Chapter 223: The real daughter of her father【03】

After Ye Yuanchen left from Yuanjia's study, he passed the garden on his way back and met Ye Yinyin who was admiring the flowers in the garden.

Originally he wanted to say hello and leave, but thinking of what his elder brother said to him just now, he hesitated and walked towards Ye Yinyin: "Yinyin, are you here to enjoy the flowers?"

Ye Yuanchen didn't know what to say to this cheap niece. After all, he seldom met before, and he didn't have much communication, so he couldn't talk about understanding, and now he couldn't find a topic if he wanted to care a few words.

Ye Yinyin, who had deliberately met him here, was very excited, she tried her best to keep her face clean, and said shyly: "Well, today is my wedding day, I am happy that everyone can hold a wedding ceremony for me. , come and walk around the garden."

Although she was in a better situation than Ye Mingzhu in her previous life, she was actually not much better. No one cared about her birthday, let alone holding a wedding ceremony for her.

Later, she married Ye Yuanchen. Although she was much loved, she only got married once. If she missed it, she would not have it for the rest of her life. After many birthdays, she would not have a second wedding ceremony.

Unexpectedly, God treated her well, gave her the company of her beloved in her previous life, and let her be reborn to make up for her regrets.

Even though the scale of her wedding ceremony was far less than Ye Mingzhu's wedding ceremony four days later, she was very satisfied.

Ye Yuanchen said with a smile: "It's getting late, you go back to rest early, it's windy in the garden, be careful of catching a cold."

Ye Yinyin didn't want to part with him so soon, but Ye Yuanchen's concern was still very useful to her. She couldn't say anything to refuse, so she could only reluctantly say: "Okay, Yinyin listens to the second uncle."

She glanced at Ye Yuanchen with ecstatic eyes, and then left the garden reluctantly.

Because of Yuan Jia's remarks, Ye Yuanchen, who thought of Ye Yinyin as her niece, didn't receive her secret message at all, and felt that the person had finally left, so he didn't have to rack his brains to think about the topic, and he was relieved.

Ye Yuanchen returned to his yard, asked the servant to light the lamp, picked up the book and read it.

He is currently preparing for the exam, and he is so busy studying hard every day that he really doesn't have the heart to think about too many other things.

After Ye Yinyin went back, she savoured the two words that Ye Yuanchen and her said over and over again, thinking happily in her heart that her sweetheart was caring about her...

It's just that the status of uncle and nephew between the two is an insurmountable gap between them. Ye Yinyin tossed and turned and couldn't sleep when she thought of the resistance she received in marrying Ye Yuanchen in her previous life and the difficulties that Madam Ye and Wang Shi made to her after marriage.

In her last life, she was not adopted as an adopted daughter by the Marquis, and her identity is somewhat unclear. It can be said that she is not a lady of the Marquis, nor is Ye Yuanchen a real uncle and nephew. Ye Yuanchen inherited the title of Marquis of Dingyuan and became a nephew. The owner of the Hou Mansion, Madam Ye and Mrs Wang could not make Ye Yuanchen, who was determined to marry her, change his decision no matter how much they objected.

But the situation in this life is even more troublesome than in the previous life. She was adopted by the Marquis as an adopted daughter. Now it seems that she has a stable position in the Marquis and her situation has improved, but she and Ye Yuanchen's uncle and nephew status have also been confirmed.

The Marquis is alive and well, and he has a direct son Ye Xiangjin. Ye Yuanchen will never be able to inherit the title of Marquis. Can he still marry her under the pressure of his previous life?

Ye Yinyin clenched her heart and swore silently in her heart: "Even if you are only white, I will always stay by your side and never leave."

＜＜＜＜＜＜

On the day of Ye Mingzhu and the wedding ceremony, the gates of the entire Dingyuan Hou Mansion were opened to welcome guests.

All the guests who received the invitation from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion brought congratulations to the door to attend Ye Mingzhu's wedding ceremony, and none of them were absent.

No one wants to offend Dingyuan Hou, who holds a lot of power in the emperor's heart. The case of Dingyuan Hou's mansion's real and fake daughter's package has long been spread all over the capital, and other people in the capital also use it as a reference, and pay special attention to the women in the back house when they give birth. , so as not to have a case of confounding the blood of the package.

Marquis Dingyuan was lucky, that woman Wen told the truth with an uneasy conscience, so she didn't let the real Marquis Dingyuan go out forever, but what if she never found out?

Thinking about the consequences, everyone is reluctant to make such a thing happen in their own homes. Who wants to raise children for others, while their own children are suffering in other people's homes?

At the wedding ceremony, Ye Mingzhu dressed up like a really dazzling pearl, which made all the ladies in the guests could not help but feel a little excited, thinking about whether they have children and nephews who are just right for Ye Mingzhu.

Mrs. Ye presided over the wedding ceremony for Ye Mingzhu in person. Yuan Jia stood aside with a proud smile on her face. She had never left Ye Mingzhu's eyes, and her attitude was precious.

No one who saw it would doubt his love for his lost and found daughter.

Just because of his doting attitude towards Ye Mingzhu, many people want to marry Ye Mingzhu for their sons and nephews.

In addition, after watching the wedding ceremony, Ye Mingzhu behaved gracefully, with outstanding etiquette, without the slightest cringe and inferiority that grew up in the countryside.

The guests praised and praised Ye Mingzhu in front of Yuan Jia, hearing Yuan Jia's brows and smiles, the smile on her face never disappeared.

After the wedding ceremony, the Wang family received many invitations or invitations from wives. These wives either sidelined or bluntly mentioned Ye Mingzhu's marriage to the Wang family, and wanted to marry Ye Mingzhu for their sons and nephews.

Some outstanding people, Wang's heart wants to agree on the spot.

However, she thought of the importance that Hou Ye gave to Ye Mingzhu, so she did not immediately agree: "Mingzhu is favored by Hou Ye, and her marriage must be decided by Hou Ye. I have to go back to the house and ask Hou Ye."

The wife who proposed the marriage didn't care, but was even more happy: "It's time for Lord Hou to decide, Lord Hou is really fond of her..."

After Wang's return to the mansion, when Yuan Jia came to the main courtyard after handling official business, she told him about it: "Master Hou, Mingzhu has already reached her wedding, and her marriage should be ready. The dowry has been saved, there are several My wife has mentioned to me that she wants to marry Mingzhu…”

Wang's family told Yuan Jia of the families she liked: "If you agree, Lord Hou, the concubine will agree."

Yuan Jia said, "No hurry."

Wang Shi was slightly startled: "Master Hou, why are you not in a hurry? Mingzhu and the queen should also consider the matter of getting married. Make a decision early, lest Hao Erlang be decided by another family."

There are only a few suitable families in the capital, and fewer have children of the right age. Wang's family is more inclined to set up a marriage for his daughter earlier.

Yuan Jia didn't want to marry Ye Mingzhu early, let alone marry her into a wealthy family.

Ye Mingzhu has a pure temperament, clear black and white, and can't learn conspiracy and tricks, and can't double-headed, such a true temperament, in the complex back house of a wealthy family, will only be skinned and dismantled, and the bones will not be left after eating.

He promised Ye Mingzhu that he would love her forever and protect her for the rest of his life.

Yuan Jia said to Wang, "I care about Mingzhu's marriage. Don't promise anyone else."

The families that Wang mentioned were all from high-ranking families, the highest in the family, and the back house was not simple. He was at odds with Wang's idea of ​​marrying his daughter to a high-class family, so it would be better not to let Wang intervene.

Wang Shi frowned slightly: "Master Hou, are you reluctant to let Mingzhu go and keep her for a few more years?"

Yuan Jia nodded and said, "It's not good for my daughter's family to get married too early, her body hasn't grown yet."

Wang said, "But if you keep Mingzhu as an old girl, what if she can't get married? Those sons who are too old and haven't married have all kinds of flaws."

Yuan Jia said: "I know, you can get married earlier, and get married later."

Wang Shi said, "Since you can get married first, what's wrong with the families chosen by your concubine?"

Yuan Jia said: "Mingzhu has a simple temperament and is not suitable for marrying into a complicated family. I will choose a husband for her who is motivated and has an outstanding personality. There is no good marriage that is difficult to get along with her in-laws."

Wang Shi was stunned, looked at Yuan Jia with complicated eyes, and said nothing more.

Yuan Jia added: "I'm here to find Mingzhu's marriage. You should be more concerned about Ye Yinyin's marriage. She is the same age as Mingzhu. She has been raised for more than ten years, and she can't keep people from marrying."

Wang Shi nodded and replied, "My concubine knows."

At this time, the sound of the child crying came from the next room, Wang hurriedly got up and went to the next door, Yuan Jia followed.

"Why is the child crying?"

"Good son, mother hugs, don't cry, don't cry."

＜＜＜＜＜＜

Yuan Jia began to choose a son-in-law for Ye Mingzhu. He didn't want Ye Mingzhu to marry before the age of eighteen, but women in this world get married early. If they don't set a fiancé for her sooner, the good son will be picked by another family.

So Ye Mingzhu just got married, and Yuan Jia could only start to choose.

He does not require his son-in-law to be of noble birth, at least to have a wealthy family, and he cannot let his daughter marry and endure hardship.

It is not required that the son-in-law be only eight buckets high, learn to be rich five cars, at least have the ability, be able to be an official, and earn an official life for his daughter in the future.

He does not require his son-in-law to look better than Pan An, but at least his facial features should be good-looking, and he should not be unremarkable. Let his daughter marry him and look at him unattractive, and it will also affect his grandson's appearance genes.

It is not required that the son-in-law's parents die and have no brothers and sisters, at least the parents must get along well. The brothers and sisters are kind people. If the daughter is married and is bullied by her husband's family, he may not be able to help himself to bully others.

The son-in-law is not required to be of high character, but at least he should treat his wife and children wholeheartedly, have a sense of responsibility, and will not betray the family.

Yuan Jia's conditions may not seem to be high, but in fact, there are high requirements everywhere. At least none of the families who proposed marriage to Wang's family met all of his requirements.

Yuan Jia was very worried, and sent his people out to investigate the details of the candidates, and he must not miss any shortcomings.

While he was slowly investigating and screening, the emperor suddenly mentioned Ye Mingzhu's marriage to him: "Ye Aiqing's daughter has also reached the age of marriage, why don't we get married?"

Yuan Jia quickly refused: "Your Majesty, the little girl has grown up in the countryside since she was a child, and she can't bear the restraints. Wei Chen also doesn't want to marry the little girl into a high school. She lived a peaceful and happy life, happy and healthy."

The emperor shook his head regretfully: "Then it seems that I have no chance to be in-law with Ye Aiqing."

He wanted to promise Ye Mingzhu to the sixth prince who had not yet married his concubine, but the emperor also knew that his son could not be gentle and considerate, and Ye Mingzhu, who grew up in the countryside and did not like to be restrained, could not adapt to the prince's backyard. life.

The emperor didn't want his confidants to blame him, so he never mentioned the marriage.

After Yuanjia left the palace, the sixth prince asked to see the emperor.

He looked at his father eagerly.

The emperor said helplessly: "Marquis Dingyuan didn't plan to let his daughter marry, so you should die."

The sixth prince was very regretful, but he didn't entangle him, "It seems that my son won't be able to get his wish."

Fortunately, he couldn't marry Dingyuanhou's daughter, neither could his brothers, and no one could win Dingyuanhou's support, but it didn't break the balance.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

Yuan Jia felt a sense of urgency because the emperor suddenly wanted Ye Mingzhu to marry the prince. He was afraid that one day the emperor would grant the marriage without a word.

So Yuanjia started to speed up the screening.

At the same time, he called Ye Mingzhu to the study and handed her the booklet that recorded many school-age teenagers who had been screened for the first time: "Look, which ones do you like."

Ye Mingzhu opened the booklet curiously, and then saw that the booklet was filled with the identity information, family environment, and personality of men who were not much different from her age. They were listed in such detail that she was shocked.

"Father, this is..."

Yuan Jia said with a smile: "This is the husband-in-law candidate selected by Dad for you. You can see what you like. When you choose some first, Dad will take you to meet the real person."

Ye Mingzhu stared blankly at her father, she never thought that she could choose such a marriage?

She has the feeling of an emperor's draft, and she suspects that if she says she wants to marry a prince, her father can find a way to make her a prince concubine.

Ye Mingzhu didn't know that Yuan Jia had already helped her push down the position of the prince's concubine. Considering the rest of her life, he would never put her in a dangerous situation.

Ye Mingzhu came back to her senses, looked down at the booklet in her hand, and chose carefully despite her shyness.

Although this kind of behavior is not in line with common sense, she knows in her heart that this is for her father's good, and everything is based on her wishes, so she chooses very carefully.

She circled a few candidates with a pen and handed the booklet to Yuan Jia.

Yuan Jia took a look and found that Ye Mingzhu's candidates were all gentle and good-natured, more old and kind. He glanced at Ye Mingzhu, but didn't say anything more about her choice, and said with a smile: "Wait for daddy to help. You check these people in detail, and then I'll take you to see what I look like."

Ye Mingzhu nodded shyly.

She couldn't help but ask: "Dad, then, what about Ye Yinyin? Her marriage..."

Ye Yinyin was married to the second uncle in the last life, can Ye Yinyin marry the second uncle in this life?

Yuan Jia thought of Ye Yinyin who was about to approach Ye Yuanchen recently, frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Her marriage is up to your mother to decide."

Ye Mingzhu hesitated for a while, but decided to tell her father: "Dad, I found that Ye Yinyin seems to be paying too much attention to the second uncle."

Yuan Jia didn't show any surprise, and said calmly, "Mingzhu, you don't need to worry about Ye Yinyin, Dad will handle it well and won't let her affect you."

It is impossible for him to let the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion make a scandal of uncle marrying a niece, which will affect Ye Mingzhu's reputation.

And now, under his advice, Ye Yuanchen really just treats Ye Yinyin as a niece, and no matter how Ye Yinyin wants to continue the frontier, he has decided the fate.

Ye Mingzhu received Yuan Jia's guarantee, so she was very relieved to stop paying attention to the situation of Ye Yinyin and Ye Yuanchen.

With anticipation, she thought about who her future husband would be and what her life would be like after she got married.

It's just that she thought that she might not be able to see her father often after getting married, so Ye Mingzhu rushed to Yuan Jia and said, "Father, I don't want to get married!"

Yuan Jia asked strangely, "Why?"

Ye Mingzhu's mouth was flat, and her eyes looking at Yuan Jia were full of dependence: "Father, if I get married, I can't go back to my parents' house all the time, and I can't see my father often."

Yuan Jia laughed and said: "Mingzhu, Dad is worried that you are simple in nature, and you will not be used to that kind of life where you have to turn a few turns when you are married to a big family, so the family that Dad chooses for you is not as simple as the family background. Our family, so you can go home if you want to go home in the future, if your in-laws dare to have any opinions, father will teach them a lesson."

Why was he unwilling to let Ye Mingzhu marry into a wealthy family? Not only because of Ye Mingzhu's unsuitable personality, but also because the wealthy and wealthy are not easy to handle. If the man does something wrong to Ye Mingzhu in the future, it will not be easy for him to seek justice for Ye Mingzhu.

Low marriage is different. With his own father as a backer, who would dare to neglect Ye Mingzhu in her husband's family? The whole family has to hold her and respect her, and dare not make her unhappy.

He said that he wanted to spoil her for a lifetime, so that she would be happy and happy for the rest of her life.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

Ye Mingzhu's marriage was finally selected by Yuan Jia after thousands of choices.

He chose a poor and noble son.

This noble son was named Zhang Yizhi, and his ancestor was Uncle Zhongyong. However, the title of Earl Zhongyong was passed down to the generation of Zhang Yizhi's grandfather. By the time of Zhang Yizhi's father, he had become a commoner.

Although the personal connections are still there, it is really nothing in the capital.

Zhang Yizhi's father has no ability, and his body is not good. He has been in bed to recuperate. Zhang Yizhi's mother mainly takes care of him.

Zhang Yizhi has experienced the glory of having a title when his grandfather was alive and the downfall of being a commoner without a title now. He studied hard and worked hard. Now he has passed the exam as a scholar and is studying at the Imperial College.

Zhang Yizhi has a strong and generous temperament. He is the only son in the family, has no siblings, and his parents are soft-tempered. The family has no title, but his ancestral assets are still there.

After Zhang Yizhi was selected, Yuan Jia also went to Guozijian in advance to see Zhang Yizhi's appearance. He was a handsome young man, and he was quite satisfied.

Ye Mingzhu, who was quietly disguised as a man, also came out to see him. After confirming that Ye Mingzhu agreed, Yuan Jia sent Butler Song to Zhang's house in a low-key manner to propose marriage to Zhang's father and mother.

Zhang's father and Zhang's mother heard that Butler Song said that Marquis Dingyuan had taken a fancy to their son and wanted their son to be his son-in-law. They couldn't believe that such a big pie would fall on their Zhang family's head.

Even when Zhang Yizhi's grandfather was still alive, the Zhang family, who had no title, could not climb up to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Father Zhang asked in disbelief, "This, this, how could Lord Hou like my family Yizhi?"

After the Zhang family did not have a title, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother were ridiculed and looked down upon by others. The two were a little inferior, and Zhang Yizhi's marriage was not easy to say.

Butler Song said with a smile: "Master Hou is the jewel in our family's hand, and Master Hou is worried that the young lady will be wronged when she gets married to a high-ranking family. I heard that your Zhang family is gentle and honest, Mr. Zhang, you treat your wife wholeheartedly, never take concubines, Zhang The son's studies are also good, and in the future, there will be a promotion from the Hou Ye, and the future is bright, and the Hou Ye likes Zhang Gongzi."

Zhang's father and mother suddenly understood, nodded hastily, and agreed immediately: "It is an honor for the dog to see the dog. Please rest assured that we will treat Miss Ye as our biological daughter and will never give it to the dog. Taking a concubine will add to Miss Ye."

Butler Song smiled contentedly. He knew that Young Master Zhang would be the uncle of the Hou Mansion in the future, and he would not put on airs in front of Father Zhang and Mother Zhang.

"Mr. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, the two should discuss with Mr. Zhang and go to the Hou residence to propose marriage as soon as possible. Of course, Mr. Hou said, if Mr. Zhang is unwilling, you should not force it."

After Butler Song left, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother couldn't wait to have the servants go to the Guozijian to call Zhang Yizhi back.

They happily told Zhang Yizhi the good news.

Zhang Yizhi is a smart person. He knows that there is a big gap between his family and Dingyuan Hou's family. The only thing that can make Dingyuan Hou's fancy is that the Zhang family is the high-ranking party in this marriage, and will not wrong the Hou's family.

He hesitated: "Father, mother, what if that Miss Ye is a bad-tempered person and is not good to us because of the power of the Hou Mansion?"

Zhang Yizhi is not afraid of being told that he eats his wife's soft rice and relies on the Yue family to climb up, because he is really moved. If he marries Dingyuan Hou's daughter, he can save decades of struggle.

But he is a good and filial boy, and he will inevitably consider whether his wife will be domineering and bad for his parents in the future.

Zhang's father said: "It shouldn't be. Today, the housekeeper of the Hou residence came to the house, and his attitude was not arrogant at all, and even the Hou Dingyuan said that if you don't want to, you won't force us. I have never heard of Dingyuan. There are rumors of bullying the people in the Hou Mansion, so it can be seen that Dingyuan Hou is not the kind of person who bullies others. If there is a father, there must be a daughter, and the daughter of Dingyuan Hou should not be arrogant and domineering."

Mother Zhang said: "It is said that this Miss Ye grew up in the countryside before she was fourteen years old. Maybe she is not as temperamental as a real noble girl, so the Duke of Dingyuan did not dare to marry her daughter into a noble family, for fear of her Being bullied. As long as we treat Miss Ye well, Duke Dingyuan will also treat Yizhi well. With the promotion of Duke Dingyuan, Yizhi will have a bright future in the future."

Zhang Yizhi was persuaded, but he still quietly inquired about the reputation of Dingyuan Hou's mansion in private, and then asked his parents to go to Dingyuan Hou's mansion to propose marriage.

Of course, Yuan Jia knew that Zhang Yizhi had secretly inquired about Dingyuan Hou's mansion's wind commentary, and he didn't care. This kind of relationship was mutual. There was no reason why the woman could look at the man, but the man couldn't inquire about the woman's situation.
