He Lingzhi listened to it, and he didn't know what to feel in his heart.

Even if it is an account book that has been done, if you change it to a wide heart, you will naturally not be careful, but you will be glad that you have saved a lot of heart; She was born young and lonely, sent under the fence, and her mind was delicate, so she had to turn around in her heart, and her expression was a little uncomfortable.

Wei Wenjie didn't notice it, and said to himself: "By the way, the second brother's dowry was prepared on the general ledger together with my share." It's about to be hired, so let's take a look at it again, don't miss anything. ”

He Lingzhi reluctantly smiled and agreed, picked up the general ledger, flipped a few pages, and found the dowry.

According to Gui Niang's meaning, even if the dowry of the two brothers is about the same, they must be distinguished, after all, the He family is the daughter-in-law of the Wei family.

Wei Wenjie refused, if it wasn't for Gui Niang to stop him, he would have to give his second brother another three points.

He has experienced the sophistication of people when he was a child, and he also knows how many rich and noble people in the world have.

Fortunately, the He family is a wife personally selected, the surname is pure and gentle, and no one in the He family picks these vulgar etiquette; The Zhuang family's daughter, but raised in the Cao family, is used to seeing wealth, if there is a small word because of the dowry, affecting the relationship between the husband and wife, isn't it because of a small loss?

But Gui Niang is not allowed, after all, the young and the young are orderly, and it is not good to mess with the outline.

In the end, the dowry of the two brothers was of equal weight.

He Lingzhi saw it in his eyes, and the joy in his heart immediately disappeared, as if he had swallowed a fly, his heart was on the top, but he smiled on his face: "It's neat, the concubine can't see what needs to be added, it must be because she is tired of her aunt." ”

Wei Wenjie nodded and said, "It's because my aunt is tired, but fortunately, now that you have entered the door, she can also enjoy Qingfu......"

Although he had other thoughts in his heart, He Lingzhi was not dull, and his face was not obvious at all, only holding her husband gently and gently.

The newlywed Yan'er is lovesick for a long time, and it is impossible to mix oil in honey.

The Wei family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said that they had already set off to return to Mancheng after the wedding.

After three days of marriage, he went to the house where the He family was preparing to get married, met several elders in the He family, and all the "return gifts", Wei Wenjie took his wife to Cao's mansion to ask for peace, and by the way, he asked Cao Hao for instructions on the next appointment.

Once the things are ready, you only need to choose the date and you can do it.

Seeing that although Wei Wenjie was happy, he was getting more and more clear, Cao Hao understood in his heart that this was because of the young man's greed for joy.

The matter of marrying a relative, after all, is cumbersome, when the first Wen Jie married, there was a lot of help from the Cao family, which did not make Wen Jie too troubled; Now it's Wen Zhi's turn to marry, and Wen Jie has to do it as the eldest brother, which is not something that can be done in three or two sentences.

In February next year, Wenzhi will also take the entrance examination.

Cao Hao was worried that he would delay his homework, and knew that he was so strong, so he pondered for a moment and said, "It's nothing to make a big decision, but it's too hasty to marry within the year." ”

When Wen Jie heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said hesitantly: "Then the wedding date is set for the first month?" ”

According to the world, the furniture of the new house is to be married by the woman, and most of them start to measure the house and beat the furniture after the big decision. The wedding date is set for the year, and it is true that the time is a little rushed.

The reason why Wen Jie wants to get married within the year is also because he thinks that his younger brother is also old, and his younger brother's daughter-in-law is twenty-eight years old, if he delays it for a year, it will be a bit too big in the eyes of outsiders.

However, after the year and the year, there is no difference of a few days, not in the wax month, and it is good to marry in the first month.

Cao Hao groaned for a while and said: "It's too hurried in the first month, I don't think there's too much to rush, just choose a date before the year to make a big decision, and marry in April and May next year." ”

This was delayed for half a year than originally planned, Wen Jie hesitated a little, and said, "Uncle Shi, will it be too late?" Last year, when I was small, I mentioned that the marriage date was this year? ”

Cao Hao said: "Marriage events must always be properly prepared, and it is better to delay it for a few months than to be hasty now." Your daughter-in-law has just entered the door, and she is still a bride, and she has lost her compassion for her as a surrogate mother. Wenzhi is sensible, if you can't tell him, let him come and see me. ”

Wen Jie already regretted it in his heart, he knew that this was the case, he set the wedding date in September, so there was room for it. In order to wait for the He clan to go north, Bisheng set the wedding date for October.

Seeing that he was silent, Cao Hao thought that he still couldn't figure it out, so he couldn't help frowning, and said: "In addition to Wenzhi's family affairs, next year's exam is also a big event, and now it is less than a hundred days away, so you should be prepared." No matter what happens in the end, you must always be prepared, and you have no regrets in your heart. ”

Wen Jie bowed down and listened, and honestly should go down to the ......* inner house, the orchid courtyard, and the upper room.

Looking at the bride in a red shirt, Li liked it very much. She lived in the south when she was a child, and even now in Manzhou, she still likes supple women in her heart.

In her opinion, the bride was gentle and shy, not a tricky and eccentric person. Having such a person as the daughter-in-law of the Wei family is not only the blessing of the Wei family, but also the luck of Niuniu. Otherwise, the concubines don't get along happily, but they have to be idle, and maybe the brothers will hurt their affection.

"Good boy, don't be an outsider, just be at home. The Wei family and the Cao family have been in love for several lifetimes, and your father-in-law and our family are like brothers. I think you're good, and I can't help but love you in my heart, if Brother Jie is ignorant and dares to bully you, just look for me to call the shots. Li Shi took He Lingzhi's hand and said with a smile.

Although the Li family is over half a hundred years old, he is only about forty people, and his face is full of love.

He Lingzhi couldn't help but be moved, her eyes were red, and she said softly: "Mrs. Tai......"

Li Shi saw that she was feeling nostalgic for her life experience, patted her hand, and said, "Let's see that Brother Jie is so strong and has a great future, you can enjoy happiness with it." ”

Chu Yu was on the side, but he was not as optimistic as Li.

Even if she is the eldest daughter-in-law, she knows the difficulty and hardship of being the eldest daughter-in-law. is not only filial piety elders, but also takes care of the younger brothers and sisters below, thinking about the affairs of a large family, many of which are wronged.

When Chu Yu got married, although she was young, she was the eldest sister in the palace, and she was taught by her mother-in-law, so she could barely support it.

Fortunately, her in-laws love her, her husband is affectionate and righteous, she does things as she pleases, even if it is hard, and relatives give up a lot of money, they are also willing to eat.

He is not only an orphan girl, but also an only daughter, and she doesn't look like a cheerful surname, and she doesn't know if she can stand this hardship.

But thinking about it in her heart, she was still gentle on her face, listening to the homely words of Li and He Lingzhi, and occasionally making up a sentence, which made the room happy.

For the nobles of the powerful family, He Lingzhi originally had a sense of awe in his heart, but when he saw the Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Wen Xu, his heart was a little calmer.

She lived in her aunt's house, she knew how to look at her face, of course she knew how to pretend to be well-behaved and pleased, and after sitting for less than half an hour, the title in Li's mouth had been changed from "Brother Jie's daughter-in-law" to "Zhi'er".

He was overjoyed in his heart, and said to Chu Yu after a few more jokes, "Uncle Shi, why don't you see the eldest lady and Miss Ping?" ”

Chu Yu said: "Tianhui caught a cold a few days ago and is raising it in the house. When she heard that you were coming, she was going to come out to see her, but I stopped her. How good is it to give you after the illness, the left and right are in the capital, and it will be the same if you will see you in a few days. ”

When He heard this, he got up and said worriedly: "My nephew and daughter-in-law are presumptuous, the eldest lady is not feeling well, and our husband and wife are still disturbing each other." ”

Seeing that she was careful, Li comforted: "It's irrelevant, it'll be fine in two days." If you don't come again, the old man will have to wait in a hurry......"

Before the words fell, he saw Lelan from Wutong Garden come in, walked behind Chu Yu, and whispered back two sentences.

When Chu Yu heard this, his face froze.

Li overheard the word "Dongfu" and hurriedly asked Chu Yu: "What's wrong?" What's the matter with Dongfu? ”

Chu Yu got up and said, "Old lady, the old man just sent a message to his daughter-in-law, saying that the palace sent someone to the East Mansion to deliver the decree. The fourth master of the East Mansion was in the yamen, and the second old lady took the fourth lady to incense, but there was no one in the house, so the housekeeper came to ask the master to come over to receive the order. The old man's meaning, let the daughter-in-law also go over, and follow to take care of one or two. ”

When Li Shi heard this, he couldn't help but be moved, and said: "It must be that the fourth girl has news, don't delay, go quickly!" ”

Chu Yu answered, but He was a little uneasy, looking at Li with a changed expression, not knowing what to do.

Or the Li family calmed down first, smiled at the He family, and said: "The four girls of our Dongfu have left a sign in the palace, and now that the will of the marriage has arrived, I am worried in my heart, but there is a little gaffe, Zhi'er is sympathetic, don't blame me for being negligent." ”

The Eight Flags Draft, which was originally an unattainable legend for the He family; Now that I have heard it with my own ears, as in a dream, Ban Xiang Fang asked: "It is said that the young ladies of the Eight Banners family have to participate in the royal selection, is it true?" ”

Li Shi nodded and said, "It's not false at all, a woman who has passed the age of thirteen in the banner has to go through this experience." If they are married first, not only will the family affairs not be counted, but the father and brother and the patriarch will follow and ask for the guilt. ”

He hesitated for a moment, and Fang pretended to ask casually: "Then the eldest lady and Miss Ping, are they also participating in the Eight Flags draft?" ”

Although Li's surname is mild, he has lived for half his life, and he has never seen anything?

Although she tugged at the corners of her mouth, she still spoke softly, and said: "Sister Hui'er is not in good health, so she has already reported in the flag and can be exempted; Sister Ping's father was a close minister of the first emperor, and he had a grace and could marry his own family. ”

"It's a pity, otherwise with the outstanding character of the eldest lady and Miss Ping, you will definitely be able to match the nobles." He said softly with regret on his face, but he was shocked in his heart, it turned out that the concubine who had never passed through the door was still a lady from the official family.

She is a pity, but she is not sorry that Tianhui and Niuniu can't match the nobles, but thinks that if Niuniu is drafted, the Wei family will not marry such a daughter-in-law with a background, and she will not be so embarrassed.

Li Shi heard this a little different, and couldn't help but take a closer look at He, and saw that she was not fake, so he didn't think much about it.

only thinks that this may be because the He family grew up in the people, and for things related to the court, such as "draft" and "marriage", they are only regarded as glory and dignity. Who knows, except for those who want to advance through their daughters, who will be willing to marry their daughters to the clan and the royal ...... * East Mansion, the main hall of the front yard.

Cao Hao wore an official uniform and accompanied the eunuchs in the palace. With Cao Xiang in Beijing, the will of the East Mansion will have to wait for him to come back to pick it up, and Cao Hao, the cousin in the next room, is not easy to pick up.

Although he was delayed in the Cao family for half an hour, he was personally accompanied by the head of the household, and he was waiting for him with good tea and gluttony, and the eunuch only felt decent and did not feel impatient.

The four girls of the Cao family, although they did not point out to any prince and county king as Fujin, but they were taken care of by Concubine Xi, and I heard that they were the niece of Prince Yi Fujin, and this eunuch was also courteous along the way.

Chu Yu was in the back room, talking to the fourth sister who had just returned from the palace.

The dust has finally settled on the lifelong event, and the fourth sister is both shy and nervous.

"Since there is the queen's decree, it is either in the palace or the clan, what have the four sisters heard in the palace?" Chu Yu asked in a low voice.

The fourth sister blushed and shook her head.

When Chu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be a little worried, and asked, "I can see that the nobles in the palace, have you ever asked about the fact that you are related to the Thirteen Fujin?" ”

The fourth sister nodded and said, "I met the queen mother this morning, and I heard the queen mother mention Aunt Fujin." ”

"Have you seen the Queen?" When Chu Yu heard this, he was a little surprised.

Because of the fourth sister candidate, she also paid attention to the movements in the palace.

Although the queen returned to the palace with Luan, she has been recuperating and has not interfered in the draft.

"Yes, I just said that it was summoned by the queen mother. Concubine Xi didn't know before, and then asked two questions. The fourth sister replied.

When Chu Yu heard this, he made up his mind.

There are thirteen blessings promised in front, and after the queen mentions it, the fourth sister's family affairs should be as expected.

The tea outside was full twice, and Cao Xiang finally ran back from the yamen sweating profusely.

The eunuch poured a stomach full of gluttonous tea, and he couldn't sit still, so he said to Cao Hao and Cao Xiang: "Please also ask the two Lord Cao to invite the four girls out." ”

When Chu Yu accompanied the fourth sister out of the inner room, the incense case for receiving the decree had already been placed, and the eunuch stood facing south and north, opened the edict in his hand, and read out the decree.

The first sentence is "referring to Guanglu, the grandson of Prince Yuxian and the third son of Prince Yumourning, as his wife, and he chose auspiciousness to complete the marriage".

Cao Xiang, as an elder brother, accepted this will.

Cao Hao had already prepared a thick silver seal, and the attendant who delivered the decree left satisfied.

As soon as the angel left, the fourth sister was accompanied by Chu Yu and avoided the inner courtyard.

Cao Hao looked at Cao Xiang and said, "The third son of Prince Yu Mourning, it seems that he is the younger brother of the current heir of Prince Yu's mansion, and the fourth brother is in the capital, do you know this person?" ”

Cao Xiang was already overjoyed and said, "Although I haven't seen it, I've heard of its name." Prince Yuxian died young, leaving three sons, the eldest son did not stand, and the only thing left was the second elder brother and the third elder brother who was left behind, and lived with his uncle in the long house. The year before last, Bao Tai misbehaved and lost his title, and the title fell to Prince Yumourning's room. Because the second elder brother is a descendant, the second elder brother inherited the title of prince. At that time, a lot of gossip came out, saying that the elders of the clan were optimistic about the third elder brother's good character, but it was a pity that he missed the title because of his low background. ”

Cao Hao listened, but felt that something was wrong.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty advocated etiquette and religion, and no one messed up the truth of their descendants because of their critical character, and the people who spread this word seemed to have bad intentions.

The second elder brother and the third elder brother are half-brothers, and because of this gossip, it is even easier to get into dislike. Even if the siblings are harmonious, they have to think about it in their own lives...... * Finally early change, tears. Staying up all night and staying up, the body has been poor to a certain point, and the doctor warned again, this time he must grit his teeth and get rid of the bad habit of being able to code words in the middle of the night, and be a long-lived hundred-year-old Xiaojiu. Tomorrow will be early, cheer yourself up...... Monthly pass, monthly pass, already eighth...... Pair your fingers and whisper for a monthly pass......
