They are an unmarried couple, can they still be like this? !
Yu Tang was dumbfounded.
Ms. Xu didn't take it seriously, and continued: "I don't talk to him anymore, so he can't do anything. I have to try my best to coax me, just tell me this and that, I think he knows a lot, so I slowly Start talking to him again."
Yu Tang heard two pink and jade-carved little dolls pop up in his head, one was angry with a straight face, and the other was coaxing people around, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, saying: "Isn't it Because of this, you know about so many wealthy families?"
Miss Xu smiled embarrassingly.
Yu Tang thinks this is very good.
In any case, it's best if two people have something to say.
In two lives, she has seen many couples who have nothing to say except housework and children.
Yu Tang said: "Then what happened later? Did you start to like to think wildly?"
"It's not all!" Speaking of this, Ms. Xu became a little angry again, "It was Yin Mingyuan who spent a lot of time writing policy theories when he was in the Jinshi examination. When I asked him what, he always said 'hmmmm I'm very unhappy. Didn't the eldest granddaughter of the emperor die at that time? Many people clamored to make the third son of the emperor as the heir, so he gave me homework and asked me to guess what would happen in the end. .I find it very interesting, and I gradually developed a habit, and I think this is more fun than many things.”
Yu Tang thought for a while before he understood what Miss Xu said.
It was difficult for the sons of the emperor to have heirs, and only two adult sons survived, but the two sons also had difficulties. The second son of the emperor had no sons, but only gave birth to two daughters, and one died. son. In addition, the queen died of illness for almost ten years, and the central palace was empty. Whether it was the establishment of the eldest son or the establishment of the first son, there were always turmoil in the court.
The empress dowager wants to draft a draft and add a few more people to the emperor's harem.
Because of this incident, many wealthy families are behind the scenes.
Yu Tang was slightly taken aback, and said, "Master Yin is Enke?"
Fifty beautiful women were selected into the palace that year, but the emperor did not accept concubines, but gave these beautiful women to his two sons. The empress dowager was not happy, and the next year was the empress dowager's 60th birthday. In order to please the empress dowager, the emperor specially opened Enke.
That's why Yin Mingyuan worked so hard and didn't have time to play with Miss Xu.
Ms. Xu nodded, and said aggrievedly: "My father originally wanted him to leave the competition, but he insisted on going to Kaoenke, and he said he would not stay with me. People in the Yin family thought I wanted him to go to the exam. The old lady of their family even drove over from Huayin on purpose and called me over to talk. My mother was so angry that she couldn't fall asleep for several days, thinking about how to withdraw from the Yin family, and then it was Li Lao'an who came The family talked about it with my mother, and Yin Mingyuan was named on the gold list again, so my mother didn't go to withdraw the marriage." At this point, she became happy again, "However, it is not completely fruitless. The people of the Yin family promised to wait for me to get married. Now, Yin Mingyuan and I will go out to live alone. When Yin Mingyuan can become a third-rank official, we will go back to the Yin family’s old house. Hehehe, some people will never be a third-rank official in their entire lives. I think we have May live forever in the house where I marry."
Such conditions are really shocking!
Yu Tang hurriedly said: "Why do you want to move out? Does their family have a house in the capital?"
Yin Mingyuan is now a good scholar, if he had a house in Beijing, it would not be the case.
Ms. Xu nodded and said: "You don't know, there are more girls in the Yin family than boys, and a boy is like a golden treasure. Many of them were raised by their sisters before they became adults. In order to continue the inheritance, the Yin family Girls were raised as boys, reading and writing aside, they also took care of the family's shop and general affairs. When it came to Yin Mingyuan's place, it was even more extreme. His second uncle took four concubines back and forth and only gave birth to one daughter. Wanting to adopt a son in the clan, he couldn't find a suitable one, Yin Mingyuan still had to shoulder two houses...
Have you ever seen that whenever there is trouble in the Yin family, all the aunts and grandmothers in their family will come back as long as they can, and the meeting hall can be full of women.
Otherwise, why would the second elder brother of the Yin family come to Huai'an to become the magistrate
It's just that they don't like those aunts and grandmas in their family meddling in their family's affairs. "
Then she complained: "Yin Mingyuan is good, but they can't stand the fact that their family has so many aunts and grandparents! I don't know if my grandfather is cheating me or caring about me."
Yu Tang has really learned a lot!
Other people's families are all married women. Regardless of the affairs of the mother's family, the Yin family is all upside down.
She couldn't help asking: "Then you really don't plan to marry Yin Mingyuan?"
"How is that possible!" Ms. Xu jumped up and said, "Don't say that our two families have a marriage contract. Even if there is no marriage contract, Yin Mingyuan is so kind to me. If he comes to propose marriage, I will definitely agree. I am It's a little annoying about their family, especially in the capital, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhang are all aunts of the Yin family, and they like to come to my house for everything, and they always want to give me advice, I don't like it very much."
Yu Tang's heart moved, and he said, "Old Madam Zhang?"
"That's right!" Ms. Xu said lazily, "The Yin family is also very famous for picking young masters. I won't talk about Mrs. Li, you already know. Mrs. Zhang is the wife of Pei Xiaguang's mentor Zhang Ying. She and Li The old lady is a cousin, that's why the Li family is so fond of Pei Xiaguang, and they want to marry a daughter to Pei Xiaguang! Now that the Li family is gone, the Yin family will definitely not let Pei Xiaguang go so easily. Just wait and see, Yang San It's really hard to say whether the wife came to our Xu family to say kiss or to the Yin family to see her son-in-law."
Yu Tang was sweating, hesitantly said: "Then why are you in front of Mrs. Yang San..."
"Like a little daughter-in-law?!" Miss Xu answered with a nonchalant smile.
Yu Tang's face turned red.
Ms. Xu sighed, and said: "Isn't there nothing I can do? My family had already discussed with the Yin family, and we will get married in September this year. The old lady of the Yin family came to the capital, separated from Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhang. Wudi came to ask my family about the marriage, my mother has a straight temper, and I don't want to please each other, so I just want to avoid the limelight. Yin Mingyuan knew that I was in a difficult situation, so he entrusted me to Mrs. Yang San, who came back to her hometown to handle errands, and let me come out. Let's relax. Mrs. Yang San was afraid that something might go wrong, so she stared at me with good eyes. If I don't pretend to be good, I'm afraid she will put me in Yang's house for confession, and send me back when she returns! "
Yu Tang laughed out loud.
Shuangtao brought in a maid named Ah Fu who was next to Miss Xu.
"Miss!" She saluted Yu Tang and Miss Xu respectfully, and said, "The second young lady of the Peng family heard that you are also here, so she sent her mother-in-law to greet you. The lady came to visit you together."
Without even thinking about it, Ms. Xu said: "I came here with the aunt of the Yin family, you go and tell her, I'm afraid I can't do it today, I'll visit her after the blessing meeting tomorrow."
Ah Fu bowed his knees to salute, and stepped back.
Miss Xu explained to Yu Tang: "The Peng family is very domineering. My mother doesn't like it very much, so she doesn't like my dealings with the girls of the Peng family."
That being the case, why marry the daughter of the clan to the Peng family
It can be seen that every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite.
She didn't want to talk more about this with Miss Xu, so she changed the subject: "I'll help you ask when the third master will go to greet Mr. Pei Lao'an? Maybe we can run into each other."
Miss Xu kept saying yes.
Yu Tang sent Shuangtao to see Ah Ming, and asked her to tell Pei Yan that Miss Xu wanted to see Pei Yan, so that Miss Xu would not intrude and cause more trouble. As for whether Pei Yan wants to see Miss Xu, it is up to him to decide.
Miss Xu didn't know how Yu Tang confessed to Shuangtao in private, and after talking with Yu Tang for a long time, the fifth and fourth misses of the Pei family came over hand in hand.
"I didn't expect Ms. Xu to be earlier than us." The fourth lady said in a clear and clear voice, asking about Yu Tang's birthday horoscope, and gave Yu Tang a red lacquer box carved with happy eyebrows, "We met on the road. When I arrived at Mrs. Ji, I brought them here for you. You wrote it tonight, put it in a box and sealed it, and took it to Mrs. Ji when you went to greet the old An in the morning, and everyone will use the same box. , no one knows which box belongs to which family."
This is thoughtful.
Yu Tang smiled and said: "I was worried before, but I didn't expect that, as Miss Xu said, I was worrying unnecessarily."
Fifth Miss hurriedly asked what happened.
Yu Tang told her what Miss Xu had said to him before.
Fourth Miss smiled and talked to Miss Xu.
Everyone said one sentence to another, and the room was very lively.
Mrs. Chen stood in the hall and listened to a few words, then returned to her east room with a smile on her face.
Mrs. Chen, who was supporting her, settled Mrs. Chen on the bedside and sat down. Turning around to pour tea for her, she said with a smile: "Miss is much more sensible now than before. Although she was considerate and filial in the past, she always had a childish air." , but now he can talk to anyone no matter what, which makes people like him.”
"No." Mrs. Chen replied, and said to Mrs. Chen, "I think the matter of the Wu family and the Wei family should be told to Lao An. Although it is a favor of the Pei family, it is because of us, the third master of the Pei family. Someone will arrange a place for the Wu family and the Wei family. You should let the master know about this, and if you have the opportunity, you should thank the third master of the Pei family in person."
Just now, Mrs. Wei's mother-in-law came to visit Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen thought she was the same as the Wu family, and asked her to find a way to help them arrange a place to stay on the eighth day of April. She never thought that Mrs. Wei came to thank her of. The Wei family, like the Wu family, came late and had no place to rest. Knowing that Yu's mother and daughter came to the temple with the Pei family's family members, they wondered whether to use the Yu family's face to mention it to the steward of the Pei family. , but ran into Hu Xing head-on, Hu Xing immediately went to see Pei Yan after knowing their purpose.
In this way, the steward of the Pei family vacated a room for them in the outer courtyard.
Not only Wei's family, but also Wu's family also benefited.
"It's at Pei Lao'an's place, and I should go to thank you." Mrs. Chen thought further than Chen, "It's no wonder that there are many people. The arrangement of Mr. Pei San is probably because of Pei Lao'an On face."
