Embarrassing for the bride

Chapter 2

Jiji is a major event in a woman's life. Now that Yuzhi has returned home, this is the focus of the whole family's busy life.Dong Yuanwai felt sorry for her suffering so much outside, so he paid more attention to this matter. On the second day after Yuzhi came home, he ordered the whole family to prepare.

Yuzhi's Jiji is scheduled for the Shangsi Festival on March [-]rd. Dong Yuanwai and the Zhou family have already drawn up a list of guests that need to be entertained, and dispatched servants to deliver them one by one. Only the main guests need to be invited by the husband and wife in person.

After discussing with Dong Yuanwai, Mrs. Zhou decided to let Yuzhi's wet nurse, Mrs. Fang, be the secretary, that is, the person who gave Yuzhi a tray on the day of Jiji, and assisted the principal guest to salute Yuzhi.

Just as Pentax needed a virtuous and talented female elder to fill in, Dong Yuanwai didn't have many female relatives here, so the couple planned to invite Zhou's natal cousin Yi, who was well-known in the family for her talent.

On the first day of March, Mr. and Mrs. Dong boarded the carriage and drove to Yi's house dozens of miles away, personally inviting Mrs. Yi to come.

In addition, praisers are also invited, and the general praisers are the good sisters of Jijiren.Poor Yuzhi grew up in a monastery, so there are no sisters in her boudoir.Mrs. Zhou simply invited the daughter of her cousin, Mrs. Yi, to be the Zanzhe. Anyway, it is mother and daughter, so it will be more convenient to help salute when the time comes.

After the work was over, the husband and wife returned home and hurriedly prepared the ritual utensils and clothes that Jiji needed for the day.

During the whole busy period, Yuzhi was the only one who was at ease, reading books in her boudoir every day, or reviewing the skills taught by the female red teacher, living a very leisurely life, only occasionally thinking that Jiji will come soon marriage, and feel a little irritated.

Speaking of this marriage, there is another story.It is said that Mrs. Wen came to the capital alone to rush for the exam and was robbed of all his money. It was Mrs. Dong who rescued him.Mrs. Wen thanked him, and said that we should form a son and daughter family.At that time, although Mrs. Wen hadn't made a fortune yet, Mrs. Dong didn't dislike him, so he agreed.However, the Dong family did not have many heirs, only one son, and the Wen family had a daughter besides the two sons, but it was a pity that it had already been promised.So the two had no choice but to push this agreement to their grandchildren.

Dong Yuanwai is not a flamboyant person, he wants to keep his family clean, and he doesn't take concubines, so Yuzhi is the only seedling in Dong's family.Although there are many descendants in the Wen family, the marriage made by the old master must be spread on the eldest grandson, and thus the marriage contract between Yuzhi and young master Wen came about.

The Wen family is now a big family in the capital. When Yuzhi was in Mingyue Nunnery, he had heard many pilgrims who went to offer incense mentioned the Wen family, and they usually just passed by. Such a family is always indispensable for conversation.

There are also people from the Wen family who often go to Mingyue Nunnery to offer incense. I heard that it is the wife of the Wen family, so they should be her mother-in-law.It is said that Mrs. Wen would go to Mingyue Nunnery to add incense and oil on the first and fifteenth day of every month, but Yuzhi never went to see her once, not even to take a peek at her.

It's not that I dare not, it's just that I don't think it's necessary, not to mention what capacity does she want to see her with?
But once, she overheard a few female guests talking about the young master of the Wen family. Yuzhi, who knew at that time that she had a marriage contract with the young master of the Wen family, listened carefully for a while, and only then did she know that the young master of the Wen family The young master is actually sick, and he has been in poor health since he was a child.

Yuzhi was very surprised, she didn't expect to hear the news from someone else, and the Dong family didn't know about it. Could it be that the young master of the Wen family is seriously ill?That's why the Wen family kept hiding from the Dong family?

Naturally, Yuzhi doesn't discriminate against patients, but she doesn't want to marry a terminally ill person. If she becomes a widow at a young age, it will be miserable.

Although this is the worst possibility, it can happen, so Yuzhi somewhat rejects this marriage.

It's a pity that she can't decide things by herself, she can only choose to accept, and she can't do anything else.

At this time, she was half leaning on the soft couch in the room to read a book, but her mind was not on the book at all, until the book in her hand almost unconsciously fell to the ground before she came back to her senses, after thinking about it, she still called Que Ya'er .

Que Ya'er was called by Mrs. Zhou just now to prepare clothes for Yuzhi to use, and just in time to rush back, when she heard the lady's call, she hurried in.

"Miss, you called me?"

"Well," Yuzhi put down the book in his hand, and looked at her lazily with half-closed eyes, "Go and quietly inquire about the situation of the Wen family, the more detailed the better."

When Que Ya'er heard this, she covered her mouth and laughed, "Miss, are you in a hurry to get married?"

"Fuck you," Yu Zhi gave her a white look, "Stop talking nonsense, go and inquire, I'm waiting for your news."

Que Ya'er nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away, miss, don't worry, I'll make sure you're satisfied with the information I've inquired about."

Yu Zhi kept a straight face on purpose, "Well, it's best to be like this."

Que Ya'er naturally knows her temper, she pretends to be serious on the outside, but in fact she is really hot and straightforward, and sometimes what she says can even choke people to death.It's rare for Que Ya'er to see Yu Zhi's lukewarm appearance, and it seems that she is really anxious to know about the Wen family.She shook her head as she walked out. She had told her something about the Wen family earlier, but she didn't care, and now she became anxious.

Que Yaer promised to play loudly in front of Yuzhi, but unfortunately things were not as easy as expected.She went out before noon, and it was almost dark when she came back, so she just got a rough idea of ​​the situation.

Yuzhi knew that it was difficult to inquire into the affairs of the big family, Que Ya'er had tried her best, so she didn't say anything, but told her to quickly tell all the things she found out.

Que Ya'er chattered for a while, and Yu Zhi probably got a better understanding.It turned out that this Young Master Wen had two younger brothers in his family, and they both made marriage arrangements early.It may be that Young Master Wen is not in good health, and the two younger brothers have already married before him.Of course, this is just Yu Zhi's conjecture, what Que Ya'er means is that the age difference between the two young masters and his fiancée is not too big, since the woman has already passed her age, she naturally married her early.

Presumably, outsiders who don't know about it will also say that Young Master Wen is now waiting for Yuzhi, his fiancée, to pass away.

In addition to his two younger brothers, Young Master Wen also had a younger sister in his family, but she was not from the same mother. Master Wen also had a concubine, and this daughter was born to her concubine.What Que Ya'er inquired was that the lady seemed to be not clear-headed, and she often talked nonsense.This surprised Yuzhi, and another thing that surprised Yuzhi was that the third young master of the Wen family had passed away due to illness two years ago, so the third young lady is now a widow.

After hearing the news, Yuzhi thought about it carefully, and felt even more disturbed, and subconsciously asked Queyaer how the second young master and second young mistress of the Wen family were doing.Magpie Ya'er groaned for a long time, but finally shook his head, saying that he hadn't heard anything about the second young master, but only heard that the second young master of the Wen family had been hanging out in the capital, which seemed a bit like a playboy.

Yuzhi frowned, and didn't know how the second young master was related to the eldest young master, after all, there were only two heirs of the Wen family left.But Young Master Wen is not in good health, maybe this is also the reason why Second Young Master doesn't take him seriously and enjoys himself.

Yuzhi knew that her father and aunt would definitely tell her clearly about these things, but they didn't seem to know about Young Master Wen's poor health, and they probably only knew superficially about other things.She hadn't been at home for many years, and she didn't know whether Wen's family was close to her own during this period. Many things were actually easy to hide. When she got married, it would be too late to regret it.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhi couldn't help laughing at herself, there was no room for repentance, this marriage was decided by her ancestors, and now the two old ladies of both parties are gone, if she repented, wouldn't it be disrespectful to her ancestors?Neither the Wen family nor the Dong family would do such a thing.

Yuzhi sighed, now it seems that he can only take one step at a time.
