After reading the letter, I naturally want to reply.

Jin Niang thought that she would be free at this time, so she wrote the letter and asked people to send it out quickly. In addition, Qing'er is young and doesn't do anything, and there is no elder by his side, so it is not good for him to make up his mind in person. Besides, the rules of the capital and Pingyang are still not the same, and besides, the daughter-in-law who married is also a little big, so the things that have been decided are bound to be richer.

Jinniang asked the nurse to coax the triplets out of the house, and then said to Xu Erlang, "I don't know if Qing'er wrote to her father and aunt." This kind of thing, my father and aunt will definitely show up in person. "Even if it's far away, you have to think about it. After all, no matter what, this is the county lord who married the royal jade butterfly, and this has to be solemn. Again, Qing'er is the only son in the family, and the daughter-in-law she marries will carry the burden of the family with him in the future, and be solemn with this daughter-in-law, no matter what aspect it is, it is good.

There is another thing, "My father has only been a few years after he became a jinshi, and I am afraid that the money in his hand is not enough." ”

Father Lin was kind-hearted, and although he opened a school and accepted many students, he couldn't see that the sons and daughters of those poor families had no food, nor did he see them wearing thin clothes to study in winter. Therefore, it is common to give up some food and clothing to go out, and even if it is tied, sometimes he does not accept it.

In addition, he felt that putting some people's land into his own name, and those people paying a part of the taxes for themselves, so as to offset the taxes of the imperial court, was a matter of harming the country and the people, so he did not have much land in his name.

If there is no land, there is no additional income, and close to the bundle paid by the students and the monthly rice and silver issued by the imperial court, although they can save some money, but after all, it is not much.

If you marry a girl from an ordinary official family, it will make it possible, and you can also do your family affairs decently. But if you take a prominent county lord to enter the door, it will be far from enough.

Jin Niang was worried and wanted to send some silver over.

Xu Erlang said, "First take 10,000 taels to go around, and in addition, you can choose a few precious things in the treasury of Fuzhong and send them over to see if they can come in handy." ”

Jin Niang didn't think about it and said, "Ten thousand taels is a bit too much, it shouldn't be so much." "Now it's just a marriage, and more than a thousand silver should be enough. Even if you get married later, you have to buy a rich bride price for the woman, and there are several years to sting, and there is no hurry.

Xu Erlang said, "Just 10,000 taels." The rest let Qing'er look at buying a yard in the capital. "After all, it is a person who is married, and it is not very good to have a decent place to settle in the capital. Although the Ke Mansion should not care about this, and even more so, they may secretly "help" in private, but Qing'er will not accept the things over there, so only they will help to save face.

Jin Niang thought that this was the case, so she didn't postpone it any longer, and responded sharply. I'm going to take a silver ticket of 10,000 taels later, and then go to the warehouse to see if there is anything suitable, and send it directly.

After saying that, Jin Niang and Xu Erlang both began to write letters.

Jin Niang told Qing'er some precautions, plus let her father and Aunt Shen live directly in Xu's Mansion at that time.

Xu Erlang played the old tune again, asking Qing'er to be more low-key recently, no matter what words were said in his heart three times before exiting.

The husband and wife each wrote two or three sheets, and together they were one letter.

wrote a reply to Qing'er, so naturally he also had to reply to Xu's father. This Jin Niang doesn't care, let Xu Erlang write it by himself.

But she estimated that the days would be three months before Pianpin's birthday.

Pianpian's birthday will be fifteen years after her birthday, that is, she will be in time.

It is a great event to hold a ceremony. Because at that time, it is not only necessary to invite some good families to watch the ceremony, but also to prepare in advance the clothes and accessories to be worn at the ceremony, and even the people who have the honor and praise at the ceremony will also have the most light and valuable people to take on the responsibility.

It's a hassle to think about.

Even if Jin Niang is to deal with it, it will be tricky. But she is not in the capital now, but far away in Hezhou. The just and the ceremony can only be handed over to Xu's mother to handle.

And Xu's mother ...... Jin Niang is no longer worried about her.

Jin Niang was worried for a while.

It is a very important etiquette nowadays, and when so many guests come to watch the ceremony, if something goes wrong, they will lose their faces.

Not to mention, the girl's family and the ceremony will mean that you can get married, and the family affairs will start to prepare...... Although Xu Erlang once said that he would keep Pian Pian for a few more years, it was absolutely impossible. Just look at the frequency of Li Hehui's letters to Hezhou in the past year. This man is secretly trying to do it. If you can persuade the eldest brother to directly set the wedding date forward, it would be fine, but if not...... I'm afraid that I will directly ask the old lady to come forward and ask the palace to make an order.

Alas, the more I think about it, the more headaches I get. Jin Niang didn't want to think about these things anymore. But she couldn't put it down, and she couldn't command it remotely, which made her anxious, but she was a little angry in two days, and the corners of her mouth were blistering.

Seeing this, Xu Erlang teased her, "It's not a big deal." ”

Jin Niang rolled her eyes directly, "What big deal am I going to do?" I've given birth to five children for you, and my legs and feet are completely tripped. It's hard for me to go out, and this life is the life of the back house. I'm still doing big things, hmph, I just can't do big things in my life. ”

Xu Erlang let out a sexy muffled laugh in his throat, and Jin Niang glanced at him again when she saw this, becoming more and more sad, "You are a brother, you don't care about anything, Pian Pian is still your sister-in-law." You see how much you care about her as much as I do. "It's nonsense to say this, after all, Xu Erlang only has this one sister-in-law, and he has been raising him with him for the past few years, so there is a reason why it doesn't hurt.

After he settled on the family with Li Hehui, he looked for valuable things and prepared to make Pianpian's dowry when the time came.

Prepare a Zhuangzi today, buy hundreds of acres of fertile land tomorrow, and buy a few more in the shops picked up in various state capitals the day after tomorrow; Or some merchants sent some rare and precious rough jewelry, she asked Jin Niang to pick them, and the rest was all kept by Pianpin.

Bit by bit, I have saved enough to have a treasury in this year.

Even if it is the best firewood, the mountain people also cut a lot from the mountains. All the yellow rosewood, now he is inviting a craftsman to make furniture, and he has to pat Mohe from time to time to take a look at the process, which is really concerned.

So if Xu Erlang doesn't care about Pianpian, then this statement is really untenable.

However, there is a lot of this dowry prepared, and it should be transported by air. Originally, Xu Erlang intended to let Chang'an Changping come over again this summer, and bring these things with him when he went back.

But this year, there is a matter of Pian Pian and Lu, and a few people are not good to come over again, so they have to let someone send them over in person?

Jin Niang couldn't help but mutter, "It would be great if we could go back." ”

yes, what a great opportunity.

Father Lin and Aunt Shen are also coming to Beijing at this time, and the family can get together. Then you can also participate in Qing'er's marriage ceremony, and you can also participate in the Pianpian ceremony.

Jin Niang originally just said this unintentionally, but when she thought about it at this time, it was really getting stronger and stronger, and she really hated to fly to the capital immediately.

It's just that the triplets are still young, and they are dumbfounded when there is an accident on the road. And if they all leave, leaving Xu Erlang alone in the house, he will not be able to live in the yamen without anyone looking at him. So when she comes back from the capital, will Xu Erlang still be human?

But she really wants to go back to the capital.

Especially the Pianpian and the courtesy, without her personally handling, she is really eleven worried.

Seeing that Jin Niang's face was full of imminent meaning, Xu Erlang was a little big.

How do you think about it, it is a play, and when you say that you want to go to the capital, you are already full of capital. How is this ...... How many adults are here, why are you still so impulsive.

Xu Erlang immediately spoke out to stop Jin Niang's thoughts, "Qi'er, they are still young." It's not that you don't know the hard work of traveling, so you can rest assured that you can bring them with you? Don't think about this, Pian Pian and Qing'er, if you are really not at ease, I will let Mohe run it himself. As for Qing'er's marriage, with the help of Master Shangshu, you don't have to worry too much. If you really can't rest assured, I will write to Mrs. Pingxi Hou to take care of it a little more. ”

In fact, over the years, they have had very little contact with Pingxihou. Not just intentionally or unintentionally, there is a lot less unnecessary correspondence between the two sides. Basically, except for the New Year's gifts, the rest of the ushers are gone.

But now they are dancing and saluting, and they really have to do it.

In fact, according to Xu Erlang's original meaning, it seems more appropriate to let Suqian's wife take care of it on his behalf. But after all, Suqian is not surnamed Xu, and the woman in Suqian is not surnamed Xu, and Pian Pian and Lu are the major events of the Xu family.

As for the Si and Praisers on the Pianpian and Lu Li, Xu Erlang also has a candidate in his heart.

But now there is no hurry, and it is not too late to hire someone in another month.

Xu Erlang said it badly, and finally suppressed Jinniang's thoughts of going to the capital.

But visible to the naked eye, Jin Niang began to give up.

She always began to sigh when she was doing something; Or they were busy and began to lose their minds, which made Changle, Xiaoyuer and Brother Rong, who were already sensible, worried.

But after Changle diagnosed the pulse, he only said that Jin Niang was too worried, and there was nothing wrong with the rest.

While the three children breathed a sigh of relief, they couldn't help but be curious, so they asked Jinniang what happened?

Whether it is Qing'er's business or Pian's business, there is no need to hide it from the child. Jin Niang told them. And the reactions of the three children after listening to them were also quite entangled.

Changle said, "Uncle Ke has set Aunt Keke, which is a good thing. In the future, we will be a family, and the little aunt must be very happy, and it will be more convenient to play with Aunt Ke Ke in the future. Alas, no, I'm going to call my aunt in the future. ”

Jin Niang knew that this girl was deliberately laughing to make her happy, but her aunt really couldn't call her now. I haven't decided to marry yet, and I don't know how to wait until the Year of the Monkey to get married. After all, Ke Ke's parents really love this daughter, and Qing'er is really not very old, so it is definitely something to leave Ke Ke until he is eighteen years old and then let the two get married. Otherwise, she wouldn't have told Xu Erlang before that Qing'er's dowry gift to the Ke family was not in a hurry. After all, when Ke Ke turns eighteen, there are several years in between. In the past few years, how can I get together a dowry of 100 burdens on the table.

Xiao Yu'er also said, "The little aunt and the mother and father can't come forward, but isn't there a third uncle?" My mother thinks that my grandfather and grandmother are not ...... cough, "Xiao Yu'er wants to say that her grandfather and grandmother are unreliable, but even if this is true, this is not something that she, as a granddaughter, can say." The juniors talk about the rights and wrongs of the elders, and if they are put there, they will be said to be unfilial and will be punctured in the backbone.

Xiao Yu'er coughed in time, covered her mouth with her hand, and pretended that what happened just now did not happen.

Changle hung his head and smiled, pretending not to hear; Jinniang, she's worried, so I'm sorry, she didn't hear it. It's Brother Rong, who was young when he left Beijing, and his impression of his grandparents was very limited.

Besides, the brothers and sisters are usually very attentive, and basically don't say the right and wrong of the elders; My father and mother would not mention that grandparents were not. Brother Rong had no time to know what kind of character his grandparents had...... It's impossible!

Because in addition to a few masters, there are many servants in the house. And although most of these minions were purchased after arriving in Hezhou, a small part of them were brought directly from the capital.
