Chapter 297: Stingy
The next day, Xiao Lang's daughter-in-law Li Xueyan added a little master to the Xiao family, the old man sighed, shook his head and left, Xiao Yao hurriedly followed to consol him.
"My granddaughter has a hunch that a little girl will be born in our family soon." Xiao Yao helped her grandfather to walk to the study, a tall, petite figure was stretched very long on the bluestone slab.
"Will it?" The old man doesn't dare to hold out any hope now, great-granddaughter! Can't you see it?
"Yes, the second sister-in-law's family is not, the third sister-in-law's family must be, let me give my baby niece a milk name when the time comes?" Xiao Yao continued to coax the old man, seeing that the New Year was coming, everyone should be happy, if the grandfather kept a calm face, the rest of the family would not be happy.
"Okay, when the time comes, you will have a milk name, and I will also have a milk name. The more they talked, the happier they became, and they crossed the moon gate with their arms in hand, and after a while they disappeared, except for the occasional laughter wafting through the courtyard.
The family admires Xiao Yao very much, three or two sentences can make the old man happy, and there is no second person in the entire Xiao family except Xiao Yao who has this ability.
Because of the upcoming New Year, the family is getting busier and busier, Xiao Yao once again put down the work in her hand and helps her mother with the New Year.
When will this dress be embroidered? Xiao Yao regretted taking this errand a little, but what could she do if she didn't! Whoever makes himself owe someone else's affection, embroider this piece with his heart, try to stay away from Yunda Shizi in the future, and stay away from King Jing's Mansion, and then reduce the number of times he goes out, there should be no trouble!
It can only be said that the idea is very beautiful, the reality is very cruel, and there are a few things in life that can be done according to the plan!
Just after the New Year, the New Year's gift of King Jing's Mansion arrived. To the surprise of the steward of King Jing's Mansion, it was the future princess who received her, she treated people calmly and calmly, not slowly, and had the potential to be a housewife.
Xiao Yao was also surprised, the New Year's Court of Jingwangfu came so early! And there are many quantities and varieties, so even if you don't prepare anything, you can have a fat year.
Finally sent away the people from Jingwangfu, and the people from Lingnan Wangfu arrived later, Xiao Yao felt that Kong Xuzhe's guy didn't have any kindness to his sister, and he was going to find someone who was only present with his mother and third aunt to remind them, and some people were better guarded.
In the New Year, the Xiao family routinely set off fireworks that other people's families couldn't get by all means, and today everyone understands that they can see that this fireworks are completely stained with Xiao Yao's light.
Xiao Yao locked herself in the room for three whole days, and painted a picture of "Family Joy" with the new paint sent by King Jing's Mansion, everyone in the Xiao family jumped on the paper, even the infant young master was held in the arms of the sister-in-law, and the mother and son leaned against the window to watch the fireworks.
Everyone gathered around the table to look at the paintings, looking for themselves on it, Xiao Yao quietly pulled Tong Mingyu aside, and asked with some hesitation and some entanglement: "My daughter likes this paint very much, Ruonan said that if I still want it, I will change it with my purse, but she only needs the kind used by men, do you say I can agree to her request?" ”
The paint this time is very good, the color is pure, soft and delicate, Xiao Yao really likes it, but unfortunately after painting a large-size painting, there is not much left. Yun Ruonan sent a letter with the pigment, which proposed the terms of exchange.
Xiao Yao guessed that Yun Ruonan wanted to give her brother Yun Yichen a purse, maybe because she couldn't embroider what Yun Yichen wanted, or maybe she didn't like to do it and wanted to trade things with herself. Anyway, it won't be the purse that Yun Yichen wants to embroider by himself.
But this matter is not small, and it needs to be reported to the mother, if the family agrees, in case there is any trouble in the future, someone will testify to themselves, right?
"Do you know what the county lord is doing with such a purse?" Tong Mingyu asked her daughter with a smile, the brother and sister obviously dug a trap and wanted their daughter to jump in, but the poor daughter was calculated and entangled, it was really stupid and cute.
"I guess the county lord wants to give it to her brother, she doesn't like to use needlework the most, and she has what I want, so she wants to be lazy! I don't know if it's okay to do that, so I wanted to ask you. ”
"Hey!" Tong Mingyu sighed slightly, he originally wanted to ask his daughter to embroider a new purse for Yun Yichen during the Chinese New Year, which the Xiao family and his daughter owed him.
Seeing that her mother actually nodded, Xiao Yao was quite surprised, but it was a good thing for her mother to agree, she would start work when she went back in a while, and she would be able to embroider one tomorrow, and let Xiaohui send it to King Jing's Mansion to change the paint.
Xiao Yao's purse was completed at noon the next day, and she wanted to send it to King Jing's Mansion in the afternoon, but was stopped by Tong Mingyu. The daughter is also too unreserved, although she doesn't know the truth and shouldn't blame her. But the rest of the family knows it!
After the new purse was delivered to King Jing's Mansion, Yun Yichen was very satisfied, and this purse was much more pleasing to the eye than the last one.
"You two young ladies are good." Yun Ruonan knew that her brother wanted to hear Xiao Yao's news the most, so she couldn't help but ask, she thought that Xiaohui didn't know about her friend and brother's marriage!
"It's good, thank you for your concern." Xiaohui secretly glanced at Yun Yichen, every time she saw this prince, she had a feeling that her legs trembled, and the young lady didn't seem to have a good relationship with him, would such two people be happy together?
As soon as it was over, Yun Yichen snorted dissatisfiedly, none of the two maids around the little girl were smart, but she still held it as a baby, which was better than herself.
"Our young lady painted a painting of "Family Joy" a few days ago, and used up all the paint sent by the county lord. "I'm not just here to deliver my purse today, I always have to get some paint back for Miss to live up to my mission.
"Your young lady is still in the mood to paint." I went out to play a year ago, and I didn't forget to paint when I got home, when will the wedding dress be embroidered? Do you want to postpone your wedding?
Xiaohui didn't dare to open her mouth to argue, what is the young lady going to do, is the prince thinking about asking and interfering now, looking at his face, no matter how he answers, it may not be pleasing to him, it is safest to keep his mouth shut.
Xiaohui hugged the paint that Yun Ruonan handed her and pouted and went home, originally the county lord prepared a lot of paint for the young lady, but the prince took back most of it, and she had to tell the young lady to do more things that should be done.
Looking at her puffing up appearance, and listening to what she told her, Xiao Yao was angry, she had never seen a stingy man like Yun Yichen, not counting the encroachment on her own things, but even warned her many times. Don't be so ungenerous!
Anyway, the year has passed, and the mother should help the mother and the mother are almost helped, if the mother does not have to accompany herself back to the second uncle's house, after the fifteenth day of the first month, there will be time to embroider the wedding dress.
Because of Zhang's dislike of their daughter, since Mr. Tong and his wife returned to their hometown in Suzhou, Tong Mingyu only brought his three sons to his second brother Tong Guanghui every year, and Xiao Yao had not entered the door of Tong's family for several years.
Tong Mingyu still didn't plan to let her daughter go to her uncle's house this year, Xiao Yi also stayed with her daughter-in-law who was seven months pregnant, and only Xiao Jingkang and Xiao Yangxiao and Xiao Jun went to Tong's house to pay New Year's greetings.
"My sister is busy with your business now, and she hasn't been at home for a long time." Zhang looked at his sister-in-law with a smile, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, what about you being Mrs. Hou now, aren't you still marrying a female doctor as the son of a leader? No matter how beautiful her daughter looks, if she wants to marry a wife in Kyoto now, I'm afraid no one cares, or she has the foresight to break off the marriage of her two children early, otherwise her family will be the laughing stock of Kyoto now.
"Who in Kyoto doesn't know that the second sister-in-law is good at dancing with long sleeves and is good at the right and left! Sister, I'm far worse than you. Tong Mingyu can't laugh at his nephew and niece, but he really can't agree with some of the practices of his second sister-in-law Zhang. As the saying goes, the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, and it is not that people along the way should have as little contact as possible.
The relationship between Tong Guanghui and Xiao Jingkang has not been affected, the man is careless, and he is not willing to dwell on trivial matters. Tong Jintang pulled his cousin Xiao Jun aside and quietly inquired about his cousin Xiao Yaolai.
"You study hard, come back with a top exam in the future, don't insult the reputation of your grandfather and uncle." Xiao Jun patted his cousin on the shoulder hard, and patted Tong Jintang straight into his teeth.
My sister has already returned to Yun Yichen's bastard, and it's useless for my cousin to worry about it, besides, it's impossible for this kid and his sister to look at it, and it's not as reliable as Yun Yichen! If my sister marries someone like my cousin, the family has to send someone to protect them every day. Looking at it this way, Yun Yichen can still get a little better, only a little bit.
After Xiao Jingkang's family left, Tong Guanghui scolded his wife Zhang and said: "Where did my sister make you look unpleasant, just dislike Ping'an's child, and actually mock Xiao Yang and his newlywed wife." What does it matter to you whether you are a doctor or a lady, if you have nothing to do and disturb the house, go to Suzhou to serve the second elder! lest all your relatives be sinned against you. ”
It's Aunt Xue's slut again, Tong Guanghui brought in an ancestor to be an official two years ago, and now she is a poor official lady. This Aunt Xue is outstanding in appearance and talented, and she is deeply loved by Tong Guanghui.
Aunt Xue is a scheming person, and after occupying a place in Tong Guanghui's heart, she began to accept the servants in the buyer's house, and now she has formed a strong momentum with the Zhang family, so the Zhang family suspects that today's incident is that she is doing things behind her back and causing herself to be scolded.
Watching her husband walk away, Zhang's sat there alone, why could the sister-in-law get her husband's wholehearted love, but she had to fight with a yard of women.
It's not that I like to be unhappy with my sister-in-law, it's that jealousy makes me do so many inexplicable actions.
"Mother..."Tong Jintang looked at the Zhang family with pity, just because she was unhappy, she was jealous of her aunt, and she refused to let herself get close to the Xiao family.
My cousin is such a good person, but I can't accompany her, care for her, or even take care of her for the rest of my life.
If I had gone to Suzhou with my grandfather, grandmother and cousin, would things have been different?
It's a pity that there is no if in this world, and there may be only one opportunity in a lifetime, and if you lose it, you can never get it back.
