Madam, it's nice to tease you

Chapter 70 New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve is the most lively and solemn day of the year. It has many details and ceremonies. Every household attaches great importance to this important day of family reunion.

Early this morning, the female family members of the Shen family didn't stop after getting up. First, they arranged for people to clean up the house and courtyard, and then they had to put up window grilles and couplets, and they had to arrange all matters related to ancestor worship.

When the family returned from worshiping the ancestors at the Shen Family Ancestral Hall in the afternoon, they had to start preparing for the most sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner in the year.Eating New Year’s Eve dinner is also very particular. Every year on the dinner table, there are chickens (connotation), fish (more than every year), fat vegetables (fortune), yuba (abundance), raw garlic (calculation) and lotus root (smart), etc. , These few dishes are essential.

Every year, two tables are arranged for the banquet, one for the female relatives in the mansion, and one for the men.

After the New Year's Eve dinner is over, the juniors will start to kowtow to Shen Kun and Yun's New Year's greetings, and then they will distribute lucky money to them one by one.

After giving out the New Year's money, the next step is to watch the New Year's Eve. The whole family gathers together, sits together, sets a table full of refreshments and fruits, and chats with each other.

Shen Kun sat on the main seat, looking at the bustling family, feeling very relieved.

"Yun Bai, since you're back, you'll stay in Lin'an City this year to take care of your father's restaurant, don't go back to Lingcheng, just remember not to act impulsively in the future."

"Yes, remember father's teaching." Shen Yunbai stood up flattered and saluted.

Regarding this return to Lin'an City, Shen Yunbai had long guessed that Shen Kun would not let him leave, but he still had to put on a show.

Shen Kun nodded in satisfaction, and waved his hand to signal him to sit down, there is no need to be so polite.He glanced at Shen Yunqing and Shen Yunyan who rarely came out to join in the fun, and thought that Shen Yunbai was about to have a child now, so he said with a smile, "At the New Year's Eve dinner tonight, I saw that there are still fewer women in the women's seat , It’s time to add two more people.”

Yun Shi has been by Shen Kun's side for many years, and she knew the meaning of Shen Kun's words as soon as she heard it, so she avoided the seriousness and said lightly, "Master is right, it's time for Yunyan to find a good marriage this year and settle down."

After Shen Kun and Yun Shi spoke, concubine Yuniang and Shen Yunyan also stood up to thank them, and Shen Kun hurriedly asked them to sit down.

"You don't have to pay attention to so many rules tonight on New Year's Eve. Sit down quickly," and then said to Yun, "I'm not just talking about Yunyan. Didn't Yun Qing say that she wanted to go to the Qin family to propose marriage? After the New Year's Eve, you Also find a matchmaker to talk it out for her, as for whether it can be done, it depends on her own luck."

Since Shen Yunqing had the New Year's Eve dinner, she began to be absent-minded. She was thinking about how Qin Yumo would spend New Year's Eve tonight, whether it would be deserted, Qin Yumo's birth mother died early, and Qin Huai couldn't even get up now. He was also not close to Qin Huai's concubines and concubines' younger sisters, so he was unavoidably worried that Qin Yumo would get hurt by himself.

Now that Shen Kun called her so abruptly, and what he was talking about was marriage proposal, his reaction was a bit slow, and he just sat there dumbfounded, unable to utter a word.

It was Yun who reacted quickly, and immediately responded, "Then I will thank Master Yunqing on behalf of this child. You see, this child is so happy and silly."

Yun's turned her head and reminded Shen Yunqing, "Yunqing, why don't you thank your father soon."

As for Shen Yunqing's proposal to marry Qin Yumo, the Yun family accepted it.As Shen Yunqing got older, her marriage became more and more inevitable.Since Shen Yunqing said that Qin Yumo knew her identity as a woman, if she is still willing to marry her, then she has no reason to refuse their marriage, so if this marriage can be achieved, it is equivalent to solving a big problem for her Trouble.

Only then did Shen Yunqing react, and she couldn't help but jumped up, ran to Shen Kun, first made a big bow, and then handed the teacup to Shen Kun, "Thank you, dad, for making my marriage a reality. I promise my dad that from now on, I will never make troubles to make you angry again."

"They are all about to start a family. If you are still so playful and ignorant, let's see which girls are willing to marry you."

Shen Kun was disgusted on his lips, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all. He took the tea bowl from Shen Yunqing and took a sip. This matter was considered a certainty, and now he just had to wait for news from the Qin family.

"Thank you dad, please don't worry, dad." Shen Yunqing bowed again, smiling like a fool, and she was very willing to do the usual etiquette rules that were troublesome.

"Third brother has a girl he likes. I don't know which Miss from the Qin family the third brother wants to propose?" Shen Yunbai who was sitting below asked leisurely.

New Year's Eve is a good day for the whole world to celebrate, but it is not for Shen Yunbai. On this day, whether it is offering sacrifices to ancestors, he has to be behind Shen Yunqing. These rules all remind him that he is just a concubine. How could he not hate Shen Yunqing?

"She has eyes as high as the sky. The person she wants to marry is Qin Yumo, the eldest daughter of the Qin family's grain expert. It's not certain whether she will be able to do so by then." Shen Kun said.

"Miss Qin family?" Shen Yunbai showed surprise, but quickly returned to normal, "This family is indeed worthy of the third brother."

"Hey, more than worthy, I'm afraid that people will look down on your younger brother."

"How could it be? I heard that during the days when I left, the third brother not only managed the teahouse well, but also opened three pastry shops of his own. The same customers came like a cloud. The third brother can be called a young man now. There should be a lot of people who want to discuss marriage with her. Don't you think so, third brother?"

Shen Yunbai said to Shen Yunqing with a half-smile, that he and Shen Yunqing were already at odds with each other, but they just didn't dare to put it on the surface for the time being.

"Brother Miao Zan, I don't care if anyone proposes a marriage with me. Anyway, there is only one marriage that I want to talk about." Shen Yunqing rolled her eyes in her heart. Ever since Shen Yunbai came back, she knew that a clean life is a It's over.

"The third brother still likes to joke as always, but just now my father said that it is a bit inappropriate for my mother to find someone to come to the Qin family to propose marriage after the next year."

"How should I say it?" Shen Kun asked seriously as soon as he heard that something was wrong.

"My son has heard before that the first month is not suitable for discussing marriage. It is said that in the first month, the gods of all walks of life may be busy, and men and women who cannot take care of marriage are not proper, so it is not proper to propose marriage in the first month. It may be that the name is not right and the words are not going well, and the future marriage of the men and women who are discussing marriage is not reasonable in Feng Shui, and the future marriage may not be happy."

"Oh? Is there still such a saying? Then you can't be careless. Marriage is a first-class marriage. If that's the case, it's not too late to propose marriage in February."

Shen Yunqing pursed her lips. She couldn't refute Shen Kun's arrangement. People here regard getting married as a lifelong event. In addition to being lucky, they also have to be married when the time comes. Naturally, they must be cautious, so they can only be silent Accepted.

Although Shen Kun nodded his head for their marriage, as long as it is not implemented, Shen Yunqing's heart will not be at ease for a day. It's not that Shen Yunqing is so anxious to get married, it's just that she is afraid that something will happen.Especially when Shen Yunbai came back, the seemingly casual suggestion he made tonight immediately postponed the date of the marriage discussion between the two of them for a month, so it is not difficult for him to play tricks again.

Of course, Shen Yunbai would not really put forward the suggestion for Shen Yunqing's sake, he also had his own considerations in doing so.

The day was dim, and the night watchmen gradually dispersed, and each went back to the yard to rest and catch up on sleep.

After New Year's Eve, all kinds of New Year's greetings, visiting relatives and friends, I feel a little busier than usual.

Today, it's rare to be free, Shen Yunbai has no plans to go out, drinking tea and reading in the yard.

"Sister, why did you mention in front of Ah Weng on New Year's Eve that the first month is not suitable for discussing marriage, if it is really not suitable, then we should keep our mouths shut and let my brother-in-law try this marriage is not going well, isn't it a good thing. "

Mrs. Wu was also doing embroidery work on the side, embroidering an inner garment for the unborn child in her womb, and suddenly remembered Shen Yunbai's remarks on New Year's Eve, and was a little puzzled.

"Oh, the woman's opinion, those are just rumors, how can they be true? I said that in order to slow down the army, to delay the day when Dad asked people to come to propose marriage, and then take advantage of this to disturb the marriage. You know Who is Shen Yunqing asking to marry?"

Seeing Wu's question, Shen Yunbai happened to have something to explain, so he closed the book in his hand, ready to talk to Wu's.

"Qin Yumo, the eldest lady of Qin's Grain Company?"

Wu Shi is also a native of Lin'an City, so how could she not know Qin Yumo.

"Then you know that Qin's Grain Company is currently controlled by her alone. Besides, I heard from my father that she may be directly promoted to the president of the chamber of commerce this year. That woman is a ruthless character. Otherwise, how could her brother She was squeezed out and took over the family business. If Shen Yunqing marries her, do you know what that means? It means that she will be even more powerful at that time, and our husband and wife will have no place to stand in this house, you know Is it?" Shen Yunbai continued to explain to her.

"But I heard that my brother-in-law likes him, and he may not agree to this marriage."

"I also know that people may not agree, but it is always right to plan ahead. Next, I have a very important thing for you to do?"

"What's the matter?"

"As we all know, Qin Yumo is a person who has retired from marriage. A woman who has retired from marriage is no different from a person who has been divorced. If you make a fuss about her, she will lose face when the time comes, and the Shen family will also suffer. His face will be ashamed. Firstly, Qin Yumo will definitely not agree to this marriage when he hears these words, and secondly, his father will definitely reconsider this marriage at that time. When you go out for a party these days, you meet some Ma'am, you can bring up their marriage proposal, I don't need to teach you the rest, you already know how to say it."

"Sanggong's plan is really high."

More than ten days have passed since New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is the Lantern Festival.

The first month of the month can be regarded as the most free time for grain stores and chambers of commerce, but Qin Yumo is also not idle.

In the early years, I followed Jin Qianqian and met many daughters and wives of official families.Now that it's a festival, it's unavoidable to pay a courtesy visit.In addition to visiting these nobles, some important cooperative merchants are also indispensable for human relations.

After walking around outside, some gossip naturally fell into her ears. It was nothing more than that Shen Yunqing was arguing at the house to marry Qin Yumo, but the Shen family despised her for being divorced. They were afraid that it would damage the family style, so they hesitated to agree. The door-to-door proposal.
