Everyone in the family has talked about it to this point. If he refuses again, he will be ungrateful.

"Okay, I will live at home during this time."

Seeing that Bai Sheng agreed, the family was not surprised. Bai Sheng has always had a submissive temperament and didn't know how to reject others. His temper was a bit left-wing before, but Zhou Yu corrected him little by little. Now he looks like a complete mess. Bookish.

Looking at his second brother, Zhou Yu remembered that his eldest brother was the same age as his second brother. He was already twenty-one this year. The eldest brother was already engaged, but there was no movement from the second brother's side. Should he also give it to the second brother? Are you looking at each other?

However, this matter has to be discussed with my mother in private, and there is no need to say it in front of my second brother now.

After the family had dinner, they sat and chatted for a while, and then each went back to their respective rooms.

After the two brothers left, Zhou Yu, who was about to leave, was still sitting there. The couple knew that their daughter must have something to say, and they both looked at Zhou Yu.

"Dad, Mom, I think the second brother's marriage must be put on the agenda. He is now twenty-one. Although he will take the exam next year, it does not prevent him from deciding on his marriage now. A good girl will not wait for anyone. .”

After hearing what their daughter said, the couple remembered that the second son was the same age as the eldest son, and he was indeed quite a lot older.

"It's still a fish, if you think about it, I don't even think about it."

In fact, the couple's feelings for Bai Sheng are the same as before. Ever since Zhou Yu was born, Bai Sheng has been a translucent presence at home. It's the same now. The couple has always been consistent with him, but they always have such a feeling in their hearts when they treat Zhou Yan. A hint of guilt.

They knew that although Zhou Yan lived a prosperous life in the Bai family before, it was all his fault. In fact, his life in the Bai family was not easy, so he treated Zhou Yan slightly better than Bai Sheng. , but it can't compare to Zhou Yu's status in the hearts of the couple.

"Don't tell your second brother about this in advance. Let's put together a list of suitable girls first, and then let your second brother choose on his own."

"Well, what mother said makes sense."

It's really hard to tell Bai Sheng's current marriage. His surname is Bai. In the eyes of outsiders, he is just the adopted son of the Zhou family. Those young ladies from high-ranking families can't even look down on Zhou Yan, the eldest son, let alone Bai Sheng. They have adopted a son, so the mother and daughter really put a lot of effort into finding a suitable candidate for Bai Shengwu.

The two of them don't care about the distinction between concubine and concubine, as long as they are good people.

When selecting people, they started with people around Bai Sheng, including the sisters of their classmates or the daughters of several gentlemen from the Imperial College.

After a round of selection, there were actually five suitable candidates. This was also the family that Zhou Yu felt that other people's parents would agree to his family's proposal of marriage.

The most important thing is for Bai Sheng to strive for his own success. Now he is taking the scientific examination, and with the support of the County Prince's Mansion, even if he gets a Jinshi or a fellow Jinshi in the big exam in the future, the County Prince's Mansion will help him with everything. After all, his official career will be smooth sailing.

Of course, this is just an outsider's opinion. According to the two brothers Zhou Yan and Zhou Yu, Bai Sheng is indeed not suitable for officialdom, but if he becomes an official in the future, the two of them will help him deal with it and put him in a suitable position. In this position, he can safely spend the rest of his life.

And he is not really a member of the Zhou family now. The officials in the court do not dislike Bai Sheng that much, but this is just a small official family with a small family, and those aristocratic families really look down on Bai Sheng.

After the mother and daughter had chosen the candidates, and after the family had dinner on the third night, Mrs. Lian sent all the maids out and took out five portraits and handed them to Bai Sheng.

"Brother Sheng, look at these portraits and see if you like any of them. Your eldest brother is engaged now and will get married in the next year. You and your eldest brother are the same age and it's time to get married. We don't want to get married now. If you are in a hurry to get married, make an appointment first, and it won’t be too late to marry someone after you pass the exam next year.”

Bai Sheng didn't expect his mother to say that, and then there were several portraits in his hand, and Bai Sheng's ears turned red.

"Mom, I don't want to get engaged now. I want to wait until I take the exam." Zhou Yu and Lianshi looked at each other. Something was wrong, very wrong. They wouldn't believe it if they said they didn't have anyone in their hearts.

Zhou Yu was a carefree person in front of his family. He came to Bai Sheng and slapped him on the shoulder.

"Second brother, tell me honestly, do you have a crush on someone's daughter?"

Yum started to panic when she heard her sister say this.

"No...no."

Zhou Yu rolled his eyes.

"Do you think I will believe you when you say that?"

"That's right, second brother, if you have someone on your mind, just say it. Don't think that after you pass the exam next year and ask your mother to propose marriage, I think you must have never told the other person your feelings. If you don't tell them, how can others do it? You know, there is still almost a year left until you take the exam next year. There have been too many changes this year. Aren't you afraid that others will come to propose marriage first? If the other party agrees, you will regret it then. "

Zhou Yan was a little bumpy when it came to his own marriage, but when it came to others, he was clear-headed.

Bai Sheng was unwilling to say it at first, but when he heard what his elder brother said, he suddenly felt depressed when he thought that what he said turned out to be true, and he no longer wanted to hide it.

"She is Liu Jijiu's little daughter."

Bai Sheng only said this, but no matter how much he said, he couldn't ask anything else.

However, based on the cleverness of the brother and sister, it is not difficult to guess that Liu Jijiu's daughter was probably attracted by Bai Sheng when she went to the Imperial College to deliver something to her father, or when she was picking up her father.

"Second brother, I underestimated you before."

"Since you have a girl you like, your parents will definitely help you fight for it. But if someone doesn't like you, don't take it personally. There are many good girls in the world."

As soon as Mrs. Lian heard what her son said, she gave him a vaccination first. She was afraid that the other girl had someone in her heart, and since her son was a stubborn person, she was afraid that he would not be able to figure it out by then.

"I know mother."

Now that they already have a girl they like, mother and daughter have been working in vain for the past few days, but after eating such a melon tonight, Zhou Yu can be considered satisfied.

The next day, Zhou Yu hurriedly sent someone out to inquire about the youngest daughter of Liu Ji Restaurant.

When the people sent to inquire about the news came back in the afternoon, Zhou Yan and Zhou Yu were also waiting for the people who had gone out to come back and report the news.

So when the brother and sister heard that the person who went to inquire about the news came back and told what they had inquired about, their hearts became cold.

It seems that the "second brother" and the second brother are hopeless. The girl has already found someone she likes.
