Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 75

The next day, sisters Ma, Mao and Yao Cunjia accompanied Mrs. Xie for a walk in the mansion, looked at the scenery, and chatted some homely gossip.

Madam Xie's working mothers had no time to spare, they were busy going to the houses of relatives and friends who were close to each other in the capital to ask An to say hello.

In fact, the Xie family has a lot of contacts with the capital, and they are not unfamiliar with relatives and friends in the capital, but Madam Xie came to Beijing ten years ago. Sent someone to say hello.

Only the Yun family, the residence of the old prince Liqin, and the family of Wu Yinghou Lin Chuanming passed invitations and arranged a time to visit in person.

Needless to say, the Yun family, Yun Xiang, Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Xie's parents-in-law are best friends, Mrs. Xie's future daughter-in-law is Mrs. Yun's direct granddaughter, and this marriage was arranged by her old man, Mrs. Xie Now that you are here, you should naturally visit.

As for Prince Li, he is the younger brother of the former emperor and the younger uncle of the present empress dowager, the most respected person in the royal family.To say that he is the most virtuous and respected in the royal family is not because he is the oldest, but that among the old people and uncles in the royal family, he is the only one who is respected by the current queen mother and can speak a few words in front of the queen mother. He didn't even have the chance to show his face in front of the Queen Mother.It is said that this is because Prince Li once rescued the Empress Dowager when she was humble and out of power in the palace, and the Empress Dowager reciprocated, and treated him well.

When the late emperor was here, the ceremony was very grand, and he accompanied the late emperor to the south of the Yangtze River three times, and he was very familiar with the Xie family who picked him up.When Shengjia stayed in Jinling, Mrs. Xie was still a young daughter-in-law. She used to serve beside Princess Li, and Princess Li treated her well.After the death of the first emperor, Prince Li and his wife lived peacefully and peacefully, they didn't see many guests much, and they never traveled far. They haven't seen each other for many years, so Madam Xie should naturally visit.

As for Lin Chuanming, Marquis of Wu Ying, his mother and Mrs. Xie's mother are sisters born of compatriots, and they are Mrs. Xie's cousin. Lin Chuanming's wife is also the cousin of Mrs. Xie's husband. I want to come and talk.

On the same day, the Yun family, the old prince Liqin's mansion, and the Lin family all replied.Mrs. Yun even sent Nanny Lan to greet Mrs. Xie, and personally invited Mrs. Xie to be a guest. Mrs. Xie accepted with a polite smile, and the two parties settled on a date.

The housekeeper Mammy also came to the old prince Liqin's house to talk, rewarded the gift from the princess Liqin, and passed on the words of the princess: I don't feel well recently, so I don't need to come to pay my respects, and I'm busy with business!There are quite a few beautiful places in Beijing, let Mrs. Yao accompany you to look around, it is not in vain to come to Beijing!
Mrs. Xie hurriedly stood up and agreed, and rewarded the nanny who came to pass the message, and asked the nanny to convey her concern to the princess, and the nanny agreed to go.

The Xie family inherited the job of weaving in Jiangning, and they have great influence in the south of the Yangtze River. The Prince of Li is a member of the royal family. The queen mother is in power, so it is naturally inconvenient to have too much contact with the Xie family. In front of the empress dowager!The Lu family is jealous of the lucrative Jiangning weaving job, which is not a day or two.As the mistress of the house, Mrs. Xie naturally understands this truth. Thinking of the time she spent with Prince Li and Princess Li, even though it was short, the impression was very deep and wonderful.

Needless to say, the Lin family knew each other very well. They just said that whenever she was done with work, she could just come to the door and wait for you at any time!He also said to bring your future daughter-in-law with you, and let us meet in advance, since we are all from our own family and don't pay too much attention!Although they all live in Beijing, they have never seen it before!
Mrs. Xie responded with a smile, and ordered people to go back so that they could answer.

On the second day, in the main hall of Yao Mansion's main courtyard, Master Yao, Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Xie sat together and formally discussed the marriage between the two families.

Mother Fang talked about the situation and arrangements of Xie's family, and also briefly introduced the customs of Jiangning - this is a kind reminder, in case the bride does not know how to make a fool of herself in the future.

Master Yao and Mrs. Ma were very satisfied with the arrangement of Xie's family, they smiled and said a few polite words, their words were very decent, they expressed their attitude just right, neither humble nor overbearing but also satisfied and polite.Master Yao was the one who spoke, and Madam Ma just laughed and agreed most of the time. After half a day, the muscles on his face became stiff from laughing.

Master Yao then talked about his family's preparations, and then the two sides talked about the bride price and dowry.Both of them are decent families, and the other is rich and wealthy for generations; the other is the No. [-] Royal Merchant with a rich family background, and there is no conflict at all in terms of money. !
After some conversation, both parties were very satisfied.

Then when it comes to their own children, it is inevitable to praise each other and be self-effacing.

In short, after one day, the major events are basically settled. We will wait for the auspicious time after the year to confirm the specific date, and then enter the countdown stage.

Mrs. Xie originally thought that Mr. Yao was a businessman who was full of money and was only interested in profit, but she didn't want to be so elegant and generous, well-behaved, and outstanding in speech, but she was secretly surprised and surprised, and her affection for the Yao family and Yao Cunjia deepened.

Madam Xie didn't know that her in-law's master was indeed a profit-seeking businessman, but he was smarter than ordinary businessmen and had a layer of elegance wrapped around him.

"Since your wife is here, you may wish to stay for a few more days. Although the scenery in the north is not as beautiful as that of the south of the Yangtze River, it has a different flavor compared to the south of the Yangtze River. The weather is just right these few days, so my wife and a few maids can accompany my wife everywhere. Let's take a stroll and relax, so that we can do our best as landlords! Hehe!" Master Yao finally said with a smile.

Mrs. Xie smiled and said: "That's a good thing! I came to the capital ten years ago, and I was in a hurry. I haven't been anywhere. I'm not polite to bother you. This time I just happened to go shopping! I, too Seeing the big world in this capital, even the maids and women are also touched!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Master Yao laughed again: "What is your wife talking about? They will soon be a family, so there is no need to bother! If you want to talk about the big world, Jiangnan is the real big world. , everything is exquisite!" As he spoke, he casually mentioned a few things about Jinling, Hangzhou and other places.

Mrs. Xie was even more in a good mood when she heard him praise her hometown, and said a few words with a smile. The conversation between the two sides ended in a very cordial and friendly atmosphere.

Afterwards, Master Yao gave Mrs. Ma a few more detailed instructions, saying that he should greet Mrs. Xie well, not to lose face, and so on.Mrs. Ma saw that Mrs. Xie's impression of Yao's family was getting better and better, and that she was more familiar with Yao Cunjia, and she felt very uncomfortable. Hearing Master Yao's tireless instructions, she couldn't control her face for a while, and she didn't answer. Two points stiff.

Master Yao stared at her a few times, didn't say anything, just said "This matter is a big deal for my Yao family, anyway, you have to take care of it!" and left.

Afterwards, the more Master Yao thought about it, the more he felt uneasy, and he couldn't help complaining to Si Yiniang when he was resting in the Liuhua Mountain House.Before he knew it, he seemed to have this habit, he would always say a few words in front of Si Yiniang when he had something to do, and he would feel much better after listening to Si Yiniang's gentle words of comfort.

The fourth aunt did not disappoint him after hearing this, she said that maybe Madam is too tired these days, it is inevitable that she can't do what she wants, and she also said that Madam may not have experience in receiving Madam Xie, a family lady like Mrs Xie, and the master spoke so seriously, Madam couldn't help it Nervous, under too much pressure, I'm afraid that there is something wrong, the master should be considerate.

Master Yao was really in a better mood after hearing this, but he frowned again, saying what can I do?In the future, the two families will be in-laws, and the relationship will continue for a long time. How can this be done!
Si Yiniang pinched Master Yao's shoulders, thought for a while, and said with a leisurely smile: "The concubine has an idea, isn't the Yun family ready-made, why don't you let the eldest lady of the Yun family help take care of it, isn't the madam Easy? And you will have experience next time! Mrs. Yun is the eldest lady's biological aunt, this matter only needs our eldest lady to show her words in front of Mrs. Yun!"

Master Yao's eyes lit up, he nodded happily and said, "That's a good idea! It's Xia'er's thoughtful thinking!"

Afterwards, Master Yao really told Mrs. Ma that, and told her to be cheerful and cheerful when paying the bill and getting the money, and just listen to Mrs. Yun for other matters, and even said, let her watch carefully, Study hard with Mrs. Yun, and you will have more time to use it in the future!

This is equivalent to slapping Ma Shi on the face, accusing her of not understanding the rules and etiquette of entertaining guests in a noble family. Even Master Yao resented him twice.

Mrs. Ma has wronged Mr. Yao, and Mr. Yao did not mean to humiliate or laugh at her, because Mr. Yao was an ordinary businessman at the beginning, and he also observed and studied the social etiquette and conversation skills of many high-class people from the sidelines. Yes, he thinks this is the most straightforward and effective method. How can he know what Ma Shi is thinking?
The next day Mrs. Ma, sisters Yao Cunhui and others accompanied Mrs. Xie to visit Yun's house. Mrs. Yun and her three daughters-in-law greeted Mrs. Xie together, and ordered her grandchildren to come to see her. One gave a meeting gift.

Both the Xie family and the Yun family are aristocratic families, and they are very familiar with the etiquette of communication between the aristocratic families. Moreover, the two families have a close relationship, and they also have contacts with each other. After a few words, they are very familiar Yes, the atmosphere between the speeches is very good.Mrs. Ma felt like an idiot. Although she was here, she basically didn't know how to start a conversation. It was because Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Yun thought that she was sister Yao Cunhui's aunt, and calmly and actively led the conversation to her from time to time. Didn't make her stupid from beginning to end.
