Chapter 293 Three Women in One Play
Zhu Qi is a kind-hearted person, unlike most children from aristocratic families, who usually have the habit of being a playboy. However, Zhu Qi is not such a person, and his wife Wang, named Wang Linglong, is also a very resolute and upright woman, and
His wife is different. Su Jinsong is a gentle and virtuous woman who was educated under ancient traditional ethics. Although Wang Linglong is a princess, she does not have the airs of a princess in the Royal Palace, and she does not like extravagant and luxurious things. She often wears plain robes.
.People who didn’t know better thought she was the concubine of the family.
"You mean the princess told you?" Qiu Wuhen knew the princess's temperament well and knew that the princess was actually not an easy person to get along with. She was always a calm and calm person. Although she was very nice to others, she seemed
It always looks like it's hard to get close to him.
Zhu Qi nodded proudly and said: "Before you left, my sister-in-law sent home some ripe fruits. Once Linglong was curious about the chickens, ducks and fruit trees planted in your backyard, so she asked me to take her with her.
Let's go take a look together. I thought it wouldn't be appropriate for me to go alone when you are not here, so I took her with me. You know that my Linglong never associates with the wives of those powerful families, even if it is a last resort social interaction, then
It only took a cup of tea, and I gave you a few polite words before leaving. Do you know that we went to your house that day and how long my Linglong stayed at your house?"
Qiu Wuhen naturally didn't know, but he felt that Zhu Qi had a gossipy temper. However, his princess did not look like the lively person at all, and his wife also had a slow-burning temper.
But he doesn't like to socialize.
Seeing Qiu Wuhen shaking his head, Zhu Qi became even more interested and said: "We went there after breakfast, because it rained for two days in a row, and it happened to be sunny that day, so we went early, thinking in case it happened again.
It rained, so we left early and came back early, but you don’t know that we stayed at your house for a whole day that day, not only had lunch, but also had dinner, haha, you can’t believe it?”
After hearing this, Qiu Wuhen was indeed a little surprised and said, "Did mother and grandmother come out to socialize?"
Zhu Qi shook his head and said: "That's not true. Your mother and grandmother just came over to say hello and then left. My sister-in-law took Linglong and changed her outfit, saying that a small fish farm had just opened in her backyard.
Pond, we happened to buy fish fry that day, so we went to have a look. Although my family, Linglong, grew up in an aristocratic family, she liked these things very much. After hearing this, she was so happy that she went to the backyard and stayed there all day. That day was
Your two little sisters-in-law are exhausted."
Qiu Wuhen didn't even have to think about it. The two aunt's daughters were probably just pretending to work, but seeing that the princess was so high-spirited, he didn't dare to go back to the yard to rest first. Naturally, he would be exhausted at the end of the day, but it was a complaint.
I dare not have it either.
"I didn't expect Jinsong to get along with the princess. It's really beyond my expectation." Qiu Wuhen sighed.
Zhu Qi laughed and said: "Haha, from then on before winter, Linglong would often go there and stay there all day. Sometimes he would bring his two daughters there and spend the whole day, saying that the children were at home.
I am a picky eater and after I finish making trouble in your house, a bowl of clear porridge will still be delicious."
After Qiu Wuhen heard this, he also laughed and said: "Our family can't afford the princess to work for us. I will have to talk to Jinsong later. I really don't know what is important."
Zhu Qi disagreed and said: "Let them be together, not only Linglong is happy, but sometimes Mrs. Liu also comes over, and the three of them talk and laugh all day long. I think it's pretty good, and since I have my sister-in-law and
Mrs. Liu, I found that Linglong is also a lot happier."
Qiu Wuhen said gratefully: "Not only is the princess happy, I think the princess has also given Jinsong a lot of skills as a master. Thank you very much."
Zhu Qi Ze said: "Actually, I found that it was also mutual. When I was at home, no one in the palace was afraid of my Linglong. She had a loud voice and glared eyes, not to mention my concubines, concubines and subordinates.
Man, sometimes I was afraid of her, but recently I found that she has gotten much better, and sometimes she can talk nicely, which is pretty good."
Qiu Wuhen said: "By the way, you said that my backyard has changed a lot. What is going on?"
After Zhu Qi heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "My sister-in-law's two aunts and her two younger sisters, when you first arrived, you were looking for trouble every day. After a while, you got older and were no longer suitable to do menial work in the backyard."
He had calluses on his hands and feet, and it would be difficult to find a home in the future. He also said that there were servants in the family, and those jobs should be done by the servants. He also said that the food at home was not good, and sometimes he disliked the lack of servants in the family, and sometimes he disliked himself.
Her clothes are not pretty enough, and they are always full of troubles anyway. When I heard Linglong say this, I felt anxious for my sister-in-law."
Qiu Wuhen said: "Jinsong has always been easy to talk to. He would rather feel aggrieved than embarrass his mother and grandmother. However, the two aunts, one thirteen and one fifteen, are already hairpins and will be born in a year or two.
It can be said that they are kissed, and when they get married, the family will be better off."
Zhu Qi said: "As the saying goes, three women make a show. My Linglong and Mrs. Liu gave some ideas to my sister-in-law. These three women took care of your backyard. They were worried about calluses on their hands, so they said
They were told to get married quickly. They said that if they were married, their husband's family would probably not let them work and take care of them. They also said that although they could get married, there was no reason for their brother-in-law to pay for the dowry. They needed to earn their own money to pay for the dowry. As for them
My sister-in-law doesn't care how she wants to make money. She has also made an agreement with your grandmother and mother in advance not to leave them alone. She also said that if something bad happens outside, she will ask them to come out of the Qiu Mansion so as not to lose you.
people."
Qiu Wuhen smiled and said: "It really makes sense. Where in the world is there a free lunch?"
Zhu Qi nodded and said: "I also said that if you dislike the chef at home, the cooking is not good, and the clothes on you are not good-looking, you can naturally find your own way to go to the restaurant to eat, and you can go to the clothing store to buy clothes, but these are only available every month.
If the personal monthly money is not enough, I will find a way to make money by myself. I told them at that time that those who work every day will naturally have records in the accounting room. At the end of the month, I will give them together with the monthly money. If there is nothing
Guan Guan, if you still want to be well-fed and well-clothed, then quickly find someone to marry you. If you have the ability, you can become the wife of a rich family. But with the ugly words in your head, no matter whose house you go to, it will be good or bad in the future.
It has nothing to do with Qiu Mansion."
After Qiu Wuhen heard this, he thought about it and said, "Then they have stopped now?"
Zhu Qi snorted and said: "After all, I am still afraid of my Linglong and Mrs. Liu. How afraid are I of my sister-in-law? I don't think this is a long-term solution. When you come back, you should think of a long-term solution. Fifteen years old
We can discuss the marriage, but the dowry thing is really troublesome."
Qiu Wuhen snorted and said: "I don't care what others think about what we say. I have always been able to do as many things as I want. If they are good and sensible, Jinsong and I will marry them well."
If not, why should I work so hard on myself? It may not be a good outcome in the end."
Zhu Qi nodded in agreement, and the two of them continued to drink and stopped talking about the filial piety of these parents.
When talking about the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, Zhu Qi said: "Don't we know each other when we meet? The old man is very nice. His surname is Fu. This minister has been a veteran of the Ministry of Finance for more than ten years. I married him.
This daughter was born to one of his concubines. She is already eighteen years old this year. The husband she chose is Xie Yuangong from Qiuwei this year, which is quite good. Although this scholar has no background, his writing is quite impressive.
He also expected to be nominated for the gold medal in the next year's national examination! Therefore, Mr. Fu had a unique vision and saw this clearly. Before he could achieve great success, he promised his daughter to him first, so as not to be ranked number one on the gold medal list in the future.
I'm afraid there will be more people fighting for it, and it may not be his daughter's turn."
Qiu Wuhen said: "No way, she is the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. After all, she is also the son of a noble official. How can a poor scholar be interested in her?"
"You don't know something. The daughter of Fu Shangshu is not only fat, but also has a bad temper. Otherwise, why would she have delayed her appointment until she was eighteen years old? It's also a scholar who has no background. Otherwise, with his character,
I may not like this girl."
Qiu Wuhen smiled and said: "Perhaps he has a father-in-law like the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance. Regardless of whether he can be named in the gold list in the future, at least his official career will not be too bad, and he can save many years of hard work! Compared with ordinary people, he is more capable
progress."
"What you said is interesting. Maybe this is what he has in mind. Otherwise, to be honest, in my opinion, anyone who has the courage to marry his daughter is definitely not an ordinary person."
After saying that, the two of them laughed, and Zhu Qi then said: "Forget it, let's stop talking about this girl behind our back. If people hear it, they will ridicule us."
The next day he did not go to the Yamen, because according to the regulations of the imperial court, if you go on a long business trip, you can have two days to rest after coming back. Therefore, Qiu Wuhen went to the Pingren Department for a walk, checked in, and then went home to rest.
Already.
After returning to the yard, I went to Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su's yard to say hello as usual. Seeing that they looked very good, I exchanged a few words and thought that while the weather was nice, I would take my wife to visit Liu's house. After all, the prince's family is his own.
I have been there yesterday, and I still want to go to Liu's house today. The weather is getting colder and colder. Early in the morning, the cold wind is blowing, but I have to go out. Some people are so sophisticated that they have to go out.
This is how courtesy should always be treated.
Fortunately, Liniang had already prepared gifts in advance. The Liu family has a big business and does not need to prepare very good things. In the six months since she left home, the family has made some progress with the help of the Liu family and the prince. In addition, Liniang and Liu Qi are both extremely talented.
