Chapter 399 Ah Lie was going to Beijingguan with his son and wife.
Originally, Yu Xing was worried about taking the child out.
Ah Lie said, "Let's go to the imperial capital.
I can't bear to be separated from my son if I don't take Ah Chan with me.
Beijing" Jingguan is not far away, so take it to Ajie for a look.
I have already agreed with him that he will be the in-laws of his children in the future."
Yu Xing was outraged by her husband's indiscriminate engagement of his children, and said, "You are like this again.
You decide your son's fate without even saying a word."
"What's the matter?
Ajie is very nice.
Not to mention my friendship with Ajie, you and Sister Jiang also know each other.
Our two families are very good, and it is best to be the parents of children."
Ah Lie said.
A natural look.
Yu Xing said, "In the future, you are no longer allowed to make random promises about marriage.
If the two families are on good terms with each other, it will depend on whether the child's temperament and temperament are compatible.
Now I only have A Can, and I will promise you as many families as you want.
From now on, the Yao family If you want to get married, your sister’s family also needs to get married.
How many sons do you have?”
Ah Lie said, "Why are you so anxious?
My sister has a baby only once every five years, so it won't happen this time.
Our family will have a second child next year."
Seeing his rogue appearance, Yu Xing forced an angry smile and said angrily, "You are a Jinshi master, and you have no rules for what you say.
Remember my words, and you are not allowed to get married indiscriminately.
It is for your own good if you don't know.
If the children don't get along with each other in the future, if you promise to get married now, then you should get married later.
The children won't be happy if you don't get married.
Isn't it harmful to the friendship?"
"I know, I know."
Ah Lie responded lazily.
He didn't like it at first glance, and I was fortunately annoyed.
As a result, when they arrived at Beijingguan, Ah Lie naturally wanted to bring his wife and son to meet his friends.
Yao Jie was even more happy to see Ah Lie than to see his second uncle and aunt, so he clasped his fists from afar and said, "Oh, He Hanlin is here." " Ah Lie returned the gift with a smile, but also pretended to be, "Where are you?
I'm here to congratulate Mr.
Yao Qian."
Former classmates and friends are now their own futures.
The two of them laughed as they spoke.
Yao Jie met his uncle and aunt again.
Fortunately, Yao Jie always called him brother and sister.
He was particularly happy to see Acan.
He hugged Acan and said, "This is my son-in-law."
"You look handsome."
Ah Lie was very proud.
Ajie said, "My daughter will never be ugly again."
Before he finished speaking, Acan's little hands swished out the hosta from Yao Jie's head.

His hands were so quick that Yao Jie's neck did not escape Achan's touch.
Kuaishou, Yao Jie said straight away, "Hey, this kid has the talent of a martial arts master."
"There is no time to be honest now."
Ah Lie went to take the hosta from his son's hand.
The child didn't like it much when he got it, but he refused to let go.
Yao Jie said with a smile, "This is a meeting gift for my son-in-law."
Tong Alie said, "You can put it away later.
It will be a proof of our marriage in the future."
He Lie immediately agreed and glanced at Yu Xing, who pulled out a Bushao from his head.
He Lie took it and said to Yao Jie, "This is for my daughter-in-law."
Yao Jie happily carried it in his arms to avoid being taken away by A Can.
Then, Ah Chan laid his big head on Yao Jie's chest and arched and rocked, causing Yao Jie to mutter, "Oh, oh, oh, ah, he wants to feed, right?
He wants to eat, right?"
"Milk bar" made everyone in the room burst into laughter.
Yu Xing hurriedly stepped forward and picked her up in her arms, looking a little embarrassed.
Second Aunt Yao smiled and said, "You men, please talk here.
The weather is nice today.
Let's go for a walk in the garden and take a look at you."
How is the house being cleaned up?"
Yao Jie said hurriedly, "My second aunt and my younger siblings are here to help."
Second Aunt Yao smiled, "No need to be polite, we are not outsiders."
She and Yu Xing took A Can to the garden.
Yao Jie smiled when he thought about his marriage, and asked, "Sister Zijin didn't come."
"The big mess at my sister's house is okay.
It's just that Brother A Nian can't take care of the kids at home.
She'll come over on the right day.
I'll come over first to help you take care of it, so that you don't understand the art of getting engaged.
"Alie laughed.
"I don't know much about anything, but I really want someone who can read to cheer me up, so that my son can be both civilized and martial in the future."
Yao Jie was in high spirits at the happy event and said with a smile, "I came from Qian'er's residence.
At that time, I saw the Chunwei list, and Brother Ahan and I were very happy to know that you were on the list.
We even had a drink together.
This is not in vain for you to study for many years. " Ah Lie said with a smile, "We are now blessed with a double blessing.
I only found out about you and Sister Jiang in the Imperial Capital.
It's really worth your wait these years."
Yao Jie said, "Since I am sincere, Sister Jiang can naturally see it."
He and his second uncle Yao asked how the elders in the family were doing, mainly because they were concerned about their grandmother, Mrs.
Yao.
Uncle Yao smiled and said, "It's all good.
The old lady and your father knew that you had a future and that your marriage was planned, and they were all very happy.
In previous years, your grandmother would always get sick in the spring and summer, but this year there is nothing wrong with your health.
You I brought back the red ginseng and deer bark and hired our usual doctor. , take care of it slowly, don’t mention it, red ginseng is really good for nourishing people.
The old lady is thinking about your marriage now, so she asked your second aunt to come with me, and brought a lot of good things from the old lady.
As for fish and wine, they are really not cheap on the road, so just buy them now.”
Yao Jie sighed, "As long as grandma is in good health, I'll be relieved."

He didn't mention a word about his father.
As for his marriage, Yao Jie said, "My second uncle and second aunt are here to help."
Second Uncle Yao smiled, "We are here just to take care of your business.
What's the trouble?
Your father is busy with government affairs, otherwise, he would come here in person."
I still have to say a few good words for my eldest brother.
Ah Lie also said, "Uncle Yao misses you very much.
He hasn't heard from you in the past few years, and he even posted a list and issued a reward to find you.
I didn't know about this.
If I had known, I would have gone to publish the list to earn money." " Even though Yao Jie had objections to his father, he was quite amused when he heard this and said, "Why is this so?"
Second Uncle Yao said, "When you have a son, you will understand the heart of a father.
Your brothers often make me very angry when they are at home.
When I get angry, I wish I could beat them to death with a stick.
But, this means that Having said that, I am truly willing to give up.
The eldest son is different from other sons.
In the father's heart, the eldest son is the most important to continue the lineage.
Your grandmother heard the news that your old illness has improved.
Your father was relieved.
I was ill, and it was warm when I came."
The conversation left Yao Jie speechless.
He was intentionally raised badly by his stepmother when he was a child.
However, the relationship between him and his father was not much better.
Of course, Yao Jie had to admit that he did not like him much when he was a child.
As long as his father likes it, he will often cause trouble for his father.
Uncle Yao's words were just enough.
Yao Jie asked his uncle's family to settle down with A'lie's family at his home.
In the evening, Uncle Yao still talked to his nephew about the marriage in secret, not for anyone else, but for others. , Miss Jiang’s fate is really not a secret in Beijingguan.
The last time Yao Ershu came to Beijingguan, he stayed at his home until after the Chinese New Year.
He had already known about Miss Jiang’s murder of her two fiancés.
Hear.
This matter was originally just heard as gossip, but I didn't expect that the letter my nephew sent home was to get engaged to this girl Jiang.
Second Uncle Yao is a calm man, so no one said anything about this matter, but quietly mentioned it to his eldest brother. carry.
Lord Yao thought about it for a long time and then said to his younger brother, "Since all the letters have been sent back, the marriage will be inseparable.
Hey, we who read the books of sages don't care much about these fates.
We must really follow the fates.
For example, in the past few years when Ajie went to Beijingguan to fight, if his fate Generally speaking, I have already told you this.
Don't mention it to others, especially in front of the old lady.
The second brother will go to Beijingguan and ask the evil boy if he knows about it.
If you don’t know whether to get married or not, let him think carefully.”
After receiving the explanation from his eldest brother, Second Uncle Yao naturally wanted to ask his nephew.
Yao Jie said bluntly, "Those are just nonsense, Second Uncle don't take it to heart."
Uncle Yao knew what his nephew was thinking, so he stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Since you know it, don't listen to villains in the future, and don't mention it in front of your nephew and wife."
Yao Jie thought that his second uncle was advising him to be careful about his marriage.
He didn't know that his second uncle actually said such words.
Yao Jie said, "Second uncle, don't worry.

Sister Jiang and I have known each other for many years, and we know each other's temperament. " Uncle Yao smiled, "That's good."
He was thinking about whether he should go to the temple to ask for a peace charm or something for his nephew to wear to keep him safe.
Speaking of things like talismans, Yu Xing said to her husband in the evening, "After you left, I was thinking about whether you were safe on the road.
Later, you sent a letter back from the imperial capital, and I felt relieved.
I will wait until the spring days." , I couldn’t sleep well again, I dreamed of you the first day I failed the exam, and the next day I dreamed about your title on the gold medal list.
I didn’t know what it meant.
Fortunately, my eldest sister knew how to interpret dreams, and she often interpreted it for me.
She also gave me this jade talisman.
I haven’t done that at night since I put it under my pillow.
What a messy dream.”
Ah Lie took the jade talisman and looked at it again and again, but he couldn't see any magic.
Even though his sister was a little fairy, Ah Lie didn't know anything about these Shinto matters.
He just said, "Then just take it with you."
What his sister gave him must be useful.
Yu Xing said, "In the past, I heard my grandma say that my eldest sister can do divination, but I was not convinced.
But about your Spring Festival, I am really convinced.
My eldest sister's divination is very accurate."
Ah Lie was very proud of his sister's skills and told his wife, "When I was a kid, my eldest sister was famous in our hometown and Hexian County.
At that time, people had to be ranked in order to ask for divination from my eldest sister.
At that time, there was also reselling.
Our number plate is for free, so someone I got the number plate in advance and then resold it to people who needed it.
Those who were impatient could go there earlier.
Later, when it turned out that this was not possible, the eldest sister said that I had to pay five taels of silver for each number plate, so people would still come to resell it.
Afterwards, the eldest sister was no longer willing to guess the number plate.”
Yu Xing heard about her eldest sister's supernatural powers and asked her husband, "I told you to live with my mother-in-law in the imperial capital.
The house has been cleaned up for you, so why do you have to live in the annex of my uncle's house?"
Ah Lie said, "On the one hand, I want to study quietly, and on the other hand, I want to go to the Jinshi Hall to listen to Chun Wei's teachings.
I know the kindness of my father-in-law and mother-in-law.
I often go to pay my respects to my father-in-law and mother-in-law, that is, my grandparents.
He misses us very much.”
Yu Xing took off the hairpin, slowly combed his long hair, and said, "Then this time, I have to go to the imperial capital with you."
"It's natural.
Isn't it already agreed upon?"
Ah Lie said, "Before I came back, I made an agreement with the family who rented our house.
We asked them to vacate the house before five months.
We also have a house to live in in the imperial capital. ” Yu Xing said, "It's the house near Tongji Street."
Speaking of which, the location of this house is very good.
"Yes."
Ah Lie told his wife in advance, "That's what my uncle gave to my sister, but it doesn't matter if we stay here."
"That's my sister's house."
Yu Xing thought it belonged to her husband's family.
"Yes."
Ah Lie said, "When my uncle bought a house, there happened to be two houses next to each other, both of which were large houses.
So my uncle bought them both and gave one to my sister."
Yu Xing was puzzled and turned to look at her husband and said, "This is so strange.

Even if my uncle gives away a house, it should be given to my mother."
It is a common thing to subsidize the elder sister from her mother's side.
How can I bypass my sister and directly subsidize my niece?
Ah Lie said to his wife, "You don't know the reason for this."
He told her about the time when her sister earned money from selling flowers and sent money to her uncle, and said, "At that time, life was difficult for both our family and my uncle's family.
Our family is better off.
We have a house and land.
How much money can we spend on food and drink?
That is to say, the family spends the most money on education.
My uncle has just arrived in the Imperial Capital and lives in the Imperial Capital.
It was so difficult that the whole family even rented the house from the imperial court.
Even if the family wanted to do so, they couldn't help my uncle.
Just as my sister's flowers were selling for a lot of money, we discussed with my father and sent them to my uncle.
With some money, my uncle opened a Jinshi Hall, which made his life better.
Later, he returned the money to my sister and bought her a house."
This was also the reward for my eldest aunt's kindness.
Yu Xing didn't say anything else after hearing this, and said, "This is also the bond between our two families."
"Yes."
Ah Lie said, "When our father and brother A Nian came to Chunwei, the imperial capital, the whole family came.
If it hadn't been for the house given by my uncle, the whole family could have been accommodated, but I don't know It’s going to cost so much and cause so much trouble.”
Yu Xing quietly asked her husband, "How did I hear that my uncle fell in love with my eldest sister?"
"Don't talk nonsense.
My uncle and his family went to the Imperial Capital very early.
Brother A-Nian and his sister grew up as childhood sweethearts.
As soon as the sister was born, they got engaged.
Even after arriving in the Imperial Capital, Brother A-Xuan had already agreed on the marriage of Song Hanlin's family.
Lady."
"I'm just curious.
Our family is so close to my uncle's family and my aunt's family.
Why didn't we get married in the first place?"
Yu Xing had also heard some gossip in the past few years since she married into the He family.
"It's far away.
My sister is the only daughter in the family.
Because my aunt is married far away and my uncle is an official in far away places.
I haven't seen him for many years.
My grandmother is married to my aunt, so I decided to give her to my sister in our county. inside I want to find someone who lives close by.
When Brother A Nian heard about it, he immediately bought a house behind our ancestral home.
There is no one closer than him."
A Lie said and laughed.
Sachiya sounded very ridiculous.
Yu Xing smiled and said, "Actually, I was also married to a small house in the imperial capital, but it is not bigger than my sister's house and only has three entrances."
Ah Lie said, "I don't know about this.
If I had known it earlier, we could live in your house.
There are only a few people in our family, and the house is too big for us to move in."
Yu Xing was used to living in a big house.

At first, she thought her husband's house was too small and she wanted to build a garden.
She didn't agree with her husband's words and said, "It's so big.
Although we don't have many people, we still have a lot of people in the house."
But a lot.
Besides, Brother Jun.
Looking forward to the autumn of the next year and the spring of the year after that, when I arrived in the capital, I had to have a place to live.
I also said that the place where I was married was too small.
I didn't expect to return to the capital so soon.
This time, I went back to the capital.
Mom, give me a big house."
Ah Lie said hurriedly, "Don't be like this.
How can a married girl ask for a house from her parents' family?
Let my mother-in-law know, because I can't afford to support you."
Yu Xing smiled, "What's the matter?
It's not like asking for money from outsiders."
When her grandparents were in Beichang Mansion, she often asked her grandmother for pocket money. .
"Don't open your mouth like that."
Ah Lie said, "Mother-in-law is nothing.
The eldest brother and the second brother probably won't say much, but after all, there are sisters-in-law and younger siblings.
You are already married, so it's not like our family doesn't have a place to live. .
From now on, I will become an official and buy a family property.
When we have it, we should be more respectful to my parents-in-law and don’t ask for it, you know.”
When Yu Xing heard this, he couldn't help but feel very sweet and said with a smile, "Everyone listens to my father-in-law."
"That's right."
Ah Lie took his wife and sat on the bed together and said, "However, you have to learn to live frugally in the future and not be as extravagant as before.
With Ah Xuan next year, we have to give My son has saved some."
Ah Lie has even chosen the name of his second son.
"Do I know this?"
Yu Xing said, "I don't even use ambergris now."
Ah Lie revealed her background, "We, Ah Can, can't smell that smell."
Yu Xing sighed, slapped A-chan's buttocks on the bed, wrapped in diapers, and said, "This kid is weird.
He will get into trouble if the scent doesn't suit his liking."
His son doesn't like smelling ambergris.
The smell of it forced the mother-in-law to change her habit.
"Why don't you say he's my good son?"
Ah Lie picked up his son, kissed him hard twice, and asked his wife, "Have you put away the hosta that Ah Jie gave you?"
"Put it away."
Not long after Ah Lie and the others went to Beijingguan, Jiang Ren and the three girls also went to Beijingguan.
Jiang Ren brought fashionable silks and satins to Mrs.
Jiang.
The dowry for Jiang Ying's wedding must be fashionable brocades.
It was too late to send people to Jiangnan for shopping, so Mrs.
Jiang purchased a batch from Jiang Ren's shop.
Furthermore, the third girl came to give Jiang Ying a few sets of dresses from his engagement.
Mrs.

Jiang was always very cheerful.
After her steward inspected the goods, she settled the money directly in the accounting room.
Seeing that the workmanship of her daughter's engagement dress was very good, Mrs.
Jiang smiled and said, "You learned this needlework from Master Xue.
Her needlework is really first-class.
Even in the imperial capital, there is no one better than her. many."
The third girl smiled and said, "Master's skill in needlework is beyond ordinary people's.
Compared with Master, we are still slightly inferior."
"You fellow apprentices can be considered her true heirs."
Mrs.
Jiang also made needlework for Aunt Li's shop when she was young.
Although her needlework was ordinary, her eyesight was excellent.
She said, "The needlework at your embroidery shop also has I learned something about Su embroidery.”
The third girl said, "Suzhou embroidery often comes with new stitches.
Nowadays, my senior sister and I don't do it much, but we still love it when we see good Suzhou embroidery pieces, and we always try to learn them."
Mrs.
Jiang nodded, paid the bill and gave her a silver reward, and sent the third girl off.
The social scene in Beijingguan has become busy because of Jiang Ying's marriage.
Needless to say, the third girl, Jiang Ren, who has business dealings with the general's mansion, and many people who have heard that General Ji is marrying a daughter, are always prepared.
This is the last thick congratulatory gift.
However, many people murmured that it was not that they were reluctant to part with the gifts.
Given Miss Jiang's fate, even if the gifts were prepared, they didn't know if they would have the chance to send them out.
He Zijin also prepared a quite generous gift.
Even the He family also prepared gifts, thinking that He Zijin would send it as well.
He Zijin had just finished reading the gift list when he saw Wanzi coming in and saying, "Madam, the third wife of Lu Laohanlin's family in the alley sent the steward's daughter-in-law to come and say hello."
It took a while for He Zijin of the "Lu Family" to remember that the house he bought was in a good location on the next street.
Since this alley was full of big houses for four or five people, there were only six households in one alley.
Among them, there were Lu family.
I heard that this old man from the Lu family was working as an imperial scholar in the imperial capital, and his family's house was originally rented out.
He Zijin asked, "Is it Lu Laohanlin who is back?"
Wanzi said, "I saw his family cleaning up the house a few days ago.
I heard that today is the day when Old Hanlin Lu is old enough to return to his hometown."
He Zijin nodded and said, "Let the wife in charge come in."
What came was a woman in a green skirt who was about thirty years old.
She had one or two silver hairpins on her head.
Her behavior was very polite.
She greeted He Zijin first and said, "I am from the Zhuanglin family.
The master of the family has recently become an official."
I'm going back to my hometown, and I'd like to invite all my neighbors to have a drink with each other the next day.
Madam, if you have time, just come over."
She said, handing over the invitation.
Wanzi stepped forward, took the post, and gave it to his wife.
He Zijin accepted it with a smile, opened it and took a look at it.
It was a post asking for a drink.
He smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister-in-law Zhuang.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I have been busy with housework recently, and I don't know about your old lady returning home.
Go.
Tell your wife that she will definitely come over during the introduction."
After saying a few words, he sent this daughter-in-law away.
He Zijin said to Wanzi, "Why didn't you tell me about the Lu family in advance?
We are neighbors after all, and I didn't know about Old Lu Hanlin's return to his hometown."
Wanzi said, "When his family was moving, I asked about it and said that it was Mr.
Lu Hanlin who was going back to his hometown.
I thought it would not be too late to talk to his wife when Mr.
Lu Hanlin came back.
I didn't expect that Mr.
Lu Hanlin would be like this.
He kept a low profile and didn’t see any big movement, so he came back.”
He Zijin said, "Well, didn't Zhuangzi send some early apricots today?
They taste very sweet to me.
You pack two baskets and send them to the old lady of the Lu family.
Just say they are sent by Zhuangzi."
Ask her to try it.”
After Wanzi took the order, He Zijin called Xiaohe and asked her to prepare a simple gift and go to Lu's house for a drink.
On this trip, Wanzi not only sent apricots, but also inquired about the affairs of Old Lu Hanlin's family.
When he came back, he reported, "Old Mrs.
Lu is about the same age as our old lady, and her clothes are very simple.
The Lu family has three grandsons, and the eldest and second eldest brother are both working as officials.
However, it is said that the eldest grandpa Lu is just a scholar, and the second grandpa is a scholar.
They are all donated officials.
Before he became an official, Mr.
Lu San was serving as a filial piety under the knee of Mrs.
Lu Hanlin.
Now Mrs.
Lu Hanlin and Mrs.
Lu came back with a family of three families.
Mrs.
Lu San was older than his wife.
I'm a little older, and I heard that I have two sons and three daughters.
I didn't see the two young masters, but I saw the three girls from his family, all of whom are gentle daughters."
He Zijin then knew how to prepare for going to Lu's house for a drink.
When A-Nian returned home in the evening and heard about the return of the Lu family, A-Nian also said, "Old Hanlin's flower-and-bird paintings are excellent.
We recognized him when he was studying in the Hanlin Academy."
He Zijin smiled, "That would be even better.
Not only are we old friends, but we are also neighbors."
Anian smiled and said, "That's right."
There are many relatives and friends in Lu Hanlin's hometown, not to mention that Lu Hanlin is also a well-known figure in the cultural circles of Beichang Prefecture.
The Lu family held a banquet that day, which was quite lively.
He Zijin also met Mrs.
Lu, a very gentle and kind old lady.

Even his granddaughters also responded to the poem "There is poetry and calligraphy in the belly, and the spirit of poetry comes from China", they are delicate and gentle. .
It can be said that the Lu family is the most bookish family that He Zijin has ever seen.
He Zijin both said to Anian, "This is how a scholarly family should be."
A Nian smiled and said, "I like our family better, the children are lively."
He Zijin was well aware of A Nian's problem.
In A Nian's opinion, no one's family was as good as his own.
He Zijin smiled, "Of course our family is better."
Yes, the Gu Lu family has outstanding temperament, but of course, our own family is even better.
The author has something to say: s: Good night, everyone can go to bed early today.
It is a good habit to wake up early.
