Transfer Fubao four and a half years old

"Say it again." Xu Meiniang wanted to go up and fight. She was indignant as to why she was always the one who got hurt.

Seeing that the noble lady kept walking forward and didn't turn back to deal with Xu Meiniang, a noble lady pulled Xu Meiniang aside and whispered, "Just be quiet for a while. This is not an imperial examination. The princes are choosing according to their own preferences. If you continue like this, I wonder if your reputation is still worthy of someone."

"I just think, how are we worse than others?" But his tone was clearly lacking in confidence, and his expression could not return to normal.

"Anyway, I don't expect to be favored by the princes. I just want to find someone of equal status. The one just now was Meng Haoran, the eldest granddaughter of Duke Meng. You see, she has a good appearance and is said to be talented. Although she is not as good as Jiang Lin and Yan Juanjuan, she is not inferior. She is not competitive either." Another noble lady accused her.

"That's right, it's all your fault. If you feel unfair, you can just not participate in the future. It's as if someone else snatched your spot." Another noble lady spoke up, but she only mumbled in a low voice. No one wanted to have a bad reputation.

"I, I-Did I rob? But you see, today they clearly said they were here to see each other, but three or four of them are only twelve or thirteen years old. What's going on? How embarrassed are we who are in our prime? Isn't there anyone better among us?"

However, Xu Meiniang's voice became noticeably softer. Seeing that some of the noble ladies were looking over here curiously, she didn't dare to shout anymore. However, her unwillingness was obvious on her face, and it was impossible not to think about it that way.

Jiang Hua quietly told Chuchu and Juanjuan, "Meng Haoran is also a first-class noblewoman in the capital. She is best at playing musical instruments and painting. This time, she is not good at it. However, she is arrogant and does not easily make friends with others. I am afraid she would not look down on ordinary princes. My mother said that maybe their family is interested in a century-old family with a scholarly background."

Juanjuan felt envious when she heard this and said, "Duke Meng's Mansion is quite thoughtful. I don't think it's necessary to try so hard to stay in the Beijing circle."

Not staying in the Beijing circle? Chuchu was startled and turned to look at Juanjuan, but she looked like nothing had happened after she finished speaking, as if she didn't mean what she said and it had nothing to do with her.

Did she think wrong?

February passed, and in mid-March,

As the weather gets warmer, people start to change out of their jackets and some start to wear summer clothes.

Chuchu has attended too many flower-viewing banquets during this period and she feels bored. It is very boring to just rush through the flowers every day. Although her mother has repeatedly told them that it is to save face for someone else's family, she just deals with it and only asks them to go through the motions, which makes them feel exhausted.

The flower-viewing banquet at the Shunguo Mansion was successfully held near the end of March. Fortunately, there were many people meeting each other, and many families had already started discussing marriage. Some were already engaged or had intentions, and they would find excuses to avoid coming.

Therefore, when the ceremony was held in the mansion, although almost all the noble ladies would come to show their support, there were still fewer noble ladies and gentlemen. And since there were other families in front of them as examples, they could follow the procedures, making the reception much easier.

Li Yan didn't want to tire his two daughters, but he couldn't do too much by himself, so he asked a few good sisters to help, and finally managed to make all the arrangements.

In addition to the original sisters, Jiang Hua and Jiang Bing took the initiative to get involved in the reception of the noble lady. Juanjuan was the main one who took care of it, and Chuchu just needed to follow. So Chuchu didn't feel anything until the end of the flower-viewing banquet and handled it smoothly.

The Shun family didn't care, but the flower-viewing banquet still played a big role for the noble ladies in the capital.

I heard that many families got married because of this, among them was the one Chuchu was most familiar with. Lin Qiaoqiao was engaged to Yang Yi, a clerk in the Censorate. His father was a fourth-rank official. Although his family status was lower than that of Prince Chun's mansion, and Yang Yi was only a sixth-rank official in the capital, he got there through his own examination and was the eldest son in the family. He was much better off than marrying a bastard's son from a first or second-rank official.

So the sisters were very happy for Qiao Qiao.

This was specially chosen for her by General Lin Er. After the Lantern Festival, Lin Jun'an was ordered to return to Beijing and was appointed as a second-rank imperial envoy. He was a military officer without much real power. The emperor was grateful to him for his illness after fighting in the war for more than 20 years, so he was allowed to stay at home and recuperate most of the time. In addition, with the reputation of Prince Chun's Mansion, Qiao Qiao was still highly regarded. It is said that even her aunt was very happy.

Qin Chuan took over as the General of Huaihua in the Northern Frontier, but he was only promoted one level and was given the rank of the third grade. Because of this, Qin Lanhui's value was slightly improved. In early March, he also married Ling Yun, the third son of the third grade guard commander. Ling Yun was appointed as the chief clerk of the eighth grade weapons supervisor. He was both civil and military, and was a perfect match for Qin Lanhui.

That is my cousin Wen Chao from my uncle's family. He has also been engaged to a woman. She is the eldest daughter of the governor of Fuzhou County and has been raised in a foreign family in the capital. I heard that she is kind and gentle, well-educated, and comes from a wealthy family. She is very much loved by my grandmother and aunt.

Even Li Chenmi of the Li mansion, fourth aunt's younger brother, who was originally not in a hurry, is now engaged to the youngest daughter of the chief academic officer of the Imperial College. This marriage is considered to be a very good one.

This made Mrs. Li and Fourth Aunt feel relieved, and they finally stopped complaining about Mr. Lanchuan every day. After all, the reason for this marriage was that Mr. Lanchuan had a good reputation and was respected by officials and students.

What surprised Chu Chu the most was that Feng Jiaojiao, the legitimate daughter of the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, who had originally said that she wanted to marry into Prince Jue's mansion, could not wait any longer. Or maybe Brother Jue had completely refused, so she was engaged to Jiang Zhongyong, the legitimate son of Jiang Hua's brother, who was also one of the best families.

After hearing the news, Chu Chu patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she did not say anything too much and told Jiang Hua about Feng Jiaojiao and Brother Jue's marriage proposal, nor did she tell anyone else, otherwise it would be bad if rumors spread.

But Chuchu didn’t quite understand and even felt a little regretful.

Although Young Master Jiang cannot be described as handsome, he has a first-class appearance among the other young masters. Although he has not yet entered the officialdom, he is well-educated and it is only a matter of time for him to pass the imperial examination and become an official in the court.

Prime Minister Jiang is a first-rank official, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is also deeply favored by the emperor. Why did he choose Feng Jiaojiao?

However, the royal family and the nobles were mostly very complicated, and some of the relationships were beyond the understanding of children like them.

Putting aside her appearance and height, Feng Jiaojiao is actually quite good. Not every man judges a woman by her appearance. The wife of a big family is usually chosen based on her family background and character.

There are many other engaged ones, and grandma and mother often mention them at the dinner table. Chuchu won’t pay too much attention to them because they are not very familiar to her.
