Chapter 129: Joys and Sorrows (1)
Since that day, there was a night of thunder, drizzle and snowflakes poured for several days, and there were many plants and trees in the Wind Garden, and the girls complained that they had accidentally soiled their shoes. Li Shuci was stopped by Yao and the girls and lay on the couch for another day, this day she was finally able to stay and activities, she really felt that she was fine, and even felt that her body was better than before, but she didn't believe anyone.
In the blink of an eye, Li Shuran will get married tomorrow, so why should she go and see it today. Holding the box of makeup, and walking to the door, the drizzle actually stopped, Mu Yun smiled: "I see this rain, it's for our girl, the girl is sick, God can't be happy!" β
"God can make a joke about this nonsense." Qingge glanced at her and said with a smile: "The sky is clear." Tomorrow, the two girls will get married, and today you can ask for a dowry, just now I saw that the mothers-in-law put a dowry in the corridor. Look, girl, it's there! β
The three of them happened to pass through the backyard, and the big red dowry carried under the corridor was neatly arranged, and the dowry box was successively placed with home furnishings, four treasures of the study, gold, silver and jade, hairpin treasure jewelry, and cloth and satin...... The last few boxes were actually white flowers...... There are sixty-four lifts! Several mothers-in-law are checking the dowry list one by one. The Lan family took Li Qiao and Li Shuyan to watch the excitement on the side, almost all of them were stunned, and they kept exclaiming, "I heard that the most luxurious dowry ever made by this noble daughter of a wealthy family in Shangjing is one hundred and twenty-eight lifts." My God, there is still a God of Wealth in our house! β
The mother-in-law in the second room on the side heard this, and she didn't know if she was showing off or in the Han Lan family, "Auntie is right, although our second lady is a merchant, her net worth is hugely rich, compared to those useless official bodies, I don't know how much better life is, they all say that this gold and silver money is a vulgar thing, but who doesn't spend money to live?" β
Lan Shi looked at the dowry full of Dengden in a daze, and his mood that had just been happy because An Qirong couldn't marry suddenly plummeted, his father was a small county official, she was a concubine, and when she married Li Weicheng, she just held her own makeup and married as soon as she lifted the small sedan chair. When her Yan'er gets married in the future, how much dowry can she have for a concubine?
Li Shuci paused here for a moment and then continued to walk forward, passing through this small garden is Li Shuran's courtyard.
"You have a supple temperament, but you also have to know in your heart, and those women who are filial are just to take a look. Although I begged the old lady to mediate and choose Tao Zhiyuan, it looks good now. But this man, when he was young, he was all motivated, and he was good, but as he got older, his problems also increased. Especially on women, this young daughter is stubble after stubble, and she can't prevent it! Wu looked at Li Shuran, who lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, and said, "But this is all easy to do, just one, you need to remember it firmly." A woman who is virtuous is to be virtuous, but she must not be virtuous in one thing. Do you know what it is? It's a concubine! Tao Zhiyuan is a talented person, sooner or later he will be promoted and knighted, if he takes a concubine in the future, you can follow him, just one, this child has to come out of your belly, do you understand? β
Li Shuran tilted her head slightly, obviously not listening: "Mother, Tao Gongzi is not such a person." β
"You girl, how many times have you two met? Can you see a meridian? Let me tell you, this man was a top good man before he got married, and he was so good that he could see him after he got married. Wu hated iron and said: "I am your mother, I can still deceive you, and the decoction in the concubine's room must not be broken." β
"Mother, what you said, my father is a concubine, didn't the two aunts also give birth to a fourth sister and a sixth sister? If there were, could I really kill it? That's human life, too! Li Shuran is usually silent but has her own ideas, she doesn't want to think about a calculation before she enters the door, if Tao Zhiyuan really has that day, it will not be too late to talk about it then, now she always feels very uncomfortable talking about this.
"Your father? I can't care whether your father is a concubine or a concubine, but Xu is born with Pang Zi is two girls, if it is two male heirs, you and I can tolerate it? Wu was angry, "Your father is used to being submissive, and he can't make any moths by borrowing a few guts!" has been ridden on the head of the couple in the big house for most of their lives, and they don't dare to let go of their farts, so they can turn the sky upside down in our house? Besides, can your father be far compared to Tao Zhi? Tao Zhiyuan is your grandfather's protΓ©gΓ©, and he is a good writer, and he may have a bright future in the future. Otherwise, your mother and I wouldn't have been able to find a way to figure out such a marriage for you. Let me tell you, if a concubine gives birth to a girl, it will only be a dowry in the future, but if it is a man, it will be different! If you can't raise it for a lifetime, you will have to bite off a piece of meat when you grow up and become a family! β
Seeing that Li Shuran didn't speak, Wu lowered his voice and said, "Didn't you see what happened to your grandmother?" If it weren't for the wolf-hearted couple and those little cubs, how could your grandmother do this? β
Li Shuran finally raised her eyelids, "I know Mother, if Tao Gongzi is really that kind of person, I will naturally not do foolish things......"
Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief, she patted Li Shuran's hand, "Mother is not letting you be a villain, but if you are on guard, you will not be blind in both eyes at that time, if you meet that little hoof with a heart, you can't prevent it!" Your brother is a slippery man, he studied business with your grandfather, and he can't suffer anywhere, and the only thing my mother is worried about is you! It's not easy to marry someone and serve your in-laws to set rules, but if you want to come to the Tao family, you won't be harsh on you, my mother is afraid that you will be blind and virtuous, and you will miss your life! β
Li Shuran's nose was sour by what she said, and said, "Mother, don't worry, although I don't want to say more on weekdays, I also know it in my heart." β
"If you say that, my mother will be half relieved." Wu took Li Shuran in his arms and said: "Fortunately, Tao Zhiyuan is the eldest son, you can be in charge of the family if you marry, and then hurry up to have a son, and it will be stable in three years and two years." β
Li Shuci stood at the gate of the courtyard in a daze, raised the foot he was about to step out and gently retracted it. Mu Yun and Qingge looked at Li Shuci suspiciously, seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, she didn't say a word, she stood with a good look, and looked at each other in horror, "Girl? Are you okay? β
Li Shuci replied: "The second aunt and the second sister will say something from their hearts, and we will go in later." β
"Huh?" Mu Yun stretched out his hand and poked it into Li Shuci's head: "Isn't the girl sick again?" β
Li Shuci slapped her hand away and smiled angrily: "Your girl and I are fine, what is the disease!" β
Qingge and Mu Yun glanced at each other and said, "What did the girl just say?" The second lady and the second girl are talking? β
"Didn't you hear? The second aunt told the second sister not to be so virtuous after getting married. β
The two girls jumped and looked at Li Shuci blankly, Li Shuci finally saw that the two of them really didn't hear, "I heard it clearly, why didn't you hear it?" β
Mu Yun said: "We haven't entered the yard yet, how can we get a cup of tea from here to the second girl's house, the girl is a thousand miles away, we haven't heard anything!" β
Li Shuci was stunned, yes! So far away! But she heard the sound of conversation inside intermittently, and she was also confused: "What's going on......" Did she really hallucinate?
She raised her feet and walked into the courtyard, and when a girl saw her, she hurriedly saluted and went inside to report. Li Shuran greeted her in person, "Fifth sister, why are you here?" How are you? Are you all right? Li Shuran looked her up and down, "It's finally good, the thunder that roared a few days ago, I was also frightened, you have been afraid of thunder and rain since you were a child, how can it get worse when you grow up, this time you are scared ...... sick"
As soon as Li Shuran saw Li Shuci and said so many words, Li Shuci was moved, and Wu also came out of the room at this time. "I haven't seen this girl talk so much! I'm going to be jealous as a mother! β
"Second aunt!" Li Shuci saluted with a smile. Wu nodded, "Your second sister will get married tomorrow, you are here to talk to her, and I will go to the front to see how the dowry is." β
Li Shuci followed Li Shuran into the house, took a makeup box from Qingge's hand, and said, "This is my makeup for my sister." β
Li Shuran took it generously, opened it and saw that it was a complete set of gold-inlaid jade beads and double dragon dotted emerald heads, which were very delicate and precious, and she smiled: "I won't be polite to you if you add makeup!" In the future, when I often look at my sisters' belongings, I can also think of when we were girls at home! β
"Well, what the second sister said is that the girl is a coquettish guest at home, and once she gets married, there are many things that are difficult to do as a wife and wife." Li Shuci unconsciously said the truth, and even forgot that she was still a girl in the eyes of everyone. "The second sister is married, if there are difficulties in everything, you must not be wronged by yourself, you can't be soft-hearted, and it is true to think more about yourself."
Li Shuran was stunned, looked at her for a long time, and said with a smile: "Fifth sister, listening to your words, it seems that you have been married for ten or eight years." β
Li Shuci suddenly stopped, and said embarrassedly: "Oh, second sister, don't blame, I also heard what others said." Tao Gongzi is a kind person, and he will definitely be good to his sister, my words are just in vain! β
Li Shuran couldn't help but smile when she saw her embarrassed appearance, and took her hand: "I naturally know that the fifth sister is all for my good, so I will borrow your auspicious words!" My sister won't see you either, and we will marry each other in the future, although there are few opportunities to meet, but we are the ones who can borrow our strength. Don't be rusty in the future, as for others, ......" Li Shuran paused, "Those things are over, and the people are gone, let's not talk about whether it's good or not, our sisters will be good in the future!" β
Li Shuci's eyes were a little red, before her accident in her previous life, Li Shuran and Tao Zhiyuan were far away from each other, but they still corresponded with her from time to time. Before she died, Li Shuran and Tao Zhiyuan had been living a very happy life, and she nodded: "Well, I know." β
At this moment, a girl broke into the house without announcing it, and before Li Shuci and the two could react, Mu Yun almost pulled out the soft sword hidden in his waist, and the girl said, "Girl...... Two girls, five girls! Old lady ...... She...... She's awake! β
