What happened next went smoothly beyond Eleven Niang's expectations.

Grandma Huang San went to the Jin family to propose marriage, and the Jin family fully agreed. They invited the wife of Mr. Wei, the commander of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, to be the matchmaker and accepted Xu Sijian's invitation. On the Xu family side, the third master came early to greet Mrs. Tai.

He happily placed Miss Jin's Gengmei invitation in the ancestral hall, and took the initiative to discuss Xu Sijian's marriage with Mrs. Zhen: Sister Zhen will marry in October. I think our brother Jian has decided to get married at the end of the year, and we will get married tomorrow in the spring. What do you think?

Mrs. Tai drank tea slowly and said: If you have money or not, marrying a wife will make it easier to celebrate the New Year. Sister Zhen's side has been ready two or three years ago. There is nothing to be busy about. I think it will be decided in July.

It’s better to choose today to get married in this month.

The third master looked at his wife in surprise, quickly came to his senses, and said with a smile: August is the day when the sweet scent of osmanthus blooms. It is neither cold nor hot, so it is the best time to hold a wedding. It was my mother's thoughtfulness.

Taijiaren ordered Mrs. Du to bring the imperial calendar: I think it’s September 20th. Sister Zhen will get married on October 20th, and we will have a kiss on the sixth day of October. After two days of cleaning up, it will be brother Jin’s third birthday. Taifu

As he said that, a smile appeared on his face, and then everyone can be lively again

The third master said yes with a smile on his face.

The fifth lady came over with the list: Mom, take a look.

Brother Shen's first birthday gift will be held in about ten days. Xu Lingkuan and the fifth wife decided to hold a big party and started preparations early.

The third master saw him and stood up to say goodbye. This was a matter for the female relatives in the inner courtyard. He was an old man and the uncle of his child, so it was inappropriate to stand here.

The wife did not keep him, but said with a smile: "Danyang is becoming more and more capable. I think this list is well drawn. In time for brother Jian to get married, you and your fourth sister-in-law go to Sanjing Hutong to help."

The third master had one foot inside the door and one foot outside. He paused for a moment before slowly stepping out with the foot inside the door.

The wife looked at it and sipped it. She smiled and returned the list to the fifth wife: Go and show it to your fourth sister-in-law. Your fourth sister-in-law also knows how to help you arrange it.

The fifth lady responded with a smile and went to the eleventh mother's place.

, the weather is hot in June. I have a glass screen in the library, and I will put it in the flower hall. I will also explain it to the greenhouse, and I will put fresh flowers on the flower table.

The fifth lady nodded repeatedly: all the utensils were made of blue and white porcelain, and the tables were covered with red tablecloths.

Big red, Eleven Niang said thoughtfully, otherwise the color of the lake is not as festive as the bright red, but it looks refreshing.

Mrs. Hu Se Wu's brows were eager to try, she was worried that the wine would stain her and it would be difficult to clean. She looked a little excited.

Only satin will be dyed lake color. If it is dirty, it cannot be washed.

Eleven Niang said with a smile: It is better to use coarse kudzu cloth. If it is dyed, it can be washed.

The fifth lady went and took the eleventh mother, and we went to the sewing thread to ask.

Eleven Niang was also quite interested and wanted to know if the coarse kudzu cloth could be dyed into a beautiful color. The two of them spent the whole afternoon in the sewing room and had dinner together to decide how to arrange Brother Shen's first birthday gift.

It was a little late when I went to say hello to the madam.

The madam looked at the two people and shook her head. She smiled and said: "It takes so much effort just to be able to dye a table in ten days."

Madam Niangwu refuses to comply. Our brother Shen has celebrated his first birthday ceremony, and it’s time for the wedding ceremony before we can invite relatives and friends to a gathering like this. Just let us dye the cloth.

When did I say I won’t let you fool around? Madam Tai smiled and hugged brother Jin who was sitting next to her and was concentrating on playing with the nine-ring ring. You go straight to dyeing the cloth. I’m afraid that you won’t be able to dye the cloth well by then.

We have to change the table surround to green and the celadon porcelain to sweet white porcelain, which makes us unable to calm down.

No, no. The fifth lady hurriedly assured that the people at the sewing and sewing room had told them to let the dyeing room work overnight, and something could be done in five days at most. If not, we will just change to aqua blue ones. Today I

The aqua blue pavilion I tried with my fourth sister-in-law was also very beautiful, but not as brilliant as the lake color.

Watching the two daughters-in-law discussing and discussing, Mrs. Tai couldn't help but smile happily. From the corner of her eyes, she caught sight of Brother Jin pouting as he turned over and over the nine-link chain, and she even laughed heartily.

He kissed brother Jin on the ground and said: I don't care about you. You can do whatever you want.

I just played with our brother Jin, played with our brother Shen, and kissed Brother Jin on the cheek.

The fifth lady went to hold her son's hand: Brother Shen, you must grow up quickly. You must be filial in front of your grandmother like the sixth brother.

However, Brother Shen turned his head and pointed at the plate of lotus seed cake placed on Mrs. Tai's Kang table. He looked like he was about to eat it.

The fifth lady lightly slapped her son's hand: "You foodie"

Everyone laughed.

When there was no one in the room, Mrs. Du whispered: You are getting older, Brother Jin is getting heavier and heavier, please let Yuban and the others hold the Sixth Young Master.

The madam disagreed: I knew it well. After a pause, she couldn't help but argue, brother Jin has a tough life, and he looks like a tiger-headed man. He looks just like Lao Si when he was a child. When I look at him, I think of Lao Si when he was young.

As he spoke, he showed an expression of reminiscence. At that time, the second son was also talking to the lady, with a bit of sadness in his eyes.

This is a sad thing for the madam. It is like a scar that bleeds when it is uncovered. No one dares to touch it easily.

Mother Du changed the subject with a busy smile: "Would you like to try that little dress embroidered with white lotus flowers that the fourth lady made for you a few days ago?"

You don’t need to interrupt us. We have known each other very well after having been together for decades. The wife perked up and said with a smile, I used to see this house in a mess, and it was inevitable that I would feel unhappy. I often wished that I could not leave.

I'm afraid this house is going to be a different scene. But now, I'm starting to think about it. Every peck and every drink is destined. If the second brother doesn't leave, how can the title fall to the fourth child? If the title doesn't fall to the fourth son,

If it were the fourth child, the family business would have been ruined long ago. With that said, Mrs. Tai sighed softly and talked to Mrs. Du about herself. The old Marquis had said that the second child had a gentle temperament.

, benevolent and sincere, and let him maintain the business. Although he will suffer a small loss, he will not lose his benevolence and righteousness. With the support of Yi Zhen, he can ensure that the family reputation does not fall.

The fourth child has a resolute temperament and is resourceful, while Yuan Niang is shrewd, capable and decisive in killing. No matter how evil the world is, they will be able to survive. When the time comes, let them stand on their own. If they can win the favor of the emperor and grant a son,

As for Xiao Wuyi, he is the youngest. We doted on him more than disciplined him. We were afraid that it would be difficult for him to become a good husband in the future. We only wanted him to have no faults, not to shine in the family, so we decided on the Danyang marriage early.

The madam said with a slight pause in her tone.

It is said that although the third child has a good-natured nature, he is soft-spoken and has no idea when it comes to things. He just wants to be a good person. He originally wanted to marry him to a daughter from a scholar's family, so he hired a gentleman to stay at home for him.

But it’s not so easy to find a daughter from a scholar’s ​​family. A well-known family despised him for not having any fame and being a commoner. Coming from a down-and-out family, I was afraid of being known as being unkind to a commoner. That’s why I begged Gan to marry him.

When Mrs. Gan first entered the house, she followed the rules and never made a mistake. I looked happy. But the old man said that her eyes often flickered when she looked at her sister-in-law and sister-in-law. I'm afraid she was not a peaceful person. If something bad happened, it was probably her fault.

Get up. Let me beat her more if I have nothing to do.

I didn't think so at the time.

I always felt that she was the daughter-in-law and I was the mother-in-law. The gentleman sitting in the hall also said that the third child had no talent in studying and had to work hard to make up for his weakness. I thought that if he continued to take the exams, it would take more than ten or twenty years.

They will live under my nose for more than ten or twenty years. If there is anything wrong with her, I can't control it. Besides, I have always been kind to Yizhen and Yuanniang, how can I be so angry with her alone?

Eyes raised

Because of this matter, the old Marquis said nothing less about me and I also argued with him

The madam smiled bitterly.

Unexpectedly, the Marquis said everything was right

This is the first time Mama Du has heard these words.

But no matter what, she was a servant, and the Madam told her because she thought highly of her, but she couldn't forget that her own status and status were mixed in. Once she got involved, the fate between her and the Madam would be over.

.

Mother Du could only say something good: Mr. Hou had a sharp eye when things happened, and among the other gentlemen, only Mr. Hou could stand up to him.

Mrs. Ai Tai shook her head gently and murmured, at that time Yuanniang wanted to separate and live alone. I saw the fourth child hesitating in front of me and felt very uncomfortable. Well, they can live alone if they want to.

Come on, anyway, the old marquis wanted them to start their own business. Who knew that the old marquis disagreed. He said that the current situation in the court was turbulent, and he was afraid that the second son would not be able to cope with it alone. The family has few heirs.

That branch is far away in Nanjing and has no one to support it. Now that the fourth child is separated, the family has no prestige. Let’s keep them for a few years and see what happens. He once joked that if the world is peaceful,

Fortunately, if there is no peace, I can only rely on the fourth child to revive the family.

The madam’s eyes were filled with tears.

Sometimes I think about it, maybe this is fate

Before he finished speaking, tears fell down in big drops.

When Mrs. Tai and Mama Du were talking about their son-in-law, the son-in-law was also talking about Mrs. Tai.

In this way, mother means to let Brother Jian get married in Sanjing Hutong.

The third lady's face turned red and purple, and she walked around the room like ants on a hot pot.

Although the third master looked calm, there was some unconcealable frustration in his eyebrows: There is nothing wrong with being in Sanjing Hutong, everyone knows that we have moved out.

Why is this happening? The third lady is getting anxious. The gifts given by the guests here will be different in front of the wedding. Brother Jian is already very aggrieved for marrying the daughter of the chemical deputy commander. Now he has to talk about it, with his back to the third lady.
