Chapter 124: Listening
Old Madam Cui will be so decisive this time, and she will not leave the second Mrs. Cui with any leeway, it is all for a reason.
Cui Wanhua was about to enter the palace to be elected soon, and Mrs. Cui told Second Mrs. Cui early on, asking her, the head of the second room, to bring more money to the child.
At that time, Mrs. Cui also agreed very happily, but a few days ago, Mrs. Cui asked Cui Wanhua privately to find out that Mrs. Cui gave a total of 2,000 taels of silver tickets, and there was nothing on the side.
Although the second master Cui also made up 3,000 taels to the eldest daughter, but it was the son's private money, not the silver in the second room, the second lady Cui dealt with her stepdaughter like this, and even her mother-in-law's words were not taken to heart, how could Mrs. Cui swallow this breath?
You must know that in order for Cui Wanhua to enter the palace this time to be selected, Mrs. Cui alone took out three thousand taels of herself, as well as two sets of antique jewelry, three pieces of ancient jade and a box of pearls.
Although this jewelry and the like are all saved by the old man himself, the market value of silver is also a lot of value, and it is 10,000 yuan less than if you calculate it casually.
And Mr. Cui and his wife are not stingy, with a silver ticket of three thousand taels, eight jackets and skirts of the latest style of Lizi Pavilion, two sets of high-quality jade-inlaid jade inlaid treasure heads with fresh patterns in Xianbao Pavilion, plus two boxes of gold and silver nudes for rewarding people.
This grandmother and uncle have produced much more than serious parents, and I am afraid that people will laugh to death if they say it.
In line with the truth that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, Mrs. Cui covered her heart and couldn't say it, but she couldn't be aggrieved in her heart.
When Old Madam Cui thought of the embarrassing appearance of Second Mrs. Cui in the future, this breath in her heart disappeared a little.
"Hmph, let you concentrate on collecting money, and don't lose your hands on the Wanguan family wealth in Xifu, I want to take a look, you are just a girl, you don't even have a son, can you still bring our family's furniture into the coffin?" Mrs. Cui was happy in her heart, and her smile became more and more kind.
Because the children have to go to school, the second day is just for the two parents to meet, chat, enhance the relationship, and discuss the day of marriage by the way.
Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Cui have not seen each other when they went to the banquet before, but they are not very familiar with each other, and now the relationship between the two families is close because of the two little girls, and the two are very affectionate when they meet.
Everything was discussed very smoothly, but when she said that she would let Meng Yuele give tea to Cao Yunxiu's tablet, Mrs. Meng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw deep doubts from the bottom of each other's eyes.
Where is it good to ask in front of people? After getting into the carriage, Mrs. Cui couldn't help but say, "Isn't this the second Mrs. Cui here?" No matter how bad she is, she is always Qing'er's nominal mother, right? ”
"It's really rare to leave the living alone like this, and go to the dead to serve tea, we have also participated in a lot of such banquets, have you ever seen such a straight poke and slap in the face?"
Mrs. Meng is old and has experienced a lot, listening to her daughter-in-law's muttering, she is not in a hurry to express her opinions, but just caresses the edge of the table with her hand, lowers her eyes, and secretly recalls the past.
She remembered that no matter who she went to the banquet at in the past, as long as she met Mrs. Cui, the person who accompanied her was basically Mrs. Cui, and there was really no time when Mrs. Cui was followed by Mrs. Cui.
Thinking about Cui Wanqing's early wisdom and old age, Mrs. Meng is a little bottom in her heart.
She frowned and said to her daughter-in-law: "As the saying goes, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, let's marry the Cui family this time, although it was a little hasty, but as soon as Qing'er, this child helped our family resolve a big disaster and made up for the big mistake made by Le'er's child." ”
"Second, I see that the child is a knowledgeable person, and he knows the height of his eyebrows and eyes, and he has a docile temperament that advances and retreats, which just happens to be complementary to our family Le'er, with a sensible child like her, Le'er's disregard for the tail, I'm afraid there is still a good one."
What she will say is what she sees, the good side, and the bad side
Mrs. Meng frowned and stopped her mouth, took the tea cup on the table, lifted the lid of the cup, and gently skimmed the tea, but she didn't drink it, just looked at the rising heat and was silent.
Seeing that her mother-in-law was speechless when she said this, her brows furrowed tightly, Mrs. Meng couldn't help but sigh: "If there are many rights and wrongs in their family, it will inevitably implicate us, and at that time, what is the use of this Miss Cui Jiu no matter how good she is?" She's not our kid after all. ”
"This godfather, godfather, at best, it is said that the two families have married a good relationship, if this is bad, it is a life-threatening charm for our family."
When Mrs. Meng said this, she became more and more irritable, and couldn't help but reach out and pat the case, and scolded hatefully: "Speaking of which, it's not all to blame for the dead girl in our family who doesn't make people worry, this is only one time with people, and the one who goes on the pole wants to be sisters with others, you say, if we don't follow this word yesterday, how will it end?" ”
Mrs. Meng had just been thinking about it in her mind for a long time, but there were any relatives and friends who were familiar with the Ming'an Hou Mansion, and she hadn't heard her daughter-in-law's complaints at all.
Seeing that her daughter-in-law couldn't hold her breath anymore, she hated that iron was not made of steel, and she glanced at Mrs. Meng, turned her face and asked her mother behind her, "Which sister-in-law of our eldest lady is in contact with the Ming'an Hou Mansion?" I'm so old that I can't even remember it clearly. ”
Guan's mother replied with a smile: "Hehe, you really remember something, it's not our eldest lady, it's our second lady, the second aunt's sister-in-law and the second lady of Ming'an Houfu are concubines." ”
"The second lady of the Ming'an Hou Mansion married the eldest son of the county princess, and the slave maid heard the second miss of our family mention it a few times, it seems that they are still getting along well with each other, saying that this sister-in-law is a very sensible person, never taking the chief to talk about things, meddling in housework, but being upright."
"Why don't you go to Chong'an County Mansion for an old slave Ming'er? Miss Tuo Er helped to inquire, do you have a bottom in your heart? ”
When Mrs. Meng heard this, she couldn't suppress her anger, rubbed her handkerchief and said, "Then if it is not good to inquire, will it be possible to deny it?" These words have been spoken, who doesn't know that our old lady, who is a person who spits on a nail, where can we regret it? ”
"Who's going to go back on it? Qing'er's child is fine, why should the old body regret it? ”
"Bing Shuyun, knowing yourself and knowing that you are victorious in a hundred battles, you are also from the Jiangmen, or I am the one who pulled the big one, why don't you even understand this?" Mrs. Meng saw that her daughter-in-law saw that the wind was rain, and couldn't help but admonish, "I see that Le'er's frizzy temper is all from you." ”
"Look at you, no matter what you say, you fall in love with your head, how old you are, and you can't be stable yet, but fortunately, you are a blessed person, a few years ago, you had an old body to help you make ideas, and you have married a good daughter-in-law to help you over the years."
"I can tell you, you are all grandmothers, and it is just a scorpion sting in front of the old body, if it is still like this in front of the children, the old body can't be embarrassed with you."
"I'll tell you again now, although Zhi'er is also from a general, but she is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she is a good hand in the housekeeper director, you, discuss everything with her, don't take the idea yourself, you know?"
Mrs. Meng saw that her mother-in-law was a little angry, and quickly nodded yes, she was the niece of Mrs. Meng, her father died early on the battlefield, and her mother followed with a white silk, and was taken by Mrs. Meng as a daughter to raise as a daughter.
When he grew up, he simply made his eldest son a daughter-in-law, for fear that he would not be able to take care of him if he got married, which is said to be a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but in fact, it is no different from a mother and daughter.
What Mrs. Meng will say, isn't it all for her good?
Mrs. Meng was originally impatient to take care of the trivial things in the house, and she still looked like she was the housekeeper on the face, but in fact, it was Meng Zetian's wife who really presided over the housework.
So this Mrs. Meng is really a blessed person, even if ordinary people have both parents, it is difficult for them to have a smooth life in their mother-in-law's house, and she relies on her mother-in-law's support, and her husband is a childhood sweetheart, and she really hasn't suffered any grievances, how can she not make people envious?
Let's not mention the Meng family's side, how did they inquire about Cui Wanqing behind their backs, and in the blink of an eye, this first rest day is close at hand.
Cui Wanqing is not unconcerned about everything in Jinghui Academy, she has already met Zheng Xiuer two or three times, and this is the first time that Zheng Xiuer came to Cuiwei Garden in person.
Although she stayed for a short time every time she met, and her words were polite, she could still clearly feel that Zheng Xiuer's attitude towards her was very friendly, and some intimate tones and small movements showed that she wanted to be friends with her very much.
Even Mrs. Zheng also borrowed the hand of her daughter to give Cui Wanqing an object, although it is not a particularly valuable thing, it is basically made by Mrs. Zheng herself, from a silk veil embroidered with lilacs to a pillowcase embroidered with Pisces playing lotus, as well as embroidered shoes, sachets or something.
There are also some small and delicate silverware, some of which can be seen at a glance, are for children, and they can't even wear them, but if they are for their own children, is this too early?
Cui Wanqing took the embroidery work again, the same and the same carefully in his hand, these jobs are all from the hands of one person, but some of them are obviously done in a short time, and some are new.
Comparing the two, she couldn't help but think, could it be that Mrs. Zheng has always remembered herself in her heart?
Could it be that these small silverware were prepared to be given to me a few years ago, but for some reason, they could not be given away?
Moreover, until now, this Mrs. Zheng still does a few needlework for herself every year, and it has never changed? R1152
