The 1169th Round: The first day of the ninth month
"Didn't you say me? Who doesn't know what I'm like?
If you say anything in front of me and don't quit your family, you will almost point at my nose and scold! Zhao Zhongju was not a person to be messed with, so he greeted him as he spoke.
In the sixth year of her marriage, her husband accidentally fell into the water and died, leaving her, two sons and a daughter, and two elderly people in the family.
The pillars of the family have fallen, and for this family, it is as if the sky has fallen.
She couldn't bear it for a while, and she washed her face with tears every day, and then because of excessive worry, she fell completely ill, and she could only linger on the sickbed all day long.
It has been more than a year since she fell, the doctor has asked countless doctors, and the money has almost been dispersed, and her body has improved.
But this made the elderly and children at home suffer, and the days became more and more unbearable, and there were neighbors around who couldn't stand it, so they came to the door to talk about it.
told her a widower, four years younger than her, honest and diligent, even if his parents went early, no one cared about him, so he missed the age of kissing, and he never married a wife, and he has always lived alone.
The neighbors persuaded Zhao Zhongju that the old and the young in this family, even if she was well, what could she do to make money? No man will not be a problem after all, and the days to come will still be long, so it is better to recruit the widower into the door and help take care of this family.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Dayuan Dynasty, and there is also a name called "Zhaofu Lingzi", as the name suggests, it is to recruit a husband to come to the door and help raise the child together.
Dayuan women who lose their fathers or divorce can marry freely, even the women who have been divorced are the same, but if they are divorced and returned to their parents' home, they will naturally commit seven crimes, and it will not be easy for anyone to ask for it.
Zhao Zhongju has been married to her husband for a few years, she has always been affectionate, and she has never blushed, and he went suddenly, so she naturally couldn't agree to lead the man next to her into the door.
But when the in-laws heard about this, they were moved, and the two old men cried and begged, so they almost knelt down.
Zhao Zhongju didn't know where they were also distressed by her.
She resolutely refused to allow it, and lay down for a few more days, just as her youngest son was sick, and she had no money to ask for a doctor, and her mother-in-law was so anxious that she almost hanged herself.
was really desperate, her mother-in-law really knelt down, and Zhao Zhongju knew that there was no other way than this.
She gritted her teeth and responded to this matter, but she is not a brainless person, she said the words first, this person is not a trivial matter to lead the door, it is a lifelong plan, and the character is naturally to pass.
Otherwise, even if she died, it would be impossible for her to let him in.
Her in-laws also recognized her words.
The neighborhood was introduced, and the two met a few times, and they knew each other, and it took another year before they became relatives.
In the meantime, she tried many times before she was completely relieved.
Now it seems that she has an excellent eye for people, and the later husband is loyal and upright, and he is even more loyal, and all the big and small things in the family are discussed with her, and the life is also harmonious.
It's a pity that she doesn't know if she was sick and injured at the beginning, she has never been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter for him for so many years, but he has never had any complaints about this matter, and treats the children of the family as if they were his own.
Qin Huanxi said that "withdrawing from relatives is misconduct", Zhao Zhongju naturally did not follow, and withdrawing from relatives was considered misconduct, so wouldn't she even be able to raise her head in front of people?
"Who said you?" Qin Huanxi was not to be outdone: "You catch up with the ...... yourself"
"Alright, alright." Qin Huanli was big for a while: "It's about the wind, where did you all go." ”
"If you have something to say, it's good to say." Zhao Zhongzhu grabbed his little sister.
"Third brother-in-law, it's not me talking about you, we can't do anything about what the official family has decided.
Besides, I think the kid is very good, and there is nothing to discuss in this matter, don't believe the instigation of the traitor, and handle the family affairs well. Zhao Zhongju said, deliberately glancing at Qin Huanxi.
Qin Huanxi snorted coldly: "It's not your turn to take care of our family's affairs. ”
"It's not my turn, but you don't seem to be able to." Zhao Zhongju stared at her: "Open your mouth and shut up your family, don't forget, your surname is Zhu now." ”
"You!" Qin Huanxi was about to slap the table.
"That's it!" Qin Huanli raised his voice: "Don't make any noise." ”
These two people have always been wrong, but fortunately, they don't meet often, and it's really a coincidence today.
"Anyway, I don't agree with this family matter." Qin Huanxi didn't want to stay here anymore, so he got up and went out as he spoke.
"What's the use of you not agreeing." Zhao Zhongju spat at her distant back.
"Little sister." Zhao Zhongzhu hurriedly stopped her.
"Come on, I don't have the same knowledge as her." Zhao Zhongju looked at Qin Huanli: "Third brother-in-law, how is it?" My sister has prepared something to give it to the day, but will it be delivered or not? ”
Qin Huanli sighed and waved his hand a little annoyed: "Send it, send it." ”
There weren't many days left until September, and after the days were sent, the wedding was in full swing.
Zhao Zhongzhu was nodded by his little sister, and he also made up his mind in his heart, no matter what Qin Huanli did, she would just treat the child well.
She had never done any of these things, so she brought her old father and stepmother into the house.
Her stepmother has been through things and knows a lot, so if there is anything she doesn't understand, she can ask on the spot.
Yes, the things that should be prepared for marriage are all prepared, and they are all based on Qin Nanfeng's meaning, and the best one is chosen.
She has always had tight hands, which made the silver a little distressed, but when she remembered her little sister's advice, she gritted her teeth.
……
In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of September.
Happy events have to be entertained for two days, and today, the Qin family will have a banquet at noon, and the family will have a banquet at night.
On the first day of tomorrow, it will be reversed, the Qin family will come to welcome relatives, come to the family to have lunch, and when the bride is returned, the Qin family will have a feast and feast relatives and friends.
Early in the morning, Yun Jiao went to Qingyu Courtyard, and the central sister-in-law took Li'er to Qin's house, and now she is going to Qin's house to shop.
The so-called shop house is to decorate the new house, hang the tent curtain, lay the house utensils, jewelry, and prepare the things that the newlyweds will use.
And then even the pro-pressure shop, called the warm house.
The greenhouse is naturally better for the little brother, but Yun Ting has to be a child, and Yun Jiao doesn't think about it, but only wants to call it a pity.
Naturally, these are all agreed upon before, and Yun Jiao's visit to invite you today is just a formality.
Xia Jingshu thought about it, saying that Li'er was a girl, and it was unlucky to go to the shop, and she was afraid that the Qin family would not be happy.
She wanted to ask Yun Yan's son Yushu to go with her.
Yun Jiao shouldn't have been, whether Li'er is a man or a woman is her niece, she doesn't care about this.
But Xia Jingshu said that she couldn't afford it, and she was afraid that she would make a mistake in her busyness, so she took Yushu and Yun Yan with her, so that she would be taken care of.
Yun Jiao saw that what she said was reasonable, so she nodded and agreed.
When she returned to the courtyard, she instructed Pu Jia: "You tell everyone to stop what they are doing and listen to me say a few words." ”
She stood under the porch.
Pu Jia answered, and hurriedly did as she was told.
After a few moments, the maidservants all gathered, and the rows of people looked at her from the porch.
Pu Jia and Hibiscus, as well as Mama Li, who were close to her, all stood behind her.
Yun Jiao smiled: "Everyone knows that I will be out of this door tomorrow, and from now on, I will have to stay in another family." ”
"The slaves and maids have not congratulated the girl." Rainbow likes to laugh the most, she opened her mouth first, raised her hand to greet everyone: "Come on, come on, let's congratulate the girl." ”
Everyone laughed and saluted in unison: "Congratulations to the girl, congratulations to the girl." ”
"You have a heart." Yun Jiao nodded with a smile: "This time, you follow me, and the time is not short."
When you came, I was in trouble, and I asked you to come for fear of being calculated, and they did not dare to act rashly because they thought that there would be more people.
And when you came, I said that after five years I would give you money and let you go.
Now, the date is earlier. ”
As soon as she said this, everyone immediately looked at each other, and they couldn't laugh anymore.
"Girl, are you going to drive the slaves away?" Rainbow couldn't help but ask.
"Not to chase you." Yun Jiao smiled: "I promised you at the beginning, but now it's just fulfilling my promise in advance."
According to the original agreement, if you are willing to stay, you will stay and follow me, and the monthly silver will continue as before, or it will rise every year.
If there is someone at home who is concerned and wants to leave, then come to Pujia and receive the silver, and tomorrow the sedan chair will carry me out of the door, and you can leave by yourself. ”
There was silence again.
"Slave maid...... The slave maid is the youngest child in the family, and my father and mother are now old, and my mother has been haunting the sickbed since the beginning of autumn......" Hanlu took a step forward and said with red eyes.
"Then you can go back and take care of your mother." Yun Jiao raised her hand towards Pu Jia.
Even though he took the silver, he handed it over.
Hanlu held the silver and cried: "Slave maid...... The slave is reluctant to ...... girl."
"What's this?" Yun Jiao smiled: "Build a pergola for thousands of miles, there is no banquet that will not be dispersed, you have a place to go back, I can rest assured."
What about the others? ”
"The slave maid has been abducted since she was a child, and she has no family, to be honest, she has followed a few masters in front of her, but none of them can treat the slaves and maids better than the girl, and the slave and maid will follow the girl in the future." Rainbow stood on the other side.
Yun Jiao nodded with a smile: "What about you?" ”
Everyone stepped forward, some left, some stayed.
In the end, four of the eight remained.
The people who leave are nothing more than the worries of the family, either their parents and brothers, or they have made a family affair in the past and can't let go of their marriage.
It's the same if they stay, they don't have parents and family, and they don't have a place to go when they go out to a daughter's house, so it's better to stay and follow the girl to be safe.
"Okay." Yun Jiao looked at the four people in front of her: "Then the four of you, you will follow me in the future, are you willing to sign the death deed?" ”
She's going to plan for the future.
Xiao Wu naturally didn't have to say anything to her, but what was the situation in the Qin family, she couldn't figure it out if she didn't enter the door, and she didn't know what the time would be, so she had to add some reliable talents under her hands.
Although there are Pujia, Hibiscus and Mama Li, there are only two people in Pujia and Hibiscus, and if they are really busy, they will be helpless.
And Mama Li is getting older and can't worry about it, she still wants her to retire in a stable manner.
It's probably because she is kind and powerful on weekdays, and these eight maids are also very well-behaved, and they are also easy to use on weekdays, so it is better to bring up the future things.
If this is the case, there are not enough people, so wait until the door is over.
"Slave and maid wish."
The four of them bowed their heads in unison.
"Okay." Yun Jiao bowed slightly: "In this case, let's take a note now, Pu Jia, come in with me to sharpen the ink." ”
The master and servant entered the house, and within a while, Yun Jiao wrote four deeds of sale, and Pu Jia took them out while blowing.
"Come, press your handprint." Pu Jia handed out the four pages.
"Doubling the monthly case?" Rainbow held the contract in disbelief.
"Our girl is very good, since you follow the girl, the girl will naturally not treat you badly." Pu Jia replied with a smile.
Yun Jiao glanced at the rainbow: "Do you recognize the word?" ”
"The former master of the slave maid studied in the school, and the slave maid has been with her for more than a year, and she knows some of them roughly." Rainbow looked down and replied.
Yun Jiao nodded: "Not bad." ”
Pu Jia accepted the four death deeds, held them in her hands, and stood in front of Yun Jiao: "Girl, it's okay." ”
"Put it away." Yun Jiao casually commanded, and paced forward two steps with her hands behind her back: "When you came, I was angry with others, so I arbitrarily named you.
Now that the deed has been re-signed, it is better to change the name as well. ”
"It's all up to the girl."
The four of them replied in unison.
"Your name is Falling Aoi." Yun Jiao pointed to the rainbow, glanced at the other three, and thought, "Your name is ...... Iris, Pauline, crape myrtle, how? ”
She thinks that these flowers and plants are still suitable for names, and they also reflect each other.
"Thank you, girl, for your name."
The four thanked them in unison.
"Alright, let's all disperse." Yun Jiao waved her hand, and then said to the other four: "I'm tired of you working hard for another day." ”
"You're welcome, girl." The four were immediately flattered.
"The girl has given you the money first, but you need to exert more strength, and don't run away without squeaking." Pu Jia laughed along.
What if you wait until you get into the sedan chair to give them silver, otherwise, what if they run away?
She was still a little worried.
"What did Sister Pujia say, if you don't eat the girl's wedding wine, we won't leave if you beat us!"
"That's it, the girl treats us like a mountain, how can we be so conscienceless."
"Pujia is too underestimated......
The crowd burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay, I'm also joking with you, let's get busy." Pu Jia sent them with a smile: "Girl, let's go in, there are still things for you to see." ”
For a while, the little fluttering tube was happily busy, and everyone was happy, and everyone was looking forward to Yun Jiaohao.
This day was really busy enough, Yun Jiao easily rested, leaning on the couch: "Hibiscus, what time is it?" ”
"It's almost dinner, the guests in front of me are coming one after another, and the master and the eldest and young master are outside to welcome the guests." Mu Hibiscus squatted down in distress and beat her legs: "The girl will rest for a while, and then she will go forward." ”
"Okay." Yun Jiao looked around: "Everything is ready, right?" Have you ever checked it? Isn't there anything missing? ”
"The slave and the maid have dealt with the grandmother, and they are not bad." Hibiscus replied.
While the master and servant were talking, Pu Jia hurriedly came in from outside: "Girl, the fourth girl is here, and she is at the door, saying that she wants to see the girl." ”
