Chapter 246: Estimate
In the blink of an eye, a few days have passed, Wen Mansion has been calm, Wen Chaoqing and Jin's mentality has recovered, and their expressions are much calmer. Wen Chunyi is not yet old, and they still have time to plan carefully for their daughter. It's just that the day of his son's study tour is close to the moment, and his affairs are the top priority at present.
Jin pulled Wen Chunyi in the room and hurriedly did the needlework for Wen Xiuyu. Her mouth muttered: "I used to say that I was going to travel in the spring, why did I rush so quickly, before the New Year was over, people were about to hit the road." I heard that where your brother went, the weather there was warm, and you had to make a few more spring and autumn clothes. Kim thought that her son would be gone for a year, and she really couldn't feel at ease. Wen Chunyi listened to Jin's words, and had to comfort her: "Mother, my brother is traveling with the people of the Minggu Dart Bureau, and it is the safest." I heard that Mr. entrusted someone to catch the first trip to the team. ”
The Nagoo dart game is the most famous dart game in Anseong, and the darts they protect can generally reach their destination on time, except for natural disasters. Relatively speaking, the business of the Nagoku Dart Bureau is thriving, and it is generally necessary to queue up in advance to place a deposit to set a date. Wen Xiuyu and his entourage, who were able to catch the tailwind team, still borrowed his husband's name. Jin Shi looked at Wen Chunyi, who had a calm expression, thought about it and sighed and said, "Your brother has never really left my side, and I have no peace in my heart." Wen Chunyi didn't know how to persuade him, this person was still at home, and the Jin family was already so reluctant, and when Wen Xiuyu traveled, wouldn't she have to cry every day.
Wen Chunyi could only bow his head and hurriedly do needlework, in recent years. There are many things in the house, and there are not many hours when she can accompany the Kim family. Grandma Wen never let go of the housework to the concubines in the next room, but she was relieved that Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi were two. Wen Chunyi actually understood her thoughts, she was already a concubine in the next room, and she would go out to concubine in the future, so why let them get involved in the affairs of the house. And Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi, the two little women, are a little different, she evokes it easily, uses it well, and these two people also believe her.
Wen Er's grandmother is also different from Mrs. Wen's temperament. On the contrary, she is happy to live in Wenfu regardless of Pepsi. Dedicated to nurturing the children born. In the past year, Wen Xiuxuan has added a delicate concubine to her side, and I heard that it was a caring person sent by Mrs. Wen. Grandma Wen Er is a virtuous person, and she is very willing to have one more person to serve Wen Xiuxuan. It's just that she rarely takes the time to serve Mrs. Wen in person. Usually send that concubine to Wen Lao Madame to do her filial piety on her behalf. Second Mrs. Wen was very happy that her eldest son and daughter-in-law were so knowledgeable. She waited for her son's concubine. I'm definitely more than happy to arrange for her to do some chores.
Wen Chunyi doesn't like to hear about the elimination of the second room, but there are many things in the second lady's room. A while ago, Wen Xiuyuan and his wife went to say hello to Mrs. Wen. provoked the old lady's heart to open up, and gave the fourth grandson a delicate and pitying girl. Wen Xiuyuan was willing to accept such a person by his side, and Wen Sishao's grandmother drank a teapot of vinegar. Since then, Grandma Wen Si has used all kinds of excuses to refuse to go to Mrs. Wen to ask for peace. When Grandma Wen heard these things, she would always smile sarcastically and say, "Grandmother loves her grandsons, and grandchildren are filial to their grandmothers." ”
Wen Chunyi came to learn the arrangement of human relations with Wen Da Shao's grandmother, and sometimes from a small place, he could understand Wen Da Shao's intentions. Grandma Wen said with a smile: "The closer you are to the family, the more you have to arrange the gifts you send during the New Year." The best gift is to give something to someone else, not to the value of the object. When you put your heart into it, things are not expensive, and they are better than all kinds of calculations. "Gift-giving is a science, which can be sent into the owner's mind and increase the closeness of the two families. And if you give the wrong gift, I heard that you can become an enemy if you are not careful.
Wen Xiuyu came back early this day, and when he came to greet the Jin family, Wen Chunyi suddenly relaxed, and he still needed to tie the bell to the bell. No one can comfort and soothe Jin's heart more than Wen Xiuyu's words. Wen Chunyi took advantage of the situation and went to the big house. In the main hall of the big room, Mrs. Wen and Grandma Wen were talking, and the lady in charge was accompanying them. Mrs. Wen inquired about the arrangements for the New Year, a year ago, Wenfu had to hold a banquet, and the things were complicated and the personnel were not effective. Grandma Wen told Mrs. Wen about the personnel arrangement, and she shook her head and said, "Fortunately, our house is not as arranged as Tianfu, and we only have one lunch dinner." ”
Tianfu is a big family to afford such expenses, and Wenfu has such a family scene, which can only be leveled off by this kind of expenses. When the eldest grandmother heard the words of the eldest lady, she laughed and said: "Mother, the gentlemen in our house don't like to watch dramas, so naturally there is no need to raise a troupe for this." Tianfu is a gentleman who likes to watch plays, and his wife likes it, so he needs such an expense. Mrs. Wen still shook her head lightly and said: "The situation in each house is different, the Tianfu masters are different from the masters in our houses in Shitu Road, their shopping malls are proud, and the mansions can support such a large table." ”
Wenfu took Qinggui Road, while Tianfu took Qingyun Road, the two roads were roughly the same direction, but the roads were different. Mrs. Wen and Grandma Wen were talking, and they exchanged the people they were going to and the people they were going to bring. Wen Jiayi also needs to follow them out more to increase the attention of her husbands, and after she marries into her husband's family in the future, it will not be a mess of black when she comes out to socialize. Wen Chunyi wants to take it out for everyone to see, there is such a little woman's storage in Wenfu, and in terms of family affairs in the future, others will also have a reason to inquire clearly. Grandma Wen said hesitantly: "Mother, the Shang family invited us to be guests this time, and specially named the sixteenth and eighteenth people. ”
Mrs. Wen smiled and nodded, "We took them out, and the ladies who have eyes know that we will often take them out until their family affairs are decided." "Grandma Wen is not an eventful person, since Mrs. Wen has made a decision in her heart, she nodded silently. Wen Chunyi went to the courtyard of the big house, she first went to find Wen Jiayi to speak, and saw her boring expression, embroidering a handkerchief in the room. Wen Jiayi happily welcomed Wen Chunyi into the room, and Wen Chunyi took a look at the pattern of Wen Jiayi's needlework basket, which was full of some flowers blooming and rich, icing on the cake.
Wen Chunyi understood at a glance that this was a gift for her husband to prepare for her peers. Every sister-in-law in Wenfu marries in, and the next day they recognize their relatives, and the sisters-in-law will receive two handkerchiefs made by the new sister-in-law. In each house, almost all of them are in the same house for several generations, that is, it is not a house for several generations, and the newcomers also have to take the time to visit the relatives of the same clan. There are more than ten sisters-in-law in a mansion, which is not a strange thing. Today's brides usually prepare these items early. Not to mention that Wen Jiayi has to do such a job, even Wen Chunyi has to make these things idly now, in case he doesn't have to rush to work when the time comes.
In this era, breaking some of Wen Chunyi's stubborn cognitions, at least the bride recognized her relatives, and the thinness of the gift surprised her. Wen Xueyi once explained to her with a smile: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, the new sister-in-law has other gifts for them with her own back. Ordinary brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, and sisters-in-law should pay attention to them one by one, and there are so many dowry objects from their mother's family. Wen Chunyi therefore understands the difference between intimacy and intimacy. Wen Jiayi saw Wen Chunyi's eyes, her face turned crimson, and she muttered in a low voice: "Eighteen sister, when you are idle on weekdays, you should also make more of these objects." ”
Of course, Wen Chunyi knew that Wen Jiayi was funny, and she said with a smile: "Sixteenth sister, I have made many high-level pattern handkerchiefs, which can be used by brothers on weekdays. Just a few tricks from you, do you have any tricks to show me? Wen Jia said that Wen Chunyi could listen to her words, and she smiled and said, "I have an extra trick to describe, just for you." I also made more than 30 of the tricks you said, and I asked my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law said that it should be enough. "Grandma Wen knows the general situation of Wen Jiayi's future husband's family, she said enough, it must be enough and there is a little leeway.
Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi were talking in the room, and soon the big girl next to her came over and whispered to Wen Jiayi. Wen Jiayi stood up with a smile and said, "Eighteen, let's see my mother and sister-in-law go." As soon as Wen Chunyi heard it, she understood that Mrs. Wen and Grandma Wen had free time at the moment, and she and Wen Jiayi walked out quickly. Mrs. Wen and Grandma Wen listened to the footsteps of the two girls approaching, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and smiled. Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi walked in, and after saluting the people sitting on the main seat, under the signal of Mrs. Wen, the two sat down below.
Mrs. Wen and Grandma Wen took them out twice, Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi's expressions were good, in the face of everyone's eyes, they were not ostentatious or afraid, and they acted in a downright and generous manner. Wen Jiayi glanced at the person sitting on the main seat, and she said, "Mother, sister-in-law, Eighteen and I want to come and ask, is there anything we can do at the banquet in the house?" Wen Chunyi nodded silently on the side, and after Mrs. Wen saw it, she showed a warm smile on her face, she was quite satisfied with Wen Jiayi's demeanor as a sister.
Grandma Wen smiled and said, "Since there is a matter of the two of you, you still act according to the previous arrangement." There are only a few sisters in the house, and the two of you should be more attentive. Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi nodded with a cautious expression, Wen Sanshao's grandmother in the big room couldn't take care of it, Wen Xiubai had never married, and Wen Dashao's grandmother couldn't find a suitable helper. Wen Da Shao's grandmother mentioned the arrangements for the day's events again, and Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi wrote down her points very carefully. Mrs. Wen said with a smile on the side: "It's almost the New Year's Festival, and there are many things in each family, and the guests who came that day may come less than we estimated." ”
The four of them were talking in the room, and suddenly heard the noise outside, Mrs. Wen and Grandma Wen sank their faces, and Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi had a look of surprise. (To be continued......)
