take a wife to support the family

Chapter 408 Red Dates with Walnuts

There are many ways to pay attention to in getting married, such as not marrying with the same surname, or being in the right family.

In addition, seniority is also important. For example, when Li Caifeng tried to match Song Haonian, she was talking about Li Baihe, her sister of the same generation.

If it is in the mountains like Zhu's natal family, where several brothers can marry the same woman, it doesn't matter.A baby was born in that place, and I didn't know who to call the father. After all, I dug it myself, and the fat and water didn't flow into other people's fields. It was not unusual for the brothers to be the first, second, and third fathers.

However, getting married in Qingliu Town is still very particular, and Wen Wa has to establish a foothold in the capital, let alone be sloppy.Therefore, Wen Wa Niang is a little strange, why Yue Niang's sister-in-law wants to tell her Wen Wa a niece.

Baihe looked at the channel: "Yueniang's natal sister-in-law, the children are not a few years younger than Qingsong and Wenwa, looking at them is no different from looking at her own children. She has visited several girls' homes for Wenwa, but she has never been able to see her." Okay, seeing her aunt and niece that day, I thought it was very good, but the seniority is not compatible, so I ask for your opinion."

Wenwaniang was out of ideas for a while, and asked Lily to ask what kind of situation this girl is.

Lily said: "The girl's surname is Dou, and she lives among all the sisters in the family, but her parents are only a girl, she is pampered, she is pampered, she has not fallen behind in what she should learn, she can do it even if she is a human being."

Dou Wuniang is 16 years old this year, only a few years younger than Yueniang, the same age as Huaguduo, quite colorful and intelligent.

But the family is more ordinary, and it is not considered a military household, with dozens of acres of land in the suburbs of Beijing.In the early years, the ancestors hit the Universiade, and there was still more than half of the mountain. Later, the imperial court confiscated that half of the mountain. Since then, the Dou family has made a fortune and lived a prosperous life.

In the later generations, the family was divided and the property was divided. Dou Wuniang's father's branch was not a direct branch, but was only allocated to a house and dozens of acres of land. After years of operation, the family also had some accumulation.

Dou Wuniang's elder brother doesn't have any great skills, and now he is honestly farming and doing some small business, but there is a little brother below, who is very spiritual in reading, and was admitted to the scholar when he was only fourteen or five years old.

Speaking of which, such a family background is not uncommon in Beijing, so it is impossible to give Wenwa much help. I am afraid that Wenwa will have to help little brother Dou to study and take exams. The height is also struggling to be close to ten.

Wen Waniang said: "I don't despise him. Our family is born as a mud-legged crop grower. He has been in the capital for hundreds of years and has seen the emperor. Our family doesn't have that kind of knowledge. No. Another one, at least there is a talented gentleman, but he is younger and has a bright future, I am afraid that the person who proposes marriage to this girl will step through the threshold."

A talented person is a real guarantee of future. Arguing that Dou Wuniang is like a pot of honey, she should provoke matchmakers constantly. Suddenly seeing such a young man with no relationship and no foundation suddenly makes people feel uncertain.

Wenwaniang thought for a while and said: "I will discuss it with his father, and I will call you back in two days. If it works, I must thank Sister-in-law Yueniang for her kindness, and I can't ask others to help us for nothing."

She had something in her mind, so she left after sitting for a long time, Baihe asked Song Haonian: "What do you think?"

Song Haonian said: "What can I see? We are here. It is hard to say what the situation in the capital is like. If you are really worried, I will write to ask my mother to help me take a look."

"Don't!" Lily hurriedly stopped him, believing in the identity of the princess, she suddenly looked up to Wenwa's daughter-in-law, it didn't hurt his luck, but a bad thing.

Lily thought about it for a moment, after all, this matter still has to fall on Yueniang, so she wrote back to Yueniang, asking her to inquire more.

Afterwards, he asked Princess Zhaoren: "Many of your friends are in the capital. If there are those who are not too high-ranked and can speak, please help to find out about the situation."

Zhaoren responded, and said: "In my opinion, it's not uncommon for their family to take a fancy to Xu Caiwen. After all, the second brother is standing behind him. Even if he is not a brother-in-law, it is a relationship after all. If they get along well, they will lose their benefits." No?"

Song Haonian and his wife could also think of this, Lily smiled and said: "If it's so simple, I'm afraid that the girl has some unspeakable faults, if she responds carelessly, wouldn't it be a scam for Wen'er? "

Back then, when Huang Zhenzhen was determined to marry the little scholar, everyone envied the little scholar's beauty, but it was only later that she realized that she was so unruly and a complete troublemaker.People in the town still say that Liu Rulong's family was killed by Huang Zhenzhen.

It's not that Lily's thoughts are gloomy, it's that marriage is a major issue in life, and you can't be careless—you have to pick and choose even when you're shopping for vegetables, and you can't make do when it comes to marrying a daughter-in-law.

Two days later, Zhaoren watched his nephews and nieces dreadfully idle, and even Lily watched them read and write every day, which was more relaxed than when they were at home, and seeing himself as busy as a scalper, he felt very upset.

In the end, I said hello to my brother and sister-in-law, and brought He Zhen to help her: "You can't stay at home all the time when you come out to see the suffering of the people and learn new things."

He Zhen said: "I made an appointment with Ju Er to pick jujubes tomorrow..."

Before he could say a word, Zhaoren grabbed his ears and dared not speak any more.Yi An laughed loudly: "You go, I will come back tomorrow to pick jujubes, and I will leave two for you."

He Zhen yelled: "Yi'an, you don't talk about loyalty at all!"

No matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't be more stubborn than his little aunt, so he had to be a little book boy for Zhaoren. Zhaoren read the accounts, but if there were doubts, he didn't bother to calculate them, so he threw them to him.

Fortunately, Hezhen Xiaoxiang is his father, talented and intelligent, and these arithmetics can't trouble him.Rao and Zhen also complained: "Little aunt is using me like this, sooner or later it will drain my efforts, causing me to age prematurely, to grow hair prematurely, and to become a little old man!"

Most of the family members couldn't understand his idioms and allusions, but the little old man could still understand a few words, and couldn't help laughing.Xiao'e said: "The lady just told me to bring dates and walnuts for you to eat when the young master came back."

The tribute dates sent by people from Beijing are as big as pure fists, freshly sealed in jars and hidden in the cellar, to entertain guests when they come, and to provide snacks for everyone on weekdays.

There are also dried dates, which are bright red and fragrant, and are sweeter than fresh dates.In the first half of the day, Hezhen followed Zhaoren to deal with the craftsmen, and Lily said that he would make up their minds for them, and asked Lanniu and Xiao'e to grab some dried red dates and wash them, cut them open, took out the date cores, and then put half of the walnut kernels on it. A small snack.

Xiao'e also said: "Young master, do you want to eat steamed food, or just eat it like this?"

The steamed ones are softer and the dried ones are more crispy. He Zhen said: "I just eat it like this to make it sweeter." Then he asked, "Are you brothers and sisters eating?"

Han Zhi ran over and hugged He Zhen's waist and said, "Brother, we are waiting for you!"

The younger the baby, the easier it is to be distracted by the accent. Hanzhi has already learned the local accent in the past few days in the town, saying "li" in one mouthful, so frightened He Zhen hurriedly said: "Speak well!"

Hanzhi is not even afraid of the emperor and the prince, how can he be afraid of a grandson?Shouting: "Hurry up, hurry up, let's eat together!" Pulling He Zhen, they climbed onto the kang—a small stool was placed by the side of the kang for them to climb up and down, otherwise she would be about the same height as the edge of the kang , It's really not easy to climb up.

The red dates are crisp and mellow, the walnut kernels are fried, the astringency is gone, and only the sweetness remains in the mouth.He Zhen had calculated the accounts for a day, and his forehead hurt. Now he was sitting on the warm kang, eating snacks and drinking citrus tea, while his younger siblings beat his back and shoulders attentively, and he felt so comfortable that he didn't want to move.

There is only one problem, the brothers and sisters are either pinching him, or beating him until he screams in pain...

It got dark early in winter, and not long after they came back, a plate of dates with walnuts was not finished, and the sky darkened, and there were scattered snowflakes outside.

The barbarian girl put the hot soup pot on the kang table, and everyone gathered around to eat.

In the countryside, you don't have to pay attention to eating and sleeping, just don't chew and spill rice grains while talking.A group of children were chirping and chatting, you hit me, I squeezed you, they were so happy.

Ruchun can also crawl very fast now, he can't eat yet, he crawls around in the crowd to make trouble, and from time to time there will be a lot of shouts: "Brother Chun, don't touch my soup bowl!" "Let go, this is not edible !" "Oh, why did you bite my toes!" "Auntie, Brother Chun is holding on to my chopsticks..."

The whole room was full of excitement, Song Haonian and his wife were smiling, Zhaoren said: "It's a good thing I don't get married, I don't have to deal with these Omen stars in the future!"

Hanfang said: "Little aunt, you have to deal with us!"

Zhaoren was taken aback, and gritted his teeth: "Yes, no matter whether I get married or not, whenever my brothers give birth to a little demon star, I will always have a headache!"

The whole family here is busy, when someone knocks on the door suddenly, it is said that during dinner time, every family stays by the stove, there is no reason to bother other people's houses, this person does not know why.

Li Chouwa went home these two days, and another servant was sitting in the back seat and was also eating. It was a pot of mutton soup with vermicelli, frozen tofu and other things in it, which was fragrant and warm.

The housekeepers added more chili and pepper to the pot, and they were sweating from eating, and their faces were flushed. When they heard the knock on the door, they froze when they went to open the door: "Song Haoshi, what are you doing here?"

To be a servant for others, one must not only be honest and willing to work, but also know the basics of the world.Song Haonian's grievances with his adoptive parents and his family are not a secret in the town, everyone knows it.

The relationship between Song Haoshi and Song Haonian has never been good. They were better than just random acquaintances in those years when they were brothers.

Braving the wind and snow, he knocked on the door suddenly, not knowing what to do.

Seeing that Song Haoshi's face was livid, and he didn't know whether it was because of the cold or something else, he said in a low voice, "I have something to ask Da Nian."

At this time, the owner's family was eating, and the servant had good eyesight and would not disturb him by letting him in, so he took him to the back seat and asked him if he would eat mutton vermicelli soup.

Song Haoshi shook his head with an ugly face: "Don't eat!"

He didn't appreciate it, the servant himself ate until his belly was full, he heard the sound inside that he had finished eating, then led him into the living room, and said to Song Haonian: "Song Haojie came to talk to you."

Song Haonian was also stunned, not knowing what this person came to him for, after all, he was just a guest, and he was about to go to the living room after tidying up, but He Zhen had already followed, and whispered: "Second Uncle, I'm going too! "

He Zhen is not like his younger brothers and sisters who only know how to eat and play. He knows that his second uncle has been wronged in that family, and he is going to support his second uncle!

Hey, why did I start saying "mile" too?He Zhen frowned in distress.
