Chapter 359 The rise of a family is not as smooth as imagined.
No one can suddenly rise a high peak in the vicissitudes of the world as soon as the aura of domineering power is unleashed.
There has never been such a smooth road in the world.
The marriage between He Yu's family was extremely lively.
For example, Shen Su and Aunt He sent people over to give congratulatory gifts even though they were thousands of miles away.
Shen Xuan also wrote a long letter to Ah Lie, writing how much he wanted to attend his brother Ah Lie's wedding.
Then, because his brother Ah Lie passed the scholar examination earlier than him, his father has been forcing him to study for the past two years.
Ask him to go out and see how painful he is at home.
Ah Xuan's letter made people laugh.
Mrs.
He said, "Asu is the same, let Axuan do it.
This is too harsh."
Shen smiled and said, "Axuan will take the scholar examination this year.
His marriage to the Song family has been decided for a long time, and the date will be September this year."
Mrs.
He nodded and said to Mrs.
Shen, "Don't forget to prepare a generous gift for Ah Xuan."
"I know."
The congratulatory gift from Uncle Feng's family was also sent by the steward.
Knowing that Feng Yi was in spring this year, He asked if he had won the prize.
The steward said, "I guess he is taking the exam now."
He Lao Niang recalled the time when her son and granddaughter-in-law took the Chunwei exam, and nodded, "That's right, I'm afraid they are taking the exam right now."
She also said, "Tomorrow I will go to the temple to burn incense for A-yi in front of Manjushri Bodhisattva. ” He Zijin knew that his mother was not free, so he smiled and said, "I will go with my grandmother."
Mother He naturally praised her and said to the Feng family manager, "When A-yi passes the exam, you have to give me a letter."
He Zijin smiled, "Grandma, don't worry.
When the Chunwei list comes out, it will be sent to the state capital together with the newspaper.
My father is in the Department of Education and Political Science, and they must have a copy.
Is Brother Ayi here at the time of introduction?"
You’ll know if it’s on the list.”
Mrs.
He felt relieved and said with a smile, "That's the truth."
As the chief of the personal bodyguard of General Ji, Yu Hehan couldn't live without her, and his wife, Mrs.
Li, was pregnant again.
He Nian Wang's family was not welcomed by He Lao Niang.
Fortunately, Yao Jie's duties were not as important as He Han's, so it was easy to ask for leave, so he brought all the congratulatory gifts from both families.
When Yao Jie came to He's house, most of the people didn't recognize him, thinking he had met Hu Hu and entered the city.
Mrs.
He said, "Oh, Ajie, you haven't married a wife yet, so you need to tidy up."
Such a bearded man, who looks like he is thirty, who can be as good as a son-in-law?
Chongyang admired Yao Jie's beard very much.
While stroking his hairless chin, he said with bright eyes, "Uncle Ajie, your beard is so handsome and powerful."
Not wanting to meet his aesthetic soulmate again, Yao Jie stroked his beard with satisfaction and nodded, "A man must have a strong back and even sideburns."
Having said that, in order to show off his handsome face, Yao Jie is still very meticulous.
After tidying up, he shaved cleanly, revealing his handsome face.
Don't look at Yao Jie, who looked like a man in his thirties when his face was full of beard.

After shaving his beard, he still has a handsome face, and his flesh and skin are also very delicate.
He is definitely not like a person who is exposed to the wind and sun every day in Beijingguan.
If you dress up a little, you can pretend to be a member of an aristocratic family.
Of course, this is Yao Jie’s maintenance.
Axi's aesthetics are different from Chongyang.
Axi commented seriously, "Uncle Ajie looks good now."
Yao Jie laughed loudly, lifted up Axi and threw it twice.
Axi liked this game very much when she was a child.
Now, um, she still likes it.
To what extent, no one in the family wants to play with her.
When I was a child, the dumplings weighed only about ten kilograms, and I could toss them around.
Now that Axi is three years old, she has grown taller, and is still fleshy.
Oh, I can't throw it.
As for Yao Jie, he was on a war mission in Beijingguan.
He was very strong and could throw it easily.
He shook off the little flower hairpin and bells on Axi's head.
Axi was still giggling, Ji Zhen hurriedly picked up her little hairpin and said to Yao Jie with a serious face, "Brother Ajie, please be more steady."
Yao Jie really calmed down his serious little face.
He put Axi on the ground, and Azhen smoothed Axi's pigtails, inserted flowers and hairpins into her hair, and then pulled Axi away.
As he walked, he said, "Brother Ajie is not stable at all.
When I grow up, I can throw my sister up.
Sister, don't worry."
Axi said, "Uncle, you need to eat more, I see you are thinner than me."
"I'm so skinny, do you know?"
"What does it mean to be thin?"
"It means being thin, strong, and powerful."
Ah Xi glanced at Uncle Ji Zhen suspiciously, as if she understood something.
When Ji Zhen saw that his sister was doubting him, he immediately said, "It's easy for me to hold my sister, but she can't hold me anymore."
That's true.
Ah Xi believed Uncle Ah Zhen’s argument.
The two happily walked away hand in hand.
Yao Jie: Why are you so thin?
This guy is really good at making up.
Are your little arms and legs?
How did you get so thin?
However, this guy is Sister Jiang's younger brother.
It's okay to have a good relationship with his brother-in-law at any time.
Yao Jie took a few steps to catch up and said for himself, "Azhen, my brother is happy to see you.
In fact, he is very stable."
As he said this, he made a steady face with his head held high.
Ji Zhen said "Oh" and nodded, "Then you can't mess with Sister Xi casually from now on.
You will mess up Sister Xi's braids just now."
It turns out that throwing away "Sister Xi" is not prudent.
Yao Jie said, "Azhen, didn't you say that you would throw Axi away when you grow up?
Then you are not prudent either?"

Ji Zhen glanced at Yao Jie with wide eyes and said, "But I will pay attention to whether my sister is wearing a hairpin on her head and a small jade pendant on her body.
I won't let my sister drop it on the floor.
This is the difference between stability and instability. " Yao Jie received the biggest blow since his birth.
He said to Ah Lie privately, "My brother-in-law is so eloquent, it's hard to please him."
Ah Lie said to him, "What kind of brother-in-law, he has a door to his mouth?
Ah Zhen is very smart, tell him to go back and tell his parents as soon as he hears it."
Yao Jie was depressed and couldn't say anything yet.
Fortunately, Yao Jie came over to attend the wedding and help, so he didn't feel depressed for long.
Yao Jie also attended official school in the imperial capital, and he was older than Ah Lie.
He was not very familiar with Yu Xiu, who was younger, but he was acquainted with Yu Jun.
When Yu Jun saw Yao Jie, he said, "I didn't know you were coming to Beichang Mansion."
Yao Jie smiled, "Hey, it's not easy to get along in the imperial capital.
I'm not like Brother Ayu who can study and just go out to look for a future."
He added, "What a coincidence, Brother Ayu and Brother Ayu actually got married. .
It’s really fate.”
His sister's wedding was coming soon.
Yu Jun was in a good mood and asked Yao Jie what his current job was.
The main reason was that his grandfather was the governor of Beichang Prefecture.
He and Yao Jie knew each other.
Although they were not very familiar with each other, if Being able to take care of her, the Yu family is not a small person.
When he learned that Yao Jie had established a hundred households in Beijingguan, Yao Jie nodded, "A Jie has great skills."
Ah Lie also said, "Wasn't it still the general flag years ago?"
Yao Jie smiled, "We are very lucky.
We went out in the spring and killed hundreds of bandits.
We were promoted to a hundred households based on merit."
Ah Lie smiled and slapped Yao Jie on the shoulder and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?
We have to congratulate you."
Yao Jie raised his eyebrows, "Aren't I afraid that my new family will steal the limelight from you, the groom-to-be?"
Ah Lie was about to hold a banquet to celebrate Yao Jie, and Yao Jie said, "Your family is now hosting relatives and friends.
When you get married, just invite me along with your siblings."
Ah Lie smiled and agreed, and said to Yu Jun, "When the time comes, eldest brother and Xiu brother will also come together."
Yu Jun smiled, "I'll come even if you don't invite me."
He also praised Yao Jie for being promising, and Ah Lie also took advantage of the opportunity to praise his friend with his brother-in-law.
At the beginning of last year, he was no more than a small flag, but at the beginning of this year, he was exhausted due to his military exploits.
Hu, it was Yao Jie who was so shameless.
Otherwise, he would have been too embarrassed to listen anymore.
Those who didn’t know would have thought that A Lie was not talking about Yao Jie, but Erlang God in the sky.
Yu Jun came from a family of officials.
Although he didn't know much about military generals, he admired Yao Jie's promotion based on military merit.
Also, Yao Jie was of top quality in stature and appearance.
When he was in the official school, Yao Jie did not do well in school, but he was quite popular in the official school.
Moreover, although the Yao family is not a wealthy family in the imperial capital, it is also a well-to-do family.
Yu Jun thought about it, there were no suitable sisters in the family, but there were sisters of a similar age in the clan.
I feel that Yao Jie can achieve great military success with his own abilities.
If one inquires about his character, he is also a good candidate for the clan's sister-in-law.

Well, since he is about to marry his sister, Yu Jun will think about it every time he sees a nice young man.
A-Nian was the last one to arrive.
Since the Yue family was married to Governor Yu's family, and Governor Yu was a person who cared about official reputation, A-Nian had no choice but to arrive too early.
A-Nian was the late emperor's last prize winner, and had a high status in the merit list.
Yu Jun was older than A-Nian, and now he was just a candidate, so he was very polite to A-Nian.
Ah Nian, Yao Jie, Hu Wen, and Jiang Ren were also invited by A Lie to be the wedding envoys, and they all rode a tall horse to welcome the bride.
All four of them had very neat looks, and A Lie was dressed in a bright red brocade robe and led the wedding team to the Yue's house, playing and playing.
Governor Yu and Mrs.
Yu saw Ah Lie's handsome features and handsome appearance.
An old lady of her age liked handsome young men the most, and she was very satisfied with Ah Lie.
Ah Lie was only embarrassed and wrote a few poems, and then successfully received the bride.
Although there was only one day to get married, the He family had been busy with preparations half a month ago.
However, watching Ah Lie come to the church and pay a grand ceremony, even He Zijin felt that even though he was tired, , also worth it.
After Ah Lie got married, the relatives saw the bride the next day, and He Zijin, Ah Nian and the others went back to Shahe County.
After all, everyone is busy.
Officials have to do errands, and business people have to take care of the shop.
These are the two old men, Mr.
Jiang and Mrs.
Jiang.
Jiang Ren saw that his father and grandfather had nothing to do, and they were still young.
Jiang Ren was born to do business.
Jiang Ren refused to let his father and grandfather idle, so he asked his father and grandfather to help manage the newly built Dazhuang farmland of Jiang Ren.
Needless to say, the father and grandfather worked extremely hard.
Even the children have to go back to class and study.
So, he said goodbye to his elders and took his children back to Shahe County.
Mrs.
He doesn't plan to go to Shahe County anymore.
She thinks that the new daughter-in-law has just entered the house.
As a mother-in-law, she has to give the new daughter-in-law some guidance on how to live.
Unexpectedly, not even two months later, Mrs.
He went to Shahe County again in May.
She came with Hu Wen's convoy on his way back to Beijingguan to deliver military rations.
He Zijin also said, "Grandma can't explain it."
Mother He said, "I'm thinking about the children."
She didn't say anything in person.
At night, she asked the girl to sleep in the same room with her, and then she talked about the matter.
Mrs.
He sighed, "How can I live like this?
Girl, you don't know, I'm so depressed."
She even rubbed her chest as she spoke.
In fact, He Zijin noticed it as soon as He Lao Niang came.
The old lady was always in high spirits when she came back, but this time she looked like an old eggplant beaten by frost, and she looked like something was wrong.
He Zijin asked, "What's wrong?"
He handed the old lady a glass of honey water.
Even if my own girl doesn’t ask, He Lao Niang will still say it.

Mrs.
He drank half a cup of honey water, but she actually had no intention of drinking it.
She put the honey water on the small kang table beside her and started talking, "I really can't stand it anymore.
Since I entered our house, , nothing is satisfactory.
Mrs.
Zhou has been cooking all her life and is famous for her good cooking skills in our county.
Even in Beichang Prefecture, our family entertained other people’s official wives.
People said that Mrs.
Zhou’s cooking was good. , the pheasant mushroom soup that Mrs.
Zhou cooked, my aunt and uncle said it was very delicious.
Fortunately, she was married to a cook, so let her cook.
Do what you eat.
I know she is a girl from a wealthy family, and she is very particular.
You don’t know what kind of food she eats.
Maybe she likes to eat vegetarian food.
Boil two Eat small green vegetables.
When eating fish, I think the fish from Beichang Prefecture are all river fish, saying they have an earthy smell.
We buy the big fish live and have to keep them in the tank for several days.
I eat it just to get rid of the earthy smell.
There's no earthy smell.
When people eat fish, they just eat the bits of meat under the fish's face.
I'm at home and only eat the leftovers.
She made soup, so I just ate the chicken and the pork ribs in the soup.
Yes.
She ate the meat from the fish face. , I just eat the meat from the belly of the fish, it is fragrant and has no thorns, not to mention the soup she asked the cook to cook.
It took three days and three nights to cook such a bowl of sea cucumber, fish maw, and scallops.
Is it possible that the food in the sea is just that?
It's not fishy anymore, it's still fishy.
She doesn't mind the smell anymore.
Ah Lie loves braised mutton.
Every time she eats mutton, she has to brush her teeth three times, otherwise she won't be able to stand it.
I'll let you know.
If you want to do this at home, it will kill me."
He Zijin was speechless when he heard this, and advised his grandmother, "This is because the habits of each family are different.
At worst, we can eat in separate rooms.
You, my mother, and my father will take Brother Jun to eat, and call them Ah Lie and Ah Xing can eat together, that’s fine.
Divide the cooking pot and clean up a small kitchen for Xing, so she can cook whatever she likes.”
"It's divided, you think there's nothing left," Mrs.
He said angrily, "Half a month after we got married, your mother saw that I was unhappy here, so she divided the kitchen."
"You won't be angry at all."
"If it's because of the stutter, I can bear it.
How did you know that now your mother is planning to buy a house again?
She has bought the house next door.
She will take advantage of the warm weather to clean it up and let Ah Lie and the others live in that courtyard.
She has too many maids and wives to live in," Mrs.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
He complained, "Your mother was also very worried, so she bought the house next door.
Come.
Otherwise, our family will not be able to live anywhere.
Our family is in the compound where we are a junior.
There are twenty-five houses in total, and there is really no place for us to live.
Go.
It’s hard for us to say anything to others.
We can’t let a new daughter-in-law come in and not even ask others to eat.
I don’t know if she looks down on our family.
At first, she even said the rice was soft and hard.
It was no longer fragrant.
I said, this is the rice given to the emperor.
If the rice is not good, I don’t know what kind of rice is better.
This makes me so angry.
Yes, our family is not a big family, and we have never suffered from food problems.
We don’t know what is the right way to eat the tender toona buds in spring, not mixed with them.
Just mix it with scrambled eggs and fried toon fish.
She thinks the fried eggs are too bland, and the fried toon fish is even more oily.
Use diced pheasants and fry them in chicken fat.
She must use chicken fat.
Fried, isn't chicken fat just oil?
Your mother couldn't stand it anymore, so she bought a house and asked them to move out.
It doesn't count as a separation. " "There is also the fragrance of fumigating the house.
Our house is fumigated with flowers, grass, etc., and it is quite fragrant.
Rich people are very particular about what kind of ambergris they use.
One ounce of gold and one ounce of incense.
I don't know what she does.
One or two pieces of incense can fill the house for several days."
Mrs.
He shook her head as she said, "She can spend whatever she wants on her wedding.
I also know that wealthy families have a lot of incense.
This is also her preference.
My name is Miss Qianjin.”
He Zijin advised, "Everyone has their own way of living in this life.
As long as the couple is happy, that's fine.
Grandma, you have my mother here.
My mother should be just like you."
"Your mother is not happy either.
I can hide here with you, out of sight and out of mind.
How can you leave your mother?
At first, I thought, let her take care of the house after marrying my daughter-in-law.
How can I take care of everything?
Now the money she spends on one dish is enough to feed our family for a month.
Let's live separately.
They have their own courtyard.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
What does she want?
We have Brother Jun and Brother Xing in our family.
In the future, we will marry a wife, buy a house, and buy land, so there will be plenty of money to spend."
Mrs.
He sighed, "I understand. , From now on, we will marry Brother Jun and Brother Xing, and we can no longer talk to this kind of wealthy lady.
She has to write a word or buy a piece of paper with flowers printed on it.
She is not from the same family. " He Zijin said, "Axing also has the benefits of Axing, at least he's not petty."
"It's not a small thing."
He Lao Niang said, "You want to eat the best and wear the best.
Even a small person can't bear to part with it."
He Zijin was silent for a long time and said, "People don't act like this when they come to our house.
Grandma, they act like this when they are at their parents' house."
Madam He said, "When I went to Governor Yu's house before, I never thought my wife was like this."
Not to mention that Mrs.
He didn't realize it, even He Zijin didn't notice it either.
He Zijin had to say, "Look at Master Chaoyun, Master Chaoyun is like this, he pays attention to everything."
He Lao Niang said, "How can our family compare with Master Chaoyun?"
"But Ah Xing was like this when she was a girl.
A rich family has its own standards.
We think she is extravagant.
In fact, she has been like this since she was a child, so we can't pick on others."
He Zijin said, "Besides, this They have just gotten married, and they have to adapt to each other.
Again, they are a young couple.
As long as Ah Xing brings a lot of servants and buys a house, they can start their own business and take care of their own affairs, as long as they do as they please.
I’m just happy.
I’ll give my grandma a great-grandson in a year or two, so there’s nothing to complain about.”
He Zijin still listened to He Lao Niang's words.
He Lao Niang sighed, "When it comes to marriage, you should pay attention to the right family.
This old saying cannot be wrong.
At that time, Governor Yu's family revealed that they wanted to get married.
Our family Without even thinking about it Thinking about it, I am happy to patronize you.
Hey, this Aixing has her own advantages.
She is now a daughter-in-law.
I won’t pick on her.
Even if I can’t stand it, I will endure it.
I just come here to talk to you.
I feel happy.
Forget it.”
"Isn't that the reason?"
He Zijin smiled, "Grandma, don't worry, I have to tell you something, you will definitely be happy."
"What's the matter"
"My mother's pickle shop is extremely popular.
We can't even sell enough spicy cabbage.
My mother will definitely make a fortune this year."
Mother He said, "That spicy cabbage was not available at first."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
"People didn't eat it at first, but now there are so many people buying it that they are all out of stock.
It's a pity that there is no cabbage now, otherwise we would pickle another batch and make sure to sell it."
He Zijin said, "Look, the new As soon as my daughter-in-law entered the house, my mother’s business became prosperous.”
After being enlightened by her granddaughter, Mrs.
He also figured it out, but she was unforgiving and said, "I just hope that I won't lose the family.
It's not me who said that her dowry is thick and it is worth it.
How much is the dowry?
Her husband's family didn't spend a single copper coin on her, so she just spent it like this without thinking about the future."
"How do you know they didn't think about it?"
He Lao Niang is also a person of this age and has experienced a lot.
He Lao Niang said, "Girl, don't tell me, how do I know?
I can tell at a glance what a scheming person is, and what a non-scheming person is."
Like this.
Even a big business owner has to have a place to make money, so her The dowry is only a few thousand silver in cash.
There is no way to live a life without calculation.
Even the emperor has to figure it out.
She has money and spends it as she wants.
It depends on how she wears the same mutton after spending the dowry.
Mrs.
Zhou bought more than She's half the price.
Your mother is kind enough to talk to her in private.
He said, what she said, you have to ask the servants to get some benefits.
You are really a fool and you don't care.
Today's price will be twice as much, and tomorrow's price will be twice as much.
No matter how much you want to ask your servants to get more money, even if the monthly salary goes up, there will still be nothing to lose.
On the face, you asked the servants to secretly get money.
Who would have thought that your good intentions would go behind your back and you would have to say that she has no knowledge of economic affairs.
Moreover, I have never heard of such a level of false reporting of accounts, and the loyalty of not caring about it is not like this.
Let’s wait and see what she raises, sooner or later she will suffer.”
"You will gain wisdom after you have been hurt."
He Zijin was a little unhappy hearing these things, but it was not that Yu Xing was not suitable for the environment of the He family.
Fortunately, I come from a wealthy family.
Furthermore, when a new daughter-in-law marries into her husband's family, there are many things to adjust to.
It's just that I understand why the Yu family married off their eldest granddaughter.
Even Yu is not a smart person.
My mother-in-law is kind enough to give you some advice.
If you don’t listen to me like this, who will talk to you in the future?
She is so smart for nothing, that is, her family is kind.
In addition, Yu Xing is married to a low-born family, and the He family is considered to be high-married, so she depends on her for everything.
Otherwise, she would not know how to live in a rich family. .
In other words, all wealthy people live like Yu Xing.
Alas, He Xiaoxian'er, who has been born in the grassroots for both his life, may not be able to answer this question. gd1806102:
