Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 29

What is the purpose of a man marrying a wife?Breeding, and helping men take care of the inner house.The former basically only needs to be a woman, while the latter requires character, the ability to deal with people, the ability to be a housekeeper, and the means of communication.

To marry a wife is to marry a virtuous person, and this virtuous person doesn't just mean not being jealous and accepting beautiful people to spread branches and leaves for her husband.On the contrary, this reproduction still has to be a little later, and the means of ability are the top priority.

Fang Qin was smarter than Huang Ke'er, and she pursued a little more than Huang Ke'er, so she went back and thought about it all night, and came over the next day to give Shen Ruyi an answer, willing to learn the rules with Shen Ruyi.

The three little sisters usually get together to play when they have nothing to do. Now two of them are going to learn the rules. Huang Keer is unwilling to be alone, and Mrs. Huang is very persistent, so Huang Keer spends a day, also joined in.

After Shen Ruyi brought it up, Nanny Song didn't hesitate at all, and directly agreed to the matter.Before she and Nanny Lu came over, Marquis Shen had confessed that if there were no accidents in the future, the two of them would be with Miss Shen and Mrs. Shen for the rest of their lives. Mrs. Shen's mother and daughter were the masters they would serve for the rest of their lives. .

The nanny who can come out of the palace alive, either has a big backer behind her, or she is very smart.Nanny Song and Nanny Lu naturally don't have big backers, so they are smart enough.Those who are smart enough naturally know clearly that the master doesn't care how capable the people below are, what they need most is loyalty.

Furthermore, although Mrs. Shen is not very capable, she is not stupid.Although Miss Shen is young, she is assertive and smart. The two of them are also kind-hearted. They are very generous to the servants who have been with her for many years, and they have worked hard to make arrangements. If one day they can become the wife and the girl's confidants , do you still need to worry about the rest of your life?

Of course, we have to take our time now. Not only do they want to see if the master is reliable, but the masters also need to see if they are available. Only when both sides are confirmed can they have the opportunity to continue in the future.

Therefore, after listening to Mrs. Shen and Shen Ruyi's request, the two immediately agreed.From then on, when Shen Ruyi learned the rules, she had two more companions.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and when there is something to do, time flies by very quickly.In a blink of an eye, the end of the year was coming, and Lord Shen sent someone to deliver a lot of silk and satin, rouge powder, spiced tea, and a stack of banknotes.

Mrs. Shen only knew that this was about the last New Year she and Ruyi spent in Zhuangzi.Therefore, this New Year's Eve is particularly grand.Because of Shen Houye's statement, the wives of magistrates in the surrounding counties also had people give New Year gifts and posts.However, Mrs. Shen only returned Mrs. Lin's.Then, Mrs. He Lin took Shen Ruyi to visit Mrs. Zhifu's house for another year's greetings, and don't worry about the rest.

In the summer, the already Fang Qin married Huang Keer's eldest brother with a generous dowry.

Mrs. Huang is a smart person. Looking at the entire Daming Mansion, only her daughter and Fang Qin are the only ones who can call each other sisters with Shen Ruyi.But after her daughter gets married, she belongs to someone else's family, and she is not qualified to visit Mrs. Shen, and Fang Qin is the only one who wants to maintain the relationship with the Hou's mansion in the future.

What's more, Fang Qin's behavior now has improved a lot compared to before. She is also smart enough, and her son likes it very much. Mrs. Huang just hesitated for a few days before agreeing to the marriage. .

And Huang Ke'er, who held the Jiji ceremony last year, has also made a family appointment. He is the second son of the county magistrate of Qinghe County. He is very good. , and must be able to win the exam.

Then, Shen Ruyi prepared a large dowry for Chunhua and Chunye, and married them off one after another.She picked the candidate in the town, and after more than half a year of special observation, she was sure that her character was good enough, and that's when someone came to her to give her a hint.

In autumn, Lord Shen Hou came to Zhuangzi for the second time.Mrs. Shen brought Shen Ruyi to stand at the second gate to welcome her. When she saw Lord Shen, she smiled and saluted: "Master Shen is here. Did you go all the way smoothly?"

Marquis Shen got off his horse, looked Mrs. Shen up and down, then raised his eyebrows slightly, as expected, he had grown a lot, when he saw him for the first time, he was still very embarrassed, but now he is already very generous.

Looking at Shen Ruyi again, Shen Houye was even more surprised. He knew that his daughter was smart enough, otherwise, he would not have taken this daughter seriously, and specially invited a nun to teach her, but he did not expect that this My daughter is so smart, but after more than a year, she seems to have been completely reborn.

It's not that her cleverness is more obvious, but that from the perspective of her actions and demeanor, Shen Ruyi a year ago was at most a lady of the family, but now Shen Ruyi is a noble girl from a famous family. Feet, the posture is like flowing clouds and flowing water, elegant and generous, with natural extravagance.

"I'm here to pick you up." Marquis Shen smiled with satisfaction, as expected of his daughter.

Mrs. Shen and Shen Ruyi were not surprised. The last time Lord Shen came over, he decided to pick them up at this time. Counting the days, it was almost a few days ago.

"Is everything packed?" Walking inside first, Lord Shen looked around and asked, Mrs. Shen nodded: "It's almost packed, just a few clothes and some specialties from Zhuangzi, three to five It can be taken away in a carriage."

Shen Ruyi took the opportunity to lean over: "Father, can you give me this Zhuangzi?"

Lord Shen turned his head to look at Shen Ruyi, Shen Ruyi gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand to hug his arm and shook it, then quickly let go, the feeling was totally different from the feeling of being coquettish to his mother.Shen Houye was a little surprised, but didn't feel much. Shen Ruyi was not the first daughter to hug his arm and act like a baby.

"You see, my mother and I have lived here for ten years, and this is our second home." Shen Ruyi continued to act coquettishly with a smile: "Anyway, this Zhuangzi is not big, so my father gave it to me, right?"

Her manpower, her property, well, they are not counted as property now, but the industry started here. If Zhuangzi doesn't get it, he is really worried.

"Father, father, you just agree?" Although it was a little awkward, but in my heart, I could still act like a baby by replacing someone with my own mother. Shen Ruyi continued to say with a reddish face. Xiao, do you really think that you have hidden that bit of reluctance well?

However, it's rare to see her acting like a baby. Anyway, this Zhuangzi is not big and has no use, so it's okay to give it to her.So, Shen Houye nodded happily: "I will give you the title deed when I go back."

Shen Ruyi was overjoyed, she would not tell Lord Shen that the current Zhuangzi is not the same Zhuangzi as last year.Since Marquis Shen generously gave such a thick banknote, she had people buy a lot of fertile land in nearby villages and towns. Adding up with Zhuangzi, there are nearly [-] mu of land.

"Father, when are we going back to the mansion?" After receiving Lord Shen's words, Shen Ruyi let go of what she had been thinking about for nearly a year, followed Lord Shen into the room easily, and poured tea for Lord Shen graciously. .

Mrs. Shen smiled slightly, and stood at the door and called Nanny Chen: "Bring over the dim sum, it's just right for you to eat when it's hot, let the kitchen start preparing lunch, and it will be served in a while."

Nanny Chen hurriedly responded, and met Nanny Lu when she went out, and dragged Nanny Lu to the kitchen together.

Shen Houye took a sip of tea: "Why, do you want to go back early?"

"No, I want my father to stay in Zhuangzi to accompany us through the Mid-Autumn Festival, and leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival." Shen Ruyi said with a smile, and Mrs. Shen came over and squeezed her: "What nonsense, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion. I want to go back and live with the people in the Hou Mansion."

Shen Ruyi pouted unhappy: "Father has spent many Mid-Autumn Festivals with the people in the Hou Mansion. What's wrong with staying with me and my mother this time? Besides, there are only ten days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Hurry up But I'm very tired, it's rare for my father to go out, don't you want to rest for a few days?"

If Marquis Shen stayed with them to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with them, it would be considered as Marquis Shen supporting them, so as not to be disowned as soon as they entered the Marquis' mansion.Instead of waiting to be dealt with, it is better to attack first and tell the people in the Hou Mansion clearly that it is not that Lord Shen didn't take their mother and daughter seriously.

However, Lord Shen had to cooperate with this matter. If Lord Shen was unwilling to cooperate, Shen Ruyi had to think of another way.For example, since my mother has not returned to Beijing for ten years, I am afraid that the gold book and dress of the imperial order will be damaged, so I want to take them out to have a look?
Although Shen Ruyi didn't say it directly, she didn't hide her little thoughts.Lord Shen turned the beads on his wrist and smiled gently: "What good will it do me?"

"Of course there are." Shen Ruyi didn't expect Lord Shen Hou to agree immediately at first, and she had thought about the words of persuasion many times: "First, this year's autumn is about to begin. There are quite a few sellers of test questions..."

Lord Shen couldn't help laughing: "Which year did Chunwei not sell test questions?"

"This time is different. Brother Huang said that in the past, everyone took it as a joke and no one cared, but this year, everyone is crazy, and everyone is going to buy test questions." Shen Ruyi frowned slightly. This matter was very troublesome back then. The big one, the emperor is old, and the princes are starting to fight for power, the imperial examination is a big piece of fat, even if you can't bite it, you can't let others take it away.

"Well, even if I made a fuss, I'm a girl, so I don't know much about these things." Shen Ruyi curled her lips. In her previous life, Brother Huang was almost killed because of this matter of selling test questions. Disqualified from the imperial examination.

"Secondly, the daughter of Mr. Pei's family in Xiqing Mansion celebrates her birthday in two days, so she posted a post for me and my mother. I want you, father, to accompany us there." Grandpa shook in front of him.

As for Mr. Pei being a member of He Xueshi's school, there is no need for Shen Ruyi to explain it specifically.
