Since Yuxi came to the Qin family to be a guest with the Xu family, there have been endless invitation posts. But Yuxi didn't answer, so she politely refused to get married. She took the post from the Qin family and the Zhao family, not because the two are very powerful in Yucheng, but to explore the truth. As for other families, there is no need to rush to get to know them. After she marries Yun Qing, she will definitely deal with each other often.
When Yuxi was doing embroidery work in the house, she heard Pomegranate come over and say: "Girl, the second grandmother of the Zhao family has come to visit the girl."
Yuxi put down the needle and thread, stood up and said, "Please come in and sit down." The last time we met, the second grandmother Zhao gave her a very good impression. This time I took the initiative to visit the door, it was obvious that they had made a good deal on purpose. In this case, she is also happy to make more friends.
Mistress Zhao smiled and said, "Sister Han, I didn't bother you, did I?"
Yuxi asked Perilla to make a cup of scented tea, and said with a smile: "What the mistress said, I am not familiar with the place of my life, and I don't know a few people here. You can come to see me, I'm so happy that it's too late. Yeah!" It just so happens that I can ask Mistress Zhao something, so I don't have to catch it myself.
Seeing Yuxi's words, the second grandmother Zhao laughed sincerely: "What's the second grandmother, it's strange to listen to it. If you don't dislike it, we will be considered as sisters."
Yuxi complied with kindness, and immediately called her sister. One more friend is better than one more enemy. Furthermore, she really needs to break into the lady's circle through a person. There is a saying that there are good wives in the family, and there are less misfortunes. Good wives not only do housework and raise children, but also work hard to broaden the social circle to inquire about the news.
Tu's family smiled and said: "I used to regret not having a sister, but today I finally have no regrets." Tu's natal family only has an older brother and a younger brother, and there are no direct sisters, but there are many cousins and cousins.
The two chatted like this for the whole morning, saying it was a chat, basically Yuxi was asking and Tu was answering. Tu is a native of Xinpingcheng. He has been married to Yucheng for several years and is very familiar with it. Therefore, I have a better understanding of the customs of Ganzhou and Yucheng, which is exactly what Yuxi lacks. Even if Han Jianye came to Yucheng for half a year, he was confused when asking him about these things. Therefore, expecting Han Jianye to be impossible.
One morning passed unconsciously. At noon, under Yuxi's efforts to stay, the Tu family stayed for lunch.
Lunch is not a sumptuous meal, but it is not shabby. This dish was made by Mama Bai. Mama Bai's cooking skills can only be said to be mediocre, which is incomparable to Aunt Guo. But the pot of Cordyceps chicken soup made Tu's admiration: "Sister, I am not afraid of your jokes. I also drink a lot of chicken soup, but I have never had such delicious chicken soup! I don't know how you make it?" After learning, I will cook a pot of chicken soup for my mother-in-law to drink, and do my filial piety.
Yuxi said with a smile: "This chicken soup is mainly made of good ingredients, and it is not difficult to pay attention to the heat and time."
Zijin was a little speechless after listening. Isn't it complicated? I won’t talk about the many precautions when selecting the ingredients. When the soup is boiled, there is a big fire, and the time has to be checked. It's just such a pot of soup, I don't know how much time it took.
When Mr. Tu heard this, he was shocked: "Is my sister made this chicken soup?"
Yuxi read her head with a smile, and said, "I also learned to make some soups with the cook at home, but it's not complicated." Yuxi doesn't really go to the kitchen to cook, not with her identity, but with her identity. She is very busy now, where can she have time to make soup. This pot of soup was just boiled according to Yuxi's orders, and the real manipulator was the white lady.
After returning home, the Tu family said to Madam Zhao: “I used to hear that those boudoirs in Beijing are not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry, but also the blushing female culinary steward. I know that I am a frog at the bottom of the well." She had heard that the girls in Beijing know everything, and she despised it. Anything, is it still a human being? Well, let her run into a strange thing today.
Madam Zhao smiled and said, "Why did the daughter-in-law say this suddenly?"
Tu said: "Mother, you don't know, that girl Han, not only can write and paint, but also exquisite embroidering, proper cooking inside and out, and good cooking skills." After talking about what she saw and heard from Yuxi, she said, "It's really true. It's the first time I have seen every outstanding girl after living for so many years!"
Grandma Zhao asked in disbelief, "Isn't she fooled?"
Tu's shook his head and said, "Where can I be fooled. Besides, there is no need to fool me?" Unless it is a fool, what else can I fool her? There will always be a day when a lie will be revealed.
Mrs. Zhao said: “Ms. Han has been studying with her husband at the age of four, and she has studied for five years. There is also a parenting maid who came out of the palace to teach carefully for several years. It is not surprising to know this.” Mrs. Zhao’s family also served as an official in the capital. Yes, so I know a lot.
Yuxi didn't know that everyone was talking about her, she would be lowering her head and doing embroidering seriously! Well, they did one dress for the future husband-in-law, and she did it three times before and after.
At the beginning of the month, it was the day when the Yun family was hired.
Nowadays, there is a lot of emphasis on dowry, even in border towns with more open folk customs. Yun Qing didn't understand this, so he specially asked the wife of Yucheng's deputy general Fu Jian to help. When buying the bride price, Yun Qing also told Mrs. Fu to buy more practical things.
On this day, Han Jianye stayed to greet the guests. As for the female family members, Yuxi greeted her by herself. Although she has a good relationship with Zhao's second grandmother, Yun Qing and Zhao's previous affairs are better avoided.
In fact, Yuxi didn't know until later that she was thinking too much. Madam Zhao actually didn't agree to marry her daughter to Yun Qing at all, because Yun Qing's situation is too dangerous, and her daughter may be widowed at any time when she marries. It's just that General Zhao insisted on befriending this family, and she had no choice but to try her best to enlighten her daughter. Later, the marriage failed, and she was too happy to have time! Where can I be unhappy.
The gift of the Yun family is quite generous, two pairs of pure gold little golden bulls, two pairs of pure gold dragon and phoenix bracelets, two pairs of pure gold dragon and phoenix hairpins, and pure gold earrings, necklaces and golden locks. The human eye is going to be spent. In addition, tea and wine, cakes, three animals, fish, fruits, four-color sugar, silk and satin are also available. For the bride price, the most conspicuous pair was the croaking geese.
Yuxi asked him to send the wild goose to the house, and said with a smile: "This is the first time I have seen a live wild goose!" To send the wild goose. Because of this stuff, it's not easy to catch.
After reading the offer list, Yuxi read the head and said, "Yes?" She thought Yun Qing, like Han Jianye, wouldn't save money! It now appears that there is still some success in terms of money.
In fact, Yuxi really had a wrong idea. These dowry gifts were not saved by Yun Qing himself, but were prepared by Mr. Yun. When Yun Qing came out of the capital that day, Mr. Yun took out all his family property. The money has always been kept by Huo Changqing, and Huo Changqing used the money for the purchase this time.
Perilla looked at the gift of dowry, with a look of disgust, and said, "Except for gold or gold, and the craftsmanship is rough, how can such jewelry be worn? If this is in the capital, the girl must make people laugh!" I don't know. I thought my girl married a nouveau riche!
When Yuxi heard this, the smile on her face disappeared immediately, and she said blankly: "You said these dowry gifts will make people laugh? What is the joke? The joke Yun Qing is a nouveau riche?" Zisu occasionally complained that she was not. I don’t know, it’s normal to start not adapting to the prosperous place in the capital to the barren place in the border city, and it will take some time to go too far. She could give Shisu time to adapt, but she could not tolerate Shisu's disdain for Yun Qing.
With a heartbeat, Shisu lowered his head and said, "Girl, I was wrong."
Yuxi said in a cold voice: "Just this time, if there is another time, don't blame me for not being affectionate." Zisu is loyal to her, but if she doesn't act properly, she can't stay.
Shiso's face turned pale.
After Yuxi returned to the house, Zisu couldn't help but sighed and said, "Yun Qing is the girl's future husband-in-law. If you say that, the girl is naturally angry." Zisu said these things in a disdainful tone, and the girl was not angry. It's strange.
Zisu wiped her tears and said, "I also know, but I just feel that the girl is wronged." The cost of food and clothing here is not as good as that of the dignified mother of the government.
Zijin also started to persuade her after so many years of love with Zisu, otherwise she would not talk nonsense: "Sister Zisu, you have to remember your identity, you are a girl's maid, not a girl's sister. It is your duty to serve the girl, and the rest is not yours and I should worry about it." In fact, she also feels that it is a pity for a girl to marry Yun Qing, but what can she do? The imperial decree grants marriage, but can't escape the marriage, and can only work hard to adapt.
When Zisu heard this, she was stunned.
Zijin looked at Zisu and said, "Sister Zisu, think about it!" If you still can't figure it out, the girl will definitely not keep her. In fact, this is not what Zijin is willing to see.
In the afternoon, Han Jianli handed Yuxi a piece of jade pendant. Well, Han Jianye said, "Yun Qing asked me to give it to you."
Yuxi took it and took a look, and the style of the Yupei knew that there should be a pair. Well, this jade pendant should be regarded as a trustworthy person.
Everyone gave me tokens for the fixed relatives, so I had to show them what I did. Yuxi took out one of the clothes she made for Yun Qing, and said, "Take this to him tomorrow!" The clothes are made of muslin. This kind of clothes has the advantage of absorbing sweat and allowing ventilation.
Han Jianye deliberately joked: "Yuxi, only do it for Yun Qing, what about the second brother?" He was also very happy to see that Yuxi did not reject this marriage.
Yuxi gave Han Jianye a glance: "If you want to send it, I will let Han Ji send it."
Han Jianye happily said, "Why don't you send it? I will send it now. I'm sure that Yun Qing won't be able to find Bei."
What disappointed Han Jianye was that Yun Qing looked at the clothes and did not act very happy, but the sky did not say a word. After so many years, I still want someone to make clothes for him for the first time! This feeling, this taste, can't tell.
Upon seeing this, Han Jianye patted Yun Qing on the shoulder and said, "Married my fourth sister, you will be waiting to enjoy your luck in the future!"
Huo Changqing knew about the clothes Yuxi made for Yun Qing, and couldn't help but say: "This girl is intentional. From now on, treat her well." No matter what, this thought proves that she is ready to follow Yun. Qing spent his life wholeheartedly.
Yun Qing's reader said: "I will." In fact, Yun Qing would pass by when he had free time during this period, but it was a pity that Yuxi didn't see him because of the serious nuisance between men and women. R8(..)
