483. Imperial Capital Three Five(1/2)
Chapter 483
Ah Xi was sure that the twins were just two people who were cheap and were good at it.
Since the two of them bought a small village together, the twins have different walking postures every day. In Ah Xi's words, they just tilted their heads to the sky and screamed.
The twins didn't care what the elder sister said, it was summer. They had to hurry up and look at their own small village. They saw the tenant who rented farming land. They knew that they could give the tenant some discounts and win people's hearts. In short, the twins were very busy and worked very hard!
Aye was the eldest brother of the family, so he asked Axi where the farm came from. Axi said, "It was said that a young master from the Wei family, whose parents were gone, and he all relied on the fields he passed down from his ancestors. He was a bad job and sold land if he had no money. This was the last hundred acres. He really had no plans. He saw that it was summer harvest. After summer harvest, he could earn at least one hundred and eighty taels more. Maybe he was in a hurry to use money, but he didn't care about summer harvest. He was in a hurry to take action and asked for ten taels of silver per acre. The price was not high, but this person, seeing that he was in urgent need of money, he had to stretch him. Brother Azhen knew about this. Such a small farm, he knew about the twins."
A Ye said, "The family was defeated, and the descendants were not successful. The Wei family has been going on for thirty or forty years, and it is still the Duke's Mansion."
A Xi also said, "Don't look at the family going up the steps and working hard, it's much easier to go down."
"Yes." This feeling is particularly deep for the Jiang family, which is in the rising stage.
The twins were busy with their own little village, while the twins were busy with their third uncle Xing Ge'er's marriage. The Li family had already arrived in the imperial capital. As Mrs. He said earlier, Mrs. He was old, and the two granddaughters in the family were still in the stage of fertility. Du's childbirth was approaching. Although Mrs. Shen had always been capable, she was not young anymore. Besides, Brother Jin had to take care of her. There were so many things to do about marriage, so He Zijin took A Ye and A Xi to help.
In addition to helping her mother, Aye also had to help her third uncle come up with advice. People at the time of the wedding, but the woman's door is not so easy to enter, so it's not necessary to spread red envelopes, but in addition to spreading red envelopes, a scholarly family like the Li family must suffer some difficulties when they welcome the bride. Aye gave an example, "When the third uncle was greeted, my father had a very difficult couple, which made the third uncle very worried. Fortunately, the third uncle had enough people to have enough men and a brother who was good at pairings at home. Otherwise, the third uncle would be too embarrassed. Third uncle, please ask the third aunt in advance to see if the Li family had a big problem for you."
"We will get married next month, and we can't meet now." When Xing Ge'er was born, the third girl had already got married, so he didn't know that his brother-in-law had done such a bad thing as making things difficult for the groom. However, Xing Ge'er had a very idea, "Or, let A Xi help me ask."
So, Axi helped his third uncle run errands to Li's house to inquire about the news.
A Xi told Li Sanniang the truth, "My third uncle is afraid that your family will have some big problems, and he will be embarrassed if he can't answer it at that time."
Li Sanniang smiled, "It's just lively, there will be any problems."
Ah Xi said, "Then I'm relieved. You don't know my third uncle. I'm so eager to see you."
Li Sanniang smiled, "Don't joke with me, I heard that Mr. Ji is so anxious, but it's a waste of time for him to be anxious. You are the youngest in your generation, so you have to rank the last one."
The two of them jokingly, and A Xi asked, "Have you embroidered the wedding dress?"
"Of course it's good."
Ah Xi said, "My third uncle's is good, he is now planning to welcome relatives, and he is all choosing handsome ones."
Li Sanniang made an idea and said, "Let your third uncle count Mr. Ji and your brother. Although I have been to the Emperor Capital for a few days, I have heard that they are called the Shuangyu of the Emperor Capital in the Emperor Capital. If they want them to meet with each other, they will be very glorious."
"Then don't think about it." Ah Xi said, "My third uncle said, no one should want them, otherwise, there will be no limelight for my third uncle."
Li Sanniang laughed.
Aunt Li came over with fresh fruits, entered the door and smiled, "What are you saying, so happy."
A Xi stood up to greet him, "Big sister, tell me about the third uncle's wedding."
Aunt Li put down the fresh fruit and smiled, "I became more and more unrestrained."
Li Sanniang pulled the eldest sister down and said, "We are not outsiders. Sister, did you ask A Bing to deliver things to you."
Aunt Li sighed with a steady and gentle look, "I mean, you have to whisper a little. I heard it outside, why can't you even say private words?"
A Xi & Li Sanniang: Well, the eldest sister of the Li family is right.
A Xi asked for information from Li Sanniang and went back. Brother Xing praised A Xi very much, thinking that his niece was capable and useful.
Not only did Ah Xi ask for information for the third uncle, but she also asked her elder brother to ask Su Bing to go to the temple to burn incense. Her brother said this, "Didn't you say you can't meet a month before getting married? You can't talk well while you're still free."
A Xi said, "In the future, we will be together for the rest of our lives, why are we still anxious for a day or two?"
A Ye said, "If I were like Azhen and could see Tian'er go to Yue'er for dinner, I wouldn't be in a hurry for one or two days."
A Xi smiled, "That's because you don't go. If you go, will the Su family be unhappy?"
A Ye muttered that he was not as thick-skinned as Ji Zhen. In fact, it was mainly because Ji Zhen grew up with the Jiang family's children when he was a child. A Ye has no such connection with Ji Zhen at all! He only went there once every five or six days, and he had to be the name of looking for Su Erlang.
In this way, sometimes when I go there diligently, I will be rolled by Brother Su's second brother-in-law.
It's so difficult to meet his fiancée! I thought everyone was the same as Ji Zhen! Aye suspected that if his family had not had three sons, Ji Zhen would have married into his family.
What Aye didn't know was that he had come and go often, and it had become an interesting thing in the Su family. Mrs. Su privately said that the eldest son had made a good marriage for his granddaughter. Not to mention Aye's character and talent, of course, he had lost his talent. However, it was a big mistake to learn from this place. But just by looking at Su Bing's enthusiasm for Su Bing, Mrs. Su's age, she knew that her granddaughter would not be sad after marriage.
So, this time A Xi came to ask Su Bing to go to the temple to incense, and Mrs. Su happily released the person. However, Su Erlang still wanted to go out with his sister. This was beyond A Ye's expectations. What went beyond A Ye's surprise was that Ji Zhen knew so well that his two families were going to burn incense, so he followed him with shamelessness.
A Ye thought it was his sister's letter to Ji Zhentuo, and he was silently talking about how much the sister was. However, when he saw the twins' enthusiasm for Ji Zhen, A Ye knew that he had blamed his sister for wrongly. It turned out that Xiaoshou was twins!
But the twins didn't realize that they were doing it carefully! They thought that Brother Azhen wanted to be his brother-in-law anyway, so they were good at selling Brother Azhen. I can't tell you when Brother Azhen will have any news about the shop shop, and I will also know that they will be told.
In short, Ji Zhen’s farmer can be regarded as bribing the twins.
Before Xing Ge'er's marriage arrived, Du gave birth to a son first.
It just so happened that the He family had bought a lot of marriages for Brother Xing, and now it is not a problem to hold a slaughter ceremony or something. It is not enough to have a complete set of things. Old Mother He smiled when he saw his great-grandson and gave him a nickname to him: Welcome the joy.
This guy is a rustic person. Brother Jun chased his father and asked his father to give his son a big name.
The He family is prosperous, and even Mrs. Li said at home, "This is a sign of prosperity for the family."
Governor Li smiled and said, "Yes, it's a great joy to import."
This time the marriage between the eldest granddaughter and the third granddaughter was planned to be done together. The two sisters went out together, which was also a matter of fate. Moreover, after seeing him, Governor Li wanted to take office outside the office. This time, the two sisters got married in the imperial capital and could have some care in the future.
The Li and his wife participated in the He family's baptism together. When Mrs. Li saw He Zijin, she couldn't help but ask when A Ye and A Xi's wedding will be held. When she learned that it was going to June and July, Mrs. Li felt a little regretful, "At that time, the master and I were going to Jinzhong to take office, I'm afraid there would be no time to participate."
He Zijin smiled and said, "It seems that the in-laws' shortage is already settled?"
"Yes, if it's not bad, I'd be the governor of Jinzhong."
He Zijin immediately said, "Jinzhong is rich, although not as rich as Jiangnan, it is also a prosperous place and a good place."
Mrs. Li laughed, "It's also a coincidence." The benefits of Jinzhong are not only rich and prosperous, but also because Jinzhong is close to Xining Pass, it is also a military rush. It is the second checkpoint outside Xining Pass to resist the invasion of barbarians. Now, the son-in-law Zhongyong, Princess Duanning, is stationed in Xining Pass, so the position of governor of Jinzhong cannot be taken on by someone who is trusted by the court. Now that her husband has obtained this position, Mrs. Li is also very happy.
Furthermore, with such a lack of love, the marriage between the two girls of the Li family also adds more to their face. A family like Jiang He is naturally happy for the Li family.
He Zijin asked about the marriage of the two girls of the Li family. Mrs. Li said, "Their father is in office and is inseparable from him. Their mother has already come to the imperial capital, and Jie Shi also watches them get married."
He Zijin said, "Yes, the master has a job from the court, so there is no way to do it, but as a mother, my daughter will only have this experience in her life. If she can come, she will definitely come."
The Li family returned to the imperial capital to report their duties, but He Zijin did not see the second girl. However, Mrs. Li did not mention it, and He Zijin couldn't ask for it rashly. When he was about to go home, He Zijin asked Ah Xi casually. Ah Xi was approaching the two girls of the Li family and knew more about the second girl. Ah Xi said, "Miss Li has gone back to Master Li long ago. I heard from my third aunt that Mrs. Li was going to tell Miss Li a marriage, but she was not very happy. In Beichang Prefecture, the prominent families in Beichang Prefecture were limited, and Mrs. Li didn't want to delay her, so she sent her to Master Li's place."
After peeling a grape and eating it, A Xi said again, "As early in Beichang Mansion, I thought she was very kind. In fact, according to Mrs. Li's grandmother, the Li family is a governor's family. Can the marriage be worse? Mrs. Li is not only her granddaughter. She is still the biological father and mother when she goes back. But with such a spirit, how can she not know that Master Li is just a magistrate? Could it be better to say that the relatives are better than what Mrs. Li told her?" The pros and cons are obviously not clear in the analysis.
He Zijin said, "If I hadn't felt that Governor Li was more powerful, how could Miss Li be willing to go to Beichang Mansion? It would have been more than she could imagine, so she went back to Master Li." Anyway, my father was a relative, even if my grandparents didn't have a good marriage here, and if my father watched him, he wouldn't be able to marry badly.
Ah Xi turned around and smiled, "Yes."
A Xi said again, "I think other people's concubines are so honest. Mom, how can Miss Li do this? The eldest sister and third aunt of the Li family are not as good as her."
He Zijin smiled, "She can do it, but is the elders stupid? Look at her troubles over the past few years, Miss Li married the Su family, and the third girl married your third uncle. What about her, her sisters and sisters are married, but she has not yet settled down. Do you think she is anxious? In life, it is best to be smarter, but it is better to be stupid."
The mother and daughter talked about Miss Li Er. It was not originally a topic of gossip, but they didn't expect to see Miss Li Er again in the imperial capital.
Miss Li came with Mrs. Li. He Zijin hadn't seen Mrs. Li for a while. She was busy with her brother's marriage and had no time to go out. It was A Xi who saw her. A Xi went to talk to Miss Li San and went to visit her, so she naturally wanted to pay her respects to her elders. When she greeted her, she met Mrs. Li who had just come to the imperial capital. Mrs. Li heard that she was the niece of the third son-in-law and had been classmates with her daughters. Mrs. Li was very kind to A Xi. Seeing that A Xi was born with a very good appearance and spoke like a likable person, Mrs. Li also gave A Xi a gift to her, so that the little girl could talk to her.
Mrs. Li came here just to help prepare for the marriage of her two daughters. The two daughters grew up with her parents-in-law since childhood and were not with her mother-in-law, so Mrs. Li was so anxious. However, it is common for grandchildren to follow her grandparents these days. Moreover, the mother-in-law has made a good marriage for both daughters, so Mrs. Li is even more grateful to her mother-in-law. She has not been with her mother-in-law for a long time. Mrs. Li has come to the imperial capital and wakes up every morning and evening, which is extremely respectful and filial.
Mrs. Li also liked her daughter-in-law so respectful, and felt that she was not in vain for her two women.
When Ah Xi went to talk to her daughter, Mrs. Li said in a square manner, "This Miss Jiang is so handsome." She asked again, "I wonder if Miss Jiang's marriage is settled?" Her son's marriage was not settled yet, and she loved to inquire when she saw the outstanding girl.
Mrs. Li smiled, "You can't think about it. The marriage given by the late emperor was the eldest son of General Ji Rong, the Great General of Beijing."
Mrs. Li served tea to her mother-in-law and smiled, "I like to inquire about this problem when I see a good girl. I am afraid I will never be able to change it in my life." She said, "The late emperor is wise, this marriage is really good." In fact, Mrs. Li asked Ah Xi just casually and found out that Ah Xi had a good marriage. This is the niece of her daughter's family in the future. Ah Xi's marriage is good, and it is also a good thing for her daughter's family. Thinking of this, Mrs. Li felt that although the little daughter's marriage was not as good as the eldest daughter, it was not bad.
Mrs. Li took the tea, took a sip, and smiled, "Axi has a brother with twins, and she is Su Erlang's sister."
"Oh, this is really a relative who is in a circle." Mrs. Li said when she saw that there was no one in the house, "Miss Jiang is obviously an outstanding girl. Her twin brother is also an excellent one after another. No wonder both brothers have such a good marriage."
"Yes, in this marriage, there is no reason why the family can do their best. As elders, who do not hope that children and grandchildren will get a good marriage? But the children must be successful, right?" Mrs. Li said this just casually, but Mrs. Li was embarrassed and whispered, "Mom, I really can't do anything. You said Erya, when you came home from Beichang Prefecture, the master arranged to tell her about marriage. There were eighty families without saying this marriage. Now, the wealthy families in Huizhou heard that it was Erya.
The first one is said to be a kin, but the matchmaker dares not agree. Everyone knows that our family is very good at choosing a son-in-law. I am really, the third girl has never been so worried about it, and it has suffered so many difficulties." Mrs. Li said that it was a lot of difficulties, but if she thought so in her heart, she would just say it. The two daughters she gave birth to have such a good marriage, and Mrs. Li was preparing for the marriage of her two daughters with joy. However, the matter of this concubine's daughter cannot be ignored. After all, this is also the responsibility of her mother.
When Mrs. Li heard that the eldest daughter-in-law had suffered, she asked her a little strangely, "Then are you planning to find a good family in the imperial capital?"
Mrs. Li said, "I am in the dark here in the imperial capital, but who do you know? But when I come here, the master must bring me Erya and say that she is here to make her filial to her grandparents. If she delays her age, I am afraid that there will be no good marriage."
Mrs. Li was a little unhappy when she thought of this granddaughter. It was not because of her illegitimate identity. The key was to be ungrateful. Mrs. Li wanted to tell her second granddaughter to Brother Xing, but her second granddaughter was not happy. Well, she was not happy, and the He family was not happy. The third granddaughter was particularly sensible, and the third granddaughter was happy. What about the marriage now? Judging from how much the He family cares about it, you will know that the couple will be in harmony in the future.
Mrs. Li can guess what her second granddaughter is thinking.
Because of this, Mrs. Li was unwilling to plan for her anymore.
Anyway, we have to talk about the marriage of the eldest and third granddaughters first. Mrs. Li decided to let the marriage of the second granddaughters be temporarily released.
The two girls from the Li family came out on the same day, so Su Erlang and Xing Ge'er naturally got married on the same day.
The Jiang family stayed in the He family the night before dawn. Both families got up before dawn, and Ji Zhen also came over early to see if Brother Xing had anything to help. In fact, the family was basically ready, but Ji Zhen was still relieved to be able to come here so early. Even Jiang's father-in-law felt very proud and his son-in-law had eyesight. Isn't it indirectly proving that his father-in-law has good vision?
In fact, the main reason is that on such a happy day, there are many things to be busy at home. Isn’t it just for relatives and friends to use it at this time?
Not only Ji Zhen came early, but also the Shen family came early. Old He's house was full of people chatting and drinking tea, which was very festive and lively. Du was still in the confinement period, but Yu Xing had not passed the morning sickness period, so he let Yu Xing sit and talk, entertaining guests, and so on. Shen took He Zijin and A Xi helped him take care of it.
Starting from the beginning, the Li family sent the dowry first according to the auspicious time.
Although Governor Li was from a poor family, he naturally had a lot of savings after being a senior official for many years. What's more, Mrs. Li was from a big family, and Miss Li grew up under Mrs. Li, so the relationship was different. Mrs. Li naturally would not be wronged by her two granddaughters, and her dowry was quite abundant. However, in terms of dowry, the He family was different from the Su family. The Su family was a family of officials, Su Erlang's own father was the newly promoted governor, and his grandfather was in the cabinet. Su Erlang's legitimate birth, and he had his own marriage. Although the He family was not poor, it could not be compared with a wealthy family like the Su family. For example, the two betrothal gifts were worth ten thousand taels of silver, and the He family was full of plans, and the brothers were the same, only three thousand taels. Generally, the dowry and the betrothal gifts were equal.
Fortunately, the Li family is also flexible in handling things.
The Su family paid 10,000 silver betrothal gifts, and they prepared 10,000 taels of dowry, and gave their eldest granddaughter a total of about 20,000 silver. Here, the Li family prepared 6,000 silver for even the betrothal gifts and dowry. However, Mrs. Li explained to the He family privately that she gave the remaining money to the third granddaughter and asked the granddaughter to make a private house. In short, it was enough to save the He family's face, and the two granddaughters were also treated equally, so that the third granddaughter would not be wronged.
For this, Mrs. He has said a lot of nice things to the Li family in private.
The morning was basically a dowry, and the real wedding was in the evening. Brother Xing refused to use the imperial capital's double jade as a wedding invitation to avoid being taken away. Brother Xing invited two cousins from his uncle's family, as well as two younger brothers of his second sister-in-law Du. In Du's words, "I told them to show their faces, and they would also say they would kiss him." The main reason is that Du is now in confinement, and his brother-in-law can't help with the marriage, so Du called his parents' younger brother to come and help.
To be continued...
