The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 156 Early Spring
The first month of this year is really amazing. Eight out of ten days the sun rises. The first month has not yet come out. Many trees have sprouted, and the farming time has been advanced.

Butler Li, who is a veteran of the crops, is worried: "Master, do we want our peppers to be able to grow seedlings?"

Compared with previous years, Shengsheng is more than a month earlier!
"Grow it, keep warm at night to prevent the cold in the spring! Keep half of the seeds, and if the batch freezes to death in the end, you can replenish the seedlings again."

"What about wheat, broad beans and konjac?"

"Let's discuss it with a few more dealers. This year's konjac is more varied, and last year's konjac vermicelli sold well."

"Okay, do you want to open up wasteland again this year?"

"Let's go, buy more manure, and plant broad beans and konjac in the wasteland!"

In modern times, people always talk about the greenhouse effect, and when the Chinese New Year is like spring, Cuihua doesn't worry about it.

For this year's spring banquet, she was going to show Zhao Leiting his daughter-in-law. Outsiders thought Zhao Leiting was Cuihua's distant relative.

This year's largest spring banquet was held in Duke Wei's mansion, and it was heard that there were too many wives and young ladies who came to see the grandchildren of the first wife.

Gao Qianli, who is only 14 years old this year, is red-faced and teased by several companions.

"Oh, why are you ashamed? They are all about to marry a wife, second brother, tell me, what kind of wife do you want to marry?"

Qin Ke is careless, he doesn't think it's embarrassing to talk about his wife, this kid hasn't figured it out yet.

"Yes, yes, but Cai Hanwen has experience in this matter, and he has a fiancée!" Yuan Wenwu booed, seeing Gao Qianli blushing, it was so interesting.

Cai Hanwen looked depressed. It is said that his mother took over his treasury, and he didn't buy the book he wanted. He said listlessly:

"My fiancée was decided when I was seven years old, and she was only four years old at that time! I haven't seen her since then!"

"Tsk tsk, it's still baby girl!"

"Excuse me, let's talk about the second brother's daughter-in-law. Second brother, do you like the family of civil servants or the family of generals? Do you like the lively ones or the quiet ones?" .

"Here, is this something I can decide?" Gao Qianli blushed so much that he could bleed, why is he at the age of talking about his wife?He is obviously still a child!

Several people sighed together, yes, this daughter-in-law can marry whoever they want?
Yuan Wenjie said: "My mother said, we two brothers only talk about getting married, our opinions are the main ones, my mother does not engage in blind marriages."

"Wow! I also want to be Mrs. Yuan's son!" Qin Ke's eyes turned green with envy.

Cai Hanwen: "Madam Yuan is a hero!"

Yuan Daxia was watching Meng's daughter-in-law with great interest, only to see her and the wife who brought the little lady to her to talk to her, and said a few words, playing the game sharply.

The little ladies all lowered their heads shyly, and only answered politely after being called.

Cuihua pulled Xiang Shi, and asked in a low voice: "This way we can choose a daughter-in-law? We only have one face-to-face meeting!"

Xiang Shi laughed: "If you can bring it to me, you must have already screened the situation at home. The little lady herself is not the most important thing."

Well, in this dynasty, the emphasis is on the right family, and it seems that the women from these families are not very different. I guess no matter how naive they are, they also have a masked side.

"Hey, then tell me, how can I find my nephew and wife?"

"Your family hasn't held a spring banquet yet, why don't you make a fuss about it? When you send the post, mention a sentence to show your nephew to the house. If you are interested, you will definitely be able to bring the right person. Go to your home!"

"I just find it troublesome, and if there are ready-made ones, why bother to make such a big fuss!"

"What do you want to find for your nephew?"

"Well, simple-minded, cheerful, and good-looking!"

"Do you have any requirements for family background?"

"As long as the family background is clean, it's fine. My nephew's family used to be from the countryside, but now there are only two brothers and sisters living in my house. After they get married, they will live with us."

"What kind of relative is this in your family?"

"It's not blood relatives either, but on the way to escape from the famine, it's considered a life-and-death encounter with us, and it's considered half of my family's son!"

"You are too kind, we thought it was our own nephew, but that said, it should be a good choice!"

"My Lei Ting family is very good, young man, capable of both literature and martial arts, and running around with my uncle. From now on, we should hand over all the general affairs of our house to him. I don't want to marry him A girl or a girl in the village is afraid of wronging him."

"The young man's condition is not bad. Allow me to inquire about this matter for a few days, and wait for my news. Such a good young man, he can't be cheaper than others, so he is against the fact that your house does not accept concubines. I don't know how many have daughters. Mother cares about the kid in your house!"

"Then please, I'm really inexperienced, and this is my first time!"

"This time I will give you a letter of approval. Last time about your brother, there will be no suitable person for a while, and they will not be able to help you. You are not happy or unhappy!"

"How come? I'm sure I appreciate it, and sometimes, fate can't be explained clearly. It seems that you can get on the line from Chengdu Mansion, and my second brother will marry a wife by the end of the year."

"Hurry up and tell me in detail, is this the head of the Fan family?"

"."

It may be that married women like to get involved in this matter, and there is no end to the topic of seeing each other. This year, there is another important person who needs to see his wife and daughter-in-law, Prince Xia Yan!
For the 14-year-old prince, it will take three years from engagement to marriage. The courtiers urged one after another, reminding the emperor that the prince is almost an adult, and the princess should be settled.

Xia Hongdi became impatient. He felt that his son marrying a wife meant that he was old, but he was only in his early thirties!After much deliberation, I felt that the queen should worry about this matter.

"Queen, do you have any suggestions for the candidate for the crown princess?"

"Your Majesty, it's all a draft anyway, so let's choose from the show girls. There are no good candidates for concubines."

Her natal family does not have nieces of the right age. To her, as long as they are not from other concubines' natal families, there is not much difference. Besides, with the heart of a dog man, she should not choose a bad family for her own son. .

Xia Hongdi's heart was warmed by the Queen's trust, and he didn't regret his age at once. The age gap between these sons is not too big. It took a lot of effort and money to organize a draft, so let's just decide for them at once. .

After two rounds of discussions between the emperor and the Ministry of Rituals, the matter of drafting was finalized, and they were handed over to start the process.

"Good news, good news! Have you heard? This year the emperor will have a general election, and he will choose a concubine for the crown prince!"

"Why didn't I hear that this time, we selected girls between the ages of eight and thirteen, and there are thousands of people who signed up in the entire capital!"

"Does your family have a suitable one?" "Why not!"

"Now it's fun to watch again!"

The scope of Xia Hongdi's selection in this draft is relatively wide. In addition to age, family background needs to be innocent within three generations.

He also said to the prince Xia Yan: "I will choose a princess for you, what kind of concubine do you want in your heart, you can tell your father, and then I can help you hold your eyes."

This was embarrassing for the prince, so he nodded after a long while: "Father, please allow me to think about it."

Turning around, I anxiously recruited the six companions: "You guys help Gu think about what kind of princess he wants to choose!"

He didn't want to ask the Crown Prince and Tai Tuo's group of people, and let him analyze the pros and cons of power. When his father was only thirty, he might have to work for another 30 years. He didn't want to choose the Crown Princess. That kind of He has a prominent family background.

Several people received the task, so they had to play the role of cobblers.

Yuan Wenjie also took a large piece of white paper and dipped it in ink.

Write on the left: must, write on the right: must not.

The cobblers spoke one after another:

"It must be good-looking, gentle, literate, not ugly, not vulgar."

"It must have a good family style, outstanding character and talent!"

"Don't be too thoughtful, have a sharp personality, and be competitive!"

"Look for someone who likes children and can get along well with younger siblings!"

"Do you want"

The more I wrote, the more I wrote, and even one sheet of paper was not enough. The prince was dumbfounded:

"According to what you wrote, where can I find such a perfect princess? The most important thing is, apart from appearance and talent, how can these qualities be seen?"

"Don't they still have to live in the palace for three months? During these three months, we can set different topics for them and try in various ways!"

"Hey, it's really troublesome. I'm worried about being alone. It would be great if you have a suitable sister in your family!"

"Your Highness, women in our Yuan Mansion don't allow men to take concubines. If my mother gives birth to a daughter, do you think she will be happy? You won't just marry a princess!"

Xia Yan was choked up by Yuan Wenwu's words: "Is it up to the lonely to marry how many lonely?"

"So, it's so hard to be a girl in the Yuan Mansion. It's rare for a man who is willing to marry only one daughter-in-law!"

"I can!" Qin Ke patted his chest!

"I don't have a younger sister!" Brother Qiqi replied.

"Pfft!" Everyone was overjoyed, this Qin Ke was only thinking of marrying the Yuan Mansion, but the Yuan Manor had no daughters!

"Cousin is fine too!" Qin Ke said that he would not choose, how could a cousin who grew up in Yuan Mansion be any worse?
"Then you just wait, cousin is not my mother's decision!"

"Hey, anyway, let me sign up first, so that my aunt will count me in when the time comes, and I can guarantee that I will only marry one daughter-in-law!"

The more Qin Ke talked, the more he felt that this was a good idea. If he could marry his brother's cousin, it would be an extra kiss.

Yuan Wenjie followed Qin Ke who was excited, and turned the topic back: "I'm talking about the selection of the crown princess. You're going so far. My cousin is still young. Let's talk about it when I grow up!"

There is no elder brother who is willing to see his brother and miss his little sister!

Several people put their minds back on these few sheets of paper, deleting, deleting, and subtracting, thinking about choosing the most perfect princess for the prince.

Some people are worried, some are envious, Cuihua is the admirer, she sighs to Heiwa:

"It's really easy for the royal family to choose a daughter-in-law. The best daughters-in-law in the country are all lined up for them to choose!"

Seeing that Cuihua was sour, Heiwa said with relief: "Our family has raised a few boys so well. Marrying a daughter-in-law is more popular than princes!"

"Hahaha, from what you said, our house seems to be a bit competitive! Fortunately, the crown prince is a few years older than our son, and we will choose a daughter-in-law a few years later. At that time, hehe!"

"That's right, that's right, Zhao Leiting is actually easy to find a wife, let's choose one with a simpler family for him, this kid is not lacking in intelligence, as long as he is not too outrageous, he can live a good life!"

"This is not the first time for me. I always want to choose a perfect one. Zhao Leiting is not very old, so I can choose slowly!"

"You're right to think so, you silly woman, in a feudal society, mother-in-law is the best thing to be!"

"Are you itchy? I think you need to clean up!"

"My skin is itchy, come here!"

Daxia Yuan is not afraid of this kind of provocation, and she is very experienced in dealing with men.
