Ninefold Purple

Not to mention that Dou Zhao and Song Momi were mixing oil, but Song Yan was tossing and turning, without closing his eyes all night.

He thought of the care taken by his clansmen when he was a child, the steaming bowl of porridge from his aunt in the back street in winter, and the linen jacket that his third aunt made for him in the hot summer.

My uncle has four sons, and when he went to Zhending to make a shop, he planned to take the youngest son with him, so that he could study and save one's expenses, but in the end he took him.

The aunt has nothing, and helps him prepare warm and cold clothes all year round.

In the past two years, I still want to make a family relationship for him.Just because his family has a permanent property and a legitimate business, and the betrothal gifts of better people are high. The third and fourth cousins ​​of the uncle's family are connected with the daughter-in-law. His, either his daughter has something wrong, or he is greedy for his daughter's dowry. In fact, his aunt can go smoothly, just book him a marriage, and she can also earn a reputation as a "virtuous woman" .But my aunt insisted on picking someone who could live a life for him...[

Song Yan's eye sockets immediately became moist.

It was just dawn, and he knelt down in front of Song Yumin's room regardless of the servant's strange eyes.

Song Yumin opened the door, saw the dew on Song Yan's hair, and stood at the door for a moment.

After a while, he said hoarsely: "You already know?"

Song Yan nodded, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, I agree to this marriage!" There was shame that could not be concealed between the corners of his eyes and brows.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Song Yumin hurriedly pulled Song Yan up, "We dragged you so much, is it just to let you be a door-to-door son-in-law? If this is the case, it will never be mentioned again from now on. With the Prince of the Duke’s Mansion, I’m free to deal with it... In the worst case, I’ll go back and sit in the hall for a few more years!”

"No." Song Yan argued hastily, "I'm not afraid because of the prince of England, but because I want to go."

The eldest brother of my uncle's family is already a Juren.The third elder brother has also been selected as a scholar, and his eldest nephew is about to end. There are still plenty of places to spend money. In the past, there was Shu Xiu from the Dou family, but now he is sitting on nothing.Many people like him starved to death and froze to death long ago. He has grown up and studied with his uncle. What is there to be dissatisfied with?

It's a pity that I can't be named on the gold list to repay the kindness of my uncle and the clan.

Song Yumin didn't believe it.

The two had a good talk the day before yesterday.After returning to Quzhou, how to go to the official office to register, how to participate in the boy's test, and how can you change your mind in a blink of an eye?

"Uncle!" Song Yan knelt at Song Yumin's feet, "Master Zhao and Mrs. Zhao are good people, and they will not treat my nephew badly. Just agree!"

Then he knelt in front of Song Yumin and refused to get up.

Song Yumin burst into tears.

The owner's surname is Zheng.Ming Jiuyan is a friend of Song Yumin.

Hearing from the servant woman that the uncle and nephew were kneeling there talking, they didn't know what happened, so they hurried over.

Hearing that it was for Song Yan's marriage, Zheng Jiuyan couldn't help laughing, and accused Song Yumin: "You are also a fool. Then the Zhao family is a scholar family, so naturally they hope that their son-in-law can understand poetry. Otherwise, I'm afraid they won't write The daughter stays so big. Since the nephew is in the Zhao family, he must be at the side of Mr. Zhao. The whole family is a dignified two-ranked Jinshi. Wouldn’t it be a hundred times better to study with Mr. Zhao than to study with you? The big tree of the family also has support. If you really love your nephew, you will come and go with the Zhao family often in the future. Just don’t lose his reputation." He joked with Song Yumin again, "No one in your family should be greedy. Zhao family’s money, right?”

What he said made Song Yumin dumbfounded.

Zheng Jiuyan took the opportunity and said, "How about I become the matchmaker?"

Song Yumin didn't say a word.

Song Yan hurriedly got up and thanked him.

Zheng Jiuyan said with a smile: "That's right! A man. Be honest. Now that you've made a decision, do it right!"

Song Yan nodded repeatedly.

Song Yumin sighed, turned and entered the house.

Zheng Jiuyan winked at Song Yan: "You will live with the Zhao family from now on, even if he knows you are doing well, he will treat you like his own son, he must be reluctant to part with it, you go and have a good time with your uncle Say it."

Song Yan gratefully saluted Zheng Jiuyan again.

Zheng Jiuyan waved his hand with a smile, and sent someone to inquire about Dou Shiying's whereabouts when he left the Chuihua Gate. When Dou Shiying stepped down from the Yamen, he prepared a gift box of twelve colors and went to Jing'an Temple Alley.

When Dou Shiying heard about Zheng Jiuyan's intentions, she opened her mouth in shock, and it took her a while to react.

He cautiously asked for confirmation: "You're right, aren't you? As a matchmaker for Song Qianli and my cousin? My uncle's family wants to recruit a son-in-law!"

"Yes!" Zheng Jiuyan said with a smile, "I have heard for a long time that your lady cousin is quiet and elegant. Mr. Song and Mr. Song have been sitting in your restaurant for the past few years. You all know her appearance and character..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Dou Shiying was already excited. He hurriedly called Zheng Zhengchang to accompany the guest, and went to the guest room in a hurry.

My aunt also stayed up all night.

Will the Song family agree?

If he doesn't agree, what will happen to Zhangru's marriage?

All the friends who should be entrusted have been entrusted, and the children who should be seen have also been seen. How can there be a suitable candidate?

If this matter gets out, will others think that the Zhao family is in a hurry to marry the girl and despises Zhang Ru?

Why didn't he think of Song Yan earlier?

If this matter is brought up at the time when it is really decided, whether it will be successful or not, there will be a conclusion, and it will not be necessary to get it to the capital.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, so it’s okay to talk about Mao’er Hutong, let the people in Huaishu Hutong know, so you can’t gloat in secret?There is also the Wang family, who also live in Kyoto...

She felt a headache even thinking about it, and she didn't have much energy for a day.

Seeing Dou Shiying coming over excitedly, my aunt was taken aback. [

Dou Shiying didn't wait for her to speak, and said to the attendants beside her: "You all go down, my uncle and wife have something to say."

The maids hurriedly retreated.

Dou Shiying told her aunt Zheng Jiuyan's intention of coming.

My aunt didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and when she did, she couldn't help saying "Amitabha" to her, and said, "I haven't seen a kid like Yantang who is more stable than him!"

"What's the matter with Guan Yantang?" Dou Shiying was stunned.

My aunt told Dou Shiying that Dou Zhao and Song Mo came to discuss Zhao Zhangru's marriage with her yesterday.

Dou Shiying was dumbfounded, and finally understood why Song Mo wanted to take the exam for Song Yan.

He couldn't help smiling, and told his aunt what happened in the flower hall yesterday: "...You said that this child is not only safe, but also careful, thoughtful, and the most important thing is that he is successful at a young age, and he doesn't put on airs. You said, our birthday girl How did you marry such a good son-in-law!" Thinking about it, Zhao Zhangru and Dou Zhao were the same, their marriages were full of twists and turns, they stayed at home and became old girls.And comforted my aunt, "As the saying goes, those who stay behind will have soup to drink. Our Shougu can marry so well, and our Zhangru can marry just as well!"

The aunt couldn't help nodding her head again and again, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your good words".

This is after Zhao Guqiu passed away.It was the first time that my aunt spoke to Dou Shiying so calmly.Dou Shiying couldn't help but grow a little courageous, and said: "Do you think you should write a letter to my uncle? Ask my uncle what he means?"

"Naturally!" said the aunt, "If you want to marry the Song family, I'm afraid you'll have to live in Jing'an Temple Hutong for a while..."

"You take care of it! You take care of it!" Dou Shiying hastily said a few polite words, went to the flower hall, left Zheng Jiuyan at home for dinner, and tactfully conveyed to Zheng Jiuyan the Zhao family's willingness to get married .

This is the blind man eating glutinous rice balls.The things that I have in mind are just for the sake of the Zhao family's face, and Song Jiaxuan proposed that's all.

Zheng Jiuyan and Dou Shiying were served by Dou Zhengchang, changing cups.The words are very speculative.

My aunt immediately sent someone to tell Dou Zhao.

Dou Zhao held Song Mo's face and kissed it several times: "You can do it!" Then he called the maid to come in and make up again, before going to Jing'an Temple Alley.

Song Mo touched his face, smiled and sat aside watching Dou Zhao make up, and said: "This daughter-in-law hasn't married yet. My matchmaker was thrown over the wall. You are too cruel point!"

Dou Zhao smiled brightly at him, pretending to be condescending and said: "You are allowed to go back to my mother's house with me!"

Song Mo laughed out loud.

I really followed Dou Zhao to Jing'an Temple Hutong.

Take a look at Gao Sheng.The Fourth Aunt's "Grandma" and the Fourth Auntie came back, and immediately went to report without saying anything, and hurriedly ordered the people on the stove: "Quickly, re-set the banquet, the Fourth Auntie is here."

The servants all moved.

After drinking some wine, Dou Shiying couldn't help but pull Songmo to sit down in the flower hall and told Dou Zhao: "Go, go and play with your aunt!"

Dou Zhao couldn't help pursing his lips and smiling, and went to his aunt.

"My son!" Auntie held Dou Zhao's hand, her eyes sparkling, "You still feel sorry for your cousin." Then she asked carefully about Song Yan.

Dou Zhao knew that cousin Zhangru's marriage was very important to the Zhao family, but she didn't expect that her aunt, who she imagined could calmly deal with Mount Taishan, would be under such great pressure.

If she knew this, she should have joined in earlier.

No matter what happened in his last life, it is enough to make his uncles, aunts, and cousins ​​live happily in this life!

Dou Zhao was ashamed, and answered his aunt's words carefully.

A little maid came in and said, "Uncle, Madam, I have given the letter to the senior management. The senior management said that it's a bit late today, and I will send someone to the post early tomorrow morning."

Dou Zhaoqi asked, "What letter?"

"A letter from your uncle." The aunt laughed. "You have to tell him about such a big matter."

"Northwest is thousands of miles away from here. It will be a year later." Dou Zhao said, "May I ask the prince to help you figure out a way? From the Ministry of War, it will take up to 20 days."

"Okay!" The aunt is not hypocritical, and the husband doesn't have a letter of approval, so they can't exchange Geng stickers. It seems that the Chinese New Year is coming, and the uncle and nephew of the Song family are still staying at a friend's house, so we can't drag everyone in the capital. , "Talk to Yantang."

Of course, Song Mo had to take care of such a small matter.

In the same night, he asked the Ministry of War to put the letter in the urgent letter of Gansu General Military Mansion and send it to Qingyang.

Now, the entire Northwest knows that Zhao Si's nephew and son-in-law are the heirs of the British government!

This is of course later.

Since the Zhao and Song families had plans to marry, it was rare for Song and Min to write letters back to tell their families.

There is a waterway in Quzhou, so letters can be exchanged more quickly. Song Yumin's wife quickly replied, asking where the marriage is going to be held, and if anyone can help. She also brought over 50 taels of silver bills, saying that the family had collected them for Song Yan's marriage. of.
