[Red Chamber] Xiuyan is a little Shennong

Time passed quickly, and it was the end of the year in a blink of an eye. The New Year gifts prepared by the Xing family for each government were almost the same, just adding more or less.The Xing family didn't have that much money, they just sandwiched together wine, various cakes, scented tea, essence, etc., and some flowers and plants that were good for health preservation.

After all, the Xing family planted it themselves, and it is difficult for others to say that the Xing family is not sincere.At most, some people say that the Xing family is poor, so they can only use these things as gifts.

The Xing family doesn't care about this, as long as they have a thick skin, life will be good.

Xing Zhong didn't have a daughter, and some people wanted to give Xing Zhong a woman, but Xing Zhong didn't dare to take it.Those things at home mainly rely on Xing Xiuyan, Xing Xiuyan doesn't like those aunts, how dare Xing Zhong make troubles.

"If you don't have a baby, it's enough to have a daughter. When she reaches her age, she will have a son-in-law." That's what Xing Zhong said.

Those people in the capital soon knew what Xing Zhong was thinking. Xing Zhong wanted to recruit a son-in-law for Xing Xiuyan.

In Rongguo Mansion, the Xue family naturally heard about it, and Mrs. Xue felt that Xue Biao was suitable.It's just that the Xing family is the Earl's Mansion after all, so I'm afraid they might look down on Xue Biao.It's just that the foundation of the Xing family is weak, and there is only one daughter. Except for the nutrient solution, they have nothing to offer. After recruiting a husband, the family may inherit the title.

As long as there can be title inheritance, there will be people with ideas.

"She's still young." Xue Baochai said with a smile when she learned of Madam Xue's thoughts, "It's still early."

"It's not too early." Mrs. Xue shook her head, "After the new year, she will be twelve or thirty. In some ordinary families, she has already started seeing each other."

"..." Xue Baochai just smiled and didn't say much.

When Jia Yuanchun visited his relatives, the Xing family did not come to Rongguo Mansion.They have no blood relationship with Jia Yuanchun, they are so far apart, there is no way they could visit.

The Xing family is living a fulfilling life, and they don't think about other people's affairs, they only think about their own family.

In the second half of the year, Xu Xu, the second roommate of the Xu family, came to Beijing.Xu Xu has already passed the examination, and plans to go to Beijing to study, study first, and then take the exam when the imperial examination is held.

Xu Xu entered the Earl's Mansion of Jing'an to live temporarily, and some people thought that Xing Xiuyan wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law.

This is impossible, Xu Xu knows that Xing Xiuyan can't like him like this, and as for him, he can't force it.If it is possible, he thinks that his cousin is really good, but if it is not possible, then he has to rest his mind.

Once, Xu Xu met Jia Yingchun. Jia Yingchun was a concubine of the Rongguo Mansion, but she was not something ordinary children from poor families could climb up to.

Xu Xu had some thoughts in his mind. With his ability, he would not be the number one scholar in the scientific examination, and it would be good to be a Jinshi.However, there are many Jinshi in the capital, and it is even more difficult for Jinshi from poor families. Instead of marrying a country woman or a girl from an ordinary family, it is better to marry a concubine from the government.

"Their family is prosperous, how could they take a fancy to you?" Xing Xiuyan poured cold water on it, and the Xu family didn't have so much money to send to Rongguo Mansion.

"Try it." Xu Xu said, "I'm afraid I want to borrow a potted flower from my cousin, a rare flower."

"..." Xing Xiuyan looked at this cousin, at least this cousin was much stronger than Sun Shaozu.

Speaking of which, this cousin was really able to make troubles, and he actually got Jia Amnesty to agree to the marriage between Xu Xu and Jia Yingchun.

In fact, Xu Xu just calculated that the Rongguo Mansion was short of money, and he was good at painting big cakes.The Xu family is a farming and studying family. He described it as a family of scholars for generations hidden in the township. He also said that the Xu family has no tradition of taking concubines. In short, he is too good, and he will skyrocket sooner or later.

Seeing that Xu Xu's conversation is so good, Jia She doesn't look like a countryman at all. Such a well-spoken person will definitely achieve something in the future.

After going back and forth, Jia Amnesty agreed with Xu Xu and promised Jia Yingchun to Xu Xu.

"..." Xing Xiuyan was stunned when he learned of Xu Xu's operation, which was no different from the way Sun Shaozu fooled Jia Amnesty.

Jia She is just following this trick, right? Jia She is thinking that someone will be able to use it in the future, no matter who that person is?

In Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Jia did not expect that Jia Amnesty would arrange Jia Yingchun's marriage so quickly. Xing Xiuyan's cousin, a young man, is young, and the future is indeed promising.It's just that Jia Yingchun is a girl from the palace after all, so she can marry a better family, especially if there is a big sister who is a concubine in the palace.

Besides, the Xing family is so stingy, how can the Xu family be any better.I'm afraid that if Jia Yingchun is married off, the Rongguo Mansion will get nothing.

"This marriage is settled, so it's hard to go back on it." Jia Amnesty didn't think about going back on it, he felt that it was normal that the Xing family didn't give more things to the second room.The Xing family has a relationship with the first room, not the second room. If the Xing family wants to please the first room, they must also please the first room. Why should they treat the second room so well.

Mrs. Jia knew that it was not good to go back on her word, and she couldn't go back on it. If she did, what would people outside think about Rongguo Mansion.

Xing felt that Xu Xu was fine. Although Xu Xu was not her nephew, she could still be related to her.

Xu Xu borrowed money from Xing Xiuyan to buy the house.It's just that he doesn't have that much money, so it's impossible to buy so many maids and servants. At most, one woman cooks and another maid serves Jia Yingchun, that would be very good.You must know that people in Xu's hometown didn't enjoy it like this. Xu Xu did it for Jia Yingchun.

Xing Xiuyan was also shocked to see Xu Xu spending so much ahead of time and borrowing thousands of taels of silver.

When did the ancients have such advanced ideas?

Xing Xiuyan didn't think about whether Xu Xu would return it. Xu Xu has a good brain and has a set of principles in doing things.If Xu Xu is allowed to be an official, maybe he can do well.

At the end of the year, someone from the Xu family came to spend a year in the capital, and brought Jia Yingchun and Xu Xu to prepare for their marriage.

In the spring of next year, Xu Xu and Jia Yingchun will get married.

This speed is really fast enough, Xing Xiuyan thinks it's good, so that Jia Yingchun won't stay in the Rongguo mansion.

Those girls still live in the Grand View Garden. In the past, people from Rongguo Mansion also invited Xing Xiuyan to live there.Xing Xiuyan refused, and only said that he still needs to take care of the fields. How can he have so much time to live in the Grand View Garden?

After Jia Yingchun and Xu Xu got married, they lived in the courtyard outside instead of the uncle's mansion.

After Mrs. Xu helped arrange some things, she was ready to go back.

"You don't plan to stay?" Xing Xiuyan asked.

"I don't want to stay anymore, just let the couple live on their own." Old Madam Xu said, "The capital costs a lot, and your cousin is still studying, and how much he can earn, you must spend your cousin's dowry. If we have no face It would be too ignorant to stay here without skin."

Mrs. Xu didn't think about living in the Earl's Mansion. When they were planning the wedding for Xu Xu, they lived in the Earl's Mansion, which was helpless.They want to reduce expenses as much as possible, and the family simply doesn't have that much money for face.

In Mrs. Xu's view, Xu Xu's ability to marry Jia Yingchun is Xu Xu's ability, but Xu Xu must be clear, don't think that marrying a noble girl can be unscrupulous, and you have to treat him better.Mrs. Xu didn't say much to Xu Xu. She knew exactly what this grandson was capable of. This grandson was very shrewd.

If you are not smart, how can you marry Jia Yingchun, a girl from the Duke's family.A concubine, that is also a noble daughter.

"In the future, keep in touch frequently." Xing Xiuyan said, in ancient times, regular contact was writing letters.

Xing Xiuyan asked people to prepare a lot of things for Mrs. Xu and her party to take back.

Jia Yingchun knew that the Xu family didn't have that much money, and she didn't value money that much.After marrying Xu Xu, Xu Xu doted on her and lived a peaceful life.

There was only one thing that made Jia Yingchun feel uneasy. She knew that Xu Xu borrowed a lot of money from Xing Xiuyan in order to marry her.

"Cousin is not short of envoys of silver, just return it to her in a few years." Xu Xu said, "You also have some silver and a store in your hand, you can get goods from her, and you can earn some money."

That's what Xu Xu thought, if others could sell things from Xing Xiuyan, so could they.There are many dignitaries in the capital, as long as the things are good enough, they can make some money.The things my cousin has are good, and basically I don’t have to worry about selling them.

"I just don't know if you are afraid that people outside will say that we depend on our cousin for a living." Xu Xu held Jia Yingchun's hand, "Those gossip outside..."

"It doesn't matter." Jia Yingchun thought to himself, did he not hear too many gossips from those servants in Rongguo Mansion?

After arriving at Xu's house, the cost of food and clothing was not as good as when he was in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Yingchun didn't think it was a bad thing, but was at ease.Husband is not good to her. Husband studies hard, and then takes two or three children to study, and he gets very little training. Jia Yingchun doesn't think it is bad.

Xu Xu is preparing for the next year's scientific examination, so it is impossible to teach more children, and teaching two or three children is also thinking about reviewing some knowledge.

It is impossible for Xing Xiuyan to trade at a loss, so he only sold some pastry recipes to Jia Yingchun, which is not considered as a shareholding.Jia Yingchun didn't have that much money in his hand, so he just paid in installments, and paid some a year.Jia Yingchun didn't open many shops, so he didn't need that much money.

This is to buy pastry recipes according to the number of stores, which is similar to the franchise of later generations.

"Fruit wine, there are not so many, just take some, sell it if you can sell it, and put it there first if you can't sell it. It tastes better after a long time." Xing Xiuyan took Jia Yingchun to look at the things in the village, "My shop Same thing, selling fruit, selling cakes, selling cider, that's all."

Xing Xiuyan didn't go to the shop much anymore, she just let the shopkeeper and the waiter watch.Basically, I pull things from Zhuangzi every day, sometimes every few days, depending on whether those things can be stored and when they can arrive.

Because Jia Yingchun got married early, she wasn't involved in those bad things in Grand View Garden.

When Jia Yingchun visited Xingxiuyan Village, something happened in the Grand View Garden, and it was unknown who lost the purse. The pattern on the purse was still a very private thing.

Mrs. Wang looked for Wang Xifeng with her purse. Wang Xifeng couldn't possibly belong to her, and thinking of other people in the Grand View Garden, she had to beat her up.

This beating, some talking about maids, and some searching for things, made all the girls very depressed.

"How did it become like this?" Jia Tanchun understood, what kind of words does it sound like some servants come to search the things of the masters.

Obviously it wasn't that they hid things, and none of them were married yet, how could that be possible.If they really thought they were fools, they didn't want to ruin their reputation. If they ruined their reputation, how would they marry in the future.
