Farmer’s Blessed Girl

It's not a secret that Zhou Man and Bai Shan have a marriage contract. Nine out of ten people in the capital who know the two of them know, and the remaining one may not be sensible.

Although the old lady who asked this question was not from the capital, she also knew it. The reason for asking this question was to lead to the next question.

After Man Bao said that he was engaged, the old ladies' eyes fell on Zhou Liru together, and said with a smile: "This is Lord Zhou's niece? She looks so good, how old are you this year? Are you engaged yet?"

Zhou Liru glanced at the aunt, took a breath, and lowered his head after blushing.

When Man Bao saw it, he quickly said, "She's still young, so don't worry."

"Looking to be about the same age as Lord Zhou, getting married can be delayed by two years, but getting married is okay."

"Yeah, the girl can talk about her marriage when she's thirteen, otherwise all the good gentlemen will be picked away."

Man Bao looked left and right, and found that they were surrounded by circles, and now he couldn't find a good reason to run, so he simply put on his posture and asked, "Does the old lady have any good candidates to recommend?"

When the other party saw her clearly asking, his eyes suddenly froze, and he immediately said: "Yes, I have a grand-nephew, who is about the same age as her, and a talented person. This time, he will come with me for wedding wine. If Lord Zhou is willing, I will let it go. He came in to see you."

Man Bao smiled and said: "The old lady is too impatient. They are still young, so they are not in a hurry to see each other, but we as adults can help take a look first, don't know who is in the house?"

The other party immediately introduced that it was a relative of Liu's family in Jinyang. Their family was an official in Jinyang. Although they were not big, they only had five ranks, but they were quite decent.

Man Bao listened with a smile, and then asked, "I don't know what your great-nephew's name is, which school is he studying in now?"

"His name is Liu Yi, and he's very sensible, so he's doing things with his brother now," the old lady said with a smile, "Lord Zhou knew at a glance that he was good-looking, tall and strong. Your niece is a good match."

Man Bao raised his eyebrows slightly, took the tea and said with a smile: "It's a good boy, but my family still needs to study. It is estimated that after three or four years of study, I can barely graduate."

Man Bao tried hard to recall what her mother said when she said kisses to her fourth brother and fifth brother, but she thought it was inappropriate, and after thinking about it, she said, "If you want me to say it, girls don't have to be in a hurry to say kisses, although she It's a girl, but you should also practice your skills well, and when you leave your parents in the future, you can have the skills to support yourself, and you'll have nothing to worry about."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile: "How can a family like us still need a daughter-in-law to go out in person to make a living?"

The other old ladies also agreed, but Mrs. Liu looked at Zhou Man in surprise.

Man Bao smiled and said, "That's true. It's not a shame to be able to support yourself and your family. Besides, I'm doing something I like, so I'm even happier."

An old lady hesitated for a while, but still said: "Women should still give priority to husbands and children."

Man Bao smiled and said, "Of course we have to support our husbands and children, just like men have to work hard to secure a wife and a son in the future. If the husband is an official, I can help them in their career. This is to support the husband, and we I have read a lot, experienced a lot of things, and I can teach them better when I have children in the future, old lady, don’t you think?”

The old ladies:  …

Zhou Liru nodded again and again, and whispered: "The prince and the prince concubine like my little aunt, and they also like my little uncle very much."

This is a heavy blow, and no one can say that Zhou Man's remarks are wrong, because this is indeed "the husband".

The old ladies looked at Zhou Liru, whose eyes were shining, and knew that this one was the same as Zhou Man, so the thought of being a matchmaker lightened a lot.

Mrs. Liu became enthusiastic, glanced at the dessert plate next to their aunts and nephews, turned her head and instructed the servant: "Go to the kitchen and ask for a plate of dessert that is not very sweet, um, you need crispy meat, want It just came out hot."

Liu's residence rarely entertains guests with crispy meat as a snack, but the servants just stunned for a moment and then bowed back.

Mrs. Liu Tai turned back to meet the eyes of the old sisters and smiled: "The two young girls must have a good appetite. It's been a while since dinner, and they just added."

Mrs. Liu Tai smiled and asked Zhou Liru, "Are you tired of studying medicine?"

Zhou Liru shook his head, "Not tired."

"Silly boy, how can you not get tired of reading? That kid in my family... He doesn't call him tired, but it hurts my heart to see him reading early and going to bed late."

Man Bao almost choked on the tea.

She coughed twice and put down the teacup, and Mrs. Liu said with a smile, "Although he doesn't complain about being hard or tired when he reads, but if no one is watching, he will be lazy. Last year's trip to the Western Regions was thanks to you for taking care of him and supervising him. This time, I can get the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, by the way, what books did he read along the way?"

Zhou Liru could really answer this question, because along the way, she read and listened to Mr. Zhuang with them. Unfortunately, her cultural class was the worst, and she was always left alone with Liu Huan to recite the text.

So Zhou Liru said: "I have studied the six articles in "Kang Wang Zhi Gao" and "Wen Hou Zhi Ming", and the rest are a few Books of Poetry, and the rest are some homework."

Mrs. Liu Tai saw what she said so clearly, her eyes lit up, she paused and smiled, "What is the first chapter of "Kang Kang Zhi Gao"?"

The pattern of this question and answer was so similar to Mr. Zhuang's, Zhou Liru tightened his back and said, "It's called "Bi Ming", and King Kang ordered the book to be completed, and it was separated into the suburbs of Zhou to make "Bi Ming"."

The old ladies on the side were stunned for a while, especially Liu Yi's cousin. At this time, seeing Mrs. Liu's happy face, she couldn't help but regret it.

She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then raised her head and smiled at Zhou Man: "Master Zhou, I have a young grandson studying in the county school, but unfortunately he won't come to the capital this time, otherwise I can let Master Zhou see him."

Before Zhou Man could speak, Mrs. Liu Tai smiled and said, "So this is fate. Next time my brother and sister bring him, I will ask his cousin to take him around the capital."

Mrs. Liu Tai suddenly raised her eyebrows slightly and said to Man Bao, "Huan'er was drunk before, wasn't she?"

Man Bao nodded.

Mrs. Liu Tai sighed: "It's difficult for you to take care of him, I have heard him say, you have encountered many difficulties and obstacles on your journey westward, and the group of people arrived in the Western Regions after life and death, and it took a long time to return from the Western Regions. Beijing."

Man Bao immediately said that this is what she should do. After all, she is the chief officer, so she naturally wants to protect her accompanying people as much as possible.

He added: "He also helped the mission a lot, otherwise His Majesty would not have given him the county baron."

See you at nine o'clock in the evening, it's really too cold today, it's been raining all the time, I can't wait to grow in bed
