The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

The Zhang family's divorce letter was sent back to Chang'an together with the wedding gift to Chen Rong in September.Zhang Yun did not send the divorce letter to You's house, but gave it to his uncle Chen Gui along with the congratulatory gift.The reason written in the divorce letter is also "the child is not suitable, it is difficult to match, so the marriage contract is returned. From now on, the marriage of men and women will have nothing to do with each other."

On the contrary, he picked up the second sister You.

Chen Gui knew that Zhang Yun could not be violated by seeing things, so he wanted to be a favor.After all, the etiquette is strict nowadays, and the daughter's family is blamed.If the second sister divorced for no reason, even if the two families were really misfits, some people would talk behind their backs, saying that the second sister dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and her character is worrying.

Chen Gui has a high position and powerful connections, and although he is not afraid of such rumors, it is better to have one thing less than one thing more.As the saying goes, it is mediocrity not to be envied by others.But if it is clear that it is possible to avoid being envied by others, but it is a fool's job if it insists on making people look at it.

Now Zhang Yun puts the hat of voluntarily retiring the engagement on his own head, one is to care about the old relationship between the two families, and the other is to want Chen Gui's favor - after all, retiring the engagement is no longer possible, instead of entangled in who is right and who is wrong For the trivial matters of ungratefulness and injustice, why not take this opportunity to win Chen Gui's favor, so that in the future, if there is any matter of begging for favors, it will be easy to come to the door with a smile on your face.

Zhang Yun's plan Chen Gui's heart is like a mirror.But it was about the reputation of the second sister, Chen Gui was also happy to accept this favor.Anyway, in the officialdom, there is also a lot of courtesy and reciprocity.As long as the Zhang family understands the truth, he will reciprocate.As Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen said, even if the two families have no relationship by marriage, they are still old friends.After more than ten years of friendship, if the sea and the sky can be taken a step back, it will naturally be a good thing for everyone.

Chen Gui read the letter sent by Zhang Yun, and accepted Zhang's family's congratulatory gift to Chen Rong with satisfaction.Immediately, the letter of divorce and the needles and threads that the second sister had given to Zhang's family were sent to You's house, and handed over to Chen's family in person.So and so ordered once.

What I was talking about was asking the second sister to minimize going out these days.After all, there are many officials and noble families in Chang'an City, and they are well-informed.Many people knew about the marriage contract between the second sister and Zhang's family.Now that the two families have withdrawn their engagement and married each other, it is inevitable that some people will pay attention to it. If someone who is not used to the behavior of the Chen family asks the second sister face to face, wouldn't it be embarrassing for everyone?

It's better to put down the flag for the time being and be a low-key person.Wait for a year and a half, when everyone has gradually forgotten about it, and then come out to socialize and have dinner.At that time, the second sister will also reach the age of Jiji, and it is only natural to talk about marriage.

Chen has always regarded his elder brother's words as the golden rule.Hearing Chen Gui's advice, the Chen family naturally agreed.As for the second sister, she was used to being obedient, and she only got a satisfactory solution when she got into an emotional quarrel over this matter.Therefore, she was already overjoyed when she heard the news of the Zhang family's resignation, and she had no objection at all as to how to plan for the future.

Only the members of the You family held the abacus of striking while the iron is hot, and did not take Chen Gui's cautiousness seriously.But the arms couldn't twist the thighs, since Chen Gui, an uncle, didn't want to act too hastily and let his niece be criticized by others.They did not dare to act against Chen Gui's will.

However, regardless of how the second sister hid in the inner house, as the direct cousin of the Chen family's niece, Chen Rong, she still had to show up at the Chen family on the day her cousin got married.

Fortunately, Chen Gui usually had a high position and a strong prestige, even if some people secretly disliked the Chen family's behavior, they did not dare to look for bad luck on this happy day, which also made the second sister's ears clean.

The second sister is clean and at ease, but it's a pity that the third sister You is not so lucky.Due to the small number of members of the Chen family, there are only four mistresses in charge, Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Feng, Mrs. Chen and sister Wan.Among them, Mrs. Chen is old and mentally weak, so she can't bother with such an important matter.Sister Wan is also a shy lady, even if she usually does some housework with Feng, it's just a small fight, and she has never experienced such things.The Chen family is also a married woman, and asking her to entertain distinguished guests under the name of the Chen family, although it is not impossible, after all, it is somewhat unfair.

As for Feng Shi, although she is good, she only has one mouth and one heart, so she can't take care of everything.Therefore, I was afraid that on the day of welcoming the bride, I would make people laugh if I lost my etiquette, and my mouth became anxious.

The third sister You saw it in her eyes, so she had to come up with the process of working in a public relations company in her previous life. First, she wrote a plan for her aunt, explaining everything clearly, dividing responsibilities, personnel relations, and hospitality for distinguished guests. The order, the person in charge, etc., etc., and volunteered to recommend himself, sister Wan and second sister to entertain the young female relatives and girls from various families who came to congratulate.

When Feng saw that Third Sister You explained all the trivial matters clearly and clearly, she was immediately overjoyed.He hurriedly took the hand of Third Sister You to express his gratitude, and smiled again: "I will ask your cousin to be your cow and horse. If you have something to do, just ask him to run errands for you. That's it."

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but smile.

When it came to the day of Chen Rong's wedding, there were clusters of sedan chairs and horses in front of the Chen residence, and there was an endless stream of guests. The bustle and hustle and bustle of flowers and brocade cooking oil was even more lively than the day when Mrs. Chen was celebrating her birthday.

Among them, the princes and relatives, the son-in-law, the princess, the princess, the prince, and the wife's order are gathered together, and it has long been customary for the saint to give congratulations to the Ministry of Rites.

The wedding team came when they were young, and they surrounded Chen Rong and the eldest daughter of Xu's family to pay homage to the parents of heaven and earth, and sent them to the bridal chamber.

At that time, Chen Wan and the second sister You.The third sister You and the female family members of the Chen family were all in the bridal chamber, watching with a smile that Chen Rong, the official groom, took off the red hijab and drank the wine while the bride was urging him to sing.The bride is a girl from the parents of Xu, whose maiden name is Yuxiu. She has willow eyebrows and almond eyes, red lips and white teeth. When her eyes move around, she looks forward and shines brightly. The red dowry makes her skin white as jade, and she is a romantic character.Seeing this, Chen Rong was almost dumbfounded.

When everyone saw this, there was another burst of jokes and laughter.

Although the third sister You is a girl who has not left the court, she has come from time travel, and she has heard and seen many things in her previous life.When it came to joking, they were narrower and more interesting than those self-proclaimed bold daughters-in-laws. Chen Wei was so ashamed that he couldn't sit still as if a needle had been poked in his buttocks, so he had to use the excuse of going out to toast, and ran away with a burning face. bridal chamber.

All the female relatives laughed loudly when they saw it.

Third Sister You also met Xu Yuxiu a few times when she followed her aunt to Xu's house, besides, she is a familiar person, she has always talked about people, talking nonsense to everyone, talking to everyone.She saw that Chen Wan was shy in front of the daughters-in-law, and she was ashamed to speak.He had no choice but to go forward and take Xu Yuxiu's hand to introduce her to sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law.

For a while Xu Yuxiu saw them one by one, and Third Sister You ordered the little girl to bring small and delicate snacks that were easy to eat.Nai smiled and said to Xu Yuxiu: "Marriage is the most tiring thing, and it's still early, so there's going to be a lot of trouble today. Cousin sister-in-law eats something to fill her stomach first, so she can accumulate some energy."

As soon as the words were finished, the female relatives sitting in the room couldn't help laughing, and they all joked with the third sister: "Yo, I didn't expect the third girl to know that marriage is the most tiring thing at such a young age. .”

The third sister You didn't take it seriously when she heard the audience laughing.He said with a casual smile: "I don't know anything. Back then, my mother married into You's family, my elder sister married into Ningguo Mansion, and now counting the marriage of Cousin Rong, I can be regarded as an 'old man' who I have seen before." You all look older than me, but you may not have as much experience as me when it comes to such a festive event."

These words are true, and everyone can't say anything to refute them.After all, everyone has things to do about marriage, but not everyone can enjoy the wine scene of the Duke's family.Not to mention that Third Sister You not only ate the wedding banquet in Ningguo Mansion, but also helped her mother arrange Youshi's dowry.

So the third sister You said that she was "experienced" in front of everyone, which is naturally true.

Xu Yuxiu saw that Third Sister You had persuaded everyone with a few words, so she smiled at Chen Wan.

She has been tossing around since getting up early today, and she really hasn't eaten anything.Just now I was very nervous, but I didn't feel anything.At this moment, after being reminded by the third sister, I realized that I was already very hungry.

Fortunately, the small snacks prepared by the Chen family are only the size of a thumb, delicate and small, one bite at a time.Xu Yuxiu didn't have to worry about eating, and she didn't have to worry about getting her makeup messed up.

After eating snacks for a while, Third Sister You ordered someone to offer tea.He also took out a special drinking straw and taught Xu Yuxiu to drink half a bowl of tea.Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but praise Third Sister You, "What a delicate thought."

Talking and laughing, the guests outside have dispersed.Chen Rong came back full of alcohol, and everyone was arguing again in the bridal chamber.

After tossing like this until the middle of the night, everyone dispersed happily.

When they went home in the evening, everyone couldn't help but talk about their exhaustion, and they went to wash up and make arrangements without going into details.

Looking forward to the end of the new year, when all the families are busy buying new year's goods and wine, they suddenly heard that the Chen family sent someone to announce the good news, only saying that the grandma Xu's family is happy.

The Chen family was overjoyed when they heard that the Chen family had a successor.The busy man sealed the first-class seal to reward the visitor.Because he recruited people to prepare chariots and horses, he was going back to his mother's house to congratulate her.

Mrs. You, who was playing with Brother Bao in the upper room, was also happy for her in-laws when she heard the news.After being happy for a while, it is inevitable to think of the eldest girl who has been homeless for the past two years since she married into the Ningguo Mansion.Couldn't help but took Chen's hand again and sighed: "What do you think about this big girl in our family? She married such a noble family, but she has never been able to give birth to a brother. Isn't this Ask outsiders to talk. I said you go home to congratulate, and by the way, I also begged his uncle to ask the eldest girl for a doctor's diagnosis and pulse. Even if it is to take a few doses of decoction to nourish the body, it is not good to delay like this."

After listening to the old lady's advice, Mrs. Chen should naturally do so.For a while, I took my second sister and third sister back to my mother's house. After congratulating my parents, brother, sister-in-law and the two young couples, I really mentioned the matter of inviting the imperial physician.
