On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 96 Marry

Mrs. Chen nodded: "Please come in."

Although she is the wife of a county magistrate, she is always kind to others, so she has a good reputation outside.

It's not that she wants to be nice, it's mainly because she's afraid that a strong dragon can't suppress a local snake. The couple has discussed the division of labor and cooperation. Magistrate Chen should be more aggressive with others. If he offends someone, he, as his wife, can use the diplomacy of wives to ease the relationship. .

All in all, they are a wonderful couple.

Father Jiang and Jiang Yu came in and saluted and said hello.

The servants from the Chen family came in behind and placed the gifts they brought on the table next to them.

Jiang's father was still very dedicated. He checked Mrs. Chen's pulse first, and finally gave her a box of Plum Blossom Tongue Pills: "It can clear away heat and detoxify, eliminate carbuncles and dissipate stagnation. If Mrs. Chen uses it well, I will just send someone to the pharmacy to get it in the future."

"Thank you, Doctor Jiang. Please sit down!" Mrs. Chen asked the maid to serve tea.

After some more pleasantries, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Outside, Aunt Wu led her sister-in-law over. She heard the maid guarding the door say that the master and his wife were entertaining guests, with a smile on her face.

As a concubine, I am destined not to be able to entertain guests with the master.

Even if his brother and sister-in-law come over, they can't be regarded as serious relatives, and they can only call him 'sir'.

She didn't know whether to blame the master for being too strict with rules, or whether she should blame the wife for being so clever and capable of holding the position of wife even without her biological children.

She asked the maid: "Who is this guest?"

This is not impossible to say: "Aunt Hui, she is the owner and young owner of Huichun Hall."

After the maid finished speaking and invited them into the side room, Aunt Wu took advantage of the maid to go down to serve tea and whispered to her: "You can take a look for yourself later. The young master's family should have just come back."

"It's a pity that the young master has already married someone before him. Fortunately, he didn't leave any heirs."

"However, the Jiang family is relatively clean. None of the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren have taken in concubines or taken in a single house..."

Aunt Wu's brother and sister-in-law are Mr. Wu and his family who escaped from Yuzhang with the Xiao family.

When something happened to the Xiao family, they were afraid of being implicated. Fortunately, they had made an appointment with the escort agency and arrived safely in Wushang, Wuzhou.

After asking around, I found out that County Magistrate Chen had been transferred to Wuning County two years ago.

The Wu family has only been in Wuning County for five days.

I originally thought that Mrs. Chen had no heirs, and Aunt Wu who gave birth to a son must be very famous.

Unfortunately, when they met, they discovered that the children were all registered in Mrs. Chen's name. The eldest son and the second son grew up in front of Mrs. Chen.

They are closer to their biological mother than to their biological mother.

Fortunately, after raising two sons, Mrs. Chen is no longer interested in raising children, and now Aunt Wu can raise her daughter.

Over the years, Aunt Wu has become more sensible.

The main reason is that County Magistrate Chen treats her well on weekdays, but if she dares to give his wife eye drops, Magistrate Chen will not see her for a month.

Mrs. Chen would also ask her to copy Buddhist scriptures to cultivate her moral character, and also stipulated how many pages of Buddhist scriptures she should copy every day.

When copying Buddhist scriptures, of course you cannot eat big fish or meat, only vegetables and small porridge.

One month later, she lost more than ten kilograms!

Magistrate Chen got a weak Liu Fufeng for nothing, and I felt pity for my aunt.

It also gave Mrs. Chen a sensible and obedient ‘sister’.

He also killed the chicken to scare the monkeys, so that Aunt Yang, who had given birth to another son, became as obedient as a cat.

Fortunately, Mrs. Chen was not a mean person. When she heard that Aunt Wu's family had come to seek refuge, she also met them and allowed them to stay in the front yard temporarily.

Mrs. Wu thought the front yard was too small. There were only three main rooms and two side rooms on the left and right. There were only five members of their family, as well as two young men, a mother-in-law and a maid. The house was really crowded and there was no place to stay. .

Aunt Wu has raised her daughter over the years. Aunt Wu has three taels of silver a month, and her daughter has five taels of silver a month. In addition, during the holidays, the master and his wife also give gold and silver jewelry, or fabric jewelry.

She rarely had the chance to go out, and she didn't have much to spend money on, so she pawned her dull jewelry every year. In the past ten years, I have saved nearly a thousand taels of silver.

Now that her eldest brother's family is in trouble, she also gave them five hundred taels to buy a yard outside.

But Mr. Wu wanted to stay in Chen Mansion for a few more days.

When he comes to an unfamiliar place, he is afraid of being excluded and looked down upon.

Now that I live in the county magistrate's house, I will be looked down upon when I go out.

Therefore, they are not too crowded and wish they could live here for a year and a half.

Mrs. Wu even wanted to make arrangements for her children's marriage while she was still living in the Chen Mansion.

The eldest son is nineteen, and the eldest daughter is also seventeen. There really is no time to delay.

I thought that if my eldest son was born as a child, he would be able to pass the examination and become a scholar, which would make it easier for him to get married.

But now that the Wu Kingdom is in chaos and the scientific examinations have been suspended, if we don't find a good marriage for our children while living in the county magistrate's house, it will be even harder to find satisfactory in-laws in the future.

Fortunately, Mrs. Chen also wanted to find a good match for her second son in the past two years, and Aunt Wu also listened to many families.

Miss Wu, on the other hand, is a bit difficult to handle.

Because when a man gets married, he can find a girl a few years younger.

But Miss Wu is already seventeen years old, and the young men and young men who are two or three years older than her are either engaged or already married.

More importantly, the Wu family wants their daughter to marry high.

Even if she can't marry the son of the county magistrate's family, she still wants to marry into a wealthy family so that she can be the master of the family and help her natal family in the future.

For this reason, Aunt Wu specially hired a matchmaker and selected more than twenty suitable unmarried people, including Jiang Yu.

What's more coincidental is that the Jiang family and his son are here today, so Aunt Wu wants her sister-in-law to meet someone.

After the Jiang family father and son came out, they happened to meet Aunt Wu and they also bowed her hands and said, "I've met Aunt Wu."

County Magistrate Chen has been here for more than two years. When people eat whole grains, they need a doctor.

Jiangjia Huichun Tang has a good reputation in Wuning County, and it was also invited to treat Aunt Wu.

Aunt Wu smiled: "It turns out that Dong Jiang's family is here."

Then he looked at Jiang Yu: "Is this the young master's house?"

"I've met my aunt." Jiang Yu was a little unaccustomed to it. The way they looked at him was as hot as a wolf seeing a sheep.

He was a little annoyed, feeling that Aunt Wu just had no rules, and even Mrs. Chen would not stare at him like this.

Could it be that Mr. Chen's waist is failing? So that the aunt in the house couldn't move her eyes away when she saw him?

This made him afraid to come to the house again.

Fortunately, I am not good at medical skills and it is not my turn to make medical appointments.

The maid invited them in and escorted the Jiang family and his son out.

After leaving the Chen Mansion, Jiang Yu hurriedly went to see the Xiao family: "Dad, can you go back first? I'll send a message to the Xiao family so that they can feel at ease."

"Silly boy!" Even Jiang's father felt a little sad when he saw his son putting the Xiao family first in everything.

She was giving birth to a son, so why could she suddenly feel the sadness of the water thrown away by her married daughter?

He said earnestly: "You also know that your mother has opinions about the Xiao family now. If you still go to the Xiao family now, then your mother will definitely be dissatisfied with Miss Xiao."

"You have to go back and please your mother first."

"Just ask someone to send them a message, so your mother won't trouble Miss Xiao."
