Chapter Eighty-Six: Kindness
Later, Tang's mother pointed out to Hui Yu again: "Although the girl lives in the second room, the old slave has not had the grace of everyone in the second room during this time. But the big house barely has a rule. I don't know why the fourth master placed the girl in the second room that day, which is really not beneficial to the girl's future marriage or relying on her mother's family. ”
Hui Yu secretly slandered herself, I also know that the second room is not better than the long room, but it is important to save my life, if I go to the long room, according to the situation at the time, maybe I will find a reason to send myself to Zhuangzi, just like Aunt Yuan......
Hui Yu's eyes darkened, these secrets couldn't be said to Tang's mother, so she said, "What does that mother think should be done in the future?" ”
Mother Tang saw that Huiyu's expression flickered a little, knowing that she didn't tell her everything, but she didn't ask, but said: "Fortunately, the girl still goes to the long room every day to accompany the eldest and young grandmothers, but she has not gone far from the long room." But the eldest lady still needs to put in a little more effort, whether it is food or clothes, she always has to do something from time to time, so that the eldest lady can remember the girl's good ......."
To put it bluntly, Tang's mother's advice is to have a good relationship with her superiors. This is an even more immutable truth......
It's okay to eat, although it's easy to make, but if someone takes the opportunity to spoil it, it's not beautiful.
Although the clothes are troublesome, they are safe, and with Caiyun as a helper, it is no problem to make some forehead handkerchiefs, socks and the like.
Hui Yu nodded and said, "What Mom said is very true, but I was negligent. Why don't you make some clothes for your aunt in the future, what does your mother think? ”
Tang's mother said: "The girl can do what she can." ”
So, Hui Yu picked up the needle and thread again, and with the help of Caiyun, made clothes for Chang's. Every day, Hui Yu went to the clan study in the morning, accompanied the Dou family in the afternoon, and made clothes for the Chang family in the evening.
On this day, a beautiful invitation was delivered to Yurong Temple.
Huiyu opened it and saw that it was Li Bihua and Lu Li, and invited herself to participate. It was just two days later.
Emerald Green said: "The ceremony is very grand, and the girl has to dress up well." ”
Caiyun also said: "The Li family is considered to be an official in the northwest, and it also has the Li family in the capital as a backer, and the guests who go this time must be famous families in the northwest, and the girl should be well prepared." ”
Hui Yu nodded and said, "This is so important as the ceremony, but is there anything that should be paid attention to?" I'll listen to it too, lest the time go wrong. ”
Caiyun said while packing up the box for Hui Yu: "This ceremony can be regarded as the most important ceremony for a boudoir woman before she gets married. Most people will do their best to do it well, firstly, to create a reputation for their daughter, so that they can better discuss their marriage, and secondly, to show their love for their daughter, so that the future in-laws will not dare to bully their daughter. ”
"There are guests of honor, praise, praisers, deacons, deacons, etc., each with his own duties. Now the girl of the Li family just invites the girl to participate in the ceremony, that is, to be a spectator, the girl only needs to dress up for a grand celebration and participate on time. ”
Hui Yu nodded, thinking that she was just going to take a look, and when she was an audience, this was simple. Then he said, "This is very good, you can help me prepare, and I will be dressed in decent clothes." ”
Caiyun looked for it from the cage, took out a long skirt with a bright silver background and purple fine pattern, with a purple silver-trimmed belt around her waist, and showed it to Hui Yu, and asked, "What does the girl think of this skirt?" ”
Hui Yu took a closer look and said, "It's good, just this one." ”
Caiyun was just about to put away her clothes, when Tang's mother came in and said, "Although the girl is just watching the ceremony, she should also back up the ceremony for the girl of the Li family." The girl has rarely had the opportunity to socialize since the funeral, and it is rare to participate in the ceremony this time, and everyone in the northwest is there, so she should have a good look. After speaking, he looked at the clothes Caiyun had picked and said, "Dressing up appropriately is only one aspect, and more importantly, it is different." Prepare a small gift for the girl of the Li family, a little expression of the girl's heart, and can leave a good impression on the ladies, why not? ”
Since Mother Tang's protector showed her heartfelt expression and was regarded as a military advisor by Hui Yu, Mother Tang's potential strength factor has undoubtedly appeared. Although Hui Yu is sometimes annoyed by Tang's mother meddling in everything like this, she also has to say that if it weren't for Tang's mother's construction and Hui Yu's temperament, many things would not have been done.
So Hui Yu said: "Mom, if the other girls who watched the ceremony didn't bring gifts, and I brought them alone, wouldn't it be bad?" ”
Mother Tang shook her head and said, "The girl doesn't want to prepare expensive gifts of real money and silver, just a few small gadgets, who would mind?" Besides, that is, the girl has a mellow temperament to think like this, with the experience of the old slave, the girl will never be the only one who has brought a gift, and the girl can rest assured. ”
Well, Mother Tang's hidden tricks, I hope it won't attract the resentment of other girls......
Hui Yu said: "Then I'll bring a box of rouge from the red silk rouge shop, which is unique and not too eye-catching." ”
Tang's mother also thinks it is very good. The preparations for the ceremony were agreed, and it was only necessary to attend it two days later.
Liao also heard that the eldest girl of the Li family and Lu Li invited Hui Yu and Duo Yu to be observers. called Yu's mother and said: "You go to the treasury to see, the cat's eye head that the master bought from the merchants outside the customs a few years ago is still not there, if it is there, I will send a copy to the third girl and the fourth girl, and say that I asked them to bring it to participate in the ceremony." ”
Yu's mother looked at the Liao family who was kneeling in front of the Buddha statue and worshipping the Buddha devoutly, only feeling that the two of them were like before, as if they were possessed by others, and they didn't know if it was really a change in temperament or just a temporary compromise, so she became more and more cautious, and said: "Two days ago, the old slave took inventory of the warehouse, and I saw the two heads, just a big and a small one, I don't know how to give the two girls?" ”
Liao Shi counted the Buddha beads and said, "The big one is for the three girls, and the small ones are for the four girls." ”
Yu's mother answered and went out.
Mo He followed in, and when he saw that Liao seemed to be reciting scriptures, he whispered: "Madam, my uncle is still waiting for you in the hall, will you see him today?" ”
Liao didn't raise his head and asked, "How many times has he been here today?" ”
Mohe said: "It's the fifth time I've come. ”
Liao stood up, patted his skirt, and said, "Let's go, take me to meet my eldest brother." ”
The old man of the Liao family was not only relieved when he saw that the Liao family was finally willing to come out to meet, but also hurriedly made a gesture to the Liao family, and said, "Sister, you are finally willing to forgive the eldest brother." Big brother is here to make amends to you for your sister-in-law, it was that stupid woman who was blinded by lard for a while, so she did such a stupid thing, and almost made our Liao family miserable, but fortunately, there is a sister around, big brother, I really don't know how to thank you. ”
Liao snorted and said: "The sister-in-law's impulsive temperament should also be changed, she is about to hug her grandson at the age of her grandson, and she still works hard at every turn, but she doesn't know that trouble comes from her mouth, fortunately, this time the matter was not publicized, otherwise the ten Liao families would not be enough to calm the anger of the Chu family." Now that the Chu family is tightly covered, and no longer mentions this matter, the eldest brother will treat it as if it didn't happen. ”
The old man of the Liao family understood Liao's words, and hurriedly said: "Sister, don't worry, the rest of the Liao family doesn't know, and there will definitely be no leaks." ”
Liao said: "It's good that the eldest brother understands." As long as the Liao family does well, the Chu family will not blame the past, and the two families will still interact as before. How important the reputation of the girl's family is, presumably the eldest brother also knows, if Sister Huan also suffers like this, the eldest brother should be more anxious than us......"
Uncle Liao's forehead began to sweat, can his sister not know what kind of temperament he has? That's definitely self-interest first, the original Liao family is safe and stable, it's okay to take a little autumn breeze or something, and now that such a thing happens, you can't abandon the Liao family to protect yourself first? That is, the stupid woman in the family thought that she could ask for help......
Uncle Liao thought about it for a while, and said: "But Brother Shang hasn't ended yet, and the family affairs have not been decided, if you have a bad reputation, your future will be ruined...... The Liao family can be counted on as such a seedling......"
Liao Shi sneered in his heart, only now do he know what is the use of being powerful? Where did all the momentum of the teeth and claws go? He also said: "The eldest brother is also confused, and now there is no rumor, so naturally there is no need for Brother Shang to bear it, so the eldest brother has to watch it when he goes back, as long as it is not spread, there is nothing, if there is really a disturbance, the eldest brother will make his own choice." ”
Uncle Liao knew that this would be the result if he continued to talk about it, so he didn't stay anymore and said goodbye and went back.
Liao sighed secretly, the family was already worried, and the partial mother's family was not worried, is it really like what the one said, it is karma? Forget it, the matter has come to this point, and I can't care so much, it still matters to Sister Lan and Brother Lang......
Xiu Xuanzhai got the furniture and head sent by Yu's mother, and he was so surprised.
Duo Yu asked the mother who sent the things, and said, "But only Xiu Xuanzhai has it?" ”
The mother said respectfully: "Yurong Courtyard also sent it." ”
Duo Yu nodded and said, "Mom has worked hard." Then he called the cuckoo, took some broken silver, and gave it to his mother.
The mother was overjoyed, took the money, thanked her again and again, and then withdrew.
The cuckoo looked at a set of grass-flowered and pear tables and chairs piled up in the courtyard, and asked, "Girl, are these tables and chairs to be placed in the hall?" ”
Duo Yu said: "Naturally, it is placed in the hall, and no matter how Anhuatang is kind, since we have received this love, we should show it to others." so that others may have that good reputation. ”
The cuckoo said again: "Then the cat's eye head will be put aside first and wait for the future envoy?" ”
Duo Yu said: "Put it away first, and then make a decision when I go to Yurong Courtyard." ”
When the cuckoo got the instructions, he put away his head and face, and went to call the mother-in-law and maid to clean up the hall and set up the tables and chairs.
Duo Yu looked at the old tables and chairs that were carried out and were not used, and secretly said in her heart, which one is this singing? I didn't have a reason to send something, and it seems that I have to be more careful later.
