Chapter 31 Marrying the People Around You
Chen Wenhui looked at Mama Zhao. Mama Zhao knew that Chen Wenhui didn't understand these things, so she said: "Shui Han, you send a letter to your mother and son at home and tell them, it stands to reason that your mother and son can't be the master of your marriage." In fact, even if you didn't marry the county lord to the Zhao family, your mother and son can't be the master, because you are the son of the family, and the marriage match is naturally the master's decision. ”
"However, our county lord is merciful, and treats you like sisters, not only entrusting you with important responsibilities, but also allowing you to marry independently. It's just that even if you are married or married, you can't forget your roots, don't forget, when will you be the slave of the county lord, and the county lord is the master. Right now, the county lord is rejoicing, and he needs a few of you to help. You must not imitate those petty people, and the two parties cannot meet or talk before they get married. What's more, you know, those rules don't apply to us slaves. The people below should also pay attention and don't joke. The two of them also have to work as errands for the county lord. ”
Mama Zhao has been housekeeper for a while, and her prestige is growing, and as soon as she said this, it was quiet inside.
Mama Zhao continued: "Shui Han, even if you are preparing a dowry, you can't delay it. Remember? Also, everything is by the grace of the Son, and do not be ungrateful. ”
Shui Han hurriedly responded solemnly, saluted Mama Zhao, and also saluted Chen Wenhui.
Chen Wenhui nodded.
Chen Wenhui said: "Giving a reward of 100 yuan to each person in our house can be regarded as a joy in the cold." ”
The house was full of thanks.
Mama Zhao dispersed with others.
As soon as the people left, Chen Wenhui left the water cold alone. Water lotus spoke.
Chen Wenhui nodded to Shuilian with a smile. Shuilian understood, and hurriedly prepared a clip from the house.
It opened, and a golden light glittered.
Chen Wenhui said: "This is my congratulatory gift to you. There are six pieces of red gold jewelry in total, and one hundred acres of fertile land outside the city. One thousand taels of silver tickets. The treasury also prepares ten horses of fine Jiangnan silk, ten horses of tribute satin, ten horses of yarn, ten horses of muslin, ten horses of woolen material, ten horses of Japanese satin, and ten horses of Nanyang silk. Ten pieces of fine skin. One hundred pounds of high-quality long-staple cotton. Also, my master has also opened their family's wedding shop to Tiebi Guancheng, and I have already given the master's wedding shop money, you can go directly to the wedding shop to choose a good dowry. You can take all these things and see what is missing. Decorate the house well. Take the wedding thing. After discussing it with Lian Jiayue, he doesn't have any relatives here, and no one is worried. I think Chen Wei and his wife are very good, so let them worry about you. ”
Shui Han hurriedly followed and kowtowed to Chen Wenhui to thank him.
Chen Wenhui smiled and asked Shui Lian to help Shui Han up and said, "In the future, when you get married, you will have these rewards." Therefore, you have to find a good in-law, what kind of family does not matter, the important thing is to find a lover. ”
Everyone was shy.
The whole day was full of joy.
On the same day, Lian Jiayue knew from Chen Wei and his wife that things were going very smoothly. Chen Wenhui also rewarded everyone in the house with money. It's not much, but it's making everyone happy. This is also a blessing to them, and it is also shown to the people of the whole house, and the county lord values the two of them very much.
Lian Jiayue was very happy.
I learned about Mama Zhao's words from Chen Wei and his wife, and I was even more happy. He used to be worried, if he decided to have a family affair, in the future, Shui Han would hide from him, and it would be a long time before he could see Shui Han, and his heart was really uncomfortable. Unexpectedly, Mama Zhao solved all these problems. Now that the county lord is pregnant, he has to raise it, so he can't worry about it at all. Mama Zhao is in charge of the affairs of the entire mansion, and these subordinates are under the management of Mama Zhao.
Mama Zhao is very strict in her rules, and everyone in the house respects Mama Zhao. When Mama Zhao said this, no one would dare to laugh at them. Thinking that in the future, I can see the water cold every day, and I can still work together with each other, even Jiayue can't help but close his mouth.
Chen Wei's family couldn't help but laugh and said, "Even Jiayue, you can see your happy appearance ten miles away." ”
Lian Jiayue was embarrassed.
Chen Wei's family, seeing that Lian Jiayue was embarrassed, he didn't continue to joke, but just said something about what to do in the future. And said, because Lian Jiayue didn't have any relatives here, so the county lord said that he wanted Chen Wei's family to help him watch how the ceremony was carried out.
Saying this, Lian Jiayue hurriedly kowtowed in the direction of the county lord's mansion, and then saluted Chen Wei and his family, thanking Chen Wei and his family.
Chen Wei also felt that he had face, this was the meaning of the county lord valuing his husband and wife, so he also tried his best to do things well.
Next, Chen Wei and his wife came to do these trivial things, and the eight characters, set the day, and make the next post.
Two days after the incident, Shui Han thought about his own affairs, and Shui Lian also gave Shui Han all the deeds of the house. Shui Han personally accompanied by Shui Lian, selected two small maids, two maids, and two mothers-in-law. One of the mothers-in-law is a cook who can cook.
After choosing, Shui Han thought for a while, called the two little guys to the front yard, found Lian Jiayue over, and went to see his own small yard together.
After arriving at that small courtyard, Lian Jiayue saw Shui Han for the first time these days, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Shuilian had already found an excuse and walked away.
Shui Han also blushed, but thinking about some things to explain, he could only blush and say: "Don't be here, let's take a look at this yard, which ones are to be added, and which ones are to be used in the future, they are all set today, and then they will be handed over to someone to do." We still have a lot of errands on our own, and we can't afford to delay the county director for these things for us. ”
As soon as he said this, Lian Jiayue immediately sobered up and said: "We have received the great favor of the county lord, and we can't repay it, so naturally we have to do a good job of errands wholeheartedly." It's all me confused. I'll listen to Miss Shuihan from now on. ”
Shui Han's heart was sweet, and he blushed and said, "Shui Han girl, don't you just call me Shui Han." ”
Lian Jiayue saw that the beauty was flushed, and couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, and opened his mouth to say: "When there are no outsiders, can I call you Han'er?" ”
Shui Han's face turned even redder and said, "Whatever you want." ”
After speaking, he couldn't stand up in shame, and hurriedly walked forward, entered the door, and saw that it was a small courtyard with two entrances. The two of them walked around after a while. Lian Jiayue only felt that accompanying the beautiful woman to visit his future residence was the happiest thing in the world.
After all, Shui Han was following Chen Wenhui, and he was used to doing things, so after walking around, he had an idea and said: "The east wing of this front yard is for two small servants to live in first." The West Wing is of little use for the time being. It's empty. The main room was cleaned up and treated as the main room for guests. It can also be used as a study and accounting room. We will live in the backyard in the future. In the middle of the five rooms of the main house is the hall, the west side is empty first, and the east side is cleaned up as the main room. There are two jade rings in the east wing, and two mothers-in-law live in the back cover room. There are trees and flowers in the courtyard in the middle, and I don't think I need to clean it up, just plant a circle of roses in the corner, what do you think? ”
Lian Jiayue can have any opinions, naturally he will gradually follow.
Shui Han said: "There is also the west wing room in this backyard, which will be cleaned up as a guest room." The west wing in the front yard was also cleaned up as guest rooms. What if there are guests in the future? ”
"You don't have to worry about the furniture or anything. The county lord gave me something. ”
As he spoke, he reported all the things that Chen Wenhui had rewarded.
Lian Jiayue was dumbfounded.
Shui Han didn't care, and said to himself: "The dowry you gave was five hundred taels of silver, and the county lord also gave it to me." plus the one thousand taels of silver that the lord gave me, and more than two thousand taels of silver in my own hands, are all with me. I prepare, treat guests to dinner, do happy events, make furniture, buy curtains, door curtains, bedding and other things, and it will cost two or three hundred taels of silver. This is because most of the furniture and things were ordered by the county lord to buy them for me. But the lord of the county gave the shop five hundred taels of silver. Save us money and trouble. ”
Lian Jiayue said: "The county lord is too good to us. I was so lucky. ”
Shui Han smiled and said, "It's good to know gratitude." I will calculate that there are more than three thousand taels of silver left in our hands. In fact, the cost of our small yard, our monthly money, plus the output of the 100 acres of land given to me by the county lord, can also be used. However, it is better to buy some industries. In the future, we will also be a family, how can we not have an industry? ”
When Lian Jiayue heard this, he hurriedly said: "Actually, there are more than 20 acres of land outside my city, all of which were purchased for me by my good friend Lu Feng as soon as I entered the Iron Wall Pass. It was cheap then, but it's worth it now. Also, Lu Fengcai bought me two courtyards in Tiebi Guancheng, which are not big, but they are well separated, and they are rented out, and I can have an income of two taels of silver every month just by collecting rent. ”
Shui Han smiled and said, "I can't see it, you still know how to invest very well." Is that friend of yours, Lu Fengcai, the one who works at the bank? ”
Lian Jiayue hurriedly said yes.
Shui Han smiled and said: "That's trouble-free, you just give the three thousand taels of silver to Lu Fengcai, and ask him to buy us some profitable properties, anything." He was in the bank, saw a lot of people, and was well-informed. Where do we have the time to do this? ”
Lian Jiayue hurriedly agreed.
Shui Han took out three thousand taels of silver tickets from his purse.
Even Jiayue accepted it without thinking about it.
Shui Han and Lian Jiayue discussed how to arrange this courtyard again, and placed several servants in the courtyard.
Shui Han said: "You can return the yard that was given to you before." You've got a little guy to move in, too. From now on, you should live in the whole courtyard. Bring your furniture and use it first, and when it is time to get married, the dowry will be brought and the house will be in order. ”
Even Jiayue can have any opinions, and now what the beauty says is right. From this time on, he obeyed the water cold in everything. Stick to it for a lifetime. (To be continued......)
