Chapter 222: The Greeting Gift
On the day when the sixth room received the bride price from the man's family, two plates of blooming flowers were placed at the door of the courtyard of the sixth room. As for the flowers on the side of the road, Wen Chaohong clapped his hands after hearing it and said: "It's not a year, it's just that the man's family comes to the woman's house to discuss the dowry, do you need to put on such a posture of climbing up?" When did my daughter's family fall into such a low-profile situation? ”
Wen Chaohong just said this to Mrs. Wen in the big room, but there were many people serving in the room at that time, and this word spread out in a while. After Mrs. Wen Sixth and Wen Jieyi's mother and daughter heard the words, the faces of the mother and daughter turned red, they understood the meaning of Wen Chaohong's words, that is, they felt that they were acting in a high-profile manner, but they lost the face of Wenfu. Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi, the two people in charge, were willing to deal with it like this, but in order to make the face of Mrs. Wen Sixth and Wen Jieyi better, they decided to send two plates of flowers to be placed at the door of the courtyard of the sixth room.
Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi sisters have a tacit understanding, Wen Jiayi's temperament is gentle and good at communicating with people, and she speaks directly when arranging work, and Wen Chunyi is decisive and clear, suitable for the person who makes the final decision. Wenfu has always had no major incidents, and the stewards have always been accustomed to living a peaceful life. Mrs. Wen Liu and Wen Jieyi were silent for a few days, and Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi both felt that the days were much more relaxed. At the end of the month, the two sisters checked the accounts in the house and explained to Mrs. Wen what they had done recently, and the two mentioned that they had not seen Grandma Wen for some days and wanted to go to the village to meet her.
Mrs. Wen agreed with a smile, but it also showed that after they came back, there would be no major events in the mansion at the beginning of the month. She also wanted to go to Zhuangzi for a few days to relax. Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi both looked at her with some hesitation, and with Mrs. Wen sitting in Wenfu, the two of them felt much more relaxed from their hearts. Mrs. Wen understood the thoughts of the two of them, and said with a smile: "As long as you are fair and abide by the rules, and you can't make a decision in case of emergency, you can go and ask your grandmother to deal with it." Or go directly to your fifth aunt to take the opinion. ”
Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi both heard that Mrs. Wen had made up her mind, and they couldn't allow them to object, so they had to nod their heads and accept it. On the morning of the second day, Wen Xiuhua deliberately sent them to Zhuangzi early, and he had to return to the official hall as soon as possible to do things. The carriage stopped at the gate of Zhuangzi. The lady in charge beside Grandma Wen had already come out. Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi picked up the things in the car, Wen Xiuhua had already told the carriage to hurry back, and only explained that he would come to pick them up in the afternoon. Tomorrow he rests. I will come to stay in Zhuangzi tonight.
Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi are housekeepers for some days. It is already known that this Zhuangzi is the dowry of Mrs. Wenda, and it is a private mansion of a large house. Wen Xiuhua usually treats his younger siblings with a brother's posture, and the two little women never thought that he would be such a considerate brother. Send them in early and pick them up in and out in the evening. They came to Zhuangzi, which made the eldest brother work so hard, and the two little women were a little embarrassed when they faced Wen Da Shao's grandmother. Wen Da Shao's grandmother's face was ruddy and shiny, and she clearly lived comfortably in Zhuangzi. When the two children saw the two little women, they pestered them and called their aunts.
The two little women were besieged by the two little nephews like this, and immediately their faces bloomed, and the two hurriedly took out all kinds of food from their baggage. The lady in charge took it with a smile and said, "Miss Sixteen, Miss Eighteen, the two young masters did not eat much this morning, and the young grandmother punished them not to eat snacks." Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi looked at the two little brothers with helpless expressions, the two of them waved their hands, and Wen Jiayi said to the little brothers: "You have to listen to your mother, and your eighteenth aunt and I must also listen to your mother, she is our eldest sister-in-law." ”
The two children looked at Wen Chunyi with a disappointed expression, and saw that she nodded the same, and the little brother only begged for mercy around Wen Da and Young Grandma and said, "Mother, you can let us loose once, the snacks brought by Aunt Sixteen and Aunt Eighteen will smell fragrant." Wen Da Young Grandma had a smile in her eyes, and her mouth still retorted: "Brother Can, Brother Shuo, my mother said that people are always responsible for what they do." You eat a lot of Chinese food, and I will allow you to have a snack in the afternoon. "Old lady Wen is about the older she gets, the more she likes bright things.
The names of Wen Xiuhua's three sons have all been given radiant names, and the eldest directly named him 'Yao', and it just so happened that the word in their generation was 'Ji', and the names of Wen Xiuhua's three sons became Jiyao, Jican, and Jishuo. I heard that there was a child in the womb of Grandma Wen, and the old lady Wen had already thought of a name, and both men and women named it with the word 'Xi'. However, Old Lady Wen's thoughts now are all on the great-grandson of Changfang, Wen Jiyao often walks around in front of him, and these two children are often brought to him to get close.
Wen Chunyi is often glad that Wen Da Shao's grandmother has a deep relationship with her heirs, otherwise as the eldest daughter-in-law of the family, this errand will be a lot of pressure. No wonder Mrs. Wen had to tolerate Wen Chaohong's romance when she was young, and she really suffered a big loss for her heirs. I heard that the mother of the grandmother is a person who has many sons and many blessings, her sons have four daughters and two daughters, the sons are all smart and promising, the two daughters are well educated, and they are married to the eldest son of the family, and I heard that there were many people who asked to marry back then. Wen Xiuhua was able to enter the eyes of the parents of the eldest and youngest grandmothers because Mrs. Wen said by chance that she would not interfere in the affairs of her son's room in the future.
In this era, the mother-in-law is a piece of the sky on the daughter-in-law's head, and whether it will be sunny or rainy depends on their mood. Wen Da Shao's grandmother's mother has been a daughter-in-law for many years, how can she not know the importance of having a good mother-in-law, and sometimes it is better than that man's character. Wen Da Shao's grandmother's mother picked Wen Xiuhua, the eldest son who did not show personality in the family, and saw that he would not have the character of being a high-ranking official in the future, so he could only be a member of the family. Sure enough, after Grandma Wen got married, Mrs. Wen did her duty, never interfered in the affairs of her son's room, and treated her daughter-in-law like her own daughter.
Grandma Wen's mother followed Grandma Wen in charge of the Wen Mansion, but her son-in-law's room has been quiet and consistent, her vision has been proven again and again, and she can speak in front of her four daughters-in-law. Wen Xiubai's family affairs, so he has been repeatedly favored by the outside world, and everyone thinks that there is a brother like this, and his brother can't go wrong. No matter what, Wenfu is a place where people live in six rooms, and it is natural for people to have mixed minds. After the long-term settlement of the six rooms, there is a stage of running-in. And Wen Da Shao's grandmother was pregnant at this time, and her mother's family was in a hurry, and Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi were sent by the substitutes.
The weather is already relatively warm, the greenery in the Zhuangzi is deep, and Wen Da and the young grandmother sit comfortably in the yard, watching Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi teach the two children to read and write. The carriage sounded outside Zhuangzi, and the woman in charge greeted her with a smile, and brought in a middle-aged woman dressed solemnly. Wen Jiayi sisters naturally stood up to greet the guests, and the two little brothers had already happily thrown into the arms of the middle-aged woman, and shouted happily: "Auntie, you are here, are the brothers and sisters still outside the door?" ”
The two children were about to run out of the door with joy, but they were stopped by the middle-aged woman and said with a smile: "Brother Can, Brother Shuo, my brothers and sisters did not come today, they will come to see you tomorrow." Although the two children seemed a little disappointed, they were still more sensible children, and obediently retreated. The middle-aged woman was followed by the women who were full of things, and the young grandmother said with some disgust: "Sister-in-law, there is everything in the Zhuangzi, and you have brought so many things here." Today, the two sisters-in-law came to see me, and they also brought a lot of things, and when you go back later, you must help carry some back to use. ”
Wen Da and the young grandmother introduced the two people, and the middle-aged woman took off the jade ring in her hand with a smile, put it on Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi's hands, and said in her mouth: "I am happy when I see you, this is my gift to you." Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi dared to accept such a valuable gift, and hurriedly refused, Wen Da and Young Grandma smiled and watched them push back and forth, and said: "Sixteen, eighteen, you just bear it, my sister-in-law is a straightforward person, this is like you, so I will allow you such a gift." Don't believe it, look at the jade ring on her wrist, I only hate that I have one less daughter, and I can't get such a meeting gift every time we meet. ”
Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi actually noticed that their sister-in-law had multiple jade rings on her wrists, which would only feel complicated if she had to put it in someone else's hand, and she was naturally generous when she wore it. When they heard the young grandmother say this, they were embarrassed to refuse, and the two saluted and thanked their sister-in-law. The sister-in-law looked at the two of them and said to Grandma Wen: "Sister-in-law, your two sisters-in-law are moving and quiet, and they just cooperate very well." I see that the two of them have good personalities, are they close to each other? When Wen Jiayi and Wen Chunyi heard this topic, the two hurriedly flashed into the distance, and by the way, they called the two children out of the Zhuangzi Gate together.
Grandma Wen looked at her sister-in-law with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, my two sisters-in-law are not ignorant people, you have something to say to me, you don't need to mention their family affairs to shame them." The middle-aged woman looked at Grandma Wen with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, I, a person from a businessman, have a lot of eyes from your scholarly family." Why did they come so suddenly today, didn't they say they would come two days late? Grandma Wen smiled and handed the notebook to her sister-in-law and said, "Two days in the morning and two days in the evening, they will come to see me, my own family, so I can use those taboos." They housed them for a few days, wrote down some things, and showed them to me. (To be continued......)
