Chapter 409: Learned
"What? Journey...... Jiashan is getting married? Zhou Chujin finally replaced the word "Cheng Xu" with "Jiashan" and said, "When did it happen?" Why didn't you hear anything before? Can't we go back to Jinling to watch the ceremony? After speaking, she noticed that her tone was too blunt, and hurriedly added, "What about Brother Guan?" Stay in the capital? Who will take care of him? ”
The child is so young, he definitely can't bring it back to Jinling.
Listening to Mrs. Liao's tone, she had to attend Cheng Xu's wedding.
Mrs. Liao is now worried about her own family's affairs, and she is not very interested in other people's affairs, so she said lightly: "I heard your grandmother say that Jiashan is preparing to marry in the capital, and it is good to have a banquet for your uncle's colleagues." It is said that Cheng's family room has not had a happy event for nearly 20 years, and Jiashan has learned about the yuan again, and this time he has to do it in a big way no matter what. ”
In other words, this news came from Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Liao's maiden family, Fang.
Zhou Chujin couldn't believe it, and hesitated: "But the ancestral ancestral halls of the Cheng family are all in Jinling, will it be a little bad for them to hold a wedding in the capital?" ”
Mrs. Liao didn't have a good impression of Mrs. Yuan, and she talked to her son and daughter-in-law in private, and said bluntly: "She has always been so strong, and Mrs. Guo is a high-spirited person, and her son is still unmarried, where is she in the mood to care about her grandson?" Presumably this was Mrs. Yuan's idea, and she had always succeeded if she got her idea. At this point, she looked puzzled and said, "However, she did go a little too far this time." Mrs. Liao said that she remembered her own affairs again, and said, "Whatever! If Jiashan comes to Beijing to get married, we will go to watch the ceremony; If you get married in Jinling, you can go with any of them, but I won't go anyway. ”
Zhou Chujin felt a little confused, but it was not early, and her mother-in-law had come all the way over, and she was definitely very tired, so she didn't want to ask too much. After a few words with the accompaniment, the couple got up and said goodbye.
Mrs. Liao is really rare, this official brother and this grandson, and discussed that Zhou Chujin and his wife will sleep with her tonight.
As a grandmother, she likes her grandson, and Zhou Chujin and his wife naturally responded happily.
Zhou Chujin helped the nurse settle the child in Mrs. Liao's house, and returned to the east wing where she lived.
Liao Shaotang had already bathed, sitting in front of the window with a book in a daze. When Zhou Chujin got closer, she found that her husband's books were reversed.
She didn't bother, and went to bathe lightly, but her husband still held the book in the same position, and didn't even turn the pages, like a clay figure.
Zhou Chujin urged him with a smile: "Go and rest!" I'll think about something tomorrow. Didn't you just take a day off? There is nothing wrong with the Hanlin Temple. ”
Proofreading and transcribing is a tedious thing, but there is no room for error.
Liao Shaotang nodded with a smile and slept with Zhou Chujin.
But even when he went to bed, he stared at the top of the tent with his eyes open in a daze.
Zhou Chujin sighed secretly, thinking that he would go to Yuqian Hutong tomorrow as a guest, and forced himself to sleep.
The next day, he was woken up by Liao Shaotang.
He had a sloppy beard and said in a low voice, "Chu Jin, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”
His voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't slept all night.
Zhou Chujin was startled, sat up hurriedly, and said solemnly: "You say!" I'm listening! ”
Liao Shaotang still hesitated for a long time, and then said: "When we got married, didn't my mother give us a small grange?" I want to give this little grange back to my mother, so that she can have some decent money in her hands...... She also has dignity in front of us as children......"
Zhou Shaojin is all awake now.
If returning this small grange to her mother-in-law can bring "dignity" to her mother-in-law, why wouldn't she do it.
It's not that she doesn't have her own dowry, and she doesn't live on the little money in the Liao family.
It's just that she knows Liao Shaotang's temperament, and it is impossible for her to use their property to please her mother-in-law for no reason, something must have happened, and it is related to the fact that her mother-in-law talked to him yesterday.
Zhou Chujin immediately responded happily, and said with a smile: "That was originally my mother-in-law's dowry, and there are also younger brothers and sisters in the family, I was worried that we would be unhappy with my mother-in-law's dowry - for the sake of silver and wealth to make the family restless, that's not enough." When you say that, I'm relieved. ”
Liao Shaotang was grateful, took Zhou Chujin's hand and said, "No wonder the old people say that there is a good wife in the family, if there is a treasure." There are some things I don't want to hide from you, but I don't know how to talk to you...... My father sold all my mother's dowry in private. Brother Guan's 100-day gift, my mother wanted to find something good to give to Brother Guan, and I found out...... I didn't dare to publicize it, for fear of ruining my father's reputation, and my younger siblings would not be able to discuss their relatives. Now there are no good things in my mother's hands, and the eldest sister is at the age of getting married again...... Although her mother didn't say anything, since she could know the news that Cheng Jiashan was about to get married, she was afraid that she would go back to her parents' house to find her uncles...... Mother's life has been too hard! ”
Zhou Chujin simply did a good job to the end, and said: "Why don't you take the gold jewelry I married to the silver building and remelt it, and let my mother bring it back when the eldest sister gets married?" ”
"No, no." Zhou Shaotang hugged Zhou Chujin, "I am grateful that you can promise me to return the grange to my mother, how can I still move your dowry." No more! I, I will definitely fight for things and earn a grange back. ”
It is difficult to buy a husband and wife.
Zhou Chujin made up her mind that if her sister-in-law got married, she would send her a few sets of noodles by her mother-in-law to please her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
After breakfast, the couple went to greet Mrs. Liao.
Mrs. Liao didn't seem to have slept all night, and only when she saw Brother Guan, she would smile a little from the bottom of her heart.
Liao Shaotang glanced at Zhou Chujin.
Zhou Chujin knew that he was going to talk to Mrs. Liao about the Grange, so he found an excuse to retreat with his brother in his arms.
When Zhou Chujin returned to the hall, Mrs. Liao and Liao Shaotang's eyes were red, and Mrs. Liao even took Zhou Chujin's hand and said, "It's me who is sorry for you husband and wife." ”
"When my mother said this, I saw the outside, this is the filial piety of the father-in-law to you." Zhou Chujin grew up in Jiuru Lane, and is well versed in the way of pleasing the elders, and Mrs. Liao was emotionally moved by a few words, and said to Liao Shaotang in private: "I have always been a little worried that Chu Jin is the eldest daughter who lost her mother, but now it seems that I am a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Such a virtuous daughter-in-law, you should be kind to her in the future. ”
Liao Shaotang couldn't stop nodding, his eyes were full of smiles, and since then, the relationship with Zhou Shaojin has always been like when he first got married.
That's for another time.
After Zhou Chujin and Mrs. Liao sent Liao Shaotang away, they redressed themselves, hugged the official brother, and went to Yuqian Hutong in a sedan chair.
Li took Zhou Shaojin to greet him in front of the Hanging Flower Gate.
Mrs. Liao glanced left and right, and said with a smile: "Yushu Hutong is really close to Yuqian Hutong, and the in-laws and young ladies should often go to the door." ”
Li Shi was polite, and the group walked into the house.
Mrs. Liao was secretly surprised.
The house where Zhou Chujin lived was taken out of her body money, and she knew exactly how much money it had spent. This piece of Shuangyu Hutong and Yuqian Hutong is the best, relying on the Liubu and Guozijian to be the closest. She originally wanted to buy a house here, but eventually abandoned it because it was too expensive.
I didn't expect Zhou Zhen to have this ability, and bought a house for Zhou Shaojin in such a prosperous place.
Because this is a very long face, she also praised the Zhou family.
The Li family has the silver in his hand, and he has never paid much attention to the things in the silver, so he smiled when he heard this: "This is not what we always bought for the second lady. This was given to Shaojin by Mrs. Guo. Since the eldest aunt and grandmother got married, the second lady moved to live in the Hanbi Mountain House and was accompanied by Mrs. Guo. ”
I see!
She talked about Cheng Jiashan's marriage.
Zhou Chujin was going to find an opportunity to sue Zhou Shaojin, but she didn't think that her mother-in-law would say it in advance.
She immediately looked at Zhou Shaojin.
My sister's expression was really a little uneasy.
Zhou Chujin found an opportunity to say to Zhou Shaojin: "Don't worry. Uncle Chi has always felt sorry for you, you might as well find an excuse to stay at home when the time comes, and Uncle Chi will definitely help you intercede. ”
"I'm not worried about this!" Zhou Chujin said with a condensed expression, "Even if I follow my wife to watch the ceremony, I am just dealing with those ladies in the inner courtyard, is it okay for Mrs. Yuan to find trouble with me that day?" Can Cheng Xu still embarrass me? I'm worried about Mrs. Guo. Mrs. Yuan is like this, Mrs. Guo will definitely not come to the capital. Cheng Xu is the eldest grandson of her sister-in-law, and she didn't get married in her hometown and ran to the capital to get married, how uncomfortable her old man was! ”
Zhou Chujin didn't know what to say.
got the letter from the escort room 300 miles urgently, but Cheng Zheng was so angry that he closed the door and said to his nurse: "What's wrong with my mother?" Whose ecstasy soup was drunk, and he actually thought of letting Jiashan come to the capital to get married. And what about grandmother? What did the ancestor of the second room think? Jiashan hasn't gained momentum yet, so he looks like no one is in his eyes. In this way, Jiashan entered the cabinet and became the first assistant, so the eyes must not only see the sky? Who can ask for their presence? In this case, why should the people of the clan exalt Jiashan? Without the help of the clansmen, even if Jiashan has three heads and six arms, it will be difficult to open up a way. Otherwise, why did you let me marry into the Gu family and the second sister marry back to the Yuan family? Who is giving my mother an idea? ”
The nurse's expression was also a little solemn, and she said, "Grandma, did you write a letter to persuade Mrs. from going back, Mrs. listened to you the most." ”
Cheng Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid that my mother has been waiting for this day for a long time, and it is useless to write back!" I can't leave my husband and children alone for the sake of my mother's family, right? I can only help my mother's family if I have the respect of my mother-in-law, and I have not forgotten what my grandmother told me repeatedly when I got married! ”
The nurse said: "Do you want to ask the uncle's staff to help you run?" We can't just watch Madame and Old Madame go farther and farther away......"
Cheng Zheng was still a little hesitant.
The second letter of the dowry was delivered.
It was less than an hour since the first letter arrived......
Cheng Zheng glanced at the nurse in fear, and opened the letter tremblingly.
