The skilled widow is busy farming

Chapter 186

The Li family was able to be recognized by Qingliu so quickly. On the one hand, they were originally farmers' scholars, and on the other hand, they raised their children well, mainly to turn illiterate farm girls into girls who can read, read and understand rules. This is particularly important.

It doesn't make any sense for a son to be better educated than another family, but a daughter to be well educated is different. Marrying her as a daughter-in-law is of great benefit to her family.

People are all self-interested. They only do what is good for me. They are not good for me and we have no friendship. What does it have to do with me!

Xiu Niang's brain is always one step ahead of theirs. By the time they notice, she has already led Lijiacun a long way out. She has brought tangible benefits to the villagers and children, and opened up a smooth road to the sky. They have long been different. Then he spoke.

Xiaoli and the girls were weaving tapestry at home and never went out. Things in the capital were too expensive. The three children were shocked when they asked about the price. If they dared to run around, they should just weave tapestry honestly.

In the past two months, many people have asked Xiaoli about the three sisters. Most of them asked Xiaoli whether she was old enough, while the remaining two were a bit young and there were fewer people who could get along with them.

Xiaoya was looking at the list, frowning and not very satisfied.

"Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"

Xu Jing and Yu Lan came over to chat and laugh.

"Looking at the list handed over by other wives, I can see that these families are not very good, and I am not very satisfied."

"I'll see."

Xu Jing took it and looked at it. Her family background was all below seventh grade, not even slightly higher. No wonder her sister-in-law looked down on it.

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you the truth, don't be angry."

"Say, I'm mentally prepared."

Xiaoya sighed.

"Xiaoli's brother is only the seventh-grade county magistrate, and he can only have a future by relying on the Li family. But after all, the second brother and the others are not Xiaoli's real brothers. Naturally, they cannot compare with Yingzi and Qing'er. Yingzi was taught by my mother-in-law. I admit it. There are still some differences among my apprentices, and it is not easy to think about a marriage like Dao Yingzi's."

"I know, I just don't want to accept it. If it's such a marriage, why come all the way to the capital? The hometown and provincial capital are better than this. This family is so poor that they are just waiting for Xiaoli's dowry supplement. This is because they value Yingzi. I have a lot of dowry with Qing'er, I'm thinking about it."

Xiaoya has gained experience now. She is steady, strong, and shrewd, and she is Brother Jing's good wife.

How could I not see this, so I felt a little angry.

"I definitely can't have this. Why don't we think about it at the general's house?"

"It's not impossible, it's just that you need to help. Yingzi is pregnant, so I don't dare to disturb her. The Xie family is so worried about their grandson that I don't dare to go."

Xiaoya knew better and didn't dare to find Yingzi. At least she couldn't tire Yingzi before the baby landed.

"What does this mean? I've already asked my mother's side to inquire about it. Those two are a bit young, so we can wait for a while. I remember that those two younger brothers are also Juren and Jinshi."

"Yes, at present, the ones selected are all brothers with a good reputation. It will be more difficult for those who have no fame at all to come to the capital to choose a marriage."

Xiaoya said it very implicitly.

In fact, other families are also picky. My son is an official, even if he is a seventh-rank official. Those who can settle in the capital are capable and ruthless people. If you don't want anything, why should you choose a peasant girl? People really don't like it.

Some relationships may not be useful if they are a little distant, and others are also self-aware. For example, when Li Rui works in front of the emperor, he is right in front of the emperor. If you approach such a person, Li Rui will talk to you. What benefits do you have to impress him? Don't weigh it in your heart. I can't afford this price.

"If that's the case, maybe I can contribute. If nothing else, the military general's family can look for young and handsome young men."

"Then let's all try, don't stick to one path, and find a good future for our children. This is a lifelong matter and cannot be ignored."

"Okay." The brothers are all busy today and will be back late. Li Rui was taken to drink, and Li Qun stayed with him. He was afraid of getting into trouble alone, but the two brothers had someone to take care of each other.

Li Rui's status is different now. Xiu Niang has set rules for the brothers. They are not allowed to get drunk outside or sleep outside. No matter how late it is, they must go home to sleep. They are not allowed to make unreasonable promises. They are not allowed to bring women home or stay with fireworks. There is no place to play with women, otherwise you will have to kneel in the ancestral hall.

The family rules of the Li family boys were reviewed and modified by Xiu Niang over and over again. They were extremely strict. Those who did not abide by the rules would be punished in a light way. In serious cases, they would be expelled from the clan and given up completely.

If Erlang can't teach well, the foundation of the whole family will be rotten, and then the family will be completely ruined.

Brother Chun was taken home by Zhou Yi to take the exam today, and he didn't come back to eat, so the women in the house ate alone.

"Sister-in-law, let's have a hot pot. It's a little spicier. Let's get some good food. Let's get some ham and seafood to supplement the food for the sisters."

"Okay, let the kitchen do it. Get the scallops and chicken soup."

Xiaoya immediately ordered her servants to prepare.

"Three children are still weaving tapestry?"

"I haven't been out much. I guess it's because things are expensive. Now that I have business to do, I don't go out much. But I'm very diligent about sending letters and small gifts."

"It looks like it's not as easy as Qing'er's."

Xu Jing sighed, it was not easy for these clan girls.

"Qing'er is so brilliant. Not everyone can compare with her."

Magnolia smiled and shook her head.

This sister-in-law is particularly smart, has a pure heart, and has a spring breeze in everything she does. She can get things done without too much effort. Her sweet words speak to your heart, making you particularly fond of her.

Xiaoli and the others are still a little behind, but they are better because they know everything they need to know, they are cautious, and they are not afraid of the children making mistakes.

"Hello, sisters-in-law."

"You are here. Your sister-in-law told you not to be too tired."

"I'm not tired either. I get up early to exercise, then read and practice calligraphy and painting. In the afternoon I weave tapestry. There's no point in being anxious. tapestry is not something to be anxious about. If you don't rush, you have to weave tapestry slowly and calmly. What comes out is It looks good. My sisters make handkerchiefs, and we walk around the garden every day. These are all taught by my husband. Everything must be done with ease. It is wrong to use too much force."

Xiaoli explained with a smile.

"Well, then I can rest assured. Qian'er, your brother specifically told me to come and see you, so that you don't break your body. It's not worth it."

Xu Jing also took her three sisters to sit down and gave them friendly instructions.

"Thank you brother and sister-in-law for your love. We don't know how to do it. My husband teaches us at home. This routine is the daily routine in the school. We are all used to it. This is the habit cultivated by our husband."

Xiaoli smiled.

Xu Jing was stunned for a moment. Her mother-in-law had considered everything and integrated it into the children's daily routine, making it a long-term habit. This way, they would not be afraid of making mistakes, and to a certain extent, the children would learn to be steady and cautious.

"Sister-in-law, I'm hungry. What should we eat for dinner?"

The little clan girl asked in a low voice.

"Eat the pot and ask someone to prepare the meal. The children are hungry. There are a lot of fresh vegetables now. Your brother and the others have something to do and they will come back late. We eat by ourselves. We eat from the hot pot. The chicken soup and seafood broth are used. Let's boil the vegetables and eat them. .”
