Chapter 556: Bad Love Comes
However, after this incident, Shen Youyou took Sister Erya and followed Grandpa Li back to Kyoto the next day.
The main thing is that she also realized that the man surnamed Huo was not someone who was easy to deal with.
But because of this, she could no longer hide the fact that she secretly took her sister to the singing club.
Not to mention that night, Grandpa Li, Uncle Fugui, and my brothers took turns nagging me.
When I returned to Tangjia Village, I was criticized by my parents.
The only thing she was thankful for at the moment was that her father was also at home when she came back this time.
Her father also said that this matter should only be known to these few people for the time being and not to be told to the clan anymore, as the girl is grown up and needs to maintain her reputation.
Otherwise, there would probably be more people criticizing her.
But as the new year came, both Shen Erya and Shen Youyou gradually regarded the previous bad peach blossom incident as a thing of the past.
Because Shen Zhiqiu said that from now on, not to mention Sister Erya, even she could not go to Zhigu anymore.
If there is anything you need, just arrange someone to go there. If the problem cannot be solved, Shen Zhiqiu will go there himself and will not let Shen Youyou go.
But in this first month of the year, there are quite a few families who are thinking about the girls from the Nine Clan.
Take the ninth day of the first lunar month, for example. The family of the county magistrate of Liang County was the local tyrant of Liang County. Although he was the county magistrate, even the county magistrate had to give them some face.
The most noteworthy thing about his family is not that he is the county magistrate, but that his family is rich.
Even the people gave his family a nickname: "Peng Bancheng"!
This means that half of the entire county belongs to them.
There is no need to tell you how rich he is. What we should say is that County Magistrate Peng is always thinking about Shen Youyou.
At this time, before going to sleep, he was lying in bed and muttering to his old wife: "The marriage of my eldest grandson should also be put on the agenda."
His wife said, "Yes, she is sixteen years old. We can get engaged this year and get married next year or the year after. I think the second daughter of our county magistrate is a good match."
Logically speaking, the legitimate daughter of the county magistrate and the legitimate grandson of the county magistrate can be said to be a perfect match.
But County Magistrate Peng disagreed for the first time.
Because he said to his wife, "In Tangjia Village, Fang County, I heard that Shen Zhiqiu's daughter is fourteen years old now, so she will be married next year when she reaches the age of marriage."
When her old wife heard her age, she was a little hesitant: "Isn't she a little young? I heard that Shen Zhiqiu treats his daughter like a treasure. I guess he doesn't want to let her get married before she reaches the age of 15."
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Peng said, "It was because he wanted to take his daughter as a stake that he chose his daughter. Besides, considering the current momentum of the Shen family, it would be fine even if they let their eldest grandson wait two years to get married."
"But they are fleeing from famine, and we don't know what kind of family they were in the past. In addition, at the beginning, the women in their family were selling things at the stalls and were in the limelight. I guess their daughter didn't learn any rules."
Obviously, the Jiuzu people felt that Shen Youyou was good in every aspect, but in ancient times, especially for people with a certain status,
With a background like Shen Youyou's, she actually has a lot of shortcomings.
But Lord Peng still has a different opinion. In the several counties surrounding Kyoto, who doesn't know about the Nine Clans and Shen Zhiqiu?
Not to mention that they have a plaque, just their supermarket is so busy every day that people have to line up in advance to buy things, listen to operas, and listen to storytelling.
"Rules and such are not the most important thing. You can just wait until she gets in and then slowly teach her. Anyway, the two of us, these old bones, can still hold on for a few more years.
The main reason is that he married his daughter, so he can use her as a leverage. The news from the court before said that Shen Zhiqiu would be promoted after the war was stabilized.
The method of intercropping corn and soybeans that was previously announced by the county government was also contributed by their family.”
But Mrs. Peng was still thinking about having a great-grandson soon, so she gave some advice: "Master, isn't the daughter of Brother Shen Zhiqiu's family celebrated the 16th day of the Chinese New Year? She can get married right away, or..."
As a result, when he was halfway through his words, County Magistrate Peng suddenly sat up, a little angrily: "Bullshit! His elder brother is his elder brother, he is him, how can his daughter be the same as his elder brother's daughter?
I am the eldest grandson in our family and will be the head of the family in the future, so I must be more cautious about marriage."
A few days later, at the home of the magistrate of An County.
The most favored concubine Sun angrily smashed the porcelain all over the floor. The nanny next to her couldn't stop her. The little maids were even more silent, not daring to make a sound, for fear of accidentally bumping into her.
"Why? It must be that bitch who bewitched the master and forced my brother Rong to marry a peasant girl."
The nanny could only persuade earnestly: "Hey, my aunt, isn't their family still an imperial merchant? At least the family is not short of money, you have to look at the bright side."
After hearing this, Aunt Sun became even more angry: "Bullshit, they are refugees, they just opened a supermarket, how long has it been open? And there are so many old people living together, how much can they spend?
If I can give her daughter five thousand taels of silver by then, that would be quite good."
The main reason why Aunt Sun was even more angry was that she thought that the bitch in the main wife's house was just trying to humiliate her son. Even if her son was a concubine's son, he was still a legitimate master who had been raised in luxury since childhood.
Why did she find a peasant girl who had escaped the famine for her son? I heard she still worked in the fields and was very rough.
When that hand is stretched out, it will be even worse than the little maid beside her. How can she be worthy of worshipping heaven and earth with her son?
Besides, her son was a bastard, and she had always wanted to marry a girl from a high-class family to raise his status.
At the same time, the wife of the magistrate of An County was not in a very good mood because the news she knew was more accurate.
The master said it himself, he wanted his eldest son to marry the daughter of the Shen family.
The magistrate of An County was not a fool. Especially since he had a good relationship with Tang Yanli, he naturally knew that Shen Zhiqiu was not good at treating his daughter well.
He even knew more details than others, and he wrote many letters to Tang Yanli about this matter.
In fact, Tang Yanli felt that he was a little wishful thinking. As Tang Yanli said to his wife privately:
"I didn't even dare to tell our son about Miss Shen, but he still thought about her. He has a really big heart."
But since they were all colleagues, it was too embarrassing to say anything unpleasant directly, so he could only write down what he knew, that Shen Zhiqiu doted on his daughter very much, in more detail, so that the magistrate of An County would give up.
But the magistrate of An County seemed not to understand what Tang Yanli meant.
So this led him to think in the wrong way. He believed that if he wanted to marry the daughter of the Shen family, he had to have a legitimate son. He could not even mention a illegitimate son. That would not be a marriage, but an enmity.
So what he was talking about was the second legitimate son, because the eldest legitimate son was already married.
The wife of the magistrate of An County also knew more details than Aunt Sun.
I also know that Shen Zhiqiu's family is not an ordinary farming family, and they are not businessmen.
She also knew a little inside information. Their master had clearly told her that although she didn't know the situation of the supermarkets in other counties and Shuntian Prefecture, this supermarket in An County was under the name of Shen Zhiqiu's daughter, Shen Youyou.
In other words, it is very likely that this was one of the dowries.
