Chapter 167: Wu Zhi and the Hu Clan
The grievances of the Tian family are all about Zhen Niang's business.
She just guarded Li's ink shop and her family like a nesting hen.
No, for Tian Er, she mentioned a heart, this guy used to be a straw bag in her eyes, but now looking at the drama of this brother's fight, the trick is very familiar, and she has to beware of him in the future.
In the evening, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li's shopkeeper both rested, got up and ate some soup and water, and the whole person was comfortable, and then the family sat in the backyard and chatted, at this time, the third uncle and the third uncle of the Luo family and Luo Jiu came to the door.
Next, I want to talk about Zhen Niang's engagement with Luo Jiu.
So Zhen Niang was driven into the house by the Zhao family, no matter how capable she is, she can be the master, this kind of thing must be avoided, Zhao Su has always accompanied Zhen Niang to talk.
Hua'er's girl ran at both ends to make a spy, first eavesdropping on the matter of Zhenniang and Luo Jiu, and then came to report to Zhenniang.
"The day after tomorrow is an auspicious day, and you can officially ask for names, but the seventh grandmother and the eighth uncle discussed with the third uncle and third uncle of the Luo family, your wedding day is set for next year, after the Gongmo election, the seventh grandmother also said, even after marriage, you have to worry about the affairs of this ink workshop, Luo Gongzi all responded one by one, and there was no unhappiness at all...... "The flowers are chattering."
Zhen Niang listened, her face was also a little hot, about the marriage is set to be next year's Gongmo election, Zhen Niang is basically estimated, after all, now there are several kinds of ink in the ink workshop are developed by her, and the seventh grandmother and grandfather are old after all, and their energy is not good, and their father has an accident with Gongmo last time because of him. So so. It is unjustifiable that he presided over the Gongmo campaign.
And Uncle Jing Dong. His legs are inconvenient, and he has always studied ink mold carving plates, and he is not very proficient in ink making, so after all, next year's Gongmo election must be presided over by her.
As for the aftermath, Zhen Niang didn't think so far.
Flowers continued to inquire about the news.
After a while, the matter of Zhenniang's engagement with Luo Jiu was over, and everyone was happy.
"That's right. The seven grandmothers are now talking about helping their cousin donate a martial arts position......" At this time, Hua'er came running at a trot.
Hearing this, Zhenniang understood that this was what her cousin was afraid of this time.
Regarding the matter of donating martial arts to the children of the family, at the end of the year, Zhenniang said it when she heard Yao Qianshan talk to her seventh grandmother.
At the time of the founding of the country, the military positions of the Ming Dynasty were hereditary, but since Zhengde, because of the rank of many military positions. There was no real power, and the court bureaucracy was chaotic. So first inside, such as 100 households to 1,000 households, etc., can be bought directly with silver, but in Jiajing, the situation is becoming more and more chaotic, so the agricultural and industrial people, as long as they spend money, they can donate to the military position.
Of course, this is only an official rank, and does not have real power, but some businessmen, in fact, do not care about this real power, just have an official rank, it is much more convenient, not to mention, just dress up, businessmen have a low status, some silk and satin can not be worn, although usually, there are no taboos, but to participate in a gathering of important people or something, these things still have to be paid attention to, and with an official rank, you can wear it out in a dignified manner, and you will not be taboo or anything.
Therefore, in the area south of the Yangtze River, it has become common for the rich to buy martial arts.
Before, Zhen Niang was still thinking about who the Seventh Grandmother would help buy a martial arts position, but now it seems that the cousin is a good candidate.
At this time, Su Su on the side was also worried and asked, "What did you say?" ”
"Luo Gongzi said, there is no problem, here in Nanjing Health Center, he has a good relationship and can donate thousands of households." Speaking of this, Hua'er said with a surprised face: "Luo Gongzi also donated an official, it seems to be some kind of nonsense." ”
Zhen Niang listened and shook her head, she couldn't understand this thing, but she knew that the Ming Dynasty was noble and martial, and Luo Wenqian was in the north and donated it to the Qi family army to sit in the gold mine, thinking that this official position should not be too low, but in the end, as long as there is no real job, this thing is useless, not to mention anything else, just say that now in Langfang, those who sell ancestral property are in shambles, if you really want to inquire, maybe it is not easy to say what kind of nobles.
This is like those Eight Banners children in the late Qing Dynasty, maybe they are all knights, but as long as they don't have real power, it is difficult to even support a family, and they have to come out to find a job to do a reason.
In this way, Zhen Niang didn't care, but on the side of Zhao Susu, hearing that she could donate a thousand households, she was also happy in her heart, but she also knew that it would cost a lot of money at this time.
"It's better to be raw than cooked, since my cousin has donated his martial arts, I can't say that I have to stay here in Nanjing in the future, I think you two might as well open an inkstone shop in Nanjing, I want to come to the family in the past two years to hide a lot of goods, even if there are not many, you Wuyuan side of the relationship is familiar, even if you don't make a pit, it is not a problem to buy some goods to sell." Zhen Niang helped with the idea.
"Well, that's a good idea, and I know how inkstone is going on." Zhao Susu said happily.
In this way, he pulled Zhenniang to inquire about the details of the store in Nanjing.
Then the people on the Luo family's side left with a happy face. Just wait for the auspicious day after tomorrow, Nacai asked Najib and other procedures, and the family affairs of the Li and Luo families were really decided.
And the matchmaker in this is naturally the third grandfather of the Cheng family.
…………
Xufu.
Mrs. Xuan brought a few new hairpins and bracelets to show Mrs. Xu Er today, and it happened that the owner of the Sifang Money Village, Hu Shi, was also there, so they chatted.
"Mrs. Hu, I heard that your nephew is going to get engaged to Li Zhenniang of Li's Mozhuang, but is there such a thing?" Xuan Niangzi said, a while ago she also inquired about Li Zhenniang, she wanted to tell a brother in the family about it, but she didn't want to spread the news that the Xu family inquired about the Li family's girl, although she thought it was a rumor, but it was not appropriate to take any more action, so she waited and watched.
Unexpectedly, within two days, the news of the engagement of the Li and Luo families came out, and I heard that the family affairs of the Li and Luo families had been discussed since the end of last year, and they only stopped for a few days because of the death of the emperor in the middle.
It happened that Hu was here today, so I inquired clearly.
Hu Shi was still stunned, and when he said it, it took a while to understand that the Xuan Niangzi was talking about Luo Wenqian's kid, Luo Wenqian's kid never put his uncle and himself in his eyes, and the two families had no contact on weekdays, so this Xuan Niangzi mentioned her nephew fiercely, and she really wanted to think about it for a while.
And Mrs. Xu on the side has been annoyed by this matter for the past two days, she has released a rumor before, and she is still waiting for the Li family to take the initiative to come to the door, and then talk about the conditions, but she didn't think about it, but when she waited for the Luo and Li families to get married, she felt unhappy for a while.
At this time, I saw that the Hu family was a little stupid, so he also said with a little sarcasm: "Oh, this is a happy event, but I want to congratulate Mrs. Hu, some time ago, I don't know which one broke his mouth, but it was rumored that our Xu family was inquiring about Miss Li, this is really nonsense, Mrs. Hu can't help but go back and explain to the Luo family and the Li family, don't affect them, it's good to ......."
These words sounded good, but Mrs. Xu's tone was prickly, and Hu, who had dealt with Mrs. Xu a lot, immediately heard Xu's unhappiness.
Before, the Xu family inquired about Li Zhenniang's affairs, and she also heard about it, but she didn't care about it, after all, the two families were too far apart, so people couldn't think of going together, but now, listening to the tone of Second Mrs. Xu, I'm afraid that the previous rumors were not groundless.
"Where, I really don't know about this matter, my nephew is not close to us, and he never interacts with us on weekdays, if there is really something, where will he inform us." Hu explained, let's clear it up first.
Then they talked about some other topics, and Mrs. Hu was a little absent-minded, and after sitting for a while, she said that there was something to say goodbye at home.
Second Mrs. Xu didn't stay long, so she was sent out.
And Mrs. Hu went out, the weather was already hot, and thinking about Luo Wenqian's incomprehensible height, this time I was afraid that it would make Mrs. Xu resentful, and she couldn't help sweating on her back.
In fact, Second Mrs. Xu doesn't remember to hate Luo Wenqian's kid, she doesn't care, but she is afraid that the Xu family will be angry, although this nephew doesn't interact with them on weekdays, but he is also a nephew, and the relationship is also constant.
Thinking about it, she hurried home. As soon as I entered the house, I saw Wang Sifang sitting on the verandah, humming a little song on Erlang's legs, and the fan in his hand was fanning, not to mention how comfortable it was.
Looking at Wang Sifang like this, Hu's fire will not hit one place. He pulled the fan in Wang Sifang's hand and threw it aside.
"What? Do? Who's messing with you again, there's no reason for it. Wang Sifang stood up and glared at Hu with a bluffed face.
"Who else is not your precious nephew." Hu Shi said angrily.
"Didn't you tell you less about him in front of me? That wolf cub, just don't remember it. Hearing Hu Shi talk about Luo Wenqian, Wang Sifang was also on fire, and said with a calm face.
"Heh, do you think I'm going to ignore him? But whether we ignore him or not, he's always your nephew, and the things he does that don't know the height of the sky will always implicate us, right? Hu shouted.
"What did that kid do?" Hearing Hu's words, Wang Sifang twisted his eyebrows and said.
"What was done? The Xu family fell in love with Li Mo's Li Zhenniang, and just released the news, that kid is good, and he immediately got engaged to your Li family, this is not a living slap in the face of the Xu family, today I went to Mrs. Xu's place, so I choked her for no reason, you say I am not wronged. Hu called Qu.
Then he said: "It's okay if I'm choked, but if the Xu family hates us, then the business of the money bank will be restricted in the future......
Listening to Hu's words, Wang Si frowned, but after a while, he said, "I'll go find that kid." ”
After saying that, he turned around and went out of the house, and called his subordinates to prepare the carriage. Then he went straight to the Yi Housheng on the other side of Guan Street.
