Chapter 921: Inquiry
"Not really!" Zhang also smiled and asked again, "When will the sixth master come back?" ”
"The person who sent the letter arrived this morning, saying that it would arrive the day after tomorrow." Shen San's grandmother said, and then said that the family had a treat on the day of Chongyang, and asked Zhang's and Lian Man'er's mother and daughter to be there.
Zhang and Lian Man'er naturally nodded and agreed, and Lian Man'er personally sent the post, and also invited Shen San's grandmother, Shen Yi and Shen Shi sisters to her house to eat and watch the play. Shen San's grandmother was illiterate, so she asked Lian Man'er about her day, and she responded with a smile.
"I haven't said hello to Mrs. Lian yet, you are a double happiness, with such two promising sons, no one can compare." Grandma Shen San smiled and said to the Zhang family again.
"If you want to talk about blessings, how can I compare to the third grandmother." Zhang also smiled and said humbly.
"Not only is the son good, but this girl is also born and fallen, and there is nothing in heaven and on earth. It's not just me, but whoever mentions you in our city doesn't seem to envy anything. Grandma Shen San spoke, and looked at Lian Man'er with a smile.
"Third grandmother, don't praise her so much. This kid has a good personality, is caring, sensible, and knows how to feel distressed. Her rough hands and feet are far from those delicate little girls in our city. Not to mention the two daughters of the third grandmother, they are much stronger than her. When I was at home, I often told her to let her get closer to you two young ladies and learn more. Zhang also smiled busily.
There are a lot of entertainments, and Zhang's can also say the greetings and compliments on these scenes naturally and fluently. In addition, Zhang's temperament is kind, and there are few people she doesn't like. What's more, the two daughters of Shen San's grandmother are both fair-skinned, handsome and handsome, and very polite in dealing with people. Other than that. After all, she is everyone's daughter, and her actions and words are quite warm, which makes Zhang, who is used to seeing spicy country girls, feel rare. Zhang really likes these two girls.
"That's what I should say." Grandma Shen San said, "I often say that the two of them should learn more." ”
As she spoke, Grandma Shen San asked someone to bring in two small jade flower pots and send them to Lian Man'er.
"This is a new gift from my mother's family, does the girl look okay?" Grandma Shen San asked Lian Man'er with a smile.
Lian Man'er looked carefully, but it was two pots of jade carved orchids. The emerald green leaves and white buds are like real orchids if you don't look closely. Lian Man'er took a closer look, and of course praised it again and again.
"Girls are rare." Grandma Shen San smiled. "These two pots are for the girl."
Lian Man'er heard Shen San's grandmother say this, and it was something sent by her mother's family, so it was naturally difficult to accept it, so she was busy and excused herself.
“…… I got six pots in total, and I looked at such a delicate thing, and it was a waste when we put it on the table. The first two pots were sent to my big girl. There are also two pots. Each of the two sisters had a pot, and these two pots were specially reserved for the girl. Grandma Shen San said, "That's not just what I meant. That's what the two of them mean. Hello, such a thing, not for you to anyone. Girl, don't excuse yourself, this is not a valuable, rare object. It's just an ornament. It's winter here, and there's no bright color inside and outside the house. I just put this. ”
Shen Yi and Shen Shi were also busy smiling and saying that even Man'er had to accept it no matter what.
“…… If you don't accept it, you don't treat us as friends. Shen Yi and Shen Shi both said.
At this point, even Man'er couldn't refuse, so she had to thank and accept it. These two pots of jade orchids were sent to Lian Man'er by Shen San's grandmother, Shen Yi and Shen Shi in addition to the serious festival rites. This meaning of friendship, how could Lian Man'er not understand. It's as if she was treating Lian Zhi'er, or Lian Ye'er, Wu Jiayu.
Lian Man'er asked the followers to carefully collect the jade orchids, while thinking in her heart, what are the rare objects at home, and they will also give Shen Yi and Shen Shi two pieces in a few days, and everyone will be more harmonious.
"How long do you plan to live in the city this time, and where do you plan to spend the Chinese New Year?" Shen San's grandmother, Shen Yi, and Shen Shi asked Lian Man'er.
"I'm going to stay a little longer." Lian Man'er said, "First, my brother has a lot of business, and second, I haven't been to Fucheng for more than half a year. The New Year's affair has not yet been decided, so let's see when the time comes. ”
Because even the trustworthy attachment to the homeland, plus the archway of the royal gift is still in the thirty-mile camp, so I plan to spend the New Year in the thirty-mile camp. Of course, even Shouxin made it clear that he and the Zhang family were inseparable from their homeland, but they did not have strong requirements for Wulang and Xiaoqi. Even Shouxin knew that Wulang and Xiaoqi's world was very big, and they would never be bound to the Thirty Mile Camp, even including Liaodong Mansion. Even keeping promises only requires that no matter where the sons go in the future, they should not go to their roots.
In fact, this kind of thing does not need to be instructed to keep promises. In this era, people attach great importance to their ancestral home.
"It's to go back to the old mansion for the New Year, and then Shangyuan will definitely come back to Fucheng." Lian Man'er said again.
The old mansion that Lian Man'er said was not the old mansion where the Zhou family lived, but the house where they lived in the camp of thirty miles. That is her family's old house. Nowadays, they call everyone who speaks to the outside world. The house where the Zhou family lived only appeared in their own private conversations, and was no longer called the old house.
In the future, their ancestral home is also the mansion under the imperial archway, and it will be passed on to their descendants. The house in the village that was purchased by the old man must have been inherited from generation to generation.
"Coincidentally, our sixth master sent someone to report that he could stay at home for a few more days this time." Grandma Shen San said, and then asked Zhang, "I seem to have heard that the wife of the political envoy Si Du wants to protect your fifth master?" ”
"This ...... We have come, and we have not seen Mrs. Du yet. It's just that their men are casually talking and laughing, as if they mentioned it. Zhang Shi said cautiously, "Goro, I was thinking about kissing him for a long time." It was Mr. Nalu who spoke, saying that he had asked him to rely on someone to talk about this, because he was afraid that he would be distracted. ”
"Isn't it the right time?" Grandma Shen San said.
"But no," Zhang nodded, "I'm bent on quickly saying that it is a family affair, he is the boss, and in the future, he and his daughter-in-law will have to manage the big and small affairs of the family." I thought to myself, I'm going to be the same age. I'm too young, and my father and mother are willing to do it, but I can't bear it. ”
The Du family once showed his mouth and wanted to tell Goro about a niece in his family. Nothing else, except that the girl was only fourteen years old now. When Lian Man'er's family heard this, they didn't solicit it. The reason is that, as Zhang said, the eldest son and daughter-in-law enter the door, and there are many things to bear on their shoulders, and if you want to be a little older, it is best to be the same age as Goro, or you can be one or two years older.
When Grandma Shen heard this, she nodded.
The custom of Liaodong Mansion is to like to marry a daughter-in-law, and there is a popular saying among the people, called the female junior holding gold bricks. Girls are older, their bodies are stronger, they can have children faster, they can take care of housework better, and they know that they feel sorry for their husbands. Very realistic considerations, the average person who lives a life, whether it is a large family or a small family, many people think like this.
What's more, the Lian family is going to marry the eldest son and daughter-in-law this time, and the burden of spreading branches and taking care of family affairs is even heavier.
This kind of thing, Lian Man'er is not easy to interject, seeing that Shen Yi and Shen Shi are also a little embarrassed, they got up and pulled Lian Man'er, and wanted to go to their room to talk. Lian Man'er got up with a smile, said goodbye to Shen Yi and Shen Shi, and secretly gave Zhang a look before leaving.
“…… I don't know many people in the city, and I don't know who has a good girl. If the third grandmother knows which family has a good girl, you must tell me......" Zhang understood and said to Shen San's grandmother.
As early as at home, Lian Man'er and the Zhang family discussed that if they wanted to find a desirable daughter-in-law for Gorou, they would use as many connections as possible. Grandma Shen San has been in Fucheng for so many years, so she is naturally a good choice.
Leaving Zhang and Shen San's grandmother to continue to talk about Wulang, Lian Man'er followed Shen Yi and Shen Shi out, and the three girls thought that the house was boring, so they discussed going to the garden to walk around. As they walked, the mouths of the three girls were not idle. Even Man'er has a task on her part, and she wants to learn more about the situation of the ladies in Fucheng from Shen Yi and Shen Shi.
By the time it was time for dinner, Zhang and Lian Man'er had a picture album of the ladies of Fucheng in their hearts. The family had dinner at the Shen Mansion again before saying goodbye and going home.
After the family left, Shen San's grandmother was sitting and talking in the house with Shen Yi and Shen Shi, when there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Shen San walked in from outside.
Shen Yi and Shen Shi both got up busily, saluted, and called their father. Shen San nodded, and sat on the kang opposite Shen San's grandmother. Shen San's grandmother saw that Shen San's face was slightly red, and it was obvious that she had some wine, so she waved her hand at the two girls. Shen Yi and Shen Shi saluted again and withdrew with their respective girls.
Shen San's grandmother asked people to send Shen San sobering soup again.
"Did you send those two pots of flowers?" Shen San only said that he didn't drink too much, and asked Shen San's grandmother at the same time.
"Delivered." Grandma Shen San said, "She refused, or I said that our two daughters came, and she accepted it." ”
"This is the etiquette she knows, and her eyes are not empty." Shen San said.
"That's right. In the past two years, I have also tasted her, and her appearance and temperament are indeed rare. It's not like everyone likes what she likes. Grandma Shen San said.
"This is also the fate of each person." Shen San said.
“…… It's also a good time. Grandma Shen San said, "Even if the foundation is shallow, this will be great in the future." ”
"If you want to talk about the foundation, who is born with everything?" Shen San said, "A few generations ago in our emperor's family, it was still a hunter in the mountains. Our ancestors, when they first got into trouble, they carried hoes. ”
When Grandma Shen heard this, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
