Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 85
A few days ago, two matchmakers also came to the Yun family, but the ones they helped talk about were ordinary families with good conditions. If it was Yun Cheng's ancestor, Yun Cheng, or even Yun Cheng who hadn't reached the age of marriage, Hui said that they would definitely be very happy, but with Yun Chengyao, they were not satisfied no matter how they looked at it.

The three who came today brought them three women with very exciting conditions!
When there is no suitable candidate, I feel anxious and panic, and suddenly there are several choices that make it difficult to choose, which is even more worrying.

Compared with the others, Yun Chengyao was calmer, and secretly winked at his mother, Mrs. Zhang. The latter understood quickly, and immediately asked the three matchmakers about the specific situation of the three families, including the family situation and the situation of the girl. , as well as how much dowry to give, how much dowry, etc.

After the three matchmakers explained each other, the joy of the members of the Yun family cooled down a little.

The three matchmakers sat for a while, and the old lady, as the representative of the Yun family, said that she had to think about it for a few days, so she asked them to leave first. After only her own family was left in the house, the female family members who had been silent all the time began to express their opinions, and Everyone thinks differently.

Wang said: "I don't think there is any hesitation in this matter. The conditions of Mr. Zheng's family are the best, and the dowry given is the most generous. With this money, Cheng Yao will continue to spend for the entrance examination in the future. There is no need to worry about it at home, let alone go to the compound to ask for it, but also to see the face of Jing Hao's wife's little bastard."

Yun Xiaoyan is a junior, it's not her turn to intervene at this time, but she silently nodded in agreement with his mother's opinion.

But Mrs. Zhang stared and said: "Master Zheng only has some money, but he is just an ordinary citizen, and he will not help Cheng Yao in the future exams. Compared with a small landlord, there is also the one who is just a lifetime Even the old scholar He Xiucai couldn't go any further, only the county magistrate's family is the most suitable and can help Cheng Yao!"

Yun Chengzu's eyes lit up and he said: "If the county magistrate becomes my brother's father-in-law, our family will be considered to have relatives with the official in the future, and it would be prestige to say it out! Besides, if we can get married with the official, in the future Will it be difficult for my brother to get a good grade in the exam with a backing?"

"Cheng Zu is right." Mrs. Zhao also shared the same opinion as Mrs. Zhang, "Master Zheng's family is very rich, but if Cheng Yao took too much money from his wife's family, it would definitely not sound good to say it. It would be better to use the contacts of the county magistrate to make his official career go more smoothly, and he will become an official sooner, and the official is afraid that no one will take the initiative to send money to us?"

"But that will have to wait for Cheng Yao to continue to take the exam, and the next exam will have to wait for a long time?" Wang said dissatisfied.

Old Master Yun said in a deep voice, "The township examination will take three years."

In fact, there will be in August this year, but Yun Chengyao has just passed the examination of scholar, and if he wants to continue the examination, the current level must be a lot worse, even after three years, he may not be sure of the examination.

"Listen! It will take another three years. In these three years, the academy has to continue studying. How much will it cost? There are still many children in the family who have not married. Xiaoting Xiaoyan and the others should also find their in-laws. Hui, next year will be fifteen, and it is time to marry a daughter-in-law, don’t you have to spend money, and the family can make money, but they can’t afford so much expenses.”

Mrs. Zhang glared at Mrs. Wang unhappily, "What do you mean by that? In order to save some money for the family, my family Cheng Yao has to follow your wishes and only choose a daughter-in-law with a rich dowry, and don't even look at this daughter-in-law. Will it help him in the future? No matter how much the dowry is, there will always be a day when it will be spent, so what will happen after that? Brother and sister, with such shallow eyelids, the family will suffer a lot in the future."

"Sister-in-law, who are you saying has shallow eyelids!" Wang rolled up her sleeves angrily, "I'm not thinking about this family, what happens in the future is a matter for the future, the key is to take care of the present. ? If life can’t go on any longer, what is there to do!”

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law each have their own reasons. Occasionally, Yun Chengzu and Yun Chengji interjected a few words of support, and they almost didn't fight.

Originally, even if Mrs. Zhao was not on the side of one of them, she should have fanned the flames and said something sarcastic, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhao's eyes were only twinkling at this time, with a thoughtful expression on her face, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"All right, all right! Stop arguing! My head hurts from the quarrel!" The old lady yelled angrily, and cast an impatient glance at the two daughters-in-law, but did not clearly explain her position.

In fact, if she really wanted to say something, she was also inclined towards the Wang family. She liked Mr. Zheng's family who was willing to give a generous dowry. Apart from some large pieces of furniture, jewelry and other valuables, she was willing to give out 200 yuan for cash alone. Two taels of silver, this is incomparable to the 20 taels of He Lao Xiucai's family, or the 50 taels of the county magistrate's family.

However, the old lady is also hard to let go of Yan Xiuhuo who has become in-laws with the county magistrate. With the county magistrate as a support, maybe they can close the restaurant that stole the hot and sour powder recipe and compete with them for business, so that their own I can definitely make more money from my business as before, and I can make up for it in other ways if the dowry is slightly less.

At this moment, Mr. Yun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked Yun Chengyao: "Chengyao, what do you think? Which of the three companies do you think is more satisfactory?"

If it's another junior in the family, the old man and the old lady will decide according to their own wishes, but when it's Yun Chengyao's turn, the situation is different.

The rest of the family were dissatisfied with such blatant eccentricity, but they all pricked up their ears curious about Yun Chengyao's thoughts.

Yun Chengyao was silent for a long time before shaking his head helplessly, "Marriage matters should be decided by parents and elders, and I have no objection."

That being said, in fact, he certainly knows that he has enough decision-making power in his own marriage. Even if his family members object to it, he has a way to get them to nod.

But the problem is that he himself can't make up his mind for a while.

It stands to reason that these three families don't mention the dowry, but only their status. A landlord, a scholar, and a county magistrate must have the highest status. Being married to the county magistrate has more benefits than the other two, but... ... The girl Wu Matchmaker came to propose marriage to was not the daughter of the county magistrate's wife, but the daughter of a concubine.

Although the Yun family is not a high-ranking family, they are very ordinary mud-legged people, and it is not their turn to despise the daughter of the county magistrate's family, but Yun Chengyao is proud and arrogant. How could he marry a concubine to give birth to a daughter? It's hard to say.

If the students know about it, it's hard to guarantee that someone won't whisper in secret.

Old Master Yun also had concerns in this regard, so he didn't express his opinion. The old man was also very pedantic in his bones. In his opinion, a concubine is a lowly maidservant who can't stand on the stage. On the contrary, he prefers the daughter of He Lao Xiucai's family. There is no problem with her background, and she doesn't have to worry about her tutor.

It's a pity that He Lao Xiucai's family background is also average, and the dowry that can be paid is too little.

People are always greedy. Before Yuncheng's ancestor Yuncheng married his daughter-in-law, and the dowry was fifty taels, they all nodded, but for Yun Chengyao, no matter how you think about it, twenty taels is too shabby.

In fact, it would be the best if the county magistrate's family is willing to marry the daughter of the main wife. The wife who gave birth to the county magistrate only gave birth to him a son and no daughter, which really created a problem for them.

However, although the Yun family can't pay attention for a while, the release of any one of these three families is enough to make everyone in Shangxi Village envious, and some even have bad intentions, and deliberately approach Luo Jinxiu to talk about it, openly and secretly Said that in the future they would have to support the Yun family in turn, Luo Jinxiu didn't know what to say because of their gloating.

Luo Jinxiu asked Yun Jinghao very puzzled: "Could it be that the two of us have the words 'easy to bully' written on our faces? Why are these people so sure that the Yun family can do anything to us if they just marry a young daughter-in-law?"

Yun Jinghao stroked her cheek, thinking about the dispositions of those members of the Yun family, his eyes were quite mocking, "If they really look for a relative with good conditions, it is very likely that they will stand up and feel that they can overwhelm us. "Although he feels that after the family is separated, there are two families, and there is no need to make these unnecessary comparisons.

But there is no way, who made that family have such a temper.

"Don't worry about them, we just want to live our own lives." Yun Jinghao paused, kissed her forehead, and said, "Two days ago, the security hall took over a job, and it was to cooperate with the county government. To arrest a group of bandits from other counties, I may go out for two or three days tomorrow, if you have anything to do, ask Zhao Wu to do it, and this time I will take Mingjie with me."

After the opening of the security hall, the several jobs that have been taken one after another have been successfully completed, and it has gained a little reputation in the county. This is not the first time that Yun Jinghao has to go out for a few days. Jing Hao made excuses to be in love for a longer time, and slept until noon the next day.

In the past few days, people in the village have been talking about Yun Chengyao's marriage. Even the women in the workshop have to say a few words when their hands are constantly moving. Xiang remembered to remind them not to delay their work.

Two days later, the matchmaker from Yun's house visited again, but she still couldn't settle the matter.

But something happened in the courtyard.

Yun Jinghao came back, not alone, but was carried back by the officials of the county government.

At that time Luo Jinxiu was settling accounts in the house, and when she heard Yun Fan hurried over to report the news, she ran out in fright, and her face changed immediately when she found that Yun Jinghao had blood on her leg.

"What's going on!? Are you injured?" Luo Jinxiu moved closer to Yun Jinghao's side, and saw that his face was slightly pale and his expression was ugly.

Seeing her worried face, Yun Jinghao stretched out his hand to touch her cheek, and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't worry, it's just a small injury, it's nothing serious."
