Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 232, Husband and wife chatting

In Yun Zhan's words, there is not much meaning of whitewashing Yuan Yun. The relationship between people in the Lilu field really needs some clever words, so as to elevate one's own status, imply the dependence of oneself around, and make the people around dare not snub yourself.

But what Yuan Yun said was relatively vulgar, and it seemed to show off his status as an uncle. If he said it in another place in Beijing, he might be awed, but there are no stupid people in Yunzhan's study, and everyone has made a name for himself by doing hard work, so there is no need To please any relatives, Yuan Yun's talk made the gentlemen and the officials who waited in the study look down on him. It is indeed the tact that Yuan Yun learned in the relative's yamen, and such talk would not come out in the higher-level yamen.

It can only be called a little tactful. If it is really tactful, it will be difficult for people who get along with it to see it, and it will be beneficial to see it.

This kind of tact is not available in all places. The old master Yuan ordered Yuan Yun to learn from his son-in-law's study. Yuan Yun went to brag and try to make friends, thinking of paving the way for him in the officialdom in the future. The gentlemen quietly ignored this man. Uncle, it is impossible for Yun Zhan not to know what was said in the study. Yuan Yun was left out in the cold, and when he spoke in front of Yuan Xiu, his words would reach Yun Zhan's ears the next moment.

During the dinner conversation, Yun Zhan told his wife everything, except that the third uncle was a relative of his wife's natal family, and the other thing was to make Yuan Xiu mentally prepared.

"Grandfather asked me to suppress my third uncle's official position. He wanted my third uncle to go to a more difficult place. I said that if I don't worry about my third uncle, let him stay in Beijing, right in front of my eyes, and keep him safe as an official so that no accidents will happen. Grandpa said that he was afraid that I would worry about it, and that I was doing big things, so there was no reason for the relatives of the Yue family to be more honored."

This is the grandfather speaking, and the talk is that the third uncle is a bit outrageous recently, Yuanxiu became serious, and looked at Yun Zhan distressedly: "You, you, regardless of the official department, I think the same as my grandfather, keep the third uncle in Beijing Of course it's good, don't worry too much about him, third uncle is not a child, can't he take care of himself. "

As he said that, he smiled sweetly: "My father left home early, and my second uncle is a prudent man. My grandfather actually loves my third uncle the most and puts the most effort into him. How about this? I will ask my grandfather to accompany my third uncle to the post tomorrow. Wouldn't everyone feel relieved to take care of Third Uncle for a few years?"

Yun Zhan also smiled: "Yeah, I don't care about the official department, but when it comes to talking, you also ask me what official position I will give to Third Uncle, and grandfather also asks what official position I will give to Third Uncle, and Third Uncle also asks for an official position from me."

Yuan Xiu gritted her silver teeth lightly, worried in frustration: "Third Uncle still asks you for an official position?"

"Guess where he's going? Didn't he always work in the yamen of your third aunt's relative? He asked for an official position from mine. He was next to that relative. The yamen of the two counties were built close to the border, less than [-] miles apart. inside."

Yuan Xiu was stunned: "There is still such a place, is it because the two counties are very small?"

"Actually, it's not small. Since the county seat is close, the yamen is naturally close."

Yuan Xiu couldn't take it anymore, and murmured: "I shouldn't arrange for Third Uncle, but if there is something between him and his relatives, it will be negotiated and handled very quickly, and there can be several back and forth in a day on the twenty-mile road."

Yun Zhan said with a smile: "If you check them, as long as you don't arrest anyone and you are still working in the yamen, under such a situation, collusion of confessions is also fast, and there can be several back and forth in a day."

Holding vegetables for Yuan Xiu, he said softly, "Eat."

Yuanxiu felt that most of the umami was lost in her mouth. This was the first time she felt that the food was not tasty after entering her in-law's house. Just as she thought this way, she saw that the food was made by Luo's mother. In every meal of her meal, there was There are one or two dishes made by Luo's mother, and some raw materials are also brought by Luo's mother, even if Yuan Xiu has hardly been acclimatized, there are all of them.

The dishes in the new collection are easy to distinguish from the dishes in Jingli, and this dish has been loved by sister Xiu since she was a child and has not changed since she grew up, but she can't eat it anymore.

After picking up a meal indiscriminately, Yuan Xiu focused on Yun Zhan: "You won't agree to him, will you? You will follow what grandfather said, and assign him a bitter place."

"will not."

Yun Zhan smiled even more: "Although I don't care about the officials, I can talk. I sent Shi Luo a message in the afternoon, and I have already agreed to him." He winked at Yuan Xiu and smiled: "So grandfather doesn't have to follow, you Do you understand what I mean?"

Yuan Xiu didn't know what to say. Since the son could see through, he was willing to agree to the third uncle. If he had the means to supervise the third uncle, the son would definitely not harm the third uncle. Regarding the marriage, looking at the "grandfather's achievements in the past" is the reason for the mother-in-law to propose marriage, but the eldest son also respects the grandfather very much, so the one he wants to win is probably the relative of the third aunt.

For a girl who is studying, she doesn't need to think too much about what it means to knock a mountain and shake a tiger. She also knows that this is a well-known trick. It was the protected tiger, Yuan Xiunuan felt uneasy again.

"The third aunt's family is also a scholar's family, and it is not easy for one of the children in the clan, just like Brother Yue. I watched Uncle Qi no longer refute Brother Yue's words. The relative of the third aunt's natal high school is like this. He Let my third uncle accompany me to the post, and promise to seek an official position for my third uncle, and my aunt's father will come to see my grandfather in person, and let my grandfather agree to accompany my third uncle."

Yun Zhan laughed: "How bold, he dared to promise someone else an official position before he took office." Then he said: "Grandpa is not such a person."

"Grandfather is not such a person. Grandfather promised third uncle to go out. He spoke in front of the whole family. I was also next to him. Grandfather said that all careers and economics are knowledgeable. He has three sons. Second uncle is willing to stay at home to study and serve him at the same time. My second aunt is willing to stay with me as a housekeeper, and my third uncle can appreciate the vast world, but there is one thing, the heart of a scholar is the most important thing, and you can’t learn bad habits all over your body. The third uncle knelt down to accept my grandfather’s words, and the grandfather promised him to go out.”

Yuan Xiu was a little disappointed: "I didn't expect third uncle to forget grandfather's words so quickly, and he hasn't been out for a few years." She got a little angry, and ruthlessly pulled the rice, seeing Yun Zhan was shocked, and hurriedly carried the vegetables over.

After taking a few mouthfuls, Yuan Xiu stopped and asked quietly: "Why, you didn't ask my third aunt's relative's name. Although I married you not long ago, I know you are a fair and honest person."

Yun Zhan couldn't help laughing: "It's said that I don't care about the officials. I am the general of the town. This official position is not the commander-in-chief. Besides, bragging is not illegal. Your third aunt's relatives bragging. I can't do anything to him, official The department is under the control of Uncle Ping Wang, but after your third uncle has gone, maybe I can talk to Uncle Ping Wang and ask him to take a prisoner and owe me a favor."

Handed the freshly filled soup to Yuanxiu's hands.

Yuan Xiu took the soup in his hand and glared at him: "Are you really planning to let the third uncle go? The third uncle is your relative, and the third aunt's relative is also his relative. The yamen of the two of them should not be avoided to avoid suspicion." ?"

Yun Zhan put a spoonful of soup into a small bowl in front of him, picked it up, and imitated Yuan Xiu's tone of toasting not long ago: "I respect you, you are the smartest person I have ever met."

Yuanxiu held his breath and watched him drink the soup slowly, put down the bowl and said calmly: "Third Uncle must go, he said a lot of good things in front of me, think about it, who is the meaning of being an official next door?"

Yuan Xiu opened her mouth. She has never been a talkative girl, and it depends on the occasion when she talks. The person opposite must have a higher opinion than her, and she shut her mouth again.

This couple is also considered a standard blind marriage. The side they met before they got married, one was scolding Luan Jing angrily, while the other watched from the side first. Their relationship was established after the two parties communicated. Feelings germinated in the letters and thrived after marriage.

There are quite a few conditions that make their emotional crops flourish. For example, Yuanxiu is deeply grateful for everything Yun Zhan has done for the new talents.

What Yun Zhan likes Yuan Xiu more and more is that she never cares about superfluous things. After Yuan Lian failed the examination, Yuan Xiu never spoke about his future. It was Wang Xueshi who made the plan, and a few acquaintances who were found by the old master Yuan after he went to Beijing.

The scholars in the new collection will worship their ancestors during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Qi Yue and others have all done so, and Yun Zhan can easily appoint an official position for someone. For those who are not interested in wealth and honor, get rid of those who have ulterior motives, and the rest can It's called being virtuous.

Yun Zhan likes Yuan Xiu very much, and it is not an exaggeration to compare it to an old house on fire, but Yuan Xiu has never tried to influence his uncles and Qi Yue and others in their official positions.

At this time, she held her breath and waited for Yun Zhan to express her opinion. She clearly recognized her own shortcomings and Yun Zhan's strengths. Not only the girls are this frivolous, but also the men, and Yun Zhan couldn't help being secretly happy again.

The autumn night is getting longer and there is nothing to do tonight, the couple can have a good chat. Yun Zhan knew that Yuan Xiu might be anxious, but he still looked at the rice bowl and soup bowl in front of her first, and shouted outside:

"Let the kitchen add the favorite dishes of the two wives, and boil a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine,"

Then smiled at Yuan Xiu: "I will talk to you slowly."

After getting married, small banquets between husband and wife can appear at any time. Yuan Xiu also loves to play when she is young, so there is no reason not to agree, but she has a heavy heart, looks at the menus and other things piled up on the desk, and says embarrassingly: "I haven't paid attention to it yet." After finishing preparations for tomorrow, what should we do?"

Yun Zhan said with a smile: "It's okay, I will drink with you, talk to you, and help you tidy up." All relatives belong to Yun Zhan, and Yun Zhan can be careless: "This is your first time hosting. Really can't prepare, don't they take it easy?"

Yuan Xiu heard what he said made sense, so she hurriedly went to the bed, and brought the menu with both hands: "Tell me this first, and then tell me about the various household items. These can be difficult for me. I can force my relatives to memorize their love. But these dishes they like, what kind of dishes are these, I have never seen them at all, and why they put the plum vases with twigs in Qiuyue Zhai, and why Yujingxuan can't put the plum vases with twigs, I have never seen it The real thing is absolutely impossible to remember. This time it’s the first time I treat guests, I ask my mothers for everything, and the second time I invite them, I will still ask for advice, lest people will laugh at me and say that I am young but have no memory.”
