14. Depressed Death
After the funeral of Prince Ning Liu, Xiao Chen finally kept a feast for this husband who only met at the funeral. The Ning family was in a large courtyard, and no one learned about Xiao Chen's cousin since then. However, Aunt Chen was seriously ill. Mrs. He visited several times and sighed every time she went home, and was very worried about her sister-in-law's body.
Shen went to talk to Li, and felt that his guess was not bad. Li said to Shen privately, "Our master said that the Chen family is probably going to be developed. The Chen family took over the Ning family and got salt. After three or five years, the money was profitable."
Shen said, "I also heard from my husband that the Chen family seemed to have salt sensation, but isn't this salt sensation very difficult to deal with? It is said that no one in the officialdom can't even touch the edge of salt sensation."
Li knew that Shen had a fair relationship with Aunt Chen, so he pulled the corner of his lips, "I only said this to you. I didn't expect this to be what my master said. Why do you think the girl of the Chen family would marry into the Ning family?"
Shen frowned, "Maybe because Xiao Chen's cousin was a widow to Prince Ning Liu, the Ning family is grateful to her."
Li looked at Shen and said, "Don't be stupid, do you believe this? Since the marriage has been settled, the sixth son of the Chen family has never shown his face. Besides, what kind of family is the Ning family? If it weren't for the sixth son, how could he marry a business girl from such a small place to enter? Anyway, this matter is strange."
Shen sighed, "I often think in my heart that things have come to this point. If it were me, I would not be willing to let my daughter go to live as a widow. If the youthful and young people are over, will the whole life be like this?"
"You have always been soft-hearted, so you must know that there are so many people selling their children in this world." Li said lightly, "The ones we serve are not from buying and selling them. However, poor families have no choice but to sell their children and girls. Some people also look at the price code. As long as the price code is enough, nothing can be sold."
Li was young and married to Li Xin as a successor, and her stepson was older. Is there anything that was not worthy of being told by outsiders? Shen was not easy to ask about, so he had to change his mind, "Don't worry about this, I believe in the retribution of the underworld. I don't have a huge ambition to be rich and prosperous, as long as I live a peaceful life. In this world, doing good things is always better than doing bad things. As soon as the winter solstice is coming, let's pack up some things and see how Aunt Virtue?"
Li smiled, "I'm happy to have a love affair. If I don't ask you for your blessing, I won't be able to enter Aunt Virtuous again."
Shen smiled, "What's the point? Do you think I can have any face in front of Aunt Xian? Or should Aunt Xian look at you?"
The two then talked about the Winter Solstice Ceremony.
It was so busy and chaotic that it was time for Shen Su to get married.
The Shen family is just an ordinary family, and the marriage is complicated, and it is reliable for my father to study all his life, not to mention that there is a busy private school work, and if his mother is in charge of the family, Shen Suqin will come for the outside. Whether it is the list of treats and treats guests, or various meat and vegetables, Shen Su had already planned it a year ago.
Pigs and sheep are raised by themselves. After a year, there are about a hundred kilograms. Four or five heads are enough to eat meat. As for fruits and vegetables, in the cold winter, there are nothing more than winter melons, radishes, cabbage, and some apples and pears. These things are grown by themselves, and apples and pears are used. While the autumn ripens, Shen Su bought them in advance and hid them in the cellar and took them out to eat them. There are also tables, chairs, benches, basins, pans, pots and bowls. If they are not enough, Shen Su had already greeted the villagers and borrowed them.
With a son like Chen Su, even if the scholar couldn't pass the exam for a while, the Shen family's life was getting better and better every year. At that time, the Jiang landlord in the village was just looking at Chen Su's shrewd and capable. At that time, Chen Su's appearance was also very good, so he got a daughter from the landlord's family as his daughter-in-law.
It is said that it is a landlord, and the family has only a hundred acres of land, so it is not as rich as a family. The villagers give face and call them landlords and gentry.
While being busy with getting married, I have to send posts to relatives and friends when I take time.
Shen opened the big red wedding invitation and smiled, "The word was written by my father himself, which shows how much my father attaches importance to it."
"How can I not pay attention to it, just my son?" Chen Su said, "I think my writing is ugly, and I scolded me and ruined the red paper. If I had known that my father would write, I would not have written it."
Shen smiled, "Dad just loves to be stern. He has everything in his heart. You should have asked Dad to write it long ago, and he will definitely be happy."
Chen Su picked up a red fruit candied fruit in his mouth. He and his sister seemed to have the opposite temperament. He is a son and always prefers snacks, but his sister never eats this. Chen Su smiled and complained, "How did you know I didn't invite me? I even asked my father if he wanted to write it. He said he didn't want it. As a result, he didn't like it after I wrote it."
Thinking of his father's temper, Shen also smiled, "If you ask twice, then your father will agree."
Chen Su was depressed, "Our father is easy to talk to everyone. He is so good at treating me alone. No one believes that he can tell me." The old man didn't know what his personality was, but it was very strange.
Shen smiled and asked his brother how he was preparing?
"I prepared it slowly in the first year. In fact, there is nothing to prepare. I have prepared meat and vegetables, I borrowed tables, chairs and benches, and the chef said hello. I didn't sell the food last year, so I brewed dozens of jars of wine and saved all the money for the wine." Chen Su asked, "It's sister, when will you go home? Our mother has been talking about it several times. She also made fresh small bedding for Zijin."
"Where is there to prepare for Zijin, it's a big trouble. You get married and your new bedding is ready." Shen said, "I have discussed with my husband. I will go to the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. When my brother and sister return home for three dynasties, we will come home again, and the Chinese New Year will be almost over." Shen had already planned early. No matter what Mrs. He thought, she would have to go back to her parents' home easily, so she would rather ask He Gong to come back to study first. She wanted to take her daughter to stay at her parents' home for a few more days.
The reason for calmness is that his ancestors were also scholars, but they were already defeated. However, the house that I had been living in three places was spacious enough, and some were the houses where my sister and brother-in-law lived. However, we should gather the charcoal basin in advance to avoid the house being turbulent and cold. Not to mention anything else, Zijin is still young and children are especially afraid of the cold.
The siblings talked about getting married once again. Chen Su asked Shen about the Chen family again. Shen couldn't help but sigh again and whisper, "The Chen family is also a big family in our Bishui County. The family is not short of money, so why bother paying their daughter for the price? It's really disappointing."
Chen Su didn't think it was strange and said, "My sister has never been to the Prefecture, she just thinks that Bishui County is a big place. I used to do the same, but last time I went to the Prefecture with Brother Xin, it was really open to my horizons. Compared with the Prefecture, Bishui County is smaller. Even the Chen family is like this, and even third-rate families can't be placed in the Prefecture. Mr. Chen has salt intake, and after a few years, he doesn't have to worry about his great-grandchildren."
Shen said, "It's fine if you want me to say that you don't have to worry about food and drink. Like us, you're not as good as the best and have more than the best, and you're living a good life. A good daughter, if you don't talk about others, think about Zijin, don't talk about a piece of salt, even if someone gives me a mountain of gold, I can't bear to give me it."
Chen Su smiled, "A hundred people have a hundred tempers. There are people like Mr. Chen in this world, and naturally there are people like my sister."
Chen Su got married is a big deal, not to mention that Shen greeted Mrs. He in advance. Although Mrs. He was unwilling, he also packed up a gift to congratulate Mrs. Shen for the wedding. Mrs. Shen thickened it a lot and took her husband and daughter back to her parents' home. It was already the twelfth lunar month, and it was very cold. Shen had been married for more than two years, and the first time she took her husband and daughter back to her parents' home. Chen's father and mother were both very happy, but He Zijin was sweet-mouthed and said "grandparents" at once, which made Chen's father and mother smile.
Chen Su joked, "Oh, Zijin, now that your grandfather has used up all the laughter of the year, and he will live a life with a stern face next year." It was a joke that my father always had a stern face and was too majestic on weekdays.
Father Chen glared at his son, "I'm looking at the person who is going to get married, I'm unstable at all. I really get angry when I see you."
Chen Su was so handsome that he hit his father with an elbow and smiled, "We two were enemies in our previous life."
Today, Father Chen met his daughter's family, and it was a great day for his son to get married. He was in a good mood. He was in a bad mood for a while and then smiled and scolded his son, "I'm getting less and less like an adult. I'll call Zijin to laugh at you carefully."
He Zijin said frankly, "The groom is not a joke!" and it made people laugh again.
Chen's father was so happy, so he hugged He Zijin and asked her, "Little girl, do you still know what the groom is?"
He Zijin thought about it and said seriously, "It's similar to the shepherd, both of them are from the generation of the sage!" The people in the room laughed out loud again.
Why didn't He Zijin show her style of traveling through time? Because she was always upset and chattering from time to time, she only thought that she was a child and never thought about it. So much so that He Zijin regretted that many years of regret, but she was unable to become a child prodigy when she was a child. How did people's eyes grow? Why didn't they see her uniqueness?
