Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 729 My younger brother wants to get married, Xue Jian is very angry

With Xue Jian's comfort, Wu Mei regained her mood and became interested in the position of acting city lord again.

She is unable to take care of other things in the city, and she is not in the mood to take care of them, but she decided to do it after seeing the shantytowns before!
It can't be that the teacher gave himself the position of acting city lord and in the end he didn't do anything!
Wu Mei took Qijiu and Xiaoxue to the shantytown again. She had a lot of experience and chatted with some people in the shantytown to understand what they think about living in the shantytown.

When they came, all three of them put on ordinary clothes. According to the teacher, this will allow you to get closer to others, because it is a kind of psychological suggestion or something.

The three of them pretended to be a family, so that they could get closer to those people.

Qijiu chatted with Xiaoxuezhu, Wu Mei sat on the sidelines and listened, occasionally interjecting a few words, but they all asked questions from a child's point of view, so as not to make people suspicious.

For two days, Wu Mei chatted with the people in the shanty town, which made her see many things, and she was a little depressed.

"Sister Xiaoxue, who is the current head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?" Wu Mei asked while sitting on a chair in Ding Yi's study, while there were no tigers and monkeys in the mountains called kings.

"I just signed the letter of appointment yesterday, and Xu Zhi from the legal department will take up the post of Minister of Civil Affairs in three days." Xiaoxue was taught by Xiao Qing for a period of time, and now she can do these things with ease.

"Xu Zhi? I seem to have heard someone mention him?" Wu Mei was very familiar with this name, but she couldn't remember who he was.

"He's Missy's younger brother!" Qijiu reminded that she had rarely seen Xu Zhi in the past two years, but when the college was first established, Xue Jian began to dominate the college, and it wasn't until the Women's College opened that those students escaped her clutches!

"Ah! That's right! I remembered! Sister Xuejian often talks about him!" Wu Mei immediately remembered who Xu Zhi was, and now it's easy.

The affairs of the shantytowns cannot be separated from the cooperation of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. If it is someone else, they may not necessarily obey her as the acting city lord.

But this Xu Zhi, sister Xue Jian often said that he was her most obedient younger brother, much better than that boy Qin Huaidao!
"Can you find him?" Wu Mei wanted to deal with the shantytowns, but the shantytowns were under the management of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Department of Urban Management, so it was better to find this minister first.

"This... is difficult! He is very busy these days!" Qi Jiu wondered.

"Busy?" Wu Mei asked suspiciously: "What are you busy with? Doesn't he take office in a few days?"

"This... his parents told him about their marriage, and they are busy getting engaged these few days!" Qi Jiu had a relationship with Xu Zhi. At that time, he was in charge of Xue Jian's safety, and he was transferred back later.

"what!"

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the door!
Xuejian walked in in shock, looked at Qijiu, and said angrily, "He's about to get married? No, he should only be 14 years old, how can it be?"

According to the laws of Xincheng, marriages cannot be made before sixteenth, and Xu Zhi is already the Minister of Civil Affairs, so getting married at this time would be breaking the rules!
Originally, the law of Xincheng was that women were not allowed to have children before the age of 17. In the end, Ding Yi felt that this law was a bit tough and harsh.

So, change the term!The legal age of marriage for men and women is 16 years old, which is more concise and easier to accept.

However, Xue Jian was obviously not shocked by this matter!

"He's going to get married, how dare he not tell me! Hmph!" Xuejian was angry that Xu Zhi didn't tell her, how could Xu Zhi also be her younger brother, and she, a big sister, didn't know about his younger brother's marriage, which made him feel very ashamed!

"Miss... this... Xu Zhi is just engaged, not married!" Qi Jiu explained for Xu Zhi.

"Hmph! Whether it's an engagement or a marriage, if he dares not tell me, he just looks down on me as a big sister! Let's go, Meier, let's go find him!" Xuejian said angrily, reaching out her hand to take Wu Mei.

Wu Mei thought for a while, but still stretched out her hand to hold Xue Jian's hand, and followed her to find Xu Zhi.

……

The Xu family, Xu Zhi embarrassedly apologized to Xue Jian, saying that he should have told her earlier what was wrong.

It's not that he forgot, it's just that the marriage has not yet been settled.

"Which family does the woman belong to?" Xue Jian sat directly at the head seat in the living room. After Xu Zhi's parents saluted, they went out to do the shopping. They were always a little embarrassed here.

Xu Zhi replied, "It's just the only daughter of a merchant in the city. My parents asked someone to introduce me!"

There are rules in Xincheng, but Xu Zhi's parents made the decision for their son early on. In their view, no matter what, their son's marriage must be decided by someone who has experienced it.

Moreover, they also know each other well, the girl is very good, if they don't take possession of her early, what will happen if they are robbed after Xu Zhi is sixteen?
At first, the other party disagreed. Xu Zhi was originally just a small section chief of the legal department. Although he was an official, the other party's family was very good. He had several shops in Xincheng, and he was also famous on the rich list of Xincheng!
However, as soon as Xu Zhi's letter of appointment came out, the other party immediately proposed marriage. Although Xu Zhi's parents felt uncomfortable, they still accepted it.

"When will you get married?" Xue Jian had already punished him just now, and now she has calmed down, and instead cared about her younger brother's marriage.

"It's not decided yet!" Xu Zhi was helpless and couldn't say anything else, the eldest sister was still the same as before, still so chic!
That's great!It's just... I don't have an older brother like a city lord, and I don't have a background like Xue Jian...

Everything at home is obtained through my own hard work. Life is really tiring!
Xuejian asked some other things, and then remembered that it was because Wu Mei and the others talked about it that she came to Xu Zhi.

"Meier, didn't you want to find him? Just tell him if you have anything to do. If he dares to refuse, let me see how I deal with him!"

Xu Zhi looked at Wu Mei who was at the side, and said respectfully: "Wucheng is mainly looking for the lower officials, and sent someone to summon the lower officials directly, how dare I bother you to come here in person!"

"Ouch!"

Xue Jian kicked him on the calf, and said with disgust: "Speak well, what kind of bureaucratic accent!"

Xu Zhi could only laugh along with him, as the eldest sister always does.

Wu Mei turned her head and snickered, Xue saw how domineering her sister was!
"Minister Xu..."

"Why are you like this, just call him Xiao Zhi!" Xue Jian was not happy again!
"Uh……"

"Xiao...Brother Xiaozhi, after you take office, I have a few things I want your help with!" Wu Mei couldn't make it out. Although the teacher taught her in a free-range way, she still cared about her manners.

Xu Zhi immediately became serious and asked in confusion, "I don't know what's the matter with City Lord Wu?"

Xuejian didn't lecture him again this time, as it was about the administrative department, she still knew how to measure it.

Wu Mei thought for a while, and said directly: "It's about the shantytowns!"
