My name is Zhao Yuezhu, I am twenty years old this year.
Since I was fourteen years old, my neighbors have been eyeing me, and each of them wants me to be their daughter-in-law.
But because of all kinds of obstacles from my family, I became a famous old girl in Dahe Prefecture. This delay made me reach the age of twenty.
"Zhuzhu, why are you still dawdling? Get up quickly and dress up and change clothes!"
The person speaking loudly at the door is my mother.
My mother's maiden name is Wu Huiniang. She was a gentle woman more than ten years ago, but since she gave birth to three of us siblings, her temper has gradually become violent.
In the eyes of outsiders, my mother is a very capable housewife who takes care of everything in an orderly manner.
But for us three siblings, when my mother yells, we tremble.
Even if I am a bride today, I still have to succumb to my mother’s power...
I cried and got up from the bed and sat in front of the dressing mirror.
"Zhao Dashan, why did you go to the ground and didn't even look at what day it was!" Through the window, I saw my mother grabbing my father's ears and yelling, "There are all the dicks outside, you..." As a dad, don’t worry about anything, just change your clothes and go get busy, the guests will all be here in a minute!”
My father covered his ears and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I'll go change my clothes."
I couldn't help but burst into laughter.
After all, my father is also a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Household Affairs. He stayed in Dahe Prefecture before going to the capital to take up a post. He is at the same level as the prefect.
Who would have thought that my father, a fourth-grade official, would be henpecked?
Of course, no one would have thought that my mother, a seemingly gentle and gentle woman, could be so fierce.
"Zhen Zhen, your sister is married, why are you still sleeping in?"
"Haohao, get up. If you continue to snooze, I'll whip you!"
Look, my mother started to attack my sister and brother again.
But my brother and sister are really naughty.
Little Zhenzhen is a glutton, a hundred times more gluttonous than me, and she is as fat as a ball.
Little Haohao was the only son that my mother finally gave birth to. He was in poor health when he was a child and had some eccentric pain. As a result, he developed the temperament of a devil. So my mother became fierce and beat Haohao to death whenever he disobeyed. ...After so many years of hard education, Hao Hao, this dead kid, has finally made some progress. However, he is still not good at reading and always likes to engage in heresy, which is one of the cancers in our family.
Another cancerous tumor is Chenchen from the second uncle's family.
My second uncle is Zhao Jingcheng and my second aunt is Cao Yingying. They also have three children. The eldest is Chenchen, who is slightly younger than me.
Chenchen was quite cute when he was a child. He would follow me around and yell at me all day long. I learned medicine from Grandma Ma, but he insisted on inserting a pole horizontally. As a result, he poured a jar of medicine into the lotus pond. All the fish in the pond were poisoned... My grandma doesn't get angry easily, and she won't even hit the child. That time she was so angry that she almost beat up Chenchen.
The youngest son of the second uncle and second aunt's family, Chenchen's younger brother, is considered the best-educated child of his generation. He will take the provincial examination next year and will pass the exam as expected.
But it doesn't matter if he fails to pass the exam. His second uncle is an imperial businessman. Over the years, he has expanded the business founded by Ah Nai to all over the world. Speaking of the richest man in Dayu, everyone knows that it is Zhao Jingcheng.
The second uncle has too much property in his name, and there are so many children in the family that one person can't even divide it all. If he can't pass the imperial examination, he should come back and inherit the family business.
I also have a third uncle named Zhao Jingyu and a third aunt named Ruan Mingzhu.
But my three uncles and my aunt live in the capital, so I go to the capital with my grandma every year to see them.
Third Aunt's nickname is exactly the same as mine. I like Third Aunt very much. Every time I go to the capital, Third Aunt teaches me horse riding and archery. My riding skills are particularly good.
Let me tell you a funny thing. The third aunt's mother gave birth to five sons in a row before she had the third aunt. The third aunt also gave birth to five sons at one time, but she couldn't get pregnant with the sixth one. Mr. Taoist said that the third uncle and the third aunt were destined to be pregnant. I have no daughter, so my third aunt treats me as her own daughter.
My fourth uncle is also in the capital. He was the number one scholar at that time and is now the second-rank minister. My fourth aunt is Yu Jiao, the daughter of the famous Yu Fuzi Dongliu layman in the country.
Many, many years ago, my fourth aunt's father, Master Yu, was despised by thousands of people. Later, Dahe Academy became famous after several battles. With the efforts of hundreds of students, Master Yu's reputation was cleared and he became a Dongliu layman respected and looked up to by everyone. …
It is worth mentioning that my fourth uncle and my fourth aunt gave birth to two sets of twins, who looked exactly the same. I rarely saw my twin brothers and sisters, and I always admitted my mistake.
I forgot to mention that I also have a cousin named Cheng Zhao, who is also a high official in the capital and is a popular person around His Highness the Crown Prince.
My grandma used to have a godson named Shen Zheng. I call him Uncle Zheng. Uncle Zheng is also very powerful. Now he is a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Personnel. Every day, he deals with the most vicious and evil people...
Because many members of our family are in Beijing, my wedding banquet was originally planned to be held in Beijing.
However, my great-grandfather and great-aunt were too old to travel to the capital for a wedding banquet, so they held the wedding ceremony in Dahe Prefecture.
Just as I was thinking about my great-grandpa and great-grandma, the two old people came over.
I didn't even bother dressing up. I picked up my skirt and walked out of the bedroom to greet him: "Grandpa, grandma!"
"Oh, our Zhuzhu is so beautiful today." My great-grandmother held my hand, her face full of love, "If you weren't getting older, I would really not want to marry you off so early. .”
I:"……"
At the age of twenty, an old girl from all over the country will be in trouble if she doesn't get married.
"Isn't that right?" Grandpa sighed, "That boy is good-looking, but his health is really bad. How can he protect Zhuzhu in the future?"
I quickly said: "Lin Ye's illness has been cured and his health is not bad. Besides, I know kung fu and don't need him to protect me."
My future husband's name is Lin Ye, and he is the third son of the Lin family in Beijing. Because he was in poor health since childhood, he was sent to Dahe Prefecture to recuperate.
Our town in Dahe has beautiful mountains, water, and beautiful scenery. He has been raised here for seven or eight years, and his health has gradually improved. Of course, it is also due to my contribution.
I studied medicine with Grandma Ma and used him as my training partner. He was very cooperative. In the end, his illness was cured and my medical skills improved. It was like killing two birds with one stone.
Just as he was talking, the second uncle and the third uncle walked in from the courtyard door.
"Zhuzhu is finally getting married."
"No, I'm twenty. I really can't get married any later."
"Don't say this. My sister-in-law said it's not too late for a girl to get married at thirty, otherwise why would she have kept Zhuzhu for so many years?"
Everyone talked and it was lively.
My second uncle's name is Zhao Youyin, and my second uncle's surname is Wen. They are both honest people. They have four children in their family.
The eldest is Uncle Dawang, who married a girl from the Wang family in the village. Now the couple helps manage all the Dahe Banquet industry in Yun Province.
The second oldest is Aunt Xia Hua. Aunt Xia Hua is married to a businessman and runs a garment business with my second aunt Cao's family. This business is getting bigger and bigger now. It is not an exaggeration to say that we are making a fortune every day.
The third child is Uncle Erwang. Uncle Erwang was pretty good at school. He passed the examination at the age of twenty and then entered the Xiaoqin University Hall for further study. Although he did not enter the Honglu Temple as an official, he became the Xiaoqin University Hall. A gentleman is responsible for teaching students some foreign language knowledge.
The fourth child is Aunt Qiuhua. Aunt Qiuhua married the legitimate son of a seventh-rank official family in Huzhou and is now the head wife.
Let’s talk about my third uncle’s family.
My third uncle's name is Zhao Youcai, and my third uncle's surname is Sun. When she was young, my third uncle had an unpleasant temper. Over the years, life at home has become better, and her temper has gradually improved.
The third uncle and the third uncle have three children in total.
The eldest is Aunt Chunhua, who is married to Uncle Zheng’s scholar Shen Afu. They and Grandpa run a carpentry shop together. Now this carpentry shop has opened in all major prefectures in Yun Province, and is planning to open it in the capital next.
The second child is Aunt Donghua. Like me, Aunt Donghua is very greedy and loves to eat. When she was very young, she opened several drink shops, saved herself a dowry of nearly ten thousand taels of silver, and married someone in the capital. Li family.
The third child is Zhao Mingxuan. Why don’t I call him Uncle Mingxuan? Because this guy is younger than me. He always followed me and called me sister since he was a child. When he grew up, he insisted that I call him uncle. I am used to being my sister. , I won’t treat her as his niece.
Speaking of this guy, I really couldn’t finish it for three days and three nights.
