Chapter Ninety-Eight: Crystal Clear
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the weather is clear, and it is a good day to welcome guests. Wenfu was lively early, and the people in the fourth room followed him to the main courtyard early. Jin greeted Wen Chunyi and said, "Xueduo, after you and we go to greet your grandmother, go to the big room with your sisters, and look at your sister-in-law's place, if there is anything you want to do." ”
On such a big day, Mrs. Wen usually comes out to meet relatives and friends. At the New Year's reunion dinner, the Jin family had the opportunity to take a closer look at the old lady Wen's complexion, which was not as rosy as before, and he knew that his body was not as good as before. Mrs. Wen obviously saw Wen Chunyi who asked for peace, and when she gave the junior a red envelope, she still missed her. Some people's prejudices about people have nothing to do with whether they are good or bad, but they have no relationship with each other, and they are close but can't match the relationship between passers-by. Hearing that the old lady doesn't like the eyes and smells the spring, this knot can't be untied. She may have been angry in those eyes before, but then she became accustomed to cold treatment.
Jin was worried that Wen Chunyi would hinder Mrs. Wen's eyes, and now at this time, more things are better than less things, just do your filial piety, and there is no need to wait in place and not move. Wen Chunyi's eyebrows moved, and she nodded her head in response, she didn't have to wait to be a wooden man in the hall, which was exactly her wish. In the big room, she can still breathe a sigh of relief, she is the one who will never be able to hinder the eyes of the eldest sister-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law treats her younger siblings kindly, and the younger siblings are also willing to get close to her, not to mention that the eldest nephew is now a good time to play. Wen Chunyi glanced back at Wen Xiujie, who was being held by the servant, and reminded the Jin family: "Mother, I will take Brother Jiejie to play with my eldest nephew." ”
Jin glanced at her, and looked back at Wen Xiujie, who was looking around curiously with wide eyes. The little head was tilting hard to its side. She smiled and shook her head lightly and said, "I carried him out to meet the guest, and after a while he was tired, I carried him back to rest." Jin was also impatient to face those ladies who did not have her in their eyes, and with Wen Xiujie's young age, she was able to return to her comfortable room early. The people in the fourth room, following behind the people in the third room, entered the hall to greet the old lady Wen and his wife who sat in the main seat, Wen Chunyi waited on the side for a while, and then followed the crowd and then exited the hall with a very eye-catching look.
Out of the hall door, she breathed a sigh of relief. Wen Xinyi whispered to her and Wen Xueyi yesterday. Today, she will set up a banquet in her own small courtyard to entertain the sisters who have made good friends, and only set up two small tables, so that the sisters can relax and live happily once. Wen Xinyi wants to get married after the New Year. Mrs. Wen also treated her loosely. Her request had already been granted. Wen Chunyi walked to the big house. From time to time, look back to see where you came from. Wen Xueyi whispered to her that she wanted her to walk slowly, and they went to the big house together. Wen Chunyi tilted his head. Before turning around and walking again, he almost ran into the oncoming crowd.
She bowed her head and retreated to the side of the road, all the people who came to Wenfu today were relatives and friends, the reputation of the eighteenth lady of Wenfu was spread outside, and Wen Chunyi didn't mind adding a few more strokes. Anyway, reputation is really nothing to her who wants to live a free life as an ordinary person in the future. Wen Chunyi's eyebrows could see the place, and all kinds of splendid skirts moved gently in front of her, and many skirts were swept across the ground. Seeing the spring and sighing secretly, this family has a lot of silver, and there is no need to show off the splendid fabric as a mop.
Wen Chunyi waited for them to walk quickly in front of them, but not everyone in this group was so eye-catching, and a few of them floated directly in front of Wen Chunyi. Wen Chunyi had to raise her eyes to look over, she saw several delicate little women of the Xu family, staring at her with a mocking smile on their faces, among them was full of gold and silver, wearing clothes like the bride's wedding dress, the most scathing little woman, she smiled and said: "Miss Eighteen, you are so unpopular, you can't even stay in your own hall, and you were driven out early." ”
Wen Chunyi's eyebrows raised, remembering Mrs. Wen's much older face, she continued to lower her eyebrows. Wen Chaoqing and the Jin family reminded her sooner or later these days that she must endure her anger for a while, and easily don't go to confront the people of the Xu Mansion. almost didn't say it explicitly, if the people of the Xu Mansion didn't give up, they would make trouble in front of Mrs. Wen, and if the old lady Wen who was not in good health got angry, she would be a sinner in the house. The little women of the Xu Mansion, all of them are very eye-catching people, and they naturally saw Wen Chunyi's look of concession, and their eyes flashed with obvious smugness.
"You are the life of a landed chicken, and you will never be a phoenix." Wen Chunyi heard this, and secretly scolded the ladies of the Xu Mansion in his heart, you fucking the women of the Mansion are the chickens, and the people who put it well don't do it, they want to be animals, isn't there something obviously wrong? After Wen Chunyi secretly fought back in his heart, his eyebrows and eyes were flattened, listening to these little women fighting her. Anyway, they just move their mouths, and they don't use their hands, so listen to it. "Look at your eyebrows, you were born with the appearance of a fox spirit, no wonder you are not loved." Wen Chunyi frowned when he heard this, when will the fox spirit not attract love, obviously men love it when they see it.
Wenfu has a lot of guests today, at first everyone thought that the little women gathered in one place to get close, and then some sharp-eyed ladies saw that something was wrong. The ladies of the Xu Mansion were clearly accusing her of surrounding the Miss of the Wen Mansion, and the Miss of the Wen Mansion kept her head down, and she felt that the little woman was helpless. Wen Chunyi raised her eyebrows, looked back and forth on the road, and saw the friendliness in the eyes of the ladies who looked back, she smiled slightly and nodded to them, she would never refuse the kindness of others to treat her. The young ladies of the Xu Mansion were red with anger, and Wen Eighteen dared to ignore them.
Wen Chunyi was able to take care of her daily life early on, she saw that the expressions of the young ladies of the Xu Mansion were wrong, she turned her waist and turned out of the gap between them, and said with a smile: "Sisters, it's not too early, let's go our own way." Wen Chunyi already felt that Wen Xueyi was about to be left behind, so she better go to the big room by herself, so as not to delay outside for a long time, and see more people in Xu Mansion. Right now, she can't commit a crime against the wind, she heard that the old lady's body is not good, how can she not add some problems because of her ignorant granddaughter, as for the people of the Xu Mansion, it is none of her business.
Wen Chunyi shook her hand and walked away, she had already been patient and was surrounded by the ladies of the Xu Mansion for a while, whether it was everyone's face, or the rules and reasonableness, she could be regarded as reasonable to the public, not to mention that there were so many witnesses. Several ladies of the Zhong family stood in the distance talking with a smile, and Second Lady Zhong frowned and said, "I see that the little eighteen of the Wen Mansion are fine, and after dealing with it for a while, everyone can see her grievances." The young ladies of the Xu Mansion are getting more and more unable to act on the stage, and I went back to tell my mother's family that I can't let the family members marry Miss Xu Fu, which will harm future generations. ”
Mrs. Zhong glanced at her warily and said, "You, you are just too straightforward and have a good idea, so you don't need to say it." If you overhear this, it will cause trouble for your aunt and grandmother. Second Mrs. Zhong laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, don't I look at my own family? I wouldn't say such a thing in front of others. Mrs. Zhong knew her temperament, she shook her head lightly and said: "The young ladies of the Xu Mansion are stronger than the young masters, and the young masters must have their hearts, so why should the Xu Mansion live like this." "There is no man in Xu Mansion who can run a business, which is a well-known thing in Anseong.
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhong San smiled and said: "I see, it's all for the women who marry out, and the masters of the mother's family are used to being like this. has married into her husband's family, and her mother's family has brothers, so don't worry about her mother's family from time to time, so that all the men can't straighten their waists, and after a long time, they naturally can't support things. Several ladies of the Zhong family and other close ladies came to talk about the excitement of the New Year in each family, and casually mentioned the affairs of the children in the family. Everyone has the opportunity to meet several times a year, and every time they meet, they feel that they have a lot to say to each other.
Wen Chunyi walked into Wen Xinyi's yard and saw her walking around the room alone, she went over and pulled her and asked, "Third sister, what are you looking for?" You name it, and I'll help you find it. Wen Xinyi looked at her with some embarrassment and said, "Spring, I prepared handmade sachets and handkerchiefs for the sisters as gifts. I just took it out, but I can't find where to put it this time? Wen Chunyi listened to the movement outside, and said with a smile: "Third sister, the guests will not come early like me." I'll help you find it, and I'll find it soon. ”
People are most likely to make the situation of being in the dark, Wen Chunyi followed Wen Xinyi to the back room, and found the bamboo basket with sachets and handkerchiefs on the windowsill. Wen Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It turns out that I lifted the bamboo basket out of the basket, and I don't know how when, I casually brought it in again, no wonder I searched outside several times, but I didn't find it." Wen Chunyi saw that Wen Xinyi was cautious about the banquet sisters, and she smiled and accompanied her to talk in the room and soothed. Wen Xinyi looked at her little cousin with calm eyebrows, and listened to her come out to chat with her, she smiled and said, "Chunyi, do you want to pick up two things that you like first?" ”
Wen Chunyi shook his head lightly and said, "Third sister, what tricks do I want to like, I can wait for the people to disperse, and then ask the third sister." Wen Chunyi felt that Wen Xinyi set up two tables to entertain guests, but she was afraid that the number of people who came would exceed her setting, they were all young women, and it was the time to play, and there would be no fewer people who came to find the excitement. It's just that this kind of thing, since Mrs. Wen ended up in the back, she can't help but this kind of idleness. Wen Chunyi has a deep understanding of Mrs. Wen's wisdom, and as she learns to manage affairs with her these days, she once again has a deep understanding.
She really couldn't figure out why her uncle didn't look at that stupid person, so he let go of the treasure in his hand early and picked up some garbage women to accompany him. In Mrs. Wen's eyes, there is no Wen Chaohong anymore, and there is no such person in her heart a few years ago. After Wen Chaohong had exhausted thousands of sails, he couldn't find the most suitable person, and he looked back and thought of the person he had lost earlier. It's a pity that some things can be picked up again, but after the human heart is lost, even after hard work, it can be picked up again, and it is no longer the crystal clear heart of the year.
