Chapter 107: Compromise
Dressed in a blue satin robe, Qiao Shengsheng stood in the courtyard, with the same expression on Dian Cui's face, even with a slight smile. The solemnity of ruby red on the auspicious cloud hump hairpin in the hand.
Grandma Lu was the first to react, stepped forward to hold the hairpin, cried with joy and did not forget to show it to the lady and the old lady.
Wu couldn't hide his excitement, and stepped forward to hug Diancui for a good meal of distress and comfort.
The old lady was pale, and she didn't know what to say for a while, but now if she didn't admit it again, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of her ancestors! If she confessed, she slapped herself in the face again.
Gui Chuyu looked at all this, only to feel that the general trend had gone, his hands and feet were cold, his mouth opened a few times, and finally closed his mouth with hatred.
"Old lady," Wu stepped forward to help the old lady and said, "Since this matter has been decided, the rest of the matter will be handled by the daughter-in-law." ”
Unexpectedly, the old lady avoided her hand quietly, sighed, and said slowly: "If you want to recognize that girl, I won't stop you, but if you want to discipline well, don't do anything to lose the face of returning home, now there is a rumor above, your lord's official position is expected to be promoted again, if at this time because of the little thing in the back house, it will ruin my son's future, don't blame my wife for being ruthless." ”
Wu Shi was very unconvinced in her heart, her Diancui has always been well-behaved, and the things that she lost her face when she returned home were obviously done by that damn girl, who the old lady was going to knock with these words.
Unexpectedly, the old lady's words were not finished: "And Chu Yu's girl, since you have recognized her as the eldest lady who returned home four years ago, you are still ...... now"
"No! This matter is absolutely impossible," Wu didn't expect the old lady to say this, and immediately said angrily: "What my mother-in-law said earlier asked me to discipline Dian Cui well, my daughter-in-law should keep it in mind." But that girl has been impersonating and deceiving me for many years and still wants to harm my own flesh and blood, how can I spare her! Now the mother-in-law wants her to be the eldest lady who has returned home, and the daughter-in-law is the first to refuse! ”
The old lady looked at her daughter-in-law with a cold face, and knew that she was angry, although her daughter-in-law was a little strong, but extremely capable, in the past few years, the family's shop and workshop have been run in an orderly manner, and she gave birth to two grandchildren, and it is difficult for her to find something wrong.
Originally, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was okay, but since she brought Grandma Yue over, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been estranged a lot. In recent years, the old lady has also intended to repair the relationship with the Wu family.
"Come with me into the house." The old lady softened her tone, and Wu Shi also calmed down, although the old lady was tough, she was not unreasonable, so she patted the back of Diancui's hand and said that the mother will come when she goes, and she will not let you suffer.
When they arrived at the house, there were only the old lady and the Wu family. The old lady stopped beating around the bush and said what she meant directly.
Only then did the Wu family understand why the old lady insisted on keeping the person in the home, but she didn't expect that the second son of the Taichang Siqing family would ask to marry Gui Chuyu as his wife.
"She is also her Gui Chu Yu, and after the New Year, she will come to marry someone into the door, if you still can't get used to her, teach her to move out of the East Courtyard to my yard, and I will personally train her. As for Diancui, it is said to the outside world that she is the goddaughter you recognize, and she is a godlady in the house, if you feel wronged by her, I will personally go to Wu'an Hou's Mansion in a few years to ask for relatives, the little son of the Hou Mansion is about the same age as Diancui, and his character is stocky. ”
The old lady knew that the Wu family was strong, and felt that her daughter had been wronged and wanted to compensate her. According to their family's family, finding a five-grade Beijing official's family is Gao Pan, can the Wu family tolerate that his daughter is not as good as Gui Chuyu?
Wu Anhou is the nephew of the old lady's mother's family, if Dian Cui can marry into such a family, it will be incomparable to the Anfu that Chu Yu married into.
"However, she has a marriage contract with Heng'er, how can she remarry the Hou family of Wu'an?" Wu Shi is not unimpressed, at the moment she just wants to hand over the best things in the world to Diancui's hands, she doesn't know what the second son of the Wu'an Hou family is like, but Heng'er is a good child.
A few days ago, because of that little slut, Heng'er was very indifferent to family affairs, and seemed to have plans to withdraw from the marriage, but if she changed a little cui......
"That Yuan Gongzi is good, but his parents died early, and the family is unkind. No matter what he is capable of, after all, he is alone in the capital, and how high can he climb up? Unless he is the top student in high school, but talented sons abound in the whole world, he can get past those gentlemen in Beijing, and he can also go past the Yunqing son in Beijing who wants to win the first place in next year's scientific examination? ”
That Yunqing Gongzi is talented, but he is not Heng'er's subordinate defeated, Wu Shi is not convinced, but he doesn't dare to say it. Everyone knows that the competition in front of the Erlang Temple is all some acrobatics, and it shouldn't be true, if you really get to the Jinluan Palace, who can be better, I don't know yet.
"Diancui is still young, and there is no hurry to discuss relatives, Diancui is my biological daughter, and the name of the righteous daughter is too wronged by her." Wu was not happy.
The old lady didn't force her, but only reminded her not to delay the master's future.
At present, the An family promised to help mediate between them, even if they married a flat wife, provided that they married the eldest lady who had returned home, not some impostor.
If there is a genuine homecoming lady named Diancui suddenly popping up at this juncture, how can homecoming explain this?
After the old lady left, Wu Shi was angry, and it was inevitable that he would cough and feel a little stuffy.
"For the sake of the overall situation of returning home, it is appropriate for my daughter to be wronged, and she can't recognize her family, so she can only be a godlady?" Wu Shi scolded angrily.
"Madam, when the old lady left, she also instructed that this matter should not be spread outside, and the young lady could only be a dry lady in front of the subordinates in the house, and she would have to hide it from the two young masters for the time being......" When Grandma Lu said this, her tone was also helpless.
"Dian Cui, she...... Let her in. ”
When Wu saw Diancui, he was distressed and guilty.
"Mother can't stand you, it's my mother who is incompetent......" Wu coughed for a while, his face was a little pale.
Diancui smiled with tears in her eyes, shook her head, and only held Wu's hand and shouted mother, mother.
After two lifetimes, she was able to recognize her family, and she was no longer the lonely money-loser, let alone the short-lived concubine who let people take it to marry at will!
"Good boy, don't worry, your mother will not let you be wronged again." Wu Shi turned around and ordered: "Send the eldest lady to the old lady's courtyard, and the maid doesn't have to bring it, the old lady will arrange it for her." I can't step into the east and west courtyards without my orders, and I don't want to see her again this year. ”
Diancui jumped from a maid from the countryside to a young lady in the house, I don't know the inside story, I just think she will please the favor of the lady, and the sparrow has become a phoenix. Those who know the inside story, because of the old lady's order, no one can speak, lest they get into trouble.
Although Diancui is Miss Gan, the Wu family doesn't like the people in the mansion to call her like this. There is the eldest lady Gui Chuyu in front again, let's call the second miss, the Wu family is still unhappy, so the whole house is called Cui. Wu's hidden meaning is that there is only one young lady in this mansion, and Diancui is the only young lady.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wu Shi loves the young lady very much, and there are dozens of sets of bright clothes, long skirts, horse-faced skirts, and revolving jackets and capes that meet the identity of the eldest lady. Afraid that she didn't like bright colors, Wu broke the rules of the house, and made more than a dozen sets of plain colors such as snow green soft red and silver silk. The new style of red gold heads, gold-inlaid jade heads, and even a whole set of white jade, pearls, and gemstone heads are continuously sent directly from the workshop to the courtyard of the emerald...... It seems that he wants to make up for all the clothes and jewelry in the years he owes.
Not to mention those rouge gouaches, names painted jade antiques...... I heard that Diancui likes kingfishers, although it is cold in winter, the lord spent a lot of money to get a few cages of kingfishers and put them in the yard.
After the old man learned about the child's life experience, although he wanted to see it, he felt guilty and didn't see it because of his face, so he just asked about some of the child's gadgets and sent them to him.
In fact, Diancui will be fifteen years old after the New Year, and he has long stopped playing with those straw grasshopper rattles, but when he collects it, he will inevitably purse his lips and snicker, and when there is no one at night, he will secretly take it out and play twice.
As if these were not enough, the old Wu felt that the people inside and outside the house looked down on her because of Diancui's status as a godlady, so he blew the pillow wind again, and returned to the old lady to ask the old lady in person, until the old lady announced in public, Diancui came to help the Wu housekeeper, and even the business of the workshop and shop did not avoid her, which was quite experienced and reused.
After the old lady acted like this, everyone who returned home understood that this young lady, although the lady nominally recognized Miss Gan, was just like a serious young lady, and even had more love and recognition from the masters than the eldest lady in the house.
Wu's side was only slightly relieved.
As a young lady in the house, although Dian Cui also followed Wu's side to learn housekeeping things, she didn't forget to run to the west courtyard in her spare time.
"Miss, how many times has the old slave said, don't come to this kitchen in the future, smoke and fire, go to the yard!" Aunt Xing frowned and rushed Diancui out of the kitchen.
"Auntie, I like to watch you make wontons here, don't drive me." Diancui is smiling as usual.
Aunt Xing hates that iron is not steel: "Now that she is a young lady, she should have the appearance of a young lady!" If you are still fooling around with the blindness of your subordinates, how will you convince people in the future? Madame intends to let you take care of the house, don't let down her hard work. ”
"What should Miss look like? Is it like Chu Yu or like Grandma Yue? Diancui disagreed, and said with a smile: "Whether it's a maid or a young lady, Diancui is Diancui, and Diancui has always been like this." ”
"Auntie, I said it, I must be filial to you in the future, this is not empty mouth and white teeth." You can't be ungrateful, when she was excluded everywhere in this mansion, Aunt Xing dared to be her umbrella, and she would remember it for a lifetime.
"Oops, you...... Don't say such words as filial piety to me anymore," Aunt Xing was in a hurry, and she couldn't pretend to be cold anymore, and she only stomped her feet angrily, but in fact, she was inexplicably moved in her heart.
Eating wontons in small bites, the appearance of the old god was seen by Yurou who broke in.
This person is really, as a young lady, why is he still so unruly.
No, this unsparing and sparse appearance looks very similar to Yuan Zhiheng and Yuan Gongzi! Yurou hadn't found out before, but now it's really more and more like it, like a god!
Thinking of the marriage contract between the two again, Yurou covered her mouth and smiled, if this is a family of young aunts in the future, wouldn't it be more like. Thinking like this, Yurou's cheeks were a little blushing.
