Chapter 218: Happy Events
Comfortable days always pass very quickly, and in the spring of the second year after the drought, Mingyue has a small bun on her hand.
Yu Jiayan, who got the news, smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes, and several people in the family all took double the monthly money that month.
In addition, Yu Jiayan also asked her grandmother to send two more women in their forties.
Both women had experience caring for pregnant women and had more than one child of their own.
Like several previous buyers, this time Yu Jiayan also bought all the families of these two women.
Since the winter solstice has already settled with Changping, and the vanilla has reached the age where she can find her mother-in-law's family, Yu Jiayan suggested that Mingyue keep the daughters of these two women by her side.
Mingyue didn't really want the two little maids that Yu Jiayan recommended to her, mainly because one of them was a little stupid, and the other was overactive.
Those who are stupid will waste more energy both teaching and calling, and those who are too alive will easily betray the Lord or cause trouble.
Relatively speaking, she still prefers the winter solstice or vanilla.
They are clever enough to complete the tasks assigned by Mingyue well, but at the same time, they will not make their own decisions or be greedy, and they will lose the sense of proportion that a slave and a maid should have.
As a subordinate, they are qualified and responsible, and this is the most important thing for Mingyue.
Yu Jiayan didn't have the consciousness that he had been refuted at all, anyway, he didn't look at the two little girls with his eyes, and the reason why he recommended them to Mingyue was entirely because they were suitable for being little girls in terms of age and gender.
Not to mention that now it's just the husband and wife talking in private, even in front of the other people in the family, Yu Jiayan will not feel that he can't get off the stage because Mingyue didn't accept his suggestion.
In the end, Mingyue chose two other little girls from Zhuangzi to serve by her side, and Yu Jiayan's newly bought sister-in-law Sun and sister-in-law Qian's family members, Mingyue sent them all to Zhuangzi to develop the breeding industry.
Only Sister-in-law Sun and Sister-in-law Qian themselves, Mingyue temporarily placed them by her side.
For the next period of time, the winter solstice has been teaching Mingyue the cooking skills of the little girl she bought back. The little maid who was selected by her as her successor, Mingyue gave her a new name called Xiaoxue. Another little girl who was taken by Liu San's family to learn to do needlework, Mingyue gave her a new name called Gu Yu.
Xiaoxue and Gu Yu originally fled from other places, and in order to make up enough money to return to their hometowns, the adults of their two families sold the unappreciated girl to the local Sun Pozi.
Grandma Sun taught the two for a while, and found that they were diligent, capable, and kind, so Grandma Sun introduced them to her old patron Mingyue.
Mingyue took pity on these two little girls with yellow faces and thin muscles, so they didn't starve to death directly, although there was no shortage of people in their family at that time, but Mingyue still bought these two little girls.
Together with them, Mingyue bought two other men and three girls, and all seven children were sent to Zhuangzi by Mingyue at that time.
The Zhuangzi had food, drink, clothing and shelter, and there was not much work in the winter that they needed to help with, so the seven children quickly put a layer of flesh on their bodies.
They are grateful to Mingyue, and they are also grateful to the Zhuangtou and Zhuangtou ladies who are very kind to them, so as long as there is work in the Zhuangzi, these little guys will rush to do it.
Zhuang Tou and Zhuang Tou's mother-in-law liked their diligence and sensibility very much, before and after the Chinese New Year, Mingyue invited them to Yu's house twice, and they both said good things for these seven children.
Mingyue was curious, so she asked the other subordinates on the Zhuangzi to inquire about these children.
To her surprise, nine out of ten of the people in Zhuangzi were praising these children who were either sold or sold themselves.
Especially Xiaoxue and Gu Yu, whose real names are Sannier and Wuyaer, are almost none of the aunts and aunts in Zhuangzi who don't like these two girls.
This is also why Mingyue did not hesitate to take Xiaoxue and Gu Yu into the mansion to serve her.
Time passed like a stream, and when Mingyue and Yu Jiayan's baby girl Lele were full moon, the winter solstice took a dowry from Mingyue and happily married Changping, who was a slave in the Yu family with her.
Changping had been living in the west wing of the Yu family's front yard before, and he lived in the same house as Yu Jiayan's other small servant, Taiping. Now that he has reached the age of getting married, of course Yu Jiayan can't let him squeeze together with Taiping anymore.
Fortunately, he and Mingyue had already bought the house next door a long time ago, Changping and Dongzhi got married, Yu Jiayan and Mingyue discussed it slightly, and then decided to divide the south house of the west wing of the first courtyard of the next house to the young couple of Changping and Dongzhi.
As subordinates, the wedding of Changping and the Winter Solstice was very simple, because there were no elders who could help them manage the marriage, so the two simply held a wedding.
Not to mention procedures such as combining eight characters, they have even omitted procedures such as hiring and determining relatives.
The marriage between the two is the master of Yu Jiayan and Mingyue, Changping and Yu Jiayan asked to marry the winter solstice, Yu Jiayan helped him hand over a message to Mingyue, and Mingyue made the decision to give the winter solstice to Changping after asking for the opinion of the winter solstice.
Because it was her own decision to set the family affairs for the winter solstice, and the winter solstice also postponed her wedding date in order to take care of her confinement, so Mingyue specially prepared two silver bracelets, two silver hairpins, and ten taels of silver to press the bottom of the box for the winter solstice.
In addition, the bright moon was rewarded to the winter solstice in the past, and the winter solstice was saved by itself, and the dowry of the winter solstice was actually more than the dowry of the daughters of ordinary small families.
Of course, Changping, who is Yu Jiayan's personal servant, is not a poor boy who is poor and white, in addition to the monthly money and silver he has saved over the years, Yu Jiayan also gave him another ten taels of silver for him to handle the marriage for himself.
Changping kowtowed to Yu Jiayan, and then took the silver to buy wedding candles, wedding clothes, wedding quilts, wedding banquets and furniture ornaments.
Other things are okay, as long as you go to the shop to buy them, only the wedding banquet is to be held in the Yu family's house, so in addition to buying ingredients and drinks, he also has to apply to Mingyue for the right to use one of the kitchens in the house.
Of course, Mingyue would not refuse to temporarily lend a kitchen for their little couple, and even she specially sent Xiaoxue, Gu Yu, sister-in-law Sun, and sister-in-law Qian to help Changping prepare the banquet.
Since the vast majority of the guests who participated in the wedding of Changping and the Winter Solstice were the descendants of the Ming family and the Yu family who had a good relationship with Changping or the Winter Solstice, the number was not large, so Xiaoxue and the others only needed to help prepare four tables of banquets, one table for Yu Jiayan, who participated in the wedding of Changping and the Winter Solstice, and the other three tables for all the descendants of the Yu family and the Ming family who came to attend the wedding.
