Eighty-eighth
The second wife, Lu Shi, saw that there were two or three unfortunate things in the house, and she was even more energetic about her daughter Yihui's marriage, and she did everything herself, for fear that something would go wrong and something would go wrong.
Fortunately, for Yihui's marriage, she had been secretly preparing for it three years ago, so although the marriage was approaching, she was not so busy. The only thing that made her a little relieved was the Aunt Hu who lived in the backyard, I wonder if she would make any moths at this juncture?
Aunt Hu is becoming more and more anxious these days, because Yihui's marriage is approaching, the second wife has not taken care of Yifen's family affairs this month, and told those official media mothers-in-law to go to Aunt Hu to talk to her, and hand over all the family affairs of Sister Fen to her, so that she doesn't have to worry about anything else, just pick a good family for Sister Fen. But what those official media women said, how can there be any good people?
Although Yi Fei was divorced by Dingxi Houfu, she doesn't know when she will be able to talk about the next family affair to marry, which is a happy event for her mother and daughter, and she finally doesn't have to be as anxious as before to marry Sister Fen before Yifei marries Dingxi Hou, but this Sister Fen'er's family affair is still the biggest stone in Aunt Hu's heart.
She is not worried about her son, her brother Cheng is very fond of the old lady, and the old lady has already said that she will personally tell Brother Cheng about the next good family. Only the daughter is here, the grandmother can't count on it, and the grandmother is also unreliable, so she has to worry about it, but she is just an aunt, and she can't recognize the lady and wife in this capital, so as to help her match?
This Aunt Hu thought about it, and suddenly remembered a person, she remembered that when Yifang came out of the pavilion, the eldest lady who was released told her, saying that now they have a good family in front of Sister Fen, it depends on whether they dare to think about it! She wanted to ask in detail at that time, but unfortunately the second wife and they came, so she couldn't ask, and then the eldest lady was locked up in the small Buddha hall again, and never had a chance to talk to her again.
Otherwise, go to the small Buddha hall and ask the eldest lady again? Aunt Hu thought about it again and again, and felt that there was no one in this mansion who could discuss Sister Fen's family affairs with her, except for the eldest lady. So he made up his mind, took out a small bag of silver from the pillow, picked up two or three small silver ingots from it, and gave the little maid five hundred dollars to ask her to go to the big kitchen and ask for some wine and food.
At night, the maid was ordered to carry wine and food, followed her quietly to the small Buddha hall, gave the mother-in-law who guarded the door five taels of silver, and then coaxed open the door of the small Buddha hall, and allowed her to go in and say a few words to the eldest lady. She asked the little maid to serve the two mothers-in-law to drink and eat, and she went inside to talk to the eldest lady.
As soon as the eldest lady saw her coming, she knew why she came, but she deliberately didn't tell her, just gossiped with her. She was not in a hurry, but Aunt Hu was in a hurry, so she directly asked her about the good family she said last time.
The eldest lady turned the Buddha beads in her hand and said with a smile: "I just said it casually that day, why did my aunt take it seriously?" Your second wife is a famous lady from Xing'anbo's mansion, and there are many relatives in Xing'anbo's family, so she can't find a good family for Sister Fen to marry the son of Xing'anbo, and the son of another high-ranking family can be regarded as a good family! ”
Aunt Hu sighed and said, "I thought the same way before, but how do I know that our wife never mentioned that she found us from her mother's relatives." I once mentioned it half-truthfully, saying that Sister Hui married into the Lu family in Xing'an Bofu, and her two sisters had a good relationship, so if they also told Sister Fen about their family affairs in the Lu family, then let her two sisters have a care. Who knew that our wife actually refused at once, saying that the son of her mother's family had either already made a marriage, or was still young, and had no plans to discuss marriage for the time being. I'm just an aunt locked up in the backyard, and I don't know what my wife and grandmother are, and I don't know if what the second wife said is true or not! ”
The eldest lady pretended to be surprised and said, "No, then the son of Xing'an Boshi has a younger brother, who is only three years younger than his brother, isn't it the same age as your sister Fen?" I haven't heard that the second son of the Lu family has set up a family affair before! Come to think of it, I'm afraid that the second wife doesn't want Sister Fen to marry into her mother's family. "Who is willing to marry the daughter of a woman who robbed her husband of her husband to marry her nephew, isn't this adding to herself?
Aunt Hu was not happy, "I couldn't imagine that the second wife was such a stingy person, but our Sister Fen also called her mother, and she fell into the pool to save Sister Hui regardless of her own life, and the second wife kept saying that she would remember Sister Fen'er's good, and she would repay her well, and after making trouble for a long time, she still treated our Sister Fen as an outsider, for fear that Sister Fen would get something good!" ”
"This person is not a last resort, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! Sister Hui is her biological daughter, she naturally has to take care of Sister Hui more, if Sister Fen is allowed to marry Sister Hui'er's husband's younger brother, there will always be some disputes between the brothers and sisters, in case there is any accident in the son of Xing'an, then you Sister Fen will become a countess, how can the second wife stand this. ”
Aunt Hu suddenly said angrily: "Hmph, the more she doesn't want our Sister Fen to marry well, the more I have to find a good family for Sister Fen, although Sister Hui is married well, but who knows what will happen in the future, this person, laugh until the end to laugh the most proud!" ”
"Mrs., I know that you are a kind-hearted person in this mansion, you have never looked down on my background, and I feel sorry for our Sister Fen in my heart, otherwise I would not have pointed out last time that I said that there is a good family now, and I beg you to send the Buddha to the west, and then give me some pointers, if my sister Fen can really marry beautifully, our mother and daughter and her brother will be grateful to Mrs. for your great kindness for a lifetime, and what you let me do is made!"
The eldest lady pretended to groan, and turned the Buddhist beads in her hand twice before she slowly spoke: "Auntie, do you know how I got married in this house?" ”
Aunt Hu didn't know why she suddenly mentioned this, so she had to laugh and say: "Mrs., you married in this mansion more than 20 years ago, I only entered the door three years ago, how can I know?" ”
The eldest lady remembered the old things from decades ago, and her expression was also a little trance for a while, "My father is the younger brother of Lao An Xiangbo, because he didn't take the title, and he didn't mix with an official and a half-job, and he lived on my uncle Zhou Ji and the idea of ancestral property assigned to him all his life." He is a lustful person, my mother-in-law is a virtuous person, never care about him, by him one after another concubines to give birth to children, to the year of my and Lu, there are four sisters in the family who are to be married at the age of the year, except for my sister-in-law who said that it is a good family, the three of us don't know where our future is. My sister-in-law was promised to the eldest son in this mansion at that time! ”
"The eldest son in this house at that time? Isn't that the current big man? When Aunt Hu reacted, she couldn't help but ask: "Then what-?" "Then why is the current eldest lady married?
I heard the eldest lady sigh, and then said, "It's a pity! My sister-in-law's life is not good, seeing that the marriage is complete, I don't want to get sick the day before she left the pavilion, vomiting and diarrhea more than a dozen times a night, this seeing that the next day is going to visit the church to get married, but she is so sick that she can't even get out of bed, how can she still go to the sedan chair to get married? ”
"The next day is the day of great joy, it's not good to tell people to delay the family affairs at this time, so my aunt gave my father an idea, from the other three sisters of our choice to marry my sister first, but also thanks to my aunt came up with this idea, my sister-in-law's illness did not get up again, less than a month to go, if she was forced to marry, but let the happy event in this house become a funeral!"
In fact, her sister-in-law was just a little croton at the beginning, and it will be fine after some time to recuperate, who would have thought that after she learned that the marriage was robbed by her sister-in-law during her illness, she was angry and aggravated her condition. Her mother died of illness a few years ago, although there is a brother who can't take care of the backyard, neither has his mother to comfort and take care of him, but also sick with anger, it is only less than a month on the Huangquan Road, it is said that she called the name of the eldest lady before she died, and said several times, "There will be retribution, there will be retribution!" He swallowed his breath.
"Retribution?" , heh, a sneer appeared on the eldest lady's lips, I don't know if she is now locked up in this small Buddha hall is the retribution that her sister said, but if it is true, she robbed her sister's marriage only in exchange for such a little retribution, it is really worth it!
At least she is still alive, she is the mother of Uncle Anyuan, although she is now locked up here, but the old thing can still keep her for the rest of her life, although her husband is unreliable, but when her son attacks the lord, he will definitely take her mother out of the Buddhist hall, so that she can enjoy the blessings of the old feudal lord of this uncle's mansion.
"Because my aunt is the most favored by my father, I am also the most pleasing to my father. In the end, he chose me to marry my sister-in-law, so not only did I become the eldest wife of this Anyuan Bofu, but even my sister-in-law's dowry became my dowry! ”
These last two sentences really made Aunt Hu's eyes beat warmly, "What the eldest lady means is that if Sister Hui also got some kind of sudden illness the day before she got married, then Sister Fen can, but she only has Sister Fen'er's own sister, who else can go to the church for Sister Hui to get married?" ”
Sister Hui'er, who is she going to marry? That's the son of Xing'anbo, and when he turned around, he was going to attack the title of a third-class earl, as well as Na Yihui's dowry, it wasn't that the concubine in the house only gave five thousand taels of silver and sent things away, but there were at least thirty or forty thousand taels of silver!
If these are all returned to Yifen's ......, not only will her daughter marry well, but it will be a great help to Brother Cheng!
The more Aunt Hu thought about it, the more excited she became, and couldn't help muttering: "This is indeed a good family business, I was hoping that Sister Fen could marry as well as her sister, and I didn't dare to think of this, or the eldest lady You are smart, this is really thanks to your guidance, otherwise where would we have thought of such a good family!" ”
The eldest lady waved her hand and said meaningfully: "I didn't tell you anything, I just told you some old things!" Can't afford your gratitude? ”
Aunt Hu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Mrs., you just gossiped with me, and didn't say anything else to me, I know what you mean, Mrs. just rest assured, my gratitude to Mrs. will only be in my heart, and I will never say it." Ouch, what kind of virtue did I accumulate in my previous life, I would meet a good person like you, you are really the noble person of our mother and daughter's life! ”
Aunt Hu flattered her for a while, said a basket of good things, and then went with a thousand thanks. The eldest lady was spinning the Buddha beads under the oil lamp, but the corners of her mouth showed a cruel smile.
She didn't want to help Aunt Hu, but wanted to add to the second wife, when the second master was an uncle, their big room was not less angry with the second room, she has always remembered this account, and when she got the opportunity, she wanted to get something out of the second room. And that Yihui is also very much liked by that old thing, hum, if you can really be disturbed by Aunt Hu's family affairs, then it will be good-looking!
It's that Aunt Hu is stupid, she couldn't snatch Yi Hui's family affairs, and this matter has nothing to do with her, and it's strange and lonely that she is locked up in this small Buddhist hall alone, I wish there was another person in the house who made a mistake and was severely punished, so I happened to be a companion with her.
