Since Yu Xi came to visit the Qin family and the Xu family, he has been invited to many posts. But Yuxi didn't take it, in case she refused politely. She took the post of the Qin family and the Zhao family. It wasn't that the two families were very powerful in Yucheng, but to find out the truth. As for other families, there is no need to get to know them in a hurry. When she marries Yunqing, she will definitely deal with her often.
Yuxi is doing embroidery work in the room. She listens to pomegranate and says, "Miss, grandma Zhao has come to see you."
Yuxi put down the needle and thread, stood up and said, "please come in and sit down." Last time I met, grandma Zhao impressed her very well. This time I came to visit you on my own initiative. It is obvious that they have made up their minds. In that case, she would like to make more friends.
Grandma Zhao said with a smile, "sister Han, didn't I bother you?"
Yuxi asked zisu to make a cup of tea and said with a smile, "what's that said by the second grandma? I'm not familiar here and I don't know a few people. I'm glad you can come to see me! " It's a good time to ask grandma Zhao about something to save herself from being blind.
Zhao er's grandmother, seeing Yu Xi's words, was also sincere, and she laughed: "what is her name? It's strange to listen to her. If you don't dislike her, we will match her sister."
Yuxi followed the good example and immediately called for her sister. One more friend is better than one more enemy. Moreover, she really needs to enter the circle of Madame through one person. There is a saying that it's not bad to have a good wife and a good husband at home. A good wife is not only responsible for housework and raising children, but also has to strive to broaden the circle of communication and seek information.
Tu smiled and said, "I used to regret that I didn't have a sister. Today I finally have no regrets." Tu's family has only one elder brother and younger brother. They don't have any direct sisters, but there are many cousins.
The two spent the morning talking like this, saying that they were talking. Basically, Yuxi was asking and TU was answering. Tu is from Xinping city. He has been married to Yucheng for several years and is very familiar with it. Therefore, I know more about the customs and customs of Ganzhou and Yucheng, which Yuxi lacks. Although Han Jianye has been in Yucheng for half a year, he is confused about these things. Therefore, it is impossible to expect Han Jianye.
A morning went by unconsciously. At noon, in Yuxi's efforts to retain, Tu family stay to use lunch.
Lunch is not rich, but it is not bitter. Six dishes and one soup. Six dishes are made by white mother. White mother's cooking skill can only be said to be average, which is incomparable with aunt Guo. But the pot of Cordyceps chicken soup, but let Tu's praise: "sister, not afraid of your joke, I drink a lot of chicken soup, but I haven't drunk such delicious chicken soup! Don't know how you do it? " Learn it well, and then cook a pot of Chicken Soup for my mother-in-law to drink and do my filial piety.
"Yuxi said with a smile," this chicken soup is mainly made of good materials. In addition, it's not difficult to pay attention to the fire and time
Corydalis in the audience are some speechless, not complex? When selecting materials, many precautions will not be mentioned. When cooking soup, it's a fire and a gentle fire, and time has to be pinched. It's just a pot of soup. I don't know how much time it took.
Tu's hearing this startled: "is this chicken soup made by my sister?"
Yuxi smiled and nodded, saying, "I learned to make some soup with the cook at home, but it's not complicated." Yuxi will not really cook, not with identity, but she is very busy now, where there is time to cook soup. This pot of soup is just cooked according to Yuxi's orders. The real operation is the white lady.
After going back, Tu said to Mrs. Zhao, "I used to hear that girls in Beijing were not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting and poetry, but also in everything. I didn't think so at first. Today I know that I'm a frog at the bottom of the well." Before she heard that girls in the capital could do anything and despised them for a while. Everything, is it still human? Well, today she met a wonderful flower.
Mrs. Zhao said with a smile, "why does the daughter-in-law say this all of a sudden?"
Tu said, "you don't know, ma'am, Miss Han. She can not only write and draw, but also embroider delicately, and cook properly inside and outside. She is also a first-class cook." she said what she saw and heard in Yuxi for a while, and then said, "it's true. After living for so many years, she's the first time to see a girl of outstanding appearance!"
Zhao's grandmother asked incredulously, "isn't it fooled?"
Tu shook his head and said, "this is not the one to fool. What's more, there's no need to fool me? " Unless it's a fool, what are you going to fool her about? There will always be a day when lies are broken.
"Miss Han studied with her husband when she was four years old. She studied for five years," said Mrs Zhao. It's not surprising that there have been nurturing mothers in the palace who have taught them for years. " Mrs. Zhao's family also has officials in the capital, so she knows a lot.
Yuxi didn't know that everyone was talking about her. He would be bowing his head and doing embroidery seriously! Well, she has done three times before and after making clothes for her future husband.
June 6th is the day of employment of the cloud family.
Nowadays, people pay much attention to dowry, even in the border cities where people are more open. Yunqing didn't understand this either, so he specially asked the wife of general Fu Jian, deputy general of Yucheng, to help him. When buying the dowry, Yunqing also told Madame Fu to buy more practical things.
On this day, Han Jianye stayed to greet the guests. As for the women's side, Yuxi said hello. Although she has a good relationship with Zhao er's grandmother, it's better for Yunqing to avoid the things before Zhao's family.
In fact, Yuxi didn't know until later. It turned out that she wanted more. In fact, Mrs. Zhao didn't agree to marry her daughter to Yunqing at all, because Yunqing was in such a dangerous situation that her daughter might be widowed at any time. But General Zhao was determined to marry this family, and she had no choice but to try her best to enlighten her daughter. Later, the marriage didn't work out. She couldn't be happy! Where can not be happy.
The dowry of the cloud family is also very rich. Two pairs of gold bull, two pairs of gold dragon and Phoenix bracelets, two pairs of gold dragon and Phoenix Zan hairpins, and gold earrings, necklaces, gold locks, etc. are glittering, which makes people's eyes blossom. In addition, tea and wine, pancakes, three animals, fish, fruit, four-color sugar, silk and so on are all well prepared. Among the betrothal gifts, the most conspicuous is the pair of geese.
Yuxi asked people to send wild geese to the house and said with a smile, "this is the first time I have seen a live wild goose!" When they were hired in the capital, they were all replaced by geese or livestock. They didn't really send wild geese. Because it's not easy to catch.
After looking at the bride price list, Yuxi nodded and said, "not bad?" She thought Yunqing would not save money like Han Jianye! Now it seems that there is still some success in money.
In fact, Yuxi is really wrong. These dowry gifts are not saved by Yunqing himself, but prepared by Yun Laozi. On that day, Yunqing came out of the capital, and Mr. Yun took out his family. The money has always been kept by Huo Changqing. This time, Huo Changqing took the money out of the purchase.
Looking at the bride price, zisu said: "besides gold or gold, and the workmanship is rough, how can such jewelry be worn out? If it's in the capital, girls have to make people laugh! " I don't know. I thought my girl married a rich man!
Yu Xi listened to this, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, and said without expression: "do you think these dowries will make people laugh? What's the joke? Is Yunqing a upstart? " Zisu occasionally complains that she doesn't know. From the prosperous place in the capital to the barren place in the border city, it's not very normal at first, and it will take a long time. She can give zisu time to adapt, but she can't tolerate zisu's disdain for Yunqing.
Zisu's heart jumped and she lowered her head and said, "girl, I'm wrong."
"Yuxi said in a cold voice:" this time, if there is another time, you don't blame me for not being kind Zisu is loyal to her, but if she doesn't act properly, she can't stay.
Zisu's face is white.
After zisu and Yuxi went back to the house, she sighed: "Yunqing is the future husband of the girl, so you say that the girl is naturally angry." Zisu said these words in a disdainful tone. It's strange that the girl is not angry.
Zisu wiped her tears and said, "I know, but I just feel that the girl is wronged." The food and clothing here are no better than the respectable mother of the government.
It's because of her love for so many years that Corydalis persuades her. Otherwise, she won't talk nonsense: "sister zisu, you have to remember your identity. You are the girl's servant girl, not the girl's sister. It's your duty to serve the girl well. I shouldn't worry about the rest. " In fact, she also thinks it's a pity for her to marry Yunqing, but what can she do? The imperial edict gives marriage, but it can't escape from marriage, so we have to work hard to adapt.
When zisu heard this, she stood still.
Corydalis looked at the perilla and said, "sister perilla, how do you think about it?" If you still can't figure it out, the girl won't stay her any longer. In fact, this is not what Corydalis would like to see.
In the afternoon, Han Jianye hands Yuxi a jade plate. Well, Han Jianye says, "Yunqing asked me to give it to you."
Yuxi takes a look at it. The pattern of the jade pendant is right. Well, this jade pendant should be considered as a token of engagement.
They all sent the keepsake of engagement, so I have to express how. Yuxi takes out one of the clothes she made for Yunqing and says, "send it to him tomorrow!" Clothes are made of fine cloth. This kind of clothes has one advantage: it absorbs sweat and ventilates the wind.
Han Jianye deliberately joked: "Yuxi, only for Yunqing, what about the second brother?" Watching Yuxi not reject this marriage, he is also very happy.
Yu Xibai glanced at Han Jianye and said, "if you don't, I'll let Han Ji deliver."
Han Jianye said happily, "why not send it? I'm going to deliver it now. I'm sure Yunqing won't be able to find north
To Han Jianye's disappointment, Yun Qing didn't look at his clothes with great joy, instead, Tian didn't say a word. After all these years, I want to have someone make clothes for him for the first time! This feeling, this taste, can't say.
Han Jianye saw this, clapped Yunqing on the shoulder, and said, "if you marry my four younger sisters, you will wait for happiness later."
Huo Changqing knew the clothes Yuxi had made for Yunqing, and he couldn't help saying, "this girl, she is intentional. After that, treat her well. " In any case, to have this mind proves that it is ready to live with Yunqing wholeheartedly.
Yunqing nodded and said, "I will." In fact, when Yunqing has free time, it will pass. Unfortunately, Yuxi didn't see him because of the big trouble between men and women.
