14. Nosy
The Ji family is strictly calculated to be related to the royal family, and today's ancestor is a genuine county lord, although the era of cooking oil has passed, but it is also a high gate.
Mrs. Yuan gently pinched her husband's shoulder, "Let's not talk about the issue of seniority, the cousin surnamed Ji can't use one eye, although he can't see it from the outside, but it's a pity after all." Besides, if he has a good temperament, it is fine, but after hearing that his eyes are bad, his temperament has become perverse and violent, and the people who serve him are all frightened, and they will be beaten and scolded at every turn, and even a concubine was tortured to death. The old man took pity on him, and he was arrogant and unwilling to take care of him, and now he is twenty-four years old and has not yet got married, and there are a lot of people in the room. How is this a good match? β
"The eldest sister-in-law is this kind of knowledge, her eyes are hot and wealthy, but she has put her daughter into it for the rest of her life. But my aunt has a high vision, and she is dedicated to spoiling her son, and the more he fails, the more she feels that she can't treat him badly in family affairs, and she must find a handsome and famous lady. If others don't think of her son, she should kowtow, and she also thinks that Shuyue's face is not white, her eyebrows and eyes are not smart. Mrs. Yuan shook her head as she spoke: "Furthermore, "Yue's niece has that kind of temperament, how can she deal with this kind of mother-in-law?" β
Yuan Guogong leaned on the side of the red lacquered small kang table, picked his wife's hosta and played with the incense powder in the cloisonnΓ© enamel box, no matter what he was thinking in his heart, at least on the surface he was listening very seriously.
"If you want me to say, this matter is out of control! Don't say that this matter is not appropriate, it is a good family affair that is one in a million, and the eldest sister-in-law is okay, big
My cousin's temperament is entangled, and if we really want to intervene in it, I'm afraid there will be a steady stream of troubles. β
Mrs. Yuan talked about the beginning, the development, and the conclusions. Yuan Guogong was not in a hurry, waiting for her to speak slowly. The focus is on the back.
"Despite this, Shuyue is a good girl."
Here comes the twist. Yuan Guogong said in his heart: I don't need to say more. Sooner or later, the Ji family will be unlucky. Having a lady who can always coincide with you is labor-saving.
"Actually, sister-in-law has another choice, but she doesn't look good on her face."
The grandfather propped up his body and poured a cup of tea for his wife, and asked her to continue.
Mrs. thanked her grandfather for the tea, "The head of the Luban Bureau in the capital, the Shen family of Jin merchants." "Huh?" "That's right, it's the Shen family that my eldest sister of the Wei family married," Mrs. Yuan smiled. Grandpa Guo thought about it for a while, and immediately knew which Mrs. Yuan was going to say, so he smiled and said, "If you want to talk about it seriously, it is naturally excellent." It's just that the sister-in-law's heart is higher than the sky, and she may not be willing to do so. β
Mrs. Yuan immediately said: "Grandpa, don't worry, only you think it's good, and I'll do the rest." "Grandpa is obviously very relieved about Madame's work. Then he said that there was a sigh of labor. Then came the sound of red date and lingzhi tea, and the room fell into a brief silence. Shuheng listened to the gossip for a while, and knew that Shuyue had a lifelong basis, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She was drowsy and about to fall asleep when she felt someone standing beside her. Yuan Guogong looked at his beloved daughter who was sleeping soundly, smiled on his lips, carefully took out the hair wrapped around her neck and put it next to her cheeks, and carefully instructed the red sleeves a few words before leaving. Shuheng felt warm in his heart. As long as Yuan Guogong is in the house, he will definitely go to bed with Mrs. Yuan at night, and when she is young, in winter, he will definitely put his hand on the silver silk enamel carbon box before hugging her. This kind of gentle and careful beautiful man, Shuheng is the most irresistible.
The bright moon rises high, like water shining all over the mandarin duck tiles on the roof. The drums are louder, and the clear tone pierces through the night mist. Shuheng pushed hard to the bottom of the quilt
I drilled down, and I couldn't sleep a little. Without him, just an inch away, the Duchess of the Kingdom is busy making her a little brother - Shu Heng's heart is also trembling, and his face is red like a monkey's ass, oops, your daughter, my boss is not small, hurry up and sleep in a separate room for me. It was easy for a mother-in-law to go in and out of the water outside, and the Duchess of the State talked and laughed for a while, before they both fell asleep, leaving Shuheng to think about it, and the brain was over-supplemented, and the insomnia lasted until dawn.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Yuan was radiant and peachy, and Shuheng was dizzy and listless. Mrs. Yuan also joked that every time she went out and was sleepy for three days, she ordered Honey to accompany her to Tianxin Garden to regain her spirits, and then make up for sleep after lunch. She ordered someone to feed the cats and dogs, first cut two new lotus plugs just obtained Xingyao Guanyin to send a white jade bottle, and then stood under the eaves and watched the swallows for a while. While sprinkling the grains on the edge of the flower pond, he smiled and counted: "One, two, three, four." Oops, there are four chicks in total, six of the two big and four small, no wonder, chirping all day long, and the life is more lively than ours. β
"No matter how lively they are, they will fly south. And our mansion will become more and more lively. "The maids on one side are all funny. Mrs. Yuan took the Fengyan Chengzi Pill sent by Uncle Zhongyi's mother, and was in a good mood, laughed with them a few words, and went into the house to embroider Shuheng's Doraemon belly pocket.
Sister-in-law is also a good person. Mrs. Yuan just threw an olive branch yesterday, and today she brought Shuyue over to thank her. Sister Shuyue wore a willow green bijia and a lake green horse face skirt, and in addition to the bean green gauze flowers on her sideburns, she also wore the pair of budding jasper hairpins that were still inserted on her mother's head yesterday. This hairpin is really a girl's style, and it can't be said that Cousin Yue is dressed very fresh and graceful, which is a lot more colorful than yesterday. Mrs. Yuan looked at her carefully from head to toe and nodded slightly.
The sister-in-law first asked for peace, and then she was busy pulling Shuyue to kowtow to Mrs. Yuan. Mrs. Yuan hurriedly stopped and said with a smile: "Don't!" Look at how well-behaved this look, it makes people feel comfortable at first glance. She pulled Shuyue in front of her, first looked at her hands and then her eyes, and said with a smile: "Staying up late to be a buddy again?" Shuyue looked ashamed of something, and when she asked, she replied honestly: "Grandfather's leg hurts on a rainy day, because the old people said that there will be rain this year, so I rushed to make a few knee pads." "This is an honest boy who has always had an answer. The sister-in-law was looking wildly on the side, but she just couldn't speak. Mrs. Yuan didn't see it when she saw it, and asked along the water: "What else are you busy with?" β
The sister-in-law immediately laughed and said, "You kid, didn't you embroider a purse and say that it was specially given to Madame."
Madame smiled. Shu Yue's face was dyed, and she touched a small purse from her sleeve and presented it to Mrs. Yuan respectfully. This purse is trimmed with red satin pine flowers, embroidered with two yellow orioles singing green willows, and there is a poem next to it: "It is the most beneficial spring of the year." "There is a two-tone ribbon on the top and a tassel of the same color hanging from the bottom.
Mrs. Yuan didn't say much, only nodded and praised: "Sure enough, it's a pair of skillful hands." At a young age, he had such an experienced needlework. Just look at it, my aunt has something to trouble you. β
Before Shuyue could answer, the sister-in-law had already rushed to offer it: "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, it's her blessing that Mrs. can look down on." Mrs. Yuan was not polite, she directly took the small dustpan and handed it to Shuyue: "This is Shuheng's, I have been embroidering for a while, my neck is sore, the girl will help with a few stitches." Shuyue nodded yes, and then took it, not much to say, but the sister-in-law stretched her neck and leaned over to look, and said: "In the end, it is the style of the house, look, the things that this child wears are so bright." I don't know what kind of material it is, it's new and bright, green like water, it's going to drip out. It's refreshing to look at. β
Mrs. Yuan also smiled, looking a little helpless: "It's right to look at the refreshing." This ingredient has the name "Inluro", which means that it is soft and refreshing, like dew on the leaves of grass. You don't sweat when you wear it on a hot day. It's all Shuheng's girl, who is still restless at a young age, afraid of the heat, refuses to wear anything when she sleeps at night, and is afraid that she will catch a cold when she puts ice. This material was specially given to her by the mother of the palace. There are only a few horses in the country, where can ordinary people wear this. I'm busy doing this, but I'm ready to do it. β
The sister-in-law was so shocked by this favorite child's behavior that her eyes widened and she couldn't say anything, and it took a while for Amitabha Buddha to recite a Buddha name.
Mrs. Yuan ordered the two little girls to take the tea tray and dim sum to the left room with Shuyue, and sent her red sleeves to take Shuheng and send it over. Shuyue's hands are so skillful, maybe her daughter will learn it if she looks at it more? Mrs. Yuan's vision is very beautiful. Open those who should be divided, and send away those who should be sent. Mrs. Yuan glanced at her sister-in-law, and then she got to the point. And this one can't wait. Who knew that Mrs. Yuan frowned, sighed, and told a story.
"Hey, it is said that feng shui takes turns, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, who can guarantee that they will always be prosperous and rich? But some people have sharp and ruthless eyes, and if they have some furniture, they put their eyes on their heads, looking down on this and that. "Mrs. Yuan's words are serious, and the elder God is there. The sister-in-law was inexplicable, and it was not easy to interject, so she had to echo it twice.
"Last month, there was a village grandmother, who seemed to be surnamed Ma or Niu, because at this time of year, the autumn grain was unripe and the summer wheat was exhausted, and the faces of adults who ate a few meals of wild vegetables and radishes were green, and the little grandson couldn't stand it and had diarrhea. Only then did she panic, ride a donkey across the river, and begged to come to the capital. Only then did the sister-in-law turn around: "Could it be that she has any rich relatives in this capital?" β
"Isn't it? It turns out that this grandmother's family name is Ji, and the ancestors of the early years came out and connected with the Ji Mansion. Who knew that their family did not produce another talent later, and after losing two generations in a row, they declined, and still lived in the suburbs of Beijing. β
"This grandma is here to fight the autumn wind with Jifu."
"Isn't it? Who would have thought that this Ji Mansion guarded the wealth of the sky but forgot the virtue of the mercy and mercy of the elders, and did not see this grandmother, only said where she came from and called Huazi, and threw two taels of silver out of the crack in the door and sent it away. Mrs. Yuan said while observing the expression of the eldest sister-in-law without a trace, and pretended to sigh: "The population of this compound is more than 10000, what can be hidden from people?" Not only that, but it is the nephews and nieces of the old lady Ji, and the granddaughters and grandchildren are rarely courted by the house. The old man strictly guarded his daughters-in-law, and checked the treasury at every turn, for fear that the furniture would make people move. Everyone doesn't say it on the surface, but who doesn't laugh behind the scenes? is worthy of the surname Ji, what a real iron chicken, not a hair! β
Although the sister-in-law was skeptical, her face had changed a little. She knew that her two sons were unreliable, not to mention her father-in-law, and she was expecting Shuyue to pull herself after marrying a good family. But if this is the case, won't the book be managed by the dead in the future? Don't think about getting any benefits yourself, fold into a girl for nothing.
"Hey. The last time my third aunt went back to Bofu Province, I saw that she was wearing a dress sprinkled with ochre and gold, which was still a dowry in the early years. When chatting, I heard her say that the old housekeeper is very strict. The daughter-in-law of this Ji Mansion went home once, and the clothes on her head and hands had to be registered thoroughly, and she had to reconcile the accounts after she went back, for fear of falling into something. I see that the third aunt looks at the scenery on the surface, but in fact, it is difficult to be the master. Therefore, a woman still has to marry well, and she was dizzy when she said that she was married, but she had half her life left to live hard. β
The sister-in-law was originally distracted by the β‘β‘ of the Ji family who had just been exposed, and this was even more to her heart, and she nodded again and again: "That's what Madam said." Although I haven't made much progress in my life and haven't seen much of the world, I have to get by. I only pity that my book has not been settled for the rest of my life. Her father doesn't care about his daughter, and her grandparents can't count on it, so I'm a woman scratching everywhere. I'm not afraid of Madame's jokes, although I have two children, I only use some of them in this daughter. Shuyue's wife also knows, and I just hope that Mrs. will not look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, and carry it. As he spoke, he burst into tears. Mrs. Yuan hurriedly handed her a handkerchief, knowing that the matter was half over.
