Chapter 370: Mother and Son
"That's really thanks to the third brother and the third brother and sister." Wu hurriedly glanced at the maid standing beside him, and the maid immediately went to pick up the silver ticket sent by Tian's mother.
"Sister-in-law, then I won't bother you. Preparing family affairs for Brother Yun, and buying a dowry for Sister Liu, it is enough for the sister-in-law to be busy. If you need any help from the third room, don't open your mouth! Zhu said hello, and got up to go back.
"Okay, okay, the third brother and sister go slowly!" Wu also got up and sent Zhu to the door, and then turned around and went back to the house.
"Bring those two boxes, and I'll see!" Wu couldn't wait to enter the house and said to the maid.
After she opened the two wooden boxes, she looked at the number of silver tickets inside, and her face gradually became displeased.
In the evening, Uncle Liu came back from outside, and Wu's face was still not good-looking.
"What's wrong with you?" Uncle Liu sat down in the front of the hall, holding a string of beads in his hand and rubbing it.
"Hmph, today the third room is here to give us Brother Yun and Sister Liu'er gifts." Wu glanced at Uncle Liu.
"Oh? How much did you get for three rooms? Uncle Liu hurriedly leaned over and asked.
"I thought she would be so generous! but eight hundred taels of silver. Brother Yun is five hundred taels, and Sister Liu is three hundred taels! Wu said indignantly, "This is to treat us as poor relatives!" ”
Uncle Liu listened, and he was not very happy in his heart. In fact, eight hundred taels of silver is enough for them to spend more than half a year on a big house, but they all think that the Zhu family is so generous, so they really look down on themselves with such a little silver.
"When our brother Yun is prosperous in the future, don't look at their faces anymore!" Wu said angrily, "Although Sister Liu didn't marry into the royal family, the Jiang family is the grandfather of the third prince. Sister Liu's husband is the cousin of the third prince. ”
"The third child is a little stingy this time! However, he will soon be transferred to a field to take up his post. Uncle Liu said.
"Transfer?" Wu said in surprise, obviously not knowing yet.
"The third child has been promoted. It's just out there. Uncle Liu said.
The jealousy in Wu's eyes was even better, and he couldn't help but complain about Uncle Liu. This is also the content of their couple's frequent quarrels, and in the end, Uncle Liu brushed his sleeves and went to his aunt.
Wu was so angry that he thought about it, and felt uncomfortable, so he went to Rongde Hall.
The old lady of the long room finally regained her former complexion, because the two relatives in the big room were good, and she seemed very happy.
"What's wrong with you?" As soon as the old lady of the long room saw Wu's face, she knew that something was wrong.
"Mother, the third room came over today to give a gift." Wu pouted.
"But the suspect is missing?" The old lady of the long room said.
Wu puffed out his mouth and said, "It is said that the third brother and sister have too much money in their hands to spend it. I heard that when Sister Li came out of the pavilion, she gave her all the ordinary grange shops in her hand as a dowry. ”
"That's a piece of meat that fell from her! Your Brother Yun and Sister Liu are not her children, can they be the same? The old lady glanced at the Wu family, "Now that Brother Yun and the Liu family have become close, this is the best thing." You will also be a mother-in-law in the future, you must be clear in everything, don't let the daughter of the Liu family despise you! ”
Wu pouted, still unconvinced, he wanted to come to the old lady of the long room to talk about Zhu's gossip, but he didn't expect to be taught a few words by the old lady in turn.
"What? Didn't the old student say that? The old lady of the long room caught a glimpse of Wu's appearance and endured the helplessness in her heart.
"Aunt is right." Wu saw that the old lady of the long room was about to get angry, so he hurriedly said.
"For Brother Yun'er, as well as Sister Liu'er's body, the old student has prepared it early. The glass girl is out of the cabinet, but the old student has never given her a dowry! The old lady of the long room said, "Besides, when Sister Li came out of the pavilion, you didn't give any gifts, right?" ”
When the sentence was finally spoken, Wu immediately felt that his face was very hot again!
"You go back and prepare for Brother Yun'er's family affairs, as well as Sister Liu'er's dowry. These two things are done properly, and the big house is considered to be going up. The old lady narrowed her eyes and curled the corners of her mouth.
Wu got up, said goodbye and went back.
Not long after, Liu Sanye came to Rongde Hall and officially told the old lady of the long room about his transfer.
"The old lady looks much better, and the food is still delicious?" Liu Sanye sat on the side and said.
"I'm getting old, and every day is not as good as ever." The old lady of the long room said.
"Mother is in full bloom in spring and autumn, and she will inevitably be blessed in the future, and she will relax and raise her well. Is it that the sons are not doing their best? Liu Sanye said with a panicked face. He thought that this transfer and promotion was due to the role of Second Master Liu. And Second Master Liu is willing to help, it must have been told by the old lady of the long house.
Therefore, he is grateful to his biological mother who has always been close to him, but can only be regarded as an aunt.
"You've been transferred for two years?" The old lady asked kindly.
"Yes. The son wanted to do two things outside. Well done, let's see if we can be promoted back and serve by the old lady's side! Liu Sanye bowed his head and said.
The old lady of the long room nodded slightly with satisfaction, and her heart was comfortable. In the end, Liu Sanye also fell from a piece of meat from her, although he was raised by someone else.
"It's not in vain that you have survived all these years, it is the most difficult to rise from the sixth grade, and after passing this level, you can be regarded as a middle-grade official." The old lady of the long room spoke in a flat tone, without fluctuation.
"It's all brought up by my mother. If it weren't for the mother's thoughts about her son, the son would just eat at home and wait for death, and live in chaos, and the son would have to honor his mother. Liu Sanye said earnestly, "If one day, my son can be like the second brother...... And the son was satisfied! ”
The old lady of the long room was slightly moved, how could she not know the meaning of Liu Sanye's words, and sighed: "Back then, if it wasn't for your father's insistence on passing you to the third room, how could my mother be willing!" ”
After that, the corners of the old lady's eyes were slightly moist.
"The son is not filial, which makes the mother sad. If a son can one day give his mother another fate, it will be blessed by the ancestors. Liu Sanye is a promise.
"The one in Rongxi Hall is still there. You really have that day, and she will enjoy your blessing! The old lady of the long room narrowed her eyes, meaning authentically.
Liu Sanye rolled his eyes, lowered his head and said, "Although she raised her son, all her son thinks about is your mother." Now, she has done such ugly things herself, and her father and mother have spared her life, which is already benevolent and righteous. ”
This is also meaningful!
As he spoke, he looked around at Si Tuoba and couldn't help frowning: "Mother is too pure here!" The old ladies of ordinary people also eat fasting and chant Buddha, but they are also lively and lively, why should the mother be so self-suffering, if people see it, they still think that the sons are not filial. ”
"Since your father is gone, Lao Sheng has been much cleaner here. In addition, several sisters have left the cabinet, and no one comes on weekdays. The old lady of the long room sighed.
"It's all sons who are unfilial, and they can't control their daughters-in-law!" Liu Sanye heard the voice of the old lady in the long room, and hurriedly said.
"I don't blame you, I know your filial piety, and I don't have to blame your daughter-in-law, I'm not her serious mother-in-law, I don't have any score!" The old lady of the long house began to kick a little angrily.
"Mother is not to be angry. Zhu should have come to his mother more often. This time, the son was transferred out and only took Aunt Gu there. Zhu stayed at home, just to fulfill his filial piety in front of his mother for his son. Liu Sanye said.
"Well, you can go back. The old student is a little tired! Seeing that her goal had been achieved, the old lady of the long room closed her eyes and said in a weak voice.
"Yes. The son has gone back and will come back tomorrow to greet his mother. Liu Sanye said.
Out of Rongde Hall, Liu Sanye thought about it, and then raised his feet and went to Hengfang Courtyard.
At this moment, Zhu's body is very neat, and he is making dumplings in the house with Tian's mother and a few maids.
"Madam, if you want to eat dumplings, let the dining room bag be, what do you have to do yourself?" The maid Bai Lu asked while rolling the dough for the Zhu family.
"I'm not going to do anything, that's it." Zhu lowered his head and wrapped the dumplings and said, "When I was not out of the cabinet before, in the Dingguo Mansion, my mother said that the dumplings I made were barely okay. ”
As he spoke, Zhu laughed to himself.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Liu Sanye saw the way Zhu and the maids and women laughed through the window, and he didn't feel a little like a world away, he hadn't seen her such a gentle smile for a long time.
When the maids saw Liu Sanye walk in, they all hurriedly put away the smile on their faces and lowered their heads to do things.
When Zhu saw that Liu Sanye was coming, he had no choice but to say, "The third master is back, is dinner available?" ”
Liu Sanye saw that she had dumplings in her hands, so he said, "I haven't eaten them." It's been a long time since I've eaten the dumplings you made. ”
Zhu Shi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Doesn't the third master like to eat dumplings!" And the concubine body is also practicing hands, so I'm afraid that the taste will not be good. ”
Seeing her say this, Liu Sanye said, "What Mrs. eats for dinner, the master will use some of it." ”
Zhu nodded, and then gave a few orders to the maid on the side, all of which were usually eaten.
After Zhu washed his hands in the copper basin brought by the maid, he asked people to remove the dumplings on the table.
The couple sat there, a little embarrassed for a moment.
"After the master came back from the yamen, he went to the old lady!" Liu Sanye remembered the purpose and opened his mouth.
"Is the old lady well?" Zhu answered casually.
"The lady also goes to see the old lady once in a while!" Liu Sanye said, "The master will be transferred to take office in a few days, and she will not be able to fulfill her filial piety more and more." ”
Zhu glanced at Liu Sanye with a side face, and said sarcastically: "What does the third master mean, let the concubine go to the old lady's side to fulfill her filial piety?" ”
"As a daughter-in-law, shouldn't my wife be?" Liu Sanye frowned.
"Isn't the third master the son of the one in Rongxi Hall!" Zhu stepped forward and cross-examined, "When the concubine was bullied before, I didn't see the mother-in-law who said that it was the concubine. When Yan'er left the cabinet, she didn't see anyone adding makeup to her. ”
