Chapter 523 Wei Yan
Naturally, Chu Lixuan and his wife didn't know about the Emperor Xichu's personal expedition. Even if they knew about it, they wouldn't care. If they wanted to fight, they would fight.
The couple washed up and came to the dining room, just in time for lunch. Because today's Chu Lixuan's birthday, the lunch consisted of eight dishes and one soup.
Jiang Xinyan's sharp eyes found that there was a strange beauty on the table, but she didn't care.
"Xuan'er, Yan'er, you guys are back, then we'll have dinner." The eldest princess didn't even know that the couple got up!
She thought that the couple came back from work outside, so she didn't say that both the Wei family and the Nie family were there.
Recently, the double rush is in a hurry. Everyone gets up early to work. Usually, Chu Lixuan and his wife go to the field very early to direct everyone to work.
The eldest princess, Jinniang and Aunt Chu didn't work in the fields because they couldn't bear the hardship and couldn't learn.
Jiang Xinyan assigned them to a maid-servant according to the standard, and relived the life of a wealthy lady.
The women and Chu Ruo who came down from the cave before were still used to working, so they would work with everyone.
The married women usually either go to the grain drying farm to dry the grain, or send iced watermelon and mung bean paste to the working people to eat.
The female relatives of the Wei family and the Nie family both have maids, so they are not arranged to work.
Jiang Xinyan has clearly stipulated that their sons and grandchildren should contribute more to the castle, and they can continue to live the lives of their ladies and misses as before.
It's not that she wants to take care of them, but Jiang Xinyan feels that not only can the daughter and his wife not be able to do farm work, but they will be a disservice.
On the contrary, it is really unnecessary to increase everyone's workload. Until next year, Jiang Xinyan may have to take measures to divide the fields and work alone.
Eating a big pot of rice is not a long-term solution, it is just a stopgap solution when everyone is poor.
Divide the fields and work alone, and let some people get rich first according to their abilities. That is the inevitable model for the castle to live in harmony.
Wei Dabin, Nie Cimeng, and Zhao Yu have strong executive ability, so they really did not arrange for the female relatives of the Wei family and Nie family to work.
Wei Dabin and Nie Cimeng told their mother and sisters to visit their wife and eldest princess as well as the old lady Jinniang.
Wei Dabin and the others did not know that today, their father and wife have not woken up so late, and everyone is used to getting up early.
This morning, the eldest princess and Jinniang met with the female relatives of the Wei family and the Nie family. A mighty group of people was like a gathering when they were still in the capital.
Fortunately, Jinniang and the others have a big palace and a bigger garden, and now they have a maid and a maid, and they are not short of snacks and tea.
It was not difficult to entertain, Chu Fang, Chu Yue, the daughters-in-law of the second room, Chu Ye and Chu Jiao all accompanied him.
Before Chu Ruo and Chu Hua got married, they worked together behind their men, not with their grandmother and mother.
After getting married, it is rare to see their grandmother and mother kissing, and they have lived their own little days.
Jiang Xinyan and Chu Lixuan even directed everyone together, and everyone was used to the two of them, the two gods, not seeing each other.
When the female family members of the Nie family were in the capital, they didn't have much friendship with the eldest princess and Jin Niang. Their level was not high enough, and they were just nodding acquaintances when they met at the banquet.
At this time, they were all behind the Wei family's female relatives, wanting to get to know each other well. After all, they were going to meet their entire family's food and clothing parents today.
The other female relatives of the Wei family are not familiar with the eldest princess, but the second uncle of the Wei family married the cousin of Jinniang, the daughter of the Cui family.
Second Uncle Wei had a main room and two concubines, and gave birth to seven children in total. Second Aunt Wei was the daughter of Jin Niang's second uncle, and she gave birth to two boys and one girl.
The eldest son was nineteen years old and ranked third in the Wei family, his daughter was sixteen years old and ranked seventh, and the youngest son was thirteen years old.
Aunt Wei's daughter's name is Wei Yan, and she is called Miss Seven in the Wei family. The Wei brothers have never separated.
The eldest son of the Wei family, Wei Dabin, the second miss is his sister, the third son is the eldest son of a girl from the Cui family, the fourth miss is the eldest daughter of Wei's third uncle, and both the second and fourth are married.
The Wei family and the Nie family resigned and returned to their hometowns, so the married daughters stayed in the capital to continue to be young ladies, and the unmarried daughters came here with them.
When the boys got married, they brought their families along with them, and some of the Yue family members kept the Wei family and Nie family men in the capital.
The eldest son of the second uncle Wei, the third son of the Wei family did not resign, but stayed in the capital with his wife and children and his father-in-law's family.
Girls in Dongchen Country usually start getting married at the age of 12, and get married at the age of 15. For example, Wei Yan did not get married at the age of 16 because her betrothed fiance died in battle.
Wei Yan's fiance is the third son of the Lu family. The Lu family was the emperor's favorite three years ago, and the noble girls in the capital are vying to marry.
Wei Yan of the Wei family, because her mother is the daughter of the Cui family, and the Cui family has a noble concubine, so the Lu family is also happy to marry.
Wei Yan has been engaged to the third son of the Lu family for three years, and she had been waiting for Wei Yan to get married last year.
Unexpectedly, when encountering a plague of locusts, and then there was a war in Nanman, and Wei Yan's fiance died in the battle.
This good marriage was in vain, because the war in the capital also made people panic. Before Wei Yan could see each other again, the Wei family returned to their ancestral home.
Second Aunt Wei could only take her children and follow the Wei family to this place where birds don't shit.
Their mother and daughter both complained about the decision of the grandfather of the Wei family, but the second uncle Wei wanted to come with his father, so they could only come along with grievances.
The main reason is that their life in the capital was not easy, and every household was short of food. It was not like her mother's family would not care about more meals for their mother and daughter.
At least they won't be disliked by following the Wei family, especially when they came here and ate two delicious meals.
Aunt Wei learned that this huge castle belonged to her third cousin's son, and the mother and daughter wanted to curry favor with Jinniang.
After they saw the eldest princess and Jin Niang, they decided to be more friendly, so Wei Yan did not go back with the other female relatives, but chose to stay with Jin Niang.
Then Wei Yan naturally followed Jin Niang, and Chu Ye was several years younger than her, so the two of them couldn't play together.
During dinner, Chu Lixuan helped Xiaojiao wife serve soup, pick vegetables, and pick fishbones as usual. The couple looked as if nothing had happened.
Wei Yan was so envious, she spoke to Jin Niang with a more sensible smile, hoping to attract everyone's attention.
Chu Lixiang's fingers have been healed, and he is still as cute as ever. He made one or two new friends today, let's talk about it to everyone.
It made Jiang Xinyan and Chu Lixuan smile at each other. The man was so good-looking, when he wasn't smiling, his face was cold.
For example, the mountains covered with white snow are unattainable and daunting. When you smile, it is like melting ice and snow, returning to the earth in spring, and it is beautiful and dazzling.
It's like walking into a hundred gardens that bloom in spring, making people linger and forget to leave.
Wei Yan looked at Chu Lixuan stupidly.
