Most of the hairpins and other objects on the temples, which were heavy and heavy, were removed.
After Xiuyun sat down, Xingrui asked someone to bring food and set up a full Kang table...
"Girl, oh, Second Grandma, I took candies, silver dimes and copper coins and went out for a walk, but I also found out a lot of things." The eldest girl Xingjiao came back and reported the information she had obtained with a smile.
, "The girls and servants in our Xianchang Courtyard are all brought here from Jialanyan Hutong, and none of them are born in the Duke's Mansion."
"Besides, before our husband got married, he didn't even live in this courtyard for a day."
Apart from this, there is no other woman."
Xiuyun's eyes flashed slightly, this news really surprised her.
Not to mention anyone else, even Xiuyun's brother An Lin. Before his wedding, he had five girls with whom he had intercourse.
Unexpectedly, Yuzhu only has one roommate next to him. According to the standards of this era, he is really extremely clean and self-sufficient.
Xiuyun glanced at Xingrui, who understood and asked Xingjiao: "Are there any rumors about a bastard?"
No matter how many concubines or concubines there are, it is nothing to worry about.
What is really worth worrying about is whether Yuzhu has an eldest son?
If there is a concubine’s eldest son, it will be really troublesome!
Xingjiao said seriously: "Second Grandma, this servant is worried about this problem. I asked more than a dozen people one after another, even the cook who guarded the small kitchen, and the servant gave me half a tael of silver. I found out clearly that our uncle has no concubine.
."
Xiuyun was extremely satisfied. He had a married woman but no concubine. Yuzhu was obviously a very organized man.
To put it bluntly, if Yuzhu had a concubine before the wedding, it would be a great disrespect for Xiuyun. Moreover, when the concubine's eldest son is several years older than his legitimate son, it is almost inevitable to have housework. p>
Housework, in essence, threatens the fundamental interests of the legitimate wife and legitimate son.
To be honest, if Yuzhu already had a concubine's eldest son, Xiuyun would never be able to get along with him heart-to-heart again.
Now, since the man respects her rights and dignity as a married woman, Xiuyun couldn't help but let out a long sigh, let's exchange heart for heart.
"Second Grandma, I also found out that our uncle's best friend is Sun Efu. Apart from that, I haven't heard of anyone else who is particularly close to me."
It’s really amazing that I got so much useful information in this courtyard.
"Where's the mansion over there?" Xingrui asked Xiuyun about something important that was inconvenient to ask.
Xingjiao deliberately lowered her tone and whispered: "It is said that Mrs. Li is very proud and difficult to talk to. The most powerful people around Mrs. Li are two people, one is called Grandma Liu and the other is named Hongmei..."
Not to mention Xiuyun's investigation, Yuzhu was stopped by everyone just after he showed up at the banquet.
Drink the wine one by one, and the light drinkers will fall down one by one.
Yuzhu, on the other hand, is like a man who has nothing to do. He doesn't refuse anyone who comes, and the wine is poured down without any ambiguity.
At the wine table, the more you dare not drink and appear cowardly, the more people will try their best to convince you.
On the contrary, if you drink a large bowl of wine in one gulp, few people will dare to mess with you.
After the soul piercing, Yuzhu was surprised to find that he was actually immune to alcohol. No matter how much wine he drank, he was as stress-free as drinking cold water.
Sun Chengyun, who had been following Yuzhu, ready to stop him from drinking at any time, was completely dumbfounded.
After drinking and sitting down at the table, no one dared to provoke Yuzhu anymore. Everyone was also very polite. They raised their glasses, clinked their glasses, drank to the full, and that was it.
When Yuzhu returned to the bridal chamber, Hanshuang was actually in the room.
Yuzhu knew at a glance that he was probably from the Fucha family. Wanting to know his living habits, he specially asked Hanshuang to question him.
Xianchang Courtyard belongs to Yuzhu's courtyard. The people around Yuzhu who are used to it are all brought here from Long Mansion.
It is human nature for a wife to want to know about a man’s living habits.
Under the bright lights, Xiuyun, who has taken off her makeup, looks more like a fairy.
"Sir, the hangover soup is ready." Seeing the man coming back, Xiuyun hurriedly got up from the kang, squatted down and saluted, and gave a gentle reminder.
"There's no need for sobering up soup." Yuzhu didn't drink too much at all, but his stomach was a little bloated.
"Have your grandma ever eaten?" After Yuzhu sat down, he looked at the delicate and beautiful apricot pistils.
Xingrui hurriedly knelt down and reported: "Come back to me, our grandma used a small bowl of rice dumplings and some appetizing side dishes."
Well, Yuzhu nodded. The Fucha family did not stick to the bad rules of newlyweds and took the initiative to fill their stomachs. This is satisfactory.
The relationship between husband and wife definitely needs to be adjusted.
Unlike Xiuyun, Yuzhu has long been a greasy uncle. Not to mention marrying a wife, he already has one child each.
Yuzhu asked Xingrui again: "You must know exactly what dishes your grandma likes to eat and what snacks she uses, right?"
"Master Hui, our grandma likes spicy food and doesn't like sweets. The cook who came to marry us all knows this." Xingrui didn't say much, but she got to the point.
Yuzhu nodded and said: "For the servants and girls who followed me, if Hanshuang and Lin Yaner make mistakes, they should be punished. They just have to use family methods to make a difference. It's better to wait until I come back."
, okay?"
After hearing Yuzhu's words, Xiuyun was not only not angry, but also felt relieved.
If a man lets Xiuyun handle his servants as he pleases, Xiuyun will inevitably have to think about it for a long time, and there is quite a worry that he will throw a stick at the mercy of a rat.
Now, Yuzhu has publicly assigned Xiuyun a jurisdiction. The meaning is very clear. Except for Hanshuang and Lin Yaner, Xiuyun can do whatever he wants with the servants in the courtyard.
If the mistress of the house has no power, how can she command the unruly slaves in the house?
"Hanshuang, bring the brocade box you are in charge of tomorrow and hand it over to your grandma." Yuzhu's private money has been divided into two, half of which will be given to Xiuyun, and the other half will be given to Xiao
Cao Jiashi kept it.
Yuzhu already has rich experience in thinking about his wife.
Women, because they naturally do not have a sense of security, must first take care of money, then take care of the house. Finally, and most importantly, they must give birth to a legitimate child as early as possible.
Many conflicts between men and women are caused by poor communication.
Yuzhu felt that since Xiuyun was a smart woman, it would be better to hand over the money and give Xiuyun the power to manage people before going to bed.
When brothers settle accounts openly, husband and wife must also talk about all the ugly things up front, so that there will be a lot less trouble later.
Many couples live in confusion, and as a result, they make a big fuss because the woman secretly uses money to subsidize her parents' family.
Why bother?
Yuzhu is a person who wants to do big things, how can he worry about trivial things in the back house all day long?
Xiuyun's beautiful eyes frequently flashed with light. She never expected in her dreams that the man could be so transparent, explaining all the housework before he formally took possession of her body.
Master, since you respect me so much, I am willing to take a gamble and exchange my heart for my heart, so Xiuyun thought.
"We will stay in this courtyard for three days, and then we will go back to Jialanyan Hutong. Well, the servants and managers there are all old people who are used to it." Yuzhu looked at Xiuyun,
He smiled and said, "You and I are already husband and wife. If you have anything unclear, just ask me directly. There is no need for others to pass on the message."
This is based on experience.
Mutual suspicion between husband and wife often starts from trivial matters.
When Yuzhu ordered Xiuyun like this, he was taking precautions to nip the disaster in the bud.
Madam, if you don’t understand, just ask. Don’t let yourself get maggots in your heart, okay?
At home, obey your father, and when you get married, obey your husband.
Xiuyun smiled and knelt down to salute, and said obediently: "I will obey my instructions carefully. If I have anything I don't understand, I will come and ask you."
Yuzhu nodded with satisfaction, took a sip of tea and said, "Come here, take care of the bathing and settling down."
Xiuyun, who was originally calm, couldn't help but become flustered when she heard the word resettlement.
The clean room of a wealthy family is a place for washing and bathing. It is steaming inside.
Yuzhu and Xiuyun, separated by a door, soaked in the big bathtub respectively, and were bathed and massaged by the maids.
By the time Yuzhu came out of the clean room, Xiuyun had already hid under the quilt.
Hey, this is my first time, so I must be shy.
The etiquette of this era was extremely harsh on women.
Even when sleeping at night, women must sleep outside so that they can better serve men.
Yuzhu is an old man. Faced with Xiuyun who has shrunk like a turtle, he should not use too many methods and tricks.
That night, Yuzhu completely had a fairy-like wife, who was so beautiful that she was bubbling with beauty.
However, Yuzhu never expected that when Xiuyun hid in the clean room and did not dare to come out, Xingrui actually climbed onto the bed.
It's also strange that Yuzhu was careless. However, the deal is already done and it's too late.
Yuzhu is definitely not a prude who is content with his pregnancy. He just has a higher level of vision and doesn't want to touch ordinary women.
According to the wedding customs of wealthy bannermen families, the eldest dowry girls next to the mistress are all Yuzhu's first-in-law girls in terms of status.
To put it bluntly, Yuzhu can legitimately enjoy Xingrui and Xingjiao without causing Xiuyun's dissatisfaction.
In "A Dream of Red Mansions", after Wang Xifeng married Jia Lian, the dowry Ping'er became Jia Lian's. However, Wang Xifeng watched closely and did not allow Jia Lian to touch Ping'er easily.
Xingrui's beauty is only slightly inferior to Xiuyun. Yuzhu has nothing to be polite about, he is thoroughly enjoying himself.
The only fly in the ointment was that Xingrui managed to break away from Yuzhu's arms, climbed out of the big bed, and slept on the small couch on the night watch.
Because, during the wedding yesterday, the palace issued a decree.
This morning, both Yuzhu and Xiuyun must hand over signs to the palace to express their gratitude.
(PS: Normally I can only keep two updates, but during the Chinese New Year, I still insist on two updates, and even update a lot. I only sleep three hours a day, so it’s time to enjoy the monthly ticket.)
