Chang Yi sat down, nodded, and whispered back, "Yes, Shang Wenjin, the doctor of the Maritime Affairs Department."
Hu Xia was confused, "Why do you still care about the Maritime Affairs Department?"
Over the years, the Sea Affairs Department has been very good, and it has also been the first choice for some aristocratic families to plan for their children. Looking at Shang Wenjin's age, he was a little confused, which merchant was it
Chang Yi had already ordered tea and signaled Hu Xia to have some snacks. Hu Xia had no answer for her questions, so she could only pick up the snacks and listen to the next door.
Chang Yi listened to what was going on next door. Normally, no one dared to listen to the wall, but Rong Enqing was obviously not afraid of listening, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen a half-open box.
Rong Enqing suspected that his ears heard it wrong, "Huh? What did you say?"
Shang Wenjin said: "There is a daughter in the family who is of the age to get engaged."
Before he finished speaking, Rong Enqing interrupted. This time he really heard clearly. He began to reflect on himself. After becoming the Qingxian Marquis, he did not do serious business, but he never showed that he liked women. How could two people like each other? Everyone thinks he should have more concubines
Chang Yi choked on the tea in his mouth. He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed lightly to avoid attracting attention. His eyes were widened. No matter how powerful Mr. Shang is, what's the use? His son can't discipline him. Mr. Shang and Mr. Shang If people knew, they would be furious to death.
Hu Xia was a little dazed and whispered: "A concubine?"
Chang Yi recalled, "Daughter."
The merchant's second wife only has his legitimate daughter, but he has two concubines.
Hu Xia, "..."
He couldn't do anything like his legitimate daughter being a concubine, no, no matter whether his daughter was a legitimate daughter or a concubine, he would never let his daughter be a concubine. Even though there was a concubine in the family, he would never want his daughter to be a concubine.
How could the male master not know what kind of life the concubine was living.
Chang Yi was brushed against the lower limit. He was so lucky that he didn't get married and couldn't even drink the tea.
Rong Enqing stood up angrily, "I respect and love my wife. I have children and a daughter and I don't need a concubine."
After saying that, Rong Enqing walked out and saw Chang Yi. Rong Enqing's face became even more embarrassed, and he came over with some depression, "When did you come?"
Chang Yi smiled and said, "Listen to me."
Rong Enqing, "......"
Too bad, he is really not a lecherous person.
Shang Wenjin was even more embarrassed that he met the second son of the Zhou family and left quickly with a blush on his face.
In the evening, Chang Yi told his parents what happened today. Chang Yi clicked his tongue twice, "I don't even care about Mr. Shang's neat son. This child is unusually crooked."
Zhou Shuren glanced at him and said, "Now you know your father and I, okay."
Chang Yi smiled, "Yes, Dad, you are the best."
Chang Yi added: "In recent days, there have been a lot of people inviting sons. They are all for the purpose of selecting people for envoys."
When they were the first group, they would hide whenever they could. This time when they saw the benefits and benefits, they all rushed forward, and he was a little tired from dealing with them.
Zhou Shuren followed his beard and said, "Now is the time to test you. Whether you can reach the fourth rank in the future is crucial now. The emperor will throw a difficult problem to you, and he will keep an eye on you all the time."
Don't think that once you get promoted, it's all over. The real test is how to sit firmly.
Chang Yi is under a lot of pressure. Choosing people is very important, the balance of power, and not offending anyone. "My son understands."
Zhou Shuren saw that it was still early and said to his wife, "Chang Yi and I will go to the small study to chat for a while."
Zhulan flipped through the book without raising her head, "Okay."
There is a small study room of Zhulan in the main courtyard. The study room is basically filled with my wife's books and paintings. Zhou Shuren really doesn't have many things.
Changyi rarely comes to his mother's study. "Why has your mother collected so many books?"
Zhou Shuren did not explain, many of them were sent from the palace, and the knowledge points compiled by his wife had been sent, so there were more and more books at home. Zhou Shuren motioned to his son to sit down and explained all the family grievances he knew about in the capital. When used properly, it is a powerful tool that can solve many things.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Li came to the main courtyard and said, "I'm going to have a wife. Look, I'll go to my in-law's house the next day."
Zhulan, "I think you should be happy. You are going to have two daughters-in-law."
Ms. Li was indeed happy, "In a few years, a bunch of children will surround me and call me grandma, and my daughter-in-law will be happy just thinking about it."
Mrs. Zhao was envious. Her son was not yet married, and her sister-in-law had two daughters-in-law. Her only consolation was that her daughter was already married and was about to have a grandson.
In Zhoujiacun, Jiangjia Mulan touched her wedding dress carefully, the corners of her mouth curled wider and wider, she was finally getting married.
Dong Yiyi saw the wedding dress when she came in. The wedding dress had been prepared for a year. For more than a year, they said they didn't care, but in their hearts they hoped to get married soon. Their daughter was older than Jiang Du, even if the village was friendly to the Jiang family. Some people will also make irresponsible remarks.
Mu Lan raised her head and said, "Mom, are you done?"
Dong Yiyi smiled and nodded, handing the dowry list to her daughter, "This is the newly revised dowry list, take a look."
Mu Lan held the dowry list and said, "Mom, please don't take everything away for me. My brother is also getting married."
Dong Yiyi said: "I'm ready."
In the past two years, her father had been trying to compensate her. She didn't want to accept it at first, but then she thought that she couldn't avoid it. As long as her surname was Dong and as long as she was beneficial to the Dong family, she couldn't avoid it. She thought about it and accepted the compensation.
Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to come up with a good dowry and betrothal gift. After her son and daughter got married, she and her husband would live their own small life.
Mu Lan carefully packed up the wedding dress. This material was sent by Aunt Zhou.
In Beijing, Ming Teng couldn't tell the benefit of being tanned and blushing, "I thought Chaizi suited you very well, so I bought it. Do you like it?"
Liu Jia's fingertips were a little hot when she held the hairpin. The pearls on the hairpin were very big. "It must be a waste of money. It must have cost a lot of money."
Ming Teng's ears were a little red, "A hairpin matches you, money is not important."
Look at this arrogance, Ming Teng is really not short of money. Not counting the income from the property to his name every year, he gets a lot of rewards alone.
Liu Jia curled her fingertips and finally suppressed what she said. It was not appropriate to say it now, "Yeah."
Ming Teng left after not staying for a while. He still had errands to hand over.
Liu Jia put the hairpin in the jewelry box. Regardless of whether the hairpin was noble or not, she cared more about this feeling. Ming Teng only paid attention to her preferences because she was in his heart. For her dowry, she had already stopped buying it for a long time. Jewelry that I like.
The second sister-in-law came in and said, "She's back to her soul."
Liu Jia's face turned even redder, "Second sister-in-law."
Ning Ting smiled and said, "Ever since Ming Teng left the capital, your soul has been missing. When this man comes back, your soul is back, and your heart has flown away again."
Liu Jia stared at her second sister-in-law's belly, "I'm waiting for the baby to be born."
Ning Ting laughed even louder, "My child was born and you got married."
Liu Jia's face turned pink, "Second sister-in-law."
In the Zhou family, Zhulan handed the post she received to Zhao, "Look at the post."
