Chapter 185 A Few Pieces of Conscience Suddenly Ached
The Yu family's third branch was unaware of the bloody turmoil brewing in the Marquis's mansion.
They each had their own things to do.
After Yu Ziheng became a compiler in the Hanlin Academy, he was so busy that he couldn't move an inch.
Before dawn, he would check the land tax records of the prefectures and counties, and when he was off duty, he would also organize the river map. His blue satin official robes were often stained with vermilion ink.
Yu Kangjing was also busy at Dali Temple. The case of the theft of the grain transport silver from Yangzhou, which was reported by express courier, arrived. He was so busy that he almost lived at Dali Temple.
Shen Jinzhu was busy preparing for Yu Ziheng's wedding. In three months, it would be the day of Ziheng's wedding to the Xie family's daughter.
Yu Zicong liked building courtyards, so his mother sent him to the outskirts of Beijing to renovate a villa.
After my sister-in-law marries into the family, the whole family can go to a hot spring together for the Chinese New Year.
Even Yu Ziying wasn't idle.
Last year, Yu Ningyao developed a hot pot base, which he then improved. Now, with the help of the Shen family, it is being sold in Sichuan.
Hot pot base is very popular in Sichuan.
The Shen family decided to find a partner in Sichuan, share the base ingredient formula with them, and cooperate with them in production and sales.
Yu Ziying decided to personally travel a long distance to meet with the business partner.
He was accompanied by Shen's eldest maternal uncle.
Not to mention Yu Ningyao, her mission is not yet completed, and the system is urging her so much that she dreams of practicing martial arts.
After all, the requirement for system tasks is mastery, not just learning.
The whole family was busy, and no one was idle.
As they busied themselves, the day of Yu Ziheng and Xie Yuntan's wedding arrived.
As the eldest uncle, Yu Kangping naturally had to attend the wedding banquet.
But Cui Ruixin was confined to her home.
Now that Zhang Yunyi has taken control of the Hou family mansion and holds the reins of power, Cui Ruixin is furious.
She never expected that the person she had nurtured for over twenty years would side with Zhang Yunyi in just three months.
She now only hopes that her second daughter-in-law can marry into the family soon, so that they can join forces to deal with Zhang Yunyi.
"Madam, please don't be angry," the maid timidly comforted her.
"How could I not be angry? This Zhang family member, once she gained power, actually dared to join forces with the Marquis to confine me to my quarters." Cui Ruixin's face turned pale and then purple, clearly she was furious.
If the Marquis hadn't threatened her with Ziqing's marriage, she wouldn't have sat idly by and waited to die.
Although he lost his power as steward, at least Ziqing and Ji Zhaoning, the daughter of the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, were engaged.
Yu Ziheng married the daughter of a fourth-rank official, while her son Ziqing married the daughter of a third-rank official, still putting him ahead of Shen Jinzhu.
Thinking this way, Cui Ruixin finally felt a little more at ease.
She needs to carefully choose one for her youngest son as well.
Ziyuan is sixteen now. Let's settle the marriage first, and then get married in a couple of years.
The key is to get the promised dowry of 20,000 taels of silver from Zhang Yunyi as soon as possible.
In this way, her management rights weren't handed over in vain.
"Does Zhang think she can control me now that she's in charge of the household?" Cui Ruixin sneered, regaining her fighting spirit.
As long as she is still her mother-in-law, she must pay her respects to her morning and evening.
……
Yu Ziheng and Xie Yuntan's wedding was a grand and spectacular affair.
On their wedding night, both of them blushed with embarrassment.
Yu Ziheng, who was originally even more shy, suddenly became unintentionally skilled after their wedding night, and no longer blushed when teasing his wife at night.
The couple were very much in love.
Shen Jinzhu did not hold the power of managing the household. After the wedding, she began to teach Xie Yuntan how to manage the household affairs.
Xie Yuntan's dowry maids were all shocked.
This is the first time I've seen a mother-in-law so willing to relinquish power so quickly.
Miss Yu made the right choice marrying into the Yu family.
Time flies.
Spring has come again.
Yu Ziqing is getting married.
The Marquis's residence sent an invitation to Yu Kangjing's family, and Yu Kangjing naturally brought his family to the banquet.
After all, this was his own nephew's wedding; how could he not attend?
Yu Zilie also attended the banquet on behalf of the second branch of the family.
He was a year older than Yu Ziheng, so he should have been married by now.
But with his parents divorced and his father becoming a monk, it was really difficult for him to find a suitable family in the capital.
Zhao Yining shed many tears in secret because of his marriage.
Therefore, he is still not engaged.
"Greetings, Uncle and Aunt. Congratulations, Cousin Ziqing." He smiled and presented his gift.
When Yu Kangping saw him, he thought of his second younger brother who had become a monk.
My few remaining feelings of conscience suddenly ached.
My second brother's child is almost nineteen, and he's still not married.
He patted Yu Zilie on the shoulder and said, "Zilie, you need to hurry up and get married. If your mother can't find you a good match, come back to me and your third uncle. We can't let you stay unmarried for the rest of your life."
Upon hearing this, Cui Ruixin's face immediately darkened.
Instead of helping him find a match, a lonely star whose parents are divorced should spend more time caring about Ziyuan's marriage.
"Thank you, Uncle. I know you've been good to me." Yu Zilie naturally noticed Cui Ruixin's expression, but he pretended not to see it, simply smiled and replied before finding a seat.
When Yu Kangjing saw him, he called him to his side and introduced his nephew to everyone, saying a few good words for him and inquiring about which family was willing to arrange a marriage.
Yu Zilie felt a pang of sadness; his third uncle was truly taking his affairs to heart now.
After introducing him to his colleagues, Yu Kangjing had his eldest son lead him to another table.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Yu Ziheng: "If any of your colleagues have younger sisters of similar age, you can introduce them to Zilie."
"I understand, Father." Yu Ziheng nodded, took Yu Zilie away, and then started asking around among the people at the same table.
The day Yu Ziqing was to get married was turned into a matchmaking day by the inquiries they made.
This wedding banquet actually helped them find out a few suitable candidates.
"When we get back, your mother and my mother will discuss it together. Don't worry," Yu Ziheng comforted her.
Yu Zilie was both amused and exasperated: "I'm not worried. I feel like you guys are much more worried than I am."
On the other side is the women's quarters.
After paying respects to Heaven and Earth and her parents, Cui Ruixin sat down at a table with Shen Jinzhu and the others.
A short while later, the maidservant arrived carrying her eldest grandson, Yu Keyan.
"The young master is crying and wants to see his grandmother."
Cui Ruixin hugged her eldest grandson and coaxed him with a smile, "Don't cry, don't cry, Grandma is here."
The child stopped crying shortly afterward.
Cui Ruixin looked at Shen Jinzhu: "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Third Sister-in-law. This child just likes to stick to his grandmother."
"Really? Is that so?" Shen Jinzhu knew that Cui Ruixin's sudden remark was definitely not well-intentioned, so she didn't respond and brushed it off with a meaningless remark.
Cui Ruixin glanced at Xie Yuntan beside her and said, "Ziheng and his wife have been married for more than half a year now, so why is there still no sign of pregnancy? When Yunyi married into our family, she got pregnant with Yan'er not long after."
These words struck a chord with Xie Yuntan.
She's been married for over half a year, and her family has asked her why she hasn't gotten pregnant yet, which makes her anxious.
Now that someone has suddenly pointed this out to my face, I can't help but feel a little annoyed.
