Chapter 181 Good things come in pairs
Seeing that he was so focused on it, Wantong had no choice but to remind him: "It will be the fifteenth day of August in one day. Have you delivered a gift yet?"
Wu Youwei kept writing: "Butler Lin Su has already made arrangements, and I will go to give gifts tomorrow!"
This gift-giving also needs to be non-stop, but then he thought, he seems to have no time...
Therefore, Wantong brought Wu Youwei into the capital again, and after reuniting with Butler Lin Su, everyone started to move. Fortunately, Wu Youwei was alone at home, and everyone knew that it was not easy for him, so he just went to The other places were sent to the two Zuoshi and Master Jikong after the housekeeper distributed the gifts. Everyone can understand that this year's autumn harvest is early, and each family is very busy.
However, Wu Youwei personally arranged things for Luo Lun, from grain to cloth, to various household items, as well as pens, ink, paper and inkstones, some newly-made books, etc., as well as money.
It was what Luo Lun needed, and Wu Youwei wanted him to study honestly without thinking about anything.
It made Luo Lun even more grateful, because Lin Su's housekeeper was careful, not only prepared a gift for Luo Lun, but also gave Luo Lun a sum of money to buy some gifts and send them to the residence of the two seat teachers.
You can also walk around with other people’s houses—for example, Zhang Sheng’s house is good. He has never been to Yang Yiqing’s house, so I can only ask Zhang Sheng to send it or give me directions...
Although Wu Youwei finds it troublesome, he also knows that in ancient times, this kind of favor was very necessary. Even in modern times, few people really lived through death [How about the door.
Humans are social animals, and it is impossible and unrealistic to be alone.
So even though I think it is troublesome to go to Li Lilly, I still have to continue to go, and I can't leave anyone behind.
The tense days are coming to August [-]th.
Mid-Autumn Festival
It was almost the same as last year, but there were more and more people. Wu Youwei gave everyone in the family three taels of silver for the festival, including the newborn son Wang Qianqian.
Wantong wasn't there that night, but he came the next day. Wu Youwei thought he had brought someone, but he only brought a few people, and they all knew each other!
"Let me tell you, did you tell Mudan about what I told you?" Wantong asked Wu Youwei for Wan Xinpeng's marriage.
"Where is the person who agreed to come?" Wu Youwei was also annoyed: "What's the point of thinking about my big maid instead of thinking about serious things all day long?"
After saying that, Wan Xinpeng, who came in after him, blushed.
"They are all exhausted. I asked them to rest for two days before coming back, and they brought back more things than I expected. You are waiting for two days." Wantong had no choice but to coax people and admit their mistake: "Besides, they are Jin Yiwei, you are back, of course you have to enter the palace in time for the festival..."
What are you doing in the palace?
Of course, report to the emperor, the world is peaceful, Jinyi Weiti rides out of Beijing to investigate and everything goes well.
Anyway, it's good and auspicious words, who wouldn't say it!
Although the emperor may not believe it, but for the holidays, superficial skills still have to be done...
"Okay." Wu Youwei wiped his face: "You guys sit here, I'll go see Mudan."
He stood up and left, leaving Wan Xinpeng nervously asking Wantong: "My lord, can it be done?"
"You don't like that peony?" Wantong straightened his face as soon as Wu Youwei left, and resumed his outward appearance.
"I like it!" Wan Xinpeng said: "But what if the girl doesn't like me? Didn't you hear what Mr. Wu said, when I get married, I'm from a good family...
I never thought in my life that I would marry a good family son as my wife.
His adoptive father said that it would be nice to marry a big girl with yellow flowers.
birth?
For a father and son like them, what background do they care about?
They are all orphans, orphans whose ancestors don't even know where they are, if the imperial court has a Yangshengtang, they would have starved to death long ago.
The old military household wanted to marry a widow but failed to marry. I heard that when discussing the marriage, a butcher also fell in love with the widow, and the widow married the butcher...
"You are Jin Yiwei." Wantong gave him these five words.
Wu Youwei went to the backyard, he was a bit speechless, in fact, he forgot about it when he came back...
But everyone came, so he bit the bullet and entered the gate of the backyard.
The backyard is a standard large courtyard house. From the very beginning, all the female relatives lived here, including maids and Xu Niang, as well as Wang Qianqian and her son.
Wu Youwei couldn't come once a year, but he came this time. The female family members in the backyard were so frightened that they crowded together, and Wang Qianqian was trembling with his son in his arms.
Wu Youwei was the first to comfort her: "Well, you hold the baby and sit down."
When Wang Qianqian heard Wu Youwei's tone, it shouldn't be a bad thing, so she stopped trembling immediately, and moved forward with the child in her arms: "It's rare for the master to have time today, this is Xiaobao."
It was the first time for Wu Youwei to meet the little milk doll, Xiao Baoer, who was almost a hundred days old.
Little Treasure is very cute. It can be said that there is no baby who is not cute. When he was in the swaddling baby, he opened his big black eyes, and when he saw Wu Youwei, he even grinned with a "toothless" smile.
Wu Youwei was captured right then!
Looking at the little baby helplessly, he smiled unconsciously: "It's so cute, is it called Xiaobao?"
"It's a baby name." Wang Qianqian hurriedly said: "The name hasn't been taken yet...
Moreover, she wanted the master to take it.
I just didn't speak, and I didn't have a chance to say it.
"Very good!" Wu Youwei touched the little guy's little hand, which was so soft that Wu Youwei didn't dare to squeeze it hard for fear of hurting the child: "It's almost a hundred days, isn't it?"
"It's early." The lady housekeeper said, "I was born on June 28, and it's only a hundred days old in September.
Wang Qianqian bowed her head, the housekeeper's wife is the number one in the backyard, the embroidery lady is the second in command, followed by the cook, and then the big maid.
This is different from the Wu Mansion, the maid is not allowed to go to the front yard without orders, and so on to seduce the master, she can't even meet face to face, how can she seduce?
"Oh, during those hundred days, it was so lively!" Wu Youwei laughed, "By the way, I'm here to find Peony.
Mudan was stunned: "Looking for a slave?"
Well, um, there's something with you...what do you think? "Wu Youwei was quite uncomfortable when he was making a match for someone for the first time. Seeing that Peony didn't say a word, he immediately said: "Don't worry, as long as you don't want to, I won't agree to anyone who proposes marriage. This is your life." event.You were a son of a good family when you got married, and this is your natal family.I will pay the dowry master.Don't have a psychological burden, marry if you want to marry, and let the guy outside get out if you don't want to marry! "
That guy was talking about Sun Xinpeng and Sun Liangji from outside.
"Master, who is the matchmaker?" Mudan asked.
He looked at Mudan: "It's Wantong Wan Zhongming who made the coal for you, and he is also the boss of Captain Sun.
And it's a boss who is several levels higher.
"Then why didn't the master say it then?" Peony bit her lip and continued to ask.
"At that time... I forgot to look for it... and I think you are still young..." Wu Youwei scratched his head: "Well, to be honest, I was afraid that he was not sincere, so I told him Now, if we, Mudan, want to get married, we have to be a decent lady, not a concubine or housekeeper for someone else. If he wants to marry you, he will come to propose marriage in a serious way, three matchmakers and six hires, at least Neither will work."
These days, Wu Youwei can only make arrangements for his family as much as possible. Girls must be married as the head of the house and be the first wife of others.
The little wife really has no human rights!
The concubine in ancient times was a servant girl!
Look at the original owner's mother, even if she was a good concubine from a good family, didn't the eldest wife kill her if she wanted to?
Besides him, the "Law of the Great Ming Dynasty" stipulates, "For all sons and sons of the concubine, unless there is official influence, the eldest son and grandson will be used first, and they will analyze the family property and property, regardless of wives, concubines and maidservants, and only the number of dependent children will be shared equally.
If he didn't have cheats on the things he got when he separated, how dare he spend so much money on real estate?It's already been emptied out!
In ancient times, when women were treated with various rules, would they still be able to live without being a big wife?
In the future, they will die quietly.
Remember that the dictionary says that the word "concubine" is a knowing word.
From Xin, from female.On the top of the oracle bone script is the ancient punishment knife, which means guilty and punished; below is the word "female".
Combined to represent a guilty woman.
The original interpretation of the ancient Shuowenjiezi is: female slave.
"Concubine" refers to female slaves in the pre-Qin and Qin and Han Dynasties. Because under the slave system, male masters often had relationships with female slaves, and even made female slaves the exclusive object of behavior of male masters, so the meaning of concubine began to change.
He didn't want his girls who had been with him for two years to become "concubines".
... I saw that he hadn't come for such a long time, so I thought he had given up..." He really thought so.
At that time, he promised to ask Peony, but he didn't ask, but it's just that, and Wantong and the others didn't pursue the answer... He thought it was just a matter of nothing!
Who knew he would come to your door today!
"Then now...does he want to understand?" Mudan asked.
"If the servant is married, the master will be the maid's family here, is it true?" Mudan looked at Wu Youwei.
"Of course!" Wu Youwei nodded, then froze: "You agreed?"
"Is there anything you can't agree to, slave?" Mudan smiled brightly, her beautiful face flushed, "He is a Jinyiwei after all.
And she's just a maid.
The master can find such a good marriage for her, what choice does she have?
reject?
Why refuse?
She is Jin Yiwei, even if it's just an ordinary Jin Yiwei, she became Jin Yiwei's wife, this is a wonderful thing she could only wish for!
Rose and her group of servant girls immediately looked at Mudan enviously, Jin Yiwei's wife!
Who dares to mess with Peony in the future?
It's fine if you agree..." Wu Youwei swallowed: "Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter, in the future he must treat you well, if he doesn't treat you well, I'll beat him up! "
To be honest, although Sun Xinpeng is Jinyiwei, there is nothing he wants, a reckless man, how beautiful is the peony?If he hadn't taken a fancy to Peony back then, he would rather find someone in charge to marry than be a concubine, and he would not have bought Peony back from the old Dong.
Facts have proved that in the past two years, Mudan and the others have become more honest than the other, and they really don't show off in front of him, which makes him very satisfied.
Moreover, they did a very good job at their jobs, which completely exceeded Wu Youwei's expectations. People are emotional animals, and he has seen how good the maids have been in the past two years. It is not a bad thing to find them a partner to marry.
However, at this time, the housekeeper's wife said: "But Mudan can't just marry like this, the family hasn't found someone to replace her..."
The housekeeper's wife is still not satisfied, the master said that the wind is the rain, and the maid said she would marry if she married, who will serve him in the future?
"No need!" Wu Youwei said, "There is no shortage of maidservants at home, at worst, we can buy two from Old Dong's, we can't delay Mudan.
The most beautiful girl is only a few years old. Peony is 17 years old this year. After going through the ancient marriage process, she will get married at this time next year. At that time, she will be married.
At an age like flowers and jade, and Wu Youwei can feel better in his heart, at least he is an adult...
"Yes..." The housekeeper still wanted to persuade her.
Wu Youwei said again: "Besides, it's not about getting married right away? After the three matchmakers and six engagements are completed, the wedding date will be set, at least by this time next year.
This is when Mudan is a young lady of Xiaojiabiyu, and it takes only one year to prepare for marriage. Generally, it takes three or four years for a large family to prepare.
Therefore, girls in ancient times usually began to see each other when they were thirteen or fourteen, became engaged at fifteen or sixteen, and married at seventeen or eighteen.
