Chapter 14: Family Affairs (II)

Mrs. Tai's hand is on the smooth black lacquered nanmu table, it is the pattern of pomegranate clusters and hundreds of children playing with babies, the He family has lasted for a hundred years, and now the children and grandchildren are on the side, and they can't live in the Jiujing Hutong, but also step by step.

"Tell me first, what do you like about the Huang family? In my eyes, Mrs. Huang's eyelids are a little shallow, and I don't like the way her girl acts, Mrs. Huang's maiden family is a salt merchant in Yangzhou, and her background is too low. Mrs. Tai said slowly, analyzing the women of the Huang family, but never mentioning Huang Xiaolang and Master Huang.

The second lady was a little disapproving, who can Mrs. Lin'an look like? I'm afraid that the queen mother in the palace can dislike her Fang family and Wu Wufu, and everyone is a child. But there was only a smile on his face and said: "It's weird, my mother's eyes are really poisonous, Huang Sanniang was raised by Mrs. Huang, and she learned a stinky problem, and yesterday she made us angry enough." ”

Mrs. Tai squinted, and at the dinner, Mother Zhang said everything in the carriage, Xingming provoked first, and when it came to the mouth of the second lady, it became the stinky problem of the Huang family's lady. The second daughter-in-law, Liu, was born in the Zhongshan Hou Mansion, and the side branch is out, so it is inevitable that her vision will be thinner, and she knows that she wants her daughter to marry low, so as to take advantage of her mother's family and not be bullied. But I didn't know that it was the good of the two surnames to get married, and getting married was like having a line to tie two strange families together.

"Now that they've all got their hands on it, what are you doing with it dragged together? Be careful not to marry or form an enmity. Mrs. Tai continued.

The second lady was speechless for a while, and Zhiwu said: "Xingming is married to Huang Xiaolang, the Huang family's lady will marry in a few years, Huang Xiaolang is the eldest son of the Huang family, and Xingming will be a clan woman as soon as he marries."

Marrying a clan woman in the past, presiding over the feed, and having the support of the He family, it is difficult to live a bad life. The second lady's focus is only on Xingming, and her only daughter is doing well, which is better than anything else.

Mrs. Tai didn't think so, smiled and took off the sandalwood Buddha beads strung on her wrist, slammed them on the case, and said: "Mrs. Huang looks like she is only in her early thirties, even Mrs. Huang is full of anger, she just had a dowry lawsuit with her mother's family a few days ago, who doesn't know in Dingjing?" Xingming boiled and boiled, and finally was able to preside over the feed, and my old woman couldn't see it when she touched it. ”

"You can never say that! You are the one who wants to live a long life! The second lady hurriedly said angrily, seeing that the old man even said such a thing, her heart was gray, and she estimated that the Fang family's family matter would not be successful.

There was some sadness on his face, he picked up the teacup and took two sips absentmindedly, the lintel of the He family was high enough, and the power of Lin'an was enough to Xuanhe, but their second room couldn't even stand the edge, these years were obedient, and there was such a rebellious lining in the third room, and the old lady was also happy to lift the second room. But now that the third room has seen it, he is willing to be low and small, how can the second room live

Xingming is difficult to marry, she knows in her heart, others don't look down on better people, let alone marry home to be a clan wife, almost everyone can't look down on herself, and the old lady can't pass the pass. Isn't it just right that the Huang family is like this, who doesn't have a few difficult masters, it's not up to them to see how they live.

Seeing that the second lady stopped talking, Mrs. Tai said, "A good wife and a husband have few troubles. Mrs. Huang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the merchant is nothing, but at such an old age, she still has a coin lawsuit with her mother's son and nephew, which is a little unclear, and the character of her parents can be seen from the Huang family's lady. If Huang Xiaolang hadn't been brought up by Mrs. Huang, it would be okay to say, I'm afraid it would have been inherited from the same lineage. ”

The second lady heard that Mrs. Tai showed signs of relenting, and involuntarily leaned forward, and said in a loud voice: "Huang Xiaolang was raised in front of Master Huang, Mrs. Huang was born in a famous family in Tai'an, and Xiao Langjun will be thirteen years old, and he is already a child and is studying in Guozijian. Old Man Huang is in the fifth grade, whether it is Yin Feng, or if he wants to take the exam, the future is not worried. ”

"Shade seal? What kind of position can their family provide? Within three generations of the scholar's family, no one has held a real position in the court, and the family is in decline. Mrs. Tai sneered mercilessly, glanced at the second daughter-in-law who had rekindled hope, and said, "You have set up a trip to Dingguo Temple, so let's go, just get stuck and donate next year's sesame oil money." When the time comes, call Huang Xiaolangjun and Mrs. Huang to come and say hello to me, and I'll take a good look. ”

The second lady listened to the front, a little drooping, and couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard the words, and hurriedly stood up and bowed.

"I just said that my daughter-in-law fell into the nest of blessings, and I was really right!" The second lady smiled and bent her eyes, and called Liu's mother outside the door repeatedly, while saying, "You must call Xingming to kowtow to grandmother!" Even the queen mother was exempted from Mrs. Tai's New Year's greeting, and now she has to run around for Xingming like this"

Mrs. Tai looked a little funny.

The eldest daughter-in-law is afraid of things, but she is loyal and gentle. The second daughter-in-law is shrewd and knowing, but the heirs are difficult, and she can't do well in front of her husband. In general, there is only He Xian's daughter-in-law, who grabs the front hall and backyard, and is a virtuous and capable housewife, and the old marquis is really worried about the third child.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Tai smiled slightly, pursed her lips, waved her hand at the second lady, and said, "If Huang Xiaolangjun is a dou who can't be supported, or Mrs. Huang is unreasonable, I still won't agree to this marriage." The He family does not have many heirs, and there are only two concubines in total, which are precious. ”

Liu's mother, who pushed the door in, heard this, and turned around and walked out while responding. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the two concubines, Mrs. Tai didn't count the third room to the He family

The second lady is now proud, and Mrs. He has asked about Xingming's marriage, and she is not afraid of marrying badly. It is the eyes of Mrs. Tai's own palm, and even the dowry can be richer.

Liu's mother turned around and walked through the verandah, the grass planted in the stone fence, under the smoke of the stove, the fragrance of the grass mixed with pine and dew, refreshing people's hearts.

Xingzhao in the warm pavilion lowered his head and supported the embroidered bandage to do needlework.

Xingming either picked up the teacup and put it down, or gathered together to see Xingzhao's needlework, or took the book "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" to see, looked up, it was Liu's mother who came, and couldn't help but light up his eyes, hurriedly got off the kang and embroidered his shoes, and asked repeatedly: "But grandmother let us go?" ”

Xingzhao raised his head, lightly rested the bandage in the embroidery cage, saw Liu's mother nodding with a smile, and hurriedly put on her shoes from the kang and went to the main hall with Xingming.

As soon as I entered, I saw the second lady standing in front of Mrs. Tai, with a beaming face, and it was not good to walk in light and dark, so I didn't have time to think more, so I heard the second lady smile and say: "In a few days, our family will go to Dingguo Temple to pray for blessings." Would it be good to let Xingming wipe your forehead? ”

Wipe the forehead, the workmanship is simple, it can be done in two days, and it is worn outside, others can see it at a glance. Whether the second lady is to show Xingming's craftsmanship or to show that Mrs. Tai is interested in Xingming, Mrs. Tai is willing to push the boat along the river.

Sure enough, Mrs. Tai said happily: "Okay, make a rabbit feather crane pattern, people want to tie their hair tightly when they are old, and look energetic." ”

The second lady laughed even more when she heard this, and looking at it from Xingzhao's angle, she could see Xingming hanging his head and his hands in his sleeves. Xingzhao sighed in his heart, what's wrong with the Huang family? At least you can live a stable life, and the years will be quiet.

The second lady pulled Xingming to salute in a proper manner, said goodbye, and walked out happily, Xingzhao went to send, and when she came back, she looked a little sullen.

Mrs. Tai leaned on the passionflower pattern Bafu cushion, looked at Xingzhao's eyebrows and eyes, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" Not happy to go to Dingguo Temple? ”

Xing Zhao exhaled a long breath, looked at Mrs. He who was sitting at the top, and smiled There were already a few wisps of lines in the corners of her eyes, just solve the previous matter first.

Xingzhao unexpectedly knelt on the felt carpet with a "poof".

"What are you doing, four girls! Knee pain carefully! Zhang's mother exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly came down to help, but was stopped by Mrs. Tai.

I only heard Mrs. Tai's deep order: "Everyone go out." Linglong, you stay, Lianyu stays. ”

Mrs. Tai is such a wise person, as soon as Xingzhao knelt down, she knew that she was going to tell the truth about the church.

The carved gourd Wanfu Nanmu Zhumen was closed, and for a time in the wing room, only four people were left, and the room was full of quiet.

Xingzhao was the first to speak in silence, the little lady's voice was still very crisp and soft, but she was still trying to be solemn and solemn: "At the hall meeting, the eldest princess Yingyi left for nearly an hour."
