Chapter 451
The small jade pendant lay on Zhao Benzhu's hand, less than half the size of a palm.
It is said to be a jade pendant, but it looks like a delicate decorative object.
Two sections of emerald green bamboo!
"Ah, this is also called a jade pendant?"
Mu Yushu whispered that this was more like a gadget that his father bought for him.
It looks good, more like a toy for children.
The greenest jade bamboo has a small half of a bamboo leaf carved on it, which can be moved up and down gently.
No wonder Zhao Benzhu accepted it, it didn't look like a token of love.
What's more, he has bamboo in his name, and there are many bamboos in his hometown. He prefers bamboo, so it's not surprising that Miss Ye's family gave him this.
Wu You was even more surprised when he looked at this small bamboo jade pendant.
"Can you show it to me?"
Zhao Benzhu respectfully handed over the jade pendant in his hand.
After Wu You took it, he first picked up the jade pendant and looked at it through the light in the direction of the sun.
"Sure enough, the word leaf is engraved inside."
Then he held one end of the two bamboo sections with each hand, gently pressed the bamboo leaves, and twisted hard, splitting the jade pendant into two parts, and the separated part actually looked like a seal.
Lu Ming was so surprised that he put down the bamboo cup he was holding in his hand.
"They can actually be separated?!"
The jade pendant seemed to fit perfectly, and the bamboo joints were completely natural. She even took a closer look and saw no cracks at all, as if it was completely carved from a single piece of jade.
Zhao Benzhu's lips trembled, and he was even more surprised.
Wu You looked at the shape of the seal carefully and laughed softly, "It's quite interesting."
Go ahead and put the separated jade pendant back into Zhao Benzhu's hand.
"Do you know what this is?"
Zhao Benzhu shook his head dully. No matter how slow he reacted, he should understand that this jade pendant was no small matter.
"Ye family
Yingchuan, where it is located, is rich in beautiful jade. "
"When a daughter of the Ye family is born, her parents will choose a piece of jade from the family treasury."
"When his daughter was six years old, the jade was carved into shape and engraved with a special seal."
"The jade is divided into two pieces, one for yourself and the other for the husband you marry."
"According to the family name, Miss Ye's generation is named Yu."
"Miss Ye ranks sixteen."
"Look at the words on the seal, Yu Shiliu."
Zhao Benzhu listened blankly and quickly looked at the words engraved on the seal. It was indeed Yu Sixteen.
Wu You smiled and said, "What is this if it's not a token of love?"
"You actually accepted it, and the marriage was settled."
Zhao Benzhu's eyes widened and his hand holding the jade pendant trembled.
"Butler Ye didn't say anything either."
"Why was such an important thing given to me so casually?"
"I, I didn't know this was Miss Ye's engagement jade pendant."
Wu You asked: "If you knew it, would you accept it or not?"
Zhao Benzhu was stunned, looking down at the jade pendant in his hand, feeling confused.
Zhao Liangcai was so open-minded that he accepted everything, and looking at his brother like this, he might not be willing to retreat.
"Thank you, Princess, for informing me."
"Let's wait until my parents and eldest brother get home tomorrow to discuss the matter of proposing marriage."
"Propose marriage?!"
The Zhao clan was shocked again.
"Otherwise." Zhao Liangcai looked at his brother with a complicated expression, "The girls took the initiative to send me tokens. Since you accepted them, don't you want to take responsibility?"
"Of course not!" Zhao Benzhu explained quickly.
"Miss Ye is a daughter of a noble family, me, me."
Zhao Liangcai patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "Are you wanting Miss Ye to marry you and have wronged her?"
Zhao Benzhu nodded, "I heard that women seldom do good things when they get married.
Eventually. "
Since my sister got hairpins, many people came to propose marriage to the house. When her mother chose these sons, Mu Yushu was also listening.
Family background and family background are placed after the mother's character and ability.
Under the influence of his ears and eyes, Mu Yushu understood these things even though he was young.
"Uncle Benzhu, if the sister of the Ye family marries you, will you treat her well?"
"of course."
Zhao Benzhu answered without hesitation.
"Are you in a hurry to take a concubine?"
Zhao Benzhu looked serious, "I don't know how to take concubines."
"One wife is enough."
"Sex will never make you stupid or ruin the relationship between us as husband and wife."
Mu Yushu applauded, "Then do you like Sister Ye's family?"
Zhao Benzhu's face turned red again, and he nodded firmly.
"That's fine!"
Mu Yushu chuckled and said, "Since you like her, you will be kind to her."
"Sister Ye's sister has already taken the initiative to give you the token, why are you still hesitating?"
"Sister Ye's family trusts you so much and is willing to bet her lifelong happiness on you. Don't let her down."
Although they were childish words, they made Zhao Benzhu's heart beat wildly.
Things that had been tangled up in the past few days suddenly became clear.
Yes, other girls have taken the initiative, so why should I be timid?
Zhao Benzhu took Zhao Liangcai's arm and said, "Second brother, do you think your parents will agree?"
Parents to enrich people.
But neither he nor Miss Ye seems to have it. No, Miss Ye’s parents must know, right?
After all, it is the housekeeper of Ye Mansion who is here, so he can be regarded as a matchmaker in a sense, right? Zhao Benzhu comforted himself.
Seeing that his brother had made up his mind, Zhao Liangcai also relaxed.
"Didn't my parents say it a long time ago that if you want to get a wife, just marry the one you like? If you like it,
My parents like it. "
"You said just now that you won't take concubines. A man should do what he says."
Zhao Benzhu has seen the love between father and mother for so many years, and naturally he yearns for this kind of relationship.
"Of course, I will do better than dad."
Zhao Liangcai thought about the relationship between his father and mother. His father put his mother first in everything, loved and pampered her.
"Okay, then we have to prepare for the marriage proposal."
Witnessing it with his own eyes, Lu Ming happily clapped his hands in celebration, "You want to treat us to a feast at the wedding!"
Zhao Liangcai was amused, "That's natural. Let's arrange it for Lu Ming."
When Zhao Benzhu realized this, his face turned red and he lowered his head slightly. He was so excited that he forgot that there was a child there.
Wu You held the bamboo cup and took a sip of sweet water to moisten his throat.
Unexpectedly, this trip also led to the marriage between Miss Ye and Zhao Benzhu, but he still had first-hand information.
After thinking about it again, I realized that the two of them were actually a good match. They made a good marriage and were quite happy.
The Ye family is a large one. In the past, they only stayed in Yingchuan and often participated in court affairs as counselors. Now, an important branch of the main family has directly entered the court as an official.
Since taking office, many pairs of eyes in Beijing have been staring at the Ye family, and Wu You is also paying special attention.
Now that the Ye family wants to get married to the new No. [-] candidate, it is even more eye-catching.
Fortunately, although Zhao Benzhu is ranked second, he has no foundation and is a kind person after contact.
I think the Ye family also wanted to play it safe and steady, at least they didn't have any evil intentions.
Wu You felt relieved and felt that this was a good marriage.
Moreover, Zhao Benzhu, whose surname is Zhao, often visits the Zhao family here.
I guess the Ye family also values this and wants to build a relationship with them and build a bridge.
That's fine, Lord
Trying to surrender to the royal family is like a big family like the Ye family uniting with other powerful ministers.
