Chapter 138: Fortune telling
Hongchen smiled, seeing that the eldest girl mentioned her husband, the spirit of the whole person was different, and she also knew that her marriage was excellent.
But if you think about it, the marriage of the eldest girl will never be bad.
She is a person who can live, when she is at home, she does all the farm work and housework well, especially a good embroiderer, which is not as good as the embroidery room in the county, but in the farmer's house, it is definitely countable.
is simple and kind, does not care, is kind to others, as long as the person who marries is not particularly out of tune, what kind of life is also good.
Jiang Zhuang is a proper person, with a rational brain, and will not harm her daughter, she is Gu's daughter, and Gu's loves her, even if she is not as good as Jiang Yi, it is not too much.
If you want to say that Gu's person doesn't have much patriarchal thinking, and he is not good for himself, it is just because he is not her bloodline, but for other children, she is quite flat with a bowl of water, and she is more attentive to Jiang Yi, because he is a son, can study, seek fame, and make greater contributions to this family, but she is not a person who does not love her daughter.
Hongchen hadn't thought about it before, after going through so much, even if he didn't bother to analyze the selfish Gu family, he could speculate on everything.
"The cotton cloth you brought is good, it's even better than the one you gave during the New Year, I cut it out to make underwear for Xianggong, and the rest is enough for Huzi to wear."
The eldest girl took a few pieces of cloth, looked at them carefully, and compared them, and was very satisfied.
Hongchen helped her spread out the silk and let her look at it.
The two of them had a tacit understanding, and no one mentioned Gu's, and it was noon. Luo Niang prepared a large table of delicious food with color and fragrance, the eldest girl didn't eat, so she went out with the food box, Jiang Zhuang pushed Hongchen to eat, and drove to send the eldest girl.
I'm afraid they're going to deliver food to the Gu family.
Don't look at Jiang Zhuang and the eldest girl are both understanding people, and they never say anything in front of Hongchen, but for the Gu family, both of them are heart-to-heart, they are a serious family.
Luo Niang looked at her. I can't help but feel a little sorry for my own young lady.
Although this distress seems to be very unreasonable.
"Miss. I'm so envious. ”
She also envies this family, the Gu family is so vulgar, and people are stupid, and it is not too much to say that the things they do are extremely evil. But she loved her children. Love her family. Try to run your home well.
Her husband and children are also sincerely towards her.
Those big families, I'm afraid they will never find this sincerity again.
"Man!"
Hongchen smiled. Pulled Luo Niang to sit down, "Okay, eat." ”
People are inherently very complicated, your enemy, she will also be other people's children, other people's parents and wives, other people's beloved, he may also have his own love and hate.
If you think she hates you and treats you badly, it's only because you're not the one who's willing to give her heart and love.
It was past noon.
Jiang Zhuang and the eldest girl just came back, and the two of them at least looked good when they went home, and the eldest girl also bought a box of maltose for Hongchen, which was her favorite food.
Back then, the Gu family occasionally bought some snacks for the eldest girl, and never gave them to Hongchen, but the eldest girl would secretly hide some of them and stuff them in her sister's mouth.
Hongchen took a piece and tasted it, well, it wasn't very delicious, and it didn't have the sweet temptation as long ago.
In the evening, the neighbors all came to get together.
The elders of the village brought their children, Da Niu, Huzi, Yuzhu, and Xiaocui, except for those who had married to other places.
It's good to arrive, saving the time of Hongchen to visit and give gifts.
Some elders of the Jiang clan also arrived.
Hongchen knew in her heart that her identity was different at this time, those clan elders could control the clan for many years, even if it was a poor family like the Jiang family, they would all come to trouble, and now they would not take the opportunity to have a relationship with her Dolara to have a ghost.
Sometimes it is more useful to get a little close to the big people in the capital and bring a little bit of reason than having thousands of family assets.
It is said that the owner of a big restaurant in Qixian County offended the relatives of a concubine of the emperor, and that relative still belonged to a cousin who couldn't be beaten, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly ended his business, left his property and went away.
In fact, if you really calculate it, the emperor's beauty, I'm afraid he doesn't know that he still has such a relative.
It is not easy for little people to survive in the world, and if you have the opportunity to get a backer for yourself, it will definitely be a pie in the sky.
Hongchen didn't mind, and said politely for a while.
The big girl looked at Hongchen, she was a little rusty at first, and she relaxed after a while, after all, she was a partner who played together when she was a child, these girls have a simple temperament, I'm afraid they can't understand what kind of character Hongchen is now, maybe they know how much she went to the capital, she is rich, her family is rich, and she is afraid that she doesn't understand.
"Big Sister Hongchen, they say you're a spirit master now? Then you're going to see it, you show me. ”
As she spoke, she squirmed a little.
Hongchen smiled, blinked, really sat down, took the girl's hand, looked at her carefully, and nodded while watching: "Girl, you have good luck, everything has been going well recently, and there is peach blossom luck, I'm afraid there will be happy events in the near future." ”
The girl's face turned red, and she unconsciously showed a little shyness.
"However, you need to be careful today, there is a disaster of breaking the wealth, but you don't need to worry too much, it's just a small fortune, and it can't hurt the root."
The big girl nodded ignorantly.
The others were curious: "Hongchen, can you really be counted?" ”
"Quasi-not?"
"I heard that the spirit masters are all fortune-telling for the prince and grandson, and even His Majesty the Emperor and his old man, it must be accurate."
Hongchen: "......"
What is the emperor's life to calculate, he is the emperor!
At this age, the emperor is still very prestigious, and in addition to the frontier, he has to worry about his sons.
Tell him a fortune, and just catch a white-bearded old man from the side of the street and enter the palace, that's not bad.
Those high-ranking officials and nobles, the lives of the gentlemen don't need to be counted, just a whole set of rhetoric, with something to guard against villains and betrayal of allies in a certain year and month. Committing peach blossoms, unfavorable to official luck, etc., is absolutely accurate.
Let's just say that the big girl, looking at the clothes she is wearing now, the hairpin on her head, the makeup painted on her face, and the red look on her face, she must have a crush, and there is no sadness between her eyebrows, even if she is worried. It's just a little bit of a little girl's thoughts. It must be very smooth, maybe the family has already started to talk about marriage, and it must be right to say that she has peach blossom luck.
As for the broken fortune, his father said that his youngest son was coaxed to gamble again. The big girl has always liked to stuff money for her younger brother. Generally, it is a pocket flower obtained by female red. It's all given to my younger brother, and I think it's indispensable to subsidize it today, but don't you break the bank?
It's also fun to coax girls.
Hongchen glanced at Xiaocui again. said with a smile: "Xiaocui's luck today is not as good as that of a big girl, I look at your face, there may be quarrels, and you need to be calm, otherwise I am afraid that there is a possibility of attracting official criticism." ”
Xiao Cui was stunned.
Not far away, Xiaocui's mother, turned around when she heard the words, her face showed a little excitement: "Hongchen, you are really accurate, Xiaocui, this dead girl, that mouth is going to cause trouble, she just came back from the market, not to say that the seal sold by people is fake, but the one who came to sell the seal, what is it called Mu Ye, I heard that it is a famous businessman, she also quarreled with others, the quarrel was inextricable, and accidentally broke a piece of inkstone used by Mu Ye, even the yamen was alarmed, Mu Ye was very angry, and he almost sent her to prison, Fortunately, that master is also a broad-minded person, Xu is unwilling to deal with her little girl, and he left in a hurry because of other things, which can be regarded as letting this dead girl escape. ”
Xiaocui's mother was full of admiration.
Hongchen didn't blush.
She looked at her face, she simply listened to her pomegranate tree gossip as soon as she came back, Xiaocui mentioned her little thing when she entered the door, and used it to fool people at this time, but she was afraid to see Xiaocui's face, and it was not useless to fool her.
There was a lively talk here, and the elder of the Jiang family smiled and said: "That Hongchen, you also give it to you...... Uh, the Jiang family calculates, look at your father, how is your sister's luck? ”
Hongchen was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and sighed deeply.
As soon as she groaned, Jiang Zhuang didn't feel nervous.
Hongchen shook his head, and said after a long time: "I see that Daddy Jiang, Sister Eldest Girl, is still covered by dark clouds, and there is no auspicious omen, especially Sister Eldest Girl, the palace of the husband and wife is dark and difficult to see, and I am afraid that there will be some chaos and twists and turns in the in-law's house." ”
The big girl blinked.
The others looked at each other.
But there was some disbelief in my heart: "Impossible, don't say anything else, our eldest girl's man is a good person, and our eldest girl is also blessed." ”
Hongchen sighed in his heart - with the Gu family here, what good can the Jiang family get for a while, I'm afraid it won't be able to recover for a long time.
The eldest girl's in-laws, that is a big family, although her father-in-law is just a concubine who is not valued at all, but it is also from a big family, and there will never be less right and wrong, not to mention that the things committed by the Gu family will definitely affect the eldest girl, after all, the eldest girl is the daughter of the Gu family, her own child.
Now remind her to pay more attention, if there is nothing to do, it is naturally the best, and she is a little mentally prepared if there is something.
"Ahem, okay, let Hongchen rest for a while, and the fortune teller who meets you will also consume mental energy."
Jiang Zhuang smiled, led the men to drink, and let the women get together to talk and laugh.
Hongchen didn't mention it much, she could see that the eldest girl didn't believe it at all, so she privately pulled Hongchen's hand and whispered: "This time, sister, you miscalculated, my man is a kind man, and he can't go wrong." ”
I was laughing when there was a knock on the door outside.
Jiang Zhuang hurriedly went out to see.
It didn't take long for a bang to be heard, and then Jiang Zhuang's angry roar came: "Get out, get out of me!" ”
Everyone in the house was startled, Hongchen frowned, stood up and walked out, thinking that Tie Niu was still outside, so he was not too worried, but the eldest girl was so frightened that her face turned pale and ran out of the house all the way.
The other guests also got up to see what was going on.
Outside the gate, a middle-aged man dressed in a very gorgeous way stood at the door, smiling reservedly and looking polite.
The eldest girl was stunned: "You are ...... Road steward? ”
The middle-aged man smiled politely: "Miss Jiang is polite." ”
The eldest girl was startled when she landed - this is the title?
She shifted her gaze and landed on the box on the ground, and her expression immediately felt a little wrong: "Why is my box here?" ”
When the Jiang family married their daughter, the family was not rich, but it was not poor, and Jiang Zhuang's craftsmanship was good. The business is also counted in Qixian County, and he bought a dowry for his eldest daughter, and also built a mahogany box.
"This is Miss Jiang's dowry, as well as the three hundred taels of silver that our Yin family compensated you for, which is enough for you to live well, the letter of resignation has been given to Ling Zun, and I will leave."
Until the road steward Si Si finished speaking, got into the carriage, and drove away, the eldest girl did not react at all.
Others were stunned as well.
Leave the book?
Good half a day. The big girl just pounced. Grab the letter of resignation in my father's hand and read it - it is just very simple and formulaic, because the eldest girl has been married to the Yin family for many years and is jealous. So he divorced his wife.
The big girl trembled.
Jiang Zhuang hugged her. Gnash one's teeth. The muscles of the face are twisted.
Hongchen's gaze was also like ice and snow, and he took the book of resignation and shook it: "The book of resignation? It's almost the same as leaving the book, and I want to divorce my wife. Dream. ”
"Don't!"
The big girl roared and bit her lip, "I don't want it!" ”
Hongchen sighed, and didn't feel that the big girl was a bag, she had children, a son, a daughter, two children, how could she be willing to be a mother? Moreover, her father-in-law seems to have been very good to her over the years, listening to her, the two husbands and wives were in love and sweet in the early years, and now they are like relatives, and they have become an inseparable whole.
"Don't worry, don't cry."
She can't persuade anything, the two of them are probably different from her and Wang Yue back then, she and Wang Yue have no children, and secondly, that person is not sincere.
"I want to see my father-in-law."
The big girl staggered and was about to pounce out the door, Hongchen made a look, Tie Niu gave her a blow to put the person down, and Jiang Zhuang took her daughter back to the house to rest.
Nothing is clear now, he doesn't dare to magnify Ya out, if something happens, then how can it be.
"Brother Yi hasn't come back yet?"
Hongchen sighed, "Do you want to send someone to find him?" ”
Jiang Zhuang thought for a moment: "Forget it, he has been preparing for the exam recently, and it is not easy for the academy side, he ...... Mother didn't want to alarm him. ”
In fact, it's just self-deception, no one at home told Jiang Yi about the Gu family, but how long can such a big matter be hidden?
Jiang Yi's academy is in Qi County, and he must have gotten the news, there will always be a day of rumors outside, and it will not be too far, and Jiang Yi will definitely hear it.
Now Jiang Zhuang just hopes to hide it for a day, and he must let An Ansheng finish the exam well, and the pressure of studying in the academy is also very heavy.
Tie Niu's hands are not heavy, but the eldest girl's mental condition is not very good, as soon as she woke up, she let Hongchen pour a large bowl of soothing decoction and fell asleep.
Jiang Zhuang sat on the chair, stunned, Hongchen thought about the affairs of the eldest girl's family, and he was not sure what was going on with this letter of resignation.
According to the general development, it should be the man who climbs another high branch, so divorce his wife, usually if the man is developed, such as being admitted to the Jinshi or something.
But when you think about it, something is wrong.
The Yin family is a big family, and it is also a big family that has been inherited for more than a hundred years in Xuanzhou, and the situation at home is actually a bit complicated, of course, there are many families that are more chaotic than them, and it is strange that the big family is not chaotic.
The eldest man's man is the third son of the Yin family, and the son of the Yin family is a concubine, but unfortunately he died at the age of seven, and the second and third sons are both concubines.
The so-called concubine, don't look at it, you have to call her mother, but in the eyes of his wife, it is obviously completely different from her own children.
Yin San's second brother is the child of a spoiled concubine, Yin San's aunt Huang, that is a stuffy jar, low-key, and old-looking, not favored at home, I am afraid that in the eyes of the Yin family, she is useless compared to her subordinates.
In the Yin family, the head of the family is full of the son of his favorite concubine, and he takes him by his side to teach carefully, the position of the head of the family is naturally given to this son, as for the third son, it is Xiao Transparent, which is not as good as Xiao Transparent.
Although Yin San is not a smart person, he doesn't like the life of the Yin family at all, as soon as he reaches the age when he should get married, he doesn't wait for his father to choose a daughter from a big family for him to marry, so he begged Mrs. Zhengwu to marry Jiang Daya into the door, and split the family with one mind, if it weren't for a big family like the Yin family, even for the sake of face, it would be impossible for him to take his aunt away, he wanted to take his aunt with him.
He didn't ask for anything, he asked for a Zhuangzi, and the lady of the main room stuffed him with a thousand taels of silver, and lived with his wife and children. It's not like that.
Yin San's aunt died of illness last year, and Yin San had almost no contact with the Yin family, at most he went to send some things produced in the Zhuangzi during the New Year's holidays, which were counted as New Year's gifts, and they were no different from those clansmen who lived with the Yin family.
Hongchen was a little puzzled: "The person who came to deliver the letter of retirement is extraordinary, not an ordinary steward, a concubine who has a separate family, can also work and other people to come in person?" ”
Jiang Zhuang felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and made up his mind to set off for Xuanzhou. At all costs. He wanted to ask his son-in-law if he had made up his mind to divorce his wife.
The Jiang family was full of righteous indignation, and the old patriarch and the other clansmen planned to go with him tomorrow. What a strong voice.
This night. Even Hongchen didn't sleep well. I felt a little uncomfortable, and it was almost dawn, so I was a little sleepy.
"Miss. Wake up. ”
Before the sky was bright, Luo Niang got up, took her clothes and draped them on Hongchen, urging her to get up, "There was an accident last night, the eldest girl was going home in the middle of the night, so Tie Niu stopped her, I didn't think that I would suddenly hang myself just now, but fortunately, Tie Niu's ears were bright, and when I heard the chair fall to the ground, I felt that something was wrong, so I broke in." ”
“……”
Only then did Hongchen hear a faint cry.
didn't care about washing, so she only asked Luo Niang to take water and rinse her mouth, wipe her face, and she hurried to the big girl's house.
The eldest girl sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes glazed, and there was a deep red mark on her face, which looked a little swollen.
Jiang Zhuang's face was pale.
Hongchen didn't hesitate, he walked over to change the eldest girl's clothes, pulled her up, and dragged her out.
Jiang Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly followed.
"Let's go, go to the Yin family and ask clearly, you really don't want to live, and you will die in front of the Yin family, add bad luck and add to his family, why bother Daddy Jiang."
The big girl was pulled to a stumbling side, covered her face, and cried with a whimper: "I, I'm afraid, woo." ”
In the end, it hurt his throat, it hurt badly, and his crying voice was hoarse and ugly.
Hongchen didn't care what she thought, he pushed her into the car and beckoned Tie Niu to hurry on the road.
As soon as I went out, the whole village was alarmed.
Jiangjiazhuang is not big, the village is all related to the family, and those Jiang family clansmen, a clan elder took the lead, ordered a group of offspring boys, riding donkeys, pushing carts, holding handy weapons, mostly shovels, rolling pins, and carrying a big copper hammer, all of them majestic.
Such a big battle, even the eldest girl was uneasy, but she was not being treated well at this time, those people knew that she dared to hang herself, they all rolled their eyes, and when they saw each other, they opened their mouths to reprimand, and it was useless for her to say something.
The distance of Xuanzhou is not close.
It took them three days to arrive.
As soon as they arrived on the ground, the momentum of the Jiang family became more and more vigorous.
Along the way, Hongchen is responsible for all expenses, living well, eating well, but whenever he eats, he eats the villagers in Zhuangzi, and he may not be able to enjoy the first-class banquet several times in his life.
After eating and drinking, although it has been so long, everyone's righteous indignation has not diminished at all.
In these years, it is all a family system, and one in a family has a good life, and the whole family benefits, but if someone has an accident, it will also affect the big guy.
A few days ago, there was a Gu family, but the Gu family is just the daughter-in-law of their Jiang family, and the influence is not too much.
But then, another daughter of the Jiang family was divorced, so what's the deal? The eldest girl gave birth to children for the Yin family, abided by women's morals, and had no immorality, saying that she would be divorced, if she didn't care about this matter, wouldn't the daughter of the Jiang family who married out in the future be bullied casually?
“…… My home! ”
The entrance is a house that has been burned to the ground.
The eldest girl sat down with a plop, and couldn't help crying: "Wenwen, Yuanyuan, where are you, Xianggong, Xianggong, where are you?" ”
Hongchen sighed, pulled her up, smoothed her clothes for her, and frowned, "Let's go, go to Yin's house." ”
The two of them separated in the morning, and naturally they did not live in the Yin family's house, and there was still a long distance from the Yin family.
There were some people from the Yin family around, and they all came out to see, but when they saw that it was a big girl, they all shrank back, Hongchen thought about it, and didn't ask, she still had to find the main owner first, her cheap brother-in-law was.
The eldest girl cried for a while, wiped her tears, and now became stronger, and when she got into the carriage, she commanded a wild run, all the way to the front of the Yin family's mansion, and knocked on the door when she jumped out of the car.
After knocking for a long time, the porter came and opened the door.
"Who is this, can't find trouble?"
The man scolded and scolded, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw the big girl at first glance, and his face showed a little disdain, but his eyes fell on Hongchen's carriage, and he turned around from the snow-white horse, and the arrogance on his face was slightly retracted.
"Who are you?"
"I'm looking for my husband."
Menzi was stunned: "Are you?" ”
"I'm looking for my husband Yin Xian."
Before the words fell, there was a faint cry inside, and the eldest girl's face changed greatly, and she rushed suddenly, squeezing open the door and rushing in.
Hongchen didn't have a clue, and made a look, Tie Niu held down the door with one hand, and escorted the young lady to walk inside. (To be continued.) )
