Chapter 659: Xia Yu (II)

Xu Sizhen and Sister Jiuxiao of the Jiang family have been talking about their marriage for so many years, whether it is the Xu family or the Jiang family, they have already prepared in their hearts. The accompanying room prepared by the Jiang family for Sister Jiuxiao, and Yuan Baozhu's family did not even return to Le'an after giving the New Year's gift.

“…… said that she was helping Mrs. Jiang prepare for the marriage of Sister Jiuxiao of the Jiang family. The Jiang family warmly and ceremoniously received Huang San Nainai, and Huang San Nainai felt that since the two families were very sincere, then the next thing would definitely go well. She sat side by side with Eleven Niang on the big kang by the window, drinking the fragrant West Lake Longjing, "Listening to Mrs. Jiang's tone, Prince Shilang of the Ministry of Rites believes that Lord Wang and Mr. Jiang are close friends, and the Jiang family wants to invite Lord Wang to be a matchmaker." ”

Eleven Niang pushed the xiao plate containing the elm money cake in front of Huang San Nainai: "Then the marriage of our son has Sister Lao." ”

"Rest assured, rest assured." Huang San nainai tasted a bite of the elm money cake, "Oh, it is also added with elm money, why is this cake so fragrant!" We can't make it taste like this at home. ”

"Sister likes it, I'll let people make some more and you can take it back." Eleven Niang called Amber in, asked her to order the kitchen to be freshly cooked, and then turned around and talked to Huang San Nainai, "Then sister, who should we ask to be a matchmaker?" ”

This sentence is skillfully asked.

Huang San Nainai is a capable person, and is familiar with the etiquette of red and white ceremonies, with the Jiao affection of the Xu and Huang families, Xu Si is married, and it is most suitable to ask her to help negotiate the dowry. But since Huang San Nainai was invited to help discuss marriage, and when he got married, he invited a matchmaker, so it was not good to leave Huang San Nainai's husband Yongchang Hou Shizi aside. But Xu Sizhen is also the son of the world, and it is a little inappropriate to let Huang San's husband be a matchmaker - the identity of the prince of Yongchang Hou is even lower. But if you don't ask Huang San Nainai to help Xu Sizhen say goodbye, Huang San Nainai knows, but I'm afraid that I still have some ideas in my heart.

Fortunately, Huang San Nainai is a transparent person, and she understands the truth when she thinks about it.

"I mention someone, I don't know what my sister thinks?" She smiled, "What do you think of the Weibei Hou next door?" Both of you are in-laws, and he is an elder. Although he is only a new Hou Ye, the Jiang family only invited a shìlang to be a matchmaker. I couldn't think it could be better! ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help nodding slightly when she heard this.

When she and Xu Lingyi talked about it last night, Xu Lingyi also mentioned Weibeihou.

"It's still my sister's thoughtfulness." She smiled, "Master Hou and I are having a headache about this matter." As she spoke, she took Huang Sannainai's arm, "Since my sister is here, don't be busy going back." Why don't you come with me to see the new house for Brother Zhen'er? If there is something I haven't considered, my sister will also help me wake up. Don't make me laugh. ”

Xu Sizhen is a high-ranking son, and marriage has its own set of rules. It's not as good as marrying a sister and marrying a daughter-in-law to Xu Si, just follow the folk customs.

Huang San Nainai was originally a warm-hearted person, and when he heard Eleven Niang say this, he followed Eleven Niang out of the main house with a smile: "You don't say that I want to come and have a good time, not to mention that you are open now!" It's just that don't dislike me when the time comes. ”

The two talked and laughed from the back mén out of the main courtyard, facing the former mén of the former residence of Yuan Niang.

Yuan Niang's former residence is open in all directions, and the maid and daughter-in-law either carried the cage, or held a few flowers, or empty-handed, although the river is endless, and everyone is in a hurry, but it is out of the left side of the mén, and the right side of the mén is entered, and the arrangement is orderly.

Huang San Nainai couldn't help but nod secretly.

It seems that Eleven Niang is ready to give Yuan Niang's former residence to Xu Sizhen to make a new house. As a result, the house had to be renovated. Some of the traces left by Yuan Niang in the past can be wiped clean, and no one will gossip - you can't let the dead dominate the position of the living, right? What's more, this newcomer is Yuan Niang's own bone rou!

"There's a lot of stuff left over from my eldest sister's side." Eleven Niang and Huang Si Nainai slowly entered the mén, and the maid and daughter-in-law stood aside to make way for them when they saw the distance, "I asked them to pack up their things first, and then move in when the craftsmen come in and repair them." ”

"That's how it should be." Huang San Nainai smiled, "Who knows where those craftsmen came from?" If someone with unclean hands and feet goes out with something, even if he chases it back, thinking that he will be killed by those pickled things, it will be killed, and he will feel uncomfortable......" he said, looking at the room.

The curtain and other things in the main courtyard of the hall and the second entrance were put away, and the dangdang was empty, only in the hall of the three entrances where Yuan Niang originally lived stood a young fù, and a mother-in-law was there directing the maid and daughter-in-law to move things.

Seeing them come in, the two hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Huang San Nainai looked at the two of them and couldn't help but say, "This is ......"

Eleven Niang smiled and pointed at the young man: "Sister doesn't know me, this is Wei Zi next to Mrs. Tai!" He pointed to another older one, "This is my sister-in-law's companion Fang Hang's mother." He added, "There are not enough people in the family, so I invited these two to help me count my eldest sister's things." ”

That's fine.

Lest someone say something is lost or replaced!

Huang San Nainai nodded with a smile, and continued to go into the fourth with Eleven Niang: "Your sister-in-law is from Yuhang?" ”

"Not yet!" Eleven Niang said with a smile, "I said that I would leave when my brother's wedding date was set." In my heart, I thought about the fifth aunt and Luo Zhenhong, who I had only seen in infancy - listening to Luo Zhensheng's tone, they would all come to Yanjing together at that time.

When Shi Niang and Huang San Nainai were talking, Xu Sizhen was wiping his eyes with Tao Cheng, who was kneeling in front of him.

"Steward Tao is really, every time he sees our fourth young master, he will make our fourth young master cry." Wang Shu handed Xu Sizhen a handkerchief, and at the same time blamed Tao Cheng half-truthfully.

Tao Cheng hurriedly raised his head and put on a smile that was more ugly than crying: "It's all Xiao's bad, it's all Xiao's bad." It's sad to make the prince sad. As he spoke, he got up and saluted Wang Shu, "What the brothers of the Wang family said is that I will never do it again in the future!" ”

Xu Sizhen looked a little uneasy, and hurriedly said: "Mother Tao is my mother's rǔ mother." You are like my brother. Wang Shu, don't be so unreasonable to Tao Guan. ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Tao Cheng saluted Xu Si in a panic.

Wang Shu was rewarded by the Hou Ye, and in the past few years, he has won Xu Sizhen's trust, of course, he is not afraid of Tao Cheng, the former wife who is in charge of the grange, to accompany him. But what should be done does not dare to be the slightest slack.

"The fourth young master taught a lesson. I won't dare again! He stepped forward uneasily and saluted Tao Cheng, "Steward Tao, I hope that you are in a large number, don't be like me!" ”

He bit the word "xiao" heavily, implying Tao Cheng, don't think that the fourth young master said that you are his brother, you really think that you are the brother of the fourth young master. As long as I say this to Mrs. Tai or Master Hou, you can wait until you can't eat and go around!

Tao Cheng couldn't hear it.

This Wang Shu, xiaoxiao, is not good at his age, but he is afraid that his ambition will not be xiao. It's just that he is the steward of a grange, and he usually doesn't see the prince at all, but he just relies on the kindness of the past to let the prince take a look at it. If he offends Wang Shu, who has been serving by the side of the prince all the year round, he will wear xiao shoes and water drops in front of the prince every day, but I am afraid that even the old kindness will not be able to be kept.

Although there was a fire burning in his heart, he still endured it.

"Look at what the Wang brothers said. I'm just a few years older than you......"

Xu Sichen saw that they were politely coming and going here, so he couldn't help but smile and waved his hand: "Okay, don't come and go there." He instructed Wang Shu, "Go and weigh a hundred taels of silver for the Tao steward." Then he said to Tao Chengdao, "You help me buy some paper money incense to go to Tao's mother's grave, and tell her that I'm going to get married...... Tell her not to worry......" she said, her face suddenly flushed.

So much?

Wang Shu glanced at Tao Cheng.

This guy cries every time he comes, and then the prince gives him a large sum of silver. Who knows what he did with the money?

Thinking so in his heart, he didn't dare to show a single inch on his face, and bowed respectfully and retreated.

"Lord Shizi, don't have so much!" Tao Cheng hurriedly said, "I heard the news that the prince was going to get married, so I went to my mother's grave to pray that day......"

"Others say that you have to buy paper money with your own money for this kind of thing." Xu Si said sincerely, "It's not good for me to leave the house. You're going to do it for me! ”

As he was talking, the autumn rain beside Eleven Niang came.

"Fourth young master, the fourth lady asked the slave and maid to come over and ask. Are you not available after three days? ”

Xu Si hurriedly stood up and said, "Please also ask Sister Qiuyu to reply to her mother." I just listened to my mother's orders! ”

Qiu Yu smiled and left.

Tao Cheng can't help but see 1ù sleepy huo road.

Xu Sizhen explained: "Mother said that I am about to get married, and three days later, I will invite my uncle to come over, and together with Manager Bai and Manager Lu, I will sort out the things left by my mother and give them to me officially." As he spoke, he smiled wryly, "Actually, my mother and Steward Lu have been in charge of it all these years, and I have listened to the amount reported to me by Steward Lu, except for a few years when the harvest of the Grange is not good, the other years have been good." I thought Jiao gave me maybe my mother didn't manage it well, so I asked my mother to continue to help me manage it, but my mother didn't agree. Say I'm going to learn to manage these things when I'm older......" he said, smiling a little embarrassedly.

That Eleven Niang, is it really so good?

Tao Cheng was very suspicious, and couldn't help but say: "You will be the Marquis of Yongping in the future, and the little property of the first lady is naturally not in your eyes." But that is the love of the first lady for you, you must not live up to the first lady's kindness! ”

Only when Xu Lingyi is dead, Xu Sizhen can be the Marquis of Yongping.

My father is alive and well, Tao Cheng said this, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

"I'm just the prince of Yongping now." Xu Sichen frowned slightly, and corrected Tao Cheng, "In the future, you must not say anything like I am the Marquis of Yongping." ”

Tao Cheng secretly screamed badly, and accompanied Xiao Xin for a long time with low eyebrows, until Wang Shu came in with the silver, Xu Sichen didn't want to splash Tao Cheng's face, so he was slightly embarrassed and served tea.
