Chapter 612 Urging marriage
Qiao Ran and the ghost doctor went to the General's Mansion, and Mrs. Zheng quickly ordered the housekeeper to ask the kitchen to cook more dishes that her granddaughter liked to eat.
Because General Zheng was about to leave the capital and return to the Qingzhou camp, Qiao Ran wanted to have dinner with her grandpa in the past two days to make him happy.
This time she brought the ghost doctor here so that she could give her grandpa a full body examination to see if his old injuries were healed.
General Zheng smiled so much when he saw his granddaughter being so filial that he even ate an extra bowl of rice for lunch.
"Ran Ran, thank you for the two bottles of pills you gave me! My aunt really doesn't feel sick anymore when she smells fishy smell. Now everything she sees tastes delicious."
Zheng Lin also had a good appetite and ate half a bowl of rice more than usual.
In particular, the blue water fish Qiao Ran sent not only had no fishy smell, but was also very delicious, which made her eat several more chopsticks.
It is said that children who eat more fish will be smarter. She hopes that her children will be as smart and capable as Ran Ran.
Qiao Ran said with a smile: "Aunt, you can eat more in the past two months. When the fetus is older, you will have to control your diet. Otherwise, you will become fat yourself, and it will be difficult for the fetus to be born if it is too big. You can eat less. Eat more meals and move around more, it’s good for you and your baby.”
The third aunt almost had a dystocia when she gave birth to Xiaoba, which really frightened Qiao Ran. She learned her lesson and warned her not to eat too much fat in the later stages of pregnancy.
Mrs. Zheng Lin nodded: "Okay, aunt will remember your words, eat less, eat more and move around more."
Seeing that her granddaughter knew so much, Mrs. Zheng thought that it was time for her to start talking about kissing her since she was already hair-haired, so she said:
"Ran Ran, you're already getting hairpins, and it's time to start seeing each other. Generally, girls in other families make an appointment before they get hairpins, and they can get married after they get hairpins. Your mother said she hasn't made a betrothal for you yet, otherwise she would let grandma do it. We will look for several suitable candidates for you, and then you will choose the one you are satisfied with?"
General Zheng frowned when he heard this, and then relaxed.
Although he was reluctant to let his newly recognized granddaughter get married so soon, it is true that many women in Dai Viet got engaged before they got hairpins, and got married and had children after they got hairpins.
Now that Ran Ran is getting haircut but she doesn't even have a suitable marriage partner, it's normal for an old wife to worry about her granddaughter's marriage.
Although he was reluctant to leave, the old general was more worried that it would delay his granddaughter's marriage. He didn't want Ran Ran to be laughed at by others, so he could only help:
"Yes, yes, yes, Ran Ran, before grandpa leaves the capital, ask your grandma and aunt to make a list of the unmarried young men of the right age in the capital. Let's go through the details together, lest you come to the capital for the first time and are not familiar with these people. He was deceived."
Old General Zheng thought to himself that it would take at least half a year before he came back from Beijing this time, and his granddaughter's marriage couldn't wait.
It would be better to pick out a few suitable candidates for Ranran while she is still in Beijing, so that she will not have her cabbage taken over by someone else's piggy when she returns home in half a year.
Zheng Lin looked at her parents-in-law and made a suggestion:
"Father, mother, what do you think of my nephew? Although Wei'er is greedy, he has a good character. He is filial and obedient to his elders, and takes good care of his brothers and sisters. He will definitely be good to Ran Ran. And Ran Ran I also get along very well with the two sisters Su Xin, and when I marry into the Lin family, there will be no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. My sister-in-law is also easy-going. Last time I saw Ran Ran, she told me that she likes her very much. There will definitely be no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future. ."
Mrs. Zheng pondered without saying anything, but General Zheng stopped agreeing:
"No, then Lin Haowei is a fat man and not worthy of our Ran Ran. Think about it again, whose young master is still unmarried in the capital?"
Qiao Ran was also a little speechless. Although people in this era like to kiss each other and make cousins into couples, she really didn't know what to say when she thought of that fat man Lin Haowei.
Mrs. Zheng frowned as she filtered the young men from aristocratic families in the capital, then shook her head:
"I can't think of it at the moment. The good-mannered young masters in the aristocratic family have all made arrangements to get married early. For someone as old as Ranran who has not yet been engaged, I really can't think of anyone at the moment. I'll look back later. Ask sister-in-law to come over and add up the total!"
When the ghost doctor, who was eating fish with his head down, heard this, he quickly spat out the fish bones in his mouth and interjected:
"I only know one person in the capital who is about the same age as my master, has a good family background, and has decent character."
General Zheng and others all looked at him, and Mrs. Zheng asked quickly:
"I wonder which family the ghost doctor is talking about?"
The ghost doctor glanced at his master and saw that she was looking at him curiously, so he said:
"In my opinion, only Mo boy from Dingbei Palace is barely worthy of my master. Everyone else is far behind my master! Master naturally doesn't like him."
The ghost doctor thought he had given good advice. Just when he was feeling proud, he heard General Zheng retort with a dark face:
"No! That kid can't!"
The ghost doctor asked in confusion: "Why does the old general think that Mo Xiaoxiao is not good? I think he is very good! He knows my master, and he is his savior. How dare he not treat his master well?"
Mrs. Zheng also thought about it carefully, nodded and said:
"I think it's not bad. Except for the old King Dingbei who is far away in northern Xinjiang, there are no other elders in the Dingbei Prince's Palace. Ranran doesn't have to honor her parents-in-law. Once she marries into the palace, she becomes the mistress of the house. There is no mother-in-law on top. I think it's quite good. OK!"
The old general still disagreed:
"Although Ran Ran is the mistress when she is married, and I have some friendship with the old Dingbei King, he will definitely not dare to challenge our family Ran Ran. But that kid Mo Beihan has a perverse personality and does not accept anyone's words. Such a person must It’s okay that he loves his wife, but if he suddenly gets confused one day, wouldn’t Ran Ran have to suffer?”
Qiao Ran really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Are the elders discussing her life events in front of her?
Sure enough, no matter which dynasty we belong to, the elders always like to urge marriage!
I remembered that when my grandfather was alive in my previous life, I was only a teenager and had not yet reached the legal age for marriage. Although my grandfather did not urge me to get married, he asked me many times if I had a boyfriend.
Before he died, her grandfather held her hand and told her over and over again to take good care of herself. She must keep her eyes open when marrying in the future, find a man who truly loves her, and let her have a boyfriend. When she gets married, she must I need to tell him in front of the curtain.
When elders urge marriage, most of the time they do so out of good intentions, because they are worried that they will not be able to see their younger generation get married and have children.
Only when you see your younger generation being cared for and living a happy life will you feel at ease.
It's a pity that my mother was single until death in her previous life, so she didn't reassure her grandfather.
Thinking of this, Qiao Ran's heart softened a little.
She couldn't bear to worry the elders in this life, but she didn't want to be so hastily tied to a man she didn't love for the rest of her life.
In the palace at this moment, Mo Beihan was also having lunch with the Supreme Emperor.
"Han'er, before I return to Beijing, your grandfather asked me to ask you, which rich girl do you have your eyes on? You are not young anymore. Your grandfather and I are both buried up to our necks, so we just want to Watching you get married and have children, and flourish the Dingbei palace. If you have a girl you like, the emperor's uncle will make the decision to propose marriage for you. When your grandfather comes back, he will solve your life-long affairs for you, saving him time. Always concerned."
