68 Knowing the rites and marrying the family

Old Madam Fang was finally taken aback, "This is strange, although our Fang family is also an official eunuch, in the eyes of King Jing's Mansion, it is just a grain of rice in the sea----"

"The old lady is humble, let's not talk about our master's current official position, just say that the real girl has set the family business of Pingyang Hou, and then come to the kinship between our family and Yongningbo, which all add up, and it is more than enough than the top. What's more, we know righteousness and fight for righteousness, and we are so friendly with the prince of King Jing----"

"We're just mortal friends." Zhiyi suddenly interrupted Li's words,

Li froze, stared at Zhiyi's flat face, and said: "You kid loves humility, if it's really a mortal friend, then Li Xiao can run to your yard every day?" ”

Zhiyi's expression was a little impatient, "The total has come four times." ”

"---" met a person who loved to chew words and was serious, and Li couldn't bear it, so he had to laugh and close his voice.

But Rushan said crisply: "The second brother is indeed humble, if it is really a mortal friend, then why did Li Xiao run to the second brother's yard three times and twice?" ”

Zhilian wanted to answer very much, but thinking about what Zhiyi said to himself in his father's study a few days ago, his blood surged again, and he closed his lips tightly, not daring to speak.

The old lady seemed to be overwhelmed, and after letting the children go down to rest, she left the Li family alone.

The Li family commanded the servants during the day, dealt with the distinguished guests, and chatted with the laughter, and the people were very tired, but the old lady had no intention of letting her go, and she didn't dare to be disobedient, so she had to wait for the children to leave, and then she said with a smile: "The old lady still has something to tell her daughter-in-law?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that you handled it very well today."

Li smiled embarrassedly, "Old lady Xie praises, this is what a daughter-in-law should do." However, thanks to the old lady's guidance, the daughter-in-law did not mess up. "What Li said was the truth, although she was the daughter of a member of the Sanpin court, and she had seen a lot of the world with her mother in the past, but if she really wanted to go into battle herself, she had no bottom in her heart.

It is unknown whether Li's sycophant has worked, but the old lady glanced at her and said lightly: "Zhili will perform the weak crown ceremony next year, and I have to tell him about family affairs, what does my wife think?" ”

Li Shi was a little shocked and said, "But isn't Zhili going to Beijing to take the exam in February next year?" ”

"Going to test and getting married are two different things. Let's book the family affairs for Brother Li'er first, does my wife have a favorite girl? ”

"This ---" Li is in trouble, the three brothers and sisters of Zhili have been raised by the old lady's side, she has nothing to worry about except for the obvious meaning, she originally thought that the children's family affairs were also handled by the old lady and Fang Jinglan, and she had always been her stepmother with peace of mind, and she had never asked about Zhili's family affairs.

"The daughter-in-law has no bottom in her heart, but many guests who came to give gifts today have a good mouth and daughter-in-law, and they intend to marry our family, old lady, I think it's good to be the daughter of the political envoy." After talking for a long time, the Li family finally recruited a girl to come out, quickly moved her buttocks, and said diligently: "I think that the daughter of the political history is good, and she has just performed the gift of the courtesy. ”

The old lady asked, "Has the girl seen it?" ”

"This, this--- that is not ----"

"Since I haven't seen it, how does the wife know that the girl was born with a beautiful country and a gentle temperament?"

"This," Li hurriedly said with a smile: "Then Mrs. Liu personally came to send a congratulatory gift, and the daughter-in-law saw that this Mrs. Liu was born with a beautiful face and extraordinary talents, and it is expected that if there is a mother, there will be a daughter, and the girl must not be bad." ”

The old lady said leisurely: "I have heard of this Mrs. Liu, I heard that the Liu family has two daughters, one is a concubine, and the other is a concubine-." I heard that they are all of the same age. ”

"We know that Li is the eldest son, and of course we must marry a wife. What do you do by marrying a concubine? ”

"I heard that the women of the Liu family are arrogant, often beat and scold the slaves, and even caused a personal ---"

"Is there such a thing?" Li Shi was shocked, seeing that the old lady's expression was awe-inspiring, and she didn't seem to be telling a lie, she immediately said: "That's absolutely unacceptable, this wife should be married to a virtuous person, and such a fierce and powerful master mother is married, I am afraid it is not a blessing to know the etiquette." ”

The old lady didn't speak, and Li was secretly stunned, secretly hating that he had talked nonsense without inquiring clearly in advance, hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively spoke, "Then, the daughter of the Li family?" What does the old lady think? ”

"Which Li family?"

"It's Li Zhizhou's daughter, Li Wan'er." With the lessons of the past, the Li family did not dare to praise this Li family's daughter as the only one in the world.

But the old lady's expression became more and more light, I don't know if she was really tired, or what, she beckoned to the Li family, "Forget it, you are tired today, go back and rest early, you will be busy tomorrow." ”

Li Shi couldn't wait to slip away immediately, and after saying a few more words, he hurried away, for fear that the old lady would call her to stop her and let her do something brain-consuming and thankless.

I don't know if it was the Fang family's ancestral tomb that suddenly smoked, or what, there have been a lot of happy events in the Fang Mansion recently.

Zhili Zhongju is loved by many parents and elders who have a daughter in the boudoir, and one after another matchmaker has almost broken the threshold of Fangfu. After Fang Jinglan and the old lady had almost slept for several days and nights, inquired in many ways, and considered and analyzed in an all-round way, they finally decided on the daughter of the He family in the capital for Zhili. This old lady of the He family was the first emperor Gaozu Emperor Qianyuan 12 years to Yongqing 8 years of the cabinet scholar, after the death of the first emperor and was crowned as the prince from the first product, his eldest son in Yongqing three years of high school jinshi, under the father's Yu Wei, all the way to the clouds, is now the James Mansion is the third grade of James. The second son of the scholar He is currently serving as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and the eldest daughter is married to a colleague of the Liu family, who is an official in the same dynasty as the scholar of He, and it is considered an equal marriage. The second daughter and concubine are also all official eunuchs, and they are not considered wealthy families in the capital, but they are definitely famous families, scholarly disciples, and the He family has also been officials for generations, and has always enjoyed a clear reputation in Shilin, and is quite prestigious.

Zhili is engaged to the second daughter of the He family, his father He Shouwen is the James of the James, and his mother is the daughter of the Inspectorate Zhengerpin Zuodu Yushi. Compared with it, the Fang family is much thinner and colder. This family affair can be regarded as the second daughter of the He family who married low, and the etiquette was high.

After finally knowing the illustrious background of the future sister-in-law and the future housemother of the Fang family, Ruqing was surprised at first, and then sighed at Fang Jinglan's good intentions.

In the afternoon, when embroidering with the female red master, Rumei couldn't help but tell Rushan and Ruqing the great news she heard from the Li family.

As a senior eavesdropper, Ruqing had already known the nobility of Zhili's family affairs, but in order to save face for Rumei, she still pretended to be surprised and widened her eyes, and exclaimed: "Third sister, what you said is true?" ”

Although Rushan was surprised, her face was silent, which made Rumei lose face, and Ruqing's exclamation made her heart much smoother, and she glanced at Rushan and said loudly: "No, our future sister-in-law, the disciple is not low, grandpa is the first emperor and the current emperor's cabinet scholar, my father is a Zhengsanpin James, and my mother's family is also extremely prominent. Rumei has a good memory, and she listened to Fang Jinglan and Li's words word by word.

Rumei looked disdainful, "This family business is a big brother." This Gao Pan's in-laws have their own benefits, but the eldest brother will become a strict wife in the future. ”

"What does it mean to be strict with a wife?" I don't understand it.

"It's just that I'm afraid of my wife."

Ruqing's eyes widened sharply, and her eyes looked at Rushan in disbelief.
