Chapter 324 Dragon Boat Festival (Part 1)

Chapter 324 Dragon Boat Festival

The fifth aunt was startled when she heard this, and looked at the eleventh mother in confusion: Did the eleventh aunt marry the twelfth lady?

This matter has not been revealed yet, and Eleventh Niang didn’t want Wu Yiniang to know about it and worry about it. Now Sixth Yiniang started crying, so she had to tell Wu Yiniang what happened: It looked like that house was okay, so just go with her

My sister-in-law mentioned it.

Madam, don’t you agree? Fifth Yiniang said in a deep voice after hearing this.

Looking at Sixth Yiniang's attitude, the eldest lady must have disagreed.

But before Eleven Niang could answer, Sixth Yi Niang had already said: She insisted that Miss Twelve was still young and did not agree to this marriage. As she spoke, tears fell again. Her family background was innocent and she was the eldest son.

Where can I find such a good marriage with fame and good conduct? It is said that Miss Twelve is a little young, but no one will get married as soon as they say it. It will take three or four years to complete the three letters and six rites. By then

The twelfth lady is about to get her haircut, and it’s time to get married. He added, the eldest master said, we will go back to Yuhang after the summer. Once we leave Yanjing, we want to find someone with a character and background like Mr. Wang.

It must be more difficult than climbing to heaven. She is just dissing the prince because he is a side branch and has a poor family. When Miss Twelve gets married, she will not be able to help with money and material, and she will not have any reputation. Look at us

I already knew about the marriages of several aunts at home. As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I thought that Eleventh Mother was still in front of me, so I swallowed the words with force. But I still couldn't calm down. I complained, do you want to be like the tenth aunt and just want to be good?

Reputation, whether she lives or dies

What Sixth Yiniang said was also what Eleventh Mother was worried about.

Daughters are used for marriage. The marriage that I arranged for the Twelfth Mother is naturally the best for the Twelfth Mother. But for the Luo family, there is no benefit at all. To be practical, Wang Ze

He is a side branch of the Wang family, how can he compare with Xu Lingyi, the Marquis of Yongping? In terms of reputation, Wang Ze is just a scholar who works in the Zhennan Marquis Mansion, how can he compare with Qian Ming, who is already a civil servant.

But after all, she is a daughter who has left the cabinet, and she only has the right to make suggestions, not decisions, about these matters at home.

Eleven Niang hinted to Sixth Aunt: Prince Wang also has a younger brother who was selected as a scholar at the age of twelve. Even the Marquis of Zhennan valued him very much. If Prince Wang had not been his uncle, Prince Wang would have married his aunt long ago.

She is a niece. Sixth Yiniang might as well talk to her father and elder brother about this matter. They should have their own considerations.

Is this useful? Liu Yiniang asked suspiciously, if that's the case, it would be more reliable to say that you want to have a good relationship with Mrs. Zhou, so you want to marry Miss Twelve.

Although Liu Yiniang is smart and capable, she is limited by her life experience and thinks about problems in a single way. It is also difficult to explain.

Eleven Niang said with a smile: Sixth Yi Niang, please follow my words first. If it doesn’t work, it’s not too late for me to have a good relationship with Mrs. Zhou.

The sixth aunt was still a little hesitant, and the eleventh aunt smiled and said: However, if this marriage happens, I have to remind the sixth aunt of some things. The prince's family background is indeed very weak. Since he does not accept the financial support from the prince of Zhennan,

I'm afraid he won't accept support from his wife's natal family. His fame may end here. Such a son-in-law

The Eleventh Aunt and the Sixth Aunt are serious and honest, and they value matchmaking. What matters is that they are well-matched. If the prince's family is well-off, or he is willing to accept help from others, how can our Twelfth Miss have such an opportunity? She said sincerely

Looking at Eleven Niang, we still know this truth.

The eleventh mother nodded slightly and said with a smile: Then we will wait for the news from Mrs. Zhou. If we can succeed, then I will have to persuade the twelve mothers.

Although Miss Twelve is not as good as Aunt Eleven, and Aunt Six is ​​humble and honest, she still knows about it. Regardless of whether this thing will work out or not, Miss Twelfth is aware of Aunt Eleven’s good intentions.

After hearing what Liu Yiniang said, Eleventh Mother calmed down, had lunch at her mother's house, and then returned to the lotus.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Luo came to visit.

If the Wang family also has this intention, what else can we say? I will ask my aunt to send a message when the time comes.

It seems that the Luo family has carefully considered the pros and cons of this marriage.

Eleven Niang knew it well. Liu Luo had lunch at home and delivered it to Chuihua Gate herself.

Mrs. Zhou came in the afternoon.

Whether you can get my pair of matchmaking shoes or not depends on your words.

It means that the Wang family has no objection.

It's really a happy situation for everyone.

Eleven Niang said with a smile: I am worried about what kind of shoe uppers to make for Sister Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed when she heard this, and sighed: My sister-in-law's eyesight is not good, and the family lacks someone to host the middle school. Previously, I was worried that your twelfth sister was too young. Unexpectedly, my sister-in-law is worried about the family these past few years.

It would be too shabby to get married right away without saving a few bucks. This is really in line with the saying that a thousand miles of marriage is tied by a thread.

Eleven Niang smiled and nodded, and she and Mrs. Zhou went to Mrs. Tai's place.

Mrs. Tai was also very happy after hearing this: This is really a coincidence. Then she stayed with Mrs. Zhou for dinner.

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said: My sister-in-law is still eagerly waiting for me to reply to the letter. I will come back to you in two days. Today I will go to my sister-in-law's house to have a meal.

The wife laughed after hearing this and did not leave her alone. Instead, she asked Princess Fucheng: What are you doing at home these days?

She is disturbed by the noise from our sister Fang. She helps our sister Fang feed the cats every day.

Feed the cat

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said: During the Chinese New Year, my elder brother who was the chief envoy in Fujian sent two cats with white fur, one with green eyes and one with blue eyes. Sister Fang was very rare, lest she

Others didn't take good care of her, so she fed her herself every day. A few days ago, she went to the palace with the princess to play, and she got a rash on her body. After taking medicine for more than half a month, she didn't feel better. The princess suspected that the cat hair was the cause of the trouble.

They asked people to give the cat away. After hearing this, Sister Fang refused to live or die. The princess had no choice but to get two little maids to help her feed it. She was still worried and ran to see it every day. The princess had to take the cat to her yard.

Help her feed her

There is also such a thing. After hearing this, Mrs. Tai laughed and said, you tell your mother-in-law, and I will go there tomorrow to open my eyes. See what rare things are that make our sister Fang so fascinated.

Princess Fucheng is the emperor's aunt, and Mrs. Tai is the mother of the queen. Although there is no conflict between the two old people, they cannot be called close friends. Mrs. Tai suddenly wants to visit Princess Fucheng's house for a cat.

Both my mother and Mrs. Zhou were stunned.

But Mrs. Zhou reacted quickly and said with a smile: Oh, I have invited a rare guest. She said, if you go, the princess will be very happy. She is just looking forward to having someone to walk around. Then she said a lot of welcome

if.

That's it, it's settled. Madame smiled and decided to come to visit in the future.

Mrs. Zhou said yes repeatedly and stood up to leave.

Eleven Niang sent Mrs. Zhou to Chuihua Gate and returned to Mrs. Tai.

You are all busy. Madam Tai told Eleven Niang that Mother Du can accompany me tomorrow.

It seemed like something was wrong.

Seeing that Madam Tai didn't want to say anything and didn't want to ask questions, Eleven Niang responded with a smile and went to arrange things for Madam Tai's trip.

The next day she saw off the madam and returned to Gongxian Hutong.

The Luo family invited their fourth uncle Yu Yiqing to be the matchmaker, and the Wang family invited the Zhennan Hou Shizi to be the matchmaker. The two families exchanged the Geng tie and got married. Before the summer came, they made a small commitment and finalized the marriage. This is all for later.

When Sister Zhen found out, she pulled Eleven Niang and said with a smile: It turns out that my mother was going to be a matchmaker for someone. The weather happened to be a bit hot in those few days, and the family had already started cooking mung bean soup. She offered a bowl to Eleven Niang.

, then do you really want to make a pair of shoes for Mrs. Zhou?

Of course it is true. Eleven Niang said with a smile, this is what I promised others.

Then, does Aunt Twelve have to stay at home and do needlework like Sister Hui?

No need for the time being. The Eleventh Niang saw her and was very curious, so she explained that the Twelfth Aunt was still young, and the two families agreed to wait until the Twelfth Niang had a hairpin before marrying her. In two years, she would be locked up at home doing needlework like Sister Hui.

Sister Zhen laughed after hearing this and said: Then I will also help Aunt Twelve make a door curtain.

She helped Sister Hui make a door curtain.

Eleven Niang looked at the smiling Sister Zhen in front of her and thought of Xu Lingyi.

It was almost the Dragon Boat Festival, but he had no news at all, and he didn't know how things were going. The key was that there were many things that he needed to come back to decide on, especially Sister Zhen's marriage.

In the past two days, the Zhuo family has sent people to deliver this and that, so they are very attentive.

While thinking about it, Aunt Wen came in holding the account book.

Sister Zhen and Aunt Wen were facing each other, both slightly uncomfortable.

Eleven Niang smiled and asked Aunt Wen to sit down. Sister Zhen said, "I'll get the mung bean soup," and then quickly walked out of the inner room.

Aunt Wen glanced at the swaying soft curtain, and then reported to Eleven Niang: I have sorted out all the accounts at home. The biggest expense is the kitchen.

Eleven Niang concentrated on checking the accounts with Aunt Wen.

A little maid came in and said: Mrs. Lin from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is here.

Eleven Niang hurriedly invited her in.

Mrs. Lin took a few gold-painted fans: they were made by our sister Hui herself, and she said they were for Sister Zhen. Then she also brought a few baskets of peaches, knowing that you are not in need of them, so this is a little thought from me.

If it weren't for you, our sister Hui wouldn't be able to settle down to do needlework. This is actually a thank you gift specially given to her.

Eleven Niang humbly asked Amber to accept it, and asked about Sister Hui's situation: I heard that the wedding date is set for May next year.

Lin Da Nai's eyes darkened as she spoke, and she nodded with a somewhat sad expression: "They keep urging me over there."

Just as Eleven Niang was about to comfort her, the little maid reported: Mrs. Zhuo is here.

Please invite her in. There was a hint of helplessness in Eleven Niang's tone that she didn't notice.

Mrs. Lin raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, and said in a low voice: I heard that the Zhuo family wants to marry your family, is there such a thing?

I think everyone must have heard about it vaguely.

Eleven Niang nodded.

Lin Da Nai joked: Looking at you like this, you still want to socialize with her. Could it be that the food is tasteless and it is a pity to throw it away?

Eleven Niang felt that it was not good to talk about the Zhuo family like this, so she smiled and said: It’s just that Mr. Zhuo has a close personal relationship with our Marquis.

Mrs. Lin couldn't hear the unfinished meaning: If I had known this, I would join in the fun and be a matchmaker for your sister Zhen.
