Project 217
The girls were so happy that they touched the fabric and admired it, but it was like seeing such a lot of tribute material, and the color was so good-looking, they couldn't help but hold the fabric and be coquettish, "Sister-in-law, I want to pick two more batches, I want to make skirts." She dangled her legs and cheered happily.
Yang Lan nodded happily, "Cheng, it's all for you, each of you will pick a few favorite colors to go back to make clothes, and when I'm busy with this time, I'll take you outside to play, so that you can also see more little girls from other families, and choose some summer materials to make clothes." ”
The three girls of Zhuqing cheered happily when they heard this, and they were no longer restrained, they happily pulled the fabric and chose it, and came to ask Yang Lan's opinion, what color to wear to look good.
After the last, Yang Lan Zhuqing picked a cloth sprinkled with red roses to make a gown, and Yunqing picked a crimson sprinkling gold camellia flower color, as if he picked a pink sprinkling golden phalaenopsis style, and chose a few summer materials to go back to make clothes.
Yang Lan divided the jewelry she had prepared for the three of them, and asked them to take it back and wear it, so that they could wear it when they went out to look dignified and good-looking, and the girls were so happy that they thanked them again and again.
Out of her mother's room, Zhu Qing was a little uneasy and asked, "What is the purpose of giving us such valuable jewelry?" ”
Yun Qing was Hui Zhilan's heart reacted, "You are stupid, we told my sister-in-law a lot of things in the house that day, as well as the things of the people, it is estimated that my sister-in-law thought it was useful to send us thanks, you can just accept it with peace of mind, and it is the same if you have the opportunity to return it, and the days are still long." ”
Zhu Qing thought about it, it is rare for her sister-in-law to be so generous and good, and there will be opportunities to repay in the future, and she is not in a hurry at this moment. That's when I was relieved.
Wait until the girls are gone. Mrs. Rong put down the fabric and asked, "Are you going to take them out?" ”
Yang Lan sat casually on the lower hand chair. took a sip of tea and nodded, "It's not good for the children to be at home, take them out and go around, I know a lot of noble girls, and it's good to see and know more friends." ”
Mrs. Rong nodded, she also took the children out of the house, but she was really busy with the house, and she didn't have a lot of time to socialize. Even her own daughter is brought out of the city is a limited number of times, and now it is really good to have a daughter-in-law to help her, she knows all the nobles of the clan, if there are one or two girls who can take a fancy to them, it will also be the help of Brother Yi in the future.
"Zhuqing and Yunqing are also older, it's time to pick someone, I thought it would be the second half of the year to take a look, now you enter the door just to help me, choose a few more good people for me to come back, and we can pick them well." It is also practical to choose someone early, especially Zhuqing. It's thirteen, so there's really not much time. With that, Mrs. Rong felt that time was getting tight again.
Why do you have to look at people for two years, how is the child's conduct? How about the mother-in-law at home, these are all to be carefully chosen.
Yang Lan thought for a while and said: "I mean try to pick the children of the Qingliu family, a Qingliu family has rules, the big face will not be wrong, the girls are bound by the rules when they marry, and the masters don't dare to mess around." Most of the children of the Xungui family are gentlemen, and almost every family has one or two, while the children of the Qingliu family mostly rely on the imperial examination, which is the only way out, and they don't dare to waste time on this, relatively speaking, the rules can be better. Another is a little selfishness of mine, I think that our family has such a clear relative in the court, and it is much smoother to do things, and there are fewer obstacles, mother, what do you see? ”
Mrs. Rong nodded appreciatively, and even thought of it with herself, it seems that she is really thinking about the girls, yes, I can rest assured that this family will be handed over to her in the future with this kind heart, no matter when it comes, I will not forget my heart, a vicious and selfish clan woman is in charge of the clan, it is terrible, it is a nightmare for the entire clan.
"If you think so, I'm relieved, the girls are married, and they will all be with Brother Yi's help in the future, and the girls who go out of the house need the help of their brothers, and the eldest girl is just that, but the second girl has a brother, the second girl is married, and the third family can also be grateful to Brother Yi in the future, the third child is very good at studying, and I have praised it several times in the family science, I wonder about the possibility of the third family in the future." Mrs. Rong intentionally or unintentionally revealed the situation of the children in the family to Yang Lan, and actually taught her how to be in charge of the family council.
This director of the family is not only able to settle accounts, but also to gather good brothers and sisters and unite as one, which is the blessing of the clan, after all, the strength of unity is the greatest.
At this moment, Yang Lan felt that the four books and five classics and the four treasures of the study that she gave to the third and fourth children were really the right gift, and they were good things for them, she listened carefully to her mother-in-law's speech, and pondered in her heart.
"There is another thing, I am thinking about holding a clan meeting next month, I am thinking of asking Yuanzhi to donate five thousand taels of silver to the clan school, I will calculate this money to the second master, and there are two more houses with one entry and two entrances, who can be named on the gold list, and will be rewarded according to the ranking, what do you think?"
This hand was learned from her mother, and his princess mother stimulated the children in this way, and made the family study impressive, and this rejuvenation of the Yang family clan produced three jinshi and four lifters, which can be said to be very successful.
Mrs. Rong knew that the Yang family was still doing very well, so she also nodded, "Listen to you, you come up with a specific plan to draw it out, discuss it with Brother Yi, and wait until next month for the two of you to give it to the patriarch together." ”
Yang Lan smiled with a sigh of relief, "I want to fight for more support from the clan, especially the support of the clansmen, and ...... in the future." ”
Mrs. Rong's eyes lit up slightly, "What do you mean?" ”
"I don't have too good countermeasures, after all, the old lady over there is old, she is our elder, and now she has not made a move, I am always worried in my heart, I have always felt that the matter of the jade woman is probably not so simple, but I happened to break it, since the other party refuses to make a move, then I will make a move first, and envelop the clansmen, when is it always right." She decided to do the best for the better.
Mrs. Rong nodded, "I know that your Yang family's ethnology is very good, and there are a lot of students from your family in the spring of that year, and your good experience can also be used as a reference for our family. ”
Yang Lan smiled. "I'm relieved to have my mother's words. Don't worry, let's do the same. A little bit of it, you have to get it all right. ”
Mrs. Rong looked at Yang Lan's confident and tenacious eyes, and suddenly felt that she had strength in her heart, she was no longer alone in supporting this family, but she finally had a comrade-in-arms to rely on, and unconsciously got closer to this daughter-in-law in her heart.
The daughter-in-law understands her suffering, so she is willing to be a rafter, which is distressing and difficult to say. Follow Brother Yi wholeheartedly to live a good life, and want to honor me.
Mrs. Rong was a little moved in her heart, this daughter-in-law married well, and even I was wiped out, and I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Yang Lan saw that her mother-in-law's eyes were shining, and she knew that she must have felt something in her heart, she looked around about the past of this mother-in-law, and I have to say that she is really a little bit back, a daughter of a high-ranking family, and her family has a good character. But when the old lady got married, she changed her face, thinking that her family background was too good to be suppressed. suppressed her mother-in-law vigorously, but when the old marquis died, she lost the child and hurt her body, her mother-in-law complained about her, and made rumors everywhere to force her son to accept the child, and the old lady of the West Courtyard helped as a concubine.
The old lady saw the eldest grandson happily kicked her legs and left, the good guy is three years of filial piety, the eldest son is three years older than Yuanzhi, it is conceivable that the mother-in-law is really hard to support these years, and the suffering in her heart is not enough for outsiders, if it is not for the sister is the queen, I am afraid that there is no place to stand on her feet, so the old lady of the West Courtyard still refuses to let go of her mother-in-law, and she has to call over for training and talk about it at two ends in three days, and she presses people with the elders' shelves, which is really annoying.
But even so, the mother-in-law has not changed, she still maintains her heart, maintains a kind and upright style, treats her concubines and concubines equally, and has never treated her children badly, for many years, the children she has taught have all her talents, that is, the most squeamish uncle Rong Yan, who is also a sensible governor, willing to endure hardships, willing to endure hardships, and willing to be motivated.
Yang Lan felt it, "Mother, this family is blessed to have you, if it is replaced by me, I really can't guarantee that I will not change." She said earnestly and sincerely.
Mrs. Rong smiled bitterly and sighed, "I don't know how I survived, at that time, my sister was the most difficult time, and I needed the support of Master Hou, I can't add to the chaos anymore, the lives of our sisters are bitter first and then sweet, just get through it." There was deep exhaustion and powerlessness in the words, more of a woman's bitterness and inhumane grievances.
Yang Lan was silent, she didn't know what to say, some things are not her own personal experience, you will never understand the bitterness and hardship of others, no matter how much persuasion you have, it will appear to be overseas Chinese, it is better to do something practical to help, and be more sincere.
Yang Lan didn't go back at noon, Rong Yi said that he wouldn't come back to eat at the household today, he was very busy when he just went in, and he was going to be busy for a while, Yang Lan ate with her mother-in-law here, and let her cook make a few southern dishes to fill in, make up a meaning, and called the girls too, a table of ladies eating and laughing, and the girls' coquettish and soft voices were also very lively, and Mrs. Rong smiled.
In the afternoon, there was going on in the yard, and the first to show favor was the mother-in-law in the kitchen, who came to look at the accounts of these days, and Yang Lan probably looked at it and saw the sincerity.
"You just don't have to worry about doing it boldly, since you are in charge, I won't interfere with your actions more, as long as it is reasonable and well-founded, the extra silver is in your kitchen, I guess you also asked my cook, how is she now, you also know in your heart, I am not that stingy person, do not let the people below make some money, I allow you to make money, but to earn it above board, I can't see the one who steals chickens and dogs, can't you make money generously? Whoever you earn is rewarded for, and you have the final say on how much effort you should pay, but you can't let the people below sue me, saying that you are unfair, and the rewards and punishments are unknown, then I will have to change people. ”
Yang Lan half leaned on the big kang near the window, with a cushion with ginger embroidered blessing flowers behind her back, leaning lazily and crookedly, her eyebrows were picturesque, her expression was indifferent and calm, and she was not impressed by the courtesy of her mother-in-law.
