Jin Niang wanted to know how her uncle's family was doing now, but she didn't want to show up rashly.

She was extremely curious about this, so she was a little distracted.

But it didn't make Jinniang "worried" for long, but within two days, Uncle Shen came to Xu's mansion.

Jin Niang never thought that the old man would come to the door in person, so she was still a little incredulous when she heard the next person's message. However, after learning that the person who came was indeed an uncle, he called Xu Erlang, and the two went to the gate of the mansion non-stop.

When she saw Uncle Shen for the first time, Jinniang's eyes were sour, and tears almost ran out of her eyes.

It's only been a few days since the last time Wu Heng saw his uncle when he was full moon. But my uncle seemed to have aged ten years suddenly. Originally, his sideburns were a little frosty, but now his hair has turned gray. The most important thing is that the spirit is scattered, and he is like a general who has won a hundred battles and suddenly loses a battle, and he is lifeless.

Jin Niang sincerely regretted it.

knew how hard the matter would hit her uncle, she would not tell Xu Erlang about her aunt's deduction of her dowry silver to Xu Erlang anyway, let alone condone him to do it for her.

It's better to hold your breath than to let the elders burn out overnight and blame themselves to the extreme.

Jin Niang sniffed, trying to hold back the tears that welled up in her eyes, she held up a smiling face, and ran to her uncle happily, "Uncle, why are you here?" You too, if there is something you ask someone to summon, I and Erlang will go to your mansion and let you send it. ”

Jin Niang saluted Uncle Shen, and was pulled up by Uncle Shen.

At this time, Jin Niang found that Uncle Shen couldn't see the slightest emotion on his face, but he was trembling all over. Especially the hands he grabbed Jin Niang, trembling slightly like an old man who was about to have a stroke. And Uncle Shen's eyes also became red at this time.

"Jinniang, my uncle can't stand you, and let you suffer for so long."

The uncle's eyes turned red, and he turned his head to prevent Jinniang from seeing his gaffe.

How can he still have a face!

knew that Aunt Shen was unreliable, but she even deducted the dowry he gave to Jinniang, is she still a person!

How difficult it was for Jin Niang to get married.

At that time, the Lin Mansion did not have a total of two hundred taels of silver, and it was really difficult to buy a dowry for Jin Niang, as well as to keep the family's food and turnover.

Although the Xu Mansion was defeated, in the end, it was a squire family, and the family had a rich background, even if it was a maid and a woman, she had to dress more beautifully than Jinniang.

He felt sorry for this niece who had lost her mother since she was a child, and wanted to give her more dowry, so that she could have more confidence, so that her life in her mother-in-law's family would be better. He was full of love, but because of Aunt Shen's intervention, all of these things changed. Now, he doesn't have the face to see Jinniang now.

Uncle Shen couldn't hold back a tear, and the old man turned sideways again, trembling all over.

Seeing this, Jin Niang could still hold back, and tears flowed down her cheeks. Xu Erlang watched from the side, and laughed for a while.

He wiped her tears from Jinniang and saluted Uncle Shen again. "Uncle, the sun is too big here, why don't we go into the mansion and talk."

Jin Niang also came back to her senses, and hurriedly played with her uncle's arm and went to the house, "Uncle, let's go into the house and drink tea." Uncle just said those words very contrived, I am my uncle's niece, what my uncle said can't help me, isn't that tormenting me? My uncle has been good enough to me, since I got married, my uncle has helped me a lot, if my uncle says those foreign words again, Jin Niang's dishes are shameless. ”

"Don't lie to me, you kid. Your aunt, I know all the things she did now. You kid can also bear it, but if you tell your uncle earlier, your uncle will give you justice earlier. There, you've been putting up with this, holding your breath all the time. ”

Jin Niang quipped, "Uncle wronged me, so I didn't hold my breath." ”

Uncle Shen patted her hand, "I know that you are the most kind-hearted child, and I am afraid that I will have a dispute with your aunt, so I put up with all this." But, Niang Jin, blind tolerance and concession will only fuel your aunt's arrogance. Uncle has lived for such an age, and now he has come to his senses. It's a pity that I woke up too late, otherwise I wouldn't have made her a miasma. You are still involved, because you are afraid of our feelings and your uncle's old face, you can't stretch everything in your heart. ”

Uncle Shen has been really suffocated and angry these days, so he said these heart-wrenching words regardless of it. He didn't care that Xu Erlang was watching in front of him, and he didn't care that he said these words, so that Xu Erlang heard that in his heart, his impression of Shen Mansion plummeted, and his face was gone.

What face does the Shen Mansion have to talk about now?

He has lived for decades, and he has not taught Uncle Shen to understand, and he has lived in vain for decades.

When a person is old, he still adds obstacles to his children, what do such elders want him to do?

Uncle Shen trembled, and his words were all depressed and depressed.

At this time, Jin Niang understood even more how much Uncle Shen's matter hit his old man's family.

If it was just Uncle Shen's mother who withheld Jinniang's dowry silver, Uncle Shen would be furious, but he would not be like ashes. However, in addition to this, Shen's aunt also hollowed out the Shen family to take care of her mother's brother. The amount of silver spent on his mother's brother over the years is estimated to be 50,000 taels. Even the dowry silver that Aunt Shen deducted from Jinniang in the early days, as well as the silver she usually withheld the orb, also filled the hole in her mother's house.

She takes care of her mother's family everywhere, but treats her own children and nieces badly, and when Uncle Shen thinks that she is so clear about the inside and outside, he feels that the past few decades have really been in vain.

What does getting married do? What do you do with a wife? Even if you have a dog, you will be loyal to the Lord for so many years. But marrying such a daughter-in-law and entering the door is really ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors.

Uncle Shen was incoherent and didn't know what he was talking about.

Jin Niang knew that the old man's emotional bullying was too big and he needed to vent, so she didn't intervene to stop him.

It was Uncle Shen who was still in his senses, so when someone from the house came to ask for peace, he also stopped talking.

When the next person left, Uncle Shen looked at Heyantang not far away, and said to Jin Niang and Xu Erlang, "Come to the door rashly, let's go and see your parents first." ”

Uncle Shen and Xu's father and Xu's mother are of the same generation, and they said that the ceremony was a bit too much. Xu Erlang said, "Uncle is a distinguished guest, if my father and mother know that you are coming to the house, they will personally greet you at the door." It's just that Jin Niang and I were so excited when we heard the news that you came over, but we forgot to let people pass on the word to our parents. ”

So he led Uncle Shen to Heyan Hall, and spoke properly and thoughtfully on the way, which made Uncle Shen's heart like a fire soothing a lot.

When he entered the door of Heyan Hall, it was not good to say anything else, so Uncle Shen whispered to Xu Erlang, "You are a good one, and it is her blessing for Jinniang to marry you." It's just that my niece was really miserable in the first half of her life, and after that, I hope you will have more pity on her, and don't let Jinniang suffer these grievances again. ”

Xu Erlang naturally nodded solemnly, but Jin Niang whimpered in her throat and wanted to cry again.

It was at this time that Xu's father and Xu's mother hurriedly walked out of the house when they heard the rumor.

Xu's father is very mixed when facing his children, but if he entertains "outsiders", he is polite and remarkable, whether he treats people or receives things, so that people can't say a word of no.

Now Xu's father is very enthusiastic, and even Xu's mother is a "brother-in-law". The two eagerly welcomed Uncle Shen into the flower hall, and beckoned the little maid to quickly brew the best tea leaves in the house and serve them.

Later, Chen Jiayu took Changle, Xiaoyuer and Changqi, and Brother Rong brought Changzhou and Changhui to come over to greet Uncle Shen.

When Uncle Shen saw this thoughtful and enthusiastic family, and then thought about Uncle Shen's actions, he became more and more ashamed.

But Uncle Shen's deduction of Jinniang's dowry silver is not good to say it like this. Aunt Shen is an elder in the end, and she still has to save some face; Besides, the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, and Uncle Shen also has to worry about the children and grandchildren in the family.

In the end, Uncle Shen didn't say the purpose of the trip, but only used the excuse that Jinniang was going to leave Beijing in a few days, so he didn't feel at ease, so he came over to tell a few words.

Xu's father, Xu's mother, and even Chen Jiayu knew that this must be an excuse, but they would not break it. Sooner or later they should have known them; If they don't know, it's useless to ask.

Xu's father and Xu's mother eagerly stayed for dinner, and Uncle Shen had lunch in Xu's mansion this day.

When Uncle Shen was about to leave after lunch, he called the children to him.

"They are all good boys, and they are getting older, and it is time to use silver. My uncle and grandfather are not young, I don't know how many times I can see you, and I don't know if I can see you get married with my own eyes. These silver tickets are divided equally between your brothers and sisters, and they will be regarded as the wedding money that your uncle and grandfather gave you in advance. ”

Brother Rong had a purse stuffed in his hand, and as soon as he reflexively pinched the thickness, he knew that there would be no less silver in it, so he couldn't accept it.

Brother Rong gave Jin Niang a look for help, Jin Niang kept paying attention to the movement here, so she hurriedly came over and took the purse and stuffed it to her uncle, "What do you say you are doing?" Uncle, you are in good health, even if you want to live a long life, it is not a problem. We juniors still want to celebrate on your knees in the future, so you don't want to curse yourself with these frustrating words. ”

"You can take back the contents of this purse." Jin Niang finally stopped pretending to be stupid, she said, "It's not your fault about my aunt, don't blame yourself anymore." Besides, it's all an old thing, and there's no need to pursue it now. Uncle, you take good care of yourself, and when Brother Rong gets married, you will come to watch the ceremony. ”

Uncle Shen didn't take the purse, and handed it over to the youngest Changqi.

Changqi is gnawing her fingers, she lost her teeth today, a front tooth has been holding on to her post for so long, and finally got up early today to strike.

Before the tooth fell out, she felt uncomfortable and always wanted to lick it. When the tooth fell out and there was a hollow door hole left, she wanted to lick it even more. Not only did she want to lick, but she always wanted to poke it, and when she poked and touched her teeth, she bit her fingers and began to gnaw on her fingers.

Changqi looked at Uncle Shen ignorantly, and then looked at the purse in Uncle Shen's hand. Said in a milky voice, "My uncle and grandfather took back the purse, but my mother didn't let me take it, and my mother wanted to punish me for copying books, which was very miserable." ”

Uncle Shen was angry and funny when he heard this, and saw that Changqi quickly dodged. He handed the purse to Jin Niang, "This is not for you by your uncle, it is for a few children." If you don't accept it, you still hate your uncle, and you feel that your uncle can't administer justice for you, and you are really ashamed of your elders. ”

Jin Niang hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't talk nonsense. How can I hate my uncle, I know that my uncle is wholeheartedly good for me, I ......"

"Then take it. What your aunt did made your uncle's conscience uncomfortable, and you were ashamed, Jinniang, if you really want your uncle to be good, let your uncle make up for it. Only in this way will my uncle not toss and turn, day and night. ”

Jin Niang finally accepted the purse and handed it to Chang'an.

Uncle Shen nodded with satisfaction, and patted Jinniang's shoulder again, "Don't send it, Uncle will go back." There is also the family affair that you and Erlang picked for Baozhu, and my uncle also wants to thank you. The candidates are all good candidates, and when the uncle asks the meaning of the jewel, he will set up a family affair for the jewel as soon as possible. ”

"It's a pity that you and Erlang will leave Beijing in a few days, and I don't know when I will be able to come back, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend Baozhu's wedding."

"That's not afraid." Jin Niang smiled and said, "If you don't see anyone, I will definitely get it." Sister Baozhu's marriage is not easy, and when she gets married, I, as a cousin, will also give her a generous gift. ”

Uncle Shen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and nodded at her, "You girl, uncle is asking you for a congratulatory gift, you make trouble as soon as possible." ”

In the end, the last family personally sent Uncle Shen out.
