Chapter 414: Both public and private are busy +6
For the sake of Ye Wei's married life and lifelong happiness, Li Shi withstood the pressure of public opinion from the outside world.
She thought, even if Ye Wei couldn't find a suitable one and wanted to stay at home for the rest of her life, then she and Ye Jinkui would really raise Ye Wei for the rest of her life.
Even if she and Ye Jinkui are gone one day, Ye Wei, as a titled and paid county head, will be guaranteed for the rest of her life.
Plus she also has sister Ye Anlan and brother Ye Song, with them two taking care of her, Li Shi doesn't have to worry about Ye Wei being bullied by anyone in the future.
What she doesn't know is that when she thinks about it and stops worrying, Ye Wei's marriage will automatically come to her door.
On the sixth day after she visited Ye Anlan's house, Shi Rong's aunt took her daughter to Ye's house.
According to the outside world, after she entered the capital, she picked a good day to come to visit her old friend, but in fact she was entrusted by her nephew to find out about Mrs. Li.
And the person she sniffed out was the little girl Ye Wei that Mrs. Li had been worrying about before.
At first, Mrs. Li thought that he would have misunderstood it. You must know that although Shi Rong's current identity is similar to that of the Ye family, his background cannot be compared with their Ye family.
Before Shi Rong's aunt came to ask her, Li Shi didn't even dare to put her daughter and Shi Rong together.
She patiently checked with Aunt Shi Rong again, and found that she did not have any misunderstandings. Shi Rong had indeed taken a fancy to her daughter Ye Wei, and Li Shi suddenly felt a little out of breath.
There was a pie falling from the sky, and it was such a big piece of pie that Li Shi felt that she was full and choked.
The last sliver of reason left in her mind kept her from doing something so unreserved as an immediate promise.
As usual, she made an appointment with Aunt Shi Rong to give a reply within three days.
Then, as soon as Aunt Shi Rong left, she immediately told the news to all the Ye family members including Ye Anlan.
Ye Anlan was very surprised by Shi Rong's move. She thought that after Xie Yuan ascended the throne, the other party, as a subject whom Xie Yuan admired and valued very much, would gradually distance herself from her, the old master. , and immediately entrusted my aunt to come to the Ye family to propose marriage.
She didn't say good or bad, but just told Ye Song a few words, asking him to have a frank talk with Shi Rong as Ye Wei's brother and Shi Rong's friend.
Ye Song is a doting sister, and he cares more about her sister's lifelong affairs than his own. After receiving Ye Anlan's instructions, he immediately sent someone to send a post to Shi Rong.
It is unknown to outsiders how the two of them chatted. Anyway, when Ye Song sobered up, the Ye family sent a letter back, agreeing to the Shi family's marriage.
But before the two marriages were settled, Ye Song endured the discomfort caused by the hangover and went to Ye Anlan's Duke's mansion in person.
He told Ye Anlan, "Shi Rong said that he admired his sister very much, and that he wanted to marry him out of his heart, so we don't have to worry about it. He also said that he agreed to the condition you mentioned, and he said that he had no intention of accepting a concubine in the first place. .”
Yes, Ye Anlan asked Ye Song to go to Shi Rong, in addition to asking him to ask whether Shi Rong's move was for an alliance or to please Ye Wei, and also asked him to help raise such a marriage proposal.
In this era when it is common for men to accept concubines and houses, and to seek flowers and ask willows, Ye Anlan has no way to ask every man to be the same to his wife, but at the very least, she hopes that the girls around her can be in their hearts. Get an equal love from your husband.
After Ye Wei's marriage was settled, Ye Anlan, who had already started a family alone, became the only one among the three daughters of the Ye family who was still in her boudoir.
In fact, Ye Anlan's marriage has been mentioned all the time, not only with Ye Jinkui and Li's parents, but also with the nobles in the palace, hoping that Xie Yuan and Xie Yuan's queen can give Ye Anlan and his children and grandchildren a gift. marriage.
A very small number of them found another way, and even approached Xie Yuan's grandmother and mother, hoping that the two generations of queen mothers could help them make a decree, referring to a single marriage.
However, what left these people speechless was that neither Ye Jinkui and Li's parents, nor the royal family including Xie Yuan, were willing to make decisions about Ye Anlan's marriage.
There are also other upstarts including Li Jing, Pei Huaiyu and others, and the marriages of these people are not less concerned.
Those who also belong to the family of nouveau riche want to form a strong alliance with a family of similar status to their own. The family of officials from the former dynasty that has been thrown far away by the big ship of the times urgently needs a daughter-in-law or daughter-in-law from a family of nouveau riche. son in law.
For a while, the matchmakers in the capital and the wives of various families who were old enough to be matchmakers almost broke their legs.
They are busy, and the upstarts who are the targets of their marriage are even more busy.
At the beginning of the new dynasty, there are simply too many things to do, and most of them are even more important than Mount Tai.
The autumn harvest is over, and the Hu people in the north have started a routine invasion again, and the imperial court has to continuously support the Dingbei Army to meet the military supplies.
Winter is coming, and the imperial court has to worry about whether the people under the rule who have managed to live a peaceful life have enough food to eat, whether they have enough clothes to wear, whether there is a house for them to live in temporarily, and even whether the house they live in temporarily is strong or not. Can't stand the heavy snow cover after winter.
It is the time when the old and the new are changing, and they have to plan early what they will do next year.
In addition to light taxation and exemption from corvee, they have to encourage the people to open up wasteland and vigorously develop agriculture by various means.
In addition, they had to assist the emperor to open the Enke to select talents; to establish a perfect system for women to be promoted through the imperial examination despite numerous criticisms, and to implement this system with the strong support of the emperor; to revise the law according to the emperor's instructions, Start to reform the social system from the root, and gradually change customs; rectify the administration of officials in the shortest possible time, clear up old cases, clean up cancerous tumors in various places, and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous age of Haiyan and Qinghe; organize people to arrest bandits and resettle refugees, Eliminate the unsafe factors in Daqi territory to the greatest extent.
These things are easy to say, but in practice, there is no doubt that everything is intricate and extremely exhausting.
Coupled with the fact that they are severely understaffed, Xie Yuan wished he could split them into four people.
So this group of members of the Xie family, who were already curly, not only failed to relax for the first time after the founding of Daqi, on the contrary, they became more serious and crazier than before.
