Chapter 193: Words from the Heart
"That's not going to happen."
When Lu Shan heard this, he immediately shook his head: "It's easy to say anything else, but it's not okay to borrow money to buy a house." ”
"Our brother's lifelong friendship, how good did my brother say earlier, if you really want to do something, you just pick the door?" Yu Long looked at Lu Shan as if he didn't know him.
Lu Shan took a sip of tea: "Brother, it's not my brother's door, it's really my brother who doesn't want to spend money in vain, if you divide the family, it's easy to say, don't talk about borrowing money, my brother can buy you a house, but now that you haven't split up, who is it to buy a house?" Your sister-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp, what if she insists on tossing and saying that the house is hers? Besides, there are two more in your family, but I've heard that your two aunts are not good, and they have to make a lot of trouble for this. ”
His words made Yu Long's whole body deflated, and he collapsed in the chair for a while before he felt a little energetic: "What my brother said is also true, the mess of things at home has not been resolved, and what else do I say about buying a family business." ”
Lu Shan was not in a hurry, he drank tea with a smile, and after a long while, he pointed out a few words to Yu Long: "If you want me to say, you really don't have to rush to buy a house, the second girl of Qi is not about to get married, I had tea with Xiao Zhi a few days ago, and he also chatted with me a few words, saying that he was startled when he saw the dowry list of the second girl of Qi, I thought that there were many girls in the Qi family, and his family background was not very thick, and there should not be much of the second girl of Qi's dowry, but I didn't think that there were so many, not only the silver at the bottom of the box was given, but also the house shop Zhuangzi had some valuables, It is obvious that his family's dowry is less, and he is embarrassed here. ”
Yu Long also took a sip of tea: "What does this have to do with me?" ”
"You can't even see this when you say you're good, I really don't know what to say about you." Lu Shanrong glared at Yu Long angrily: "Since you have purchased so many things for the second girl of Qi, I think the same will be for those girls in the future, the dowry of the sixth girl of your family is not much worse, the Qi family will definitely accompany the house, no matter what it is, at least your little two are enough to live, it is really your daughter-in-law's dowry, even if the people of your family are confused, they will not dare to take it." When the time comes, you will live in the light, and it will not be better than you to buy a house. ”
Yu Long thought about it, and was happy: "That's what you said, anyway, I'm not one of those pedantic scholars." I don't have the idea of waiting to eat soft rice, yes, I really don't have to buy a house. ”
Lu Shan nodded: "You are good to survive money, if you feel that your father and mother are not having a good life in the future, you will send more things if you are filial." Send clothes to the color of the old-fashioned, can only be worn by your father and mother, your brother and sister-in-law can not wear, send food according to your father's taste, ask your sister-in-law to watch dry, just the same, don't send money, so that you show filial piety, and your heart is happy. ”
"Ahh As soon as Yu Long heard the music, the table horn sounded: "Brother Lu." I really didn't expect you to be so witty, it's really ...... You are five big and three thick, why do you have such a bright brain? ”
"Can't speak." Lu Shan put the tea bowl on the table when he heard this, so he looked angry: "Whoever said that if you are tall and strong, you must be stupid, you see that Qi Jing is not tall and big, and he is not the champion in the exam." ”
That's right, Yu Long choked, and he couldn't refute Lu Shan, and he didn't have the heart to refute it, so he was trying his best to steal fun at this time.
Yu Long was furious when he came to Lu's house. He was smiling as he left.
Out of the gate of the Lu family, Yu Long thought about Qi Bao Vase, and thought that there was a high possibility that there would be a house in the Qi Bao Vase's dowry for Qi Bao Vase, if this was the case. After getting married, he can move out of the house and live in his own house, and he doesn't have to see his sister-in-law's late face, nor do he have to hear his eldest aunt and second uncle's chatter, as well as his mother's complaints, which is beautiful in his heart.
Turning around, Yu Long went to the dim sum shop and weighed several good dim sum. I went to the dried fruit shop and weighed a few dried fruits, and when I ran into a peaches on the road, the peaches sold were big and red, and Yu Long looked good and directly wrapped the peaches.
After finding an idler on the street to help him, he picked up the things and sent them directly to the Qi family, and Yu Long took the remaining few fresh peaches and happily returned to the barracks.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of May, and it was the height of summer, and the weather was so hot that it could almost steam people.
During the day, a **** red sun hangs in the sky, the branches of the trees are listless, and the pedestrians are also listless, such weather is that those who have a bad life at home, and those who can't come out to set up stalls for their livelihood are still waiting in the shade on the street.
Yun Yao is busy with Qi Yinzhu's marriage every day, and the sweat of **** has soaked through her clothes, this summer is hotter than last year, and it hasn't rained for many days, unless she stays in the house, she will be dizzy when she goes out.
Her body is not very good, she has lost a lot of weight after a few busy days, and her whole little face is pale, Qi Jing saw that she was distressed, and saw that the Nancheng garden project was on the right track, the mountains in the garden had been piled up, and the road was almost paved, so she was about to plant trees and the like, so Qi Jing took leave from her sister's wedding to help at home.
In this way, Yun Yao can be regarded as more relaxed, and she also has time to rest in the house.
On this day, when it was time to give the dowry, since yesterday, many close people have come to add makeup, the Qi family has sent a lot of things, Princess Changle has also sent objects, the twelfth prince Han Xin has also sent some things, and many officials from the Ministry of Industry have also come to join in the fun.
Even Emperor Chengping remembered Qi Jing's merits, but also sent a jade ruyi and a red coral ornament.
When carrying the dowry, because there were not many people in the Xiao family, Xiao Zhi hired some idlers to help carry the dowry, early in the morning, the Xiao family's makeup bearer came to the door, Yun Yao asked someone to entertain him, Qi Jing embarrassed Xiao Zhi for a while, and took the red envelope, so he reluctantly asked someone to carry the dowry to the courtyard and asked the Xiao family to carry the makeup.
When the dowry was brought out, Rao is Xiao Zhi was prepared and dumbfounded.
It was really Qi Yinzhu's dowry that was unexpectedly large.
The idle man hired by the Xiao family to carry makeup also congratulated Xiao Zhi with a smile, only saying that Xiao Zhi had a good wife, and his father-in-law's family had a rich background, and he couldn't eat up the dowry he gave for a lifetime.
When the dowry was carried out of the Qi family and walked to the Xiao family, many people on the street opened their doors to see the excitement, and many big girls and little daughters-in-law looked at the dowry with hot eyes, and asked which girl this was. Not to mention the good name, you can also marry a handsome Jinshi master, and you can get such a dowry, you are simply a winner in life.
But I saw that the dowry did not know how much to lift. The first lift is the gold inlaid jade Ruyi given by the emperor, which means that the marriage between Xiao Zhi and Qi Yinzhu is a good relationship of gold and jade, and everything will be good in the future.
The second lift is a large red coral bonsai, symbolizing that the life of the two will be prosperous.
The third lift is a one-man tall marble base ebony shelf, with a fan inlaid with jade dots. The fourth lift is a striking clock with a mahogany carved crystal lid.
The fifth lift is a marble bottom red sandalwood shelf carved beauties eight screens, the sixth lift is a large wardrobe with six doors, the seventh lift is a very large chest of drawers, the eighth lift is eight big men carry a big bed made of yellow pear, the ninth lift is the table table of yellow pear, and the tenth lift is eight chairs......
In this way, by the thirtieth lift, there are all kinds of cloth and clothing, such as new clothes cut, bed nets, quilts, etc., and even needles and threads are included in the brain, so that there are as many as eighteen lifts.
By the fiftieth lift it was clod tiles. On behalf of the mother's family to accompany the land and property.
The last twenty lifts are all kinds of head jewelry and silver at the bottom of the box, and in the end, count the whole eighty lifts, don't say that the Qi family is a family born in the soil, that is, a high-ranking family in Chang'an City to marry a girl, and there is no such a rich dowry.
Master Xiao was also a little dumbfounded when he saw Qi Yinzhu's dowry, and he hated the small house he bought, and the front yard couldn't put these dowries, so he had no choice but to put some in the backyard.
However, he didn't look greedy, he was just happy for Xiao Zhi. knew that after marrying such a daughter-in-law, the family would not give Xiao Zhi a penny, and Xiao Zhi's life would not be bad.
Master Xiao patted Xiao Zhi's shoulder with tears in his eyes: "Second child, Dad...... Dad is finally relieved now, you have more vision than Dad. The daughter-in-law in the photo is better, better than the ones that your father showed you at home earlier, and in the future, your father will not give you any fingers to make people suspicious, you have a good life, and your mother will support you with your father. ”
Xiao Zhi was also very moved in his heart. Holding Master Xiao and nodding with a smile: "Dad, I save my province, if my father hadn't supported me all these years, he would always think about me, where would I have such a scenery today." ”
"Okay, okay." Master Xiao smiled with tears in his eyes, very satisfied: "My son has grown up." ”
After a while, Master Xiao looked at Xiao Zhi again: "Second brother, I know that you have opinions about your mother over the years, and you are not on good terms with her, and I won't say anything else, it's just the same, she is your mother-in-law in the end, and there is no place to be sorry for you, you ...... Don't be like her in the future, and don't hate her in your heart. ”
Xiao Zhi agreed, and helped Master Xiao sit down: "Dad, I know in my heart, although my mother has never loved me, sometimes she looks at me unpleasantly, and even wants to meddle in my marriage, but who calls me a concubine, she is also human nature, speaking of which, she has not harmed me, nor has she owed me, I naturally will not hate her." ”
Master Xiao became more and more satisfied, and wiped his tears: "You are now an official, and you will definitely have a bright future in the future...... Your brother is not very promising, but he is a filial person, and he has nothing dirty with you, you ...... I also worry about him for something, in the end, he is a brother. ”
Xiao Zhi didn't refute, and after a long time he sighed and finally agreed.
He held a cup of tea to Master Xiao, sat beside Master Xiao and said what had been in his heart for a long time.
"Dad, in the early years, when I was young, I hated my mother, and I didn't understand why my mother was different from my eldest brother, why she was so mean to me, and now that I'm older, I also understand, my mother is a wife, I am a concubine, I am born wrong, compared to other people's concubines, I am good."
Seeing that Master Xiao had something to say, Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "Dad, you told me to finish speaking." ”
Master Xiao's lips trembled twice, but he finally didn't make a sound.
Xiao Zhi continued: "Some of other people's concubines are not full of food and clothing, and they are scolded at night, although I am not loved by my mother at home, but I should have them, and the food and clothing are good, but there is no mother to take the silver to make up the post in private, this is also human nature, my mother has her own children, what to do to subsidize me, and then there is, I can study in peace, of course, because my father loves me, but if my mother is really that unreasonable, my father will love me again, but it is not as big as the ancestral etiquette, I am afraid that I will not be able to enter the school, The most important thing is that because of this, I will never hold a grudge against my mother in my life. ”
"What?" Old Man Xiao's beard trembled, and he was excited in his heart, he didn't expect Xiao Zhizhi to be so reasonable.
Xiao Zhi smiled bitterly: "I went to Chang'an last year, I met a student, he is also a concubine in the family, and he is also smart and clever, but after the examination in Xiucai, he went out and touched it, and he had no chance to participate in the scientific examination when he had a scar on his face, he told me that if the mother in the family was vicious, she would never ask the concubine to study, even if she read, she would use all kinds of methods to make you unable to take the scientific examination, I thought, my mother did not use such a means to deal with me, did not ruin my face and made me unable to enter the scientific examination in Chang'an, just for this reason, I can't hate her."
