The last wisp of winter wind is still imperceptibly far away, blowing a warm south wind from the Huai River, blowing the girls on the bank of the Huai River, and the river in Maoshan Village also has the greeting of the old man who fishes fish fry. The spring breeze blows the green willow tops, and when the big girls and little daughters-in-law in the streets and alleys take off their thick jackets and put on thin skirts, it is the day when Xueyao leaves the pavilion.

It is said that it is out of the cabinet, but the name is better, but for the Ding Mansion, it is just a concubine room.

The grandmother of Dingfu has a family fortune, and the family does a part of the business of the imperial merchants, and it is said that the flowers and plants in the imperial garden are all provided by their family. The reason for marrying with the Ding family is that the Ding family has been scholarly for four generations, although the father of the Ding Mansion has declined in this generation, compared with the Ding Mansion's grandmother as a businessman's maiden family, it is still a noble scholar's family. Grandma Dingfu is a beauty with ice and snow and jade skin, although she was born in a merchant family with pearls like earth and gold like iron, she also invited a famous teacher to teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she was trained to be a lady who knows books and is as graceful as a flower and a water.

She and Uncle Ding Fu are not without feelings. Uncle Ding Mansion has been handsome since she was a child, and she is even more chic and dignified when she grows up, she glanced through the curtain and couldn't take her eyes off it. After becoming a parent, I found that the person I never forgot was one of the people who was ruined by Jin Yuqi, who was used to greedy for flowers and love the moon, and did not let go of the slightly flat-headed and straight-faced maids in the house. She cried, made trouble, begged, how could her heart be like ice, and all the affection disappeared from the moment she lifted the red hijab.

After getting married, I also learned that my mother-in-law was from a small family, and she was originally the concubine of the old lady, but she was corrected because she gave birth to a son. She came up as a concubine, because she didn't wear red clothes when she entered Dingfu, and she could wear red after straightening up. Whether it is suitable or not, the red cloak hangs on the body, and even the gold in the neck is eager to apply a layer of red on it. She loves to wear red, but she can't see others wearing red, Grandma Dingfu crossed the brazier at the front gate with a fiery red phoenix crown, and the burning red stabbed her eyes. The scars in my heart were revealed, and my face was full of unhappiness. The next day, when the tea was served, the new daughter-in-law waited for a long time before getting up. And the eldest grandmother brought thousands of family wealth to marry, and the food and clothing are all her own, and she is an ice and snow man who doesn't look down on the mother-in-law who is supported by the concubine.

The husband was cold-hearted. The mother-in-law did not wait to see, a son broke off in swaddling clothes, desperately gave birth to a daughter and injured her body, and since then the grandmother of Dingfu has been like a withered heart, wearing plain clothes and clothes, and devout to the Buddha.

For Uncle Dingfu is out of tune. The eldest grandmother treats her only daughter, Ai Sister, and her upbringing is very strict, and she is not allowed to apply grease and powder since she was a child. Uncle Ding's hand stretched out. All the girls in the mansion who are beautiful have been stained by him, and the grandmother is afraid that his hand will reach into the yard of the girl.

Sister Ai'er is innocent and only follows a grandmother. Two big girls, both of whom are decent. The people around me are all picky, and there is a little bit of thought. The big grandmother can't tolerate it.

The girl who was raised at this time is inevitably too old, and at a young age, she knows how to read and behave. In the Ding Mansion Mansion, one step is no more, one step is not less, and there is all the color, but even if she is so polite and sensible, she still can't see the eyes of Mrs. Ding, she only thinks about her grandson. Because I don't like the grandmother in my heart, I once let go, the uncle's house is not limited to aunts or rooms, as long as I can give birth to a son, I will be raised as a flat wife.

Sister Ai'er is getting older, and she is gradually sensible, and she knows that she has a merry father and a grandmother who is not in tune, although she is not very old, she follows her mother's teaching in everything she says and does, and she refuses to laugh with the old lady with a sweet tongue. Don't look at her young age, she has a plan in her heart, for a concubine in her father's house, she collided with her mother and lifted her out of the family law, and beat the concubine a few times, although she suppressed a room of warblers and warblers, but those people didn't say anything good about her in front of the old lady.

Even Xue Yao, who used the means to cut Uncle Ding's small clothes into mandarin duck handkerchiefs and send them to Ding's grandmother, was finally known by Sister Ai, and sarcastically mocked her in person.

Ding Mansion has sent a line of maids and grandmothers to serve Xue Yao out of the pavilion since yesterday, everyone in the Chen family put on new clothes, for the sake of face, Xue Yao gave a dress to everyone in the big house, although it is not a good material The embroidered flowers are not exquisite, but in the end they are brand new, the creases on the clothes have not been removed, and they must have been bought in the shop in the town. Zhao and Mrs. Chen both stood at the door in bright red dresses to greet guests, because someone came to serve Xueyao from Ding's house, Mrs. Chen felt that her face was bright, and the neighbor didn't even feel distressed when she ate the banquet, and even shouted at the top of her voice: "Eat more, our old Chen family's grandchildren will return to happy events." So someone complimented: "Wouldn't it be more grand to wait for Qi Lin to become a parent." Mrs. Chen became more and more proud: "That's not it." ”

Xue Yao became a relative of the Chen family did not spend a penny, the banquet was booked by the Chen family in the town restaurant early, eight cold dishes, eight fruit plates, eight hot dishes, eight large items, a total of thirty-two dishes, full of dishes on the table, all of them are rare dishes in the village, the last soup that came up was shark fin bird's nest, everyone's eyes fell off, and each table also had three catties of good bamboo leaf green wine, lively and lively eating, even eating and taking a little residual soup was not left.

When the dishes were served, Zhao was distressed and snorted the cold wind, such a table of banquets cost five taels of silver, which was enough for the crops to eat for two years. Good soup and good dishes are cheap for these villagers, Hengzhu didn't pay for his own family, and everyone who came to the banquet brought gifts and money, and a wedding wine was done and made more than a dozen taels of silver in vain.

"I don't think the taste of bird's nest is as delicious as cabbage and radish."

"You know, just this spoonful of bird's nest is enough for you to chew for a year."

"Look at the rich and noble, it's as easy as eating bird's nest and giving us water, Xueyao can fall into the nest now."

There was a lively discussion at the banquet, which blew into Zhao's ears along the wind, and she felt like she had drunk a bowl of hot noodle soup in the cold winter moon, which was extremely ironed.

This kind of pomp and circumstance is still the first in the entire Maoshan Village, and everyone patronizes the discussion banquet, but forgets that Xue Yao entered the Ding Mansion just to make a second room.

Xue Yao is out of the pavilion, theoretically speaking, each room of the Chen family should be added to makeup, although it is to be the second room, it is also the first happy event for the grandchildren of the Chen family. Li and Cai discussed for a night, each gave a tael of silver, two good rulers, two pairs of shoes and socks, such a ceremony is already very grand in the countryside, I didn't think that Mrs. Chen was not satisfied, and with a gloomy face and opened her mouth, she asked Li what her nephew had added to her marriage. Li didn't answer, Xue Jiao asked rhetorically: "Sister Xue Yao came out of the pavilion, my grandmother added two rulers, they are all relatives, why did my uncle's eldest brother become a relative to the Chen family and didn't add anything to the room." ”

was exposed in person, and the angry Mrs. Chen and Zhao's liver hurt.

Wen Yingtian's makeup was compared to that of Li and Cai, Qingyu added two rulers and a pair of gold bracelets, Wen Yan added a piece of cloth, and Zhang added a pair of shoes.

These things can't even fit into a box, and it's too chilly to carry them over. Because Ding Fu said that there was no need for a dowry, Zhao and Mrs. Chen really didn't prepare a dowry at all, Xue Yao glanced at the mahogany box, and her eyes turned red at the moment. She didn't complain in her heart about the Zhao family and Shangfang and others, she had been doing cattle and horses in Dingfu for many years, and now she flew on the branch as the master, they said that she didn't need to prepare a dowry is just a polite statement, and she didn't just pull it out casually and raise her to become an aunt, but seriously asked the name to enter the second room of Dingfu as a grandmother, and everyone stared at her, and her mother's family did not prepare a dowry at all, which made her enter Dingfu How to deal with herself.

The old lady sent by the Ding Mansion glanced at the dowry, and secretly sighed in her heart, but the second room is not as good as the pomp and circumstance of the maid in the house. Xue Yao has been a big girl in Ding Mansion for so many years, and she has taken the best monthly examples, various New Year's rewards, gifts from Uncle Ding Mansion, and there are a lot of them, and the hairpins and hairpins brought into the house are about three or four hundred gold. The mother's family didn't support their face, so they had to plan for themselves, and on the first day of leaving the cabinet, they had to show their own self-esteem, and asked someone they knew to go to the town to hastily buy a dowry.

Chen Zichang saw those porcelain pots, gong buckets, and was suspected that she had a body and did not subsidize the family, and when she was about to go out, she scraped the things clean and brought them into the Ding Mansion, and said: "The Ding Mansion is full of wealth, there is nothing, I have to let you make up for it." ”

In the dowry box, the silver and gold satin was placed on the top, in order to shake the eyes of the villain who chewed the tongue of the Ding Mansion, and did not think that the eyes of others did not shake the flowers, but the eyes of his own father were shaken.

The house was crowded with guests everywhere, Xue Yao was afraid that it would be heard and spread to the ears of Dingfu Mama, so she had to endure her anger and turn her back, and the more she thought about it at night, the more angry she became, she didn't sleep well all night, and woke up the next day with her eyes black and blue, and called Zhao to send someone to the Xiaohuai River to get ice cubes for her eyes, at this time the ice in the river had melted early, where to find it.

There was a commotion everywhere in the house, and it had been playing and singing for a day. Xue Yao didn't sleep well at night because of Tiantou, and the old lady who combed her hair in the house came, she forced a pair of dark blue eyes, and was helped by Zhao all the way to the makeup mirror.

Xue Yao opened her eyes, looked in the mirror and saw the eyes of the grandmother behind her who were as calm as water, her body trembled unconsciously, and she asked, "Why is Mama Li here?" (To be continued)
