One of the Red Buildings: Three Thousand Miles

Chapter 62

When they started discussing the details, Mrs. Shi found out that there was nothing wrong with his family at all. The royal relatives and nobles were married, and everything had its own etiquette system. The new daughter-in-law, there is no place for them to do the rest.Even the rituals such as marriage proposals have to wait for the emperor to issue a decree and then be arranged by the Ministry of Rites.

In short, the Shi family only needs to be ecstatic about marrying Princess Mulan, and the Xianwang Palace will do the rest.

Therefore, when Madam came out from Prince Xian's Mansion, she basically brought nothing to do back home, but brought Mrs. Wan.When Mrs. Wan arrived at Shi's house, Xuanxuan was in a hurry, ready to drink and eat, and took out a newly made cushion to put it on, looking for a chair that was neither high nor low, and brought it to Mrs. Shi's room. Mrs. Liu Wan sat down.

When she got home, Mrs. Wan smiled and said to Mrs. Shi, "You don't need to be so troublesome, you can also let Xuanxuan rest for a while. Judging by this posture, I probably got busy before I entered the door."

Mrs. Shi was very proud, and said with a smile, "Auntie, you come to the door in person, which is what we can't do when we are small. If we can't make you stay comfortably, wouldn't our sin be even greater. Besides, are you Darling, talkative, if Xuanxuan can't even serve you well, she will leave this door in the future, and it will be like this."

Mrs. Wan nodded Mrs. Shi's nose, "You girl, you will get cheap and act like a good boy. You are obviously happy, and you are still hypocritical here."

Entering the room with a smile, Mrs. Shi did not want to lie down on the bed, but Mrs. Wan insisted not to allow it. In the end, Mrs. Shi had to sit halfway on the bed. Mrs. Wan sat on the stool beside the bed, pulled the busy Xuanxuan past her, and ordered Said, "Now you are the only one in charge of the family. Your mother is not young, so you can always keep an eye on her. Good boy, I know it's difficult for you. You have to take on the burden of housekeeping at such a young age. Now your uncle Your mother's marriage, your brother's marriage, I am afraid that your mother is powerless, you should be more tired, and you can ask me directly if you don't understand and don't want to tire your mother, there is nothing now Your mother This belly is precious. Do you know that?"

Xuanxuan obediently nodded and agreed, "Grandma, Xuanxuan can save you."

Mrs. Wan smiled and said, "Hey, good boy, your mother didn't hurt you for nothing."

Mrs. Shi didn't want to just lie down like this, and wanted to fight for something for herself, "Auntie, I'm not as weak as you say. Besides, she has a child, and she was let go to do it in the past just to test it." She, it’s not that I’ve been watching from behind. Now it’s almost auspicious day, and the mat tent and even the fireworks and firecrackers haven’t been prepared yet. If you say I don’t ask, Ru Hai’s wedding will go wrong. Well, I haven't been talked about by my future sister-in-law yet. Don't worry, I know it well, there's no way I won't not ask about this sea-like marriage."

Mrs. Wan gave Madam Shi a blank look, "Be more honest with me, as if you were still in the past!" Madam Shi ignored her after finishing speaking, and then explained a bunch of precautions to Xuanxuan, and Xuanxuan wrote them down one by one.After noon, Mrs. Wan didn't stay for dinner at Shi's house, but went back to Wan's house.

After Mrs. Wan left, Xuanxuan had time to come to Madam Shi and ask about Madam's visit to the palace today.Mrs. Shi smiled wryly, "What else can I do, your royal sister-in-law is sure."

Seeing this, Xuanxuan knew that Mrs. Shi was worried that her future daughter-in-law would not be easy to get along with.Originally, Hou Xuan was the eldest son of Shi, and he would live in the future family who would inherit the Shi family. Mrs. Shi, Master Shi would definitely live with Hou Xuan's family for a long time at that time.Originally, Madam wanted to find Hou Xuan someone who everyone liked. The girl was good-looking enough to be worthy of her son. The girl's family background could not be particularly outstanding, so that in the future, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would not prevent the girl from disobeying discipline because of her high birth. It will be beneficial for everyone to get along with each other for a long time in the future.I don't want a princess to drop it, everything has changed.

"Mother, it may not be what you think. As the saying goes, the same kind of rice raises all kinds of people. Who said that the royal family can't produce a good girl who is well-educated and well-mannered? Besides, she is a princess after all. , that is the only princess in the current dynasty, it may benefit my brother a lot in the officialdom in the future." Xuanxuan could only persuade Mrs. Shi in this way.Life is like this, if you can't change it, you have to adjust your mentality to accept life.

How could Mrs. Shi not know that Xuanxuan was speaking words of persuasion, so she waved her hand and said that she was tired, so Xuanxuan could only back down.

Back in her own room, when she entered the door, she saw Daiyu clattering with an abacus in her arms, pausing every now and then to write and draw on the account book with a pen.

Daiyu noticed someone coming in, looked up and saw that it was Xuanxuan, she put down her work, and said to Xuanxuan, "I really don't know if I don't ask, I will be shocked if I ask. Dad is getting married, and there are still many things to prepare, but it's just now , we have already spent no less than 1 taels of silver." Daiyu said that this amount was calculated together with the betrothal gift to the Du family.But for Daiyu, who was a housekeeper for the first time and had been supervising the kitchen for several months, she just learned the price of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, this amount was indeed not small.

Xuanxuan sat down, picked up the account book and looked at it, and said casually, "These are okay, just now I listened to my mother, we still have a lot of things that haven't been prepared. The big head is still looking behind. It's just the wine, and The fireworks and firecrackers are not paid, so it must be a big expense."

Daiyu looked at Xuanxuan carefully, and asked cautiously, "Xuanxuan, is there something unhappy?"

Xuanxuan sighed, and pulled Daiyu to pour out the bitter water. It was a happy event for Mrs. Shi to be pregnant, and it was also a happy event for her brother Hou Xuan to marry a wife.Uncle will continue the string soon, which is even more happy.But in this series of happy events, she was the most embarrassing one.Mrs. Shi definitely can't go to the secular world, as long as she can guarantee a smooth delivery of the child, the entire Shi family will be Amitabha, who would dare to ask her to do anything.

Mrs. Shi, the mistress of the house, can't do it, but things won't be less because of this. On the contrary, because Hou Xuan wants to marry the princess of Xianwang's mansion, things will only be more and not less.The first one, Xuanxuan is worried about waiting for the dowry, what kind of dowry the Shi family will give, so that it will not lose the courtesy, not lose face, and make people not feel that Xiaoshi's family is particularly rich .besides……

In short, there are too many things that Xuanxuan needs to think about and do, so that she is in a mess of worries now.

Daiyu became Hui Xuanxuan's confidant sister, and after listening to Xuanxuan's bitterness, she said, "So what can I do, you are the pillar of the family now, and you don't worry about anyone else. Besides, Dad is getting married soon. Yes, my little mother will be able to enter the door soon. After my little mother enters the door, we will have someone to discuss it. One more person is always more energy. She can help us with many things that you can't show your face. "

"Little Mom?" Xuanxuan grabbed the word and looked at Daiyu with a half-smile, "Yo, I don't know when I called you."

Daiyu stretched out her hand and slapped Xuanxuan, pretending to be fierce and said, "What's the matter, can't you?"

Xuanxuan laughed out loud, "It's okay, it's just that you got better too quickly. Didn't it just correspond to a few letters, why, you were tamed so quickly?"

Daiyu blushed with shame, got up and ran away, hurried back after running out, picked up the account books on the table and left.

Xuan Xuan lay on the table and laughed.It was her intention to give Daiyu an idea, but she didn't want it to be true, so Daiyu really made friends with Du Shu.

In fact, things are like this, first of all, Daiyu was flustered and always worried, thinking that after Lin Ruhai reunited, she would no longer have a foothold in the Lin family.It's okay to have no place to stand on, but at worst, she'll really stay at Shi's house, anyway, she's quite used to living at Shi's house, and she's more comfortable than living at Weiyanglin's house back then.But in the end, father and daughter are of the same heart, thinking that if Lin Ruhai really listened to Du Shu's instigation and stopped loving herself, didn't want to see her for ten days and a half months, and even completely forgot about herself after having another child, then Lin Daiyu is really It's so tragic.

Knowing that Daiyu was worried, Xuanxuan thought of a very simple and effective solution.Just let Daiyu write a letter to Du Shu, don’t need to talk about specific issues, just talk about your own preferences, those illusory poems and songs (this is Xuanxuan’s incomprehensible jealousy of Daiyu’s literary talent words), after Du Shu replies, you can use this to see how Du Shu is.There is a voice on the human side, and the mentality revealed between the lines is definitely not something that can be faked casually.

Daiyu wrote it down and did so.Xuanxuan didn't know much about what happened afterwards, after all, there were indeed many things to do every day.But judging from the current situation, Daiyu and Du Shu get along very happily.Daiyu is a smart and sensitive person, Xuanxuan is very relieved that she can identify with her existence.

Daiyu didn't need to worry, but she was different. Xuanxuan sighed in her heart, stood up, and was going to go to the warehouse to take a good look at how many things in the house could be put in the betrothal gift list.

In the evening, Master Shi came back early, and after dinner, he specially accompanied Mrs. Shi for a walk in the garden of the mansion, and never let Mrs. Shi take an extra step.

Mrs. Shi had never been treated like this before, she was not used to it, and said with a smile that Master Shi took it too seriously.Master Shi is not the case, and said sternly, "That's exactly what it should be. Madam has worked hard for my Shi family for many years. It was not easy to give birth to the last, and now it is even more important to be careful from the beginning."

Mrs. Shi blushed and received Master Shi's care. When chatting in the room, she thought about Hou Xuan's marriage. Mrs. Shi said quietly, "Forget it, it's not necessarily a bad thing. This daughter-in-law has a high status. Those few minor marriages may still be helpful. As far as Xuanxuan is concerned, when she gets a foothold in her husband's family in the future, she will not be afraid of being bullied about her family background."

Master Shi looked at Mrs. Shi, wondering, "It's all because the husband embarrasses the lady."

Mrs. Shi frowned, "Master, what you said is wrong. Our son is outstanding and has won the favor of the emperor and lord. Since the royal family values ​​Hou Xuan, we as parents naturally have to support it. However, after much deliberation, I just feel that it will be difficult for Xuan Xuan. I was busy with her uncle's marriage, but also with her brother's. This girl used to be a fool all day long, and she finally got her senses, but she didn't have a day of leisure. I really don't know if it's good or bad .”

Master Shi thought for a moment, "Indeed, I watched Xuanxuan and Daiyu's busy wedding with cold eyes. Both girls have lost a lot of weight. Now my wife must not be able to take care of housework. The trivial matters in this family really need People on top. Otherwise, let Mo Xuan come over to do his filial piety, which can be regarded as reassuring me, and Xuanxuan can also have some hands free."

Master Shi looked at Mrs. Shi cautiously.What he meant was to ask Mo Xuan to come over every day to fulfill his filial piety, and it would be best to make fun of Mrs. Shi all day long, so that Mrs. Shi could see Mo Xuan more. There have been many happy events in the family recently, maybe when Madam is in a good mood, she can solve Mo Xuan's future by the way.Even if it is not resolved, it is good to improve the relationship between the aunt and concubine.Always so stiff, in the end it can only be Mo Xuan.

Mrs. Shi naturally knew what Master Shi was thinking, she was amused in her heart, but she pretended to be hesitant on her face.Master Shi immediately became nervous when he saw this, "If Madam doesn't want to, then forget it. Everything depends on Madam's mood."

Seeing Master Shi's nervous look, Mrs. Shi burst out laughing, and said, "Okay, okay, I see Master Shi is nervous. How about this, let Mo Xuan come to me every day in the future, and I can order her by the way, too. It can make Xuanxuan feel at ease to prepare other things, and I will have someone to take care of her, so I don't have to worry about the future."

Mrs. Shi thought better, didn't Master Shi want to flatter Mo Xuan, she definitely couldn't let Mo Xuan come out to steal Xuanxuan's limelight right now.That being the case, then pull Mo Xuan to her eyes, and she will watch for herself, to see what else Mo Xuan can do!
