Second Mrs. Jia was even more surprised, because she didn't know about it yet, and she was slightly annoyed.

She thought that she had reached a consensus with the Li family, and they both intended to match this marriage.

But what does it mean that the Li family suddenly sent their children on a study tour?

Master Xing didn't see his sister's face, and continued: "I heard that the Li family has a small fleet that often transports seafood to and from Quanzhou.

"The children of the Li family work as shipwrights in their own fleet, and they have to work all the way, and Li Jiaren and one of his younger brothers are both talented, and that is no exception. Before, the other boys in their family had also been there.

"This is really rare and admirable! You must know that many scholars today can't take care of themselves except for reading, which is shameful. ”

These words made Second Mrs. Jia immediately change her mind, it turned out that the Li family did not regret it, but the children in the family arranged it like this.

If you come back after the year, it won't be bad for so many months......

She thought about it for a while and said, "Since the eldest brother thinks it's good, then I'll find an opportunity to go to Li's house again in the next few days and ask about the divine doctor."

"When the time comes, I will accompany my sister-in-law and take Wan'er to the consultation, and let my sister-in-law and Wan'er take the opportunity to see how the Li family is?"

Master Xing groaned for a while, then nodded.

"Okay, our family doesn't expect Wan'er to marry into a wealthy family, we just want the other party's family to be harmonious and treat our children well, you are an aunt, bother more."

"What did the eldest brother say! Wan'er is the same as my daughter, of course I have to do my best to her family. ”

Second Mrs. Jia glared at her brother in disgust, and instructed her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, you have to take care of it, if the family affair is completed, you will have to give Wan'er Zhang Luo a dowry." ”

Mrs. Xing nodded again and again, and responded: "Okay, Wan'er can marry a good family, and I am also relieved." ”

After sitting for a while, Second Mrs. Jia hurried home.

She is the head of the house, and she has a large family to take care of.

Xing Wan'er saw her father go to the study in front of her, so she entered her mother's room and fed her mother ginseng soup.

Mrs. Xing took her daughter's hand, looked at her daughter carefully, and couldn't help but redden, "My daughter has also grown up, and I still remember when you were born, you were a little girl, and you were going to say kiss in a blink of an eye." ”

"Mother, I'm not married, I'll take care of you at home!" Xing Wan'er blushed and said the lie that all the girls had said.

Mrs. Xing was funny, and she didn't take it seriously, and asked: "Tell your mother, that day, in front of the dim sum shop, I was bumped into by that kid from the Li family, can you see how he looks?" ”

Xing Wan'er's face turned even redder, and her voice became lower and lower, "Mother, I didn't dare to look closely, it's just ...... He had a gentle voice and was very polite, and it was obviously the driver's fault, but he took the initiative to make amends to me. ”

As she said this, she seemed to be caught up in her memories, and she spoke more smoothly.

"He was tall, but not burly or thin, and he wore a long gown, neither ostentatious nor shabby. Moreover, he loved his sister, the Lord of Corning. The reason why he was in such a hurry was that he heard that his sister was injured and was anxious......"

Mrs. Xing nodded when she heard this, and her face became even better, "If what you said is true, then this kid is really good."

"Read well, be gentle and polite, at least you won't do anything to your wife; It's better to love your little sister, and if you have a child in the future, he will definitely love it......"

"Mother, where did you go, you didn't have a word for it, it's better to treat you first!" Xing Wan'er was so ashamed that she got up and ran away under the pretext of boiling medicine.

In the courtyard of the Li family, Mrs. Li was sitting with needlework, and she was also chatting with Mrs. Wen and Hui Niang, "Why is there no news from the Jia family?" Jiaren went out, otherwise let Mr. Wen take it, and under the pretext of asking for advice, he could also come to the door to see. ”

"Auntie, the matter of marriage is not in a hurry. To tell the truth, if that Wan'er girl is destined to be Jiaren's daughter-in-law, not to mention Jiaren's trip to Quanzhou and a delay of two months, even two years, she can't run. Mrs. Wen smiled and comforted.

Hui Niang pinched the needle and scratched it on her scalp, and then continued to take the soles of her shoes, "Yes, auntie, you see me and Brother Dayong, the Yan family is so opposed, and finally they got married, and the two children are so old." The fate of a good marriage will definitely not be able to run. ”

Mrs. Li couldn't help laughing, "You two, this is taking turns to give me reassurance!" ”

At this time, Jiayin brought Mama He, Shui Ling and Shui Yun in from outside, and carried a handful of large and small packages.

"Grandma, the Hou Mansion has made the winter clothes and sent them here!" Jiayin hugged her grandmother's arm in the past and smiled to invite credit, "I also added a long jacket and a cloak to my grandmother, and when my grandmother went to play with the old lady of the Jia family, she wore them just right." ”

"Silly girl, grandma's clothes are all in a cabinet, why do you still make new ones?" Mrs. Li complained in her mouth, but her face blossomed because of her granddaughter's filial piety.

Hui Niang and Mrs. Wen both stopped the needlework and helped open the package.

Uncle Zhao in the backyard, Doctor Zhang, Mr. Jiang and scholar Gu Li in the school, and even the village elders all have a share.

These winter coats are made of muslin and new cotton, without any embroidery, and the style is simple but warm, as are the matching cotton shoes.

Everyone looked at it briefly, and Mrs. Wen praised, "The needlework lady of the Hou Mansion is really powerful, the craftsmanship is really good, and the stitches are fine and smooth." ”

"Yes," Hui Niang also said, "There is room for the cuffs and trouser legs, and if the size is not suitable, you can put out a piece." ”

Mrs. Li also fiddled with her two pieces, the more she looked at them, the more she liked them, and instructed her granddaughter, "In addition to supplementing the silver of these needlework girls, remember to put some snacks on the side of the shop and thank them well." ”

"Grandma, I have already ordered to go down, and at this time, the silver reward and snacks have been sent to the Hou Mansion." Jiayin patted his chest proudly, "Your granddaughter's errands, the custody is not bad!" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard it, and Mrs. Li even hugged her granddaughter and kissed her, "My family Fu Niu'er has grown up, and she can be a director of the family." ”

Hui Niang thought of Ercun and asked, "Over there in Ercun, the jackets and pants of the wounded soldiers and veterans, don't you know if they are done?" ”

There are more than 100 wounded soldiers and veterans in the second village, and they have been measured and entrusted to the relief department.

The coarse cloth and cotton were all from the Hou Mansion and sent to the Relief Bureau, which was also to find some work for the old and weak over there and earn some wages.

Wounded soldiers and veterans now receive a monthly salary, enough to support themselves, and there is still a lot of surplus.

They originally insisted on paying their own money to make winter clothes, but Hou Ye said that in the first year, he would make up for it, and in the future, let them pay for it themselves.

Of course, if they marry a daughter-in-law in the future, they don't have to bother, and naturally they have a daughter-in-law......

As a result, the wounded soldiers and veterans are now working harder and harder, planning to marry their daughters-in-law sooner.

Mrs. Li said, "Then the second child will come back tonight, and I will ask." It is estimated that it will only be these two days, and seeing that it is winter and the moon is falling soon, it is time to wear thick jackets and pants. ”

While everyone was talking, Li Lao Er actually came over from the front yard, with a face full of joy......
