Ru Ji took it with both hands, and knew that Su Sanniang's mood at the moment was probably more complicated. Maybe before she becomes the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, Su San Niangzi will become Shi San's wife herself. If that's the case, it's a little embarrassing to talk about how the "Chen family" is.

Su Sanniang didn't say too much, believing that each other was tacit, and when she saw that Ru Xi accepted the bracelet, she turned to Wen Yan and talked about the daily gossip of the next few years.

After a while, Chen Hao personally brought hot tea and refreshments back, and saw that the conversation between his mother and Ruxi was very warm and harmonious, and the smile on Junyi's face deepened. Ru Xi and Chen Hao were used to laughing, but when they saw Chen Hao's expression in front of Su Sanniang, they were a little embarrassed. At this moment, seeing that Chen Hao was holding something in his hand, he consciously got up and took it, refilled the tea bowl of Su Sanniang and Chen Hao, and accompanied Su Sanniang to talk for a while before saying goodbye and going back.

Because of the short days of winter, the sky was a little dark when Ruxi returned to Yueluju. When Xiancao came in to deliver tea, she complained by the way: "Girl, Mrs. Chi's uncle is really like a girl from Cuiliu's cousin, and she still picks and chooses to make a fuss after moving in in the afternoon, but Mrs. is tolerant and sends Sister Shuangying over to take care of it." The aunt of the Pu family said that his uncle and his wife had been trying to talk to each other and asked us about the situation of Yueluju. ”

Ruji only waved her hand: "Mrs. is at a loss, so naturally she will be tossed by others." But this is still a trivial matter, and when it came out of the fifteenth, the lord returned to the Hanlin Courtyard and found that his uncle couldn't get through, or in February, Chi Zhugui couldn't get out of the field to participate in the Spring Festival, and there was a big fuss. Be careful with yourselves, and tell the mother-in-law at the door to watch carefully. We don't know how long we'll be under the roof of all these bad things. ”

The fairy grass went in response, and Cai Wan stepped forward to serve Ruxi to freshen up and change clothes: "Why does the girl sigh like this?" Depending on what my uncle means, the wedding date will not be delayed for too long. ”

Ru Xi touched the pair of white jade bracelets that could only be regarded as mediocre: "Not necessarily." It's not all up to us. ”

At this moment, Cai Wan didn't fully understand what Ru Ji meant, but after two days, he probably knew what he meant.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the explosive gossip news finally came out of the Shi family, and before the Lantern Festival, it contributed a topic that would be discussed endlessly in the following months to the official and female chatting forums in the capital.

After the treatment and conditioning of the imperial doctor, the old lady of the Shi family and the two young masters of the second room of the long room have recovered a lot, and the relationship within the Shi family was originally relaxed. Who knew that at the first New Year's banquet that General Shi Ben ate when he returned home, I don't know which of the old lady's relatives actually wanted to match General Shi Ben with a girl from the Yiyang Hou Mansion. General Shi Ben directly refused on the spot, and said that he already had a candidate to continue the string. This matter spread quickly, and the three relatives and six relatives all heard that General Shi wanted to continue the string, and he was going to marry an elderly widow with children, Mrs. Shi's face changed on the spot, she was angry to death, and the Shi family was in a big mess.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the rumors that General Shi Ben was going to continue the string escalated again, clearly pointing out that the widow was the widow of General Shi Ben's comrade back then, and her son was in Jingzhao Yin Yamen, and had just passed Wending with the granddaughter of Huan Ningbo's Mansion a year ago.

When the news arrived at the Pu family, except for Ru Ji, who had already seen all kinds of signs and had no accidents, the rest of the masters and servants were in an uproar.

The poor catcher that the eldest girl is going to marry will soon become General Shi Ben's stepson?

Although it is not as good as being able to marry General Shi Ben's own son, it is also an instant turn over and a step to the sky.

But there are also older family members who have a wait-and-see attitude, and General Shi Ben is now so powerful that he can't continue to marry. Even if you want a thirteen or fourteen-year-old yellow flower girl, some people are willing to rush to get married. Marrying such a widow? Can Mrs. Shi agree?

Think about it carefully, Shi Zhonglang, the second young master of the Shi family, lost half of his life, and the fourth young master Shi Renlang became seriously ill after failing to marry the eldest girl, and the piles were inseparable from Su Sanniang's son Chen Hao, in this case, General Shi Ben's two brothers and sisters-in-law can have no opinion?

It's hard to say whether this family affair can be concluded or not.

But whether it succeeds or not, the most core related is actually only General Shi Ben and Su Sanniang. If General Shi Ben continued to continue the string in the early years, maybe Su Sanniang could have another child, then there would be some impact on the inheritance and division of the property of the third room in the future. And the three relatives and six relatives who are further away are just increasing the talking point.

On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Ru Xi went to Huan Ningbo Mansion again, to congratulate Ming Lu Sakura, who had the good news of pregnancy, and after giving gifts to congratulate her, she ate tea and chatted, and saw the gossip discussion triggered by the topic of General Shi Ben's continuation, especially talking about remarriage and remarriage in the past, as well as the marriage of family differences.

Ru Xi listened to it with relish for a while, and suddenly remembered another thing, so she quietly asked Ming Luying: "Second cousin-in-law, how is the Wen family girl who guarded the door now?" ”

Ming Lu Ying was a little surprised: "Do you know that Wen Er girl?" As Yan Xiao's wife, of course she knew that in the previous incident of Yan Rong's elopement attempt, Ru Xi had twice lying down and assisting in reporting, but she was a little surprised that Ru Xi would have a relationship with the Wen family girl.

Ru Xi hurriedly shook her head: "I can't talk about acquaintance, but I've heard that although the second girl of the Wen family is a concubine, she is quite outstanding." After a pause, seeing that the others in the warm pavilion were all discussing the past of the British public building Heng couple, and no one paid attention to his side, he lowered his voice, "Is there really no room for it?" ”

Ming Lu Ying looked at Ruxi twice, and then sighed softly: "Actually, Second Miss Wen is really not bad. Father and mother don't insist on any opinions, but the situation of the Wen family is a bit complicated, and if they discuss it carefully, there may not be no room for it. But Xiao Liu was too impulsive before, and he really made the elders in the family angry. Father's meaning is that after the year, he asked Xiaoliu to follow General Shi to the Chenzhou army for a few years. As for what will happen to the Wen family, it's hard to say. ”

Ru Ji counted the time in her heart, so she nodded.

Ming Lu Ying thought about it, then pursed her lips and smiled: "However, it seems that now it seems that General Shi should not return to Chenzhou soon." ”

Ru Ji also smiled, but was a little worried: "It's just that I'm a little afraid, now that the news has just come out a few days ago, I heard that General Shi's family is asking for a doctor every day." If there is a stalemate for a few more days, I am afraid that the side of Baifu Lane will not be clean. ”

Ming Green Sakura will understand that if there is a difference in the level of the two parties who come to get married, the party with a low lintel will naturally bear more pressure. If the woman's lintel is as low as the one in front of you, there may be some ugly rumors. However, General Shi Ben is not the second young master like Yan Rong, this matter seems to have erupted very suddenly, in fact, Mo said that General Shi Ben knows it in his own heart, and at this moment, he is afraid that even the palace already knows about it.

On the other hand, when dealing with the matter of Chi Zhugui, Ming Lu Sakura was the one who came forward in person, knowing that Su San Niangzi and Ru Ji were acquaintances in distress at that time, and this pair also had a lot of affection between the future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. immediately patted the back of Ruxi's hand: "Don't worry, General Shi has arranged everything." In two days, my mother will take Su Sanniang to her home and teach my young sister Lu Rui to learn calligraphy. The signboard of General Jing Yi's Mansion still has a little weight in Beijing, and no one will come to disturb it. ”

Ru Ji Dengshi breathed a sigh of relief, if Mrs. Shi didn't agree, once it reached a stalemate and Su Sanniang still lived in Baifu Lane, maybe Mrs. Shi would send someone to say something. But when it came to General Jing Yi's mansion, it was a different matter. General Jing Yi Ming Chongshan was Emperor Xiang's friend back then, and he was the cousin of Empress Ming, and the general's wife Shaohua County Lord was Empress Ming's closest best friend.

In fact, the stalemate within the Shi family was even shorter than Ji expected. In addition to General Jingyi's mansion to take away Su Sanniang to express support, on the twenty-first day of the first month, Empress Ming hosted a banquet in the palace for many important ministers, and Mrs. Shi, who had not entered the palace for a long time, was also called to participate in the banquet. Who said anything to Mrs. Shi during the palace banquet, outsiders can't know. But what once again caused countless chatters and discussions among the ladies in Beijing was that the next day after returning from the palace, Mrs. Shi, who was originally looking for death and refused to agree, finally relented and said that she would no longer interfere with General Shi Ben's continuation.

When Ru Ji heard the news, she was a little surprised at first, but when she thought about it carefully, it was very reasonable. General Shi Ben is over forty years old and has great military achievements, and it is just that Su Sanniang refused to see each other before, but now if he is really determined to marry a wife, can he really tell the old lady to restrain him like a young male protagonist in a bitter Korean drama?

I'm afraid that before returning to Beijing this time, Huan Ningbo's Mansion, General Jingyi's Mansion and other compatriots have already greeted each other and made a plan. As for Empress Ming's assistance at the palace banquet in January, it was even more final.

On January 27, the official media post was sent to General Jing Yi's mansion, and the name and document were also completed in the next three days, and the wedding date was directly set for February 25.

This speed is really lightning fast, and there should also be a sense of scruple about Chen Hao and Ruji's marriage. A few years ago, Chen Hao and Ru Xi's Wending has passed, and now that the elders and younger generations have happy events, Ru Xi, as a junior, can only postpone the marriage date.

In February, Su Sanniang moved from General Jingyi's mansion to the north of the city where Ru Ji had been before, and began to prepare the dowry and the details of various marriages. Because Su Sanniang and Chen Hao's father were both from Chenzhou, and there were almost no relatives in Beijing, regarding the management of these weddings and housework, Huan Ningbo's Mansion and Jingyi's General Mansion sent experienced grandmothers and big maids to the past, and Ming Lu Ying, as Yan Sanye's only daughter-in-law, although she was pregnant, she still went to take care of her twice, and by the way, she also brought Ruxi to help.

There are too many eclectic places in this whole thing, such as seeing the people sent by Ming Green Sakura to come over and invite them, they don't think it's a big deal. Anyway, this marriage was able to be promoted at the beginning, and it was also a lot of credit to Ru Xi, and at this moment, it was really nothing to help Su Sanniang take care of some details in the past. What's more, if you go to the house in the north of the city to help, you can also take the opportunity to meet Chen Hao again, and Ru Ji will not refuse.
