Chapter 410
There is also a reason why the third girl was anxious to talk to Chongyang because she felt that Chongyang is becoming more and more cunning now. For example, taking the matter of hiring her great-grandmother He as a consultant, Chongyang is a killer of many things. She not only found a second spring in career for her great-grandmother, but also asked her great-grandmother to speak for him. Originally, the third girl was very opposed to doing business in Chongyang, but when Chongyang asked Her Mother He to plead for him, the third girl has always listened to her grandmother, so she didn't teach Chongyang business. Of course, the third girl himself also knew what the eldest son was. If she really wanted to study in Chongyang, she could kill him.
Since she failed to study, the third girl wanted to tell her eldest son about marriage and start a family and career, and be more stable.
Look, the third girl fell in love with Miss Lu.
As the third girl said, I like Miss Lu's literary and gentle temperament.
Furthermore, when Mr. Lu Hanlin retired, the Lu family was also a scholarly family. If Mr. Lu San was not really a white-hearted person, the third girl might not have the confidence to mention this marriage. After all, now that his family has taken the business path, it is still slightly worse than the scholarly family.
The third girl was very interested in this eldest lady Lu, so she came over to inquire with He Zijin first. After hearing Zijin's sister's opinion, she saw that Zijin also said that Miss Lu was good. The third girl became more and more happy and started discussing with her husband. It turns out that the intersection between the Hu family and the Lu family was from when A Nian was "assassinated" and A Nian was "assassinated". Hu Wen was unaware of the inside story at first and stayed at the Jiang family almost every day. The Lu family and the Jiang family have always had a good relationship, so when the Lu family came to visit the Jiang family, they met the Hu family, a relative of the Jiang family.
The third girl mentioned the Lu family with her husband, but Hu Wen's feelings about the Lu family were no better than his wife. Hu Wen said, "I recognize his third master, but he is a kind person, but it's too inconvenient to do business."
"I heard that the third master of the Lu family often sings with some literati poems and essays from Beichang Prefecture." said the third girl.
"What's that? It's just a few poems. If you really have talent, why didn't you get a fame like Master Lu? Besides, Master Lu of the Lu family said that Master Lu is a Hanlin and a person with great knowledge. But Master Lu has three sons, but his eldest son won the juren and donated an official outside. He is still in the position of county magistrate. Master Lu Er is just a scholar and has used money to manage the lack of a county magistrate. Master Lu San is just a white body. I don't look down on me, and I have no fame. He is not good at writing poetry than Master Lu San. However, a man is a real man, but he has no fame and fortune, and he should do some common tasks to earn money to support his family. But Master Lu San, besides hearing about poetry and prose,
I never heard of him doing any mundane business. He didn't know how many of his farms and industries were. I told me that Mr. Lu San was a little too angry." Although Hu Wen had no fame and had become a businessman, he always looked down on those who did not value mundane business, even scholars. Hu Wen liked Jiang Ren and A Nian who could support his family. Of course, A Nian who could study and support his family is the best. For example, he and Jiang Ren were not good at studying, but supporting his family is also perfect. Hu Wen always believed that a man should stand up to the sky and establish a family! He who sang poems and prose like Mr. Lu San who did not value mundane business was really not the same as Hu Wen.
The third girl had a different opinion and said, "I have also inquired about this matter. I heard that the Lu family's property has always been managed by women. Now it is Mrs. Lu who is watching, and Mrs. Lu is in charge of it. Because of this, the girl in his family is both gentle and capable. We don't have a daughter to marry the Lu family. Don't we want to marry a wife for our son? If we marry a wife, we will marry someone who can manage the family. Otherwise, in the future, if we earn the family business in Chongyang and encounter a prodigal family, how much will it be enough for her to lose!"
Hu Wen said this to his wife, but he felt it was reasonable. Anyway, he was a relative. If his temperament was not in line, he would not have to contact him more. As long as the girl was good, he would be fine. Hu Wen said, "Then I'll ask about the Lu family's character."
"Success." The third girl laughed, "It's not that I praise the eldest girl of the Lu family, even Zijin's sister said that the Lu family is good."
Hu Wen said, "I also ask about the meaning of Chongyang, and he must be happy."
"I know, if the Lu girl is unhappy, just ask him to find her by herself." The third girl was so worried about the eldest son. Because she had a second son and a third son, she also had to worry about her, so she thought that she might as well make a marriage for the eldest son first, and that her daughter-in-law would worry about the eldest son's affairs in the future.
Hu Wen naturally attached great importance to his eldest son's marriage. Although he had been in Beichang Prefecture for a short time, he also understood the Lu family's background in a short time. After touching the Lu family's background, Hu Wen felt good about the Lu family's marriage. Although Master Lu San didn't really care about Hu Wen's temperament, Master Lu was the kind of person who was quite admired by Hu Wen. It was nothing else. Master Lu had just returned to Beichang Prefecture, and now the Beichang Prefecture official school has added a course for the Six Arts of Gentlemen. Master Lu, who has retired from the court, and the elderly Hanlin, who have been in power, voluntarily went to Beichang Prefecture to teach calligraphy for free.
Mr. Lu’s actions reminded Hu Wen of his grandfather.
Hu Wen believes that such a selfless person must be good at his granddaughter.
Hu Wen was also satisfied with the Lu family, thinking that he would find an opportunity to mention this matter to Mr. Lu San first. The third girl said, "You men are careless, so you can't force this matter. If you ask directly, the Lu family will refuse it, won't there be room for turning around?"
"We are not bad at Double Ninth Festival. We know how to make money to support our family at a young age." Hu Wen is full of confidence in his eldest son.
The third girl said, "Of course the child is good for his own family. I think Chongyang is good, but you don't ask this. Think about it, this matter is different. If business matters are not successful, and business cannot be successful, no one will turn against each other because of business failure. But we have a tacit understanding of each other's marriage. If the Lu family is not happy, we don't have to mention it. After all, a family of women asks for a hundred families, and the daughters are outstanding, not only our family can see it. If people are not happy, we will not talk about the hurt face, and the faces of both families are not good. If their family is happy, we will mention it again, wouldn't we all be happy?"
"What do you think? You have to let the Lu family know our sincerity. Also, there are many scholars who are a little scholarly. Although we are not very successful in studying in Chongyang, other superiors are excellent. We have to let the Lu family know all these." Hu Wen has been in business for many years and has a lot of knowledge about scholarly families. Moreover, the Hu family itself is also a scholarly family, and Hu Wen is very aware of some of the habits of scholarly families.
"I know."
The third girl Hu Wen and his wife fell in love with the Lu family. First, Hu Wen discussed with his uncle He Gong and planned to donate a sum of silver to the Beichang Prefecture official school through the Education Department. The money was not much, five hundred taels, but this kind of donation was long-term and was available every year. It was used to reward students with outstanding academic performance and primary school students with poor families and good academic performance.
Hu Wen's move is highly praised by He Gong.
He Gong naturally arranged for him.
Hu Wen donated the silver first. The third girl often went to He Zijin's place to sit these days, but she just didn't. He Zijin knew that the third girl had fallen in love with Miss Lu. He Zijin also saw that the Lu family was good, and intentionally or unintentionally, so he often said good things to the Hu family. Of course, this is also the truth. Especially after Hu Wen donated the silver, Hu Wen's kind deeds, Mr. Lu, the Grandfather Lu, who was the master of calligraphy at the official school, naturally knew about it. Mrs. Lu often came to He Zijin to talk, and when he accidentally talked about this, He Zijin laughed, "My sister and brother-in-law, I like scholars the most. The children at home all studied at the age of six."
Mrs. Lu San smiled and said, "It's good to study, but people are always sensible when they read more."
"Yes. Sister, my brother-in-law came to Beichang Mansion from a thousand miles away. His great-grandfather was also concerned about him and always urged them to teach their children well in letters." He Zijin picked up the longan tea and took a sip. "The elderly in the family are concerned about their children, especially after the Hu family retired, he attaches great importance to the education of their descendants."
Mrs. Lu San was just casually teaching parents to Jiang'an, and did not take the Hu family seriously. This is also a common problem with the scholarly family. With your wealth in the merchant family, you still look down on you. However, when Mrs. Lu San heard the word "retirement", she thought that the Hu family could use the word "retirement", which shows that she had an official position. However, Mrs. Lu San was also a scholarly family. She could not ask directly, and said, "Looking at Mr. Hu's age, the Hu family said that she would not be a colleague of my grandfather before she retired."
When He Zijin saw Mrs. Lu San inquiring about Mr. Hu's official position, he smiled and said, "I don't know this. Mr. Hu is a foreign official and was a fifth-rank prefect before retiring. After returning to his hometown, he planned the academy in our hometown. Our master used to study in the academy of Mr. Hu, and he was given guidance from him."
Mrs. Lu San laughed, "The heart of Mr. Hu in running a college is like the heart of our great master going to the school to be a teacher."
"Yes, preaching, teaching, and solving doubts are merits." When he mentioned the Hu family for the first time, He Zijin just mentioned it briefly and said no more, so as not to doubt Mrs. Lu San was suspicious.
However, with He Zijin's explanation for Mrs. Lu San, Mrs. Lu San knew that the Hu family was also from an official family, which made Mrs. Lu San a little more polite when he met the third girl in the Jiang family, and he was unwilling to treat the third girl with an attitude towards ordinary merchants. The third girl is also a good person. You must know that the Lu family has always been a woman in the family business, and Mrs. Lu San is also smart. In addition, He Zijin, the three of them were very prone to life. During this period, the third girl naturally also met the three girls of the Lu family, and from time to time they met some of the small embroidery pieces that the girls could use for, which were both exquisite and not conspicuous.
Ah Fan, or something. After getting familiar with Mrs. Lu San, the third girl had a son to marry a wife at home. The eldest girl in Mrs. Lu San's family also reached the age of hiding, so they naturally had many common topics. The third girl said, "If you want me to say that as long as the children are good, I will do it. My family is not a wealthy family, and the family population is also simple. It is just that we, husband and wife, and the three brothers. Our family dare not say that everything is better than other people's families. It's the same. I am used to small life, and in the future I will only want my son and wife to live together. For example, those concubines and husbands in a wealthy family, and I can't tolerate that if I don't have one."
Mrs. Lu San’s family has two huddles. When she heard the third girl’s words, she felt a little uncomfortable and envious. She was not a narrow-minded person. She smiled and said, “Then you will be blessed to be your wife.” She joked again, “How many people can you be as dedicated as Mr. Hu and Mr. Jiang? You are blessed.”
The third girl said, "Don't we small families live like this?"
Mrs. Lu San laughed, "Your family is still a small family, it's really not a small family to live."
"No matter where you are, you are not a small family." The third girl smiled, "No matter how big the family is and how many people are, the closest family is to the family. If the family lives well, I will be content."
Mrs. Lu San felt deeply that Miss San was a sensible person.
Such a sensible person, even the wife of the merchant family, Mrs. Lu San is willing to deal with her more. What's more, the third girl and Mrs. Lu San's business of the military rations in Hu Wen's hands are good friends, so she simply asked Mrs. Lu San to sell the production of the farm every year, except for the food and food at home, as well as the rest. Isn't it cheap?
In this way, the two families became closer.
