Wen Family Has a Wife

"Someone has chosen? Whose girl?" Wen Shi was shocked, wondering if it is true that sincerity is true, she had been praying to God and praying to Buddha before going to bed last night, hoping that God would open his eyes and allow her elder son to be a good wife. It wasn't long before I opened my eyes that there was news!

Mrs. Li also pricked up her ears. After all, she is going to be a sister-in-law with her granddaughter in the future, so it would be good to help her granddaughter find out in advance.

Chen Ningya met the eager eyes of the two, covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, "This person is from Qing'an County just like us."

"It's also from Qing'an County? Who's the girl!" Mrs. Li reacted even more than Wen's. After going through all the possible girls in Qing'an County, she found that she couldn't guess which one it was.

Chen Ningya didn't play tricks with the two of them, she whispered, "It's Yuan Hong's daughter from his father's family."

"It's from the Hu family!" Mrs. Li widened her eyes in surprise, then thought about it, and then nodded slowly, "It's Hu Juren's eldest granddaughter! I remember hearing the children who were studying in the village say, Hu Juren's eldest granddaughter is about to reach the age of Ji."

"Exactly!" Chen Ningya explained with a smile: "This marriage was proposed by the second family, saying that her niece is a nice woman and has reached the age of marriage. If possible, write a letter to ask. They probably knew about this when they wrote the letter, and now we are just waiting for the news, but the marriage naturally requires the consent of both families.

Because my sister-in-law told me to find a girl for the children before, and I didn't know if the Hu family would agree, I didn't dare to tell you this in advance, because I was afraid that the result would be unsatisfactory, and then I would let you have a good time. Now that Nian Zhong's marriage is settled, I dare to speak out, no matter what I do, I won't get nothing. "

Wen said with a reproachful smile: "It's hard for you to think so much, but although I'm anxious, I can still figure it out. Fate is something that no one can say for sure. It's the best if it works out, and I won't be disappointed if it doesn't. I still have to thank his uncle and aunt for the child!"

"One family does not speak two different languages, as long as you don't blame me for not telling you in advance!" Chen Ningya breathed a sigh of relief.

"Look at what you said! Seeing that Yuan Hong's wife is also well-educated and reasonable, she is also filial to you, and her niece is probably not far behind. If this marriage can be completed, I will definitely thank you very much!" Wen Shi shook his head happily.

Chen Ningya turned pale with fright at the thought of Wen's thanks, "Forget it, there is no need to thank you!"

Last time, Mrs. Wen said that she wanted to thank them, because the Xie family had no family background, Mrs. Wen insisted on cooking several meals for Chen Ningya in a row, and kept saying that she was thin, so she insisted on watching her eat. , She was so overwhelmed that she had indigestion and drank a lot of hawthorn tea. After that, she was afraid of Wen's "real" thanks.

It's New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye,

Over the years, as the family has become more and more wealthy, they have to stay in the palace on New Year's Eve, but they seldom get together to have a good New Year's Eve dinner. For the banquet, I only sent some gifts from the emperor to the residences of the ministers.

As the emperor's Yue family, Anguo Gong's mansion naturally cannot do without these things. Before noon, Zhang Xi, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, came to the door with a group of palace people, and saluted Wen Youshan and Chen Ningya very graciously, saying: "Mr. , Madam, the emperor rewarded your family with eighteen dishes, eight bolts of cotton cloth from Beijiang, a box of newly opened white jade in Beijiang, and a box of gold ornaments."

Chen Ningya was already stunned when she heard the cotton cloth in Beijiang, and she was even more stunned when she heard the box of gold jewelry. She asked uneasily, "Eunuch Zhang, this Beijiang also paid tribute to cotton cloth this year? And what about the box of gold jewelry?" What happened to the gold jewelry?"

When did the emperor become so generous, but the New Year's rewards are so generous, could it be that he got rich?

Zhang Xi showed a meaningful smile and replied respectfully: "I know what Mrs. An Guo is thinking, that's right, cotton cloth was also produced in northern Xinjiang this year, but it is still different from the cotton cloth sent from Lingnan." I heard from the emperor that the cotton in the south of the Lingnan grows on tall trees, while the cotton in the north is short and small, and it is easy to hurt your hands when picking it.

However, I really don't know what kind of servant it is. Madam has these two kinds of cotton cloths in her hands, and she can ponder them when she has time. As for the box of gold ornaments..."

Zhang Xi's expression became more and more thought-provoking, "This slave is even more unclear, and it's hard to say, but it's a happy event, Madam, don't worry, this box of gold ornaments is not on the gift list, it is an extra reward from the emperor, so it is not an imperial gift Madam can do whatever she wants."

Hearing these words, Chen Ningya gasped, and after a while she came to her senses, thanked Lan Siu for giving Zhang Xi a large red envelope, and sent him away politely.

The things were placed in the hall of the main courtyard, and everyone stared at the eighteen dishes with bright eyes, but no one cared about the box of gold ornaments at all.

"My darling, is this the imperial meal?" Wen's eyes couldn't be moved away, "It's much more exquisite than the ones I've seen in the south of the Yangtze River. Look at this white scorpion carved fairy, it's so vivid, You can't tell it's Bai Si anymore!"

Mrs. Li nodded frantically at the side, "And this one, in several colors, and it's too pretty! I just don't know what it's for."

There seems to be no meat or vegetables on the plate. It is said to be soup. How can there be colorful soup that will not mix together.

The Xie family brothers were amazed at each other, but the two of them were obviously much more reserved, and they were not as ready to move as Alan. If it wasn't for Sun Baoer's tight pressure, maybe this girl would really touch her.

Chen Ningya looked at everyone's salivating looks, and said bluntly: "Let's have a good taste of this imperial meal in a while, 18 dishes, and we can't finish it even if we call Zhen girl over!"

Qi Zixi's rank is not high enough now, so it is impossible to be rewarded today. Of course, Chen Ningya will never forget her daughter and son-in-law.

So, at noon on New Year's Eve, everyone gathered together to enjoy a delicious meal given by the emperor.

Mrs. Li sighed: "It's really the right time to come to the capital this time. When I get back to the village, I can tell everyone that I have eaten imperial food!"

Everyone was amused by her words.

After noon, when Chen Ningya thought about the New Year's Eve dinner at night, she was so excited that she took Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wen to the kitchen to cook and eat. When everyone was busy, the butler hurried over and reported, "Ma'am, A few people came from outside the house to beg for food, and said that his daughter is at our house and insists on seeing you."

"Begging?" Chen Ningya and Wen's exchanged glances, thinking of Alan in an instant, put down the dough in his hand, and said, "Let's go, Mrs. Ben will go take a look with you."

Wen Shi and Li Shi also chased after them curiously.
