Chapter 638 This request is not unreasonable!

t found a servant and got everything ready. The flotilla can set off at any time if they want!"Tao Hongying also smiled and said, "Originally there were many children at home, plus these servants, it'...Especially Baozhu, who particularly liked corn cakes, eating three or four in a row. Old Madam Jia also liked the soft and yielding corn rice cakes. 。In the front yard, Master Jia Er was not fond of alcohol, so he finished his meal quickly. 。Then Li Laoer invited him to stroll around the Hot Springs Valley, just to digest. 。Li Laotai heard that and also invited Jia Laofu to the orchard to pick fruit. 。This is quite a surprising thing, Old Madam Jia readily agreed with great joy. 。Jiayin took Baozhu to see her little horse, even having Shui Ling lead the horse and carry Baozhu around the courtyard for a few circles. 。The excited pearl blushed and shouted that she wanted to go out. 。Grandma He hurried to follow, all the way to the orchard. Only then did Baozhu dismount to pick and eat fruit. 。

Mrs. Wen was pregnant, and Wen Juan's belly was even bigger. It wasn't easy for her to go up the mountain, so she stayed home.

There was a little something happening over at Ercun, Xiaocui came looking for me, and Taohongying went to handle it. 。Madam Wen, taking advantage of this opportunity, pulled Mrs. Jia Er and inquired about the Miss Wan'er she had met the day before. 。Jia'er's wife only had this niece, and because her sister-in-law was in poor health, her niece took charge early on, so she was very fond of her. 。The day before yesterday, Li Jia's son happened to run into his niece. After she went home, she couldn't stop thinking about it. 。To be honest, the marriage of my niece is a bit awkward. 。Although the Xing family was wealthy and had a good reputation, her elder brother was only a clerk. 。This assignment was considered honorable, but now that I'm confined to the south of the Yangtze River, it can't help the Emperor pacify the country or resist the barbarians and reclaim lost territory. It's utterly useless. 。And her sister-in-law's health is also not good, and there is a young child in the family. 。Whoever marries his niece, has to take care of his father-in-law's family and help out his brother-in-law. Thinking about it, it all seems like a heavy burden. 。So, marrying into a wealthy family is out of the question. My niece won't be able to marry into one. 。It's about getting married and enduring hardships, with no one at home capable of supporting her. 。But if one were to marry her niece to a petty official of lesser standing than the Xing family, or even a mere merchant, it would be a grave injustice. 。Thus, some things are neither high nor low. 。At this moment, the Li family suddenly entered her field of vision. No matter how she pondered it, she felt it was a good opportunity. 。Firstly, the second branch of the Li family has an earldom. 。Li Jiarren is the eldest son of the second room, he studies well and looks good, and he will be an earl in the future. His niece marrying in would be a proper countess. 。Moreover, Li Jiaren's mother passed away. Even if Li Laoye remarried later, it would still be a marriage of convenience, and he wouldn't dare to act superior to his eldest son and daughter-in-law. 。The niece need not be oppressed and bullied by her mother-in-law!Finally, everyone in the Li family, young and old, was kind and harmonious to each other. Life was prosperous. The niece would definitely be treated well upon marrying into this family! Thinking this way, Madam Jia Er told Madam Wen, her words carrying a hint of optimism. 。My niece just came of age in the spring and our family is busy making arrangements for her marriage. It's just that we haven't found a suitable match yet. 。"This child is sensible, and I feel sorry for her. I want to find a good family with a solid background for her." 。Mrs. Wen was delighted to hear this and said, "That's right. A woman's marriage is like being reborn. One must choose carefully." 。It's not just about how the man is, but also about whether his family is harmonious. 。"The most similar family to the Li family is that they have a large and lively family, working together harmoniously, and their lives are also prosperous and thriving!" Mrs. Jia Er nodded, just about to speak, but suddenly remembered something, her expression became somewhat embarrassed, so she sighed and said: "Actually, my niece is also a stubborn and independent child, otherwise her marriage would have been settled long ago." 。It was due to a small request that things have been delayed until now. 。"What kind of small request" Mrs. Wen asked curiously. 。Even Wenjuan, who had always smiled silently, looked towards Jia Erfu. 。 Jia's second wife said: "My elder brother only married his eldest sister-in-law in his lifetime, and they were deeply in love. The niece saw it with her own eyes and hoped to find a husband who would not take concubines, so that the couple could work together and live their lives wholeheartedly." 。But this is not easy. Even if outsiders don't say anything, my own husband already respects me very much. He also puts a lot of effort into educating our children. He even took in two concubines! I'm afraid that too few men in the world are willing to be faithful and devoted. 。"

Mrs. Wen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "I thought it was some big deal. Miss Wan'er's request isn't high at all, why are you sighing" 。This time, it was Jia Erfu's turn to be surprised. She asked, "Isn't this request too high Several families had proposed marriage before, but they all disappeared in the end because of this requirement." 。"Perhaps this matter would be difficult in another family, but finding a truly suitable family isn't anything at all." 。For example, in Li Shǎnzi's household, whether it was her elder brother or Jia Ren and his brothers, they all wouldn't take concubines. Li Shǎnzi said that taking concubines easily leads to chaos. 。"It's just that Master and the Old Master haven't taken new wives, they would rather have everything handled by Mrs. Li, than take concubines." 。" Jia Erfu's eyes lit up. She was also testing the waters, and she didn't expect that the Li family truly had a rule against taking concubines. This time, she really hit the jackpot. " 。She desperately wanted to agree to the marriage for her niece right away, but she hesitated because she hadn't discussed it with her siblings and their spouses. 。So, she could only suppress her excitement and said, “In that case, Li's wife is truly wise. With many wives and concubines in the family, people's hearts become chaotic, and life naturally becomes bumpy.” 。"I hope my daughter Wan'er will have this good fortune in the future, finding a good family like Li's." 。"Of course," Mrs. Wen said happily, still not being too absolute in her words, and continued, "It all depends on fate. When the time is right, things will naturally fall into place." 。If it's not meant to be, then there's no need to worry. Just keep searching patiently. 。" Mrs. Jia Er nodded and quickly changed the subject. 。Then Li Lao Er accompanied Jia Erye, strolling around the valley, orchard and village. 。As Jia Erye walked past the workshop in Ercun Village, he saw the wounded soldiers limping about and working inside and out, and he frowned. 。When Lao Er saw him, he took him into the workshop. 。Several disabled veterans, too seriously wounded to go to the orchard to pick fruit, have been tidying up the workshop courtyard these days. When Li Laoer came in, they all greeted him with respect. 。Li Lao'er asked about some trivial matters, then said, "In two days, when the fruit is picked, our workshop will have to start making hanging noodles." 。When that time comes and I want to rest, it probably won't be possible. Take advantage of these few days and get some rest yourselves, don't overdo it. 。"No, sir, we are not tired" 。One of the wounded soldiers laughed and said, “We’re all eager to get back to work! The Lord himself said yesterday that next year he’ll be finding wives for us. We better earn some extra money to buy dowries!” 。"Oh, is that so" Li Lao Er also smiled and said, "The lord said it, so it must be right." 。Next spring, have them raise a few more fat pigs at the pigsty. When you get married, let's make it a real celebration! 。The wounded soldiers thanked them profusely, and when it came time to work again, they put in even more effort. 。Master Jia, unable to contain himself, asked a wounded soldier, "Didn't the imperial court give you silver for compensation Why are you still working here Isn't it hard" Three more chapters will be served soon., it's unfair to blame the Li family.Guli is usually diligent and quiet. Besides being good at bookkeeping, I haven't really seen anything else remarkable about him.To my surprise, this kid actually m...
