Hearing Xu Baihu's background, Chang curiously wondered why Niu would agree to this marriage: "Xu Baihu is getting old and has a few children, so he doesn't want to spend his life on the future." Le> Wen ". し" In addition, Xu Baihu is already over forty. It’s good to live to fifty in the age of lack of medical care and medicine, and to live to sixty is considered a longevity. If something happens to him, several children will suffer.
Tong's face sneered: "Niu wants to be an official's wife." It is not Tong's who can see through this, but Tang Xiaomei.
The Chang family frowned and said, "This Niu family has a bad temperament, so you can't harm some of the Xu family's children." The Xu family still has five children! If he was harmed by Niu, it would be Tong's sin.
The Tong family smiled and said, "Relax, Xu Baihu is not a soft-headed man. On the contrary, this man has a good idea. He wants to transfer to the place, but also wants to save more money for his three sons. Now that he knows the true face of the Niu family. , Will definitely guard her." The most important thing is that the Niu family can't regenerate. Without children, it is impossible to win over Xu Baihu with any means.
After a pause, Tong said, "If Weiqi hadn't written to ask about this, I wouldn't want to bother about it."
Chang's smile disappeared after hearing this: "Weiqi still misses this woman?" If so, there is really no cure.
"No, I think Niu had a game with him, and wanted her to have a good result." To this, Tong was also helpless. But if Niu's matter is not resolved, she is afraid that Cui Weiqi will be thinking about it all the time. Tang Xiaomei knew about this and also helped her out. Therefore, I chose this Xu Baihu in the fastest time.
Knowing that this woman was lying to him, she still tried her best to her. To say that it sounds good is sentimental and righteous, and that it is ugly is Cui Weiqi is stupid. But it's not her son, and Chang is not bad at saying more about this: "Then how many dowries are you going to give?"
Tong said: "Weiqi put together fifteen hundred taels of silver, so let's give her this number!" Because of Tong Fang's reminder, Tong didn't care about it anymore. Not only that, she also stopped giving Cui Weiqi money.
For ordinary girls, the dowry of fifteen hundred taels of silver is already a huge sum of money. At the beginning, her dowry totaled no more than ten taels of silver, which was already a lot. Like Tong, the original dowry consisted of two quilts and two clothes, but nothing else.
Chang asked: "Weiqi said before that he would give Niu 10,000 taels of silver to dowry, but now he only gives 1,500 taels. What should he do with the rest? I will give it slowly later?" If this is the case, it is better to give it once Finish.
"I just wrote to him and asked him to hand in his salary in the future. He can't be a big man, and his wife and children want us to help raise them." This can be regarded as a lesson learned by the Tong family. Cui Weiqi's salary is not much, less than a thousand taels a year. But only by making Cui Weiqi aware of the responsibility on his shoulders can he be truly mature and sensible.
Chang Shi smiled and said: "It should have been this way, I can't ignore his wife and children for a wild woman." After this incident, Tong Shi has grown up.
After talking about Cui Weiqi, Tong said, "Sister-in-law, I want Qianqian to go to the capital with you."
The two are so close. When Tong mentioned this, Chang knew what she meant: "Do you want to marry Qianqian to the capital?" Cui Qianqian looks good and has a good temperament. The most important thing is Zhien. Illustrated. Anyone likes such a child. Had it not been for Feng Dajun's desire to let Feng Zhixi marry Liuer, she would have wanted to hire Cui Qianqian as her daughter-in-law. Of course, this was just a thought in her heart, and never told anyone.
Tong nodded and said, "Well, marry her in the capital, and you will see it if you want to meet in the future." If you marry in Gaocheng, it is not easy to see each other. The girl she brought up, how willing.
Chang did not postpone, and asked, "Then you did not ask Qianqian, what kind of marriage does she want to marry?" This is very important. If they choose what Cui Qianqian doesn't like, wouldn't it be a waste of time. They are fine if they are tired, because they are afraid that Cui Qianqian will be delayed.
Tong said with some worry: "She doesn't want to marry a soldier who is fighting." Cui Qianqian wants to marry a scholar, but Cui Mo is a military commander, and the scholars he knows have not slapped him. Therefore, in Haocheng, I have never found a suitable one.
Chang Shi smiled and said: "It is probably the shadow of her father's affairs. Thinking of marrying a scholar, you don't have to worry about it. Cheng, when I get to the capital, I will ask people to inquire carefully, and I can always find her a satisfactory husband-in-law. of."
She also believed in Chang's vision, so Tong's dare to entrust this matter to her.
Towards noon, Tong did not go home.
In the evening, Qiqi came over to greet Chang's family. Chang Shi smiled and said, "Let you take good care of your baby in the house, don't walk around, just don't listen."
Qiqi smiled softly: "I'm so bored in the room, I might as well come over and talk to my mother." Qiqi has been with the Qiu family most of the time since she was a child. So she knew that the old man wanted someone to be with him most.
Chang's pulling Qiqi to her side: "Just now, your aunt Cui came and said that Xiaomei was also pregnant. Your aunt Cui said that the road was too bumpy and it was not safe to get pregnant, so she wanted to wait for Xiaomei to go to the capital after giving birth. I think she It makes sense. It’s okay to go to the capital later, the most important thing is the children. Qiqi, what do you think?"
In fact, Qiqi had also considered this question. Gaocheng was thousands of miles away from the capital. She would not regret her death when something happened on the road. I miss her mother because I lost my health when I was young, which made it difficult to give birth later.
Seeing that Qiqi didn't speak, Chang Shi smiled and said, "If you don't want to, then forget it." It's normal to be afraid of staying alone in Gaocheng.
Qiqi smiled and said, "Mother, I listen to you." Body is important, and everything else is secondary.
Chang Shi smiled and said, "I will ask you Aunt Cui to take care of you when I arrive." This daughter-in-law, she is too satisfied to be satisfied anymore. Gentle and general, butlers and directors can also afford it. I have to say that my husband has a good vision.
That night, Yuxi and his party spent the night in the wild. Yuxi didn't bring much of his own things, but he brought all the things he used on the road. Needless to say, the camp, like pots, pans, rice noodles, dried vegetables and other things, they are all complete.
The dry food eaten at noon and the evening meal were simple, but the mother and daughter all ate very fragrantly.
After eating, Liu'er smiled and said, "Mother, I didn't think the sausage was so delicious before!" The big pie at noon was so hard to eat. But her mother ate without frowning, she didn't dare to object.
Zaozao smiled and said: "There was a march because I had to arrive within the specified time and I didn't have time to cook. I ate five days of wowo. After arriving at the destination, I drank a bowl of cabbage soup. At that time, I felt this cabbage soup. , It's delicious on earth!"
Liu Er said dissatisfiedly: "Sister, you haven't told me about this!" What Zaozao told her was all interesting and fun, and didn't tell her any dangerous or bad things.
Zaozao said cheerfully: "There is nothing to say. Liu'er, mother is going to the capital in a month, you have to be prepared to endure hardship."
Liuer was not fooled: "Except for being a little bored, I think it's okay!" In the morning and in the evening, I can eat hot rice and vegetables, that is, dry food at noon. Liuer felt that she would definitely be able to adapt.
Yuxi smiled and said: "If you are bored, talk to your eldest sister, anyway, she has nothing to do." Zaozao doesn't like riding in a carriage, so she ran to ride a horse this afternoon.
Zaozao yelled: "What does it mean that I have nothing to do? Mother, I have a lot of things, OK?" Yun Qing asked her to follow Yuxi to Beijing to protect Yuxi and Liuer's safety. Therefore, she dare not relax for a moment.
Liu Er deliberately said: "Yes, eldest sister, you are very busy, you are busier than your mother. Don't worry, I won't disturb you."
"You are so heartless to say such a thing, let's see how I clean up you." After saying this, Zaozuo went to scratch Liu'er. The two sisters huddled together.
Li Jingang looked at the two sisters who were in a group from a distance, and smiled and said to Xu Zhen: "General, I have always heard that the second princess is a lady. Seeing that it is different from the rumors!"
Xu Zhenbai glanced at him and said: "If you make trouble with your sisters, isn't it a lady?"
Li Jingang said cheerfully: "I heard of those famous ladies, but they don't show their heads without showing up..." He had forgotten everything behind.
"If this is not showing up in front of your own family, it is not a lady but a wood." It is enough to show the best in front of outsiders. In front of my own family, I also pay attention to so much, so I don't feel tired.
Xu Zhen wanted Xu Yue to go to Beijing with him. In this way, there is also a chance to get along with the second princess, but it is a pity that Xu Yue is unwilling. The reason for Xu Yue's refusal is simple, she is afraid of Yuxi.
Li Jingang nodded and said, "You are right."
In the wild, Liu'er was reluctant to take a bath even if there was hot water, so after washing, she got into the carriage.
The palace lanterns at the four corners of the carriage were lit, the ground was covered with thick quilts, and one of the windows was mostly open. Lying in it is not much different from the bed at home.
Seeing Zaozao coming in, Liu'er asked, "Eldest sister, where is my mother?"
"Mother is still discussing with them, I don't want to come so soon." Zaozao didn't sleep during the day, which would make her sleepy: "Don't wait for mother, she thinks it will be late, let's go to sleep!"
Liuer nodded and said, "Okay."
Zaozuo fell asleep when she lay down. Liuer looked at the lamp and fell asleep after a while.
Yuxi talked about the meeting with several ministers, and then reviewed the papers again. It was only when he was done.
Walking out of the tent, it was dark outside. Upon seeing this, Yuxi said, "I'm afraid it will rain tomorrow." If the sky is full of stars, tomorrow will definitely be a sunny day, but now there is not a single star.
Meilan smiled and said, "No, it must be a sunny day tomorrow." If it rains, you will suffer if you rush on the road.
Yuxi smiled, and did not continue the topic.
"Wang Hao, you have to go on your way tomorrow, you can rest early!" In the palace, Yuxi basically went to bed at the end of Haishi, and got up after halfway through Maoshi. Sleep, not much.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "I can't sleep when I lie down so early." It's actually quite painful to not be able to sleep in bed. And the two daughters are in the car, and the sisters will have to wake up at that time.
Meilan didn't persuade anymore.
This will be free, and Yuxi has time to care about Jing Bai’s marriage, and asks Jing Bai who is busy outside to enter the camp, and asks: "Have you taken care of your business?"
Jing Bai said with some embarrassment: "The marriage certificate is already in hand. My mother said, wait until the wedding is held in the capital." Mom Zeng got the news, guarding that what Yuxi said would come true, and got the marriage certificate within three days. Up.
"Did you agree to Mrs. Duan's terms?" Otherwise, it would be impossible to get the marriage so fast.
Jing Bai took a careful look at Yuxi, and saw that there was no unpleasant expression on Yuxi’s face, she said, "Yes. My mother found someone and asked Duan Si to get a quick job in the county office. In addition, I gave old lady Duan eight hundred taels of silver. But for ordinary people to be able to eat official meals, that's also great.
Seven rank officials in front of the prime minister's door, not to mention the people in the palace. Zeng's mother is the prince's lady in charge, and it is not difficult to find Duan Laosi's job in the county office. It's just that they didn't agree before, because they were afraid that their lions would open their mouths.
Yuxi is the highest authority, and naturally knows the following things: "Quick catch? That old four will fist?" Quick catch is responsible for arresting theft, solving crimes, and dismissing prisoners. If you don't have the ability, you can't do this job. However, Duan Xiaohan's martial arts is so good, Duan Laosi can't even know how to martial arts.
Jing Bai shook his head and said, "Master Duan is lazy. He doesn't do any farm work at home. How could he endure the hardship of practice." Duan Xiaohan is not only lucky to be able to join the camp. His grandfather is a retired veteran, and Duan Xiaohan practiced with his grandfather since childhood. Later, he enlisted in the army and he entered the barracks.
Yuxi smiled and said, "Isn't this a cheating!" Even if Duan Laosi can enter the yamen, but can't carry his shoulders and hands, it is estimated that he will have to go home within a few months.
Jing Bai smiled and said: "Lao Duan is very fanciful, and wants my mother to donate an official to Duan Laosi. Not to mention that my mother is not capable of that, so she said that Duan Lao is not able to know one of the four characters, so she is embarrassed to speak. It is Duan Lao. He agreed with four mouthfuls, and said that wearing a broadsword is very prestigious, and no one will dare to look down on him in the future. This is not the previous dynasty. If you have money, you can donate to an official.
The smile on Yuxi's face suddenly stopped: "It's just that the ignorant is fearless." It is because he doesn't understand anything that would say such a thing.
Meilan changed the subject without a trace: "This section of the old lady is eccentric and mean and ignorant. It's a miracle that Duan Xiaohan went into the guard camp without being awkward."
Jing Bai knew Duan Xiaohan better and shook his head and said, "Duan Xiaohan grew up with his grandfather since he was a child. The old man doesn't like Mrs. Duan and doesn't live with them." If you don't live together, you won't be affected by it.
Meilan suddenly said, "No wonder!" She said how the old lady Duan could raise a loyal and capable son like Duan Xiaohan.
