Chapter 13: Mother's Family
The Wei family came quickly, and when they got the news, they hurried over. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Second young grandmother, Second Mrs. Wei has brought the two girls over and has tea in the small flower hall." The little girl came in to tell Wei Ruyi.
Wei Ruyi looked a little impatient, frowned, and said, "Please sit with them for a while, and I'll go over." ”
Chunxiang took the stone blue twined plum cloak and put it on with her: "It's windy outside, so it's better for young grandmother to be careful." ”
Wei Ruyi sighed: "You follow me over and take a look." But I don't know what her aunt will say.
In the small flower hall, Deng took a bite of the teacup, but his eyes were looking around, sometimes looking at the girls waiting in the hall, and sometimes looking at the situation in the courtyard.
When Wei Ruyi was sick before, she also came twice, but the east wing of Jinguiyuan was a depression, not only did she have fewer maids and sisters-in-law to serve, but she was also more and more lazy in front of her, and she was obviously out of power, Wei Ruyi was also sick and dying, and she was not blessed, so she naturally refused to come again.
But who would have expected that the funeral report was sent two days ago, but today he sent someone over to say that he had come back to life! If it weren't for the person who swore that Wei Ruyi was alive, she would definitely think that she was messing around. Sitting in this flower hall at this time, he is still skeptical. Can a dead person come back to life?
The Deng family was full of thoughts, but the second girl of the Deng family, Ruyu, and the third girl, Ruzhu, couldn't sit still, Ruyu was quite similar to the Deng family, her body was slightly thin, her complexion was fair, and she was young and outstanding, but her apricot eyes were full of the same shrewdness as Deng's.
She walked a few steps in the small flower hall, looked at the calligraphy and painting decorations around her, and pouted: "Let's just say that the eldest aunt gave the eldest sister a dowry of no less than 10,000 taels that day, otherwise she would have so many precious things when she married a concubine." As soon as he opened his mouth, he did not have the evasiveness and shyness of the lady in the boudoir, and he was straight and undisguised.
Ruzhu has a round and jade appearance, a petite figure, and a simple face, but she has no interest in calligraphy and painting to marry, just holding the pastries sent by the girl, and can't stop eating in her mouth: "How does the second sister know about the eldest sister's marriage?" ”
Ruyu glared at her, but turned to Deng's side: "Mother, she has so many dowries when she marries a concubine, it's really unbelievable." ”
Deng Shi said angrily: "Look, what's the matter, it's hard for you to stop it." Your father is a weak and temperamentless person, when I gave the dowry, I said that these dowries are also considered to be the property in the Wei Mansion, and there should be a share in the second room, and the rest can be given to her as a dowry, but your father is afraid of your eldest uncle, and he doesn't dare to say a word, so he can only watch these return to the Yin Mansion. ”
She said and took a sip: "It's cheaper for outsiders, it's really a loss of money!" ”
As she was talking, the little girl raised the curtain: "The second young grandmother is here." ”
Deng's face changed instantly, put down the teacup, and got up with a surprised and happy smile on his face and stepped forward: "Grandma is here." Wei Ruyu and Wei Ruzhu also followed behind her.
Wei Ruyi was dressed in a homely bamboo green Doluo pair of shirts, and there were only three or two treasure elephant hairpins on his bun, but they were also eight treasures and beads, looking at Ming Huang dazzling, and seeing that Deng owed a debt: "Second aunt." ”
Deng Shi hurriedly stepped forward to help him, with a sad expression: "My aunt and grandmother, you are very good, you got the funeral report before, but you and your two sisters cried badly." As she spoke, she gestured and wiped away her tears: "I got the news today, I really don't know what to do, and I came over in a hurry, which is really a blessing." ”
Wei Ruyi smiled, didn't answer her words, just looked at the two sisters who were like jade and pearls who saluted her: "The two sisters are also here." ”
Ruyu was smarter, and stepped forward to salute and said: "It's good that the big sister is well, I came to cry a few days ago, and I am happy this time." ”
Ruzhu quietly wiped the crumbs from her mouth with her sleeve, and stood behind her sister without showing her face.
Wei Ruyi had long been accustomed to the appearance of his aunt and two cousins, and walked to the main seat and sat down: "Second aunt and sisters, sit down and talk, my body is not very serious, I can't stand for a long time, please forgive me." ”
Deng Shi hurriedly said: "Grandma is not good at it, you have to recuperate well." She looked embarrassed, "I'm in a hurry, otherwise I'll bring some nourishing things such as ginseng bird's nest to make up for my aunt and grandmother." But fortunately, the Yin family is not short of these, so we don't have to worry about it. ”
Wei Ruyi naturally knew what she meant, and she might not be able to see her hypocrisy, but her expression was faint: "Second aunt, don't bother, I've already asked people to take the prescription to catch the medicine." ”
She ignored Deng and continued, "Is my father okay? Second uncle, is it okay? ”
Deng Shi snorted: "It's all fine, it's just that your second uncle's back pain has been committed again, and he can't get off the bed for these two days, so he can only keep it." Saying that, he sighed for a long time, "It is also for the sake of Zhuangzi and the shop that I am tired, so I will fall into this disease......"
Wei Ruyi couldn't help but frown, her second uncle didn't know others, she still didn't know, she was lazy, she didn't want to study that day, and she couldn't get famous, so she followed her father to learn to take care of business, but she was also lazy for three days, and she was idle all day long, where was she willing to make any effort.
She asked, "Did Father say anything?" ”
Deng had no choice but to stop, and said dryly: "I said that when my aunt and grandmother are better, I will send someone to pick you up and go back to the house for two days." ”
After all, his father still thought about himself and thought about himself, Wei Ruyi's heart warmed, and he nodded in response.
"Big sister, the beads on your head look very good-looking, I don't know which silver building hit it? I'll call someone to play a few tomorrow. Ruyu stared at the treasure hairpin on Wei Ruyi's head, and said with envy, looking very wanted.
Wei Ruyi's heart was cold, and she looked at Ruyu coldly, only to see that she did not avoid her gaze, still staring at Zhuhua, waiting for Wei Ruyi to speak.
In fact, Ruyu is like this, when she arrives at Wei Ruyi's place, she asks what she likes, she knows that her big sister is the most gentle and kind, and she will give it to her if she likes and wants, so she waits for Wei Ruyi to give this hairpin to herself as before.
Wei Ruyi looked at her coldly, these relatives in front of her didn't care about family affection when she was critically ill, and they didn't care about her life and death at all, even now they still want to fake her idea, they really think that they are still the weak and kind Wei Ruyi before?!
"Sister has a good eye, this is the craftsmanship of Master Zhang of Jibao Zhai, one costs twenty taels of silver, I like it very much, so I wear it all the time." She smiled and said slowly, but she didn't mean to take it off.
Wei Ruyu waited for a while and didn't see that she was going to pick the hairpin and say that she would give it to herself, she was stunned and squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "Big sister is getting more and more stingy, it's just a few hairpins, what is it worth, tomorrow I will ask someone to go there to play a set of noodles!" ”
Wei Ruyi looked at her somewhat distorted face, but laughed: "That sister has to send someone earlier, Master Zhang's craftsmanship is outstanding, many ladies and girls in the house have to ask him to make jewelry, I'm afraid it will take a little and a half months to wait for him to do it." ”
Wei Ruyu wanted to say something more, but was stunned by Deng's eyes, and reprimanded in a low voice: "What kind of face, make money indiscriminately, An Sheng and I shut up!" She saw that Wei Ruyi was a little different, not as easy to talk as before, could it be that something was wrong?
Wei Ruyu reluctantly shut up, they sat for a while, and saw that Wei Ruyi didn't have the heart to talk to them, so they got up and said goodbye.
After parting, Deng Shi also took Wei Ruyi's hand diligently: "Auntie and grandmother are well, you must send someone back to deliver a message, I will send someone to pick up my aunt and grandmother back to the house, your father and second uncle are remembered." ”
Wei Ruyi nodded with a smile, sent her to the gate of the courtyard, and sent the girl to send them out.
As soon as he got into the carriage, Deng's originally smiling face changed instantly and became gloomy.
Wei Ruyu was still puffing up her anger at this time, but she was pulling Deng's sleeve: "Mother, the eldest sister is really still alive, how good is this, I'm afraid that the family affair ......"
Deng Shi clenched his hands tightly and said slowly: "Don't worry, there is always a way!" ”
