Chapter 538 The T-shaped scroll problem is difficult to solve

"Sister, what Brother Keng said is not unreasonable, but Brother Keng, your marriage has to be decided early. If these families of martial arts are not suitable, do you still plan to use your teacher and others to find them in the families of civil servants?" a suitable?"

   After all, he was brought up by himself. Feng Ziying winked, and Xiao Duan knew that Feng Ziying probably had someone in his heart, but if there was a suitable candidate, why didn't he bring it up openly? Could it be that the family could disagree?

"That's right, Brother Keng, this matter cannot be delayed. Since you think these few are inappropriate, then there are still some candidates here, um, many of them are women from the civil servant family in the imperial court..." Duan Duan Shi didn't know that her sister was playing for her son, so she nodded in agreement.

"Mother, aunt, in fact, my son has a crush, and he has also got the teacher's approval, but he hasn't had time to tell his mother and aunt. He originally said that he would talk about it after a few days of busy days, but today, since mother and aunt Speaking of which, that son is just picking it up."

  Feng Ziying pursed her lips.

  He was really nervous.

Originally, I planned to clear up my aunt's thinking and work first, and ask my aunt to help me get around, but now my mother and aunt caught me by surprise, so I can only rely on the tacit understanding between myself and my aunt. Fortunately, my aunt loves me, Since I was a child, I have cooperated with myself in various ways, and most of them can help me turn around.

   "Oh?" Duan's big and small became interested all of a sudden, and his son fell in love with it, which is new.

  There is no such thing as free love in this era. There are very few opportunities for young men and women to meet each other. Even if they meet by chance, it is just a chance encounter.

   "Whose girl?" The big and small Duan said in unison.

"Actually both mother and aunt know, but they just haven't met each other. Well, Miss Lin is Miss Lin, the daughter of Linhai, the official inspector of Yan and Huaihe Rivers. The granddaughter of the old matriarch. The ancestors of the Lin family are also nobles, and they can be regarded as descendants of martial arts, but Mr. Lin is from a scholar background." Feng Ziying said generously: "My son met her in Linqing. I always thought it was quite destined. I also met a couple of times in Jia's mansion, um, and Lin Gong, Shen Gong and Qiao Shi are all in the same year, and Lin Gong was Chunwei's Tanhua back then."

  When Feng Ziying said this, Duan and his family all recalled it.

Keng brother Linqing and his party did save a few people. One is said to be the magistrate of Jinling now, the other is a girl from the Lin family, and the other is the second wife of the Xue family in Jinling, who is also related to the Rongguo mansion. , and later had business cooperation with the Feng family.

   "Brother Keng, I'm afraid Miss Lin is a little young?" Mrs. Duan said hesitantly, "Is she still living in Rongguo Mansion now?"

"Well, Miss Lin is three years younger than her son, and now she doesn't live in Rongguo Mansion. Because Mrs. Lin is sick, Miss Lin happened to go back to Yangzhou to visit his father when her son went to the south of the Yangtze River last time. She hasn't come back yet." Feng Ziying introduced: " This time, my son went south for business and met Mr. Lin. Well, to tell the truth, Mr. Lin has helped his son a lot in his career. His son also expressed his love for Miss Lin to Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin did not object,... "

Da Duan frowned, but seeing her son speak so sincerely, she couldn't object, so she hesitated and said, "Brother Keng, Miss Lin is too young, if she wants to marry you, I'm afraid it will take two or three years? How can your marriage be delayed until two or three years later?"

  Da Duan felt a little reluctant, which meant that he would have to hold the third-family grandson for at least three or four years.

Although it is said that one can get married at the age of fourteen these days, everyone knows that women are too young to give birth easily and have a high mortality rate. Fortunately, children are born after the age of eighteen, which is why many couples in this era tend to have women who are bigger than men.

Feng Ziying had also expected this a long time ago, and nodded slowly: "Mother is worried that the son knows, but think about it, if the son and the daughter of the Shen family are going to get married this year or next year, well, that means that maybe the daughter of the Shen family will marry next year." She might be pregnant. If she gave birth to a child, it might be the next year. If her son is engaged to Miss Lin now, it will be two or three years after the daughter of the Shen family gives birth. Getting married, isn't it just in time?"

  Feng Ziying was imagining the best, which made her mother worry about it.

  If you don't get rid of these thoughts first, I'm afraid that when your mother knows about Lin Yatou's body, her opposition will become more intense.

   Now let her first accept the reality of getting married three years later, and then she knows that Lin Yatou is a little weaker, but thinking that three years later, Lin Yatou will definitely be much better when she grows older.

  If it can be supplemented by having a concubine sister as a concubine, just like my aunt, the mother's acceptance will be much higher.

Moreover, if a sister from a concubine comes to marry as a dowry, as my aunt, she must first have a sense of identity with her psychologically. After all, everyone prefers someone who is similar to her own identity, so it can be regarded as having a family member with a common language. I can speak for myself more.

  Feng Ziying thought about what not to do, was meticulous and incomplete, and had a thorough understanding of the psychology of Da Duan and Xiao Duan. For this reason, he also spent some time thinking about strategies, just worried about his mother's obstruction.

Mrs. Daduan was reluctantly persuaded by her son. If Mrs. Shen could really conceive a grandson for her next year and give birth to her in the next year, it is true that these two years have passed in such a flash, and three years does not seem to be that long. , it is not unacceptable.

"Well, Brother Keng, how is Miss Lin?" It is indeed very suitable, but the most important thing is whether you can give birth.

  Feng Ziying sighed inwardly.

The mother is the most important thing, without him, my father went to have one wife, one concubine and two concubines, the mother gave birth to me, and only one of the three aunts gave birth to a daughter, no one can tell whose fault it is, It's too flimsy anyway.

Therefore, the mother is also obsessed with finding a daughter-in-law who can bear children. In this way, if the main wife can have more sons-in-law, the whole family will be stable. There was a dispute.

"Miss Lin is still young, and her body is a bit thin, but my son asked her to start practicing last year with a prescription from Master Zhang, and it has been very effective this year." Feng Ziying did not dare to lie. If you ask, you will know that if you know that you are lying, your mother will object even more.

  As soon as he heard this, Da Duan raised his eyebrows, and his voice suddenly became high-pitched, "Is your body bad? That's not good! Absolutely not!"

"Mother, it's not that she is in poor health, but that she is too young, so my son hopes that she will grow up healthier. This is also in line with your wish to give birth to a son for you as soon as you get married. A thirteen-year-old girl, you Do you think she can grow much stronger? She is not a country girl, she is exposed to wind and rain all day long,..."

   Feng Ziying said helplessly.

He originally wanted to take it easy until his mother found out about Lin Daiyu's situation, and then said that there would be a concubine sister who would marry as a dowry, which might be safer, but seeing his mother's furious brows, he knew he wouldn't break the matter To be clear, I am afraid that my mother will forcefully book a marriage for me.

"Then I don't care, brother Keng, mother has said long ago that you can do everything according to you, but this matter must be decided by mother, even if your father is here, it's the same!" Hong, even her body stood upright, obviously touching her Ni Lin, "Brother Keng, don't talk to your mother, marrying a wife and taking a concubine, you have to let your mother make the decision. , then absolutely not, mother will not take such a risk! Take concubines as you like, brother Keng decides for himself, mother will never ask!"

Feng Ziying sighed, "Mother, Miss Lin's son is also married, and it's our third wife! The son has already promised Lin Gong, and Miss Lin also has a concubine elder sister, who is three or four years older than Miss Lin. It was from a concubine that Duke Lin took in when he was in Suzhou, and Duke Lin is also willing to let Miss Lin, a concubine sister, come over as a dowry, Miss Lin is very healthy and fertile,..."

   At this time, Feng Ziying couldn't care less.

   Until now, he has never met Lin Yatou's elder sister with hair practice, and Wang Wenyan has never contacted him. It is estimated that he has not found it in Beijing.

Now he can only talk nonsense. Lin Yatou's physical condition can be known by just asking, but no one knows about this concubine elder sister. Shake it out first to stabilize his mother's heart. Auntie is good for interrupting.

   "Oh?" Da Duan hesitated for a moment.

Dowry with a concubine is not acceptable in any family marriage. Generally speaking, it is a marriage between a large family, and there is such an arrangement only if great interests are involved, and it is rare to dowry a concubine. Most of the time, they are dowry maids. After all, who would worry about having no heirs before they get married.

Like Feng and Duan's marriage, it is also because Feng's family is a prominent family in Linqing, and Duan's family is a wealthy family in Datong. At that time, Feng's family had only one child who was still young, and the second child was not married, so it is only considered in three-bedroom marriages now. , Later, the son of Changfang also died young.

So when Da Duan was over 30 years old and hadn't come out yet, he married Xiao Duan as his concubine according to the agreement, and as soon as Xiao Duan married into Feng's family, Da Duan became pregnant, and it was said that Xiao Duan brought her Happy.

That's why Xiao Duan has such a high status in Feng's family. Even Da Duan has always regarded Xiao Duan as his own sister, and has a very deep affection. He even entrusted Feng Ziying to Xiao Duan to bring him up since he was a child, because he felt that Xiao Duan was blessed to protect Feng. The only son of the family.

  At this time, Xiao Duan interrupted, "Brother Keng, is what you said true? Is that girl really born of Mrs. Lin?"

"Auntie, who would dare to lie about such things? It's just that Lin Gong's wife is the daughter of Rong Guogong's Jia family, so she didn't dare to say anything before. Later, after her wife passed away, Lin Gong wanted to welcome this girl back several times, but A fortune-teller said that this girl needs to practice in a place far away for ten years before she can get a blessing, so..."

  At this time, Feng Ziying could only use her imagination freely. Anyway, there is such a thing, as for other details, don't worry too much.

Xiao Duan glanced at her sister and nodded slowly: "Brother Keng, if you say it is true that the girl is in good health, then you can consider it, but Brother Keng, do you really recognize the girl from the Lin family? Is it you Do you think you are destined to be with this Miss Lin, or is this Mr. Lin a great help to your future career?"

Hearing what my aunt said, Feng Ziying didn't know that it was my aunt who was helping her to lift the sedan chair, and she was overjoyed, so she said slowly: "Mother, aunt, Miss Lin is indeed destined for her son, so he also recognizes her. , This time I went to Yangzhou, Mr. Lin was very helpful to my son. After returning to Beijing this time, my mother and aunt should know that the emperor and the cabinet ministers all attach great importance to the strategy of opening the sea proposed by my son, which involves another The big event needs to be done in Yangzhou, and I guess it will take another half a month before my son will go to Yangzhou again,..."

Da Duan was a little displeased when his sister set the tone first, and glared at his sister complainingly, then snorted softly and said, "Brother Keng, everything else is easy to talk about, it's just the situation of these two girls. You have to ask clearly, and even the mother has to meet her in person to feel at ease, the rest is up to you, but this mother must see the truth!"

After giving Feng Ziying a wink, Xiao Duan continued, "What my sister said is that you have to meet at least one of them to feel at ease. Brother Keng, my sister is also doing it for your own good. If you have a son in the future, your backyard will be stable. There will be no chaos."

  Feng Ziying knew that it was good to achieve such a result, but it was a bit troublesome for her mother to ask to meet.

  I have to finalize the marriage before Lin Ruhai dies, in order to give an explanation to the Lin family, but now that my mother can't pass this test, then don't think about it.

  I can't bring Lin girl back from Yangzhou to let my mother meet, right? Moreover, most of them are dissatisfied when they see it, and may even be self-defeating.

   It was just seeing her aunt giving her winks, and Feng Ziying knew that if she continued to fight, she might arouse her mother's rebellious psychology, and even felt that there was something tricky about it, so why not borrow a donkey from the **** and come down to discuss how to solve this problem.

  Leaving her mother's room with a depressed mood, Feng Ziying returned to her small courtyard, thinking about how to deal with this matter.

  Lin Daiyu is definitely not suitable, but what about her concubine sister?

  Wang Wenyan said that he arranged for someone to come to the capital to search, and the reasoning time was about the same. If there were no special circumstances, there should be a result. Why haven't you contacted yourself yet?
