Prime Minister

Chapter 102 Marriage Matters
As night fell, Bookseller Yu had already returned to the shop.

When Yu Yunruo saw it, he hurried up to meet him and asked, "How are uncle and the others? They haven't come back so late."

Bookseller Yu said with a smile: "They have been left behind by Xuezheng."

Yu Yunruo asked: "Is something wrong?"

Bookseller Yu said with a smile: "What else can there be? They all drank a lot of wine. They are scholars and understand etiquette. I'm afraid it will be disturbing if they go home drunk. After all, we have female relatives here."

"Although they couldn't come back, thanks to their intentions, they sent someone to bring me news."

Yu Yunruo asked: "That's really intentional, uncle, do you know which scholar sent someone to bring the news?"

"Who else could it be? It's that scholar named Zhang."

Yu Yunruo smiled slightly and said, "I can see that he is a person who has a head and a tail in his work."

Bookseller Yu smiled slightly and said, "I think you've taken a liking to him."

Yu Yunruo's face flushed and said: "How can uncle talk? How can niece have such thoughts."

Bookseller Yu said with a smile, "I brought you up. Although I don't understand my daughter's thoughts, I do understand a little bit."

"Uncle has traveled all over the world and met so many people, all three scholars can tell. Among the three, the surname He is the most shrewd, but such people often have a plan in everything."

Yu Yunruo nodded and said, "He didn't see us at all."

Yu Shushang said: "It's good if you understand. As for the scholar surnamed Guo, he is an honest and honest person, but he seems to have never seen the world, and his clothes are a bit shabby. If any girl marries there, I am afraid that she will suffer."

Yu Yunruo said nothing.

"On the contrary, this scholar surnamed Zhang, although he is not from a wealthy family, has some background. More importantly, he is modest and courteous. I think this person will be rich sooner or later."

"I don't see how rich and honored he is. Xuezheng is hosting a banquet tonight. I heard that he has entered the Bianjing Imperial Academy. Although this person is a scholar right now, but at his age, he may be a high school student in the future." fair."

Yu Yunruo nodded upon hearing this.

Yu Shushang said: "Actually, you don't need to tell me, uncle. You should be concerned about it. You have reached the age of marriage. According to my opinion, it is enough to marry an ordinary family. The person who was a matchmaker with you before also has someone in his family." shop, but you don’t think he’s too philistine, and the Yao family’s, you’re going to scold him for being talented.”

Yu Yunruo clenched her lower lip when she heard this, and said: "Then when someone gets married, you can see the end at a glance, and live with a few small money, what can you do? I won't marry this type of person."

Yu Shushang said: "Do you really think that every scholar will make a fortune one day? Besides, how can a scholar be so easy to marry? Either he is poor, or he is outrageous, or his vision is so high that he dislikes us merchants and is not worthy of him." .”

"Let me tell you the truth, your sister-in-law has asked me to marry you quickly, and the neighbors in the neighborhood have talked about you pushing her down the stairs."

Frost appeared on Yu Yunruo's face, Xun lowered his head again and said, "I have already told you about my sister-in-law, it's her soles that are slipping."

Yu Shushang sighed: "Even if you have a hundred mouths, people will say that this is disobedience. In the past, two or three matchmakers came to come to matchmaking, but now no one comes to the door in half a year."

Yu Yunruo said in a low voice: "Uncle, can you give Yunruo some dowry? If so, Yunruo will be grateful for being an ox and a horse in the next life."

Yu Shushang said: "Your father's leftover money is just that, I'll make some money for you, that's all."

Yu Yunruo leaned forward and said, "Uncle is willing to raise Yunruo. Yunruo is very grateful and will definitely repay uncle in the future. Please be considerate of this matter."

Yu Shushang said: "I don't think you should expect too much, this Mr. Zhang's family doesn't seem to be ignorant."

The next day.

The three of Zhang Yue were about to leave from the gate of the state school, but found that Yu Shushang had sent someone to drive a donkey cart to pick them up.

When He Qi saw it, he deliberately smiled and said: "Sanlang, I think you will have double happiness today!"

Zhang Yue said: "Brother He, what do you say?"

He Qiwei smiled and said: "Sanlang is pretending to understand and be confused? You are half a student now, and you may become an official in the future. The niece of the Yu family has taken a fancy to you, and now she is rushing to show her favor. I'm afraid you'll run away."

"I think that although this girl is two years older than you, she has some gentle methods. Sanlang, aren't you a good friend of Cao Mengde? Brother, I congratulate you in advance."

After finishing speaking, He Qi laughed out loud.

Zhang Yue smiled slightly and said, "I didn't care about it for a while. I don't think people may be looking at me."

"If Saburo doesn't believe it, you and I bet."

Zhang Yue laughed and said, "Brother He must have won! Then I would like to ask Brother He, if you were me, how would you deal with it?"

He Qi smiled slightly: "Me?"

Zhang Yue said: "Yeah, I don't know much, and I want to hear Brother He's advice. If the girl from the Yu family is interested in Brother He, will Brother He have to marry her?"

He Qi heard the words as if he heard the funniest joke.

He Qi patted his legs and said: "Sanlang, Sanlang, I don't know what you are. With our current identities, can you marry such a small merchant woman?"

"Oh? What about your background as a merchant? What does Brother He mean?"

He Qi sneered and said: "For a woman of such a background, it is almost enough to take a concubine's room. It would be the best if she can come with some money."

"Can a concubine accompany money?" Zhang Yue was a little puzzled.

He Qiwei smiled and said: "Why can't it work? Sanlang, let me tell you, you are young and have little knowledge. If it is different, I will let the Yu family come with a few acres of land. Don't you believe it? You say Every year in the spring test, who are the ones who catch the son-in-law? They are all a group of merchants. To put it bluntly, they are just a marriage with wealth and a marriage status."

"Is that woman rich? Bookseller Yu keeps saying that he loves his niece, but he would rather leave the side room empty and let her live in the back room. How much dowry do you think?"

"Let me tell you again, why does this woman ignore a local scholar, but instead falls in love with a scholar who came from elsewhere? I'm afraid there is something famous in it!"

Zhang Yue nodded and said: "I don't know the depth of this, but thanks to Brother He for pointing it out."

He Qi's face was a little unnatural, he had already seen it, but he deliberately didn't say that he wanted to let Zhang Yue stumble.After what Zhang Yue said, he didn't think why he said it so quickly, but instead deliberately found an excuse to comfort himself that he had done some good deeds to help Zhang Yue.

He Qiyu said earnestly: "Go back later, I advise you to pack your luggage and get out early, and don't stay overnight, otherwise the melon fields and plums will fall, and I don't know what troubles will arise."

Zhang Yue nodded.

The three of them boarded a donkey cart and went to Yu Bookseller's home.

Zhang Yue really didn't think too much about it before. In his last life, he occasionally fell in love with a girl when he was a student, but at that time the emphasis was on his studies and he finally let it go.

After work, he was on the way to a blind date. He really wanted to look down on her, but she never gave him a chance.But in this life, finally a girl has taken a fancy to him, no matter how you say it, it is something to be happy about.

But he really hadn't considered the matter of getting married. Could it be possible to go to the Imperial College to study and bring his daughter-in-law with him all the way?

Even He Qidu told Wu Anshi that he would not discuss marriage before he became a senior.

Now at Zhang Yue's age, he wants to study hard and make progress, work hard, and see how high he can reach.If you meet a good fate in the future, everyone can match each other, and you can grasp it by yourself so that you don't miss it, that's all.

The three of them got off the donkey cart and arrived at Yujia Bookstore.

After hearing the clerk's words, Yu Shushang strode out to greet Zhang Yue and said, "Congratulations to you all who are about to enter the capital to be famous."

He Qi sneered beside him when he heard the words.

Zhang Yue smiled and was about to say a few words of modesty when he saw a beautiful figure appearing in the bookstore.

I saw that Yu Yunruo was wearing a new shirt, looking at him with piercing eyes, as if his eyes were burning with fire.

Zhang Yue hurriedly avoided such eye contact.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhang's family, Mr. Guo's family has entered Piyong." Yu Yunruo said with a smile.

Zhang Yue smiled slightly when he heard the words.

Yu Yunruo observed his words and asked, "Why is it that the slave family is wrong?"

Zhang Yue said: "Piyong is a place for sacrifices and drinking in the village, but it is not a Taixue. But it is okay to use it as a borrowed name."

Yu Yunruo blushed, bowed deeply, and said: "I don't read much books, and my family has said something wrong, please forgive me."

Seeing the other party's appearance, Zhang Yue and Guo Lin couldn't say anything, so they hurriedly said, "Miss Yu's family, get up quickly."

Bookseller Yu said with a smile: "Tonight, I will host a banquet for the three of you, as a way of congratulating you."

Zhang Yue said: "Thank you shopkeeper Yu, but don't dare to bother me any longer. We are still waiting for news from us at home and school. We should pack our bags and return home immediately, otherwise it will be too late."

Yu Yunruo's face immediately paled upon hearing the words.

Yu Shushang warmly asked to stay: "How good is this, San Lang thinks I'm not entertaining well, and it's also because the shop is busy these days that he didn't greet everyone well."

"If you leave like this, people will definitely blame me for not being a good host. You three, you must stay no matter what. I have already ordered the food and drink. I will make amends tonight."

Yu Shushang talked for a while, but Zhang Yue pushed them away.

Seeing that he couldn't keep it, Yu Shushang immediately said to Zhang Yue: "Sanlang, I have a few words to say to you."

"This... alright." Zhang Yue agreed.

Yu Shushang Lazhang Yue went to the attic and said: "Sanlang has come to this, I am not as good as Qiao Zhang, to tell you the truth, my family, Yun Ruo, has taken a fancy to you and wants to marry you as a wife, you see how?"

Although Zhang Yue had expected it earlier, he still felt ashamed and said: "Thanks to shopkeeper Yu, the lady of the Yu family thinks highly of me, I have no intention of marrying a wife at the moment, not to mention that even if I marry a wife, I have to report to my elder brother and sister-in-law first."

Yu Shushang smiled and said, "It's all right. If Saburo is interested, I can promise a dowry of one hundred guan and ten acres of paddy fields. As for our small family, we don't have to stick to the old customs. We will get married first and then return to Pucheng." Tell your brother and sister-in-law again."

The atmosphere of the ancients is so open?

Zhang Yue said: "Marriage matters, parents' order and matchmaker's words, how can we decide privately. Shopkeeper Yu, I will report to my brother and sister-in-law when I return to my hometown, and I will give you an answer then."

Yu Shushang wanted to say more, but Zhang Yue cupped his hands, turned and went downstairs without hesitation.

Yu Shushang suddenly showed disappointment.

The three hurriedly packed their luggage, and then left Yu's bookstore under the resentful eyes of Yu Shushang and Yu Yunruo.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yue couldn't help turning his head to bow to the two.Seeing Yu Yunruo turning his head to wipe his tears, he couldn't bear it.
