Enter the Room

Master Yan felt that he had seen the right person and was very happy. The two of them drank until the middle of the night. Mr. Yan rested at Xiong's house for the whole night, and returned to Jingdezhen early the next morning with the large and small bags that Mr. Xiong had forced on him.

He did not go back to Yan's house, but went to Song Jiyun first.

"Master Xiong said that he has never changed his original intention." Master Yan acted as the intermediary and sent a message to the Song family, "Your family can choose their three children, but it would be best if they can marry their eldest son."

At this time, both in the court and among the people, primogeniture was the system. When the family is divided, the eldest brother will be in charge of the sacrificial fields and charity village on behalf of the clan members, and can get a large amount of property.

Mr. Xiong was very sincere in asking for his eldest son’s hand in marriage.

A gentleman does not care about his deeds.

Song Jiyun and Qian couldn't help but look at the Xiong family differently, and the only son of the Song family who was the same age as the Xiong family was Song Jiyu.

"Then please trouble Master Yan to go to Wuyuan again!" Qian said with a smile, "The marriage is done, and I will ask the child to make shoes for you."

"Easy to say, easy to say!" Mr. Yan was very satisfied with the result, and happily drove the mule cart to Wuyuan.

Song Jiyun and Mr. Qian invited the wife of the eleventh son of the Song family to come and talk.

"Such a thing happened in the clan in the past. I wonder what the regulations were?" The three of them were drinking tea and eating snacks in the backyard pavilion in the bright spring, watching the little maids picking the winter jasmine flowers that had just revealed their stamens. "We I have never experienced anything like this, I’m afraid I have to trouble you to come forward!”

Mr. Song Shiyi’s family had some surprises.

The Xiong family is one of the most wealthy families in Wuyuan. Most of the people who burn kilns in Jingdezhen buy pine firewood from their family. The Xiong family's wealth and family tradition are hard to fault. Song Jiyu was able to marry into the Xiong family. Although it was not as good as Song Jiyun, it was still a good marriage that everyone envied.

This is really in line with the old saying, these days are getting more and more prosperous.

Qian has these two sons-in-law, no one will dare to look down on her in the future.

Mr. Song Shiyi's family said hurriedly: "My wife and the eldest lady are too polite. If you come to me to talk about this matter, you are looking down on me, so there is no need to bother."

Then she talked about her usual routine: "It's the same as any ordinary marriage. The horoscopes are first combined, and then the horoscopes approved by the fortune teller are offered to the ancestral tablet. If there is no pain or disaster within three days, the matchmaker will Please, exchange Geng Tie. We only formally discuss the marriage certificate, betrothal gift and dowry, etc. That will have to wait until after the filial piety is removed.

"However, we are ten miles apart and the local customs are different. We have to discuss this with the Xiong family to see if they have any specialties."

Mr. Qian nodded.

The matchmaker here refers to the witness, not the matchmaker who makes peace between the two families. The matchmaker is easy to talk to, a charming woman will do, but the witness needs to be someone with high moral character and respect.

Mr. Qian felt that he had to ask Song Jiyun to make a decision.

The Eleventh Master's family said, "Why don't you ask your eldest sister-in-law to help you find one? My eldest sister-in-law even knows high-ranking officials such as the Chief Envoy, the Inspector-General, and the Commander-in-Chief. When the time comes, the Xiong family will look up to them if they come to marry each other. The second lady glanced at her. You know, the life of this couple is just like the windy one. Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind."

He also said: "We are all people who have been here before. I don't think you know what's going on."

In the past, they called Yuan Yunzhong "Master Yuan", but now they call him "Uncle".

Qian was displeased.

Don't say that Yuan Yunzhong and Song Jiyun were a fake unmarried couple. Even if they were real, their family would never let their uncle support his mother's family like this.

"How can any brother-in-law hire a matchmaker for his sister-in-law? Is there no one in our Song family?" She frowned and said, "Besides, each husband and wife have their own ways of getting along. If we don't show sincerity, we should first show off the ring. With such an attitude, no matter how good the marriage is, it may not last long."

Mr. Eleven's family smiled miserably.

Isn't she doing this for the second lady of the Song family?

Logically speaking, it is not good to ask your uncle to help hire a matchmaker, but who makes your eldest uncle the governor?

Can this ordinary uncle be compared with the governor's uncle?

But now that Song Jiyun is gaining more and more power, even if she is the elder of the Qian family, it is hard for her to make the Qian family unhappy.

She revealed the matter in a few words: "What you said makes sense. It's just that the calculation of the eight characters is also very particular. Although the abbot of the Eight Immortals' Temple is quite notorious, I always feel that the Taoist priests of Bao'en Temple are better. That’s right. It depends on whether you are familiar with each other.”

Naturally, Qian couldn't say anything more, so the two began to discuss whose horoscope was more accurate.

Song Jiyun couldn't say anything, so he and the little maids made a wreath with bright yellow winter jasmine flowers.

In Yinyu Hall, Yuan Yunzhong was taking Song Jiuxue to test fly the kite he bought from Hukou.

He also told Song Jixue: "Everything is possible. If you don't want to make a fool of yourself, for some things, it is best to check before you start, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Song Jiuxue nodded absently.

Yuan Yunzhong thought for a moment, handed the spool in his hand to Song Jiuxue, and said warmly: "What are you thinking about?"

This is already the fifth kite they have flown, and Song Jiuxue is already able to master the flying line skillfully.

She pulled the fly line loosely and tightly, and said in a dull voice: "Second sister is going to marry and go to Wuyuan. After my sister leaves with you, Xiaosi and I will be the only ones left at home to accompany our mother. I, I I’m a little scared. If someone comes to bully us again, I won’t be able to beat them or scold them..."

Yuan Yunzhong laughed, scratched her nose and said, "Who told you that your second sister is going to marry in Wuyuan?"

"No one told me." Song Jiuxue slumped her shoulders and said, "I heard it. Mr. Yan was the matchmaker, and my sister and my mother also called Mr. Song Shiyi's aunt to come and arrange the engagement."

"You little clever guy!" Yuan Yunzhong touched her head and said, "If I go with your sister, I will definitely take you with me. You forgot that I said I would find a master for you. "

"Really!" Song Jiyun jumped up happily.

"When did I lie to you?" Yuan Yunzhong said calmly.

"Then let's hang ourselves with a hook." Song Jiuxue held out her little finger, "We also need to take my mother and Xiao Si with us."

"Okay!" Yuan Yunzhong said, holding out his little finger.

Song Jixue and Yuan Yunzhong "stamped the seal" and went to fly kites with great joy.

Yuan Yunzhong suddenly looked calm.

He went to Song Jiuyun.

Song Jiyun was in the accounting room looking at the bill that Zhou Zheng brought over.

"The boss really got it right," Zhou Zheng stood in front of Song Jiuyun's desk with excitement and said, "Liangyu Kiln Factory has not sold a single cup, dish or plate in the past few days. I heard that they are planning to lower the price. But Our first furnace of dragon kiln has also been fired, and we just need to wait for it to cool down before packing it into boxes. When the time comes, we will lower their prices again, and even if they lower their prices, they will not be able to get orders."
