Qiao Lan felt that she came from behind, and her previous sons were married long ago, so she didn't have to worry about it!
Speaking of the marriages of her previous sons, although Mrs. Qiao had intervened, she didn't go out to see the girl much. Even before Mrs. Liu and Duan Mingqing got married, she didn't even know what Mrs. Liu looked like.
Kankan met the Wang family and the Shang family once and nodded directly.
It is really a blind marriage and a dumb marriage!
I don't know if the sons of the Duan family are lucky or if their ancestors have accumulated a lot of virtue, but the chosen daughters-in-law are all very good-natured, gentle and virtuous.
This fourth child...
Qiao Lan thought for a while and then said: "I'll call him over tonight and ask him. You can also come over and ask him what kind of girl he likes. He will go to the examination room after the year. Write it down for him first and look for it."
Wang nodded and suddenly saw the posts on the table. "Mom, what about these posts from other people?"
Qiao Lan: "Ignore them, it's the same as usual."
After the meal, Qiao Lan asked the two maids in the house to call Duan Mingchen and Wang to the front and ask questions directly.
"You are not young now. Have you ever considered getting married? What kind of girl do you like?" Qiao Lan asked.
Duan Mingchen is the one who looks most like Duan Yuexiu among the brothers. Duan Yuexiu is both good-looking and good-looking, so Duan Mingchen is certainly not bad. Standing in front of the brothers, he looks dignified and has a talent.
It stands to reason that such a man who is talented, handsome and has a good family background would be an excellent candidate for a wife.
Previously, when Duan Mingchen was twenty years old, Wang also told Qiao Lan about this matter, saying that the Fourth Master was getting older and wanted to consider getting married.
Qiao Lan recalled that Duan Mingchen said at that time that he would talk about it after he was admitted to the imperial examination. The Duan family was in the countryside at that time, and Qiao Lan understood that Duan Mingchen did not want to marry a country girl.
Although he passed the exam, he was found guilty of fraud and his fame was in vain. In addition, his family had to go to Beijing, so it was delayed.
Qiao Lan counted with her fingers. Duan Mingchen would be twenty-five or six next year, and he would be thirty if he delayed further.
Duan Mingchen didn't expect that his mother came to him for such a thing. He raised his head and said seriously: "My mother chose it for her son, and he likes it!"
Qiao Lan raised her eyebrows and glanced at Duan Mingchen. Which one did she like more, her wife or Duan Mingchen's wife?
Qiao Lan couldn't figure out whether her son was inexperienced or just didn't like women.
"In this way, your sister-in-law and I will go see some girls for you first. After you finish the exam next year, you can go see those girls again and see a few more. If you like the one the most, you will marry her!" Qiao Lan!
said.
Duan Mingchen nodded, "I will obey my mother's orders in everything!"
Qiao Lan is helpless!
Qiao Lan directly waved Duan Mingchen out, too lazy to talk to him anymore!
Can Duan Mingchen, the girl she chose, really be able to play the piano and play the piano in harmony? Qiao Lan doesn't think so.
It was cold in winter, so Qiao Lan looked at some books that he had picked up from the system before this winter.
Although there are all kinds of books in the mall, the books I picked out in the past 100 consecutive times were all related to agriculture.
At the end of the year, there was no need to write about the business of strengthening the country, so Qiao Lan took out those books, read them, and sorted out some notes.
Farming is a very profound subject, but the knowledge in "Farming Notes" is relatively simple and easy to understand. Qiao Lan feels that if she wants to continue to develop, she should write more things for future generations to use as a reference.
It was like this until the New Year. This year, the palace did not hold a palace banquet on the grounds that His Majesty was ill. Qiao Lan didn't know what the illness was. Qiao Lan was happy that she didn't have to go to the palace to eat.
Qiao Lan had extra money this year, so on the first day of the new year, she sealed a huge red envelope for everyone in her family.
I will wait until the Lantern Festival and prepare to take my family out to play together.
This year's lantern show has more items than in previous years. His Majesty will go to the tower in person to pray.
The freeze disaster last spring affected the lives of many people. His Majesty chose an auspicious day and prepared to climb to the tallest building in the capital in person to pray to God and hope that the coming year would be smooth and the people would be happy.
Qiao Lan secretly murmured in her heart, fearing that the ministers had failed to persuade His Majesty to write an edict of sin against oneself, and the pressure was so great that His Majesty was so angry that he did not even hold a palace banquet this year, but they compromised with each other and changed the edict to pray for blessings.
, This way His Majesty’s face will be acceptable.
No matter what you write, because His Majesty is going to climb the tower in person, many merchants in the capital have prepared lanterns early and are preparing to hang them up on the day His Majesty climbs the tower.
From this we can see that the lanterns on the day His Majesty appeared were the most numerous and the most beautiful.
Qiao Lan didn't want to join in the fun, but the children at home wanted to go, so Qiao Lan nodded and went.
I still remember that during last year's lantern festival, the Pei family lost their child. Fortunately, the child was found, and a strange combination of circumstances led to a marriage. Since His Majesty is here in person this year, public security should be much better.
Qiao Lan always felt that it was appropriate to be cautious after all, so she selected a number of slaves from home who were good at fists and kicks. Mo Qiming's family even came on stage together, assigned one to each person, and looked after them carefully.
Qiao Lan and her whole family had no intention of going to the tower where His Majesty appeared. There must be a lot of people there.
A few streets away, I got off the carriage with my family members early and let them go shopping separately.
Children play with children, and couples hang out with couples.
Last year, Qiao Lan had an eldest granddaughter, Duan Sitong, but now there was only one Feiyan left. She seemed a little lonely, so she took Duan Mingchen with her and went shopping with her.
Feiyan had a great time shopping, looking left and right, carrying a lot of lanterns, sometimes pointing some to Qiao Lan, and passing many unique lanterns to Qiao Lan. Qiao Lan took a few of them and looked at them.
He handed it to the maid behind him to hold.
As for Duan Mingchen, he was not so cooperative. He politely refused all the lanterns offered by Feiyan!
Although Feiyan was a little disappointed, she didn't care.
Qiao Lan watched from the side and suddenly understood why Duan Mingchen was not in any hurry to find a wife. He was too lazy to deal with his own girls, let alone other strange women!
I really don’t know whose girl is going to be unlucky!
Several people stood on the busy street, listening to the mellow sound of bells coming from far away.
Duan Mingchen turned around and looked up at a tall building on the eaves in the distance.
That is the tallest building in the capital, Mingyue Tower, and it is the place where His Majesty will pray today.
Duan Mingchen said: "The bell is ringing, Your Majesty is about to start praying."
When Qiao Lan and Fei Yan heard this, they both turned around and looked towards the tall building.
The Mingyue Tower was a little far away, standing atop thousands of lights. She was in a trance, and couldn't hear any sound. Qiao Lan looked at it for a few times and thought it was boring, so she looked away.
There were many people like Qiao Lan on the street who stopped to watch. The originally turbulent crowd temporarily stopped after the bell rang, and they all looked at the tall buildings that could not be seen clearly.
Everyone was standing still and it was not easy to walk. Qiao Lan had to stand there and look around.
