Chapter 495: Family Affairs

This girl raised in the boudoir may not be easy to explore the details of her daily preferences, but what is the family style, whether the girl is beautiful or not, whether she is dignified or not, and whether she has bad deeds...... Wait, as long as you have the heart, you can still find out.

Yi Xuan wrote a post and sent her mother-in-law to Shao's house, called Yi Heng over, and the sisters muttered together for a day, and considered selecting a few suitable relatives for their brother and Junwen, and wrote them on the list one by one, and they were not in a hurry to reveal it to Qiu Chen, but each sent their henchmen out to find those three aunts, six mothers-in-law, and neighbors to inquire carefully.

Qiu Chen packed up the gift, it was not a valuable thing, most of it was a local product brought by Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu. Among them, the rarer ones are dried fish, fish maw, dried shrimp and dried scallops brought from Haipuzi. There are also fish fillets produced by Haipuzi. The fatty and tender fresh lotus root produced by Nannuma Lake, the best lotus seeds, and so on.

Early the next morning, Afu Aman naturally had to go to Tangfu to continue his class. Lin Xu visited Mr. Tang last year, and he was quite liked by Mr. Tang, and he also mentioned accepting him as a student, but Lin Xu declined. This time, when Lin Xu arrived in the capital, he naturally wanted to go to Tangfu to meet him. Junwen and Junshu naturally want to be together.

Hearing Qiu Chen say this, Yi Xuan also realized that she was not considerate in what she said. Qiu Chen sincerely considered for their mother and daughter, Yi Xuan naturally had no objection, and agreed with a smile. happened to have just finished eating, so he simply made an appointment with Qiu Chen, brought Mingwei, and sent Ah Man and Brother Yun to Qin Zheng's side.

Stunned for a moment, Qiu Chen smiled and said: "Aman's girl was raised as a boy, there are no rules and no distance, and I am still worried that I can't break it." Mingwei is older after all, so it's not good to go to the school field to exercise with those guards...... In this way, I will also be active every morning and evening...... After that, we walked around the garden. If you go back, you may also walk around the garden...... This strong body, full of righteousness, do not have to practice any kung fu, every day for breakfast to walk around, look at the flowers and enjoy the scenery, it is enough! ”

Qiu Chen was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Yi Xuan to ask such a question.

After thinking about it, Yi Xuan thought of Aman's little girl who was raised like a boy, and then looked at her daughter who followed her side, she couldn't help but feel a little moved, and whispered to Qiu Chen: "Sister-in-law, I see Aman going to practice every day, I don't know, can I bring Mingwei?" ”

Think about it, reading, scientific research, future, all kinds of qiē, the foundation is to have a healthy body. You can only talk about that if you are healthy.

She once complained that she was just an unfavored concubine, complained that her biological mother was powerless, and complained that her mother-in-law had an indifferent personality; complained that his father was not loving and caring...... But when she faced her sister-in-law, she couldn't complain. Relatively speaking, her background is much better than that of her sister-in-law......

A woman from a village family, her husband died early, dragging an uncle and a pair of young daughters, not only was she knocked down, but she came steadily step by step, from a village woman, earned a rich family capital, and also got the award, the third lady, the third county lord, the second grade county lord...... also married into the capital with a remarriage, dragged his children and daughters, married the young hero Jingbei Hou, and became the wife of Yipinhou!

At the beginning, Qiu Chen had the idea of letting the children exercise, and it happened that Qin Zheng went to Liujiaao for the first time to heal his injuries, and he also got Qin Li and Qin Yong as the head of martial arts, which Qiu Chen did not mention. Yi Xuan naturally didn't know, but she just listened to what Qiu Chen said, and every time she learned more, she always had more respect and admiration for this sister-in-law.

Qiu Chen said with a smile: "At the beginning, the children were thin, in order to strengthen their physique and avoid the invasion of diseases, I found a master to teach them, and they have persevered...... Speaking of which, the bones of these children are much stronger and stronger than those of ordinary school children. ”

She always thought that the morning and evening exercise in the Jingbei Hou Mansion was caused by the influence of her eldest brother's habits.

After the two talked about it, they changed their minds and took care of the children for dinner, and Qin Zheng took the children to the school to exercise. Zhixian Zhide has also started to exercise in the morning and evening since he lived in the Jingbei Hou Mansion, but it was the first time for He Zhen to stay overnight in the Jingbei Hou Mansion, and naturally it was the first time to follow the evening exercise. However, Yixuan was slightly surprised when she heard that Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu also went to the evening practice.

"That's, that's, sister-in-law, don't worry!" Yixuan also readily agreed.

Qiu Chen didn't shirk anymore, and smiled happily: "Then I won't be polite to you and Yixuan, so I'll leave it to the two of you to take care of me." ”

Yi Xuan was slightly stunned, and then she was sincerely relieved, and couldn't help but add some admiration, and nodded her head again and again: "Sister-in-law's words are also a little too modest. Several young masters are all excellent, not to mention good character and learning, what is rare is that he is calm and generous...... This is something that everyone doesn't know, if you know, you must have come to the door to propose! Sister-in-law, don't worry, Yi Heng and I said, it is not appropriate to have a portal that is too high, and it is still possible to pick a family of poetry and books to inherit the family, and the girl is still good-looking. ”

Speaking of this, Qiu Chen paused slightly, looked at Yi Xuan and said in a low voice: "The flower party we are preparing will definitely have many ladies and misses, and when the time comes, Madame will also come...... I'm too busy to take care of that day, you and Yiheng pay more attention, palm your eyes, pick out a few, and then let's sum it up...... Oh, those ladies of high-ranking officials and noble families, those few in my family are not reluctant, the door is not right, and it is difficult to be harmonious. You can think about it for the third brother. ”

When it came to the topic of the Liang Guogong Mansion, Qiu Chen immediately cheered up, smiled slightly, and said with a smile: "Nineteen, it's really time to take care of family affairs......

After finishing talking about Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu, Yi Xuan also changed the topic and said: "Speaking of family affairs, the third brother is not young...... He's only a month young, and he's nineteen! ”

The two little girls heard clearly, looked at each other, shook their mouths and chuckled, their eyes wandered, Aman had already figured out how to discuss with his cousin...... This is to find a daughter-in-law for my cousin, and my cousin must want to know the progress when he finds out, hehe, when the time comes, my cousin will let her take what she wants!

The two of them were talking, and when they came to talking, their voices were lowered, and they were used to treating Aman and Mingwei as children, and no one thought of avoiding them. Even if Yixuan was shocked when Qiu Chen mentioned her nephew's marriage, she still didn't expect to let Ming Wei avoid it.

Yi Xuan shook her head and said, "That's the same, it's really annoying to find an arrogant and rude in-law!" ”

Qiu Chen smiled and waved his hand: "It's not so harsh, some things are not very important." For example, family background, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting...... I don't want to be rich and noble, and I don't pay attention to those poems, books, piano and chess. But the family style must be good, and the parents and family members must know the etiquette and ......"

After saying the conditions one by one, Yi Xuan couldn't help laughing: "Sister-in-law, it's really not good for you to marry a nephew and daughter-in-law, you have to be a comprehensive and thoughtful girl!" Look at you like this, if you can't do it in one place, I'm afraid I won't be able to get into your eyes! ”

Speaking of this, Qiu Chen smiled and said: "Of course, because of this, this daughter-in-law has to be more troublesome, to be dignified and generous, to be good-looking, the key is to know etiquette and filial piety...... Oh, Junwen is the eldest son and eldest grandson, and he will have to preside over family affairs in the future, and this daughter-in-law must be able to be the director of the family......"

After speaking, seeing that Yixuan still looked incredulous, Qiu Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not that you don't know, our family is from a Zhuang family." The older generation is a kind person, and they only know how to live in peace, and the 'concubine' is the root of the bane, and it is better to live with peace of mind with their wives and children. ”

"What are you kidding? I'm telling the truth, not a single word of joke. Qiu Chen spread his hands with a smile and smiled very calmly, "I don't dare to talk about other people in such a big way, but Brother Xu and my nephews, as long as they live for one day, these words will definitely not be effective!" ”

Yi Xuan smiled subconsciously: "Sister-in-law, this joke can't be made!" ”

These few words are what many women dream of! How many women force their faces to laugh, laugh in front of people and cry after others, and dream of the life they want!

Non-heirs do not accept concubines, and only one concubine room is allowed for the heirs, and if there are no children, there is only succession!

Qiu Chen's words were said very casually, as if he was as calm as saying whether the weather was good today, but in Yi Xuan's ears, it was tantamount to thunder on dry land, which made her eyes widen in surprise in an instant.

Qiu Chen saw her nodding, so he smiled and continued: "You have seen a few children, they are all honest and gentle. Although the family is not a family of eunuchs and nobles, it can be regarded as a small asset. In addition, my mother's family also has a rule, that is, no concubines are allowed unless they are heirs. If a wife does not have an heir for ten years after marrying a wife, he will take a concubine, and if he has no children, his fate should be like this, and he can no longer take a concubine, but can only inherit the heir. ”

Yi Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But Qiu Chen asked her to figure out the family affairs for her nephew, and she didn't mention Mingwei, and she was inexplicably a little lost. Speaking of which, those three children are very good in terms of character and knowledge, but their family background is too low, and I am afraid that the Zhai family will not agree.

Qiu Chen shook his head and sighed, "That being said, I can't help but feel anxious when I look at my twenties. …… If I were still in Anyang, it would not be difficult to give him a wife. But at this moment, I am in the capital, and I am unfamiliar everywhere after all...... You're familiar, help me figure it out! ”

Yi Xuan's heart jumped, and she subconsciously glanced at Ming Wei, who was talking to Aman in a low voice, pressed her thoughts, and smiled: "Although there are many people in the township who say that they are seventeen or eighteen years old and say that they will marry their wives, twenty years old is not too late. Men have ambitions, and there is nothing wrong with starting a business first and then starting a family! ”

With a sigh, Qiu Chen changed his words and said with a smile: "Our family looks good, and it is also worrying their parents." Brother Xu and Junshu are still two years younger, and Junwen will be twenty years old after this year, but he doesn't mention getting married, only saying that he wants to take the township test and then mention marriage......"

Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a relieved smile: "This is the ...... you hurt them."

In this era, there is a social rule: everything is inferior, only reading is high! It's really unusual for Yixuan to have such a thought!

Thinking so, Yi Xuan shook her head with a smile and said: "Don't worry about those false names, I just hope that the children will grow up healthy and healthy, and it is naturally good to be able to get fame in the future. ”

I thought about it again, and my husband Zhai Jialang was a talent, suave, and his words, deeds, manners, and demeanor were all bad...... In contrast, today's children are much more honest and simple.

Yi Xuan smiled and shook her head, thinking of her husband, who was also rarely famous, although he had been in high school for two terms during the period, he was not yet thirty years old and was in high school...... Speaking of it, it can be regarded as a fame and achievement, and it is rare to find a good son-in-law. But so what? It's just that she has just gained fame and sent a seven-rank magistrate, and she is already a little unbelievable, and she is far from having the respect for her wife from the country's mansion...... What is the use of such fame, it is better not to have it!

Speaking of this, Qiu Chen smiled and said, "Maybe I can earn you the name of Champion Lang and Tanhualang back!" ”

Qiu Chen patted her hand and smiled: "Virtuous and virtuous are all intelligent, enlightened early, and taught effectively, where can you worry." Maybe you will get Xiucai at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and you will be given back two Jinshi fame before you are weak! ”

Yi Xuan also sighed: "These children are not only talented, but also calm and generous, they already have fame at a young age, don't say that you look happy, I am also happy when I look at it." When will the two brothers be able to do this......"

Qiu Chen did not hide his joy, nodded and said: "Before I entered Beijing, Brother Xu didn't say anything, he grew up with me since he was seven years old; Before I entered Beijing, Brother Junwen and Junshu also followed me, and they were no different from my own children. ”

While eating, Yi Xuan smiled and quipped: "Sister-in-law is full of joy, and I can see that my mother's family is very happy." ”

Soon it was dinner time, Qiu Chen found an excuse to come out and go to the inner study, Qin Zheng had already woken up, Qiu Chen saw that his expression was calm and calm, and his eyes were very clear, so he secretly relieved himself, helped him tidy up his hair and clothes slightly, and let him go back to the backyard first, Qiu Chen went to the kitchen to take a look, determined a few dishes, and then turned back and arranged for Qin Zheng to take a few boys to eat in the hall. Aman and Ming Wei accompanied Qiu Chen and Yi Xuan, and took Xiao Bu Yun to follow Qiu Chen and Yi Xuan to dine together in the living room.

After meeting the ceremony, Yi Xuan opened her mouth to ask a few words about Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu's itinerary and reading, and Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu answered one by one generously and calmly.

After this introduction, Ming Wei also stepped forward and bowed to the three of them, and Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu hurriedly returned the salute; Zhixian Zhide and He Zhen also stepped forward to greet Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu. After a while, everyone finished saluting.

Qiu Chen introduced Yixuan to Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu: "This is Brother Yun'er's second aunt, and next to it is Brother Yun'er's cousin Mingwei, who is the sister of Zhixian. He Zhen is the eldest son of Yun Ge'er's fourth aunt. He turned back and pointed to Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu to introduce her: "This is Lin Xu, the uncle of Xiaoru Xiaojie, and the two behind me are my eldest brother's eldest son, the second son, Junwen and Junshu." ”

Yi Xuan sat opposite Qiu Chen, looking at the three young men who were all long and jade, gentle and handsome, the key was that their eyes were mellow and upright, and when they saw the female dependents, they were neither too evasive, nor did they look at the thieves, but they were a little restrained, but they were thoughtful and comprehensive in their etiquette words and deeds.

The three of them are already twenty years old, and they are indeed not young, but they have not gone through many things, especially this kind of handover, which is far less familiar and casual than the children of large families, and it is inevitable that they are more or less shy and restrained. But because of this situation, he is simple and gentle, without too much thought, his eyes are clear and clean, calm and not flashing, his eyes are lowered, and his polite appearance is slightly dull, but he is definitely not frivolous or flashy.

Qiu Chen got up and greeted the door of the room, greeted Yixuan and greeted each other, and beckoned Ming Wei and a few boys into the house. Mingwei greeted Qiu Chen with virtue and harmony. Immediately afterwards, Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu came out of the back room, stepped forward generously and steadily, and gave Yixuan a salute.

Yi Xuan took Ming Wei and followed Qiu Chen back and forth into the inner courtyard of Mu'en Courtyard. Virtuous and virtuous and harmonious followed.

After sitting for a while, Qiu Chen got up and left the inner study and turned back to the backyard.

Such a man belongs to a famous weapon that has been tempered for thousands of years, but because of all this, he is forced to idle here, and he is not even allowed to enter and leave at will...... Although he couldn't see any irritability, Qiu Chen still faintly sighed for him......

Qiu Chen walked over and covered the thin quilt on his body for him, and sat silently next to him on the couch. Looking at her husband who was sleeping quietly, Qiu Chen sighed slightly.

Ordered to go down, Qiu Chen turned into the big kitchen by himself, watched the ingredients add a few dishes, and then turned back into the inner study of the second courtyard of Mu'en Courtyard, Qin Zheng drank some wine at noon, and at this time the wine had not completely dissipated, and he fell asleep on the couch.

Qiu Chen watched the children play lively, while sending people to the backyard Wisteria Xuan to invite Yixuan's mother and son to come over, and on the other hand, he sent people to the front yard school to wait for Zhixian and He Zhen to get out of school, and also sent someone to Shao's house to deliver a letter, leaving He Zhen for dinner, and staying in Jingbei Hou's Mansion at night.

Ah Fu Aman loves this much younger brother very much, and naturally he will not refuse. Junwen Junshu and Lin Xu are older, and they are not interested in these children's games, but they will not refute it, and they will also join in the fun.

Lin Xu, Junwen Junshu and Afu Aman rushed to Mu'en Courtyard together, and Brother Yun, who was humming in Qiu Chen's arms, suddenly got up, broke out of his mother's arms, crawled over hand and foot, and ran to Afu Aman, shouting happily while shouting his brothers and sisters: "Cat, cat, cat, ......"

Just sent Mr. Xu out here, Qiu Chen sent someone over to summon a few people over...... It turned out that Brother Yun woke up from sleep, and he didn't see his brothers and sisters, so he shouted that he was going to come out to find his brothers and sisters. He slept hot and sweaty, it was getting late and the wind was blowing, how could Qiu Chen let him go out at this time. Naturally, he sent someone to call a group of older children over.

A few people hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they had a lot to say, but they didn't notice the passage of time at all, and when Qin Zheng sent someone to call them and say that Mr. Xu was leaving, they stopped talking, and they packed up and went out together to send Mr. Xu out.

They are not depressed, but they are becoming more and more rational, and they are not so arrogant and arrogant. They will still work hard, but they also know clearly that they are not qualified to be talented, and secondly, it is too late to enlighten after all, not to mention that Junwen was sixteen years old and Junshu was only enlightened at the age of twelve, even Lin Xu was also enlightened at the age of eight, and in the next few years, he was stumbling because of life embarrassment, until the twelve-year-old sister-in-law opened a workshop, and the family had a better life, so that he was able to study hard and work hard...... They know their own ability, and they may not be too reluctant to take the exam, and if they work harder, they can also hope to get a reputation in the pass guò examination and the palace examination, but they definitely don't have the luxury of getting a first-class champion or anything like that.

Don't say anything else, but looking at Mr. Xu Changwen Xu, his knowledge is not bad, but he has not been able to pass the examination, and finally has to take the road of promotion. Looking at Mr. Liang, who was hired by my aunt's family, he was very knowledgeable, but he was still unambitious......

The more these three of them do their studies, the more they understand that they are not natural geniuses, and they can get to this point because they study hard and work hard, and a large part of them are due to the good relationship between their aunts...... The magistrate of Anping County, the magistrate of Qinghe County, and the Zhengding Mansion of Nanzhili have all made points, so that they can pass the test all the way to show their talents...... Although they did not cheat, at least, they were given priority in admission at the same level compared to others, not to mention, they would not be buried for no reason...... This is unattainable enough for many students.

Lin Xu looked at Junwen Junshu, the eyes of the three people were surprised and happy, and then looked at Ah Fu with a look of expectation, but looking at Ah Man's gaze was regret that was difficult to hide. It's a pity that Aman is a girl and can't participate in the family scientific examination, otherwise, maybe in a few years, their family will have a kuiyuan!

Not to mention Lin Xu, even Junwen Junshu also watched Afu Aman grow up, and he really loves Afu Aman, since Afu Aman married into the capital with his aunt, they can't see each other every day and love each other as before, and they are particularly concerned and missed. Now that they are reunited after a long absence, they are naturally overjoyed, and there is no barrier, they only feel that their little brothers and sisters have grown faster than they imagined, especially when it comes to learning, Afu Aman didn't think about selling anything, but what was naturally revealed still made Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu happy and surprised. Now, Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu have a reputation for showing talents, but when it comes to learning, Afu Aman is not inferior to them at all, and he has some insights and understandings that are deeper than them......

Ah Fu Aman had dinner with Junwen Junshu and Lin Xu, Qin Zheng, and Xu Changwen in the small flower hall in the front yard. Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu saw that Qin Zheng and Xu Changwen seemed to have something to say, so they resigned together with Afu Aman.

"Well, mother, look at ......" Brother Yun nodded sleepily, whispered, and finally fell asleep without being sleepy.

Qiu Chen hugged him and coaxed: "You close your eyes, your mother will watch for you, as soon as your brothers and sisters come back, your mother will wake you up!" ”

After a meal, Yun Ge'er, who had been playing all morning, began to feel sleepy under the effect of the biological clock.

As soon as he heard that he could play Tibetan cats with his brothers and sisters, Brother Yun immediately stopped struggling, his eyes were bright and he took the initiative to ask for food, and even his least favorite hand washing and washing his face was not awkward at all, and he obediently let Qiu Chen wash him white and tender.

When Qiu Chen saw this, he hurriedly beckoned someone to stop the little thing and hugged it back, Brother Yun was still struggling, and he was still screaming anxiously. Qiu Chen fixed the arms and legs of the little thing, and whispered while attaching them to his ear: "Brother and sister will be back in a while, let's hurry up and finish eating, and then play with my brother and sister to hide cats, okay?" ”
