The girl is more beautiful than her, isn't it going to hook Jiang Shukun's heart.

Zhan Yan said: "Mother, aren't you still at ease with your father?" What kind of person he is, he is wholeheartedly good to you. ”

Twenty years ago, but it's been twenty years, she's no longer young, she's not beautiful anymore, God knows if he'll change. Murong looked at these young and beautiful women, and his heart was uncomfortable.

Zhan Yan went to the courtyard where the transmission was far away and conveyed, and picked a few who were diligent and pleasing to the eye to stay, and the others were also sent away.

After finishing these, it was almost noon when I returned to Qinglin Garden.

The Shen family sent someone to come, saying that they would eat in one place at night, and not many men from the Jiang family would return to the house today, so only a few young masters from the big house would come back.

It was winter, and the college was closed. Jiang Chuanliang doesn't have to go to the academy. Jiang Chuanji came back from the yamen early this morning and said that his boss had gone to the palace to attend a banquet. Jiang Chuanye took the scientific examination this year and won the second rank of Jinshi, although he was ranked more than 50th, which also made Shen happy.

Jiang Chuanye and Cao Yu'e have set a good date, which will be on the 10th day of February next year.

When Shen was free, he was preparing for the dowry. Although it is the second son, according to the example of the eldest son, only a handful of four dowry gifts are missing, and there can be too much for fear of others talking.

At dusk, the evening food in the Ruyi Hall is served.

Zhan Yan accompanied her mother to approach Ruyi Hall under the guidance of the girl, but she saw a beautiful moon cave room, and even the courtyard gate was round, which was very elegant. Behind him, followed by a few people carrying boxes, this is a gift prepared by Zhanyan for the elders all the way, and everyone in each room has a share.

Shen sat beside Yu, watching the two people move in the direction of the courtyard gate from a distance, and Zhan Yan wore the winter robe prepared by Shen in the morning, a brand-new purple three-inlaid leader autumn fragrance color narrow coat with small sleeves to cover the silver mouse short jacket, inside is a short water red palace satin fox stump pleats, and the waist is tightly tied with a bow and long spikes. Five-color palace silk, wearing deerskin boots at his feet.

Among the eyebrows and eyes, half of them have the beauty of Murong's youth, and half of them have the appearance of Jiang Shukun, and they are also a good age like flowers and jade, and they are slightly richer than ordinary daughters, and they have a red face, always as if they have been dyed with rouge.

Red-faced people have a skin color for people who stay in the Northwest all year round, both men and women.

He hurriedly got up. greeted him with a smile, "I've seen my second sister-in-law!" ”

Seeing that the He clan was so young, the Murong clan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Zhan Yan saluted: "Zhan Yan to meet Grandmother!" Grandmother auspicious! He turned around and met Shen and He again.

Because it was the first time I saw Zhanyan. She is the eldest granddaughter of her grandchildren. Yu's people took a gift prepared early in the morning, a pair of valuable jade bracelets.

Shen also took his favorite pearl hairpin as a meeting gift.

He gave a little emerald hairpin.

Zhang Shuangshuang gave a beautiful gold-inlaid jade necklace.

And it can't be precious or not, but each has its own intentions, and in Zhanyan's eyes, they are all good things.

Yu beckoned. motioned for Zhan Yan to sit down beside him, and asked about the situation on the road, and Zhan Yan replied politely. The Yu family was a little surprised, in her imagination, Zhan Yan Ying, like the Murong family, could only dance with knives and sticks. doesn't want to show her face but has the demeanor of everyone's ladies, and she advances and retreats well, which reminds her of the Li family's Biling. I thought about it again. Fortunately, the granddaughter is not like the Murong family, at a glance, she is decent, in the end, she is the lady of the Wangmen family, and her behavior is much stronger than that of the small family.

A few women used the twilight food, and the girls took the freshly filled soup woman. One for each of them, hold it in his arms and pull it up.

Yu asked, "Can you be literate?" ”

Zhan Yan replied in a warm voice: "I've read some." ”

Yu is still a loving grandmother. Asked: "Have you read all the "Four Books and Five Classics", and have you memorized "Female Appearance" and "Female Virtue"? ”

Zhan Yan said again: "I've read it all, but I haven't memorized it." ”

Yu Shi pulled Zhanyan and said, "You have to use some heart." The Luo family is a family in the imperial city, and the rules are more than ours, and Luo Siyuan's child is also angry, and this time the palace has been in the Tanhualang. This year, the top three have also found an errand in the Ministry of Rites, and they are capable, and they have done a good job listening to your grandfather and your uncle. ”

Murong had heard someone say early in the morning that Luo Siyuan was a talented young man, and now he was Tanhualang, and said with a smile: "Zhanyan can find this good relative, thanks to his mother-in-law and sister-in-law Zhang Luo." Thank you mother-in-law, thank you sister-in-law! ”

The Yu family glanced at the Murong family, although they still didn't like it very much, but they didn't dislike her as much as they did twenty years ago, and said, "In order to choose a good family for the third young master, it's almost time for the prince to choose a concubine." It's a family affair of Zhanyan, and your sister-in-law, third brother and sister, and I don't bother much. ”

Murong Clan gathered up his hearty temperament in the northwest, and dealt with it carefully, and did not dare to speak and behave as casually as before.

Because it was winter, Yu was going back to bed at the second watch, and several grandmothers retired one after another.

As soon as he got out of the courtyard gate of Ruyi Hall, Murong took Shen's hand and begged: "Sister-in-law, you have to help me, I don't know how to take care of housework, I can't let Zhanyan learn from me." Sister-in-law is a good hand at presiding over the feed and taking care of housework, and now that Zhanyan is back, you have to take her and teach her more, otherwise what will happen if she marries into the Luo family? ”

Shen knew Murong Clan's temperament, and said with a smile: "Second brother and sister, don't worry, if you don't talk about it, I will say it too." In the future, let Zhanyan learn some by my side. You are blessed, your daughter is well-behaved and lovely, but your temperament is really seven points similar to the Murong family of the Li family, she is also like you, she is a straightforward character, and her second daughter is very sensible and can advance and retreat. ”

The Shen family had no intention of embarrassing the Murong family, she really wanted to help the second room. As Jiang Shuhong said, they are the eldest daughter-in-law of the long house, and they have to show some of the demeanor of the eldest brother and sister-in-law. Moreover, Jiang Shukun has military merits, and if he is promoted to the title, it will also be of great help to their big house.

Murong Shi bowed and said, "Everything has Sister-in-law Lao." In the future, my sister-in-law will just teach Zhanyan as a daughter, and I will remember my sister-in-law's goodness. ”

"The second brother and sister are polite! And rest for a few more days, and when the New Year is over, let Zhanyan and I learn to host the feed and take care of housework. Alas......" Shen sighed lightly, "We can talk about this matter in private, and you must not mention it in front of your mother-in-law." The little aunt and grandmother in the family said that they would not learn anything about it, and the mother-in-law was worried about something because she couldn't find a good family to be engaged. ”

Murong looked at He and Zhang Shuangshuang on the side, "My sister-in-law has to be talented, good-looking, and has an excellent temperament, why can't I find a good family?" ”

Seeing that it was his own family, even the Shen family treated the Murong family very politely, and said: "My sister-in-law is one of the best in this imperial city, just because it is so good, ordinary people dare not expect it." King Wu watched from the sidelines and said that he would marry a concubine; The princess on the left shoulder also saw it and refused to stop, who still thinks about it. ”

These two are all powerful people in the dynasty, the emperor's grandson, the emperor's nephew, even if other families take a fancy to it, they don't dare to mention their relatives, and dare to rob women with King Wu and Yan Shizi, which is fatal.

Zhang Shuangshuang said in a low voice, "There are three or two who don't know what to do, but they want to ask for the little aunt, even the grandfather and Weng Dad can't see it." ”

The Shen family and the He family also told the Murong family mother and daughter to have a good life.

A few people whispered a few words and dispersed.

The He clan accompanied the Murong clan to move in the direction of Qinglin Garden. He was in charge of the embroidery room and said: "My niece Ming'er came to my courtyard, I will take you to the embroidery room, and make a few clothes, it is the same age as flowers, but you have to dress up beautifully." Today's winter coat looks a little small, and tomorrow it fits. ”

Shen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took a ride and looked back at He.

Zhang Shuangshuang said: "Can you see that the third aunt is a little unusual?" ”

Shen laughed twice, "She is restless, but your third uncle is a well-behaved person and disdains to deal with her." Your second uncle can't run away with a marquis, he has fought in the northwest for a few years, and there are only five generals alive, Marshal Yang's father and son have already had knighthoods, and there are only two generals left, Lu and Cheng. ”

Zhang Shuangshuang thought of He's efforts to please Murong's mother and daughter, and he wanted to laugh in his heart, "The second room can marry Li and Luo, and my mother has made great contributions." ”

The He family will not stammer with the Murong family for no reason, although Zhang Shuangshuang can't guess the reason, but he is not afraid of the relationship between the second room and the third room. The Shen family helped the young master and young lady in the second room find a good relative, although the Murong family has a big personality, but he is a person who remembers his kindness.

"This merit belongs to the grandfather and wife, and the candidates are also set by them."

Zhang Shuangshuang was puzzled, this was obviously set by the Shen couple with the help of the couple, and even Jiang Chuanji and Jiang Chuanliang brothers came in handy in those days to help explore the character and family style of those families.

Shen Shi nodded: "There are some things that have been helpful, but just mention it once." Don't talk about it all the time, talk too much, it's a kindness, but it's a grudge. Besides, the second uncle is your father's younger brother, and it is also his duty to help as a brother and sister-in-law. ”

Zhang Shuangshuang responded hesitantly, savoring Shen's words repeatedly.

Shen said again: "As the eldest daughter-in-law of the long house, you have to be generous, and you must look like an eldest daughter-in-law." The uncles in the back are doing well, and your life is easy, if they don't have a good life, there is a dilemma, can you still care? ”

Zhang Shuangshuang's heart sank, could it be that Shen's words were hinting at something, saying that she had not contributed to the marriage of the inheritance, and she didn't even bother to ask about the preparation of the dowry.

can't let the Marquis of Wenzhong, who wants to get it, fall to someone else, it's theirs, and it's her son's. Zhang Shuangshuang looked humble: "Please also ask my mother for advice, did my daughter-in-law do something wrong?" ”

Shen Shi breathed a sigh of relief, "I grew up watching you, the Zhang family and the Jiang family are world friends, and the New Year is coming soon, so you have to pay more attention to the things you are asked to manage." Although children are important, family affairs are also important. Speaking of tiredness, am I not more tired than you? There is a Weng Po above, and there are a lot of children and grandchildren below, so you can't worry about it.

Even if there are many things, they are all dedicated. There are still a few days to go before the New Year, Ming'er, you come over and check with me the gift list for the provinces. On the second side of the room, when the time comes, I will ask again, is it a gift in one place, or a separate gift? The third room has been separated from us for several years, but the gifts on your grandfather's and grandmother's side are in charge of our big house. ”
