"The core event of our family this year is to marry a daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law?"

In the evening, Cheng Xiaosi, who had been busy all day, ate her shortbread beautifully, "Who is the Tu family?" ”

Cheng Sanniang said that the Tu family and the Qin family are almost the same, they were all arrogant before, and then they were defeated, and they belong to the type where the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.

"How is the Tu girl?"

"Maybe it's really good."

Cheng Sanniang said, "My mother and my father have sent someone to inquire on the side, you know, my brother is the eldest grandson of our house, his wife must choose carefully, many uncles of merchant families have mentioned their daughters before, my father feels that it is not much help to the family, and wants to say an official girl." ”

"But how high the vision of the official girl is, it is easy to marry an arrogant person back, choose and choose, I think the Tu family is suitable, and she is an official girl, literate and hyphenated, and has the ability to run the family, and the family is also gone, naturally there is no arrogance of the family, and we can put down our body, and for the Tu family, our family is also the best choice, I think this family can be successful."

Cheng Xiaosi, who was chewing shortbread, once again witnessed the criteria for selecting daughters-in-law in this era, the beauty and ugliness of a person are secondary, first the family, and then their own ability, which brings something to the husband's family.

Sure enough, it is not easy for this woman no matter which dynasty she is in, she has to be an all-rounder, she must be filial to her in-laws, help her husband below, take care of her children in the middle, fight the big and small affairs of the two families, and even personally come forward to help her husband seek a future, which feels more difficult than modern times.

"Like me, it's not the choice of the eldest son and grandson, I can only choose the second son who is not demanding in itself, and is raised by his father and mother at home, and raised by his husband's family when he gets married, hey."

Cheng Sanniang wiped the shortbread crumbs from the corners of her mouth for her, "Be content, what a good day." ”

"The girl's family, the more capable she is, the harder she is, you see the second sister, she has only been married to the Niu family for a few days, and her mother-in-law and sister-in-law can't wait to give her the power of the family, it sounds good, but it's really tiring to work."

"Fortunately, I married a capable man, otherwise what would I do?"

Cheng Xiaosi told her, "Look at the female dependents of all families in the capital, fighting openly and secretly for the right of a housekeeper, I don't know how many people are still envious of my sister." ”

Cheng Sanniang said the truth, "It's not that I don't have enough money in my hands to worry about the family, only if I have enough money in my hands, who is willing to go to the housekeeper, it's a thankless task." ”

Cheng Xiaosi felt that what he said made sense, and began to discuss the housekeeper about his meager experience, and the two felt that what they said was not enjoyable and pulled Mama Fang to join the discussion.

Mama Fang told them that the wife of the housekeeper secretly moved the money, and her mother's family was not discovered, and the whole mother's family was faceless; Who's housekeeper's wife is not good at housekeeping and has a deficit, and she uses her dowry to make up for it, and she is put on a scene by her own mother, and she talks about several situations before stopping, saying that the housekeeper matter, "It depends on the situation, if the family is not lenient, then this matter is a hot potato." ”

Cheng Sanniang immediately thought of the Jiang family, and when she heard her worried, Mama Fang said, "It is rumored that the Jiang family is just not rich in money, but there are many valuable objects, especially the most solitary books, which are very spectacular when they dry books every year, and there are a lot of pen and ink calligraphy and paintings in the collection, as long as the three girls can persuade the Jiang family to take some shots, this day will not be too difficult." ”

Cheng Xiaosi thinks that the family is a reader from top to bottom, and the reader must like a single book of calligraphy and painting, these things are not cheap, if you have money, you can buy them, but aren't you poor?

But those things may have appreciated in value.

Cheng Sanniang pondered it and felt that it was possible to do this, but this matter had to pay attention to a way and method.

"Oh, I haven't decided to marry yet, what am I worried about this?"

"Isn't the current situation just a nod from you, if you want to say that this scholar is still different from a military general, how diligent General Erniu was when he came to our house, the eldest son of the Jiang family let Mrs. Yuan convey everything on his behalf."

Cheng Xiaosi's words were easy to cause misunderstanding, and Mama Fang immediately made up for it, "In the end, the military generals should be more free and easy, and the eldest prince Jiang should be more rigorous, and the family affairs have not yet been decided, if you rashly communicate with the girl's family, it is easy to ruin the reputation of other girls." ”

"It's different."

The sisters both expressed their understanding, and began to ask Mama Fang what it was better to send to each family, which families had any taboos, and so on.

At the beginning of April, the streets are full of brightly colored girls, and even the less generous ones will put a beautiful little flower on their heads, just to live up to the warm spring sun above their heads.

From time to time, kites of different shapes rise with the wind in the sky, attracting many people to stop and watch.

On this day, the spring is just right, Mrs. Yuan and accompanied Mrs. Jiang to the gate of Shunyi Bofu with generous gifts, the Jiang family officially set the marriage with the Cheng family, and the two families also set the marriage date at the same time, in the winter of the same year, although they can't marry two girls in a year, but Cheng Erniang and Cheng Sanniang are cousins, not the same father and mother, and it does not affect her to marry at the end of the year.

As soon as this decision came out, Mrs. Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that the Cheng family would use the fact that she could not marry two daughters in a year as an excuse, otherwise she would have to wait another year before she could marry her daughter-in-law.

Qin sighed with emotion that several major events were done in a year, and Mrs. Cheng said with a smile, "Among these grandchildren in the family, most of them were born in those years, and it is normal for this big joy to be together." ”

"Didn't we join the family before marrying three daughters-in-law on the same day?"

"Age waits for no one."

Qin's sighed very emotionally, and when he thought that his daughter was about to get married, his heart was sour and uncomfortable, and he continued to get busy after the discomfort.

"Girl, the fifth prince is here to ask you to fly a kite."

Huahua trotted over, "The fifth prince just came, go and say hello to the old lady, the old lady asked you to prepare, saying that you are tired these days, go and have a good day." ”

Since that yen Su asked Cheng Daqi to have wine, the two ate until midnight, and I don't know what they said, since that day Cheng Daqi's attitude towards Yuan Su has changed, and he didn't give him a face when he went to Cheng's house, and he also acquiesced to him asking Cheng Xiaosi to go out.

"So, what the hell did you tell my dad?"

In the carriage, Cheng Xiaosi was very curious, "Last night, my father praised you for the first time, saying that you are not visible, and you have a plan in your heart." ”

Yuan Sule was happy, "Father-in-law really said that?" ”

"So I ask you, what did you say to my father?"

"It's nothing, it's just that my father-in-law suddenly looked at me pleasing to the eye."

He just analyzed the situation for his father-in-law, analyzed the current situation of the Cheng family, and proposed two ways to protect the Cheng family.

"My father-in-law thinks I'm a reliable person." (End of chapter)
