Time Traveling: The Little Hou Ye is the Head of the House

Yan Niang and his wife entered the living room.

"Mother-in-law." Ma Tanzhi said politely, "My son-in-law has met father-in-law, mother-in-law, eldest brother, and second brother."

"You're welcome, sit down quickly." The old Orion said, "It's been a hard journey, drink some tea and take a break." It takes an hour to get here from the town even by carriage, so there is still a bit of a road.

Ma Tan and his wife sat down and drank tea.

"Sit down and chat with your brothers, and mother will cook." Orion's daughter-in-law said, "If you are tired, go to Yanniang's room to rest."

"Mom, I'll help you." Yan Niang got up.

"Don't, don't, don't." Orion's daughter-in-law refused, "You are a bride, how can I let you work this time, and you are wearing such beautiful clothes."

"Mother, I'm going back to my mother's house. Do you think you don't want a daughter after she gets married?" Yan Niang asked.

Orion's daughter-in-law couldn't laugh or cry: "Bah, bah, you will always be my daughter, how could it be mother who doesn't want you?"

"Then mother, let me help." Orion's daughter-in-law said, "If I come back after today, I will be from the Ma family, and I will not be polite to mother. When I return to my mother's house in the future, I will come to visit and become a guest."

"You are really... good, good." Orion's daughter-in-law couldn't help it, "Let's go together, the food is good today, you have to have a good meal at your mother's house.,'

"Our family has good food every day." Yan Niang said, "Since Big Brother came, we have fish and meat to eat, all thanks to Big Brother."

Hey... Orion's daughter-in-law sighed, and she patted Yan Niang on the shoulder: "It's good that you can think about it. Our family is already very good like this, and it's good that you marry, parents have nothing to ask for. Girlfriend , you want to be happy, our family... Although your brother is taken care of by dumb, you have to help too."

"Daughter knows, daughter thanks mother, mother rest assured, daughter knows. Daughter and him will have a good life, he is a good man, women will respect him, love him, and have children for him in the future." Yan Niang said.

"It's good if you can think so." Orion's daughter-in-law was very satisfied.

Yanniang and his wife stayed at the old Orion's house for one day, and they went back the next day.

"Here." The second prince gave the fool a copper coin, "Save the copper coin for today."

"Yeah." The fool hid the copper coins in the money bag, the money bag was already a bit heavy, there were several copper coins in it, and it could still make a loud sound when you picked it up. "I don't know when my sister will have a baby."

"It will be born in two years, do you prefer a boy or a girl?" the second prince asked.

"Baby boy." The fool replied without hesitation.

"Why do you like male babies?" The second prince was curious. Shouldn't ordinary fools like female babies?

The idiot chuckled: "I took the boy baby to hunt, but the girl baby can't go."

In the third month after Yanniang got married, that is, in August, good news came from the Ma family that Yanniang was pregnant.For this reason, Orion's daughter-in-law was very happy: "Yan Niang is pregnant, I plan to go to town to see her in two days."

"Then I'll go hunt some prey." The second prince said, "Get some wild game, and the stepmother will take it for Yan Niang to replenish her body."

"Okay, you have caught the prey, you can go with me another day, let's all go and have a look together, I haven't seen Yan Niang for three months, so we all turn towards her," said the Orion wife.

"Then go together." The old Orion said, "The house is not busy, so it's good to go and have a look, she should miss us very much."

So, the next day, the second prince went hunting, caught some small game, and then went to catch some fish. The family of four rented a donkey cart and went into the town to see Yan Niang.

Yan Niang lives in the Ma Mansion, and there are Ma Tan's uncle's family and the second uncle's family in the Ma Mansion, so the old Orion's family is not easy to disturb.After all, in the hearts of rich people, they are poor relatives, so if they bother too many times, Yan Niang will be looked down upon.

"Young Mistress, your family is here." The concierge came to report.

Yan Niang knew what her parents were here for, she was very happy to hear that: "Let's go, I'll go and have a look."

According to the rules of some aristocratic families, when a guest comes, the first person to meet is the elder.The elder of the Ma family is the old lady, who entertained the old Orion family in the living room.Because they are coming to their son-in-law's house today, the old Orion's family is also very particular about their clothes. They are all new clothes. Although they are not luxurious, they are clean and look a little lucky.In addition, in the past year, the second prince has made a lot of money hunting, so the old Orion and Orion's wife are also eating nutritious food, and because of this, they look good.

As for the second prince and the idiot, the second prince's appearance is imposing, wearing better clothes, it is simply extravagant.In the past, when he was the prince, the aura of the royal children was very obvious, but now he has restrained himself and looks much gentler.

Although the idiot is stupid, he is tall and good-looking.

"My mother-in-law is here, Yanniang is pregnant, and I miss you too." The old lady said. "Has the journey been hard?"

"It's not hard, I just came to see Yan Niang after receiving the news from you, I'm really sorry to bother you," Orion's daughter-in-law said.

"Where is it, this is your daughter's home, treat it like your own home." The old lady said.

Several people chatted for a while, Yanniang came: "Father, mother, elder brother, elder brother."

"Your family should have a lot to talk about when you meet, and I won't bother you as an old woman." The old lady got up.

"Grandma, you are also my family." Yan Niang said.

"You have a sweet mouth." The old lady went on with a smile.

The old Orion and the four of them returned to the village after having lunch in Ma Mansion.Orion's daughter-in-law also seemed to have something on her mind. When they had dinner at night, they talked about Yanniang and his wife.In fact, Yanniang's living in Ma Mansion has both advantages and disadvantages.After all, Ma Mansion is not Ma Tan's house. Orion's daughter-in-law hopes that Yan Niang and his wife can buy their own house. It doesn't matter if it is smaller, but there is always a difference between living in your own house and living in your uncle's house.

If it was their own home, they would go there often, and no one would say anything.But what Mafu said will always attract gossip.

One month later, in September, Yanniang came back.

"Sister." Seeing Yan Niang, the fool was very happy, "Sister, when will your nephew be born?"

"When it's hot next year." Yan Niang replied.

"Why are you here?" Orion's daughter-in-law asked, "Isn't your son-in-law here?"

"His shop is busy." Yan Niang said, "I'm coming back this time, it's still related to the elder brother's business."

The second prince was a little surprised: "Me?"

The second prince didn't think of anything related to the second prince, but Orion's daughter-in-law immediately thought of it: "Is there someone who wants to marry him?"

The second prince was embarrassed for a while. He is 33 this year and really doesn't want to get married.What's more, his identity is so embarrassing.Although Emperor Zhao Ning had promised him that he would not enter the capital for life, he would be safe and sound.But even if he lived in such a rural place, he didn't want to get married.

Yanniang didn't expect to be guessed by her own mother: "This is the grandmother who asked me to ask, I'm sorry if I don't come, so please don't mind."

"It's none of your business." The second prince replied.

"Who are you talking about?" Orion's daughter-in-law asked.

"It's the elder sister." Yan Niang said, "Uncle's eldest daughter, 25 this year, was promised by others, but the eldest brother-in-law went, and she took her daughter back to Ma's house. In fact, when you came to see me last time , She saw Big Brother, she...she had some thoughts about Big Brother."

In this way, it is a little embarrassing.Orion's daughter-in-law was afraid that the relationship between Yanniang and Ma's family would not be good, but the foster son didn't want to marry a daughter-in-law, so she couldn't force it. "Then what should we do?" Orion's daughter-in-law looked at the second prince.

The second prince said: "It's okay, Yan Niang, tell the old lady the reason for my refusal, the old lady should be able to understand, maybe they can still force me to marry her?"

"I understand what big brother means." Yan Niang said.

"Wait, you are talking about this matter this time, does the son-in-law know?" Orion's daughter-in-law asked.

Yan Niang nodded: "I told my husband."

"Just say it." Orion's daughter-in-law said, "Some things, if they are related to the Ma family, you have to tell him, he knows, what is his position, and then you can decide what your position is. So this time, after you go back, tell your son-in-law about it. In this way, you can also ask your son-in-law what he thinks, and how you can reply at that time. The relationship between the son-in-law and the old lady is good, and it is not convenient for you to speak. It is more appropriate to let the son-in-law speak."

Yanniang understood what Orion's daughter-in-law meant: "Thank you for reminding me, my daughter understands."

"There is one more thing. I was embarrassed to say to Ma's mother last time, have you and your son-in-law ever thought about buying a house by yourself?" Orion's daughter-in-law asked.

Yan Niang said: "It costs a lot of money to buy a house in the town. The first entry costs 100 taels of silver, the second entry costs two hundred taels of silver, and the third entry requires 300 taels of silver. Based on the current situation of our family, the second entry cost [-] taels of silver. That's enough. However, my husband didn't mention it to me, and

Seeing Yanniang's hesitation, Orion's daughter-in-law understood a little: "Did he tell you about the situation at home?"

Yan Niang nodded: "He is in charge of the business of the shop outside the house, and I am in charge of the affairs in our yard. How much money he will give me every month as a housekeeper fee."

"How much do you give each month?" Orion's wife asked.

"There are relatively few people in our yard, just a young servant, a housekeeper mother, a rough girl, and a maid beside me. They receive our wages, but we use food for food at Ma's house. In this way, my husband will give me five taels of silver every month to pay their wages, and I still have three taels of silver in my hand. My husband said, the rest is my pocket money." Yan Yan Mom said.

The second prince raised his eyebrows when he listened. This Tan Ma is quite shrewd, and his calculations are quite careful.Although he doesn't understand how to manage the house in the countryside, but in ordinary houses, when the daughter-in-law enters the house, isn't the housekeeping job left to the daughter-in-law?

The Orion's daughter-in-law was also a little unhappy when she heard this. This son-in-law is really too shrewd.I don't know what my daughter's future life will be like living with such a smart person.

Hey...she sighed.

"Mother." Yan Niang held her hand, "It's okay mother, we don't ask for money from him. He and I are just two people forming a family. And these are the money he earned. He earns money every month. The monthly money of three taels of silver for me is already a lot. Besides, all my food is from Mafu, so I don’t need to spend money at all. My husband will also bring me accessories and snacks when he comes back from outside. He is still very nice to me. All right. Besides, it would be better for Mr. Xianggong to be more careful. In the future, I will have no problems with him in terms of money. I am not a shrewd person, and there must be a shrewd person in a family. "

"You..." Orion's daughter-in-law felt wronged for her daughter.

In fact, Yanniang is a very shrewd person, and she can tell the situation clearly.She is shrewd and pretends to be foolish. Since her husband is shrewd, she pretends not to be shrewd.Although money is important, Tan Ma has not wronged her, so if she wants to open a little, she will be happier.

"Okay, okay." Yan Niang coquettishly said, "Mother, don't worry about me, I think it's almost time, I should go back, I will have dinner with my husband when he returns home."

"Well, mother won't keep you." Seeing that her daughter really didn't care, Orion's daughter-in-law didn't want to think about it anymore, "By the way, I think the Ma family also has concubines. idea?"

Rich people like to have more children.Her daughter and her son-in-law became pregnant soon after they got married. She was really afraid that the Ma family would let Ma Tan take a concubine, which would make her daughter feel wronged.

Yan Niang shook her head: "No, no, I never mentioned it. My husband comes to my yard every day, even if I am pregnant, he also comes."

"In this way, mother can rest assured, you can go." Orion's daughter-in-law sent Yan Niang to the carriage.

When Yanniang arrived in town, she didn't go back to Ma's house, but went to Ma Tan's shop.Ma Tan saw her coming in, and happily went to support her: "Be careful, why are you here? Didn't you go to your mother-in-law's house?"

Yan Niang smiled and said: "I came back from my mother's house and wanted to have dinner with you, so I came directly to the shop to look for you, did I bother you?"

Tan Ma hurriedly shook his head: "I'm too happy that you can come to see me, why bother me. I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the shop

"No." Yan Niang pulled him back, "I'm pregnant right now, and even if I get to know her better, I can't help you with anything. Besides, after the baby is born in October, I still have to take care of the child, but I can't help you with it." What's the matter, so I have to wait for the child to grow up before I can help you, these few years, I have worked hard for you."

Yan Niang is not a fool, Ma Tan is such a careful and shrewd person, she didn't let her look at the money account book, and she was given a monthly fee every month, so she definitely didn't want her to know too much about the shop, at least for now. She didn't want it, so she didn't want to know about it, so Tan Ma could rest assured.

"It's not hard work." Sure enough, more smiles appeared in Ma Tan's eyes, "For my daughter-in-law and son, even my hard work is worth it."
