A few days later, a message came from the front courtyard, delivered by Xiao Guizi.
It said that Ye Zao's brother, Ye Feng, was engaged to a girl from the Jueluo Clan. Her family was desperately poor, but she was clever and not a drag on anyone.
"Isn't my brother supposed to be taking the imperial examination? How come he's getting engaged instead?" Ye Zao was surprised.
Mainly because she hadn't grown up here since childhood, it would take her quite a while to... really pay attention to the relatives at home.
"Miss is joking, the examination is one thing, getting married is another. He's not delaying either, right? Next year, when your brother becomes a Jinshi, getting married then wouldn't it be perfect? How does that saying go? 'A night of bridal chamber flowers and candles, the gold list bears his name?'" Xiao Guizi said, shaking his head with a grin.
