Chapter 104: Gifts
The second wife closed her eyes, "If it weren't for the two of them, what would I do with my dilapidated body, and I don't know if Qingyang would be cold or hungry if he was alone below." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info: I really don't want to go on any longer. As he spoke, the tears in the corners of his eyes sank into his sideburns.
The eldest lady said angrily on the side: "It's nonsense, the two children haven't said kiss yet, what should you do with them, this filial piety will last for three years, but it's more than twenty years old, don't you help plan to put your mind down?" ”
Second Mrs. Yu looked at the top of the tent with big eyes, "Sister-in-law, I really don't want to stay up." "The eyes are full of emptiness, and it is a kind of despair that has no love.
The fourth wife pressed the quilt on the second wife, "I only arrived in the capital yesterday, this is the youngest daughter, and it was only a hundred days when she left the imperial city. ”
Second Mrs. Yu withdrew her gaze at this time, and Zhen Wanyi hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Wanyi has seen the second aunt, and the second aunt will take care of her body on the second aunt's Day." ”
Second Mrs. Yu's smile was very talkative, just pulling the corners of her mouth, as if she had no strength, "What a pure and beautiful child, the fourth sister teaches well." If, if it weren't for Zhenniang marrying into your Zhen Mansion, Wanniang could marry our filial piety. Xiao'er is the most intimate. ”
Mrs. Yu was busy and said, "Wan Niang has already made a marriage." ”
The second wife was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Which son can get this good fortune?" ”
"It's the new Prince Rong."
The second wife sighed, "It's a pity." ”
The eldest lady's face changed slightly, "The second brother and sister have a good rest, the fourth sister will go home for the first time today, we will accompany my mother first, you can recuperate." ”
The second wife closed her eyes almost imperceptibly, and after a while she fell into a deep sleep, and it was obvious that her energy was very poor.
Several people were in a very heavy mood after leaving the yard, and the fourth wife's deep voice came, "I think when the second brother was here, what a cheerful person the second sister-in-law was, she smiled at everyone, and the yard was always full of life. ”
The second brother's departure took away all her spirit, and now she is just taking a breath for the sake of the child. Your eldest brother sent a letter to the children some time ago, and in any case, he must hurry to settle the relationship between the two children, or else he will have to delay it for another three years. ”
Zhen Wanyi also sighed secretly when she heard it, only from the words of a few elders, it is not difficult to hear that the relationship between the second wife and her husband is very deep, this kind of relationship between the poor and the yellow spring, life and death makes her moved. I used to watch this kind of drama of begging for death for my lover in film and television dramas, and I only thought it was ridiculous, but today I was shocked by a living example. It is not difficult to see the beauty of the second wife's beautiful face when she was young, and the clean and warm atmosphere in the courtyard shows that there is no second hostess in the second room.
If the most beautiful love is the hand of the son, and the son is old. Then the saddest love is the separation of yin and yang, and from then on, the broken intestine man stays alone in the boudoir, only reminiscing, and is wounded.
In the Yu Mansion until nightfall, if it weren't for the fear of the forbidden sky, the fourth wife was afraid that she would not want to return home.
Old Madam Yu looked at the sky, "Let's go back first, now that you have arrived in the capital, we can meet at any time." If you have to spare time, bring the children over and walk around. ”
The fourth lady nodded in agreement.
Zhen Wanyi went out with the fourth wife with a multi-treasure box, and when she got into the carriage, Zhen Wanyi hurriedly said: "Mother, this is my grandmother for me, do you see?"
The fourth wife opened the box and saw that the egg-sized ruby, the imperial green Guanyin pendant and bracelet, the blood jade bracelet, the bracelet, the bracelet, hairpin, the earring, the jade plate, the necklace, hairpin, and earrings of the ice jade...... A box full of people. The fourth lady picked up a few pieces and looked at them, her eyes began to reddened again, she hurriedly pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and took a deep breath, "Wan'er, you remember, your grandfather's family is good to you today." These things are old goods, and it is difficult to buy them nowadays, although I have been preparing a dowry for you in the past few years, but such good things have always been used as heirlooms to press the bottom of the box, even if you have money, it is difficult to buy. Today, your grandmother has given you more than half of the old items in the house. ”
Zhen Wanyi looked at the box handed over by the fourth wife, and suddenly felt that the box was like a thousand catties, although she was simple and not stupid, she must ask for something when she was courteous, the Yu family gave her such a heavy gift alone, it must not be just because she was the granddaughter of Yu Fu, could she bear such a heavy burden?
"Mother, it's not good for us to receive such a heavy gift."
The fourth wife was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhen Wanyi in disappointment, "Are you afraid that your grandfather's family will cause you trouble in the future?" ”
Zhen Wanyi was stunned, "Mother, why do you say that, I didn't mean that." Yufu is my mother's maiden home, my foreign home, although my daughter has not been deep with her maternal grandparents, but this does not prevent my daughter from respecting and thanking them. It's just that since the daughter feels that she is her own flesh and blood, why is it necessary to rely on heavy gifts to maintain her relationship like this? ”
The fourth wife's face eased at this time, she knew what her mother was asking for this gift, but now the Yu Mansion is in turmoil, if Wan'er has the ability to help, her parents can rest assured after receiving this gift, and the relationship between the two sides can get better and better, which is naturally what she is willing to see.
"Don't have too much pressure, when I married your father, your grandmother was afraid that I would not be a good person in Zhen's Mansion because of my low status, in addition to the seventy-two full dowry on the surface, she also gave me nearly 50,000 taels of private money and a few money-making shops in private, otherwise why do you think my mother can be a good person in Zhen's Mansion. Now what you want to marry into is the Rongwang Mansion, which is not comparable to a small Zhen Mansion, the people who can make friends with you on weekdays are the royal family and nobles, if you don't have a heavy dowry, how can you hold your head up and be a man? ”
Zhen Wanyi smashed her tongue, no wonder the ancients were patriarchal, the countryside people always like to call their daughters by losing money, it turns out that marrying a daughter costs so much money, if a poor family gives birth to many daughters, then what should those daughters do?
Thinking of this, Zhen Wanyi naturally asked, and the fourth wife touched her daughter's hair, "What else, either change relatives, or sell to be a maid." Aren't there many maids in the house who are sold to raise dowries for their brothers? ”
Zhen Wanyi tilted her head and leaned on her mother's shoulder, "Fortunately, my daughter is lucky and throws herself into her mother's belly." ”
The fourth lady rubbed Zhen Wanyi's hair and smiled silently.
Zhen Wanyi lowered her eyes and looked at the eight-treasure box in her arms, such a box of valuable things will not be able to sleep in peace in the future, if you let Cherry know, I am afraid that this box will not be able to leave sight for twelve hours a day. (To be continued.) )
