Chapter 265: I Can't Afford to Marry

Han Qi nodded,

"Even if you want the baby to make a plan early, you can make small clothes, small quilts and other ...... earlier"

Because pregnant people can't move needles and scissors, and it is necessary to do some early to avoid temporary shortages, Han Jun felt very reasonable when he heard it, and said generously,

"The third sister is right, I made preparations earlier, so as not to panic when the time comes......"

said that when the interest came, he went to rummage through the cabinets to find materials,

"You see if this can be done, this is a good Songjiang cloth, very soft and absorbent......"

Han Qi touched it and said,

"It's good, it's just too thick, and the baby's close-fitting clothes still need to be lighter......"

Han Jun nodded,

"It's ...... too"

Then I went and looked for it.

The youngest of the Han sisters is Han Man, Han Qi was eight years old when she was born, Han Jun and Han Xiu are bigger, the three sisters are watching their aunt get pregnant and give birth, watching the little meat ball raised little by little, and there is no intrigue between wives and concubines in the back house of the Han family, after Miao's confinement, the three sisters often take care of Han Man in person, Wang and Miao are also happy to see it, so how to take care of the baby, the three of them are very familiar, talking about how to raise the baby, it is not as shy and helpless as the daughter next to it.

The two sisters spread the contents of the box with great interest, but nothing satisfied Han Jun, so they took Han Qi's hand and said,

"Why don't you go on vacation next time and accompany me to the streets?"

Han Qi nodded,

"Good! There's a shop in the inner city with the best fabrics, so let's look for ......."

The two sisters were talking enthusiastically, and Xia Wenbin came in with a curtain outside, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw his wife and sister here.

"The third sister is here!"

Han Qi hurriedly saluted, Xia Wenbin smiled,

"It's all your own family, you don't have to be polite!"

But he said to Han Jun with a smile,

"Shicai's father sent someone over to spread the word, saying that we should go back tonight!"

Han Jun frowned when he heard this,

"The third sister is going to have dinner here today......"

Han Qi said busily,

"Even if Uncle Xia summons him, he has something to discuss, and even if the second sister goes back, I will go back to Wicker Lane!"

Xia Wenbin said,

"The third sister will come with us, just as the little sister complained to me in front of me, you haven't talked to her for a long time, and you are thinking about it!"

Han Qi said with a smile,

"It's been a while with tight homework, and there is a literary meeting, but I don't have time to see my little sister, that's it...... I'll go with my second sister and second brother-in-law! ”

When it came to the literary meeting, Xia Wenbin's eyes lit up,

"I don't know what the situation was like in the previous literary meeting, it is said that Liu He, a talented man from Shaoxing, and Wang Ting, a talented man from Jiangxi, also went, and the two of them have good works?"

When Han Jun heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes, and waved his hand again and again,

"Husband, you can stop, even if you want to go back, go out early, don't delay!"

If he is allowed to start, I am afraid that he will still be nested in this house until dark!

Xia Wenbin was interrupted by his wife, and then remembered that there was still something to do, and said with a smile,

"Then let's clean it up!"

At that moment, he turned around and went out, Han Jun got up to look for clothes, and called Luo Ying to come in and comb his hair.

When the two sisters sat on the carriage, Han Jun frowned and asked,

"I don't know why my in-laws called us back?"

Han Qi smiled slightly,

"Even if you don't know, you don't have to guess, you will know when you go back!"

Han Jun nodded, but his brows were still furrowed, and he thought for a long time before he said to his sister-in-law,

"Don't let us go back and give the silver!"

Han Qiqi said,

"How could the second sister say this?"

Han Jun sighed and said,

"I naturally won't hide it from you, the family has spent a lot of money to repair the mansion in front of me, and the younger sister is married, and the in-laws are also saving money to add a dowry, you also know that we bought the house, it is all the silver from the eldest sister and parents, and the head Wei Wu also gave your brother-in-law fifty taels of silver, which he took all to fill the holes in their house......"

Han Qi raised her eyebrows when she heard this,

"Wei Wu gave back the silver?"

Han Jun naturally didn't know that this generous friend was the future third brother-in-law, and sighed when he heard this,

"This person is a very righteous good friend, knowing that your brother-in-law is short of money, he gave fifty taels of silver in private, but the silver was not hot, so he gave it to the family ......."

Speaking of sorrow,

"I heard that my in-laws borrowed money outside, and this time we weren't asked to go back to pay off the debt, right?"

Han Qi was speechless for a while.

It is said that since the founding of Daqing, the queen has more small families, so that the two families of the marriage are a heaven and an underground, when Taizu set the rules, he also thought that the woman's family background must not be compared with the royal family, so the things that the woman should marry are purchased by the palace, and do not want the woman to pay a penny, but there are rewards.

Therefore, as long as the future queen mother remembers to bring herself on the wedding day, she will be able to enter the palace from the noon gate on the royal road with full honor guards!

If you want to say that if the country has silver, this is naturally needless to say, but now the country has no silver, although Emperor Hongzhi reigned for 16 years, has been pursuing frugality, but can not stand the disasters all over the year, and still fight with foreign people, and also have to raise a large group of relatives of the emperor, so the treasury is to eat grain, and the household department is everywhere to pick and move only 200,000 taels of silver for the emperor's wedding.

Zhu Houzhao thought about the front before saying that he wanted to imitate the first emperor's frugality, and even his own enthronement ceremony was very simple, and he couldn't be extravagant when it came to the wedding, so he also let the Ministry of Rites do it cheaply, so the household allocated less money to Uncle Xia, Uncle Xia married a daughter, although he couldn't go hand in hand with the heavenly family, but he always had to make a door on the faΓ§ade to come out, so he built an Ankang Bo Mansion very magnificently, and the silver given by the household plus the reward given by the first emperor when he gave the marriage was definitely not enough, and Uncle Xia had no choice but to borrow silver!

Now this Ankang Bo Mansion looks gorgeous and noble on the outside, but in fact, it is too poor to open the pot inside, this has an emperor's son-in-law, marrying a daughter and marrying the whole family to raise debts, it is also a miracle!

Han Qi listened to Han Jun's complaints all the way, and the carriage swayed all the way to arrive, and now the Xia family has moved into the newly built Ankangbo Mansion, and the second young master's carriage came back, and the door opened the corner door, so that the carriage entered the second gate before stopping, and the Han sisters came down and followed Xia Wenbin to see Ankangbo and his wife.

Xia Hong and his wife were very happy to see their second son and his wife come back, and when they saw Han Qi coming over, Jiang said to Han Qi with a smile,

"The third lady is here, let's go and see the little sister, she is bored for a while!"

Han Qi knew that they had something to talk about, so she smiled and saluted and retreated, with Tao Li behind her, and followed behind the girl who led the way to find Xia Xiaomei.

Xia Xiaomei has learned the rules very well now, sitting there with her waist straight and her back straight, and her eyes are leisurely, she already has a bit of the posture of the future mother of the country!

When Han Qi came in, Xia Xiaomei's eyes lit up, her feet wearing embroidered shoes moved, and she just wanted to jump up to pull Han Qi's hand, but she suddenly remembered the female officer standing on the side, and coughed lightly twice, and the corners of her mouth pulled to reveal a smile that was suitable everywhere,

"That...... Ahem...... Miss Han San, please take a seat! ”

Han Qi smiled and sat down according to her words, also learning from her straight waist and chest with her hands hanging down on her knees, sitting very dignified,

"How is Miss Xia doing?"

Xia Xiaomei still said with a smirk,

"It's all right, what about the third lady?"

Han Qi also said pretendly,

"Recently, I have been concentrating on my studies, and I have been busy with the imperial examination......"

"Imperial Examination ......"

Xia Xiaomei stared at her with big eyes,

"Imperial Examinations and ...... What's your relationship? ”

Han Qi responded,

"Recently, the academy has held a literary meeting every ten days, and students from all walks of life have come to learn from each other, and the gentleman has always ordered us to make a fuss, saying that the female talents in our Chengsheng Academy will also compete with masters from all walks of life......"

Xia Xiaomei loves to be lively the most, how can she not feel itchy when she hears this news, she has the heart to pull Han Qi to ask, and she is afraid of the female officer on the side, she thought about it and coughed lightly,

"Go down first!"

Everyone in the hall saluted one after another, and the fish went out!

Xia Xiaomei saw that everyone was gone, so she jumped up and pulled Han Qi inside, and said indignantly,

"Okay, you Han Laosan, you don't care about me now! Let me suffer here alone, and I will be happy with the young talents of all over the world! ”

What are these words?

Han Qi secretly stroked her forehead when she heard this, and said to her,

"Fortunately, no one hears this, if outsiders know, the queen mother...... You're going to pay for my innocence! ”

When the two entered the room, Xia Xiaomei closed the door, but she threw herself on the couch near the window first, and rolled on it a few times.

"Ouch! Mom...... But I'm exhausted! ”

This one was lying on the bed on all fours, and waved lazily at Han Qi,

"Don't worry, I'm the queen's mother...... Wait for me...... No, when the palace makes a decree, I will give you a marriage to next year's new champion! ”

Han Qi smiled and looked at her lying on her back with a tired and paralyzed appearance, and said with a smile,

"Thank you to the queen for the marriage, but ...... The champion will be exempted! ”

What is said in the play, the champion Lang fights horses and parades the streets, and the love at first sight with the young lady is absolutely unbelievable!

Isn't it common for people to say that the 10-year cold window is not a bad one?

In fact, the reader is not only ten years old, it can be regarded as four or five years old, if you want to learn something, at least there is a seven or eight years, this is already a talented person, to be twelve or thirteen years old to take the college examination, a test in the first and second class to go to the township examination, the township examination for three years, is lucky, the first year of the college examination, the second year of the township examination, there are fourteen or fifteen years old, and then there is a three-year examination, and then the palace examination, even if it is all the way up, the examination became the champion, this age will be at the age of seventeen or eighteen, There is no need to think about it, people are showing talents or lifting people, and the threshold of the family has already been stepped on by the matchmaker!
