Spatial Farm Life: Raising My Kid, Abusing Scum, and Keeping Busy With Life

After all the guests had left, Yuan Jiaqi and Qiao Mai looked at every table stupidly, all of them were empty.

You are really welcome, the food is clean.

The servants cleared the table, and the whole family rested separately. It is really tiring to marry a daughter-in-law, and it is really not easy.

Mrs. Wang saw the banquet at Qiao's house, and followed the old lady back to Penglai Pavilion.

"Mother, when Zihan gets married, can the banquet be the same as Qiao's?"

"You have to talk to Miss Qiao about this, she provided the ingredients for the kitchen,"

"Okay, I'll go find her"

Qiao Mai was drinking tea and resting, when she heard Mrs. Wang calling her from the yard, Yuan Jiaqi asked her with his eyes.

"Call her in, you don't have to hide, just listen"

He went out to welcome Mrs. Wang into the room, and she came and sat opposite Qiao Mai.

"I came here to discuss something with you."

"Say it"

"On the day of Zihan's wedding, can you borrow your cook so that you can provide me with the ingredients like today?"

"Yes, I can serve you both the ingredients and the cook,"

"thank you"

"Just treat it as our Qiao family's gift, is that okay?"

"How much money did you spend on today's banquet?"

"One hundred thousand taels of silver is only a lot of food."

Mrs. Wang gasped, "Then I will thank you for Zihan."

"You're welcome."

Mrs. Wang left, and the Yuan family sent her to the gate of the courtyard. When she came back, she saw Qiao Mai's gloomy face.

"What's wrong?"

"I'll just say that this Jiaru can do whatever she likes, dare to behave like her mother."

"Just now she asked the price of today's ingredients, what does that mean?"

"Hmph, you don't think she wants to give me money, but inquire about the price to see how important my gift is."

"I didn't expect this Mrs. Wang to be so small-minded."

"It looks very atmospheric."

"I heard that her natal family is also an important minister in the court, who is it?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to know, whoever I love, I'm no more than a first-rank official. I'm not afraid even if I become a knight or king. The reason why I give her face is entirely for the sake of the old man and the old lady."

"Oh~"

After completing another task, Qiao Mai's mood became more relaxed. The hearts of the two daughters-in-law were all in Qiao's house.

This made Qiao Mai very gratified. They all regarded this place as their own home, and the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law used to be best friends, but now they are sisters-in-law, and they get along very well.

Didn't Madam Mu hand over the power of the family just after offering tea and acknowledging their relatives?

"Mother, I'm heavy now, and it's a bit difficult to run the house. It just happened that Qing Ling came in, so I'll leave it to her. If there's anything I don't understand, I can teach her."

"You two can figure it out, whoever is in charge of the house will do, just take care of the family affairs."

In this way, the new daughter-in-law started to run the house the next day after she entered the house. After the Xiao family heard about this, they all said that the daughter-in-law married the right family.

On the day of returning home, the home-return gift prepared by the mother-in-law Qiao Mai was also the same as the gift from the eldest daughter-in-law when she returned home.

This became a good story in the capital, the old emperor sighed when he heard about it, and Yu Bao asked puzzledly.

"My lord, why are you sighing?"

"I went to Qiao's wedding that day, but I didn't see Mrs. Qiao."

"She looks very ordinary, but she is a little better than other women."

"Which point?"

"White, very white, icy muscles and bones are not an exaggeration"

"Well, one white covers three ugliness, how can the important minister I like marry a woman who is worthless."

"Hey, I heard that Mrs. Yuan is submissive and submissive under Mrs. Qiao's control, and never gets close to any woman."

"Well, I know this. Otherwise, Princess Yihe had to marry him, and he would rather die than marry, just for this woman. Sure enough, the imperial husband has the right way."

"Speaking of this, the servant finds it very strange."

"What's up?"

"When the princess came back from the north, she seemed to have completely forgotten Master Yuan. She also agreed to the marriage you arranged, and married obediently. This is not the character of a princess."

"I've asked, and she said she can't remember anything, it's good if she can't remember, so as not to worry about other people's husbands, and let the world see my jokes."

Yu Bao lowered his head and said nothing, his eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.

Having been in the capital for more than two years, many people in the capital wanted to give their daughters to the Yuan family as concubines, and some high-ranking officials even wanted their daughters to be concubines, but they were all scolded by the Yuan family.

Why scold? If Haosheng told them, these people would not listen.

Only by scolding them would they get angry and tear themselves apart, so that no one would send women away. He didn't care about the royal family, any rich family, or any expensive family, anyway, he would scold him as long as he gave away a woman.

Scolding people is uneasy and kind, and sending a woman is to make him and his wife quarrel, to make him a villain, and to keep his house safe.

Who would dare to scold him so much? In the past two years, he has almost scolded him all over the court.

Many people went to the palace to file complaints in private. When the emperor heard about this, he wanted to reward Yuan's family with a few maids, but he stopped thinking about it.

He also scolded those who complained back. The courtiers he valued must of course be protected. It’s not a problem not to accept women.

So in the past two years, Qiao's family has been very quiet.

Some people saw that they couldn't send it to Yuan's family, so they wanted to give it to Brother Fengyun. There was an unobtrusive one who wanted to send his daughter to be a concubine just a few days after Xiao Qingling entered the house.

Immediately, she was scolded by Qiao Mai, Mrs. Mu, and Mrs. Xiao. The three women had a scene, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were pinching their waists, standing at the gate of Jixiangyuan, like three tigresses, and they kept going out in the capital again. named.

Jixiangyuan is like a fortress of iron and steel, many people envy them, but they can't get in.

Yuan Jiaqi also posted a notice at the door of his house, advising those people in the capital not to stuff women into their house, or they will go to the Yamen to tell them to spare them.

When Mu Shi and Xiao Shi are alone together, they are often thankful that they have a good mother-in-law.

They are never allowed to pay their respects, and the family affairs are all discussed, and they have always spoken in a soft voice to them.

If you have good things, you should think about your daughter-in-law first, and you will not disagree with their requests as long as they are reasonable.

Chuan'er and Zihan were assigned to the Imperial Academy. One was a sixth-rank official and the other was a deputy sixth-rank official. They were slightly stronger than the original Yuan family.

In June, the rainy season in the south has arrived, but living in Jixiangyuan is very refreshing.

It rains as it falls, and the ground is always clean. Mrs. Wang is used to living here, so she doesn't want to go back.

She took a fancy to the second daughter of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites, but they asked a matchmaker to say that it was Chuan'er, because this Mrs. Wang had been angry for a long time.

"Although my husband is a fourth-rank official, even if he doesn't want to go back to Beijing, otherwise he would have been a first-rank official. Why do you think people are inferior."

In fact, it's not that they look down on her. In ancient times, the emphasis was on the right family. Both the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Officials were first-rank officials, and they were evenly matched.

But Mrs. Wang had a high heart, so she wanted to find a daughter-in-law from a high family. She picked and picked, she fell in love with the Qian family, which was the Mayor Qian's own family, who was also the prostitute's daughter. The highest official position of the Qian family in the capital was the second rank.

Miss Qian is very good looking, and she has just turned sixteen, so she has more than enough gametes.

Fortunately, the Qian family did not dislike Zihan, and both parties had met each other and were very satisfied with each other, so Mrs. Wang wrote a letter to Wang Zongsheng, asking him to come to Beijing as soon as possible.

In mid-June, a matchmaker went to Qian's house to propose marriage. At the end of the month, Wang Zongsheng took his wife and son to Qian's house to make an engagement.

In July, Wang Zongsheng took his wife and son to live in Bichunyuan. The dowry was about to be hired, and the dowry could not be paid from Jixiangyuan.

No matter how good the relationship is, this is someone else's family, and there is no reason to hire someone else.

Even Wang Zongsheng understands the truth, but this Mrs. Wang is not happy. It is really too face-saving to marry a daughter-in-law in Jixiangyuan. Mrs. Wang really wants to save face.
