The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

After a night of ups and downs, in the early morning of the next day, Liu Xianglian and the third sister You naturally got up late.Fortunately, the Liu family is weak, except for Liu Xianglian, there are no parents-in-law to serve, and no sister-in-law to deal with, so although the two get up later, it is not a hindrance.

After washing and dressing, Liu Xianglian and her three sisters first opened the ancestral hall to worship Liu's father and Liu mother, and then went back to their room for breakfast.

What Sanjie You didn't expect was that all the meals on the table were made according to Sanjie's taste, a bowl of green rice porridge mixed with mung beans, a plate of steamed stuffed bun with tofu skin, and some snacks The side dishes, although not very rich, are also delicate and delicious.And has a homely atmosphere.

While serving porridge for Third Sister You, Liu Xianglian looked at Third Sister You with a smile and said, "I don't know if you are used to the cooking skills at home."

Third Sister You took the sweet white porcelain porridge bowl that Liu Xianglian handed over, and said with a smile: "This is already very good."

After that, he took a sip of the porridge, took another bite with a tofu skin bun, and said with a smile, "It's delicious."

When Liu Xianglian heard the words, she just picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating with Miss You.

After dinner, all the maids took away the bowls and chopsticks, and Liu Xianglian ordered the big and small stewards in the mansion to come and see the grandma.

Because of the simplicity of the Liu family and the fact that it was a newly prosperous family, except for one or two old housekeepers and nuns, the rest were purchased slowly by Liu Xianglian in the past two years.Facing the master at this moment, it is natural to be respectful and diligent, so there is no need to worry about being a slave to deceive the master.Besides, with Third Sister You's family background and temperament, there is no need to worry about this.

After the nuns in charge dispersed, Liu Xianglian took Sanjie You's hand into the small study in the inner courtyard, and took out a few books and land deeds from the Duobao Pavilion and put a large bunch of keys into Sanjie You. In front of my son, I smiled and said: "This is something I got when I suppressed bandits in the south. Some of them are jewelry, gold and silver, antique calligraphy and paintings, and some of these shops. What Xihai Yanzi bought is just to take advantage of his position and sell some Western gadgets. You just keep it."

The third sister You took over the account in Liu Xianglian's hand, turned it over a little bit, and then got a little fussy.Immediately he smiled and said, "Such a large family business, if it's an ordinary war to suppress bandits, I'm afraid I can't save it?"

Liu Xianglian smiled shyly, put her arms around Third Sister You's slender waist and said with a smile: "It's all a coincidence. Because I worked as an internal response in the pirate's nest in those years, in order to win people's trust, I naturally have to do something. Later, I deceived the gangsters, and then I also knew where the treasures were hidden on the island. So I took advantage of the time when the imperial court sent troops to suppress the pirates, and I hid some things... God pity, my hard work is also to support my family Life is not."

After a pause, Liu Xianglian smiled again: "I know, when it comes to managing the world economy, I'm not as good as you. But as a man, I always want to make money to support my family. I can feel at ease only if you keep these things."

After all, seeing Miss You's disapproval, Liu Xianglian said with a smile: "Both my parents died since I was a child, and I have no one to discipline me. I have always been a casual person. I have never been willing to pay for money. Things are troublesome. If I have a penny today, I will spend it. Tomorrow, I will be ashamed in my pocket, and I will try to find a way to get rid of it. If I hadn’t met you, I’m afraid that my life would be nothing more than a wandering, penniless person. It's all thanks to you that I can occupy a high position and have a beautiful wife in my arms. Since I said that I would give up everything to marry you, now it's time to keep my word. Don't back down, anyway, from now on From now on, you and I will be of one mind, and you are the mistress of the house, so it is only natural for you to be the housekeeper."

Seeing this, the third sister You didn't refuse any more.I had to collect the house title deed booklet.

The second day was the return of the three dynasties.The Chen family started to make arrangements early in the morning, and by the time Liu Xianglian and the third sister You came to the door, Yiying's family affairs had already been taken care of.

Mrs. You was talking with Bao'er in her arms in the upper room.Because of You Sanjie's return home, You Ziyu and Bao Geer both stayed at home on leave.Many elder brothers, sisters-in-law and girls of the You clan also came.It was heard that the young couple came to the door, and all the nephews and nephews of the You family welcomed them. Their enthusiasm and thoughtfulness really flattered people.

The third sister You got off the sedan chair inside the second gate, and all the women and maids of the family came up to greet her, surrounded by the third sister You, and entered the inner courtyard.At that time, the girls and sisters-in-law from the other rooms of You's house were also welcome in the courtyard. Seeing the shadow of the third sister You, they all joined together affectionately, shouting sisters and sisters non-stop.

Surrounded by the third sister You, they went into the upper room. After seeing Mrs. You and Mrs. Chen, and several other elders, they sat down and had tea.

Everyone knows that Liu Xianglian is deeply favored by the emperor, and has a high position and power.This time, the king of Nan'an County was sent back to Beijing to retire because of the war in Xihai Yanzi. I am afraid that all the power in Xihai Yanzi will fall into Liu Xianglian's hands in the future.

Everyone knows that Xihaiyanzi is a rich land, and the Western Regions and merchants of this dynasty all trade here, exchange what is needed, and now the sage encourages maritime merchants, and has already restored the shipping department in the Jiangnan area. The location is convenient, and the Shibo Department should have been restored in the first place, but the king of Nan'an County held the power, and the sage refused to give way to the feudal king.Now that the king of Nan'an County was defeated and captured, and he was redeemed back to Beijing because of his marriage, he can't do his best in Xihai Yanzi. Encourage commerce.They want to take advantage of this to make some profits, so how can they not curry favor with Liu Xianglian and his wife?

So today, the third sister You returned home three times, and the You family has such a complete set of talents.

It is true that there is nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall.

Third Sister You was amused in her heart, but on the surface she flirted with these people.On this day of great joy, she always didn't want to cause trouble.Fortunately, she has always been a well-rounded person, although she didn't want to promise any real benefits to the people, but she was eloquent and witty, and she coaxed everyone to their fullest.

The general and general had finished the home banquet, and the husband and wife decided that it would not be too late to return home, so they had to get up and say goodbye. These people also went home to think about it carefully, and then they realized that what Miss You said was beautiful, but nothing was useful. Did not say.Immediately stunned and angry, he scolded the third sister You for being treacherous.

However, Third Sister You never cared what these outsiders thought.The husband and wife waited until the next day after returning home, and went to the Chen family to visit their grandfathers, grandmothers, uncles, aunts, cousins, and cousins.

Uncle Chen Gui regards Third Sister You as his own, and everyone in the Chen family loves Third Sister You like a treasure.In the heart of Third Sister You, even though her mother had already brought their sisters into the You family, she always felt that she belonged to the Chen family.It's not that he has no feelings for You's family, after all, it's not as easy and smooth as in Chen's family.It's like the difference between being a guest at another home and being at home.

This time I went back to the Chen family to visit the elder brothers and sister-in-law, and the third sister You was more at ease than when she returned to the You family.Mrs. Chen even hugged her third sister and asked a lot of secrets about her boudoir in a low voice. Aunt Feng, mother Chen, second sister You and her cousin were also joking and joking. .

Not only the third sister You in the inner house felt this way, but also Liu Xianglian, who was talking with her uncle and cousin outside, also felt this way.

The young couple stayed at Chen's house until the sun was setting, and they didn't go home until after dinner.At that time, the second brother-in-law Liang Fengrao and his cousin Chen Wei patted Liu Xianglian on the shoulder and made an appointment for the next drink.Liu Xianglian responded with a smile.After getting on the carriage, I began to report to Third Sister You.The third sister You was so happy that she pursed her lips.

Let's not talk about how sweet the young couple are.It is only said that since the third sister got married, the Chen family also made a marriage for the fourth girl-because of the imperial order of the Duke of Shanguo, his wife died again. Allotment to Shan Guogong as his successor—not to mention anything else, that Shan Guogong was not in his thirties when Jia Zhen lost his wife. Now that he has grandchildren, Shan Guogong is already in the age of hearing, and the fourth girl The next year was only 15 years old.Chen can't afford to lose this person.I also don't want to be talked about her as a stepmother prostitute for glory.

Therefore, after a few rounds of persuasion and persuasion, Mrs. You was able to dispel the thoughts of Mrs. You's mother and daughter. Mrs. Chen was afraid that Mrs. You and Mrs. You Ziyu would make something wrong on a whim, so she gathered her energy and finalized the fourth girl's marriage—— There is no appointment of noble children from the aristocratic family of the Gongmen Houfu.What was decided was a Juren whose ancestral home was in the south of the Yangtze River and who came to Beijing for the scientific examination.He is only 17 years old this year, and he is a student of Chen Gui's friend Xu Zichuan.Sheng has beautiful features, gentle manners, and a well-off family. It is said that his family has five hundred hectares of fertile land and two thousand looms.Even if she can't go to high school this time, she will definitely not have to worry about food and clothing when the fourth girl is married.

With Xu Zichuan's wife as the mediator, and the You family is a family of poets and officials, the marriage was finalized soon.In order to show their sincerity, the elders of the man's family went to Beijing to visit everyone in You's family.

Aunt Lan didn't expect Chen to be indifferent to the fourth girl on weekdays, but to be so painstaking in planning when it comes to major life events, which is better than the fourth girl's grandmother and father.Immediately, grateful to Dade, he led the four girls to kowtow.

The fourth girl didn't like this aunt when she was a child, she only thought that the aunt had a strong nature, since she married into You's family, she and her aunt had no good life.However, after so many years, the Chen family not only provided her with reading and writing, but also managed to withstand the persuasion of Mrs. You and You Ziyu, and chose this good marriage for her.

As the saying goes, Lu Yao knows the horsepower and sees people's hearts for a long time, and the fourth girl also kowtowed to Mrs. Chen with tears in her eyes, and finally called her mother in her mouth——

The Chen family who called out was disgusting.Quickly sent Aunt Lan and Fourth Miss away.

Because Mrs. Chen made a marriage arrangement for the fourth girl, it also touched Mrs. You, who came to visit at home.

After Youshi went home, he also started to make arrangements for Xichun.After all, Xichun is only one year younger than the fourth girl in You Mansion, and she will be thirteen this year.

The You family of Ningguo began to give the girl a look at other people, and the news reached the Rongguo Mansion, and Mother Jia felt that it was not good and remained indifferent.Then he urged Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang to look at Yingchun and Tanchun.Because Xing Xiuyan lived in the Yingchun room, Jia's mother had to ask a few words.

Mrs. Xing didn't pay much attention to the matter of welcoming the spring, but she fell in love with Xue Biao for Xing Xiuyan.After all, Xue's family is rich in millions, Xue Biao is now also responsible for the imperial merchant's errand, besides, Xue Bian is no more domineering and bastard than Xue Bian, but he is also a good young man with handsome features and gentle manners.The most important thing is that Xue's family is well-off, and the brothers and sisters of Xue's family are kind. If Xing Xiuyan married, Uncle Xing would have gone to beat him up. It is estimated that Xue Biao would not do too much for the sake of his in-laws.

At that time, Mrs. Xing will be able to get rid of the burden of her younger brother, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

Mrs. Xing's calculations were good enough, she immediately found Aunt Xue and proposed to marry the two families.Because Baochai is about to marry into the Rongguo Mansion, Aunt Xue is happy to have a close relationship.Besides, Aunt Xue has also met Xing Xiuyan, and knows that this girl is not mean and mean like her aunt, but is a good girl with a beautiful appearance and good character.What's more, he is knowledgeable, sensible, and open-minded, only slightly inferior in his family life.

I don't know if nephew Xue Biao is willing or not.
