"You want him to do it by himself. In the end, he will have to wrong himself and his fiancée in order not to let his siblings think too much. This is a major event in his life. If you, as a father, don't play your role and come out to help, then I will let Brother Li do it.

Just pretend that you have no father and don't care about you. Anyway, he was raised by me and he doesn't owe you anything. It's up to you what to do."

Zhao Yuanliang immediately shrank his neck and promised repeatedly: "I know, I know. When I get back, I will look at the account book and make plans. No matter when they reply, I will prepare it here first. After the betrothal gift list,

I'll show it to my sister-in-law in the future, and you can confirm it after you nod. What do you think?"

"That's pretty much it." Zhu's expression brightened slightly.

She turned to Zhao Jingli and said: "Your father is unreliable. Keep an eye on yourself. Don't be embarrassed. You are the eldest son. According to the calculation of family division, you should also get 70% of your betrothal gift and your wife's."

The dowry must be better than that of the younger siblings below, otherwise she will be unable to control people at home in the future, which will be the root of chaos in the family. So don’t think too much, what’s yours is yours.”

"If you are doing well, if your younger brothers and sisters are not doing well, you can also take care of them. If you leave something to them and they can't keep it, it becomes someone else's thing, and you can't help even if you want to. So in

You have to be clear about this matter and don't be confused. Don't let a good marriage be ruined for you."

As early as when Zhu turned to him, Zhao Jingli stood up and listened to the training. As he listened, his eyes slowly turned red.

After Zhu finished speaking, he should have said: "Auntie said yes, my nephew has remembered it."

But he didn't want to say this.

He wanted to be called "Mother" but not "Auntie".

Only Mrs. Zhu, who still regards him as her son, is so worried about his marriage. Only a girl with a broad mind like Zhao Ruxi doesn't care about Mr. Zhu's kindness to him.

To these two people, he would be grateful for the rest of his life.

He will also be kind to them all his life.

When the four members of the He family returned home, Mr. He asked Wang and He Zhi to learn about the situation. Hearing that Wang and He Zhi had a positive attitude towards the Zhao family, he looked at He Yuqi again: "What do you think?"

He Zhi immediately complained: "If I hadn't stopped her, my sister would have directly agreed to the marriage."

He Yuqi glared at her brother fiercely: "Nonsense. How could I."

He Zhi rubbed his nose, unwilling to argue with his sister about this issue.

Mrs. Wang looked at Mr. He curiously: "How is Mr. Zhao Er?"

If this father-in-law is confused, then this marriage will have to be discussed and discussed.

Although Mr. He was very happy to be coaxed by Zhao Yuanliang in Suiping's house, and the two immediately became friends, he was still quite clear-headed.

He said: "I am a good person and very frank. I said frankly that I don't like to worry about it. This family is all left to Mr. Zhao. If Yuqi marries in the future, she will directly be the head grandmother and take care of everything in the house."

They, the couple, are in charge."

"He also said that he did not plan to marry again and he would not have any more children. It is enough to have just these children at home. It would be too much trouble, worry and expense. He said that if the second son fails the Tongsheng Examination next year,

Let him make a living and not live a free life at home. The family only has so much property and it is really hard to support so many people."

Finally, he concluded: "I originally heard Zhao Zhuangyuan tell Yuqi that her second uncle was ignorant, and I thought that Mr. Zhao was confused. But after meeting him today, I feel that he is a sensible person. He lives a very clear life. He knows.

If you can't do it yourself, you can't worry about it. If you can avoid causing trouble to your children, don't cause trouble."

Mrs. Wang looked around at the group of people and asked, "Then this is how the marriage is decided?"

Mr. He said: "It's settled."

He Zhi and He Yuqi both nodded.

Mr. He said to He Zhi: "You will go to the capital early tomorrow morning. First, visit Mr. Zhao, sit at their house and take a look at the environment. If you feel okay, you can go to the concierge of Uncle Suiping's Mansion.

Deliver a letter here. There is no male master in the house, so you will come back after delivering the letter."

"Yes." He Zhi nodded in agreement.

Although it is impolite to be an uninvited guest, otherwise, he would not be able to see the real situation of the Zhao family's second room. If the Zhao family's second room is narrow, small, messy, and the servants have no rules, then he will have to think carefully about this marriage.

…

After the He family left, Zhao Ruxi ignored the matter. Anyway, if the He family didn't agree to the marriage, the matter would be over; if he agreed, the follow-up would be out of her control, and neither would the Zhu family.

In ancient times, the process from engagement to marriage was complicated. The matchmaker had to go back and forth seven or eight times, or more than a dozen times if it was troublesome. They were about to leave Beijing, so how could they have the time to be a matchmaker? This matter would have to be done in the end.

Go ask the official media.

When Zhao Jingli gets married, neither Zhao Yuanxun nor she can leave their posts and cannot come back; the old lady is old and can't come back if she doesn't want to travel. Only Zhu will come back and have a wedding banquet and that's it.

Based on Zhu's feelings for Zhao Jingli, she would definitely give him some property as a betrothal gift. Zhao Ruxi would not even bother with this.

"Mom, I'm going to my master's place." Zhao Ruxi stood up and said to Mrs. Zhu.

"It's time to go," Mrs. Zhu said, "I'm still thinking about inviting a banquet to thank your master, Lord Peng, Princess Shangde, Madam Cui and others. Without them, no matter how smart you are, it will be in vain."

"Okay, I think we should." Zhao Ruxi said, "Just invite the male guests at the restaurant, and invite the female guests at home. You don't have to worry about it then. Even if you invite the guests at home, you can just invite them in the restaurant.

."

Zhu nodded in agreement: "Okay, that's good."

If cooking at home, planning menus, purchasing ingredients, and arranging cooks are too many and cumbersome things to do, it would be better to order food directly from a restaurant. Anyway, everyone knows that they have a busy schedule, and everyone can understand when they order a table.

"Then don't leave yet. Write the invitation and take it to your master and senior brothers in a moment. If you want to invite others, such as Mr. Peng from the Imperial College, ask your senior brothers to bring them over tomorrow morning. Although this is a bit disrespectful,

But if you are a girl, they can understand."

"Yeah, mother, you are so thoughtful." Zhao Ruxi flattered her, went back to her yard, wrote a stack of invitations, and went out with the invitations.

Although today is a holiday, Wuhuai Temple is open all year round. As long as there is something in the yamen, it must be dealt with. Now is the most critical time for dispatching officials. Even if the list comes out, he cannot rest.

Therefore, she made an appointment with her master, senior brother, and second senior brother to meet at Shen Zheng time.

She wanted to gain some experience as a local official from her senior brothers.
