Moonlight Drying Valley Works The Concubine's Daughter Plans to Marry the Best King's Concubine The Concubine's Daughter Plans to Marry the Best King's Concubine The Best King's Concubine Forty-seven Elder Brother

  In this Dai Dynasty where Jiu Jie Er lived, there was no custom of "not marrying in the first month and not fixing a date for marriage in the twelfth month", so whether it was the first month or the twelfth month, people married as they pleased.

  So, after the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first month, the Wen family entered their second busy period, as Third Young Master Wen Jingyi was scheduled to marry the daughter of Imperial Censor Xiao's family on the 26th of the first month.

  This year, the second lady Miao was quite pleased. First, there were oral promises about the matter of Fourth Sister and Rongguo Gong's youngest son, and then the Xiao family, who had not visited the Wen mansion for nearly half a year, suddenly sent someone over.

  The second lady was naturally surprised, but what surprised her even more was that the purpose of the Xiao family's visit turned out to be... a marriage proposal.

  Not only the second lady, but also the second master Wen Chonghe was overjoyed. You know that Xiao Yu Shi is a rising star in his career, with great imperial favor, and Xiao's son has made great progress, being last year's new Jinshi.

  Now... with this brilliant lamp shining brightly at home, not only will this incompetent son be blessed, but he will also receive great favor in his official career.

  What's more, it is said that the dowry was quite substantial.

  Hehe......

  The literary naturalists have no opinion!

  Since both parties have no objection, this good thing will be settled early, so after the two parties have agreed, they will quickly settle the marriage.

  Before long, the day arrived, and the Wen family was again decorated with lanterns and streamers, bustling with excitement.

  But when Wen San Shao, with his majestic red attire and spirited face, lifted the red veil, everyone was stunned.

  What was originally a pretty woman's face was unfortunately ruined by the pockmarks on either side of her nose.

  Oh, so it was the young lady from the Xiao family who had smallpox and got pockmarks, no wonder!

  Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

  But after a sigh, it was over. After all, this mother-in-law is not from our own family. As for the one who really cares about this matter, there is only one person, that is Wen Jingyi, the groom. Even Wenfu San Shao, who is usually reckless, didn't even enter the house and ran to the Yuexiang Academy on the street to drink flower wine, and was then punished by the second master of the house.

  "What right do you have to hit me... Ah... You think... I don't know, oh no... It's you who coveted others' opportunities and dowry... Ouch, yet pushed your own son into the fire pit..."

  Wen Jingri was furious and let out a loud roar, accompanied by the slapping sound of the board and his own cries of pain.

  The second master was furious and almost mad, while the second lady's crying voice was even more deafening, making the whole house restless.

  Everyone in the house went to persuade them, and Mrs. Li was even more trembling with fear as she was supported by Cui Feng.

  However, Ninth Sister was worried about the new daughter-in-law who had just entered the household yesterday and staged such a scene today. So she went to see Xiao Shiya, and because of Xiao Shiya's words, she felt even more sorrowful.

  "I didn't want to get married either, I know that no man would like this ruined face of mine. But I couldn't not get married, I still have a large group of younger brothers and sisters behind me, how could I disappoint them..." The woman in red sitting on the red wedding bed said tearfully with a mix of helplessness and sorrow.

  After returning, Jiuzi's mood couldn't calm down for a long time.

  The weight of family rules is on his body, in this era, who can achieve being good for oneself alone, sigh...

  Suddenly she thought of her fifth sister again and what Lady Li had said on New Year's Eve, thinking that she should indeed think carefully about getting married...

  "Nine sister..." Just as she was thinking about that, the tenth sister suddenly rushed in, "You say our third brother is so stubborn and doesn't understand things?"

  "Didn't you see just now?" Er Jie's face was full of indignation, "Our new sister-in-law rushed out to plead with Third Brother, and at first glance, she seemed like a virtuous person. But Third Brother actually kept saying he wanted to divorce her, it's infuriating! Is physical appearance really that important?"

  The ninth sister heard this and was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "A beauty is a treat to behold, but men are often shallow!"

  Men are visual animals, it's a bit difficult to ask them to see the essence through external observation, otherwise, how could there be so many mistresses in their past lives and so many concubines in this life? Aren't these all men's masterpieces?

  "Pfft—" The tenth sister was amused by her and sat down intimately, leaning on her body. "Ninth sister, I'm liking you more and more."

  The ninth sister just smiled.

  "But... Ha, I know one person is different, that's my brother, he has been traveling all over the country since he was young, knowledgeable and talented, a lover of genius!" The tenth sister suddenly said with a sly smile.

  Jiujie's face suddenly turned red upon hearing this.

  Her previous guess was true, although Jiang had not formally mentioned it to her, but Zhou's mother had already hinted to her that Jiang had the intention of making a marriage with her family.

  Looking at Jiang's behavior towards her during this period, and every time Jiang Yuxing brought something back, he would specially have some for her. Even after the New Year, when Yan came to pay respects with gifts, there was even a portion for Xu Niang. The fact that Jiang wanted to marry her off to her niece's son is also a sign of ulterior motives. This is also why Di Jie no longer felt jealous of her mother's favoritism towards her.

  Suddenly thought of seeing Jiang Yuxing's face last winter, a refined and elegant yet passionate and bold young man, actually this person should be pretty good...

  As soon as she blushed, the tenth sister immediately giggled again.

  "Let's just go see our real brother instead!" Jiū Jiě immediately said with a straight face.

  No matter who she and her sister marry in the future, their mother's family is the most important, their father can forget about it, but this brother is a dark horse.

  Since it's impossible to avoid vulgarity, I might as well take advantage of it early on...

  "Alright!"

  After this year, the little girl Shijie has also grown up a lot and has reached the age of marriage. She naturally understands this point as well.

  Then the two of them sent the little maid to call Jiang Shi, who was currently mediating a dispute in the second house, and then took some pastries, brought Qing Zhi and another personal maid of the tenth sister, and went to the courtyard of Wen Jing Shui, the fourth young master of the Wen family.

  The spring exam is approaching, Wen Jing Shui is making preparations for the exam, and now is the time to cheer him up.

  As expected, when the two of them arrived, they saw Wen Jing Shui sitting by the window in a daze, with a thick book on the table beside him.

  Originally, when he came, Jiuniang still had the worry of being scolded by Jiangshi for disturbing Wenjing Shui's reading, but now that she thinks about it, it was really unnecessary. Under such heavy pressure, this fifteen-year-old boy probably couldn't concentrate on his book anyway.

  "Brother, why aren't you reading?" The simple-minded tenth sister didn't have any ulterior motives and thought that her brother was being lazy, so she frowned and asked.

  "Uh... take a break and look at this!" Wen Jing Shui's face immediately flashed with embarrassment, and he mechanically took the book from one side to flip through.

  "Fourth brother, don't listen to Tenth sister, let's go see you, just put that book down for now and chat with us!" Ninth sister said.

  The tenth sister wanted to say something, but the ninth sister pulled her aside and sat down. She first let Wen Jing Shui taste the snacks they brought, then talked about the recent weather that was warm one day and cold the next, from the weather to the local customs and people in various places described in books.

  To be honest, Jiu Jie and this brother didn't have many in-depth conversations, nor was it due to the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. Mainly because she had been busy hiding her true self and struggling to make a living in this different world for several years, while this brother was a man of few words who kept to himself.

  At this moment, what surprised Jiuniang was that her brother turned out to be quite insightful and not just a bookworm, but a talented person.

  "Brother, the big exam is approaching, have you finished reading all your books?" Until she saw Wen Jing Shui completely relax, Jiu Si Er suddenly asked again.

  As expected, Wen Jing Shui's face stiffened.

  "Fourth brother, actually your fate has already been decided, it's not just these few days, I hope you can be at ease and take things as they come!" Ninth sister hastily said.

  Wen Jing's eyes widened in surprise as she stared at her face.

  She immediately smiled encouragingly at him.

  Looking at the delicate and gentle yet determined smile on that not-so-big face in front of him, Wen Jing Shui suddenly felt his anxious and uneasy heart calm down.

  One word awakened the dreamer, indeed, his sister was right, after such a long period of hard study, now that everything is settled, no matter how he tries to change it, it's better to take the exam with ease and strive for a good performance.

  He never thought that this little sister he had never noticed before would have such thoughts, and he couldn't help but look at Jiu again.

  The ninth sister and tenth sister were afraid of delaying Wen Jingyu's reading, so they didn't sit for long before saying they wanted to leave. Wen Jingyu then sent the two out the door.

  But just as they reached the entrance, a young servant led a handsome and elegant blue-clad youth hastily over. When Jiu's gaze fell on the newcomer's face, she was momentarily stunned...
