Chapter 297: The Imperial Capital Goes Thirty-two


Ah Nian was quite disappointed that his biological father was not in prison.

Before getting married, A-Nian felt that as long as he got married to Zijin's sister, A-Nian would be satisfied.

But after getting married, the two of them were lying on the same bed.

Even if they couldn't do that, A Nian still wanted to have some private words with sister Zijin.

Just because the old ghost is such a nuisance, he can't do anything or say anything, and he's too embarrassed to say anything more personal.

Ah Nian said to the old ghost, "You are really a nuisance."

The old ghost said shamelessly: I am you, aren't you saying that you are disgusting?

Then, he said earnestly: Ah Nian, you are such a contradictory person.

Anian thought that if he could not solve the old ghost's problem after leaving Guoxiao next year, he might as well go to Maoshan.

A Nian continued to work as an errand, and within a few days he brought back a pair of plum blossom gold hairpins for Sister Zijin.

He even put a hairpin in Sister Zijin’s hair himself.

Sister Zijin looked at herself in the mirror and said with a smile, “I thought it was an excuse that day.

Well, you really hit me."

"Of course it's true."

Ah Nian said, "This is the Bingjing silver this winter.

My father-in-law and I each got fifty taels.

It cost me twenty taels to get this hairpin for my sister, and two pairs of earrings.

It cost a total of "Fifty taels, give this pair of grape pendants to your mother-in-law, and give these pair of longevity pendants to your grandmother."

Then the remaining twenty-five taels will be given to Sister Zijin for personal use.

He Zijin put the silver away and looked at the two pairs of pendants.

He saw that the pendants were not big, but they were exquisite and cute.

He smiled and said, "I will give this to the New Year as a New Year gift."

A Nian smiled and looked at Sister Zijin's new hairpin, and distributed it with Sister Zijin.

Early the next morning, Sister Zijin didn't wear any jewelry on her head, just the pair of plum blossom hairpins.

Madam He was not blind, so she saw it at a glance.

She couldn't hold back her words, so she said, "Oh, this hairpin is very eye-catching."

Despite her age, she was very precious to her daughter's jewelry.

As soon as he saw the hairpin, he knew it was a new one.

Madam He had already guessed it, so she just asked it on purpose.

He Zijin took out his hairpin early in the morning just to ask his family to ask.

Seeing He Lao Niang supporting her, He Zijin immediately said with a little pride, "A Nian gave me the shot."

He Lao Niang immediately clicked her tongue.

It would be good for her granddaughter and her grandson-in-law to fall in love, but they can't always waste money.

He Lao Niang and Anian said, "Don't I say it anymore?

If you have money saved, you can buy land in the future.

This girl is so lavish. , A-Nian, you should be more careful, otherwise, how will you build a family business in the future?"

Anian said, "Grandma, don't worry, I know it."

He Lao Niang said, "You shouldn't spend money randomly when you know how to do it."

He Zijin couldn't help but said, "A-Nian also gave your old man a pair of earrings.

If your old man said so, I'll tell him to back off."

"What?"

Mrs.

He was startled, "and mine" He Zijin nodded, "That's right."

He Lao Niang said, "Even if it's mine, I shouldn't buy it.

With this money, I can buy an extra half acre of land."

Mrs.

Shen smiled, "Children should be filial to you, the old man, and filial piety comes first.

This filial piety is stronger than half an acre of land.

If you don't like it, mother, why don't you give me the pendant."

He Lao Niang said quickly, "Who said I don't like it?

The children bought it for me, so what's the point of giving it to you?"

Then she said, "A-Nian, since I am the grandmother, of course you are the mother-in-law." ” Mrs.

Shen also smiled and said to the young couple, "As long as you have this childlike heart, you are not allowed to spend money frivolously in the future.

It is only the first year of your marriage.

You two can't realize it.

You will know it when you have children." , there are more places to spend your money.”

When A-Nian heard the words about children, the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up, and she said sweetly in her heart, "Don't worry, mother-in-law, I understand.

I will make a good job in the future to save the family business for my children."

Mrs.

He admired A Nian's attitude very much and said with a smile, "That's right."

Ah Lie said, "Grandma, when I get my honors and become an official, I will be filial to you in the same way."

Mrs.

He was so happy that she said hello repeatedly, her old face smiling like a chrysanthemum.

Brother Jun was also a clever kid and said, "Grandma, then I will definitely be more filial to you than my brother in the future."

Mrs.

He's eyes almost burst out of laughter.

Ah Lie shook his fist at his brother, preparing to punish his brother at some point.

The older this kid got, the less he would listen to him.

Brother Jun rolled his eyes at his brother, turned his head, and said to his parents in a smart voice, "Mom, dad, I will be filial to you just like I am to my grandmother, and I will be more filial to you than my brother."

Mrs.

Shen smiled and praised Brother Jun, and Ah Lie felt his fists became more and more itchy.

He Gong patted his eldest son on the shoulder.

The third girl and Hu Wen also came over with Chongyang in their arms.

He Gong smiled and said, "Let's eat."

The He family's breakfast is always sumptuous, with oil and salt flower rolls, steamed buns, rice porridge, and various side dishes.

Since the children at home are growing, the men, A Nian and He Gong, have to work as errands, and Hu Wen also has to go to the shop.

There is no one left to look after the business, so there is a lot of meat, including plain mutton and beef with soy sauce.

The whole family had breakfast, working on errands and studying.

After all the men left, Mrs.

He asked her girl Pianzi about her earrings.

He Zijin said, "I will give it to my grandmother after the Chinese New Year.

Think of it as a New Year's gift from Aluo and I."

How can I wait for the Chinese New Year?

She said, "Now that you have it, show me first.

We are not outsiders.

We are close relatives.

Why do you have to wait for the Chinese New Year?

I have raised you all these years.

When have you given me a New Year gift?

No."

I’ll feed you a lot and keep you smooth and smooth as usual.”

What is smooth water slide?

What adjective is this?

He Zijin still wanted to delay, but Mrs.

Shen was also a little itchy and wanted to see the pendant her son-in-law bought for her.

She smiled and said, "Take it out and show it to your grandmother."

Mrs.

He didn't like hearing this, so she said to Shen, "You make it sound like you don't want to appear."

Mrs.

Shen admitted openly and said, "I want to see it, I want to see it too."

He Zijin had to ask Wan Zi to take out the two pairs of pendants.

These days, packaging is also very particular.

The two pendants are small items, but the silver house also put them in small red lacquered boxes.

He Zijin opened them.

Give a pair of longevity pendants to Mrs.

He and a pair of grape pendants to Mrs.

Shen.

The three girls looked at it together and said with a smile, "A-Nian has really good eyesight.

The word "longevity" is to wish my great-aunt a long life, and the grapes have many fruits, which are all good meanings."

Madam He picked up the weights of the two pendants, and felt that her pair was heavier.

She thought about it, and immediately replaced the pair of gold earrings on her ears with golden ones.

The three girls saw this and held them up.

The small round mirror was given to my great-aunt for a closer look, while Mrs.

He held the mirror by herself.

Zi looked at it for a long time and said with emotion, "Back then, the short-lived ghost always wanted to give me a gold jewelry.

It was difficult to make a living at that time, so later he gave me a gold ring.

The short-lived ghost died early, Gong.

He is dull, but I enjoy the blessing of having a grandson-in-law.”

He Zijin interrupted, "It's mainly for my granddaughter's benefit."

He Lao Niang reluctantly said, "That's it."

Don't praise the girl too much, otherwise the girl should be proud.

Mrs.

Shen was very satisfied with her pendant and repeatedly told her daughter, "Don't spend money like this again in the future.

You can keep it for yourself if you have money."

He Zijin agreed, "A-Nian said that when you have money in the future, buy me a complete set of red gold jewelry."

Madam He was about to explode when she heard this.

She grabbed her girl's ears and lectured, "You are an insatiable girl.

How much money do you have to waste?

You don't have enough jewelry to wear gold, silver, jade, and pearls.

You Nothing like that, still I'll tell you as you prepare your jewelry, save your money carefully from now on.

If you can't let it go, just leave it here with me and I'll save it for you."

At the end of the words, Mrs.

He was quite moved.

She was very willing to save the money for the girl.

He Zijin took his ears back, rubbed them, and said, "You are joking.

Look, grandma, you are taking it seriously.

I told A-Nian that when I have money in the future, I will buy land, at least 10,000 acres of land, and pass it on to my descendants." ” Hearing this, Mrs.

He was very pleased.

She clapped her legs and said, "Well said, this is a person with ambition."

She repeatedly told her girl, "Don't imitate those who only know how to eat, drink and dress up.

Our family is not like that."

People who are like that are prodigal and will not end well."

Mrs.

He and Mrs.

Shen each got a pair of gold pendants, and she was very happy.

After everyone joked and laughed, the women began to do needlework.

The weather is getting cold, and new cotton robes have been made.

However, I heard from Jiang that the winter in the imperial capital will be even colder, so more thick cotton robes need to be made, so now He Gong A Niandu Since he is a member of the officialdom, he cannot be shabby anymore.

Hu Wen also wanted to do business outside, and he had to look like a boss.

As for Brother Aliejun, the children of the He family do not have extravagant habits, but the two brothers are studying in the official school.

The primary school students in the official school have a decent family background.

Therefore, Brother Aliejun does not dare to wear what he wears.

To be compared with the best, it has to be justifiable.

Therefore, the He family purchased a lot of good leathers as soon as winter began this year.

The fox skins were used by He Gong, A Nian Hu Wen and the three of them, and the rabbit skins were used for the clothes of brother Ah Liejun and the female family members.

Except for He Zijin who used an embroidery workshop to make clothes when he was in a hurry to get married, the women usually took the maids and did the work themselves.

The entire He family came to Mrs.

He's house, heated the kang, and worked on needlework together.

While they were doing needlework, Mrs.

Mei Er brought her granddaughter over to talk.

Seeing the He family doing needlework, she smiled and joked, "Why do such a decent family like yours still do their own needlework?"

Mrs.

He used to like to show off in front of Mrs.

Mei Er, but since her girl told her in the film, she knew to hold back a bit, so she smiled and said, "How dare we call ourselves a decent family?

Others don't know my family.

The second wife also knows, country people It’s true that when you come to the imperial capital, everything is expensive, so the two of them went to Hanlin to work as errands, so they could subsidize the family a lot.

"Yes.

When the He family arrived in the imperial capital, although there were two officials, they had no horses.

Because after careful calculation, I found that horses are too expensive.

Moreover, buying a horse is not the end of the world.

Raising a horse is also an expense.

Later, I figured it out and decided to buy two donkeys, which would save some money.

So, Weng and his son-in-law both rode donkeys as errands.

In fact, this is normal, because horses have always been expensive livestock, and many low-ranking officials in the imperial capital ride donkeys.

As Mrs.

He got older, she could no longer do the delicate work, so she helped to make paste to glue the soles of the shoes.

She left the task of gluing the soles to the maid and asked Mrs.

Mei Er to sit down, and asked Grandma Yu to bring out the He came with snacks for Mrs.

Mei Er and Miss Mei, and said with a smile, "Try it, our girl got up early and made it.

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

It's not very sweet, but it's good enough to eat."

Mrs.

Mei Er picked up a piece and ate it with a handkerchief.

She said it tasted good and praised He Zijin for his skill.

He Zijin smiled and said, "It's just random.

The snacks outside are too sweet.

The old man eats too much."

If it’s not good, I’ll make some at home.”

Mrs.

Mei Er pointed to her granddaughter beside her and said, "Axu also loves to cook, but he is not as skillful as Miss He.

You two have similar interests, so we can talk together."

Mrs.

Mei Er brought over her granddaughter, whose name is Mei Yongxu.

She is the legitimate daughter of Mrs.

Mei Er’s third son’s family.

It is said that she is a young talented girl who is good at writing poems.

Mei Yongxu was wearing a rose purple satin dress embellished with chinchilla skin.

She stretched out her onion-like fingers to pick up a piece of mung bean cake and tasted it.

She said with a smile, "Sister He's idea is really clever.

There is even jujube paste in it."

He Zijin smiled, "I have red dates left over from making date cake at home, so I broke them and put them in the bag."

The two families were neighbors, and Mrs.

Mei Er was a frequent visitor, so the conversation was just about commonplace things.

Talking about other things, Mrs.

Mei Er smiled and said, "I saw your house was very lively a few days ago.

I heard that relatives are here."

Mrs.

He smiled and said, "Aren't we relatives?

Mrs.

Aluo remembers it?"

"Is that the young man from your clan who is holding the title of Juren?"

"Yes, Aluo's parents and grandparents are here."

Mrs.

He said with joy and said with a smile, "Originally, I was worried about Aluo being alone in the imperial capital.

I asked him to come live at my house.

He didn't want to come.

I rented a house from the imperial court to live in.

Although I have a servant, I'm afraid it's not meticulous enough.

Now that my old sister-in-law has come over, everything is ready at Aluo's place."

Mrs.

Mei Er smiled, "Since He Hanlin wants to live in the imperial capital for a long time, why not buy a house?

It's a small house.

After all, it's cheaper to live by yourself."

He Lao Niang said, "How can it be so easy?

I heard that the imperial capital house is very valuable.

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

We also have such a house thanks to the blessing of my brother-in-law.

Otherwise, we would have to rent a house from the imperial court.

Such an expensive house in the imperial capital , How can I afford it at the moment?

Besides, Aluo has not yet married a wife, so there will be a lot of things in the future. " "Oh, why is such a young Hanlin master not married yet?"

"At first, I was so focused on studying that I didn't think about getting a wife.

Now that A Luo's book has been read, it's time to find a wife."

Madam He said with a smile, "If Mrs.

Mei Er is interested, let me help you.

Go ahead."

Mrs.

Mei Er talked about the marriage with Mrs.

He, and Mei Yongxu hurriedly hid with He Zijin and the third girl, watching the two sisters doing needlework.

Mrs.

Mei Er smiled and said, "I have many girls at home, but I'm afraid they are not worthy of Mr.

Hanlin."

He Lao Niang smiled and said, "What is worthy or not?

Your family comes from a scholarly family in the imperial capital, and we all come from the countryside.

Besides, this marriage is most uncertain.

If there is such a fate, everything will be over.

They can be matched, but if there is no such fate, no matter how much they say they are compatible, they will never be worthy."

"Yes, that's what you always said."

Mrs.

Mei Er said with a smile, "I have a granddaughter at home, which is also very good."

"I don't know which girl it is?"

He asked.

Mrs.

Mei Er said, "That's Yong Shao from my Erlang family.

She has a very sweet temperament."

Seeing Mrs.

Mei Er bringing Mei Yongxu over, Mrs.

He thought the Mei family was talking about Mei Yongxu, but it turned out that it was another girl.

He Lao Niang was a little unhappy.

Without him, she had been neighbors with the Mei family for half a year.

He Lao Niang also knew a little about the Mei family.

The most promising person in the Mei family is Mrs.

Mei's second son, Mei Juren.

Unfortunately, Chunwei failed in the examination.

However, the most promising girl in the Mei family is not Mei Yongshao as Mrs.

Mei Er mentioned, but Mei Yongxu who is always by Mrs.

Mei's side.

Thinking again about Mrs.

Mei Er's inquiry about the A Luo family's purchase of a house, Mrs.

He guessed that Mrs.

Mei Er was reluctant to part with Mei Yongxu.

Thinking that A Luo was also a first-rate talent, the Mei family actually felt disgusted.

He Lao Niang was very unhappy.

She had lived for most of her life and had gained a lot of knowledge in the imperial capital.

Therefore, even though she was unhappy, she did not say anything to death.

She just smiled and said, "After all, we are just relatives of A Luo." , But I don’t dare to make this decision for him.

If you are willing, it would be fine for me to talk about it. " Mrs.

Mei Er didn't say yes or no, but she smiled and said, "Our Erlang also loves to read.

Yongshao is just like her father.

He has been a book lover since he was a child."

Madam He smiled, "They say your girls are first-rate."

Mrs.

Mei Er brought Miss Yongxu to He's house and chatted for a while, then left after a while.

He Lao Niang said to Shen, He Zijin and the third girl, "The second Mrs.

Mei has chosen A Luo.

Even though A Luo has no house, he is also a serious Hanlin master.

His Mei family does not have a Hanlin, and they are in such a miserable state."

Now, I’d rather pick Alo.”

The third girl smiled and said, "Mrs.

Mei Er's house is not shabby.

Look at the deep crimson peony pattern skirt and coat on Mrs.

Mei Er's body.

It is a new style in the imperial capital.

Not to mention the rose purple squirrel satin on the girl Yong Xu.

I heard that in the imperial capital, purple is three times more expensive than other colors for the same material."

"That's why purple is so rare.

I say red is more festive."

The third girl smiled and said, "It is said that the Queen likes purple.

Those officials and wives who come to the palace to pay their respects to the Queen mostly wear purple.

The people in charge like purple.

Isn't purple very valuable?"

Mrs.

He thought for a while and asked them, "How about we each dress in purple?"

Shen smiled, "It's very expensive to come to the Imperial Capital this year, so I won't do it.

Mother and the two girls will do it."

The third girl took Chongyang's little fist out of her mouth, not asking him to eat it, and smiled, "I have enough clothes, so my grandmother and sister should do it."

He Lao Niang said first, "When girl Jianzi got married this year, she had to make many new clothes.

She doesn't have to make new clothes for a year."

Thinking about herself, He Lao Niang said, "Now we are not married.

Let’s talk about purple clothes someday after I fulfill my destiny.”

Everyone laughed.

When the men's winter clothes and shoes are laid out, the weather becomes colder.

Within a few days, the He family received a message from someone sent by the Aluo family, inviting the He family to come over for a chat and a drink.

The He Luo family was arranging a day of rest, and even the Shen family was invited there.

Everyone was having a good time, which meant they recognized each other.

After all, they were all in the imperial capital from now on, and they were all relatives.

It was uncertain in the future.

Coming and going.

The house He Luo rented was very small, with three main rooms and two east and west wings, a total of seven rooms.

However, his family did not have a large population, so they could live in a crowded place.

Old Mrs.

Shen said with a smile, "When Asu first came to the imperial capital, he rented the same house."

When she talked about the difficulties in the past, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Sun family and the Liu family felt that their lives were going well.

When the Shen family comes to the imperial capital, there are no relatives and friends to help them.

Shen Su is responsible for everything.

Now the Shen family is so prosperous.

They don't need He Luo and Shen Subi, but they think that if the family works together and doesn't seek wealth, life will be smooth.

After the He Luo family settled down, they often came to the He family to visit.

One day, the grandmother of the Song family came over to chat with Mr.

Shen.

Just as Mrs.

Sun and Mrs.

Liu came over, everyone was chatting.

Only then did the grandmother of the Song family realize that this was Grandma He Luo's mother.

She smiled very politely and said, "We were talking about it earlier.

Well, I don’t know what kind of people taught a person like He Hanlin, but I understand it after meeting you two."

He also praised He Luo for being young and knowledgeable.

The mother-in-law of the Sun family and the Liu family were also very polite.

When they heard that she was the daughter-in-law of Song Xueshi's family, they quickly became humble and said, "That child is a bit more hard-working and has been honest since she was a child.

You praise her so much."

We are not very familiar with each other yet, so I just want to say some kind words.

Later, Grandma Song came to the He family to talk to Mr.

Shen.

When talking about He Luo, she heard that He Luo rented a house from the imperial court.

She smiled and said, "This is also common.

Everything else in the imperial capital is fine, but the house is too expensive.

If you go to the outer city to buy a house, you can afford it.

However, if you go to the outer city and it is too far from the Yamen, there are many problems.

It's convenient.

Unless you rent it to Wen Daotang in Nancheng, the roads leading to the imperial capital there are smooth.

However, because Mr.

Beiling of Wen Daotang, the house built by the imperial court has long been rented.

It’s usually difficult to rent.

In fact, it’s good to be in the inner city, close to the government office, so it’s cheap for everything.”

Shen said, "That's the reason.

When my mother-in-law first came to the imperial capital, she rented a house.

Over the past ten years, her life has improved, so I often say that life depends on people.

Of course it's good for our ancestors.

But my ancestors didn’t have it, so I have to live up to my expectations.”

Grandma Song smiled, "You understand what you said."

As she spoke, she asked about He Luo's marriage.

Mrs.

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

Shen knew that Grandma Song had two daughters, and the eldest daughter had reached the age of marriage.

Shen said, "A Luo focused on studying knowledge in the past few years and did not propose marriage.

Now that he has finally passed the exam, he will definitely propose marriage."

Grandma Zhi Song must want to know some of the current situation of He Luo's family. , Mrs.

Shen said, "Aluo, this kid, has had a good temper since he was a child, good-natured, sensible and filial. .

We are all from a small place.

The Aluo family is the patriarch of our clan and has one or two thousand acres of land.

He is the only son in his family.

There is one advantage.

His family is the same as mine, there is no mess.

You're a mess, you're talking about concubines, we don't care about that over there."

Grandma Song said quickly, "This is a serious family.

Those families with a house full of wives and girls, how can they be such decent families?

No matter how prominent they are, I can't look down on them."

"We, small families, only focus on living a good life."

Ms.

Shen said with a smile, "Some people say that small families can't be particular even if they want to, but I don't think so.

If there really are such lazy people, Tian If you charge three or five dou more than Li, you can buy a girl and take her as a concubine.

There are many.

If he is a sincere person, like my mother-in-law, it was difficult when she came to the imperial capital.

Life has been good for Asu in recent years.

If he has the heart to take advantage of others, no one can stop him.

If you are not that kind of person, you will naturally not have such intentions.”

Grandma Song even claimed that she was right.

Mrs.

Shen told her daughter about Grandma Song's secret inquiries about He Luo.

He Zijin said, "How did I hear that Mrs.

Song asked her natal nephew?"

Mrs.

Shen said, "It seems that Mrs.

Song's natal nephew is not very promising.

Grandma Song must be dissatisfied, otherwise she will inquire about A Luo."

He Zijin thought for a while and said, "If Grandma Song is really interested, I think she will bring her eldest daughter here next time."

Mrs.

Shen also thought the same thing and said, "Uncle Song is also a Jinshi.

Speaking of which, it would be good if this marriage can come true."

He Zijin also talked to A Nian privately and inquired about Uncle Song's personality.

The father and son, the scholar of the Song Dynasty, also worked in the Imperial Academy.

After hearing about Grandma Song, A-Nian scratched his hairless chin and said with a smile, "It's strange that Uncle Song is always talking to Brother Aluo these days.

It turns out he is looking at Brother Aluo."

He Zijin raised his eyebrows: It seems that this matter is really possible.

The author has something to say: s: I also want to send my greetings to customer service everyone on Christmas.

Merry Christmas gd1806102:
