Chu Yu listened, feeling ashamed and astringent, and lowered his head and couldn't speak.

I heard Li Shi continue: "People live in the world, who can not make a single order?" There are many brothers in Dongfu, and the children and grandchildren are flourishing, and the second and the three brothers are also gradually coming out, even if you don't take care of them in the future, they can still hold up the portal; On our side, Changsheng is young, and he is pampered and raised, not the surname that supports the portal; Tianbao is still young, and Hengsheng's identity is not cheap, only relying on Tianyou and his Lao Tzu are also a little thin. Helping Sister Hui find a proper family affair is just a gesture with us, but if you pick a good person, you can also add an arm to Tianyou...... You are not a stingy person, you have taken good care of the Zuozhu brothers, Sister Ping, and the Wei family brothers and sisters over the years, why did you come to Sister Hui'er, but it was only on the face, and you couldn't get close? ”

Speaking of this, Li hesitated and said, "Isn't it, are you still guarding against Wen Qi?" ”

When Chu Yu heard this, he immediately raised his head and prayed a little: "Old lady, no matter how confused the daughter-in-law is, she doesn't dare to have this thought." The aunt and grandmother of the Han family are the daughters of the old lady, and even if the daughter-in-law can't treat her as a second aunt or a third aunt, she has never treated her with contempt and slowness......"

Although outsiders talk about the lord of Herui County of the Earl's Palace, there is a matter of Cao Hao having no concubine, saying that she is jealous; But in the house, in front of her mother-in-law and husband, Chu Yu is a supple and lovely surname.

In Li's words now, there is a suspicion that Chu Yu is jealous, and Chu Yu naturally does not dare to agree.

Lee's words are not empty words.

Although Chu Yu is well-maintained, he looks much younger than his actual age, but after all, he gave birth to three children, and after giving birth to Tianbao, he has shallow spots on his face, and his appearance is not as good as it was back then.

Cao Hao's side, but he only added might, and often went out in Qingyuan in the first two years to get a tan; After returning to Beijing for more than half a year, I raised it again, and I still look like a young man in his twenties.

"People are old and yellow", what a terrible thing.

In order to prevent it from happening, Chu Yu pointed out that the few maids with excellent looks in Wutong Garden were getting older and pointed out that they had gone to match people, and the few who were left behind and the few who were newly added were all ordinary-looking.

For the Han family, the years have treated her very well.

She is older than Chu Yu, but because she is a virgin, in recent years, under the protection of the Cao family, except for raising her daughter, she has nothing else to worry about, so she looks like a double ten girl. If she didn't say it, no one would believe that she was middle-aged.

In Chu Yu's heart, there was no envy. But when it comes to jealousy, it can't be talked about.

Because she knows that her husband seems to be gentle and polite to women, but he actually likes women who are submissive. Although the Han Jiang clan is not coquettish, it has nothing to do with Rou Shun.

In addition, she believes that her husband will leave her face, even if she really wants to add a concubine, it will not be Han Jiang's family.

Although Han Jiang was born as a businessman and a widow, he worshiped under the Li family and had the status of "sister-in-law" with Chu Yu, if he changed his wife and concubine, it would be a big joke.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law's expression did not seem to be fake, Li nodded, and said: "It's good if you don't have this thought, otherwise I won't be able to make someone pick up the two of them to the door...... Speaking of this, his expression became more and more relaxed, and said: "Although I can't see the loneliness and weakness, I pity their mother and daughter a little, but I won't go past you...... It is also a blessing for the Cao family to have you as a daughter-in-law, but recently, the daughter-in-law has been a little anxious. God bless his father's character, others can't believe it, can't you believe it? Even if you really want to accept someone, you won't hide it, don't think about it so useless, prevent this and that, if there is a trace, let God bless his father to see through it, but it will make the husband and wife suspicious. ”

Even if he was embarrassed before, after listening to his mother-in-law's compassionate words, Chu Yu was only grateful in his heart.

She choked up and said, "My daughter-in-law doesn't know what's going on." Just looking in the mirror and seeing wrinkles at the corners of my eyes, I was really scared, and I couldn't help but think about it. It's the daughter-in-law who is wrong, and she shouldn't start to suspect that the lord will like others because she is upset......"

Hearing this, Li's eyes darkened.

In the eyes of the world, cardamom is a good time for women at the beginning, and when she reaches thirty, she is not an "old woman", but also a "big lady".

The wives of princes and nobles, except for those who are in love with their husbands, have not been sleeping much since they were thirty years old, and they began to eat and chant Buddha, waiting for old age.

Even the Li family had kept the empty house for several years, watching her husband pamper the young concubine.

Although he knew his daughter-in-law's worries, Li did not say anything to death.

As she said to Cao's daughter-in-law just now, the heirs of the Cao family's house are still too thin, if the son wants to take a concubine one day, although the Li family feels sorry for the daughter-in-law, he will not object to ...... * front door, outside the street.

At the invitation of Gu Xian, Tianyou accompanied him to see the shop here, and Jiao Wen also accompanied him aside. After a morning's work, I looked at two places, and the satisfactory price was too high, and the location with a low price was not good.

Although Gu Xian was born in a family of squires, and his parents were also big families outside Qingyuan City, those family backgrounds could not be compared with the powerful families in the capital.

He is also the second son, with the eldest brother who wants to inherit the family business above, and the old son of his father below, so that he has little weight in the family.

Otherwise, his parents would not have allowed him to temporarily live in a relative's house with Cao's house, and dragged it until he repeatedly said that he wanted to stay in Beijing, and then sent him 3,000 taels of silver. And the meaning of the words is that although they will not divide the family with their brothers, except for the three thousand taels of silver, the good land and big house in the family have nothing to do with him. The cost of his marriage is also included here.

On Jiao Wen's side, the clansmen who have not been in contact with each other for decades come to send houses and houses; On the side of his biological parents, he couldn't wait to sweep himself out of the house immediately, for fear that he would take advantage of something. There is no other reason, it's just that Jiao Wen won the Jinshi, and he fell into the first place.

Moreover, he also clearly mentioned in his family letter that he was not a material for reading, and it was already a blessing to be promoted in the examination, and he did not dare to ask for anything else. Staying in the capital is not to study and prepare for the next subject, but to find something to do and no longer rely on family.

He doesn't plan to go on a career in office, he can't become a family helper, and it's not unusual for his family to let him fend for himself.

Although Gu Xian is a little discouraged, he is not a complaining surname, and he is still happy. spent 600 taels of silver to buy a small courtyard outside the front door, and spent more than 100 taels of silver to buy gifts for several elders of the Cao family, which can be regarded as thanking the Cao family for taking care of them for half a year; spent more than fifty taels of silver to buy a few outfits for himself and Jiao Wen.

The rest of the silver originally wanted to buy land, but the price of land in the capital is expensive, and the high-quality fertile land has grown more than ten taels of silver per acre; planned to buy a shop, but he didn't dare to smash all the money down at once, after all, he was also trying to learn the way of management, and whether he could succeed or not was another matter.

Tianyou has been friends with Gu Xian for half a year, and he likes his open-minded and kind surname very much.

Don't talk about it, let's just say that he once privately funded Jiao Wen's study, but he never boasted of his kindness; After he fell into the first place and Jiao Wen won the Jinshi, he was only happy for his friends, and he didn't have any jealousy, such a mind is worthy of respect.

Seeing that Gu Xian was embarrassed, Tianyou looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost noon, it's enough, find a place to eat tea first......

Although it is not yet the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is hot at noon, and everyone has been walking for a while, and their bodies are also wet.

Tianyou's proposal was immediately approved by Gu Xian and Jiao Wen.

found a quiet teahouse nearby, and the three of them asked for a private room and ordered a pot of Longjing.

Waiting for Xiao Er to bring tea, the box was filled with the fragrance of tea after a short time.

Gu Xian picked up the teacup, sent it to his nose, sniffed it vigorously, squinted his eyes and said: "The tea is fragrant and elegant, it is this year's tea before the rain, if it weren't for Chengyi to lead the way, I really don't know that their tea is good." Speaking of this, he rubbed the teacup in his hand and said: "The porcelain is also of the highest quality, even if it is left at home to entertain guests." ”

"Chengyi" is the word of God's blessing, after the middle of last year, there were more entertainment outside, in order to communicate cheaply, Cao Hao gave it.

Tianyou smiled when he heard this, this is the private property of Prince Zhuang's mansion, and there is naturally good tea.

Jiao Wen's expression was a little abrupt, as if he was infinitely struggling and infinitely annoyed.

Gu Xian put it down, didn't care about eating tea, put down the teacup, looked at Jiao Wen and said, "What are you thinking about?" I'm pulling you out today, because I saw that you were working hard to prepare for the exam, and I wanted everyone to wander around together, but I didn't want you to add to your heart! ”

Jiao Wen raised his head and couldn't hide his chagrin: "You left the capital to start a business, I should have helped, but I was shy in my pocket." If I had known this, I should have taken their belongings, and I would not have embarrassed you like this. ”

Gu Xian listened, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Stop, stop, what are you talking nonsense?" I can't buy a big shop, I just buy a small shop. I've also been studying until now, and I'm also watching others be lively about businessmen. If you really set up a big stall, if you can't run it, wouldn't it be even worse? Small shops are bought and sold, and the cost is set to be low, even if there is a mistake, it can't hurt the fundamentals, just right. If it is for this reason that your clansmen who have come out of the five suits and several crooked cousins stick to you, it will be more than worth the loss. ”

Jiao Wen's expression gradually stabilized, his eyes were clear, and he looked at Gu Xian and said, "Even if I can't get into the Hanlin Academy, I will seek a shortage in Beijing...... may still be bitter, but as long as you have me, you will have one more way out, even if you throw away all the money sent by your family, I also have you to eat here. If you don't have a wife at that time, the dowry will be on me. ”

His voice was not high, but the sincerity in it did not diminish in the slightest.

Gu Xian was stunned for a moment, nodded casually, and said with a smile: "I remember, it's not okay to be half full, I'm the weight of three bowls of rice in a meal, you can't think I eat too much......"

God bless him, seeing them like this, he was envious.

Although in the same year, some of them were from Zhili, and when they heard that Jiao Wen didn't recognize his relatives in his hometown, he muttered a little behind his back.

Tianyou admires his casualness and chic.

Eat people with a short mouth, and take people softly. If Jiao Wen accepts the gift of the clan, although it cannot be said that he can be slaughtered by others in the future, it is true that he can no longer get rid of these people.

At that time, with the strength of one person, to protect a clan, you must climb up vigorously. Even if you don't use your hands to be greedy for money, you must be careful that your people are evil in his name......*
