Transfer Fubao four and a half years old
Chapter 611 Chu Chu felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly.
When the ladies gathered together, those whose children were preparing to take the imperial examinations naturally talked about next year's exams.
But the ladies finally unknowingly talked about next year's talent show, which is what everyone will care about and is related to their own interests.
Those topics were surprisingly similar to what Zhou Pinqing talked about in the car. Zhou Pinqing was really well-informed and usually paid attention to collecting such information.
Because they were all well-connected families, some of them did not shy away from inviting their own children to the party, hoping to see if there were any suitable candidates among the aristocratic families, their relatives, and familiar families.
Chuchu was originally leaning against her mother to listen to gossip, but later she felt that the topic was very boring. Anyway, her mother didn't bring it up, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with her family, so she winked at her eldest brother, thinking about escaping quickly and going riding as soon as possible.
Yan Yuzhe had been waiting for his sister to speak, but the two of them didn't dare to just turn around and leave without saying a word, so they finally whispered something to their mother.
The two of them also wanted to run to their grandmother, great-grandmother, and other elders in the front hall garden to say hello, so as to avoid them suddenly remembering them and not being able to find them when they wanted to.
Suddenly, a voice was heard inside: "Now the various families in the capital are starting to get active. There are many mistresses who are going to the temples to worship and burn incense. They all bring girls of marriageable age. And the mistress of one family will inevitably meet the mistress of another family, and then receive greetings from the sons, nephews, cousins, etc. of the other family. Aren't they just trying to settle things as soon as possible?"
"You don't know that families with daughters are more anxious during this period. Several families have come to test our attitude. We have also received several invitations to hold flower-viewing banquets after the New Year, all of which are reminders for unmarried teenage children to go together.
There are also several families who took the initiative to come to my house to propose. In addition to wanting to see the legitimate sons and daughters of our second and third branches, there are two other families who want to discuss marriage with Jue'er. They all want to seize the position of princess and concubine. How can I be the master of Jue'er? "
After saying something to their mother, the two siblings quietly slipped out the door when no one else was paying attention. Before they ran into the front hall, they heard the words of the ancestors. Although the sound was not too loud, they could still hear it by standing at the door and tilting their ears slightly.
When Chu Chu heard the old princess of Prince Chun mention Brother Jue, she couldn't help but paused, tugged at her brother's clothes, and did not step in.
Seeing his sister like this, Yan Yuzhe knew that she was curious and couldn't help but squat in the corner with her.
Normally, matters like marriage proposal are not disclosed to outsiders before engagement, to avoid gossip, especially to the girl's family.
However, the only people sitting inside were the old princess, the old lady of the Duke's Mansion, the old lady of the Grand Secretary's Mansion, and their personal maids. No one else would dare to approach without being summoned, so naturally there was nothing to be taboo about. So if anyone mentioned names, they knew it wouldn't be leaked.
"It is said that if a daughter is in a family, hundreds of families will want her. Now, because the news of the talent show came out first, my sister and brother have been in a mess. Instead, families with daughters are anxious first. Even our two grandsons are being coveted. We can choose two years in advance."
Yan Yuzhe was shocked when he heard his grandmother suddenly mention them. The two brothers had agreed that after passing the college examination, they would take the provincial examination. If Mr. Lanchuan hadn't told them not to be too hasty, they would have wanted to go directly for the spring examination. They didn't want to get married so early.
Yan Yuzhe remembered what his younger brother Yan Yuge said: women would affect the speed at which they draw their swords.
He kept this sentence in mind. Besides, he had never met anyone he liked in his life, so he was not so impatient. He secretly felt that women were indeed a trouble.
Seeing that the eldest brother's expression suddenly changed, Chuchu suddenly had a bit of evil taste and suddenly said: "I'm curious about what kind of people the eldest brother and the younger brother will choose as their wives."
The eldest brother knocked on her head and said, "You have to marry Chuchu off anyway. If you want to bring someone else into the family, I dare not marry someone who treats you badly."
Chuchu pretended to be angry: "I know that my elder brother and younger brother dislike me. They are afraid that I will stay at home for a few more years. I will complain to my grandmother later."
But before they could say anything bad to each other, the grandmother's words came from inside: "My second grandson is less than two years younger than his eldest brother, so we have to choose carefully. But he insists that he will not meet me until he passes the exam next year. His mother and I are worried that we will miss the opportunity if we miss this opportunity."
"That's right. Madam Li just mentioned it to me. She said that her only son will be over 20 after the Chinese New Year and is still with her son-in-law in Xiangzhou County. She wanted to urge him to come back to meet her after the Chinese New Year, but Mr. Lanchuan is not in a hurry at all. He even said that he would wait until he passes the exam. How can a father be like this? I see that his beard is starting to turn white. Isn't he in a hurry to have a grandson? He is really careless."
Seeing that the ancestors had been chatting for too long, Chuchu and her brother wanted to step in again, but because they paused for a moment after the conversation, Yan Yuzhe was stopped by his sister again.
The old lady of the Duke's Mansion seemed to lower her voice a little, but it was still audible: "Tell me, which families have come to propose marriage to Prince Jue? So that we can have an idea."
"One is the eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, named Xu Meiniang; the other is the granddaughter of the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Metropolitan Censorate, named Feng Jiaojiao. Both will be sixteen after the Chinese New Year..."
The voice at the end was a little quiet, because it involved specific families, and it seemed like someone deliberately didn't want others to hear it, but the general meaning was still heard by the two of them.
Chuchu was a little dazed after listening, and suddenly her heart tightened. Yan Yuzhe saw that his sister's expression was a little strange, and he didn't want to listen anymore. He felt it was not good to go in and disturb the elders.
He directly pulled Chuchu over and said, "Let's go, ride horses." Chuchu didn't want to listen anymore, but her brain became a little slow, and she let her brother pull her out.
Chuchu suddenly felt uncomfortable again, as if she had eaten a fly.
There were several families of equal status who came to the door on their own initiative. If it was someone like Zhou Pinqing, he would have been carried in from the side door in a sedan chair as soon as Brother Jue nodded.
The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt, to the point that I had no energy to walk. Fortunately, my big brother kept dragging me along.
