100 out of the cabinet
Asking someone to add makeup? It's a shame that she can open her mouth! Fang Fei is an elder, whether she is willing to add makeup to the third girl, that is something she is unhappy about, how can there be a reason to force people to add makeup!
Mother Zhou looked at her second aunt with disdain, spitting on her behavior.
The second aunt is completely out for her daughter, even Grandma Song has begged in a low voice, so why not come to Fang Fei to beg again, although it is still unknown whether she can add makeup to her daughter, but if she can't pull down her face and don't come, then there must be none!
Fang Fei's hand holding the pen stopped in the void, as if he was seriously considering, and after half a sound, he said seriously: "What you said also has some truth. ”
Mother Zhou, who was beside her, was stunned for a moment, and looked at her in surprise, but heard her continue: "There must be no shortage of makeup and jewelry, so let's send a few maids to her." After speaking, without waiting for the second aunt to have a chance to refuse, she raised her pen and pointed to the maid standing at the door, "What's her name?" Mother Zhou, it's just her, you go pick another one, make a pair, and make a dowry for the three girls, and when the Zhou family comes to the door to carry the dowry tomorrow, you will personally send it over. ”
Do you want to save face? The maid personally sent by the lady of the Zhao family, and asked the housekeeper to send it to the door in person, which fully gave her face.
Wasn't the maid Fang Fei ordered secretly stuffed in by the second aunt last time when they removed the maid from Green Jade Xuan!
The second aunt was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, but she couldn't find fault with it.
The elders of the family send maids to the younger generations, which is to show that they value it, and they have more face than sending gold and silver, so the second aunt is embarrassed to ask Fang Fei for makeup, so she has to go back stupidly.
"Mother. Shaobai he won't care about those, with him protecting me, I'm not afraid of other people's jokes, besides, Shaobai is an only son, father and mother in the morning, and younger brother and sister in the afternoon. No one will laugh at me. It's true. When she returned to her yard, the third girl who came to visit her mother comforted the second aunt in turn.
The third girl is not young, and it stands to reason that she should have gotten married a long time ago. But because she has been dragging the Zhou family all these years, she wants to get rid of this marriage, and she has become an old girl in a daze, and the maid who grew up with her is matched with the little queen of the family. The babies have given birth to several children, and she is not looking forward to getting married. It was fake, and now she is the bride who is about to get married, and she is indulging in joy, and her whole face is radiant. It is probably in response to the saying that people are in good spirits when they are happy.
Speaking of the Zhou family, the second aunt breathed a long sigh of relief.
At the beginning, she also sent someone to touch the Zhou family's background, and Zhou Shaobai boasted of being a romantic talent. Spending money like dirt, it is said that the family business left by his parents has long been ruined. But this time, he was able to come up with so many dowries, which shows that the Zhou family is not an empty shell as she heard.
Zhou Shaobai is as the third girl said, she has money and a house, her parents are dead, she used to be a young grandmother, she doesn't have to serve her in-laws, and she has no brothers, so she doesn't have to worry about the relationship between concubines, and she doesn't have to worry about having brothers to divide the family property in the future, it's really too good to be better!
"You, you're going to get married tomorrow, why don't you go back to your house and clean up." The second aunt let out a long sigh of relief, smiled and raised her hand, brushing a strand of broken hair scattered from the corner of her daughter's forehead behind her ear.
"It's time to clean up, it's all cleaned up, and now I just want to come and talk to you." The fourth girl replied shyly, and asked the second aunt again: "Auntie, why doesn't the fourth sister go home?" Doesn't she know that I'm out of the cabinet tomorrow? ”
The 'fourth sister' in her mouth is the fourth girl Zhao Lirong, and people are reluctant to come back, "Maybe there is something important." The second aunt shook her head and looked at him. I didn't want to talk to the third girl about it.
In the past few days, everyone outside has gone crazy, saying that the four girls of the Zhao family's big house went to the county yahoutang and recommended a pillow to Chen Shizi, who lived in the county yahoutang, and it is said that the two even have skin-to-skin ...... But the male protagonist is the prince of the Guogong Mansion, and the heroine is just a humble concubine, and there is no such thing as a yellow bird flying on the branch and becoming a phoenix, but it must still be possible to receive the house.
Not only the second aunt, but also those who know about this are secretly slandering, saying that they would rather be a poor wife than a rich concubine, and besides, they are still in a hurry to send it to the door, can men cherish it? That's hell to go.
But the family has been busy sending the three girls out of the cabinet for the past few days, and this small wind has not been able to blow to the ears of the two old ladies in charge, and the people in the family have entered the left ear and the right ear has come out, and the right to treat it as a joke, and when the matter of the three girls is over, it is estimated that there should be a good show to watch.
Early the next morning, the second aunt got up early in the morning, and took the people in her yard early to the third girl's yard to get busy.
Grandma Song also got up early in the morning, although the Qian family has not been on good terms with her for many years, but the place where she should save face is still enough, and in the matter of dowry, she has already spread the idleness she has suffered over the years, and she has not embarrassed the second aunt anymore.
It's obviously her own daughter who is married, but she wants to call other women's mothers, and she also goes to kowtow to other women when she resigns, and it is her daughter's face that she doesn't lose, which is like inserting a knife in the heart of the second aunt.
Although the third girl was a little tricky and narrow-minded, she still understood the truth, and after wearing it, she first kowtowed to her biological mother Qian.
Qian covered her face with a handkerchief, the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried, made the makeup, and let the dressing lady put on the makeup again, and waited until the Zhou family's sedan chair came to the door, and the Xi Niang carried her to Tonghua Courtyard, said goodbye to Grandma Song, and was led by the Xi Niang to the second gate, and handed it to Zhou Shaobai, who was waiting outside the second gate.
The two went to the main hall together, kowtowed to the eldest man, said goodbye to the brothers and sisters in the family, and then went out from the corner gate and got on the sedan chair of the Zhou family.
To do this happy event, that is, the courtyard of the three girls is arranged a bit like a happy event, Grandma Song only posted a happy word on the opposite door in the morning, not to mention the front yard, not even the slightest bit of joy.
recalled that when Zhao Wanrong got married, the family was red everywhere, and the farewell ceremony was even more grand, starting from the ancestors, and then to the old lady, the eldest lord, and the eldest grandmother, saying goodbye one by one. At the end, the whole family gathered in the front yard, and a couple bowed down. Only then did Zhao Rongzhao carry his sister on his back and personally put her on the sedan chair.
That situation envied the eyes of every girl present, she naively thought that she would be like the eldest sister, marrying in a beautiful way, but she forgot that she was the eldest daughter. Even if she gives a beggar. The Zhao family will also send her out of the cabinet according to the etiquette system of the eldest daughter leaving the cabinet.
They are just concubines, even if they marry into the right family, unless Grandma Song sees them in her name. Otherwise, the family can only send them out of the cabinet according to the etiquette system of concubines leaving the cabinet.
The Zhou family put a lot of effort into the dowry, but it was put on the table, and they didn't get much benefit. I don't care much about welcoming relatives, and even the sedan chair is rented. The small sedan chair of four people walked briskly.
Zhou Shaobai rode on a tall horse, and as soon as he got on the road, he couldn't wait to look at the Zhao family's dowry list, and his face was calm after reading it. Even the appearance of a groom official refused to put it on, but the sedan chair had already gone out and could not be sent back. A rough calculation shows that there is still a small surplus. Anyway, the Zhao family can't run, and with such a father-in-law, there will be benefits in the future, and they will no longer care about the immediate interests.
Fang Fei had been in Yining Hall all morning, talking with his ancestors.
Grandma Song finished her business and took people to Yining Hall.
Although it was the end of September, the weather was still hot, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were about 70 years apart, were sitting cross-legged at both ends of the Luohan couch covered with bamboo mats, and a chessboard was placed on a small square table separated from them, and the two seemed to be playing against each other.
Grandma Song couldn't help but wonder a little, the master of this family, in terms of age, counts himself as the closest to the ancestor, although he is also in his forties, but compared with others, he is already very close, but the ancestor just doesn't like himself, he is impatient to say a few words, and he can chat with Fang Fei all morning, is this a problem of age, or a human problem?
"Say hello to the ancestors, and say hello to Mrs. Tai." Grandma Song stepped forward to respectfully greet the two, put her hands together and lowered her head, and stood in front of the couch.
The old ancestor glanced at her, nodded, turned around and instructed Mother Wu, who was waiting on the side: "Let someone go and bring a stool for the eldest daughter-in-law." ”
"Ancestor Xie is considerate." Grandma Song thanked politely and sat on the high stool brought by Jin Ling.
The height of the stool is exactly the same as that of the Luohan couch, which is convenient for sitting and talking.
"What about your daughter-in-law, why don't you see anyone?" The old ancestor glanced at Grandma Song again, but he was asking Fang Fei on the other side of the square table.
Fang Fei stared intently at the chessboard, holding a white piece in his hand, looking for a suitable place to put the chess, and said unhurriedly: "I sent someone back to say that I can't even get out of bed, it's not a minor illness, I'm afraid I have to take some time." ”
The second lady's body is as strong as an ox, and she can't drink medicine a few times a year, which suddenly said that she has a serious illness, and Grandma Song didn't believe it when she was killed, and even interjected: "The second brother and sister have been sick for some days, and they don't get better, and they never say what disease they have, or I will find a doctor tomorrow and go to the county government in person to take a good look at the second brother and sister, whether they are sick or not, so that the ancestors can rest assured." ”
"Sickness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread." The old ancestor stared at the chess game, seeing that he was about to lose, and couldn't help but say a little angrily, "You are also over half a hundred years old, why are you still so ignorant of proportion?" If you have tetanus, you can get better in the afternoon after drinking medicine in the morning? ”
How many days has the second wife been sick? Grandma Song said behind her back that people were pretending to be sick, but she probably forgot about it, and the ancestor in front of her was a person who had been 'sick' for several months and didn't get better! Taking a step back, the ancestors said that 'illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread' is really not wrong at all, whether it is a major or minor illness, you just finished drinking the medicine, and others ask you, 'Is your illness cured?' This is simply an idiot's question, can others not be angry!
To put it another way, if you ask, 'Are you getting better?' If someone else can still throw you in the face, then he is really sick, his head is sick, and he has not been cured! Grandma Song didn't speak tactfully enough, so it was no wonder that the old ancestor wanted to reprimand her.
The people in the house couldn't help laughing, but they didn't dare to lose their temper in front of Grandma Song, and they were uncomfortable one by one.
Grandma Song was also a little overwhelmed on her face, and she didn't know how to answer the conversation, so she held back for a while before she changed the topic and said: "Ancestor, I came here today to tell you, two days ago, the daughter of the Lu family came to the house as a guest, saying that it was very good to hear that the Lingtai Temple on Houluo Mountain made a wish, and she always wanted to pray for Mrs. Lu." But she was new to the city, she was not familiar with the place, and Lu Shangshu was busy with official business, so she didn't dare to go alone, so she asked when we would go, and she wanted to go with our family. ”
Houluo Mountain is the big mountain that Zhaojia Town leans on, the whole mountain is the Zhao family, the Lingtai Temple on the mountain is also funded by the Zhao family, the ranking of the ancestors of the Zhao family is enshrined, it is the family temple of the Zhao family, it is not open to outsiders, the people in the town want to burn incense and pray for blessings, they have to go to the temple on the opposite side of the mountain.
In the past, when the ancestors were still strong, every fifteenth day of the new year, they would go to incense once, praying for the Buddha and the ancestors of the Zhao family to bless the descendants of the family to succeed in their studies, gain fame as soon as possible, return to the court, and glorify the ancestors.
The old ancestor frowned, but he was anxious about having nowhere to go, and only after half a ring, did he say: "Speaking of which, I haven't been there for a long time, but you also know that my body can't withstand the toss of the journey." If she wants to go, you can arrange a time, bring the girls and boys of the house, and go together, I won't join in the fun. ”
After speaking, he looked at Fang Fei opposite, "Ah Fei, if you are free, you can also follow to be lively." ”
Without the permission of the ancestors, no one can enter the family temple, the ancestors agreed to let them go, and the ancestors themselves did not go, which was in the arms of Grandma Song, but when she asked Fang Fei if she would go, she couldn't help but be a little worried, if Fang Fei went, it would be no different from the old ancestor going.
In Grandma Song's worries, Fang Fei shook his head lightly, and said lightly: "I won't go, they are all young people, if I go, they must be uncomfortable." ”
Grandma Song showed joy on her face, quickly got up to thank her, and withdrew happily.
The last time Lu Siqi came over, she liked it so much that she decided that her daughter-in-law was her, although her son's head hadn't turned a corner, but as long as the family affairs were settled, someone was married, and they got along for a long time, she didn't believe that her son would not have a love for Lu Siqi for a long time.
What her son said about those words that she swore and didn't marry Liu Zijin, she didn't believe a word, and the eldest man didn't pat his chest and swear to be a couple for the rest of his life, what was the result? The aunts in the big room are almost enough to make up two tables of mahjong! (To be continued) R655
