lucky star girl

Chapter 131
The old lady Xu thought of the past, not many people knew about it, if she hadn't heard her daughter and granddaughter mention something wrong with the Jiang family and Jiang Han today, she wouldn't be able to remember it.

"When your uncle was young, he fell in love with a peasant girl. The girl's father died young, and she took a widowed mother with her to set up a stall in the city to sell food.

Your uncle should have liked it right away, but even though the Jiang family is a merchant, they didn't like that peasant girl either.

This incident was quite a big deal back then. Although the Jiang family was not as good as it is now, it was still one of the best among the merchants in the capital.

Later when your uncle got married, outsiders thought he had lost contact with that peasant girl, but I saw her with my own eyes at the Jiang family 20 years ago.

At that time, she was dressed as a woman. Because of the big troubles back then, I had seen her once, so I recognized her immediately at that time. "

The old lady Xu only knew so much, but what she said made Xu Yanzhu's heart startled.

Xu Yanzhu didn't think deeply about it before, but now she hears this past event from her grandmother, but there is always a feeling that this matter is very important.

It's just because she didn't know about the Jiang family's affairs, so after hearing about it, she didn't know what to say for a while.

However, Xu Yanzhu still thought in her heart, and found time to find time to ask her mother. Although she has a bad relationship with her mother now, she can always find a way to inquire about these things.

After talking about this, Mrs. Xu told the two of them about the guest at home.

"What strategy should Shiqiu use? Although the family shop is in charge now, Shiqiu's intention is to start some businesses that he didn't get involved in before."

As soon as Mrs. Xu finished speaking, Xu Yanzhu nodded and said, "Third Uncle's plan is not bad. The previous shops of our family were somewhat affected because the master was not in the capital. Now these shops continue to do business before, and we can find some more If you get involved in business that you didn’t do before, you can earn more money in the future.”

"Yanzhu is right. I will tell my younger siblings when I see them later. If there is any problem with the family's business, please go to the Fifth Prince's Mansion to find me."

Xu Nuanwen also supports the family in other businesses. She understands Xu Shiqiu's thoughts, so it is absolutely impossible to have no money in hand.

Their Xu family doesn't want to be greedy, but business is absolutely necessary.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were talking in the main courtyard, and Dong Shu also brought Yuan Xi, who had just had milk and changed her diaper, to the main courtyard.

As soon as they saw Yuan Xi, Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu were busy reaching out to hug her, but Yuan Xi didn't look at them at all, but reached out to the old lady Xu.

"Yuanxi is used to being hugged by mother every day. When I arrive at the main courtyard, I always have to be hugged by mother for a while." Dong Shu said, smiling at Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu with a little embarrassment.

Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu naturally wouldn't be angry. Seeing Yuan Xi obediently sitting in Mrs. Xu's arms, staring at them with big eyes, their eyes were immediately attracted by Yuan Xi.

Seeing her sister and eldest niece staring at her mother-in-law, Dong Shu looked at her mother-in-law and said, "Mother, before leaving home this morning, my husband told me that today and tomorrow are the first assessments in the barracks. So he I won’t be going home tonight, and I’ll take Brother Shuo home tomorrow afternoon, and the day after tomorrow he will give the soldiers in the barracks a day off.”

The old lady Xu hadn't opened her mouth when she heard Dong Shu's words. Xu Nuanwen, who was staring at Yuan Xi, had already said, "Originally, I planned to go to the military camp to see Brother Shuo, since he will come back with his uncle tomorrow night. , then I will stay at Zhuangzi for the next two days."

While talking, Xu Nuanwen ordered to the outside again: "Come here, tell brother Xuan that his second brother will come back tomorrow, and let him stay in Zhuangzi obediently for the next two days and don't be naughty."

Hearing Xu Nuanwen's words, the old lady Xu said: "I just remembered when you mentioned Brother Xuan, where is Brother Xuan?"

"This kid is in better health this year, and he is much skinnier than before. No, when he first arrived in Zhuangzi, he saw a group of children of the same age playing there. He begged me for a while, and I agreed that he would follow the group. Let the kids play for a while."

Xu Nuanwen said that Ye Xuan was naughty, but her brows and eyes were full of joy.

After thinking about it for a while, he understood that Ye Xuan's naughty behavior was also because his health had improved. If he was still the same as before, even if he was asked to go out to play, he would not go.

"There are no children of the same age as Brother Xuan in the family, and he is boring by himself. However, Uncle Xu's family has several grandchildren who are about the same age as Brother Xuan. If my sister doesn't mind, I will let them come over later to meet Brother Xuan Get to know."

Dong Shu is familiar with the grandchildren of Xu Er's family. When they were still in Xiahe Village, they learned to read and write with her.

Now that they are in the capital, those children also have things to do, but they can still be found by picking two out to lead Brother Xuan to play.

Xu Nuanwen's eyes lit up when she heard Dong Shu's words, and after hearing Dong Shu's introduction of the Xu family's Xu Jie who was not married, she immediately smiled and said: "It's really a coincidence, there is a maid in the mother's palace, who will be married this year." Leaving the palace, one year younger than Xu Jie, I don’t know if he would like to marry her.” After saying this, Xu Nuanwen saw that everyone was looking at her, and then continued to explain: “I don’t know how to speak for ordinary people. The court lady is very sensible, intelligent, and good-looking, and she was the daughter of a scholar family before the accident happened, and she was also literate."

Xu Nuanwen is not a casual matchmaker. The court lady she mentioned has been helping her find out news about the palace of the concubine De.

Now that she is going out of the palace, her parents have already passed away, so she originally agreed to find a good family for her.

Although Xu Jie has no official status now, he follows Xu Shiqiu after all. As long as he is not too bad, he will definitely have an official position in the future.

What's more, after Xu Er's family joined their family, their status is naturally different from before.

"This marriage is good." Mrs. Xu is also satisfied with this marriage. She believes that her daughter's vision will never introduce a bad girl to Xu Jie.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu looked at Dong Shu and said, "You ask Mrs. Lin to come and tell her about this matter, and ask her to go back and talk to her family. If their family has no objection, then start preparations. Palace, you will be able to marry a new wife this winter."

Xu Jie is 26 years old this year, and his family is going to die because of his marriage, but Xu Jie, who is an ordinary girl, still doesn't like her.

This time, the girl Xu Nuanwen was talking about, although she had been a maid in the palace for more than ten years, but she could read and write, and the rules of coming out of the palace must not be bad, presumably Xu Jie would be satisfied.

As soon as Dong Shu listened to Mrs. Xu's order, she walked quickly to the door and asked Ling Xiang to send a letter to Mrs. Lin of Xu Jun's family.

Mrs. Lin came very quickly. After listening to Xu Nuanwen's words, her eyes lit up and said: "Father must be very happy to know that the Fifth Prince and Concubine are the matchmaker." Not happy.

The three of their sisters-in-law are all rural girls who can't read. If the younger brother-in-law marries a literate younger brother and sister back home, someone will help raise the children in the family in the future.

Especially the girls in the family, now that the men in the family are not ordinary, the people who will marry in the future will definitely not be ordinary farmers.

But there is no one to teach them, and the girls in the family don't know the rules. Although they can read and can settle accounts now, they are still not as good as those girls who learned the rules since childhood.

Lin's joy was very real, and Xu Nuanwen felt satisfied when she saw it.

After Mrs. Lin left, Xu Nuanwen looked at the old lady Xu and said, "Second elder brother Yanlang's marriage is probably about to be finalized. Before I come to Zhuangzi, I made an agreement with my husband. I will wait for him to come to Zhuangzi in a few days." When you go up, bring the family of the staff with you."

As soon as Mrs. Xu heard Xu Nuanwen's words, she understood that she did this to let herself see that girl.

After nodding her head, Mrs. Xu said, "Yan Qing is about to become a father, and the children below are also growing up and getting married. Your brother Huan's marriage has not been settled yet?"

When talking about this matter, Xu Nuanwen was also worried.

"I mentioned it to Xianggong before. From his tone, it seems that the Holy Spirit intends to give Brother Huan a marriage."

Because Emperor Ruikang is getting old, there has been no draft for five years. According to the year, next year will be the year of the general election, and I am afraid that there will be a draft.

Thinking of this, Xu Nuanwen thought of the girl from the Liu family that her elder brother Shuo missed.

"Mother, back then when the older brothers were growing up, did you find it annoying when you chose marriages for them?"

As soon as Xu Nuanwen said this, the old lady Xu understood what she meant, squinted, glanced at her, and then said: "What's the trouble, as the mistress, I always have to worry about these things It's a matter. Didn't your brother Shuo already find a marriage for himself? Brother Xuan is still young now, so you only need to worry about Brother Huan.

Although the Holy One intends to bestow a marriage, as your own mother, you should pay more attention to suitable girls. If you have a good eye, you might as well talk to Empress Defei. "

As soon as Xu Nuanwen heard Mrs. Xu talk about this, she remembered one thing.

"Mother, when I entered the palace a few days ago, my concubine became angry when she learned that Yan Hao from the elder brother's family had discussed marriage with the girl from the Zhang family. If the old lady of the Zhang family also entered the palace that day and said that the Zhang family did not want to send their daughter into the royal family, the concubine mother You must talk about me again."

As soon as Xu Nuanwen finished speaking, the old lady Xu frowned and said, "Could it be that Empress De Fei is planning to let Brother Huan marry her natal girl?"

"It must be. When the husband was getting married, the Zhang family didn't have a girl of the right age. Now that brother Huan is going to get married, the Zhang family has a girl."

When Xu Nuanwen thought of this, she felt annoyed. She could understand Concubine De's desire to promote her natal family, but she actually wanted to let her eldest son marry the second wife of Zhang's family.

Although that girl was nice, Xu Nuanwen felt that it was not suitable for her eldest son.

She understood Ye Jingxing's thoughts, if he really succeeded, his brother Huan would be in that position in the future, so she would keep pressing his marriage.

The old lady Xu also understood Xu Nuanwen's thoughts, and when she heard her words, she couldn't help sighing: "Brother Suo Xinghuan is still young, it doesn't matter if the man gets married two years later."

Xu Nuanwen also felt that what the old lady Xu said was right, her brother Huan was only in his teens, and it would not be too late to get married in his twenties.

Dong Shu just sat aside and listened to her mother-in-law and aunt talking about the marriages of the younger generations, and suddenly thought that her Yuan Xi was only six months old.

Moreover, her husband has no son so far, so if she had a son in the future, wouldn't it be younger than the grandson of her elder brother's family?
Thinking of this, Dong Shu wanted to wait for Xu Shiqiu to come back and discuss with him.

Now that she has taken care of her body, she wonders if she can conceive another one?
