Chapter 118: Grandmother's Advice
The Spring Festival of the Great Zhou Dynasty was divided into three sessions, each of which lasted for three days. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the ninth day of the first month of February, people from all provinces walked into the examination room one after another and began the triennial examination.
These excitement and tension have little to do with Doudou, she continued to live in the first half of Jingnan Houfu and the second half of Weiyuan Houfu.
In a blink of an eye, on the first day of the fourth month, Doudou and his maids moved back to the Jingnan Hou Mansion from the Weiyuan Hou Mansion.
Returning to Lanyue Pavilion to change the thick skirt shirt into a slightly thin spring shirt, Doudou took the two of them to the old lady's Chunhui Hall.
Doudou and Huo Xiao's wedding date is said to be the end of the year, but in fact, the main day is the eighth day of October, and it is only half a year away.
Since Gu Chaoying promised to help the old lady prepare Doudou's dowry, all the affairs were handed over to her and Wu's mother, and the old lady was much more leisurely.
Elderly people are tired and unidle, and the old lady is a little lonely when she is idle.
The two grandsons are cute and lively, but they are too young to chat with their grandmother, and they only know how to fight together, which makes the old lady love and have a headache.
The granddaughters of the big house and the third room are also well-behaved, but they are not intimate enough to please too deliberately.
Every time Doudou leaves the Jingnan Hou Mansion in the middle of the month, the old lady begins to look forward to the arrival of the end of the month.
Today is no exception, early in the morning, the old lady stood at the door of the warm pavilion with the hand of a little maid and looked forward to it.
It wasn't until Doudou's smiling little face appeared at the gate of the courtyard that the expression on the old lady's face relaxed.
Mother Wu quipped on the side: "Old lady, what can you do when the second girl comes out of the pavilion." ”
The old lady glanced at her angrily: "The older you get, the more disagreeable you become, you know that I am reluctant to Sister Yuan, and you want to stab me in the heart!"
As soon as the words fell, Doudou had already rushed to the old lady in three or two steps, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, I'm back!"
The old lady took her arm and looked at her carefully for a long time, and couldn't help but read a few more words: "People who are still too thin and are about to speak are about to speak, how can they only grow taller but not fat?"
Mother Wu laughed, the second girl is indeed a little thinner, but in her eyes, her arms, legs and waist are too thin, and those places that should be long really haven't fallen at all.
Besides, the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl's family, the long days are still ahead, and the most important thing is to grow up first.
Doudou pouted and said, "Grandmother, I am wearing thin clothes today, and you only feel thin when you see it." ”
The old lady looked at it in a flash, but no, the girl in front of her was dressed in a light green spring shirt, looking delicate and light, just like the most touching touch of new green on the branches in the spring season, and the depressed mood of people was cheerful.
She pinched Doudou's little face: "It's stinky and beautiful when you hit a child, it's still a little cold this day, so I took off my thick clothes in a hurry." ”
However, she also knew that her second granddaughter was not afraid of the cold, so she just read a few sentences casually.
Doudou took the old lady's arm, and the grandfather and grandson walked into the warm pavilion together.
"Sister Yuan, what has your mother been busy with lately, and I haven't seen her come to talk to me for a long time. Looking at the appearance of her second granddaughter wearing a green skirt, the old lady couldn't help but think of Gu Xi again.
Doudou said with a smile: "I'm busy preparing a dowry for me, and I'm also busy picking a daughter-in-law for my eldest brother, she also said yesterday that my grandmother is the most accurate in seeing people, and when I want to bring a good person, please help check it." ”
The old lady was happy and said with a smile: "Speaking of looking at people, who is better than your great-grandmother, that old lady is the fast with poisonous eyes, and I was willing to bow down in the early years." ”
Doudou knew that what her grandmother was talking about was that the old Yang snatched Gu Xi back early to do the business of her granddaughter-in-law.
She is a great-granddaughter, so naturally it is not good to tease her great-grandmother with her grandmother, so she had to laugh twice.
The old lady patted her little hand and said: "Your eldest brother is a good boy, and he will also stand up in the future, so he should carefully choose a good daughter-in-law, but unfortunately your sister is already married, and there is no suitable granddaughter here for grandmother." ”
This is true, with Pei Jincheng's excellence, any grandmother will be willing to marry her granddaughter to him.
It's just that the granddaughters of the big room and the third room, the old lady really can't open this mouth.
At the beginning, she just thought that the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was full of people and affairs, and the ladies and grandmothers in the mansion were not fuel-efficient lamps.
Pei Jincheng is the prince of the Marquis of Wuning, the responsibility is too heavy, and Yuan Xiang has a cowardly temperament, I am afraid that she will not be able to marry the wife of the prince, and I am even more afraid that she will be wronged in the big family.
It's better to find someone with a simple family background, and she can rest assured.
I didn't expect her to hesitate so much, Yuan Xiang made the fourth princess by mistake, compared to the royal family, where can the idea of the noble family be called a thing compared to the royal family!
Fortunately, the Fourth Highness is an unsuccessful person, otherwise she would not have died of sorrow.
Thinking of her eldest granddaughter, the old lady said: "Now grandmother has nothing to worry about, your two younger brothers are still young, and it will be more than ten years to worry about it, so I hope that your two sisters will have a smooth life." ”
Doudou smiled and said, "Grandmother, are you looking forward to my sister adding a great-grandson to you earlier?"
The old lady slapped her on the hand: "The eldest girl who has not come out of the cabinet still speaks like this." ”
Doudou said coquettishly: "I'm not going behind others' backs, just talking to my grandmother." ”
The old lady said, "Well, it's the one who is going to get married...... It is said that a girl can only stand up if she has a son early after marriage, but grandmother still doesn't want your sisters to have children too early. ”
The old lady has seen too many women who gave birth to children and lost their bodies.
The old Jingnanhou's wife is the best example, if she hadn't died in childbirth at the age of sixteen, how could she marry into the Jingnanhou Mansion as a house-filler?
On the contrary, it was herself, because she was delayed in keeping filial piety to her father, and later Lao Jing Nanhou delayed letting her have children, and she didn't give birth until she was in her twenties.
Therefore, it is better for girls to give birth later.
His two granddaughters, one has been weak since he was a child, and the other is a premature baby, although they are now well cared for, who can say for sure what is going on?
If it weren't for marrying too late, she would inevitably be criticized, and she would still want to keep her granddaughters for a few more years before marrying.
Thinking of this, the old lady said: "Grandmother is not joking with you, your sister is still sixteen years old before getting married, but your wedding date is set too early, and some things don't dare to be careless." ”
Doudou nodded, very moved in his heart.
Other people's grandmothers all told their granddaughters to marry into their husbands' families and give birth earlier, although it is quite reasonable and well-intentioned, but after all, they take their granddaughter's physical life lightly.
Grandmother's thoughts really hurt their sisters to the bone.
The old lady smiled with relief: "Grandmother sees that Huo Xiaowang and His Royal Highness are people who love their daughters-in-law, and they will never let your sisters suffer because of this." ”
