The He family settled down in the imperial capital in a lively manner, moving the yard, cleaning up the house, and making various arrangements.
They were very busy.
The He family was busy here, and several families in an alley sent their servants over.
When it comes to talking, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.
Since they are neighbors, seeing that the He family has recently moved here, there is no reason not to come over and say hello.
However, it was obvious that people had done some research in advance and knew that they were in-laws of the Shen family.
The servants were very polite when they came over.
They would always call Mr.
Mrs., old lady, girl, uncle or something like that.
They made Mrs.
He beautiful and said directly, "This person from the Imperial City knows etiquette." , and also politely tight.”
He Zijin teased, "Isn't that right?
In our hometown, we all call him Zijin's grandmother, Zijin's mother, and Zijin's father."
Because she had just received a large house as a gift from the Shen family, Mrs.
He was overjoyed and couldn't help but smile, "Aren't these all villagers, and they are not outsiders, so naturally they are affectionate."
Mrs.
Shen stood up and took the tea that Nanny Yu brought in, offered one to her mother-in-law, and said with a smile, "We have already arranged everything at home.
It's time to set up two tables and invite Asu and the others to come over and have some fun."
When moving to a new home, you need to install a warm house.
He Lao Niang took it seriously and said, "We will buy two banquets of fine wine.
The in-laws will treat us as if they were our own flesh and blood."
Such a good house was given to her as soon as she offered it.
He Lao Niang did not forget to tell her girl, "Your uncle has a conscience." , We have obtained this house, you are not allowed to mention anything else, especially members of other schools, I can’t give it to you, don’t you know that Ah Xuan and his four brothers will spend the money later.”
"It seems like I love money."
A gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way.
He Zijin is not a greedy person, so he said, "I didn't intend to get it.
It's this house.
I'll go to the Imperial Palace tomorrow.
Transfer the ownership in my name.”
Mrs.
He muttered, "Let's change.
Let's change."
She thought that if she had known that her uncle was so kind, she should have been a part of it when this girl brought money to him.
Hey, it’s really hard to buy.
I knew it earlier.
He Lao Niang said again, “You are a lucky person.”
He Zijin smiled and said, "You're welcome."
He Lao Niang couldn't help but curl up her lips, saying with a smile, "Looking at grandma like this, I was just joking, what's yours is mine, what's mine is yours" Yes, what's yours is mine, isn't it?
Which one of us will follow which one?
There is one woman in our family.
Count one, grandma, how many private houses and fields do you have in your hands?
My mother also has several private sauce shops.
It doesn’t matter if I have a house.
If I didn’t have it, I would obviously be incapable of being like my granddaughter.
Now this is just the beginning. , When my father becomes a Jinshi in the future, my great fortune will be behind me.

A house is nothing."
Mother He thought that when her son became a Jinshi and became an official, she might be able to get the same title as her in-laws.
In the eyes of Mrs.
He, this imperial edict is more valuable than ten houses.
After thinking about it like this, she said, "You are such an ignorant girl.
Your father and A-Nian see you as Master Jinshi, so please don't say such ignorant things."
He Zijin widened his eyes and pretended, "I found out that you are different now that you enter the Imperial City, grandma."
"What's the difference?"
He asked.
He Zijin put on a very sincere face and said, "Suddenly I became very knowledgeable.
Even my speech is different from when I was in my hometown."
Mrs.
He was immediately proud.
She put down the tea cup, took her hand and said with a sullen face, "That's right, this is the imperial capital.
Where do you think it is?
What do you mean when you do as the Romans do?
Now that we have arrived at the place where the emperor lives, Of course you have to show the air of a person from the imperial capital, you know?”
"I didn't know it before, but I know it now."
Madam He diverted the topic to He Zijin, and she immediately forgot about the name change on the land deed of the house, and just started to teach her girl, "It's not too late to know now, you are not stupid."
He Zijin: Mrs.
Shen and Aunt Yu snickered and arranged lunch.
The men in the family were all studying, including A-Nian and Jun Ge'er.
A-Nian was preparing to be a transfer student, and Jun Ge'er had reached the age of enlightenment, so he and Dan Ge'er simply learned to read from Old Master Shen.
After lunch, Mrs.
Shen took her daughter to do needlework.
While talking about the warm house and wine, Mrs.
He said, "It's better to prepare a banquet and wine to treat the in-laws."
What a good in-laws, this big house, give it to them as much as they want. .
When she thought about this, Mrs.
He was very emotional.
She felt that her son was blessed and had good vision, so he had such a good relationship in the first place.
Mrs.
Shen smiled, "I was thinking, when we moved a while ago, the neighbors all sent people over to talk.
It would be better to have two extra tables for warm banquets and wine, and invite the neighbors as well."
He Zijin said, "It's better to ask my grandmother first to see what the neighbors are like and how many people each family has.
It's not too late to post."
Mrs.
Shen was very satisfied with her daughter's thoughtfulness and nodded, "Very true.
We will go to your grandmother's place later to ask."
Madam He said, "Well, you go ahead, Ayu and I will watch the dinner."
Ever since she had her own big house, Madam He didn't really like to visit her in-laws all the time.
Mrs.
Shen took her daughter there.
The house Shen Su bought was not considered a prime location in the imperial capital, but at least it was considered a silver location.
It was surrounded by middle- and low-grade official families.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
It's not that houses in prime locations are unaffordable, it's just that houses in such locations are generally expensive but not marketable.
Mrs.
Shen and her mother inquired about their neighbors.
Old Mrs.
Shen said, "There are six households in our alley.
Apart from our two, one is from the household of Mr.
Chen, the head of the Household Department, one is from the residence of Mr.
Song, a Hanlin scholar, and another is It is the residence of Vice General Qi of the Imperial Guard, and the family of Wai Langmei, a member of the Ministry of Rites.
It's not that they are difficult to get along with.
The Qi family is a family of military commanders, and Mrs.
Qi is a straightforward person.
The ancestors of the Mei family are a family of officials, which is a little noble.
Master Chen's family is rich, and Master Song's family pays great attention to etiquette.
You want to post a warm house wine.
It’s enough to have four tables for women’s seats and three tables for men’s seats.”
Mrs.
Shen was a little confused and said, "Mom, four tables for women's seats is too much."
In fact, Ms.
Shen calculated that it was her mother's house and her neighbor's house.
Moreover, her family had just moved in, and the neighbors came over to have a drink. , there are only four households, and eight people are more than enough.
Jiang accepted her mother-in-law's words and said with a smile, "Sister, I don't know, but there is a reason for this.
Each of these families can have two or three people, but the Mei family has the largest population, and his family has not been divided yet.
Starting from the old lady and the old lady in his family, there are six-roomed families in the generation of the old man and the old lady.
These six-roomed masters and wives gave birth to thirteen-roomed masters and grandma.
There are more than 20 young men and women of the fourth generation in our alley.
His family has the most happy events this month.
I have received posts from his family five times this month.
Whenever there is a happy event for each family, his family goes to it.
There are also the most people, there are dozens or twenty of them when I go out, which is really scary, but they are all neighbors, so there is nothing I can do about it.”
It was an eye-opener for Shen and He Zijin.
He Zijin asked, "Auntie, is his house enough to live in?"
"It's not enough.
In addition to the old lady and the old man living in a slightly more spacious place, there are also two little great-granddaughters living with them, and the remaining three generations are crowded into one courtyard."
Jiang said, "Actually, there are quite a lot of things like this."
Old Mrs.
Shen said, "If you ask me, the Mei family can't think of it.
Why bother with so many descendants crowded together in one place?
If there are too many people, there will be a lot of things to do.
Also, if a large family eats from the official, it will be convenient for the descendants to see that they are eating and drinking.
If you don't know how to make progress, it would be better to separate the families and live a peaceful life while the young people live their own lives and find a way to support themselves.
It would be better than having this big family living side by side. " He Zijin believed it and said, "Grandma said so."
Jiang smiled, "I said the same thing.
When Ah Xuan and the others are older and have their own families, they will immediately separate to avoid any noise."
Old Mrs.
Shen said quickly, "Axuan is the eldest son, so he cannot be separated."

Mrs.
Shen smiled, "It's still early.
A'dan is only so old now.
The children must all be married before we can talk about dividing the family."
As soon as everyone talked, they were far away.
However, Shen and He Zijin were well aware of the matter of warm banquets and wine.
Jiang also gave instructions to Shen to exchange for some silver coins and pull some rulers.
If a child comes, it can be used as a greeting gift.
She also said that the He family would provide a warm banquet and wine during the introduction.
She brought the cook, maid, and boy over to help, otherwise the He family would be really busy.
Although the He family was small, fortunately, they had been warned by the Jiang family in advance, so they knew what to prepare for the banquet.
Shen, Zijin and Madam arranged the menu, bought it in advance, and borrowed pots and pans from the Jiang family.
There were also six maids and six boys, and He Zijin was in charge of the others.
Although there were many people coming that day, there was no chaos at all.
Mrs.
Yuan Shen thought that she had just arrived, and she didn't expect that all the wives and grandmothers from several families would see He Zijin with a familiar face.
Without him, everyone would know, "This is Mr.
Shen's niece who is good at growing green chrysanthemums." , Oh, he looks so good."
He Zijin didn't do anything particularly luxurious, she just wore a cherry red mini-fur dress.
Because she was tall and started to grow, she really had a slim figure, and her facial features were handsome, with only a red gold hairpin on her head.
Peony Buyao is also indescribably generous and generous, and her speech is clear and lucid.
She doesn't have the slightest bit of timidity in her answers, and is very capable of speaking out.
Even the eldest lady of Song Xueshi's family who came over to have a drink said, "She is indeed Master Shen's niece.
This child is really good."
She also asked He Zijin if he had studied in school.
He Zijin smiled and said, "I have been studying with a female teacher for several years since I was a child, but I didn't study deeply and could barely recognize a few words."
Madam He said, "Yes, I only managed to read a shelf of books."
When Mrs.
Shen heard her mother-in-law talking like this, she felt her face get hot.
Sure enough, several ladies from the Mei family showed disdain, but Grandma Song's expression did not change and she still smiled and praised, "It would be good to read more books." , reading makes sense."
He then said to Mrs.
He, "It's no wonder that your girl is so good-tempered and has a lot of poetry in her heart.
It's true."
He Zijin smiled modestly and said, "You're really flattering me.
My family is a farming and reading family, so I'm not afraid of your jokes.
We still work in front of others.
In the past, I was used to living like a native family in the countryside.
When I first came to the imperial capital, there were many things I didn't like.
I'm sorry for you."
Dear neighbors, please give me some advice.”
Mother He thought, this girl is so stupid, how can she expose herself and make the snobbery listen, why don't we look down on our family.
Look, the mouths of the ladies and grandmothers in the Mei family are even higher.
Hey, you are still young, so honest.
Grandma Song, on the other hand, smiled and said, "What's wrong with the Gengdu family?
My family has been a Gengdu family for three generations."

Vice General Qi's wife also said, "That's right, when we come and go, it depends on character.
As soon as I heard your girl speak, I felt that she had a bad temper."
The latter words were addressed to Mrs.
Shen.
Mrs.
Shen smiled, "This girl has always been straight-tempered."
"This is good.
Studying is for understanding the truth.
When a girl studies, she must be dignified and respectful.
Don't imitate those sour and fake words, which will make people laugh."
What Mrs.
Qi said made Mr.
Shen a little confused.
The second wife of the Mei family smiled lightly and said, "Yes, regardless of men or women, reading is for the sake of etiquette.
It is just a word of etiquette.
It is easy to see, but it is not easy to truly read it in your heart."
Mrs.
Qi's face turned pale.
Mrs.
Mei Er turned to Mrs.
He and said, "I heard that your two masters came to the imperial capital to take the exam.
My incompetent son barely passed the exam last year.
He planned to take the exam next spring, but he couldn't compare.
When Mr.
Xie Yuangong of yours is free, you might as well visit my house more often and we can discuss articles with each other."
He didn't understand Mrs.
Mei Er's eloquent passage, but she did understand some of the meaning.
It was just asking Ah Nian to teach the Mei boy to study.
He didn't realize that Mrs.
Mei Er was being polite.
She was an old man.
He has always been a confident person.
Hearing this, he said directly, "That's no problem.
Why don't you ask your father-in-law?"
I asked Ah Nian to write an article for him.
Since we are neighbors, we should help him more.
Not only is Ah Nian good at writing in my family, but my uncle’s school is also good.
Although it is a bit more expensive, the education is good.
That's great.
I'm going to let A Nian and his father-in-law go read it.
If your son wants to go, I'd like to drop by."
Mrs.
Mei Er's face suddenly became stiff.
He Zijin glanced at Mrs.
Mei Er's half-worn maroon sweater without any trace, and was really impressed by He's speaking skills.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
You are so good at talking.
Didn't you see that the Renmei family is humble?
However, Mrs.
Qi suddenly became interested and asked He Lao Niang about the rankings of the two people in the family.
He Lao Niang had always been proud of this, and the rankings of A Nian and He Gong's son-in-law were indeed good.
Mrs.
Qi then praised, "With such a good ranking, I will definitely be in the top ten next year."
Mrs.
He was very happy when she heard this and said with a smile, "I said the same, I just hope they can be ranked higher, like my uncle."
Mrs.
Mei Er has never seen a guy like He in her life who is not obedient, can't look at people's faces, and is so confident and arrogant.
She smiled slightly and said, "I envy you for your confidence.
I'm always worried about my family."
"Boy, there are thousands of candidates, but only three hundred people are selected for Jinshi."
Mrs.
He disagreed, waved her hand and said, "Thousands of people are afraid of something.
As the saying goes, real gold is not afraid of fire.
As long as the article is good, even tens of thousands of people can win."
She also said to Mrs.
Mei Er, " If your family is not sure, you might as well wait a little longer.
I heard from my uncle that Gongyuan is very difficult.
It takes nine days to go there.
If you feel that the fire has not arrived yet, you might as well study for a few more years to avoid suffering that fate.
"Mother He was secretly proud that the Mei family's children would have fewer competitors.
He persuaded Mrs.
Mei Er again with a word of advice, which almost persuaded Mrs.
Mei Er to the point of falling out, but He Lao Niang Shishi just shut up.
Mrs.
Chen, the head of the household department, was amused and smoothed things over by saying, "Hey, it's a good time to have wine and talk about learning again.
My family is not like yours.
We have such a young master, and you two keep talking about this.
Isn’t that what makes people greedy?”
She turned around and asked He Zijin if he was still planting flowers.
Mrs.
Chen was very sorry to hear that the green chrysanthemums were no longer planted.
The Nuanzhai wine was quite lively today, except for Mrs.
Qi and Mrs.
Mei Er who were full of gunpowder.
Because these two people seemed to have a bad temper, Mrs.
Shen specially separated them.
It was only later that I found out that Mrs.
Mei Er and Mrs.
Qi had quite a feud, but I won’t mention it for now.
After seeing off the guests, Mrs.
Jiang praised He Zijin and said, "Zijin is really capable.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Although this banquet is not a big banquet, she is only a daughter and she can arrange it in an orderly manner.
I think she doesn't need any help from her sister."
Heart."
Shen was proud that her daughter was capable, but she said, "She is just messing around.
She has always liked to take care of things since she was a child.
When she is at home, she always likes to mix things up when there are drinks in the house.
I also call her Let’s do it.
Today, thanks to the help of the people at my sister’s house, it’s busy and not chaotic.”
Old Mrs.
Shen loved her granddaughter He Zijin the most, and said to her daughter, "It's good that Zijin is like this.
Girls should only be in elementary school, otherwise their eyes will be darkened and they won't be able to survive."
It's a joke.
"I think my granddaughter is better than Jiang.
Jiang was new to the imperial capital when he was in his twenties, and he was not so neat.
Now he has only been in these few years.
Practiced.
Old Mrs.
Shen felt regretful when she thought that such a capable granddaughter could not be given a grandson.
Mrs.
He obviously agreed with Mrs.
Shen's words and said, "Yes, before coming to the imperial capital, I was worried that this girl would be timid when she first arrived in the imperial capital.
Now that we see other officials and rich people, we girls don't show any signs of it.
You are not as good as others."
Apart from the gift she received today, this is what makes Mrs.
He the most happy.
She feels that her girl is very handsome.
Jiang quickly said, "As for the in-laws, our Zijin is very outstanding no matter where we are."
However, Jiang also admitted that He Zijin was generous in his words and deeds.
Girls raised like this It is rare to have tolerance.
Mrs.
He nodded immodestly, "That's right, raising children is different from those country girls in our country.
Do you remember, my in-laws, when this girl is full moon, she puts out full moon wine, and many people who see her say, "Oh, hey, what's going on again?"
I have never seen such a handsome child.
As soon as I carried her out, there were many family members waiting to hold her.
Some children are so beautiful when they are older, but our girl has always been outstanding. " Jiang couldn't help laughing and echoed He's wife, thinking that it was lucky that Zijin was an outstanding person, otherwise He's words would really make people laugh.
Shen asked Jiang, "Do these neighbors know about Zi Jin planting chrysanthemums?"
Jiang said, "A few years ago, the prince of Shu sent green chrysanthemums back.
Alas, I had never seen green chrysanthemums before in the imperial capital, and it suddenly became a sensation.
Later I found out that it was my son Jin who planted it, and my husband didn't.
Especially when talking to people, if someone heard that it was grown in Sichuan, someone asked the husband to inquire about it, and it was hard for the husband to hide it.
As a result, if someone knew it, everyone would know it. ” Mrs.
Shen smiled, "Xiao Tang is an enthusiastic person, but he has a big mouth."
Jiang smiled, "Master Xiao Tang's mouth is really not tight."
He Zijin was a little confused when he heard this.
He didn't know who this Master Xiao Tang was.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
When he inquired carefully, Shen said, "This Master Xiao Tang is the son of the Shangshu Family of the Ministry of Finance.
He has a good relationship with your uncle and is very lively." .
If he knows you are here, he will definitely come to see you."
Mrs.
He was very impressed and said, "Our uncle is also acquainted with the young master of Shangshu family.
He is really capable."
Jiang felt proud, but said, "When Mr.
Tang met Mr.
Tang, Mr.
Tang was not yet a minister."
He Lao Niang still felt that Shen Su was very capable, and thought that she had come to the imperial capital at the right time.
During the introduction, she asked her uncle to help her son introduce the nobles of the imperial capital.
Even if it was useless, it would be enough to brag when he returned to his hometown.
After the Shen family left, Mrs.
He took He Zijin to count the house-warming gifts she had received.
Mrs.
He also said, "People in the imperial capital are so enthusiastic.
They even give gifts when they come to have a drink."
Moreover, the things they gave were better than The gifts from my relatives in my hometown were much more respectable, even the clothes and materials.
Even after He took a look at them, she felt they were not bad.
It's just that the Mei family is the most annoying.
When a family of fifteen or sixteen came to have a drink, they only gave two feet and two baskets of fruits as a house gift, so that Mrs.
He muttered, "This family must be related to the third wife eight hundred years ago."
Not only did they not get much in the way of gifts, but they also habitually looked at people in the opposite direction, raised their chins high when they spoke, and spoke in a long-winded way, making it hard for others to understand.
He Lao Niang decided to have less contact with this family in the future.
He Zijin also received a meeting gift from several ladies and grandmothers.
He Lao Niang asked her to take it out and look at it carefully.
When she saw that they were gold and jade rings and other items, she said to He Zijin, "Keep it for yourself."
Seeing the silver ring given by the Mei family, He Lao Niang was not very happy and said, "Today, I will talk to this Mei family."
The family has suffered a huge loss.
"Her family didn't give much as a greeting gift.
They were all silver coins and a lot of money.
However, the Mei family had many children.
There were seven or eight children of the same generation, and each person had two small silver coins.
He Zijin got two silver rings, which made He Lao Niang have sparks in her eyes.
He Zijin smiled, "Grandma, there's no need to be angry.
Which family is better than his family?
If his family is like this, other families are not fools."
Mrs.
He sighed, "There are really annoying people like the third wife everywhere."
He Zijin smiled.
The greeting gifts He Zijin got here were ordinary, but A-Nian got a few nice ones.
A-Nian said he had the status of Jieyuan, so the neighbors should not treat him as his junior.
However, He Gong's father-in-law was here, and A Nian was a proper junior, and he was young and had a good reputation, so everyone was quite generous in giving him things.
In addition to the jade pendant and jade pendant, A-Nian also got a jade ring.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
It was not big, but it was made of excellent jade material.
A-Nian gave it to Sister Zijin to keep.
Ah Nian was still thinking about business and said, "We'd better ask our adoptive father to send the letter that Master Yun asked us to send before we came here."
A Nian didn't say anything, but He Zijin had forgotten about it.
He Zijin had a restless temper, and there was only a wall between her home and her uncle's home, so he and Anian went over to ask her uncle.
Shen Su was eating hangover soup.
He had always had a good drinking capacity, and he had developed it over the years in the Imperial Capital.
This hangover soup was just a casual drink.
After hearing what his niece said, Shen Su thought for a while, "The surname is Xie, from the Imperial Capital."
A wealthy family named Xie There is an old Shangshu family with the surname Xie, but I have never heard of any of his children with the character Mo.
For the name.”
He Zijin asked, "Is it possible that there is a word Mo in the name?"
In those days, people's names were complicated.
When a man was born, his family would give him a big name, and when he was old enough, he would be given the word "Mo" by his teacher.
Therefore, the two characters of the name, the name and the character, represent different meanings.
Some literati like to give themselves a nickname after their name and character.
However, the three characters Xie Moru are obviously a name, not a title.
Shen Su had been in the Imperial Capital for some years, but he couldn't think of a person named Xie Moru in the Imperial Capital.
He said, "I don't have much contact with the Xie family, so let me ask you something.
But, you Are you sure he is from Xie Shangshu’s family?”
He Zijin said, "Master Chaoyun said that this person is famous.
You can find out if you ask around."
Shen Su said, "I don't know."
Then he said to Taoist Priest Chaoyun, "I don't even want to tell you the address.
There are so many people named Xie in the capital.
How can I send this letter?"
"Master Chaoyun probably doesn't know the address.
He might have told me earlier."
Shen Su said, "Don't worry, I'll ask a know-it-all.
There's nothing in the imperial capital that he doesn't know."
"Who is it?"
He Zijin asked gossiping.
Shen Su smiled and said, "I have a friend named Tang."
He Zijin immediately said, "Is it that Master Xiao Tang?"
"Oh, you know him too" "I know, why don't I know?
Auntie said he was a big mouth."
Shen Suxiao said, "Xiao Tang is just more lively.
Ah Xuan likes him very much.
When you meet him, you will definitely like him too."
A Nian: Please don’t introduce this kind of man to Sister Zijin casually, okay?
Also, this Master Xiao Tang is married, right?
The author has something to say: s: Good night, I can’t help but feel like I can’t spoil it gd1806102:
