Chapter 261: Preparation (9)
Hearing that the people from the Chu family had arrived, Chang Yuyun hurried to the front yard, and Chu Weilin got up and went to the weeping flower gate to greet him.
To Chu Weilin's surprise, Mrs. Zhang, who rarely goes out, also came, and Mrs. Zhang had been back to Changfu for a few years before, and she had only left for her family affairs at that time.
Chu Lunxin stepped forward to support Mrs. Zhang, and called affectionately: "Mother." ”
Mrs. Zhang bowed her head, smiled, looked left and right, didn't see Brother Lin, and asked, "Brother?" ”
Chu Weilin said: "In front of the old ancestor, the weather was cold, so the old ancestor let him play with Sister Lan, but he didn't take it out. ”
He and Li, as the aunts in the same room, had to go this way, and Chu Weiai followed behind, whispering something to the maids beside them.
In another carriage, Su and Miao came down together and greeted each other with Chu Weilin.
Su Shi took Chu Weilin's hand and said with a smile: "It's Chinese New Year's Eve in a few days, and my mother-in-law really can't pull away." ”
Chu Weilin smiled and nodded, after all, it is the end of the lunar month, this time of year, it is not the time to visit relatives and friends, each family and each hospital is too busy with their own affairs, where is there that free time, what is the matter, it is too late to talk about it when you walk around in the New Year.
It's just that Brother Lin happened to be born on the second day of the new year, and the ancestors were particular about it, and refused to move the Zhou to the first month, and they knew the situation in each prefecture, so they only gave a post to the Chu family and the aunts and grandmothers of the Chang family who married in the capital.
Chu Weilin pursed her lips and said to Su Shi: "I know, you are all here to support the scene with me." With my grandmother's big Buddha here, my face looks like gold. ”
Su Shi shook his head with laughter when he heard this, and patted Chu Weilin lightly: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about!" Now that you are walking sideways in this house, who else dares to stop you? ”
It's all joking, and I don't put it in my heart.
Su Shi said again: "The legs and feet of the third uncle and grandfather are cold, and they are uncomfortable when it is cold, so they didn't come here today." ”
It's okay not to come.
Chu Zhengfu's generation is there, the ancestor of Changfu has passed away for many years, if he comes, Chang Henghan and Chang Hengmiao should not be waiting? It's a happy event today. Chu Zhengfu refused to come here to find a sense of existence.
In the Pine Age Hospital. The old ancestor had already received the letter and knew that Mrs. Zhang was coming in person, so he asked the Tu family to stand outside the courtyard to greet him.
Mrs. Zhang was the first time she saw Chang Yuyun's stepmother, and she looked up and down. I know that this is a person with means and ability. She had a smile on her face. The two parties exchanged a few polite words and entered the main house.
A lot of people came at once, and Brother Lin was not afraid. Blinking his eyes, he found the Su clan he recognized in the crowd, and stretched out his hand towards the Su clan with his newly sprouted white pointed front teeth.
Sister Lan timidly glanced at everyone and hid behind the old ancestor.
The old ancestor handed Brother Lin over to the Su family, and then held Sister Lan in his arms, and said to Mrs. Zhang: "My in-laws haven't come to see me for two or three years, or our Brother Lin has face." ”
Mrs. Zhang laughed, laughed and sighed: "These three boys and five girls under my knees, the boys are not old, except for the youngest Wei Ai, who has not yet married, the rest are married, but I, the great-grandson I have hugged is Brother Lin, Wei Xiu is married in Jiangnan, although I have two sons, I have never looked at it." Now that Brother Lin is catching Zhou, I can't miss it. No more blessed than you, brothers and sisters are around you. ”
The ancestor also sighed: "When my in-laws say this, I also care about those who are married far away, one by one separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and I don't know if I can see each other again in this life." ”
After talking for a while, another message came from the door, Chang Yuxin came.
When the eldest sister came back, Chu Weilin went up to the second gate again.
Chang Yuxin treated her kindly, asked about the family situation, and knew that their husband and wife were relatively safe with the Tu family, and she was slightly relieved.
Halfway through, when she met Chang Hengmiao's father and son and the men of the Chu family, Chang Yuxin stepped forward and saluted, but her attitude towards Chang Hengmiao was still cold.
Chang Hengmiao knew it in his heart, and he didn't want to make each other unable to get off the stage in front of everyone, so he responded with his head.
Chu Weilin greeted Chu Lunyu with a smile, and greeted her uncles and brothers again.
Chang Yuxin whispered to her: "Your father, but I am much better than my father." ”
The same is the loss of his wife in the early years, Chang Hengmiao hurriedly welcomed the newcomer, Chu Lunyu has not married until now, thinking of his deceased mother, Chang Yuxin's heart is blocked.
Chu Weilin smiled bitterly, in fact, they all knew in their hearts, if they could, who would be willing to compare their father's reaction after their mother's death? I can't wait for my mother to be good all the time.
Back at Songling Hospital, greet each other.
The old ancestor glanced at Chu Weijing twice, he looked handsome, gestured, a little comfortable but did not lose the rules, the key is that people look upright.
Ye Yushu married him, but it was not bad.
When the time came, I went to the front flower hall to watch Brother Lin catch Zhou.
The Xu family and Chang Yuxiao came together, the Lu family and Chang Yuye were nowhere to be seen, and the ancestors didn't mind, after all, the two sick ones were not suitable for visitors.
Several tables of the Eight Immortals were put together, with red silk on them, and seals, scriptures of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, abacus, coins, and food toys were all considered.
Chu Weilin went in with Brother Lin in her arms.
The things on the table were all brand new, Brother Lin had never seen them, his eyes were rolling, and when Chu Weilin put him in the middle of the table, his interest was even more full.
After reading almost everything, Brother Lin suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the official letter.
Everyone laughed, the old ancestor couldn't help nodding, and coaxed Brother Lin to let him catch the same again.
Brother Lin didn't know how to understand, put the official message in front of him, and then stretched out his hand to the scripture not far away, before everyone had time to say anything, he kept his hands and feet, and grabbed the things that he could grasp around him.
Chu Weilin glanced at her son with mixed feelings.
None of the officials and masters who watched the ceremony around the table had two sleeves, even Chu Lunyu. It's impossible to be alone in the officialdom, it's just a degree, but it's still too powerful to be able to see and be able to see it like Brother Lin'er, and it's still too powerful.
Chang Yuming couldn't hold back his face, turned his head and chuckled.
The old ancestor raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "I'm happy, Yu Ming, you still laugh at your nephew, why don't you ask your mother, what did you catch when you were a child?" ”
A cricket, a dice. At that time, Liu's face was blue. Only his father played a round at that time.
Chang Yuming naturally knew and begged for mercy again and again.
Miao took over the conversation and recalled with Chu Weilin when Sister Qiao caught Zhou.
It's just for fun, and no one is thinking about Brother Lin'er's heroic posture. Laughing and sitting down. A feast was held.
Mrs. Zhang accompanied the old ancestor to eat a few glasses of wine. After the banquet, I was a little tired, so I went to Yiyuxuan to rest.
said that he was resting, but he was just talking to Chu Lunxin about himself. Summoned Chu Weilin over again.
Old Mrs. Zhang lay on the soft couch and asked, "Wei Lin, your mother-in-law didn't embarrass you, did she?" ”
Chu Weilin shook her head: "She fought with the Zhao family before, and her mind was not on me. ”
Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief: "She is not a soft persimmon, she has a decent face, she is naturally good, if she grabs you tightly, you don't have to be afraid of her." ”
Chu Weilin responded, and Mrs. Zhang asked about other matters in the Chang Mansion.
Chu Lunxin didn't hide it from Mrs. Zhang, and briefly said something about the Liu family, and Mrs. Zhang frowned when she heard it.
The plan of delaying the army, and the tiger skin, but there is no way out, there is always a green mountain, only then can there be a comeback, can be dragged on, naturally to delay.
But that was from the standpoint of Chang Lao Ancestor, if it was from the perspective of Chu Lunxin and Chu Weilin......
Mrs. Zhang snorted: "The sooner you divide the family, the better." After the separation, although it is not as beautiful as before, there is no need to worry about livelihood. There are children in the second and third rooms as officials, and the things in the long room will not fall into your hands, rather than waiting for her to split up after a hundred years, it is better to divide it now, how much can you rely on the identity of your ancestors for a few more years, and when she goes, her feet have already stood firm. The Liu family will not give up, how can they stop it when the Liu family is really powerful? I didn't communicate with each other earlier, but by the time the little prince took the big seal, it had been ten or eight years, and they could still drag the two of you into it again? ”
Chu Weilin knew that what Mrs. Zhang said was right.
In the previous life, the family was too anxious, in the eyes of others, the four rooms were clearly still a family, but if the family had been separated for several years, except for the New Year's holidays, they would not move around, and the Liu family wanted to have a pot of ends, and they had to weigh it.
But the separation of the family is not something that one person can say, especially if the ancestors are still alive, who of the children dares to say that they can split the family?
If you move some hands and feet behind your back, it will be too dangerous at this moment.
After sending her mother's family away, Chu Weilin took Brother Lin back to Ji Jinyuan.
After a day of operation, it really calmed down, and my body was a little tired.
But at the end of the year, there were many things, and after only resting for a while, I was called by the ancestor to sit down and discuss the things in the New Year.
In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and during the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Chang Yuye and Lu were not in good health, so they were absent.
The old ancestor was in a bad mood, so that the others did not dare to frolic and had a sullen meal, and then dispersed.
Early in the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, the foreign women want to enter the palace to say goodbye.
The old ancestor was accompanied by the Liu family and the Tu family, and he was ready before dawn and entered the palace.
When she came back before noon, Chu Weilin saw that the old ancestor's mood seemed to be much better.
Tu Shi carried people behind his back and said to Chu Weilin: "It's still the same as in previous years, the seventh day of the first month is given to the play, and it is sung until the twelfth day." ”
Chu Weilin understood.
In the eyes of others, the honor of Changfu was still there, and the ancestor was also relieved, so he smiled.
During the New Year's Festival, Chu Weilin had to move around, Chu Weilin returned to her parents' house, and went to King Chong's mansion to say goodbye.
Chu Weiwan whispered to her: "It's about again, but I didn't sit down and didn't report it." ”
Chu Weilin looked at Chu Weiwan's flat stomach and was pleasantly surprised.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, according to the usual practice, the ancestors invited the girls from various provinces to listen to the play, and it was not until the twelfth day of the first lunar month that the troupe withdrew from the Changfu, and the house gradually calmed down.
Chu Weilin entered the Songling Courtyard, and happened to meet the Liu family coming out of the main house, so she saluted.
Liu nodded with a smile, didn't say anything, and turned around.
Chu Weilin picked up the curtain and entered the house, and the old ancestor leaned on the Luohan bed, his eyebrows were full of exhaustion.
After resting for a while, the old ancestor came back to his senses and sighed: "Have you met the Liu family?" ”
Chu Weilin bowed.
"She came to discuss Yu Xi's marriage with me." Ancestor Dao.
Chu Weilin was stunned: "Does the sixth uncle have a satisfactory family?" ”
The old ancestor snorted: "It is said that I went to my relatives a few days ago and met the second wife of Uncle Zhongyong's mansion, and people fell in love with Yu Yu." ”
Chu Weilin was surprised.
Chu Weilin couldn't tell the situation in Uncle Zhongyong's mansion clearly, but he still knew a little.
Zhongyong Bo Dong's family, the girl Dong Lingyin who married out is close to the Ronghe County Lord of Xuanping Houfu, and she is not a good one to get along with, Du Siniang married the third son of Bofu two years ago, Chu Weilin listened to her tone, and life was not comfortable, and now among the sons of Zhongyong Bofu, only Dong Lingqi of Xingqi did not marry.
"The fourth girl of the eldest aunt's mother-in-law's family is married to the third son of the Zhongyong Uncle's Mansion, I heard her say before, the Uncle's Mansion is very powerful." Chu Weilin told the truth.
The old ancestor sighed: "Who said it wasn't? Who will the hereditary title fall to, there is no explanation now, how can it not be a fight? What is the Dong family's Xiaoqi, I don't know, his mother Ma, I have seen it, but it is not a 'powerful' that can be explained. What kind of personality is Yu Xi? If you say it well, it is introverted and high, and if you don't say it well, her eyes are above the top, and she can't see it well on the left and right, and in the hands of Ma, can she still have a good day? I'm afraid I can't cry anymore! This family matter, if it is done, that is, mutual benefit and reciprocity, the Liu family wants to rely on it more. ”
Chu Weilin saw that the old ancestor was very clear about the situation in Uncle Zhongyong's mansion, so he asked, "Then did you tell the sixth uncle about this?" This family affair ......"
The old ancestor waved his hand: "Let her go." Her own daughter doesn't have pity, what else can I do? If I stop it, and when I block the way of her Liu family, it is better to be happy and happy, and this is it, Bofu is willing to marry us, and I am also happy to have a more Bofu family. Yu Yu's family affairs, let the Liu family worry about it themselves, and tell your mother-in-law and uncle, don't wade into this troubled water. ”
When it came to this, Chu Weilin could only nod her head.
When I came out of Songling Courtyard, I had to go to Qinglan Garden and Yiyu Xuan to deliver a letter.
When Tu Shi heard this, he couldn't help but be upset, and said: "Living under one roof, sooner or later they will be made crazy!" ”
Chu Weilin pursed her lips and was silent.
The Tu family is eager to split up, otherwise, they would not have gone to Mingzhou without looking back, and lived there freely, no different from separating the family, but now that Chang Hengmiao has returned to the capital, the ancestors are still there, and she can only crawl around in this big mansion, the more power she has in her hands, the easier her life will be.
But if the family can be separated, Tu will definitely be the one who will find a house immediately without saying a word.
After listening to this, Chu Lunxin nodded slowly and didn't say anything more.
No one had any opinions on this family affair, except for Chang Yuxi, who listened to some rumors and immediately smashed the inkstone. (To be continued......)
