The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 295 Can't Marry a Wife

Anyway, Zhuangzi is not far away, there is a mule cart in the Zhuangzi, and it is convenient for old man Li to go home by car.

So the brothers and sisters of the Li family discussed it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Shi continued to mutter: "I know, the government wants to be grand, but the Chinese New Year is coming, so we don't want to make more pickled goods?"

There are quite a few brought from my hometown, and these things can be kept and eaten slowly, and I am not afraid to make more.

"The people Sanlang made friends with are all the sons of officials. If you come to our house as a guest, wouldn't it be nice to see cured fish and bacon hanging under the eaves?"

Fang Qingqing laughed out loud, describing this strange scene for her mother-in-law.

My mother-in-law talked about it at home before, and this time it finally fulfilled her wish. She guessed that not only pickled goods can be made into cured meat, but also pickled vegetables?

Anyway, it can be done with the help of Sister Li in the capital, and all of them will be stored in the Zhuangzi, so it is convenient to pick up every time you come over.

So, everyone discussed and agreed, and it was such a happy decision.

In addition, Fang Qingqing still has some plans to do experiments, but she suppressed it in her heart for the time being and did not bring it up.

After everything was arranged, the day passed like this, and the whole family returned to the capital again.

Not only that, but also brought back a lot of fresh food from Zhuangzi, as well as fish and shrimp.

It happened that there was a lot of meat in Beijing, but less fish. After returning home, Fang Qingqing pestered Mrs. Li to cook them a whole fish feast.

For example, crucian carp tofu soup and braised fish are definitely indispensable, and pickled fish and boiled fish are also good.

Of course, these are just common dishes, and the main thing is a pot of thick chicken soup cooked by old hens raised in Zhuangzi.

Everyone enjoyed such a delicious meal, and they are busy in their own ways on weekdays. Nowadays, the opportunity for all the Li family members to get together like this may not come once a month.

Uh, except for Reijiro.

After eating and drinking, Da Mao was slumped on the chair to rest for a while, when suddenly the tips of his ears moved.

He heard his mother talking, and mentioned his name very proactively and hastily:

"Mother, are you thinking about getting married to Da Mao?"

In fact, in terms of age, Da Mao should have married a long time ago, but Li Xiaomei definitely couldn't propose marriage to him before she got married.

Now that the lifelong affairs of the parents-in-law's children have been settled, Mrs. Li hastened to raise this issue.

After all, Da Mao is the eldest son and grandson of the old Li family.

Sister-in-law Li is in a hurry, she is so old that she can't study well, and now she doesn't have land to plant, and she doesn't know what she can do in the future.

If he is an accountant or even a shopkeeper in a restaurant, he should stand up well, and I don't know if he can help him marry a good wife.

Da Mao was very terrified, his face flushed red: "Mother, don't be so anxious, the third uncle just got married not long ago."

"Your third uncle has been busy studying before and has no time. If you don't get married again, you won't be able to marry a wife."

Sister-in-law Li ignored her stupid son, and directly discussed with her mother-in-law: "Mother, when Da Mao gets married, you will soon be a grandma, how wonderful."

Da Mao hadn't had time to speak, but Fang Qingqing's face was in a trance.

She has only been married for a short time, and she has always regarded herself as a little lady in her heart.

Da Mao got married and had a child, and the sister-in-law became a grandma.

And she and sister-in-law are of the same generation, so if Da Mao gets married two years later, there will be a milk doll calling her "uncle and grandma"?
Fang Qingqing shuddered.

Shi's mind is similar to that of Mrs. Li, and she is also a little anxious.

In the past, even in the county town, someone introduced it to Da Mao, saying that the basic conditions in either the village or the county are similar.

At that time, Sister-in-law Li also discussed with her mother-in-law that she should consider several families and choose the most suitable daughter-in-law for Da Mao.

As a result, when they arrived in the capital, no one mentioned this matter to their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law again, and it was difficult for them to meet a suitable young lady in Beijing.

For a while, it was hard to save.

Not to mention Mrs. Li, Shi Shi knew in her heart that because of Sanlang, the threshold of the entire old Li family was raised.

For example, when she went out, everyone would call An Ren, and her eldest grandson said that the family status of the daughter-in-law should not be too bad.

But in fact, the Li family is just a poor family, especially Li Dalang, Li Dasister, who has nothing outstanding, and is just a clerk and accountant.

Daughters-in-law with a good family background can't be suppressed, and those with a poor family background are dissatisfied. In the end, they really don't know what kind of little lady they should tell Da Mao.

Besides, not to mention the Shi family, even Mrs. Li also has this self-knowledge.

The fortune of the Li family rests on the Sanlang and his wife, and Da Mao's status is not worthy of those delicate daughters in the capital.

In fact, not to mention Sister-in-law Li, Second-sister Li is also a little worried, after all, there is not much difference in age between the eldest and the second.

In particular, as the eldest grandson, Da Mao made a good start, so that the brothers behind can keep up.

So she was actually very curious, if she wanted to talk about kissing, what kind of daughter-in-law could Da Mao be called now?
This problem is still unsolvable for the time being, let's focus on the most important thing in front of us first, the Chinese New Year is coming soon!
The food shop was busy until the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, and the whole family cleaned the inside and outside of Li Mansion for the next two days.

To prepare for the new year, I also cut the window grilles and pasted blessing characters on the gate.

There must be rewards and annual gifts for Li Xiuping during the Chinese New Year. He can go to the Ministry of Households to get these by himself, but the palace also gave other rewards to the two Anren.

There are not many things, but they are very solid, for example, two bolts of satin and two bolts of silk.

It seems that the servant who chose this reward should have a good relationship with Li Xiuping, because the color | color | style is very suitable for Shi Shi and Fang Qingqing's age.

Mrs. Li and the others have never seen such a beautiful material, and it looks so silky that they dare not even touch it.

After all, it is a good gift from the imperial court, they just look at it hot, but they will not be jealous.

The rewards that Mrs. Gaoming received must be different from Mr. Li's annual gifts. They are mainly jewelry and fabrics, and there is also 100 taels of silver.

This is indeed a subsidy given to Lao Li's family by Emperor Hongwen, and it is an act he privately approves of.

Holding these things, Shi Shi was very happy, and kept praising:
"Qingqing is really nice."

"mother--"

"The third child married a good wife."

"Mother," Li Xiuping fought again: "You got the imperial seal because of me, so the emperor bestowed these rewards, how could it all be Qingqing's credit?"

Li Xiuping didn't want to admit it at all, but now he was more and more partial to the old lady, jealous!

This is already the second New Year that Lao Li's family has spent in the capital, probably because they have already gone back to their hometown, this time the old couple are beaming with joy and not feeling homesick at all.

It's almost Chinese New Year, and old man Li has also arranged all the things in the village, and asked the second child to pick him up and go back to the mansion.
