Official You's Family in the Red Chamber

Mrs. Li was thinking over there, and the brothers and sisters of the Li family also got the news. The brothers and sisters of the Li family were all sensible children, and they didn't think about anything else when they heard that their aunt might be getting married. They were naturally happy to rely on them, but they were worried about what would happen to them after their aunt left. When they heard that they were allowed to take them with them, they were even more pleasantly surprised, but they didn't know what this aunt thought.

What could Mrs. Li think? After asking a little, seeing that her nephew and niece didn't object, she had a clue in her heart. The matchmaker came to the door a few more times, and the matter between the two families was settled.

As soon as the You family heard that the woman agreed, they asked people to start counting auspicious days, and then asked the housekeeper to prepare things and send them to Li's house quietly. He also brought some jewelry and satin from the palace, but he made a lot of them in the past year, and now seeing the things sent by You Wende, he couldn't help but be moved, knowing that they were making faces for her.

Not to mention Li's gratitude for receiving things, but here You Wende started to communicate with his son and daughter. In fact, in this era, there is no reason for a father to ask his children to intervene. You Qingyuan and You Qisong saw that their father explained to them personally His original intention of marrying this relative and the benefits to them were all gone, especially when You Qisong heard that his father wanted to record him under the name of his stepmother as a legitimate son, he was so moved that he couldn't bear it.

After the two parties settled down, You Wende began to spread wedding invitations widely. This was the first time he got married in two lifetimes.

As soon as You Wenjie knew that You Wende had made an appointment with someone, he wrote a letter and went back to his hometown. Uncle You immediately prepared a gift for You Wenjie's wife Zhao to go to Beijing and asked him to help You Wende prepare the wedding banquet.

Half a year later, You Wende got married.It is common sense to continue the string, because the relationship between You Wende and his colleagues and subjects has been adjusted well over the past year, many people came in person, and the banquet was also a joy.

Of course, everyone couldn't help but talk about how much of the bride's full 58 dowry was that You Wende came out to make the new wife look good, and they had inquired about it when they received the wedding invitation. The Li family's property is not rich.I also heard that most of the reason for marrying this new wife is to bring up their children, and even the two children of the Li family were brought into the mansion. In a short time, You Wende's reputation improved a lot. You have to say something kind.

After marriage, Mrs. Li felt that she had fallen into a nest of blessings, and she couldn't be more grateful to You Wende. Before she got married, the You family gave her a lot of dowry. There is also a shop in the outskirts of Beijing, not to mention other things, this year there will be at least a thousand taels of private house.

Not long after entering You's house, You Wende handed over the housekeeping rights to her, and even handed over the family property to her to take care of it. The You family was much richer than she imagined. Those who continue to buy properties are afraid that they will cost at least ten thousand taels, and the master is capable, and the family property is still increasing (most of the family property is handed over to Li Shi, but of course You Wende also saved private money, but he did not tell Li Shi That's all).

Within two days, Feng Guanxia, ​​who was ordered by the fifth rank, arrived. I heard that the master had only been promoted by half a rank before she married. According to this momentum, her future imperial order may not exceed the fifth rank.

The child under her name is also a good one, and she is very fond of her. The daughter of the first wife is not difficult to get along with. The master even asked someone to clean the yard early for her nephew and niece. Her niece Li Jingyi was arranged to live Entering the courtyard adjacent to You Qingyuan in the inner courtyard, his nephew Li Tao was arranged to live in the courtyard next to You Qisong in the outer courtyard, where he studied with a gentleman. Uncles, cousins, and daughters-in-law are also easy to get along with, and there is no concubine room in the mansion. Although sooner or later, she will give the master a concubine. After all, she can't have children, and the master won't have children anymore, but it doesn't hinder her current mood. good.

And You Wende is also very satisfied with Li Shi, satisfied in various senses, and has a face inside, and deeply feels that this daughter-in-law has gained value.

After getting married, Mrs. Li immediately entered the mood, first recorded You Qisong under her name, then quickly became familiar with the internal affairs, and the servants at home also beat them once, and then activated her network, and quickly invited the two palaces back. The nanny who came out of the palace, Li Shi has only been out of the palace for more than a year, and his contacts have not been broken. When he was in the palace, he knew each other more or less. The dignitaries and senior officials invited them back, but they also came out of the empress palace, and they all looked capable, one was given to You Qingyuan, one was given to Li Jingyi, and another female gentleman was invited to teach some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing and singing. The two children of the Li family are both six years old and a pair of twins, and they are also sensible and lovable.

All in all, with Li's family, the whole You family became orderly, with the male leading the outside and the female leading the inside, everything was thriving.

Not long after marriage, Mrs. Li began to go out to socialize. Because Mrs. Li was also the daughter of a scholar, and she had the title of a seventh-rank female official, when she came out of the palace, everyone looked at her highly. Soon entering the circle of noble ladies, You Wende gradually began to taste the benefits of his wife's diplomacy.

You Wende and Li Shi were not the only ones who were happy about You Wende getting married, almost the entire You family was very excited, not to mention that Zhou Shun, a loyal servant, was happy for the master and the young master, first of all, You Qisong was very happy, he became Isn't the legitimate son worthy of joy, and he is the eldest son of the legitimate son. Looking at his father's attitude towards him, this is treating him as the heir. The new wife treats him well. He rarely feels like a mother, and the wife is obviously He is a father's favorite, and he brought a nephew who is only one year younger than him. It just so happens that he has a playmate and someone to study with him.

You Qingyuan was also very happy. In fact, she was somewhat uncomfortable with the person who replaced her mother, but gradually found that the new wife was easy to get along with and had nothing to say to her, so she called her mother sincerely.

And the new wife is very powerful. After she came, the family became more organized, and my father didn't have to be so tired.The new wife did not hide her secrets and kept her by her side to teach her. She also hired a nanny, a lady husband, and brought a little sister. Although she was a little younger, she finally had someone to accompany her.

What made her happiest was that after a few months of studying with Mr. Mammy, the new wife told her that she would take her out to socialize when she became a mother, so that she could gradually get to know a few handkerchiefs.

Li Jingyi was also happy. Her aunt married into You's family and brought them to You's family. She suddenly had several maidservants and a foster mother. The sister of You's family was also a good person. They studied with the same gentleman every day. When she was a little older, my aunt would take her out to socialize with sister You's family, so I could meet many little sisters.

Li Tao is also very happy. His aunt has relied on him, and their life has become better. He is very grateful to his uncle, who does not dislike their brothers and sisters. The treatment in the house is the same as that of the young lady and master in the house. He can be with Brother You, um, now I should ask my cousin to study with my husband, and my younger sister can also get a good education. He will definitely work hard to get a good name in order to live up to his father's expectations and the kindness of his aunt and uncle.

Mrs. Zhao was also happy. Originally, her cousin and daughter-in-law didn't need to be so excited when her uncle got married, but it was different when You Wende got married. There is also someone who can talk, this sister-in-law is a female official in the palace, she is very resourceful, she listened to her sister-in-law to teach Qingyuan and felt that she benefited a lot. After that, according to my sister-in-law, my cousin said that her master should be able to win, so that she can become an official wife.

Time flies by in the harmony of everyone, and more than half a year has passed. Now the atmosphere in You's house is a little tense. Without him, You Wenjie is about to try it out. Master You Er is getting more and more nervous as the date comes. When You Wende saw it, he took the time to talk to him. He had nothing to do with the fear of exams. He just told him categorically that you will pass. I asked several academics from the Hanlin Academy to ask, and you will definitely pass. Don’t worry, I’ve read so many materials, I’ve found out the examiner’s preferences this year, and you’ve memorized them, so what are you worried about?Take it easy, relax, relax!

It may be that what You Wende said was too sure, which made You Wenjie infected. You Wenjie gradually calmed down and slowly returned to normal. Although he was still a little nervous, at least his mind would not go blank.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao in You Mansion arranged things for You Wenjie's exam over and over again, and in the midst of everyone's anxiety, after a few days, You Wenjie walked into the examination room.
