Chen Qi looked at Chen's appearance as if he was smiling but not smiling, still pretending to be stupid, and said with a grin: "What my sister said, I don't understand." ”

Chen Shi pointed at Chen Qi with a smile and sneered: "Don't hide from me in front of me." Don't think I don't know your thoughts. But for the sake of the five hundred taels of silver, I don't bother to reason with you. ”

Chen Jue smiled and said, "Good sister, you just listen to me." There will be many more in the future! ”

After a pause, he gave Chen a detailed introduction to the family situation of that Lord You, because he said: "Although this Lord You is now forty years old, he has no heirs in his family, but he has a concubine and a few hairy girls. None of them are climate. If the sister can marry in, although it is the status of the stepfamily, if she really gives birth to a son, she is the son-in-law, and the eldest son, then you will be the first-class hero of the You family, and then Lord You will treat you like a jewel. What's more, although this Lord You is older than his sister, he is the head of the sixth grade of the imperial court, and he has a very good relationship with me, and everyone knows each other. Isn't it much better than people who don't know the roots outside? ”

Chen Qi said these words in one go, and smiled more and more smugly: "It stands to reason that Lord You's family background and appearance, even if he continues to string, he will not worry. For example, as far as I know, there are already several colleagues who have the idea of marrying their own daughters or sisters. Not to mention that the daughters can get the six-rank decree once they get married, just say that an in-law like Lord You, who doesn't want to get married? People in the world seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, they like to burn hot stoves the most, and marrying Lord You to do a continuation is much better than marrying a poor and sour talent or lifting people. Sister, do you think, is my brother's words reasonable? ”

When Chen heard this, he lowered his head and wrung his handkerchief. After pondering for a long time, Fang opened his mouth and asked: "In this case, why didn't he marry a boudoir woman who was not married to Yunying, and why did my brother ask me to offer my courtesy?" It's not fun to talk to yourself. ”

Chen Jue heard Chen's words and knew that she was tempted, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "That's why I said it was a coincidence." Just because Lord You is a scholar, he is the most elegant. Once upon a time, I heard the world say that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, and there was a message from the parents that the matchmaker was a concubine, so it was enough. Now that he can be his master, Lord You vows to marry a stunning beauty. He doesn't like the unreasonable wooden beauty who waits for peace at any time. Just say that the virtuous name outside is one, if the husband and wife get along in private, they still follow the rules, and they are not interesting. Under the moon before the flower, raise the case and raise the eyebrows, that is called living up to life. ”

“…… So when he saw his sister on the Yuan Festival, he paid attention to it - and said something abrupt, not afraid of the sister's annoyance. In fact, before that, when the sister prayed to the Buddha in various places in Beijing last year, Lord You had heard of the girl's stunning name, and he just wanted to see him. After seeing the Shangyuan Festival again, I am now on an equal footing with him because of my reliance on the grace of heaven. He became more and more moved. only said that our two families had a marriage, and a girl was a stunning girl, deep and his meaning; The second sister has a lifelong support, which also reassures her father; Third, the two of us will work together and will be better supported in the officialdom in the future...... Isn't that the best of all three worlds, the best thing to do? ”

Chen listened to Chen Jue's words, moved with affection, knew with reason, both from the righteousness and all the private feelings, if there is really no more to find fault with, he couldn't help but be tempted at the moment. After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't help but think of something, and immediately sneered: "Brother, what he said is too fancy this time, I'm afraid it's just coaxing me!" ”

Seeing this, Chen Qi hurriedly confessed: "What do you mean by this? If I have such a bad intention, I will immediately ask Lei Gong to strike a thunderbolt to kill me. ”

When Chen heard this, he couldn't help but take a sip on the ground, and said with a sad face: "I think you are going to die." Say these things well, and I'm not afraid that my father and sister-in-law will annoy me! ”

Chen Jue hurriedly smiled again: "I didn't mean that, but when I saw my sister suspicious of me, I was anxious for a while-I only have a sister like you, I don't do it for you, but for whom?" If you think so, you're wronged. ”

Chen said: "Brother, don't be wronged, what I just said is also reasonable." It's just that my brother is a foreign man, so I'm afraid I can't think of it for a while. Now I'm telling you that the imperial court has always given a decree, and the husband and wife must be married by the Ming media and have an innocent family background. Even if I am now married to the media, I am still a widow remarrying, and I should not be innocent. Therefore, this edict to me is just a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water. I'm afraid I won't have that blessing to bear. ”

After hearing this, Chen Qi understood. I didn't feel that I was silent for a long time, and then smiled: "I think my sister is too worried." As the saying goes, marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat. If the younger sister is married to Lord You, even if there is no edict from the imperial court, she is also the wife of a six-rank official. With benefits first, socializing outside, only looking at the lintel of her husband's house, whose daughter's relatives can be so blind, insulting her sister for nothing? Even if someone is sour and vinegar and says some rumors, that's my sister's ability, and it has nothing to do with others - what's more, it's really to a certain extent, and I will support you! ”

After a pause, he had to say again: "Wait until my sister inherits the incense for the You family, and give You two more fat sons." At that time, we will be good at teaching the next generation, so that he can read and write, and his sister will not have to worry about the days when he does not have a phoenix crown. ”

That Chen Jue's mouth is full of tongues, even the prince and Zhao Bi and the old men of officialdom who are used to hearing beautiful words can also flatter their eyebrows and eyes, relaxed and happy, not to mention Chen's young woman in the boudoir who has never been out of the second door.

Immediately, Chen just laughed, and couldn't help but look forward. Just as I was about to say something, I saw the eldest sister and the second sister getting out of school and walking hand in hand. Chen was busy and greeted the door with a smile, because he asked, "What have you learned today?" It was hot outside, and the old lady had just sent beeswax to bring a lot of fruit, and I asked someone to use the well water. Wait until you come back to eat. ”

After that, he immediately raised his voice and ordered the little girl to bring the fruit. The second sister waved her hand, and said with a smile: "I don't want to eat fruit, my mother just asked the girl to give me a bowl of rose dew." ”

When the eldest sister heard this, she hurriedly said, "I also want to eat dew." ”

When Chen heard this, he hurriedly said, "I told them to go and mix the dew, and the fruit will be eaten as well." It is a fresh fruit that the early compradors enter, but it is crisp and sweet. ”

When Chen Jue heard this, he smiled and joked to the two sisters: "Look at how stingy your mother is, I have been here for so long, I am doing things and talking, and I don't even have to eat tea." When you come back, there is fruit and dew, so you can see that she is your own mother. ”

When Chen heard this, he hurriedly said, "I am also your sister-in-law." ”

After that, he hurriedly picked up a blue and white sweet white porcelain official kiln bowl from the table, and said to Chen Qi with a smile: "Brother eats tea." ”

Chen Qi deliberately frowned and said, "On a hot day, who is impatient with this." I'm going to eat roses too. ”

Chen couldn't, so he had to ask the girls to exchange another bowl of dew. handed over the two bowls of rose dew brought by the first to Chen Jue, turned his head to the second sister and said, "Give your first to your uncle, you wait for a while, eat the fruit first." ”

The second sister nodded and smiled. The eldest sister hurriedly said, "Sister will eat me first." I'm willing to eat the fruit. ”

The second sister said: "Don't be in a hurry, my sister will eat first." ”

He asked Chen Jue with a smile: "Why does my uncle have to come here today, how is my aunt?" ”

Chen was afraid that Chen Jue would tell Lord You that he wanted to marry her, so he hurriedly glanced at Chen Jue. Although Chen Qi valued the second sister's clever nature, she didn't want to talk about her mother's lifelong events in front of the children, because she smiled and said: "Because the accounts in the shop are poor, I asked the steward to make up 500 taels of silver to your mother." ”

After that, he told him how to see the steward, how to warn and admonish, how to give grace and might, and how to let him go. Yin smiled again: "Speaking of which, this is still your credit for the second sister." At a young age, you can earn money for your mother's accounts. Such a smart Peugeot will definitely be a blessing in the future. ”

Chen Qi was originally an unintentional remark, but when he heard it in Chen's ears, he was a little moved. I was even more thoughtful. I only feel that with the appearance and character of the eldest sister and the second sister, if I can really recognize a six-grade adult as a father, it is a hundred times stronger than the dead ghost who died on a woman's belly because of a wind.

The next day, the two daughters will talk about marriage - the eldest sister has been married to the Zhang family since childhood, and it will be repaid. When it comes to the second sister, she can plan well, and she will not disappoint her daughter's cleverness and intelligence.

Women have always been strong when they are mothers. If you don't think about this matter before, the Chen family only got eight points to that Lord You, and when you consider the daughter's lifelong events, these eight points have also become ten points.

It's just that talking about marriage and marriage has never been in a hurry. What's more, although Lord You has completed a year of filial piety, she could have said that she would keep filial piety for Zhao Chen's dead ghost for three years. If the mussels and white teeth are displayed, it is not good to regret it. For the sake of today, I can only plan again.

Chen thought in his heart, but his face did not show anything. Still sitting at the table, I asked my two daughters long and short questions - the left is just some reading and literacy, housework. He said, "The twenty-first of the next month will be your grandmother's birthday. I think you are also literate now, and you have learned to be a needle girl. Regardless of whether the craftsmanship is good or not, you should write a few words and embroider something - which is a pair of plain socks, which is also the meaning of your filial piety to the old lady. Do you think it's good? ”

When the eldest sister and the second sister heard this, of course they said yes. The eldest sister smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, we have thought about it for a long time." In the first month, Sister Wan and my second sister and I wrote more than a dozen birthday characters every day, and prepared to collect 1,000 words to give to my grandmother as a birthday gift. I just didn't think about the needlework. Mom said it, and we did it immediately. ”

The Chen brothers and sisters might as well be so sensible and filial to the three girls, and they were surprised and delighted and said: "She is worthy of being a big girl who reads and knows etiquette." If you have this heart, you have not read this book in vain. ”

Chen added: "Since I write big characters every day, I don't need to add needles and threads. You are so sensible, the elders know it. The homework is so tight every day, and now you have to prepare for the birthday ceremony, if you do needlework again, and you are more and more tired, your grandmother will feel distressed - that is not the meaning of filial piety. ”

When the eldest sister and the second sister heard this, they had to be.
