Chapter 349 Sister Zijin thinks that Yao Jie is a genius.
Although he cannot study well, he is definitely good at diplomacy.
Before he went to Beijingguan to seek a job, he called Jiang Ying "Sister Jiang" .
Oh my god, sister Zijin couldn't stand listening anymore and said to Yao Jie, "Sister Ying is one year younger than you, but you can shout it out."
Yao Jie had a thick skin and said, "I do this mainly to show respect.
Besides, although I am older and taller, I am actually young at heart."
Even Zijin's sister couldn't stand him, and Jiang Ying was also very happy and asked him, "How old do you think you are?"
Yao Jie said confidently, "About seven years old."
Anyway, Yao Jie got close to Jiang Ying when he had time.
Ah Lie was no thicker than Yao Jie.
Ah Lie behaved like a normal sixteen-year-old boy.
He was a little a little bit shy when he saw girls he didn't know very well and were not relatives.
Shy, especially when he is about to get engaged, Ah Lie is quite sensitive about this.
This time A Lie not only sent his cousin Chen Yuan, cousin He Peipei and his wife, but also brought a box that his mother gave to his sister.
He Zijin took it and dropped the box to the ground.
He Zijin said, "What's this heavy thing?"
"When he opened it, he found a box of neat silver coins.
There was a letter on top of the silver coins.
He Zijin took the letter and read it.
He ordered Wanzi to put the silver coins away and hurriedly went to Mrs.
He's room and said, " Grandma, good news.”
Mrs.
He was talking to Mrs.
Jiang.
When she saw her girl coming over, she said it was good news and asked quickly, "What good news?"
He Zijin smiled, "A'lie's marriage to Miss Yu has been decided."
"Seriously" Hearing this news, Mrs.
He's narrowed eyes widened.
"As my mother said in the letter, we have agreed with the Yu family that we will get married this winter.
It is said to be an auspicious day, which will be the eighth day of November."
He Zijin handed the letter to his grandmother.
Mrs.
He hurriedly picked it up.
She looked at it carefully, her face was full of joy, she patted her thigh and said with a smile, "It's such a happy event."
Mrs.
Jiang quickly asked which family this girl Yu was from.
Mrs.
He smiled and said, "She is the granddaughter of Governor Yu's family in Beichang Prefecture."
When Mrs.
Jiang heard that she was the granddaughter of the governor's family, she kept saying, "Hey, this is a perfect marriage."
"Yes."
Madam He said with a smile, "It was not decided yet, so it was hard to tell my in-laws, which is also Ah Lie's blessing.
Since this child became a scholar, many people have inquired about his marriage.
I originally said that he should not be called like this If you get engaged early, you will have to pass the exam no matter what.
No matter what you say, the governor would have fallen in love with him.

Hey, what an unexpected fate."
He Zijin blushed when he heard what Mrs.
He said.
What do you mean by "you have to pass the examination before you say anything?"
Old lady, you are really good at bragging, right?
When Mrs.
Jiang heard what Mrs.
He said, she said, "Hey, you have to get married first and then start a career.
Ah Lie is the eldest grandson.
It's different.
If you settle the marriage first, your character will be determined.
You can make more progress in the future.
I won't delay passing on the family line to you."
Give birth to a great-grandchild.”
"Yes."
He Lao Niang smiled and said to He Zijin, "Didn't your mother tell you to go to the mining market to see if there are any gems of good quality?
You go ahead.
Choose the good one, and don't feel wronged. girl."
"I know."
Mrs.
Shen said in her letter that she wanted to ask her daughter to buy some fine gems on her behalf, wear a gold headband, and make a betrothal gift for Miss Yu.
He Zijin invited Jiang Ying to go with him.
The news spread at an alarming speed.
When He Zijin told Jiang Ying about this, Jiang Ying knew that A Lie was going to be engaged to the Yu family.
Jiang Ying also He said, "The Yu family has a good marriage.
Governor Yu has been in Beichang Prefecture for many years and is well-known as a good official.
The reason why Beichang Prefecture is what it is today is all thanks to Governor Yu who has calmed and cared for the people for many years and lived with the people."
"Yes."
He Zijin asked Jiang Ying to go to the goldsmith's market to buy gems with him.
He Zijin said, "You have good eyesight, help me take a look.
Beiliang is small and narrow, and there are not many gem dealers.
Then there are the foreign merchants from further north.
They often sell gems and jade, but I don’t know much about them.”
Knowing that it was for betrothal, Jiang Ying knew it well and said, "The jade they have there is not quite the same as the jade from our dynasty, but the quality looks good to me.
As for gemstones, we mainly look at rubies.
Engagement is a happy event.
Use more rubies.”
It was originally a matter of women going shopping, but after Yao Jie found out about it, he also went together.
Moreover, Yao Jie did not go there as a bag-carrying boy.
Yao Jie claimed to have a great appreciation of gems.
He went as an expert.
Ah Lie also went together, but Ah Nian did not go because he had to inspect the damaged houses after the snow in the county and distribute relief.
However, as Qian Dingzhu and Wan asked, he entrusted Sister Zijin to his brother-in-law.
What, "Remember to bring hot water when you go out.
On a cold day, don't ask Sister Zijin to drink something cold."

What, "Just go to these places for meals."
The place belongs to Sister Hezijin Taste."
What, "pay more attention, look at sister Zijin, take a rest, don't be in a hurry to buy things."
Anyway, A Lie told Yao Jie, "Brother A Nian has done it since.
The brother-in-law is extremely verbose."
Yao Jie said, "A man should treat his wife like brother A Nian.
Brother A Nian will fall in love at first sight."
Because he has a not-so-good biological father, Yao Jie likes men who are affectionate and righteous to their wives. .
"I know."
Ah Lie said, "Brother A Nian doesn't need to tell me, I can't make my sister and Sister Jiang tired."
After the two talked for a while, they went to check what they needed to bring when going out.
When boys grow up, they will learn to do things spontaneously.
Like Alie Yaojie, they are careful children and have arranged their sisters' trip properly.
Because the third girl, He Qi, had never been to the market, the two of them heard that they were going to see gems, so they went along with them.
What the two of them meant was that, not to mention wearing them themselves, both families had sons, and the gems would not go bad if they were kept.
It would be good to buy some if you like them.
Like A Lie, they could be used as beauties for their daughter-in-law's engagement in the future.
Decent.
Of course, it can also be seen that after these few years of operation, the two families are living a very good life.
Jiang Ren was a familiar customer of the shopping mall, but Hu Wen had never been there, so the two of them went together and brought the goods sold from the imperial capital.
Winter was approaching, and during the New Year, it was time to purchase various goods. peak.
Moreover, since everyone was going, Chen Yuan and He Peipei simply went along to broaden their horizons.
However, when you go to the market, you can buy more than just gems.
You don’t need to buy clothing materials or anything like that.
Jiang Renhuwen sold a lot of clothing materials before coming to Beichang Mansion, so you can always have them if you need them.
It’s just fur, hey, the third girl, He Qi, is calling it a one-stop purchase.
The main thing is not to buy it for yourself, but for the men, children, and parents-in-law in the family, don’t they all wear it?
Originally, He Zijin bought a car last time, but the third girl, He Qi, helped him buy half a car more.
Chen Yuan and He Peipei also bought some, saying that the leather was better than the ones at home.
Even Jiang Ying also bought a lot, not to mention when he went to pick out gems, gems, crystals, amber, gold and silverware, jade, really, he wanted to buy everything he saw.
When we went to the market, we only had four cars.
When we returned home, in addition to the four cars we brought with us, we also rented three cars and came back with a full load.
After this purchase, we rested for two days.
Chen Yuan and He Peipei were about to leave.
He Nian and Wang were still waiting in Beichang Mansion to go to He Han's place.
They were afraid that the old couple would be anxious and the young couple would not be able to stay in Shahe County for a long time. treat.
The young couple were going back to Beichang Mansion, and Ah Lie also had to go back.
He saw that the engagement was coming soon, and there were many things to do at home.
He and his wife were thinking about getting engaged to their eldest grandson.
How could the engagement be arranged without her being at home?
Therefore, we all made preparations to return to Beichang Mansion.
He Zijin said, "Why are you so anxious?
Right now we are just preparing the betrothal gift.
When Ah Lie gets engaged, we all have to go.
Can't we all go together then?"

How can Mrs.
He not be in a hurry?
She is both happy and anxious at the same time.
She said, "How did you know that there are many ways to prepare betrothal gifts?
How can your mother be so busy?
I still have to go back and watch." , otherwise she would have no idea.”
Although He Zijin didn't think so, he couldn't persuade her to do anything, so He Zijin had no choice but to obey the old lady.
Fortunately, it’s not like He Lao Niang has never been on the road in winter, and she found all the thick clothes, thick blankets and so on.
He Lao Niang went back this time, because she was in a hurry, so she didn't take Brother Xing with her.
Brother Xing was undergoing enlightenment with Brother Zhen at Luo Daru's place, so it was not good to delay his homework.
Brother Xing didn't have any objections.
He just asked his new sister-in-law if she was handsome.
After learning that she was very handsome, Brother Xing was very happy to brag to Azhen and even invited Azhen to attend his eldest brother's engagement ceremony.
Azhen agreed solemnly and asked, "Is it possible to take sister Xi with us?"
Brother Xing said, "Of course, my eldest brother is A Xi's uncle."
Azhen was always a little confused in terms of generation.
After thinking about it carefully, she felt that Brother Xing was right, so she went to discuss with Sister Xi what clothes to wear to Brother Alie's engagement ceremony.
Yes, don’t think that children don’t have aesthetics when they are young.
Azhen's children's shoes are unique in their aesthetic appearance.
He saw the leather his sister bought and several strips of red fox fur.
His sister said she would make him a small crane cloak, so Azhen decided to ask her sister to make it for him.
Sister Axi made a red cloak alone.
Azhen also told his sister about the style, "It's the little cloud-shouldered look that sister Zijin made for Axi."
"It's just a small shawl, it doesn't protect you much from the wind."
Azhen's children's shoes are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also very thoughtful.
He told his sister, "The inside is a satin cloak, and the outside is a fox cloud shoulder."
Everyone was about to show off, Jiang Ying smiled, "Okay."
Then he said to A-Zhen, "Why are you so ugly?"
Azhen looked serious and said, "Brother A Lie must be solemn in what he wears when getting engaged."
Azhen also told Ah Xi about making clothes.
Ah Xi was a big talker.
As soon as she spoke clearly, she told Ah Zhen about making new clothes together.
Alas, there are too many children.
Not to mention making clothes, I don’t even dare to drink cold water.
As soon as I heard that A-Zhen and A-Xi were making new clothes, Brother A-yexing didn’t do it.
Also, there was the Chongyang Dabao Erbao Erlang, who was only half-understood.
Seeing that everyone wanted to make new clothes, they couldn’t do it either.
They all asked for new clothes.
He Zijin and He Qi all said, "I've done it now, but not for the New Year."
It doesn't matter what time the children are, as long as they have new clothes to wear.
Fortunately, all the women in the family are good at needlework.
He Zijin is not good at needlework, but the third girl, He Qi, is not that good together.
Zijin can do it quickly.
She only cares about speed and not quality.
He Zijin Zijin made two cotton-padded clothes for Yao Jie in one day.

Like Yao Jie, This person came to Beichang Mansion secretly.
He may have brought a lot of money with him, but he definitely didn't bring enough clothes.
He also gave Yao Jie a new fur from A Nian.
He Zijin said, "Your little boy's There are also two, and I asked him to keep them for a change or something."
Yao Jie was extremely moved, "Sister is my biological sister."
"Okay."
He Zijin also prepared some medicinal materials for him to join the army or something, so that he would be prepared.
Everything was ready here.
Chen Yuan, Peipei Alie, Yao Jie and He Lao Niang went back to Beichang Mansion under the leadership of Jiang Ren's grain transportation team.
After Chen Yuan and He Peipei returned to Beichang Mansion, they directly followed He Nianwang and Jiang Ren's grain transport team to Beijingguan.
Yao Jie did not go directly to Beijingguan because the engagement ceremony of his good friend Ah Lie was coming, so he planned to stay and help.
After his friend got engaged, he would go to Beijingguan to join the army.
Madam He was so busy when she got home that she didn't even care about the bad luck between He Nian and the Wang family.
She first took out the gems that her girl bought and gave them to Shen, and brought back half a box of silver.
Mr.
Shen saw that the gemstones were of good quality and asked, "Why is there so much silver left?"
He Lao Niang smiled, "It sounds like they have benefited from it.
Didn't Aren Awen and the others sell a lot of clothing materials and tea from the imperial capital?
When the jeweler wanted these, it would be cheaper to exchange the two.
I The color of this gemstone is very good.”
"Yes."
Mrs.
Shen saw that the rubies were all uniform in color and were placed in grids in three categories: large, medium and small.
There were also some rare emeralds, crystals, and jade.
These days, jade is not something that was fetched at sky-high prices like He Zijin's previous life.
Unless it is mutton-fat jade or jadeite with excellent water quality, jade is generally not expensive.
What I brought back was a piece of jade, which looked like an irregular brick.
Shen said, "This jade is not small."
He Lao Niang said, "She said it was not jade from our country, but a gem buyer.
She gave her two pieces, and the girl kept one piece.
She asked me to bring this piece back.
But it's very heavy."
Shen said, "I can buy several bracelets.
It would also be nice to make some jade pendants and the like."
Mrs.
He also brought some clothing materials to Mrs.
Shen and said, "My girl asked you to make clothes.
Master Chaoyun gave her the materials.
I think this material is fresh.
It looks a bit bright for you, so it might as well be added to the betrothal gift." , also beautiful.”
When Shen touched the material, it felt silky and smooth, like touching fine jade.
Mrs.
Shen nodded, "It's really good material."
Madam He asked again how much silver had been prepared as a betrothal gift.
Shen said, "A'lie and the three brothers must have a bowl of water.

Our family's requirements are also known to the in-laws.
I thought, prepare one thousand silver.
That’s enough.”
He Lao Niang thought for a while and said, "Miss Yu is of a good background.
Although she doesn't have to look fat, Ah Lie is also the eldest grandson.
In this way, I will add another five hundred to make up one thousand five hundred taels.
The betrothal gift will not be simple."
Thin."
Mrs.
Shen smiled, "Then I won't be polite to mother."
"Why are you so polite?
We, Ah Lie, are so blessed that we could never have imagined."
When she thought of her grandson marrying the governor's granddaughter, He Lao Niang felt jealous in her heart.
Alas, from now on we will be in-laws with the governor's family.
He Lao Niang asked again, "I heard that Miss Yu's father is an official in the imperial capital.
If A Lie is going to the imperial capital, can he go to Yu's family's house to say hello?"
Shen laughed, "Why don't we go?
A'su went with him.
A'lie said that Mr.
Yu was very kind, asked him some homework, and told him to continue to work hard.
Before returning to Beichang Mansion, he also called He went over to eat."
Madam He smiled and said, "That's good, that's good."
If someone doesn't like her grandson, they can't always ask him to eat.
Because her grandson got a good marriage, Mrs.
He specially told Mrs.
Shen, "Don't be stingy in front of others, be honest."
Shen responded with a smile.
However, not much gold is really used for the head and face.
Of course, the handicraft fee is not much more than the gold used to make jewelry.
It was Yao Jie who helped organize the first and last thing.
Yao Jie came from the Imperial Capital and knew the new styles that were popular in the Imperial Capital.
The head and face that Yao Jie created were absolutely light and delicate, a new style that Beichang Mansion had never seen before.
Yao Jie said, "What women like is not necessarily a weighty head and face.
It must be beautiful, look good, and wear it to make a show."
He doesn't even use many gems, just embellish them just right.
When you can beat the boss, take it back and see that everyone agrees.
The He family also discussed the betrothal gift with the Yu family in advance.
The main thing is that the man's betrothal gift should be as much as the girl's dowry for the girl.
Of course, the amount of the dowry depends entirely on the woman’s wishes.
Some are prepared according to the amount of betrothal gift, some are given more, and some are given less, all are different.
But no matter how much it is, the dowry is legally a woman's private property, and the dowry bill must be authenticated by signatures of both parties.
Even in the future, the dowry will still be controlled by the woman, and the husband's family has no right to control the dowry of the daughter-in-law.
The betrothal gift from the He family is not much, but it is not too little either.
In fact, the total amount is more than 1,500 taels.
For example, the rubies used for jewelry, which are exchanged for silk tea leaves, are basically the cost price.

In addition, the two pieces of clothing He Zijin added were tributes sent to Master Chaoyun from the palace.
Considering that Master Chaoyun was the queen's only biological uncle, what he gave him was a tribute to the Yu family.
Not necessarily.
Master Chaoyun knew about Ah Lie's engagement and gave him a pair of mandarin duck pendants.
Therefore, the betrothal gift of the He family cannot be said to be illustrious, but it is indeed a lot of good things.
When Ah Lie was getting engaged, He Zijin, Ah Nian, Hu Wen, the third girl, He Qi Jiangren, Mrs.
Jiang, Mr.
Jiang, Mrs.
Jiang, Mrs.
Jiang Taiye, and all the children came.
It was a lively event.
In Beichang Mansion, the He family was married to the governor's family, so there were many colleagues from all walks of life here.
Of course, most of them are drinking wine together.
These days we are all big families, so even if they are separated, half of the family goes to the governor's house and half goes to He's house, it will be lively enough.
It had been a busy day, and He Gong, who was not a big drinker, got drunk early on.
Mrs.
Shen was better.
On the day of the engagement, Mrs.
Shen had to go there in person to wear a wedding dress for the bride.
He Zijin went to the governor's mansion with Mrs.
Shen.
Mrs.
Shen took out a pair of long ruby hairpins and placed them in Miss Yu's hair.
The Yu family returned with the needlework made by Miss Yu herself.
The engagement ceremony was completed.
Azhen and Xi followed each other in little red cloaks to see the bride.
Azhen really looked at the bride carefully.
Miss Yu was so embarrassed that her face lowered, and he even leaned over and raised her little face.
He looked at her, and then said solemnly, "Not as good-looking as Sister Xi."
He Zijin smiled, "You just like steamed buns."
Seeing that Miss Yu was about to twist the handkerchief into pieces with her hands, he was afraid that Miss Yu would feel uncomfortable, so he hurriedly pulled Azhen to his side.
There is no accuracy when it comes to children's speech, but everyone just laughs it off.
Mrs.
Yu has excellent eyesight.
She had seen Ji Zhen several times when she was a child.
However, Ji Zhen was young at that time and did not remember Mrs.
Yu.
Mrs.
Yu remembers it clearly, mainly because it is rare to see a beautiful little boy like Ji Zhen.
Mrs.
Yu also knew that General Ji Da’s eldest son was studying in Shahe County.
She had an idea in mind and asked with a smile, “Is this A Zhen?”
He Zijin smiled, "Yes.
If I have to follow, I have no choice but to bring them here."
Mrs.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Yu smiled and called A-Zhen to come over, but did not reveal A-Zhen's identity.
She smiled and said, "This child is getting better and better."
She asked the maid to bring fruits for the children to eat.
Mrs.
Yu said with a smile, "It's so lively It would be great if the child comes here, how auspicious it is.”
He Zijin smiled and said, "I don't have many other people in my family, but I have many children."
"A prosperous population is a good sign."
Mrs.
Yu was very satisfied with the He family and praised A Xi for being cute.
He Zijin smiled and said, "I just eat and play silly every day."
"Children of this age are not just fooling around."
The man came over to pierce his wife and ate at the woman's place.
Mother Shen and He Zijin had already dined at Yu's house, and they were already acquaintances.
This time they had dinner, and they became even closer.
All in all, Ah Lie's engagement ceremony was a lively one.
After Ah Lie arranged the wedding ceremony, it was already the twelfth lunar month, so Jiang Ying took his brother home first.
Azhen also wanted to go home to see his little brother.
He was mainly reluctant to leave sister Axi and wanted to take sister Axi to his home.
He Zijin said, "Not now, my sister is still young.
I have to wait until my sister is older before I can be a guest."
Azhen said, "Then we have to wait until how old my sister is."
"As long as you are as old as Azhen."
The cunning adult He Zijin replied.
Azhen was a little unhappy, but she knew in her heart that sister Axi was still young, so she reluctantly looked at sister Axi.
Axi said in a very wise voice, "I gave my little bracelet to Uncle Zhen.
When Uncle Zhen sees my little bracelet, she sees me."
Azhen took a jade pendant from her neck and was about to put it on sister Axi.
She said to sister Axi, "I don't want the bracelet, so give me your pendant."
This small jade pendant was a jade material that He Zijin obtained as a gift from someone in the market.
The leftover material for making bracelets was used by craftsmen to mow the children according to their respective zodiac signs.
A Xi's was a little monkey and A Zhen's was a little dragon.
The two exchanged jade pendants in a disgusting manner, and Azhen told sister Axi to eat well at home.
If she was bullied by Aye, wait until he comes back to teach Aye's nephew for sister Axi.
Well, Azhen's generation has always been very confusing.
In short, A-Zhen kept reminding him from breakfast to supper, which made He Zijin's skin crawl all over.
He strongly suspected that A-Zhen was reborn as a junkie in the eight o'clock stall in her previous life.
This time, Jiang Ying took Azhen home, and Yao Jie followed him to Beijingguan to find a job.
A Nian smiled and said, "Ajie, this boy, has a bright future."
He Zijin said, "I think Ajie is quite good.
There is no harm in being a bit clever.
What matters is that your heart is upright.
As long as your heart is upright, you will be a pillar."
A Nian's eyes narrowed, "Sister Zijin and I said something different."
"What" Anian said, "I think Ajie seems to be interested in Miss Jiang."
He Zijin's eyes widened, "Absolutely impossible" A Nian took Sister Zijin's hand and smiled, "At least I have a good impression."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
"Ajie may want to develop in Beijingguan, but it is impossible for him to get married because of this."
"Sister misunderstood.
I didn't mean that Ajie wanted to marry General Ji's family.
I meant that he was interested in Miss Jiang."
"This is not the same" "Of course it's different."
Ah Nian said, "There are only two possibilities for a man to be attentive to a woman.
One is to get benefits from the woman, and the other is to have a good impression of the woman.
You see, Ah Jie seems to hope to be with her.
He built a good relationship with Miss Jiang and got a good position in Beijing Army.
He may not even realize that he has a crush on Miss Jiang. " He Zijin asked A Nian very humbly, "Even Ajie himself didn't realize it.
How did Mr.
Tanhua realize it?"
Mr.
Tanhua smiled proudly, and quietly hooked Mrs.
Tanhua's palm, his eyes widened with laughter, "Am I someone who has been here before?"
