Lin Zhixiu took Mrs. Liu and Liu Jing to Chaoyunju.
Lin Zhixiu and Aunt Liu pointed out the scenery at home, watching the mother and daughter walking around, talking and laughing, and felt quite proud.
Three years ago, Lin Zhixiu had just sorted out the family affairs and everything was on the right track. Aunt Liu fell ill. Lin Zhixiu went to visit her, and suddenly remembered that Aunt Liu in the previous life had not long passed away.
No more...
She recalled carefully for a long time, and finally remembered that Mrs. Liu's death was related to Liu Qing, the eldest daughter of Liu family.
Liu Qing married a man named Xu Yang, who was also a talented young man. After getting married, Xu Yang passed the imperial examination and she became pregnant, which was a double blessing.
After Xu Yang passed the examination, he was very happy. He drank with friends and classmates to celebrate, and drank too much.
There was a classmate who studied with him since he was a child. That person's grades were always better than Xu Yang's. However, his luck in exams was very bad.
Didn’t even pass the exam!
Seeing Xu Yang's success, the man turned from envy to jealousy and finally to hatred. When Xu Yang drank too much, he took him back to his home.
The next day, word came out that he entertained Xu Yang with good intentions, but Xu Yang took the opportunity to taint his sister.
That man was so cruel that he went directly to file a complaint. Xu Yang really drank too much, couldn't remember anything, couldn't explain anything, and was deprived of his honors.
Liu Qing was impulsive and believed that her husband's misbehavior had ruined his future and reputation, so he got angry and quarreled with him.
Xu Yang was so arrogant that he could bear to fall directly from the sky into a ditch. He left a suicide note and threw himself into the river to prove his innocence with his death.
In shock and grief, Liu Jing lost her fetus and almost died.
After Mrs. Liu learned the news, she and her husband traveled more than 200 miles to visit their daughter. When they arrived, she was angry, anxious and sad. She managed to finish arranging things, but on the way back, Mrs. Liu collapsed. Her body was weak.
It doesn't work. I'm tired, anxious, depressed, and have a high fever for two days, and I'm dead when I get home.
Since Lin Zhixiu knew the general outline of the matter, how could he still let it happen?
As a result, Liu Qing's husband was elected and was taught not to drink indiscriminately and not to trust friends indiscriminately. Liu Qing's temper became calmer and she gave birth to her eldest daughter safely.
Mrs. Liu has no longer suffered that ordeal. Although she is still not in good health, she has survived a lot of minor ailments and no major illnesses. She came to the capital with her husband's promotion... This is all her own credit!
Mrs. Liu asked with concern, "How is it?"
Lin Zhixiu smiled, "Everything is fine now. Don't worry."
Mrs. Liu said, "My place has not been completely sorted out yet. When it is done, I will take you to stay for a few days."
"Okay, don't be too tired. If you have anything to do, just ask Sister Jing and let her do it!"
"Humph, her?! I can't help you with anything. I just talk about it when you do something. It just adds to the chaos!" Mrs. Liu complained.
Liu Jing pouted and followed them. When she heard someone criticizing her, she said unhappily, "Mom, I can hear you!"
Madam Liu and Lin Zhixiu both laughed.
Lin Zhixiu said, "Auntie, you don't know this! As the saying goes, stupid people are lucky. We, Sister Jing, will live in a life where we can stretch out our hands with clothes and open our mouths with food."
Liu Jing said, "You are stupid..." She also laughed.
When they arrived at Chaoyunju, Mrs. Liu was a little surprised, "This yard is nice!"
Lin Zhixiu raised her chin proudly: "It's not bad! You don't know, I prepared a small shabby courtyard first, but I can't live in it! I have been trained by my aunt for many years, and I still suffer a loss when I return to my own home. You must not scold me.
!”
Aunt Liu smiled and said, "You!"
Liu Jing rolled her eyes, "What's so beautiful about it?"
Mrs. Liu looked around several rooms and nodded.
Lin Zhixiu quickly helped her lie down on the imperial concubine, while Dongyun took a thin blanket and put it on her.
After sitting and talking for a while, Lin Zhixiu said seriously, "Auntie, Zhixiu really has something to do, and I would like to ask for your help."
"What's up?"
"My uncle's business."
"Hey, I just forgot to ask, is he here today?"
"I didn't come today. My uncle had something important to do and didn't come back in time. Speaking of which, Prince Qing valued my uncle very much, so his official duties went smoothly. Now, he is qualified for the fifth-grade official position. My uncle bought a yard in Jinyu Alley.
, and made a lot of money.”
Mrs. Liu nodded, "Well, it was obvious at that time that An Ning is a steady person."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Yes, my uncle is already twenty-one years old and hasn't gotten married yet. He is too busy all day to take care of this matter. I'm afraid that over time, what others will think. But he is a man and cannot be alone.
Zhang Luo, I don’t want the Lin family to get involved, so I want to ask you to come up with some ideas.”
Mrs. Liu nodded, "When I calm down, I will also invite some relatives and friends to come to the house. Then I will take a look and ask someone to ask. Your uncle has a good character, good conditions, and a simple family. Well, everything is good."
!If the requirements are not particularly high, it will be easy to find him. Even if he is older, it will not matter."
Liu Jing said, "Mom, isn't there a ready-made one over there? How could you not think of it?"
"What?" Mrs. Liu was stunned.
"My cousin named Baihui!"
"Ren Baihui?"
"Yeah, she's already over 20 years old! Oh my God! She's an old aunt! My niece is getting engaged, and she can't get married! Oh my God, if it were me, I would..." Liu Jing thought about it
For a long time, I didn’t know what it would be like if it were me. I just touched my tender face and sighed...
When Lin Zhixiu heard this, she couldn't get married?! Is there something wrong with that?
Mrs. Liu sighed, "Oh, that is also a poor one. Her name is Ren Baihui. She is the youngest girl in your Uncle Liu's sister-in-law's family. She was engaged at the age of fifteen and agreed to get married at the age of seventeen. As it turns out, there is still one year left to get married. The mother of the other party's family
No more. He said he had to observe filial piety, so he postponed it for two years. The man had filial piety the year before last, and Baihui was nineteen. As a result... that man, less than a year after his mother died, his father married a stepmother. I don’t know why.
Yes, back and forth, he went with his stepmother's niece. He wanted to break off the engagement, but he was from a respectable family in the capital. It was really... Oh, it's a pity that Ren Baihui, an upright and innocent daughter's family, was ruined. All of this.
Now that she is old, it is difficult to talk about marriage anymore. However, she has talked about it a lot, but it is not very decent. Most of them are to fill a house. Alas, the family is still reluctant to let her go. Alas, tell me, she has no responsibility at all.
This is the result."
"Then, are you done with the groom's family?" Lin Zhixiu asked.
"It should be settled, the men are all married. Just to be on the safe side, I'll go ask... But the Ren family's family background is not low! Ren Baihui is good-looking and smart, a perfect lady. Your uncle is good at everything.
, only in terms of background and official career, I'm afraid... there's a big difference... I don't know if the woman's family cares about it."
"As you know, my uncle, Aunt Liu, is the most sensible and gentle. It turns out that the family treats him poorly, so he attaches great importance to family affection. Over the years, he has been so kind to me and my brother. He is capable, and the family is quiet.
The money is not lost. In a few days, we will have to do a lot of business. If it succeeds, his wife and children will wear gold and silver and be rich and popular for the rest of their lives!"
Lin Zhixiu was so exaggerated that he was bragging.
Liu Jing was glaring at her again.
Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "There is nothing in terms of money, and her dowry is quite large. I also grew up watching your uncle, so I can rest assured about his character."
Lin Zhixiu said, "That's right! Besides, people always look forward! The prince has already said that he will make arrangements for his uncle in the next two years. It can't be wrong. The future will be bright for the next generation of children, and the starting point will be
It's different. The man who regretted the marriage has a good family background, but what kind of behavior is this? He hasn't suffered enough?! If it succeeds, Ren's family's troubles will be solved, otherwise his niece will have to marry
Oh, how ugly she is." She also knew that her uncle had no family background and had not taken the scientific examination. He would be more concerned about being a fastidious person.
Liu Jing said angrily, "You can really talk nonsense!!"
Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Your sister Xiu'er is right!"
Just as he was talking, Aunt Wang came from beside the old lady outside, "Third Miss, your uncle has sent someone to deliver gifts. The old lady said that the banquet ahead has been held, and Mrs. Liu and Miss Liu are invited to go!"
Mrs. Liu said, "Then let's go ahead. Seeing where you live makes me feel at ease. You have to be careful about everything at your daughter's house. I will also pay attention to your marriage in the future."
"You'd better show it to our little Jing'er first..." Lin Zhixiu poked Liu Jing and smiled.
Liu Jing glared at Lin Zhixiu and said, "You are older than me, so hold on tight to you first!" She was not ashamed at all.
Mrs. Liu shook her head, her eldest daughter was much better, but this younger daughter had no effect at all!
In the back hall, when a group of people came to the front, people from the uncle's house had already brought in the birthday gifts. There were a lot of them, and every one of them was a good item!
Many people are asking...
As a result, someone got the news: "They say he is an official who follows Prince Qing. He is very respected and his money is not lost! He has built a big house in Jinyu Alley!"
"Which one is in Jinyu Hutong?"
"It's said to be from the Xiong family."
"Oh, that house is very particular."
Things are going to unfold slowly like this, right? Lin Zhixiu faintly heard everyone talking and smiled confidently...
