Chapter 1005: Sister-in-law
After the three of them ate, it was still Qin Ruojuan who took someone to clean up. When the girls brought the tea, Qin Ruojuan personally held it again, first to Zhang's family, and then to Lian Man'er.
“…… You can also sit, it is estimated that the banquet in front of you will have to eat for a while, let's be fine, sit and chat. Zhang said to Qin Ruojuan with a smile.
"Yes, sister-in-law, you sit here with me." Even Man'er smiled and asked Qin Ruojuan to sit beside her. After Qin Ruojuan entered the door, she came to Zhang's side every day to serve, and also helped Zhang and Lian Man'er do some needlework. As a sister-in-law, Lian Man'er feels very good. She also thought in her heart, no wonder everyone was happy to marry a daughter-in-law early. Sharing household chores like this and taking care of the elderly, the role of a capable daughter-in-law should not be underestimated.
Qin Ruojuan saw that Zhang and Lian Man'er said this, so she came over and sat down beside Lian Man'er, and also took tea and drank it slowly.
“…… In our county, of course, it is not as good as Fucheng, but it is also very lively, and there are some things that can be seen. It's not going to work for the next two days, and we'll have to go back to the old house tomorrow. When we come back, let my brother take us around. Lian Man'er introduced some special things to Qin Ruojuan in Jinyang County.
Qin Ruojuan listened carefully, nodded from time to time, or asked a few questions, and when she heard Lian Man'er say that she wanted Wulang to take them around, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, it was a smile that couldn't be concealed after being disguised.
The young couple is newly married, and the honey is just right. Seeing Qin Ruojuan so attentive in front of the family, Lian Man'er felt that a considerable part of it was because of her love for the house and Wu.
And in this way, naturally there is nothing wrong with it. Lian Shouxin, Zhang's, Lian Man'er and Xiaoqi all like to hear this.
“…… That's right, let Gorou take you around. Zhang also said, "There are a few shops in the county town that have good things, and the good ones are no worse than those in Fucheng." What are you rare? Just let Gorou buy you something. ”
The three of them were talking, and when it was time to hold the lamp, the banquet in front of them finally dispersed, and Lian Shouxin, Wulang and Xiaoqi came back.
Gorou told Lian Man'er that at the banquet, the matter of the new school was further determined. On their side, they will dispatch competent stewards, and with the cooperation of the county government, they will select the address of the school and wait for the frozen soil to thaw in spring. The foundation was laid.
"Lord Zhixian also said that he would accompany Man'er home tomorrow, but I refused for Man'er." Even keep the word.
"That's right." Lian Man'er said that she still wanted to be the same as usual when she came back this time. It's not like extravagance. And if the magistrate of Jinyang County accompanies her home, it will inevitably alarm the township.
"I also said that it was the meaning of Man'er, but the magistrate didn't dare to insist. However, he said, he will still send someone tomorrow. Say yes...... Escort ......," Gorou said.
Since he is the county lord, there are some things that he can't help himself. This kind of official-style article, even Man'er doesn't like it, but it can't be completely banned.
After the family talked, Zhang said that the hour was not early.
"Let's all rest early," Mr. Zhang said. also deliberately glanced at Gorou, "I have been on the road for a day today, and I have to take the car early tomorrow morning." Goro. You take care of your daughter-in-law, who is here for the first time. ”
In the past, when the family talked after dinner, the Zhang family would never be the first to say that they would disperse. Now it's different, Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi are sitting next to them. They exchanged glances with each other, and they all pursed their lips and smiled.
Qin Ruojuan is also a smart woman. Although these days, I am used to being teased by my sister-in-law and brother-in-law, my face is still slightly red at this time. It's Goro, after all, it's a man, and he's usually used to the promotion of his younger brothers and sisters, so he doesn't have any unusual expressions on his face at the moment.
Just like that, the family all smiled and went back to their rooms to rest.
Early the next morning, someone from the county government came to serve. Lian Man'er got up early to freshen up, and after the family had breakfast, they got into the carriage again and went to the camp of thirty miles.
From the county seat to the thirty-mile camp, this section is a wide official road, along the way, there are people from the county government in front of the road, and soon arrived in Qingyang Town. Wulang and Xiaoqi abandoned the car and rode horses, and came to Lianman'er to report to the car, saying that Qingyang Town, Thirty Miles of Camp, and people from neighboring villages and towns were waiting on both sides of the road, and both sides of the official road from Qingyang Town to Thirty Miles of Camp were full of people.
Lian Man'er sat in the car, a little helpless. Everyone came to greet her, naturally, out of respect. But curiosity and excitement are definitely not the same as there are many factors.
In the countryside, there is very little entertainment on weekdays, and everyone likes to join in the fun. Once upon a time, among these people who watched the excitement, she was also there. For example, when Shen Liu brought people to the thirty-mile camp.
For this situation, Lian Man'er has already prepared in her heart. It was inconvenient for her to get out of the car, so she could only ask Gorou and Xiaoqi to talk to everyone.
“…… A group of people are completely exempt from courtesy...... "There are all ages in the crowd, and in the cold and cold days of winter, it is inevitable to be cold when making a big gift." In addition, I want to tell everyone that everyone can go to the Enlightened School for a while, drink a bowl of hot porridge, eat two steamed buns, go to the cold, and at the same time, you can also receive a reward.
Prior to this, because it was estimated that there would be such a thing as a village greeting, Lian Man'er had already sent someone back to the old house to make arrangements. It is important to let everyone come happily and leave even happier.
When Gorou arrived at the front to convey the words, Lian Man'er heard the voices of thanks and praise from people around in the car.
There will definitely be a lot of people who will go to receive porridge, steamed buns and bounty money, which will be another big expense. However, these silver coins are spent here, and even Man'er is not distressed at all. Through the cracks in the curtains, she could see many children in coarse cloth in the crowd.
She, as well as Lian Zhi'er, Gorou and Xiao Qi, also wore the same coarse cloth clothes and lived the same life, and they were able to bring a little joy to these children, and Lian Man'er felt that it was worth more than anything else.
The carriage went all the way, and finally got off the official road and stopped in front of the Imperial Archway. The family got off the horse and got out of the car. When they came out of the county seat, everyone dressed up deliberately, got out of the car, and even Man'er dressed up her skirts.
In front of the archway, the incense case and brocade mat have already been prepared. The servants of the house were all neatly dressed and stood on either side.
This is after Lian Man'er won the title of county lord. When I came back for the first time, I naturally wanted to visit the imperial archway and thank the emperor. and Qin Ruojuan, as the daughter-in-law who just entered the door, also has to bow here.
First of all, Lian Man'er, with the support of the girl, went to the Yuci archway to kowtow to incense, and then the family knelt down together. Even Man'er saw Qin Ruojuan out of the corner of her eye, and Qin Ruojuan seemed to be a little nervous. It's no wonder, compared to ordinary people. Qin Ruojuan, as the daughter of the official eunuch, understands the weight of this imperial archway.
After the whole family had bowed down, they entered the door surrounded by everyone. Afterwards. Lian Man'er inevitably sat in the main hall again, and saw the squire, Li Zheng and others who came to greet him, and exhorted him. It was a lively time until lunch, and most of the people dispersed. It gradually stopped.
Lian Shouxin, Gorou and Xiaoqi are still entertaining guests in front. Lian Man'er, Zhang's and Qin Ruojuan's house in the backyard Zhang's house, some close female dependents are still there, including Lian Zhi'er, Wu Wang's, Zhao's, Lian Ye'er, etc., Zhang Caiyun has just come out of confinement and is also here.
Zhang's is particularly happy today, and he talks about homely things at a big cost.
"Came back this time. How many days do you plan to stay? Wu Wang asked Zhang.
“…… It's the New Year, and when the New Year is over, it is estimated that I will have to go back on the fifth day of the new year. Zhang said. In the past. The family celebrates the New Year in the old house, and they have to live until after the tenth day of the first month, and then go to Fucheng to celebrate the Yuan Festival. Not this year. Now, she has successfully married Qin Ruojuan and entered the door, next. If you want to concentrate on the matter of Lian Man'er's marriage, you have to go to Fucheng.
"The day is set?" Wu Wang asked busily.
"It's set for February. Please, sir, I'm still picking a day. Zhang said.
"That's going to be fast." Everybody says it.
"I should let Man'er stay at home for a few more days," Lian Zhi'er said, "or later, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come back to live." Man'er is not like me......"
Lian Man'er will definitely settle in Fucheng in the future, and the rules of the Shen family must be big, where can you live close to Lian Zhi'er like Lian Zhi'er, and you can go back to your parents' house by talking to your mother-in-law.
"I can't bear it," Zhang said, "but I can't just keep her in my hands and not let her go out because of this." ”
When Zhang said this, everyone in the room laughed.
Everyone laughed for a while, and Wu Wang's family was a person who had arrived, so he got up and said goodbye.
“…… You guys who come back all the way, and you are tired, you should also rest for a while. At the end of the day, it is estimated that there are still a lot of things, so we will not be fooling around here. We'll come back tomorrow. ”
And the whole room stood up.
“…… Then I won't keep you, and there will be something to do in a while. In this big year, you don't have much time to spare. Tomorrow, the big guys will come early, and we'll be chatting a lot. Zhang said.
After sending off a group of female dependents, the guests in front of them also dispersed, and even Shouxin, Wulang and Xiaoqi all came to Zhang's house.
“…… Just now my step-ancestor was here, and I told him, first in front of the old lady. Otherwise, let's go now. It's too late......" Lian Shouxin whispered to Zhang.
The Zhou family's seniority is there, and even Shouxin and Zhang's are not the kind of people who are resolute. Gorou married his daughter-in-law, and he must take him to meet Zhou. This is what Lian Shouxin insisted on.
Zhang did not object.
"That's what I mean, too." Zhang said, "My step-grandfather's daughter-in-law was here just now, and I told her too." She went back early, probably packing up. ”
"Then let's go." Lian Shouxin heard what Zhang said, so he said.
“…… Let's go change your clothes......" Zhang said.
Wulang and Qin Ruojuan went back to the east courtyard to clean up the house for them, Xiao Qi went back to the study, his yard had not been cleaned up for the time being, and even Man'er went back to the west house and went to change their clothes.
“…… Is it all arranged? Seeing that the children were gone, Lian Shouxin asked Zhang.
Send a change first, and add a change later.
