking, has a gentle temper, knows how to serve him, and can catch his eye.
Just look at his mother's heartless temper, couldn't she have lived a loving life with his father for so many years?
Looking at his father and mother, and then his eldest brother and sister-in-law, in fact, after thinking about it, he did not object to getting married early.
The second child obediently listened to Mr. Zhuo's words and didn't go anywhere at home. He went to practice martial arts in the orchard before dawn all day long. The peach trees had just bloomed, bright and dazzling, but every time he went there, , in a short while, the ground will be covered with a layer of petals.
After the sun came out, after practicing martial arts, I went to say hello to Mr. Zhuo, then had breakfast with my mother and father, and went to read a book.
Although, every time he had breakfast, his father would stare at him fiercely, wishing that he would disappear quickly, but he still sat beside his mother casually, enjoying the food she brought him. He was jealous. pleasure.
The third child is different from the second child.
Ever since he knew that Mrs. Zhuo wanted to show him his wife, he had been eager to escape from the capital. Unfortunately, after being threatened by Mr. Zhuo in a few words, he lost the courage.
Then, he hid out of sight all day long and didn't even go to greet him. No matter how much Zhuo wanted to find him, he couldn't find anyone. Every time he sent someone to call him, he escaped faster than a cat.
But today, Mrs. Zhuo had just finished handling the housework and sent away the housekeepers. Her youngest son rushed in like a gust of wind, muttering, "Mom, my sister-in-law said, you really want to Are you looking for a wife for me and my second brother?”
"You brat, when you look at your wife, you can't tell the truth." Zhuo gave him an annoyed look, and then poured a cup of tea for her youngest son herself, "You came here? You're already sweating. Come on, have a drink." Tea, soothes the throat ”
Jie'er pushed away the teacup, hugged Mrs. Zhuo's arm, and said coquettishly, "My son is almost depressed to death, why should he drink tea? Mom, my son is telling you the truth, I don't want to see my wife so early, so just let me I've been playing for a few years. I promise you, when I'm eighteen, no, twenty, let's be twenty-two. When I get to twenty-two, I will definitely bring you a beautiful and lovely little daughter-in-law back to show you. How? Like? ”
Twenty-two?
It will still be nine years, why can't we wait for her to die?
Mrs. Zhuo shook her head and pulled her arm out of her youngest son's hand, "No, I can only meet my wife this year. However, I can promise that we can get married two years later. Otherwise, it will be too late to meet my daughter-in-law, and all the good girls will be married to others." I picked them out and left crooked melons and cracked dates. I don’t like them.” The world is so big, there are many good girls, not in the capital, but also in other places. You see, my father met you when he went to Jiangnan for fun. When he went to Jiangnan that year, if he hadn't met you, he would have married someone else. , can you live such a happy life? ”
The third child was indeed a clever guy. He even used Zhuo and Chu Xuanyu as examples to persuade Zhuo.
Not to mention, Mrs. Zhuo was really moved.
Seeing this, the third child smiled inwardly and kept saying, "Mom, think about it, if you decide a wife for me now, then if I go out to do business and meet a girl I like, Then you tell me, should I refund this daughter-in-law at home or not? If I refund her, I will break her heart. It will also ruin the girl's reputation, and the two families will turn from in-laws to enemies, but don't retreat. I can't bear the girl I like to be my concubine, not to mention that in our Chu family, my father is not married. Concubine, my eldest brother didn’t take a concubine, how can I take a concubine, mother, you think so.”
If Zhuo had some thoughts before, after being talked about by the third child at length, her thoughts were so relaxed that she almost fell out of her mind.
"Mom, my son promises that I will find you a beautiful, gentle, and virtuous daughter-in-law in the future. She will never disgrace our status as the daughter-in-law of Prince An County." The third child continued to work hard.
Mrs. Zhuo pursed her lips and gave him a fierce look, "We haven't found anyone yet, so you are brazenly saying that you will not disgrace your status as the daughter-in-law of Prince An County. If you find a woman from the world in the future, she will be worthy of it." Become the third young lady of Anjun Prince’s Palace?”
Although she had no regard for family background when looking for her daughter-in-law, it was clear that her younger son was fooling her here, so Mrs. Zhuo still scolded him with a straight face.
However, in the end, Mrs. Zhuo was persuaded by the third son's sharp tongue and promised him not to let them see his wife for the time being.
"However, we can't wait until twenty-two. Twenty-two is too late. Just sixteen, sixteen at the latest. Your eldest brother also got married at sixteen and became a father at eighteen. He is twenty-four this year. The child is six years old.”
The third child saw the stern look on his mother's face and had no choice but to comply.
If he didn't agree, I would definitely continue to help him see his wife. In any case, he finally persuaded me and delayed the time of seeing his wife for three years.
Three more years, hey, he can go outside and play again.
As soon as the third child thought that he could have fun in the world again, he happily said goodbye, left his mother aside, and happily went to find the second child.
"Second brother, my mother has agreed not to let us see my wife now. Let's go. I heard that the Situ family in the southwest is going to hold a martial arts competition. The winner will be given the Situ family's sword Fengming as a gift. , Second brother, let’s go take a look too.”
As soon as the third child entered the door, he saw the second child reading a book, so he hid opposite him and started chattering.
The second child's eyes were fixed on the book without moving. He turned a page of the book and said, "Then did you get the news? In addition to the sword Fengming, there is also the eldest young lady of the Situ family. ”
