Shi Ju didn't come out at lunch, he peeked at Mei Niang behind the curtain, Mei Niang obediently sat next to me and looked at the dishes and chopsticks and thought for a while: "New grandmother, don't you have silver chopsticks?" ”
Mrs. Jun was stunned for a moment, looked at the chopsticks, but still nodded: "Go and change the silver chopsticks for Miss." ”
"Why use silver chopsticks? Are you afraid that we will poison you? Aoxue asked, and looked at me.
I smiled, picked up the chopsticks and put a little bit of each dish into my mouth, after I ate each dish, I looked at Mei Niang: "I've tried it all, do you still want to use silver chopsticks?" ”
"That's what you are, eating indiscriminately." She grimaced again. The silver chopsticks finally came up, she picked them up and tried on each dish, before nodding: "New grandmother, aunt, you can eat, you will use silver cutlery in the future." ”
"Oh!" Mrs. Jun nodded kindly and gave her some vegetables.
"Thank you! The dish was delicious. She smiled cutely, only I knew that it was her mask, but she also said that she really liked Mrs. Jun and her daughter.
"Baby, why do you use silver chopsticks?" Aoxue asked persistently.
"It's silver cutlery at home, she's used to it." I smiled and said preemptively, I don't want her to remember why we made silver cutlery, I'm afraid she will think of Qiang'er.
"Qiang'er was poisoned, and his mother was almost poisoned." She ignored me, said very clearly, and glanced back at me, "I heard grandma and dad say that Mother Kong is going to poison you, and Dad rescued you so easily, and you dare to eat indiscriminately?" ”
"What did you say?" I doubt my ears.
"The medicine given by Mother Kong can poison a horse, and the doctor will come into a room and save you easily."
"She didn't just want me to have a miscarriage, she was going to poison me? Why? My heart was suddenly disturbed, and Mrs. Jun suddenly supported me, and after a while, she gently patted Mei Niang.
"You're scared your mother, eat quickly."
"Auntie, you are so stupid, you must use silver cutlery, and you are not allowed to eat anything that anyone gives." She turned around and said to Ao Xue, who nodded hurriedly, and her face was also pale.
After a while, I quieted down, I didn't need others to explain to me, I could figure it out myself, yes, only in this way can I explain why I can't have any more children, why Shi Tong, and just now Shi Ju's words are all through, as long as I live, yes, they all said as long as I live.
It seems that the comfortable days have really passed too long, and Mother Kong knows that she only has one chance, what should I do next time I get pregnant? The only way is to poison me once and for all. She knows that I have a good relationship with Shi Tong, I am dead, Shi Tong will not renew the string for at least three years, three years, and the sensible Liniang should be able to protect herself after three years. It's really well-intentioned, I feel so cold.
At this time, the old mother came in and said that Shi Tong was coming, and Mrs. Jun smiled, "Lord Wu is really, how long have you been here, so you are chasing after you." ”
I stood with them at the door to greet them, Shi Tong commanded the person to bring the gift in, looking at the format of the gift, I think he did not come to pick us up, it should be ordered by the adults in the family to give the dowry, although I can't say that this is a dowry, but the adults should mean that they don't want to compromise the second daughter-in-law.
Mei Niang pounced, Shi Tong lifted her up high, kissed her, but didn't pick her up, gently put her down, and clenched her fists with both hands to Mrs. Jun deeply.
"The little nephew was ordered by the family to say hello to the uncle and the old lady. The slight thin instrument added makeup to the young lady, and the old lady smiled. ”
"Lingzun Lingtang is really polite, has Master Wu eaten, let's eat together." Mrs. Jun smiled and motioned for the people to accept the gifts, she understood what her in-laws meant like me, and invited Shi Tong to dinner.
The subordinates added a piece of chopsticks to me, he was a little surprised when he didn't see Shiju, and looked at me inquiringly, but he was a little panicked when he saw my pale face, "What's wrong?" Tired? ”
"I'm scared of my mother." Mei Niang admitted her mistake and used silver chopsticks to coerce a prawn for me.
"Why?" Shi Tong reached out to help me peel the shrimp shell, and he knew that I didn't like to get my hands dirty, so he used to help me peel it and put it on my plate.
"She was disobedient and ate indiscriminately." Mei Niang said angrily. Shi Tong understood, sighed at Mei Niang, and smiled apologetically at Mrs. Jun.
"Old lady, forgive me, the little girl was spoiled by the foolish couple, and she didn't know the depth of her speech, but she didn't have the slightest malice."
"Master Wu is really a virtuous husband and father, Mei Niang was taught very well, when she just played with me, she would memorize a lot of poems, she was really smart, Mei Niang said that it was taught by Master Wu personally, and Master Wu was busy with official business, and he could still be distracted to teach children, which is admirable." Ao Xue said sincerely, the little girl's innocent eyes were very moving.
"You call me sir?" Shi Tong deliberately teased her.
"Adults are the same as sisters-in-law, it's really bad!" Aoxue was anxious again, and her face turned red.
"You are called sister-in-law, my eldest brother is so difficult to speak? Then the greeting gift will not be given. He deliberately kept a straight face.
"What is it?" It's really a child, when I heard that there was a gift, I immediately cheered up, and I was also a little curious about what Shi Tong would give to this new brother-in-law.
"What a child, here you go!" He took out a small box from his bosom, the box I knew, it was the hairpin I had passed on to my eldest daughter-in-law, I had never worn it in the past three years, and he had sent me a lot of beautiful and valuable jewelry in the past three years, as he promised, and I almost forgot that there was such a hairpin.
"Hairpins?"
"There is also a jade pendant with this hairpin, my mother gave Xiuyun together, and Xiuyun gave you the jade pendant at the beginning, and now I will bring this hairpin to you and make a pair for you, and pass it on to your daughter-in-law in the future!" He smiled and pushed the hairpin in front of her, and gently grabbed my hand with his other hand, I suddenly understood what he meant, he didn't want a son, and the martial family's Zong Tao he handed over to Aoxue.
"Big brother......" Ao Xue is very smart, but how could she think of so much, she felt a little confused, and looked at the hairpin that was actually not very expensive.
"Actually, it's not expensive, you come from a rich family, and it's inconspicuous to see a lot of good things. This hairpin and the jade plate on your body were bought by my great-grandfather all his life, and it is not right to say that he bought it, but he should say that he did it. My great-grandfather was not a well-known jade craftsman, the family was very poor, he and his great-grandmother had a very good relationship, he often wanted to make a piece of jewelry for his great-grandmother, and later, he finally got a piece of jade, he was very happy, the piece of jade he carefully cut into two pieces to make a jade plate, but the jade plate was just done, and the great-grandmother died of a sudden illness. My grandfather was very sad and used his last strength to make this hosta, and then he died. Before he died, he told my grandfather to give these two things to his beloved woman and pass them on from generation to generation. The grandfather gave it to the grandmother, and the grandmother passed it on to the mother, and the mother passed it on to the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law. Xiuyun didn't know this story, so she didn't cherish it much, I asked her why she didn't like it, and she said that there was no sense of reality, and she felt that it was not hers. yes, I've been away from her, and those two things don't mean anything to her. I promised her that I would give her more authentic jewelry and that I would never leave her again. She is no longer the eldest daughter-in-law of the samurai family, but the wife of my samurai. But I still cherish this hairpin, I still hope it can be in the hands of people who like it, I just saw that jade plate, you should like and cherish. ”
"I'll give it back to my sister-in-law!" She hurriedly tried to remove the jade plaque.
"Aoxue!" I finally spoke up, glanced at Shi Tong and exhaled, "Xianggong gave you to give it to your daughter-in-law in the future, so that it will be passed on from generation to generation." I added to the last sentence, and she still didn't seem to understand, but Mrs. Jun smiled and nodded and motioned for her to put it away.
"It's good to see you like this." She smiled genuinely.
I suddenly remembered that she woke me up back then, and if it weren't for her words, I wouldn't have made up my mind to go home with Shi Tong, and I wouldn't have had the happy time of these three years, so I toasted to her.
"To you."
"Why?"
"If it wasn't for Mrs. Xiang's words, Xiuyun wouldn't have made up her mind to go home with her husband, and she wouldn't be as happy as she is today, thank you, Mrs."
"Well, this is everyone's luck, and the young lady must be able to listen to it. In case Master Wu is not good, are you going to beat me now? "Mrs. Jun ordered it, but she still took a sip, I understood what she meant, cherishing the person in front of her is the most important.
