"Yes."
Wen Zhaoming was not vague, but gave an affirmative answer.
Wen Jiahong frowned and asked:
"Brother Ming, it's not that we are stopping you from getting married. What are you going to do with your sister?"
"I We have made an agreement with Miss Wen that after we get engaged, Miss Su will take Yueyue to Sujiazhuang to enlighten her. Even after the marriage, Yueyue will follow us
Yueyue has been smart since she was a child. As the eldest brother, I don't want to delay her. If she can study and gain fame in the future, my mother's lineage will not be broken. ”
Wen Zhaoming replied seriously.
Although he made such a decision, there were certain external reasons, but he was more concerned about his sister, even if he sacrificed himself, As long as my sister can have a bright future, it's all worth it.
After hearing this, the village chief nodded and understood the reason for Brother Ming's choice, and then sighed and said:
"Brother Ming, as long as you are willing, we will definitely not stop you. We are just afraid that Miss Su has promised well now. What if she treats Yueyue and you harshly after you marry in the future?
To be honest, your marriage is a bit inappropriate. I'm afraid it will be you and Yueyue who will suffer in the future.
I have met Miss Su. She is a very talented person and has an independent mind. I am afraid that if she takes advantage of you and Yueyue, we will not be able to protect you.
Besides, you two are currently in your filial piety period, so you don’t need to be in such a hurry to get engaged. "
Village Chief Wen still has some knowledge. She always feels that this marriage is not very reliable.
Wen Zhaoming knows that there are some things that cannot be explained clearly, and the village chief will probably not be willing to help him. After all, if something happens in the future, the village chief will be blamed.
"Auntie the village chief, to tell you the truth, I was forced to do this.
Before winter, Yueyue was almost sold. After the first snow, Wen Xiaoxiao, the second-rate son of the village, She was wandering around my house during the day, but I shot an arrow to scare her away. Then two nights later, she came to climb over the wall of my house.
Fortunately, I planted an arrow in the wall to guard against thieves. I took out the wooden thorns and set a trap at the base of the wall, so that the other party could not succeed, but I didn't dare to sleep for a whole night.
You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days. , Besides, Yueyue is still young, what if she hurts Yueyue?
Miss Su’s relatives happen to be planning her marriage. After all, she is a child, and her future can be said to be bright, as long as she becomes Su. My lady’s true gentleman is not said to be rich and powerful, but he is also able to live comfortably.
Moreover, Miss Su had to observe filial piety due to the death of her parents, so she missed this year's provincial examination. If she could participate in the provincial examination, it would be more than enough to become a scholar. In the eyes of some people in the county, Miss Su was also a piece of fat.
So in order to avoid these calculations and to be able to control her own destiny, Miss Su proposed to me a marriage proposal. "
"Brother Ming, you stupid kid, didn't she make it clear that she wanted you to be a shield? What if she abandons you when she has a better choice after high school? Won’t the rest of your life be ruined? "
Wen Jiahong said anxiously.
"I know, but isn't this exactly my advantage? I just want to preserve the bloodline of my family. She needs someone to occupy the position of Zhengjun. If one day, I will simply give up this position. Instead, she will thank me and compensate me. No matter how I count, I will give up this position. There is no loss. ”
Wen Zhaoming smiled and said.
When Miss Su proposed that she wanted to get married to him, he thought about it carefully and repeatedly. Although the other party said that she liked him, he was indeed very happy to hear it. But he is very self-aware, and it is normal for him to be used as a shield.
“Hey! You kid.”
Victor Wen sighed.
After listening to Wen Zhaoming's words, she also knew that the child had made up his mind, and there was no point in trying to persuade her. The most important thing now was to settle the matter as soon as possible and let some thoughtful people I completely stopped thinking.
"Auntie the village chief, I'm causing trouble for you."
"I understand. Since it's your wish, I will do it according to your wishes, but you still have to have the proper etiquette. You can't do it just because You are a farmer, and Miss Su has settled the matter with her words."
Village Chief Wen also has his own insistence.
"Miss Su said that everything should be done according to etiquette." Wen Zhaoming said embarrassedly.
"Mother, Miss Su just said that the official media will be sent to the door tomorrow."
Wen Jiahong reminded.
"Okay, I'll ask Hong'er to pick you and Yueyue up early tomorrow morning, and I'll wait for her matchmaker to come."
The village chief said directly.
The matter on Wen Zhaoming's side has basically been settled, but the village chief didn't want to push some people, so he didn't publicize it everywhere.
Ripples on the other side was much more relaxed. After returning to his village, he began to make arrangements. The commanding officer An He and two guards went around, plus Su Zhuangtou. The first step in coming to propose marriage was to accept. When the matchmaker comes to the door on behalf of the Su family, he must prepare auspicious gifts.
Lianyi turned the tea lid in his hand and said helplessly:
"The winter is already halfway over, and we can't get the geese, so we have to prepare another gift."
An He glanced secretly at his young lady and really didn't want to talk. His young lady really thought about it and acted on it. After the news got out, no one knew how many people would secretly feel sad.
"Lotus and Cuihua went to pick up the matchmaker. Can you make it tomorrow?"
Ripple asked worriedly.
“.It should be possible!”
Hehua really didn’t want to answer her lady’s question.
The fastest journey from Qingshan County to Qingshan County is three days by horse carriage. One day and one night is enough time for warrior women like them to gallop on horseback. I wonder if they can still find the time to go to Wenjia Village to propose marriage after the matchmaker arrives. .
“It’s good if the person can come, and I’ll pay double the money for the subsequent matchmaker.”
"An He, prepare the jewelry, silks, furs and food you want to deliver. Don't delay your visit tomorrow."
"Yes, Miss."
An He She immediately agreed. Those who are rich and willful are her young ladies, but those who are young ladies can use them however they want.
Lianyi slept happily. When she woke up the next day, she washed up and changed into new clothes. After breakfast, she waited eagerly for the matchmaker.
At this time, Hehua, who was still galloping on his horse, looked at the matchmaker who was vomiting with some disgust. If the young lady was not in a hurry and the matchmaker had a good reputation, she would really not want to take him with him. This person came with too many things to do. The matchmaker also brought a big baggage, and that big baggage was on the back of another horse. Without this drag, she could go even faster.
"Have you not arrived at Sujiazhuang yet? Ugh"
The matchmaker asked with a pale face.
“Almost!”
Lotus said with some disgust.
“You’ve been talking all night, and I’m going to vomit my guts out again.”
After Mr. Shen finished speaking, he started to retch again. There was really nothing left to throw up.
"Mr. Shen, if you hadn't vomited all the way, maybe we would have arrived long ago."
"I vomited. I. I didn't want to either!"
