Chapter 229, Sister Hui is engaged
When this episode happened in the morning, the old man did not walk out of the main room, but he seemed to know the matter. After breakfast, he sent Yuanyun to his grandson's study: "You are going to take up your post. Please ask the gentlemen in the grandson's place. I have talked with them and they are all practical people."
Zheng Liugen was very happy. He knew that when his father and the clan leader came in, he would not encounter the third uncle's face and words.
When the shopkeeper Zheng and the clan leader came over, as Zheng Liugen said, they walked through the corner gate. The people at the corner gate placed them in the small living room inside the corner gate, and came in to report that when the old master brought Yuan Lian and Zheng Liugen over, the clan leader knelt down: "Grandmaster, I pay you a favor."
It also shocked the shopkeeper Zheng. The old man was a kind person. When the shopkeeper Zheng saw him at the market, he just greeted him, but today the shopkeeper Zheng also knelt down quickly.
These two people are not weak in their knees and kneel on their relatives when they are idle. This is due to the fact that the Duke of the Guardian Mansion is the highest in the eyes of ordinary people.
Zheng Liugen saw it and felt relieved about the attitude of the third uncle Yuanyun. He cannot blame him for being proud of his official position. There are many admiration for the high school students in this world.
Who made me a businessman’s child? You will definitely win the next subject, and you will definitely win the next subject.
It was too early for the patriarch to buy a gift that was satisfactory, so he simply didn't buy it. Before going out, he asked the inn for two pieces of red paper, each of which had 600 taels of silver notes, and delivered it with both hands: "One wishes the old man a happy and long life, and the other is a gift from the elders to the second girl."
The old man was ridiculous and terrified. Today was not my birthday, and you were not my descendants. He waved his hand and said he didn't want it. In the end, the shopkeeper Zheng made a call and said that all this was added to the second girl's shop and asked Zheng Liugen to take it away.
Zheng Liugen didn't need to think back to Yuan Yun's face, reminding himself that since he came to Beijing, he saw the grandeur of the Duke of the People's Mansion, he was careful in his actions. After counting the silver notes, he asked his father: "One thousand two hundred taels is a lot of expenses. Whether it is grandfather or sister Hui, they are all by their side. If you have to listen to the elder sister here, how can you accept this?"
Zheng Liugen knew that his father could understand what he meant, and he was afraid that the patriarch would take out a lot of money to ask for something.
The old man also heard it and nodded and smiled at Yuan Lian: "Liugen is now reading the book more and more."
Manager Zheng really understood what he said. While he was surprised that the clan leader took out nearly one-tenth of his property, he was indeed proud and smiled: "I didn't expect to meet the second girl yesterday. The clan leader went back to the inn and said that he did not give a gift. If you and Sister Hui made a marriage, he was an elder, and he should pay."
It was really a meeting gift. Zheng Liugen dared to accept it no matter how many of them were. He thanked him and put the two wallets into his sleeve.
The father-son answered the clan leader's cleverness. He asked his children diligently about his marriage: "When will it be decided? The second girl in our clan, both young and old, who know your family, will praise your name and praise you. Although we are far from the same province, we have also heard of the good name of your in-laws."
The old man thought to himself, aren’t you calling my in-laws?
This marriage has been told between him and Yuan Lian and his son. Yuan Lian also wrote a letter to tell the Zhen family that the patriarch of the Zheng family was here. The elder and the elder said, "It is better to have a day than choose a day. The second brother goes to see the calendar, just today."
Yuan Lian also smiled and said, "We are neighbors in a market town, and we are all in the guest side and don't have to pay attention. Let Sister Hui come out and kowtow to the elders of both sides with Liugen. The marriage will be settled."
When he said this, he deeply thought that his simplicity was beautiful.
Sister Xiu married Gao, and Sister Hui only ordered her to give her to the scholar. Yuan Lian believed that this should be the family tradition of the Yuan family. If she did not rely on her skills, she would only read articles and study hard, she should be the family tradition.
Inviting my father to accompany the guest, Yuan Lian really went to search for the calendar book. In fact, even if the day was settled, the old man first asked to get engaged today and then let his son read the calendar book. Yuan Lian understood that his father had read books for decades and had read many calendar books. From July to this year, he probably knew that he was very happy with the calendar book, so he was busy reading it. In fact, he knew that it would be better if he didn't read it.
"Okay, okay," the patriarch said flattering words happily. Zheng Liugen went into the inner house to search for Sister Hui and kowtowed, and told Yuanxiu the good news.
When he walked into Yuanxiu's room, Zheng Liugen was stunned, but Yuan Yun was here. The two of them stared at each other. Zheng Liugen said to Yuanxiu with big eyes: "Sister Xiu, grandfather asked me to take Sister Hui out to kowtow to the elders. She and I will be engaged today."
Yuan Yun was shocked and stunned, but Yuan Xiu was happy: "I'll get engaged today. It's good, but you have to wait a while and I'll dress up Sister Hui." He asked the girls to get clothes: "It's a coincidence that the family treats her to the house tomorrow, and my mother gave her clothes from that year, saying that she would put on the hospitality of Sister Hui."
Looking at Zheng Liugen again, Yuan Xiu smiled and said, "Grandfather often said that you don't have to be polite in your heart, but it's true that I'll get married today. But, you have to dress up, and wait a moment, I'll find you a new dress."
While shouting Shuangcao, "Go out the second door and tell the old man that I will dress them up before sending them out." While thanking Yinya, he said, "Sister went to the study to see the prince and asked if his good hairpin could give him one of the engagements today."
Let Huang Ying go to see Song Cheng: "Let him buy a piece in the ready-to-wear shop."
Tomorrow Yuanxiu invites relatives, but today she won’t go to the princess’s side. Sister Hui continues to skip school without going to school because of her name. Even if Yuanxiu starts to interfere in housework in this treat, there are more than a dozen mothers in charge in this room who listen to the call.
Upon hearing this, four or five mothers were busy saying, "Why buy it? There are new ready-made clothes in the warehouse, so I'll find a few sets."
Yuan Xiu laughed: "Yes, it's obvious that I still didn't take any attention. I forgot the warehouse at home," she smiled and said: "Sorry, I haven't recognized which mother is right about which place. I don't know which mother I want to ask to walk into the warehouse."
The two mothers left the list, and Yuanxiu sent them out.
Yinya came back: "The prince said that he might want new clothes. Some of his old clothes have not been worn before. He asked his wife to open the box and just take them out. Some clothes can be taken out and given to others, and it would be boring to put them in vain."
Yuan Xiu laughed again, but no, there were ready-made ones in her room. Although the box had not been opened and looked at, just like the prince's hairpin, Yuan Xiu had just taken over the housekeeper, and she didn't know how many things there were in her room, and what could be given to the prince's beloved and could not be given to her. But looking at the style of this family, Yuan Xiu also believed that she could find satisfactory clothes.
While sending someone to report the good news to his mother-in-law, he said that Yuan Hui and Zheng Liugen would be asked to kowtow later, while taking her dozen girls and more than a dozen managers to open the box.
There were just ones that were easy to find. After holding more than a dozen sets of appropriate sizes and sizes in the girl's arms, Yuan Xiu looked at the remaining wardrobe and said, "The dishes for treats have not been settled yet. Close them first, and I will sort them out the next day."
Zheng Liugen looked at these dozen sets of clothes, Shi Qing Baolan, Hidden Blue, Dark Blue, and all of them were steady and new.
Yuan Hui had already been recombed by Qingying's hair, and Zheng Liugen began to change clothes. He tried to color one by one, and he was slower. The girl who reported the good news to the princess was faster and she came back with a colorful little quilt: "Your Highness said that the old man was still the straightforward in the past, and it happened that life was good today. I said Sister Hui should wear this outfit."
Yuan Xiu received it. She knew that her mother-in-law would not make any mistakes, but also carefully checked it. Without the taboo that Sister Hui could not wear it, she changed it to Sister Hui with her own hands. Sister Hui could not be away from her engagement, so she rushed over with her two children.
She moved now and followed a bunch of people who were serving. Before they could enter the room, she scared the patriarch to death. She grabbed Manager Zheng's arm and shivered: "Do I want to avoid it? Where can I avoid it?"
Manager Zheng endured the pain, and the dizziness caused by surprise was no longer there. He said, "No, you must be considered a relative here after kissing me, otherwise you should lower your head and don't look around."
He said that he stood up, lowered his head and set an example first.
The patriarch learned to stand up, his eyelids sank to the ground, but his breathing could not be closed. When he heard that the prince's wife came in, he knelt down to salute and smelled the fragrance of powder that penetrated his heart. Even if he was mentally prepared in advance, he was intoxicated.
Fortunately, I was really afraid and never dared to look up. After sitting down, Zheng Liugen and Yuanhui both kowtowed to the elders, and the patriarch was also drunk in the fragrance. I wish I could keep my head down for the rest of my life, but I never looked up. He continued to lower his head and help the young couple up with his head down.
Fortunately, he is an adult and sits high, so this posture makes his vision just right on the young couple.
The engagement may not have been informed by the parties involved at that time. It was Yuan Lian who proposed to both kowtow. Since there was the etiquette of kowtowing, Yuan Xiu took Yuan Hui and Zheng Liugen out and bowed to Yun Zhan’s study room to bow to his mother-in-law. He went around in such a big circle and finally returned to the room. Only then did he find that Yuan Yun was still sitting here, but he didn’t go out to receive the gift.
Yuan Xiu called Zheng Liugen, who had returned to his grandfather, and Sister Hui was by her side without shouting, so that the young couple who had been engaged to marry him would like to Yuan. This time, Yuan Xiu also saw the awkwardness of the third uncle, especially after Zheng Liugen went out again, Yuan Yun's dissatisfaction burst out: "This kid was slick and coaxed his father and the second brother. Even if he got engaged, he should wait until he passed the imperial examination, and Sister Xiu, you should dissuade him."
Yuan Yun tried not long ago to stop Yuan Xiu from dressing up Yuan Hui and Zheng Liugen, but everyone was happy and his words were overwhelmed. He wanted to say a few more words. Yuan Xiu opened the box and made clothes, and then chose jewelry for Huijie himself. Yuan Yun could not walk around in his niece's room and sat in the outside room with his breath.
Yuan Yun won’t say it anymore. He also knew that Xiang Yuanxiu’s words were useless. The key was that his father decided, so he could only execute it.
The complaints at this time are just a hindsight.
Yuan Xiu was careful, looked at Yuan Yun's expression, and slowly said, "Grandfather should have seen Liu Gen study and become more ambitious. This is considered a good match. In fact, if you want to be a good match, the prince and I will not be a good match."
Yuan Yun was still angry: "Can that be the same? Is the prince's appearance in your character? Sister Xiu is stupid now. Your marriage is clearly a dependent on the past achievements of his grandfather. Sister Xiu has gained great benefits, so Sister Hui should also gain some benefits."
Yuan Xiu never expected the pride of the third uncle, and subconsciously thought of He Ning, she, Yanyan, Luzhu, He Ning and Qi Yue and others, grew up childhood sweethearts. Brother Ning must not be a romantic ghost. He beat He Ning that night. She came back to tell Yun Zhan that Yun Zhan also helped He Ning excuse him, saying that there was a son-in-law under the list and that there was a seduction in the previous dynasty. Now it is not a romantic ghost. He is young and Taoist.
There are too many things today. Tomorrow, the main ones are invited to the princes' mansions. The older ones are asked to joke in front of the mother-in-law, and the younger ones are asked to receive Yuan Xiu himself. Although Sister Hui is here, Yuan Xiu is the master. In addition, the little prince and princess who are under the emperor's knees are also here. Yuan Xiu dare not be careless and cannot take too many hours to analyze the pride of the third uncle and dispel the pride of the third uncle.
After saying a few more words to Yuan Yun, Yuan Xiu turned around and discussed with the in charge of the businessmen's arrangements for treating the guests tomorrow. Yuan Hui changed out of her new clothes and started to help out her ideas. She wanted to swing and throw a pot, and she also had to play the ball when fighting a cunt.
The room became noisy, and Yuan Yun came out happily, stood next to a tree of osmanthus, looking into the sky through the canopy, and the corner of his eyes was the tall building embroidery pavilion in the next princess's mansion.
He thought to himself, at this moment, I wonder how many people in the world are looking forward to standing in such a place. Even if they are a person above others, they feel closer to the sky.
Of course I am the father's son, so I gave it to the small Zheng family for no reason. Do the whole family, including the married sister Xiu, think she did something good?
