Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

With a sullen face, Zhao Qing shifted his eyes from side to side, and asked guiltily, "Which aspect do you want to hear?"

Zhao Ning stared, slapped the table and shouted, "Everything! Tell me from the beginning!"

Zhao Qing drooped his head, and after a moment of dejection said, "You didn't go back last year for the New Year..."

Zhao Ning and Yan Yuanniang were engaged since they were young, and the relationship between the two families is very good.

Yan Yuanniang's grandfather and Grandpa Zhao were classmates. They had similar interests and family backgrounds. The key was that the two families could live together, and there was a village in between.

Because Mr. Yan was two years older than Mr. Zhao and was stronger, he often protected Mr. Zhao who was short and in poor health in the private school, and the friendship between the two was established.

Mr. Zhao spent his whole life studying without gaining anything, but Mr. Yan was admitted as a scholar at the age of 32. Although he has not been able to make further progress until now, he is much better than Mr. Zhao.

The wonderful thing is that Mr. Zhao and Mr. Yan both love to read, but their sons don’t like to read. They are all focused on farming. They feel that father’s reading is a waste of food for the family, and he can’t even support his wife and children.

Therefore, the flower of friendship between the two families also blossomed between Mr. Zhao and Mr. Yan. Mr. Yan was over forty years old, and after taking the provincial examination three times, he found that he still could not pass the exam. The family set up a school to teach children in several nearby villages how to read and write, and also added an income to the family.

After all, Mr. Yan is not as capable as Mr. Zhao. He only knows how to farm. In order to support Mr. Yan to study, the land of more than 100 mu has been reduced to 20 mu. stop.

Regardless of whether it was for his son or his granddaughter, Mr. Yan began to subconsciously save money to buy land, wanting to accumulate more capital and find a future son-in-law for his granddaughter.

The clever and lively little Zhao Ning caught his eyes, so he went to find his old friend.

Mr. Zhao saw that he was an old friend, then squinted his eyes for a while and looked at the red-faced little Yuan Niang, without asking his son and daughter-in-law, he immediately agreed.

At that time, although the family background of the Yan family was not as good as that of the Zhao family, Mr. Yan was a scholar, the only one in a nearby village. Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao who had let their son go to school were also very satisfied with this marriage, so The two families formally exchanged tokens, and the marriage was settled.

Later, little Zhao Ning was sent to Yan's house by his grandfather to study. After all, Grandpa Yan was a little more capable than Grandpa Zhao on the way to study.

Grandpa Yan is also very concerned about little Zhao Ning, after all, he is his future grandson-in-law, and Zhao Ning and Yuan Niang are childhood sweethearts.

Originally, the two families decided that Yuanniang and Jihou would get married, but unfortunately, the old lady of the Yan family went west just after the wedding date was set, and Yuanniang had to observe filial piety for three years.

It happened to be the second year when Zhao Ning brought Gu Jingyun and the others back to Huizhou. Yuan Niang passed away in June last year, but there was no news from the Zhao family, and the Yan family couldn't help but panic.

Villagers in several nearby villages said that the Zhao family's ancestor's grave was full of smoke, and that he was about to prosper. His son passed the Juren exam at a young age, and now he is still in Beijing to catch the exam.

Although when the news came back last year, they knew that Zhao Ning Chunwei didn't win the exam, but it didn't matter, he was still young, and he won the Juren just before reaching the crown. It's true that you can't pass the Jinshi examination all your life, and you can be an official even if you are a Juren.

Therefore, those who knew that Zhao Ning was not married had three points of interest, and the matchmaker stepped through the threshold of the Zhao family.

But Zhao Ning is engaged!

This news repelled a large group of people like a bolt from the blue, but there was still a group of people who didn't care.

Marrying a wife can still divorce her, let alone he hasn't married yet.

Therefore, those whose family background was higher than that of the Yan family all hinted that the Zhao family would retire and make another decision. Two of them were officials in the court who valued Zhao Ning's potential, and one was a big businessman. Shan Zi can bury the Zhao family.

Zhao Qing whispered: "The family wanted to wait for you to go home for the New Year to discuss this matter, who knew you didn't go home, the three families were pressing hard, and the Yan family also sent people to inquire from time to time, and the little great-grandfather passed it out of anxiety. I fell ill after a year."

Zhao Ning's face sank like water, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who in the family is excited?"

Zhao Qing was too cowardly to speak.

Zhao Ning slapped the table fiercely, and Zhao Qing immediately jumped out like beans and said, "Anyway, my little great-grandfather and third-uncle definitely won't agree, and my great-grandfather also said that you can't be ungrateful. In fact, not many people in the family have such intentions, but those who People came too frequently, even if they refused, they also came to visit one after another, and gossip inevitably spread..."

Education in the Southwest is already backward, especially in Huizhou, which is a poor place. Before Zhao Ning failed the exam in ten villages in one mile, there were only two scholars, and one was Mr. Yan.

Zhao Ning is the youngest Juren in Huizhou. If he is not engaged, even the county magistrate wants to marry him.

So he is an eye-catching person, and since he was elected, there have been various speculations. Everyone is guessing whether their family will dissolve the engagement with the Yan family and when.

And after the matchmaker started visiting the Zhao family, this kind of discussion reached its peak. Although everyone didn't say anything, most of them felt that the Zhao family would definitely regret their marriage.

Zhao Qing glanced at Zhao Ning's face, and said in a low voice: "The discussion is together, and the little great-grandfather asked his uncle to go to Yan's house to appease him, and made it clear that he would reconsider the marriage date when Yan's family was filial piety. At that time, my uncle and grandmother should really like the third aunt. Yes, only later..."

Zhao Qing faltered and said nothing.

"It's just that the people who came to the door later became more and more famous, so my mother was moved?" Zhao Ning asked blankly.

"Actually, I don't blame the uncle and grandma. Not only the uncle, but also the second great-grandmother and some uncles and aunts are all moved..." The Zhao family suddenly entered another class, just like the newly rich family. Zhao Ning has repeatedly warned them to keep a low profile, but they still can't help but eagerly want to break into that class and fight for more resources for the family and Zhao Ning.

At that time, the Zhao family was divided into three factions. One faction felt that the matter had nothing to do with them, and the other faction advocated a more helpful marriage for Zhao Ning, while the other faction insisted on keeping their promise and marrying the Yan family.

Among them, the third faction is too powerful, because it includes the Zhao family's parents who have the right to speak, the three grandfathers, and most of the uncles who are of the same generation as Master Zhao insist on marrying the Yan family.

Therefore, the two opposing factions did not fight at all because of the huge difference in strength. It's just that differences of opinion in the family inevitably make people feel impetuous, and Mr. Zhao is getting older, so the family life was very difficult during that time.

And the Zhao family originally planned to wait for Zhao Ning to come home to celebrate the New Year and bring up his marriage, so that he could marry Yuan Niang as soon as possible. Who knew that Zhao Ning followed his husband to Yazhou, which was too far away from Huizhou, and he couldn't go back for years. .

There is no way, the marriage can only be delayed.

Mrs. Zhao originally wanted to write a letter asking Zhao Ning to come back and get married after the new year, but Mrs. Zhao refused. She thought it was difficult enough for her son to study and take the imperial examination, so how could he let these trivial matters bother him?

How much time does it take Zhao Ning to go back and forth?

Mr. Zhao has become obsessed with the imperial examination, he hesitated when he heard the words, who would have thought that during the Chinese New Year everyone gave gifts to each other, the three families brought several cartloads of gifts to the Zhao family.

At that time, Mrs. Zhao took Mr. Zhao to Yan's house to discuss the marriage of the two families. When he came back, he found out that Mrs. Zhao had accepted the gift, and he passed out of anger immediately.

Although the three families often gave gifts to the Zhao family, the Zhao family refused them stubbornly. Even if they had to accept them, they would make up for it afterwards, so as not to let people have any gossip.

And this time the three families sent such generous gifts, the daughter-in-law accepted them all without asking, isn't the meaning obvious enough?

Mr. Zhao fell ill on the bed after waking up, holding Mr. Zhao's hand and crying, so angry that Mr. Zhao took the matchmaker to Yan's house the next day to set the wedding date.

It's scheduled for September this year.

Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she went back to her natal family, and did not stay at Zhao's house for years.

But Grandpa Zhao didn't wake up from the illness, and he didn't know whether it was depression or cold, and he was too heavy to get out of bed just after the new year, and everyone was so frightened that no one dared to mention Zhao Ning's marriage.

Mrs. Zhao also ran back honestly. It is one thing to regret the marriage for the sake of her son's future, but it is another thing to be mad at her father-in-law.

If something happened to her father-in-law, not only her husband, but even her son would not forgive her, so Mrs. Zhao went home to serve the sick with a low eyebrow.

Mr. Zhao endured for two months, and his illness continued intermittently. The family was hesitating whether to write a letter to let Zhao Ning come back. Mr. Zhao issued a death order. No one was allowed to write to Zhao Ning. If he wrote a letter, he would go on a hunger strike. Cover with a quilt.

No one doubted what the old man said, and everyone unanimously kept it from Zhao Ning.

Then Grandpa Zhao suggested that he would never recover from his illness, and he wanted to see his grandson-in-law come in, otherwise he would not be able to rest in peace when he died.

Mr. Zhao took his two brothers' hands and cried in front of everyone in the Zhao family, letting his son fulfill his wish.

Everyone is silent, let Zhao Ning come back, you are the one who disagrees, and you are the one who made Zhao Ning get married, what are you going to do?

Knowing father Mo Ruozi, Mr. Zhao just silently glanced at his father when he heard the words. The next day, he invited two respected old people in the village, and brought his two uncles to Yan's house, and knelt down and begged Mr. Yan to marry his granddaughter in advance. to his son.

Grandpa Zhao wanted to be close to the Yan family, but he was reluctant to let Zhao Ning waste his study time and go home, so he had to let Yuanniang marry in alone.

This was naturally aggrieved to Yuan Niang, but Mr. Zhao handled things beautifully, and lowered his posture in front of all the villagers from all over the world.

The Yan family was at a disadvantage in this marriage. They were afraid of Qi Dafei at first, but Mr. Zhao lowered his posture and showed that the Yan family was very kind to the Zhao family. With the attitude of confessing, the Yan family happily agreed.

Because others don't know, Master Zhao and Mr. Yan do know, Mr. Zhao's illness is not serious at all, he just looks at it now, and he's already healed inside!
