Chapter 249: There are many worries about marrying a daughter
The carriage stopped not far from the graveyard of Old Man Dong. Chang'an, Borzi, and Huang Da came over with yellow paper offerings, and Dong Xiaoying took her daughter to kowtow to the old man.
Lighting the yellow paper, Dong Xiaoying muttered: "Dad, it's been a year, don't be reluctant to spend money over there, Mingyuan didn't come this year, he went to be the county magistrate." Chang'an will kowtow a few more times for his father, Dad, come and pick up the money! ”
"Ah, old man! Old lady, why didn't you enjoy the blessings of your uncle, you went early! Huang Da threw himself on the ground and cried, crying more than a stuffy man, like his dead father.
Dong Xiaoying couldn't help him, looking at the stuffy man who was crying until her body trembled, her eyes were sore, and she cried.
Fang Yue sent the stacked gold ingots into the fire, and muttered: "Grandpa, my brother is married, he just changed the grass post, he is the daughter of the third princess, and he is named Huabao Xiangjun."
There is a record in your booklet that you have been to Huabao, saying that there are mountains and rivers, and the houses are all built near the water, and the brown sugar glutinous rice cakes over there are very famous, isn't it? ”
Chang'an followed: "Grandpa, next year I want to take the township test, I don't know if I can win, grandpa bothered to bless me, if I can win, I will be eligible for the spring lift, I want to marry the countryman, I can't pass the exam, at least I have to enter the Shi and the first, it's difficult!" ”
Huang Da wailed: "Old lady, you must bless your son to win the top prize." Otherwise, you won't have a granddaughter-in-law, and you won't be able to add another person to send you paper money next year. If you bless you with all your strength, if you have another two or three years, your grandson will bring you a great grandson! ”
Dong Xiaoying glanced at Huang Da, why are you everywhere?
The stuffy man said in a low voice: "Master, next year!" Next year, I will bring my daughter-in-law and son, let you see, the stuffy son is married, and I have a son, woo woo ......"
Dong Xiaoying began to chatter: "Dad, why do you think I'm upset? I asked my daughter to accompany Mrs. Hu, that's kind! How can she think about my daughter? wants our chick to be her granddaughter-in-law, why is this uncomfortable? ”
Huang Da immediately knelt up straight, and answered: "That's it, if you want me to be angry." Her grandson is at the border! Does she know what her grandson is like? If the prince is outside and has a girl he secretly likes, the reputation of our young lady will ruin Mrs. Hu, what will our young lady do?
Living with her to relieve boredom, isn't it a joke to climb the high branches! Besides, who knows what her grandson looks like? In case our young lady can't look at it, and the two meet like enemies in the next world, they can't be pinched together, will our young lady still marry someone?
Then our young lady won't be able to look for relatives! Look for it in the errand, bow your head to find a husband, that can't be! Our brothers can't let Mr.'s daughter suffer this grievance, right? ”
At this moment, Dong Xiaoying straightened out, it turned out that she had been responding to Liao Ling, the child was not young, in case someone fell in love with Ning Yuan, she was embarrassed to tell her grandmother. Or are you going to ask your grandmother to go back and find out to your grandmother, won't my daughter become a joke?
"Don't cry, hurry up and burn the paper money, let's go back quickly, I want to talk to Aunt Hu."
was scolded by Dong Xiaoying, Huang Da hiccuped, immediately stopped crying, and threw the paper money into the fire. shouted in his mouth: "The old lady is here to collect the money, the old lady hurry up and collect the money, don't let the family pick it up." The ancestor of the Huang family, help protect the old lady Dong, don't let the lonely ghosts bully our old lady! ”
My God, this person is really capable of pulling his ancestors.
After burning the paper money, Dong Xiaoying took the kowtow to the old man Dong, got up and pulled her daughter, and the son strode forward, there are rules for burning paper, and you can't look back after burning.
The carriage walked up again, and the stuffy man sat on the wheel, and said in a deep voice: "Miss, let me write to my godfather and tell me about the little lady?" ”
"No, who to tell about this, at this point, it's all in vain." Dong Xiaoying is very powerless, the rumors have spread, if Liao Ling fails, Yueyue will be paid attention to when she finds a partner again.
The carriage went back to catch up slower, there were many people in the direction of the city, the closer to the capital, the more carriages on the road, and there was a queue to enter the city.
Carriages with insignia on the outside of the carriage are allowed to pass without inspection.
Dong Xiaoying's car is hung with a square character, because Fang Mingyuan has an official position, so the square character uses the emblem of the Futong County Ya.
When I entered the house, I was stopped by Mrs. Niu, brought a copper basin, and I wanted to shine my face at the water in the basin, then took a sip of white wine, and then crossed the brazier, and then, don't talk, don't want to eat and drink, hurry up to soak in wormwood water.
Fang Yue soaked in the bathtub with her mother, and smiled and used science to explain superstition!
"My grandmother is doing this, and the clear water shines on her face to see if her face is dirty! When you go out on a cold day, even if it's not winter, the cemetery is in a shady place, and the humidity is heavy, and you can get rid of the cold and humidity by drinking wine. Passing the brazier also means going to the cold, plus taking a mugwort bath, that's still dampness, right? ”
Dong Xiaoying got up and took a bath towel and wrapped it, "You're done!" Soak for a while, and hurry out to eat. It's late tonight, rest for the night, and let's go to the Guogong Mansion together tomorrow. ”
Fang Yue reached out and took the bath towel, and said lazily, "My grandmother said, let my brother go to give the Yuan family a New Year's gift tomorrow, don't you go and see what the gift is going to look like?" ”
"See what? Your grandmother and Mu Mu are at home, and they have been counted with the sisters-in-law at home, and they don't know how many times they have watched it. If I look at it again, can I see the flowers? Dong Xiaoying got dressed and went out.
When Fang Yue came out, Mrs. Niu was also talking to Dong Xiaoying about the New Year's ceremony.
"Do you want the second child to accompany you? Just the fat one didn't hit in the past. Mrs. Niu said.
Dong Xiaoying pursed her lips and sighed, "Don't bother, there is a lot of work in the shop, and the busy foot hits the back of the head, let this gang of people accompany them, and the stuffy people will follow." ”
Mrs. Niu said to her daughter-in-law, "Head back to the door, no elders follow me." Don't worry about it, I will take a few brothers from the Huang family to help Ming'er, and the second child must follow. ”
Just follow it! The brothers of the Huang family originally went to Miliang Lane to help, and they couldn't turn around if they went to a few more.
"It's all up to you, have you sent the post?" Dong Xiaoying asked.
Mrs. Niu said: "As soon as you left, I asked people to go to Yuan's Mansion to send a post, and they also sent a sticker over there." I asked Mu Mu, and she said that what was written on the post was that she was waiting for Fang Gongzi's visit at any time. ”
Dong Xiaoying shouted outside: "Monkey, I asked you to hire a mule cart, did you tell someone?" ”
Mrs. Niu glared and said, "What are you shouting?" Can a monkey be in the back house? ”
As soon as the words fell, the monkey turned in from outside the courtyard wall, "Madame, don't worry, I've told people, Madam, let's go back, what are you doing on a mule cart?" ”
"I didn't have time a year ago, and An An was too busy to go with you. We are now a family, don't talk about master and servant, there is no that, we just have a different division of labor and different work.
The family has prepared a New Year's gift for you, don't quarrel with me, it's not for you, it's a gift for the children and the elderly in the mountains, you just help bring it back. Dong Xiaoying said.
The monkey opened his mouth, but he didn't make a sound, and the lady's face was not good, as if she was unhappy, so don't talk nonsense, and ask the boss.
Seeing the monkey climb over the wall and go out, Mrs. Niu came back to her senses, "What is the purpose of repairing the door?" Didn't he say it, he wasn't allowed to enter the back house, why did he jump into the back house again? ”
Dong Xiaoying said: "Old lady, believe it or not, he was not in the back house just now, he was connected to the flower wall of the garden in the back house." ”
Mrs. Niu sighed twice, and remembered one thing, "By the way, on the day of the new year, the second child moved, and you went over early in the morning to help!" Let's come back to the sacrificial stove in the next morning. ”
