Yutai Bi

Chapter 103
There is a little more mutual benefit in the paper-thin family relationship, and everyone is satisfied on the surface.

Thinking of the two companions who will come to Chang'an, Cen Sanniang can't help but think of Xu and Baicao who have left, and sigh again and again.

What can't be broken can't be built.People's minds have changed, and she didn't know how to control it at first, so she had to make a one-size-fits-all approach.It was only today that Cen Sanniang realized where she was wrong.Knowing that identities are different, everyone in Zizaiju performs their own duties, and rewards and punishments are clearly defined.Mother Fang, who was born as the boss cook, is a bit rough, but loyal and enthusiastic.Ah Qiu is smart and sensible, and he also mentioned a first-class girl named Xia Chu who is calm in her work.

Things are often seen more clearly when looking back.Cen Sanniang secretly asked Ah Qiu to find out about Xu's and Baicao's situation.She couldn't make a slap, she was also at fault.If she could help, she would not ignore them.

Unexpectedly, Ah Qiu came back and reported that the owner of that small courtyard had changed.Hearing from the neighbors in the neighborhood that Baicao got married, he took Mrs. Xu to her husband's house.As for who she married, I only know that she is a wealthy businessman from another place.

Cen Sanniang was stunned for a while, a little sad.Master and servant, not even a letter.The last bit of worry about the two of them has also dissipated.I can only wish that Baicao will be reliable for life, and that Xu can retire safely.

The days passed.Cen Sanniang has been busy with her marriage, so it is inconvenient to go out.The news is a bit blocked.However, half a month before the wedding, the emperor suddenly made Baozhu, the third daughter of Yuchi's family, the official concubine of Prince Teng.He also appointed King Teng as the governor of Longzhou.Within ten days, he was ordered to get married before returning to work.

The second master of the Li family, Li Shangzhi, was so remorseful that his intestines were green, he brought an exquisite ox horn bow to look for Cen Sanniang, and asked her to hand over the bow to Yuchi Baozhu.Stimulated, he simply moved to Zhechong Mansion and refused to return to the city.

Immediately afterwards, Cen Siniang also posted a post asking her to come to the house.Du Jingshu also rushed to Li's Mansion and invited Cen Sanniang to Yuchi's Mansion to add make-up to Yuchi Baozhu.

Cen Sanniang was stunned by this news.She didn't want to understand how the emperor ordered the mandarin ducks.She still remembered that Du Yansui told herself that the taboo uncle was the governor of Youzhou who held a large army.The emperor refused to let King Teng have this marriage.As a general of the early Tang Dynasty, Yu Chigong had even more prestige.The eldest son Yuchi holds a third-rank important position.Why did the emperor agree?
Cen Sanniang followed Du Jingshu to Yuchi Mansion in a daze.Yuchi Baozhu held the bow and wept desperately.People don't know how to persuade them.Cen Siniang also looked a little haggard, and Cen Sanniang and Du Jingshu couldn't stay longer.After leaving Yuchi's mansion, when the two parted, Du Jingshu held Sanniang's hand, a little panicked: "Sanniang, my ninth brother is a good one. But I don't know who I will meet in the future."

Cen Sanniang was speechless for a moment, she just felt like a heavy stone was pressed in her heart.She couldn't help thinking that she actually didn't love Du Yansui either.Will this kind of marriage get rid of the situation of being trapped in a deep house when unmarried, and put on another shackles that are difficult to get rid of?Who knows how much freedom a married woman can have?After getting married and wanting to leave, can Du Yansui really reconcile with her and let her go free?

On the return carriage, she was silent and refused to speak.Hearing Aqiu's persuasion: "Everyone has their own fate, girl, let's open it up."

Cen Sanniang's heart trembled, and she laughed at herself thinking that she really thought too much, let's take a step and see.

King Teng has no news for her.When Yuchi Baozhu got married, Cen Sanniang couldn't go to see her off, and her wedding date was only five days away.

In the past, I only heard that getting married is a very exhausting thing.There are many things.Cen Sanniang grew up so big, she only added a box for Yuchi Baozhu.Because he wanted to secretly give her the bow from Li Shangzhi, he also asked Si Niang to avoid other ladies.He and Du Jingshu went alone.In Yuchi Baozhu's boudoir, there was no scene of being busy with marriage.Not to mention celebrating, it made the two of them feel sad for a while with her.

It was Cen Sanniang's turn, and Zizaiju was quite busy.It was not her turn to do it.The dowry has already been arranged.The 24 bags sent by the Du family were carried over intact.Originally planning to give her 24 loads, Cen Sanniang cut it in half on her own initiative, leaving money for Mrs. Yang to buy an additional [-] mu of land in the suburbs of the city.

Shangtian in Longzhou costs 25 taels of silver per mu, and Shangtian on the outskirts of Chang’an costs 60 taels of silver per mu.

The fertile soil in Guanzhong has been a granary since ancient times.The decoration of silk and satin is not as important as the annual growth of the land.Cen Sanniang also wants to buy a shop in the city for rent, so that she can use it for herself in the future.As a result, the land price for the pavement was frighteningly expensive, and the forces behind it were intertwined.Only then did she understand why it was so difficult for the Fang family, the richest man in Longzhou, to open a store in Chang'an City.

Jifu hangs on the hanger in the bedroom.The outer gown with a red phoenix embroidered with a red one-piece dress, and a red embroidered auspicious flower and bird skirt hanging from the waist.Complicated from the inside to the outside to the size of seven pieces.Cen Sanniang tried on the wedding dress, layer upon layer, wrapping her into a silkworm.Fortunately, it was April, and she felt that she could still bear such thickness.

Mother Fang's family, who manages to live freely, gave it to her.Ah Qiu beside her was also given to her by Xia Chu.Little Webster invited another woman named Renya to let Cen Sanniang choose, and bought two ten-year-old girls: Fengchun and Dongnuan.

Others... Please Quanfuren, Xi Niang, etc. are all handled by Xiao Wei.Cen Sanniang thought for a long time, and came to the conclusion that she could just wait for a few days.

In her previous life, Cen Sanniang never married, but only saw pigs run away.Being a human being in two lives made her ignore the situation at the age of sixteen.Cen Sanniang wanted to laugh, a 16-year-old girl, she lived to be 32 years old in her previous life, got sick and was not in a hurry to get married yet.She couldn't help thinking of the word consummation, no matter how calm she was, she felt a little uncomfortable.

It happened that Ah Qiu came in and said, "Girl, your natal brother is here. Da Furen invites you to come over."

"Who?" Cen Sanniang was taken aback, then jumped up.Could it be that brother Jiu is here?She smiled, remembering Brother Jiu's pretentious appearance, and took Ah Qiu there in a hurry.

Before I went in, I heard a crisp voice from inside: "My sister is out of the cabinet, and there should be brothers to go out on her back. The boy is young, please ask the second master of the Li family to do it for you."

The Li family also discussed in this way.But hearing what Cen Zhilin, who was only ten years old, said, Little Webster still covered his lips with his sleeve and smiled.

Hearing his voice, Cen Sanniang stepped into the room, and called him with a smile: "It's really brother Jiu!"

Cen Zhilin stood up, looked Cen Sanniang up and down, and said with a stern face: "The elder is by your side, please pay your respects to Madam before we discuss."

I haven't seen him for more than two years, Cen Zhilin has grown half his head taller, and is still Yuxue's cute baby fat, but he hasn't changed his old-fashioned temperament.

Cen Sanniang was angry and funny, and went forward to salute little Webster.She was full of things to ask Cen Zhilin.But I saw him sitting on a chair and continuing to talk politely.

It was someone else, and after a few greetings, Little Webster served tea to see off the guests.He is obviously about the same age as his son, acts like an adult, and looks cute, so little Wei Shi fell in love with him.He raised his voice and ordered to bring some snacks.

Cen Zhilin got up again and thanked him.

"The two boys in my family are about the same age as my elder brother, and they are at the age of studying. Why don't Master Ninth move to the house, and have a companion for studying." Little Webster sincerely invited him.I also want my two sons who are always acting like a baby to learn etiquette from Cen Zhilin.

Cen Zhilin shook his head: "Thank you, madam, for your kindness. After I send my sister out of the cabinet, I will go to Songyang Academy to study."

"Songyang Academy?" Little Webster gasped.

Songyang Academy is located at the southern foot of Songshan Mountain.Founded in the Northern Wei Dynasty.Very famous.

The children of the Jingzhaowei family, the Du family, and other high-ranking families wanted to join if they were overwhelmed.

Cen Sanniang didn't know, just seeing little Webster's astonished gaze and the stinky boy's unconcealable lust, he knew that it must be something great.She didn't speak, and waited until Cen Zhilin Siwen ate a snack before Xiao Wei let him go.

After entering Ziziju, Cen Zhilin looked and looked again, and said to Cen Sanniang with a hum, "I'm relieved that you live here."

Cen Sanniang drank away the left and right, and without any scruples, she turned his face and laughed loudly: "Children, every family, pretending to be adults all day long, my hands itch when I look at you."

There was no one around, Cen Zhilin was not that awkward, touched his face and snorted: "I want to meet him before you leave the cabinet."

"Who are you seeing? Do you want to see Du Yansui?" Cen Sanniang reacted, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Could it be that you still have to teach him like a brother-in-law?"

Cen Zhilin was silent for a while and said: "I want to see how he is better than Brother Fang Qi."

It seems that the little guy is a little dissatisfied that his wholehearted devotion in the past has failed. "I'll find out in a few days. Your sister doesn't know how good it will be. It's true that it won't be worse than Fang Ming." Cen Sanniang remembered that day when she had a private meeting with Fang Ming in the mountains.At that time, she thought it would be nice to marry Fang Ming.

If she marries Fang Ming, will she and him regard making money as a common language in the future?Datang was extremely lenient towards businessmen.Hongshang should be the closest to the modern concept.Some thoughts are deeply ingrained in the bones, and trying to adapt to this era is also forcing yourself.

Not being able to marry Fang Ming didn't make her very sad.She thought it was okay to marry Du Yansui.Except King Teng.As long as Cen Sanniang thinks of the handsome King Teng, she will think of the scene on the boat.

Cen Sanniang was a little dazed, could it be that she is a mediocre person?As long as the other party doesn't touch her bottom line, she seems to be able to accept anyone.But what can she do?She can let her pick and choose, it is best to have a free love before marriage?
She smiled, thinking what's the use of those?Just try to have a better life in the future.She looked at Cen Zhilin with her chin propped up, and changed the subject: "Is that academy difficult to get into?"

"Of course!" Cen Zhilin raised his chin proudly, "Mr. Bie He only accepts five disciples a year."
