Chapter 39: Who Rejoices (1)
、、、、、、、、、、
April 18, the time is approaching.
On this day, the Jade Mansion is prosperous and lively, after today, the Yu family will have one more young master, maybe it is nothing to outsiders, but for every person in the Yu family, this is a matter of long-term life.
Master Yu has no heir, Yu Xueling is a concubine, and it is impossible to get this huge family business in the future, and I heard that Master Yu has married off his only daughter, so the property of the Yu family is finally the little master's, so the people of the Yu family are both panicked and looking forward to the arrival of this little young master.
In the ancestral hall, Chu Jian stood silently in the corner, watching Madame Yu instruct those little servants to smoke and dye every corner of the ancestral hall with incense, as if it was a custom that had to be done for the sake of worship later.
At first sight, the eyes shifted to the center of the ancestral hall, where the portraits of the ancestors of the Yu family were hung, and there were animal sacrifices on the table of the vermilion pear wood eight immortals below, and there were almost a basket of red eggs.
In front of the table of the Eight Immortals, there is a large four-cornered small carved table with shellfish and grass, on which are placed the genealogy and the four treasures of the house.
Chujian covered her mouth and yawned, she has been suffering from severe sleep deprivation recently, and now she has to come to see Yu Yunsheng's boring successive worship ceremony, he wants a few things to do with him, what does it matter to her.
When I first saw him leaning against the wall, his eyes were tired and lazy and swept towards Yu Yunsheng, only to see that he was already smiling, holding the child who was about to become her younger brother in his hand, as if it was really his own child.
Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound from the bell tower, and the patriarch shouted, "The ceremony begins!" ”
The first time I saw was waved by Mrs. Yu, standing behind her, Master Yu and Mrs. Yu both sat on the chairs on both sides of the Eight Immortals table, there was a futon on the ground in front of them, the patriarch was reading on the side how to follow the relationship between the Yu family, and so on.
By the time the patriarch finished speaking, the little boy was already a little unable to kneel, and his ruddy little mouth was so flat that he couldn't be flattened anymore, and he kept looking at the first meeting with two bubbles of tears.
"Salute!" The patriarch shouted, and at first glance, she seemed to hear sobs coming from the side, and she turned her head to see that it was a couple dressed plainly, as if they were the biological parents of this little boy.
Seeing their own children become someone else's, what parent in the world is willing to do so? I really don't know what benefits Yu Yunsheng gave them, so he gave his son to him like this.
"New clothes and new names!" The patriarch glanced at the little boy, and the little boy who was already about to cry was startled, and looked at the first meeting even more aggrieved.
Wink at him at first sight and smile, bear with it, little one!
"From today onwards, my son's name is Heng!" Yu Yunsheng took up the pen and added an extra name to the genealogy of their room.
"This is a new garment from my mother." Madame Yu put a new set of red clothes embroidered with dark patterns of blessing characters into the little boy's hand, and smiled softly.
Constant...... Yu Heng, he is the future head of the Yu family, and Yu Yunsheng will be the baby from now on.
Chu Jian laughed at himself, and glanced at Yu Yunsheng lightly.
The patriarch asked Yu Heng to kowtow to Master Yu and Mrs. Yu, then took a glass of water, grabbed Yu Heng's small hand, and gently swiped the tip of his index finger with a sharp knife, squeezing out a few drops of blood.
As soon as Yu Heng was in pain, he cried out.
Aunt Comb, who was on the side of the "...... child," screamed distressedly, and wanted to rush over and hug the child, but was grabbed tightly by Uncle Shutang and did not allow her to get close to the child.
Mrs. Yu hurriedly went over and picked up the child, coaxing softly.
At first sight, I took pity on the child.
Over there, Yu Yunsheng also dripped his own blood into the cup, and after the patriarch took the white porcelain cup and bowed to heaven and earth, he let Yu Yunsheng take a small sip, and forced Yu Heng to swallow a mouthful, and then, he shouted, "Licheng!" ”
Master Yu smiled at the spring breeze, hugged the child from Mrs. Yu's arms, and smiled from ear to ear.
Mrs. Yu turned her head and looked at Chu Yu, "But it's boring?" ”
"Mother is pleased with this child?" When she first saw it, she could see that Madam Yu's smile was not very pure and sincere.
"What is the difference between I like it and I don't like it? Let's go back first, your father still needs to call the people of the clan. Madame Yu said softly to the first sight, according to the custom, after the ceremony, she should go home with the child in her arms, and the matter of greeting guests is a man's business.
"That'...... Do you want to take the child back? "When I first saw Mrs. Yu's arm, for some reason, she felt pity for that child, but she really couldn't treat him as a younger brother.
"Do you think your father is willing to let him go?" The corners of Mrs. Yu's mouth pursed a faint smile, her eyeliner raised, and she glanced at Master Yu.
Chu Ji laughed, "That's just his heart's baby." ”
Madam Jade turned her head, "Go back!" ”
After they said goodbye to Lord Yu and the patriarch, they went out of the ancestral hall, the carriage was already waiting at the door, Li Niang put down the pedal, and helped Mrs. Yu and Chujian to get into the carriage before she sat up.
The carriage turned slowly, and at first sight, the curtains were lifted, and the cheeks were stretched out, and Mrs. Yu was tired and leaned against the wall of the carriage, closing her eyes and pretending to sleep.
At first sight, I looked carefully at the upper linemen, most of them were brightly dressed, but they were all the same styles, and I couldn't tell which embroidery room came out, there seemed to be no sign, Ningcheng is a place where the country's kings and nobles gathered, and the noble lady Miss Qianjin is everywhere, what do women care about the most? If a piece of clothing is worn out and all over the street, isn't it depressing?
"Li Niang, how much silver will it cost to buy a shop in Ningcheng?" Chu Jian lowered his voice and asked Li Niang, not wanting to disturb Mrs. Yu.
"Then it depends on where it is, like the main street here is more expensive, a room is about five taels, and the south side is cheaper." Li Niang replied in a low voice.
"That'...... How much does it cost to hire a showgirl here? Hatsumi pondered for a moment, then asked in a low voice.
"It depends on the craftsmanship of the Xiu Niang hired." Li Niang replied.
"What if it's a Xiu Niang like Aunt Ming?" Hatsumi thought about it for a moment and asked again.
"That year, I also had at least fifty taels of wages, not counting the holiday subsidies I usually give." Li Niang said.
When I first saw Xiu's eyebrows, this money is actually not a big problem, but how to find a shop and how to find a good show girl is a problem!
"Second girl, what are you doing with these questions?" Li Niang looked at Hatsumi and seemed to be worried about something, and immediately sat down next to Hatsumi and asked her in a low voice.
"It's okay, just ask." When I first saw him, he smiled, but he thought in his heart that if she wanted to implement the idea in her heart, she had to prepare a lot of things, the first thing to think about was how to get a large sum of money, this matter could not be told to her mother for the time being, maybe she would stop it when the time came, her mother had been educated in feudal society since she was a child, and no matter how much she loved her daughter, she would not agree to let her do this.
"Most of the shops in good locations on the main street were bought by your uncle and have been renting them to others for business." When the car passed through the main street, Mrs. Yu suddenly opened her eyes and said lightly.
"Ah, Mother, did you make a noise?" When she first saw her turn around, she saw that Mrs. Yu was looking at her with a smile, she was taken aback, could it be that her mother saw something coming?
"It's okay," Madame Jade said with a smile.
"Mother, what does my uncle do when he buys a shop? He's not a businessman. Hatsumi asked suspiciously.
"Silly boy! Is it a businessman who can buy a shop and rent it to others? Lady Jade smiled.
Hatsumi rubbed his hair, "Then do we have a shop at home?" ”
"Most of our family is buying yard land in the suburbs for production, and my wife takes good care of it, and it makes a profit every year!" Li Niang replied on the side, as if she had some pride in being proud of Lady Yu.
Hatsumi nodded, "I see." ”
Mrs. Yu smiled lightly, the sound of the car tossed and turned, and soon they returned to the Jade Mansion.
When I first saw Mrs. Yu walking in from the two vermilion lacquer gates in the backyard, Mrs. Yu looked at the clear blue sky and sighed, "The weather is sunny today." ”
"The weather is better to sleep these days, mother, you have to pay more attention to yourself, you have been busy these days, you haven't had a good rest, and in a few days you will encounter the Dragon Boat Festival, you will be busy again." Chumi looked at Madame Yu worriedly and felt that she was really hard.
"You seem to be in a good mood today, what's wrong? Don't worry about marrying in Palmetto anymore? Madame Jade asked with a smile.
"I'm worried, but what's the use of worrying? I'm not going to get married anyway. "She has worked hard to arrange for herself, even if she has to marry at that time, she will run away.
Mrs. Yu chuckled, she didn't tell Chu Jian the news from Qi Yin, because she was afraid that others would see the clues, but she didn't expect that Chu Jian would want to open it.
"Mother, it's enough for me to have Lingyu by my side, why do you still ask Ziyao to help me?" Zi Yao was an older girl than Lingyu, about twenty-two years old, and she was born delicate, but she looked shrewd, and a little cold, and didn't like to talk much.
"That's it for today, in the future, you go out and take Ziyao and Lingyu, many people will take care of you, and your mother will be more relieved." Zi Yao is the Yahuan sent by Qi Yin the day before yesterday, and she is the family of Zhongwangfu.
At first sight, they wanted to object, but remembering that day she had fallen into the water, her mother was so frightened that she agreed, and was about to open her mouth to propose that her mother go back to rest earlier, when they heard a coquettish and sharp voice in front of them.
"Madam, you have been really lucky recently, and you are going to marry your daughter at that time, and you have received another one, so you really don't have to worry about it in the future." The people who came were naturally Aunt Chen, who was smiling extremely coquettishly and proudly, and Yu Xueling, who looked sarcastic at first sight.
"Today is indeed blessed, Hengsheng is delicate and lovely, smart and intelligent, with such a child, the lord and I are very happy." Mrs. Yu looked at Aunt Chen and smiled lightly.
Aunt Chen's smile was sluggish, and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes, "That's really congratulations to Mrs. and Master, I helped the second girl find a good family again, and there is one more, but it's a pity that our Xue Ling has not been married so far, it's really ......."
"Aunt Chen doesn't have to be sentimental, I have always treated the eldest girl as a daughter, and when she marries in the future, she will definitely be beautiful." Madame Jade's red lips smiled, as bright as a blooming rose.
Chen Zhenhui's smile was even more flamboyant, "Then thank you, madam." ”
"No, you can visit the garden, we should go back." After Mrs. Yu finished speaking, she had already turned around and walked towards Xiuhe Courtyard, and when she saw it, she deliberately ignored Yu Xueling's arrogant eyes and followed Mrs. Yu out of here.
