Chapter 124: Grounding
New Year's Day.
As soon as Wang Jing entered the hall, she saw Brother Bao smiling and holding the red envelope in her hand, "Sister, go and pay New Year's greetings to my father and mother, my brother and I have worshipped, and my father and mother gave me a New Year's red envelope alone." As he spoke, he took out the contents of the bills, all of which were brand-new fifty taels of silver tickets.
Wang Jing hurriedly took two steps forward and knelt down on the prepared futon, "I wish my father and mother a happy new year, good health, all the best, and happiness like the East China Sea......"
Before she could finish speaking, Liu Chengfang had already signaled the maid to help her up and handed her a red envelope.
Wang Jinggang wanted to refuse, but listened to Liu Chengfang: "No matter how old you are, you are the child of your father and mother, take the New Year's money." ”
After he gave it, Zhang gave another one.
Brother Bao was already urging her, "Sister, let's go, we're going to give Uncle their New Year's greetings." ”
Wang Jing came out busily.
Before he got out of the door, Brother Bao was already asking Wang Jing, "Sister, how much money did Dad give you?" ”
Wang Jing opened the red envelope and was shocked, it was actually five thousand taels!
Brother Bao saw her stunned there, and hurriedly said, "It's not as much as mine, or I'll share some with you." ”
Wang Jing smiled: "My sister is an adult, how can I want you, my father and mother have given me more than you, and when it comes to the Shangyuan Festival, my sister invites you to play." ”
Hearing him say this, Bao Ge'er became happy again.
Wang Jing opened Zhang's red envelope and found that it was also 5,000 taels.
How can there be so many?
Could it be that the land on the side of the academy has been sold? Even if the land is sold, it is impossible to give her so many red envelopes.
Liu Yongan also saw Wang Jing's red envelope, and his face sank suddenly.
While talking, the uncle's house has arrived, the three brothers and sisters said a lot of auspicious words, the uncle and the aunt also took red envelopes to them, each of them is a silver ticket of ten taels, as usual, they pushed it for a long time, or accepted it.
When they arrived at the second room, the brothers' silver tickets doubled, the land bought in the second room made money, and Wang Jing had the credit in the middle, and the red envelopes given to her were the most, fifty taels.
"There are more Jingjing, the little girl wants to buy a fat and powder, she has to spend money, and the kid has to suffer a little bit to make good money." The second aunt specially explained.
When she arrived at the third room, the third aunt only came out with melon seeds and peanuts, "Come, eat peanuts, eat immortality." After eating melon seeds, I grew up with a good mouth and drank hot tea, so as not to be thirsty......" said the third aunt.
She also wore new clothes, silk flowers, and rubbed powder and lipstick, and the wrinkles on her face became more and more numerous, "Your third uncle's family is poorer, you must not dislike it, come and play more." ”
Wang Jing didn't want to talk to her, and Brother Liu Yongan had nothing to say to her, so he nodded in response, "We haven't gone anywhere else, so let's leave first." ”
In addition to the three uncles' houses, there were several people from the uncle's and uncle's houses who were going, and by the time they had finished their prayers, it was almost noon, and the people in the family were still coming and leaving.
The grandfather in the rocking car, the grandson on crutches.
There are also people who wait at home in the morning for others to come to pay New Year's greetings, and in the afternoon they go to the elders' houses to pay New Year's greetings, and it is almost in the evening, when the New Year of the people who are close to them is finished.
Qiao Liu's daughters and sons are not around, so naturally they have to go to the old lady Deng early in the morning to pay New Year's greetings.
Thinking about the lively scene of other people's homes, Liu's heart became more and more uncomfortable, "Mother, Yan'er, she didn't die, her brother hid him." Seeing that the old lady was stunned, she repeated it solemnly and earnestly.
The old lady Deng's cloudy eyes immediately became as sharp as an eagle falcon, stared at her fiercely for a long time, and said coldly: "Palm! ”
Liu was stunned for a moment.
Obviously she is telling the truth, why doesn't the old lady believe her, hasn't the old lady always been shrewd? Why did you get confused all of a sudden?
"Mother, what I said is true." She repeated it again.
The old lady slammed the table and said sharply, "Slap your mouth!" ”
Immediately, two stout mothers-in-law walked up to Liu, pressed her to her knees on the ground, and slapped her with "pop", "pop", "pop".
I don't know how many hits, the old lady raised her eyelids, and the women went down quietly.
In the big hall, only Qiao Guangli and his wife were left.
Deng Shi pointed at Qiao Guangli and said, "You give me this vicious slut a divorce now!" ”
Liu Shi hurriedly "bang" and kowtowed three times, "What the daughter-in-law said is true." ”
Deng sneered, "What you said is true? Is Brother Yang'er's report to the court fake? Are the officials here in Haozhou reporting to the imperial court fake? What you said is true, Brother Yang is guilty of bullying the king, to put it mildly, he himself is going to be beheaded, and to say that my Qiao clan will be affected by you. ”
The old lady's voice seemed to come from hell, and Liu trembled unconsciously. She just wants to find her daughter, and by the way, let her son listen to her words, why did she deceive the king, why did she want to kill her son?
"I guess you've forgotten, who sent Yan'er to Dingyuan, right? If it weren't for you, how could Yan'er have bumped into the Hua family? You poisonous woman, you killed your daughter and didn't say anything, you are still talking nonsense! ”
Qiao Guangli also knelt down.
Deng only felt a headache.
At that time, in order to be afraid that her concubine would fight for the family property, she deliberately found a stupid woman for him who was easy to handle, but she didn't expect that when something bad happened, it would be bad in the hands of this stupid woman every time.
Hearing that Qiao Xinyan was not dead, the old lady was very relieved. even sympathized with Qiao Chaoyang, if it weren't for such an unobtrusive mother, his road would be farther and his future would be better.
After Qiao Chaoyang impeached the Hua family, the court and the central government were quickly divided into two factions: one faction advocated punishing the Hua family, and the other faction whitewashed the peace with their eyes open, thinking that the Tatars were inherently superior; Later, in order to appease the courtiers, the queen mother and the emperor had to treat the family of the sufferer well, and directly promoted the Qiao prefect from the prefect of Zhengsipin to the head of the Bianliang Road Governor's Mansion of Zhengsanpin.
Think about how many years the husband has been in this position in the prefect, if it weren't for this, how could he be promoted.
Although Yu Xiang promised Qiao Xinyan that marrying into the Hua family would also promote him, it was always not good to say it. The Yu family is a relative, and he has only heard of a century-old family, who has seen a hundred-year-old relative? Now it's the best outcome.
In order to avoid Qiao Chaoyang's resentment when he learned about this, the old lady deliberately asked her eldest son to take the New Year's goods to appease, and she was indeed relieved to learn that Qiao Xinyan was not dead.
Her husband is already in the age of sixties, and her eldest son can't stand up, and she is really afraid that the grandson born by her concubine will retaliate in the future.
Now I can feel more at ease, I didn't expect this idiot to be so stupid! I'd love to knock her head open with a brick to see if it's lime ticked!
"You've been away from home for so long, it's time to come back to spend time with my wife." Deng said.
This kind of stupid daughter-in-law still has to watch it with her own eyes to rest assured, I'm afraid that even her own son should be dead to her.
As soon as Liu heard that he was coming back to live, he immediately put it in an ice cellar, and even his heart was cold.
When she came back to live, the old lady would definitely let her knock out her front teeth and swallow it without saying a word.
"Before Brother Yang'er's spring, I made a vow in front of the Buddha that I would copy the scriptures for five years and give them to the Bodhisattva, so you can stay at home and help me copy them." The old lady said unhurriedly.
Liu's heart tightened, her mother-in-law was going to ground her in disguise, who would save her! (To be continued.) )
