Chapter 119 Said that the marriage has no right to Xiangshi

There were a few sweet potatoes baked in the brazier, and the old lady gave one to Jia Youchuan. Jia Youchuan was living a better life, so he asked the old lady,

"Grandma, do you have any meat to eat today?"

For the sake of the one tael of silver, the old lady smiled and twisted Jia Youchuan's little face,
"Yes, yes... just wait, grandma will show you!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and went out, and came in with a bowl after a while, and put a chicken leg in it,
"Good boy... hurry up and eat!"

Jia Youchuan took the bowl, gnawed it unceremoniously, and asked the old lady with a smile,

"What job in the yamen is so easy to earn money, why don't you find a way to get one for your brothers?"

Xiang Shi replied,

"It's not a serious errand, it's just helping cook in the yamen for a few days..."

The old lady Xiang insisted that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and that if you don’t earn money, you are a fool. She refused to let go of the opportunity, and hurriedly answered,

"Your eldest brother can also cook, why don't you ask him to go, if it doesn't work...it's okay to let your eldest brother's wife go too!"

Xiang Shi shook his head and replied,

"Mother, this is impossible. Not everyone can enter a yamen like Fusi in Beizhen. Only relatives of the family can enter and cook..."

Beizhen Fusi yamen is different from the yamen next to it. The yamen next to it go in to work as handymen. At most, they can ask about their background and where they live. If they do handymen in Beizhen Fusi, they have to check their ancestors for three generations. The family members of the younger generation cook, as long as they yell outside, most of them are crowded.

Hearing the words to the old lady, I was a little disappointed, and then said unrelentingly,
"Our family is also a clean family, and your brothers are all honest people with solid eyes!"

What he said, not to mention Xiang Shi, even Jia Youchuan on the side spat out the chicken in his mouth with a puff, without raising his head, he said,

"Grandmother, Brother Xiang Gui is still in exile, I wonder if he has arrived?"

Even Jia Youchuan, an ignorant guy, knows that there is a murderer in the family, so why does the family dare not call them innocent!
His words hit the sore spot of the old lady, the old lady's face changed, and just about to have a seizure, she heard someone talking outside,
"Alas! Her aunt...how did you come here?"

Is this a visitor?
The old lady was a little surprised. The second year of junior high school was the day when she went back to her mother's house. If there were guests, it would be the daughter and son-in-law. Other people would not come to the door.

The old lady hurriedly raised the curtain to welcome her out, and said in surprise when she saw the person coming,
"Why is her aunt here today?"

The visitor laughed,

"Grandmother in-law, it is said that she shouldn't come to the house today, but I really want to find his aunt for something. Is his aunt at home?"

nod to the old lady,

"Here, just arrived!"

Said to let people into the house,
"It's cold outside, come in and talk!"

But he brought the person into the house, and Xiang Shi was also surprised when he saw the person coming.

"Isn't this her aunt? How can you... find me something?"

The person who came was the aunt of Xiang Fuxin's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liao, Mrs. Liao said with a smile,

"I originally planned to look for you, but I don't know where you live in this inner city. I thought that today is the day when I return to the house on the second day of the junior high school, so I came to talk to you..."

Liao Shi made a special trip to look for Xiang Shi, of course it was not just talking in his mouth, seeing the old lady, she let her into the room and sat down, Liao Shi put a box of dried fruit in his hand on the table, pushed it towards the old lady Too Tao,
"I didn't bring you anything when I came here today, a few fruits, you are eating sweet mouth..."

When the old lady saw the dried fruit box, she laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, she took it over and said,

"Her aunt is really polite, too polite!"

Xiang asked her,
"What's the matter with her aunt?"

Mrs. Liao caught a glimpse of Jia Youchuan who was gnawing on a chicken leg, understood Mrs. Liao, and said to her son,

"Lao Qi, go outside and play..."

Jia Youchuan glanced at Liao Shi, answered with a shout and went out with the bowl in his hand. When he went out the door, he turned around and immediately squatted under the window, and heard Liao Shi inside saying,
"Auntie, I'm a straightforward person, and I don't like to talk around corners, so I'll just say it..."

Xiang Shi nodded,

"You say……"

Liao Dao,
"My natal family has a nephew who lives far away. He is sixteen this year and is talking about marriage. I met the four girls of your family before. They are beautiful, but they are capable. Today I want to talk to you about this family. Dear..."

Seeing her posture in front of her, Xiang Shi already had some guesses in her heart. Hearing this, she hummed and waited for her next words, then she heard Liao Shi say again,

"This is the child of my distant cousin's family. Mr. Xiao Lang was born neatly and handsomely. There are fields and land at home, and there is a girl to take care of him..."

He paused and laughed,

"I won't hide it from you, just one thing. Their family is in Tongzhou, which is far away and in the countryside. I don't know if you can take a fancy to them?"

Xiang Shi thought for a while and replied,
"Her aunt, what I said earlier wasn't an excuse. It's actually about our Silian's marriage. Her father had already said that she would stay with her for three years. The son-in-law needs to be chosen by him, the father himself!"

Liao smiled and said,

"It's natural for the parents to make decisions about children's marriage. The fourth girl in your family is capable. I like it very much from the front. It doesn't matter if you stay at home for three years, but let's settle the marriage first and pass the door after three years." It is also done!"

"This one……"

The daughter next to her was fine, Si Lian was Jia Jincheng's darling, and Xiang could not be beaten or scolded, and she really didn't dare to accept the marriage easily. Seeing her hesitation, Liao naturally knew about the important marriage. It didn't happen just by saying it, so he smiled immediately,
"It's not urgent. You go back and discuss it with his eldest uncle. I will go to the inner city to find you again in a few days?"

Xiang Shi guessed that this matter might not work, and she went to let Jia Jincheng know that she was afraid of being scolded, so she thought about it,
"The inner city is too far away, why not wait for you here every few days?"

Liao nodded,

"That's okay!"

The two of them said these things in front of the old lady, and after Liao Shi left, the old lady said to Xiang Shi,
"That girl Silian is not young, she should be dismissed, she is still in power at home, dismiss her, so you can hold Jia Jincheng's money again!"

Xiang smiled wryly,
"Mother, don't you think I don't want to, but his father is very protective, and he told me on the day of the [-]th that he wants to keep Si Lian at home for three years..."

hummed to the old lady,

"What to keep, stay for another three years and four lotus will be sixteen. Look at her eldest cousin who just came in, and she is only fifteen. Now this family can do a lot of work outside the house. How many more sons will she have in the future? , then the little family can stand up, he spoils his daughter, you can't spoil him!"

Xiang Shi looked embarrassed,
"I'll go back and talk to Jia Jincheng!"

After returning to Jia's house, Jia Jincheng went home, Si Lian and the others were still in the yamen, Da Lian, Er Lian, and San Lian led their husbands and children back to their mother's house, and greeted her when she came back.

"mother!"

Xiang Shi looked at the three of them, and saw that the third daughter's face was a little pale, and her waist and hips swayed differently when she was walking. She had given birth to several of them herself, and she knew at a glance that the third daughter was pregnant, so she asked,
"How many months?"

Sanlian blushed,
"It's been three months..."

Xiang Shi nodded, looked at the third son-in-law who was following his daughter-in-law step by step, and smiled stupidly at his daughter-in-law when he heard San Lian's words, and muttered,

"It's not too stupid!"

A man who can give birth to a son is still useful, if not, Sanlian is really hopeless!

Entering the main room from this room, I saw Jia Jincheng was talking to the eldest son-in-law and the second son-in-law, and several grandsons and granddaughters were playing around in the room. The two sons-in-law got up and saluted when they saw her,
"mother in law……"

The children also came over to call their grandmother, nodded to Shi, glanced at the three piles of things on the table, the largest pile must belong to Sanlian, a box of dried fruit, a piece of green cloth belonged to the second son-in-law, two pieces of bacon, A cloth bag of rice must belong to the second son-in-law's family, Xiang glanced at the second son-in-law with some dissatisfaction, then turned to ask Jia Jincheng,
"Master, when did you come back?"

Jia Jincheng replied,
"I came back at noon. Today, Silian and the others won't be able to come back until dark. You and Dalian and the others should cook!"

Nodding to Shi, Jia Jincheng asked,
"Where's Seventh?"

Xiang Shi waved his hand,

"He's playing with his third brother-in-law outside!"

Jia You said that Wang Xiang was pestering Wang Xiang to play, he was pestering him for New Year's money, the two brothers-in-law, one was too picky and couldn't give a few coppers, and the other was too poor and couldn't give a few coins, it was this third brother-in-law People are stupid and have a lot of money. Jia You heard that the third brother-in-law called out a few times. Wang Xiang took out a handful of copper coins from his sleeve pocket and gave it to him.

"Is there any more...give me some more!"

Wang Xiang chuckled and pulled his sleeves tightly so he wouldn't show them.

"For...four lotus...five lotus, six lotus..."

Jiayou preached to coax him,
"You give me...I give them the same..."

Wang Xiang hesitated for a moment, but still held on tightly, shaking his head,

"For four lotus, five lotus and six lotus..."

The daughter-in-law said that the New Year's money should be handed over to someone by hand. Jia You heard that he couldn't coax him, so he snorted, threw off his sleeves and turned in.
"Father, eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law!"

Seeing Jia Youchuan, the two brothers-in-law also took out their sleeves and handed over the copper coin. Jia Youchuan held the coin and smiled and narrowed his eyes. Jia Jincheng asked him,
"Is there enough to eat at my grandfather's house?"

Jiayou Chuan nodded,
"Today my grandmother gave me chicken legs!"

Jia Jincheng was a little surprised when he heard this,

"Your grandmother has changed her temper?"

Jia Youchuan glanced at the two brothers-in-law, and finally thought about his mother for a while, and didn't say anything about Xiang's giving a tael of silver, but only replied vaguely,

"I asked her what she wanted..."

Jia Jincheng heard something strange, and with the temperament of the old lady, let alone asking for it, even if she fell down on the ground and rolled around, if she didn't want to give it, Jia You said that he might not even be able to eat a chicken feather, so he felt faint. Having guessed, he didn't want to ask more questions in front of his two sons-in-law, but just nodded with a sullen face. Jia You heard that he didn't speak, but he leaked the truth to his father again.
"Father, someone wants to marry Si Lian today..."

"Oh……"

Jia Jincheng frowned,
"who is it?"

Jiayou said,
"It's my cousin's aunt, she said it's her distant nephew, sixteen..."
