Chapter 556 Yaya and Sanlang are also getting engaged.
The second shocking news that Chu Chu heard was explosive news, and it was also from the third brother of the Yan family: Brother Sanlang and Yaya were also getting engaged, and they said they would make the decision when they returned to Taohua Village after the new year.
When she first heard this, Chu Chu thought she had heard it wrong, and she couldn't close her mouth for a long time.
Brother Sanlang is less than two years older than her, and Yaya seems to be almost the same as herself. Why do you think of getting engaged? They haven't settled down yet, what will they do if they regret it in the future?
But Mrs. Yan Du and grandma both told her: "In the village, there are many people who get engaged at the age of eight or nine. It is good for both families to settle down."
"The main reason is that the two families know each other well. Now that they are both older, Sanlang Xiumu always likes to go to Yaya when he goes back. If he has delicious food, he will bring it to other people's homes. If there is no explanation, it will easily lead to gossip."
Yan Dushi smiled and teased Xiaosi and Xiaowu who had climbed up, and said with a smile: "Actually, people in the village have long believed that Yaya is Sanlang's wife. Now Yaya no longer goes to school, and she gives birth to her daughter in the county seat. Zhen Zhen took her with her and started to learn how to do some small business. This child is not smart in studies, but he is pretty fast in arithmetic. He has a sweet mouth. Maybe Zhen Zhen will be able to do well when he gets married next year. Your third aunt likes it. "
Chu Chu felt that the third aunt must be in love with her family. After all, she had doted on Brother Sanlang since she was a child. However, Yaya had a really good temper and was very happy-looking. According to the people in the village, she was good at giving birth and blessed.
So Chu Chu felt that Yaya and Third Brother were a good match, but she still felt that it was too early to get engaged.
Chu Chu couldn't help but ask: "Doesn't the third brother still have to take the exam?"
Sanlang has already passed the Tongsheng exam this year. At the beginning, he and his classmates said that they would pass the exam and meet together in the capital. Have they forgotten their ambitions back then?
Grandma Yan patted Chu Chu and smiled: "Do you think anyone can be like your fourth uncle and second brother? Your grandpa is considered smart. You see, his beard has turned white after taking the exam, so he is not destined to be the tail of the crane. , Sanlang is called self-aware.”
Yan Dushi added: "Sanlang is not discouraged. He said that he would not marry Yaya until he passed the imperial examination. He said that he would do business with his father after passing the imperial examination, and the business would last until the whole Dasheng Dynasty."
Chu Chu smiled and shook her head: "Third brother is quite ambitious." However, she also felt that it was not impossible. Some of the boys and girls who helped her family handle business had not even gone to school seriously, so they could be trained just as well. The main thing about being smooth is that one has to be smart. If the third brother can become a scholar, his knowledge will be much wider than theirs. It is certain that he can do bigger things and go further.
Thinking about it, when he was studying in Taohua Village, the third brother was indeed not the smart one, so it was good to be determined to become a scholar.
Besides, the third brother still has the second brother to support him. One of the two sons will be an official and the other a businessman. Their parents are capable, so they look good.
Looking at Xiaosi and Xiaowu who had just started to wear crotchless pants on the bed, Chu Chu patted Xiaosi's buttocks: "Xiaosi is the eldest son, but you must listen to your father and mother and be good in the future. Study and support your parents and sister.”
Xiao Si grinned with small mung bean teeth. He liked his sister when he saw her. He raised his hand as if to hit someone and kept saying, "If Xiao Wu disobeys me, hit him."
"Wow..." Xiao Wu didn't cry, but it actually made Xiao Liu cry.
Xiu Niang quickly put her arms around her unsatisfied son and comforted her: "The fourth brother is scolding the fifth brother. Why are you crying? You are far behind your elder brother. It seems that you will have to be thrown into the army for training in the future."
After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Grandma Yan suddenly sighed: "The younger two are engaged, but the older man... I'm afraid the marriage will be delayed once we go out."
When he said this, he seemed to have forgotten that there was also Erlang in the middle. It seemed that he was definitely not worried that Erlang would not be able to find a wife.
Xiu Niang has been sitting next to them. Although she was a little depressed after hearing this, she also found it funny: "Mom, the elder is only sixteen. It will be two or three years later. Didn't dad say? First start a career and then start a family." Maybe a good marriage like Fourth Uncle will come later. If Fourth Uncle had booked him a random one in a nearby village earlier, he would regret it now. "
Grandma Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, looked at Chu Chu and said, "It's the same reason. With Chu Chu, everything goes smoothly for our family. Maybe the elder man will marry a female general when the time comes."
This statement made everyone laugh. Although they knew it was impossible, they all thought that if they could earn fame in the future, it would not be impossible to marry a better wife.
The atmosphere at the New Year's Eve palace banquet was not very good.
The Queen and Concubine Qiong did not come out, and even the Eighth Prince and the Crown Prince were nowhere to be seen. The Emperor was in poor spirits and came out for a formality, and two old eunuchs helped him back.
In the end, it was the Twelve Princes who supported the show, but Concubine Xian was very low-key, sitting quietly, saying only a few words of blessing, and not messing around with the ladies below.
The courtiers below were also absent-minded. After watching a few palace dances, many of them greeted the Twelve Prince one after another and left directly.
Chu Chu felt that it would be better not to hold such a palace banquet. She didn't know what the emperor was thinking. Did he still want to make the family ugly?
Therefore, the time to return to Shunguo Duke's Mansion was almost an hour earlier than the previous two years.
It's not too cold this winter, and there's no need to eat all the pots. Seeing them come in, Luo Mei asked the kitchen to start cooking. Hot pots must be prepared, and there are five or six cooking dishes.
When all the hot meals and dishes were served, Jiao Zhongjue also came back.
The atmosphere was better when we returned home. Everyone happily had a New Year's dinner, and Jiao Zhongjue even drank two glasses of wine with Duke Shun.
After eating, Jiao Zhongjue was not in a hurry to go back to watch the New Year's Eve. Instead, he called Chu Chu and followed Duke Shun to the front yard. Zimo also followed silently.
Yan Yuzhe and Yan Yuge were also called over. As they got older, Duke Shun would let them listen to some important matters. Sometimes he would also let them express their own opinions and teach them how to know. Proper and dangerous, don't reveal anything you shouldn't say.
Chu Chu knew that something must have happened again, but judging from the expressions of her father and brother Jue, it shouldn't be a bad thing.
She was a little excited, wondering if she could help this time. After all, nothing exciting had happened in a long time.
"General An will make a sneak attack tonight and return here in one fell swoop."
Chu Chu was stunned for a long time before she remembered who Brother Jue was talking about, General An: the long-missing Second General Lin Junan.
In this case, Brother Jue just came out of the palace and must have returned to Prince Chun's Mansion first. Such a thing was not only done by Prince Chun's Mansion, but also by the Twelve Princes.
As expected, her guess was correct. General An's disappearance was premeditated, probably to preserve the strength of the Lin family army.
Now what brother Jue and his father are saying is that General An is about to appear.
