Chapter 248
Seeing that Cai no longer insisted on keeping herself in Zhenghetang, Lin Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Living in the courtyard of the elders, the feeling of being pampered is full of points, and the degree of freedom far meets Lin Wan's requirements, for Lin Wan, who advocates freedom, she is naturally more looking forward to moving to Qingyunju.
Thinking that Lin Hongfei's good thing was approaching, Lin Wan had to ask the Cai family for some advice on the cost of engagement, marriage, and the preparation of the dowry.
"Don't think so much about your little child's family, just leave it to your aunt." Cai shook his head with a smile and said.
Although she knew that this was the result, Lin Wan still looked at Cai Shi with a surprised expression: "Ah, wouldn't this be too troublesome for the eldest aunt?" ”
Cai's grabbed Lin Wan's little hand and patted it: "Each room is not separated, your eldest aunt is in charge of the internal affairs of the entire Hou Mansion, and it is your eldest aunt's duty to marry a wife and a girl in the mansion, so what's the trouble?"
Of course, if your mother is in the capital, she always has to let her handle her son's family affairs by herself, and your eldest aunt only needs to assist from the side.
It's just that your mother is thousands of miles away, and Feige'er's family affairs are naturally handled by your eldest aunt.
Don't worry, your aunt has married a daughter-in-law once, and she understands the process, and there are conventions for sons in the house to marry wives and girls, and it is customary. ”
Lin Wan frowned slightly when she heard this.
Lin Hongfei is the eldest son of the second room, and the dowry is arranged according to the usual practice, Lin Wan always feels a little sorry for Lin Hongfei, and even thinks about whether it will make the An family feel that An Huijuan has neglected her?
Since Lin Wan had such an idea, she naturally wanted to discuss a thing or two with Cai.
"You kid, you love to be cranky! Although there are regulations on the dowry for buddies to marry in public middle school, don't you forget, you still have a father, even if he doesn't go to the Tao, can the eldest son marry without care? If he really doesn't care, isn't there still a grandfather and grandmother watching! Cai glanced at Lin Wan, but there was a deep pity in his eyes, both for Lin Wan and for Lin Hongfei.
There are such unreliable parents, and it is really hard for these two children!
"Grandmother, Wanwan wants to take the time to see the property under the name of the second room, and she just takes the opportunity to visit the capital, Wanwan hasn't seen the capital well when she comes to the capital!" Since the Cai family didn't want her to meddle in Lin Hongfei's family affairs, Lin Wan stopped entanglement, simply let go, and made a request to the Cai family when she remembered the property under the name of the second room.
Lin Wan was the temporary head of the family in the second room, and this request was reasonable and legitimate, so Lin Wan got the opportunity to go shopping.
Lin Wan attached great importance to this outing, not only planned the travel route, but also brought Mama Bai with her.
"How did Wanwan think of bringing Mama Bai with you?" When Cai learned that Lin Wan was going out with Dongxue and Mama Bai, he was very surprised, and specially called Chuncao who was left in the house by Lin Wan for questioning.
The girls in the house occasionally go out shopping and shop, and the house will arrange guards to accompany them to protect them, and the girls generally bring young maids of the same age, but Lin Wan brings Bai Mama, no wonder Cai's is surprised.
Chuncao smiled and explained for Lin Wan: "The third girl said that in addition to going to Xiangmanlou and the big car shop to take a look today, she also has to go to Moxiang Street to see the repair of the Ye family's house.
The third girl said that Mama Bai knew more about house tidying and repairing than the slave maid, so she asked Mama Bai to go with her. ”
Cai nodded thoughtfully, waved Chuncao out to do her own work, and muttered to Mama Qiao: "I always feel that Sister Wan has something to hide from me!" How much can Mama Bai know about the renovation of this house? ”
The tone of the words was obviously a little sad.
Mama Qiao persuaded: "Don't think crooked, old lady, even if the third girl has something to hide, it won't be a bad thing."
According to the old slave, although the three girls are not very old, their words and deeds are extremely measured. ”
Cai sighed faintly, but he didn't say the words in his heart.
Even if she said that Mama Qiao would not pass the words to Lin Wan, but in the end, there are ears on the wall, who knows if there are ear tips outside, and when she hears a few words, she will pass them to Lin Wan's ears, won't it hurt the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren who have finally become closer?
"I don't know how the discussion is going on in Anfu? You have to keep an eye on me, don't let the news of Feige'er and Huijuan's child getting married, there must be nothing wrong in this vein! Cai simply stopped thinking about Lin Wan's affairs, and turned his attention to Lin Hongfei's family affairs.
Before Mama Qiao could answer, the voice of Mrs. Fang, the scholar of Xuanxue, came from outside, and the eyes of the master and servant suddenly lit up.
Mama Qiao hurriedly greeted her and invited the Fang family into the living room.
The Fang family did not bring the news that Anfu agreed, which somewhat disappointed the Cai family.
Fortunately, it was not the news of Anfu's refusal, but the father and son of Anxian Wine wanted to make an appointment to talk to Lin Hongfei in person.
In the process of looking at each other, such requests are not uncommon in the capital, but most of the people who have such requests are women in the inner courtyard of the back house.
It's just that there are no older female elders in the inner courtyard of Anfu, only a bride who is the same age as An Huijuan and has only been through the door for a few months.
"Lord An is really a child who hurts." Cai sighed.
Fang nodded and added: "The An family has been passed down for several generations, although Sister Juan's father also has two concubines, only my short-lived niece gave birth to Sister Juan's brother and sister.
It has only been a few generations for the An family to have such a girl as Sister Juan, who is really afraid of melting away in her mouth, and afraid of breaking it in her hand.
Sister Juan was born, and Lord An could be in pain, so he had to sew a pocket and take Sister Juan to the Guozijian every day.
Fortunately, Sister Juan is a good one, and she did not become rude and willful because of the favor of the elders in the family.
When her mother was here, she only thought that Sister Juan was a cute little girl, and she really didn't see how capable she was when she was talented.
Unexpectedly, after her mother left, Sister Juan was able to take care of the sacrificial wine house in an orderly manner at a young age.
Over the years, the sacrificial wine house is really thanks to Sister Juan's support, otherwise I don't know what the chaos will be! ”
Cai's followed Fang's and sighed: "Sister Juan has also suffered all these years. ”
Cai didn't know when Lin Hongfei would be free, so naturally he couldn't make an appointment for him to meet with An Xijiu, so he could only wait for Lin Hongfei to come back from the government and then send a letter to An Fu.
When Lin Xiuwu heard that An Saijiu wanted Lin Hongfei to have an interview, his face was a little unhappy: "An Sheng's old boy is really amazing!"
refused to accept Brother Fei as an apprentice back then, but now he still has to embarrass Brother Fei in family affairs.
No, I have to go to meet the old boy of Ansheng with Feige'er, I have to talk about the old boy well! ”
As Lin Xiuwu said, he took Lin Hongfei back then to let An Sai Jiu accept Lin Hongfei as an apprentice, but was rejected by Anci Sai Liquor.
However, Anxian Wine did not refuse to guide Lin Hongfei, so although Lin Hongfei and Anxian Wine did not have the name of master and apprentice, they had the reality of master and apprentice.
Listening to Lin Xiuwu's words, Cai's was both funny and angry, and he glanced at Lin Xiuwu and said: "Fortunately, Lord An didn't accept Feige'er as an apprentice back then, otherwise how could Feige'er marry Sister Juan, and the difference in seniority!" ”
Lin Xiuwu was stunned for a moment when he heard Cai's words, and then laughed: "In this way, Ansheng's old boy liked our Fei Geer at that time!" Okay, well, whose fate should be whose is it! ”
Cai couldn't help but glance at Lin Xiuwu.
Although An Saijiu was unwilling to accept Lin Hongfei as an apprentice back then, it may be what Lin Xiuwu said, but it is just a possibility, after all, Lin Hongfei and An Huijuan were just seven or eight years old at that time, is it necessary to be like this?
