Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 374, Yuan Yun and Guo Shi
Thinking back on the fate of my life, the old master Yuan also clicked his tongue, the Meridian Gate saved his life, and sister Xiu was proud of her marriage, as if there was an element of luck in each scene.

But a sensible person can understand it at a glance, and there are sensible people everywhere in these things.

Baoming at the Meridian Gate is about meeting Princess Dayi, a person who understands state affairs, and sister Xiu is married with a happy family because she meets a family who understands.

If the princess had cared about the late emperor as the emperor and she was a woman, she would not have saved the life of the old man.

If Sister Xiu met a confused in-law's family, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fought for power and guarded against each other, Yuan Xiu would not be able to be happy.

Amidst the pattering of the mules, the old man Yuan murmured to himself: "I can't be a fool. I can't rest assured if I go to the third boss to have a look."

His eyes were full of vigilance, and he always had a bad feeling.

The county where Yuan Yun took office is called Baicheng, and "Bai" is the common surname here. Another county more than 100 miles away from Baicheng is called Baiercheng. The county magistrate of Ercheng.

Under the conditions of having horses and cars, more than 100 miles is not far away. After Yuan Yuan took office, he and Guo Li had close contacts and exchanged news, and Guo's naturally did the same.

At this time, the Guo family with upside-down brows did not reduce her pretty appearance, with one hand on her hips, and the other hand grabbed Yuan Yun's official robe collar, and said angrily: "Do you listen to what I say?"

Although Yuan Yun felt that it was unreasonable, the young couple's love was unreasonable, and he said dumbfoundingly: "You can't do this whether you listen or not, you look ugly, let go, my grandma."

Mrs. Guo said a few more harsh words, but Yuan Yun still didn't agree, so she let go in a fit of anger, pushed Yuan Yun up, half turned her body and sulked: "It turns out that this trick is useless, my sister-in-law actually lied to me?"

Yuan Yun tidied up his official robes, and it was funny when he heard the words: "You idiot, has your cousin used it? Are you willing to trust her?"

Guo pouted, and turned her eyes sideways: "She said it worked, and this trick is not hers, she learned it from the Bai family."

This look of resentment and resentment made Yuan Yun feel affectionate, put his arms around Guo's shoulders, and smiled softly: "The Bai family you asked me to socialize with is the one who taught you and my sister-in-law this trick?"

"That's right, the head of the Bai family in Baier City has seven sons, my cousin Guo Li only befriends one of them, and my cousin sister-in-law only befriends this grandma of the Bai family, but what about you, the patriarch of this Baicheng has only one son?" You are not willing to make friends with a son, you are going to drive me to death."

Guo's pretending to push Yuanyun again.

Yuan Yun smiled with arrogance: "Don't you know that Sister Xiu married high? I am also the parent official here, why do I bend my waist to make friends with the common people?"

"But the Bai family is not a commoner, he is a rich businessman." Guo began to panic again: "As long as you are willing to make friends with the head of the Bai family in our city, or his son, in fact, let me say that the head of the Bai family in our city It's similar to the head of the Bai family in my cousin's city. They are old and don't care about things, and leave it to their sons to manage the house. The master of the Bai family also sends invitations from time to time, but what's the matter with you, come in Jing changed his mind and refused to go.”

Yuan Yun still smiled: "Since the patriarchs in the two cities are old and have been handed over to their sons to be in charge of the family, why does brother Li use your light to urge me every day to socialize with the Bai family master in my city?"

Mrs. Guo stomped her feet: "I knew your heart was as clear as a mirror, so you didn't want to go because you did it on purpose?" Slim fingernails touched Zhong Yuanyun's forehead: "It's a pity that the old lady kept it a secret. It turned out that she was the princess's retainer back then. I married into the door. It’s just that he refused to say it in a few years, and he didn’t even know about you for more than 20 years after giving birth. Well, if you don’t win the exam, you will have no way out. The book says well, traveling thousands of miles is like reading thousands of books, my cousin I got an official position, I came home to beg for evil, and my cousin sister-in-law was kind to me. You also learned a lot when you took us to the Yamen. Do you dare to admit it, those copings, conversations, are you in the princess mansion? Is it useless?"

Yuan Yun had nothing to say, he didn't know that there was a problem with his speech, which made the old man suspicious of him, and Yun Zhan, among the two uncles other than his father-in-law, paid more attention to the gentle and elegant Yuan Lian.

Therefore, Yuan Yun also thought that he socialized well at the princess's mansion, so Guo's words made sense.

An experience in Guoli Yamen was indeed useful.

Under Guo Shi's gaze, Yuan Yun nodded.

Mrs. Guo became more and more complacent, and stared at her almond eyes again: "You have already guessed, I'll tell you the truth, the Bai family master in Baier City is fighting with his brothers for the patriarch, and needs the help of the Bai family master in our city, you Now you are the one who relies on the princess. Dare the old Bai family in our city sell you light?

Yuan Yun was still arrogant. In Beijing, he thought that Sister Hui made a wrong marriage because of this kind of arrogance, and said with his eyes facing the sky: "I have my back to the princess, so I can't gossip with the common people."

"You!" Guo's heart stroked his chest angrily, and his anger really rose.

Yuan Yun put a soft voice: "You, I don't listen to what you say, do you listen to what I say? When Brother Li took office, there were always twenty or thirty people in your Guo family who wanted to come out with him, but he took me with him. Don't I appreciate it? When I went to Baier City to pick you up, I told Brother Li that a rising tide raises all boats, that my status has risen, and so does Brother Li, so stop messing around with the people, lest one day you will be caught off guard. After a month or so, I corresponded with Brother Li, and seeing that he didn’t listen, I asked you to tell me a few more times. You have to listen to what I say.”

Guo was angry: "What do you mean by not flirting with the common people? Take a look around the world, which official does not deal with the common people? It is the eldest son of Sister Xiu. I don't believe that he doesn't take bribes and give bribes. It's just the princess's. No one will check on the son."

Yuan Yun continued to be proud. He is a parent official with a backing, so it is good to be promoted in a stable manner. There is a fight for the patriarch in Baier City, so why should I be involved.

Mrs. Guo frowned and came up with another example: "There is also the official named You Ren in Xinji. When we were at home, he always invited the second brother to dinner. Isn't this just arguing with the people, but you don't want to?" go."

Yuan Yun replied with an unbearable air: "Don't mention him! Besides, my family is a common people? Father will reveal the truth. It turns out that he worked for the princess back then. You think he always invites my second brother to eat with me in Xinji Well, that is because he wants to use his father's name to stay in Xinji. He is the former official Ding You. Brother, don't be fooled by Youzhi, who invited us to dinner, he pointed at the second brother to sit on the table, so that he can chat with the merchants in Xinji."

Yuan Yun's resentment towards You Jian has intensified after entering Beijing, this person is too good at making money, and now he is working as an errand in the study of Prince Wei's son, hey, who is that, if sister Xiu didn't get married, Prince Wei's mansion would know who you are ?

He actually saw that he was not polite, nor groveling.

After listening to this passage, Mrs. Guo came into another spirit: "I said, the old man can't just love the boss's room. After I have a child, my son must be an official, and my daughter must marry like sister Xiu."

She lowered her head and thought: "The eldest son is the eldest son, but you are the youngest son. If I give birth to a daughter, it should be the youngest granddaughter."

Hold your head high and be confident: "It's better to marry than Sister Xiu! Sister Xiu's relatives are either princes or county princes, and all of them have higher status than Sister Xiu's son-in-law, so I will choose one of them to be our son-in-law, otherwise, I will never marry you." promise!"

She hasn't conceived yet, so she doesn't necessarily have a boy or a girl, so her "ambition" is so crazy, and Yuan Yun still listened to it, and agreed: "Yes, you are thoughtful, the status of the princess's son will never be higher than that of the prince and the county. Wang, when we have a daughter, we will choose a son-in-law in the palace of the prince and the county prince."

The husband and wife found a common language, looked at each other and smiled lightly, you and me, Guo took this opportunity to pester Yuan Yun to help Guo Li and entertain the people of the Bai family, Yuan Yun still refused with his arrogance: "You just ask him Said, after a few years of peace and stability, I took the time to go to Beijing and talk to sister Xiu and her son-in-law, and I will be promoted with him. Don't interfere with the household affairs of the people. The two cities are full of the Bai family surname. If the sons fight, I'm afraid I will be implicated."

Guo has no choice but to come to an end, and plans to have a good talk with Yuan Yun another day.

She has a small plan. Her father is also a teacher who chatted with the old master Yuan. He is similar to Zhen's natal family. Feel the pressure.

This is not the reason why Mrs. Guo encouraged Yuan Yun to follow his clan brother to be a teacher. The real reason is that sister Xiu is the housekeeper and the aunt is the company.

Mrs. Guo wanted to ask Mrs. Zhen several times to talk to her father-in-law, but Mrs. Zhen refused to join forces. Can only suffer.

Mrs. Guo didn't dare to object, but instead searched for the reason by herself. It seemed to be easy, and she could find it. The boss is now an official, so the parents-in-law valued sister Xiu and wanted the little girl to be the housekeeper.

Yuan Yun failed in that subject, and his clan brother Guo Li won. When Guo returned to her natal home, she asked if she needed a clerk.

Now Guo Li should think that he is betting on the treasure, and the eldest daughter of the Yuan family actually married into the Duke's mansion.

The pressure on Mrs. Guo is even heavier. She thinks that as a daughter-in-law, she still has no status. The support she should have given her husband has also disappeared with sister Xiu's high marriage. She was even angrier to see that what her father-in-law had was for her husband. Looking for an official position, but he used it all with Dafang.

Mrs. Guo didn't believe that "Shizi Yun fell in love at first sight when he came to Xinji". Could it be that the princess's son lacks beautiful girls? Sister Xiu, the niece's daughter, was born well, but Mrs. Guo was also born well, she didn't think Yuanxiu was superior. appearance.

Yuanxiu's beauty is mainly dignified, Yanyan's beauty is eye-catching, Luzhu is a delicate little flower, with sharp eyebrows and refreshing eyes.

If it was said that Yun Shizi caught Yanyan at a glance, Guo Shi also believed it a little bit.

Sister Xiu's demeanor is also dignified, she is a strict girl, how can she attract a mother who is the son of a princess, who knows that all beauties will enter the palace, and the son of Yun has no shortage of beauties.

Sister Xiu got married, and Guo Shi angrily believed that this was an ironclad proof that her father-in-law was biased towards the big family. She was looking forward to Guo Li's future so that she could still have a status in her husband's family.

Yuan Yun said, "After a few years of steady work, I will go to Beijing to talk to my niece and son-in-law and I will be promoted." Of course Guo is willing, but this situation will make her shorter from now on.

Guo Li's wife, her cousin told her: "What kind of official position, if you have money, you should stand upright, and the master of the Bai family will pay this amount."

Guo Shi was shocked when he saw the gesture.

"I want to be promoted, dear relative, you can do it without paying? Silly sister, your brother has made an agreement with Lord Bai of Bai Ercheng. As long as Lord Bai of Baicheng sends a word of help, the money will belong to you. In the future, if I really ask you to help your elder brother get promoted, according to what you said, your husband’s family prefers the big house, and the third son doesn’t give up the money, and the niece and son-in-law are on the next floor, how can you help him?”

Guo thinks it makes sense.

Anyway, if the Bai family wants to change the patriarch, who should be the one?

In the eyes of Guo Shi, Bai Ye who gave the money is clever and smart, and he should be able to be a good patriarch. As for whether he is a good patriarch, Guo Shi doesn't care.

Mrs. Guo thought to herself, Sister Xiu married high, it is true that you, the third master, can promote my brother, but will your niece and son-in-law tell you about making money?You have to help each other to make it happen, and I, Guo, still have status in the eyes of your third master.

Mrs. Guo wrongly judged that the third master did not win, so the old lady was biased. Otherwise, let’s look at another evidence. Sister Xiu Gao married into a wealthy family. Shouldn’t Sister Hui follow her elder sister’s pattern to make a marriage?

Sister Hui decided to give Xinji a young scholar. What is the use of a scholar? Zheng Xiaoxiu just reads.

Take a look, this is the evidence of the old man's eccentricity, and the second brother Yuanlian didn't win either.

In order to confirm repeatedly, Guo even asked Yuan Yun's relatives who met the princess when he went to Beijing, whether there were any boys of the same age as Yuan Hui in each mansion.

Yuan Yun said yes, Tian Tian and Yuan Hui played football and climbed the rockery together. There was a grandson of the king, and a son of the county king.

Guo's heart is cold, this old man is too partial, could it be that the second elder brother and her husband were adopted?

Speaking of this, some people may wonder that Mrs. Guo thinks too much of Mr. Yuan, a scholar in the town. No matter how good the old man is in front of the princess, it is good to be able to marry a granddaughter. It is normal for Sister Hui not to marry too much.

The old man's in-laws, Princess Dayi is different.

After Guo heard that sister Xiu was married, she talked to Guo Li. When Guo Li heard that she was the eldest princess of Dayi, she talked endlessly. What kind of princess had a role in proclaiming emperor back then. According to folklore, although she was bound by her female status, But judging from the courtesy received by the emperor after he ascended the throne, the conditions required by the princess will not be low and so on.

Folklore is inaccurate, and the previous sentence said that the grounding of all sentences in the world is normal.

Guo Shi took it as a secret, she didn't think about how Guo Li had been an official for a few years, and he hadn't made friends with very capable officials, so how could he know the secrets of Beijing.

Mrs. Guo only thought about a princess who was almost proclaimed emperor. If she abdicates, can she not mention many conditions?

For Yuan Hui to be engaged to a noble family, for Princess Dayi, it is only a matter of one sentence.
