Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 383, Mid-Autumn Festival

Yuan Xiu moved her lips, thinking that she should resign modestly, but she shouldn't interrupt if she was given an official position, and she swallowed the words again.

The couple continued to drink tea, Yuanxiu's mood was affected to some extent, and he was always distracted, Yun Zhan couldn't enjoy leisurely, so he brought the topic again to Yuanxiu's favorite place: "How is the business of your shop recently? "

"it is good."

Yuanxiu suddenly became happy with concentration, and even gestured and said: "There are no good furs in the new collection, I thought furs would not be sold in this weather, but when the furs arrived, Brother Ning and Yanyan Lvzhu went to the regular customers I said it in front of me, and everyone is scrambling to make winter clothes."

"If the tailor can do it, it will be winter." Yun Zhan said.

Yuanxiu's love lingered, making her cheeks vivid and beautiful: "Allow me to thank you more, if you didn't think of my parents, there would not be so much business in Yanyan's shop."

Yun Zhan was modest: "The seafood was found by themselves."

"Brother Ning is not greedy for credit. This is due to shopkeeper Zheng. It is said that he is still in the south, and he comes back by guarding the ship every day." Yuan Xiu became more and more lively, a bit like the older Yuan Hui.

Yun Zhan also nodded in satisfaction. When it comes to Yuan Yun, he thinks it is a pity. When it comes to Guo, he is really angry. Generous?
Giving Yuan Hui tens of thousands, could it be that he is reluctant to give his wife a three-bedroom home? Knowing that Yuan Xiu is marrying him, but only looking at the little money in his eyes, people really don't know what to say.

Or Yanyan's shop is now interesting, and there are some annoying people in it, such as the entire Nanyang Marquis Mansion except the Qi family, but Yanyan can stand on her own, which makes this marriage more eye-catching. It's more fun to look at it and talk about it.

In the middle, Tang Wei, the heir of King Wei, came to bid farewell. The sad Tang Wei offended his cousin again. When he got married and had a house, he read a love poem written by his cousin to his sister-in-law. I watched it secretly together, and I just waited for him to make a joke with my cousin when he got married. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I also patiently waited for Yun Zhan, who was in the mid-autumn festival, to take him an errand, forcing Tang Wei Leave Beijing in the morning.

King Wei and his wife took pleasure in other people's misfortune, and when they knew about this errand, they brought Tang Zhi into the palace to beg for a palace banquet that day, and said to Tang Ze, "This is considered as my son's time to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you, and I will send him away after eating."

Emperor Tang Ze was overjoyed and did not help Tang Wei.

Tang Zhi pretended to be sad and rolled his eyes, making the tea-sipping couple laugh non-stop, adding another joke.

The one who came to bid farewell was Youzheng, with him following, Yun Zhan could rest assured, King Wei could rest assured, and Tang Wei, the heir son of King Wei, felt bad.

You Zhen is too good at office work, Tang Wei can imagine that he can't avoid all the business affairs he encounters along the way, and You Zhen is there.

The couple continued to laugh at Tang Wei until dinner time. After dinner, Prince Wei's concubine Fu Chanjuan wrote a note complaining, "People are not round during the Mid-Autumn Festival." Yuanxiu felt nervous and replied "It's better than a layman who is not round."

Fu Chanjuan may be a sister-in-law who can work together, but it is impossible for her to forgive Yun Zhan in this life. Her husband, who was narrow-minded by nature, would not get married if Yun Zhan did not get married. Except for not prescribing drugs, all methods are used.

As a result, Yun Zhan was not married yet, nor did he take concubines because of it. Tang Wei was tricked first. In the process of finding relatives for his cousin, he brought into the mansion four beautiful concubines, all from famous families.

Fu Chanjuan and Yuan Xiu said: "I have a table of cards in my room at any time, and there are more people. It is inevitable that your room is deserted. I will find some for you when I have time."

Yuan Xiu asked her not to talk about it: "I have never heard that no one is allowed to appear on the side of the couch?"

"My couch is full of people, how can I see you idle?"

The two of them quarreled once, but they wouldn't be really angry, and they wouldn't have any quarrel over it, because there was something called dissatisfaction that was always there, and there was no way to get any more quarrel.

But compared to the former princess of the Ming Kingdom who caused trouble when nothing happened, Fu Chanjuan, who was a bachelor, was not difficult to get along with. Yuan Xiu and her could still be regarded as a good pair of sisters-in-law, but they needed to forget about their husbands.

Of course, Yun Zhan's late marriage was a drag on Tang Zhi's marriage, and the love poems between Yuan Xiu and his wife were sung by Chu Yun in Qinlou, which is Tang Zhi's credit.

The scent of sweet-scented osmanthus in the Mid-Autumn Festival spreads all over Xinji, and then all over Yuan's house.

There were not so many sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. This year, the Yuan family has nobles living there. Princess Xian ordered not to disturb them. Lord Niu and Lord Huang from this province are also actively planting trees and flowers in the surrounding area.

In the year Yuanxiu got married, the entire Sanbao county town had been tidied up to the wharf. This time, it didn't cost much, just moving a few hundred-year-old osmanthus trees outside Xinji town.

Concubine Xian and Yuan Hui's little friends will definitely return to Beijing for the New Year, but Mr. Niu is considerate and starts to move plum blossoms again. He said that it is impossible to say that next year the nobles will come to Yuan's house again, and Sanbao County will be cleaned up more like a treasured land of geomantic omen , is his three-year plan for this year, next year and the year after.

Master Niu is knowledgeable, so he didn't surround Yuan's house with potted osmanthus flowers, but planted them scattered outside the market town.If the nose is always fragrant with flowers, it is not ruled out that some people are not used to it.

When Mrs. Zhen walked out of the room, there was a scent of fragrance in the fresh air blowing her face from time to time, which lifted her spirits from time to time, making her go to see Yuan Hui in a good mood.

Yuan Hui was sitting in the main hall, with two women on the left and two maids on the right, serving Sister Hui's housekeeper.

This is not nonsense, nor is it that Mrs. Zhen took the housekeeping power forcibly when only the mother and daughter of the second room were at home.

This is what the old lady Yuan specially ordered after Yuan Xiu got married, before the old lady passed away.

The old man insisted on letting the girls study, and after marrying into the in-laws’ house, he would be like a shopkeeper. He didn’t understand this, and he didn’t understand that. It’s a trivial matter to make the in-law’s family a joke. Don't try to stand out, the in-law's family doesn't dare to ask you to do things, and they don't know anything about daily necessities.

And Yuan Hui came as a distinguished guest, only Yuan Hui knew what the little friends liked to eat and play, neither Zhen Shi nor Li Shi knew anything about it, the second daughter of Yuan Hui, Xiao Yuan Hui, was now the official head of the family.

Mrs. Zhen just went back to her room to do something. Mrs. Li was with Yuan Hui. I heard that Sister Hui asked about the various dishes for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Sister Hui decided to add candied apples, candied oranges, and candied oranges. There are really candied beef mutton.

This completely disregarded the arrangement of Princess Xian and the elders. When Mrs. Zhen walked in, Mrs. Li was smiling and persuading Yuan Hui to add two more dishes for Princess Xian.

Yuan Hui giggled: "I'll let the restaurant deliver the food separately. Tonight, let's go to the flowing water table and eat all the dishes that everyone loves and the dishes that we want to taste."

Mrs. Li hurriedly praised Yuanhui: "After all, she lived in my sister's house. Sister Hui knows what running water rice noodles are. Look at me, but I don't understand. Although I have heard of it, I can't remember it when I use it."

Ten-year-old Yuan Hui doesn't have much humility, and she usually doesn't go out of the room with humility. Her pride is written on her face, which makes Zhenshi laugh.

Zhen Shi sat down, Li Shi asked her in a low voice: "Sent away?"

"Send away."

Yuan Hui also asked: "I sent it to my third aunt the day before yesterday. She refused to go home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. I think I should send some fresh fruits and dishes over today, and then bring a jar of wine to my husband's house to thank him for his hospitality." Third Aunt these few months."

The wording of this passage is gentle and thoughtful, and Mrs. Zhen is also proud. When the mother and daughter's pride is on their faces, you can see that at this moment, there are two Yuan Hui sitting here, one is an adult, and the other is a girl. little girl.

In a blink of an eye, Zhen's complacency went down, and now her face was bright, mature and stable, and she was like a mother and daughter again.

Yun Zhan was half a day away from Fusheng yesterday, chatting with his wife about Guo Shi, and before that, Yuan Xiu and Zhen Shi had already talked about Guo Shi in correspondence.

The father-in-law ordered the daughter-in-law to go home, but the daughter-in-law went back to her mother's house without authorization, which is obviously inappropriate.

Although there are no parents-in-law at home, the second sister-in-law is.Even if Mrs. Zhen is a younger brother and sister, Mrs. Zhen is the only one staying behind in the three houses of the Yuan family. She is the housekeeper for granted. Mrs. Guo should tell Mrs. Zhen before returning to her natal family.

Mrs. Zhen will definitely not prevent Mrs. Guo from returning to her natal family, even if Mrs. Guo has been living and refuses to come back, when Mrs. Yuan comes home, Mrs. Zhen will honestly make things right for Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo didn't go back to Yuan's house, and Mrs. Zhen even received a letter from Mrs. Yuan, asking her third aunt how she was at home with Yuan Xiu, and asking her second aunt to persuade her, but Mrs. Guo didn't send a single word.

The letters of the old master Yuan are delivered by ordinary postmen, that is, the kind of letters with a big bun on their backs. The direction of the letters is the same, such as the north, but the address in the north direction is different. Run to the corners of the villages in the southeast, northwest, and cols.When the letter arrived at Yuan's house, it had been two months since Yuan Yun was resigned from office.

Mrs. Zhen did the math, Mrs. Guo had to go back to her natal home for at least a month and a half. She was not a postman, so she didn't need to run around the corners of Shan'ao Village on the way back.

In the past two months, Yuanxiu, who was far away in Beijing, also received the news and sent a letter of concern, but Guo was still missing.

The resentment in Guo's heart can be imagined.

Mrs. Zhen hesitated for several days, and asked Mrs. Li to help her make up her mind. It is better not to ask Mrs. Guo.

Ask her how she is?

Mrs. Guo may think that she is reading a joke. Everyone knows that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are born enemies, but in fact, sisters-in-law will also appear.

comfort her?
Mrs. Guo might come back with a knife and fight desperately, thinking that everyone in the Yuan family is belittling her.

Because of this, Mrs. Li knew that the third master was dismissed from office, and Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Guo were not related. She asked in a low voice when she saw Mrs. Zhen sitting down just now.

Mrs. Li didn't speak ill of Mrs. Guo either. This clever woman lived in Yuan's house. Although she got close to Mrs. Zhen, she was not a serious nephew of the Yuan family. When you care about it, you will say the second time and the third time. It is not good to be heard by the serious master of the Yuan family, Mrs. Guo.

Li Shi suggested that Zhen Shi wait until the day of singing the opera, give Guo some fruit to eat, and don't ask or say anything.

At that time, the Dragon Boat Festival had passed, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was too far away. Fortunately, there were many lively days in the countryside, and singing social operas could be counted as a rural festival.

Mrs. Zhen was more thoughtful, remembering that Mrs. Guo was dissatisfied with the resignation of the third younger brother, it was fine. The in-laws of the third room were scholars who walked around with his father-in-law and his own father. Could it be that this elder also complained?
Generally speaking, it is impossible. The old pedant recognizes the truth, and after the truth is finalized, it will not be changed for a lifetime.

So I asked someone to ask near Guo's house, but the old pedant really didn't want to talk to his daughter. Guo went in crying and complained to his parents. Why take Yuan Yun's official position, even if you sue the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, you still have a chance to manage it.

It's good now, father sues his son, holding the handle, Yuan Yun's official position will be gone that day.

Guo cried: "I asked people, and they all said that this is against the rules of the court. The court ordered officials to be managed by the court, and the father can't control it."

The old pedant was furious, and immediately drove Guo away: "Why do married girls go back to their mother's house? Your home is not here!"

He didn't analyze Guo Shi's words, found out what was wrong with Guo Shi, and directly thought that Guo Shi was wrong: "Lao Yuan and I respect each other all our lives, and that's how we become in-laws. I will raise you, and promise such a good marriage. I'm sorry for you. Go away!"

Guo went back to her mother's house that day, but was kicked out at that time. She cried and refused to go back to her in-law's house. She lived in a childhood friend's house. He was also dismissed from office and came back, so the Guo family lived in Guo Li's house as a matter of course.

Guo Li has been staying with Mrs. Guo to live today, and Guo Li's wife has long been annoyed, talking nonsense outside, and Mrs. Zhen has heard Guo Li's thoughts.

The old master Yuan resigned his official post in anger, and Yuan Yun's official was gone. In fact, Yuan Yun hadn't collected money yet, and Guo Li, who collected money with great fanfare, would definitely not be able to escape. The provincial council tried it first, and then reported to the Ministry of Officials. Guo Li Just half a month later, Mrs. Guo went home.If he waited for the official document from the Ministry of Officials before resigning, Guo Li should have returned before the Chinese New Year.

The old man has a lot of money, and once he is picked, he will be two officials. Guo Li has always been alert, and he can see at a glance that the old man has such a big hand, and it will not be difficult to reinstate him.

Mrs. Guo came to his house and kept saying that her cousin had harmed her. Guo Li had a good temper and kept Mrs. Guo to stay. He planned to wait for Mrs. Yuan to come home and take the opportunity of seeing Mrs. Guo to visit and have a lot of conversations with Mrs. Yuan. Apologize, admit your mistakes a lot, and look for opportunities to reinstate yourself.

Mr. Yuan's departure from Beijing this time fulfilled his eagerness to miss his old friends for decades.

Some people can confirm that the guest died in Beijing and plan to visit his family. If the family is too poor to survive, they will send some money for settling down.There are also some old friends who may still be alive, and it is exciting to meet old friends.

The princess gave him his pocket money and the gift money for settling down. The old master Yuan planned to visit him on a three-year basis while he was still in good health, and he would not come back this year.

Guo Li didn't know, he thought the old man was rich and free, so he went out for a walk, but every festive season he misses his relatives a lot, and there is another saying that it is safe to be buried in the soil.It is impossible for the old man to spend the winter outside when he is old. He will definitely come back during the Chinese New Year.

After entertaining Mrs. Guo for less than half a year, you can get a logical opportunity to visit the old man Yuan.
