Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 212

Naturally there is no more than a hundred acres of land, but in order to facilitate this marriage, Mrs. Song naturally has to exaggerate her words.If it wasn't for a young man from the Du family studying in the academy and knowing Yan Cen, she would still want to lower Yan Cen's age, boast about his appearance, and then hide the fact that he was married.

She didn't wait for Mrs. Chen to speak, and said: "Since that gentleman can become a gentleman in the academy in the name of a scholar, his knowledge is naturally excellent. This autumn he is going to participate in the Qiuwei, and when he wins the Juren, The eldest sister of your family is a woman. Isn’t it better than marrying a fifteen- or six-year-old boy who doesn’t even have the status of a child-born scholar? This woman must marry a promising husband in order to live a good life. At the same time , can also help my natal brother.”

Du Jinning didn't know the specific situation of Yan Cen, and she didn't have time to inquire, but she once told Mrs. Chen that Yan Cen was about 25 or [-] years old, which coincided with what Mrs. Song said.After hearing these words, Mrs. Chen became more determined in her heart.But she didn't hear the name, she still didn't show any clues, just listened with a smile.

In fact, Mrs. Song didn't have much to say after talking about these things. Seeing that there was no surprise on Chen's face, she had no choice but to praise Yan Cen's kindness and gentle temper, and then asked Chen: "I don't know Mrs. Du's opinion of this marriage." how about?"

However, Mrs. Chen laughed and said: "The one who hides his head and shows his tail, dare not even say his name, how can I accept it? I can only thank Aunt Song for her kindness."

Hearing this, Mrs. Song didn't panic, Yan Cen had already helped to find a reason for this problem.

She said: "It's not that I dare not say it. Your little brother is a student of the academy. It would be good if the marriage is settled; if the marriage fails, if your little brother leaks a word in the academy, wouldn't that gentleman be in a situation?" Embarrassed? Naturally, I have to see if you have thought about this marriage. "

As she spoke, she stared at Chen Shi, wanting to see if Chen Shi was pretending.

Mrs. Chen smiled: "That's it, forget it. You go back and tell this gentleman that our family is small and we can't afford it."

"Uh, this..." Mrs. Song was also a little embarrassed. She also knew that if she didn't even say her name, she would definitely not agree to the marriage rashly.It's just that Mrs. Chen is too calm, right?Shouldn't you be excited after hearing such a good marriage?Is it right to ask this and that with interest, or continue to ask Yan Cen's name?Why is her reaction a bit wrong?

But the same kind of rice raises all kinds of people, Chen's temper is also a bit weird, she didn't think about it, she opened her mouth and wanted to continue to persuade: "Why is this? Such a good family..."

Mrs. Chen really didn't have the patience to listen to her nonsense, so she interrupted her directly: "No matter how good a family is, I won't agree to betroth my daughter to someone who doesn't even mention her name. That's all right, please, I'll pay you back." I have a lot of work to do, but I don't have time to chat with you." Then he stood up.

Mrs. Song had no choice but to sneer and say, "No, no, since you said that, then I told you his name. His name is Yan Cen, and he is from the Yan family in the city. You know the Yan family, right? Aristocratic families, there are still many people who are high officials in the capital and other places."

Yan Cen?It really was him!Not only did he embarrass Du Jinning on the first day of school, but he also wanted to get Du Fangfei's idea. It's really a heart-wrenching dog, and it's disgusting to come to the door.

Chen couldn't pretend anymore, pointed at the door and shouted to Mrs. Song: "Get out, get out immediately."

Mrs. Song really didn't expect that as soon as she said Yan Cen's name, Mrs. Chen would immediately turn against her.

"Hey, Mrs. Du, I didn't blame you. The child was naughty in the academy and the husband said a few words. It was for his own good. Why do you blame the husband..." She still wanted to reconcile and persuade her.

But before she finished speaking, Mrs. Chen took out a broom out of nowhere, and swept towards Mrs. Song: "Get out of here."

"Oh, what are you doing?" Mrs. Song ran out in a hurry, and while retreating to the courtyard gate, she yelled, "If you have something to say, why did you beat up a matchmaker? Who dares to come to your door? There are three of you in your family." Daughter, if your reputation spreads, do you still want to marry your daughter?"

When Du Fangfei and the three heard the sound, they all ran out of the kitchen.

When Mrs. Song saw Du Fangfei, her eyes lit up.

Du Fangfei's skin is not the kind that is easy to tan. She used to do farm work all day, and she was quite fair.Now that he has covered himself for a whole winter, and stayed at home after moving out from Du's house, he ate well during this time, and his skin became more delicate and fair.Her facial features are very good, and she has a slim figure, and she wears a light green muslin dress made for her by the Chen family. Once she stands there, people can't take their eyes off it.

When Mrs. Chen saw that Mrs. Song dared to look at her eldest daughter, she was very anxious, wishing to tear these people alive.At first, she was just pretending and didn't really hit people, but now she was not polite at all, and hit Pozi Song with a broom, which shocked Pozi Song.

"Mrs. Du, Mrs. Du, listen to me, listen to me..." Mrs. Song tried to persuade her while dodging.Such a beautiful woman, if she can help Yan Cen, maybe she can get a few more taels of silver.It doesn't hurt to hit someone with a broom, even if it takes a few hits to get things done, it's worth it.

But Du Fangfei's three sisters got their mother's advice earlier, and their minds were tense, thinking that Mrs. Song must not be a good person. Seeing that her mother even used a broom, Du Fanghui quickly left under Du Fangfei's order. Dong Dacheng called for someone, while Du Fangfei and Du Fangling each drew a piece of firewood under the eaves, and came forward to help their mother, and Qi Qi drew it to Mrs. Song.

Mrs. Song was so frightened that she almost lost her courage, she hurriedly exited the gate and ran towards the academy.But he didn't want to be stopped by Dong Dacheng and Aunt Dong after only running a few steps.

"I'm wronged, I came here for a kiss, how can I treat a matchmaker like this?" Seeing a man coming, Mrs. Song yelled recklessly, covering her head for fear of suffering a big loss.

When Dong Dacheng and his wife heard that Du Fanghui rushed to report, they thought they were some bad guys.Now seeing that it was an old woman who said she was coming to kiss her, she hesitated and looked at Mrs. Chen.

Someone came to propose a marriage, but was kicked out by a broom. It is really not good to spread the word.In addition to Du Fangfei, the Chen family also has two daughters to marry, so they really dare not lose such a reputation.

She stopped Du Fangfei and his sisters, and first said to Dong Dacheng and his wife, "We'll talk about this later." Turning to Mrs. Song, she shouted, "Go back and tell Yan Cen that Mr. Qi's grandson is my brother Ning's friend. If he wants to plot against my family in such a way, I have to hold Mr. Qi to justify it. If you think about it, the Guan family will not ignore this matter."
