Chapter 418: Wen Mianmian persuaded her uncle
Fu Rou quietly listened to Wen Mianmian tell her about Jiangnan, covering her mouth and chuckling from time to time, she was very happy to learn that Fu Li was coming back in a month, and when she saw that there was no one left and right, she said a little shyly, "Mianmian, I'm going to get married." ”
Wen Mianmian instantly became interested, you must know that since her uncle's family returned to Beijing last year, she has been choosing a son-in-law for her cousin, and most of the noble daughters of the Kyoto Gaomen family have to spend two years of hard work to look at it slowly, she thought that she would be optimistic about it for a few months.
"Have you already chosen so quickly, which family's son is it?"
Fu Rou's face was shy, "It's the eldest son of the Xu family." ”
Then he whispered to Wen Mianmian about the situation of the Xu family, although the Xu family is not a hairpin family, the ancestors have also been wide, the current head of the family, Lord Xu, has a son and a daughter in the house, and the entire family of the Xu family is also flourishing, and there are not many sons and daughters in the family.
That Xu Gongzi is seventeen this year, and he follows his father in office all the year round, and he returned to Beijing at the beginning of the year to prepare for the scientific examination, and he studied at Rende College, which is Fu Qian's classmate.
"The eldest brother said that Xu Gongzi is a good person, has a good character, and went to write a letter with his father, and his father came back to read it when he was resting, and he also said that he was okay, and now he is waiting for his father to return home next time, and the two families officially exchanged Geng posts."
Fu Youxian took office in Ryutsu, the closest place to Kyoto, and it took five or six hours for the carriage to travel, and it would come back once every three months.
Wen Mianmian understood, this is the eldest cousin to Xiangzhong, the two families can be regarded as having comparable family backgrounds, the Xu family has a thicker background, and the Fu family has noble in-laws, which also complement each other.
When it comes to such a family, most of the children's affairs are based on interests, but...
"Has my cousin seen that Xu Gongzi?"
Fu Rou nodded, "The eldest brother once took him back to borrow a book and said two words." ”
Wen Mianmian's eyes had the light of gossip, "Don't be the cousin that Xu Gongzi fell in love with first, ask someone to say kiss, right?" Tell me how Xu Gongzi looks, is he good-looking? ”
Fu Rou's face was blushing, she was rightly said by Wen Mianmian, although she acquiesced in this matter, she didn't have the courage to say that Xu Gongzi's appearance, and she held back for a while before she spit out two words, "Very good." ”
Wen Mianmian leaned over, the two muttered for a while, and the sound of laughter sounded in the pavilion from time to time, and she didn't know what Wen Mianmian said, but it made Fu Rou blush.
At noon, at the dinner at Fu's family, Fu Qian and Mrs. Fu chatted for a while, and the melancholy between his eyebrows was replaced by joy.
It turned out that the second child was not successful, she was worried about the second child all the time, and she didn't care enough about the boss; Now the second child is worried about the future of the boss, just hoping that the boss will get better, worrying about this and that all day long, but she didn't expect that her worry would also make her son feel uneasy, and even ruin the friendship between brothers.
Thinking about it, I laughed again, and secretly sighed that I was not capable enough, how did people worry about giving birth to five or six?
After the meal, they sat together and drank tea, and saw that the girl had been smiling and listening to the girl, Mrs. Fu felt a little sour in her heart, worried that today's action would hurt her daughter's heart, and she couldn't help but think of the red cloth again.
The girl is about to get married, and she should think about using the red cloth to make clothes for her daughter as soon as possible.
Wen Mianmian saw that she was sad again, and sounded what Fu Rou said to her earlier, and said with a smile, "When I went to Jiangnan, I got a notebook, saying that there was a woman who gave birth to two sons, the eldest son sold umbrellas, and the younger son sold shoes. ”
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Fu's eyes looked at her, and then nodded very approvingly, "Mothers are not just worried about their children, always looking forward to this or that, it really fulfills the old saying, a child lives a hundred years old, and often worries about ninety-nine." ”
Fu Qian guessed that Wen Mianmian must not have said this for no reason, so he asked, "Is the old woman getting better?" ”
Wen Mianmian continued: "The two sons are filial, they don't do business, they serve in front of the bed all day, seeing this old woman thinking that this is good, the two sons' transactions have been delayed for her, and she blames herself and is sad, and the illness is getting worse and worse." ”
Mrs. Fu sighed, she understood the old woman very well.
I heard Wen Mianmian say again: "The neighbor came to visit, and when he learned the reason, he persuaded him: Think about it, your eldest son's umbrella will definitely be easy to sell on a rainy day, and your son's cloth shoes will also be easy to sell on a sunny day. ”
The old woman thought about it, and her heart suddenly brightened, and the two sons couldn't cry or laugh when they learned that there were more reasons, and it turned out that some people bought umbrellas to shade the sun on sunny days, and there were also people who bought shoes on rainy days, and the woman's heart was relaxed, and soon the illness was cured.
Mrs. Fu was a little surprised, and she understood the reason why she said this, and spit out a mouthful of turbid breath and laughed, "Your uncle always says that this is what he means." ”
After talking for a while, Wen Mianmian left, Fu Qian also wanted to go back to the academy, so Wen Mianmian proposed to send him there, and he would stop by the way.
Fu Qian in the car said with a smile: "Your book is not bad, borrow it from me when you go back." ”
Wen Mianmian laughed with a 'poof', "I made it up now, I thought that my aunt's heart was crooked after not seeing me for many days, but I didn't expect it to be crooked, either crooked this or crooked that." ”
Fu Qian couldn't cry or laugh, "My father has always been busy, and my mother has pulled us to grow up, maybe that's how a mother is, I always think that my children are as good." ”
"I will be out in March of the following year, and my mother is even more anxious every day."
As he spoke, he looked at Wen Mianmian very formally, "Cousin, I plan not to go to the academy in the last month, can I go to the newspaper to help for a month, go to the actual edition, I have paid attention to every issue of the newspaper, and the facts board about the various decrees of the imperial court are all in simple terms, very reasonable, I want to learn, it will help me write a strategy." ”
He spoke in person, and Wen Mianmian had no reason not to agree, "It just so happens that the last month is very busy, so it's okay for you to help." ”
The carriage stopped at Rende College, and when the curtain was lifted, I saw many people standing at the gate of the college, and when I saw it, it turned out to be the Shangshu Gu Qili of the Ministry of Rites and the dean of the academy and others, and everyone hurried to salute when they saw her getting off, "What a coincidence, the lower official happened to have something to discuss with the princess." ”
Seeing this, the academy gave up its hand, and Gu Qili gave up his hand, "Princess, as soon as the Dongshu Good Items Appraisal Conference opens, merchants from all over the world are pouring into Kyoto, and all the inns are full, I wonder when these people will be able to leave Beijing?" ”
Wen Mianmian raised her eyebrows, not understanding for a while, "What does Master Gu mean?" ”
