Yun Xiang repeatedly invited the two senior brothers to Dongxuan Mansion for the New Year, but Xiao Yan couldn't leave. Because the marriage between the three princes and the Great Xia Kingdom has not yet been negotiated. And Situ Liufeng could only stay, accepting Xiao Yan's constant supervision.

Qi Shanshan sent Yun Xiang outside the city before reluctantly leaving. Gu Mo naturally couldn't go back to Dongxuan Mansion, and he had to stay in the capital for the New Year.

On the afternoon of the twenty-second day of the lunar month, Yunxiang finally arrived home. Except for Liu Yunyang, who was still 'traveling thousands of miles' outside, he did not come back, and the whole family arrived.

This is not the time to be busy with farming, Liu Chengshuang is idle, and he does not have to soak in the yamen every day. After the last time Yun Xuan's car mat was crooked, the family attached great importance to Yun Xuan's education.

"After the New Year, let's invite a gentleman to enlighten Yun Xuan first, right?" Liu Chengshuang has suffered from lack of education in his life, so he resolutely cannot let the children be illiterate and uneducated.

"This ...... Isn't it too early? Zhou is a little unsure, can a three- or four-year-old child sit still?

Yun Xiang also felt that she couldn't erase the child's nature, after all, she had lived in modern times for many years, and the average child was only in the first grade at the age of seven, and the most she could do before school was to know a few words, sing a few songs, and count a few counts. "I think, it's better for me and Yun Sheng to help Yun Xuan enlighten first. There is no need for anything else, just learn the thousand-character text and the three-character scripture first. ”

Zhou clapped his hands and nodded, "No, Yunyang and Yunsheng were both taught by Yunxiang, and they are both good, much better than those old masters who shake their heads when they speak." That's it for now, wait until Yun Xuan is six years old. Find another gentleman to teach systematically. ”

Liu Cheng respected his family's opinions in both directions, and trusted Yunxiang very much, so he readily agreed.

'Official Resignation III. 'Folk Word Four', Yunxiang's family is now the twenty-third day of resignation, celebrating the New Year. This little year, there is no harassment from the best relatives, no worries to operate, and it is very comfortable. On this day, Zhou took Yun Lian and Yun Xiang to cook their own meals. The maids and ladies just made a move.

"Yunxiang, it's appropriate for you to come and see the New Year's gift prepared by me and your sister." Zhou handed the gift slip to Yun Xiang.

Yun Xiang took it and looked at it carefully. There are a lot of gifts in this list, many of which are Liu Chengshuang's colleagues, as well as his uncle's family and the fourth grandfather's family. Yun Xiang is actually a little sad in her heart, and she can't make a forest alone. There are no relatives who can help each other. My family is indeed a little lonely.

"I remember that my father had an aunt who married far away?" Yun Xiang suddenly remembered such a person. It is said that this aunt is a person who does not tolerate sand in her eyes, because she is not used to seeing the behavior of the old man Liu and his family, so she is not willing to associate with Liu Liang's family.

Liu Chengshuang was stunned, "Why did you suddenly remember your aunt?" She married to Huali County. It was my grandmother who was the master of the marriage, and the other party's family was good, and he also had 100 acres of land. ”

"I'm looking for someone to find out what's going on over there, our family is getting better now, but it's still a little thinner. In the future, my brother and Yunsheng will be both officials and businessmen. Connections are important. However, these relatives in our family are either not right-minded, or they can't support the wall. Yun Xiang said what she thought.

"So you want to see if these brothers in my aunt's family can make it?" Liu Chengshuang still agreed to support his relatives. "When I was a child, my aunt treated me well, and she was not married at that time, so she would protect me a little."

Yun Xiang nodded, "Then I'll ask someone to visit Huali County, inquire about the situation over there, and see who there are at home." If there is a child with good conduct and about the same age as Yun Xuan, he can also be enlightened together. ”

Because the New Year is about to begin, Yun Xiang prepared a New Year's gift, and if the situation of the inquiry meets his requirements, he will send the New Year's gift over and officially walk around as a relative.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, the more prosperous the big family, the more respected it was. Because they believe in the power of the family, and they believe in the power of blood. If you don't have a good relative in your family, you are likely to be taken out by someone with a heart to talk about it. She didn't want to leave Liu Yunyang and Liu Yunsheng a little hidden danger. So this trip is a must-go.

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, those who went out came back. Yun Xiang called people to the outer study, and the family listened carefully to Chu Xia's reply.

"Mrs. Gu is married to the Wei family, a small landlord in Dawang Village, Huali County. But later, when the old man in the family went, the family was separated. Mrs. Gu's family divided 20 acres of land and two shops in the town. Mrs. Gu's eldest son is very sincere in business, although he doesn't make a lot of money, but the business is good. Mrs. Gu's second son is a showman, and now he enlightens the children in a private school. There are two Young Master Sun and one Miss Sun in Mrs. Gu's family. The eldest young master is seventeen years old this year, and he is in charge of the family's business and fields. The second young master is thirteen, studying in the academy. The young lady was also fifteen years old, fair-looking, delicate, and mild-mannered. But ......"

"If you have something to say, say it." Liu Chengshuang was the most anxious.

"But this year, the Wei family is not very happy."

"Could it be that something is wrong with the business?" Liu Chengshuang felt that the Wei family still had some family background.

Chu Xia shook his head, "It's the family who was married to that young lady, climbed the high branch, and retired from the family." ”

"Which one did you climb on?" Yun Xiang shook her head, this kind of thing is really common.

"The original surname of this family is Yuan, and he is the son-in-law of the family, and there is an embroidery village in the family. It is similar to the Wei family's family background. But the surname Yuan was taken by Miss Li of Huali County, the Li family is in the freight business, there are several car and horse shops, the business is very large, and the family is much richer. What is rare is that this Li family is just such a young lady. ”

With that, everyone understands. This is for the Li family's property. Yun Xiang nodded, and asked again, "Are my two cousins married?" ”

Not only did she have to inspect her aunt's family, but she also had to take into account their in-laws, and Yunxiang wanted to avoid being entangled by her best relatives to the greatest extent.

"The eldest young master is looking at each other, and the second young master is still young, so he has not been put on the agenda."

Yun Xiang nodded, there was still time, "You have worked hard this time, but I will continue to trouble you and send the New Year's gift to Mrs. Gu's house." Just said that after the New Year, we went to visit. When you come back this time, it's also going to be the New Year, I'm in charge, let you take a ten-day vacation, and have a good rest. ”

Chu Xia saluted happily, "Thank you, Miss, thank you, Lord and Madame." ”

"Huayue, you go and prepare the New Year's gift, and let the summer send it to Mrs. Gu's house tomorrow." After Zhou's order, he was also very happy. It's also hard to see without relatives moving around. If you can really fall in love with your aunt's family, you won't be so lonely. (To be continued.) )
