Chapter 57: Bastards
In fact, according to the reason, Xie Rong's marriage should be avoided this year, after all, it was in the spring when Xie Yi got married, and there was no talk of marrying and marrying in a year. But one is that Sun Maoqi delayed his grandmother's filial piety for a year last year, and the other is that this prince was seen by the old Taoist when he was young, and he must marry before the age of 20, otherwise there will be a big disaster. The Chung Kok Mansion is not the one who holds the rules and doesn't let go, so after discussing it, they agreed to marry this fall.
Xie Rongyin is the eldest daughter of Zhongguo Gong and the first daughter to marry, so the day of marriage can really be described as ten miles of red makeup, and thousands of empty alleys. Huainan Hou Sun Maoqi is also a handsome young man, sitting on horseback, wearing a red wedding dress all the way to greet his relatives, attracting pedestrians on both sides of the street to stop and watch.
Wisteria didn't join in the fun, the matter of that day didn't happen because Xie Fang made such a fuss, she was so anxious that she turned around, I didn't know if Zirui was good, and I didn't know if the child was good, but I learned from Ruoxiang's mouth that it was a boy of more than six catties, and I was relieved. It's not that she is patriarchal, it's just that in such a feudal society, it is better to have a son than a daughter for the first child. Not everyone is as blessed as the Qin family, the sister-in-law above gave birth to three sons in a row, but her mother-in-law likes her daughter.
Because it is Xie Rong's marriage today, Xie Fang naturally wants to accompany those young ladies who came to congratulate him. As a wisteria, it is not enough to follow to serve among the nobles, naturally accompanied by Dongwen and Jiao Xing, Xie Fang is no longer happy, and the old lady still does it with a word. Mother Liu saw that she had been around Xie Fang since the accident of the second miss, and she was doing her best to serve, and Xie Fang was obviously getting better and better, and she had slowly recovered to her original appearance, and she was not disgusted with her marriage with the second son of Yunjun. So today, I gave Wisteria a day off and asked her to see Asteria.
Cai'er pulled the placket of her clothes and looked at the wisteria beautifully about to go out, she couldn't leave because she was in the big kitchen, and there were so many people like this.
"Don't just eat for yourself, remember to bring me red eggs, and that powdered meat, and ......"
"Okay, okay, you see that you are staying in the kitchen, why do you still want to eat and drink so much." Wisteria reached out to pinch Cai'er's little nose.
"Sister Cai'er, sister-in-law Hong called you!" The mountain spirit said beside him.
"Let's go, don't get down to business." Wisteria waved his hand towards the small corner door.
"Where are you going home?" Mrs. Lu said with a smile on her face while helping her open the door diligently.
Wisteria looked at the juan flower on her head, and couldn't help but think of the joke Cai'er said. After the second young grandmother entered the door, she rewarded one to every errand in the house, but the material is different according to the level.
"Well, go see my sister, she gave birth to a big fat boy the other day." Wisteria replied with a smile.
"Oh, it's so good that Zirui is born, I'll just say it's a blessing." After saying that, he touched himself. Wisteria pressed her hand, "What does Mother Lu do, my sister is not inferior to you, but I will definitely convey your wishes." ”
Seeing that Wisteria saw what she thought, Lu Pozi blushed and said, "I really don't have anything to get my hands on, wait until the little dog gets a reward this time, and let him buy candy for his little nephew." ”
Today, Xie Rong got married, and the Zhongguo Mansion carried two baskets of copper coins early in the morning and stood at the door of the main street to scatter money, and the little dog had already gone to join in the fun.
Wisteria went out of the corner gate and turned around the house where the housekeepers lived and walked back again, but it was shorter than the previous one, but it was also white walls and black tiles, and it looked neat and clean. Walking to the third house, there was a wooden sign hanging on it, only the word "forest" was written, and Wisteria raised his hand to fasten the door.
It was the Qin family who came out, and Gu Hai's youngest son tilted his head and saw that it was wisteria behind the Qin family, so he stretched out his little hand and looked for his aunt indistinctly.
Wisteria handed the small bag in his hand to Qin's and picked up the child, and kissed him on the face, making the little guy giggle.
"Wisteria is here, Sister Zirui has been talking to you several times!" Jiao Hong was dressed in a coarse cloth dress, her hair was pulled back casually, and she carried a basin of children's clothes.
"Jiaohong, you put it there, I'll wash this" Qin Shi saw that she seemed to be helping to wash diapers and other things, so he hurriedly went to pick it up.
"Oh, I'll come, second sister-in-law take wisteria in." After speaking, he turned around and entered the small side room by the kitchen.
"That's it, there's not a moment of idleness, don't let her do it or listen to it." Jiao Hong was picked up by Yu's mother on the night after saying those words to Wisteria, after all, Zirui and her in-laws live together, although the second elder does not come back often in the house, but Jiao Hong is the big girl next to the second lady, and it is inevitable that there will be rumors after a long time.
Wisteria is also impatient, in fact, it is better to find something to do than to stay. The Lin family's yard is not big, and it is also a second-in. But it is more spacious than the one rented by Yu's mother, boxy, and the layout is reasonable.
Lin Qing has two brothers and two sisters, both of whom are married. Therefore, the parents live in the upper room, the eldest of the Lin family lives in the east wing, and the two of them live in the west. Brother Lin Qing has been walking around several Zhuangzi and shops in Zhongguo for many years, and he is a very capable steward around the last son, and this review river followed him out. And Sister-in-law Lin was on an errand in the old lady's kitchen, and she came back less often.
Lin Qing's father has become a second-class steward, although he is in charge of miscellaneous and miscellaneous things, he is the second-class steward of the Guogong Mansion, so he also has a separate residence in the mansion, and the two grandsons follow his grandfather and grandmother. Therefore, this house is generally lived in by Lin Qing and Zirui.
It stands to reason that Lin Qingniang and sister-in-law should be here today, but because Xie Rong got married, the two of them really couldn't come back, and since Zirui gave birth, Yu's mother came to wait. Today I knew that Wisteria was coming, and Qin and Jiao Hong also came over early in the morning.
Wisteria entered the house, a room of baby's milk fragrance came to the face, Qin's daughter was lying on the side of the small collapse and sleeping soundly, Zirui was lying on the bed, next to the small swaddling clothes, Yu's mother bowed her head and said something to Zirui.
Hearing the movement, Yu's mother turned around and saw that it was wisteria, and she was very happy. Zirui also owes herself to pull the wisteria. Wisteria hurriedly walked a few steps to the bedside, leaned down and gave Zirui a big hug.
"This child, your sister has only been born for a few days, so you can't push too hard." Yu's mother said with a smile.
"I know what matters." Wisteria said as she went to look at the baby in the swaddling clothes, a small face wrinkled, like a little monkey, with closed eyes, no eye hair at all.
"This kid must be no worse, you see how long his eyeliner is, and his mouth is good-looking, like your sister." Yu's mother leaned over and said.
Wisteria pouted in his heart, the little thing that was only a few days old, where could he see it.
Although Zirui had just given birth, she looked good, and asked a lot of things in the house. Yu's mother saw that she was a little tired, so she pulled the wisteria out.
The two walked into the courtyard and sat on a stone table under the trellis. "Then the second young lady still can't leave you for a moment?"
"It's not like it was at the beginning, but I have to go several times a day."
"Do you still tell stories?" At this time, Jiao Hong came over with a plate of grapes, placed it on the stone table, and sat down.
"I don't talk much about it, but I like to talk to me, and you have to ask me if you can't make up your mind. Just like today, the eldest lady went out of the cabinet, and the second lady chose four clothes, and they were about to fall asleep and called me over, because I didn't know which one to wear first, Liu's mother and Dongwen's Jianyì She didn't listen, and then I chose a pink one for her, but she agreed. In fact, it was also chosen for her by Liu's mother first. ”
"Looking at it this way, wisteria is not easy to come out." Jiao Hong answered.
"What do you mean?" Wisteria raised her eyes to look at Yu's mother.
"Since Jiaohong's accident, your sister and I have planned to take you out early, even if you stay at home for two years and then find someone. In that kind of deep family, you do a hundred good things, but only one bad one will be gone. Yu's mother said as she glanced at Jiao Hong.
"This was mentioned by me and Yu's mother first. Wisteria, don't blame me for being too talkative. It can be seen that you are not thinking about climbing up like Qiu Xiang and Shui Cress, and it is not like Yuan Yue, because the old lady has arranged early in the morning to go to make a room for the second young lady's husband and son-in-law. Coupled with my accident, I suggested that my mother still let you leave that place early, even if it was good for Xiangcai'er to go to the big kitchen to find an errand. ”
"What? Is Yue staying with the second lady as a room? Wisteria couldn't believe it, and after thinking about it carefully, Yuan Yue had been fighting or grabbing in the yard, and she was very beautiful, not the delicate beauty of Jiaohong, but the kind that was slightly charming.
"Wisteria, my mother thinks that Jiao Hong is right, I thought that you would be fifteen after the New Year, and there is just a reason to let you out. But I didn't expect you to fall into the eyes of the second lady at this time. Now that the second lady and the second young master of Yunjun are married, how can you really go to the palace with the marriage, I feel that my head is big just by listening to the people and things in the mansion, if you really go, how can you get out. Yu's mother stared at Wisteria nervously.
Wisteria was also stunned, she never thought that she could become Xie Fang's companion to go to Yunjun Palace. What she said to Ruoxiang that night, she didn't think about it, she was just naïve enough to save credit for herself, with the matter of Young Master Yue in front of her, plus Xie Fang's matter, thinking that it should not be a big deal to be cheeky and ask for some rewards when the time comes, and then redeem herself.
That's right, now looking at Xie Fang's dependence on herself, what if she really wants to let herself marry in the past? It's a question you have to think about.
As the three of them were talking, they saw Qin Shi unzip his apron and walk out, "Mother, I'll go and get back the two dishes I ordered in the front shop." ”
As he was talking, the cry of Qin's daughter waking up came from the house, and Qin's face was embarrassed.
"Second sister-in-law, where did you order it, I'll pick it up, you go and see Niuniu." Yu's mother must give her granddaughter the name Niuniu.
The Qin family didn't dare to decide, so he went to see his mother-in-law, "Tell her to go, it's the shop of the old Chen family in front, your sister specially asked your brother-in-law to order a powdered meat and a crispy duck when he went out in the morning." ”
Lao Chen's shop, Wisteria, knew that it was only separated from Ruoxiang's house by a few doors, and because it was next to it, he built a shed to make some dishes that he worked hard to make at home.
Wisteria took the silver given by her mother, picked up the little blue and went out. As he walked, he was thinking about what Yu's mother and Jiaohong had just said. If the second lady really named herself to marry, the old lady and the Tan family had no reason not to agree, but as Jiao Hong said, it was not so easy to leave after entering the door of the county king's mansion.
After thinking about it, the second miss is gradually getting better now, and besides, she has to wait until Xie Fang is sixteen years old before getting married, then there are still more than two years, maybe Xie Fang won't need herself by then. If she wants to come out now at the request of her mother and let her find someone for herself, she will never accept it, so it is better to stay with the second lady to be safer.
Unconsciously, the wisteria went out of the alley, and the left turned to the other alley where the old Chen's house was, and the old Chen's shop was at the end. Wisteria carried the blue seeds, looked at the green leaves that occasionally poked out of the white wall, and took a deep breath, this ancient air is really good.
At this moment, he heard a rush of footsteps behind him, and a man ran past him, and Wisteria felt like he was about to be carried down by the wind he ran past. Before she could react, the person in front suddenly turned around, looked at her twice, turned around, pulled her up to the corner of a house, took off her coat and stuffed it into the little blue carried by Wisteria, and pressed her against the wall, pressing Wisteria's mouth with one hand, and looking back with restless eyes.
Wisteria looked at the man in front of him with a frightened look on his face with a pair of eyes, he didn't know where he had gone, his face was gray, and he could only see a pair of big clear eyes, and Wisteria only felt that his mind was blank.
"Don't talk, I promise not to hurt you, just for a while, you promise me, I'll let go of my hand." The young man said in a loud voice.
Wisteria nodded mechanically, and the young man slowly let go of his hand, and when he saw that Wisteria really didn't speak, he gasped softly. At this time, he saw three people dressed in uniform appear in the alley, and the young man hurriedly buried his head in the neck socket of Wisteria and was still arching vigorously.
Mother, if Wisteria has a knife in her hand now, she will definitely stab this guy, what does this take her, she was an obedient girl in her past life and this life. Looking at the three of them looking at the two of them as if they were out on a date, Wisteria greeted the boy's mother in her heart.
The three men glanced this way, then turned and continued to run. The young man waited for the three to run away, and hurriedly stood up straight, took out his coat from the blue of the wisteria, and said as he put it on his body,
"I'm sorry, things are a bit urgent, if you need my help in the future, just go to the old Wang's house in the south of the city to find Xiao Er." After saying that, he glanced at the wisteria again, turned around and left.
"Hey, Wang Xiaoer, you stop." Wisteria shouted from behind, and the boy looked back at her, waiting for her to speak. Wisteria bent down and picked up a small pebble in the ground and threw it hard, "You bastard." With that, he turned around and ran away.
