Daiyu's stepmother is not easy to be

They got married on the third day of the eighth lunar month, and now, Xia Jingui has been Chang's grandma for more than three months.

Empress Gao Zu and other imperial physicians discovered that giving birth after a woman's body grows at the age of [-] or [-] is much less harmful to the body than getting married and having a child at the age of [-] or [-], and the child is less likely to die young.

Therefore, the trend of late marriages in Dayan has gradually increased. Nowadays, anyone who can afford to marry a daughter in the family has to wait at least two years until the daughter is 17 years old before leaving the court.

But when she married Lin Chang this autumn, Xia Jingui was only 16 years old.

A woman is an adult when she is 16 years old, and it is not too early to leave the court at the age of [-], but it seems that the woman's family is in a hurry.

Xia Jingui thought that she was born rich and noble, and the daughter of the family, with a noble status, naturally wanted to delay marriage for a few more years until she was eighteen or nineteen years old, which also appeared to be respectful.

Her mother, Mrs. Lu, is just such a daughter, and treats her almost everything on weekdays, but when it comes to her marriage, she first pressured her to see Lin Chang make an appointment, and then persuaded her earnestly to leave the cabinet this year if she agreed.

Xia Jingui is not very old, so he still has two more years to wait.

But one is that Lin Chang is four years older than Xia Jingui, and this year he is weaker than the crown, so he is really old. Second, it is the reason why Lin Manwei and his wife want Lin Chang and Miss Lian to withdraw their marriage. But Miss Lian's filial piety has delayed the marriage for three years. Let Lin Chang carry on the family line.

If it really respects the meaning of the Xia family, it will take two or three years before Lin Chang and the daughter of the Xia family get married. At that time, Miss Lian will have already become a filial piety. Isn't she really offending the patriarch and his wife to death?

Because Miss Lian entered the genealogy and became a daughter of the lineage of the Lin family, their family was ordered to move out of the Lin residence. Lin Manwei and his wife gradually realized that Miss Lian was not as good as her own daughter with the patriarch and his wife. , in short, it is much stronger than them.

Even if he and his wife don't want to admit it anymore, they have to admit it.

One step has been wrong, since I have accepted my fate, I have to let Chang'er get married as soon as possible to make up the lie, otherwise I will really offend the patriarch and his wife to death, what should I do if Chang'er's future will be affected in the future?

Therefore, after seeing each other as betrothed, Mrs. Wei went to Xia's house and other official matchmakers very diligently, thinking of getting married before Miss Lian's filial piety.

Although the patriarch and his wife are far away in Ganzhou, there are still mother Chen and Lin Ming watching in Beijing!Why don't they report to Ganzhou?

The woman's family wants to hold the wedding later, just for the respect of the man's family, to show that our girls are not casual.

Mrs. Lu intends to keep her daughter for two more years, but seeing Mrs. Wei being so anxious and so considerate, it has been half a year since she got engaged in the fall of last year to the spring of this year.

She thought for a few nights, pulled Xia Jingui and said, "Jingui, I've thought about it, it's better for you and Lin Chang to get married earlier."

Xia Jingui raised his eyebrows and stared immediately, and shook his hands and said, "Mother, what do you mean? People who marry high-ranking daughters have to keep their daughters for two or three years before respecting them. Our family is considered low-married, so how come we have to catch up?"

"Then Mrs. Wei is busy letting me have a grandson, and my mother also wants me to be a cow and a horse early? Is his family a heavenly king and I can't do it? Then Lin Chang is just a man, what kind of 'Golden Phoenix'?"

Lu Shi knew that her daughter would be like this, and sent the maids and women away.

She was robbed, and she wasn't angry at all, but said helplessly, "Jingui, listen to your mother first, okay?"

Xia Jingui sat down angrily, glanced at Mrs. Lu, and said firmly, "Mother said."

Mrs. Lu took her daughter's hand again, and sighed: "His family is already so considerate, and they come here every three days or five times to send east and west. If our family doesn't say anything, outsiders will see that our family is not good. Reasonable."

Xia Jingui snorted coldly: "That's because their family is not polite! In Manjing, who married a wife and forced the woman to set a date?"

Lu's eyes could not help revealing two points of boredom, and wanted to say a few words to her daughter, but thinking of today's purpose, Lu swallowed all the boredom and said with a smile: "Hey, Jingui, it is because of his family You are not polite, you will be able to deal with them in the future."

"This Lin Chang is going to be an official sooner or later. His parents don't know much about this relationship. If the whole family doesn't rely on you, who can they rely on? Everyone is worried that the mother-in-law will not let go of power. As for you, it is the mother-in-law who has to let go, otherwise, it's up to you." Are they ashamed outside?"

These two words made Xia Jingui turn around, and said with a soft snort, "It depends on them inviting me, otherwise, why should I work so hard?"

Seeing that her daughter's attitude was relaxed, Mrs. Lu spoke more vigorously: "Think about it, next year will be the year of the Grand Competition, and my son-in-law is a Juren in the last subject, and he will be able to take the exam in this subject."

"Now he is marrying you as Gao Pan. If he passes the exam next year and becomes a Jinshi of the new department, our two families... But the difference is not too much. How many people are rushing to get a young Jinshi at 21?"

Lu's two words were full of deep meaning, Xia Jingui refused to accept it, and wanted to say it, but after thinking about it for a while, he could only swallow it.

Since ancient times, scholars, farmers, businessmen, scholars have the highest status, and merchants have the lowest status.Although Dayan treats farmers, businessmen, and businessmen equally, regardless of high or low, craftsmen and merchants can be reused by the court, but ordinary merchants are nothing more than ordinary people.

The imperial merchant is different, saying that he is a merchant, but in fact he has a false title conferred by the imperial court, and he is a scholar. Xia Jingui's father was an imperial merchant during his lifetime.

But now that Xia's father has gone, and the imperial merchant title has gone with Xia's father, Xia's family has become a commoner's family in addition to being wealthy.

Last year, the Lu family gave Xia Jingui the family information. Xia Jingui knew that all the businesses in the family could be closed. There were only a few small businesses left that earned thousands of silver a year. Still the grand scene.

With such a situation, Xia Jingui couldn't help but deny it.

Mrs. Lu struck while the iron was hot, and persuaded: "Mother is just a girl, I will never harm you."

"I got married this year. After the new year, you will not be a new wife. You are familiar with everything. When your son-in-law becomes a Jinshi, shouldn't you take over the social affairs outside?"

"Everything in the house will be yours from now on. Mother has already prepared a lot for your dowry. Last year, mother told you that the most important thing is to hold the money in your hands and wait for them to beg you. Don't forget, ah ?”

At this time, Xia Jingui's anger had calmed down, and she nodded impatiently and said, "I know, I know, I will never forget such a big event, and mother, don't underestimate me."

"It's just that if they agreed to their family's marriage this year so easily, I still feel dissatisfied."

Lu's eyes sparkled a little, and he smiled: "Jingui don't worry, I will take care of everything. I don't ask their family to take off two layers of skin to marry you. How will they know how to value you in the future?"

Here, the mother and daughter of the Xia family made an agreement, and when Mrs. Wei came to visit again next time, Mrs. Lu softened her attitude, revealing that she could get married this year.

In fact, the Wei family is not a person who can keep low and be a small person. He has been suffering for half a year, all in order to get back the divorce, hoping to save face with the patriarch and the patriarch's wife in the future.

I really want Lin Chang to marry a girl from a wealthy family to save face, but it is only the secondary reason why she is so hardworking.

After dealing with the Xia family for half a year, Mrs. Wei talked to Mrs. Lu a lot, and knew her a little bit.

Hearing that Lu Shi's attitude relaxed a little, Wei Shi immediately hit the snake with the stick and asked with a smile: "I wonder when the wife in-law thinks it is suitable? I will pick a few good days and send it to the wife in-law when I go back."

Mrs. Wei was very attentive, and after Mrs. Lu missed those two words, her attitude became more arrogant. Instead of answering what Mrs. Wei said, she took a sip of tea first, and then smiled slowly: "Marriage is slow. Prepare slowly, I think there is no rush to set a date."

Seeing the slight change in Wei's expression, Lu lowered his eyes and smiled, and still said slowly: "Brother Chang is indeed promising, he won the Juren at a young age, and you and your parents-in-law are well educated."

"It's just..." Wei's heart was not finished yet, and she got up when she heard this sound, and saw Lu's mouth opening and closing, and spit out a few words: "Our Jingui has been spoiled and spoiled since she was a child. I'm spoiled."

"Since she was six years old, she has lived in a courtyard by herself, next to the garden, three main rooms, east and west rooms, and a study room, all of which are hers alone. There are a dozen maids and women who serve around her, and her dowry It’s also her who has been saving since she was a child, and the furniture in it alone can fill up three rooms.”

"Hey, it's not that I have other intentions. I heard that there are only two courtyards in my in-laws' house, and Brother Chang himself has only three rooms. Where will this dowry girl live in the future? Where does her dowry box go? What about putting it aside?"

"There is also Miss Xing'er who lives opposite her elder brother and sister-in-law... wife in-law, is this really inappropriate?"

Lu Shi smiled all over his face, but Wei Shi's face was stiff, and he couldn't speak after opening his mouth several times.

No matter how she calculates, the money in the family is only so much, and she spends money on eating, drinking and laying out everything throughout the year, and there is no big income, and the money she saves is getting less and less every month.

Lin Manwei and his wife had discussed earlier that they planned to give 1000 taels as a dowry to Chang'er, 600 taels as a dowry to Xing'er, and the remaining one thousand taels. The couple must have some money.

But the two of them counted and counted, but they didn't count that the Xia family didn't want to get married in his current yard!

Lin Man said he was a descendant of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, but he was actually a side branch. Since his grandfather and father, he had been guarding the hundreds of acres of land allocated to him. The family is nothing more than a farmer's family now.

He and Wei's couple have lived for 40 years, most of the time they lived in the family house, although there is also a main room, a wing room, a front yard and a back yard, but it is not as good as that in the city or the Jingzhong courtyard, which are all according to the standard here.

In the days when they lived in the Lin Mansion, they really saw what kind of houses the officials lived in. Even after moving out of the Lin Mansion, the small courtyard they live in now is better than the house in their hometown.

From Lin Manwei's point of view, it is quite spacious for Lin Chang and Lin Xing to have three rooms in the east wing. When Lin Chang is planning to get married, he uses the three east rooms as the wedding room.

When they had a child, Myolie would also leave the court, and they would not be able to live in the three rooms of their own, and there was still a room in the west wing for the child.

Although Xia's family is rich, Miss Xia's room at home may be spacious, but as the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, you will marry a dog with a dog. Since you are his daughter-in-law, her family already knows what your husband's family is like. No comments.

Therefore, Wei Shi never expected that Lu Shi would directly say that her house is too small to accommodate Miss Xia in front of her!
