Chapter 212
When Li Yu heard it, he let out a listless sigh.
"You have to be old enough to go out. If you train them well for a few years, you will have a bright future."
Brother Li looked at his daughter and smiled dotingly.
"All right."
"Your Highness has a batch of outdated war horses and armor. I bought them with money and sent them back to you for training."
"Okay, I've made a note, is it expensive?"
"It's not expensive, but His Royal Highness needs money to repair the river embankment, and he also takes care of us. Buying it with money will save a lot of unnecessary rumors."
"I know that in the spring we have to build a house and sow seeds. I took my siblings to watch the refugees rebuild their homes."
"Keep an eye on it. There is no shortage of things to do. There will be no shortage of money in the second half of this year. The silver mine has been dug out, and I can see the money back."
"Refugees must be done well, and they must not make mistakes. This is the arrangement of His Highness the Night King. We have to take the money and use it for people's livelihood. We can't put it in our pockets. It's not right to find out. Our men have worked hard in the past few years." All in vain."
Boss Li repeatedly reminded you that you must be thorough in your work, and you must not rush to put it in your pocket.
"Yes, don't worry, I will watch it myself, and it can't be wrong."
Li Yu understands that this is to win face for the Li family, for his father and brothers, and he must not be selfish.
"When you marry your sister-in-law in spring, you help your mother arrange the wedding banquet. This is a big deal for our family. When your sister-in-law comes in, your mother will have more arms, so you can relax."
Ever since he didn't go out much at home, Li Yu helped his mother manage the family affairs, otherwise it would be too hard for her to do it all by herself.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to my sister-in-law coming in."
"The Xie family has brought a lot of good things to our family at His Highness's side. Your sister-in-law is not familiar with family affairs when she first came. You helped her a lot. If you marry her, you will be our family. You can't wrong your sister-in-law."
"Don't worry, with me here, my sister-in-law can't be bullied."
Li Yu patted his chest to assure.
The Li family's big event in the spring is to marry Xie Jin, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, and Li Rui is going to get married.
One is considered an adult only when one becomes a relative, and one’s career has just begun.
"Father, how do you explain my sixth brother's marriage?"
"Now I guess she is going to marry the niece of Princess Ye's natal family, who is also the eldest daughter. She has grown up in front of the princess since she was six years old. I have met her once. She is a very calm and upright girl. "
"In the past, Princess Ye wanted to ration her son so that he could take care of her nearby, but the child didn't want to let it go. Princess Ye's dowry and palace affairs are all handled by her. It has been several years, and her ability is not a problem."
"Character."
Li Yu is worried about this, because he is afraid that he will not get along with his brother.
"Not to mention anything else, a widowed mother and a weak girl can gain a firm foothold with Princess Ye, and she has a refreshing and strong character. With so many nuns, court ladies and eunuchs in front of the princess, it is not easy to obey."
"Okay, I have no choice but to do this, I will hold a flower banquet and invite you to come to my house to play?"
Li Yu was thinking about letting each other meet and see if they could see each other. This is only possible after asking the elders for permission.
"Let your mother ask the princess later, the princess treats this niece as her own daughter and teaches her to love her."
"Fine."
"Don't worry, Princess Ye's temper is one of the best in character. The niece she taught can't be wrong. Orphan girls are not strong and have been swallowed by others. How can they get to where they are today."
Concubine Ye’s father and brother are dead, leaving only a weak daughter and young son, and she also has a weak nephew who has not yet grown up.
Now she is looking for a good marriage for her niece. The princess values the integrity of Li's family. All the men are responsible and responsible, with excellent character.
Marriage must have a decent family style and a good character. This is the first condition, and the rest can be tolerated.
Good character, good family style, even if you don't love, life will not be bad.
The direct lineage of the Sun family suffered heavy losses, but the Sun family is a big family with many children, and they have always been under the banner of the Night King, so they are very valuable.
However, all the most outstanding generals died in battle, and the descendants of the Sun family did not have a general to lead the army, so they could only serve as deputy positions in the army and occupy a place.
Ye Wang wants to marry the Li family, and he also treats Boss Li as his own direct lineage.
This relationship cannot be rejected.
"Let's do this first, and I'll ask my mother later, if I can meet with you, so that I can get a closer look, how about asking in private?"
"I can't find out anything, and the girl doesn't show her face, so she won't make a big mistake."
Boss Li shook his head, thinking that this was inappropriate, and suspected of doubting Princess Ye's character.
"Okay, I see."
Li Yu was not talking.
Li Rui has come back for the past few days and now his family is urging the yard to rest. If they want to get married, they will rebuild the yard. Someone from the Xie family has also come to see it, and they are satisfied in every way.
Li Rui went to Xie's house to visit his fiancée when he was free, and gave him a small gift he had saved, but he never had time to go there.
The Li family has already started preparing for the wedding banquet. There are a lot of guests this time. Li Yu has to go to the battle with his mother to organize the banquet, otherwise the mother will be too hard.
It happened to take all the girls in the family to learn, and by the way, I also invited a few girls from the Gu family to come and learn by doing.
Fortunately, the two families of Gu and Li are close, and the situation of the Gu family is a bit special. Otherwise, outsiders would definitely gossip and say that Li Yu can't wait to become the clan's wife.
In fact, Grandpa Gu asked Li Yu to help and teach the daughter of the Gu family. She can’t know everything. Uncles and grandmothers are getting old and can’t keep up with energy.
The other aunts and wives also have to work hard, and they don’t care about careful teaching. When they got the opportunity, they sent them to Li Yu to teach.
The Gu family is still the director of the third aunt Zhang Luo's housekeeper. Because she is a widow, she doesn't hold a banquet easily.
The Gu family lacks a clan wife who can set the world in the inner house, so they can't get around it. Gu Lin's family is also a widow, so it's not easy to go out.
Gu Lei sent the younger sisters over and said, "This is your sister-in-law who is willing to teach you. You have to study hard, ask questions when you don't understand, and have a bright eye. The Li family will give you a chance. Let's be sensible and act according to the winks of your aunt and your sister-in-law. Do not say silly things."
"Brother, we remember. My mother explained everything carefully when I came here. You can listen to my sister-in-law in everything, so you can go at ease."
The younger sisters of the Gu family are very sensible.
"Then I'll go to the front yard to help, don't be afraid of hard work, do more and learn more, and only when you make a mistake will you know where you went wrong. You have to learn from human relationships, and you can use them in the future."
"Okay, we all listen to our sister-in-law and aunt, and we won't mess around."
"I'm leaving."
Gu Lei explained to his sister before leaving in a hurry.
Ms. Wang is no outsider, directing the girls to work and asking where there are omissions. The girls have really learned a lot in front of them, which cannot be learned at home.
"Don't be idle, go to the warehouse to see how many dishes are not complete sets. How to arrange them is very important. Ask yourself."
Li Yu got his mother's order, and arranged for his younger sisters to work, where the guests sat, and whether they were relatives in any official position.
This can also show the background and level of the family's clan wife. If you make a mistake, your family will be underestimated.
