Eldest Sister, Why Haven’t You Married Yet

Chapter 160: The old trilemma

Views:

Young Jin had already agreed that Su shi wanted to talk to Young Pearl, but unfortunately these few days were busy, and it was delayed again for a while.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the grass and trees gradually began to be bleak, but the grains were heavy, and the golden yellow was the season of harvest.

Today is the day when the Su Family Zhuangzi opened the sickle. Everyone in the Su Family went to Houjiawan to "rework through labor". Even the now-settled Young Treasure and the eight-month-pregnant Young Yin also stood by the family. It's rare to come out and let the wind out.

"The days go by so fast, in a blink of an eye, Little Eight is almost eight years old." Sitting under the shade of the green brick house beside the lotus pond, feeling the cool autumn wind, Young Yin stroked her raised belly and watched Looking at the sisters not far away, she smiled.

The young treasure sitting beside her also smiled and watched her husband, who had never touched the sun with his fingers since he was born, also happily followed the second brother-in-law to the field to harvest crops, and said with a smile, "I heard from my mother-in-law. Children grow up when they see the wind, and when the second sister gives birth to a child, I am afraid that there will be more emotions at that time!"

The two sisters chatted with each other, and the maidservant next to her was watching from a distance, and she did not come up to quarrel with her own wife.

As for the fields of the Su family, there are two more sons-in-laws, Han Li and Wei Si, both wearing fine cotton bunts. With Han Erhua, who is already eleven years old, and Su Kang, who is almost eight years old, the four men stand in a row. Qi wielded the sickle to cut the rice. The rest of them all had working experience, but Wei Si was working in the fields for the first time in his life, so he couldn't help being a little clumsy. What my brother-in-law is not good at!"

That made Han Erhua, who was on his right, also grinned.

Wearing a big straw hat, Wei Si breathed heavily and wiped away the beads of sweat that flowed from his forehead. His lips were a little dry, and he said with a smile, "There are specialties in surgery, and I can't do everything." Today It turned out that he heard his wife mention the Su family's opening of a sickle, and after reading books for so long at home, he also wanted to come out and let the wind out.

Even though I was sweating all over my body, my mouth was dry, and the bamboo-green fine cotton bunt had already soaked through, but I felt refreshed, and the dull air lingering around me was also cleared away, and I just felt comfortable throughout my body. .

You Ling, Youluo and the other four children were also led by You Jin, wielding a sickle from the other end to cut rice. The sisters were all dressed in neat clothes, such as waterfall blue silk and simply tied two braids, for the sake of To prevent the hands from being roughened, it is also a pair of deerskin gloves per person, which is also cheap.

"Eldest sister, can I go pick sweet-scented osmanthus after harvesting the rice?" Seven-year-old You Duan was at the age of play, and before the rice was harvested, she wanted to shake the sweet-scented osmanthus.

Youjin looked at the rice that was no more than a small banlong, and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "After harvesting the rice and going back to wash, avoid the sun and go again." Although it is already autumn, Qiuhu's name is not for nothing Yea, the sun is still very hot at noon.

Seeing that the sun was getting higher, everyone in the Su family went to the other courtyard of the Su family in Houjiawan. The servants of the Su family in the other courtyard also prepared hot water and fragrant pancreas for the masters to wash.

"It's been a long time since I came to Houjiawan, but today it's rare to be looser." Youzhu and Youjin walked side by side, talking to each other, and the servants of the Su family followed the master from a distance without disturbing Master's cleanliness.

Young Jin looked around and saw a bumper harvest near and far, and suddenly felt open-minded and relaxed, and said, "I am often locked at home, so I have to come out and walk around a bit, otherwise people will be suffocated."

Youzhu was originally an outgoing and lively character. She likes to have tea with her classmates after school or Xiu Mu. However, it has been a little unusual recently. Every time she comes back from school, she learns to play with her by her side. Taking care of the general affairs made You Jin see some thoughts.

"Nowadays, there are many capable people in the family. We have worked hard for so many years, and we should relax and relax." Youjin looked at Youzhu with a smile, and the sisters had already walked to a pavilion built by the Su family and sat down. , the servant still followed from a distance: "Eldest sister's biggest wish is that you can all be happy. As for the outside affairs, it is only if the eldest sister comes to worry about it."

When Youzhu heard the elder sister say this, she knew that the elder sister was guessing her thoughts, her jade face was slightly red, and she said, "I am sixteen now, and I can share the burden for the elder sister." She knew the elder sister well. How much he has paid for this family over the years, so he can't bear to worry about the family after the eldest sister gets married.

You Jin reached out and nodded Xiaozhu's forehead: "You! Of course I have to worry about our family's affairs. The elder sister knows what you are thinking, but even if you get married, it is the daughter of the Su family, isn't it? After discussing with my mother, I divided the family property into two parts, one in Luohe Prefecture and one in the capital city, the one in Luohe Prefecture will be taken care of by my mother and you and Young Yin together, and the one in the capital city will be taken care of by the mother. I'll take care of it, how?"

It was after several days of negotiation between You Jin and the Su family that such a charter was reached. The Su family’s property was originally created by the three sisters, Young Jin, Young Yin and You Zhu. Even if they were married, they would still be in Luohe Prefecture. Nowadays, there are special people in charge of various industries in the family. Even if they manage them, they only reconcile the accounts every month, and occasionally go to the industry to inspect. Besides, Han Li and Xu Maolin are not pedantic people, so they will not object to them. People help with the family business.

As for the young treasure who married into a literati family, with Wei Si's talent and learning, it is unknown that she will earn a title for her in the future. In addition, Youbao has a soft temperament. Now her dowry shop, "Drunken Rouge", which she opened with Han's, has opened a second branch. For Youbao's consideration, she was excluded.

"But..." Xiaozhu was still a little hesitant. After all, the woman was married and still got involved in her family's affairs. This made people outside know that they were afraid that there would be a lot of discussion

Seeing her hesitation, You Jin smiled and said, "Life is to live for oneself, what about other people's words? Let's just close the door on our own family affairs and live a good life." May my sister delay her lifelong happiness for the sake of her family, as long as her family lives happily, no matter what his mess

The Su family now has nearly 500 mu of fertile land and another 300 mu of dry land. After the autumn harvest, more than 20,000 catties of grain have been put into the granary. It is another bumper year. Many long-term workers have also received the grace of the Lord's family and have been given three days off.

As for Xiaozhu, she finally turned the corner and figured it out. In October, the Xu family sent a matchmaker to the door to propose marriage, and the Su family responded.

Carefully put away the small set sent by the Xu family, the last big stone in Su's heart can be regarded as falling: "It can be regarded as set." The three problems were finally solved.

Now, the marriages of the eldest to the fifth of the Su family have all been decided. Except for the young silver who married Han Li, who had no official or half title, most of the others were settled from scholarly families. Among them, the eldest daughter was the most senior. , It is determined that the upstart of the dynasty, the Duke of Luo County, Xiao Linyu. Many people in Luohe Prefecture watched with cold eyes that the marriage of the Su family girl was gradually settled, and they thought, if anyone could marry the Su family girl, it would be with Mrs. Wei, Cui Shanchang, the third-class Hou Xu family, and others. The second-class county princes are all brothers-in-law!

Now there are only six, seven, eighty-three daughters left in the Su family and the only son of the Su family who has yet to be married, not to mention that the daughters of the Su family have already received a plaque from the Holy Emperor. When a girl gets married, she doesn't know how many people's eyes are attracted to her red makeup! There are more people who propose relatives.

However, Su Shi is not as ignorant of household affairs as she used to be. She also roughly knows that most people who come to propose marriage are for her own name, and she is becoming more and more attentive for the marriage of the remaining children, for fear Picking the wrong thing can cost a child's life.

Besides, on the Han family's side, Yue Wensheng's marriage has also been decided. It is the niece of Cui Shanchang from Luohe Prefecture, and his girlfriend's name is Cui Zhilan. The first one is good. She knows the text and hyphenation and is dignified. Because her mother died of illness three years ago, she has been filial piety for three years.

The Han family is also very satisfied with this marriage, and the Cui family is also very satisfied with Yue Wensheng, a young scholar, the two hit it off and set the wedding date in May next year. , now is the time to not be distracted. The Cui family was also a literati family, so they naturally understood the importance of being able to test, and agreed.

As for the marriage of the youngest son, Yue Wenyu, it was decided that the youngest daughter of the third master Huang’s family was named Huang Yun. She was only fourteen this year, and she was about the same age as Yue Wenyu. , Due to the custom of not having two marriages a year, and Huang Yun's still young age, the marriage of the two was set in February of the following year.

The marriage of the two sons has been settled, and there is good news that You He is happy from the Liu family. The Han family looks better and better in the second half of the year, and looks younger than when he first arrived in Luohe Prefecture two years ago. Seven or eight years old.

Besides, on the other side of the capital, Xiao Linyu took a two-month long vacation on the grounds of marriage leave.

Today, the sage and Xiao Linyu have a two-point friendship in private. They naturally know that he has a fiancée in his hometown that he has been thinking about for a long time. With a wave of his big hand, he approved him for a two-month long vacation, and also gave him six pairs of Yu Ruyi, Shang Eight pieces of material, two red coral plants, and six pairs of hi bracelets were used to make a lot of appearances for him.

On the ninth day of November, there were 16 days before the big wedding. Xiao Linyu rushed back to Luohe Prefecture. This was his wedding with You Jin, so he naturally had to prepare everything by himself.

In Luohe Prefecture, the former Xiao family courtyard was later bought back by Xiao Linyu as Yu San. Although no one lived in it, there were always servants to take care of it. Everything was fine and it was used as a new house. Suitable.

Yu received a letter from his son as early as October, saying that he was going to have a feast of guests in the city. He also estimated that his son was very valuable now. When he wanted to come, the wedding banquet scene was quite big, so he planned it carefully, for fear of losing his son's face.
