521 Lu Family Affairs
Lu Kang clenched his fists and bowed, "Grandma Liang, let's be busy first, tomorrow is auspicious, and General Ben will come to marry!" ”
This day was the busiest day for Grandma Li and Han.
Feng Xiaocai remarried, and he couldn't marry from his sister or brother-in-law's family.
Second Grandma Li wanted to borrow the Li family's villa, but the old lady of the Li family disagreed.
Feng Xiaochun had no choice but to send his sister to an inn in the imperial city, and sent a capable mother-in-law and a girl to accompany him, and occupied another room with the dowry and other things, while he and Li Er's grandmother were busy preparing the dowry.
Second Grandma Li didn't know how to prepare, and she never prepared a dowry and other things at hand, so she went to Jiang's house and asked Li Biling for help.
Li Biling handled the marriage conveyed by Jiang in her hands, and helped Dafang marry Cao Yu'e. She thought for a while, sat in front of the desk and wrote a long list, Feng Xiaochun called someone to come, and was dispatched by Li Biling, and chose a mother-in-law to purchase silk and clothing, and picked a steward who looked calm and unsmiling to buy ornaments, porcelain bottles and other things, and asked the kitchen steward who was good at cooking to buy ingredients......
It's well organized, not messy.
Even Feng Xiaochun secretly admired it, although Li Biling was not young, this virtuous kindness alone was rare. It is no wonder that everyone in the world chooses a woman from the Jiang family, and virtuous and capable are the first priority, just looking at Li Biling, he knows that this is true. Even she doesn't have Li Biling's shrewdness and ability, let alone Feng Xiaocai.
Grandma Liangfu was so busy because she wanted to marry her sister.
At dusk, Feng Xiaochun, with the help of Li Biling's mother and daughter, purchased sixteen dowries, although everything was not precious, but it was also decent.
Feng Xiaochun was tired of picking up the chair in the flower hall. I couldn't move anymore, "My mother, I've never seen such a hurry." ”
Li Biling said with a smile: "It's not that General Lu is in a hurry, it's that Ke Jinghou regretted it several times earlier." Pornography a few times. Ke Jinghou finally agreed, he was afraid of another turmoil, so he was in a hurry to do a happy event. ”
Han Shi was also busy, shaking his head again and again: "There is a marriage letter for hiring." Geng post and token as evidence, what is he afraid of? ”
Li Biling said: "I heard my aunt and sister-in-law say at home that in May, General Lu and a young lady surnamed Huang were engaged, and Ke Jinghou actually went to Huang's house, saying that Miss Huang was a concubine when she passed the door, so angry that the Huang family turned their faces at that time, and said that they would withdraw from their relatives. General Lu is really afraid, he is brave and resourceful. He waited to keep his promise to be a righteous brother. Blindly treat the horses and the children left by General Zhang Er. It also hurt General Lu. ”
Feng Xiaochun heard it at this moment, and he was dizzy for a while, and he met such an unreliable Weng father. She is really worried about the future of her sister Feng Xiaocai. But she could see that this General Lu Kang was a governor. If he can say those words, he must be a man who loves his wife.
Second Grandma Li said: "Xiaochun, if you can trust me, I will give you an idea, how about it?" ”
Li Biling was tired, and at the end of this day, she was almost exhausted, everything she picked back had to be seen, and she had to lead her subordinates to decorate the dowry.
Feng Xiaochun said: "Aunt Tang, it doesn't hurt if you have something to say. ”
Second Grandma Li sighed, "You can find a Korean matchmaker now, saying that you are worried that Xiaocai will be angry if she passes through the door, and she is unwilling to marry into Kejing Houfu, and she is willing to live alone in a single courtyard." ”
Li Biling's heart turned around: What kind of idea is my mother?
However, if Lu Kang agreed, it would be really good.
She heard the grandmothers of the Jiang family laugh and talk about Lu Kang's Yuan and Ma's family, and she was a rural village woman, with a chicken at her mouth and a duck with her mouth closed. She didn't understand a word about what the official grandmothers talked about, and when people talked about female celebrities, she asked, "Is it my daughter's red wine?" "I don't even know that the needle worker girl is popular, since marrying Lu Kang, I don't know how many jokes have been made in the imperial city, and I am very disliked by the grandmother and wife of the princess family.
Grandma Li said: "Just wait for Lord Lu, that's Xiaocai has Weng's father, but why does Xiaocai want to wait for the son and grandmother of the Ma and Zhang Er's family...... And that Ma family, you haven't seen it, but I've heard the grandmothers of the Jiang family say that the whole is a village woman, no, she is more vulgar than a village woman......"
Feng Xiaochun opened his mouth and stammered, this parent is engaged, what if Lu Kang disagrees and proposes to withdraw from the marriage? Earlier, she was worried that her poor sister, even if someone wanted it in the future, she was afraid that it would be the life of a concubine. "That's ...... Can it be done? ”
"It can be done, it can be done! It can be done! Second Grandma Li didn't care, relying on her identity as Feng Xiaochuntang's aunt, she called a capable little maid and told him a few words and asked him to invite Han.
The Han family happened to be talking to the newly married daughter and son-in-law, so he heard the girl come and say that the Liang family sent someone to invite her over.
Han put down the teacup.
Jiang Shien said with a smile: "My mother is really getting busier and busier as an official media. ”
Han smiled and thought that it was a good thing to be a matchmaker, and she was still an official media, first helping the old palace maid who came out of the palace to find a husband, and it was really frustrated into a lot of good fate in the past few months.
With her own hands, she earned a good dowry for Jiang Shien, and when she finished it, she blocked it from the annex under the name of the Jiang family, and even the Shen family was surprised, "Grandma Hui is really powerful, and she has purchased nearly thirty dowries in just a few months." "This kind of thing is difficult for rich and noble families to do, not to mention that she is a woman and has no husband to help, so it is really rare for her to be able to do such a beautiful thing.
Han said: "This is a ready-made business. As soon as Master Jiang Wu chose Miss Du, General Lu went to the Jiang family to ask to marry the retired miss, isn't it fate. Ming'er wants to do a happy event, so she may have come to me to discuss. ”
Since Han became an official media, he has really made a lot of money back. Although it is necessary to hand over a part of the income to the official media office every month, that part is only a minority, and the official media has a greater advantage than the private media, but the official media who are willing to endure hardships can also make a lot of money as a matchmaker a year.
Jiang Shien said warmly: "Come back early." ”
Han said: "Just let someone keep the back door for me, and I'll come back through the back door, so as not to disturb your mother-in-law and Weng father." ”
After Jiang Shien married Yu Zhenglu, Han became Yu Jianzhang's mother-in-law, lived in Yu's house, and lived in the same courtyard with Jiang Shien and his wife.
Yu's house is a three-entry courtyard, and there are seven large and small courtyards in it, and the Han family doesn't want to live alone, saying that it is too lonely, and wants to live with Jiang Shien and his wife.
After Zeng Yumei made a continuation of Yu Jianzhang, she opened an embroidery workshop, and the business was not bad.
Yu Jianzhang opened a small auction house in the West Market of the Imperial City, and with the help of Jiang Chuan, some small businesses were gradually transferred to the auction house, and the signboard was "Exclusive Auction House West Market Branch" in front of the five words very attractive, but the four small "West Market Branch" were written below, and a notice was put up to explain the scope of his business, and only objects with a value of less than two hundred taels of silver were accepted.
After opening for a month, the business was not bad, he made a rough calculation, in addition to the expenses of the shopkeeper, Xiao Er, and running the hall in a month, he also earned 2,800 taels of silver, excluding the part of the dividends with the Jiang family, he himself made a net profit of more than 1,600 taels. Zeng Yumei's embroidery workshop earned less than 100 taels of silver in a month, which made Yu Jianzhang more and more confident, believing that the life of the family would get better and better, and he went out early and returned late every day, busy talking about business.
Some small pawnshops and small money houses often have income, and they also sent them to ask him to help with the auction.
Yu Jianzhang is like a person who has taken tonic wine all day long, and when he has something to do, the whole person seems to be ten years younger and full of energy.
Zeng Yumei is virtuous, distressed that Pan'er and Rou'er have lost their mothers since they were children, and treat the sisters as their own children, and because they lived in a courtyard in Wenzhong Houfu earlier, they are also familiar with each other and get along well. Zeng Yumei knew that it was not easy for her stepmother, and after Jiang Shien entered the door, she asked Jiang Shien to take care of the back house, and she devoted herself to the matter of the embroidery workshop. Doing so also reduced her conflicts with the Yu family's brothers and sisters.
Yu Zhenglu and Yu Zhenghao brothers studied hard, there was Jiang Shien in the house in the house, and Yu Jianzhang outside who wanted to make more money, all his thoughts were spent on reading, and even Yu Zhenglu could do a few articles and write a few poems decently.
Yu Jianzhang said to his children at every turn: "It's better to be busy, you can make more money if you are busy, and if you make money, you can buy some family business." Zhenghao has to have a dowry when he gets married, and the dowries of Pan'er and Rou'er also have to be prepared......"
The Han family is busy, but the family has been busy for a few months, and they have prepared a decent dowry for Jiang Shien, a woman can still do it, and Yu Jianzhang believes that he can do it too.
He felt more and more that his current life was truly a human being. Without the suppression of the second and third rooms, without the difficulties of his parents, he can do whatever he wants, and he can still let go of some big things.
When Yu Jianzhang was sitting in the side hall of the upper room with a twilight meal, Han followed the little girl to the Liang Mansion again.
Second Grandma Li said what Feng Xiaochun meant.
Han Shi was stunned for a moment, "Don't say it's you, even if I enter the Kejing Waiting Mansion, I will be depressed." On the outside, it is the public waiting house, and inside is the suburbs and countryside, the chickens and ducks in a house, and the radish and cabbage in a place. ”
She took a sip of tea, Grandma Li Er often goes to the Pingguo Mansion, and she knows a lot about the affairs of the Lu family in Kejing, the Han family doesn't want to hide anything, if the man and woman know each other and choose, so that the good fate of the achievement will not complain about the matchmaker.
Han said: "Next door to Kejing Houfu is Rongguo Mansion, and the wife and grandmother of Rongguo Mansion have sent people to complain, saying that they sleep soundly every morning, and the big rooster of Kejing Houfu will crow, so noisy that they can't sleep well." ”
Rongguo Gong Cheng Dayong also went to warn Lu Ping'an, and Lu Ping'an also said that Lu's grandmother Ma's, but Ma's asked rhetorically: "The rooster's mouth is long, how can I control it." ”
It's the same as not saying it.
The rooster still sings, and the dogs in the house bite every man.
Several families living around him were deeply affected, and some people even impeached Ke Jinghou because of this incident, accusing him of disturbing people's dreams.
This is an unprecedented thing, and when the officials heard this, they laughed at it. Lu Kang felt very embarrassed, but Lu Ping'an didn't think so, pretending that it hadn't happened.
Feng Xiaochun shook his head after hearing this, "It's really the first time I've heard of such a thing." ”
Second Grandma Li was straightforward: "It's really mud that can't support the wall." General Lu has always disagreed with this family, and it was Lu Houye who forced him to marry back. When I came back to my senses, I realized that I had taken the words away, "I have to go to the Korean matchmaker again, talk to General Lu, and ask him to set up a yard for my family Xiaocai elsewhere and live a good life seriously." ”
