Chapter 392 The Farmer's Widowed Mother Who Was Hurt by the Reborn Girl 29
As expected, since the parade that day, the threshold of the house where Wen Nuan was temporarily staying was almost trampled down.
Many of the wealthy and powerful families who wanted to marry into the family openly or secretly, and those powerful ladies, came in person.
Faced with Wen Nuan, a country woman, the matrons of wealthy families were willing to humble themselves and talk to her.
Of course, there are those who look at people through the cracks in the door. They are not afraid of Wen Nuan. It's not like they will marry anyone else. Why are they so arrogant?
Her family's foundation is shallow, but this is only temporary. Her sons can earn high positions and high salaries.
She hopes that all her children can marry the women of their dreams.
As for her connections in official circles, she has her good nephew there. If all else fails, she can just put up a few puppet talismans and be done with it.
She is the children's greatest support.
However, what Wen Nuan didn't expect was that the little girl across the window during the parade that day was actually the daughter of Prime Minister Ruan.
The mistress of the prime minister's residence actually came in person.
There is no need to guess, as they have clearly shown their cards.
Wen Nuan did have some feelings for the girl, but she didn't agree on the spot. She just said that she would find an appropriate time for the two children to have a private look at her.
Although this is against the rules, for families who love their children, this is a tacit understanding between each other.
If it is possible, the two families will make the decision, but if they don't like it, since it is a private matter, the two families will just pretend that it never happened.
Knowing that the eldest son is filial, Wen Nuan earnestly advises the child not to force himself.
He married the wife for himself, not for his old mother.
However, in her heart, Wen Nuan hoped that this marriage could be accomplished. After all, she had heard about Prime Minister Ruan, who was a good official and came from a century-old family.
It seems that the girl is the best among the noble ladies in the capital in terms of appearance, reputation, and family background.
As an official in the court, it is always better to have the support of the Yue family than to fight alone.
However, Wen Nuan did not fully count on this one. After all, one is also a match, and two is no big deal.
It is normal for children to visit each other when they reach a certain age.
Over the past few days, the constant stream of people arriving at the entrance of Zhou's mansion has almost become a rare sight in the capital.
How could an ordinary top scholar receive such treatment? The mistresses of the first and second ranks in the court all came to visit him in person. He is truly worthy of being a young talent who has won the top six places in the imperial examination.
Look, all the noble ladies in Beijing are eagerly looking forward to him. He is the dream lover of many girls.
Countless people are eagerly waiting to see who will be the winner of the Dazhao No. 1 Scholar Award.
As a result, some people are happy and some are sad.
The eldest brother looked at several girls and unexpectedly fell in love with the daughter of the prime minister. As soon as he saw her, he came to tell Wen Nuan with blushing cheeks.
He was hesitating and stammering like a red butt. How could Wen Nuan not understand? Those brats before were all hard-hearted people.
At that moment, Wen Nuan didn't hesitate and informed the Prime Minister's Mansion and it was done.
I don't know if the prime minister's family was afraid that the new son-in-law would run away, so to avoid any complications, the two families quickly exchanged engagement letters and set a date for the wedding.
Once the news spread, countless hearts were broken.
The warmth also puts my mind at ease.
After moving to the new mansion, Wen Nuan hired a group of servants, appointed a housekeeper, and handed over some matters related to the preparation of the wedding to the housekeeper.
The important thing is to wait for her to come back and make a decision.
The mother and her two sons returned home to worship their ancestors without stopping.
Zhoujia Village was already very excited when a top scholar emerged from the province, and the plaque for the top scholar had also been sent there, so they would definitely go back for a visit.
The house in my hometown also needs to be put in order and the clan members need to be informed.
As for the betrothal gifts, well, these things are very filling and should be prepared early. Otherwise, with such a tight schedule, there might be some mistakes.
It can be said that the Prime Minister's Mansion really values their eldest daughter. The Prime Minister's wife also privately told her that the betrothal gifts can be prepared by their Mansion and sent secretly without anyone else knowing.
Alas, parents’ love for their children is truly long-term.
This is because they are afraid of hurting the Zhou family's reputation, but they are also reluctant to let their own daughter suffer.
Everyone in Beijing knows that the top scholar was born in a farming family. He is truly a role model of modern farmers.
Given the grassroots background of the Zhou family, the Prime Minister's Mansion was worried that the Zhou family would not be able to come up with a decent betrothal gift, which would make them a laughing stock.
This warmth can be agreed, but it must not be possible.
She is marrying her daughter-in-law, not her son.
Knowing the other party's good intentions, Wen Nuan simply declined politely.
Not to mention her own small treasury, just what the two children have earned over the years is also a huge fortune. They have monopolized the winter vegetables of the entire Dazhao, so the profit can't be small.
It was also because their confidentiality work was too strong, the two brothers just stayed in the greenhouse all day long, and the people who came out for marketing were all Prince Jing's people.
Once Prince Jing showed up, who dared to ask? This is why no one knew the importance of the Zhou family.
There is no need to hide it now, these two brothers will reveal themselves to the public sooner or later.
Now it was the Prime Minister's wife's turn to be frightened.
The noble ladies brought up in aristocratic families are good at managing accounts, so how could they not know the benefits of winter vegetables?
I didn't expect that the Zhou family was behind such a money-making business.
These three brothers are rich, powerful, and seem to be connected to the royal family.
It’s incredible! This Zhou family will be extremely powerful in the future.
My daughter really made the right choice in marriage. Her husband is a handsome man, and her mother-in-law seems to be a kind person. Oh, your daughter will not suffer any loss in the future.
The Prime Minister's wife finally left with a smile on her face, and she couldn't suppress that smile.
In a hurry to worship the ancestors, he has to turn around and get married. Oh, this time the Zhou family really has good things in pairs.
Wasn't Wen Nuan's words right at the beginning? She would get a good score in the imperial examination, have a wedding night, have double the happiness, and have many children and grandchildren.
The village that shared the joy was Zhoujia Village.
The old patriarch's white beard was almost crooked with laughter, and the villagers walked out with their backs straighter.
The number one scholar, or the number one scholar who ranks sixth in the imperial examination, only appears once in a hundred years.
Hey~ They have it in Zhoujia Village!
They have seen that kid grow up since he was little, and they have to call him "uncle".
Ancestor worship? Come back, definitely come back, Zhoujia Village is the root of the number one scholar.
Well, not only did the eldest brother come back in glory, he also wanted to open the Zhou Family Private School in the village to train the younger generations of the Zhou family.
This is probably what they mean when they say that if one person succeeds, all the people around him will benefit.
This move not only won the hearts of the entire village, but also laid the foundation for the boss's future official career.
It is worth mentioning that Wen Nuan originally planned to bring the original owner’s brother and his family to Beijing.
Unexpectedly, the brother from my mother's family was really strong-willed and refused without hesitation.
Now that his son has grown up, he can no longer rely on him, so he has to rely on his grandson.
Since Zhoujia Village has opened a private school, as my brother from my mother's side, I can enjoy special treatment.
Train your grandson well. If he can really read, then he can go to Beijing to join his sister.
This move really made Wen Nuan look at this elder brother with new eyes.
