Wear ancient times with a house

Chapter 20 Marriage twists and turns?

When the Tian family brothers came this time, apart from responding to their aunt's call and agreeing to support their cousin when the marriage was done, there was one more thing they wanted to trouble the Song family:
That is to let Tian Fu's eldest daughter stay in the Song family for a while.

This matter is quite helpless.Tian Fu's eldest daughter had just been divorced. Although she was not at fault, she was inevitably talked about by the villagers. Tian Fu wanted to send her daughter to live in the county town for a while to avoid gossip from those people.

When Mrs. Song heard about this, she naturally turned to her own children, scolded the family who retired for being unkind, and gave her nephew a guarantee that his daughter would have a good time in the county.

Three days after the decision was made, Tian Fu brought another large cart of agricultural products and drove the ox cart, this time bringing his eldest daughter——Tian Man.

Mrs. Tian is still familiar with her nephews and nieces, but she is blind to her nephews and grandnieces. She only vaguely remembers Tian Man's appearance as a child, but she clearly remembers that the child's name is "Tian Mancang".

When she asked this question, the others couldn't help but laugh.

Tian Man is a pretty girl with an oval face, thin eyebrows and thin eyes, and her skin is not fair. When her name was mentioned, she looked at Tian Fu in a panic.

Tian Fu obviously loved this daughter very much. Although he was not close to the child like modern parents, he patted her on the head lightly and explained to Mrs. Song:

"She is the first girl in the family. My father named her Mancang, and my aunt also knew that people like us don't ask for others. They just want to have a good harvest every year. But later we thought our daughter's family was called this. It’s not elegant enough, so I went to the school to find the old man and begged him to change his name, he said Manzi would be good, so I’ll call him Tian Man from now on.”

Mrs. Shen prepared the clothes and supplies for the teenage girl two days ago, and asked Bai Sui to clean up a room in the old lady Song's yard. Seeing that Tian Man was a little uncomfortable, she waved to Tian Man :

"Come on, Man girl, Auntie will take you to see the room prepared for you, and see what else you need to buy."

After Shen and Tian Man left, Tian Fucai explained the matter to Song Nian and the others in detail:

"My daughter is 13 years old now. In the countryside, girls of this age are married. My family wants to keep her for a few more years, but the marriage has to be arranged, otherwise all the good ones will be picked."

Song Nian nodded, that's the reason, when her daughter is over ten years old, he will also have to look carefully for the marriage.

Tian Fu continued:
"Let this child marry an ordinary villager, let alone our parents, even my parents are not happy. The eldest granddaughter is almost the standard for other girls in the family to find a marriage. Man girl is poorly married, what about the younger sisters?" get married?

We asked people to ask around, and we took a fancy to a family named Zhang in the next village. "

Mrs. Song was puzzled:
"Which Zhang family?"

Tian Fu explained:
"It's not a big family, but an ordinary villager. But the eldest son of his family is very competitive. He secretly studied in the school since he was a child. In the end, the husband became interested in talents and accepted him as his family. Shu Xiu was also exempted."

Secretly listening to lectures is an immoral behavior. When you meet a strict scholar, you may even think that this is a flaw in your character. It's just that the husband is tolerant, and this matter becomes a good talk.

The Tian family heard this good talk, and they had relatives who were scholars. Knowing the benefits of reading, they wanted to give Tian Man to the Zhang family.

As for the Zhang family, they have raised several children. Although the eldest son does not need to study, he can't afford pens, ink, paper and inkstones. At this time, there is a daughter-in-law who can marry in with a generous dowry. This daughter-in-law knows a little A word, they are naturally happy.

Hearing this, Mrs. Song, who was only briefly informed of the results a few days ago, couldn't sit still, and asked repeatedly:

"But his family has climbed a high branch?"

Tian Fu smiled wryly:

"Auntie, if his family has climbed a high branch, we will naturally go to the door and return my girl's innocence. It's just that they are quite helpless, and I don't want to make enemies with them, that's all."

Song Nian said:
"Cousin, what is the reason? Just tell me, if you can help, I will definitely help."

Tian Gui sighed:

"Oh, there's no need for it. Cousin, if you intervene in this matter, it will dirty your hands instead."

He continued:
"The grandfather of the Zhang family boy is said to have rescued a treasurer in the provincial capital many years ago, and the two families have engaged in a baby marriage. The marriage should have been with the Zhang family boy's father, but a letter was sent by someone. Give a response, and this matter will be considered impossible.”

Mrs. Song understands:
"So they popped up again? To fulfill the agreement?"

"That's not it, they just came to discuss the marriage. They were the ones who didn't keep their promises. It's just that they talked with the Zhang family, and at the same time publicized it to the outside world, saying that my family borrowed..."

Tian Fu said, glanced at his cousin, lowered his voice, and continued:

"Using the power of the county's master Juren to oppress others, he also said that the Zhang family is climbing high branches. After such a disturbance, even if the two of them cannot get married, my daughter will definitely not be able to marry the Zhang family."

Song Nian pondered, always feeling that something was wrong.

If I really want to get married, I can definitely lure it for profit. After all, the Zhang family and the Tian family have no friendship, but they just fancy the Tian family's dowry.

The family who was the shopkeeper of the restaurant decades ago has the ability to find this place from Fucheng, so they will never be short of money, and they can definitely pay a higher dowry than the Tian family, so this matter will be resolved.

And why bother to talk about my own family who didn't go too far in this matter?

He asked again in detail:
"Does my cousin know what restaurant this shopkeeper works in?"

Tian Fu thought about it, hesitated and said:
"Tell me what Xianglou is."

Song Nian was startled, speechless.

Seeing her son's expression, Mrs. Song became anxious. She patted his shoulder and asked:

"What do you remember? What's going on?"

Song Nian restrained his expression, and smiled comfortingly at his family members:
"It's nothing, it's just that when I went to Fucheng, I had dinner at his house."

Mrs. Song was quite dissatisfied with this restaurant. Although she was worried, she would not be in a hurry if her natal family was involved. If her son was involved, she couldn't bear it.

"What kind of broken restaurant, the minions raised are so unreasonable, you are not allowed to go to his house in the future."

Song Nian repeatedly answered yes, and changed the subject again:
"Cousin don't have to worry, just let Sister Man stay at home for a while, and just learn needlework from Mother Ru."

Mrs. Song echoed:

"Dalang, don't worry, the girl is not too old, and she can find out slowly. It's not just his Zhang family who wants to marry a wife in this world. With our girl's conditions, it's okay to come to the county. It's okay. You can give her to me with peace of mind, and I will also pay attention to Hao Erlang who is nearby."

Song Nian said again:

"As for the shopkeeper, there's no need to confront him. They don't care about the Zhang family, so let them get married. After my cousin returns, he must explain this clearly in front of the folks."
