The powerful minister favors the small farmer's wife alone

Chapter 229 Picking a Wife for Mr. Hasan

In the past few days, Master Ye Shan has received dozens of invitations every day. People who have heard of it and those who have not heard of it all want to invite him to dinner.

Mr. Ye Shan picked some irresistible banquets to go to the banquet, but he declined the rest, especially those who wanted to marry him, he didn't go to any of them.

Every time Mrs. Ye came to talk to Xu Zhixiang, she was both happy and sad, "Oh, my son is good everywhere, but the marriage is too worrying. He is 35 after the new year, and he doesn't want to think about it. Marry a wife. Ever since my unmarried daughter-in-law passed away, he has been alone. I was in poor health a few years ago, and I didn’t have the energy to worry about him. Now I want to help him find someone, but I am afraid that I will fall in love with him. He doesn't match."

Saying that, he looked at the youngest Su who was playing with Su Lan and Rui'er in the yard, "Your husband is not much older than my son, your son has become a general, and your daughter is so outstanding. people envy."

Xu Zhixiang smiled, "Auntie, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Ye Shanchang has his own opinions at first glance, so don't worry. Why don't you find a chance to ask him what kind of wife he wants to marry? I also met him in the capital these days Many people can help inquire about the family's character."

Mrs. Ye regained her spirits when she heard this, "Why do you need to ask him? Since ancient times, the marriage of children is the order of parents. I just want to find a virtuous one. It doesn't matter if my mother's family is rich or not, but I have to read and know One has to be able to stand on one's feet. I'm old, and I don't have a good life for a few years. In the future, she will have to take care of the house. It's best not to be married. If you can see it with my son It's okay to marry someone before."

Xu Zhixiang kept them in mind one by one, and went through the people she recognized in her mind.

Because of the Xiangyi shop she opened, there are many wives and ladies who come and go every day, and she really thought of a few suitable candidates for her.

Because of Ye Shan's old age, those who are quite young and unmarried are all old girls, some are eccentric and difficult to get along with, and some are due to changes in their natal families.

Those with weird personalities are definitely not acceptable, so only those who have never been married for various reasons.Although Mrs. Ye said that she doesn't mind her future daughter-in-law being married, Mr. Ye Shan has never been married before, so it is best to find someone who has never married.

Soon, Xu Zhixiang thought of someone.

The former owner of the Ji Mansion was a general. Because of years of fighting abroad, it is common for him not to return for three to five years. After the old lady passed away, there was only one son and one daughter in the mansion besides his wife.

When the girl was about to marry at the age of 16, General Ji died in battle, and after three years of mourning, the Ji family also declined because of this, and the husband's family resigned because they didn't want to wait.

After Xiaoya was 19 years old, it was difficult to find her husband's family. After finally finding one, her mother passed away again.

After another three years of filial piety, she turned 22 years old. This time, the proposing marriage was either someone who wanted to marry her to take care of the children left by her deceased wife, or an old bachelor who couldn't marry a wife. Ms. Ji simply didn't marry.

But the sister-in-law who stayed in the mansion always accused Sang and scolded Huai, so she left Ji's house.

In order to make a living, Ms. Ji bought a piece of land outside the city, built a few houses, opened a private school for girls here, and taught some girls from better-off families to read.These girls have no chance to go to government schools, and their parents are reluctant to ask their husbands to teach at home.

Miss Ji's girls' private school does not charge high fees, and most of the lessons are literacy and bookkeeping. After a year or so of learning, it is enough to be a housekeeper after marriage. It is very popular with some families with better conditions and do not expect their daughters to become talented women. .

It’s just that Ms. Ji is 29 years old now, and her natal family has also been in decline. Although Master Ye Shan hasn’t had the imperial examination yet, he will be the No. .
