Chapter 150

For those rich families who came to ask him to look after their horses, he also unceremoniously accepted the consultation fees and gifts, which was also to save face for his son.And the more this is the case, the more people come to invite them, and they are respectful. After all, this is the father of Master Xiucai. It is your honor to be able to treat your livestock.

Now Hu Xin won the election directly, not to mention those who came to give things and money, and those who gave shop, those who came to vote under the Hu family, in short, they are not short of money now.

So when Hu Xin went to the capital, Uncle Hu had money to prepare for him.

The Ji family also thought that the weather might be cold in the capital, so they prepared several packages for Hu Xin, but Hu Xin didn't persuade him. This child spends very little time at home all year round. If he really wants to become an official in the future, then even Haven't seen each other for several years.

Thinking about three years later, is it possible to prepare for the wedding of these two little ones?When the time comes, Yu'er will take care of him, so she, a mother, can rest assured.

Uncle Chu had known for a long time that he was going to the capital with Du Youzhong this time.

His second brother also came over and asked him to take care of his in-laws.

Second master Chu still didn't pass the provincial examination this time, he is still a scholar.

However, Second Master Chu is used to it. Fortunately, there is a happy event on his in-law's side, so it can be regarded as a happy event on his side. After all, the better the Du family is, the better his daughter will be able to live after marrying.

Uncle Chu said with a smile: "Even if you don't tell me, I will take good care of you. They are your in-laws and our Chu family's in-laws. What's the matter, I will deliberately not take care of others?

Uncle Chu, Chu Qingyuan looked at the growth of the Du family, and it was impossible for him to say that he would not regret it, but the situation was already like this, and his daughter Fang Fei was already married. up.

Besides, he is still Fangzhi's uncle, so he naturally hopes that his niece's husband's family will get better and better in the future.

So he will take good care of Du Youzhong without his second brother telling him. Besides, both of them are Juren, so they can discuss and discuss together, which is better than being alone.

The second brother said that Du Youzhong was very knowledgeable, and he wanted to see it too.

When the Chu family went out this time, they brought a dozen servants with them, and even bought a dozen or so carriages, so Du Youzhong and Hu Xin's things were considered to be few.

Uncle Chu still had a meal at Du's house, and then he, Du Youzhong, Hu Xin, and his servant Changfu got into the carriage together and set off for the capital.

Hu did not turn back until he could no longer see anyone.

The new houses in the East Wing here are almost ready, and they have also been painted. It was brought forward to get rid of the smell of paint after a long time.

At that time, when the bride's dowry is brought in, it will not appear empty.

Of course, before Laba, the Hu family took Du Yu back. Du Erlang's academy will not be closed until after the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Li Dazhuang and Changshun are here to wait for him to go back together.

Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, Mrs. Hu is out all year round. At this time, it is time to go back and do more work, and do a good job of being filial to her mother-in-law.

Of course, Mrs. Qi and Mr. Du knew about Hu Xin and Du Yu's engagement. Not much stronger than others?

So imperceptibly, when Du Yu came back this time, the Qi family would not let Du Yu do any work, saying that he wanted to pamper her. Apart from keeping accounts for her, he also did needlework and the like.She wasn't even allowed in the kitchen.

It is said that she is already a big girl, so she should be confined in the room, otherwise her face will be tanned, and it will be ugly by then.

After the new year, Du Yu will be 13 years old, and to the Qi family, she will be a big girl, let alone engaged.

The engagement ceremony given by the Hu family is also important, and they know everything about it.

Mrs. Qi also asked Mrs. Hu, Dalang and Du Yu are engaged, why Erlang hasn't moved yet.

Hu said that after Dalang's marriage is completed next year, they will discuss Erlang's marriage. After all, they have to come one by one.

Du Yu is like this, but it is just that the marriage is settled first. They have agreed that they have to wait until Du Yu is at least 15 years old before they start thinking about marriage.

In other words, it is best to wait until Du Yu is sixteen before getting married.Hu said: "When Yu'er was 16 years old, there happened to be a spring, and Xin'er would definitely go to the capital to catch up for the exam. At that time, he would have no time, so what we discussed was to arrange the marriage before the year. Wait until Yu'er's 16th birthday to consummate the house, so that Yu'er can follow Xin'er to the capital to take care of her. Or wait for Xin'er to come back from the capital to hold the wedding."

Mrs. Qi immediately said: "Let's do the marriage a year ago. I heard that the daughters of the big families in the capital are all trying to rob people. At that time, Hu Xin really won the Jinshi, and when the time comes, they will be robbed." If you run away, it would be too bad, and if you get married, others will not be able to snatch it even if they want to."

Didn't the script say that someone won the number one prize, and was directly married to the princess by the emperor's old son, and became a son-in-law. If Hu Xin did the same, then would his granddaughter compete with the princess for a man?So no, I have to get married before going to the capital!

The old emperor can't rob people who are already married.

This is all Qi's own overthinking. Those men who are really taken away by others are because they are not firm in their minds and see a good future. future dross) are all left behind.

For example, Chen Shimei, if he admits that he has a wife and son, even the emperor would not match him with a princess, right?
But this drama is just drama, and it cannot be deduced at all.

For example, since Chen Shimei won the number one prize, won't people check his birthplace?Why don't you check the situation at his home?You must know that after marriage, the marriage certificate must be registered in the yamen to facilitate household registration management or tax payment.

If you don't ask anything, you need Princess Shang, and the royal family is not a vegetarian, okay?

It's just that Qi's family can't afford to talk about these reasons. Since her old man has this opinion, then we will discuss it like this in the future.

They are all relatives, everything is easy to talk about.

On the side of the long-term workers, after fattening the wheat in the field, the pigs were slaughtered, the meat was distributed to each person, and the wages were settled, and those who had to go home were allowed to go home.

And the woman who helped here also settled the money and gave her things, and asked her to go home with her husband. After all, she can go home just once a year (of course, taking leave is not counted), and the Qi family does not want There are people like this who still take it with them at home during the Chinese New Year.

Except for Li Dazhuang's family, because Li Dazhuang's family is all servants of his own family, so they are not considered outsiders.

Li Dazhuang's family came back with Du Erlang after the eighth day.

From Li Dazhuang's family, the craftsmanship in the kitchen is really good. When she comes, she basically does all the work in the kitchen, and she has all the colors, fragrances and flavors.She also has all kinds of fried fruits and so on, and the buns are also beautiful and delicious. She is really capable.

Li Dazhuang's family also knew that this old lady had a critical eye on herself, and felt that the master's family bought them, which was a bit of a disadvantage, so now she is a person who fully demonstrates that she is useful, and the master's family bought them.

Qi said with difficulty: "It seems that this person bought it, and there are benefits to buying it."

After hearing this, Du Yu hurriedly said, "Grandma, why don't we find some for you after the Chinese New Year?"

Now the third aunt is mainly busy in the tofu workshop. After losing Ouding, the fourth and fifth aunts have their own things to do.

Qi said: "Let's take a look, the family has hired someone, so we can't drive them away."

These words are not from Qi's heart, she also paid the wages for hiring someone, and she decided not to hire, that's all right.Just gotta find an excuse.

Now the Qi family also knows that with the improvement of the eldest son's status, the family is different from before after all.

If the elder son really won the Jinshi and became an official master, the Qi family must be served by someone, even if the Qi family thinks it is a waste of money, but they can't let others say that their son is an official and their mother is still doing it by herself work.

In particular, if the eldest son becomes a Jinshi, then there will be [-] acres of land that can be exempted from tax. At that time, the family will have a big business, and the fourth and fifth children will have to take care of these fields and take care of the tenants. Daughters-in-law also help themselves with housekeeping.

So the Qi family has to wait and see if his son can bring good news.

She also inquired, if anyone won the Jinshi, he would give this person a holiday to come back to worship the ancestors, and then arrange things.

The twelfth lunar month passed quickly every day, Du Yu and the others came back, and it was the 23rd year of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye. During this time, Du Youzhong also wrote a letter, saying that he had settled down in the capital, so everyone should not worry.

Hu Xin also sent letters to both Erlang and Du Yu, mainly talking about what he had seen and heard from Yunyang to the capital.

Du Erlang also knew that his eldest cousin had become his brother-in-law. At that time, he still felt awkward, because this brother-in-law was much older than him.If you call me brother-in-law, you can't call me out.

So he is still the same as before, call him big cousin.Anyway, he is the big cousin.

On Zhang's side, after returning from Du Yu and the others, he heard the news there. In the countryside, gossip is indispensable. Anyway, Du Mancang, the lobby uncle, moved out of that place directly, because living together is really a good idea. It's an aggrieved panic.

Du Fengshou and the others wanted to occupy Du Mancang's room, but Du Mancang's daughter-in-law said that they would rather demolish it than cheap wolf-hearted things.

So in the end, the roof was really removed, because the roof has beams and wood, and it can be reused after being removed.

The rest of the wall is an earthen wall anyway, if Du Fengshou and the others want to live, they should live there, and the couple should just treat it as charity.Mrs. Zhang was naturally provoked to make a fuss, but the village only wanted to watch the fun. Even if Mrs. Zhang said that Du Mancang and his wife were unfilial, no one would believe it.Because everyone knows about the division of their family. They know that the Zhang family was given full power to Du Fengshou at the beginning, but now they just demolished their house and only used the roof. There is nothing wrong with it. Well, it's all about saving and saving, and using what can be used.Du Mancang and his wife did nothing wrong, why are you making such a fuss.
