Chapter 24 I'm going to urge vegetables
Xin Yao bypassed the man on the ground, sat down steadily, and called the maid to serve tea, and then opened her mouth to get up, and said, "How did you meet Yinggui, why did you ask to marry her?" Did Xiao Han let you come? ”
Bu San hugged his fists and said: "Grandma's big day, the brothers are tired for a day, and the banquet is really delicious, our table is ...... Grandma, I'll tell you the truth, I was the one I saw after losing the guess and being sent to the kitchen to urge vegetables. ”
"From that day on, my Bu San was like a girl with lovesickness, but I was ugly, I was a rough man, and my family was not rich.
Xin Yao laughed and said, "Since you are not worthy of her, why did you come to me again?" ”
Bu San touched his head embarrassedly, there seemed to be a hint of red on his face, but his complexion was too dark, and he couldn't see it really, and he said for a long time: "Although I know that I don't deserve it, but when I think of her, my heart is as uncomfortable as a cat scratch." Early this morning, I heard Commander Xiao talk about the fact that the girl Yinggui was going to get married, and I ...... I can't take care of anything else, I ask Mrs. Xiao to marry the girl Yinggui to me, I swear that I will be good to her for the rest of my life, she will let me go east, I will never go west. ”
Xin Yao was happy in her heart, where did such a character pop up, it was as black as a Guan Gong, and her eardrums trembled when she spoke, and she looked like a little daughter-in-law when she squirmed.
She cleared her throat and said, "Brother Bu, if you don't want to be seen, why doesn't Brother Bu marry when you reach twenty-five?" ”
Bu San explained with a low face: "My biological parents died early, I have lived with my uncle and aunt since I was a child, and there are many brothers in the family, and I am embarrassed to mention this matter." ”
Xin Yao sighed: "You six brothers, how many of them are not married?" ”
Bu San hurriedly said: "There are also me and the sixth child." ”
"How old is the sixth child?"
Bu Sandao: "The sixth child of my family is fourteen this year, and he reads well, so he can't get married early." ”
Xin Yao narrowed her eyes and said, "How much is a month?" Do you keep it for yourself or give it to the second elder? ”
Bu San pulled his fingers a few times and said, "Five taels of silver a month, all of which will be handed over to my parents for safekeeping." I secretly saved two hundred and seventy-six taels in private, and it was not a legitimate source. So I didn't dare to give it to them. ”
Xin Yao bowed her head and said, "If I give you the warbler, how can I make a living?" ”
Bu San took a step forward with a firm expression: "Mrs. Xiao, if I have a bite to eat, I won't starve her for a cent, and every tael of silver I earn in the future will be handed over to her." ”
Xin Yao was stunned in her heart, but said with a smile: "I know about this." But although I can call the shots about Yinggui's return, she has to be happy, you know the Yiyuan in the capital, tell her what you think, if she agrees. I don't have a word for it. ”
Bu San's face was overjoyed, his eyes were shining, and he clenched his fists and shouted: "Thank you grandma, Bu San said goodbye!" After that, he walked straight away without looking back.
Mother Li couldn't help but complain: "Looks like a fierce god, how can such a person be worthy of Yinggui?" ”
Xin Yao smiled: "Good heart." It hurts. What do men do to be good-looking? Just let him go, let him stir up trouble. ”
Mother Li turned a corner and thought: "Although she looks a little ugly, compared to that pianist, she is a heaven." An underground, but it looks like a person who lives a life, but there are more brothers in the family......"
Jiang Xinyao saw that she disliked what she liked for a while, ignored her, and went out on her own.
The man came back in the night. Xin Yao didn't ask about Busan, the husband and wife washed and went to bed, and naturally there was a spring solstice flower color.
……
Talk about two ends.
Jiang Xinyao is depressed by the man's infinite energy, and Jiang Xinshan is worried about Zheng Liang's affection.
Since Jiang Xinshan took charge of the house, in order to take office as a new official, the fire burned more vigorously, and his mind was on the family, and the grandmother in the main room had enough money, and she opened her eyes to the three fox spirits in the room, closed her eyes, and sent the decoction of the child on time, and watched and drank it.
Zheng Liang is not confused in major matters, and he has a clear distinction between his concubines and concubines, and in ten days, there are always three or four days to rest in the big house, paying enough public food, just to give birth to an eldest son as soon as possible.
Jiang Xinshan has been married to the Zheng Mansion for more than half a year, and her stomach still has no movement at all, and the small days of the month are more punctual than the big pendulum clock in the house, which makes the husband and wife a little discouraged.
Jiang Xinshan complained in her heart that men didn't work hard, and they did things hastily every time; Zheng Liang also complained that women couldn't work hard, so he let him work alone.
A woman from a wealthy family has followed her elders to learn etiquette since she was a child, learn how to behave and do things, learn how to manage a family, learn how to get along with husband and wife, learn everything, and the only thing she doesn't learn is how to cater to men in bed.
Jiang Xinshan's biological mother, Zhou Xiuyue, although she knew this well, was grounded early. Sons, daughters, and marriages have nothing to do with her.
And Zheng Liang's three beautiful concubines, one is as light as a chrysanthemum, one is as delicate as fire, and the other is a stunner in the world.
In a place like Yiyuanyuan, women learn from an early age how to be amorous, how to refuse and welcome, and how to make men pay for money. To put it bluntly, a woman who regards serving a good man as her life's work is not comparable to a lady from an official eunuch like Jiang Xinshan.
This is also why the object of the concubine of the rich and noble is either the daughter of the concubine or the girl in the room, and the woman who comes out of the hook bar is rarely included in the door, which is the reason.
The man tasted the gluttonous meal, and then let him eat Laotan sauerkraut noodles, once or twice, but after a long time, he felt light and tasteless. Coupled with the purposeful husband and wife life, it is even more tasteless like chicken ribs, and it is a pity to abandon it.
How can a woman not know what a man is coping with? But who can you talk to about such a private matter? Although Jiang Xinshan was angry and anxious, her face was still peaceful.
Fortunately, my parents-in-law are not harsh people, and I have already had grandchildren and granddaughters, so I am not in a hurry. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Jiang Xinshan's life in the Zheng family will not be easy.
The things in the room made Jiang Xinshan anxious, and the status of the grandmother in charge made her taste a little sweet.
Zheng Liang is a son, his father Zheng Xu, and his mother Zhang have three sons and two daughters, three sons and two daughters. Zheng Liang also has two elder brothers, both of whom have married wives and had children, and they have been released as officials, accompanied by wives and children. The second daughter is also married. It's rare to go back to the house all year round.
Zheng Liang also has two uncles, aunts, and seven or eight cousins, all of whom are also living together. There can be Zheng sacrificial wine. Who dares to be presumptuous? Therefore, Jiang Xinshan's family is not too difficult, and ordinary cold guns and dark arrows can't hurt her.
More importantly, Jiang Xinshan knows very well who is the boss of the Zheng family, and with her ability to coax the old lady around, it is more than enough to coax the big boss.
In general, Jiang Xinshan has a good life for the Zheng family.
……
Jiang Xinyao threw the letter paper with Jiang Xinshan's every move into the brazier, and said to the man who was writing hard at the desk with a smile: "And let her live happily for a few more days." ”
Xiao Han put his arms around the woman and pressed them on his legs. smiled: "You four sisters, who is Yaoyao closer to?" ”
Since Xin Yao entered the man's study, the man felt that it was better to trick the woman into accompanying him than to fight alone in the study by the lamp. So it's what it is today.
Men work, women either read idle books. Either do needlework, and then practice calligraphy, the two often stop to talk and laugh, and there is a bit of a taste of raising eyebrows.
Jiang Xinyao said thoughtfully: "The eldest sister is much older than me, she is still in the countryside when she goes out." The second sister is a concubine and rarely speaks in the house. After getting married, there is no contact. After all, he has been with the third sister for the longest time, and the relationship with the second sister is deeper. ”
Xiao Han smiled awkwardly and said, "Our second brother-in-law's reputation in the capital is not very good, and he has almost disappeared over the years, and your second sister married such a person." I'm afraid that life will not be easy. ”
Xin Yao's expression was gloomy, and she said in a daze: "If you have a chance, help me inquire, the Sun family won't let her go out, and this time the eldest aunt didn't see her when she came to Beijing." I don't know if it's good or bad. ”
Xiao Han thought about it, stroked the woman's back and said: "The Sun family has always been close to the Middle Palace, and the third daughter of the Sun family entered the Han Palace, sealed the side concubine, and I heard that she is very favored." ”
Jiang Xinyao sighed: "The old lady has a good calculation, and the water spilled by the married daughter, no matter what happens, the Jiang family is unscathed." It's just that my second sister and I have become chess pieces, and when the time comes, we will give up. ”
"People who are old and refined can't even beat this little abacus, how can they be in charge? Yaoyao, you chess piece is something I can't ask for, don't worry, my woman is not so easy to become an outcast. ”
Jiang Xinyao said with a smile: "It's just that the strength is evenly matched just now, it's hard to say who wins and who loses, your short ten years of operation, how can you compare to other people's big roots and deep roots, those families are not easy to deal with." ”
Xiao Han picked up Xin Yao's slightly cold hand, covered it in his hand and rubbed it, and said half-truthfully: "So I have to save you back even if I do my best, and then marry you back with a dead face, with you, what am I afraid of?" Yaoyao, will you help me later? ”
Jiang Xinyao expected that the man would pull him into the study, and it was this thought that sooner or later he would have said this. She didn't squirm, and responded happily. She didn't want this hard-earned family business to fill the treasury in the end, the team had already stood still, what was the difference between the morning formation and the evening formation?
Jiang Xinyao got up, looked at the red plum in the beauty bottle on the small flat-headed case of the yellow rosewood flat-headed tenon with drawer board, and said with a smile: "There is a condition that has to be said in advance, I only give advice behind your back, and I don't care about the side." ”
Xiao Han said with relief: "Yaoyao, to be honest, I have long wanted you to help me, but I don't know how to speak." The second brother told me several times, but I didn't agree, I'm afraid that you will misunderstand me marrying you for the sake of ......"
Jiang Xinyao said "oops", and said with a bitter face: "Xiao Han, my uncle-in-law will be forty next month, and the old lady will be sixty years old in a few months, what will we send in our house on these two birthdays, you can help me get some ideas." The old lady's is easier to do, it's a big deal to pick a white jade Guanyin from the Jinjue Pavilion, and add some supplements, the uncle's is not easy to do! ”
Xiao Han only felt that his heart was warm, and all kinds of tastes welled up in his throat.
He secretly clenched his fist, suddenly let go, and said with a smile: "As long as you cook him a table of good dishes, add a pot of good wine, and make him happy, it's okay!" ”
Jiang Xinyao understood and said with a smile: "This method is good, I am responsible for choosing the dishes, Meizi is responsible for cooking, and you are responsible for accompanying the wine." Come on, let's do the math now. ”(..)
