The skilled widow is busy farming

Chapter 204

Xiuniang and Li Yu arrived in the capital, and Sister-in-law Feng and Brother Qun went to pick them up in person. Xu Jing didn't come, because her belly was already very big and it was difficult to move.

"Mom, Brother Chun is going to the Hanlin Academy. I don't have time to come over. I will come to see you after the court."

The brothers came over to help me.

Xiu Niang glanced at him, "Are you good or naughty?"

Brother Qun pursed his lips and chuckled, "How old am I? I didn't make any mistakes. It was Brother Chun who made the most mistakes."

I took the opportunity to step on my younger brother's feet. If Brother Chun was here, he would probably jump in anger.

"You two are evenly matched, don't tell anyone about the other."

"Mom, you can stay at my house. I will clean the yard for you."

"Well, you can stay there for a while. I mainly want to see Xiaojing and brought her some gifts."

"That's great."

"It's just a short stay, but you still have to come back to me."

Sister-in-law Feng spoke quickly.

Xiu Niang smiled, "Don't grab it. I can't stay for a few days. I will go back after attending Brother Chun's wedding. I asked for leave from the mountain chief, so I can't stay too long."

"Mom, if it's too hard, don't go."

"You can pull it off and go ahead. Auntie went to the academy all for us juniors and for the reputation of the clan. It is an honor to be a master in Lushan Academy. It is of great benefit to you men. The Li family can be recognized. Auntie has put in a lot of hard work. Teaching is Things that are highly respected in the hearts of scholars cannot be stopped at any time."

Sister-in-law Feng scolded Brother Qun without any courtesy.

The group of brothers were taught to lower their heads, "Am I just afraid that my mother will have a hard time?"

"None of the things I've advised are on point. Brother Rui is taking care of you over there. Don't worry about it. If you are really worried about your mother, stay closer to your hometown when you are away from home. Work hard and get results. Your mother will not be in vain. I have worked hard for you brothers all these years."

"I know, I'm working hard on the overseas release. My uncle said it won't be until next year. There won't be any good opportunities this year."

"It's almost there."

After taking the people home, Xu Jing had arranged the courtyard early and kept it neatly organized.

"Mom, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come in quickly and serve tea."

Xu Jing happily welcomed Xiu Niang into the house and said seriously that this was the first time in the several years since their marriage that her mother-in-law came to stay.

If she didn't serve her well, the entire Li family would not be able to let her go. Xu Jing had made preparations in advance and specially invited a cook from her hometown to come back, fearing that her mother-in-law would not be used to it.

"Thank you for your hard work. You have to work for me even though you have a big belly. Are you in good health? Do you ask a doctor to check your pulse regularly? Does your child make trouble for you?"

"I'm in good health. Don't worry. The little one has to fuss for a while every day. If he doesn't fuss, I'll get flustered."

"That's good. Don't eat too much. If you eat too much, it will be difficult to give birth. You will still suffer the consequences then. You should pay attention to this. If you can't walk, don't walk too much. Listen to the doctor."

"Well, the doctor told me that my mother came to see me a few days ago."

"You need to take good care of your health. After you give birth, you can go out with the group of brothers. If you are not in good health and you can't leave, then you can stay at home by yourself."

Xiu Niang laughed and teased her.

Xu Jing opened her round eyes and took Xiu Niang's arm, "Don't leave me, I want to go back. I made an agreement with the third master to take the baby back with me after the birth. It happened that the elders in the family were all here, so I wanted to go back." I have two children, and there aren’t many of them including me, so we can join in the fun at home.”

"You should be good and not afraid that I might mislead you."

"Don't be afraid. You took care of all the brats in the school. Why are you so scared?" Xu Jing shook her head and smiled happily.

"Little slicker."

Xiuniang agreed to live with Qun Ge this time just to take care of her daughter-in-law, stay with her for a few days and take care of her.

Then we have to prepare a banquet for Brother Chun. He will get married in two months.

"Xiaoyu, you two will host this wedding banquet. Let me see what you two are capable of."

"Yes."

Xiu Niang only needs to explain this sentence, and don’t care about the rest. You should ask yourself what to do and learn to do it. What matters is whether you have the ability to handle emergencies. If you are married, someone will not tell you what to do every day. , there will always be a time when you need to stand up alone to support the scene.

Xu Jing also admired her mother-in-law's skills. All the girls who came here were beautiful, capable, chaste and calm.

Even though nothing was explained clearly and he seemed completely confused, he just let people do it without saying anything.

But Li Yu and another tribe girl Li Xi were clear-minded and organized. They first asked Sister-in-law Feng and Xu Jing, and then asked Mammy what the rules were in the capital. When Brother Chun came back, he asked what the Wang family's customs were and what they had prepared at home. , recorded one by one.

In just three days, she started to be busy. She was methodical and busy, which made a group of old ladies admire her. Even though she was a half-grown girl, the arrangements were exactly as the mistress said, not inferior at all. People are convinced.

After Xu Jing secretly observed, like a little starling, she came over to bite Xiu Niang's ears.

"Mom, I see that Li Yu and Li Xi are very powerful. They have a bit of the talent of my younger sister back then. They are great."

"They have been specially beaten, but they have to be presentable, right? These two have stronger tempers, and their personalities are different from Xiaoli's. I also have higher requirements for these two."

"What kind of marriage do you want to choose?"

Xu Jing snuggled close to Xiu Niang.

Xiu Niang found two cushions for her to put on her lower back, and gave her a comfortable cushion and posture so that she could sit and talk to herself.

"I want to choose a big family, expand more contacts, and strive for more opportunities for the Li family. For girls, the rules of sons and daughters of big families are stricter, and sons and daughters raised in big families are much more clear-headed than those of small families. No matter how different it is, Wherever you go, it’s a win-win.”

Xu Jing nodded repeatedly. What her mother-in-law said was so correct.

Daughters from aristocratic families should be educated according to rules and should not go too far, otherwise it will damage the reputation of the entire family, which is a taboo.

Therefore, it is a good thing for the girl's family to choose a son from a big family. It actually provides a certain degree of protection for the girl. After all, the girl is to be a wife, not a concubine.

But many sons and daughters from poor families may not have so many rules, and they are even more unscrupulous.

The Li family was able to choose a good daughter-in-law at first because of Zhou Yi's guarantee. Later, they found out that the tutor's family style was indeed upright and upright, and Qingliu recognized it, and then gradually opened up new opportunities.

"I see that Yu'er and Li Xi are both qualified in terms of quality and character, but their family backgrounds are a little inferior. Yu'er is good, but Li Xi may not be able to be a clan wife."

"It's okay to have a clan wife, as long as she comes from a clear family. It still depends on family tradition and character."

"Correct."

"Then let me ask you a question?"

"Okay, let's ask. Don't worry too much about it. You are mainly taking care of your health now, so don't worry about getting hurt."

"I'm not tired. That's all I have to do at home. Ever since I got pregnant, my third master has been taking care of the house for me. I don't have to worry about it. My sister-in-law often comes over to check on me. I'm afraid that some slave will slack off and cheat me, so she protects me."

Xu Jing laughed happily.

Xiu Niang touched her belly and smiled.
