The boxes were all moved to the front yard warehouse by the mother-in-law sent by the Deng family, and dozens of boxes were heavy, and it took a full half an hour to move them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Deng sat in the main hall eating tea for a long time, and asked the housekeeper: "But have you finished moving?" ”
The mother-in-law bowed and said, "They have all been sent to the warehouse, and according to the instructions of the wife, they have not been included in the book." ”
Deng smiled happily and put down the tea bowl: "Since she brought it back to the house privately, where can it be registered, of course, it is 'quietly' kept." ”
Where can Wei Ruyu still sit still, thinking that she heard about Wei Ruyi's dowry list before, even she, the second girl of Weifu, has never seen and used it, this time it finally fell into the hands of the second room, naturally she can't wait for a moment: "Mother, why don't we go and see what she brought back, I'm afraid most of these boxes have been brought back." ”
Deng got up proudly: "Let's go, go and take a look." "They've taken the boxes they've put into the storeroom as their own.
The Deng mother and daughter have already thought about it, since it was sent to the second room, it is not so easy to go back, after all, these are taken by Wei Ruyi quietly from the Yin Mansion, and they will not dare to make trouble, if the Yin Mansion knows that she moved back to her parents' house to marry, it will be the real ** annoyance.
The warehouse has been opened a long time ago, and Wei Ruyi's boxes are piled up in one place, full of them, and they all occupy a small half of the room, all of which are large boxes of vermilion lacquer solid wood, which are tightly covered and have never been opened.
Deng Shi couldn't hide the joy in his eyes at this time, and couldn't help but step forward and touch the boxes, and instructed his mother-in-law: "Open it and take a look, and see how rich our aunt's dowry is." ”
At the beginning, Wei Ruyi's dowry was all handled by Mrs. Wei alone, not only did the long room have an example, but Mrs. Wei put a lot of self-care into it, so the Deng family has never seen it all, but I just heard the girls talk about it, and they all smacked their tongues and said that they were afraid that it would be difficult to find a comparable one in Xijing City, and they could catch up with the pomp and circumstance of the girls in the prince's mansion.
At the beginning, she hated her husband for being useless, and she didn't dare to make a fuss, at least she should have deducted some of it, how could she just let it go. Now that these are in her hands, how can she be unexpected!
The mother-in-law stepped forward in response and slowly opened the heavy box, and both Deng and Wei Ruyu couldn't help but take a step forward, pinching their handkerchiefs and probing their necks to look intently at what kind of valuable things they were.
"This ...... What is it!!! After a moment of dead silence, Wei Ruyu screamed and pointed to the open box, "What are these?" It's not her dowry!! ”
Deng and his mother-in-law also looked at the open box in amazement, which was not a valuable object, but a thick stack of white silk and coarse linen, and a big word was written on the top plain cloth, which was impressive!
"Open all those boxes for me!" Deng raised his hand and pointed to the neatly stacked boxes, "What's in there!" ”
The mother-in-law did not dare to disobey, so they opened all the boxes and let the Deng family check them.
There was not a single dowry in the box, it was a candlestick, a white candle, a plain white porcelain tribute plate, an incense burner, a white gauze curtain tent, a coarse linen filial piety dress, and a whole set of mourning clothes and futons, etc., which everyone could see that it was a funeral object, and it was full of more than a dozen boxes, and they were all opened in front of Deng Shi and others, and even those experienced mothers-in-law took a breath of cold air and took a step back, with a look of horror.
Wei Ruyu was already frightened, and hid behind Deng Shi tremblingly, and said with a crying voice: "What...... How could it be these, it's not that she brought her back with a dowry, how could it be that these dead people's things are in the box......"
Deng's face turned white and blue, and it took a long time before he swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "Close it all, close it quickly!" Lift these up and throw them out! "How unfortunate these things are, how can they be put here.
Wei Ruyi! Wei Ruyi, what kind of idea did she have, how could she send these over! What about her dowry? The mother-in-law who went to inquire about the news before said so firmly, the box was clearly filled with a dowry, how could it become this!
However, the housekeeper came back to her senses and stepped forward and whispered: "Second wife, if you throw these out this time, I'm afraid that it will soon spread to the yard over there, and the eldest aunt and grandmother will know that we have opened the box and seen it, but I'm afraid that it will ......."
Deng Shi gasped, his hand clenching the handkerchief trembled unconsciously in his sleeve, yes, she couldn't throw it out, she patted her chest and swore that she would keep it for Wei Ruyi, so she forced it to come over, and now she can't throw it out no matter how bad she is, but this obviously more than a dozen boxes of dowries have become funeral things, and all hope has become a bubble, so how can she swallow this breath!
"Seal these up for me, find a remote place and lock them up!" Deng gritted his teeth and ordered, she had to swallow this mouthful of pickled gas, "I'll ask her tomorrow what kind of heart she has in mind and bring these back to the house!" ”
