Chapter 26 Flesh and bones
Feng asked Mrs. Yu and Aunt Li to rest for a while, and then there was a banquet for them to pick up the wind and wash the dust. Although Mrs. Yu said that she still paid attention to rest along the way, after all, the road was far away and she was old, and her face was already a little tired after socializing for a while when she arrived at the Jin Mansion.
Feng personally took Mrs. Yu to the East Cross Courtyard, settled her mother-in-law and rushed to the Autumn Frost Pavilion in the northwest corner. Aunt Leigh only brought two girls, and the four of them, mother and son, were packing their belongings together.
The elder sister first sorted out the personal valuables, and let the slave and maid do the rest. Feng brought two big girls, four little girls, and two grandmothers over, and they worked as errands in Qiushuang Pavilion in the future, this is a deed of sale! As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Aunt Li, and the faces of several slaves and maids changed when they saw this.
Whoever is a slave is in the hands of the deed of sale, who is their master, their reborn parents. Now that the deed of sale is in the hands of Aunt Leigh, their life and death are in the hands of Aunt Leigh, and they can only wait with their hearts.
How does this work? Besides, I used to do it at home, and I was suddenly a little unaccustomed to having so many slaves and maids around me. Aunt Li is busy shirking, besides, I have been dragging you down when I move in, and it is inevitable that gossip will be spread in the long run, and the relationship with our relatives will hurt. I think the courtyard is in a very good location, with direct access to the street, and a small gate separating it from you. I take my brothers and sisters to live as usual, and I am responsible for all expenses, which is the long-term way.
Seeing that there was no one else in the house, Feng grabbed her hand and said with tears in his eyes: When we were at home, our sisters had the best relationship. Later, I got married before and after, and although I couldn't see each other all the time like at home, my heart was still the same as before. I think you knew that I had difficulty giving birth, so I changed folk remedies for me, and finally conceived Brother Han and gave birth safely. Without my sister, how can I have the scenery I have today? There are no outsiders here, I might as well speak openly and brightly, I just want to share the glory and wealth with my sister! A few slaves and maids are nothing, and I will take care of them wherever I can. I know your concerns, but it's okay, and every month I'll have my confidants bring you money. Externally, let's just say that it is your family's own expenses.
This...... It's inevitable that you'll be too much of a bank. Aunt Li had some dowries when she got married, but over the years, the family has also been scattered. The rest of the money, she wants to keep it to marry her daughter-in-law and marry a girl, if she doesn't usually have to spend her own expenses, she can save zĂ i money to get interest! She decided to come to the capital, on the one hand, for the girls to marry a good family, on the other hand, for Brother Yu to participate in the Spring Festival, with her brother-in-law in the court to dredge up, and the other point is that she can be taken care of by the Feng family, and she can live a good life in the autumn breeze.
You don't know the situation in our family, and you let your siblings and sisters not subsidize it, but let them take advantage of it! When Feng came in, he saw several cages in the outhouse, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Thinking that back then, there were more than ten boxes of their sisters' dowries alone, and it seemed that the toss was almost over, and I don't know if those shops and fields were sold or long gone.
Aunt Li was no longer polite, thinking of the same sister at the beginning, and now she is actually dependent on her sister to live, tears can't help but fall.
Sister, don't do this, the children are still outside, so they will be cranky when they see it. Feng hurriedly persuaded, I know the sourness in my sister's heart, but this life has to look at the long run. Brother Yu alone has a bright future, and your blessings are behind. Maybe, I'll have to rely on my sister to help me in the future.
It's an exaggeration, but it's a lot more comforting to me. Aunt Li burst into tears and laughed, indeed, she had great expectations for Brother Yu.
The two sisters have a lot of things to say, but fortunately, the days are long, and there will be time to say them slowly in the future.
Old Lady Yu was also talking, she was lying on the Luohan bed with her eyes closed, and Mama Lu was standing beside her. She occasionally said a word, and Mama Lu responded.
You have been waiting by my side for half your life, and now you are in your forties, and you can't accept old age. You also lie down, let's talk slowly and sleep for a while. Only when their master and servant were present, Mrs. Yu didn't pay much attention to the rules.
Mama Lu sat on the couch opposite her, her legs flat on it, quite relieved.
The slave is really useless, and she is sore without doing anything.
The room is open from north to south, and the windows are ajar, and the breeze blows in very comfortably. Mrs. Yu was speechless for a long time, as if she was asleep.
Suddenly, she came out again, four girls, which was not quite the same as what they said.
The slave maid looked at the four girls who were thin and weak, and spoke softly and softly, which made people feel a little pity. Mama Lu has been by the master's side for so long, even if it is an old lady's eyes or a casual movement, she can understand what the old lady means.
She glanced at the old lady's face, and then said: The fourth girl has lived in Zhuangzi for a year, and she has suffered some hardships in the future, so she has learned wiser in the end.
The big girl is dignified and generous, she has the demeanor of a housewife at a young age, and the Feng family has a good upbringing. The second girl is virtuous and virtuous, and the third girl is lively and innocent, as long as they are willing to keep their duties, they should have a good home. Four girls...... The old lady paused, the heavenly court is full, it is a blessing!
What is the conclusion of this? Mama Lu, who has always been able to understand the old lady's temper, is also a little puzzled. Does the old lady like or dislike the four girls, or does it matter?
After a while, she heard the old lady say again: Don't pay attention to the girl sent by the Feng family, I want to see what she wants to do? If she had been smart, she wouldn't have tried to put someone around me.
Maybe it's just that we don't have enough manpower, so we're just going to do the work.
Well, for the best. Mrs. Yu rolled over, and then was speechless.
After another half an hour, Mama Lu heard her breathing evenly, and made sure that she was asleep, so she closed her eyes and took a nap.
The elders are resting, but the juniors of Yuyi are full of energy. They mingled to talk, drink tea, eat snacks, and give each other gifts. The left and right are just children's stuff, just for fun.
Brother Yu only said a few words of greeting, and then went back to study. They were all little girls, and the atmosphere was more harmonious when he was not there.
He walked out of the Spring Garden alone, and Xia He caught a glimpse of it and hesitated a little and turned around and chased him out.
