Chapter Twenty-Eight: Lanterns
Meng Langzhong told Su Yuzhu to take care of his body again, then he turned around and said to Meng Xiuming, who had not spoken beside him: "Yangzhi, let's go back first, let your sister rest for a while." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Meng Xiuming said: "Uncle, I will say a few words to Sister Zhu. ”
Meng Langzhong nodded and walked out first.
Meng Xiuming is not very good at words, and when Meng Langzhong left, he still didn't speak, took a box that he was holding with his little servant, handed it to Su Yuzhu, and said: "The words on this lamp were written by my aunt before, and if you stay here, it will be a thought after all." ”
Su Yuzhu took the box, and when he opened it, it was a small lotus lamp, and on each lotus petal, there were words written in hairpin letters.
It was the mother's handwriting.
Su Yuzhu was in a trance.
She still remembers that when she was a child, she liked lanterns the most, and every year in the first month, her grandfather's family would bring her a lantern made by Meng Xiuming himself.
Until she was fourteen years old, she never stopped.
In her previous life, the last words Meng Xiuming, who had always been lazy to speak, said to her in her impression was: "Did my sister get the lanterns I sent over the years?" ”
At that time, eighteen-year-old Su Yuzhu was about to marry into Qiao's family because of Qiao's mastery. She spent more than two years in the Su family in a low-key and serious manner, and finally changed her bad reputation for the better, and ushered in a family affair that looked quite good at that time.
She was grateful to Qiao's for treating her kindly, and only thought that after marrying, she would serve her husband for a good life. When you are so ignorant, afraid, and looking forward to the future, where can you think of other things? Even if I haven't received it, I just said perfunctorily: "I received a lot of things, I don't remember." ”
Then, marrying in the Qiao family, those embarrassing things made Su Yuzhu clumsy, it was already difficult to gain a foothold in the Qiao family, how could she accept things from outsiders and let people chew her tongue?
Not only did he confiscate it, but even Meng Xiuming never saw it again.
At that time, she was an outsider when Meng Xiuming was an outsider.
These lost memories were remembered little by little with the rebirth, and combined with the various things in the past life and later, Su Yuzhu also figured it out.
In her previous life, someone deliberately cut off her connection with the Meng family, and at that time, she was too busy to take care of herself, so she couldn't think of it.
It's a good thing to live again now and figure it out.
These thoughts and thoughts were just a flash, Su Yuzhu held the lantern in his arms with joy and gratitude on his face, and said with a smile: "Thank you, big cousin." Is my cousin going to stay in Beijing this time, or is he going back to Dongshui Mansion? ”
Meng Langkun has been managing the river in Dongshui Mansion for four years, and Meng Xiuming has always been in office.
Meng Xiuming shook his head: "Grandmother is not in good health because of my aunt's affairs, I have to go back first." ”
In his previous life, because of Su Shu's husband and wife, his maternal grandfather and grandmother were too worried, but when they were a year old, they passed away one after another.
Later, Su Yuzhu also thought about whether the Meng family would be safer if his grandfather and grandmother did not die?
Thinking about it, Su Yuzhu hurriedly said: "Yes, cousin, wait a minute, I will write a letter to my grandfather and grandmother, and my cousin will bring it over." Don't tell the two old people to take good care of their health, and when I have time, I will go back to see the second elder. ”
As he spoke, Su Yuzhu didn't wait for Meng Xiuming to nod, so he hurriedly found a pen and paper, wrote a letter, folded it, and handed it to Meng Xiuming.
Meng Xiuming took it, put the letter close to himself, and then said: "Well, I will tell my grandfather and grandmother, and my sister should also take care." ”
Su Yuzhu personally sent Meng Xiuming and Meng Langzhong to the outside of the village, saw them get into the carriage, and stood for a while before returning to the courtyard.
Now, the house that is not much bigger in the Tonggong has been cleaned up, and the big housekeeper saw Su Yuzhu turn back and said, "Miss, take a look, but what's wrong?" ”
Su Yuzhu glanced at the furnishings in the house.
What cabinets, boxes, beds, bottles, candles, bowls, curtains, bedding, pillows, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, should all be new and good things, no matter who comes, they can't find the slightest fault.
Su Yuzhu nodded: "The housekeeper has worked hard, and Uncle and Aunt Lao have to worry about it." ”
The big housekeeper smiled and said: "I don't dare to call it hard, Mrs. asked the little one to tell the eldest lady that according to the customs, after a few days, I will have to ask someone to get everything back. ”
When Su Yuzhu heard this, she smiled faintly and was noncommittal, but she took out a silver ticket from the purse that Meng Langkun gave her, and without looking at it, she handed it directly to the big butler, "Please have tea here." ”
The chief housekeeper took it and saw that it was a silver ticket of fifty taels, and he was immediately overjoyed, and opened his mouth to thank him, seeing that Su Yuzhu was tired, he hurriedly asked Su Yuzhu to rest early, and he took people and left Zhuangzi.
Su Yuzhu sat back on the newly cleaned bed, and then opened the two purses and looked at the contents of the contents.
One contained ten silver tickets of one hundred taels, and the other contained nine silver tickets of fifty taels.
Meng Langkun is in charge of water affairs, although it is a place with abundant oil and water, but he is a person with clean sleeves, just look at Meng Xiuming's clothes to know that the material is not good or bad, but it is cut properly and clean; And Meng Langzhong is the superintendent of Taixue, although he faces a group of dignitaries and nobles every day, but the authentic Qingshui Yamen is a bookish person, and of course he doesn't have much money.
But even if it is 1,500 taels of silver, it is enough for the family to live for a lifetime.
Su Yuzhu came out of his mind, put the two purses under the pillow in front of Cuiliu, and when he looked up, he saw Cuiliu looking secretly, and when he saw Su Yuzhu looking over, he hurriedly looked away.
Su Yuzhu smiled, took out the purse again, drew a silver ticket and handed it to Cuiliu: "Sister is also hard." ”
Seeing that there was such a good thing, Cuiliu immediately took it and said with a smile: "Slave and maid thank Miss Xie for the reward." ”
The two of them were in the house, and outside Mrs. Qi also came in with a teapot and complimented: "Miss, Miss Cuiliu, I've been tired for a long time, let's take a sip of tea." ”
Cuiliu now arrived at this Zhuangzi, and thought that she was the first one, and suddenly saw a mother-in-law walk in, immediately frowned, and shouted: "You mother-in-law, in front of the eldest lady, you are also here?" ”
Qi Pozi jumped, she has always been the first person in this Zhuangzi, where has she been yelled at like this? But the first-class girl next to the eldest lady is still a person sent by her wife, so she is naturally much more expensive than her. She didn't dare to speak, and she couldn't stand or walk.
Seeing that Mrs. Qi didn't dare to speak, Cuiliu was even more proud, came over and opened the lid of the teapot to take a look, and said, "This is also the tea that the eldest lady can drink?" As he spoke, he said in a loud voice, "Midori! ”
The little girl in green outside the door hurriedly ran in: "Sister Cuiliu! ”
Cuiliu didn't look at the mother-in-law directly, but said: "Don't look at it a little, can anyone let it in?" What should I do if I disturb the young lady? ”
Qi Pozi's face was purple, she hung her head, where did she dare to speak?
When Cuiliu finally finished wielding, Su Yuzhu finally spoke: "Mother Qi doesn't know, Sister Cuiliu doesn't blame her." As he spoke, he took out another one from his purse and handed it to Mrs. Qi, "Mother Qi has also worked hard." ”
Qi Pozi saw from a distance that it was a silver ticket of fifty taels, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly waved her hand and said: "The little one doesn't dare, it's the small one that disturbs the eldest lady's rest, and the little one retreats first!" ”
With that, he retreated in a panic and tripped over the threshold.
Cuiliu and the three green girls laughed in the back.
Su Yuzhu watched this scene quietly, and only after breaking the word "stupid" in his heart, he opened the box sent by Meng Langzhong and took the book casually.
But it was the "Historical Records" that my grandfather personally copied and annotated.
She smiled softly, leaned back on the bed, and looked closely.
From now on, she can be regarded as temporarily settled, and she can follow her heart first......
