Chapter 80
The next day, Pan Youliang and his wife really took their son Pan Yuanxing into the house, first went to the upper room to kowtow to Mrs. You to thank her, listened to Mrs. You's teaching, and then went to the main courtyard to kowtow to Chen. At that time in the novel, the three girls were also gossiping and laughing in Chen's room, and Chen's in front of the eldest girl, Haosheng instructed Pan Yuanxing once. only said, "You are the person that the lord likes, and the lord often mentions you to me, saying that you are loyal and clever and can do things." In the future, if you follow the eldest girl, all affairs will be the eldest girl's priority. If you let me know that you have two swords, three swords, and yin and yin, I will definitely not follow it. β
Pan Yuanxing listened to this beating, so he had to meet and make a sound, cursing and swearing to show his loyalty. Chen didn't think so, but after a few words, he told everyone to retreat.
At one time, everyone went to the room to greet the old lady and stop by for lunch. Chen mentioned to Mrs. You that she wanted the identity deed of Pan Yuanxing and his wife, and wanted to pass it on to the eldest girl. The old lady You was not very happy at first, but the Chen family's clever words were colorful, the tongue was bright, and the old lady was overjoyed with every word, and finally in a daze, she followed Chen's wishes.
At this time, the Chen family ordered the eldest girl to accept everyone's deeds. The eldest girl also knew that this was the proper meaning of the question, and immediately thanked the old lady Chen and accepted it with gratitude. Everyone had to gossip once, and what they said was about the dowry of the eldest girl. Mrs. You asked if there was anything wrong.
Chen said with a smile: "The big items are basically there, there are some bits and pieces left, and the Ning Mansion came to the door to propose marriage, and the two families exchanged Geng posts before they could prepare seriously." β
When Mrs. You heard this, she nodded unconsciously, and didn't ask any more.
In the blink of an eye, more than two or three months have passed, and the national filial piety has been removed. Every household prepares wine to resume social interactions. Those who have school-age children also look at each other openly and secretly. Ning Guofu also took advantage of the situation to send a matchmaker to the door to propose marriage.
Because the two families have already had a tacit understanding, this proposal is just a process, and then the exchange of Geng Ti and Bazi, the process should be trivial and complicated, but fortunately, the Chen family is experienced and is also at ease.
After the completion of the eight characters, it is set a small period, and the two families exchanged the gift of Wending according to the old customs. The man gave him some gold rings, gold earrings, gold collars, gold bracelets, and satin materials, and a letter of appointment, and the woman returned the needlework she had made herselfβjust clothes, shoes, socks, purses, sachets, and the like. There is no way to describe it.
Then there is the next employment period - because Ning Guofu is a meritorious eunuch, Zhong Ming Ding Food House, its power and wealth are naturally not a problem. Therefore, even if the dowry this time is only done according to the old practice in the house, in the eyes of people like Youfu, it is still extremely rich and sincere.
Because of this generous dowry, everyone in the You family felt that there was light on their faces, and Mrs. You couldn't close her mouth with a smile. Whenever I talk and talk with my old friends, I must first mention how "my noble son-in-law" is. Its ostentatious and ostentatious posture makes people unbearable to look at directly.
And every time he returns from the banquet, he has to pull everyone in the You family to learn something. The proudest thing in her life is to stand on the shelf and watch coldly the wives who didn't like to deal with her change their ways of flattering and pulling relationships.
Every time Mrs. You mentioned this, she couldn't help but sigh and sigh: "I am a young widow, and I have pulled Ziyu so much alone, and I have not suffered anything after all these years of ups and downs." But I never thought that I could have such a beautiful time. This is all due to the good fortune and good life of the big girl, and she can marry into the Guogong Mansion as a wife. I look at the future when our family will have glory and appearance, and it will all be on the body of the big girl. β
After that, he still beckoned the eldest girl to his side, rubbed her neck quite lovingly, and sighed in his mouth: "What a blessed girl." It can be seen that your master and I didn't hurt you in vain. β
When the eldest girl heard this, she had to bow her head, and her face was full of shyness and was silent.
For a while, You Ziyu returned home from the next dynasty, and he was also full of scenery and majesty. Since the news that their You family and Ning Guofu had married will go out, the attitude of those colleagues in the DPRK and China towards him is simply like two people. If it was said that it was official business in the past, and then because of the marriage between the You and Chen families, because of Chen Jue's face, it was just mutual respect, but now when those people talk to him again, they are a little more flattering, and their eyes are red and envious. Every time after the next court, he invites all kinds of banquets to eat and drink, looking for love. Even his old Shangfeng changed his normal way of confessing to him, and not only did he lose his usual superiority between his words, but he also lowered his stature and asked him to take more care of him in the future. The front and back are humble and prepared, and they are no longer as reserved and proud as they were in the past.
It made You Ziyu raise his eyebrows, as if he was several years younger. Even when I was talking outside the house, my voice as a child became very hard.
The Chen family only talked to the third sister behind his back, and sure enough, he was a man alive, and he had no right to do it.
Seeing that You Ziyu didn't even change his official uniform after returning home, he entered the upper room of the back house in a hurry, and Mrs. You and Chen looked at each other and smiled. Before he could speak, he saw You Ziyu already laughing loudly: "But it can be regarded as a time to get out of the space today, and I can come back early for a while." Don't you know, I've been annoyed by them to invite me to a table and drink these days, and you say it's not good to shirk it, so come one after another, where can my body stand it. It really makes me miserable! β
After that, he smiled at Chen and said: "You say that this person is also strange, when I saw Zizhang being invited by them to drink before, I was still very envious." I just think about when I will be proud of this time. Unexpectedly, now that I have encountered this matter, I can't feel that it is good. β
When Chen heard this, he laughed, and ordered someone to bring the tonic soup that had already been warm on the stove, personally held it to You Ziyu, and said with a smile in his mouth: "We women and Taoist people, where do we know about the things that are facing up." I only know that drinking hurts my body, and my lord should take more care of it. Drink this bowl of tonic soup. β
You Ziyu stretched out his hand to take the tonic soup, smiled in his mouth and said, "Thank you, Mrs.", and drank the tonic soup in one fell swoop. The eldest girl who swept her eyes to the side, couldn't help but think that her pride in this scenery was tied to Bi Shen, and it was rare to put down her body, and said softly: "Is the big girl at home today?" If you want to eat or play, tell your wife. It's really fleeting, and I still remember that when your mother first went, you were still such a big little girl's house. In a blink of an eye, she was also a big girl who was going to marry a wife. You must know that being a daughter-in-law is not as good as being an aunt and grandmother in your own home, you also have to learn three from the four virtues, the housekeeper director, learn more from your wife in this regard, and be virtuous and docile. β
When he said the last sentence, You Ziyu unconsciously glanced at Chen. Chen squinted at him with a smile on his face. You Ziyu coughed lightly in embarrassment, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, why don't you see Brother Bao?" β
When Chen asked, he was about to agree, but he heard the person at the door reply that someone had handed over a letter to see the master. When You Ziyu heard this, he was suspicious, and still smiled at everyone: "How early and late, why did you come at this time?" β
However, the You family has recently become a trend due to the rumors of the marriage with Ning Guofu. It's no surprise that someone is coming to the door at this moment. You Ziyu only complained casually because he knew about this, so he ordered someone to lead the outsiders to the main hall of the outer courtyard to sit down and watch tea, and he went back to the room to retire his official uniform and change into regular clothes, and then hurried to the outer courtyard calmly.
There is no mention of You Ziyu's reception of foreign guests here, only that the ladies of the You family saw You Ziyu coming and going in a hurry, and they couldn't help but laugh and make fun of them. Mrs. You said: "How old are you, you still have such a fiery temperament. It reminds me of the years when he insisted on marrying you......"
When Mrs. You said this, she couldn't help but think of Chen's elder brother Chen Qi. Deng Shi asked: "I heard that your brother went south on an errand, and now it's almost time to return to Beijing?" β
When Chen asked, he replied with a smile: "I heard my sister-in-law say that my brother has come to the house to write. The letter said that he would return to Beijing at the end of July and early August. β
When Old Lady You heard this, she couldn't help but nodded. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Zizhang has done a great job in disaster relief. Presumably, when I return to Beijing this time, the saint will also praise him. β
When Chen heard this, he smiled and said: "If you are promoted or not, I am a woman, and I don't know." I just hope that my brother can come back soon, and then the family will have a reunion Mid-Autumn Festival, and it's okay. β
When Mrs. You heard this, she agreed very much, and said with a smile: "This is not bad. On the day your brother's house comes, you will also take a few girls and Bao Ge'er back to have a look. That's what we're thinking about. β
Chen listened and hurriedly got up and thanked him. Old Mrs. You nodded, smiled at the eldest girl and said, "Since it is your wife's maiden family, it is also your foreign family." When you look back at your uncle, remember to kowtow to him and say goodbye. After all, on the day you got married, you still have to carry you out on your back. β
When the eldest girl heard this, she hurriedly got up and agreed. Seeing this, Old Lady You nodded with more and more relief.
Originally, the Chen family was not the biological mother of the eldest girl, and You Ziyu only had a boy under Bao Ge'er. In this case, when the eldest girl goes out, she can ask the cousin of the You family to carry the eldest girl on the sedan chair. However, Mrs. You and You Ziyu finally discussed with the Chen family after several considerations, and asked Chen Hua to carry the eldest girl on the sedan chair. One is to take advantage of the Chen family's situation to tell the Ning Guofu, his family is not a poor relative who has no background and only knows how to come to fight the autumn breeze, and the other is also to show the intimacy with the Chen family.
The eldest girl has gone through all kinds of things, and she has long regarded Chen as her own mother. Hearing this, there is no undeserved courtesy.
Chen is also a motherly to the eldest girl. What's more, being able to have a relationship with Ning Guofu is beneficial to her and the Chen family. Therefore, the Chen family only went home to discuss with his parents and sister-in-law once, and Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen, and Feng Shi all agreed.
In this way, the Chen family and the eldest girl are even closer and closer.
While the ladies were talking, an old lady's maid came out of the inner room with Bao Ge'er in her arms. I saw that Brother Bao, who had just woken up, was staring at everyone with a pair of big black grape-like eyes, and seeing that Chen was here, he hurriedly stretched out a pair of small arms like lotus roots, and wanted to hug them with a smile.
Chen hurriedly got up and hugged Bao Ge'er. Brother Bao'er was already familiar with the arch on Chen's chest and wanted to feed. Seeing this, Chen couldn't help but laugh and scold the snack goods - this was learned from the mouth of the third sister.
Seeing this, Mrs. You was reluctant to scold her precious grandson, so she had to defend her grandson with a smile: "Such an older child, isn't it just to eat and sleep." Our brother Bao is already very sensible, and you, a mother, still dislike him. I didn't take my grandson to nurse yet. β
Before a word fell, I saw that You Ziyu had already sent the visiting outsiders back to the inner house. As soon as he entered the main gate, everyone laughed and said, "Who do you guess that person is?" Strange to say, even I don't recognize such a person. It's just that a general from eastern Guangdong was ordered to return to Beijing to take up his post, because he heard that our family was married to Ning Guofu, so he came down to worship. I didn't say a few words, but I gave a small basket of Poria cream......"
You Ziyu said, and couldn't help but smile and said to Old Lady You Chen and a few sisters: "I heard that they have the most thousand-year-old pines and cypresses in that place, so I just took the semen and medicine of this Poria cocos, and somehow made this strange white frost." Use human milk or milk and get up early every day to eat a cup to nourish the body and nourish the skin. From tomorrow onwards, you will all eat. When the time comes, our whole family will eat for nothing, how good it is. β
After You Ziyu said this, he didn't know what he thought, but he still smiled at Chen: "By the way, you Ming'er ordered a kid to send two packs to the Yue family." Let's just say that I, who is a son-in-law, don't have any good things to honor. It's just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. β
When Chen heard this, he had to get up and thank him. You Ziyu waved his hand very generously, and said with a smile: "You and I are husband and wife, the most intimate family. What would you say to me for such a trivial matter? β
After all, I thought of something that could be used to make fun of Chen. It's just that the old lady and several sisters are here, so it's hard to speak.
Only after getting through dinner, and absentmindedly eating tea and fruits, chatting again, they dispersed. When he went back to the bedroom with Chen, he couldn't help but hug Chen's and smiled: "I heard that Poria cocos cream is the best to eat with human milk." It's stronger than milk. Now I have been eating and drinking one after another, and I just beg my wife to hurt me more......" >
