Chapter VIII
The old lady also reacted, this is, this is to make up for the daughter-in-law's tea? Isn't that going to invite Ning Mu over? How can there be a reason for this daughter-in-law's tea to be respected, and it is natural that the two of them come together to be fulfilled. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The old lady saw Xue Rulin standing there a little at a loss, and understood that she was a little embarrassed, so she came over and took her hand and led her to sit beside her. The Jiang family had already retreated when she heard the maid's report that Xue Rulin was coming, and she was not suitable for being present on this occasion.
The old lady who has no shelf, Xue Rulin, who has the heart to break through, and Ning Dongdong, who is lively and cute, so the waiting time is not too sad. Estimating that the time was almost up, the old lady made an excuse to let the maid take Dongdong to the small kitchen.
It didn't take more than a stick of incense, Ning Mu came over, it turned out that Ximei was afraid of extraneous branches when she asked people to pass the word, so she kept an eye on it, and didn't let the messenger say that Mrs. was here, nor did she say what she was going to do, so she said that the old lady and the old lady asked him to come over immediately.
He really didn't expect Xue Rulin to be here, and his heart, which had finally calmed down, instantly caught fire, what did she want to do? He would never believe that she had suddenly changed like this! A stone can cover the heat, but Xue Rulin's heart can't cover it.
The old lady spoke as the first member of the family, "Today, your daughter-in-law came to greet our second elder, thinking that you were too busy after you got married, and you haven't been able to drink the tea you respected." You're all here today, so make up for it. In fact, although the two of them don't care about those red tape, but the lack of this most symbolic etiquette is indeed a pity, just take this opportunity to increase their contact with each other, and then order a few words to them, maybe the days will slowly become more flavorful!
Himi took two mats and placed them side by side in the middle of the ground, and the magpie put the prepared warm tea in the middle.
After that, they went to remind Ning Mu and Xue Rulin to go to the tea ceremony.
Looking at the two foreshadows next to each other, the two of them all felt awkward, a handful of old people, and they still have to kneel together to accept the blessings of their parents like children who have just gotten married?
Rulin knelt down first, Ning Mu looked at Rulin who was kneeling on the ground, and didn't move.
"Ning Mu!" The old lady wants fire.
Ning Mu had no choice but to kneel. A hundred years of repair can be crossed in the same boat, and a thousand years of repair can be slept together. He and Xue Rulin can't say whether it is a bad fate or a good fate, she kneeling beside her is his wife, kneeling like this, half a head shorter than him, and the side is beautiful and soft. For her, he had paid his entire youth, he was afraid that he was tired, could he trust her? Close your eyes, that's it, that's his life.
The old lady looked at the two children in front of her, her tears were about to burst again, and she was glared back by the old lady, and the old lady glared at him and controlled it. It would be nice if it had been so good all the time.
"Son Ning Mu", "Daughter-in-law Xue", "Tea for father and mother." Shuangshuang raised the teacup in his hand to the second elder.
The second elder took the tea with a smile, took a sip and put it down.
The old lady said something to let the two of them live a good life, and everything was prosperous. The old lady asked Ximei to bring the things up, it was an old bracelet with a decent water head, which was passed down from the previous generation to the next generation of daughters-in-law. In the most difficult time at home, the old lady didn't sell it, so she found another way to survive. This bracelet has been with her for decades, and she has never had a chance to give it away, but fortunately she can give it out today.
I put it on Rulin's wrist with my own hand, and the white wrist was paired with a turquoise bracelet, which was very good-looking.
"After that, this bracelet will be passed on to you, and in the future, you will pass it on to Shao'er's daughter-in-law, and it will be passed on from generation to generation." The old lady held Rulin's hand with both hands and instructed earnestly.
"En......" Xue Rulin finally couldn't hold back the atmosphere, and a tear fell. It has been more than ten years since his parents are gone, and those who have parents will always have the right to be children. In-laws, this is ...... I've always treated her as a child!
Ning Mu looked at the teardrop that was shattered on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.
The old lady could only sigh. After all, the old man was old, and his mood fluctuated too intensely this morning, so he allowed them to retreat with Dongdong. Xue Rulin hurriedly agreed, and the old lady often came to ask for peace in the future.
Dong Dong filled his purse with several pieces of fresh pastries, and with a piece in his mouth, he stretched out two little fat hands with pastry foam and took his father with his left hand and his mother with his right hand.
Ning Mu saw that her little hands were dirty, so she hugged her in her arms, took out the handkerchief on her body, and wiped her with one hand.
Then he strode out with a teasing knock, "Let's go!" "Father's embrace is the warmest and firmest, and the sound of Dongdong's cheerful laughter wafts inside and outside the house. Rulin hurriedly followed.
Out of the courtyard, Ning Mu put down Dong Dong, stopped at Zhao Rulin and said, "Xue Rulin, I don't care if you are sincere or false today, I accept your feelings!" What you asked me for yesterday, I have already arranged, and it is estimated that it will take at least a few months. After that, I hope you can always be kind to the elderly and children, if it is fake, I also hope that you can insist on a little longer, I am also willing to give you the corresponding decency, we can not do each other, but also hope to be able to respect each other. ”
Rulin laughed mockingly in her heart, "Respectfully follow the teachings of the husband, and send the husband to you!" Knock knock, let's go! Your dad has to go on business. ”
Ning Mu turned his head and left.
After that, Rulin spent the whole afternoon looking at the account books, first counting her dowry, and then planning to take over the affairs of the house.
Over the years, her dowry has been taken care of by Su Niang, Su Niang was brought out by her mother's family, she was ruined by robbers when she was very young, and she left a scar on her face, it was Xue Rulin who begged her mother to buy her because she was pitiful. She didn't plan to get married in this life, so she stayed by Xue Rulin's side to serve her.
Later, Rulin found out that she had a smart brain, so she let her learn to manage accounts and learn to do business from the shopkeepers in the shop.
Su Niang really learned very fast, and soon got the reuse of Rulin, her dowry was very rich, in addition to the utensils, a large amount of silver at the bottom of the box, as well as three shops, a Zhuangzi, after marriage, these were all handed over to Su Niang to take care of.
Take a look at your dowry, just know it in your heart, there is no difficulty, Su Niang knows how to repay her kindness, she has no relatives and no reason, and the deed of sale is in her hand.
The difficult thing is to take over the mess in the house, and you have to start from scratch.
There were nine masters and one hundred and fifteen slaves. It involves wages, purchasing, kitchen, pulp washing, and marriage...... Many things.
In all fairness, this is far from the official families of Beijing Central University. Ning Mu spoke in a low voice, a single seedling, and left his hometown because of the early years, which can be regarded as a break with the family.
Therefore, although Ning Mu is in a high position now, his life is not as beautiful as it seems. The emperor is still young, and the noble forces in the capital are intertwined, and he wants to rectify it but does not have the ability. Therefore, he took the opportunity to vigorously promote young people with simple backgrounds and low backgrounds.
Ning Mu was like this back then, with a low background, strong ability, and Xue Jin's beloved apprentice. Sure enough, he did not live up to the emperor's expectations, and when he was given a chance, he firmly grasped it and climbed up step by step.
Naturally, he was not the only one in that group of people, but there was also one other person who came up, that is, Xu Jingsheng.
