457 Marriage (II)
As soon as Ni Yuanlu heard Wang's words, he knew that his mother-in-law had already secretly liked Mr. Zhang, and it showed that the woman intended to play a little trick on the man first, and the purpose of the two was the same, that is, they both wanted to move together, Ni Yuanlu secretly laughed in his heart that his mother-in-law spoke too vaguely and did not say it directly, and Wang's mind was simple and did not think deeply, so it was delayed for a year in vain. Confucius is so well educated, why don't you see how many people say that Confucius is her dream lover?
But whenever a woman says that a man looks or temperamentally like her husband, or a man says that a woman has a gentle temper like his wife, it means that there is such an idea in his or her consciousness that the two can develop further friendship when conditions permit, Wang Shi did not understand his mother's words in time and was dull, but now that he remembers the words of a year ago, he also reacted, but he didn't know how to tell Ni Yuanlu, after all, this kind of thing is rare and difficult to accept for a while.
Ni Yuanlu told Wang about his thoughts at that time, he said: "I just talked to Mr. Zhang, he means that he also has ideas about your mother, and in order to create opportunities, he also played a little clever, I mean to marry them in three days, look at the appearance of the two of you will not object, the more close relatives are not there, the rest are some distant relatives, it is estimated that those people have no need to object, at most invite those people to have a meal at that time,"
Wang Shi was slow to react, but once he reacted, his views on specific issues were much more sober than Ni Yuanlu's, she said: "Master, you may have thought too well, you have to find a way to go to the court to inquire about it, to see if this kind of thing will affect you, our family is all up to you now, nothing will happen to you,"
Ni Yuanlu said: "What's the matter, at most I will be ridiculed by those people, I am naturally thick-skinned and not afraid of people talking,"
Although Ni Yuanlu said this in his mouth, he still had some drums in his heart, thinking of Wang Zaijin, who had always been unable to get along with him, and other colleagues who were jealous because he was favored by the emperor, Ni Yuanlu was very unsure in his heart, and the others didn't say anything but that Wang Zaijin, who had calculated him in the affairs of men and women back then, and now will he fight back in this matter, he took this second wife home and was secretly ridiculed by Wang Zaijin a few times, and offended him a while ago because of armaments. I believe that Wang Zaijin's belly will not let go of this opportunity,
Ni Yuanlu thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, I will ask someone to seal the back door, they have nothing to do with us, and some people say that it has nothing to do with anything,"
Wang shook his head and said: "Even if those imperial histories in the court don't say anything, three days is too short, and it will take seven or eight days to invite the matchmaker to finally invite guests, even if those distant relatives are not far away, three days back and forth is not enough, and I also think it's not good to seal the back door, you think, as soon as the matchmaker comes to the door, the two families are single yards next to the yard, what is the matter?"
Ni Yuanlu scratched his head and asked, "What do you think, or how do you discuss?"
Wang said: "How can we discuss, how can we see children discussing the parent's affairs together, I can still think of a way that she can't hold back a word for a long time when she is young, and can discuss something,"
Ni Yuanlu thought for a while and said: "Three days is indeed too hasty, so let's go our separate ways, when you go to Princess Ningde's Mansion tomorrow, ask someone to inquire about this matter, and I will go to the Ministry of Rites in two days to find out if there are any taboos, and I also want to tell her more about the current specific situation, there are many people who can't hide and ignore it,"
Ni Yuanlu and Wang's mouth she refers to Ni Yuanlu's second wife Zhang, both of them thought that Zhang's was hiding on the side, in fact, Zhang's had already had an idea, when he encountered a major event, he dared to ask a man for help naked, and he would never be an unassertive person, when Ni Yuanlu explained the situation to Zhang's in the evening, Zhang's said his thoughts, Zhang's meaning was that his father and Wang's mother were both single and had been single for more than three years, even if they wanted to keep filial piety for whom, they should keep enough, The emperor didn't ask the Ministry of Rites to set up any archway for the two, of course, the two are not old and not qualified.
In order to avoid being ridiculed, it is best to find a house outside first, let Zhang's father move out first, and then call someone to come to Ni's house to propose, so that at most, even if Ni Yuanlu marries his mother-in-law, no one can say anything wrong, and then send more silver to settle down, anyway, now Ni Yuanlu is not short of 100 taels of silver, Ni Yuanlu thought deeply about Zhang's idea, and told Wang early the next morning, By the way, I went to tell Mr. Zhang about his considerations, and Mr. Zhang naturally had nothing to say when he saw such an arrangement, only said that a few years had passed and he didn't care about the past few days.
In the evening, Wang's return brought back a good news, saying that there is a women's embroidery workshop not far from the imperial city, only recruiting women not men, that is Princess Ningde special, the purpose is to follow the meaning of the Apocalypse to let women work to earn money, when Princess Ningde and King Xin thought that women could not be inferior to men, so Apocalypse asked Princess Ningde to be the vice president of the Women's Federation, and asked her to increase the status of women as the main purpose, Princess Ningde found someone to discuss for a while, and finally understood that to increase a person's status, he had to be rich, It is impossible for a person without money to have a status, who has ever seen a family that respectfully invites the beggars on the road to sit on the throne at home, there is an old saying called "the rich are true, the words without money are not true, do not believe but look at the wine in the feast, and the rich are respected first in the cup,"
Princess Ningde thought that women's physical strength is not as good as men's impossible to farm and mine, and many people can't walk like the wind to do business if they have wrapped their feet, even if the apocalypse orders that women can't be forced to bind their feet, but those who have been wrapped in feet before can't stretch out, Princess Ningde thinks about it, there is only one thing that is especially suitable for women to do, that is, weaving and embroidery, women are smaller than men and are suitable for doing things with their fingers, it is said that many men are upset when they use their fingers to do things, Therefore, Princess Ningde asked people to set up a number of rust weaving workshops in Beijing under the name of the big iron company, so that women who are willing to earn money can do things to make money, no matter how much money they have at home.
If you just work to make money, you may not be able to attract many people, the key is that Princess Ningde also let people teach people to read in the rust weaving workshop, that is, you come here today to calculate the wages by the piece, will not study but no money, you can do fast can not do more to give others a chance, in general, a day only needs to do half a day's work, the rest of the time is naturally to chat and know some words by the way, which is welcomed by many people, it is said that willing to let their family members go to the rust weaving workshop to earn money by the way literacy has greatly increased, After all, after the implementation of the economic inspection system, many officials' families are not very wealthy, and it is not much to earn one to stay at home.
Wang's meaning is that since her mother wants to move to the edge of the rust weaving workshop, she will earn some money in the future and will not always rely on Mr. Zhang to feed, it is said that it is already rumored that the imperial court is going to run an official school, and a private school Mr. may not be very good in the future, Ni Yuanlu heard that Wang's said it was right, and immediately after obtaining the consent of Wang's mother, she immediately asked someone to go to the nearest rust weaving workshop to buy a small courtyard, and after a little cleaning, Mr. Zhang moved all the people and furniture the next day.
Mr. Zhang in order to live a wife as soon as possible also has a vigorous style, he moved the day after the day he invited a matchmaker to Ni Mansion to propose, after a period of fake prevarication and inquiry, Wang took the matchmaker to bring the dowry, because of Mr. Zhang's hints and benefits, the matchmaker also encouraged like a spring tongue to say that the next day is a good day, so Mr. Zhang on the third day after moving with a sedan chair to pick up Wang's mother, Ni Yuanlu did not go to congratulate in person, Just sent two hundred taels of silver and said hello to the local officials by the way, Mr. Zhang invited all the neighbors and relatives to have a meal, and the matter was over.
Mr. Zhang's matter is not finished Ni Yuanlu's matter is not over, he doesn't know if someone will make a fuss in it, thinking that two days later is the fifteenth day of the first month of the school to open, he personally took people to the Ministry of Rites to contact some matters, after all, education matters belong to the Ministry of Rites should be recorded, in the Ministry of Rites and Ceremonies Department Ni Yuanlu and a Lang Zhong After talking about business, by the way, asked the question of etiquette, Ni Yuanlu mainly asked his father-in-law whether it was in line with etiquette to marry his mother-in-law, Ni Yuanlu made Lang Zhong dizzy, The heart said that your father-in-law and mother-in-law must be your wife's father-in-law, and the daughters are married, and the parents have to do the marriage, is it too late?
Lang Zhong didn't ask too directly for fear of hurting Ni Yuanlu's face, and Ni Yuanlu didn't want to explain in depth the specific reason why Mr. Zhang married his daughter-in-law, and when the two were having a conversation that couldn't be connected, they heard someone behind them say loudly: "Isn't this Lord Ni Jianjun, how can you have time to come to the Ministry of Rites today?"
Ni Yuanlu looked back, only to see a slightly thin and slightly old but not too old official standing at the door and asking himself, there were many attendants standing beside him, all of them looked at Ni Yuanlu a little strangely, Ni Yuanlu of course recognized that the question was Wen Tiren, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he hurriedly got up and bowed to Wen Tiren, and then said: "Hello Lord Wen, the emperor asked the lower officials to run a school in Shanglin Yuan, the lower officials want this school to belong to the management of the Ministry of Rites, and I don't want to alarm Lord Wen today, please forgive me,"
Wen Tiren turned around and let the entourage adjutant leave, and then came in and said: "Lord Ni is too polite, I have something to do with running a school, since I meet Lord Ni, I will ask Lord Ni for advice, Lord Ni will not refuse me,"
