Chapter 224: The real daughter of her father [04]

The Zhang family came to propose a marriage, Yuan Jia was afraid that the Wang family would not look down on the Zhang family's bad attitude towards Zhang's father and mother, which would cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so he warned Wang in advance.

Therefore, when Zhang's mother and Zhang's mother came to propose a marriage to Zhang Yizhi and asked to marry Ye Mingzhu, although the Wang family did not despise the Zhang family, they did a great job on the face.

After the marriage was decided and the tokens were exchanged, Zhang’s father and Zhang’s mother returned and said, “Marquis Dingyuan and Madam Hou are both mild-tempered, not like the powerful and condescending people who look down on others, and Miss Ye has a good temperament. "

Zhang's family is satisfied with this marriage. The only worry is that Ye Mingzhu's background is too high and will be domineering and bullying. But after seeing Yuan Jia and Wang's family, they are relieved and hollow out their family. preparations for the engagement ceremony.

After all, he married the eldest daughter of the Dingyuan Marquis, and the dowry must not be shabby.

After the news of the marriage between the Dingyuan Hou Mansion and the Zhang family spread, many people were shocked.

Especially those who had mentioned marriage with Wang, couldn't help but find an opportunity to hold a flower viewing banquet, invited Wang to attend, and took the opportunity to ask Wang: "What's so special about that son of the Zhang family? Into the eyes of Duke Dingyuan?"

Wang Shi was angry when he thought of this marriage. No one in the Zhang family was an official, not even a title. He was just a common man. Zhang Yizhi, the most promising person in the Zhang family, was also a scholar. a question mark.

What are the benefits of marrying such a relative in the Dingyuan Houfu? In the future, when her son grows up, with such a useless brother-in-law, how can he help him? It's good not to drag her son down.

Wang shi couldn't understand what Yuan Jia was thinking, but she couldn't be the master of Yuan Jia.

Even if the Wang family has a lot of dissatisfaction with the Zhang family, it is impossible to show it in front of outsiders. Instead, she has to show that she is very satisfied with this marriage: "The child is smart, motivated and honest, and the Zhang family also promised not to accept it. Concubine, even if the family is a little worse, it's okay, Hou Ye said that the child's happiness is the most important thing."

When the ladies heard Wang say that the Zhang family promised never to take concubines, the dissatisfaction in their hearts dissipated.

In order to curry favor with the Dingyuan Hou Mansion, the Zhang family was cruel, and even gave this promise. This is a promise they can't make. After all, they want their sons and nephews to guard Ye Mingzhu's life as a woman. What if Ye Mingzhu has a difficult childbirth like Wang's?

Wang was being questioned a lot, and from the flower viewing banquet back to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, he was in a bad mood.

Ye Yinyin came to greet Wang Shi. Seeing Wang Shi's gloomy face, she quickly asked, "Mother, what's the matter with you?"

Wang Shi looked at Ye Yinyin, who looked beautiful and beautiful, stretched out her hand to hold her hand, and said, "Yinyin, don't worry, your mother will definitely find a high-profile family for you, and you will have a destiny to marry. Unlike that girl, Mingzhu, With shallow eyelids, you actually lowered your status to marry a poor householder, and the daughter of a dignified nobleman married a scholar?"

Ye Yinyin understands what the Wang family is angry about. Long before Ye Mingzhu got married, the Wang family was angry about the Zhang family's marriage for many days. It is a pity that Lord Hou firmly chose Zhang Yizhi from the Zhang family. decision.

She felt that Zhang Yizhi was a very good candidate. In her previous life, she heard Ye Yuanchen mention Zhang Yizhi, saying that he had excellent abilities, was valued by the emperor, and was reinstated after being dismissed.

Although she didn't care much about the affairs of the court in her previous life, and because of her status, she didn't like to go out to socialize with other ladies, but she wanted to come, Zhang Yizhi should have a bright future to be valued by the emperor.

Ye Mingzhu's marriage to Zhang Yizhi is not considered a low marriage, but it is a potential stock.

But Ye Yinyin didn't dare to open her mouth to comfort Wang like this. She knew that Wang told her this just to vent her emotions, not to want her to be the opposite.

Wang murmured for a while, and then mentioned that she wanted to find Ye Yinyin a high-born husband, as if she wanted to use this method to prove to Yuan Jia that she was right.

Ye Yinyin didn't want to marry someone else, and she didn't dare to say the real reason directly, so she could only say politely: "Mother, I'm just the adopted daughter of the Hou's House, not your biological daughter. Those high-profile sons should be unwilling."

The Wang family was silent for a while, Ye Yinyin's identity was indeed flawed, and the marriage of the right family was for the good of the two surnames, to marry each other, so that the descendants would be linked by blood, and the family would also help each other.

Why would she want to marry an adopted daughter of the Dingyuan Marquis's family that she was interested in that matched the family of the Dingyuan Marquis? Ye Yinyin's marriage can only be found at a lower level, maybe it can only be married to a concubine, how could Wang's be willing?

Wang Shi said, "Don't worry about this. I'll talk to Hou Ye, so it won't affect your marriage."

Ye Yinyin thought to herself, Lord Hou would not agree with Wang's whimsical idea. If the two had different opinions, her marriage could be delayed a little. Taking advantage of this time difference, she had to express her intentions with Ye Yuanchen as soon as possible and reach a consensus.

Of course Wang didn't know that Ye Yinyin had a soft spot for her uncle Ye Yuanchen for a long time. She really went to discuss with Yuan Jia how to mention Ye Yinyin's identity so that Ye Yinyin could marry him.

Yuan Jia was surprised when she heard her words: "Madam, are you right? Do you want Ye Yinyin's adopted daughter to be a pearl in the marriage?"

He never thought of marrying Ye Yinyin to a high-class family. Her best choice is to choose a student from a poor family to marry in the meeting. At that time, with the Dingyuan Houfu as a backer, she must have a good life.

In the end, the Wang family actually wanted Ye Yinyin to marry a family higher than Ye Mingzhu? Did she deliberately want to step on Ye Mingzhu?

Yuan Jia couldn't understand Wang's irrational behavior: "Ye Yinyin is only the adopted daughter of the Hou's residence, and her marriage cannot be more than Mingzhu. You just need to choose a suitable poor student in the upcoming exam. Don't mess around."

Wang Shi took a deep breath and said dissatisfiedly: "Master Hou, Yinyin and Mingzhu are all married lowly, what is the use of their in-laws to our Hou residence? Xiang Jin will grow up in the future, and neither of these two brothers-in-law will be able to help him. If you don't say it, it will drag you back..."

Yuan Jia finally understood Wang's thoughts: "You just think so much for Ye Xiangjin who is still breastfeeding?"

Wang Shi felt a little guilty, and said stubbornly: "What's wrong with this? If you marry a daughter-in-law, you should be in the right place."

Yuan Jia said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll trouble my mother to worry about Ye Yinyin's marriage, so don't worry about it."

He originally thought that the Wang family was too nervous about his son because his son was young and acquired it for many years. Even in the marriage of a pro-daughter and an adopted-daughter, they only consider whether it will benefit the son, not whether the son-in-law will be good to the daughter.

Yuan Jia directly took Ye Yinyin's marriage decision from Wang's hands and handed it over to Mrs. Ye.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

Zhang Yizhi's situation in Guozijian improved quickly after the Zhang family engaged in the Dingyuan Hou Mansion.

The students in the Guozijian are basically people in their families who are officials or have titles in their families. Those students from poor families are also famous, so the students of the Guozijian each form a group and are divided into two categories. One is those who have titles in their families. Or there are noble children who are officials, and one category is the children of the poor family.

Zhang Yizhi was quite embarrassed to be sandwiched between these two groups. He said that he was a child of the poor family, and his ancestors were also rich. When he entered the Guozijian, his grandfather was still alive, and he still had a title at home. He was considered a noble child. However, when his grandfather died, the title was lost and he became a commoner.

Therefore, Zhang Yizhi was not accepted by poor students, nor could he integrate into the circle of noble children. Both sides rejected and isolated him. If it wasn't for a tenacity that made him persist in studying hard, and wanted to enter the imperial examination and support the Zhang family, he would have been unable to endure the cold and violent withdrawal from school.

Now that Zhang Yizhi and Ye Mingzhu were engaged, and became the future uncle of Dingyuan Hou's mansion, the leader of the circle of Xungui's children took the initiative to show him goodwill and pull him into the circle.

Zhang Yizhi is honest, honest and arrogant, but he is not someone who doesn't know how to work around.

The other noble children knew that Zhang Yizhi had climbed up Gaozhi, and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was not something they could afford, so they took the initiative to show their affection to him. With him as the center, the two parties who had not met before also got along harmoniously.

However, Zhang Yizhi soon ran out of time to come to Guozijian.

Because Yuan Jia invited a famous gentleman to teach him alone.

Zhang's mother, Zhang's mother, and Zhang Yizhi are very grateful to Yuan Jia for helping him hire a famous teacher. This is something that the fallen Zhang family can't do, and it is also the help Zhang Yizhi needs most at present.

The township exam is about to take place, and Zhang Yizhi can pass the township exam to qualify as an official.

Of course, Zhang Yizhi wanted to pass the jinshi examination and become a jinshi and then enter an official position with a brighter future. If it was just to rank people and rely on the personal connections of the Dingyuanhou Mansion to become an official, they would be looked down upon by officials who had entered the official imperial examinations.

Since Yuan Jia has chosen Zhang Yizhi as his son-in-law, of course he has to hold Zhang Yizhi and let him be good to Ye Mingzhu for the rest of his life.

So he was very kind to Zhang Yizhi, helped to hire famous teachers, helped to prepare all kinds of materials needed for the township examination, and collected all the articles that the examiner of this township examination had done before and handed it over to Zhang Yizhi.

When Zhang Yizhi went to take the rural exam, Yuanjia also sent Butler Song to deliver him the necessary items for the exam. He prepared everything thoroughly and thoughtfully, which made Zhang Yizhi, who was inexperienced and unable to help, especially grateful.

On the way housekeeper Song sent Zhang Yizhi to the examination room, Zhang Yizhi said very gratefully, "Thank you housekeeper Song, and also ask housekeeper Song to convey his gratitude to Lord Hou."

Butler Song said with a smile: "Master Hou treats you so well, because sooner or later you will be the uncle of Hou's mansion. They say that a son-in-law is half a son-in-law. Master Hou loves the young lady, and you also love the house and Wu to Master Zhang."

Zhang Yizhi understood what Butler Song meant, and hurriedly assured him: "No matter what, the kindness of Lord Hou to the servants will be remembered by the servants. In the future... I will definitely live up to Miss Ye."

Butler Song said with a smile: "Master Zhang is grateful to Lord Hou, and Lord Hou doesn't need you to repay. If Master Zhang really wants to repay, he will be better to Miss after marriage, and Lord Hou will be very happy."

Zhang Yizhi secretly swore in his heart that he would never fail his fiancee.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

After the rural exam, the list was released. Zhang Yizhi's name was listed on the list. Although he was not in the top few, he was also ranked in the middle and upper reaches, and his grades were very good.

After Yuan Jia found out, he smiled slightly: "It's alright." Then he sent Butler Song to send a congratulatory gift to the Zhang family.

In the return gift given by Zhang Yizhi, private goods were entrained.

Yuan Jia looked at this sour love letter, and felt uneasy in her heart, "My little cabbage has been bullied by a pig, and I have to help the pig send a love letter to the little cabbage".

Zhang Yizhi is Ye Mingzhu's fiancé, and the two have already decided to get married. Yuan Jia wanted to stay with Ye Mingzhu for a few more years, so he made an agreement with Zhang's parents and Zhang's mother. After Zhang Yizhi finished the exam three years later, they would marry.

Three years later, Ye Mingzhu was just eighteen years old, and it was just right to remarry when she was an adult.

Zhang Yizhi will be twenty years old in three years, but since he has already made a marriage plan and is busy with the imperial examinations, getting married later will not delay anything.

Since there are still three years before they get married, Yuan Jia is not easy to stop the two from spreading letters and talking about love. Before marrying, he has an online relationship with his fiancé and cultivates the relationship, which is more conducive to the harmony and happiness of the couple after marriage.

So even if Yuan Jia was upset, he still passed the sour love letter written by Zhang Yizhi and the gift to Ye Mingzhu.

It was the first time that Ye Mingzhu received letters and gifts from her fiancé in private, and she was a little surprised. Then, a shy blush appeared on her face. She took the things and ran back to the house to hide.

Seeing her daughter's state of affairs, Yuan Jia could only sigh: "Actually, puppy love doesn't matter..."

If it weren't for the prevalence of early marriage and early childbearing in ancient society, Yuan Jiazhen would have wished to keep her daughter by her side for more than ten years before considering marriage.

If it wasn't for the good sons who were unwilling to join the family, Yuan Jia would have thought about letting Ye Mingzhu stay in the Hou residence to recruit the family.

It's just that the status of the son-in-law in ancient society is really low. If it is not really impossible, no man is willing to join the son-in-law. And those men who are willing to marry are crooked and unworthy of his daughter.

Yuan Jia just thought about it. If Ye Mingzhu was really raised as an old girl and couldn't marry, or if he recruited a new son-in-law, Ye Mingzhu would not necessarily feel happy.

Now he can only endure the sadness of his daughter's puppy love, and help her daughter and her fiance pass love letters and small gifts, so that they can cultivate their relationship well.

Yuan Jia focused his energy on official business and Ye Mingzhu's marriage, and spent the rest of his time with his young son.

He did not neglect his young son because he loved his daughter Ye Mingzhu, which is not conducive to the healthy growth of the child.

It was the cheap adopted daughter Ye Yinyin. He didn't pay much attention to it. He handed over Ye Yinyin's marriage to Mrs. Ye, and only waited for Mrs. Ye to decide on the candidate and told him that he would send someone to check the man's family situation and character.

In the end, he did not expect that he did not wait for Mrs. Ye to tell him the candidate of Ye Yinyin's husband-in-law, but waited for Ye Yinyin to drop a deep-sea bomb at the Hou residence.

The Ye family was overwhelmed by the explosion.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

Yuan Jia watched Ye Yinyin kneeling in front of Mrs. Ye, the three of them and Ye Yuanchen in the whole room, and Yuan Jia who had just been summoned by Mrs. Ye.

He looked at the angry look on Mrs. Ye's face, Ye Yuanchen sat next to him with a look of anger and daze, and then looked at Ye Yinyin's sad expression, silently weeping, and he knew something.

Yuan Jia bowed to Mrs. Ye and asked, "Mother, what happened?"

Madam Ye pointed at Ye Yinyin who was kneeling on the ground in front of her, and said with anger in her voice: "Ask this shameless white-eyed wolf!"

Yuan Jia looked at Ye Yinyin, but saw that Ye Yinyin was only looking at sadness and weeping without saying a word.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Madam Ye couldn't help but say, "She actually expressed her admiration for Yuan Chen today! He is her second uncle, how could she have undeserved feelings for her uncle?"

With an embarrassed look on Ye Yuanchen's face, he didn't dare to look at Ye Yinyin.

He was suddenly stopped by Ye Yinyin to make a private confession today, which scared him enough.

After Yuan Jia's beating hint, Ye Yuanchen always regarded Ye Yinyin as his own niece, and never thought about it too much, thinking that Ye Yinyin also regarded him as his uncle.

He thought that Ye Yinyin was a little uneasy and uncomfortable because his identity changed from his own daughter to an adopted daughter. Yuan Jia, the father, put his attention on Ye Mingzhu again, ignoring her, and she placed her reliance on his father on his uncle. .

In the end, I didn't expect that Ye Yinyin actually had a love for him between men and women...

Ye Yuanchen was suddenly confessed, and was the first to tell Mrs. Ye that this kind of thing was very serious. If it spread out, it would definitely be a scandal, because Ye Yinyin was the adopted daughter of Ye's family tree, and her name was Ye Yuanchen's niece.

Yuan Jia looked at Ye Yuanchen and asked, "So what about you Yuanchen? What do you think?"

Ye Yinyin looked at her sweetheart expectantly.

And Ye Yuanchen, who has no memory of his previous life, didn't fall in love with her at all in this life, he said without hesitation: "Brother, I just treat her as my own niece, and I don't think anything more than that."

There was a smile in Yuan Jia's eyes, and he nodded: "Okay, then you can go back first, this matter is treated as if it didn't happen, prepare well for the exam, and leave the rest to Big Brother."

It was worthwhile for him to vaccinate Ye Yuanchen in advance, and he successfully dismantled the official CP of the male and female protagonists.

Ye Yuanchen looked at Mrs. Ye, saw Mrs. Ye also nodded, got up and left here.

Ye Yinyin, who was shaken by Ye Yuanchen's words, froze in place, and when she saw Ye Yuanchen's back leaving the door, she came back to her senses and shouted: "Ye Yuanchen, do you really have no feelings for me at all? "

Ye Yuanchen stopped, without turning his head, and said lightly, "I just treat you as a niece." After speaking, he strode away from here.

Ye Yinyin watched his back disappear from sight, and finally couldn't help crying while covering her face.

She knew that this adopted daughter status was not worth it!

If, as in the previous life, she did not have this adopted daughter status, and she was not the real young lady of the Hou Mansion, and had nothing to do with the Ye family, then Ye Yuanchen would have liked her as he did in the previous life.

They will get married and he will love her for life...

Ye Yinyin murmured, "I should leave the Hou residence, I shouldn't stay and become the adopted daughter of the Hou residence..."

＜＜＜＜＜＜

Mrs. Ye looked at Ye Yinyin's obsessive appearance, her face was cold, and her eyes were full of disgust.

At first, she liked Ye Yinyin because Ye Yinyin was the daughter of her eldest son, and she devoted herself to it for 14 years. Even if Ye Yinyin's identity was revealed later, this love was only slightly diminished.

But now Ye Yinyin is actually making such a scandal, and it also involves her beloved young son, which Mrs. Ye can't tolerate.

The old lady Ye used to love Ye Yinyin so much, but now she hates it even more.

"Yuanjia, this girl must not stay."

Yuan Jia asked, "What does your mother mean?"

Madam Ye said, "Let her marry away, and never let her go back to the capital again."

Ye Yinyin looked up at Mrs. Ye, walked on her knees and hugged her leg, begging: "No, no! I beg my grandmother not to let me marry, I don't want to marry, I would rather enter the temple and live this life, not Willing to get married!"

If she can't marry Ye Yuanchen, she would rather never marry!

Madam Ye kicked her away in disgust and said, "This is not up to you!"

Seeing this, Yuan Jia said, "Mother, she has the second brother in her heart. Even if she is forced to marry away, she will not be honest. If she says something she shouldn't say after getting married, wouldn't it affect the second brother? reputation?"

Old Madam Ye's face changed slightly: "Then what should I do?"

Yuan Jia glanced at Ye Yinyin and said, "Since she doesn't want to get married, then she won't marry. It's unnecessary to send her to the family temple, it's easy to make people suspicious. It's better to send her to Zhuangzi, let's say she has a serious disease, Go to Zhuangzi to recuperate."

In the last life, Ye Mingzhu was forced to blacken, and then was sent to Zhuangzi by Ye Yuanchen and Ye Yinyin to fend for himself.

Now that Ye Yinyin is in this situation, let her go to Zhuangzi to fend for herself.

Ye Yinyin lay on the ground and raised her head to look at Mrs. Ye, since she couldn't marry Ye Yuanchen, she would never marry another man. So going to Zhuangzi to 'recuperate' was the best way for her.

Madam Ye pondered for a while, then nodded: "Okay, send someone to jail her."

Yuan Jia nodded slightly, then called the most trusted housekeeper Song, and asked him to take her to a village in the suburbs of Beijing on the grounds of sending Ye Yinyin to recover, and she was not allowed to leave the house for half a step.

After Ye Yinyin was taken away, Yuan Jia and Madam Ye were left in the room.

Madam Ye said angrily: "This is all a sin, what is this called? Ye Yinyin shouldn't have been left behind in the first place, she should have been sent back to her biological parents, and it's better to care what happens to her white-eyed wolf in the future than to be a calamity. Yuan Chen."

Yuan Jia suddenly suggested: "Mother, Yuan Chen is not too young. He said before that he wanted to concentrate on the imperial examinations and didn't want to marry a wife, but in February next year, he will take the exam and he will definitely be able to make a name for himself. Mother can be the prime minister of Yuan Chen. I'm optimistic about the candidate for my wife, and when the time comes when the gold list is inscribed, the wedding room will spend candle night, and two of the four great joys in life will be carried out at the same time, isn't it beautiful?"

Mrs. Ye was persuaded by Yuan Jia: "This statement is reasonable, I will go to see my wife for Yuan Chen!"

Madam Ye, who was busy with things, finally stopped complaining to Yuan Jia about Ye Yinyin, she was busy with her youngest son's life-long affairs.

Yuan Jia also plans to propose separation with Mrs. Ye after Ye Yuanchen gets married next year.
