We were newly married for a month, and life was on track. Today I invited Lin Yunyan, Lin Yunfang and Zhu Xiang to sit and talk.
They were all acquainted with each other, and when they came to the door they only brought some daily necessities as gifts. When people sat down, the gifts were also served on the table, and it looked lively.
Zhu Xiang asked: "I heard that your mother-in-law has returned to her hometown?"
"Yes," Lin Yunjing said, "I want her to stay longer, but she is used to living in her hometown and really can't adapt to Beijing."
Yu Pu and his mother were orphans and widowers.
Coming from a poor family, raising an older son who is still in high school is very hard, but the old lady has a good temper and is in good health, and she has managed to survive all these years.
Now, the only son is an official in the capital and has married a daughter-in-law from a high family. It is said that it is time to enjoy happiness.
But the old lady is really not of a leisurely nature.
People who have been busy for most of their lives feel uncomfortable once they stop.
Moreover, the lifestyle she is accustomed to and is all from her hometown. If she wants to find someone to chat with in the capital, there are no old sisters with whom she can hang out.
Therefore, after the old lady arranged the wedding, she proposed to go back several times.
Her son and daughter-in-law kept her here again and again, letting her live in Beijing until the full moon after her marriage. Then arrangements were made for her to return to her hometown in all her glory.
The old lady now had her worries settled, and her face was glowing when she left.
"I'm worried that she's getting older and it's inconvenient to live alone," Lin Yunjing said with a smile. "My mother-in-law said that she has relatives looking after her in her hometown. She used to be a strong-willed person, and her relatives and neighbors relied on her and respected her.
, now that my son is promising again, there will be many people in the village who want to follow her path in the future, and they will support her even more and not cause her any difficulties."
This is indeed a truth.
In a small town, it's not easy for a widow to make a living. If she wasn't tough, her bones and blood would have been eaten away long ago.
To achieve today's results, the girls here, whether they are married Lin Yunyan, Lin Yunjing, or still in the boudoir Lin Yunfang, Zhu Xiang, should give a thumbs up and praise the old lady for her good skills.
And the saying "can walk sideways" is not a lie either.
Human relationships are so direct, simple, and valuable, and everyone supports them.
Yu's mother has a son who is a Beijing official and is married to a girl from a noble family. Not to mention ordinary people and neighbors, even the county magistrate has to be polite to her when he sees her.
This is also the reason why Yu Pu can safely let the old lady stay in his hometown after high school.
"She is in good health, so naturally we should follow her habits," Lin Yunjing added. "In a few years, it will be inconvenient for her to live alone, so I won't ask her to take care of her."
As Lin Yunfang listened, she couldn't help but ask how her eldest sister and her eldest brother-in-law got along on a daily basis.
Lin Yunjing was restrained on this matter, but she couldn't resist Lin Yunfang's coquettishness, so she chose to talk to her.
Zhu Xiang listened and looked around the room.
She had heard before that this house was actually Lin Yunjing's dowry.
"I can see that your family is very satisfied with this son-in-law." She whispered to Lin Yunyan and whispered.
Lin Yunyan smiled.
This is true, I am indeed satisfied from top to bottom.
Yu Pu has always been short of money.
When he first entered the Hanlin Academy, his salary allowed him to live a daily life, but Yu Pu had to be frugal and frugal, and he had to return the money from Chengyi's house as planned.
Therefore, before getting married, he shared a house with several colleagues.
When it comes to marrying a girl in Chengyi's house, my grandmother is willing to choose a girl of good character to marry, but she will never wrong her eldest sister to share the yard with others.
With the land prices in the capital at this level, it was impossible for Yu Pu to save enough money to buy a house. In the end, the two families came to a discussion and saw such a small single-family house, and the grandmother subsidized the eldest sister.
Lin Yunyan said: "We are all satisfied with my eldest brother-in-law's talent and character."
If you get married sincerely, you will not make any calculations. The purpose is to make the couple live a good life.
Lin Yunjing will not be arrogant just because her mother's family is in a position of power and has paid a lot, and Yu Pu will not flatter her just because she has just entered the official position and is strapped for money, nor will she take advantage of it and feel resentful.
Only when honest people work with honest people can life go far and go smoothly.
As for what others outside see and say, that's none of my business.
After all, each family has its own way of getting along.
Whether this marriage is a good one or not, time will tell the answer.
"It's pretty good," Zhu Xiang sighed, "It's not a big place, but it's very cozy."
She has seen with her own eyes and been angry about the illusory scenery outside of gold and jade, but inside of ruins. Now it seems that this kind of warmth is far better than the cold and dirty atmosphere of Hou Men's deep residence.
All she knew about Yu Pu came from conversations between the three sisters of the Lin family, but she knew Lin Yunjing.
Lin Yunjing is sincere and can live a good life.
Lin Yunyan heard a hint of envy from Zhu Xiang's tone, and thought of some rumors she had heard recently, and was quite curious for a moment.
After looking at the eldest sister and the third sister, Lin Yunyan leaned slightly and asked Zhu Xiang, "I heard that there is always a kind lady coming to the Yu family."
Zhu Xiang raised his eyebrows: "How come? I don't have much money here, and he wants you to be a lobbyist in a roundabout way?"
"That's not the case," Lin Yunyan said truthfully. "After we met him in the teahouse that day, I haven't seen him again, and he didn't ask the Duke to show his kindness or use lobbyists on his behalf."
This "him" refers to Yu Cheng'an, the Yao Sun of Bao'an Hou.
Zhu Xian didn't take it seriously at all during the brief encounter that day. Who knew that a few days later, a nanny would come to Yu's house.
Grandma's surname is Zhu. She has the demeanor of a servant of an honorable family. She is kind and talkative. She even brought two boxes of snacks when she arrived.
"She said she came to look for me," Zhu Chan whispered, "my aunts thought she was from your home or someone else I knew well, so they invited her in.
When I asked, I found out that he was from the Baoan Hou Mansion.
She didn't say anything embarrassing, she gave him some snacks, said a few words and left.
I didn’t want to accept it, but she didn’t respond. She ran so fast, and I was really embarrassed to chase her in the alley to give her snacks..."
Lin Yunyan listened to Zhu Xiang's description and couldn't help laughing just by imagining the scene.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the end, it is just a snack.
If you really chase each other in the alley because of this and draw the neighbors out to see you, then you are really being put on fire.
"In this way, he does have considerations in his actions," Lin Yunyan commented, "He himself and his entourage will not show up, and the grandma will come. Even if the neighbors see him, they won't think much about it."
If Yu Cheng'an or himself followed him to the front door of the Yu family, there would be a lot of rumors whether he accepted it or not.
That won't do Zhu Xian any good.
"Mommy has been here several times. This time the snacks will be rouge the next time," Zhu Xiang sighed and shook his head, "Don't hit the smiling person with your hand. He is so angry that he has no reason to shut down the door."
Lin Yunyan understood very well.
Firstly, I can't lose my face, secondly, a small official's family will not easily offend the Marquis Mansion, and thirdly, I still don't want to cause trouble and let the neighbors watch.
It was also Yu Chengan who grasped that degree.
He just wanted to show his goodwill to Zhu Xian and had no intention of making a fuss.
From the beginning to the end, the neighbors didn't know which family the nanny belonged to. Anyway, Zhu Xiang was handed a handkerchief by a noble person, and the princess drove to the house several times. It was not surprising that the nanny looked distinguished at first sight.
"If she was really talking nonsense in the alley, I could slap the door panel on her face," Zhu Xiang said, "But she greets people with a smile and doesn't say much. She only said a few words to me after entering the door."
How how...
I insisted on not collecting the things, and she was not in a hurry. Sometimes she ran away in a hurry, and sometimes she brought them back intact.
I asked her to tell Yu Chengan not to come again. She said that she was just an errand and if she had anything to say, I would talk to Yu Chengan myself."
After going back and forth like this for a month, Zhu Chan was really dumbfounded.
Not too angry, but a little annoyed, in the end I punched the cotton with my fists, making myself laugh.
Lin Yunyan laughed for a while and asked: "Then do you want to talk to him?"
"Xun, why not Xun?" Zhu Pang said, "If you don't mention this to me today, I will have to talk to you."
It was not appropriate for her to go to the appointment alone.
That's not to say that Yu Cheng'an, who was very cautious in his actions, would act outrageously, but Zhu Xiang didn't want to cause more trouble, so he wanted to ask Lin Yunyan for a favor.
If she and Yu Cheng'an can't make sense, Lin Yunyan can also come forward and say a few words.
Lin Yunyan naturally agreed after hearing what Zhu Xiang said.
When it comes to feelings, it’s about your love and my will.
She also didn't know much about Yu Cheng'an. Unless she was in a situation like that of Yu Pu and Duan Zhihuai, she would be able to vouch for the fact that this person was a good match and was reliable, so she would offer persuasion.
Otherwise, since Zhu Xiang had no intention, Lin Yunyan would definitely be towards her.
The sisters ended the game happily.
As for the appointment, Lin Yunyan took the lead and set the time and place.
The place was decided to be Fu Guo Gongfu.
Zhu Xiang was invited to look for Lin Yunyan, and Yu Chengan visited Xu Jian.
Those two people have never crossed paths before, even if they are on the same day, there is no need to worry about unnecessary disputes.
Furthermore, in your own place, you can rest assured about anything you say.
On that day, Yu Chengan came early.
Xu Jian was sitting in the flower hall, looking at the guests in a hurry, and commented: "Thank you, are you not sensitive?"
Yu Cheng Anjun blushed and said, "I was the one who said the arrogant words that day."
When it comes to bowing his head, he is not ambiguous at all.
After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, the person from the front came to report that Zhu Xiang had arrived.
Xu Jianbian said to Yu Chengan: "That is to say, I know that you behave decently, so I will make arrangements for you.
No matter what you say later, don't make any outrageous words or actions, otherwise, I will have no choice but to take you to the security guard.
As far as I know, Miss Zhu wants to refuse, and it's up to you to convince her. If you can't convince her, don't expect me and the princess to be your lobbyists."
Yu Chengan said seriously: "Don't worry, I have a sense of discretion."
While talking, Lin Yunyan accompanied Zhu Xiang over.
After the two parties met each other and saluted, Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian went to the side hall and left the main hall to them to talk.
Judging from Aunt Zhu's reply, he himself knew Zhu Xiang's attitude, but he still had a lot of things to say to her.
Not to mention that it can completely change Zhu Xiang's mind, at least give yourself a chance.
However, Zhu Xiang came even more prepared: "Master Yu, listen to me first."
With such an opening, how could Yu Chengan be unreasonable?
Zhu Xiang looked directly at him and spoke straightforwardly and calmly.
"I am very grateful for your kindness. Your pursuit troubled me a little, but it did not cause any trouble to me or my family."
"From this point of view, I can see that you have some considerations."
"The things you sent are untouched except for the snacks that cannot be stored for a long time. I hope you can let Aunt Zhu take them back later."
"Now I am just the cousin of a small official family, but I used to be a girl from the Duke's palace who was well-dressed and well-fed, and I saw all the good things. These things you use to please the little girl are of no use to me."
Yu Chengan was stunned for a moment and wanted to defend himself a few words, but he was not a person who would interrupt the other person's speech, so he could only remember for the time being and listen to Zhu Xiang's words first.
Looking at his expression, Zhu Xiang guessed what he wanted to say.
Those "useless" things were not necessarily because Yu Chengan was stingy, but because they were really giving out valuable things. She became more and more reluctant to accept them, and she also felt oppressed by throwing money at people.
That is to say, these trivial things were given to Yu Chengan casually, and Zhu Xiang did not take them seriously.
As she said, there are too many good things that I have seen used before.
From this point of view, Yu Chengan has really thought about it a lot.
Zhu Xiang continued.
"I know that today is different from the past. I also know that I will get married and will not be a cousin for the rest of my life. I also don't have that much money for my grandfather's family to support me."
"In terms of marriage, I envy the princess and her eldest sister. Marrying a down-to-earth scholar from outside the country will lead to a simpler life."
"Master Yu, you have your strengths, but I also have my fears."
"You know how my mother died, and you also know what kind of person my father is. I'm afraid of being an idle playboy in my life."
To be fair, this is the most important thing Zhu Xiang can say right now.
But it happened to hit Yu Chengan's heart like this, making all the words and thoughts he had prepared, whether it was love at first sight, appreciation and respect, all become indifferent and vague.
The tragedy of both parents' death is before us, and any sworn analysis and confession is powerless.
Whenever he said a few words in a shameless manner, it would hurt Zhu Xian.
He could only bow to Zhu Xian speechlessly.
Seeing that he understood what she meant and didn't bother him, Zhu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, then turned and walked out of the main hall to find Lin Yunyan.
Yu Chengan stood there, watching her leave, feeling dejected and lost.
Xu Jian walked back slowly. Seeing his absent-minded look, Xu Jian raised her hand and patted his shoulder.
"Give up?" he asked.
Yu Chengan smiled bitterly: "What else?"
He didn't want to give up, but he didn't want to make Zhu Xiang feel irritated and disgusted, let alone cause trouble for her.
"For the sake of that cricket," Xu Jian laughed, "I'll show you the way."
Yu Chengan humbly asked for advice.
"Return to the right path," Xu Jian said, "What's the point of being an idle playboy?"
Yu Chengan was delighted when he heard this: "My grandfather must have endless things to say to you."
Xu Jian added: "Maybe the security guard will appreciate Miss Zhu very much."
When Yu Chengan heard this, he smiled again.
After smiling, he felt much more relaxed. He thanked Xu Jian again, and said: "Thank you to the princess for me. I won't get in touch with them when they are talking to little sisters."
