"But Sister Ling is just a few years younger than Sister Xin. She will be engaged in less than two years. Once Brother Hong gets married, it will be Sister Ling..." Li Wenchong said, "Actually, if you think about it,
It will only take a few years. If you want Sister Ling to marry in Beijing, you have to make plans early."
For a moment, Gu Qingling hesitated.
Sister Xin married into Beijing because Uncle Yao became a Beijing official. She is the eldest daughter of the Yao family. For the sake of the overall situation, Sister Xin must marry into Beijing.
Otherwise, there will be some trouble when the younger brother and younger sister get married.
Especially for Sister Ling, it is not easy to get married to Sister Xin.
but……
Sister Xin has found a suitable husband-in-law in Beijing, will Sister Ling also marry into Beijing?
The rules in Jingli are much greater than those in Jinling.
Sister Xin can adapt because when the Yao family moved to Jinling, she was already old and sensible. Even if she was affected by Jinling, she could adjust when she returned to the capital. But Sister Ling is different.
She has been a clever girl since she was a child, and she grew up in Jinling. In the future, she will marry into Beijing, will she really be able to adapt?
But if Sister Ling is married to Jinling...
The second wife is in Jinling, which seems to be no problem, but Brother Houhong wants to be an official in Beijing, and his two younger brothers are still young, so...
For a long time in the future, Erfang is afraid that he will only have such a single Miaomiao staying in Beijing.
"Besides, I haven't thought about it yet. We'll see what happens when the time comes."
Gu Qingling thought for a while and decided to decide when the time comes.
Although the overall situation of the Yao family is important, it is a matter of life for Sister Ling, and her personal interests must also be considered.
…
Huo Botao got up early and took Yao Anxin to serve tea to Mrs. Huo, Uncle Huo and Mrs. Huo, and got to know everyone in the Huo family.
Like the Yao family's three-bedroom family, the Huo family is also a big family, with many uncles, cousins, and sisters-in-law. There are also concubines and concubines in each house, almost three times as many as the Yao family.
Fortunately, Huo Botao had given her a list before, and she had done her homework early. Now she just came to the right person. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for so many people to want to memorize them all at once.
Mrs. Huo, Mrs. Huo smiled when she saw Yao Anxin. When she served tea, she not only did not embarrass Yao Anxin, but also praised her a lot.
The daughters-in-law, grandchildren and the like below looked at Yao Anxin with some dissatisfaction, but on such a happy day, few of them dared to come out to find fault.
On the way back, Yao Anxin was hit by Mrs. Huo.
"snort!"
Sister-in-law Huo apologized for the insincere gift, raised her chin, and left with a group of maids and women.
Huo Boxin lagged behind, smiling and praising Huo Botao for being lucky to have a wonderful wife, unlike him who had a tigress.
"Cousin, if you take fewer concubines, my sister-in-law's temper will be better."
"Oh, you are still young and don't understand that different women have different flavors..." Huo Boxin realized that he had made a mistake and immediately stopped, "Oh, why should I tell you this in front of my brothers and sisters? You guys
Young couple, please have fun first, and when you are free later, come to me and I will take you to have fun."
She didn't care at all whether Yao Anxin would be angry or not. After saying this in a nonchalant manner, she threw up her sleeves and left.
This couple is both a headache.
Huo Botao could only explain to Yao Anxin dumbfounded that Huo Da's behavior was not directed at Yao Anxin. In fact, Huo Da's cousin had just taken a liking to a brothel girl a few days ago and insisted on bringing her into the family, which made Huo Dasao angry.
Yao Anxin was stunned: "Ah? Is that acceptable? I remember... According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that officials cannot accept brothel girls, right? Your eldest cousin, don't you plan to study?"
If she remembered it well, the information she had heard before seemed to say that Huo Botao was studying with his cousin, right?
Huo Botao pinched his nose in embarrassment and could only "confess" to Yao Anxin. Although his cousin was also a "scholar", the word "scholar" was a bit too strong.
Yao Anxin immediately understood that this cousin might not be able to study well, so...
Huo Botao reminded Yao Anxin that when he sees the hall sister-in-law in the future, he should stay away.
Because of the cousin's affairs, the cousin's wife is a little unhappy, and sometimes she may be a little "impulsive".
Yao Anxin: "..."
It seems like something is not going well for everyone.
Concubines are the source of chaos in the family. Since cousin Huo likes to have a house full of women, he has to endure cousin's wife Huo's "outraging temper".
After all, no woman wants to have so many things at home that are an eyesore to her, and in the future she will give birth to a bunch of things that will compete with her son for the family property.
During the three-day wedding leave, apart from taking Yao Anxin to meet her elders, Huo Botao didn't even go out of the yard. He stayed in the yard all day long and had a sweet time with Yao Anxin.
The young couple were like this, Mrs. Huo was so excited about Coke, and Mrs. Huo felt that it was not far from them having a grandson.
Seeing this, the maids around them also used this to congratulate the two of them.
Yao Anxin was a little helpless, and turned to Huo Botao and said: "I told you to go out for a walk, but you didn't listen. It's better now. Isn't it misunderstood?"
Originally, the two of them were just reading and talking in the yard, but the people below made it seem like they had done nothing but create humans day and night.
It's quite embarrassing for a new daughter-in-law to keep people staring at things in the room.
"We just got married. If I don't stay in the yard, where can I go? You can't let me go to the study to read, right?" Huo Botao took the book and said, "Is there any difference between me reading here and reading in the study?
?I'm reading here. It's great to be able to see you when I get tired. Besides, I rarely have three days off. If I don't take advantage of this time to relax, I will go to the Imperial College to study after I accompany you back home.
Then I won’t have time to accompany you. Don’t you want me to accompany you?”
Yao Anxin blushed and was embarrassed to deny: "I don't think you are reading."
"It doesn't look like you're reading a book. What does it look like?"
"Who knows what you're looking at?"
"You don't know?" Huo Botao smiled, with an ambiguous expression, "I don't believe it. The ancients said it well, the book comes from the golden house, and the book has its own beauty..."
"You said you were reading a book, what were you reading?"
Huo Botao handed his hand to Yao Anxin: "You got it from your book box."
"Ah?!" Yao Anxin quickly stretched her head and saw that it was actually "The Biography of the Farmer's Wife" she had brought. She quickly snatched it over, "When did you get it? This kind of book... This kind of book is
We girls are just watching and playing with you, what’s so interesting about a grown man like you? Give it back to me quickly!”
Somewhat embarrassed, how could such a book fall into his hands?
It was specially made up by Princess Chong to give them, the women in the boudoir, to pass the time, so she brought it over with her.
What she didn't expect was that Huo Botao actually put the cover of a travel book on the outside of "The Story of the Farmer's Wife" and waved it in front of her eyes for two or three days without letting her see it?!
Gosh!
You are so experienced, this shouldn’t be the first day you do this, right?!
