Chapter I

In the Lanlin Courtyard, Mother Liu frowned and looked at the few satins held by the little girls and asked, "Didn't Madame ask people to go to Suzhou to buy brocade?" "But what are these in front of you? It's just ordinary silk.

It was the daughter-in-law of the second steward of the house who came to deliver the satin, and at this time she also looked embarrassed and explained in a low voice, "The eldest girl happened to come back." ”

Mother Liu's face sank, and just as she wanted to speak, she saw that the curtain in the inner room was lifted, and a maid ring wearing an emerald green skirt walked out, "Mother Liu, I don't have to quarrel with Mrs. for such a small break, since the eldest girl is back, these are all sent to the eldest girl." ”

It was Yahuan Danqiu beside the Hu family who spoke, and as soon as these words came out, I saw that the daughter-in-law in charge had a change in her face, and prayed in a low voice, "Where did the eldest girl use so many ......?"

Mother Liu didn't want to be entangled with these people, and glanced at the little girl ring next to her, and the little girl ring stepped forward and blocked in front of the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, "I'll send the sister-in-law of the Wang family." "The second steward is surnamed Wang.

Without waiting for the daughter-in-law in charge to speak again, Mother Liu and Danqiu had already entered the inner room.

After entering the house, Liu's mother couldn't help but say, "Madam, the eldest girl is too much, not to mention that she is married and goes back to her parents' house all day long, those brocades are not bought with public money, how can the eldest girl say that she can take it, and those stewards are also snobbish, if someone doesn't report the news, how can the big girl come so coincidentally." ”

Danqiu was also dissatisfied in his heart, when the eldest girl was not married, no matter what things or things were in the house, she was the first one, and the things in the public were all given to her own girls when the eldest girls picked the rest, but her own girls were young but very good, and she never competed with them, but she had the demeanor of an eldest sister than the eldest girl.

Forget about these, who let the eldest girl be the original match of the master, and lost her mother since she was a child, and her own wife is both the aunt of the eldest girl and her stepmother.

Because of the lady's concubine, although the lady's mother-in-law married the lady to the lord for the sake of her grandson and granddaughter, she never let the lady meddle in the affairs of the eldest young master and the eldest girl.

When Mrs. and Sister died, the eldest young master was six years old, and the master moved the eldest young master to the front yard, and personally took care of food, clothing, housing and transportation and did not let Mrs. interfere, and the eldest girl was taken to her side by Mrs. and Mother since she was a child, and she developed a domineering temperament.

But now the big girl is getting more and more excessive, although those satins are good, but Danqiu knows that the big girl is not lacking these, when the big girl got married, it was ten miles of red makeup, not to mention brocade, that is, there are special tribute to the flow of fireflies, the big girl just likes to block the lady, I am afraid that those satin will be taken back by the big girl and thrown into the warehouse to fall into the dust.

It's just that Danqiu can't say these words, and saying them will inevitably make Mrs. even more sad, "Why don't Mrs. write a letter to your uncle and ask your aunt's family to help." ”

Liu's mother didn't complain anymore, "I'm afraid it's too late, right?" In eight months, the girl will be married, and the satin ladies have been booked a year in advance, so they will get their hands on this year. If it weren't for that, Mother Liu wouldn't have been so angry just now, she had been serving Madame, and her eyelids would not be so shallow.

Danqiu said, "My uncle's mother's house is wide and ......" She herself is not confident enough to say this, "Why don't you send some people down to Jiangnan and look for more." ”

Hu Shi sighed and said, "That's all it takes, Danqiu grinding." ”

After Hu finished writing the letter, he handed it to Liu's mother, who immediately went to her own man and told him to hand over the letter to his wife's younger brother, and not to fall into the hands of his wife's mother-in-law.

Danqiu in the house kneaded Hu's shoulders moderately, Hu was looking through the dowry list prepared for his daughter, in fact, the things on it had long been remembered in his heart, everything was carefully selected by Hu, but it was inevitable to be unwilling to look at it, she was also the daughter of the master, but how could people's hearts be so biased.

"Danqiu go and bring the list from the warehouse, I'll take a look at it again." Hu put down the dowry list, and only paid 10,000 taels to prepare a dowry for her daughter, although she didn't expect her daughter to be as red as the eldest girl, but she didn't want her daughter to be too wronged, Hu divided his dowry into two, one for his daughter and one for his son, but most of the private houses saved over the years were spent on his daughter.

When Mo Shu'an came, she saw her mother writing something at the desk, and when she stopped writing, she smiled and said, "Mother is busy?" ”

When Hu saw his daughter, he smiled and beckoned, "Come and see." ”

Mo Shu'an responded, walked to the desk and saw that it was her dowry, and her cheeks flushed, she was already delicate and beautiful, and she was even more delicate at this time, "Mother......"

Hu Shi looked at his daughter's appearance, and patted the back of her hand gently, her daughter is only fifteen years old, she has such a color, if she is older, she is afraid that she will be more outstanding, and her daughter has a good temperament, and the candidate for her husband is carefully selected by her, and she will be able to live a good life after marrying, so Hu Shi is also much more comfortable, holding her daughter in one hand, and walking in the direction of the low couch with the other hand, "What is there to be shy, you have to take care of these things in the future." ”

Mo Shu'an answered in a whisper, and after Hu took his daughter and sat down, Danqiu had already brought pear soup and put it on the small table.

Hu Shi smiled, "Autumn is inevitably a little dry, pear soup is the most moisturizing throat, I know you don't like too sweet, just let people put some honey." ”

Mo Shu'an responded with a smile, bowed his head and drank, Hu Shi leaned on the cushion, looking at his daughter's crooked eyes, he only felt that although he did not marry a good husband, he could have this pair of children, and he was content in this life, "A few days ago, when the Liu family went to collect rent, I happened to meet a place where someone sold Lianshan's other courtyard because of the outside, although the courtyard was smaller, there was a small spring, I was going to ask someone to demolish and rebuild, and with more wages, it could be completed before you got married, and then added to your dowry list, You should also think about what flowers and trees will be moved in the yard. ”

The price of the other courtyard on the side of Lianshan is extremely high, not to mention the kind of spring in the courtyard, I am afraid that it is difficult to buy it even if it is rich, although the mother can buy it because of luck, I am afraid that it is more because the mother has been asking people to inquire about the news of Lianshan, Mo Shu'an shook his head and said, "Mother still stays by herself, and my daughter can go to live for a few days occasionally." ”

"Silly girl." Hu Shi smiled and nodded Mo Shu'an's head, "That's for you." ”

Hu was pregnant with twins and was born prematurely because of an accident, and his son was a domineering one in the womb, although he was born small and wrinkled, he was very healthy, and his daughter not only did not have her nails grown, but her crying voice was smaller than that of a cat cub, not only the doctor, but even her mother came to visit her and persuaded her to see some of it, and her daughter was afraid that she would not be able to support her.

It's just that Hu didn't believe it, he held his daughter all day before he was confined, and asked the nurse to move his son to the house, not letting outsiders get close to a pair of children at all.

Now his son and daughter are healthy and healthy, but Hu Shi can no longer get pregnant because he was injured in childbirth and was unable to recuperate during the confinement period.

Hu Shi always remembered that the imperial doctor said that the hot spring is good for his daughter's health, so he asked people to inquire about the news of the hot spring on Lianshan early, thinking that his daughter would not be able to buy it before she got married, but he didn't want God to bless him, "Okay, the matter is settled, I let people watch the repair, and when the time comes, move two peach trees and pomegranate trees over, not only look beautiful but also good." ”

Mo Shu'an's face flushed, and she understood what the meaning in her mother's mouth meant.

Hu asked people to clean up the empty bowl and put the dowry slip in front of their daughter, "Mrs. Zhang, you have also seen it, although she is stronger, she is not an unreasonable person, she is from everyone's background, and she likes to be polite the most, don't be naughty after you marry, do you know?" ”

Mo Shu'an endured shyness and listened to her mother talk about the Zhang family, after all, she married into the Zhang family in the future, and she had to deal with these people, "My daughter knows." ”

Hu asked someone to move the small table away, and leaned on the cushion with his daughter in his arms, "Zhang Jia Saburo is not only good at learning, but also good-looking, and the most important thing is that he is kind and gentle." ”

Mo Shu'an's eyes and cheeks were red because of shame, and Hu couldn't help pinching his daughter's face, "I specifically asked your uncle to inquire, and Brother Ting secretly observed it for a few days, and they all said that he was a good person." ”

"I don't even know......," Mo Shu'an said, biting her lower lip.

Hu Shi laughed, "Where can I let you know, but your uncle said that Zhang Jia Saburo...... The temperament is a little soft, but he is the youngest son of the Zhang family, and it is his brother who will inherit the Zhang family in the future. ”

Mo Shu'an said, "My daughter understands. ”

Hu knew that his daughter had been transparent since she was a child because of the situation in the house, "Mrs. Zhang has these two biological sons, the second lang of the Zhang family is from the house, and the eldest son inherited the Zhang family, so it is inevitable that he will be partial to the younger son, and when the time comes, he will not let him suffer." ”

Mo Shu'an smiled, "My daughter won't fight for things that don't belong to her." "But if it belongs to her, no one can take it away.

Hu sighed, "I'm afraid that you will be used to it in the mansion, and it will be inevitable that you will ...... after getting married."

Mo Shu'an said gently, "Mother, don't worry. ”

Hu Shi waved his hand and asked the little maids in the house to retreat, leaving only Danqiu to serve, and then said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, your grandfather handed over most of the family property to your own uncle, and you will have support in the future." ”

Mo Shu'an replied in a low voice, she knew the situation of the Hu family, her mother would be willing to fill the house, just so that her uncle could have a good future, her grandfather promised to take her uncle with him to teach, and after the sister-in-law inherited the Hu family, he would share his property and leave with his biological mother.

No one thought that only two years later, my grandfather's sister-in-law suddenly died of illness, and my grandfather and grandmother were too old to have any more children...... And the uncle has a deep relationship with her mother, so her mother will say that her uncle will be her backer in the future.

And the father? Mo Shu'an pursed her lips, she still felt wronged when she was a child, but now she won't.
