Chen mentioned to You Ziyu in front of the eldest girl that he had to prepare more dowry, which not only won You Ziyu's praise, but also made the eldest girl grateful. When he arrived, he felt a wave of heat gushing out of his chest, sweeping all over his body, choking his throat like a foreign body, and making people's eyes hot, and he couldn't stop the urge to cry.

It's just that in the New Year's month, it's not good to cry out loud, which swept everyone's interest. The eldest girl had to hang her head in a hurry, trying her best to stop her tears, but her heart felt more and more warm. Third Sister You walked slowly, falling behind, seeing the eldest girl so moved, she couldn't help but smile slightly.

Everyone talked and laughed and walked into the main room, it was cold and the snow had fallen outside, Chen first took off the big hat under the service of the little girl, and roasted the cold in front of the smoked cage, and sat down with everyone else, and then ordered the little girl to pour the tea.

After offering tea for a while, I offered snacks and fruits. You Ziyu personally dialed an orange and handed it to Chen, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Madame has worked hard for days, eat some fruits to replenish her body." ”

Chen sneered when he heard this, because he said: "It's not sincere to listen to the master's words. Why haven't I heard that eating oranges can replenish your body? Didn't you coax me? ”

When You Ziyu heard this, he was immediately embarrassed, and hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "How can it be coaxing." As the saying goes, all things are born and each has its own use. It's like this sweet orange, and its skin can be ......."

You Ziyu said, and dropped the book bag for a while, from orange peel to orange flesh, Chen listened with a smile on one wall, and ate oranges casually. waited until You Ziyu finished dropping the bookbag, and then said with a smile: "It turned out that I was lonely and unheard, but I didn't expect oranges to have so many benefits." The obvious old man is erudite and knowledgeable, and he collects it every day, so he can say so much even if he eats an orange. ”

You Ziyu couldn't see Chen's smiling and graceful appearance the most. What's more, from Chen's pregnancy to the birth of a child in October, even though he sometimes stayed in the main courtyard, he never got close to Chen. For such a long time...... Before, for the sake of the heirs, he could still bear it. Now seeing Chen's eyebrows and coquettish figure, he can't help it anymore.

Even though he pretended to be majestic and coughed lightly, he instructed the eldest girl, the second sister and the third sister: "Brother Bao made a lot of trouble last night, and your wife never slept well all night in order to take care of Brother Bao. She was already tired. Don't bother her here, let her rest for a while, and you stand down. ”

When the eldest girl, the second sister, and the third sister heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. I snickered in my heart, and I had to be.

For a while, the three sisters of the You family got up and said goodbye, and You Ziyu sent the little girls who were waiting in the house, and then smiled at the Chen family and said, "I'm also tired." Let's settle it now. ”

Chen looked at You Ziyu's eyes and knew that he didn't have a good idea, and unconsciously took a sip on You Ziyu's face, and the whole person leaned crookedly on the Taishi chair, and his lower body was still looking at Erlang's legs, but his slender jade fingers slid around on the blue and white porcelain tea bowl, and a pair of bright eyes like spring water glanced at You Ziyu, and deliberately lengthened his voice in his mouth: "Oh, my lord was tired yesterday and wanted to sleep." But the concubine is not tired...... How good is that? ”

You Ziyu only looked at Chen's embroidered shoes swinging in front of him, and he couldn't hold it anymore. He stood up abruptly, took three steps and walked to Chen, bent down and picked up Chen, and said breathlessly: "If you don't want to sleep, then let me sleep......

Now it is said that You Ziyu and Chen have been in the room for an afternoon, and they don't know what they did. I only knew that before dinner, Chen specially changed into a long placket jacket embroidered with gold and butterflies all over the floor, covered with a lake green brocade plain cotton skirt, and changed a pair of embroidered shoes on his feet.

At that time, Brother Bao also woke up, and was lying on the kang head in the landlord's house to watch Mrs. You shake the rattle. The gold and silver hairpins on Mrs. You's head, the jade bracelets on her wrists have all faded, and the originally neat and oily bun has become a little messy due to the afternoon of tossing. The whole person looks even older.

Chen saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but smile in his heart. But his face was not revealed at all, and he still smiled at the old lady with a spring breeze on his face.

Bao Ge'er woke up less than half an hour after Chen's return to the room. After waking up, because he was gone, he cried and made trouble looking for his mother. Mrs. You was reluctant to cry her baby grandson, and she was reluctant to give her baby grandson to others, so she had to do everything she could to make her grandson happy. just bent over and hunched over to play with Brother Bao for an afternoon, and the whole person was sore and sore.

Seeing that Brother Bao had forgotten about her grandmother since she saw Chen, her eyes were shining and she stretched out her little arms like lotus roots to hug her. Old Mrs. You couldn't stop feeling sad for a while, and scolded in her mouth: "This little conscienceless person knows to look for your mother even if she doesn't care about your grandmother playing with you all day long." ”

Chen smiled and hugged Bao Ge'er in his arms and turned it upside down, and Bao Ge'er obediently wrapped a pair of arms around Chen's, and his little head kept arching to Chen's chest, and a unique milk fragrance of babies came from the surface. Chen patted Brother Bao on the wall, and said to the old lady with a smile: "Where do you miss me as a mother, I think he is hungry." The old lady will let me give Bao Ge'er some milk. ”

When Mrs. You heard this, she hurriedly pointed to the room and said, "It's true, I've been playing for an afternoon, and I think I'm hungry." Come in, don't starve my precious grandson. ”

Chen agreed with a smile, and for a while he hugged Brother Bao into the inner room, and You Ziyu was still reluctant to look inside. Old Mrs. You didn't look like it, so she had to cough lightly, and instructed You Ziyu: "Your wife has to take care of Brother Bao now, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get out of my body at night, and it is not good to rest during the day, which is enough for her to survive." You have to be considerate of her, too. ”

When You Ziyu heard this, his face turned red. Just about to say something, I heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, and a maid came in and said with a smile: "The eldest girl, the second girl, the third girl, the fourth girl and a few aunts have come to say hello to the old lady." ”

Before the words fell, I only listened to a ring of rings, singing and swallowing, and there were already girls and aunts of the You family who opened the curtain and entered the door surrounded by the maids. When they went to the hall, they first fainted to the old lady, and then they saw You Ziyu, and they saw each other, and then they sat down.

Because You Ziyu saw the eldest girl, he remembered that Chen had told him in the afternoon about buying a dowry for the eldest girl, and he had to return to the old lady.

When Mrs. You heard what You Ziyu said, she lowered her head and muttered for a while, before she smiled and said, "This is our negligence." Now the marriage of the eldest girl is not what it used to be, and if the dowry that was purchased a year ago is still a little shabby. ”

After that, he added: "Chen is a delicate person, and he can even think of this. It's not in vain that the big girl called her mother. ”

When Mrs. You said this, she paused deliberately, and then turned her face to the eldest girl and said with a smile: "It's better than your biological mother." ”

When the eldest girl heard this, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. Deng Shi stood up, his eyebrows lowered and his hands tied.

Seeing this, You Ziyu frowned in detail, and said to Mrs. You with a smile: "What is my mother doing with these for the New Year." ”

Old Lady You sneered: "I only laugh at your father-in-law's family. Obviously, it was their family's daughter, Fubo, and she couldn't think of the wealth of our You family, so she went early. In the eyes of their family, it seems that our You family has treated people badly. A few years ago, I had a big fight with our family over the matter of begging for a dowry, and because I didn't ask for benefits, I didn't even care about the big girl in a fit of anger. When Ming'er learns about the eldest girl's marriage, if their family really has backbone, don't come to the door, and seriously make a look of old and dead who don't get along, and let me say a word of admiration. ”

When the eldest girl heard this, her face turned red, and she hung her head down even more. Second Sister You and Third Sister You looked pitiful, and they all quietly stood up with the eldest girl. Seeing this, several aunts sitting in the room also got up immediately. Aunt Lan also got up with the four girls in her arms.

When You Ziyu saw it, he had to sigh and persuade in his mouth: "It's all in the past." The old lady didn't mention it. ”

When Mrs. You heard this, she sneered more and more: "It doesn't matter if you don't mention it." But Bai instructed me to make both of you awake a little bit. ”

Before a word fell, I saw that the Chen family had finished milking Brother Bao and came out of the room. Seeing that everyone outside was silent and stood with their hands tied, he smiled unconsciously and said, "Oh you, this is to welcome me and Brother Bao'er?" I don't have this face or this blessing, it's a big New Year, and don't break my life, just sit down. ”

Old Lady You couldn't help laughing through Chen's gag all of a sudden. When everyone saw this, they all sat down.

Mrs. You still patted her side, asked Chen to hold Bao Ge'er and sit on the kang by herself, and pointed to the eldest girl and said to Chen: "What you said to your master in the afternoon, your master just told me." But your master and I are negligent, and it's hard for you to think about it. You are the eldest girl's mother-in-law, and it stands to reason that you should also be responsible for the dowry. Just bother about it. ”

Chen discussed this matter with You Ziyu, and he had already had this intention. At this moment, when I heard Mrs. You's entrustment, my eyes rolled, and I said with a smile: "Reasoning, this matter should be handled by me." It's just that I'm going to take Brother Bao with me now, but I'm separated and flawless. What should you do, old lady? ”

What is the "what to do" about this, in Mrs. You's heart, even ten thousand big girls add up to one finger of Brother Bao'er.

Hearing what Chen said, Mrs. You immediately took it to heart, and was about to blurt out, but unconsciously thinking of Mrs. Chen's words that day, her heart tightened suddenly, and she looked at You Ziyu again, and then said with a smile: "Naturally, Brother Bao is the most important." He has to take care of his villain's family. Don't ignore the wind chill. If you can't spare time, just take on the name and ask the comprador to do it for you. It's not a big deal. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the eldest girl's face suddenly turned pale, and then she bowed her head and said nothing. A pair of hands also clutched the handkerchief, and the knuckles of the clenched hands were a little white.

The second sister was small and short, and she sat next to the eldest girl, and she clearly saw the crying on the eldest girl's face. I couldn't stop sighing in my heart.

But seeing Chen's again, he said with a smile: "Oh, my old lady, this is a matter of handling the dowry for the eldest girl, I should do it myself, where can I call the subordinate Zhang Luo." If it spreads out and outsiders see it, they will think that I, who is a mother, and I don't care about my daughter--even the big girl's face is not good-looking. According to my meaning, the old lady must work too hard to take care of Brother Bao for me during the day, and I can also take time out to handle the dowry for the eldest girl. I'll pick up Brother Bao back in the evening. How does the old lady feel? ”

Well, of course it's good. How bad.

Mrs. You also had this plan, but she was beaten badly by Mrs. Chen a few days ago, not to mention that she was tied to her son's future career, so she didn't dare to anger the Chen family for a while. At this moment, I heard that Chen took the initiative to mention that she should take care of Brother Bao'er, where is there anything bad. Dengshi said yes.

Chen had expected this, so he mentioned to the old lady that he asked Xia He Dongmei to help take care of Bao Ge'er. Old Mrs. You knew that the Chen family was not worried about her, and she was a little uncomfortable. It's just that in the past few days, the Chen family has coerced the prestige of the Chen family to fight with her a few times, and the old lady is frightened. Even though he was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he had to laugh. He still said that he was tired of Chen.

Chen smiled and said, "What about tiredness?" One is my son, the other is my daughter, and I can't say that I want to earn my life. ”

The eldest girl was not sad after the old lady's words, and when she heard Chen's words, she was already moved to tears. But it is not easy to show it under the New Year's Festival. I had to silently wipe my eyes with a handkerchief, raised my head again, and looked at Chen with a look of admiration.

Chen pretended not to know, but still smiled and asked the old lady where the money for the dowry should come from? He also asked what line and location should be chosen for the purchase and sale of the shop chosen for the eldest girl, and the old lady did not know all the trivial matters. What's more, her energy at this time has long been restrained by Brother Bao, where can she see others. had to be left to the Chen family and You Ziyu to dispose of it with full authority.

You Ziyu is a grandfather outside, where is the dowry of the daughter's family, and it is only necessary to entrust it to the Chen family......
