Zhenglu has been put down for a few years, and when he asks him to pick up the book again, he is stunned, and he doesn't know what to do.

Zhenghao couldn't hide his joy, and finally kept the clouds open and saw the moon.

Mama Tian grew up in the Yu family's courtyard, and said with a smile at this moment: "Young Master Lu, the old lady is right, my family is in his twenties and has the title of the gold list." You're only 20 years old this year, so it's okay to study hard for a few years to make a name for yourself. ”

When Jiang Shuncheng was fifteen years old, he was a famous talent in Jinyang City. Zhenglu looked suspicious, "I...... Really? In terms of reading, he is far less intelligent and talented than Yu Zhenghao.

Yu said: "The Yu family was originally a scholarly family, and those fields and Zhuangzi in the past were all taken care of by subordinates and stewards. I really didn't expect that I didn't come back for more than 20 years, and you ...... "full of self-blame, because she rarely asked questions when she was angry, she was angry in the first three years, but then she was really not angry, every time she corresponded with Jiang Shunxin, and asked the Yu family a few times, but Jiang Shunxin replied "very good" every time.

From Xiling Township to Nanqiao Township, it is only thirty or forty miles to walk, and if it is a horseback ride, it will take most of the day, and Jiang Shunxin has not been put on his mind because he is busy, and he can't inquire about the Yu family.

Yu Maocai looked remorseful, if Yu Zhenghao really came out, he was afraid that he would resent Jianzhong and Jiantong because of his mother's death.

Zhengqing scolded Qian'er and bowed deeply, "Aunt, grandmother, nephew and grandson also read well, I don't know if I can go to the imperial city to study." ”

Although the Yu family was angry with the father and son, Zhengqing was a generation after all. If the descendants have a future, they will be able to revitalize the Yu family. It turned out that his face was frosty, and he warmed up a little, "You are self-motivated, and you are good." I answered! Let's wait for the summer to go on the road with the descendants of the Jiang clan who went to study in the imperial city. ”

The Yu family spoke, as long as they arrived in the imperial city, they would give some care.

Zhengqing responded. Retire happily.

Yu Mao returned home from the Jiang Mansion and blamed his wife and daughter-in-law: "It's all you, I was reprimanded by the third sister." How many times have I told you, don't deceive the Nguyen Thi. Although she has a softer temperament, the eldest children are competitive. ”

Maocai's wife laughed twice. "Is it my fault? Who came up with the idea to give Sister Pan to the stupid son of the Zeng family? It's you who can't bear to be Sister Qiao, but now it's our head to blame. Ruan's short, just said that it was our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who forced it. Are you still not a man? ”

Yu Maocai was speechless for a moment, glaring viciously. "I can tell you, stop bullying the big house. The third sister can be stared at. I didn't expect that little girl to be so well-informed and inquire about our family's affairs clearly. ”

thought that the Yu couple would not understand the situation of each family clearly when they returned to their hometown to live, but Su Yan knew the inside story, which had to surprise Yu Maocai. I'm afraid that my plan will come to naught.

Jianzhong's wife asked in a low voice, "Father Weng." The Zeng family spoke. If we can help their Zeng family this time, let Qiao'er be the third young master's wife. ”

The third young master of Zeng, the second son of the Zeng family's big house.

This time it's not that fool, I heard that this Third Young Master Zeng has some ability.

Jianzhong said coldly: "It's better to think about how to make the third aunt take this breath." Don't ask about other people's affairs. ”

Jianzhong's wife said: "That...... But the young grandmother of the Zeng family. ”

If the sons of their respective rooms can also pass the test, the women in the family will be the official lady, and they can naturally marry into the official family.

Jian Tong's wife said: "I heard that the Xiling Jiang clan picked twelve school-age ladies to come out, and chose an elegant courtyard to raise them. It is to be dedicated to the imperial grandson and the magnates of the imperial city. ”

Jian Tong's head lit up, "Dad, the Jiang family's method is good." The third brother-in-law is a pillar of the imperial court, and this idea may have come up with him. What the Jiang family did, our Yu family naturally did too. How many young ladies in our family are still waiting for the boudoir? ”

The Yu family was originally a family, but it was no more decent and glamorous than the girls of the Xiling Jiang family.

Yu Maocai's heart was very confused.

There was a sound of talking outside, looking for prestige, and through the gate, I could see an ordinary house not far away, it was a small courtyard, three main houses, two side rooms, and a kitchen on one side, with a one-man high fence as the wall, and a carriage parked outside the wall, and two well-dressed girls came down from the car.

Qiao'er ran into the courtyard with her skirt in a hurry, "Grandpa, grandma, mother, I heard that my aunt and grandmother sent someone to pick up my sister and sister Rou?" I'm going to take them to the city. "It's not just asking, it's more envy.

Why don't you pick up the people who pick up the big house?

Without waiting for the elders to answer, I saw Sister Pan'er, dressed in coarse cloth clothes and dressed as a village girl, enter the courtyard gate and bowed: "Pan'er has seen grandfather and grandmother, and my aunt and grandmother have sent someone to pick me up and Rou'er, but the silkworm will be dormant in the near future, and it is the most important thing to delay." I want to ......"

Jiantong was rarely enthusiastic, and said: "You sisters just go to the city, and we will be at home." ”

"Thank you, Third Uncle!" Pan'er bowed and saluted, "If you sell the cocoon back, the money will go to the third aunt." ”

Jian Tong sneered: "This cocoon is only a few dollars, your family is going to have good luck, with your aunt and grandmother to help you, your family will enjoy endless glory and wealth." ”

Pan'er was not angry, but said softly: "Borrow the third aunt's auspicious words." Pan'er farewell! Take care of your grandfather and grandmother. He knelt down on his knees, slammed it, got up and walked out of the courtyard.

For such grandparents, uncles, and aunts, Pan'er was cold in the morning. She can't forget her weak mother, how she fought to protect her daughter, and finally had to choose that path, using the curse before death to avoid the fate of her daughter marrying a fool.

When the sisters Pan'er and Rou'er arrived, Xiangrui had just had lunch in the courtyard, and their own subordinates led their sisters to a well-cleaned courtyard.

Yu Jianzhang sat in the hall in the courtyard in a daze.

The brothers Zhenglu and Zhenghao were reading a book on the side.

Pan'er called: "Dad! ”

Zhenglu put down the book and asked, "Pan'er, are all arrangements at home?" ”

Zhenghao said: "Brother, you are always distracted, how can you study?" Don't forget that your aunt and grandmother have great hopes for you. ”

Zhenglu really can't see it, he has been put aside for a few years, he is now a good hand at doing crop work, and although his two younger sisters can also read some words, they are also good at raising silkworms.

Rou'er thought of those silkworms that were extremely raised, and she couldn't bear it, "This year, our sixteen silkworms in the dustpan have grown very well, and it is estimated that we will have to sleep tomorrow." When I go up to the cocoon mountain, I am afraid that I will have to use 30 silkworms, which must be sold for more than last year's silver. Thinking of so many silkworms, she said that she would give it to Sanfang, and Rou'er was a little distressed.

After Ruan's death, Zhenglu was on the outside, and the home was supported by the two sisters Pan'er and Rou'er.

Pan'er glared at her sister dotingly, and comforted her in a coquettish voice: "You, there is nothing more important than honoring your aunt and grandmother." ”

Mama Qing led the subordinates of the Jiang Mansion, stood at the gate of the courtyard and asked, "Miss Pan and Miss Rou haven't had lunch yet, right?" ”

Rou'er was young, ran out of the courtyard, and saw that these subordinates were dressed more decently than herself, and looked at it with a smile, and smelled the fragrance of meat and vegetables from a distance.

Qing Mama said: "The kitchen specially left food for the two young ladies, come, you eat it while it's hot." At this time, the old lady is accompanying Uncle Shu and Second Master Bai in Xiangrui Courtyard. The young masters, young ladies, and grandmothers over there are also here today, and it is very lively. "Putting the food on the table, three meat and two vegetables, and a bowl of green vegetables and egg soup, it is very tempting.

Pan'er asked, "Have your father and brother eaten it?" ”

"I've eaten it." Yu Jianzhang was in a dream, and he couldn't believe that because of his aunt's pity, the fate of their family was about to change.

Mama Qing stood on one side, watching the sisters eat.

Pan'er is delicate, Rou'er is even more beautiful, they are all the same age, if you change into good-looking clothes, you will look better.

Qing Mama said: "You two eat well first, the county lord sent the female official Xia to the city, and found the tailor of the rich embroidery village and the shopkeeper of the Jinji jewelry shop to send clothes and jewelry, and I will measure your body and make new clothes for you in a while." ”

Rou'er was slightly stunned, she wanted to make new clothes, and she couldn't believe it. She hasn't made new clothes for several years, and she has been wearing Pan'er's small clothes, although they are good, they are mostly patched.

Pan'er was light and looked up at Mama Qing: "My aunt and grandmother have treated us well enough, how can we be embarrassed to let them break the bank." ”

Mama Qing smiled gently, "The two young ladies are polite, the old lady said that you have suffered all these years. If you send someone back earlier, you won't know what you're doing. The old lady is blaming herself, don't refuse the old lady's kindness to feel sorry for you, let the old lady do something for you, so that she can feel more at ease. If she refuses, it will make the old lady feel uneasy, and she will really be unfilial. ”

Rou'er glared at a pair of large, attentive eyes, scanning at her father and brother.

Pan'er said softly: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Talking here, Bai Zhi led the tailor into the courtyard, called Yu Jianzhang and his son to the wing, and measured their father and son.

Bai Zhi instructed: "Two sets of middle clothes, two sets of spring shirts, two sets of summer clothes, the clothes are the ones I selected before, they must be made to fit, and the scarf wrapped around the head must also be made generous and decent." ”

Mama Qing also added a few words.

In the main room, the shopkeeper of the jewelry shop opened the six-story jewelry box, which contained gold and silver, as well as a head inlaid with pearls, or a layer full of earrings, or a layer full of hairpins, or a layer full of necklaces around the neck, all of which were considered decent.

The sisters Pan'er and Rou'er watched the shopkeeper take out the boxes one by one and place them on the table, full of jewelry. Rou'er was dazzled and looked at it in disbelief, as if in a dream. The family really fell into the honey pot, and because of the pity of their aunt and grandmother, they had to make new clothes, not to mention buying them jewelry.

Bai Zhi glanced at it, "Now all the new and good-looking jewelry is here?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "I picked the best-selling one in the store this year and sent it." ”

Bai Zhi replied "OK", "Two young ladies, can you pick two sets of heads?" ”

Pan'er looked at so many jewelry, she was at a loss for a while, she was wearing the most common silver earrings on her ears, only a silver hairpin on her head, and her hair was also tied with the simplest hairstyle, everything was so simple that it couldn't be simpler.

Rou'er looked at this piece, and then at that one, she had no idea, and reached out and gently pulled Pan'er, "Sister, you can help me pick it, so many jewelry, I am dazzled." ”
