After going out for shopping once, Chen Yun had no intention of going out again. In fact, staying at home was quite good. The Marquis Mansion was not too small, so she could go shopping.
After Chen Xun returned home, she rested for a long time and began her career of learning etiquette and rules from Aunt Yun and Aunt Song.
Of course she still has to practice calligraphy. Even if she can read, her handwriting is really ugly and she still needs to practice more.
"Is Third Sister busy?"
When Chen Xun was practicing the salute with Grandma Yun, Chen Xun's biological sister-in-law, Yan, came to look for her.
"Sister-in-law?" Chen Yun turned around and looked at Yan Shuang. Yan Shuang, who was two years older than her, walked in with a woman's hair in a bun and a smile on her face.
Chen Chun's biological sister-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law of their third wife, Yan Shuang, was from a branch of the Yan family in Tianfu, but she was a very good person, with a gentle and virtuous personality, and a well-educated and sensible person.
"Third sister." Yan Shuang greeted with a smile, "I have disturbed third sister. My sister-in-law came here today to ask how long it will take for third sister to return to the mansion. Is she still used to it?"
"Also, the government is planning to make new clothes for the whole family recently. My sister-in-law wants to ask the third sister what colors and styles of clothes she likes." Yan Shuang said.
"Sister-in-law, please sit down." Chen Yu asked Yan Shuang to sit down. After taking leave from Grandma Yun, she also sat down and greeted her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, thank you for your concern. My sister just went to Nichang Pavilion yesterday to buy a few sets of clothes. They were made in Fuzhong.
Are the new clothes still considered my sister's share?" Chen Yu asked while pouring tea for her sister-in-law.
"The clothes that my sister bought at the Nishang Pavilion belong to her, but the new clothes made every season in the mansion also need to be taken into account. It doesn't matter if there are more clothes from the girl's family," Yan Shuang said.
There are clothes from some powerful families that are only worn once or twice and then never worn again. That is luxury. The Pingyang Marquis Mansion is frugal. Even if they make new clothes every season, each piece of clothes will be worn many times, so they cannot be worn casually.
Discarded.
After all, the clothes can still be worn, and Pingyang Marquis Mansion will not let the family waste so much, throwing away good clothes without wearing them.
After hearing what her sister-in-law said, Chen Xun happily said, "How many sets of clothes can my sister make this season?"
Yan Shuang smiled and replied, "The girls in the mansion have five sets of clothes for each season. Don't worry, you will not be missing."
Chen Yu nodded, "Five sets of clothes are not bad."
Chen Xun and Yan Shuang chatted about the fabrics and colors of clothes, as well as the embroidery on clothes, etc. The two sisters had a great time chatting.
Yan Shuang is a really nice sister-in-law. She used to be close to Chen Ruowei when she was her husband's biological sister, but now she doesn't turn against her just because she is an adopted sister.
She is not very fond of Chen Yu, her real sister, but her attitude is very comfortable. She is a girl who has a degree of progress and retreat and a very good emotional intelligence.
Chen Xun looked at his sister-in-law. At the age of eighteen, she had just graduated from high school in the 21st century, but she was already the mother of several children in the Great Yong Dynasty.
Yan Shuang married Chen Xun's eldest brother, Chen Xuan, when she was fifteen years old. She became pregnant six months after marrying Chen Xuan, and later gave birth to twin sons.
In fact, twins were also taboo in ancient times, especially if the twins in aristocratic families were identical, the other would be eliminated. This was because they were worried that among two identical twins, one would replace the identity of the other, and others would not know it yet.
That is to say, the Pingyang Marquis Mansion does not care about this. After all, Chen Wendong is the third son of Pingyang Marquis and has no possibility of inheriting the title. Although Chen Hai is the eldest son of the third wife, there is also no possibility of inheriting the title.
So what impact does twins have?
The most important thing is that the twins, who are now over one year old, can see that they are only about 50 or 60% similar.
Therefore, Chen Xun's twin nephews are fraternal twins and are not exactly the same.
Chen Yu and Yan Shuang chatted for a long time, and then turned the topic to their twin nephews, "Sister-in-law, where are Ah Yao and A Ji? As an aunt, I have never seen them several times."
"Next time my sister-in-law comes to see my sister, why don't she bring Ah Yao and the others over to show me?" Chen Yu said with a smile.
She doesn't really like children, but she still likes to tease the cute little ones. It is impossible for her to take care of the children by herself, but she can tease the children until they are made to cry by her.
Leave the children to their parents.
After hearing what her sister-in-law said, Yan Shuang smiled and said, "They? They were sleeping just now. When they wake up, my sister-in-law will ask someone to bring them over to play with you."
"It doesn't have to be like this. They will come over when they have time. In fact, I don't have much free time." Chen Yu said sheepishly. After all, she still needs to study and doesn't have much time to play with her nephew.
"Well, sister-in-law will take care not to let them disturb you, sister," Yan Shuang said.
Yan Shuang chatted with Chen Yu for a while, but she had other things to do, so she quickly said goodbye and left.
Chen Xun looked at her sister-in-law's back and tilted her head. Her sister-in-law was beautiful and gentle, and she was soft on the outside but strong on the inside. She was really a very good and outstanding person.
She remembered that her biological eldest brother Chen Xuan was also very satisfied with this wife and respected and loved her very much. But Chen Yu also knew very well that her eldest brother did not just guard this woman.
Even though the young people of her eldest brother's generation don't have concubine children in their backyards, they actually have married couples.
Of course, things like concubines and aunts still need to wait until they give birth to children. Now they are just married and have no status.
Chen Xun didn't quite understand the thoughts of these people. She remembered that people in the mansion said that so-and-so was a loving couple, and the relationship between the couple was so good, but it did not delay the husband from having a concubine.
It's as if a man only has a concubine with whom he has no official title, or he doesn't let his concubine have children and only his wife has children. It's like how much he loves his wife.
"What's wrong, girl?" Grandma Yun asked suspiciously when she saw that Chen Yun's expression was not right.
"Mom, my brother likes my sister-in-law very much, right?" Chen Yun looked at Aunt Yun and asked.
Aunt Yun was stunned. Although she didn't know why she asked this, she still replied, "The Third Young Master really likes the Third Young Mistress very much."
Chen Xun frowned slightly, "Really? But even so, my brother still has several bedrooms in his backyard."
There are indeed several married couples in Chen Hao's backyard. Two of them were given by Zhao Xuexin to his son before they got married, and the others were settled by the couple after Yan Shuang came in.
For example, among Chen Hai's wives, two were recommended to Chen Hai by Yan Shuang when she was pregnant, and they were Yan Shuang's maids.
Chen Yu really didn't understand. Even if she had no feelings for her husband, she would not give him a woman with her own hands.
"Mommy, can I not bring a maid as a dowry?" Chen Yu frowned and said, "It's just a young and beautiful dowry. I don't want to bring one."
She didn't care whether Prince Ning wanted to take a concubine or not. Anyway, she didn't intend to have a love affair with him that would only involve two people, but she didn't allow his concubine to come from her side.
In fact, it was good for Prince Ning to take a concubine and give birth to a child before he died. Anyway, she was only sixteen years old and would not give birth to a child so early.
Prince Ning wanted to leave his bloodline before his death, so it was not impossible to take concubines and have children. Anyway, they were all born from concubines, and he would not be able to share much property in the future!
Well, she is the one who inherits the most inheritance.
