"Old lady don't have to be polite, I'm just going to do it."

Wan Chun smiled slightly, and there was no telling whether it was sarcasm or pity in his smile. The same face, but a change of identity, made the people of the Lu family grovel. If it was in the past, where would she have sat down, she would have served tea and water a long time ago, which shows how powerful people are.

Xiu'er felt obediently, seeing that Wanchun's legs and feet were inconvenient, she put down the fruit and went to move the chair and said, "Fourth Miss, sit down." ”

Wan Chun sat down slowly, and Old Lady Lu's gaze was still swirling around her.

These four young ladies not only look like her dead eldest daughter-in-law, but even look like every move to the extreme. For example, the way she walks and the way she looks at people are all the same as that person. - In addition to her identity and age, as Jianskirt said, this fourth lady looks much younger than Xie Yaxian, more like Xie Yaxian's appearance when she first got married, and she is also so green and beautiful, with a pair of eyes like ink paintings, and the neighbors on the left and right praise her for her good birth.

Now I know, what if I was born well, in the end, I was born in the wrong place, look at the style of others, how can the Li family in Beiling be comparable to ordinary people?

Mrs. Lu shook her head secretly, if Jianpeng had married such a young lady at the beginning, wouldn't she be a group of servants now, why should she suffer from her daughter's sin, it makes people angry to think about it.

She sighed silently, looked at Wanchun sitting on the edge of the bed and only looked at herself and smiled, she was busy covering up her troubled emotions, and said with a smile: "I knew a few days ago that Miss Fourth lived next door, how is it, is your injury healed?" ”

"Thank you, old lady, for your concern, my hurt ...... It's already a lot better. Wan Chun lowered his eyebrows and looked at his ankles, if it was not good. She won't be able to get out this time. It was a rare opportunity to be on an equal footing with the old woman in front of her, so she said again. "I knew that the old lady was also recuperating here, and she had been coming to visit. Unfortunately, the injury has not healed, and it has not been able to do so. I just heard you making a lot of noise next door, like something was going on, and I was very worried about it, so I came over and asked, is there anything we can do to help? ”

She knew that the person who quarreled with her was Jianskirt, but she had to mention it again, deliberately making her uncomfortable.

Mrs. Lu didn't know her ghost idea, and she only thought that this fourth young lady's heart was really good. She had pretended to be dissatisfied, suffering from no one to say, but now that someone came to the door to appease her, she said it one by one: "What can happen, isn't it a family misfortune?" The fourth lady probably didn't hear clearly, my uncompetitive daughter didn't know what to do, and donated a post of inspector of the Ministry of Communications to her husband. If you want to drive my old mother away, it's better not to drag them down. Tell me, what is the truth of this? ”

Wan Chun nodded and reluctantly smiled and persuaded her, but her head seemed to be unscrewed. Ka Cha Cha is moving. She was about to ask Zhongqing what kind of official Lu Jianskirt was donating, but she didn't expect that the old woman would say it completely, saving her a step of effort.

The Ministry of Transport's inspection said it was not a big deal. It's not small, it's always an official position that can be spoken. It's not so much that it's not eye-catching. Zhong Qing opened his mouth to allow an official like her, and there must be a lot of remuneration behind her. Lu Jianskirt's refusal to serve her mother can be regarded as a reason. However, why didn't Lu Jianhao come?

Wan Chun frowned slightly, even if that person was ruthless, after all, this was his biological mother, even if he went through the motions, he should go to the hospital bed to say hello, so as not to fall into the handle. If he doesn't come, he is always like a stone, weighing heavily on his heart, and he doesn't know what will happen one day. Wan Chun asked the old lady Na Lu: "Old lady, I have only seen your daughter come and go these days, why don't you see your two sons coming?" ”

Mrs. Lu's face turned pale, as if she didn't expect Wanchun to know so much, so she hurriedly said, "How does the fourth lady know that I still have two sons?" ”

Wan Chun opened her mouth, smiled and said to her: "It was Miss Lu who talked about it when she went to talk to me, and it is said that your eldest son is still the deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance, which is really amazing." ”

She almost missed her mouth, but the old lady Xingxi took it seriously, thinking that Lu Jianskirt's big mouth really dared to say anything, besides, she begged someone to do something, and if she didn't pull out Lu Jianhao to support the scene, who would want to take care of her? So he said, "What's the use? Since I was hospitalized, my eldest son has not been here for a day, but my younger son still thinks about it from time to time and runs around the hospital to see me. The younger son said that his eldest brother was busy with business and had heavy tasks, and he had to make up seven or eight reasons a day to cover up for his eldest brother. I can see through it, he comes when he comes, and he doesn't come...... It's just that I don't have this son. ”

"Perhaps, he's really busy." Wan Chunwu smiled to himself, slowly lowered his head, but his face was like the ice surface in early winter, and the snow had not disappeared.

This time, the yamen is not busy, just take a look at the brother-in-law, and I heard Fang Fei say that he was idle at home for two out of three days. Lu Jianhao is just a vice minister of finance, and no matter how busy he is, he may not be too busy with the town guards, and I am afraid that he will not know where to go to speculate and drill camps. This person really didn't have the slightest feeling of licking the calf and feeding him, and Wanchun's hatred for him became deeper and deeper.

The old lady didn't notice it, and said to herself: "No matter how busy you are, you should take some time, right?" I'm not an outsider, raising them so big, what have I tried to do with them, they all say that raising children to prevent old age, I see, it is better to keep the dowry by yourself, and save people's eyes to reach out to save money. ”

Well, dowry? Wan Chun listened to it, raised her head and blinked in confusion. She clearly remembered hearing Lu Jianhua say that her mother-in-law married her father-in-law who was ten years older than her because of her child daughter-in-law, where did she get the dowry? On the contrary, I remembered that time when Lu Jianskirt quarreled with Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu once said that she had a lot of dowries when she married in her previous life.

At that time, she thought that Mrs. Lu was coaxing Jianskirt to say, but now that she is really talking about the dowry, she can't help but be suspicious in her heart. Isn't it true that when her mother died, she did leave a dowry for herself, but she didn't know it?

The mother only has one daughter, and in those years of working as a domestic helper for others, although she did not earn much, it was always enough for the expenses of the mother and son, and then the situation in Shanghai improved, and the mother worked part-time in several households at the same time, so it is not impossible to say that she has savings. Besides, her correspondence with Lu Jianhao at that time had become public, and her mother had seen Lu Jianhao himself, so she didn't say anything, but she agreed with her behind her back, because the Lu family said that it was poor, and it was much better than their family. However, the dowry has only been given openly, where is the reason for the secret gift?

Moreover, Mrs. Lu also said that she had leaked her mouth at that time, saying that she was willing to agree to Lu Jianhao to marry her because they had a treasure in their family, but as for what this treasure was, she didn't say it clearly. But until now, Wanchun has never heard a word about the treasure from her mother.

All kinds of doubts, crazy as weeds, grow crazy in the heart.

Wan Chun lowered his eyes for a long time, and then smiled casually: "Or your children also have their own difficulties, it is inevitable to say a few angry words, after all, you are their mother, and they should honor you." Speaking of dowry, the customs of our old Beijing are all retained by the daughter's family, but I don't know what your customs in Shanghai are, is it different from the old Beijing? ”

Her words were full of inquiry, and Mrs. Lu opened her mouth to speak, but the words suddenly stopped on the tip of her tongue. She really made Lu Jian's skirt confused, and forgot for a while that the dowry was not her own, but her eldest daughter-in-law's. It is strange to say that Xie Yaxian is obviously the daughter of a poor family, and when she got married, she didn't know who had such a broad hand, and she actually sent more than a dozen boxes of dowry on the eve of the wedding, and it was as Xie Yaxian's closest relative.

She remembered that Jianhao once said that Xie Yaxian's parents were dead, and she was helpless in Shanghai, and there were no relatives and friends, so the wedding could be simple. So much so that when the dowry was sent in the door, she looked at the boxes of silk and jewelry, and her eyes widened in disbelief. Afterwards, he secretly asked Jianhao if Xie Yaxian still had rich relatives in Shanghai, but Jianhao denied it all his might, not only did he not know how there would be so many dowries, but even Xie Yaxian herself did not know, so she dared to take all the dowries behind her daughter-in-law's back. It's just that he didn't hide for a long time, so he asked Lu Jianhao to borrow it as materials for officialdom activities.

This matter has always been very secret in the Lu family, and the reason why Jianhua knew about it was because she unintentionally revealed her wealth, which made her mistakenly think that the dowry was a bride price given to her by the Si family.

At this time, since Wanchun had no intention of asking, the old lady immediately said with a sloppy eye: "The custom of giving dowries is the same in both the north and the south, and I just say this, when people are old, the words are always endless." At such an age, even if I have a dowry, I can't afford to spend so many years, I'm just angry that my children don't compete for it. ”

"Oh, it looks like I misunderstood."

Wan Chun smiled, raised his eyes and looked at the wall clock diagonally opposite, it was only a quarter past three when he went out, and it was almost four o'clock at this time. She herself and Mrs. Lu have nothing to say, and you can't be in a hurry to resolve your hatred, as long as the Lu family knows that there is a person like her who looks similar to Xie Yaxian, it is enough.

They have bullied themselves, and they will eventually bully them back little by little.

Jianpeng will come back soon to send Jianskirt, and it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so Wanchun got up and said goodbye: "Since the old lady is fine, I will go back first." You can rest in peace, and I will come over to talk to you next time I have time. ”

Mrs. Lu liked that a young lady of all of us treated herself so politely, and said with a smile: "Fourth Miss is polite, please go slowly." ”

Wanchun smiled and took Xiu'er out of the room, and heard the sound of the door closing behind her, and the smile was like a kite with a string, and slowly landed. (To be continued.) )

PS: Bow and apologize, the New Year is approaching, I'm really too busy, try to ensure that there is a change every day.
