Chapter 108: and the banquet of the Ho family


The Shen family rushed to the imperial capital in a lively manner.

With all her mother-in-law's family gone, it was inevitable that Shen would feel sad for a few days.

However, she was now married, had two children, her family was not rich, but there was a small surplus, and she had no worries about food and drink.

What's more, my brother went to the imperial capital to be an official, and he was looking for a bright future.

Looking at Bishui County, the Shen family is now one of the best.

Thinking of this, Mrs.

Shen became happy again.

The main thing is that life is going smoothly, and there is really nothing to feel sad about.

Mrs.

Shen worked hard to prepare for the hairpin banquet for the three girls.

The place was not particular, so she just copied the way Mrs.

He celebrated her birthday, setting out several tables of wine and inviting the family members to have a meal.

Just one day of fun.

The same is true for ordinary girls' haircut etiquette.

Of course, there are exceptions.

He Qi from the fifth aunt's family in Dongtou, a well-known stingy family member of the He family, is also Xue Qianzhen's apprentice.

He is two months older than the third girl.

The fifth aunt's family has a similar family background to He Gong's family, and there is also a second son outside.

There are three hundred acres of farmland and a small shop in the county to earn some living money.

However, the fifth aunt has always been stingy and patriarchal, so He Qi's banquet was not organized at all, or perhaps it was organized, but the clan members did not hear about it.

Moreover, He Qi and the third girl are both disciples of Xue Qianzhen.

Both girls are good at embroidery and are similar in age.

Therefore, it is inevitable for people to make comparisons in their minds.

In particular, the fifth aunt brought her family over to eat the third girl's food and wine.

She had three daughters and one son.

He Cang was in school and He Qi had to do embroidery work at home, so in the future, the remaining two daughters brought ,and The fifth aunt came with her parents-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law and other large family members.

Her father-in-law ranked third in the clan, so he was called Mr.

He San.

Some people in the clan called him third uncle, third uncle or third grandfather. .

However, the third girl's celebration of hairpin wine is different from that of He Lao Niang's birthday party.

When He Lao Niang celebrates her birthday, old people of the same generation as He Lao Niang who are familiar with her will naturally come and join in the fun.

For example, the third girl's wine and hairpin wine mostly come from the female family members of the same generation as the Shen family.

There are only a few men, and even fewer from the grandparents.

The one who is of the same generation as Mrs.

He is the third wife, the fifth aunt's mother-in-law.

He Lao Niang has been annoying this family for a long time, and no one else.

Every time He Lao Niang celebrates her birthday, this family comes the most complete and gives the most meager gifts, which makes He Lao Niang very angry.

When Mrs.

Shen posted the post, Mrs.

He forgot to tell Mrs.

Shen not to invite this family.

Now that they are all here, it’s the big day.

Mrs.

He doesn’t want to have a fit and just kicks people out.

Although it is not easy to have an attack, Mrs.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

He can still tell someone's shortcomings.

She smiled and said, "The girls are all grown up, why didn't Sister Qi come?

She and our three girls have always been very good."

The third wife smiled and said, "Qi Yatou has received some work from her Aunt Li.

The owner is in a hurry and has no time to spare."

He Lao Niang smiled, "I remember that the two girls are about the same age.

How old is Qi Yatou?

When will she get her haircut?

I have to give Qi Yatou a backup gift.

That girl is very capable, and I am very interested in such a capable and motivated girl. ” The third wife felt a little uncomfortable on her face, and the fifth aunt smiled, "I originally said that I would do something big for the girl, but her temper is the most frugal.

She always said that her brother spends a lot of money studying, and my family has nothing but fish and meat.

I bought it and forced her to return it.”

The third wife immediately accepted her daughter-in-law's words and smiled, "My child is so sensible, what can I do?"

It's as if other people's daughters are ignorant when it comes to giving birth to hair extensions.

Too many third wives will offend others.

This sentence offends most of the families who have daughters in the house.

He Lao Niang was even more serious and said, "Oh, that's it.

Children are sensible.

If you ask me, you guys are too honest.

We three girls don't want me to make a big deal, but I said, a girl's home, It's just a haircut in a lifetime.

It's really not like it if it's not lively and lively.

What's more, the children are capable and worthy of this banquet.

Like our third girl, she has been working from her Aunt Li since she was nine years old.

It is not easy for her to accept the children as Master Xue's apprentices. , and they are motivated, we as elders must know how to love them. " There is no need for others to praise her.

Mother He herself made the third girl blush with praise.

If she didn't hear it with her own ears, the third girl wouldn't believe that these words came from her great-aunt's mouth.

However, the third girl also understood that her aunt liked capable girls.

He heard Mrs.

He say again, "Especially this embroidery work, no more than anything else, is the most taxing on the eyes.

The children are young now, and if they don't know how to take care of them, they are afraid that their eyes will be damaged early.

I told the three girls that if they do half After an hour, her eyes would rest for a quarter of an hour, and she would not be asked to do any work at night.

The days would be long in the future, so how could she At this moment, Mrs.

He rudely took the reminder that He Zijin had given to the third girl as her own, and continued to summarize what her girl had said, with a loving look on her face, "I heard the doctor say, chrysanthemum tea, Lycium barbarum and cassia seed are both eye-protective, so you have to ask the girls to drink some from time to time.”

As she said that, Mrs.

He seemed to have thought of something, and said to the third girl, "Put some wolfberry seeds in your hands later, give them to your third grandma, and bring them to Sister Qi to drink.

I heard that the child often works until the middle of the night.

Well, how can this happen?

It is already dark at night, even if the lights are on, it is not as good as during the day.

Even during the day, if the light is not good, do less.

"In order to find some discomfort for the third wife, He Lao Niang.

It doesn't matter if there is some blood.

The main thing is that her family's wolfberry seeds are free of charge.

He Zijin planted them in the yard, seeded them and planted two acres of them in the field, which was enough for the whole family to drink.

The excess can be sold to traditional Chinese medicine stores after drying.

The third wife told Mrs.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

He to take advantage of the free table, and she almost died before she came up.

Fortunately, living to this age is not a fuel-saving lamp.

The third wife could still make some excuses and smiled, "Yes.

They say that the younger siblings are known to love their children.

The third girl has also reached the age of marriage.

The younger siblings are only nieces and nephews from her mother's family, so they need to prepare more for the third girl.

Marry some Makeup is good."

Mrs.

He knew that the third wife and her family were stingy to the point of being shameless.

The third wife also knew that this woman was born with an iron rooster, and she was told to pluck her hair because of this.

Word.

Unexpectedly, these words spoke directly to He Lao Niang's heart.

It was rare for He Lao Niang to be open-minded in her life.

Even if others didn't ask, she wanted to show off her feelings.

The third wife was not very lucky today.

She went out without looking at the almanac.

She originally wanted to embarrass Mrs.

He, but unexpectedly she carried the sedan back to Mrs.

He.

Mrs.

He smiled happily, with a face full of chrysanthemums and a loud voice.

It's very bright, he said, " My old sister-in-law also knows what my family is like.

I can’t afford more.

I do have twenty acres of land, which has been bought by the three girls.

We are a small family and can only afford this.

We produce a little every year. , which is enough to support the child.”

As soon as He Lao Niang said these words, all the female relatives in the house praised her again and again, saying that He Lao Niang was generous and compassionate.

These days, for an ordinary family in Bishui County, it would be good if they were willing to pay thirty or fifty taels to marry off their daughter, but it was rare for someone to accompany them to their fields.

What's more, the third girl came here alone.

Her parents' family was very poor and didn't have a single copper.

Her surname is not He, but now He is giving her twenty acres of land as a dowry, which is really a rare act of generosity.

Some people in the tribe feel that people should not be judged by their appearance, and Mrs.

He is often stingy on weekdays.

Together with the third wife, she is also known as the "Shuangshenger" of the He family.

When I heard that Mrs.

He gave two packs of snacks to Mrs.

Li of the embroidery shop, she He had to sit in the embroidery workshop and eat a packet before leaving.

It was really impressive to be so open about the important event.

Mrs.

He also pretended to be modest and said to the third wife, "I am not as big as your family, sister-in-law.

When the time comes, Sister Qi's dowry will definitely be richer than that of the third girl."

The third wife immediately called Mrs.

He to the point where she couldn't sit still.

However, she thought quickly and immediately asked, "Does the third girl have a family?"

There were several grandnephews in her natal family, and some of them were the same age as the third girl.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

When she thought that the third girl had a dowry of twenty acres of land, the third wife's heart became excited, and she could not care less about Mrs.

He's words of flattery.

He Han's mother, Mrs.

Wang, said happily, "Third aunt, you are a step late.

Fifth aunt, look, my boy is not bad."

This fifth aunt is talking about He Lao Niang.

This is how people live together in a clan.

Since clan members are also managed by different generations, there may be several families of fifth aunts.

"I also saw that the third girl was really outstanding, but my third child was still a few years younger, so I told A-Han."

He Han's eldest aunt, matchmaker Chang Shi, said with a smile, "The third girl looks good and has a good temper.

Han has studied and practiced martial arts, and they are all children with good knowledge.

It can be said that they are talented and beautiful, and are made for each other. " Mrs.

Wang smiled, "Three girls and the hairpin queen, the eighteenth of this month is a good day.

I have discussed with my aunt that we will get engaged on the eighteenth.

By then, my aunt, aunt, sister-in-law, brothers and sisters will have a lot of fun."

Immediately there was another burst of congratulations in the room.

The third girl had avoided going out when Mrs.

He was talking about her dowry.

She was not in front of him at this time, so she could avoid embarrassment and shame.

On the other hand, the third wife, the fifth aunt, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, in order to enjoy the free banquet, tortured the bitchy Mrs.

He.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law felt that the tribesmen looked at them in a wrong way.

Sun, the wife of He Heng and the mother of He Luo, also came, for no other reason than that Shen Su had won Jinshi, and her ranking was quite good, three mountains ahead of Sun's father who was also a Jinshi.

Without him, Shen Su directly entered the Hanlin Academy and became a Hanlin scholar.

Shen Su is a good person.

Although he didn't have much vacation when he returned home in fine clothes, he still visited all the people he needed to visit.

A well-known squire in Bishui County no matter how hard he tried to make some connections, even treated Shen Su to a meal together.

Got wine.

Shen Suzi was a well-rounded person.

After having a drink with the squires, he went to visit the county magistrate.

The county magistrate was also extremely polite to him.

The two of them were a seventh-rank county magistrate and a concubine of the Hanlin Academy, even though they were of similar rank. , and also know that the future future will never be the same.

What's more, the fact that Bishui County can produce a Jinshi is proof that the county magistrate is good at running the county.

Moreover, Shen Su invited He Gong to accompany him during social events, especially in Bishui County.

The He family is an old family in Bishui County, but He Gong's family is ordinary, and he himself is only a scholar.

Now that Shen Su, the brother-in-law of the Hanlin Academy, was supporting him, together with Uncle Lang, He Gong was able to gain momentum.

At least the people in Bishui County knew that his brother-in-law had to be polite when he had a brother-in-law like him.

The He family and the Shen family are serious relatives by marriage, and Shen Su was very considerate to the He Heng family and even wrote a letter of introduction to He Luo.

The person who introduced him was none other than Xue, who was introduced to him and He Gong by his brother-in-law Feng.

The university asks experts.

Shen Su was selected as a candidate for the imperial examination and as a Jinshi.

This person was indispensable for his guidance on his articles, and he was deeply admired.

The first thing Shen Suyi did when she returned home was to visit Mr.

Xue.

Mr.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Xue had a long-standing reputation.

He won the first prize at a young age.

After serving as an official for several years, he returned home and lived in seclusion.

He devoted himself to learning, and his talent spread far and wide. , Northern Liang, Western Barbarians, and Southern Vietnam all heard of his name.

Mr.

Xue has retired to seclusion, and he also has the false title of a third-grade scholar given by the imperial court.

All in all, he is a great scholar with both ability and political integrity.

Even the masters of Futai must treat Mr.

Xue with courtesy.

Mr.

Xue has such a reputation that those who want to be his disciples should forget about it.

However, Mr.

Xue does not accept disciples.

People are proud to get Mr.

Xue's guidance.

However, this gentleman is so famous that it is difficult to get acquainted with him if no one recommends him.

He Luo was a young scholar and passed the exam.

Shen Su took some time off from her busy schedule to read his article and wrote this letter of recommendation to He Luo.

This letter is truly worth thousands of gold.

Firstly, Shen Su gives face to the head of the He clan; secondly, her sister and brother-in-law can also get the care of the clan leader; thirdly, He Luo does have some spirituality.

Shen Su is not a narrow-minded person.

When he has the ability, he does not hesitate to support him. backward.

Of course, another reason is that He Heng has a good relationship with him.

Otherwise, the Chen family and he would still be relatives in a roundabout way.

Although Chen Zhi was a few years older than He Luo, he would still be young and successful.

Shen Su didn't like the Chen family and had never met Chen Zhi, so he only wrote one letter of recommendation.

The He Heng family is not stupid, and they don't publicize it, they just know it well.

Therefore, the patriarch of the He family and his family had a very good impression of Shen Su.

They loved the house and the bird, and naturally became closer to the He Gong family.

It’s the Sun family.

She used to hate He Zijin for leading her son He Luo as a child.

Now that Shen Su has been elected and the two families are on good terms, the Sun family has forgotten all about it.

She knows that the He family gave the third girl some wine.

Mrs.

Sun dressed up and came with her young daughter.

When Mrs.

Sun heard the female relatives of her tribe praising the twenty acres of land, she couldn't help but smile to herself, thinking that she was from a small place and didn't have much experience.

However, He Gong's family is only a small fortune, and it is quite good to be able to provide twenty acres of land.

Because the third girl had a rich dowry and had already made a wedding arrangement with He Han's family, the engagement ceremony was about to take place, so the wedding was quite lively.

He Lao Niang has received countless compliments, and most of them are sincere this time.

The whole family did not expect that He Lao Niang was able to give the third girl a dowry of twenty acres of land.

There are also the third wife and the fifth aunt, who think that Shen Su must have won the Jinshi and helped his sister's family or something.

Anyway, this day was extremely lively.

After a lively banquet at noon, before the clan members were sent away, Mrs.

Shen took the third girl He Zijin and the maid Mrs.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Shen to clean up the leftovers of the banquet, which were collected chicken bones and fish bones.

People who are frugal can also feed dogs and cats.

Nothing goes to waste.

When the children grew up, Mrs.

Shen taught them everything about how to run a household and live a good life.

Madam He and Aunt Yu were in the room looking at the gifts sent by relatives today.

The He family is a small family, and most of the things sent by the clan members are ordinary things, such as three-foot cotton cloth or eggs and fruits produced by the family.

He Heng's wife, the Sun family, and He Xin's wife, the Li family.

These two families were well-known wealthy families in the family, so the things they gave were particularly high-quality.

Mrs.

Sun gave me two bolts of bright silk and satin material, and Mrs.

Li gave me a pair of silver hairpins made of Dielianhua flowers.

They were both very respectable things.

After Mrs.

He looked at it, she asked specifically, "What did that family give to Di Ba'er?"

Aunt Yu said, "Third wife brought two packs of snacks from home."

Madam He was surprised, "I'm actually willing to give you some snacks.

Come and bring them over and let me see why the sun is rising in the west."

He thought they were snacks from Piaoxiang Garden.

She loved this one, but Grandma Yu took it out and took a look.

She found two packets wrapped in oil paper.

When she opened it, He was stunned.

Where was Piaoxiang Garden?

The snacks are just two packages of square pancakes.

He Lao Niang scolded, "This is a trick that kills a thousand people.

This is also called dim sum."

Aunt Yu advised, "At least it's made from white flour.

Let's heat it up in the basket tomorrow, so we don't have to make steamed buns in the morning."

He Lao Niang was furious, "Damn you, a family of more than a dozen came to our house to eat and eat.

I just gave her a few cooking cakes.

I will spare her next time."

I am going to give the third wife a good look when the opportunity comes.

While the remaining mats were being cleared outside, the third girl, He Zijin, came over.

He Lao Niang picked two pieces from the ordinary materials given by her clansmen, gave each of them a piece, and told them to make their own clothes.

Mrs.

He asked the third girl, "Didn't you give the wolfberry seeds to Jie Ba'er's house?"

She was polite at that time.

The third girl didn't want to think about it and said, "I packed some for Sister Qi."

Mrs.

He slapped her thigh and sighed, "If you are really here, I will tell you."

The third girl said, "Oh, even if I gave it to Sister Qi, I don't know if it can go into her mouth.

I gave her some last time, and I heard from her that the fifth aunt said that Brother Cang was so absorbed in studying that he was so dizzy.

The tea and soup were given to Brother Cang."

He Lao Niang was even more disgusted with this family and scolded her, "If you don't accumulate good deeds, you will be repaid sooner or later."

Shiba'er said again, "Sister Qi's child really didn't cultivate in his previous life and was reborn in this family.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

It's a pity that he's so good."

"Girl" and then listed the top ten crimes of the third wife's stingy nature.

He scolded her for half an hour before finally letting out a breath of anger.

The third wife and her family had a big meal at He's house.

They ate too much fish and meat, and felt a little full in their stomachs.

The third wife ordered her second granddaughter to make a cup of strong tea and drink it to digest, and complained to her daughter-in-law, "Then Iron Rooster has been cut off today.

How can he be willing to marry his grandniece like this to a matchmaker like Chang?

In fact, a good dowry girl quickly and quietly told her to give it to her nephew, and no one else knew that the good girl was taken away by her family.

"The third girl is also good at needlework and makes money, but she only makes money on weekdays.

She is too lazy and refuses to work at night, so her income is far less than that of her granddaughter.

If he had known that the third girl would give such a generous dowry to her natal nephew and grandnephew, and had changed her lazy temper, life would not have been different.

The fifth aunt said, "Isn't it?

I asked sister-in-law Chang to propose marriage to our sister Qi, but she didn't feel at ease at all.

It turned out that she was busy making arrangements for her nephew.

Just like this, she still wants to earn money from us as a matchmaker.

Let her think Let’s go” The third wife said, "Girl Qi is still young.

It doesn't matter if she stays in the girl's family for a few more years.

We are direct relatives, so there is no need to send the child away in a hurry.

On the other hand, A Cang will be fifteen next year, so he should have an attentive person to take care of him.

Wait.

Let the matchmaker pay attention.

We, A Cang, are scholars.

In addition to being well matched, girls must be gentle and sensible.

It doesn't matter if they are two years older, and they can also serve others. " Fifth Aunt also thought the same and smiled, "What mother said makes sense, I remember it."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are plotting against each other, but they don't even know that they are already the butt of laughter.

Mrs.

Sun went home and told her mother-in-law Mrs.

Liu about the third girl and the hairpin ceremony.

Mrs.

Sun could not help but praise He Lao Niang, "I usually only hear people say that my aunt is a frugal person, and she is really dignified when doing things. ” Mrs.

Liu smiled, "Your aunt is never confused about important matters."

Although Mrs.

Sun usually prides herself on being a lady from a scholarly family, she is actually a gossip.

After seeing the excitement today, she couldn't help but talk about the affairs of the third wife and fifth aunt's family.

Mrs.

Liu sighed, "You see, the third family is just calculating little things, and they are fools when it comes to big things.

People at that time favored boys over girls.

In fact, children are their own flesh and blood.

It goes without saying that if the family really doesn't have them, we can't be biased.

I have a son.

If my daughter has a good relationship, it’s hard for her mother’s family to suffer.”

"In my heart, I treat my daughter as an outsider and compare my feelings with others.

My daughter is a little ambitious and will treat her parents' family as an outsider."

Mrs.

Liu said to her daughter-in-law, "Look at your aunt's family.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

She only has one son and one daughter.

Although I respect my sister and her son, She married farther away, in Furong County.

But the Feng family's uncle was also famous for his ability.

In just a few years, he had passed the examination and became an official.

This is respect.

Jie'er's father arranged a marriage for Jie Jing's son when he was still alive.

As for Gong, he has good vision and good luck.

Not only does Mr.

Shen have such a good future, he is also a good person, so let's look at him now.

It's almost the same.

If you look at it twenty years later, it will be completely different.

"He Gong's own fame is limited, but He Gong has a son and He Lie is also a student.

Shen Su took good care of He Luodu and was willing to write a letter of recommendation, and he treated his nephew the same way.

Although He Lao Niang is a bit picky on weekdays, she is very clear about important matters.

What's wrong with giving more dowry to the third girl?

The third girl has long since lost her natal family, and the He family is her natal family.

That girl is very capable.

What's more, if He Lao Niang is so open-minded, wouldn't her own reputation be bad?

The third wife is such a fool, she knows how to pick things, and her brain is broken.

When my granddaughter gets her haircut, she can’t bear to give her haircut ceremony.

Who wouldn’t laugh at her?

Mrs.

Sun is now particularly close to her mother-in-law and smiled, "Yes, everyone said that my aunt is willing to give land to her nieces and nephews as dowries.

In the future, Zijin will marry her husband's family and the dowry will be even richer."

Mrs.

Liu smiled, "That's natural.

Zijin's mother is known for her ability to live a good life.

Besides, my aunt and uncle's family are all officials and they are real relatives.

I will definitely help this girl in the future."

Now talking about He Zijin, Mrs.

Sun was full of affection, "Especially that girl is very good-looking.

The third girl is a famous beauty.

Zijin is no worse than the third girl.

Today, everyone is talking, and some people ask about it.

Zi Jin is here."

Ms.

Liu smiled, "She is only a few years old, so she is very impatient."

"yes."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about the three girls and the hairpin banquet.

Mrs.

Sun served her mother-in-law for tea and then went back to her house to change clothes.

Having participated in the third girl's haircut banquet, the happiest person was the third girl's future mother-in-law, Mrs.

Wang.

Compared with the previous ups and downs in her heart, the more Wang thinks about it, the more she feels that this marriage is a perfect match.

Not only is the dowry of the third girl not bad, even if it is not as good as the dowry of fifty acres of land given to her natal niece, it does have one great benefit.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

He Gong's family does have several good relatives, and they are all officials.

The third girl has no father or mother, and He Gong's family is not her natal family.

Although the relationship between her family and He Gong's family was not bad in the past, no matter how close they are, they cannot compare to their current marriage.

Wang even thought that if she worked hard in the future, she might be able to make some money or something.

At the very least, it is certain that my grandson will not have to worry about his husband when he studies in the future.

Thinking of this, Mrs.

Wang became even more happy, feeling deeply that her son's extraordinary vision was comparable to what He Gong and He Xiucai had back then.

If He Gong hadn't married the Shen family at that time, where would there be a brother-in-law in the Imperial Academy now?

You have good eyesight, you are definitely born with it.

If you are lucky, you are definitely born with it.

After having fun at home, Mrs.

Wang happily continued to prepare her son's betrothal giftgd1806102:
