Su Yunniang sighed before she spoke and lowered her eyebrows: "As for Mother Guo, I saw some changes in my face."
"You kid, why are you staring at me?" Chen Yu smiled.
Su Yunniang raised her head: "Mom, I'm also very surprised. Mother Guo's identity is not a servant. Mrs. Li didn't expect it? Or Yulian didn't expect it? Besides, even if Li Sizhong doesn't care about the affairs of the back house, he still has to ask about it, right?
"
Chen Yu nodded slightly.
"Even if Mother Guo does this voluntarily, she must follow the rules." Su Yunniang leaned on Chen Yu's shoulder: "I'm afraid that I won't go close. It's okay to see flowers in the mist. If you are really there, you will be completely different."
What should I do?"
Chen Yu raised her hand and patted Su Yunniang's arm: "Yunniang, there is not so much romance in life at home, it's all trivial things. It seems that the old lady of the Li family doesn't care about the affairs of the back house, but her identity is
No one can get past there. Yulian is a smart person. You will definitely hand over the power of running the house after you pass through. And if you are the head of the house, remember to treat Mother Guo well."
Su Yunniang nodded.
"Yulian is already fifteen years old. It is normal to discuss marriage after this age. As a stepmother, you must not make arrangements too early, but you can discuss Yulian's dowry with Li Sizhong before taking over the family.
, no matter how much it is, it’s all clear. We girls from the Su family still don’t look down upon the three melons and two dates in their hands. Your dowry will be rich. When the time comes, you will take it into your own hands to manage it, and you will have to use it when you have children in the future.
." Chen Yu paused for a moment and then said: "The two young masters are five years old. If they had not been delayed at Cui's house, they would have been enlightened at the age of three. You must teach them carefully and have rules with clear rewards and punishments. Treat the children
You have to have a loving mother's heart, but you can't be afraid of other people's words and be too timid to take matters into your own hands. On the contrary, you are harming the two young masters."
Su Yunniang kept Chen Yu's words in mind.
Chen Yu picked up the tea and took a sip to moisten her lips: "Li Sizhong's back house is very clean. He has a mother, a daughter and two sons. These are his relatives. As his wife, you are aboveboard in doing things, and the sesame and mung bean matters are also
It must be put on the table so that Mrs. Li can see it clearly. No matter what she says, this is how it will be done. As for the girl Yulian."
Thinking of Li Yulian, Chen Yu rubbed his forehead: "Yulian is a very sensible person. As long as you have no selfish intentions, she will not embarrass you. After all, my mother has her business in her hands. If it is because of her family,
The Su family has been offended by trivial matters, and I don't care what their status is."
"Mother, Yulian told me about her marriage today. She said that there are matchmakers coming to ask for marriage. One is from a local wealthy family, but he does not have an official status. If he marries someone, it is regarded as a downtrodden marriage. There is also a matchmaker.
The matchmaker for the marriage is none other than Miss Lin Er." Su Yunniang said.
Chen Yu raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Yunniang: "Lin Junyan? She must be from the capital?"
Su Yunniang nodded: "Yulian didn't say much, and I didn't have the nerve to ask."
"It's okay if you don't ask. Mom won't ask about Yulian's marriage. Our family can't reach into the back house of the Li family, even if you become the mistress of the Li family." Chen Yu leaned on the soft pillow.
: "I guess, your third brother is already outside the door."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Sanlang's voice came: "Mother, my son wants to see you."
Su Yunniang looked at Chen Yu in surprise, and Chen Yu asked her to open the door.
When Su Sanlang entered the door, he first bowed to Chen Yu. After sitting down, he glanced at Su Yunniang and then said: "Mom, Sizhong Jin'er mentioned the wedding date in his words and wanted to get married in May or June. Do you think you are in a hurry?
"
Chen Yu smiled: "I can keep my composure, that's good."
If they really had to hurry up and get married after the first month of the year, the Su family would be caught off guard.
Su Sanlang poured himself a cup of tea: "I have also thought about it. After the Chinese New Year, I will go to Lecheng Mansion to study. After Yun Niang gets married, I will be with you as my third brother, so I will not be wronged."
"Wait a minute." Chen Yu sat up, took out a box from the bedside cabinet, and handed it to Su Sanlang: "See if you are satisfied with it."
Su Sanlang doubtfully took the box and opened it. There was a thin piece of paper inside. He took it out and took a closer look. Su Sanlang was stunned: "Mom, is this the house deed?"
"Well, you can just go and live in there directly. We will provide two servants there to serve you. You also need a book boy by your side. Let Liangxiu organize these things." Chen Yu said: "As for the opening of Sihai in Lecheng Mansion,
Don't be anxious about the embroidery workshop. If you win the election this year, I'm afraid many people will give you gifts. Then we should clearly mark the price to buy a shop."
Su Sanlang looked at Chen Yu in disbelief: "Mom, have you been ready?"
"That's right." Chen Yu didn't want to tell Su Sanlang that the Empress's generosity was not limited to the Lecheng Mansion's house. There were houses and several shops in the seven places in Dai Viet Kingdom governed by the Lecheng Mansion.
Su Sanlang raised his head and wiped his sweat: "If my son has your vision, how can he not show any improvement after ten years of being a scholar?"
"You have changed a lot in the past year. What do you look back on? When you are moving forward." Chen Yu added: "Since you are going to Lecheng Mansion after the new year, Liangxiu must go to the embroidery shop in Qingniu County in advance.
Fang, please explain what you are doing and ask a shopkeeper to take care of it later."
Mentioning this, Su Yunniang said: "Mother, can sixth brother go over and take charge of the restaurant?"
"Yes, don't worry about this. We still need an appraisal. This restaurant is not paid for by my mother, it is your own business. Furthermore, you can also ask the shopkeeper to come back and take a look in a few months.
The accounts are not bad either.”
Su Yunniang shook her head: "Just give it to Sixth Brother!"
Chen Yu smiled and did not continue. Instead, she asked Su Yunniang to send some snacks and hot tea to Mrs. Li. The visitor was a guest and it was important to treat her thoughtfully.
Su Yunniang knew that her mother wanted to talk to her third brother, so she got up and went out.
"Did Li Sizhong mention spring plowing?" Chen Yu asked.
Su Sanlang nodded. He came here because of this. He held his knees with both hands: "Mom, Li Sizhong said that Lecheng Mansion has three thousand acres of fertile land for growing corn. This really shocked me. There are so many fields.
How much grain is needed?”
Chen Yu also felt that it was too much. After all, the imperial court also needed a lot of grain, and Qingniu County also needed grain. It might not be enough for the Su family to use all the grain they had.
You can't have an endless supply of grain at home, even though Chen Yu does have as much as he needs.
"There is no need to rush this matter. The spring and March months are the time for farming. The further north you go, the later it will be. The imperial court will not announce the first month without news. The grains brought back can be compressed as much as possible. Lecheng Mansion also
We won't give you so many grains. Our Su family is in Qingniu County." Chen Yu raised her eyelids and looked at Su Sanlang: "Besides, the grains in Lecheng Mansion are one of our Yun Niang's dowries."
Su Sanlang's eyes lit up and he raised his thumb: "Mom! This move of yours is really good! It's really good!"
Qingyi said: I have started to make updates, the update time is uncertain, I will post it as soon as it is written.
