Not many people know about the past that Mrs. Xu thought of, and if she hadn't heard her daughter and eldest granddaughter mention that something was wrong with the Jiang family and Jiang Han today, she wouldn't have remembered it.

"When your uncle was young, he fell in love with a peasant girl. The girl's father died young, and she took a lonely widow and set up a stall in the city to sell food.

Your uncle should have liked it at that time, but although the Jiang family is a merchant, he can't look down on that peasant girl.

This matter was quite a big trouble back then, although the Jiang family was not as good as it is now, but after all, it was also one of the best among the merchants in the capital.

Later, your uncle married a wife, and outsiders thought that he had cut off contact with the peasant girl, but I saw her in the Jiang family twenty years ago.

At that time, she was dressed as a woman, and because of the big trouble back then, I had seen her once, so I recognized her at a glance. ”

Mrs. Xu only knew so much, but what she said made Xu Yanzhu shocked.

Xu Yanzhu didn't think deeply about it before, but she would hear this past incident from her grandmother, but she always had a feeling that this matter was very important.

It's just that because she doesn't know about the affairs of the Jiang family, after hearing about this matter, she didn't know what to say for a while.

However, Xu Yanzhu still thought in her heart, find time to ask her mother, although she has a bad relationship with her mother now, she can always find a way to inquire about these things.

After saying this, Mrs. Xu told the two of them about the guests at home.

"What strategy does Shi Qiu want to use, although the shop at home is now in charge, Shi Qiu means to do some more business that he has not been involved in before."

As soon as Mrs. Xu finished speaking, Xu Yanzhu nodded and said: "The third uncle's plan is good, our family's previous shop was somewhat affected because the master was not in the capital. Now these shops continue to do their previous business, and if they find some businesses that they have not done before, they will be able to earn more money in the future. ”

"Yanzhu is right, I will talk to my younger siblings when I see them later. If there is a problem with the family's business, go to the Five Princes' Mansion to find me. ”

Xu Nuanwen also supports her family in other businesses, she understands Xu Shiqiu's thoughts, so it is absolutely impossible to do it without silver in her hand.

They don't want to be greedy, but business is absolutely necessary.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were talking in the main courtyard, and Dong Shu also took Yuan Xi, who had just eaten milk and changed diapers, to the main courtyard.

As soon as they saw Yuan Xi, Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu were busy reaching out to hug her, but Yuan Xi didn't look at them at all, but stretched out her hand to Mrs. Xu.

"Yuan Xi is used to being hugged by her mother every day, and when she arrives in the main courtyard, she always has to let her mother hug her for a while." Dong Shu said and smiled at Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu with a little embarrassment.

Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu naturally wouldn't be angry, seeing Yuan Xi obediently sitting in Mrs. Xu's arms, staring at them with big eyes, their eyes were immediately attracted by Yuan Xi.

Seeing that her sister and eldest niece had been staring at her mother-in-law, Dong Shu looked at her mother-in-law and said, "Mother, before I left home this morning, my father-in-law told me that today and tomorrow are the first assessments in the barracks. So he won't go home tonight, and will wait until tomorrow afternoon to take Brother Shuo home with him, and the day after tomorrow he will give the soldiers in the barracks a day off. ”

Old Mrs. Xu hadn't spoken before she heard Dong Shu's words, and Xu Nuanwen, who was originally staring at Yuan Xi on the side, had already taken the first step to speak: "Originally, I also planned to go to the barracks to see Brother Shuo'er, since he will come back with his uncle tomorrow night, then I will stay in Zhuangzi for the next two days." ”

As she spoke, Xu Nuanwen instructed outside again: "Come on, go and tell Brother Xuan'er that his second brother will come back tomorrow, and let him stay in Zhuangzi obediently for the next two days and not be naughty." ”

Hearing Xu Nuanwen's words, Mrs. Xu said: "When I heard you mention Brother Xuan, I just remembered, what about Brother Xuan?" ”

"This kid is in good health this year, and he is a lot more skinny than before. No, as soon as I arrived in Zhuangzi, I saw a group of children of the same age playing there, and he begged me for a while, and I agreed that he would play with the group of children for a while. ”

Xu Nuanwen said that Ye Xuan was naughty, but her eyebrows were full of joy.

After only a little thought, I understood that Ye Xuan would be naughty, and it was also because his body had improved, if he was still the same as before, even if he was allowed to go out to play, he would not go.

"There are no children of the same age as Brother Xuan at home, and he is bored alone. However, Uncle Xu's family has a few grandsons who are about the same age as Brother Xuan, if my sister doesn't mind, I will let them come over and get to know Brother Xuan later. ”

Dong Shu and several grandsons of Xu Er's family are familiar with each other, and when they were still in Xiahe Village before, they studied and read with themselves.

Now that they are in the capital, those children also have something to do, but they can still find two of them to lead Brother Xuan to play.

Xu Nuanwen's eyes lit up when she heard Dong Shu's words, and after listening to Dong Shu's introduction to Xu Jie, who had not yet married, she immediately smiled and said: "It's really a coincidence, there is a palace maid in the palace of the mother concubine, who is going to leave the palace this year, one year younger than Xu Jie, I don't know if he wants to marry her." After saying this, Xu Nuanwen saw that everyone was looking at her, so she continued to explain: "I don't know how to speak in ordinary people, this palace maid is very sensible, she is also smart, and her appearance is not bad, but she is the daughter of Xiucai's family before the accident at home, and she is also literate." ”

Xu Nuanwen is not a random matchmaker, the palace maid she said has always helped her find out the news in Concubine De's palace.

Now that she is going to leave the palace, her father and mother have already passed away, and she originally said that she would find a good family for her.

Although Xu Jie has no official status now, after all, with Xu Shiqiu, as long as he is not too bad, he will definitely have an official position in the future.

What's more, after Xu Er's family and their family joined the clan, their identities were naturally different from before.

"It's a good relationship." Mrs. Xu is also satisfied with this family business, she believes that her daughter's vision will never introduce a bad girl to Xu Jie.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu looked at Dong Shu and said, "You ask the Lin family to come and tell her about it, and let her go back and talk to the family." If they don't have a problem at home, then start preparing. When the autumn palace ladies leave the palace, they will be able to marry a new daughter-in-law this winter. ”

Xu Jie is twenty-six years old this year, and their family is going to die of sorrow because of his marriage, but Xu Jie's ordinary girls are still not eye-catching.

This time Xu Nuanwen said that this girl, although she has been a palace maid in the palace for more than ten years, she can read and break words, and the rules that come out of the palace are definitely not bad, and Xu Jie must be satisfied.

As soon as Dong Shu heard Mrs. Xu's instructions, she walked quickly to the door and asked Ling Xiang to send a letter to the Lin family of Xu Jun's family.

The Lin family came quickly, and after listening to Xu Nuanwen's words, she said with bright eyes: "Dad must be very happy if you know that the fifth princess is the matchmaker." When Lin said this, he was also happy in his heart.

The three of them are all rural girls who are illiterate, and this time if the brother-in-law marries a literate brother and sister and goes home, the children in the family will also have someone to help raise them.

Especially a few girls in the family, now with the unusual status of the men in the family, the family that marries in the future will not be an ordinary farmer.

But there is no one to educate them, and the girls in the family don't know the rules, although they are now literate and can settle accounts, but in the end they are still not as good as those girls who have learned the rules since childhood.

Lin's joy was very real, and Xu Nuanwen felt satisfied when she saw it.

After the Lin family left, Xu Nuanwen looked at Mrs. Xu and said: "The marriage of the second brother's family Yanlang is estimated to be finalized, I said to Xianggong before I came to Zhuangzi, and when he came to Zhuangzi in a few days, he would bring the staff and his family." ”

As soon as Mrs. Xu heard Xu Nuanwen's words, she understood that she was doing this to let herself see the girl.

After nodding, Mrs. Xu spoke: "Yanqing is going to be a father, and the following children are gradually growing up to marry, and your brother's family affairs have not been decided?" ”

Speaking of this, Xu Nuanwen was also worried.

"I mentioned it to Xianggong before, and listening to his tone, it seems that the saint intends to give Brother Huan a marriage."

Because Rui Kangdi is getting old, there has been no draft in the court for five years, and according to the year, next year will be the year of the general election, I am afraid that there will be a draft.

Thinking of this, Xu Nuanwen thought of the girl of the Liu family who her brother Shuo was worried about.

"Mother, when the brothers in the family gradually grew up, did you feel annoyed when you chose relatives for them?"

As soon as Xu Nuanwen's words came out, Mrs. Xu understood what she meant, squinted her eyes, glanced at her, and then said: "What's so annoying about this, as a housewife, you always have to worry about these things." Didn't your brother Shuo already find a family affair for himself? Brother Xuan is still young now, you just need to worry about Brother Huan.

Although the saint intends to give marriage, but as a mother-in-law, you should also pay more attention to the right girls. ”

As soon as Xu Nuanwen heard Mrs. Xu talk about this, she remembered something.

"Mother, when I entered the palace a few days ago, my mother was angry when she learned that Yan Hao of the eldest brother's family and the girl of the Zhang family were discussing marriage. If it weren't for the old lady of the Zhang family who also entered the palace that day and said that the Zhang family didn't want to send their daughter to the royal family again, the mother would definitely say me again. ”

As soon as Xu Nuanwen finished speaking, Mrs. Xu frowned and said, "Could it be that Concubine De is planning to let Brother Huan'er marry the girl from her mother's family?" ”

"It must be, when the husband wanted to get married, the Zhang family didn't have a girl of the right age, and now Brother Huan wants to get married, and the Zhang family has a girl."

Xu Nuanwen felt angry when she thought of this, she could understand Concubine De's desire to promote her mother's family, but she actually wanted her own son to marry a girl from the second room of the Zhang family.

Although the girl is not bad, Xu Nuanwen feels that it is not suitable for her own family.

She understood Ye Jingxing's thoughts, if he could really succeed, his brother Huan'er would have to be in that position in the future, so she would keep pressing on his marriage.

Mrs. Xu also understood Xu Nuanwen's thoughts, and when she heard her words, she couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Suohuan is still young now, and it is nothing for a man to marry two years later." ”

Xu Nuanwen also felt that what Mrs. Xu said was very right, her brother Huan was only a teenager, and it was not too late to get married in his twenties.

Dong Shu just sat on the side and listened to her mother-in-law and sister talking about the marriage of the younger generations, and suddenly thought that her family Yuan Xi was only more than six months old now.

And her father-in-law still has no son, so if she has another son in the future, won't she be younger than the grandson of the eldest brother's family?

As soon as she thought of this, Dong Shu thought about waiting for Xu Shiqiu to come back and discuss it with him.

Now that her body has been raised, I don't know if she can conceive another one?
