Chapter 728: Substitute Sister
"Mother!" Ye Xia stood in place and stomped his feet dissatisfied, not knowing what he was angry about.
Ye Wangshi comforted her: "It's okay, isn't it just two pieces of jewelry?" Anyway, your little girl's family doesn't usually wear the whole set, and if you lose it, you lose it. ”
"But the two that were lost were necklaces and bracelets." Ye Xia was a little angry, according to her, it was obviously the little bird that the second sister deliberately trained to tease her, otherwise how could an ordinary bird be so clever?
"Alright." The eldest patriarch, Ye Borong, roared in a low voice, "What does this matter have to do with your sister?" Do you still want me and your mother to ask you for an explanation? What is the situation with your sister that you don't know? Does she have the energy to tease you? Could it be that the entire Luoxia Courtyard will be lying? Besides, if you didn't have to rob your sister's bird, why would you be here today? ”
The more angry Ye Borong became, the more angry Ye Xia became, her eyes were red and she said: "I know that my father and mother only hurt my second sister and not me, I hate you." With that, she ran out.
Ye Borong's face was pale, Ye Wang's face was not good-looking, she sighed and said: "Don't be angry, it's normal for Xia Xia to feel wronged, how can a little girl not cherish jewelry, I don't know if this matter has anything to do with Qiu'er, but it's enough for us to raise her like this for almost fifteen years, and I will let Xia Xia stay away from her in the future." ”
"You wear Xia Xia tomorrow to go to the gold shop to pick out some jewelry, in a few days it will be a ceremony, and in the blink of an eye next year will enter the palace again, it doesn't hurt to buy more." Ye Borong finally relented.
"What about Qiu'er?" Ye Wang hesitated for a moment and asked.
"She's not in good health, don't take her out, she's not like Xia Xia who doesn't have to go out to attend those official ladies' parties, so she doesn't have to buy it for her, anyway, I didn't use it for her much before."
Hearing him say this, Ye Wang smiled: "Okay, then listen to the husband." ”
Luoxia Courtyard, Xiao Jin, who didn't know where to fly, flew back again, but the two pieces of jewelry it took away were gone.
The maids looked at Ye Qiu in surprise: "Miss, it's Xiaojin!" ”
"Shh Ye Qiu raised a middle finger at them, and then touched the docile little gold's head.
Xiao Jin "chirped" at her twice, as if he was inviting her to appreciate.
After another five days, when it came to Ye Qiu and Ye Xia's ceremony, Wang Yanran came early on this day, and refused to move while lying on Ye Qiu's soft couch.
"Why are you wearing such gaudy clothes again? Not for you. She frowned and said, "Arranged by my aunt again?" But this time the size is right. ”
"Peony, they changed it a few days ago." Ye Qiu sat on the chair and let the maids comb their hair, and his tone was light, as if he didn't care about anything.
She glanced sideways at Wang Yanran, who was holding back the fire, and chuckled: "Okay, it's not a big deal, today is a ceremony, and it should be dressed ceremoniously." ”
"I've really convinced your temper." Wang Yanran was helpless, but there was nothing she could do.
"Don't talk about me, what about you? I'm about to get married, what kind of mood do you feel? Ye Qiu looked at her jokingly.
Wang Yanran's face immediately turned red, her eyes dodged, and her words were unknown: "What can I think?" Marriages were all set by fathers. ”
"Cousin still trying to lie to me? If it weren't for my cousin's satisfaction with Brother-in-law Qin, would my uncle have agreed to such a family affair for you? ”
"Oh, you talk a lot." Wang Yanran was embarrassed, and turned her hand to pinch the soft flesh on Ye Qiu's waist, but Ye Qiu wore a lot of clothes today, and she didn't pinch anything.
The two sisters talked and laughed, and soon the time came, and the people sent by the Ye Wang clan invited them to the front hall.
Although the poor families are not very particular, the big families generally start to look at each other after their daughters hold the ceremony, expressing their importance to their daughters' families.
The Ye family is an imperial businessman, and in addition to the merchants, some people with smaller official positions are friends in the capital, so today the five blessed people invited the Chen aunt who was not very opposed to the Ye Wang family.
Although I don't like this sister-in-law, I have to admit that she is the highest-ranking official wife that the Ye Wang clan knows now.
In fact, the Chen family is not willing to do this, but who will make the mother-in-law and husband agree!
The hairpin was prepared by the Ye family itself, because Ye Xia was the elder sister, so she gave the first salute, and there were two gemstone hairpins on the plate, one was fiery red and the other was royal blue, and she knew at a glance that her sister-in-law did not take into account the feelings of the little niece when preparing these.
For the sister-in-law, the Chen family can't look down on any of them, not only because the sister-in-law is very powerful, but also because of her coldness.
Although the imperial doctor has long concluded that the little niece is a premature death, you can't deliberately ignore it because the little niece will leave you first! How on earth is this way to give only material things, but ignore feelings?
Okay, you say don't give feelings, just give the material in place, now many parents and children of big families are not as close as their population, and they are not very close to their children, but the material is really in place?
said that he loved this daughter the most, but it was just a word of comfort to himself, the last time I went to congratulate the old lady on her birthday, what is the name of the little niece? Jewelry doesn't line people, even the clothes are one size bigger, this is the so-called love?
On the contrary, they feel that the eldest niece is indebted, every time she goes out, she is glamorous, every set of clothes, every piece of jewelry is just right, she is really blind!
Not to mention the situation she didn't see, her daughter once told her how cold the little niece was, and the little niece didn't care.
Chen sighed, and even looked at Ye Xia very dissatisfied, when she really didn't know the careful thinking of her eldest niece? It's really cheap and good.
But no matter how unhappy she is, she is just an aunt, what can she do? can only let her daughter come to see this little niece more before she gets married.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for the little niece's bad health, it wouldn't be impossible for her son to marry, there aren't many girls with such a good temper, if it's her daughter, she can hurt to the bones.
Chen took the fiery red gemstone hairpin for Ye Xia's hairpin, and then said something against his will.
When it came to Ye Qiu, her face was a lot gentler, and she said: "Filial piety is the case, and the next is kindness." Gentle and upright, frugal and humble. No overflow, no arrogance, no deception. The ancient precept is a formula, and it is observed. ”
In the end, she solemnly inserted the royal blue hairpin for Ye Qiu, and the ceremony was completed.
In fact, according to the ancient rites, it is not so simple, and there are many other rules, just because the founding emperor was born recklessly, and he was annoyed by the great Confucianism back then, so all the things about etiquette were a lot more frugal.
Of course, those big families with background naturally follow their set, but a merchant like the Ye family is naturally unnecessary.
