Pick up a daughter-in-law to farm

Chapter 923 Memories
"Zijun, who are you looking at so engrossed?"

Ji Zijun was startled and immediately looked away: "I'm not looking at anyone, I'm just thinking about what grandma's words mean. The Luan family is just a third-rate family with a very shallow foundation, why does she want to marry them?"

Walking beside Ji Zijun was his good friend, Zheng Zhishi, the seventh son of Zheng's family, one of the cloth merchants of the Western Qi Dynasty. Miss Luan, the second daughter of the family's second wife, is about to marry into the Zhu family again. Although we are imperial merchants, it's still an honor to be married to an official family!"

A poor official in Beijing is rare!
Ji Zijun's mind is full of figures, guessing in his heart: Why did the Zhuang family and his wife go to Beijing~~
On June 29, the old lady of the Luan Mansion celebrated her 66th birthday.

Although close relatives came here for this birthday, the scene was extremely lively, with lanterns and festoons everywhere, and the doors were full of joy.

The Luan Manor's foundation here is not deep, so the so-called close relatives are only children and relatives.

Sang Yue followed Granny Liu's instructions and went to the street to prepare the necessary gifts, cloth, jewelry, tea and fruit, and naturally 66 catties of meat!
Zhuang Daniu looked at these gifts and was afraid they would not be enough: "Yue'er, is this really all right?"

Sang Yue rolled her eyes at him: "How much more do you have? There are more than 100 silver here. If this is in our village, it won't scare people to death?"

After hearing this, Zhuang Daniu was a little helpless: "Yue'er, but this is at the foot of the imperial city, with such light, will it make them look down on you?"

Sang Yue smiled faintly: "So what if you look up to them? So what if you look down upon them? Don't you think that if you add a little more gift, they will look up to you? Let me tell you, the more groundless a person is, the more afraid they will be looked down upon by others. I am just a village woman, no matter how much people look down on me, they still treat me as my village woman, and it has nothing to do with them!"

Zhuang Daniu knew that she was disappointed in her family relationship. Although Mrs. Luan was not as bad as her grandma, she couldn't say how affectionate she was.

And my daughter-in-law is a very emotional person, a person who treats her a little better and she treats you a little better.

This Old Madam Luan's performance of intimacy and intimacy made her daughter-in-law wrap herself tightly like a snail.

Feeling sorry for such a daughter-in-law, seeing no one around, Zhuang Daniu hugged her and sat in his arms: "Yesterday, my grandmother said that when we come to the capital, we will live half of the time at Zhuge's house and half of the time at Huo's house. Build us a yard. Daughter-in-law, what kind of yard do you want? Master asked me to ask you."

"There is no need to build a yard. If the stinky old man knows that we don't live in his yard, won't he beat me to death? Not to mention the Zhuge Mansion. I am a married woman and it is even more limited to go back to my mother's house. When I come, the two families will live separately."

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was in a better mood again, Zhuang Daniu put her down: "Well, then tomorrow I will go tell my grandma, we will live in Master's yard, and when Master gets old, we will take him to live in the village!"

Take him to Wai Shanzhai?
Thinking of the long chat with Princess Ningkang that day, Sang Yue felt that this chance was very small...

Mother Qian has asked for the gift, because the Zhuge family will also come to drink today because of the marriage of righteous relatives, Zhuang Daniu went to pick him up in person.

There was a happy event in Luan Manor today, and the house was very noisy.

Jinbao and Yinbao were left behind by Mrs. Huo, and Sangyue was rare and quiet. Seeing that it was still early enough, she helped Granny Liu and the two went to the pond in the back garden in the opposite direction of the front hall—to accompany her every day. The old man walks, this is Sang Yue's filial piety.

"You don't know, Yu's house in the past was no less than three times bigger than this one. There was not only a lake but also a river running through the back garden. Across the river was a big garden. There were not only various flowers in it, but also There are many fruit trees, and there are fruits to eat all year round..."

These days, Mrs. Luan no longer needs Grandma Liu, the former big maid, and the old man is very disappointed. Whenever Sang Yue takes her for a walk, she always recalls the old Yu's house, the time when she was reused.

People love to remember when they are old, this is the rule.

Sang Yue also likes to hear Granny Liu talk about people and events in the past. Although the events of that place have been around for a long time, it can reduce the chance of Granny Liu getting Alzheimer's disease.

The two walked half a circle around the lake in low voices, and when they arrived at the place where she and Zhuang Daniu were picking lotus seeds, Sang Yue helped Granny Liu to sit down: "Grandma, Yue'er will pick lotus seeds for you to eat. Eating the lotus is just right to cool off the heat."

Seeing that her granddaughter looked like a child, Granny Liu smiled warmly: "Well, go pick it, be careful, don't fall into the water."

"No, I'm not afraid even if I fall into the water, I can swim."

The two lotus pods are not old but tender. Sang Yue took off her hands after washing and ate them. You and I, one old and one young, looked like mothers and daughters, admiring the scenery of the pond.

"Madam Zhu came to celebrate the old lady's birthday in person, which is really unexpected."

The mother-in-law and grandson who were eating lotus seeds were stunned when they heard someone speak suddenly, but Sang Yue froze when she was about to stand up: "Fortunately, when Mrs. Zhu came to Luan's house to make an engagement, the third lady was already married. Otherwise, if this third young lady is not married, the marriage would be quite embarrassing, how could a village girl be worthy of being the daughter-in-law of your Zhu family."

A few days ago, Mrs. Zhu knew that Miss Luan Si was not the daughter of the Xu family. Although she was a little unhappy when she found out about the news, she thought that although the Zhu family was a family of officials, a fourth-rank Beijing official had no foundation here. It is difficult to get married in the imperial city.

It was originally a marriage promised to repay the kindness, and it was added to Luan's mansion, which is considered to be a family match with her and richer than the Zhu family, and Madam Zhu suppressed the unhappiness in her heart.

At this time, the two old sisters were talking about Miss Luan's family, and she smiled coyly: "Isn't it? Although Xiuhan's appearance can only be described as well-behaved, after all, she is a child raised by Mrs. Luan. How can she compare to girls from the mountains? Those of us, we really can’t miss a single step, and if we make a wrong move, we won’t know who to offend.”

"That's that, marrying a wife, marrying a virtuous, concubines and seductive women, this kind of unvirtuous and colorless woman is not worthy of being a concubine!"

Not virtuous and colorless?

Does this mean her?

Several women were talking and laughing as they walked, Sang Yue listened as if nothing had happened, but Granny Liu's face turned dark...

Seeing her so angry, Sang Yue hugged her: "Grandma, I will wear the new clothes you made for me later."

"Then how about some jewelry from your grandma?"

Sang Yue wanted to say that jewelry is fine, as if she had a mobile jewelry box on her head, she was really uncomfortable.

Only at this time she changed her mind!

"Okay. I wonder if the rouge you bought for me has melted away."

Grandma Liu smiled with tears in her eyes: "No, Grandma put it away for you, soaking the box in the well every day, it's cool there."

As soon as Sang Yue heard this, she happily pulled Granny Liu up: "Grandma, do I have to go back and change my clothes?"

"Well, I have to go back and do a good job of makeup, so that everyone can see the demeanor of our daughter in the mountains!"
