When Chu Yu heard this, he frowned and said, "Are the second offering a little older?"

Cao Yong knew that after his wife returned to Beijing, she asked someone outside Xiqiu and asked, "There are any candidates outside?"

"I asked someone to inquire a few days ago, there were two candidates. One was the shopkeeper Cheng from the Gulou Shop in Daoxiang Village. He lost his wife and had a daughter, about the same age as Tianhui. It was time to talk about him. There was also a Juren Zhong, who was the uncle of his sister Zhong. He lived in Beijing and had a reputation as Juren. Now he was in the house of the Minister's Mansion. He was a few years older than Mr. Cheng. His wife died of illness and his two sons were working in farming and studying in his hometown. He had married a wife." Chu Yu said.

The former was the first time Cao Yong heard of, but the latter was the latter.

When Zhong Juren went to the Kaunke Department in Beijing, he sent his niece Zhong to Beijing. Cao Yong had met with him at Jiang Jian's wedding. He was not tall and spoke heavily, and he looked quite square.

He failed to win the imperial examination and did not return home, but stayed in Beijing. It seemed that he would wait for the exam next spring.

"Since Juren stayed in the capital, he had to wait for the exam. Since he wanted to go on a career, he would be more picky when getting married. This marriage was very inappropriate." Cao Yong said.

Chu Yu nodded and said, "I said so too. I just heard from Sister Zhong that although their family is passed down from the fragrance of books, their children are not very proficient in marriage. As long as they are innocent and have no punishment for relatives within three generations, they can worship the family temple. She has a brother, so she married a maid released by a wealthy family in the same hometown."

There is an old saying, "I would rather marry a maid than a girl from a small family."

Besides, Xiqiu, who is now discussing marriage, is not the maid of the Cao family, but Cao Yong's little teacher's wife.

If a scholar without help can use this relationship with the Cao family, he would be eager to marry Xiqiu.

Cao Yong was unwilling to maliciously speculate on people's hearts. Now he is not worried that Juren Zhong really has any bad plans because the two sides have too many disparities.

No matter whether the other party is sincere or wants to build a bridge, as long as you treat Xiqiu well, everything is easy to say; otherwise, Cao Yong will have the ability to make everything empty.

"Tomorrow you mention Xiqiu and see how she feels. If she wants to be decent, even if there is no Juren Zhong, please find a way for Mr. Song to find a way. If you want to live a stable life, it is good to Cheng Shangguan and the second tribute." Cao Yong said.

Although Mr. Song is already at home to support his old age, his disciples are all over the officialdom.

Not to mention a juren who has not been awarded an official position, it is not difficult to find a top candidate directly.

Chu Yu smiled and said, "With the master's support, I naturally find a way to match my second aunt's wishes. But I usually see her as a quiet and honest person, so I may not have any thoughts of wealth..."

There was nothing to say all night. The next day, Cao Yong went to the yamen as usual. Chu Yu first went to Lanyuan to invite An, and then took care of housework in Wutongyuan. It was almost noon, and he had time to take a little maid and sneaked to the rongyuan.

Tianhui was also here, and his aunt and nephew were working in the kitchen of Rongyuan. I heard that Chu Yu was here and brought the prepared food.

"Is this a milk cake?" Looking at the white and red milk pieces, Chu Yu smiled and pinched one, glanced at it, and said, "Is this a mixed wolfberry powder?"

Niu Niu smiled and said, "It's not wolfberry, it's ephedra. Hang Seng said that the milk food in Khalkha is mixed with more. Ephedra causes sweating and dispels cold, relieves lungs and relieves asthma. This is something to nourish the body in winter. With this, eat two pieces each time and only treats conditioning."

Ephedra is a common Chinese medicine. The mansion also prepares some Ephedra honey pills every year, which are prepared in winter.

Chu Yu gave the buns into his mouth, and the smell of milk was covered with the smell of medicine, but it was not obvious at all: "It's very soft and sweet, I want to meet the appetite of the old lady and the old lady."

Tianhui said: "Mother, this is made with milk skin and honey. If you want to eat chewy ones, you can not add those two."

Chu Yu nodded with a smile, looking at the plate of milk cakes, and said, "No matter how good the food is, it is still a medicinal material, so it is better to eat less. If you want to eat more milk, you can add more dried fruits and candied fruits to it."

Niu Niu and Tianhui agreed. Seeing that their aunt and nephew were still unsatisfied, Chu Yu sent them to go and talked to each other with Lianqiu and Xiqiu.

After a few gossips, it led to Xiqiu's marriage.

Although Xiqiu's face was flushed, she was not a big girl in yellow after all, so there was nothing to avoid. Chu Yu talked about three candidates.

Lianqiu fell in love with the shopkeeper Cheng and said, "This is an old man who is about the same age and has been using his wife for many years. He knows the truth. Even if he has a daughter, he still has to go out, which doesn't cause much trouble."

Xiqiu was a little hesitant when he heard this.

Seeing this, Lianqiu frowned and said, "Is it because my sister has not changed her original intention and is determined to think that scholars are good? You didn't hear your wife say that the juren will end next year. If you don't win, how could you still be willing to marry us? Even if this happens, it's probably to cling to the mansion. How can you be reliable in character?"

Although Chu Yu is still here, we have been together for more than ten years, and there is nothing to hide from.

Xiqiu shook her head quickly and said with a red face: "Sister misunderstood, but my sister didn't think that the juren is good..."

Lian Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you understand. Everyone is looking for someone for you, but I still hope you can live a peaceful life for the rest of your life. You are still young, finding a man of the same age and having two children will save you from living a lonely life."

Xiqiu pursed her lips, but she didn't nod or shook her head.

Lianqiu couldn't help but wonder, but Chu Yu saw something and said bluntly: "Can the second concubine didn't even like Cheng Shang's shopkeeper?"

Xiqiu blushed even more violently. She lowered her head and pressed her chin against her clothes.

Lianqiu changed his face, "I didn't like Juren Zhong, nor did I like the shopkeeper... Could it be that you chose two to worship him?"

Xiqiu lowered her head and whispered: "I followed my sister into the mansion at the age of fifteen. I have been in the mansion for seventeen years... I am a little afraid outside... I really don't want to leave this mansion..."

Lianqiu shook his head and said, "Even if that is the case, you don't have to choose the second offering. If you have this intention, you will tell me earlier that you will find someone in the mansion. Why bother with your wife and you will be troubled by looking for you outside?"

Xiqiu didn't say anything, but her eyes were red.

Chu Yu has always been understanding and naturally knows how to worry about Xiqiu.

Xiqiu's identity is considered half of Cao Yong's elders. How could he marry a servant of the Cao family? If he loses his superiority and inferiority, he will not look good in the future.

Although Cao Yi was a native of Cao's mansion, he was a worshiper and a good citizen, not a servant.

He has a high prestige, and he taught most of the guards in the mansion, and the Cao family respected him.

A major marriage event is related to the joy of cherishing autumn for the rest of his life.

The two sisters had different opinions, and Chu Yu couldn't say anything. He took the lead on the excuse of having housework and asked their sisters to discuss it themselves, and they were not in a hurry to do this or two days.

She was not in a hurry, but someone was anxious.

Cao Yong followed Hang Seng to Khalkha and other people, thanked everyone for their hard work. In addition to rewarding each of them, he also gave him half a month off.

Cao Yi didn't know how hard he was. He only took a day off and then appeared in front of Cao Yong again, leading someone to guard Cao Yong in and out.

Cao Yong advised him to take a break, but he patted his chest, saying that he had recovered and was not tired at all.

Then, he looked at Cao Yong with an expectant and eager look.

Cao Yong was uncomfortable being stared at by him, so he could only let Chu Yu urge him again. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, he would still give him a correct letter, otherwise Cao Yi would become a resentful man.

This time, there was finally a clear message.

"The aunt nodded... The second worshiper has a reputation, and she was worried, but Niu Niu came forward to persuade him... Niu Niu said that although the second worshiper is a little unruly, he is not bad at heart and likes to play with the children. Maybe he is in line with the second concubine..." Chu Yu said to Cao Yong with a smile.

Ever since his wife heard that the three people chose the second offering that Xiqiu liked, Cao Yong knew that this marriage would probably have a chance.

Even if Lianqiu is picky, it will ultimately depend on Xiqiu's thoughts.

"It's better to worship the second one. If you really marry outside, your life will be smooth. If your life is not smooth, it will still be a pity." Cao Yong was very satisfied with this result.

Although two of the three worshipers may not be the best husband's choice, unfortunately Qiu's choice simplifies her marriage and saves a lot of unpredictable trouble.

"Although I have a clear letter, I am afraid that the second worshiper will have to wait for a few days. The second aunt said that no matter what, she will have to wait until Niu Niu gets married before coming to her." Chu Yu said.

It was just half a year to wait. Since everything that wished was fulfilled, Cao Yi must be willing to wait.

As expected, when he heard that Xiqiu had to wait until Niu Niu got out of the house before remarrying, Cao Yi was not dissatisfied at all, but instead was a little happy and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, just make the marriage first."

Although Xiqiu remarried, it was Cao Yi's first marriage.

Although he didn't know this, he asked Zhang Yi and Cao Man and the other two, took out three hundred taels of silver, and prepared a decent betrothal gift when the local area prepared and asked someone to send it to Rongyuan.

Xiqiu sewed a piece of clothing and a pair of shoes and socks to repay the gift, and the marriage between the two was settled.

Although Cao Yi did not save any money in the Cao family, he also saved a few good things before entering Cao's mansion.

Now that we are going to get married, we naturally cannot wait for twenty taels of silver every month to prepare for the marriage.

In addition to two pieces of jewelry and betrothal gifts, there is also a pair of swords handed down from the previous dynasty and a jade belt.

He handed the sword and jade belt to Zhang Yi and asked him to take it off.

Zhang Yi did not take the things out of the mansion directly, but sent them to Cao Yong.
