89. Marriage

A Nian has a very good memory. After the old ghost explained it to him, he could remember it no matter how small he used a quill to silently use a quill pen. He Zijin sighed, "A Nian, you are so fond of it." He put a cup of rock candy on hand to stew pears.

A Nian said, "I didn't have such a good memory before." He listened to He Zijin's diary for those two years, and he would not forget the effort he listened to.

"Is there any trick?" He Zijin has never forgotten his ability in two lifetimes.

A Nian smiled, "Just concentrate, don't be distracted. Even if you remember it temporarily, you have to memorize it in your mind a few more times, otherwise you will still forget it."

The old ghost recalled his great achievements back then, "I didn't have money to buy books at that time. When I passed by the book shop, I read the boss's books. I could remember them after reading them once."

A Nian said to him, "That's because you didn't meet Sister Zijin."

The old ghost said "cut", "That girl, no, Miss Zijin is not a god, can she still create a book for you?"

A Nian, "Sister Zijin can't make a book, but she is familiar with the boss of the book shop. What books do I want to read? Sister Zijin can borrow it and copy two volumes, one volume is left by herself, and one volume is given to the boss of the book shop. This way, only using pen, ink and paper is much more cost-effective than buying a book."

While A Nian was communicating with the old ghost, she kept listening to Zijin's sister asking, "Old Ghost is quite knowledgeable." He Zijin saw that Shen Nian wrote on it was much more thorough and profound than what her father said on weekdays.

A Nian nodded, "He has also read some books before."

The old ghost immediately emphasized, "What does it mean to have read some books? A boy who has no knowledge! It is your fortune to be able to keep up with me in your life!"

He Zijin asked quietly, "Have he told you to tell you about the autumn examination questions and the spring examination questions?"

"Sayed."

He Zijin reminded, "Don't believe it!"

Lao Gui: If you are really ungrateful, will he harm the little guy?

He Zijin and A Nian said, "Let him teach you how to learn. People cannot always take shortcuts. You learn it yourself. This is your own. Otherwise, today, you will think about taking shortcuts again. He came suddenly. If he suddenly disappeared one day, what should he do? Learn the real skills. When you learn it, aren't you afraid of the autumn and spring exams? Otherwise, I heard that those knowledgeable people are all figures who rely on Ma Qianyan. If you get a good ranking because you know the question, but the answer does not match the real name, what should you do then? Learn from him, but you cannot rely on him in everything. A Nian is a man, the one who will be trusted in the future. Besides, although you have the same life experience, you are completely two people with him in terms of nature. His life is the same, and your life must be the same."

Old ghost:...

A Nian nodded, "I'll listen to Sister Zijin. He wants to tell me, I don't want it."

"Be good." He Zijin touched A Nian's head and said, "Eat stewed pears first, don't be cold."

A Nian said, "It's still a bit hot."

He Zijin picked it up and blew it for him, "It's not hot anymore, eat it."

A Nian first scooped a spoonful of his sister Zijin, and He Zijin said, "I've eaten two bowls in the kitchen." This pear was stewed by her. Can the cook be hungry? He Zijin now has another hobby: cooking skills. But now the hot cooking is not easy to control, and her level is only 20% or 30%.

A Nian started eating by himself. When he finished eating, He Zijin took the bowls and chopsticks out to clean up, and A Nian continued to copy.

The old ghost sighed: This little ghost is indeed better than him. When he was a child, no one gave him a bowl of stewed pears. Of course, he was not as sensible as the little ghost when he was a child. He had to fool the little girl to blow cool for himself when he was a stewed pear. It's really good to do it~

A Nian worked hard in the house, and Shen said, "Go and study with your brother A Nian."

He Lie guarded his mother to eat the stewed pear and said, "When I finish eating, Brother Lie will read books every day, and he doesn't say he will take a break."

Shen said, "You also have to learn from A Nian. Where can I study without hard work? If I don't work hard, I can get into the exam without hard work."

He Lie, "Did my father fail to get into the Juren without hard work?"

He Gong laughed and scolded, "Study hard does not necessarily mean that he can pass the exam, and if he does not work hard, he will definitely not pass the exam." He Gong failed in the autumn exam last year. Fortunately, he was always open-minded and did not realize anything. Now he teaches his two children's enlightenment lessons at home.

He Lie said, "Dad, I'll come back from the exam for a juren in the future."

He Gong laughed, "Okay, I am a scholar. If you take the imperial examination, you will be a Jinshi when my grandson is."

He Lie said, "Dad, then you will be his grandfather of the Jinshi, and I will be his father of the Jinshi."

He Gong laughed.

Shen laughed, "I will talk nonsense and don't study hard."

He Lie ate all the stewed pears in a few mouthfuls, put down the bowl and went to the study room to study with A Nian. He was running into He Zijin who was coming in. He Lie called "sister" and ran away. He Zijin came in to clean up the dishes.

Shen said, "I'll call your third sister here later."

He Zijin put away the bowls and chopsticks and asked, "What's the matter?"

Shen laughed, "I won't tell you."

He Zijin said, "Then I can know too." He Zijin is a person who loves to inquire. She can't hide anything at home and leaves with her bowls and chopsticks.

Shen was also very happy when he looked at his baby daughter and smiled, "It's grown up in a blink of an eye." The daughter is on 11th this year, and now she can see her tall figure and looks handsome. Shen feels that her daughter is better than when she was young. Of course, Shen is not old now. She is only thirty years old. Because she is good at maintaining her on weekdays, she looks younger than her daughter-in-law of the same age. Shen said to her husband, "The third girl is in the year of Ji Chi, and our family does not have many pomp than those big families. But I think I have to celebrate the birthday of the third girl. Inviting all the relatives to meet the third girl. She looks good, not to mention her ability. A picture of an embroidery last month sold for three taels of silver. Hebishui County is counted as much as her promising girl."

"The third girl has been in our family for several years. When my daughter grows up, we have to start arranging and say that we can get married in two years. At that time, the third girl is seventy-eight years old, not too young, and just get married." Shen discussed with her husband, "What do you think?"

He Gong held one of his wife's hand, "Third girl is the birthday of May." It's only February now.

"Is it possible to get into a sedan chair and then thorn your ears and eyes. It's okay to treat your birthday. You can prepare it two or three days in advance." Shen smiled, "You always have to be new in clothes, shoes and socks. Otherwise, you men are careless."

He Gong laughed, "You should tell the third girl, you should be careful about these trivial matters."

Shen laughed, "The prophet will tell you."

As the couple talked, the third girl came and asked her uncle and aunt with a smile, "Auntie, Is there anything wrong?"

Shen saw that she was wearing a red crabapple and a long skirt, with a draped hair and a bun, two crabapple silk flowers on her hair, a draped bead earrings, a silver bracelet with leek leaves, and a hand-woven chain of concentric knots hanging around her waist, and a tassels made of thin threads were laid down below the concentric knot. There were no valuable items on her body, but the third girl had such a good appearance, which was really a willow eyebrows, apricot eyes, a beautiful nose and bead lips. Even if He Zijin grew up in the future, it would be a bit like whether he had the good appearance of the third girl. Of course, He Zijin's appearance was always the best. However, the third girl was older, and when she was in the age of Jiang Ji, the best time for a woman in her life was here. In comparison, He Zijin was still a eleven-year-old girl.

Shen first called the third girl to sit down and said to her husband, "Didn't you say you went to the study room to read the two children's school?"

He Gong knew that his wife was trying to help him away. He slapped his forehead and smiled, "Yes, look at my memory." Then he raised his foot. The third girl stood up and saw him off, and He Gong waved his hand, "Talk to your aunt."

Shen looked at the third girl with a smile. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her. In fact, □□ was nothing. The key was to look at what kind of child she was adopting. If she adopted a good girl like the third girl, she would be happy to ask her to adopt two or three taels of silver. Shen took out two pieces of material from the cabinet and said to the third girl, "It's nothing, this is the material I asked your aunt, your grandmother's fifth cousin to buy,

I have discussed with your uncle. This year is not as good as in previous years. In the past few years, we are just small families and do not have the many pompous appearances of wealthy families. I just thought about asking relatives to come and give you a lively fun. The clothes you cut yourself are better than those made by the tailor outside. Take this material and make two dresses well. You can cut and make them. You can embroider some tricks on it, which is also very good. It is also festive to wear them when you are born."

The third girl hurriedly said, "Auntie, I still have clothes to wear. Auntie has some clothes, all of them are very good."

Shen smiled, "Your aunt's clothes are good, but Ji Tzu wants to wear new clothes, so he also takes a good omen. On a birthday, it's not as good as before, just to have a bright and festive celebration."

The third girl felt uneasy, "Just let's have a meal at home. Aunt, don't have to invite relatives, it's such a big show, weird, weird, troublesome." It's not that my grandmother celebrates her birthday. Only when my grandmother celebrates her birthday will she invite all my relatives.

Shen smiled, "That year, I was in the village, not as good as the county town. My parents also invited my relatives to come and have fun. Even your aunt, I heard from your uncle, it's the same. It's okay, just enjoy it with peace of mind and make your dress in advance. This is the case in your Jichou year, and Zijin will be the same in the future."

The third girl saw that although the material was not silk, it was made of silk cotton. It was very soft in her hands. The third girl was a person who was born in embroidery and cut it very well. You can tell at a glance that there were too many materials. The third girl said, "Auntie, how can I use these many materials? I will take one piece to make it. Leave a piece for my sister to wear clothes. Then we sisters will look good only if we have new shirts."

Shen smiled, "I prepared hers for you, this is for you. Take it and do it slowly. At such a good age, it's time to wear clothes." The family's normal family background cannot come up with too many things to dress up for girls, otherwise the appearance of the girls at home will be no worse than the ladies of wealthy families.

After living together for the past few years, the third girl has long lost her home and thought that the He family was the leader. Shen said this, so she refused to refuse and said to Shen quietly, "Aunt, if someone says he is married, I want to get married two years later."

Shen touched her head and smiled, "I think so too, at least it's seventeen or eighteen years old, and I can't bear to leave it too early." Besides, getting married too early and getting pregnant and having children is also a great burden on the girl's health.

The third girl lowered her eyes and smiled. When it comes to marriage, she still felt a little embarrassed.

Shen privately mentioned the matter between the third girl and the second wife. He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "The third girl has known to be successful in the past few years, and it is time to make a face for her." At the critical moment, He was still very good at distinguishing the importance. The third girl himself was successful and had the ability to make a living. Nowadays, not to mention women, even big men can earn two taels of silver a month. Of course, those who are priests don't count. Such families don't like the He family. He is talking about men from ordinary families.

The third girl has skills. Not to mention that she was so beautiful, she was still a hot product even if she was a little rough. Since the last year, someone asked Mrs. He or Shen about the third girl. The third girl is definitely able to show off her own conditions, but the third girl also has shortcomings. Even if she doesn’t have a family, it’s easy to say that she grew up in the He family. The He family is a generous family, and the third girl can treat the He family as her family. However, without a father or a mother, just like that, some mean people have to say that the third girl is hard.

Mrs. He said to Shen, "The years of Ji Chi are going to be lively. When your sister Ji Chi, I also served her wine. The third girl, come here as well."

Mrs. He was afraid that Shen would not understand, and explained, "The main reason is that she is not incompetent. She has been here for a while. If she can say that she is decent, it will not be in vain to raise her for the past few years."

Shen laughed, "Yes."

Shen accompanied Mrs. He to tell a few family gossips, and then talked about going to Mrs. Xian’s house. "My mother’s birthday is coming soon. I copied the scriptures and sent them to Mrs. Xian for offerings. When I came back, I met Aunt Li, who lives next to Mrs. Xian, but after hearing Aunt Li complaints."

Mrs. He said, "What's there to complain about? It's not that she just married a wife, and it's time to enjoy it."

Shen sighed, "What he is talking about is this newly married wife. Aunt Li thought her wife was too thin and said that she would hurt her face when she got married that day."

Old Madam He habitually said, "It's not your Aunt Li's fault for talking about this. I've never seen anyone doing things like that again. There are more than ten cages, and when I open them, there is no decent thing! Who can be happy with whom in-laws?"

Shen followed the words of Mrs. He, "Yes, it's not a pity for Aunt Li to get angry when the dowry is done like this. I heard that the bride is also a famous and capable person in all corners of the countryside, but just like that, she will be talked about in her husband's house. This is a young man for one or two years. If he really meets a mean person, he will be able to do it forever. What's the use of being a wife? The shortcomings are in the hands of others, and he will never raise his head forever." In the world, Shen said that it was the one who married this person, but it is not uncommon for a woman who has been angry for the rest of her life because of her dowry. Even Shen was able to do it back then. Fortunately, Mrs. He was able to do it, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has become more and more harmonious in recent years. Mrs. He has long since mentioned this.

Mrs. He was not stupid either. Mrs. Shen specifically said this. Mrs. He said, "Don't worry about the third girl, I know what I know."

"I can't compare my mother's experience. I know that my mother had already thought of it." Shen smiled, not talking about the dowry, but only talked about the third girl, "The third girl has been in our family for the past few years. I treat her in my heart, and I treat her the same as Zijin. This child has a harder life, but I am better than the world. As long as I work hard, I will never have to worry about living a bad life in the future."

Shen said with a smile, "It is said that women marry for the second time. Like me, I will be reincarnated. I am lucky to meet a generous mother-in-law like my mother." Here, I have to say that He Zijin's ability to lie with open eyes is not only because she is wearing it, but perhaps Shen's inheritance is brought in her blood.

He heard Shen's flattery and even made Old Madam He very useful, Old Madam He rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "Don't worry, I can't lose money to the third girl, I will never ask her to go out naked."

Shen smiled, "My mother and I have a close relationship. I am thinking these days. In the future, the third girl will get married, no matter how thick she is, she will always have a dowry. Look, my mother and I have come to the same place again."

Old Madam He glanced at the wife, "Zi Jin's mouth is like you."

Shen laughed, "It's better to be like me, it's better to be like my mother." In addition to being bad-mouthed, Mrs. He is really not bad. So, in the past two years, Mrs. Shen was also happy to coax the old lady.

Mrs. He smiled, "Of course, I'm like mine." The third girl is capable, and she is the only one who can get into the eyes of Mrs. He. Of course, Mrs. He has never dealt with the third girl's father and grandfather. However, no matter how good the third girl is, in Mrs. He's heart, naturally, her own girl's movies are more lovely.

However, after getting along for the years, Mrs. He is not a stern heart. The third girl is good, and she doesn't plan to be mean to the third girl. Anyway, she has married the third girl and will be the one who will live a good life in the future.
