The next day, Mrs. Wang really asked Yuanchun: "Now, your brother's marriage can no longer be delayed!" For their marriage, I have been optimistic about two people, one is your sister Feng, and the other is the daughter of the old brother Li Xianjiu's family, which is the one named Li Kun. Sister Feng, you are very familiar with it, and you have also seen Li Kun, what do you think of them? ”

Yuan Chun said with a smile: "What Mrs. likes is naturally not bad. "The official match in the original book!

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "You have brought your sister Feng with you since you were a child, she is considered to have been taught by you, and now she is so standard, we can't be cheap outsiders, so I will tell her to Zhu'er." It couldn't be more suitable for her to be the eldest daughter-in-law of our family! Li Kun has a modest temperament, is gentle and frugal, and it is also an excellent ...... to match her to your second brother Lian."

"Wait......" Yuan Chun hurriedly stopped her words, "Does Mrs. want Sister Feng to marry the eldest brother and Miss Li to marry the second brother?" ”

Let Wang Xifeng marry Jia Zhu and Li Kun marry Jia Lian? Yuan Chun was a little embarrassed in his heart, the cheap girl's mandarin duck score was a bit messy!

"Exactly! Feng Yatou can speak well, be a family, take care of things, calm the scene, suppress the treacherous, and will definitely be able to fulfill the responsibilities of the eldest daughter-in-law and sister-in-law. She is also well-versed in the past and the present, knowledgeable and knowledgeable, married to Zhu'er, and does not worry about not being able to talk to Zhu'er. Li Kun looks like an indisputable and jealous person, and his temperament can complement Feng Yatou. With their two concubines, I don't have to worry about family affairs anymore. Mrs. Wang said with a spring breeze on her face. It seems that he has seen the beautiful scene of Wang Xifeng being the housekeeper, Li Kun assisting from the side, and the family being happy.

Yuan Chun suddenly realized: The reason why the cheap lady wanted to match Wang Xifeng to Jia Zhu and Li Kun to Jia Lian was that she still didn't want Jia Lian's daughter-in-law to compete with Jia Zhu's daughter-in-law.

Also, Mrs. Wang in the original book has never been a virgin-type person.

Now Jia Lian has been officially passed to the second room. For the brothers Jia Zhu and Jia Lian, in terms of their usual offerings and attitudes, Mrs. Wang has always been a bowl of water, and she does not leave a handle of favoritism. But when it comes to such a critical moment as marriage, Mrs. Wang's selfishness is revealed. felt that Wang Xifeng was good in everything, so she wanted to match Wang Xifeng with her biological son.

Yuan Chun said, "Mrs. thinks very well. But there is one thing that I have to explain to my wife: in terms of blood, the eldest brother and sister Feng are close relatives. Marriage between close relatives is not good for the heirs......"

Yuan Chun explained the harm of marriage between close relatives to Mrs. Wang.

In the past, Mrs. Wang was busy, and she was also busy, and the time she spent with Mrs. Wang was far less than the time she spent with Wang Xifeng. And Mrs. Wang will not say something about marriage and children in front of an unmarried girl, so the harm of marriage between close relatives, Yuan Chun once mentioned it to Wang Xifeng, but he has not had the opportunity to say it to Mrs. Wang.

After listening to this, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but feel a little stupid: "But this kiss and kiss have existed since ancient times!" He gave Yuan Chun a few examples: For example, whoever is a kiss and a kiss, isn't it good for people to be good?

Yuan Chun said: "This is a matter of probability. I don't talk too much about those complicated medical theories. In short, the conclusion is that couples who are consanguineous and married are much more likely to have children with dementia, deformities and various incurable diseases than ordinary couples. Does the wife want to gamble on the luck of Brother Zhu and Sister Feng? The wife travels extensively and knows countless people, and then think about it carefully: those couples who are close to each other, have their offspring haunted and had problems? ”

Mrs. Wang thought about it carefully, and remembered one thing: By the way, I had heard that there was a Dou family in Chang'an County before, who was married to a cousin who was a childhood sweetheart!

This Dou and his cousin are also in love after marriage, but later several of the children born to Dou were either stupid or died young, but the children born in the concubine were normal. Dou said that he and his concubines were murdered and cursed by those concubines, and they were almost crazy. But those concubines said: It was the Dou family who did great evil things that caused their biological children to suffer retribution. The family was troubled by the affairs of the wife, concubines, children and grandchildren, and finally demoted and dismissed, and the family was ruined. The two families who were originally close to each other also turned against each other.

In the end, the stupid children also died one after another, and Dou committed suicide. It is rumored that before she died, she also said that she would go to the palace of Hades to ask what great evil she had done and that she would be punished for this......

This matter of the Dou family has spread widely in the circle of noblewomen in the capital. Although it was an old thing more than ten years ago, now everyone still regards this matter as a negative teaching material, often praising and deprecating after dinner, and it is generally believed that it was indeed the Dou family who did evil, so that the children of the grandmother suffered retribution. Otherwise, if a concubine was murdered, he said that he was negligent in taking precautions, why were two or three murdered? Listening to the things she did, she didn't look like a weak and deceitful person, didn't she know how to take precautions? After the praise and criticism, these noblewomen sighed and warned each other: There are gods in the three feet of the head, and those things that hurt the heavens and the peace cannot be done! Otherwise, there is no telling when retribution will return.

Could it be that the Dou family and that family ended up like that in the end, not because of who did evil, who murdered and cursed whom, but because of the marriage of close relatives? !

This...... It's providence!

The cold sweat on Mrs. Wang's forehead couldn't help but trickle down.

She told Yuan Chun about the Dou family. asked: "Could it be that the Dou clan was wronged?" ”

Yuan Chun asked about the Dou family carefully, and said: "Although I have not personally diagnosed the pulse of those children, judging from all kinds of signs, most of them are the evil consequences of the marriage of close relatives, which has appeared in them. When close relatives get married, they don't necessarily encounter such a thing. But if it is unfortunate, it will be a catastrophe for the entire family. ”

She thought to herself: This Dou family is even more wronged than her own Dou E! Dou E was just framed by the villain and lost her life. But this Dou family has suffered because of a "kiss and kiss", and he and his children have been harmed, and he can't find an enemy! No, both families have suffered!

Mrs. Wang thought for a long time, and finally completely stopped the idea of letting Wang Xifeng marry Jia Zhu.

She sighed: "What a pity! I was still thinking about kissing and kissing...... "She doesn't dare to bet!" Because I can't afford to lose!

Yuan Chun said: "It's not impossible to kiss and kiss. Because it is not considered a marriage of close relatives, only ask about blood, not about kinship. For example, Lian's second brother, in terms of kinship, he is also Sister Feng's cousin. But because he is not born to his wife, he and Sister Feng are not related by blood, and they are not close relatives, so they can get married. ”

"Let Feng Yatou marry Lian'er?" Mrs. Wang thought about it, but still shook her head, "You don't know ......" Speaking of this, she didn't say anything.

"How did I not know?" Yuan Chun smiled and said, "Mrs. doesn't want the second daughter-in-law's edge to overpower the eldest daughter-in-law, but for this reason?" ”

Mrs. Wang was distracted by her, and she was speechless for a while.

She was a little ashamed, but she didn't want to admit in front of her daughter that she favored her own child, after all, it was a bit unruly and not above board. He said: "Only when the young and the old are in order can brothers and concubines be harmonious." If the second daughter-in-law is much stronger than the eldest daughter-in-law, I am afraid that there will be some dislikes between the concubines, which will not be good. ”

Yuan Chun didn't want to debunk Mrs. Wang's careful thoughts. Everyone has selfish intentions, and it is normal for Mrs. Wang to favor her own children.

"I know what my wife is worried about. But as the saying goes: children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't worry about your children and grandchildren. Where is the blessing in the future, and where can mortals see through it? Why should the wife calculate too much? Besides, a talent like Sister Feng, Mrs. is rummaging through the capital, but can she find a second one? ”

Mrs. Wang has to admit: She has never seen a second talent like Wang Xifeng. This is also the reason why she was keen to let Wang Xifeng marry her before.

She looked at Yuan Chun and hesitated: "What do you mean: just let Feng Yatou marry Lian'er?" ”

Yuan Chun shook his head: "I don't mean anything. To marry or not to marry, to marry or not to marry, it is better for the wife to ask her brothers. After all, they are marrying wives, if the person they marry is not what they want, in the future, the husband and wife will not get along, or even turn against each other, and the wife will complain in vain, why bother? If the son and daughter-in-law are not compatible, it will be even more detrimental to the harmony of the family! ”

Yuan Chun's words hit the pain point in Mrs. Wang's heart.

Mrs. Wang thought about it for a few days, and finally called Jia Zhu and Jia Lian over separately, and quietly asked, "What kind of daughter-in-law do you want to marry?" ”

Jia Zhu's initial answer was very orthodox: "But it's up to the wife to decide!" ”

Mrs. Wang finally made up her mind to ask her son's wishes, of course she didn't want to leave it like this, so she said: "I chose one out of thousands to give you, if you don't like it, and the husband and wife are not harmonious, won't you let me worry about it in vain and complain?" Let's talk about it! What kind of people do you like? Dignified and generous? Gentle and submissive? She asked tentatively.

Jia Zhu's face was slightly red, and he tilted his head and thought for a long time before he said softly: "It's best to be gentle and obedient, and know a little about poetry and books." After a pause, he added, "If there is no such thing, it is better not to be too flamboyant!" ”

Mrs. Wang couldn't help glaring at him: He likes to be gentle and submissive? Then Li Kun is more in line with his mind than Feng Yatou? Feng girl...... I'm afraid it can't be called gentle and obedient.

When Jia Lian was asked the same question, he thought for a while, bowed down and said, "My son has long admired Sister Feng of the Wang family. I just don't know if the Wang family looks down on me. ”

Jia Lian wants to marry Wang Xifeng, but it's not just "admiration". He thought more about it: Wang Xifeng is his wife's niece, and she has always been close to her eldest sister, so she is the best candidate for his wife's room. But this selfishness doesn't have to be spoken.

Mrs. Wang was very speechless: Did you really let Yuan Yatou say it?

She thought about it for several days, thinking about Jia Zhu and Jia Lian, thinking about Li Kun and Wang Xifeng, the two future daughters-in-law candidates, and thinking about what Yuan Chun said, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't worry about your children and grandchildren", thinking about Yuanchun's various creations and her going to Jiangnan to relieve disasters regardless of life and death......

In the end, she still decided: cherish the blessing first! Don't worry about your children and grandchildren, don't calculate too much, so as not to hurt the happiness of your children and grandchildren.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Wang temporarily pressed the little selfishness in her heart and began to seriously say goodbye to the two children.

It went smoothly when I went to Li's house to say goodbye. Jia Zhu They have seen it, he is a calm and motivated reader, and he has such a character and family background, there is nothing to be faulted with.

When she went to Wang's house to say goodbye to Jia Lian, Mrs. Wang said directly: "I really like Feng girl." I originally wanted to tell the Feng girl about Zhu'er, but a few days ago, I happened to hear the Yuan girl say: The marriage of close relatives is not conducive to the heirs......"

She told what Yuan Chun said to Wang Xifeng's mother Xie Shi.

Afraid that the Xie family would not believe it, Mrs. Wang gave the example of the Dou family again: "Sister-in-law, think about the Dou family in Chang'an County again?" I told Yuan Yatou about Dou's affairs, and Yuan Yatou said: Although she has not personally diagnosed the pulse, it is probably like this! Sister-in-law, tell me, do you dare to gamble on this kind of thing? If something unfortunate happens, isn't it a catastrophe? ”

Xie Shi naturally heard about Dou's affairs, and when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

In case this kind of thing happens, my daughter's family will suffer the most! Men can also take concubines and have several concubines; In addition to marrying separately, a woman can only raise children for others for the rest of her life!

"Really...... It's a pity! Xie also said with great regret.

Mrs. Wang said, "Sister-in-law thinks ...... How about letting Feng Yatou marry Lian'er? Even if our family's family is poor, if Feng Yatou marries into my family, there will definitely not be a picky mother-in-law, nor will there be a tricky sister-in-law or sister-in-law, and it is even more rare that Lian Er also wants to marry a woman like Feng Yatou, which is more conducive to the ......harmony of husband and wife."

Xie Shi scolded her with a smile: "Are you hurting me, or are you angry with me?!" Now this rich and noble family in the capital, in addition to the royal family, is the hottest in your family! Don't get cheap and sell well! ”

Mrs. Wang also laughed: "That's just a false name." Now in our family, one relies on the grandfather to support, and the other is stained with the light of the Yuan girl. Our lord...... Alas, it's not that you don't know. Let's see how they are! Say it quickly, how about letting Feng Yatou marry Lian'er? ”

Xie Shi looked at her in surprise: "You really raise that kid Lian'er as your own son?" ”

Of course, Mrs. Wang would not admit the little selfishness she had had, and said, "Otherwise, what else can I do? Not to mention that there are grandfathers and old ladies watching above, just the fact that Yuan Yatou met the immortals is enough for me not to dare to have the slightest bad intentions. Yuan Yatou went around saving people, doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, and even the flooded towns and plagued places in the south of the Yangtze River were desperately gone. I, as a mother, can't help her, is it okay to do something that will be retributed and gossip, and ruin the reputation and fortune of her and the children and grandchildren of the Jia family? ”

Xie Shi couldn't help nodding: "It's too!" With the blessing of the Yuan girl, Zhu'er is also a smart and motivated person, your good days are ahead! How do you need to calculate the two jujubes so clearly! ”

"That's exactly what you say!" Mrs. Wang suddenly felt a confidant in her heart, "Since my sister-in-law understands me, she should know that when the wind girl passes the door, I will not embarrass her." Zhu'er is still Lian'er, I will definitely have a bowl of water and will not favor one over the other. If I break my faith in the future, come and smack me!" Or, I asked Lian'er to come to see my aunt, and you met him in person? ”

Xie Shi thought for a while and nodded: "You call him!" After all, it is a lifelong matter for her daughter, and she always has to ask in person to rest assured.

After Jia Lian visited Wang's house, his relationship with Wang Xifeng was preliminarily finalized. Wang Xifeng is no longer good at living in Jia's house, and it just so happens that the activities of the sisters to gather together to celebrate the joy of Yuanchun have also ended, so she packed up her things and went back to the Wang family, so that the two families can discuss their marriage.

The three marriages of Jia Zhu, Jia Lian, and Yuan Chun began to go through the process at the same time.

Mrs. Wang was very busy, and the Chen family and the You family from the Eastern Mansion came to help, but fortunately, the various regulations and various plans formulated before Yuanchun played a great role, and everything was quite orderly.

Because Yuanchun was preparing to get married, the little girls who lived in Jia's house were inconvenient to disturb her, so they went back to their respective homes.

Daiyu said with tears in her eyes: "When Sister Yuan marries into the palace, can I continue to study medicine with my sister?" "She doesn't want to give up halfway!

Yuan Chun touched her little head: "Yes!" In this way, I'll send you that set of medical books, and then let Feiying come to your house to live for a while, and guide you to practice medicine, okay? Firefly is the best person in my life to study medicine, and during this time, don't let up your homework. ”

Daiyu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and thanked Yuan Chun again and again. Then he was overjoyed and carefully took the set of medical books that had been placed in Yuanchun's study and went back to Lin's house.

Seeing off Daiyu and the others, Yuan Chun looked at Rongqing Hall, which was suddenly deserted, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

It's so troublesome to get married!

In ancient times, getting married was even more troublesome! Since the decree of marriage was given, her hard days began.

When preparing for marriage, the first thing to prepare is the dowry.

The daughter born by himself wants to marry the prince of the dynasty and the prince of the imperial seal as a match! The future son-in-law's character, appearance, talent, and bearing are also impeccable, although Mrs. Wang's face is tense, she can't be unhappy in her heart.

When preparing the dowry for Yuanchun, she was afraid that the dowry would be thin, so that her daughter would be compared to those princesses and concubines after passing the door, and she would see jokes, so she turned over the family's treasury and her dowry one by one. I saw a good thing today, so I slipped out and asked Yuanchun to take a look, "Okay"? Ming'er saw a few good materials, and asked Yuanchun to measure the size so that she could cut new clothes. Later, he was dissatisfied with something again, and remembered that he had seen a better one in a certain house, so he sent someone to inquire where he could find the better one. At the same time, Jia's mother was also rummaging through her private room and dowry, picking out good things for Yuanchun. Dai Shan collected a few good calligraphy and paintings to add makeup to Yuan Chun......

Yuan Chun looked at those things, and was quite moved at first, but then became more and more speechless: No wonder people say that her daughter is a money-loser! The special labor and management even have to prepare the red paint toilet and bring it over, and the labor and management are going to paste it upside down, right? Right?!

The heavier the marriage prepared by Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang and others, the stronger and heavier the sense of grievance in Yuan Chun's heart!

Finally one day, she couldn't help it, so she wrote a note and asked Qiu Ningshuang to send it to Shui Xiao: "If you want to enter the Jun's family, how much do you need to marry?" ”

Shui Xiao was stunned for a moment after reading it, asked about Yuan Chun's situation, and couldn't help laughing. Wrote a reply: "Qing is the princess, and the marriage should not be simple; Ran Qing is also a younger sister-in-law, and it is not appropriate to marry over the sisters-in-law. Just do it as usual, why worry? ”

Yuan Chun took Shui Xiao's strip to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang stopped a lot.

Yuan Chun also breathed a sigh of relief. It's good to finally get rid of the kind of bargain that I am jumping off the building to sell!

The second thing to prepare for marriage is that Yuan Chun has to do some needlework to show that she is a virtuous woman.

But she really doesn't like needlework! I don't have that talent either.

So, the people in the family had to help Yuan Chun cheat together. She is not required to make anything completely, and when the girls or needlework people are almost ready, they will bring it to Yuan Chun and make up two stitches in an inconspicuous place.

Yuan Chun thinks: Her reputation of "embroidering two stitches" is about to become a joke!

She was weak in needlework and had a bit of talent in the middle feed, so Mrs. Wang urged her to concentrate on learning how to make various dishes and dim sum.

Of course, such a dangerous job as chopping vegetables cannot be done by Yuan Chun, lest he accidentally cut his fingers. It's not good to stir-fry by yourself, but what if the hot oil splashes and burns your hands and face?

Anyway, as the master, you can command the cook to cut the vegetables, and then stand by the stove from a distance, and direct the cook to "cook in person". The important thing is not to learn how to cook, but to understand the cooking and ingredients of various dishes, and at the same time, to taste good and bad...... In short, she's not so much learning how to cook as she is learning how to be a foodie.

During the day, in addition to eating and sleeping, Yuan Chun spent most of the day in the kitchen.

It is burned by smoke every day, but now the weather is cold, the bathroom conditions are poor, and the bathing is inconvenient. It didn't take long for Yuan Chun to feel that he was filled with a smell of vegetables all over his body, and he could sprinkle some chopped green onions and serve them directly on the table! How good is that?

The third major thing in preparing for marriage is to choose a dowry girl and a companion room.

Yuanchun's situation is a little peculiar. Because she went to the palace for a while, Qiu Ningshuang, Qin Zhen, Yan Wan, and Baoqin who had to be used around her were all palace maids in the palace.

After the marriage, the queen only let Qiu Ningshuang and others continue to wait for Yuanchun. did not revoke Yuan Chun's status as a female official, nor did he revoke the palace registration of these palace maids, Qiu Ningshuang and others are still palace maids, so naturally they cannot become Yuan Chun's daughters in marriage. In Jiafu, you have to choose another marriage.

Most of the ordinary young lady's dowry girls grew up waiting for them from childhood. Yuanchun's situation is special, and there is no such ready-made dowry girl, so he has to choose another one among the girls in the house.

And Yuan Chun is going to marry, but it is a prince!

As a result, all the girls or servants in Jiafu who have a little posture and "ambition" are all enthusiastic about the position of Yuanchun's wedding girl and companion room. Between them, a fierce round of competition began.

The girls who have always been married are all candidates for aunts and concubines! Even if there are palace maids like Miss Qiu next to the eldest girl, one aunt is the prince, and it is also appropriate to have a few more concubines. If you (or your own daughter) are fortunate enough to be the prince's roommate, and then you have a son and a half daughter, it is a lazy loach jumping into the dragon gate, from the ground to the sky! is that there is no creation of being a concubine for the prince and giving birth to a dragon son and phoenix grandson, and being able to marry a steward of the palace is also a very decent thing. is the same as being a slave, being a royal slave, naturally more dignified than being a slave of a courtier's family......

In order to compete for the limited number of bridal girls and companion rooms, among the servants of Jiafu who had been calm for a long time, there was an undercurrent again.

There are more and more people who find ways to dangle in front of Yuan Chun, Jia Mu, and Mrs. Wang, and there are more and more people who say good things for their families and talk to each other.

Today, Mrs. Jia recommended her daughter: "...... Although the appearance is worse, it is better to be docile and strong if you don't pinch the tip. She has been waiting in the house for so long, and she has never blushed with anyone, and her wife must know it well......"

The next day, Mrs. B came to reveal the bottom of Mrs. A's daughter: "...... The girl in her family, who looks like a fairy, must be restless. I've seen that girl beat and scold the little girl, tsk, my wife didn't see her shrew! That is, to pretend to be well-behaved in front of the masters......"

Someone just said something good about a relative and friend of his family today: "...... The XX boy is very clever, her daughter-in-law has also waited for the old lady in the house, and the old lady must know the temperament and temperament. If they are allowed to serve the eldest girl, they will be able to share the worries of the eldest girl......"

Jia Mugang felt that these two were good and could be candidates for companionship, so the relatives and friends of XX boy's competitors came to report: "...... Don't take their word for it, old lady. XX kid lost money in gambling last month, why didn't they talk about fighting with people? Such a bastard boy may not be able to do serious things, and he must be an expert in causing trouble for his master......"

Such a big drama, Yuan Chun, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, etc. saw the new year from the previous year.
