Marry the first wife

Mrs. Fu patted Fu Yao's hand and said, "Today is really a good day."

Fu Yao's eyes fell on the shy and timid third brother and Shen Zhaoxian who had just come back and were confused, and her heart suddenly thumped.

She looked at the young man's eyes as dark as the night sky below, and a sense of powerlessness surged towards her.

What do you vaguely understand?

Rubbing her thumbs continuously, she looked at her grandmother who was about to speak with a smile, suppressing the sour feeling in her heart. Fu Yao pretended to be puzzled and said, "Grandma, what kind of a good day is today?"

Mrs. Fu nodded happily at the young man's eyebrows. She was stingy with her praises for the girl's merit.

"Didn't Zhaoxian's doll carry a marriage certificate before?" He glanced at Shen Zhaoxian and said in a calm tone: "Now that the scientific examination is almost over, I will discuss with your mother to put this matter on the agenda."

Shen Zhaoxian looked at Fu Yao, who was very close to Mrs. Fu, and felt happy. He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Grandma, this matter..."

Before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Mrs. Fu:

"Old lady, I know you young people are thin-skinned. What's more, you still have the imperial examination and have not participated in it. Your marriage will have to wait until after the imperial examination at least."

Mrs. Xie sat aside and smiled without saying a word.

She kept thinking about her own little calculations, and got news from her brother a few days ago, saying that His Majesty will most likely use students from poor families in the future, so that she should pay attention to it.

A poor student, there happens to be one in my family.

No, she set her sights on this person in the palace. Logically speaking, Fu Yao should marry Shen Zhaoxian, which would make it more obvious that General Jingyuan's palace valued Shen Zhaoxian.

However, Fu Yao has been betrothed to the second son of the Li family.

Compared with the second son of the Li family, Shen Zhaoxian is really not worthy of attention.

Becoming a disciple of the Emperor and crossing the Dragon Gate with a crucian carp is something that will happen in the future. Besides, she is not planning to marry Zhou Chuyao to Shen Zhaoxian.

Girl Chuyao is her niece. In terms of closeness, her legitimate niece is not as close as Girlchuyao.

Shen Zhaoxian glanced at Fu Yao, who was bowing his head silently, feeling the eyes from everyone, and smiled without saying a word.

His daughter's family is thin-skinned, and there are some things that he can't say directly.

Mrs. Fu has talked about his marriage before, I think...

A slight smile appeared on Shen Zhaoxian's lips, and he cupped his hands towards Mrs. Xie. The tips of his ears slowly turned red until they turned crimson.

Zhou Chuyao looked at the crimson-faced person standing in the middle, her smiling eyes flashed with an unclear light, she raised her hand and touched her lower abdomen, and a soft color appeared in her eyes.

Everyone in the room had different thoughts, only Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Fu were satisfied.

In the afternoon, Fu Yao stood behind Anheyuan and practiced her calligraphy wholeheartedly. She had made some progress after practicing hard for many days.

"Girl, the third young master is here."

Gu Yu looked at his girl's shocked and calm face, feeling sour in his heart.

The girl has always been a sensible person in front of everyone. Even if she doesn't want to, she won't say it clearly. The girl has not enjoyed the honor brought by General Jingyuan's mansion for many years.

But the eldest lady has to control the girl's marriage.

Fu Yao put down the wolf hair in her hand and said gently: "Let the third brother come in."

Fu Weiyuan walked over with a decent smile on his face. He knew more or less what happened these days from his two brothers.

Fu Yao looked at the third brother and said with a smile: "My sister also congratulates the third brother for his victory? It's not too late to make up for it now."

Fu Weiyuan glanced at the freshly baked copybook, and then at his soft-faced sister. “You don’t have to hold on in front of me, just cry if you want to.”

Fu Yao was startled and pretended to be puzzled: "Third brother, what are you talking about? Yaoyao doesn't understand?"

Fu Weiyuan, who was playing with the teacup, said calmly: "Are you really willing to marry that Mr. Li?"

Fu Yao raised her eyebrows, raised the corners of her lips and said with a smile: "Why don't you want to? My parents ordered me to be a matchmaker. I am lucky to marry the second son of the Li family."

Looking into the distance with dry eyes: "After I marry the second young master of the Li family, I will definitely have no worries about food and clothing."

"Oh?"

She poured herself a cup of hot tea, stared at the rising wisp of smoke, and said calmly: "So what if you want to? What if you don't want to?"

"Yao Yao, has anyone ever said that you are too good?"

She shook her head, her face didn't look very good, it was very pale.

"Brother, did I do something wrong?"

Fu Weiyuan nodded, naturally replaced the cup of hot tea that Fu Yao poured for him, put the warm water he poured into his sister's hand, and whispered: "You live your life, you know whether the water is cold or warm when you drink it! Yaoyao .”

He let out a long sigh, his usually calm eyes filled with a little pity.

Fu Yao raised her head and smiled, "Third brother, do I have a choice? If you don't marry the second son of the Li family, you will ruin the reputation of the children of the Fu family."

"Brother, that's why I don't cry, let alone cry. I don't dare to have any resistance."

"My family has supported me for sixteen years, but I haven't received a single cent in return. Now I just take the lead."

Fu Weiyuan met Fu Yao's tearful eyes and said in a reassuring tone: "Yao Yao, do you know why I came here today?"

The girl's tense face met her brother's calm gaze, and she was immediately defeated, "I don't know."

"I told my mother something about the mother of the second son of the Li family secretly lending loan sharks. How would my mother respond?" He said it calmly, as if it was just a joke.

As soon as the third brother's words came out of his mouth, Fu Yao's eyes widened and she looked at the smiling man in front of her in disbelief, and exclaimed: "Isn't it fake?"

The Li family is an imperial businessman, how could they secretly loan usury just for a few taels of silver?

Imperial law stipulates that officials are not allowed to loan money without permission. Anyone who violates this rule will lose their official position and may even have their entire family exiled.

The Li family has no officials in the government, and the other is just an imperial businessman. As long as no one knows about the private loan sharking, it will not have much impact on the Li family.

A tree that is big and attracts the wind is also deeply rooted. A thousand-mile embankment can be built in one day.

"Third brother, don't make fun of my sister." Fu Yao's joy suddenly fell to the bottom.

Fu Weiyuan looked at the small woman in front of him quietly, frowned, and said with a smile: "Of course I know this is not a particularly important matter to the Li family."

"Fundamentally speaking, it will not affect your marriage, sister."

"There's just one thing. If my mother knows about the Li family, she will definitely have doubts. I'm afraid the wedding will have to be postponed."

As soon as these words came out, Fu Yao instantly understood what her third brother was thinking. If the marriage was delayed, things might change. She was still the daughter of the Fu family.

What the third brother wanted was never for his grandmother and Mrs. Xie to completely give up on the marriage, but for Mrs. Xie to have concerns.
