When Yue Youhe first arrived at the Su family, she was cautious everywhere, but after a few days, she found that neither Er Auntie nor You Jin or the servants of the Su family had treated her deliberately, as if she had always been in the Su family. People living in general. This made You He greatly relieved. In addition, the people around her were also blood relatives, so the helplessness and strangeness of first arriving in Luohe Prefecture gradually dissipated.
"If Sister Youhe is willing, you can go to the study with us to read and write." Because of Youjin's words, Youhe also started to read and write in the study in the front yard every day, and practiced embroidery with Su's in the afternoon. Sun didn't have much time for her to sympathize with life.
Su Shi looked at the dense stitches of the pink butterfly play flower veil embroidered by You He, and nodded with satisfaction: "Your mother really took pains to teach you, not to mention the other side, even this veil doesn't know how much better than yours. How strong is a little sister!"
You He was also happy when she praised her, but she still said with a smile: "Second Auntie is too famous, but she is just fooling around on weekdays, how can she get on the table?"
Su Shi really likes You He, and feels pity for her experience. She patted her tender hands and said, "When you came, your mother specifically explained that I should find a marriage for you that you are happy with, Er Auntie. I'm not ashamed of you, marriage matters, you can't marry blindly, right?" Su Shi had already been brainwashed by a few crooked daughters in the family, and felt that the major matters of marriage should be the children's own willingness.
"Since Mother said to let Er Auntie be the master, I will listen to Er Auntian." You He blushed and answered with her head half-drooped. Although Han's temperament is very refreshing, You He is indeed squeamish. Although her temperament is good, she is always a girl's family, and her face is thinner. However, before she came to Luohe Prefecture, her mother did mention to herself that the best way to avoid future troubles was to get married as soon as possible.
The more she looked at it, the more she liked it, so she urged You Jin several times to help her find a good family.
You Jin was really a little helpless by the Su family: "Mother! I'm not a matchmaker, how can I show you Sister You He?" The most people she can contact every day are the guests in the dim sum shop. Or is it a long-term worker at home, where can there be a suitable family to look at? "I managed to get Sister Youhe's household registration under our family's name. You must let me rest for two days, right?"
Seeing You Jin say this, Su Shi had to say: "Then you take a break, but don't delay! Your sister You He is sixteen, but you can't afford to delay!"
***
But sometimes there is something like fate that you didn't force to get, just inadvertently, fate came.
It has been nearly two months since You He arrived at Wuli Bridge. From February in early spring to March in Yangchun, You He has already integrated into the environment of the Su family, and even occasionally followed You Yin and others to the dim sum shop in Luohe Prefecture. To greet guests, to help.
The little girls in the Su family are all good-looking. Most of the people who come to buy snacks are from women's families. Naturally, they have noticed that Su Jiaxiang has recently added a young girl of fifteen or sixteen years old to help in the store. Many families have unmarried people of school age. The young men's family is also a little excited, and some have even begun to inquire about the news with the other girls in the store: "Who is the little girl who helped you in the store yesterday? Are you married?"
Shannai smiled and explained to the curious woman in front of her: "This is my cousin, she just came from out of town, and she hasn't gotten married yet!" Since the Su family has now changed her surname to Su, she simply asked You He to be her. The identity of a cousin also avoids some unnecessary troubles.
I heard that another unmarried girl of the right age came to the Su family in Wuliqiao, and the matchmakers in the vicinity were excited, and the Su family began to welcome the matchmaker to the door again.
This time, the Su family was determined to choose a good marriage for You He. After careful selection, there were still three descendants left. The Su family really didn’t know how to choose, so she asked You Jin and Yulan for help. : "I'm just looking at whichever one is fine, but I really don't know what to do! You guys are here to help too!"
Young Jinbian teased Xiao Babian and said angrily, "Can't you do it with your own hands? Why don't you need us?" During this time, the Su family was almost like a demon, and she talked every day, Young Jin I was so annoyed that my ears were getting calluses.
"You child!" Su Shi rolled her eyes at You Jin with a smile: "This is a big event in your sister You He's life, but nothing can go wrong. What's wrong with me?" Seeing that You Jin ignored her, she asked for help. His eyes turned to Magnolia.
Yulan embroidered the bellyband for Xiaoba, and said without raising her head: "Since the wife thinks it is so difficult to choose, then let Biao girl choose by herself!"
"Sir is right, we can only help Sister Youhe with palms and eyes. In the end, we have to get married. It is Sister Youhe who has to live with someone for a lifetime, or she has to be happy!" As long as this matter can be dealt with After solving it, Young Jin felt that it was alright, and she could do whatever she wanted.
Su Shi himself has no experience in seeing each other, and You Heben is not her own daughter. If she is wronged, she will not be able to say anything to Han Shi, but she also agrees with You Jin and Yulan. Holly came to discuss the matter.
But You He is a thin-skinned little girl after all. Even when she was in Dingyuan before, she faintly knew that her mother was looking at others for her, but how could she have discussed it with herself so frankly? Sitting next to the Su family, his face blushed, and he lowered his head and muttered, "But it's up to Auntie to make the decision."
Youjin almost didn't spit out a sip of the tea. If it was up to her mother and Youhe, she would probably have no results for three or five years. She put down the teacup and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. She smiled and said, "Otherwise, this is the case. In two days, I will find someone to inquire about the family background of these people, after the character and temperament, let's go to see each other quietly, then which one does Sister You He like, how about which one we choose?"
"I think it's ok. After all, those matchmakers are all tongue-in-cheek. Even if you are a three-pointer, she can give you ten points. It's better for us to find someone to inquire about it in private." Yulan herself back then I have also seen each other, and naturally understand the routines of these matchmakers, and fully agree with Young Jin's ideas.
Seeing the two of them say this, Su Shi and You He naturally have no opinion. Seeing that there was nothing to do with her, You He turned around and went back to her boudoir, who had been ashamed for a long time.
The matter of seeing each other and the issue of dowry have been resolved.
After inquiring and seeing each other in many ways, the marriage of You He was finally decided. The later son's name was Liu Zhuoting, he was nineteen this year, and his family opened a noodle shop in Luohe Prefecture. Liu Zhuoting himself was studying in a private school in the city, and he just passed the Tongsheng exam last spring.
"The family is not very good. Although the noodle restaurant has been open for some years, it is only a matter of food and clothing. In addition, the Liu family has two young daughters, who are only seven or eight years old this year. If Sister Youhe gets married, I am afraid that Life is a bit difficult." When You He wanted to choose Liu's family, You Jin said something like this seriously, after two months of getting along, You Jin knew that You He was also pampered and grew up, and her temperament and neatness The Han family is completely different. She has a weak temperament. If her in-laws are in their prime, and there are two sister-in-law's family below, they will be somewhat sad.
But Youhe fell in love with the gentle and elegant Liu Zhuoting: "I just think he's very nice..." Thinking of the clear man she saw on the street that day, Youhe blushed.
Looking at her cousin's young girl's heart-warming appearance, You Jin sighed and said, "I said what I should say, if you insist, Sister You He, then we have nothing to say."
When the matchmaker came to deliver the good news, the Liu family's hostess, the Qin family, raised her mouth slightly in disbelief: "Then the Su family agreed?" Buying and selling, but the eldest son's annual grooming has already consumed half of the family's income, plus there are two young daughters, Qin Shi thought that the Su family would never agree, but he didn't think so. It really happened!
The matchmaker laughed from ear to ear, and said with joy, "Since I said that, it must be the Su family who nodded happily, and the sister-in-law just waited for her daughter-in-law's tea with peace of mind!" The birthdays of the two are about to be matched. After crossing the Ming Road, the good day will be three days before the Dragon Boat Festival, on the second day of the fifth lunar month.
There is only less than a month away from the good days of the two families. Although the Su family has great intentions, the Liu family does not have much money. You He is embroidering wedding dresses in the room every day, and the two families are for their two children. The marriage is very busy.
On April 29th, there are still three days before the big day of the Su and Liu families. In the afternoon, You Jin led two people with ugly faces back, and asked people to invite You He over.
Seeing You He coming, You Jin said to the two who stood facing down: "She will be your master from now on, go and see You He." The two bowed slightly and said yes, and Qi Qi moved towards You He knelt down: "I have seen Miss You He."
"This is?" When You He arrived, she saw two women kneeling down to her, a little confused.
After pulling You He to sit down, You Jin introduced her to her: "The older one's surname is Ge, the younger one is Chunhua, and I will follow you to Liu's house." He chose two dowry servants, the older one was only in his early thirties, and the younger one was only fourteen or fifteen years old. I don't know if it was intentional or not. Both of them had ordinary looks.
"How is this made?" As soon as she heard that it was for her dowry, You He quickly refused: "How can an ordinary person marry a daughter and bring a servant, I'm afraid it will be a joke at that time!" Although he said so, However, You He is still very grateful to You Jin for thinking of herself like this.
You Jin motioned Aunt Song to take the two to settle down, then took You He to the backyard, and after entering You He's boudoir, the two sat down: "Sister You He, the Liu family is not having a good time now, if There are no servants, such a big family, you have to do laundry and cooking every day, and you have to serve your in-laws and take care of your sister-in-law, which is too hard!"
Young Jin pulled a pair of hands that were completely different from her own, and then showed her the hands that still had a thin layer of calluses after taking care of themselves for more than two years: "You think about how I used to do things every day when I was at Yue's house, don't say On the other hand, I have maintained these hands for two years, and they are still very rough, don't you feel sorry for your hands?"
Seeing her ask like this, You He was really speechless for a while. She was raised in a pampered manner since she was a child. Although there were no servants at home, her grandmother and mother were both neat people, and she was not used for everything. Worry, if she really wants her to handle these things in the future, I'm afraid it will be too much, right
Seeing her hesitation, You Jin chased after the victory: "That's why I chose two people for you, not to mention the other side, anyway, I can help you with the trivial matters at home, and if you are wronged in the Liu family, there are still others. Can I stand by your side and protect you?" Then he took out a red deed with You He's name written on it from his arms: "This is the dowry that my mother and I prepared for you, and you also take it away. already."
You He is also literate, and when he unfolds it, it turns out to be ten acres of fertile land five or six miles west of Luohe Prefecture! Like a hot potato, he immediately put it back into the young gold's hands: "This is too precious, I can't take it!" Ten acres of fertile land would cost seventy or eighty taels of silver, how could she take such a valuable thing
Youjin resolutely put the Hongqi back into her hands: "Although it is not much, it is necessary to have some belongings close to you. If you have to rely on his Liu family for every drink and peck, it will always be low."
You Heben is also a little bit attached to the second room. After all, it was not considered close at first, but now seeing Auntie and her cousin thinking about everything for herself, her eyes could not help but turn red: "You Jin, me!" If it wasn't for the second room to help , I am afraid that I have already fallen into the fire pit, how can I find such a good husband today, and my relatives prepare such a precious dowry for me
