    "It is true that the honor circle is a bit unsightly. You made the right choice. However, I have to send someone to investigate further about that person. If there is no problem, I will send someone to inform you. Then you can get engaged and get married first.  Let's wait a little longer for two years.

    In the past two years, Min'er has been allowed to learn more things at home, whether it's housekeeping or shop management skills such as reading account books.

    What¡¯s going on over there, Wen¡¯er?

    Which girl do you like?  "

    Qiao Mu knew very well that it was a good choice to find a Qingliu at this time. Although these Qingliu were relatively poor and pedantic, at least they would not mess around, and their family style was also upright. Compared with mothers who personally gave concubines to their sons,  Xungui and his maid are already much better.

    ¡°Don¡¯t talk about this time, even in the era when monogamy is explicitly stipulated, it is very difficult to find a single-minded partner, and most people just make do with each other.

    Love is too luxurious.

    Let¡¯s just make do with it, it¡¯s fine.

    Therefore, Qiao Mu didn¡¯t delve too deeply into whether she loved him or not. After asking about the person Wen Yunmin was seeing, he immediately asked about Wen Yunwen.

    "Mother-in-law, the person I have chosen for Wen'er is the second young lady of the Kong family. Although she is not a legitimate daughter, her education is excellent. She is also proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics. I think Wen'er and I should have something in common. No.  As for meeting, there is nothing to say."

    Ms. Xiao is very satisfied with her ability to connect with the Kong family. Needless to say, the status of the Kong family, and the benefits of marrying such a thousand-year-old family, are definitely beneficial to future generations.

    However, Qiao Mu quickly opened his eyes: "Kong family?

    No¡­¡­

    "This is just what you think about. The Kong family has always looked down on noble families like us, and even other aristocratic families that have been around less than theirs. How could they agree?  "

    At first, Qiao Mu wanted to stop her quickly, but then she thought that the Kong family was not a family that could get married if they wanted to. Although her grandson was not a mediocre person, he was indeed not a genius. He finally became a scholar, but he was still at the bottom.  First place is expected to be very high in the future. The most important thing is that if her family has not been demoted for three generations, her son's generation will have reached the top. It will be good if her grandson can get the title of a first-class general later.  The Kong family probably didn't like the title of Xutou, so they asked calmly.

    "I haven't proposed marriage yet, but isn't the daughter of the Kong family also marrying a distinguished noble this time? She married the eldest son of the Duke of Jingguo. Why can't their concubine? Besides, their concubine can't go beyond that no matter what.  Their legitimate daughter!

    I think the hope is quite high.  "

    As expected, the matter was not discussed, it was just that Xiao had such an idea. As for whether this idea was practical or not, and whether the other party was willing or not, it was still unknown.

    Hearing this, Qiao Mu breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to have anything to do with a family like the Kong family. If the Kong family hadn't had the memorial tablet of the Holy Master in these years, their reputation would have been bad. They were in Qufu.  Bian is simply a local emperor. Even the county magistrate there is hereditary in his family. You can imagine how arrogant he is.

    It is never wrong that power leads to corruption. The power of the Kong family in Qufu is almost absolute. Even the imperial power cannot be reduced there. You can imagine how corrupt it is. It is said that more than 80% of the land in Qufu is  It is owned by the Kong family, and more than 80% of the farmers are also farmhands of the Kong family. They work as they please, and almost all the people in Qufu are considered their servants.

    ¡°That¡¯s enough, stop humiliating yourself.

    Just find someone dignified and dignified for Wen'er. The status doesn't have to be too high. You can find him among nobles or from aristocratic families. Don't forget that Wen'er has to be demoted to a noble rank. You still don't know when you turn around.  No matter what level we have to be demoted to, if we are unlucky, we may even be demoted to the third level. Our family does not need to cling to others and can live a stable life.

    You can look for someone with the same status or a slightly lower status than Wen'er. Okay, I'm tired. You go back and tell me the new candidate as soon as possible tomorrow so that I can investigate together!  "

    Qiao Mu stood up from the recliner. Although she didn't speak in a stern tone, she still spoke calmly, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was a little angry. Xiao bit her lip, but in the end she didn't refute anything, but her face looked a little gloomy and ugly.  Leaving the arbor yard.

    That night, after Xiao and Wen Qilian had a quarrel, they finally gave in and brought up a daughter of the Hanlin family the next day. Qiao Mu had no objection to this and just asked Xiao to wait for two more days for her.  After investigating the situation of those two families,?Find a matchmaker to discuss.

    Two days passed quickly, and Qiao Mu didn't find any major problems. So, naturally, he had to go to the matchmaker step by step to make a decision and other matters. Those things were very cumbersome. Even if the matchmaker and others were there to help, he would still be struggling in the end.  During the Chinese New Year, it was difficult to finalize all the relevant matters, including the wedding date of the two siblings. The elder sister is in front and will get married in the spring of two years later. The younger brother is in the rear and will get married in the autumn of two years later.  .

    The reason why we only decided on spring and autumn is because the days in two years have not yet been counted, but with two years to prepare, it should be no problem to pick any date to get married.

    After all these things are done, it¡¯s time to celebrate the New Year.

    There is nothing to say. It is as busy as usual with giving and receiving New Year gifts. The only difference is that this year there are two more prospective in-laws who need to send gifts to each other. But this is not a big deal, because it has been the custom in the past. According to the custom  Just come. Besides, the two prospective in-laws are Qingliu, so naturally they can't give any mundane things such as gold, silver, jewelry, etc. When Xiao prepared the New Year's gift, he only put some high-end pens, inks, paper and inkstones and some unique books.  Later, Qiao Mu couldn't stand the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, so he picked out the orphan books, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and added some grains, wild products, melons and fruits from the farm and a few boxes of gold to each family's New Year's gifts.  Silver thorn.

    As for the reason, the two parents-in-law came from poor families, and their fortunes were less than three generations old, and their official positions were not those that could make money. Officials of this type would be somewhat strapped during the holidays, so they had to find something useful to send over.  It is much more useful than giving pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

    After all, if you send antiques, calligraphy and paintings, they will be too embarrassed to sell them, and those things are very precious in their eyes. For the sake of face, they have to get something appropriate as a gift in return. In this way, life will be even more difficult.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
