Aunt Cai was so upset when she saw the new house: "Mother, Ying'er, do you think that Fubao's marriage proposal didn't work out a few years ago, and this child was traumatized? As soon as I asked him about it, he shook his head and said no. When I asked him what kind of wife he wanted, he lowered his head and said he didn't want to get married and would wait two years."
"It's only two years away. In two years, people will say he has a problem and will be single for the rest of his life."
Jiang Yue felt sad in her heart that this era was sometimes really cruel. If a man did not marry at the age of 20 or a woman did not marry at the age of 15, they would be rumored to be sick and would have to lower themselves to others when walking outside.
Aunt Cai couldn't guess what was on Wan Fubao's mind, so when the two families came to ask, she could only say that she had discussed it with Wan Fubao, and she couldn't bear to die. Even when she went to Wenju, Aunt Cai still blamed herself for delaying the birth of her child.
Then, a stranger came to the door.
A middle-aged couple was standing at the door. The woman had a kind face and was wearing an old cloth shirt that was washed so much that it looked bleached. She had a blue scarf on her head and was carrying a basket.
The man was of sturdy build and ruddy complexion. He wore a brown cloth shirt and an old bamboo hat on his head and carried two baskets of vegetables on his shoulders.
The man said in a loud voice: "Fubao, why didn't you tell me that you moved into a new house? I heard that you went home to warm up your house yesterday when I went to deliver vegetables. Today, uncle and aunt came to congratulate you. I don't have anything good to give you, just a few baskets of vegetables, don't despise it."
The leaves are fresh and juicy, with crystal water droplets hanging on them, and you can tell at a glance that they have just been picked.
Grandpa Cai hurried over when he heard the voices, but was overtaken by Wan Fubao like a gust of wind: "Uncle Ge, Aunt Ge, why are you here? You came all the way here..."
Wan Fubao took the shoulder pole from the man surnamed Ge with great joy, his eyebrows almost flying up, and he said to go into the house quickly, but his eyes kept glancing back. When he saw the person behind him, his eyes instantly lit up.
When Aunt Cai saw Wan Fubao running towards the door, she had an idea. She had never seen him so enthusiastic before, so she walked towards the woman wrapped in a blue scarf.
When Aunt Cai saw the little girl blocked by two people behind them, her heart skipped a beat, and the heart that was hanging for Wan Fubao fell back into her stomach.
Especially when she saw her silly son smiling foolishly at the girl and the girl smiling back, Aunt Cai felt that the sky had become higher and the earth had become wider, and her heart felt as sweet as if it was filled with honey.
The little girl is pretty, about the same height as me, good-looking, and has a sweet smile. Although her skin is a little dark, she is healthy and matches her Fubao very well.
Wan Fubao shouted "Ge Lan" and was pushed by Aunt Cai and staggered.
Glenn?
Aunt Cai grabbed the hand of the woman in the blue scarf and said, "Oh, Sister Ge, look at how pretty your daughter is. Come on, Sister Ge, Miss Lan'er, let's go inside and have a good chat."
Sister Ge was slightly stunned, then she smiled, glanced at Ge Lan who lowered her head slightly, and obediently followed Aunt Cai.
Grandpa Cai gave Uncle Ge an awkward yet friendly smile and invited Uncle Ge to join him and have a drink.
Uncle Ge said in a straightforward and familiar manner, "Would you like a drink?"
That's a must.
When seeing off the guests in the afternoon, Cai teased Aunt Cai, "Sister, you should come to your senses. I see you almost told the mother to keep her daughter so that she wouldn't have to carry her from your house again."
Wan Fubao, who was standing by, blushed with shame.
Aunt Cai smiled happily and held Cai's hand: "You still understand me."
Everyone was speechless, except for Aunt Cai's aunt who smiled. After watching for a whole day, they all understood.
"Oh my, Baoer, why didn't you tell me that you had chosen someone? This is such a good girl. If someone else snatched her away, you would have nowhere to cry!"
Wan Fubao's face instantly turned redder, and he stammered, "She, she's still young..."
"That's fine, no wonder you said you have to wait two years. But fourteen is not too young, we can get her engaged first. Mom will talk to her parents about it and marry her off this year. There's no rush to have a baby, I'll feel at ease once I have my daughter-in-law under my nose!"
In fact, there are many people who get married and have children at the age of fourteen, but families who love their daughters usually delay the wedding for two years. It seems that the Ge family's parents love their daughter very much.
Cai smiled and teased her: "Sister, you are too anxious. You don't even know what the parents mean."
Aunt Cai rolled her eyes at her and said, "Can't you see that her parents also think highly of Fubao? Otherwise, would her mother have been able to chat with me all day long?"
Everyone was speechless. You also know that you spent a whole day with the mother and daughter? He didn't even greet the guests in the yard.
Aunt Cai paced around the room, muttering, "I have to go tomorrow. Ying'er, help me think about what to wear. No, no, I'd better ask the matchmaker to come to the house and ask first. We can't lose etiquette at this time."
When Cai returned home, she was happy for a while, but suddenly she became worried: "Your brother is already sixteen years old, and it's time for him to get married at home. When he comes back after completing his studies, he will probably be older than your cousin. What should we do? Oh... and by now, your brother should have written to us, why haven't we received any yet?"
Jiang Yue said: "Maybe the letter was delayed on the way? It's a good time when my family is not busy, so I'll go see my brother."
In the small village of Wangshan, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. At the same time, the southern part of Daqian Kingdom is experiencing turmoil.
First there were strong winds and severe droughts, and then a neighboring vassal state suddenly launched an invasion and attacked. The garrison of Nanfang County was less than 10,000 soldiers and was completely unable to resist the invasion of the Jiaochi people. The Jiaochi army ran rampant in Nanfang County.
It was not until the emperor of the time sent the prince Zhang Bende and others to quell the rebellion that further invasion by Jiao Shi was avoided. The war became stalemate in Nanfang County, and Zhang Bende and others were pinned down. The people in Nanfang County were displaced and fled north to avoid disaster.
As if it weren't raining, at such a critical moment, there was a sudden "natural disaster". In April of this year, the light of a comet streaked across the night sky of Daqian Kingdom and fell directly on the Prince's Eastern Palace. The old emperor worriedly asked the Imperial Observatory about the reason for the "natural disaster". Prime Minister Xiong tried his best to appease the suspicious emperor. The Fourth Prince and his faction seized the opportunity and immediately stood up, attacking Prime Minister Xiong for harbouring evil intentions and putting pressure on the court to dismiss him.
Xiong Yu was already old, and was exhausted by the attack, so he passed away due to illness. The crown prince lost his left arm, and a rift appeared between him and the emperor. The fourth prince was even more powerful, and Zhai Qingya's clan hurriedly made an effort to expose the Hedong County governor's cheating in the imperial examination, which was a disaster for the country and the dynasty, in order to suppress the fourth prince.
Naturally, all kinds of news were circulating in the market, but some were true and some were false. Farming was the most important thing for farmers, and there was no sign of conscription or increase in taxes, so people just talked about it after dinner and didn't take it seriously.
Zhai Qingya was recommended by the crown prince and quietly promoted to the position of Grand Commandant of Hedong County. He also continued to serve as the Magistrate of Muchuan County, responsible for thoroughly investigating the cheating in the imperial examinations in Hedong County. However, Hedong County was the sphere of influence of the Fourth Prince. Although Zhai Qingya was the second in command of Hedong County, he was in a difficult situation. The turbulent political situation made Zhai Qingya very busy. He did not go to Jiang Yue for several months, and only sent a servant to convey a few words.
