406 Xuanxuan's family affairs
Don't dare to raise it high again, and make a fuss, your mother should come over and beat us both. Looking at the fierce eyes, I can't wait to tear us both up and eat them.
Wu Pingxun walked quietly behind with the child in his arms, and Shen Mingzhu's breath in his heart was smooth.
She turned around and began to grind Aunt Shen again, "Brother-in-law is not at home, isn't Jinniang's uncle at home?" It's called Xu Chong, right? He is now a six-grade martial arts captain, if he has a little help, Xiang Gong may be able to get an official position early. ”
What Shen Mingzhu didn't say was that she felt that maybe Xu Chong could help Xianggong better. Although she had the intention to let Xianggong conspire to be fat, she also knew that it was all a radish and a pit, and she was afraid that it would not be easy to stuff people into it. Besides, Xu Erlang is notoriously bad at oil and salt, what if he refuses to arrange errands for his relatives?
On the other hand, Xu Chong, this person has always been a bastard, and he was mixed with the three sects and nine streams as early as Pingyang. Although the reputation is not good, it is such a popular road. He can do things without taking the right path and follow some crooked and evil ways, but I have to say that sometimes crooked and evil ways are also very good.
Besides, such a person has a low bottom line, as long as he is convinced, he will be able to do it. On the other hand, Xu Erlang, Shen Mingzhu didn't say it, but he was indeed a little unoptimistic in his heart.
One more thing, Xiang Gong was catching fast earlier, and Shen Mingzhu intended to let him continue on this road. Although it is not very decent, it is easier to get started. Moreover, the errand soldiers in the capital are not comparable to those in those small places in Zhuyang...... With the help of Xufu, it may not be a small catcher, but a head.
Xu Chong joined the army, and there are more people in this area who want to come and know, so it may be more convenient to arrange.
Shen Mingzhu roughly said the meaning, but he didn't expect Aunt Shen to shake her head immediately, "You also know that Xu Chong is a bastard, he didn't even buy his face when he was in Pingyang, and you still expect him to arrange errands for Pingxun in Jinniang's face?" You have put that thought away, and you haven't expected Erlang to be safer. ”
But begging Xu Erlang, begging Jinniang, just letting Jinniang press her, she felt uncomfortable.
Shen Mingzhu thought so in his heart, but he didn't say the words that rolled to his tongue.
The group entered the flower hall, and Uncle Shen took the opportunity to talk to Father Lin about packing up and saluting in the past few days, preparing to move to Shun'er Hutong in a few days.
Father Lin and Aunt Shen hurriedly stayed when they heard this, "Why are you in a hurry to pack up your things?" Didn't my uncle say that the master's family over there will have to come back in a few days, and then go to the house again, and it will take a few days. Pack your bags now, and it won't be convenient to pick them up then. It's better to live well in the house first, and wait for the house over there to be cleaned up, and then it's not too late to pack your luggage. ”
Uncle Shen waved his hand, "There is nothing in the house over there, and the things of the master's house have been packed away, so there is an uncle in the concierge who is watching." As long as you have passed the house, you can move there at any time. But what you said also makes sense, then wait a few more days, and then clean up here when things are completely settled. ”
Speaking of the shop again, "It's a bit of luck." The shops in the capital are in demand, and it is really difficult to buy them. I looked at a few of them, either the location is not suitable, or the shop is too small, and the business is a little restrictive. ”
I have already bought a house and am ready to buy a shop, so why not move to the capital to live?
Father Lin's mind moved, and he asked the words.
Uncle Shen shook his head without thinking about it, "That's not good." There was a mess left in my hometown, and I finally managed all my contacts, so I didn't want to let go like this, and I was distressed. As for settling in the capital, it is said that it is not easy to live in the capital, just to buy that house, I feel that the foundation is going to be hollowed out, if there is no stable income, I am even more unstable. He also said, "The business of this capital is at our mercy." Those people, they all have ten or eight hearts, and I can't even mention them in front of others. ”
When Jin Niang heard this, she hurriedly said, "Uncle, this is arrogant." Uncle can run a big stall in Zhuyang, why can't he in the capital? The businessmen in the capital are shrewd, but not everyone is shrewd. They are also ordinary people, they also have two eyes, a nose and a mouth, they don't look much longer than their uncle, and they don't grow anything less than their uncle, why does their uncle think so highly of people and step on themselves in the mud? ”
Uncle Shen nodded at Jinniang, crying and laughing.
Jin Niang said, "If you want me to say that my uncle is better to move to the capital." As soon as my cousin is studying in the capital, my cousin-in-law and two children will definitely stay. Only your good aunt went back to Zhuyang, and I couldn't see my grandson for a year or two, don't you want to panic? My cousin and sister-in-law have nothing to do, and they are not familiar with the life in the capital, can you rest assured that they will be left behind? ”
"Again, my uncle is not inferior to the businessmen in the capital, it's just that those people are used to slippery, and my uncle can't speak well with them. And my uncle's business is so big, but the word honesty is valuable, which is the desirability of my uncle. Let's not compare other people's strengths with our weaknesses, when we buy a shop in Beijing, and also find some shopkeepers who can speak well, isn't it worse than them? ”
"As for what my uncle is doing in the capital, I have also thought about this. Why don't you still do your uncle's old business, and sell some mountain food or something? If the uncle felt sorry for Zhu Yang's connections and the house shop, he simply kept it. There are many good things that are not available in the capital over there in Zhuyang, and at that time, my uncle will not have to dismiss those workers, so he will let people help with the guards, and by the way, let them collect the specialties of the northwest for you and transport them to the capital to buy, this business can also be done, right? ”
He also said, "Chang'an Changping has also been doing some business of selling goods from south to north over the years, and my uncle can ask the two boys to learn from them." But you don't have much competition, because Chang'an Changping takes the route from Jiangnan to the northwest, and my uncle takes the route from the northwest to the capital. You can transport things from the northwest to the capital, and then resell those from the capital to the northwest. ”
That's a good way to go.
But whether it is moving to the capital with a family or starting a new business, it is not something that can be settled in one or two sentences. Not to mention anything else, the road from the northwest to the capital is not very smooth, if you want to go smoothly, how to act in order to live and earn the maximum benefits? Don't make up the money if you don't earn it, and then pay for your life, it will be very unworthy.
Uncle Shen had a contemplative look on his face, but this matter really couldn't be settled in a day or two, so he said, "I want to think about it, I'll think about it again." ”
Aunt Shen's mind was also confused at the moment, how could she talk about moving her family to the capital?
How is the capital? That must be good. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the land of glory and wealth, I feel that the sky of the capital is bluer than the northwest, the water of the capital is sweet, and the air of the capital is also fresh.
But Aunt Shen's heart is empty.
The capital is where the nobles live, how can they, the powerless and powerless ordinary people, settle here?
It is said that they would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, although they can't be called a chicken head in Zhuyang, they are also famous and fortunate characters. Zhu Yang went up to the county order and down to the peddlers' pawns, and for the sake of their two good relatives, they all looked up to them a few points, and no one dared to find them uncomfortable.
But when they arrived in the capital, who were they?
Even Erlang and other important ministers of the court are low-key. Even though Jinniang is a lady of fate, she is also kind to others, and she must consider what she says and does, lest she inadvertently cause trouble.
The big guys have to be careful to survive, so they're the little guys,...... Is there any room for them to survive?
Aunt Shen refused to settle in the capital from the bottom of her heart, but in the deepest part of her heart, she was excited by this suggestion.
The capital, that's a place where the county lady has never been. How many rich and noble families in Zhuyang mention the capital, their faces are full of yearning and longing. In their opinion, the capital must be paved with gold bricks, and the people are all pearls and pearls. The capital is a place where they are in awe when they mention it, if she settles in the capital...... Aunt Shen had already imagined the picture of her being flattered and envied.
She trembled with excitement at this time, and she really wanted to pull Uncle Shen to make a decision on this matter directly. However, don't look at how powerful she is shouting outside, as if she is a big person, but at home, especially in this kind of big event, Aunt Shen doesn't dare to say a word.
Seeing her uncle's expression, Jin Niang added another sentence, "It is said that people go to high places, and water flows to low places, since there is a high platform, why should you stoop to a low place?" There are many famous teachers in the capital, and there are also many famous academies, which is very beneficial for studying in the future. What Jin Niang didn't say was that although she couldn't take care of her uncle's family now, after all, maybe when they would be released with Xu Erlang, but they would return to Beijing sooner or later. At that time, uncles and they will be under their noses, even if something happens, they will take care of it.
Jin Niang didn't say it too clearly, but she knew that her uncle must have wanted it, and sure enough, she saw that Uncle Shen's face was even more moved.
He was not moved by anything else, but for Jin Niang's sentence "People go to high places, and water flows to low places". Yes, people struggle all their lives, don't they just want to save face, for their children and grandchildren? Since his children and grandchildren can get a better education and have more opportunities to get ahead, he must not hold them back.
Uncle Shen almost made up his mind about moving to the capital, but he still said that. This is a lifelong event, and even if you relocate, you have to think about many things and don't rush to come.
"I'll think about it again."
……
Uncle Shen left with Aunt Shen with a stunned face and Shen Mingzhu with a thoughtful face. Aunt Shen looked at Father Lin and stopped talking to Jinniang.
Father Lin obviously knew what Aunt Shen wanted to say, so he coughed lightly, "If you want to speak, just talk, and keep watching me do something?" I won't let you say, why are you still giving me eye medicine in front of Jinniang? ”
Aunt Shen was a little aggrieved, she dared to give him eye medicine, didn't she know if she could say that?
"Say it, anyway, things need to be helped by Jinniang, if you don't say it now, I'll talk about it later."
Jin Niang looked at the two elders' vague words, and said funny, "If you have anything to say, my aunt said that in front of me, there is no need to shy away from it." ”
Aunt Shen looked at Father Lin and then at Jinniang, "Then I'll say it." ”
The matter is actually very simple, that is, the fifth princess showed Xuanxuan a personal home, and intended to match the two, so she asked someone to bring a message to the second elder and asked them if they were interested in meeting.
Jin Niang was stunned when she heard this, and said that this thing was unexpected, but in fact, it was not. Because as early as when Jinniang was still in Hezhou, she thought about Xuanxuan's family affairs. She is not a good matchmaker, and she didn't know when she would be able to return to Beijing at that time, so she still thought that Xuanxuan's family affairs would have to be handled by Ke Ke. And Ke Ke has no experience, and he doesn't know much about people, so eighty percent of this matter has to fall on the head of the fifth princess.
She thought about it, but she didn't expect things to really go the way she expected.
Jin Niang smiled, "The five princesses help the people who look at each other, so the designation can't be wrong." "Let's not say that the fifth princess is very stable and reliable, let's just say that just for the sake of Ke Ke and Qing'er's happy life in the future, the fifth princess has to try her best to find a good family for Xuanxuan. Otherwise, Xuanxuan is not comfortable, and in the end, she will have to involve Qing'er and Ke Ke?
When Aunt Shen heard this, she said, "Actually, the fifth princess has already sent me and your father a letter about this matter, and at that time, she still asked Qing'er to write a letter to us, only saying that there are two candidates, and she is optimistic about them, but for the sake of safety, we have to observe and observe." The fifth princess is a proper person, just waiting for us to go to Beijing to see people. However, after we entered Beijing, we began to be busy with the marriage of Qing'er and Ke Ke, and we didn't care about it. ”
At this point, Jin Niang didn't know who the man was, so she asked, "Which son-in-law are you talking about?" ”
The fifth princess is reliable, and she won't give Xuanxuan any powerful people. After all, the Lin family's foundation is still thin, even if Qing'er is in high school and is now compiling in the Hanlin Academy, even if he later marries a county lord and marries the Shangshu family of the Criminal Department of the Dynasty, the gap between the Lin family and those Zhong Ming Ding Food Families in Daqi is still very, very big. I don't mention other Houfu Wangfu, just say that Ke Ke was born in Ke Mansion, and the two families are very different. This is also the old lady's "chaotic mandarin duck spectrum" to pair Qing'er and Ke Ke, otherwise Qing'er wants to marry Ke Ke, which is tantamount to a daydream.
Saying these is also to be specially named, and it is very important for these four words to be a household. Even if there is a saying nowadays that "the high door marries a woman, the low door marries a woman", but to be an in-law, first of all, the two families will not be too far apart, even if there is a gap, the high door and the low door will not be too different.
Jin Niang now understands this sentence very well, although marrying a daughter allows her daughter to marry to a high place, but being a daughter-in-law is not as good as being a daughter-in-law. And if the married family is too powerful, the new daughter-in-law will not be cautious and shy in the world, I am afraid that she will become walking on thin ice and trembling all the time.
Therefore, there are advantages and disadvantages to this girl's high marriage, and for the sake of the girl's good, it is best to be the right person when she says that she is married.
Jin Niang asked Aunt Shen, "What did the fifth princess tell Xuanxuan about the son of that family?" What is his last name, and who are his parents? ”
