Chapter 64 Heart disease
The horse matchmaker has a lotus tongue and can say that the dead are alive. She said that as long as the second young master of the merchant finds a suitable girl Chongxi, not only will his body be good, but also the two of them will be white-headed and will love him for a hundred years. The merchant also specially guaranteed that he would introduce a celebrity to Brother Yu, which would definitely help Brother Yu to take the big exam. It was these words that made Aunt Leigh hesitate again.
Mrs. Leigh will think about it for a few days, and I will hear back the day after tomorrow. Mrs. Ma said with a smile that there are not a few people who want to climb the big tree of the merchant, but the merchant has set the girl of the Zunfu as the first choice. It's urgent, if it weren't for my reputation, I guess I would have found other matchmakers to inquire about others. I ran one after another, just to see that this was a good marriage. As the saying goes, it is better to demolish a temple than destroy a marriage, and protecting the media is a matter of accumulating yin and virtue. I don't have to worry about food and clothing in my life, and I have been working so hard to accumulate blessings for my children and grandchildren. If I do this, I'll be a hundred pairs!
Aunt Li naturally understood what she meant by this call, and other businesses did not have to wait, and there were many people scrambling to wait. If Aunt Leigh is unwilling, someone will come up immediately.
Aunt Li went to ask Feng's opinion again, and when she heard what she said before, she still couldn't make a decision. Aunt Leigh really didn't have anyone to talk to, so she had to disturb her son, who had been studying hard.
Brother Yu studied in the house day and night, and his ears did not hear what was going on outside the window. He had no idea what had happened to his two sisters recently, and Aunt Leigh was writing a book when he entered the house.
My son is really hard, can my body eat? Aunt Li couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw this.
Brother Yu put down the pen in his hand and replied to his mother: Reading is not hard, but I just read like this every day and make articles, but I don't know if I have grown. If someone can click on it, it should be a big benefit.
How is Mr. Pei Wenzheng? Aunt Leigh asked when she heard her son's words.
Brother Yu was stunned when he heard this name, and then his face was full of ecstasy, and he couldn't wait to ask: What does my mother mean by this? Is it possible to meet Mr. Pei?
I have this opportunity, but it's just ...... Aunt Lee hesitated for a moment and told the merchant about the marriage proposal.
Brother Yu'er listened to the joy on his face gradually faded and became solemn, this family business must not be agreed!
Why did my son say that? Aunt Li saw that he had no room to turn around, and her tone was resolute, and she felt a little strange in her heart. If it is really as the matchmaker said, then the second young master of the merchant does not have to worry about his life, but his body is weak and needs to be rushed, so he can get married. What are you afraid of, and you don't have to do any work, the girls and mothers-in-law are waiting in a large group, and they are stretched out when they come to eat. Moreover, the most important thing that merchants lack is medicinal materials, which are raised with old ginseng soup every day, and they can be dragged back even if they enter the ghost gate!
It's just that the weakness brought by the second young master Shang in the womb is probably useless for childbirth. If you want to open a little, this is not Wanruo's fault, and the business can only feel more and more guilty and be more and more good to Wanruo. After a year or two, one will be inherited from the family, and it is no different from my own birth!
Aunt Li was actually very thoughtful, she was vaguely tempted, if Brother Yu'er's attitude at this time was a little inclined to agree, this matter would be settled.
Mother think about it, what kind of family is the business, and what kind of family background are we? It's simply one in the sky, one on the ground, no matter how low the door is, it can't be as low as our Cheng dรน. Besides, the merchant is in the medicinal herb business, and I am afraid that the second young master of the merchant has eaten ginseng and deer antler velvet as snacks over the years. But even if it's made up like this, it still can't escape being in bed, so what kind of fierce medicine can you use? Chongxi is the last glimmer of hope they hold, that is, the meaning of resignation to fate, is it possible that the mother asked the second sister to marry and prepare to be widowed? Just imagine, the second sister married and had no children and no daughters, her husband died early, and the concubines around her were all high-ranking families and couldn't speak. Because of Chongxi's failure, he had to bear the infamy of Kefu, and he was not liked by his in-laws. How will she spend the rest of her life? Didn't that push her alive into the fire pit?
Is Second Young Master Shang's body like this? Aunt Li didn't expect it to be so bad, but after listening to her son's words, she woke up a little like a dream.
Mothers must not be confused just by seeing the benefits! Brother Yu said again and again, although his son needs the guidance of a great Confucian celebrity like Mr. Pei, but if he exchanges the lifelong happiness of his second sister, his son would rather not! When his father dies young, the son is supposed to take care of his mother and sisters. It's just that I've been busy studying, but I neglected to let my mother worry about everything. The mother doesn't have to worry, if she waits for a while, the son will definitely make the mother angry, and there is no need to talk to others.
I take my son's word for it! Aunt Li nodded heavily, completely dispelling the idea of marrying the merchant.
Without waiting for Mrs. Ma to come to the door, she sent someone to deliver a reply. When Mrs. Ma heard this, she immediately replied to the merchant, and within three days, the news spread. The second young master of the merchant was actually engaged, and he gave several large boxes of gifts alone, and I heard that there were 10,000 taels of silver. The other party is a little-known girl, her uncle is a five-grade idle job, and the family is still rich and noble with the help of Zuyin. I heard that this girl was born from a concubine, but because her father fell to death on a horse on the day she was born, she was sent to the countryside to support her by the clan. Now that the merchant released the news that he was looking for the girl whose father died early, she was remembered by her family.
The merchant was afraid that the second young master would not be able to wait, so he immediately set a wedding date. On the day of the bridal ceremony, almost all the people in the city came out to see the excitement. The big camphor wood box, carried by four big men, was tied with a red ribbon in the shape of a big red flower. Coming out of the east of the city, circling around the city wall, this side has reached the west gate, and the other side is still circling at the gate of the merchant house. I heard that the dowry is very rich, in addition to the common cakes, tobacco and wine, seafood, fish and meat, rice grain, cloth, tea, jewelry, etc., there are also boxes of white flowers and silver. The most astonishing thing is that there are also the deed of the three-in-three-out single-family house on East Street, two shops in the most prosperous area of Central Street, and a large grange in the suburbs, and there are hundreds of acres of fields around it alone.
Although the bride will bring it back with the dowry when the bride is married, it is the bride's personal belongings. In other words, even if the second young master of Shang dies and the bride remarries in the future, these things can be taken away. The merchant is really generous this time, and many people joke that they have not given birth to such a good girl in their family, and they can't enjoy the monstrous wealth.
The wedding period also picked a recent auspicious day, and the merchant held a feast and invited a three-day flowing water banquet. Whether you recognize it or not, whether you give a congratulatory gift or not, as long as you dress neatly and look like a human entering the door to congratulate you, you can have a meal. All of a sudden, the threshold of merchants was flattened. One is greedy for cheap, and the other is to see the grand scene of the business doing happy events. Unfortunately, the ceremony was held at an auspicious time, and only immediate family members participated. The groom was not in good health, so his cousin took care of the church, and he sent the bride to the cave room to complete the work.
The merchant really did what he said, and after the bride returned to the door three days, the little couple moved out and lived alone. said that they moved away together, but in fact, it was just the bride moving the place alone, and the second young master Shang had been recuperating in the house in Ma'er Hutong.
Everyone is watching, but after half a month of marriage, there has been no movement from the business. It seemed that the second young master was not worried about his life, and everyone was vaguely disappointed and a little jealous, and Aunt Eli was especially strict. Knowing that the second young master Shang was fine, he should have promised to marry him, and a good marriage would be gone. Aunt Li regretted and regretted in her heart, and when she thought of her son's future, she fell ill. Feng Shi was busy asking for medicine, and the two sisters, Wanruo and Wanrou, were waiting in front of the bed.
Yuyi and others came to visit, and naturally understood where the root of Aunt Li's illness was. It's just that they are all girls' families, and besides, they are a sore spot for others, how can they mention it? They only picked up some interesting things and said that there was more laughter and laughter in the house, which comforted Aunt Leigh a lot.
Youyi's illness has not been good, and she still feels weak and dizzy after drinking bitter medicine every day, and she is even uncomfortable sitting these days. However, she still sent Qiuyue to Qunfang Pavilion and saw Aunt Li to confess first.
The fourth girl is very thoughtful, can I, as an aunt, still pick a patient? You go back and tell the four girls, let her rest and don't worry too much, it won't help your body. When I get better, I will take my sister to see her, and then the sisters will talk and laugh together! Aunt Li said a lot of comforting words, and asked Qiuyue to bring back some snacks to taste.
Aunt Leigh was sick and had a dull mouth, as if she had cooked the flavor of her hometown herself. The ingredients are all cheap, and the recipe is not complicated, the key is the taste. After I finished it, I sent some to the old lady first, and then filled a plate for the Feng family, and I didn't send it to the girls anymore because of the little left. But Yuyi and Brother Han are always on the Feng family's side, how can they not taste it? In the end, only a few girls from the concubine couldn't eat it.
Now Youyi is also sick, so it makes sense to pretend to be some and take it back. Others didn't care, only Yun Yi complained about the boss in private, and Aunt Yun couldn't help but persuade her.
My biological mother is an aunt who is not favored and moths all day long, why do you want me to be strong? Yunyi didn't dare to climb Yuyi, although Xiuyi was older than her, she avoided everywhere, and it happened that Youyi came back from Zhuangzi, and there was an object to compare. At present, Aunt Li has fresh snacks there, and she is the only one among the concubines, which makes Yunyi scratch her heart.
She held back enough strength in her heart to suppress Youyi, even if she spoke, she had to have the upper hand. The partial birth of Youyi is like a change of sex, the original woodenness, timidity, and cowardice are all gone, and her speech is even more invisible, and even Yuyi, who has always acted and spoke thoughtfully, has suffered a few secret losses. The last time there was trouble in the kitchen, I saw that she was greatly wronged, but didn't my wife get rid of the sixth sister-in-law who had always trusted her because of this matter? Let's talk about Mama Liu a few days ago, she folded a nurse, but Mama Liu's loyalty was not on her, and she got back a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and even the old lady was extremely pitiful to her, and she won a big victory.
Aunt Yun waited for the Feng family since she was a child, and she knew the Feng family's temperament best, she saw Yun Yi with a calm face and said angrily: Girl, don't drill the horns of the cow, who is the person who looks down on the four girls the most in this mansion? No one is moving, but you can't hold back your temperament?
Mrs. has some skills, but in the end, she believes in the Buddha and has a good heart, and she will not kill her in everything. Yunyi's face showed a ruthless look, and there were signs of ruthlessness at a young age.
The girl is young and doesn't understand some of the doorways of the inner house. If the wife blindly suppresses it, making the aunt and concubine feel that there is no way to live, it will cause them to resist hard. At that time, the inner courtyard will become a pot of porridge, and Mrs. Yu's reputation will not be good. Mrs. draws a circle for you, as long as you don't go out of line, it doesn't hurt to toss and turn a little in it. But once you have other thoughts, don't blame your wife for being ruthless! I have been by my wife's side for almost 20 years, and I have always been able to live a leisurely life, but I don't dare to cross the thunder pond by half a step. Aunt Yun was afraid that she would make any moves, so she hurriedly comforted, and I watched coldly, our eldest girl is better than my wife, and because of her youth, her means are even more thunderous. As the eldest sister, how can she allow her sister to take away her style? You can rest assured, the four girls will be cleaned up, and the girls just need to wait and see.
My aunt still doesn't understand my heart. Naturally, I don't dare to compare with my big sister, but I am the first among the other sisters! In terms of appearance, heart, and talent, he has always been subordinate to his big sister. What do they compare with me, even my aunt is a level higher than them. Yunyi's words made Aunt Yun sigh, and sighed that her daughter had the wrong birth, if she was cast in his wife's belly, she would not be so wronged.
Seeing this, Yun Yi hurriedly said: Auntie, wait and see, the concubine may not be out of the way. The two sisters in the courtyard in the west, who are serious and serious, haven't they become a joke in the city? The merchant asked to marry and took Joe, and now he regrets it! It is said that the blessed man does not fall into the unblessed land, and if I say this, it must be the other way around, and the unblessed man will not fall into the blessed land!
Girl, don't be fooled by wealth, you only need a few dollars to live, you don't have to have a big business! We can't be considered a first-class rich in this house, so there are a lot of pickled things, and there may be a lot of trouble for those families. I just hope that the girl will find a small family, be a genuine lady, and teach her husband and son a dull life every day.
I don't agree with what my aunt said, Aunt Li is married to a small family, and in the end she has to rely on her wife. Their sisters were the same girls when they were at home, but because they married different people, the gap came out. The high door has the troubles of the high door, and the small door and small household have the difficulties of the small door, anyway, people can't always have smooth sailing in their lives. It's the same worry and effort, why don't you choose a rich one?
Yunyi's mouth has always been smart, but Aunt Yun can't say anything about her, but she is a little worried in her heart. Seeing that the girl who was born and raised is getting bigger and bigger, she gradually has her own opinions, and she is reluctant to listen to her verbosity. According to the rules, she is just an aunt who can't get on the stage, and she is not qualified to preach. But the girl who was conceived and gave birth to in October, can you not feel distressed and worried? If she doesn't preach, she won't worry, but she can talk too much, and she is afraid of annoying Yunyi, which is really difficult to grasp.
When the girl is older and has her own ideas, I won't say more. Aunt Yun thought about it and said, but there are many things in the house for a while, so the girl should be quiet. The fourth girl is just weak, but this medicine is not only not better, but it is getting heavier and heavier, which is really strange.
What does aunt mean...... Yunyi didn't dare to say the rest of the words, and felt that her heart was beating faster.
Who knows. Aunt Yun didn't dare to say it, she was shocked when she thought about it, the girl still didn't go to Dongyuan, so as not to be used as a scapegoat!
Yun Yi listened to this and nodded hurriedly. At the beginning, she only said that her wife's birthday was approaching, and she was busy embroidering a hundred longevity pictures, so she stayed in the room all day.
In a blink of an eye, Youyi has been taking medication for almost half a month, but it is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and she can't even get up in bed these days. Feng Shi was worried when he saw this, and changed several doctors one after another, and the prescriptions were carefully read, but there was no effect.
Aunt Cui kept watch in the Winter Garden all day, and only went back to sleep at night. She saw that Youyi's illness was a little strange, so she asked God to worship the Buddha, I don't know where to get some strange things, and for a while and water for Youyi to drink, and for a while the house was smoky and smelled strange.
Youyi looked at her with a really headache, she was pretending to be sick, but now she really has three points. Feng Shi didn't stop him when he saw it, he just tried whatever method he said, maybe what method would work. Aunt Cui was even happier when she heard this, and she came before dawn today.
Youyi was asleep, and the spring flowers outside at night were tired for half a night and didn't wake up. Aunt Cui was secretly happy when she saw this, and hurriedly slipped into the inner room. She found a brazier, placed it in front of Youyi's head, and pulled out a large stack of yellow paper and fire folds. She lit the fire, burning one by one, muttering something as she burned her mouth, as if it were some kind of incantation.
As soon as she tossed like this, Youyi naturally woke up. But when she opened her eyes, there was a beating fire in the darkness, and a miserable white face was above her head, and she was so frightened that she left her mind. Even if she had ever been a ghost, she had never seen such an ugly kind!
Ah~ Youyi shouted, and Chunhua jumped up from the couch when she heard it, and rushed in with the duster on the side.
Ghost~ She also screamed in fright, but she didn't forget to jump on the bed and protect Youyi behind her.
Don't shout, it's me! Aunt Cui hurriedly shouted, I am Aunt Cui!
Youyi saw that face clearly, Aunt Cui has been eating and sleeping restlessly these days, her face is naturally ugly, and she hasn't been groomed well in the morning, and the whole person is unkempt and a little sloppy. Qiuyue and Dongxue ran in from outside, holding brooms and other things in their hands, and they thought they were thieves.
It turned out to be an oolong, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but complained about Aunt Cui. If she is like this, I'm afraid that the girls in Dongyuan are about to go insane, not to mention the sick girls.
