Chapter 47 Marriage
"What did you say?" Xu put down the jade comb in his hand and turned his head to look at Mama Xu.
"Third Master Yue not only praised the wisteria, but also rewarded her with a jade ring on her belt." Mama Xu took Xu's comb and helped her comb it slowly.
"But it's all turquoise, with a dark green veil on it?" Xie Zhong walked out of the bathroom, only wearing a long shirt over his underwear, his hair tucked back behind his head, and dripping with water.
Baoping followed behind, holding a large towel in his hand to wipe his hair, Xie Zhong waved his hand. Xu Shi took it and motioned for Xie Zhong to sit down, and he stood behind his husband and gently wiped it one by one.
"Yes, the old slave looks at the piece that Yue Sanye is used to." Mama Xu put down the comb, Xu nodded at her, and retreated.
"Haha, this is light, it's really worthy of his words, I haven't seen him care about anything. So why did a valuable jade ring reward a girl? ”
Xie Zhong wiped his hair with Xu, picked up a book and read it.
"That's not what the concubine thinks." Xu said softly behind him.
"Oh~" Xie Zhong put down the book and made a deaf look.
"Third Master Yue grew up with you, since we got married, I have met a few times from the concubine and from your mouth, his indifference is really indifferent to not daring to be interested in anything. He rewarded the jade ring to the wisteria today, if it was really unintentional, he could not reward it at all, or reward some silver taels, but he deliberately untied the jade ring he was accustomed to wearing around his waist and rewarded it again, which happened to show that he was attentive. ”
Xie Zhong turned his head to look at Xu, "You mean, Dan Zhi is interested in this girl?" ”
Xu Shi stopped what he was doing, "This concubine doesn't dare to say, but Wisteria must have caught his attention somewhere." If you call Banrong to ask tomorrow, he has been coming in with Third Master Yue, and he should know clearly. ”
"When you say this, I think about it, and I want to talk back to me several times after a while, because the guests return home one after another, I don't care about it, maybe it's a trivial matter." With that, he turned away again. Banxiang laughed, "If you really like this girl, go and talk to Sister Fang, and send it." I've been with Danzhi for so many years, and I've never seen him fall in love with any woman. ”
Xu then wiped Xie Zhong's hair again, but he had a completely different idea from Xie Zhong in his heart.
Three days later, Zirui and Wisteria went out of the corner gate of the Chungkook Mansion together. Gu Hai and his six-year-old eldest son had already pulled the carriage in the shop and waited at the corner gate. When he saw his two younger sisters come out, he happily opened the curtain and let them in.
Wisteria saw Gu Hai twice, once not long after entering Beijing, Zirui took her to the shop. The second time was when Gu Hai's daughter-in-law gave birth to her third child, she also went with Zirui. Gu Hai does not have Gu He's cleverness, with a sense of simplicity and honesty.
About half an hour later, I arrived at the tea shop in the west of the city of Chungkook's mansion. Gu Hai used to be a third-class shopkeeper, although he was a third-class shopkeeper, it was actually equivalent to a miscellaneous shopkeeper, and the first two months the shopkeeper was transferred to another place on an errand, and he was promoted to the second class.
The door of the shop is not big or small, and the inside is clean and elegant. Wisteria: They bypassed the main entrance and entered the courtyard through the back door of the shop. After getting out of the car, Gu Hai's daughter-in-law waited at the door early, and when she heard the sound of wheels, she opened the door.
Before the wisteria car could stop, he jumped down first, and when he ran into the door, he saw Yu's mother smiling, supported by Gu He's daughter-in-law, standing under the eaves and smiling at her.
"Mother" Wisteria plunged into Yu's mother's arms, Yu's mother was infected by Wisteria's love, and tears came out all of a sudden, hugging Wisteria and touching her back. When he looked up, he saw Zirui coming with a small burden, and stretched out his hand. Zirui also took two quick steps, held Yu's mother's hand, and tears flowed down.
"What's the matter, today is a happy day, I am so happy that I don't know what to say." Gu Hai's daughter-in-law is not like Gu He's daughter-in-law, she is a neat-tongued person, and she stepped forward and quipped when she saw this.
"That's it, that's it, I'm happy today, don't cry, go, go into the house." Yu's mother went to the back room with one in her arms.
"Sister Wisteria, when you see your mother and sister-in-law, don't you want my sister?" A voice came. Wisteria raised her eyes and saw that a little girl came out from behind Gu He, with a fat face, holding Gu Hai's second son in her arms, looking at her with a smile, who is it not Cai'er?
"Cai'er, why are you here?" Wisteria happily pulled Cai'er over and looked her up and down.
"Me, is it a long story?" While winking at the wisteria, he followed everyone into the house.
The room is simple and functional, and everyone sits around a large table in the middle of the floor, which is filled with all kinds of melons, fruits and snacks.
Yu's mother pulled Zirui and Wisteria to sit on one side, looked left and right, and saw that Wisteria had grown taller and more beautiful, and Zirui was getting more and more like she was going to get married, and couldn't help laughing.
"Maybe you're going back after dinner?" Gu Hai's daughter-in-law asked Zirui while pouring tea for everyone.
"Yes, Wisteria and I are on leave. I'm better, just talk to Liu's mother. Unexpectedly, Wisteria was a leave approved by Mrs. Shizi herself. ”
"But no, when I asked Mama Xu for leave, Mrs. Shizi heard it, and she nodded at the time, and asked Mama Xu to take the pastries made in the small kitchen in Shizi's garden for you to taste!" Wisteria said as he took the bag that Zi Rui was holding just now, and when he opened it, there was a box on top, and when he opened it, he saw a few delicate pastries.
Yu's mother ate a piece of wisteria's hand, and nodded incessantly, "Good boy, you are all good, please the master, and be a good errand." In fact, Wisteria also wondered why Mrs. Shizi suddenly asked her to bring pastries, but no matter what, she was very happy to see that her mother was very happy.
Gu Hai's daughter-in-law saw that the two sisters-in-law could stay and eat, so she was busy going to the kitchen to eat, Gu He's daughter-in-law wanted to follow, but Gu Hai's daughter-in-law held her down, and went out alone with a smile.
"Let your sister-in-law go, you are a person with a body now, the first three months are important, don't rush at this time." Gu He's daughter-in-law blushed and sat down again.
A shh It turned out that after the old lady left Zhuangzi, those temporarily transferred subordinates were sent back by Wu Wenxiu's family, which was also a short-term job. Yu's mother also recovered when she had nothing to do, so she discussed with her youngest son and told the steward that she was going to Beijing sooner or later to marry Zirui, and besides, she wanted to meet her little granddaughter, so it was better to come early.
So Gu He went to Wu Wenxiu's house once, took some food and a piece of material, and negotiated to ask for three months of leave, and Wu Wenxiu naturally agreed.
A few days before leaving, Cai'er's father and mother, who lived next door to Gu He, came to the door. It turned out that Cai'er had nothing to do when she returned home after the old lady left, and this time she heard that Gu He was going to take her mother and daughter-in-law to Beijing to marry Zirui, so she begged to take Cai'er into Beijing, thinking that she could go into the house to find an errand to do, and if it didn't work, she should let the girl open her eyes. Although next year will be the time when the Guogong Mansion is a triennial time in Zhuangzi is picking, Cai'er is not on duty in Zhuangzi, even if she is on duty, she offends Wu Wenxiu according to her own family, and she may not necessarily report her daughter.
So the family came to Beijing with Cai'er.
After the meal, Wisteria and Cai'er went into the small side room to talk privately. Yu's mother pulled Zirui into the inner room, sat on the bed and stopped talking.
Zirui stroked her hair, "Auntie, just say it, I can stand it." Mother Yu looked at her niece who was smart and icy and sighed.
"I thought it was you who got married after all, so I went to your house with your second brother a few days before I left. Tell your father and mother about it, and think if there is anything I can bring for you. Zirui looked disdainful when she heard this.
"Your father said that I should sue you for a good life, and your mother said that she probably thought that I was going to ask you for a dowry, saying that your eldest brother had ordered someone else, and the bride price money was not enough, and she wanted you to take back the bride price of the Lin family after you got married, so that it was worthy of the grace of raising over the years."
Zirui pinched the handkerchief in her hand fiercely, she knew that what the stepmother said must be very difficult to hear, and the aunt didn't want to make herself sad and only picked up the good ones. That's it, I still had a glimmer of hope, even if it was to bring a handkerchief or a piece of red cloth, forget it, I was planning to cut it in two, why bother with this.
Thinking of this, Zirui put on a happy expression, "It's okay, auntie, I want to get it, don't be sad for them, you won't look for them for me in the future, don't worry, I will live a good life, not for anything else, just for my mother to be at ease." ”
"Good boy, you're right." After speaking, he took out a small box from the bedside table and handed it to Zirui. Zirui seemed to have a premonition of something, and opened it with trembling hands, only to see two silver hairpins side by side inside, and there were small red gems on the hairpins, which were not very good in color and a little dark. There was a small red cloth underneath, and Zirui pulled out the cloth and opened it to see that it was a small belly pocket worn by a newborn baby, and a bunch of purple grapes were embroidered on it.
Zirui picked up her belly pocket and covered her eyes and cried, but Yu's mother didn't persuade her, so she took her voice by herself. He took the belly pocket from her hand and smoothed it out one by one.
"I still remember how your mother embroidered this belly pocket when she was pregnant with you, she was already weak, and she didn't stand up for two children before you, so she didn't dare to let her do anything since she was pregnant with you, but she must embroider a belly pocket for you to wear. Zirui, cry all your tears today, don't let yourself cry anymore from next month, live a good life with Lin Qing, it's a good thing, the day before yesterday, I went to meet me outside the city with your eldest brother. You have to remember that when you are well, your mother can feel at ease. ”
On a sunny day after Wisteria came to this other world and ushered in the first snow, Zirui became the wife of the Lin family in a red wedding dress.
