Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1395 Famine, Natural Disasters 553
Several young people gathered in Mingyi's courtyard.

Stepping into this small courtyard, Cheng Mingyue's eyes were red. Afraid of being discovered, she lowered her head and frowned, using her eyelids to hide the cold hatred in her eyes.

"I seldom come to Yiyi's yard. I didn't expect that the grass and trees in the yard are growing so well. It's rare in this winter." The youngest boy, Cheng Mingxin, had admiration and joy in his eyes. He was engaged at the age of 20, but had not yet married.

Among the descendants of the Cheng family, Cheng Mingyi and Cheng Mingzhi had been married for a long time, but no children were born over the years. They secretly consulted many doctors, but they all said that there was nothing wrong with their health and that no matter how hard they tried, they had no children.

Cheng Mingyue was thirteen years old and was engaged to a scholar named Chen. She was going to get married when she reached the age of marriage.

Cheng Mingxin and Cheng Minglian, one was twenty years old and the other was twenty-one years old; both were engaged but not married.

Even the youngest, Mingyi, has found a home.

"What's not good about my little cousin's yard? Nanny Zhao who is beside her is a capable person. She keeps everything in perfect order." Cheng Minglian raised his eyebrows and spoke. The grown-up boy worked all year round and was strong and healthy. He spoke with envy.

The little cousin is the only heir in their family who owns private property, and it is said that Nanny Zhao is in charge of the land and business under Mingyi's name.

However, they didn’t know how much wealth their little cousin had.

Cheng Mingzhi and Cheng Mingyi did not come with them. There were only five of their generation gathered in the courtyard, plus Chunmei and Aunt Zhao who came back with Mingyi.

"My two cousins, it's cold outside, let's talk inside." She didn't spend much time with them, so their feelings were a little distant; but at least they had their past friendship, and since they didn't go too far, she just listened.

Envy is human nature.

Understand and respect.

Cheng Mingli chuckled and stood beside his sister. "Third cousin, fourth cousin, eldest cousin, please come in. It's freezing cold, it's warmer inside."

Several people walked into the house, and Chunmei brought them hot tea. On the day of the engagement, the family was indeed busy; all the necessary things were prepared, such as tea and cakes. In recent years, the fruit trees she planted in her early years had already borne fruit, and there were several kinds of fruits to eat at home.

Things like grapes, citrus fruits, etc. are never lacking in the house.

Autumn and winter are the seasons when citrus fruits ripen. Since the place where the fruit seedlings are planted is covered, warmth is maintained afterwards. Grapes are also available even in very cold weather. Chunmei saw that there were washed grapes and citrus fruits in the kitchen, so she picked out some that looked good and brought them to the yard.

The brothers and sisters of the family gathered around the round table in the flower hall, drinking tea, eating snacks and occasionally eating fruits. The atmosphere was not very lively, but quiet.

After eating for a while, Cheng Mingli asked, "Yiyi, why did the prince suddenly come to propose marriage? Logically, he should wait until you are two years older before proposing marriage."

"It's better to get engaged earlier. Mingyue was engaged when she was twelve years old." Cheng Minglian didn't care.

Mingyi opened her mouth and smiled at Cheng Minglian. It just so happened that she didn't know either. If Zhou Ting wanted to propose marriage, then let him do it. They would be together sooner or later.

"After Mingyi gets engaged, she will be the daughter of another family." Cheng Mingxin felt a little disappointed. His disappointment was naturally reflected on his face. He continued in a low mood, "Why don't the sisters in our family marry a son-in-law? It would be great to have one at home. We don't have to worry about people bullying Mingyue and Mingyi, and our younger generations can still play together in the future."

"You're just thinking about playing around." Cheng Minglian slapped him on the back of his head and said unhappily, "Which good man is willing to marry into a family these days? Do you know what it means to marry into a family? It means being inferior to someone else. Who would be willing to do that if they have a bit of backbone? It's not like they can't make ends meet."

Cheng Mingxin was still disappointed. Cheng Mingyue ignored their conversation and just ate and drank without saying a word.

Cheng Mingli and others did not think there was anything wrong with her honest appearance; instead of comparing herself with others every day, Cheng Mingyue should just work honestly and be an honest and decent girl.

"However, we didn't expect Mingyi to get engaged so early." Cheng Minglian added, changing the subject, "It will take two or three years for Mingyi to get married. It's still a long time. In the next three years, Mingyi won't leave, right?"

Mingyi shook her head, "I don't know. Let's see. We are engaged now. It will be more convenient for us to travel in the future."

"So, getting engaged too early isn't a good idea." He had just said it was good to get engaged early, but immediately changed his mind.

Cheng Mingli peeled an orange and handed it to his sister, then said as if he was watching a good show, "Didn't Third Cousin just say that everything was fine? His accent has changed in just a few moments."

"That's not what I expected!"

"My sister got engaged too early. She should stay for a few more years." He looked down at his sister beside him, feeling very uncomfortable. He whispered, "I haven't entered the government yet. If my sister marries into a high-class family, there will be no one to support her in the future."

As soon as the topic was brought up, Cheng Minglian and Cheng Mingxin both paused; but after a moment, they recovered.

They were of no help. They had no ability or literary talent, and their cousin had married into a powerful family in the northwest. The one her cousin could rely on was not their Cheng family, but her teacher and the importance the palace attached to her.

Without the help from her mother’s family, it’s hard to say how my cousin would live.

Thinking of this, they became sad.

Cheng Mingyue pursed her lips and sneered secretly; marrying into a wealthy family made them worried, why didn't they think about the fact that her fiancé was a scholar, how would she live in the future?

They are cousins ​​from the same family. The elder sister married a scholar, and the younger sister is destined to marry into a wealthy family. They are all trying to curry favor with each other. Even though they were not sad before, they pretend to be sad now.

hypocritical!

"Brother, just follow your own pace. After a woman gets married, she can't just rely on her parents' family; she has to stand on her own. Princess Zhou is gentle and kind, and she knows what to do. As long as I don't make any mistakes, the princess won't make things difficult for me." Juren can also enter the officialdom, but the starting point is a bit lower.

At present, people in the northwest cannot participate in the palace examination, and cannot enter the officialdom through the imperial examination.

"Brother, have you ever thought about entering the government early? The northwest has been stable for the past few years, and no war has come in. As far as I know, the kings and princes in the Central Plains have already shown signs of defeat, and the weather is running out. The foreign tribes were defeated by the Zhou prince, and the only border left is the grassland, which is too vast to be attacked. After a few years, the grassland has long been dependent on the northwest for food and goods, and relies on the northwest rulers to survive. For now, there will be no changes."

"As a juren, you can enter the government, even if your starting point is a little low, but at least you can see your career path; and if you are promoted based on your merits, with the Crown Prince of Zhou around, those powerful people will not deny you face."

Entering the official career early was my plan; however, the more I read, the more I felt that I did not have the moral character to enter the official career.

If virtue is not matched, there will be disasters.

Cheng Mingli hesitated again for a moment. He and his father chose to postpone it because of their own ability problems; however, it has been postponed for three years. If they postpone it any further, how long will it take?
