Official You's Family in the Red Chamber

You Wende was surprised, because of You Wenjie's literary talent and healthy body, he didn't take the test no matter what, if he didn't call someone over, he would be blind for nothing.

On the one hand, You Wende prepared the materials for You Wenjie, and on the other hand, he talked to him from time to time. He came and went, and finally understood the problem. If you can't write it, it's useless.

You Wende thought for a long time and finally could only find a way to make him relax as much as possible during the exam.

Time passed little by little while You Wende was busy. During the assessment by the Ministry of Officials, You Wende got the first class as he wished, and was promoted to the top five ranks, but he didn't know how the game between the parties made him transfer to the The Ministry of War is doing things.

You Wende was promoted, You Qingyuan, You Qisong, and You Wenjie were all happy for him. After all, he was well, and he was good to them.

When the whole family was happy, the butler sighed. If you want to talk about Zhou Shun, you don't need to consider loyalty at all. The family has sons, and the father and son are the confidantes of the two successive Patriarchs. The relationship is very deep. Seeing that the master is devoted to his official duties, he is very happy to be promoted, but the master has completely forgotten that he has been in his wife's funeral for almost two months, and his clothes are still light, and he has no intention of continuing. Madam loves so much, no, even if he oversteps, he has to mention it.

Hearing the steward talk about the continuation, Youwende realized that he could marry a wife, and it was his wife's funeral when he came here, so he just thought about it and put it aside, but when he mentioned it, he said that he was I was worried and told the housekeeper, and the housekeeper hurriedly said: "Master, there are always girls who stay late because of filial piety in Beijing. As for the character, let's check carefully. It's not just you. People's affairs, this is a major matter for the entire government, and it is beneficial to young ladies and young masters."

"Staying late? Well, that's only eighteen or nineteen years old, not a little girl yet."

"This... this, my lord, except for the maids released from the palace, there is no one in her 20s who is still unmarried..."

"Huh? In the palace..."

After being mentioned by the housekeeper, You Wende noticed a group that fit his criteria very well. The women who came out of the palace were all at least 25 years old. He didn’t need to feel pressured, and he was able to survive in the palace for so many years. The methods, etiquette, and rules were poor No, it just happens to be able to teach the daughter, yes, it is worth noting, as for the housekeeper, there may be a lack of communication and if you marry a court lady, the problem of reputation can only be discussed at that time.Speaking of his daughter, he had been thinking about hiring a female husband for his daughter, Mammy, but he had no idea, so he just took the opportunity to look for it together.

As soon as the butler got the order, he really didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but anyway, it's good that the master is willing to continue, and he went to investigate immediately.

In the backyard, I heard that You Wende was going to continue, and You Wenjie felt normal, and You Qingyuan was a little sleepless, but thinking about the so-called death of the eldest daughter and not marrying, she already has shortcomings, if she has this reputation again To make matters worse, the stepmother is inevitable. Even if the stepmother is unkind, she will get married in a few years. Even for the sake of fame, the dowry of her original daughter should not be too bad.

You Qisong also had trouble falling asleep. He is a bastard son. His first wife went away. His father noticed his real situation, and his situation changed for the better. But now his father only treats him well. If his step-wife gives birth to Concubine, he, the eldest son of the concubine, might be an eyesore.

Not to mention everyone's thoughts, except that the housekeeper tried his best to inquire about it, and the official media also visited him frequently, so what should You Wende do?

Half a month has passed like this, and the continuation has not been seen yet. The female gentleman invited to You Qingyuan checked several times, and You Wende suddenly stopped after listening, "That Mrs. Li just read it again."

"Yes"

You Wende listened carefully to the general background of the Li family. She is 27 years old, the daughter of Juren. She was also raised as a man since she was a child, but her daughter did not fall behind in what she should learn. Later, her family fell into decline and she was selected as a maid in the palace. , only left the palace the year before last, and still has a female official's son, and the family only has a pair of children left by the younger brother who died young.

You Wende walked around the room twice, and suddenly said: "It's her!"

"Okay, this Mr. Li, you want to..."

"Sir, I mean the step-wife."

"Ah! Master, this... this is not appropriate."

"What's the matter, my lord, I'm married to a stepwife, so it doesn't matter if the family is lower, not to mention that Li is also the daughter of a scholarly family, and a female official from the palace, and her reputation is good."

"No... no, this Mrs. Li suffered from a broken body in the palace in the early years, and she can't have children!"

You Wende thought it was something, he was used to family planning in his previous life with few children, and it was common for the DINK family, but in ancient times it was fashionable to have more children and more blessings,

"Ah? That's it, that's more appropriate. I just don't have to worry about anything else. When the time comes, Song'er will be directly recorded in his name. The legitimate eldest son, our You family has had a difficult heir, and now I have Song'er. Yuan'er is gone, there is no need to force it." This is not nonsense, after all, both You Wende and You Wenjie are only children.

"Well, but this Mrs. Li wants to raise her nephew and niece wholeheartedly, and her family is in a difficult situation, and the only family assets must be left to her nephew, so she can't make up the dowry at all!" Zhou Shun heard that he wanted to record the young master as his son, Overjoyed, his youngest son followed the Eldest Young Master. If the Eldest Young Master recovered, he would be able to enjoy the glory, but out of loyalty, he still told the truth about the situation.

"Oh, so to speak, after this girl does not abandon her brother, her character is pretty good. Don't worry, can you bring all your nephews and nieces here, just to be with Song'er and the others, and the dowry will be easier to deal with. We don't have to go out, so that's it. She can return to her heart even if she marries in. You are checking carefully, if there is no big problem, then come back to me and invite the official media to come."

"Yes."

A few days later, the housekeeper gave You Wende more detailed information. There was nothing wrong with Mrs. Li, and her nephew and niece were also sensible.

Mrs. Li is a female official, and there will be no major mistakes in her etiquette and upbringing. However, a female official of the seventh rank gave him a third-rank official as his successor. There is no problem with her reputation. It may be due to his good luck. Mrs. Li has been out of the palace for more than a year Well, the only remaining family business of the Li family is supported by her, and the housekeeper is fine. In this way, this Li family is simply a perfect successor made according to You Wende's standards.Immediately ordered someone to invite the official media to go.

When You Wende was free, he started to do other things, nothing but the house.Today's house is not small, but You Wende has been dissatisfied with its location for a long time. Now he is going to marry a new wife and have two children. Although this house is suitable, but You Wende's determination to change the house is not. It is stronger, and immediately ordered people to go out to find it.

Sure enough, after all, this marriage was his first marriage in two lifetimes. Although this wife was mostly calculating and had no feelings at all, he was still a little excited!

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, the servant said back and forth that there was a suitable house. The former Guanglu Temple Qing Wang was appointed as an official, and his son failed several exams. The family thought about going back to the hometown to buy property. The location is good, the security is good, and it is safe. The index is high, and the people who live nearby are all Guanhuan families, and the place is also large. The house of Dawu Jin has two gardens, one big and one small at the front and back.

You Wende is very satisfied. Although it may be a bit big for their family to live in now, it will not be a big deal if the son gets married in the future, and if there are grandchildren, it will not be a big deal. It is the money that makes You Wende feel bad, 6 taels is nothing Yes, after You Wende came here, he immediately sorted out the family business and bought a lot of properties. After a year, he can earn more than 2 taels, but it still hurts him to spend [-] taels at a time.

The house is not old at all, so send someone to clean it, and the You family has a simple population, so the move was completed within ten days.You Wende didn't make any publicity, and only invited a few familiar colleagues to have a drink.

Besides, Mrs. Li, when an official media came to her suddenly, she was so surprised that she thought she had gone wrong. When she heard that someone was willing to marry her, she was filled with emotion. Her appearance can only be described as delicate and dignified, not a beauty. She is not rich, except for these two yards, there are only a few mu of land left, plus she can't have children, she really can't think that anyone is willing to marry her, she originally wanted to use her status as a female official to find a rich family as a daughter Sir, add some income to the family. After all, the children are growing up, and now I don't know how to choose.

Seeing that Mrs. Li was shaken, the matchmaker recited You Wende's recent situation. The You family wanted to marry her as a continuation, and was willing to record the only brother who was a concubine under her name. If she married, she would have at least a five-rank imperial order, and she would not dislike her. With nephews and nieces.

Mrs. Li didn't bite her to death, she just thought about it, the matchmaker wasn't surprised, she had to go a few times to get this marriage done, she just got married when she heard about it, wouldn't that mean she hated to marry?

After the matchmaker left, Mrs. Li asked Uncle Qiao to go out to find out about the situation of You's family. The Li family was in decline, and the servants could have been sold long ago. Now only Uncle Qiao stayed with his wife and daughter because of his bad legs. It was inconvenient for Mrs. Li. When I went out, I had to ask Uncle Qiao to inquire.

When Uncle Qiao came back and reported to Li Shi, Li Shi thought to herself, Li Shi is not stupid, otherwise she would not be able to come out of the palace intact.

If you think about it, you can understand that Mr. You married her only because of her reputation as a female official. Marrying a female official in the palace is very common these days, and it can be regarded as a matter of face. The master bestowed marriages, many girls from petty official families went to the palace to be gilded in order to get married in the future, but although she is also a seventh-rank female official, she only has a good name. The master liked it, let alone the marriage, and wanted to stay in the palace. She didn't want the younger brother to die early and leave a pair of children. How could she not care about it, so she reported her name when she was released as a maid.

Now the You family is afraid that it is because of her name, so that the eldest girl of the You family can improve her etiquette and upbringing in the future, and it is good to talk about marriage.Furthermore, for the eldest son of the concubine, it is beneficial for both parties to record it in her name. With her support, the child can also get the title of concubine.

Then the matchmaker meant that because of her age, she was afraid to prevent the child from being embarrassed. Judging from the limited information obtained by Uncle Qiao, Mr. You loved the child very much.

Mrs. Li couldn't help thinking about it. Mr. Nayou heard from Uncle Qiao that he was a square person, and he allowed her to bring his nephew and niece. Nayou's family is an official family, so don't worry about his nephew's studies, although she can teach to the end.

Besides, she also wants to find someone to rely on, otherwise even if her nephew is filial in the future, there will be no reason for her nephew to support her aunt.What's more, as soon as she married, she would have a ready-made order, Feng Guanxia was the dream of many women.
