Chapter 112
Although he is unwilling, Shu Chengye also has a sense of crisis, Yang Jianbai's character, temperament, and appearance, even the emperor wants to recruit him as a son-in-law, and the discerning person in this world is not only himself, but the school-age girls in the capital are not just their own Manyao.
When I go back to my home, let people inquire, okay, in just a few months, there have been more than a dozen waves of people who went to Yang's house to propose marriage. Mrs. Yang is not a lonely, the girl of the Ma family retreated, and the old lady wanted to control Yang Jianbai, so she had to make up her mind about Yang Jianbai's marriage. From September when Miss Ma returned to the Ma family with her dowry, to now in November, the old lady has held a total of three flower-viewing banquets, one crab banquet, and two tea banquets.
Shu Chengye knew that Mrs. Yang couldn't make these things, but she couldn't help but block people, in case she got an aunt or something to enter the door before Manyao passed the door, it would be so embarrassing and panicked.
Thinking about it like this, Shu Chengye's attitude eased a little, and when Zaijian arrived at Yang Jianbai, he didn't have a stinky face. I went back and discussed with the old lady, seeing that Yang Jianbai was very sincere, and when he came twice, he would take this family affair down.
Yang Jianbai is a smart person, seeing that Shu Chengye was shaken, within three days, he invited the official media to come to the door. The old lady is not as procrastinating as Shu Chengye, obviously the matter has been decided, but she has to struggle, she is old, and seeing that Man Yao is eighteen years old, Man Jin and Man Yu are not young, so they quickly settled this matter.
As soon as the Shu family relented, Yang Jianbai's actions became even faster, and after the official media replied, while preparing the dowry, he entered the palace to ask for the holy decree of marriage. The emperor had already written the holy decree, and seeing that Yang Jianbai couldn't wait, he made fun of him fiercely, but he didn't delay, and sent people to Yang's house and Shu's house to read the holy decree on the same day.
As a result, the marriage between Yang Jianbai and Shu Manyao was finalized with lightning momentum, which shook the jaws of a group of people. Even Shu Manyao herself didn't expect Yang Jianbai to act so quickly, she also estimated that it would take at least half a year, although the Yang family was separated, but the old lady of the Yang family would never let Yang Jianbai live so smoothly.
Especially Yang Jianbai's marriage, how could the old lady of the Yang family not interfere? It is not easy for Yang Jianbai to deal with the old lady. Unexpectedly, Yang Jianbai directly came to the bottom of the two kettles to draw salary, without notifying the Yang family at all, and directly asked the emperor for the holy decree of marriage.
At this time, I don't know what the people of the Yang family are angry about.
Shu Chengye has been so long, and it is not so unpleasant to look at Yang Jianbai, plus Yang Jianbai greets him every day, and sends some calligraphy and paintings from time to time, he feels that Yang Jianbai is filial enough, and after receiving the holy decree, he only pouted, and asked the old lady to discuss the day of marriage.
Cheng sat under the old lady with his stomach in his hand and said with a smile: "The eldest girl is a blessed person, Yang Gongzi is young, he is already a third-grade general, and in a few years, he will definitely be able to earn a phoenix crown for the eldest girl." ”
Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu were a little sour in their hearts, the Yang family did not avoid anyone about the marriage proposal, and the two of them naturally heard about it. I was angry and angry in my heart, I couldn't understand how Shu Manyao was so lucky, Yang Gongzi not only had a bright future, that looks, and that character...... Rationing Shu Manyao was really wasted.
The old lady's smiling eyes narrowed: "Our family Manyao, she has been blessed since she was a child." By the way, Man Yao's dowry, I have already written a list, during this time, you will prepare all this, Man Yao is a girl's family, and you can't meddle in these things, you can only work hard. ”
Shu Manyao leaned against the old lady, her cheeks slightly red: "Grandmother, I still have something to ask grandmother." ”
The old lady smiled and motioned to her, Shu Manyao looked at Cheng: "Before, my mother said that she was not familiar with the Shu family, so she didn't want to take care of the house, but my mother was the housemother of the Shu family, and these things always had to be managed. ”
Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't, Man Yao should be considerate and considerate of me, I just have a body at this moment, and I only think about eating, sleeping and sleeping all day long, and I have a headache when I mention the housekeeper's affairs, Man Yao can let me go." ”
The old lady suddenly realized: "Speaking of which, Man Yao really shouldn't be a housekeeper, this wedding date is set for May next year, there is only half a year left, Man Yao has a lot of things to do, and she must have no energy to take care of the housekeeper." ”
It's just that, looking at Cheng's belly, the old lady was a little hesitant, she wasn't afraid that Cheng's would be uneasy and kind, Cheng had been in the door for so long, he always kept his self-preservation, never mixed with anything, and didn't fight for anything, he was smart, she was just worried about Cheng's belly, it was less than three months, and her body was not very stable, if she was tired, the child in her belly ......
Thinking about it, the old lady's eyes turned to Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu again, Shu Manjin flashed ecstasy in her heart, and quickly lowered her head to cover it. Shu Manyu was very arrogant: "Grandmother, if no one cares, it's better to leave it to me, I only learned housekeeping a few years ago, I haven't touched it all these years, and I'm about to forget it, so you let me learn it." ”
Shu Manjin hurriedly pulled Shu Manyu and was about to speak, but Shu Manyu broke away from her hand sideways: "Grandmother, I'm serious, otherwise, you can find a mother to help me?" Is it okay for Mother Li? ”
Seeing that Shu Manyao had a very good family, Shu Manyu suddenly reacted, he was only two years younger than Shu Manyao, because of his filial piety in the first half of this year, and the ceremony was only held at home, which was not very grand, but after the ceremony, it was time to find his mother-in-law's house.
Daddy is a person who doesn't care about things, and Cheng is unwilling to take over these things, so only grandmother is left. Shu Manyu also knew that compared with Shu Manyao, the old lady didn't like her very much, but for the future, Shu Manyu still had to please the old lady and make the old lady like her.
At this time, the old lady was worried about the housekeeper's affairs, so she shared the worries for the old lady, if the old lady was not worried about her housekeeper, then let the old lady's henchmen guide by her side, in short, do a good job this time, the old lady will definitely change her opinion.
Shu Manyu is not smart, but she is not stupid either, since she no longer believed Shu Manjin's words, she felt that her life seemed to be a lot calmer. At this time, pleasing the old lady is even more regarded as the first priority: "Mother Li has also instructed the eldest sister before, she is very experienced, if Mother Li helps me, I will definitely not do anything wrong." ”
The old lady was slightly surprised, Shu Chengye touched his beard on the side and said, "What Manyu said makes sense, mother, you are old, and you haven't taken care of these things for many years." Si Rui now has a body, it's not good to bother, and Man Yao has to be busy with the dowry, but this big family can't be left alone, why don't you let Man Yu and Man Jin try? ”
"Alright then, then let Manyu and Manjin try." The old lady thought about it and nodded in response, after all, she is her own granddaughter, where can she really let it go? It just so happened that Manjin and Manyu were a lot more honest during this time, so let them try their skills.
"The two of you have always been good, this time the housekeeper, let's come together." Shu Manjin has always been more good at pretending, although he and Manyu have a conflict, they are still affectionate on their faces, Manyu doesn't care whether they are demolished or not, so the old lady doesn't know that the two sisters are actually incompatible, just when they are still as affectionate as before.
"The kitchen, the sewing room, and the return room, these three places are under the control of Man Jin, the tea room, the treasury, the attendant office, and the secretary's room and the account room, these places are under the control of Man Yu, Man Yao, you go back and give them the account book and key."
The old lady turned her head to look at Shu Manyao, Shu Manyao nodded with a smile, not reluctant at all, anyway, her wedding date has been set, sooner or later she will marry out of the Shu family, and she can't pinch this housekeeping until she gets married.
What's more, she doesn't have so much energy to take care of the house, although the wedding dress is already more than half done, but choosing a dowry and taking care of the dowry are all things, and it will also be the foundation of her foothold in the Yang family in the future, which is not more important than managing the Shu family?
Touching Shu Zhihui's little head beside her, Shu Manyao said with a smile: "Grandmother, since you let the second sister and the third sister exercise, don't give Mother Li to the third sister, after all, Mother Li is serving her grandmother, if she leaves, I'm afraid that my grandmother will not be used to it, grandmother might as well let go and let the second sister and third sister do it, what happened, isn't there still a grandmother and a mother?" ”
The old lady nodded: "What Man Yao said is that if there is Mother Li's guidance, Man Yu can't let go of her hands and feet, and it won't play any role, then I won't send someone over to help you, and you can make up your own mind about everything." ”
Turning her head to look at Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu, the old lady explained: "If there is anything you don't understand, go and consult your eldest sister first, and then if you can't make up your mind, go ask your mother." ”
Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu hurriedly got up and saluted, both of them were very excited, and finally touched the housekeeper's right, this Shu family, won't they have the final say in the future? Think about Shu Manyao's jiashi who wanted the wind and rain in the past, in the future, he can do the same, right?
The most important thing is that Shu Manjin thought of Shu Manyao replacing the maids beside their sisters before, turned her eyes outside, and saw Xia Xi and Winter Twilight standing in the corridor, can she also replace the maids beside her?
In the end, it is an opponent for many years, Shu Manyao understood Shu Manjin's plan at a glance, and couldn't help but sneer, this Shu Manjin is really smart and confused for a while, do you really think that this time can be the same as that time?
At that time, Xu's death could not be publicized, and Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu happened to make a mistake again, and this excuse for sending the maid was above board. At this time, she is about to get married, whose girl will send her personal maid? Isn't that a clear way to tell outsiders that there is something wrong with this girl?
Even if she Shu Manjin is willing to sacrifice her reputation, the old lady will never agree. Besides, is she Shu Manyao easy to bully when she looks at it? can't even keep his own maid, so he can be regarded as a white housekeeper all these years.
