108. And the banquet, He's double

The Shen family rushed to the imperial capital in a lively manner, and the family members left. Shen was inevitably sad for several days. However, now her husband and wife are in love, and she has both children. Her family business is not rich, and she has a small surplus, so she has no worries about food and drink. Moreover, her brothers went to the imperial capital to be officials, and she had a bright future. Looking at Bishui County, the Shen family is now one of the best families.

Thinking of this, Shen became happy again.

The main reason is that life is going smoothly, there is really nothing to be sad about.

Shen cheered up and prepared the third girl's banquet. The small place was not particular, so he just put a few tables of wine on the chicken, fish, and elbow meat on his birthday, and invited the relatives of his clan to have a meal. It would be a lively day.

This is true for ordinary girls and their hairpin ceremony.

Of course, there are exceptions.

He Qi from the Wu Auntie's family, Dongtou, is also Xue Qianzhen's apprentice, two months older than the third girl. The fifth aunt's family is similar to the He Gong family. There is also a 200-300 acres of land outside. There is a small shop in the county to make some living money. However, Auntie Wu has always favored boys over girls and was stingy, so He Qi and the family of Shaoyan didn't do it at all, or they did it, but the clan members didn't hear it. Moreover, He Qi and the third girl are all Xue Qianzhen's disciples, and both girls are

He is good at embroidery work, and his age is similar, so people cannot help but compare it in their hearts. In particular, the fifth aunt brought her family to eat the third girl and the wine. There were three daughters and one son in her family. He Cang was in school and He Qi wanted to do embroidery work at home. Therefore, in the future, the rest of the two daughters brought them. The fifth aunt also came with his in-laws, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, and eldest sister-in-law. His father-in-law ranks third in the clan, so he is called Master He San. Some of the tribesmen are called third uncle, third uncle or third grandfather.

However, the third girl and the wine are different from Mrs. He's birthday. When Mrs. He celebrates her birthday, if someone is familiar with her, she will naturally come and be lively. For example, the third girl and the wine are mostly female relatives of the same generation as the Shen family. There are fewer men, and even fewer grandparents. The same generation as Mrs. He's mother-in-law and third wife come.

Mrs. He has been annoyed by this family for a long time, and it is nothing else. Every time Mrs. He celebrates her birthday, the family is the most complete and the gifts are the thinnest, which annoyed Mrs. He. When Shen posted a post, Mrs. He forgot to tell Shen that it would be better not to invite this family! Now that we are here, on a happy day, Mrs. He is not going to have an attack and drive people out directly.

Although it is not easy to have an attack, Mrs. He will also reveal her flaws. She smiled and said, "The girls are all old, why didn't Sister Qi come? She and our three girls have always been very good."

The third wife laughed, "Girl Qi has received some work from her Aunt Li's place. The owner is so anxious that he really has no time."

Mrs. He smiled, "I remember that the two girls are about the same age. How old is Qi's girl? When will she get married, I have to back up and give Qi's girl a good gift. That girl is very capable, so I really want this capable and ambitious girl."

The third wife felt a little uncomfortable on her face, and the fifth aunt smiled, "I originally said I wanted to do it for the girl, but her temper was the most frugal. She kept saying that her brother had a lot of money for schooling, and I bought all the fish and meat at home, so she forced her to return it."

The third wife immediately answered the daughter-in-law's words and laughed, "The child is so sensible, what's the way to do it?"

It seems that other people's daughters are just ignorant when they hold wedding ceremony. Many of the third wife will offend people. This sentence offends most of the families with daughters in the house. Mrs. He smiled even more and said, "Oh, so that's it. Children are sensible and sensible. If you want me to tell me, you are too real. The third girl doesn't want me to do it. But I said that girls' family will be just this time in their lifetime. It's not lively, it's really unreasonable. Besides, children are capable and worthy of this and the banquet. For example, we three girls took a job from her Aunt Li at the age of nine, and until now she has the luck to accept Master Xue as an apprentice. The children are not easy, and they are motivated. We elders must know that they love them."

No need for others to praise, Mrs. He blushed her face. If she didn't hear it with her own ears, the third girl could not believe that this was said from her grandmother's mouth. However, the third girl also understood that her grandmother liked capable girls. So she heard Mrs. He said, "Especially this embroidery work is not as much as anything else. It costs the eyes the most. If the children are young this year, if they don't know how to maintain their eyes, they will be afraid that their eyes will be broken early. I told the third girl that after half an hour, they will rest for a quarter of an hour, and they will not ask her to do work at night. If the days are long in the future, it will be at this moment." Mrs. He was very rude to take He Zijin's reminder to the third girl for herself, and continued to summarize the words of her girl's film, with a kind face. "I heard from the doctor that chrysanthemum tea, wolfberry, and cassia seeds are all eye-protections, so the girls must drink some of them all at all times."

As he said, Mrs. He seemed to think of something, and said to the third girl, "Put your wolfberry in a while, take it for your third grandma, and bring it to Sister Qi to drink. I heard that the child often lives until the third day. How can this happen? It is already dark at night, and even if the light is lighted, it is not as good as the daytime. Even if the sun is not good, make less." In order to find some unhappiness for the third wife, Mrs. He is not even a little bloody. The main reason is that the wolfberry in her family doesn't cost money. He Zijin planted it in the yard and planted it in two acres in the field. The whole family can drink enough. The excess can be dried and sold to the Chinese medicine store.

In order to get the free face, the third wife told Mrs. He that she almost didn't come up and killed her life. Fortunately, living at this age is not a good-looking lamp. The third wife can still tease her face and laugh, "Yes. It's said that the younger brother and sister are famous people who love children. The third girl is also at the age of being a kiss. The younger brother and sister are only one niece of the mother's family, so she has to prepare more dowry for the third girl." Mrs. He knew that the third wife was so stingy that the family was shameless, and the third wife also knew Mrs. He knew that this woman was born with a rooster and asked her to pluck her hair to kill her! Therefore, this is the case.

Unexpectedly, this was in line with Mrs. He. Mrs. He was rarely open in this life. Even if others didn't ask, she wanted to show off her. Today, the third wife was not lucky. She didn't look at the calendar when she went out. She wanted to slapped Mrs. He, but by chance, she carried her back to the sedan chair. Mrs. He smiled happily, with an old face on her face, and her voice was very bright, and she said, "What's going on in my family? My sister-in-law knows that if I have too much, I can't take it out. There are twenty acres of land, so I have already purchased it for the third girl. We are a small family, so we can only take it out. It produces some every year, which is enough to subsidize the child's cosmetics money."

As soon as Mrs. He said this, the female family in the house exclaimed and said that Mrs. He is generous and compassionate. Nowadays, ordinary families in Bishui County are willing to give 30 or 50 taels of dowry their daughters, and few people accompany them to the fields. Moreover, the third girl came alone, and her family was poor and had no copper coins. She did not have a surname. Now Mrs. He gave her twenty acres of land, which is really generous. Some tribesmen even think that being a real person should not behave like a person. The He family is often stingy in daily life. He is called He's Shuangshuang'er with the third wife. He heard that Mrs. He gave Aunt Li to the Embroidery Shop, and she had to eat a bag in the Embroidery Shop before she was willing to leave. She didn't want to be so open-minded in the Embroidery Shop, which is really impressive.

Old lady He also pretended to be modest and said to the third wife, "I am not a big business than your sister-in-law. At that time, Sister Qi's dowry will definitely be richer than the third girl."

The third wife suddenly called Mrs. He so much that she couldn't sit still. However, her mind was quick and she immediately asked, "Is there anyone in the third girl?" Several nephews and grandchildren in her family were also a match for the same age as the third girl. When she thought of the third girl having a dowry of twenty acres of land, the third wife lived and ignored Mrs. He's words that she had to squeeze her.

He Han's mother Wang said happily, "Aunt San, you are one step late. Aunt Wu looks at me, that boy is not bad." This fifth aunt is talking about Mr. He. It is like this when living in a clan. Because the clan members also have different generations of people, I may have several families.

"I also saw that the third girl was really outstanding. She was a few years younger than my third child, so I told Ahan." He Han's uncle, matchmaker Chang, smiled, "The third girl looks good and has a good temperament. Ahan has studied and practiced martial arts, and they are all children with a foundation. They are talented and beautiful women, and are made of heaven and earth."

Wang smiled, "After the third girl and the hairpin, this month is a good day. We have discussed with my aunt that we will get married at the 18th. Then the aunt, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law, and sister-in-law, will be lively and lively."

There was another congratulation in the room immediately. The third girl avoided her when Mrs. He said she had been married. She was not here at this time, so she could save her embarrassment and shame. However, the third wife, fifth aunt, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, torture her torture her to be so mean to her, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law felt that the clan members looked at them in a wrong way.

He Heng's wife and He Luo's mother Sun also came. Nothing else, Shen Su has won the Jinshi, and the ranking is very good. It is better than Sun's father and the Jinshi are on the three sides. It's nothing else. Shen Su directly entered the Hanlin Academy to be a Hanlin Academy. Shen Su is very good at being a good person. Although he has not had many holidays, he has visited all the families he should visit. No matter how famous the gentry in Bishui County is about to get some connections, he also invited Shen Su to drink. Shen Su was versatile. After drinking with the gentry, he went to visit the county magistrate. The county magistrate was very polite to him. The two were a seventh-rank small county magistrate and the Hanlin Academy Shujishi. Even if the grades were similar, they knew that the future was not the same. Moreover, the ability of a Jinshi in Bishui County could be a good proof that the county magistrate was well-mannered.

Moreover, Shen Su socializes, especially in Bishui County, He Gong is invited to talk to him. The He family is the old residence in Bishui County, but He Gong's family is ordinary, and he is just a scholar and fame. Now with Shen Su, the brother-in-law of the Hanlin Academy, and the uncle Lang and the other two can be regarded as a powerful voice. At least the people in Bishui County know that his brother-in-law has his brother-in-law, so he must be polite.

The He family and the Shen family are serious in-laws. Chen Su also gave He Heng family a good face and wrote a letter of recommendation to He Luo. The person who recommended it was not someone else. It was a great scholar named Xue who was introduced to him and He Gong. Chen Su passed the Juren and passed the Jinshi, and this person was inevitably given guidance to him in articles and admired him deeply. The first thing Chen Su did to return home in glory was to visit Mr. Xue first. This Mr. Xue was famous and won the top scorer when he was young. After several years of office, he returned home and lived in seclusion. He thought about it. He was famous for his studies and his talent was spread abroad, and he was known to all the people in Northern Liang, Western barbarians and Southern Yue. Even though Mr. Xue retired, he also had the title of third-rank grand scholar given by the court. In short, this was a great scholar with both virtue and talent. Even the Master of the Ministry should be polite to Mr. Xue. Mr. Xue has such a reputation, so he would not mention those who wanted to worship his disciples. However, Mr. Xue did not accept disciples. People were proud of being able to receive Mr. Xue's guidance. However, this gentleman was too famous. How could he easily see him if no one recommended him?

He Luo was a young scholar and took a break from his busy schedule. He also read his articles and wrote this letter of recommendation to He Luo.

This letter is worth a thousand gold.

Chen Su, on the one hand, is to give face to the He clan leader; on the other hand, sister and brother-in-law can also be taken care of by the clan leader; on the third hand, He Luo is indeed a little spiritual. Chen Su is not a narrow-minded person. When he has the ability, he is not stingy to support the backwards.

Of course, another reason is that He Heng had a good relationship with him. Otherwise, the Chen family and him were still relatives. Although Chen Zhi was a few years older than He Luo, he was successful at a young age. Chen Su did not like the Chen family and did not see Chen Zhi, so he only wrote one letter of recommendation. The He Heng family was not stupid, and did not publicize it widely, but only knew it in his heart.

Therefore, the head of the He family had a great impression of Chen Su. He loved the house and the mistress, so he naturally became closer to the He Gong family. It was Sun who used to be very disgusted with He Zijin when he was young. Now, with Chen Su passing the imperial examination and the two families being close to each other, Sun also forgot about the past and knew that the He family had served wine for the third girl. Sun dressed up and brought her younger daughter smartly.

When Sun heard the tribe's female family admired the twenty acres of land, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, thinking that he was a small local man and had no knowledge. However, the He Gong family was just a small wealthy family, and it was quite good to be able to take out twenty acres of land.

Because the third girl had a generous dowry and had already made a happy event with the He Han family, it was an engagement ceremony, so it was quite lively and the wine was quite lively. Mrs. He received countless favors, and this time it was mostly sincere. The whole clan could not expect that Mrs. He would be able to give the third girl a dowry of twenty acres of land. For example, the third wife and the fifth aunt, I felt that I had won the Jinshi and helped my sister's family.

Anyway, this day is very lively.

There was a lively banquet at noon. When the tribe members were sent away, Shen took the third girl He Zijin and the maid and the mother-in-law to clean up the mat. Even the chicken bones and fish bones were gathered together. They could feed dogs and cats for frugality. They would never waste it. When the children were old, Shen taught them how to manage their family and live their lives.

In the house, Mrs. He looked at the gifts given by his relatives today by his relatives. The He family is a small family, and most of the things given by the tribe are common, including three-foot cotton fabrics or eggs and fruits produced by his own family. The two families are famous wealthy families in the clan, and the things given are particularly high-end. Sun gave two bright silk and satin materials, while Li gave a pair of silver hairpins of Butterfly Love Flower, which were all very decent. After seeing it, Mrs. He asked, "What did the family give to Baer?"

Madam Yu said, "Mrs. Third wife brought two packs of snacks."

Mrs. He was shocked, "I was willing to give you snacks. Come and take them to me and see, why did the sun hit the west?"

Old Madam He thought it was Piaoxiangyuan's snacks. She loved to eat this bite, but she didn't expect that. Madam Yu took it and took two packs of oil paper. When she opened it, Old Madam He was almost angry. It was not Piaoxiangyuan's snacks, but two packs of several square cooked cakes.

Old Madam He scolded, "This killer kills Ba'er, this is also called snack!"

Madam Yu advised, "After all, it's made of white flour. I'll get hot in the cage tomorrow, so I'll save myself from making steamed buns in the morning."

Old lady He was furious, "Damn it, I'm a damn old man. A family of more than a dozen people come to our house to have a big chew, so I'll give her a few cakes! Next time I can spare her!" I'm going to make sure to give the third wife a good look when the opportunity is right!

For a moment, the mat outside was packed up, and the third girl He Zijin came over. He picked two pieces of ordinary materials sent by the tribe members, and gave them one piece, asking them to make their own clothes. He asked the third girl, "Didn't you wrap the wolfberry to Koba'er's house?" She was polite at that time.

Unexpectedly, the third girl said, "I'll give it some to Sister Qi."

Old lady He slapped her thigh and sighed, "You are real, I'll just say it."

The third girl said, "Oh, I just packed it for Sister Qi, and I don't know if I can get it into her mouth. I gave her some last time. I heard from her that the fifth aunt said that Brother Cang'er was studying and making soup, and she made tea and made soup for Brother Cang'er to eat."

Old Madam He was even more disgusted with this family and cursed, "Look at it! If you don't accumulate virtue, you will be retribution sooner or later!" He said, "Jess Qi'er's child is really a good girl who was born in this family without cultivation in his previous life. What a pity!" Then he counted the ten major crimes of the third wife's stingy, and Old Madam He cursed for half an hour before he could barely exclaim his anger.

The third wife and his family had a big meal in the He family. Because they had eaten too much fish, they felt a little overwhelmed. The third wife asked the second granddaughter to make a cup of hot tea to drink it to digest food, and complained to their daughter-in-law, "The iron rooster has cut meat today, how could he bear to give her niece like this? A Chang is not real. A girl with a good dowry quickly said to her nephew quietly. No one else knew about it, and her good daughter snatched it from her family." The third girl also made money with good needlework, but she was too lazy on weekdays and refused to work at night, so her income was far inferior to her granddaughter. If she had known that the third girl was so generous, she would say she would give her nephew and grandchildren, and then she would change her lazy temper, and life would not be bad.

Aunt Wu said, "Isn't that true? I asked Sister Chang to tell us Sister Qi to kiss us, but I was worried at all. It turned out that I was busy organizing my nephew. I just wanted to earn money from our matchmaker, so I told her to go!"

The third wife said, "Qi girl is still young, and the girl's family can stay for a few more years. We are the relatives of our family, so there is no need to rush to send the child out. However, Acang, next year, it is fifteen, and he should have a careful person to serve him. Ask the matchmaker to pay attention, we Acang are scholars, and in addition to being a good match, girls must be gentle. As long as they are sensible, it is okay to be two years older, and they can serve others."

Aunt Wu also thought this way, laughing, "What my mother said is reasonable, I remember."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law plan together, but they still don’t know that they are already a laughing stock.

Sun went home and talked about the third girl and the wedding ceremony with his mother-in-law Liu. Sun couldn't help but praise He's mother, "I usually only hear people say that my aunt is a frugal person, and she is really good at doing things."

Mrs. Liu laughed, "Your aunt has never been confused about major issues."

Although Sun's family usually claims to be a lady from a Jinshi family, she is actually a gossip. After watching the excitement today, she couldn't help but talk about the affairs of the third wife and fifth aunt's family. Mrs. Liu sighed, "Did you see, the third family is just making plans for small things, and she is a confused insect in big things. At that time, everyone prefers boys over girls. In fact, children are all their own family members. It doesn't need to say that there is nothing at home, and they can't be completely biased. If the daughter gets a family, can't she have a loss for her parents' family?"

"I treat my own daughter as an outsider in my heart, and I put my heart in my heart. My daughter has a little ambition and will also treat my mother's family as an outsider." Mrs. Liu said to her wife, "Look at your aunt's family, she only has one son and one daughter. Although Jing Jie'er married farther away, she is in Furong County. But the son-in-law of the Feng family is also famous and capable. In just a few years, she has passed the exam and became an official. This is the marriage that Jing Jie'er made for Jing Jie'er when she was alive. As for Ah Gong, she has a good vision and luck. Not to mention her success, she is also a top-notch person. So this family looks almost the same now. If you look at it again in twenty years, you will be a big deal.

It's different." He Gong's fame is limited, but He Gong has a son, and He Lie is also a student. Shen Su is willing to write a letter of recommendation to take care of He Luo, and he can't treat his nephew badly. Although He is a little stingy on weekdays, he is clear about the big things. What's wrong with giving the third girl more dowry? The third girl has long lost her parents' home, and the He family is her parents' home. That girl is very capable, let alone, He is so open-minded, isn't it good for her family's reputation? It's not like the foolish worm of the third wife, who knows that the family's stingy one's brain is broken. Granddaughter and hairpin are reluctant to even have a hairpin ceremony. Who doesn't laugh at me?

Sun is now particularly close to his mother-in-law and smiled, "Yes, everyone says that my aunt is willing to give her niece and granddaughter a dowry. In the future, Zijin said that her husband's family will have a more generous dowry."

Liu smiled, "This is natural. Zijin's mother is famous for her life. Besides, her uncle and her family are all officials and are really relatives. She will definitely add makeup to this girl in the future."

Now when talking about He Zijin, Sun was full of intimacy, "Especially that girl looks good, the third girl is a famous beauty, and Zijin is no worse than the third girl. Today, as everyone talks, someone asked Zijin."

Liu laughed, "How old is she? This is too impatient."

"yes."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about the third girl and the banquet. Sun used tea to serve her mother-in-law and went back to her house to change her clothes.

After attending the third girl's banquet, the most joyful thing is the third girl's expectant mother-in-law Wang. Compared to the ups and downs in her heart at the beginning, Wang now feels that the more she thinks about this marriage, the more she feels that this marriage is in line with her.

Not only is the third girl’s dowry not bad, but even if she can’t compare to her niece’s dowry for fifty acres of land, it has a huge benefit. The He Gong family really has several good relatives, and they are all officials!

The third girl has no father or mother, and the He Gong family is not her mother's family! Although her relationship with the He Gong family in the past was not bad, no matter how close she was, she could not compare to her current marriage. Wang even thought that in the future, she might be able to gain some money. At least, it is certain that her grandson will not worry about her husband when she is studying!

Thinking of this, Wang became even more happy and felt that his son had extraordinary vision! He Gong and Xiucai had competed with him back then! If He Gong had not been married to Shen at that time, there would be no brother-in-law to be a Hanlin man now!

Good vision is definitely born!

Good luck is definitely born!

After having fun at home, Wang continued to prepare his son's betrothal gift with joy~
