Downstairs, they are still discussing the marriage of the three brothers.
"As the saying goes, marrying the wrong wife will ruin three generations." Aunt Zhou said with a smile: "Your uncle and aunt are not that discerning, so you can help some of your brothers."
"I think it's good to have a few girls in our village, but I don't know if the brothers like them or not." Shen Yuyu said while looking at the brothers with a smile.
They are all about the same height, about 1.75 meters. They have not been exposed to the sun these days and their food has improved. They have become whiter and fatter, and their appearance is considered handsome.
"It's a good person from the same village. I know everything about it. Please tell me who it is?" Aunt Zhou said anxiously. There are four old singles in the family. Can she not be anxious?
Shen Yuyu looked at Shen Yongping happily: "Brother Shen, what do you think of the village chief's youngest daughter, Shen Caixuan?"
Shen Yongping's face turned red and he murmured, "How can I not be worthy of her? She can be considered a talented woman if she can write.'
"How come you're not worthy of each other? You're a good cook and you're a good cook." Shen Yuyu answered smoothly, "If you like her, we'll come and propose marriage.'
"Hey~!" Shen Yongping responded honestly with a red face.
He turned around and asked Brother Shen which girl in the village was the best. Brother Shen scratched his forehead and said that Shen Hui, the granddaughter of the fifth uncle's family, was very good. Hey, she has good taste. We all wanted to go to the same place.
Before Third Brother Shen asked him, he chuckled and said, "If I, Shen Yongkang, can marry Shen Jiao as my wife, then my life will be worth it." Shen Yonglu waved his hand, "I'm still young, I'm still young, wait three I will consider this matter after my brother gets married."
That's how things were settled.
The next day Ji Feng Xiu Mu, Shen Yue and Ji Xun took him around the county for a day. They had dinner at a restaurant in the evening and sent Ji Feng back to the academy without taking a carriage. The family walked to the academy quickly while talking and laughing. .
Shen Yuyu handed the baggage to Ji Feng and pinched his little nose, "Ah Feng, please be obedient in the academy. My brother and sister-in-law will miss you."
Ji Feng looked up at Baozi's little face and smiled brightly, "Yeah, yeah, I will miss my brother and sister-in-law too." After saying that, he waved to Ji Xun and Shen Yuyu, and ran into the academy with a few classmates.
When we went back, the sun was setting, and there was a unique scene with the setting sun on the lotuses. Ji Xun took Shen Yuyu's hand and sat in a pavilion by the lotus pond.
After chatting for a while, Ji Xun suddenly asked: "I remember Yu Yu mentioned that Uncle Bai's hometown is in Baijia Village, Yanggu County?"
"Yeah." Shen Yuyu nodded, frowning and said strangely, "It's been so long since Qingming Festival, why hasn't uncle come to the county yet? Could something have happened?"
"Since Yu Yu is so worried about him, why don't we take some time to go to Baijia Village and take a look?" Ji Xun suggested.
"Okay." Shen Yue nodded, "Ah Xun is more thoughtful."
That night, Shen Yue and Ji Xun were sitting in the reception room on the second floor drinking tea. Shen Yue couldn't help but look at Jinfeng Tower.
Jinfenglou's business was booming, so Bai Yixue escaped and no one was found, so she left it alone.
Most of the other girls in the building have been subdued, wearing heavy makeup and leaning at the door to solicit customers. I heard that the girls inside are all noble ladies from the Qi Dynasty, and men flock to them, and all of them have endless customers.
There are many merchants from all walks of life in Wantian County, and the brothel business is said to be even more popular than in Lingzhou City. People from the Western Regions and Daqi almost all settle in Wantian County.
"I don't know if her face is healed or if she arrived in Daqi safely." Shen Yuyu muttered quietly. The night when Bai Yixue raised the dagger and resolutely slashed her cheek, Shen Yuyu was deeply impressed by it. In my mind, I can't get rid of it, I hope she is okay.
After staying one night at Fengming Restaurant, we were ready to leave back to Shenjia Village after dawn.
Aunt Zhou and Uncle Shen prepared generous gifts early in the morning and went back to Shenjiacun to propose marriage to their three sons.
It was still early when we returned to Shenjiacun, and the bright sun was shining brightly. Wouldn't it be a good time to propose marriage?
After the carriage entered the village, it stopped in front of Mrs. Zhou's house. Shen Yue helped unload the things and asked Ji Xun to drive the carriage back first.
She had to go with him to propose marriage. After all, it was well known that the matchmakers came to her house to ask for advice a few days ago. If she didn't go, wouldn't it mean that she didn't agree?
Unexpectedly, the marriage proposal went surprisingly smoothly. All three families came down, which made Aunt Zhou very happy. That night, she set up several tables at home and gathered several families for a lively meal.
The few families in the village who came to propose marriage were infuriated, especially Yufen, who cursed Shen Yuyu fiercely. If she hadn't been afraid of going to jail, she would have dragged out the body of Shen Yuyu's mother and fed it to the dogs.
After the marriage was settled, Aunt Zhou and Uncle Shen returned to the county on the same day and just chose a day to arrange the engagement.
The next day, I agreed with Ji Xun to go to Baijia Village to visit Uncle Bai, but Uncle Shen hurried over early in the morning.
"Axun, Girl Shen, the wine is out. You guys go over and have a taste."
"Has it been successful?" Shen Yue asked.
Erbo Shen smiled and said: "Everyone tasted it and said it was good. It should be a success."
Ji Xunbian and Shen Yuyu followed Uncle Shen. As soon as they walked under the big locust tree, they smelled the rich aroma of wine, which was intoxicating.
When they arrived at Shaiguping, the clan leader and several elders stopped playing chess. They each had two plates of peanuts and a bowl of wine, and their faces were red from drinking.
Seeing Shen Yuyu coming over, the second uncle held up the wine bowl and exclaimed in surprise, "Good wine, good wine! This is the first time in your life that you, the second uncle, have drank such a mellow and sweet wine. It's like a worldly experience." Excellent. ”
The clan leader and other elders didn’t know much about wine. They just thought it was fragrant and delicious, so they gave it a thumbs up.
Shen Yuehu and Ji Xun quickly arrived at the second uncle's house, where the wine was already on the jar.
"This is authentic rice wine. I didn't expect that the brewed effect would be as good as ever." Uncle Shen was full of surprise, and then brought the bowl for Shen Yue and Ji Xun to taste.
Ji Xun took a sip and nodded silently. It was sweet in the mouth and lingering in the mouth, with a rich aroma and a long tail. He had never tasted such a fine wine in the palace.
Even a person like Shen Yuyu, who doesn't drink much, thinks this wine is delicious. Although he can't say how to drink it, it tastes good and makes people want to praise it from the bottom of their hearts!
Uncle Shen and Uncle Shen also did not expect that the quality of this wine was so good. It was also brewed according to the usual method. It must be the koji and water provided by Shen Yatou. These two things led to the brewing of such an excellent wine.
"Uncle and uncle, I'll make this wine for you." Shen Yuyu took a few sips of the wine, her cheeks a little red.
Ji Xun supported her and said to Uncle Shen and his second uncle: "Uncle and second uncle, I will leave the brewing business to you. I will not treat you badly in terms of price."
Uncle Shen said hurriedly, "How can I ask for the money? We are happy to be able to make such good wine."
But Ji Xun still negotiated the price with them. Each jar of wine brewed was three taels of silver. There were four jars of wine there at the moment, which was twelve taels of silver. The expenses would go to Fengming Restaurant. This was something he didn't even think about. Incredibly high price.
After discussing these matters, Ji Xun went home with a jar of wine, hitched up the carriage, and took Shen Yuyu to Baijia Village to visit shopkeeper Yang.
It takes more than an hour's drive from Dahe Town to Baijia Village. It is not far from Dahe Town, but it falls within the boundaries of Yanggu County next door.
After the carriage arrived at Dahe Town, Shen Yuyu got off the car and bought some gifts. He found that Baohe Hall was closed and locked, and a sale notice was posted outside. The address on it was Fengming Restaurant.
Shen Yuyu's heart skipped a beat, what happened to Uncle Bai?
