Mrs.
Jiang came to the He family and left in a hurry after not sitting for half a quarter of an hour.
Mrs.
Shen asked Cui'er to watch the pickles being made, and then she came out and asked, "Mom, why did Mrs.
Jiang come to our house?"
He Lao Niang said, "You are a shameless bastard.
He said he wanted to send our girl to the palace to enjoy the blessings."
Mrs.
Shen was startled and said hurriedly, "Why is it that our son Jin will be engaged to A-Nian next year?"
Besides, her family was from a small family and had never thought about letting her daughter become famous, enter the palace and enjoy happiness.
In recent years, under the brainwashing of her daughter, Mrs.
Shen also felt that the Zhao family was quite suspicious.
She knew that several families in the county sent their daughters to the palace through the Zhao family.
However, these families just sent their daughter to the Zhao family.
The Zhao family said that she entered the palace, but they had no proof.
In these days, people who get married have a marriage certificate as proof.
Even those who are concubines and maids must have a certificate.
How can I enter the palace and become a queen without a certificate or token?
Shen was in a hurry when she heard He Lao Niang say, "I have already sent her away.
She is really sick in her mind.
She deceived and deceived her.
She did not go out to inquire about it.
I will arrange the marriage for our girl and A Nian tomorrow."
Come down."
"That's fine."
Ah Nian heard about this during lunch and agreed very much with the early engagement.
Without any delay, he went to Chaoyun Temple after lunch to find the auspicious day for Taoist Chao Yun.
Ah Nian consulted with Chao Yun for advice.
"The emperor must have rules and regulations for selecting his concubines, right?"
A-Nian himself wanted to take the exam for merit, but he had to pass five tests and kill six generals.
Only when he became a Jinshi could he see the dragon's face in the Golden Palace.
In the eyes of a scholar like A Nian, the royal family has always been sacred.
But after seeing what the Zhao family has done in the past few years, why does it feel like the palace is like the backyard of his old Zhao family?
Whoever is sent in can be sent to the palace.
Ah Nian didn't even understand who was in charge.
Taoist priest Chaoyun was sitting on a lacquer-colored soft couch, with a shiny and soft blanket on his knees.
He was holding a lacquer-colored hand stove in both hands.
There was a faint smell of medicine in the room.
When A Nian asked, Taoist priest Chaoyun only said: Drinking medicinal tea.
Taoist priest Chaoyun said calmly, "Normally speaking, most of the concubines in this dynasty come from the families of officials.
However, occasionally the emperor would like to see a palace concubine who liked him, and he would usually reward him with a lower position, for example, the daughter-in-law, The imperial concubines are usually selected from among the people.
Once a girl from a good family is selected as a palace servant between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, her family will receive a reward of twenty or thirty taels of silver.
In addition, the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes will be reduced by half.
The palace maid can leave the palace until she is thirty years old. , the palace maids also have moon silver in the palace.”
Hearing the tea brought to him, Ah Nian didn't care about eating it.

He put it on the crabapple table and asked Master Chaoyun, "What about other situations, like Empress Zhao?
We have never chosen a palace maid in Bishui County.
Zhao The empress did not enter the palace as a palace maid."
Taoist priest Chaoyun said a little casually, "This is not simple.
Someone like Zhao should be dedicated by a local official."
"Is there any limit on the number of flatteries given by local officials?"
"You think local officials are turtles in brothels."
Ah Nian heard this joke and didn't know how to answer it.
He, he would also take the exam for merit in the future.
Seeing that Ah Nian was a little embarrassed, Taoist Master Chaoyun stopped joking and said, "I'm not stupid now, I can take charge of politics."
The ministers on one side are definitely not fools, and your subordinates will send you women every now and then. , you will also doubt his motives and character.
The important thing is that at least the one you offer must be a beauty like Xi Shi.
If you are like Dong Shi, one is not enough.
A wealthy landlord who has never seen the world can be dismissed by any decent woman."
A Nian nodded while listening, and concluded, "In other words, the essence is more valuable than the more expensive."
Chaoyun Taoist said, "You can teach me."
A Nian became even more worried.
He rubbed his hands and said, "How about I get married to Sister Zijin first?"
Who can compare to Sister Zijin?
A Nian felt that even the beauties in the emperor's palace would definitely not be as good as his sister Zijin.
Taoist priest Chaoyun quite agreed, "In the previous dynasty, some families heard that the emperor was choosing a concubine, and if they didn't want a girl to enter the palace, they would marry the girl in advance."
Taoist priest Chaoyun divined an auspicious day for Anian, which is next month, November 22nd.
It was an auspicious day, so A-Nian didn't stay any longer and said goodbye and went down the mountain.
Hearing the news and seeing Taoist Master Chao Yun frowning, he couldn't help but said, "Otherwise, I'll have people keep an eye on Junior Sister He's house."
Taoist priest Chaoyun didn't hide his disgust, "The Zhao family is just an early bird."
On the way home, A-Nian did not forget to buy a bag of snacks for Sister Zijin, and discussed with Sister Zijin about getting married in advance.
Sister Zijin said, "It's okay to get engaged first, but if we get married, why don't we have to wait until you are eighteen?"
good."
"Let's get married first.
It doesn't matter if we consummate the marriage later."
Speaking of getting married, Ah Nian's ears turned red.
Sister Zijin was in disbelief, "You still know how to consummate a marriage?"
Ah Nian is so young and so precocious.
Anian's ears were burning.
He became anxious and stuttered, "Tu, Tu, even the woodchuck knows it.
I know what's going on."
Sister Zijin laughed happily and showed a sly smile, "You are knowledgeable and talented.
You can succeed or not."
A Nian's face turned red.
He deeply felt that he was being teased by Zijin's sister.
Fortunately, A-Nian adheres to the principle of "a good man should be thick-skinned."
No matter how Zijin's sister teases him, he only asks about business, "Well, if you have no objection, I will discuss the marriage with my grandmother.
Let's discuss it."
It's settled, I Let's go find a matchmaker.
How about we ask the mountain chief to be the matchmaker?

"Well, we still have to prepare the betrothal gift.
The third sister has just given birth and has to take care of the child.
Brother Aren is a few years older than him and is still a bachelor.
I'm afraid I don't know what to prepare for the betrothal gift. .
Brother Ah Shan manages the pickle shop for his aunt.
He has always been smart and capable.
Sister-in-law Zhang is also a very good person.
Why not ask Sister-in-law Zhang about the betrothal gift.
While A-Nian was thinking about the lifelong events between himself and Sister Zijin, he handed the glazed red fruit he bought on the street to Sister Zijin and said, "You can have snacks in the room.
I'll discuss it with my grandmother first."
It was not appropriate for Sister Zijin to be present at the occasion.
As long as Sister Zijin didn't object to getting married early, A-Nian went to Mrs.
He's house.
Winter is about to begin, and the weather is getting cooler.
Mrs.
He always works in the courtyard in the sun in the morning when the sun is good, or to see her grandson.
When the temperature drops in the afternoon, she turns to work in the house.
He Lao Niang was talking to Mrs.
Shen.
When A Nian came back, He Lao Niang asked, "How is the divination going?"
A Nian took out the big red post and handed it to Mrs.
He, saying, "Master Chaoyun wrote it on it.
Master Chaoyun said that the 22nd of next month will be a very good day, even better than March 3rd of next year."
Mrs.
He was illiterate, but she could barely recognize a few of them over the years.
She took a look at the post and handed it to her daughter-in-law.
Mrs.
Shen took it and said, "It's better to make a decision early."
A Nian's ears started to feel feverish again, "Master Qingyun said that when the emperor of the previous dynasty chose a concubine, if there were families who didn't want a girl to be a concubine, they would marry the girl off in advance.
I thought, how about I marry Sister Zijin?
Let’s get married first.”
"It's a little early to get married."
He Lao Niang said, "You are only twelve this year, and your aunt, Sister Zijin, hasn't arrived yet."
A Nian's face turned red and she said, "Just sign the marriage contract and other things first, and then we'll talk about it later."
Mrs.
He felt that she needed to think about it, and said, "Let's talk about the engagement first.
You also need to find a matchmaker for the engagement, and someone with high moral character is better."
A Nian immediately said, "Grandma, I've thought about it, how about asking Mr.
Hu Shan?"
The Hu family is the largest family in Bishui County, and Hu Shanchang is the gentleman in charge of the academy.
He has been an official before, and he is also an in-law of the He family, which is indeed the best thing.
Both Mrs.
He and Mrs.
Shen smiled and said, "You have to make an agreement with Chief Hu Shan in advance to see if he is free that day."
Anian said, "I will go and tell the mountain chief in person tomorrow."

Mrs.
Shen immediately thought it over for him and said, "Okay, just prepare some snacks, pack some pickles in our shop, and bring two jars of the wolfberry wine brewed by your sister Zijin.
Will your uncle go with you?
Okay, let Ah Shan accompany you there."
A Nian hurriedly said, "I can go and do it myself, aunt.
I am also familiar with the mountain leader.
Also, I can prepare gifts myself."
Although he grew up in his father-in-law's family since he was a child, he couldn't hire a matchmaker and ask his mother-in-law to do it.
Give me a gift.
Ah Nian is going to be her son-in-law.
Shen's attitude is much more cordial than before, and she smiles, "What are you trying to do to be polite?
You have to spend money to buy something outside.
Not only is it expensive, but it's not as affordable as what we can get at home."
"Yes, there will be plenty of room for money in the future."
What Mrs.
He was thinking was that A-Nian's net worth has long been controlled by her girl Pianzi.
A-Nian is a real kid, so we have to save money for him.
Ah Nian agreed and went to the cubicle to talk to Sister Zijin.
After a while, Brother Jun came over with two candied red fruits in his little hands for his grandmother to eat.
Madam He took them and asked, "My dear grandson, where did they come from?"
Brother Jun also had one in his mouth and said vaguely, "Big sister gave it to me."
Madam He knew it as soon as she thought about it, and quietly said to Mrs.
Shen, "I saved money for A-Nian in vain.
Look at A-Nian, I bought red fruits and only gave them to the girl."
Mrs.
Shen smiled and said, "Don't you, old man, find it sour?"
"No one is buying them.
I can't eat them even if I don't mind the sourness."
Mrs.
He stuffed one into her mouth, handed the other to her daughter-in-law, and said, "Try it, oh, this must be the frosted red fruit from Li's dried fruit shop." , after boiling, remove the core and coat both inside and outside with frosting sugar.
"It's sweet and sour, not bad.
It's just expensive, twice as expensive as ordinary sugar-glazed red fruits.
Oh, Ah Nian, this kid really doesn't know how to make a living, so he's spending a lot of money now."
The messenger called Brother Jun, "Go and ask for more to eat."
At this age, Brother Jun likes to do some errands.
He went there immediately and came back with a paper bag in his arms.
Madam He praised, "As expected of my good grandson, he is really capable."
Brother Jun raised his face and said, "Sister said that grandma would give me fruit in exchange."
Mrs.
He took another frosted red fruit to eat and said, "She is so beautiful that I want to trade with her.
Come on, give one to my sweet grandson."
She also stuffed a frosted red fruit into Brother Jun's mouth.
Brother Jun He Zijin ran away jumping up and down, and went to learn the words from his sister.
He squinted and learned the words perfectly, "She is so beautiful, I still want to change with her, hum."
With a milky sound from her butt, He Zijin followed A Nian burst into laughter.

Mrs.
He muttered in her room, "What are you talking about?
It's just so silly."
Shen smiled.
He Gong had no objection to her daughter's early engagement with Anian.
He Gong said, "I will go to Brother Xin's house this afternoon.
Brother Xin said that he will go to the state capital in a few days.
You prepare some things and I will take him."
Brother Xin’s car goes to the state capital to see Mr.
Sun.”
"Oh, Sun Yushi" His younger brother's colleague, Sun Yushi is in the state capital, and he sent his servants to the He family's house before.
The He family lives in the county town and rarely goes to the state capital.
During the New Year and festivals, the He family asks He Xin to help deliver holiday gifts.
There are not many expensive things, mostly home-cooked food and local products from the mountains.
Sun Yushi was not a rich official, so it was as simple as returning a gift.
Shen asked, "What are you going to do?"
He Gong said, "Let's make a marriage arrangement at home as soon as possible, but we can't relax outside.
I can't find out anything in the county.
I thought, Sun Yushi is from the imperial capital.
I'll go find Sun Yushi and find out something."
What's going on?
"The Zhao family keeps acting like a monster, and no matter how good-tempered He Gong is, he can't let anyone try to hit his daughter.
Mrs.
Shen was also very angry with the Zhao family, so she thought for a while and said, "Let Ah Shan go with you, and take Xiao Fuzi with you.
There will be more people to take care of you."
"become."
A-Nian went to Hu's house the next day, greeted the old lady of Hu's family, and gave her things.
Old lady Hu smiled and said, "Come on if you want.
You even brought these things to do something else.
It's a surprise."
"It's not a surprise, it's just that I have something to ask the mountain chief."
Old Mrs.
Hu looked at A-Nian with a smile.
A-Nian was the first scholar in the academy, and he was such a young scholar.
Young, middle-aged and old women liked him.
Old Mrs.
Hu smiled and asked, "What's the matter?
, your chief has gone to the academy."
A Nian is not an outsider.
Since he said something was wrong, Mrs.
Hu asked more, just to help him.
A Nianxiao said, "It's my marriage to Sister Zijin.
It's planned to be finalized next month.
I'm thinking of asking the mountain chief to be a matchmaker for Baoshan."
Mrs.

Hu was very happy when she heard this and said, "This is a big happy event.
It will be decided on a certain date."
"The twenty-second of next month."
Mrs.
Hu Er said about the third girl, "I never heard her niece mention it before."
The third girl also asked Anian, "Didn't it mean March 3rd next year?"
A Nian thought that her third sister had just given birth, and didn't want her to be anxious.
She didn't tell the truth and smiled, "It turns out that it means that Sister Zijin and Hairpin will get engaged next year.
Master Chaoyun said that November 22 this year will be nearly a hundred years old."
It’s the best day in the world, it’s a pity to miss it.
After discussing with my grandmother and uncle, I really didn’t want to miss this auspicious day, so I decided to make a decision in advance.”
Mrs.
Hu Er said, "That's true.
I know of several families in our county that got married and engaged that day."
A Nian smiled, "You'll have to go and have some fun then."
Mrs.
Hu Er smiled, "Even if you don't invite me, I still have to go."
Even if Mr.
Hu Shan was not at home for such a big happy event, Mrs.
Hu would still take care of it on her husband's behalf.
When Hu Shanchang returned home and heard what his old wife had said, he twitched his beard and said with a smile, "It is indeed a very suitable marriage."
He Zijin had seen a girl with good looks, good cooking skills, and a celebrity in the city.
Flowers are also grown well.
It's just the same thing that Hu Shanchang doesn't like very much.
Hu Shanchang is a disciple of Confucianism, and he values not talking about strange powers and confusing gods, but He Zijin is the great fairy in the city.
However, this is a girl who knows how to get along.
She is still a childhood sweetheart with her favorite girl, A Nian.
Although she is two years older, she is even more capable of loving others.
Hu Shanchang thought about the marriage between A Nian and He Zijin, and said to his old wife again, "This is a good marriage."
Old Mrs.
Hu smiled, "I don't know, our whole family will go there and have fun."
"Of course, a glass of matchmaking wine is indispensable."
Hu Shan smiled.
Hearing that A Nian had brought wine today, Hu Shan Chang immediately ordered the maid to put it on and prepare to have a few drinks in the evening. gd1806102:
