Chapter 52: Folding Paper Money
Yiqing Garden.
Su led the ladies in the house to sit on the big kang near the window, folding paper money with a solemn face, and every time the old marquis's sacrifice day, the paper money was folded by the daughters-in-law.
After all, the daughter-in-law is a member of the family.
Mu Yu and Mu Qing's two concubines followed the Huangfu clan to Lingxiao Temple, and the remaining sisters were cutting paper or something on the side, and they were fighting.
Sooner or later, daughters will be other wives, so according to custom, they are not allowed to fold paper money for sacrifices.
Folk rumors say that the paper money stacked by her daughter cannot be used in the underworld.
"Sister-in-law, today is my father-in-law's death day, why don't you see Gorou come back?" Liu Shi put the folded paper money on the red lacquer plate and asked with a smile.
Early in the morning, Mu Changyuan led the people in the house to kneel in the ancestral hall, and then took the men to Lingxiao Temple to pray for the Buddha.
I don't see Gorou alone.
Gorou's affairs, she naturally knows, I heard that these days, she fell in love with a green and building woman outside.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but the corners of my mouth turned up slightly, what if this concubine in front of me was Mrs. Hou?
None of his own sons are angry.
"Although Gorou is a little stubborn, but what day it is, he must remember it, and he should come back in the evening." Su Shi smiled faintly and quietly diverted the topic, "I heard that San Lang got an errand in Taifu Temple a few days ago, which is really gratifying. ”
San Lang Mu Yunxuan has a dull temperament, he likes to read the most on weekdays, maybe he is mediocre in talent, this year's spring exam, he almost fell off the list, fortunately he hung up at the end of the list, although he was unwilling, but after thinking about it again, he decided to go to the ministry to report, and he got an errand from Jiupin.
"San Lang is the most worry-free, now that I have an errand, if I can find a good marriage in the future, I will rest assured." Liu smiled crookedly, among her three children, San Lang was the most reassuring to her.
Although the current grade is lower, as long as it is not white, there must be a chance to be promoted, San Lang is still young!
"Alas, it would be nice if Shiro Goro was as worry-free as Saburo." Su Shi still smiled lightly.
If you talk about temperament, Shiro and Goro are more like brothers, both of them are mixed up outside all day long, often not seen for ten days or eight days, although Shiro also followed to Lingxiao Temple today, but he only came back last night.
Although they are all mixed outside, Shiro is different from Goro, after all, Goro is the son of the Hou Ye, no matter how bad he is, his background is a lot higher than Shiro, and he will definitely be able to find a good marriage in the future.
As for Shiro, that's it.
"yes!" Liu Shi replied curtly, mentioning this son, she was no longer in the mood to tease Goro, turned her head, and caught a glimpse of Shen Qingli and Xia sitting there silently folding paper money, her eyes flickered, and she said, "Erlang's daughter-in-law has been married for more than three months, right?" Is there any movement? ”
Dalang's daughter-in-law has been married for so long, and her stomach has not moved, and it seems that she can't count on it, I don't know if this Erlang daughter-in-law is a competitive ......
Shen Qingli has been sitting on the kang, wholeheartedly learning this method of stacking paper money, naturally he has no intention of listening to the conversation of the two women around him, and now when he heard Liu's question, he knew that she was teasing herself, so he put the paper money in his hand into the red lacquer plate, and said calmly: "Thank you for your concern, if there is any movement, the second aunt will naturally know." ”
Mu Yunting's figure couldn't help but appear in front of him, and he felt embarrassed for a while, since he had become someone's daughter-in-law, it seemed that these things could not be avoided.
"It's unreasonable for my brother and sister to ask this, this Erlang went to Youzhou a few days after he got married, and now he is injured again, so it is naturally important to recuperate, as for the child sooner or later." Su Shi took the cut paper in Mei's hand, glanced at Liu, and said lightly, "I'm not in a hurry as a mother-in-law, but what are you anxious about?" ”
"Sister-in-law, don't blame, we are all a family, and as an aunt, I also care about my two nieces and daughters-in-law." Liu frowned.
Xia was very annoyed when he saw that Liu was mentioning this sensitive topic in front of so many people, but in front of his mother-in-law, it was inconvenient to have a seizure, so he had to hold back his evil breath in his heart.
Mu Yao and Mei glanced at each other, and then looked away from each other, just standing in front of the desk in an orderly manner, cutting the glittering gold and silver paper in their hands.
Mu Lin, however, opened her mouth without thinking about it, and sneered: "The second aunt has always spoken without opening the pot, never caring about the feelings of others, thinking that my mother is used to it, how can I blame you." ”
"Hey, look at what Sanniang said, it's just a few homely gossip, and it's worth Sanniang to be so serious?" Liu folded the paper money in his hand expressionlessly, the corners of his mouth moved, he looked at Mei, and said disappreciatively, "It's really a daughter raised by my sister-in-law's side, it's really sweet." ”
But there is a burst of disdain in my heart, in the end, my aunt was born, and I am cheap in my bones, do you think that if you bear the brunt of this for others, people will accept your love?
Stupidity!
Then, he glanced at Mushuang from the corner of his eye, and saw that she was just cutting paper with her head down, looking deaf, and she couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in her heart, they were all concubines raised by her mother's side, how could she raise a white-eyed wolf.
If Mu Qing is here, he will definitely help himself back to this little hoof at this time.
Mu Shuang looked up coldly, touched Liu's almost fire-breathing gaze, and felt a burst of timidity in her heart, she didn't understand, why she didn't say anything, her grandmother was angry, her hand shook, and she actually knocked over the tea in her hand, the tea spilled on the table, and the tea bowl also snapped, fell to the ground, and shattered.
There was a sudden exclamation in the room.
Immediately someone came and cleaned up the debris on the ground.
Mu Shuang hurriedly took away the gold and silver paper on the table with a pale face, and wiped the water on the table with her sleeve, the clothes on her body did not absorb water, not only failed to wipe the water on the table, but also splashed the paper money folded under the table with water stains.
"Wu Niang doesn't need to panic, just let someone clean up." Su Shi opened his mouth lukewarmly.
Without waiting for Mu Shuang to speak, the Liu family had already rushed forward with an arrow step, shook his hand and slapped him, and scolded with a cold face: "You are a thing that is not enough to achieve and more than to lose, you don't know what day it is today?" You're wetting paper money again, and you're throwing tea bowls, and you're determined not to make everyone feel better, aren't you? ”
"The mother is angry, and the daughter didn't mean to." Mu Shuang hurriedly covered her face and knelt down tremblingly, the water stains on the ground had not been wiped dry, and the dress under her knees was soon soaked
Shen Qingli couldn't sit still anymore, he hurriedly put on his shoes and got off the kang, stepped forward to help Mu Shuang, turned his head to look at Liu, and said expressionlessly: "Second aunt, the fifth sister just knocked over a tea bowl by mistake, and it is worth the second sister-in-law to be so angry." ”
Xia Shi looked at Shen Qingli and snorted coldly in his heart, the matter between mother and daughter is about you, what kind of gentle and graceful lady you pretend!
