Chu Yu sat in front of the dresser, thinking so engrossedly that he didn't even hear Cao Hao come in.

Xiyun sat on the small pestle by the kang outside and took a nap, and when he saw Cao Hao coming in, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Forehead." ”

Chu Yu listened to Xiyun's voice, then he came to his senses, got up and came out of the room, looked at Cao Hao, and stopped talking a little.

Now it is the cold winter wax moon, Cao Hao also drank several glasses of wine, and went outside to see off the guests, seeing the wind. The room was warm and warm, and when it was cold and hot, he sneezed heavily.

Chu Yu hurriedly got up and instructed Xiyun to call someone to bring hot water and sobering soup.

Cao Hao saw that she was a little unenergetic, and said: "Even if you are tired, you should settle it earlier, and it is really hard to see how busy you are in the two mansions." ”

Chu Yu stepped forward to serve Cao Hao and took off his coat, and said with a smile: "When I just came back from my wife's room, I rested for a while, and I was not very sleepy. ”

It was already late at night, Cao Hao finished washing, and went into the bedroom with Chu Yu.

On the dresser, there is a coral collar on the bright side. Cao Hao looked familiar, and when he stepped in, he saw that it was still a meeting gift given by his mother when Chu Yu went to Jiangning with him before the big day.

The collar is made of gold inlaid coral, the coral is divided into eight segments, separated by tired silk inlaid coral beads, and the left and right ends are crested with tired silk inlaid pearls. The collar is red and yellow, and it looks very luxurious and rich.

Because this collar was given by the Li family, Chu Yu has always cherished it and rarely takes it out to wear it. She also once said that she should put away her good life, marry Tianhui in the future, and use this to add makeup to her daughter.

Cao Hao sat down on the kang, pointed to the dresser, and said, "Why did you remember to find it?" But it's the clothes that look very festive. ”

Chu Yu stood in front of the dresser, rubbed the collar, hesitated, and said, "Forehead, this is built-in...... There is an inward imprint......"

The futon on the kang had been laid, and Cao Hao took off his boots and fell on the kang, feeling a little tired.

After listening to Chu Yu's words, Cao Hao didn't take it to heart, and replied casually: "Well, what is made in the house is made in the inside, maybe it was given by the palace in the early years, and it is not a rare thing, don't be reluctant to use it." ”

"Forehead, although there are also those made inside the palace and given to the outside of the palace, I have never heard of such a delicate one. In addition to this collar, I also saw my sister wearing a bracelet during the day, which was also made inside. Listening to the third sister gossiping with her sister, she said that the bracelet was given by his wife, and that it was his wife's dowry. Speaking of this, Chu Yu paused and said, "The bracelet...... Chu Yu has seen a pair of similar ......"

Cao Haoyuan hadn't paid attention yet, closed his eyes and recuperated on the kang, but when he heard the end, he opened his eyes: "Where have you seen it?" Who wears it? ”

"Second Bellor's wife, Tana Gege." Chu Yu pondered for a while and said.

Tana? Kangxi's granddaughter, the daughter of Princess Rongxian, and Chu Yu's cousin. Cao Hao remembered the box of gold bills received on the grassland in the early years, and Chu Yu continued: "It was a few years ago, on Concubine Yi's birthday, Tana Gege brought a pair of Qibao bracelets. At that time, Concubine Yi also deliberately praised a few words. Listening to Tana Gege, the bracelet was worn by the second aunt in her early years. ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he felt his heart move.

Although there are many things created inside the palace and given outside the palace, it is curious to see what the truth is about the same thing as the noble princess.

Even the little monk who grew up in Buddhism since he was a child, when he saw the lonely widows on the streets, he could think of who his parents were who abandoned him. On the Li family's side, do you know that she is not the daughter of the Li family?

Seeing the look of surprise on Cao Hao's face, Chu Yu felt that something was wrong.

Regardless of whether this thing was given by the palace or how it came about, it is related to the elders, so it is really hard to say.

There was a flannel cloth under the collar, she wrapped the collar carefully, and the dresser took a sandalwood box and put it up, and said, "Look at me, I'm really confused, let's talk about this plainly." ”

Cao Hao said: "It's strange late, let's lie down on the kang!" ”

Chu Yu nodded, put down his hair on the dresser, went to the clothes outside, and got up to the kang.

Cao Hao was already in the bed, and when he saw his wife coming, he lifted a corner and let her in.

Holding his wife in his arms, Cao Hao said: "Even if you have any doubts in your heart, don't show it in front of your mother." ”

Chu Yu said: "It's just like that, what are you doing talking about this in front of your mother?" ”

Cao Hao stroked his wife's hair and said, "There are some things that I can't figure out now, and I don't know how to tell you for a while." Although my father looked stricter, he was also sensible; Mother has always had a good surname, so you two should be able to lose your temper. Today, my father said to his third brother-in-law, 'family and everything is prosperous', if you get along with your elders, if there are any bumps and bumps, you don't have to bury any grievances in your heart. Tell me that when parents are older, they should not only respect them, but also coax them like children, and be more patient......"

Chu Yu listened to it, felt that something was wrong, raised his head and said, "What does this feel?" Could it be that Chu Yu is still the kind of unfilial daughter-in-law? ”

Cao Hao laughed twice and said, "I'll just say that." ”

What he thought in his heart was another thing, saying that his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were natural enemies. In the early years, Lao Taijun did not beat and scold the Li family and Zhaojia family, but it was not a false color.

Now the time between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is still short, there is no contradiction, if there are too many times, some small frictions are inevitable.

* Orchid Courtyard, upper room.

Listening to Cao Yin's slight snoring, Li couldn't sleep. Thinking of the two daughters talking about the Seven Treasure Bracelet, Chu Yu's expression seemed to be a little wrong, and Li couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Could it be that the daughter-in-law felt uncomfortable when she saw that she passed on good things to her daughter and did not leave them to her daughter-in-law?

No, in the end, it is Gege from the palace, and these treasures and jewelry have always been lacking. Besides, looking at the jewelry she usually uses, there are only a few things, and she is not the kind of surname who likes to dress up.

Li couldn't figure it out, so he tucked Cao Yin's quilt and wondered if he was too careful.

*Dongfu, East Side Courtyard.

Seeing that it was a pretty-dressed maid who came forward to bed, and Jinghui's original girl Chun'er was not waiting nearby, Cao Song was a little strange.

Not to mention that this girl was cleaned up pretty, she didn't know how much powder she wiped on her face, and how much oil she smeared on her head, so choking Cao Song couldn't help but sneeze heavily.

Jinghui wore a middle coat, lowered her head, lowered her eyelids, and sat in the kang.

Hearing Cao Song's sneezing, she raised her head, and when she saw that it was not Chun'er waiting nearby, she was also a little surprised, and asked the maid in a low voice, "Where is Chun'er?" ”

The maid leaned over and replied: "Sister Chun'er twisted her foot, it was a little inconvenient, and she just told her master that I am afraid that I will not be able to watch the night tonight." ”

It's only been a moment when the kung fu is not in front of you, and you twist your foot?

"What about us, are you hurting badly?" Jinghui asked.

"When it's about to get dark, Mama Chen will straighten her bones, show it, and say it's okay, just rest for a few days." The maid replied with a low brow.

Yesterday was a cave room, and the new house did not need to be waited, and today it is necessary to arrange for the maid to be on duty in the upper room for the night and wait for the room. Such a maid is either a henchman of the master, and she will pre-back up the dowry in the future; Either you have to receive it in the room and sleep with your aunt when the master is not clean.

Although Jinghui doesn't like to talk, after all, she is also from a family, and she hasn't experienced some things, but she has heard some of them.

Jing Hui glanced at the maid and said with a light smile: "I used it early for dinner, but now I'm a little hungry, you go out and ask, if you have any ready-made dumplings, take some to me." ”

The maid answered, turned and went out with the curtain.

Cao Song saw that Jinghui was silent, thinking that she was worried about Chun'er, so he approached her and said, "Don't worry too much, wait for Ming'er to take a look, if not, ask the doctor to come and take a look." ”

Jinghui nodded, hesitated, and said, "Master, of these subordinates I married, except for Chun'er, who served by my side, the rest were given by the elders outside. I don't know the surname, and I don't know whether to use it or not, so I have to ask the master to get an idea. ”

Cao Song said: "What's so difficult about this, you pay attention, look at those that should be used, and stay; Those who are not used properly will be sent to Zhuangzi. The left and right are all errands, and there is no reason to be restrained by subordinates. ”

Seeing him say this, Jinghui smiled and nodded, feeling a little relieved.

Cao Song had already tilted his body, pillowed on Jing Hui's lap, opened his round eyes, and looked directly at Jing Hui.

Although he is a few years older, he still has a bit of the old appearance, with a melon seed face, red phoenix eyes, and a small nose.

No matter when you look at it, she looks like a little girl with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and it makes people itch when she looks at it, and she wants to take pity on her arms in her arms.

Cao Song's mind was full of scenes, picking up Jing Huiqi outside Jiangning City, to the docile and somewhat stubborn little mute in Yizhou City, to the Manchurian lady in the capital who had suffered an accident...... Jing Hui was stared at with a blushing face, turned her head sideways, and whispered, "What are you looking at?" ”

Cao Song let out a long breath, reached out and touched Jinghui's face, and whispered: "It's really like a dream, I didn't expect Ye Zhen to marry you as a daughter-in-law." I didn't dare to close my eyes last night, for fear of opening my eyes...... This daughter-in-law is just a dream......"

Jing Hui heard what he said sincerely, and her heart was a little agitated, but when her eyes fell on Cao Song's left hand, she couldn't help but redden.

Last night, I found that his left hand was wrong, and asked him the reason, only to say that it was a mistake between colleagues. This morning, from her mother-in-law Zhao Jia's sarcastic words, she learned the truth.

Although I complained, I was also grateful, and I couldn't bear to blame it.

She retracted her gaze and said in a low voice: "It is Hui'er's blessing to be able to marry her father as a daughter-in-law." In the future...... Let's have a good life. ”

Cao Song stretched out his hand, hugged Jing Hui's waist, turned over and pressed Jing Hui under him, and said in a dumb voice: "This is not nonsense, the master tried hard to beg you to come, isn't it just to have a good life...... I also have to learn from my eldest brother and sister-in-law, and it is good to spread out early...... It also saves the mother from watching her aunt coax her grandson to coax her grandson to be greedy...... "In the end, her voice gradually lowered.

Just as he was about to hand over the kiss, he heard the sound of footsteps in the outhouse, and someone at the door replied: "Master, the slave and maid went to the kitchen to ask, and asked for a plate of horseshoe baked cakes and a plate of taro cakes." ”

Cao Song leaned into Jing Hui's ear and asked in a low voice, "I'm really hungry, do you want to eat first, or ......?"

Jing Hui was a bride from the beginning, and she also knew a little about men and women, seeing that Cao Song was uncomfortable, she couldn't bear it, shook her head, and said, "Don't be hungry......"

The maid outside didn't hear any movement in the inner room, so she raised her voice and said, "Master......"

Cao Song was burning uncomfortably, where could he still listen to her scratching noise, turned his head and said with a little impatience: "In the middle of the night, what are you calling?" Stuff left, get down! There is no one to wait in the upper room! ”

After a while, I heard the sound of squirming and pulling the curtains.

Cao Song has put down the curtain, the spring is infinite, and the newlywed Yan'er is full of murmurs.

* Shilang's Mansion, the upper room in the inner courtyard.

Wu Yashi couldn't sleep over and over in bed, and sighed incessantly.

Murtai was disturbed, sat up, buttoned his ears, frowned, and said, "Madam, you have sighed all night, don't you just want a dowry?" Then add it, but don't try to compare yourself with the Fucha family. The parents of the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law are large Manchurian families, and they are related to various royal palaces, and it is normal for people to be decent when they add makeup. Dowry dowry, each family's situation is different, there is nothing to compare. No matter how rich the dowry of the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law is, she is also an orphan girl without a father and a mother, and our baby girl and our old couple are distressed. ”

Wu Yashi shook his head and said, "The master is a man, careless, I don't know this." For a woman, the amount of this dowry has a lot to do with it. The married daughter doesn't want to be angry with her in-laws and not be restrained by her in-laws, so she has to have a decent dowry and save herself from being looked down upon by her in-laws. ”

When Murtai heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "You're not a vain heart!" What kind of mother-in-law's family, that is Ruhui's aunt's family. This aunt doesn't favor her niece and daughter, can she still give face? ”

Wu Yashi listened to it and wanted to refute, what does it hurt, if it really hurts, how could he know that Ruhui was not in good health, so he temporarily changed his words and changed the second marriage to the third marriage?

It's just that she knows that her husband is just this sibling sister, and the two brothers and sisters have a good relationship, although she complains in her heart, she doesn't dare to say it in front of him......
