Hearing this, Li Yuan replied with a smile on her lips: "If you don't tell me, my eldest uncle and my third aunt won't know, so no one will scold you. By the way, you come back early. Does your husband's family have any objections?"
"I came back to dress you up and get you married. What do they think? To be honest, I hope we have a good relationship with you, so that when my brother-in-law is admitted to the Juren Examination, we can also take advantage of him."
When the appointment was first made, what the county magistrate Mr. Chen said was unknown to everyone in Liuyun County now?
Therefore, the husband's family is not stupid, how could they not hope that their sisters can keep in touch more, so that they can benefit from it when the time comes?
Don't say come back one or two days early, even three or five days, I guess it will work!
If the elder sister marries well, as the younger sister, she can be looked upon favorably by her in-laws' family and be more supportive.
When Li Yuan heard this, she smiled and said: "Okay, when Brother Xie is admitted to the official position, you can take advantage of it."
Li Shu and Li Lin smiled knowingly, then looked at the soles of her shoes placed by the kang, and asked, "Sister, are you making shoes for your brother-in-law?"
"Yes, Nai said that there are no elders in his family, so he doesn't need to make clothes and shoes for them, so he will make them for Brother Xie. I made a pair before, but Nai said it was not enough. Good things come in pairs, so I have to make another pair."
Li Shu was a little envious and said: "Sister, it's great that you can be the master of the house after you get married. Although my mother-in-law is a nice person, there are many brothers and sisters in the family, so it is inevitable that she will have small ideas, and she will occasionally be partial. Because everyone is in the same pot. When I eat here, even if I want to eat something, I have to spend my own money to buy more food."
Li Lin also said: "When my second uncle was still alive, he said that the emperor loved the eldest son and the people loved the youngest son. But it was just the opposite in my family. My mother-in-law was so partial. If my man hadn't been stupid and filial, and I also gave birth to sons early, and one of them was a boy and a girl. I was afraid that I wouldn’t have a place in that family. In the past few years, I had been looking forward to a separation. My mother-in-law was lukewarm to me, and sometimes my sister-in-law She turned a blind eye to all the attempts to push me. Thinking about it, I feel really frustrated. However, since the eldest sister, you and your brother-in-law got engaged, the attitudes of her and several sisters-in-law have been restrained. Today, when they learned that I was coming back, they gave me an unprecedented gift. I’ll give you one hundred coins as a gift.”
Wang Can, who was on the side, heard Li Shu and the two sisters complaining about their husband's family, and once again lamented his happiness in his heart.
She has no sisters-in-law, and her family has been separated for a long time. If she gets married, she can be the master of the family.
Although there is no land at home, it is nothing to her.
After all, the coming years will be bad and everyone will run away.
Even if there is land, it will be submerged when the time comes. There is not much difference between having it and not having it.
In addition, my eldest sister-in-law is a nice person and thinks of her wholeheartedly.
For example, she gave each of her two cousins a silver hairpin, but Sister Yuan gave her the only gold hairpin among her aunt's belongings.
When it came to dividing the money, Sister Yuan was afraid that her side would not be well-off, so she deliberately divided some more.
She believed that when her aunt gave it to her, she should have said that the brother and sister would get half of it each.
But in the end, all of Sister Yuan’s things were scored at 40 or 6 points.
Their family is six, and Yuan’s wife is four!
So compared with her two cousins, her marriage was like marrying into a honey pot.
Even her uncle Maocai said that she had a good life and would enjoy her blessings by marrying into a wealthy family!
While Wang Can was sighing with emotion, Li Shu was also saying that she was looking forward to the separation of the family.
The two of them were talking about the bad things at home. As they were talking, Li Shu suddenly said firmly: "Sister, I decided to go back and bring up the matter of family separation. Today is only the tenth day of the lunar month, and the Lantern Festival has not even passed. But the weather seems to be hotter than before. I remembered what my mother told me before, asking me to plant all the fields at home with drought-resistant crops. I went back and told them, but they didn’t agree at all and said that my wife After seeing this, he also said that my brother-in-law is a scholar, but he doesn’t know anything about farming. In short, it won’t work!”
Li Lin said: "Well, it's okay here. I don't know if it was affected by the previous snow disaster, but my family still trusts my brother-in-law. It's just that they are not willing to plant sweet potatoes and corn all the time. They He said that we should still grow rice in our paddy fields, and then all the dry land will be planted with sweet potatoes and corn."
Li Shu looked at her enviously and said: "Although your parents-in-law are partial, they seem to be people who can listen to your advice. But my family is not good at it. They don't listen at all. They also say that unless the county magistrate orders it, Let everyone plant. I want to separate our families. When the time comes, we can plant whatever we want on the land allocated to us."
At this moment, Wang Maocai's voice came from outside the door: "Caiweiniang, a guest is here!"
When Li Yuan heard this, she got up and walked out the door, and saw Su Jin and Yan Jiao standing at the door.
"Sister Yuan!"
"Jiaojiao, Sujin, why are you here? Come and sit in the room quickly!"
Li Yuan had just welcomed people in, and Wang Can had already stood up and was making sweet tea.
When Li Shu and her sisters saw this, they stood up and left.
Yan Jiao waited for the two sisters to go away, then she bowed deeply to Li Yuan, then straightened up and said, "Sister Yuan, Brother Gao Wu's sister came here last night and is now at my house. She said she would take us back to celebrate the Lantern Festival. , so Brother Gao Wu and I have to leave tomorrow, and we won’t be able to attend your and Brother Xie’s wedding then.”
As she spoke, she took out a purse from her arms and handed it over.
"I don't know what to give you, Sister Yuan. After thinking about it, I'd better give you the money and buy it yourself. My sister said that she was able to find it, thanks to you and Miss Su, Sister Yuan. Thank you, really. Thank you, Brother Xie, and Jun Zi. If it weren’t for you, Brother Gao Wu would have been gone a long time ago, and if it weren’t for you, my sister wouldn’t have come here. When you said before that you suspected that Brother Gao Wu was a heir of the Chen family, I think He was actually quite happy, so when my sister came this time, he wanted to go back with her."
Su Jin on the side also said: "Ms. Li, we have also decided to follow Sister Jiaojiao and the others. It is really too bad for the Jiang family. If we stay in the county, we will not be able to live in peace for a moment. Ping An has a good relationship with brothers Gao Wu , plus I am also familiar with Fucheng, and the eldest lady of the Chen family also hopes that we can follow Brother Gao Wu and Sister Jiaojiao, so that we can help them when the time comes. Therefore, we cannot attend your wedding this time. This, is My gift."
Su Jin said, taking out a handkerchief from her sleeve pocket and unfolding it. Inside was a thin silver hairpin.
She was afraid that Li Yuan would dislike her, so she hurriedly explained: "Ms. Li, my family cannot make ends meet now, and we basically rely on my dowry. Although the gift is not that great, I hope you will not dislike it."
Li Yuan reached out and took them one by one, and then gave them a virtual hug.
"Brother Xie and I are naturally happy that you can have a good career and a good future. Let's go. No matter what, it's better than staying in the county. After I get married, I will also go to the capital in a while. Come. As long as we have time and you are in Fucheng, Can Niang and I will visit Chen Mansion."
