CHAPTER XLII

Because of the tacit understanding of the adults of the Chen family, the eldest sister and the second sister still did not know that the Chen family would "have a master of famous flowers" after the filial piety period. After Chen's mother and daughter finished kowtowing, they hurriedly reached out and hugged the two sisters in their arms, one left and one right.

Feng Shi looked at the two sisters who coaxed the old lady and the old lady to be happy, and unconsciously thought of Ming'er You's family, and said with a meaningful smile: "Ming'er is not only at the banquet, but the two of you are the main masters, and you have to entertain the little sisters who come to the door." Don't be lazy. ”

When the eldest sister and the second sister heard this, they hurriedly got up and said yes. Old Mrs. Chen also knew what her daughter-in-law meant, and followed Feng's words and instructed with a smile: "Not only the little sisters who came to the banquet, but even the elders of each family, don't slack off. Especially your uncle's colleague and friend, You-sama's mother, You Lao'anβ€”"

When Mrs. Chen said this, she was shocked to realize that what she said was too clear. Hurriedly turned the conversation around and smiled: "Don't think your grandmother talks too much." It's just that your two sisters are still young, and they have kept filial piety for their father for three years. I haven't had a lot of fun and coming and going over the years, and I'm afraid that tomorrow when I see more people, I will suddenly be timid. The two of you will be with Sister Wan'er, and she will take care of you. ”

When Chen Wan heard this, she got up busily. smiled at the eldest sister and the second sister: "Sisters, please rest assured, Ming'er still has me." I'll introduce you to the girls from each family, some of them are very nice, and you can get in touch with them a lot on weekdays. Some people are not good, let's just nod our heads. It's good not to be rude, and there's nothing to be embarrassed about. ”

When the eldest sister and the second sister heard this, they got up and thanked them. He sat down in front of Mrs. Chen. The eldest sister still had an innocent face, and the second sister thought of Mrs. Chen's casual words, but she was thoughtful.

After returning to the room, he really sent the maids and daughters who followed, and quietly went to Chen's room to talk.

At that time, Chen was changing clothes and removing makeup in the room, and when he saw the second sister coming in, he smiled unconsciously and said, "It's so late, why don't you freshen up and rest?" Tomorrow has to make trouble for a day. I can't sleep well carefully, and Ming'er is not energetic when I get up early. ”

The second sister didn't have a theory, and waved her hand to ask the maid in Chen's room to step back first, and then said to Chen with a smile: "Grandmother Fang just told us that we should entertain Lord You's mother, You Lao'an, but you know that this Lord You is the adult I saw during the Shangyuan Festival that year and couldn't move when I saw my mother?" ”

When Chen heard this, he knew that the second sister had guessed that it was boring, and she was embarrassed at the moment. Slender Jade pointed at the second sister's smooth and full forehead, and whispered: "Okay, you are a little ghost girl, and I can't hide anything from your eyes." ”

The second sister looked at Chen's face full of spring breeze and smiling shyly, and her heart sank. But he smiled quite calmly: "When did it happen, why didn't I hear any rumors?" If it weren't for my grandmother's accidental leakage, wouldn't my mother still wait for someone to come to the dowry and sue us again? ”

If the eldest sister came to ask this, Chen claimed to be a mother, and in annoyance, she categorically refused to answer clearly. It's just that although the second sister is a few years younger than the eldest sister, because of these years of checking accounts and managing things, running a shop, acting calmly, and quite managed. Even her brother Chen Jue looked at her differently, and Chen also felt that he had something to rely on, and he believed that the second sister was a negotiable person.

Therefore, hearing this, Chen lowered his head with a little heat on his face, and uncomfortably fiddled with the silk golden phoenix hanging bead hairpin in his hand, and said with a smile: "Two years ago, he talked to your uncle, but I still have to keep filial piety for your dead ghost father, so I didn't agree, and asked your uncle to refute it." Unexpectedly, he really waited for another two years, and I saw that he was also affectionate to me. What's more, his family background is also good, even if there are still a few aunts and concubines in the family, and there is no son who is a top family. I have already told him that I will marry you two sisters, and he will treat you as his own. I should also promise that I will be the housekeeper's wife as soon as I pass through the door...... I feel that if I marry someone else, I am afraid it is better for him to know the roots. ”

The most important point is that Chen felt that he could grasp You Ziyu's heart, and he didn't care about trivial things next to him.

When the second sister heard this, even though she didn't think so, she never refuted it. After pondering for a long time, Fang opened his mouth and asked, "Mom, don't look at my young age, but what I say is not young. I also know the benefits that Mom just said. It's just a little bit, how old is that Lord You, how old is this year? ”

Chen was stunned, thought for a while, and said, "I've heard your uncle say that I'm afraid I'll be thirty out of forty this year?" ”

The second sister said: "Such an older person, even if he looks at the foundation of the family now, how many years can he live?" Although my mother is married for the second time, she is also a young daughter-in-law in her twenties. To put it mildly, if that Lord You lives to be fifty or sixty years old and dies, and his mother is only in her forties by then, can she still marry three times? Besides, that Lord You is in his forties, and he had many aunts and concubines before, but he couldn't give birth to a son. It can be seen that he may not be able to give birth to himself. It has nothing to do with others. If Mom marries like this, she can't give birth to a son, and he lets go again, he can't be the master of Mom, Mom doesn't want to let the people of their You family bully? ”

When Chen heard these words, he was also true. I thought about it for a while, and for a while I felt that the words of the second sister were very right, and for a while I was reluctant to give up the affection of Lord You. In her early years, she suffered without a son. What's more, the good days that everyone described to her to marry into the You family can only be achieved on the basis of having a son. If the second sister is in her words, she will marry into the You family but will not be able to give birth to a son......

When Chen thought of this, he couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly called his mother-in-law who was waiting outside the door, because he said, "Go to the east courtyard and invite my brother to come, and say that I have something important to discuss with him." ”

The mother-in-law agreed, and Chen said to the second sister: "It's not too early, you go back to your room and rest." Ming'er has to get up early. ”

Seeing this, the second sister had no choice but to respond. Immediately go back to your room and rest.

I don't know what Chen and Chen Qi discussed later. only said that early the next morning, the second sister got up early, freshened up and dressed, and went to the room to greet the old lady and the old lady.

After eating breakfast happily and talking with a smile, guests gradually came to the door.

Feng Shi hurriedly took Chen Wan and her two sisters to the front to entertain guests. Although Chen said that he was a widow and a widow in the end, it was not good to entertain at the banquet, so he just talked to Mrs. Chen at the back, which also meant that he was at peace at any time.

Most of the relatives of the Chen family came first, and the Feng family talked with everyone eating tea, and led the eldest sister and the second sister to meet one by one, but they said some greetings and polite words. When the relatives of the family were almost here, some colleagues from the DPRK and China came to visit with their wives and children.

For a while, You Ziyu also brought You Lao'an people over. Feng led You Lao'an inside, and called the eldest sister and the second sister to come over to ask for peace. It was the first time that You Lao'an saw the two sisters, and he didn't feel that he looked at them carefully, but when he saw the big one was gentle and peugeot, silent and amiable, and the small one was carved in pink and jade, clever and exquisite, he smiled and praised: "Sure enough, they are two Peugeot girls, but they compare the big girls in our family." ”

After that, he took off the two jade bracelets on his wrist and brought them to the hands of the eldest sister and the second sister respectively, and pulled the two sisters and said with a smile: "In two months, it will be the banquet of our eldest girl, and you should also come over." ”

As early as last year's New Year's Day, You Ziyu slowly explained his intention to marry the Chen family. When the people heard that their son was going to marry a widow and bring two oil bottles to the door, they did not agree. Helplessly, You Ziyu grinded hard and soaked, broke the big truth, and crumpled the wheels of the car for more than a year.

said that although the Chen family is a remarried daughter, she is also the heart of the second elder of the Chen family, not only the parents dote on her, but even Chen Qi, who is the elder brother, treats this sister like a jewel. Now although Chen Qi is at the same level as him, he is so much younger than him, and he is deeply respected by His Royal Highness the Prince, which shows that the future will be stronger than him in the future. There is such an in-law who watches and helps each other in the court, just like those who marry their daughters to fill the house in order to tie the knot.

He also said that although the Chen family remarried, he had a peugeot appearance, a cool temperament, and did not mention the sale of land in his hands, but there was only one rouge shop, not to mention the daily progress and gold, but it also attracted the female relatives of the eunuchs in Beijing. It can be seen that he is a talented person who can manage the housekeeper, and he can take care of the housework when he marries. And because the dowry shop has dealings with the ladies of the eunuchs and nobles in Beijing, as an official of the imperial court, he may not be able to use these connections in the future.

The third said that the Chen family has a good style, and the Chen family will teach their daughter. The two sisters under their knees don't talk about their appearance and temperament, but only say that the second sister can win the personal praise of today's saints, and they are better than the world. Those delicate little girls, where can they compare. After Chen enters the door, he will teach his children, and he will not worry about not being able to teach good people.

Fourth, the two sisters brought by the Chen family were named in front of the saint, and they must grow up in the future, and the marriage will not be bad. At that time, the in-laws of the two sisters will be the in-laws of the You family, and when the son born to him by the Chen family grows up, he will also have connections in the court.

Five said that Chen's Wangfu Wangjia...... Looking at how many days it has been since Chen returned to his parents' home, Chen Qi has not only been promoted to the head of the sixth grade, but also has dealings with Yutai Commercial Bank. Every time they invest in Yutai's merchant ships, although the amount of money they earn every year is limited, it is the silver that comes from the right way. Besides, Chen Jue also said that their Chen family was able to do business in partnership with Yutai Commercial Bank, all thanks to the blessing of the second sister who saved people at the beginning. Therefore, when the Chen family remarries, this money must also be divided into one share for the Chen family as a dowry.

In this way, Chen's dowry list should not be underestimated. I'm afraid that their You family may not be able to show an equal dowry.

Counting the Chen family's encounters, all the piles are related to the Chen family and their two sisters. It can be seen that Chen's mother and daughter have a good life. When the Chen family marries into You Jiawang and his husband-in-law, maybe he can also go further.

In short, the words are all over the place, and you can't help but believe it. Seeing that his son really put his mind on Chen's body, even if You Lao'an was unwilling, he was helpless for the sake of his son's future.

It's just that my heart is sour. Because of his son's face, it's not good to show it.

It's just that You Lao'an didn't expect that she was such a enthusiastic generation, but the Chen family, who was in love with him in his son's mouth, was still faint - not light, but the etiquette was circulating, and the greetings were warm, as if she didn't have the enthusiasm of her daughter-in-law to please her mother-in-law.

You Lao'an quietly tasted it, and sure enough, it was so. I can't help but mutter, I don't know where the business trip is.

I couldn't wait for the banquet to endure, I couldn't wait to go home, and I asked the words in the carriage. When Lord Nayou heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile. Because he thought of what Chen Qi had said when he led him to the study, he said with some trepidation: "Brother Ruzhang Xian just said a few words to me. I'm afraid it's ......"

You Lao'an looked at his son's appearance and asked eagerly, "What are you afraid of, what do you mean?" Didn't you say that you and the Chen family have agreed to it, but don't wait for others for more than two years, and then they turn around and marry someone else. ”
