Chapter 66 What a childhood sweetheart
The two little men looked at each other and said to Cao Yuanyang: "Miss Cao, are you going to give Ruoyi (Ruochang) gifts? But my mother said that you can't accept other people's gifts at will!"
Cao Yuanyang felt more and more embarrassed when he opened his mouth, but who told her that there was nothing left? Chen Jiru next to her was familiar with her. Seeing her embarrassed, she coughed lowly, and said vaguely in her throat, "Pearl."
Cao Yuanyang gave the coachman the money to the carriage before, and it was a pearl that was taken. A famous prostitute like her, with silver on her, was so vulgar! Naturally, she brought the pearls with decent face. She always had a great taste in rewarding someone with a ingot of silver. Just like the Jinshi in "The Biography of Prince Li" written by Chen Jiru, she could give a pearl, which tasted differently, but after all, she used the pearl as money and used the money as a gift for others, which was really a bit vulgar.
However, it is better than giving nothing! Cao Yuanyang bit his lip, took out four pearls from his sleeve, and gave Ruoyi and Ruochang two to each other, saying that he was for the two sisters to play with. As a cousin, he nodded and signaled to accept them. Cao Yuanyang then got up, walked to Xiaoqian, reached out to hold Xiaoqian's hand, and looked apologetic, "Sister Xiaoqian, my sister will definitely prepare a gift for you next time." You must know that although Ruoyi Ruochang and Cao Yuanyang are very blessed, they are children after all. It would be okay to give two beads to them. But Xiaoqian is about the same age as the good official, and secondly, she is the closest person around the good official, so giving money is insulting, so she took the pearls to the two little sisters and apologized to Xiaoqian.
Xiaoqian smiled and said what his sister was saying. Cao Yuanyang saw that she did not have the restrained feeling of ordinary little maids, and she spoke calmly and looked more and more arrogantly. She couldn't help but regret that she was dressed up in men's clothes and didn't even bring a bracelet. As a result, she met a little sister, but she didn't even have a gift for her meeting. She was so ugly that she would be ridiculed by others when she said it out in the future.
She is famous for playing the flute and socializing in Jiangnan. If someone knows that she recognizes a little sister but doesn't have a gift for her, she will indeed be laughed at.
Ruoyi and Ruochang also knew that this pearl was expensive. They held it tightly in their hands, pursed their lips, and communicated with each other with their eyes. These two twins are not as good as ordinary sisters. They are quite spiritual communication in the blink of an eye. Especially when they were born in a family with seven sisters, they often saw their parents sighing, talking about how they got married when they grew up in the future. Therefore, at a young age, they are still nervous about money and cannot be said to be jealous of money, but they must pay more attention to money than girls of the same age.
The two looked at each other, walked to the side of the good official, reached out and held the pearls on their palms. The round pearls looked extremely beautiful in their tender palms. I don’t know if they were beautiful hands or pearls.
"What are you doing?" The good official was stunned, and the two sisters said in unison: "The eldest uncle said that when Ruoyi (Ruochang) grows up, he will be his wife for his cousin, so Ruoyi (Ruochang) should not save the dowry."
How cruel this was, the obedient official's face turned dark immediately. Chen Jiru and Dong Qichang couldn't help but burst out laughing. Even Cao Yuanyang was famous for his sociality and was most taboo to laugh when others were embarrassed, which was easy to offend people. Even so, Cao Yuanyang couldn't help it, and suddenly showed a few snow-white teeth, and then quickly stretched out his palm to cover his mouth.
"Brother Feng Zhang, what a childhood sweetheart! We are so envious!" Although Chen Jiru admired the talent and magnanimity of the good official, he had the opportunity to mock the other party for avenging the slap in the face before. How could a famous scholar like him, who made a name for his criticism, not seize the opportunity! Of course, he had to take the opportunity to take revenge.
Seeing Chen Jiru's proud look in his palm with a folding fan, the good official wanted to punch him in the face, envy your mother! You are so mean! But who told him that his foot was caught by someone else! He had to laugh twice as if he didn't hear it, and then glared at the two sisters.
There is a reason for this little wife to say. Dad Zheng, the aunt of the good official, isn’t it unknown what the father of Zheng, his wife and sister have always been good to the Zheng family and look like his deceased wife. This person is always a man! He always has to pay attention to a love house and a gangster! Besides, Ruoyi Ruochang is indeed likable, so Dad Zheng is full of thoughts. The eldest son Ruoyu will definitely not do it. In three or four years, the good official will be only sixteen or seventeen years old, but it doesn’t matter if the two sisters Ruoyi Ruochang wait for seven or eight years!
You should know that when the bad official gets the crown at the age of 20 in seven years, he will be qualified to take a formal concubine. The eldest son Ruoyu can't afford to wait. When he is nineteen years old, there is no reason why a 19-year-old girl still doesn't get married. But Ruoyi Ruochang is only fifteen years old after seven years. He is a good general and is very suitable to be a good official.
These two little girls are beautiful, and there is a shadow of their wife in the face. Mr. Zheng loves the house and is in the underworld. He thinks that if the two sisters are little wives for their son, his wife will be happy in the underworld! The son is their cousin. Even if he marrys a wife in the future, he will definitely not treat the two sisters badly, let alone his uncle and father to support them!
Therefore, although he always refused to let his children enter his house because of his lung disease, he always had intersections at home, and he was willing to look at the children from afar, feeling that the family was becoming more and more home-like. Sometimes he couldn't help but say to Shan Chixia or Datou, "Oh!" Ruoyi Ruo often became a wife for the good official. After a while, the servants of the Zheng family knew about it, and the good official's aunt pretended to be deaf and dumb, perhaps in his heart, she also thought it was good. You must know that the two sisters looked so similar. Sometimes the two were fooling around, and the sister pretended to be sister, and the sister pretended to be sister, which made people laugh and cry. The two were still young now. According to this trend, how should they get married when they grew up?
These two people look so close that they sometimes can't tell the difference between mothers. If they get married, if they accidentally make a joke, you should know that the Wang family is also an official family. If they make a joke like a sister entering her brother-in-law's room, wouldn't it be a joke? It wouldn't it be a joke that would make the whole Ningbo talk more and discredit the Wang family's lintel.
If you marry your aunt and nephew together, you will have a great future, and it may not be a good story in the future. If your twin cousin marry your childhood sweetheart, it will be a good thing no matter where you go. As for the concubine or not, the aunt of the good official feels that Ruoyiruo is still young and has plenty of time to tie her aunt's heart to her sisters. Even if it really doesn't work in the end, it is not unacceptable to be a concubine. For example, if your good official is in high school before he can win the imperial examination, he will still care about whether he is not a concubine at that time, so it is definitely not wrong to marry him as soon as possible.
The aunt of the good official is not an uninformed country woman. Her father-in-law was also a Beijing official. She has heard this sentence, "Thirty-year-old Ming Jing, fifty-year-old Jinshi". If her aunt and nephew are under 20 years old, she will be in high school. At that time, there will be a lot of people rushing to send it to her as a concubine!
You should know that everything is possible. Countless scholars pass the exam year after year, not just for a carp to jump into the dragon gate. The biggest advantage of a good official is that he is young and a thirteen-year-old scholar. Looking around the world, although there are not many, there are absolutely not many. The most important and most important thing is that no thirteen-year-old scholar is as famous as a good official.
In the past half a month, the aunt of the good official has also seen scholars from Ningbo visiting his aunt and nephew. No matter how old the person is, he will say that his life is just like seeing Brother Zheng Xian for the first time? Then he will send a message to him, and he will basically have to attach a few taels of silver. These days, the silver has been collected by a hundred taels. In this situation, how can the aunt of the good official not be moved!
Of course, a young man may not be able to become a Jinshi and become a high-ranking official when he becomes famous. The most typical negative example is Xu Wenchang, Shanyin, and Mr. Qingteng is famous all over the world, but he never passed the Jinshi exam in his entire life.
But then again, Mr. Qingteng's good friend, Zhu Dashou of Shanyin, was also famous at a young age. He grew up and was the top scholar in high school. He became the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites and was posthumously named Wen Yi.
Therefore, it is necessary to become famous early. Some young people become famous and are the nephews of their own legitimate relatives. No matter how much they are, they will just hold them in their hands first. Let’s talk about what happens in the future in the future.
Therefore, after a while, Ruoyi and Ruochang also knew that they would be their little wife to their cousin in the future. Although the two sisters were a bit weird, they were still young and did not understand the true meaning. So they said this in front of such people. In a few years, they would be unable to speak such words if they were beaten to death.
The good official glared at the two of them, but there was no way to scold them. Besides, this was also the innocence of childhood. In a few years, I am afraid that he would want to make people say that they might not be happy, so he had to smile bitterly at Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru, "Child words are not bad, so he should not make fun of me."
Chen Jiru laughed twice and said, "I really feel that this trip is worthwhile to see the day when I meet you again, and I am a young man in Yushu." Seeing that he was reluctant to give up, he was overwhelmed by him, he had to beg for forgiveness, "Okay, okay, brother Chen, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, I've got all my underwear, but I can still spare my younger brother."
After hearing his words "I've missed my underwear", Cao Yuanyang couldn't help but burst out laughing. Dong Qichang next to him also smiled and said, "Zhongchun, be kind, don't bully people like this."
Chen Jiru finally breathed a sigh of relief in his chest, exhaling in one breath, and then said with a smile: "Brother, please invite me to have a meal, and we will be wiped out." He spoke more and more rudely, and he threw the scholar's set aside, which was to show that he could see the same thing and be a good family.
The good official shook his head, "Okay, I've met a literati hooligan from the Ming Dynasty. Once this literati is shameless, he will be invincible in the world."
"Miss Cao, please come first." He turned his head and said to Cao Yuanyang to go first, and then said to Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru: "Please stop! Two brothers."
