Chapter 638： This is not too much to ask!

Chapter 638: This request is not too much!

Especially Baozhu, she especially likes corn cakes and ate three or four of them in a row. Mrs. Jia also likes the soft texture of corn cakes.

In the front yard, Mr. Jia Er didn’t like wine, so he finished his meal quickly.

Li Laoer asked him to go for a walk in the hot spring valley to relax and eat.

When Mrs. Li heard about it, she also invited Mrs. Jia to pick fruits in the orchard.

This is a novelty, Mrs. Jia happily agreed.

Jiayin took Baozhu to see her pony, and even let Shui Ling lead the horse and walk around the yard several times with Baozhu on its back.

The excited Baozhu turned red and shouted to go out.

Mammy He hurriedly followed, and all the way to the orchard, Baozhu got off the horse and went to pick and eat the fruits.

Mrs. Wen was pregnant, and Wenjuan's belly was even bigger. It was difficult for her to go up the mountain, so she stayed at home.

There was something minor going on in the second village. Xiaocui called for it and Tao Hongying went to deal with it.

Mrs. Wen took this opportunity and asked Mrs. Jia Er about the girl Wan'er she met the day before.

Mrs. Jia Er only has one niece, and because her sister-in-law is in poor health, her niece has already taken charge of the family, so she loves her very much.

The day before yesterday, the boy from the Li family met his niece by chance. After she returned home, she was thinking about it.

To be honest, my niece’s marriage is a bit embarrassing.

Although the Xing family was prosperous and upright, her eldest brother was just a book repairman.

Originally, this job was considered noble, but now that we are trapped in the south of the Yangtze River, this job can't help the emperor to stabilize the country, let alone resist the barbarians and regain the lost territory. It is really useless.

Furthermore, her sister-in-law is not in good health and there is a little boy at home.

If anyone marries a niece, he will have to take care of his father-in-law's family and recruit his brother-in-law. No matter how you think about it, it will be a heavy burden.

Hence, wealthy and powerful people don’t dare to think about it, and their niece cannot marry into it.

Even if you get married and suffer misfortune, your family will not be able to support you.

But if you marry your niece to a low-level official, or even a merchant, whose family background is not as good as that of the Xing family, it will really be buried.

In this way, there are some things that are too high and too low to be achieved.

At this time, the Li family suddenly came into her sight. No matter how she thought about it, she thought it was a good opportunity.

First of all, the second wife of the Li family has the title of earl.

Li Jiaren is the eldest son of the second wife. He is good at studying and good-looking. He will also be an earl in the future. When his niece marries, he will be a proper concubine.

Furthermore, Li Jiaren's mother passed away. Even if Uncle Li married again in the future, it would be to fill a house, and he would not dare to put on airs with his eldest son's wife.

The niece does not have to be suppressed and bullied by her mother-in-law!

Finally, everything she saw in the Li family, old and young, was harmonious, and life was prosperous. Her niece would definitely be treated well when she got married!

Thinking about this, Mrs. Jia's second wife had a positive meaning in her words when she talked to Mrs. Wen.

“My niece just got haircut this spring, and the family is planning another marriage for her, but there is no suitable one at the moment.

"This child is sensible, and I feel sorry for her. I want to find a good family for her who knows her roots well." Mrs. Wen was happy to hear this and said, "This is the truth. A woman's marriage is like reincarnation for the second time. She must choose carefully.

"Not only should you look at the man, but you should also look at whether the family is harmonious. It is best to be like the Li family, where people are prosperous, work together, and life is prosperous!"

Mrs. Jia Er nodded and was about to speak when she suddenly remembered something and looked a little embarrassed, so she sighed and said: "Actually, my niece is also a child with a stubborn temper and has her own ideas, otherwise her marriage would have been decided long ago. That's right. It’s been delayed until now because of a small request.”

“What’s the small request?” Mrs. Wen asked curiously.

Even Wenjuan, who had been smiling and silent, looked at Mrs. Jia Er.

Mrs. Jia Er said: "My eldest brother has only married one sister-in-law in his whole life. He is very affectionate and affectionate. My niece sees it and hopes to find a husband who will not take concubines. The husband and wife can live together and live wholeheartedly.

"But this is not an easy matter. Even if others don't tell me, our master already respects me very much and is devoted to the education of his children, so he has taken two concubines! I'm afraid there are too few men in the world who are willing to be devoted. "

Mrs. Wen was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "I don't think it's a big deal. Miss Wan'er doesn't have high expectations at all. Why do you sigh?"

This time, it was Mrs. Jia's turn to be surprised and asked: "Isn't this a high request? Several marriage proposals were discussed before, but in the end there was no news because of this request."

Mrs. Wen replied: "Perhaps it is really difficult to put this matter in other people's homes, but to find a truly suitable home, it is nothing at all.

“For example, in Aunt Li’s house, neither the uncle nor the Jiaren brothers are allowed to take concubines. Aunt Li said that taking concubines will easily lead to chaos in the family.

“Even if the uncle and the eldest man do not remarry their wives, they would rather have Aunt Li take care of everything than keep a concubine.”

Mrs. Jia Er's eyes were very bright. She was actually testing it. She didn't expect that the Li family really had a rule against taking concubines. Now she found a treasure.

She wished she could immediately agree to the marriage for her niece, but she didn't discuss it with her brother and sister-in-law.

Therefore, she could only suppress her excitement and said: "So, Aunt Li is really wise. If there are too many wives and concubines at home, people's hearts will be confused, and life will naturally be stumbling.

“I hope my Wan’er will have such good luck in the future and find a good husband’s family like the Li family.”

"It will definitely happen," Mrs. Wen said happily, but also did not speak too absolutely, and continued: "It all depends on fate. When fate comes, it will naturally fall into place. If fate does not come, don't be afraid, just take your time and look for it again. ”

Mrs. Jia Er nodded and quickly changed the topic.

Besides, Li Laoer accompanied Mr. Jia Er and wandered around the valley, orchards and villages.

Walking to the side of the workshop in the second village, Mr. Jia Er frowned as he watched the wounded soldiers working in and out on crutches.

Li Laoer saw him and took him into the workshop.

Several veterans who were seriously injured and unable to go to the orchard to pick fruits have been cleaning up the workshop yard these days. When Li Laoer came in, they all greeted him with courtesy.

Li Laoer asked about trivial matters, and then said: "In two days, when the fruits are picked, our workshop will start making noodles. If you want to rest by then, I'm afraid you won't be able to. Taking advantage of these few days, you can also Take some rest and don’t be too tired.”

"No, uncle, we are not tired." One of the wounded soldiers said with a smile: "We are all anxious to start work early! Yesterday, Mr. Marquis said personally that he will give us a wife next year, so we can make more money. My son’s wages are used to buy betrothal gifts.”

"Oh, really?" Li Laoer also smiled and said: "The Marquis said it, so it must be true. In the spring of next year, let the pig house raise a few more big fat pigs. When you get married, you can have a good time. ”

The wounded soldiers thanked them one after another and worked even harder.

Master Jia Er couldn't hold it back and asked a wounded soldier, "Didn't the imperial court give you money as a pension? Why are you still working here? Isn't it hard?"
