When the wedding between the Wang family and the He family is completed, New Year's Eve will come.
Compared with last year, Shen’s house has added a lot of vitality this year. In addition, there are many in-laws in Beijing, and there are constant banquets. Although Zhu Yunming and Chen Yue were obsessed with preparing for the exam before, they also came out for social events during the New Year.
The three juniors of the Shen family, the fourth brother is still in their infancy, and only Shen Rui and Sister Yu are following Xu to handle New Year's Day.
Sister Yu didn't talk much, but she acted like Xu and was very impressed by her eyes. Xu was quite pleased. Shen Rui felt more sincere in love with this sister.
Shen Rui gave the gold collar and silver croaker I bought before New Year's Eve and gave it to Sister Yu.
Sister Yu has prepared a new set of clothes for her cousin to celebrate the New Year’s greetings.
Their cousins are close to each other, and several elders in the family see it and each has their own thoughts.
In the eyes of the eldest master and his wife, Shen Rui did not alienate the second wife and the second wife from the early years of grudges, and he was a broad-minded person.
Speaking of which, Sister Yu is just a concubine daughter and cousin, and she will go out in less than two years. As long as Shen Rui takes care of her in the future, nothing can help Shen Rui.
Shen Rui’s sincerity is particularly valuable to Sister Yu without considering grudges and gains and losses.
The third master did not know Shen Rui's past thirty years ago, but thought that Shen Rui could treat his cousin well and would not be wrong to the fourth brother in the future. After all, his relationship with the elders of the third bedroom is much closer than that of the second bedroom.
The third wife is a woman, thinking carefully, and she said to her husband: "Give Sister Yu things is nothing. Brother Rui is the brother, so it is a good deal to have a gift with her cousin. It is rare to be this kind of caring... The uncle and sister-in-law Good vision, Brother Rui really can be the eldest son..."
Shen Rui dissipated fifty taels of gold in one breath, and felt distressed. In addition to setting up a full collar for Sister Yu, the rest planned to make a dowry book for Dong Xi and Liu Ya each.
Although the Ming Dynasty had requirements for uniforms, gold and jade ornaments were not allowed to be worn unless the imperial edict was issued. It can start with Emperor Chenghua favoring Concubine Wan and advocating extravagance in the palace, and the upward and downward effect, and the folk luxury style gradually began.
Not to mention the female family members of an official family, they no longer strictly follow the law when wearing gold and jade on their heads; even if they are common people and merchants, it is common to wear gold and silver.
However, Shen Rui asked Dong Xi and Liu Ya to buy gold jewelry more to pay more attention to the preservation of the value of gold.
Unexpectedly, Dong Xi took the initiative to buy such gift accessories, and she and Liu Ya each picked two taels of things.
One tael of gold and thirteen taels of silver, which is calculated to be twenty-six taels of silver per person, plus a set of five or six taels of silver jewelry per person, each person is only thirty taels of silver.
Dong Xi served him carefully for more than a year, and married longevity. Both of them were orphans and had no relatives. Shen Rui was so stingy. Liu Ya was so stingy. How could he not be disliked when he said he was kissing in the future?
But Dong Xi knew the rules and was not greedy, so Shen Rui no longer asked her to do it himself. He just made up his mind and waited for Dong Xi to get married, and then privately supplemented her and Changshou.
Whether it is before or after Dongxi and Changshou, he has to use his confidant.
After New Year's Eve, it is the first month.
In addition to the Shen family's relatives, the relationships in the officialdom are more prosperous than last year.
As the elder of the master, Shen Rui, the legitimate son of the Shen family, was not idle for a moment. He either entertained relatives and friends at home, or went out for social events with the elder of the master, and occasionally traveled to Xu.
He grew one year older, Shen Rui was fourteen years old, and his body was five feet and three inches long, just like a handsome young man.
Many people asked about Shen Rui's marriage, and when they learned that he had appointed the eldest daughter of Grand Secretary Yang's family before the New Year, they were all very sorry.
Who doesn't know that the Shen family had a thousand miles of fertile land in their early years? It is no secret that Chen Luo was dismissed last year. Now the Shen family has a heir, Master Shen is promoted, and many children of the Shen clan have become talented. This is a prosperous scene
There are not only two families who are willing to marry the Shen family.
The fourth brother has only been over a hundred days, so of course no one will ask. The one who inquired about the second wife's heir Chen Jue and his concubine's daughter Yujie.
After Chen Jue entered the second room, although he stayed in Beijing for more than half a year, he rarely went out for social events because he studied with the third master, and not many people have seen Chen Jue.
However, Sister Yu followed Xu before and after the New Year and often went out.
In addition, although she was born in a illegitimate family, she was the daughter of a fourth-rank official, and the niece of Shangshu. Many wives also asked Sister Yu for her illegitimate sons and younger generations.
Xu also spoke through the words and chose a family for his niece, not picking up family members, and asking the other party not to pick the legitimate and illegitimate wife, and they also need to be the children of scholars.
This is also a pity for Sister Yu. It is very easy to choose a second-rank or third-rank family's concubine son and grandson, but it is difficult to be a concubine's daughter-in-law. The two mother-in-law above is rare to get the help of the family, but instead, it is necessary to be a cow. The horse serves as an arm for the legitimate brothers.
Even if the family who could suppress the legitimate family came to propose marriage, Xu would not dare to marry his niece.
As for the children of scholars, it is also for the Shen family to have more in-laws in the future. Brothers Shen Rui and Chen Jue will help more in the future.
Those wives are also tactful and will stop talking about the concubine's son, but only mention their nephews and nephews.
But apart from the merchants, how many people don’t value legitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegiti dowry.
How would Xu consider such a candidate?
Although Sister Yu is only thirteen years old and has two years to go to school, and the marriage is not urgent, Xu is still a little upset after this test.
She was also aged to know her destiny. She worked a lot before and after the New Year, and was depressed by Sister Yu's marriage, so she felt a little unhappy.
Seeing this, the master said, "If it really doesn't work, I'll write to my second brother and write Sister Yu in Qiao's name... This is the only girl in the Shen family generation, and she is also a filial and sensible person. We can't be vague about marriage... …”
Xu sighed, "I thought about this before, but that's just a self-deception... When we get married, who can fool us? It's useless to register a name for a family that really chooses a legitimate wife."
The master thought for a while and said, "If it really doesn't work, I will choose a son-in-law from a poor juren. That's how the great master chose a son-in-law for his third sister..."
Xu shook his head and said, "How many people in this world are nostalgic like Uncle Yang? Besides, the Yang family was just a fall in the family back then, not completely without foundation..."
Sister Yu has been in the land for thirteen years. Her mother asked less about her, but the eldest uncle Xu asked more about her. In addition, when she got older, she was afraid of being lonely and lonely. The master went to the yamen every day, and Shen Rui went to the daily life. If you want to go to school, Sister Yu is by Xu's side, and the relationship between the mother and the mother is getting deeper and deeper.
When he saw Sister Yu truly respecting Shen Rui, and Shen Rui could also love her cousin, Xu had an idea. Even though the Shen family had passed the heir and the third wife gave birth to a fourth brother, he had only The three cousins are still thin.
Chen Jue has good academic qualifications, but he is still a troublesome and has a mother and father, who is not a wise man. He can take on the pool of second houses and is better if he doesn't drag down Shen Rui. There are only a few brothers in the third house. Yue was born again by his sick father, and it is hard to say what will happen in the future. At least within twenty years, he will have to live by a long house.
As the eldest son of the eldest son, Shen Rui couldn't even pass the exam, so he worked too hard in the future.
If Sister Yu became the daughter of the eldest wife and told a proper marriage, Shen Rui would have many sisters and sons-in-law here. For Sister Yu, it would be a good thing to use the eldest wife like Qiao to rely on her.
Just because the second master had Sister Yu, his biological daughter, Xu even had selfish thoughts, but he suppressed them.
However, when he saw the "wrong melon and jujube" who came to inquire about his marriage, Xu's thought of leaving again.
She thought for a while and said, "Master, even if you remember the legitimate, you will inevitably be considered as a legitimate wife when you are formally married. If you adopt me, there is no need to mention the relationship between you. Even if you say it, no one will go there. Careful...
When the master heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate.
Sister Yu is his niece. In order to make a good marriage for the family, it is not a big deal to pass the eldest son's house. He is willing to prepare a dowry for his niece. But for the second wife, Chen Jue is his heir, while Sister Yu is his daughter. The master may not be willing to adopt him.
Xu also understood that the master was concerned and did not want to force him, so he said, "Or, I'd like to send a letter to my second uncle and ask me, and listen to my second uncle's opinion? There is only sister Yu in the younger generation, and I really want to marry Xiaomen Xiao. It’s really hard for people to bear it…”
Even if he has selfish intentions, Xu doesn't want to make things happen.
After all, Sister Yu has adopted the eldest wife and will be married and then married, which is a cumbersome thing. If the person she chose is promising, she can be a helper of Shen Rui; if she is a mediocre person, she may not be given back to Shen Rui in the future. Increase burden.
It's better to be consensual.
The master has been in the officialdom for a long time and knows the importance of family members' marriages.
The second wife of the Shen family is definitely not the same as the Shen family's daughter.
It really has to follow Xu's advice, whether it is for Sister Yu or the Shen family. Sister Yu's marriage will no longer be too high or low, and it will make people embarrassed, so you can choose outstanding children from a prestigious family.
The master nodded and said, "Okay, I'll write to my second brother. No matter how confused he is, he knows how to treat Sister Yu..."
When Xu heard this, the turbid air in his heart finally dissipated a lot.
Shen Rui didn’t know what Xu and the master planned, but he only knew that Xu would take Sister Yu when he went out, which meant to see him.
Although he felt that Sister Yu was still a little girl, he also knew that at this time, the girl discussed thirteenth, fourteenth, and sixth marriage were common, so he didn't talk much.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the seal was opened in the yamen, and the Daxing County Government posted a notice, and registration for this year's county examination began.
The capital is Shuntian Prefecture, Shuntian Prefecture is Yiguo Wanping County and Daxing County.
The capital city is separated from the middle, with the left half la subordinate to Wanping County and the right half la subordinate to Daxing County.
The second wife of the Shen family was born in Daxing County in Beijing, so Shen Rui had to take the county examination in Daxing County.
The county examination is held in February, with the county magistrate taking the lead in the examination, and the examination place is in the lobby of the county government.
After the county government posts a notice, students can go to the county government government’s ceremony room to register...
