Chapter 467: marriage
After this banquet, Wen Xizhou's reputation increased again, and those who wanted to marry him all asked Madam Hou.
Mrs. Hou was proud and happy, saying that "a family has a daughter and a hundred families ask for it", and the same is true for her grandson. Look at this family, the family of civil servants, the family of military generals, the family of the clan, and the family of honored nobles. If you take any one out and put it outside, you will have to fight for your head.
The eldest grandson has such a long face!
Mrs. Hou was almost distracted, so she called her beloved grandson over, "You are not young anymore, the marriages of your age in Beijing have been settled, and your parents are not around, your grandmother is indispensable for the wedding." Help me worry. Zhouzhou, tell grandma what kind of girl you like? Grandma will pick a good one for you."
She looked at her grandson with a smile, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became. I think the third child was also like this back then, with good knowledge and good looks, but his personality was too weird, with a cold face all day long, as if someone owed him a lot of money. If you say ten sentences to him, he may not be able to answer you one sentence. Otherwise, the words can choke to death...
Well, I won't mention it, I won't mention it, it's better to be the eldest grandson, he is no worse than his father in appearance and knowledge, he has a good temper, and he respects her grandmother even more.
However, she was quickly slapped in the face.
"Grandmother, grandson is still young, so don't worry about getting married." When Wen Xizhou came over, he brought a small cold melon. The cold melon grown in the shed is ripe, so grandma tastes it."
Madam Hou was really happy that her grandson was so filial. She took a bite and nodded slightly, "It's very sweet." But she said: "That's all, just show respect to your grandfather, and send me here."
Wen Xizhou smiled, "Grandpa is very close, there are still some in the flower shed, the old man wants to eat it in a few days. In the past, grandson has not been able to be filial by your side for many years, so why don't you show more filial piety to you now?"
If Wen Xizhou wanted to coax someone, it would be very easy. He was raised by Yu Zhi when he was a child, and he would open his mouth to say nice things, the key depends on whether he is willing to put his mind to it.
Obviously, now he is willing to bother. After coaxing grandma well, when father and mother return to Beijing in the future, I hope grandma will be more lenient to mother for the sake of his filial piety.
"My good grandson is filial piety." Mrs. Hou's heart is as sweet as eating honey, and she looks at her grandson lovingly, "I'm fourteen, how young is he? The girl who is even late is picked out. Let's look at it first." , make a decision, wait a year or two before marrying."
Wen Xizhou said: "When I was young, my father asked someone to calculate it for me, saying that I should not get married early, at least I must be over eighteen years old."
Madam Hou was surprised, "Is there such a thing?"
Wen Xizhou nodded, "I'm looking for the master abbot of Huguo Temple. The master said that my red luan star moves late, and those before the age of eighteen are not good peach blossoms. At least it will hinder my official career, and at worst it will hurt my relatives."
Master Abbot of Huguo Temple: When did the poor monk approve your order? Both of you father and son pinned the blame on the poor monk, too much!
The smile on Madam Hou's face is gone, eighteen? There are still four more years, and Mrs. Hou feels very sorry. But I also know that the abbot of Huguo Temple is an eminent monk, so what he says must be believed.
She pondered for a while, and said: "Then wait a little longer. You don't have to be late for a good meal. You first tell me what kind of girl you like, and grandma will help you look after it. We will make a decision when you turn eighteen."
"Then I would like to thank grandma." Wen Xizhou said with sincerity on his face, "Although you marry a wife and a virtuous person, you must not be ugly in appearance, otherwise it will affect the next generation. Besides, your grandson was born with a good-looking talent. Didn't you wrong your grandson?"
Mrs. Hou was amused, "Okay, grandma knows, I'll pick you a beautiful one." Then she joked, "You're just like your father, it's all about face." She still thinks that Yu Zhi relied on that The face bewitched her most promising son.
Forget it, the eldest grandson is already this old, so Mrs. Yu... She pinched her nose and recognized it. Don't know what to do, the third child is so determined, how can she be his home? Yu's daughter-in-law is not without some merits, at least the eldest grandson she gave birth to is good-looking.
"Subclass father." Wen Xizhou smiled, and continued: "A man must be smart, and whether his son is smart or not depends on his mother. So you can't marry a stupid wife, or you will give birth to a litter of stupid sons, and I will be very worried. "
Madam Hou nodded, "Be smart, this will do."
"You can't be too weak. If you're too weak, you won't be able to stand up. The backyard is a mess, and your grandson will be held back. I'm afraid your grandson won't be able to go far in his official career. Of course, you shouldn't be too strong. If you are too strong, you will look bitter and mean." , grandson doesn’t like it.”
"That makes sense." Madam Hou nodded again, wondering whose girl was neither timid nor pushy, but gradually she couldn't laugh.
Beautiful, smart, neither too weak nor too strong, that's all. The eldest grandson also asked the girl to love to talk and laugh, to understand the law and understand history books, and even asked the girl's family.
If the family population is simple and clean, with loving parents, it is best to have no concubines or concubine brothers and sisters in the family. If there are, I hope there will be no more than two. Those who spoil concubines and destroy wives will not do...
This, this... don't talk about high-ranking families, even ordinary merchants have concubines in their homes, okay? Grandson's request is too strict!
That's it, her grandson hasn't finished talking yet, looking at the elder grandson who said the same thing with a serious face, Mrs. Hou is in a bad mood.
She was wrong, the son is like the father, how is the eldest grandson's temper good? This picky problem is clearly the same as his father's.
Wen Xizhou broke off ten fingers twice, and finally finished speaking, "...Let's do this first, grandma, and you can help your grandson choose like this. Thanks for your hard work!"
Madam Hou...
She can't pick it like this.
After her grandson resigned, Mrs. Hou thought about it carefully, and suddenly found that the requests her grandson said were based on his mother?
Can't help but see a black eye, this terrible grandson...
