Chapter 120: Old Things
"Big sister, I think this fourth sister is different, although she is dressed up and gorgeous, but she is also worthy of other people's wealth, if she really learns from Chu Yu's low-key outfit in previous years, but it is a posture of looking at people through the crack of the door, then we will stay away from her." Gui Chuchu covered her mouth and said with a smile, it is cheesy to give gifts and gold, but she can't afford to be disgusted.
Gui Chuying exclaimed, the fifth sister actually likes this fourth sister who has a one-sided relationship?
Gui Chuchu shook his head, he didn't like it or not, it was always a family, and my father often said that the contradictions between our two families have been for so many years, and it is time to ease them.
Moreover, the third aunt's maternal uncle, the Wu family, also had a lot of dealings with his father in business. This point is not said.
"What the fifth sister said is, of course, the most important thing in the family is harmony, but there is the old thing that has been between the two of you for a long time, and it is not a day's work to reconcile."
Speaking of old things, it's not just that the third uncle's family and the fourth uncle's family have old things, but the old things between their family and the third uncle's family are even more difficult to enter.
At that time, when the eldest lord was only a weak crown, he was driven out of the mansion by the strong old lady, and lived a hard and poor life with his sick aunt. Although the third master has the heart to help his eldest brother, he is too young, so he naturally has to obey his mother in everything at home.
In the end, until the eldest master was in high school, thinking that he could make his aunt live a good life, who expected that the poor aunt would be seriously ill and die on the day of his scientific examination.
is still the two cousins in the clan, that is, the second master and the fourth master together, and buried the aunt. The old lady was never there from beginning to end.
Here is the indelible gap between the eldest master and the third master, to put it mildly, if it weren't for the day when the old lady returned to heaven, it would be difficult for this pair of brothers to sit calmly and talk about brotherhood.
A few days ago, the third master was facing a good opportunity for promotion, and the Wu family was cheeky to give generous gifts to the other three places, as the second master of Nanyang County, he made a effort, but his connections were not in the capital, and it could only be regarded as a drop in the bucket. As for whether the eldest lord who is a five-grade Beijing official has contributed or not, it is unknown, in short, the final result is that the An family has to help explore the way to be promoted.
This time, Diancui got three gifts, and each gift naturally has its own reason.
The gold-inlaid jade bracelet given by the eldest aunt and the pendant returned to Chuying are the most valuable, and they also contain apologies for not helping. This bracelet pendant was given, and their old family was at ease.
The clothes given by the second aunt are said to be the least valuable, but they contain care, whether it is the size of Diancui or the craftsmanship of Tailor Xu, these are not things that money can buy.
As for the shark veil handkerchief sent by the fourth aunt, in addition to the impulse, it also contains a message that she also intends to reconcile with the Wu family. After all, over the years, several brothers of the Wu family have also helped their family a lot in business.
Dian Cui was in the west wing, eating tea and pondering carefully, since the fourth aunt intends to reconcile with her family, it must first solve the previous misunderstanding.
She could probably guess that most of the fault was her own family.
When she was in the embroidery room, she had some such guesses, and this time she couldn't wait any longer.
Thinking like this, she went to Wu's house, Xin'er and Du Xiaozhu opened the door outside, and the mother and daughter sat down to talk carefully about the events of the year, broke them and crumpled them carefully, and then told Wu's about the things they inquired about.
It wasn't until the maid next to the second aunt came to invite their mother and daughter to dinner that Wu went out of the house with a dignified look under the support of Diancui.
At dinner, naturally it was only a female dependent, but this time Wu Shi didn't have the heart to laugh with a few concubines, but hurriedly used two tomato sauce shrimp xiaolongbao and hurried back with discomfort.
Although a few concubines were a little confused, they didn't ask much, and only told the news that the two old ladies in the house would return from Yuntai Mountain to worship the Buddha two days later. Walking to the road, Wu Shi saw that Cui was curious, so he briefly talked about the situation of the two old ladies.
Speaking of these two old ladies, one is the wife of the deceased second old lady and the second master's mother, and the other is the concubine of the second lady, the biological aunt of the fourth master, and the old lady in this house.
When the second old lady was reincarnated, these two old ladies did not fight less, but the second old lady's maiden family did not have to be as prominent as the old lady, so when they competed with this aunt again, they were on par. When the second old lady went, the two of them had no goal to fight for, and their children were older, so it was time to help each other, so the two of them simply stopped fighting and decided to work together to maintain this family.
The fight between the two old ladies ended, and the children were all happy and worked together.
Two men, one is an official and the other is in business, he is famous and wealthy, and he has five daughters, whether they are concubines or concubines, they are all well married. Therefore, this day is a prosperous and enjoyable life.
On the other hand, the eldest lady is a little thinner, and one son is born, and there is only one son from the concubine, and the two brothers are still in the middle because the old lady is in the middle, and the relationship is difficult to describe.
The estrangement between the old man and the eldest master has been a long time, and it is not that the Wu family can say peace if she wants to, but the misunderstanding with the Wang family, she has to solve it once this time!
When the general Wu returned to the room, he personally wrote a letter, one to Master Gui, and the other to the pillow in the shop.
"Mother wants Daddy to handle this matter?" Diancui asked, although his father is the head of the family, as a man, it is not easy to manage the affairs of the inner house after all.
"This is not just a matter of the inner house," Wu Shi understood Dian Cui's concerns, and said: "This matter is related to a life in the house, and it is also related to whether we and the fourth master's family can resolve the misunderstanding, rest assured, your father knows how to do it, and if he receives the letter, he will discuss with the old lady first, some things he can't handle, what kind of subordinate can your grandmother's thunder methods not handle!" On the other hand, she asked her to find an old man in the mansion back then, and she left the mansion back then...... It should also be related to this matter. ”
When Wu mentioned that person, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, if things were really as Diancui said, then she had done something wrong.
Two days after the letter was delivered, the two old ladies returned home from Yuntai Mountain.
Wu took Dian Cui to visit, and when people asked, even if Wu didn't want to, he had to return to the old lady as promised in advance, and vaguely said that Dian Cui was his godfather.
Although the two old ladies are old, they no longer ask about the world, and only hand over all the affairs in the house to the two daughters-in-law to take care of together, but after all, they are also like human beings.
What else is there to say about this, people say that they are godparents, and they are not mothers-in-law, where do they care so much. It's just that the meeting gift was given according to the example of the granddaughter, the second old lady gave a simple and generous tourmaline Yingluo, and the old lady gave a jeweled ruby forehead pendant.
Diancui has never seen such a kind and open-minded old man, her own grandmother is a very powerful and extremely strong person, and she is rarely so kind and pleasant, not to mention that she will give her a hairpin and a pendant.
"Thank you, second grandmother, aunt and grandmother!" Diancui knelt down and kowtowed two heads in a proper manner, always with a sweet smile on her face.
The old man liked to celebrate and laugh at children, and was also satisfied with her, and kept her for a while. Listening to her talk about the things before returning home, Diancui also picked some interesting things to talk about, she didn't want to mention the oppression of her adoptive parents from time to time, and it was enough to talk about those things once, and it was inevitable that she would complain if she talked too much. She talked to the two old ladies, such as: she saw an old ginseng in the mountains, and she happened to use it to save her leg; He also said that he was an apprentice at Li Silversmith's house and had an interesting story about eating noodles with everyone......
Diancui's voice is crisp and has a hint of sweet and soft voice, and she speaks like a hundred spirits in the valley, but it is a little more soft, which makes people listen to it comfortably and pleasantly, and the things she talks about are indeed fresh and interesting, and the two old men were stunned when they heard it, and laughed out loud from time to time.
It wasn't until noon that the old lady was a little tired and wanted to rest before she let some Cui go back, and then asked Dian Cui to talk after dinner in the evening.
The situation in the courtyard of the two old ladies naturally quickly reached the ears of the other ladies.
Wu Shi smiled slightly when she heard this, she naturally knew how popular her daughter was, and she was not surprised to let the old lady be like this.
The Wang family and the Lian family were discussing dinner, and when they heard this, they glanced at each other, and they only smiled and went to what they were doing.
Little girls, the dessert will come to order, and it will naturally be liked by the elderly.
Only the eldest lady was a little stunned, and said: "I didn't expect that Wu's rectum Dao would give birth to a seven-trick exquisite heart." ”
"I see that the third aunt is coming this time, it is different from usual, and it seems that she wants to reconcile with everyone. In the past, the third aunt took Chu Yu to Nanyang's hometown, and at most she stayed for two or three days and left in a hurry, but this time she stayed for three days, and there was no sign of wanting to leave. Gui Chuying frowned slightly.
"Getting back together?" The eldest lady smiled: "Where is it so easy to get back together, the broken mirror is difficult to round, she Wu Shi thinks too simply." ”
"But ......" Gui Chu Ying is still worried, they returned to Nanyang's hometown this time, and they also came with one thing, if the Wu family has not left, they will not be able to speak. She is the eldest daughter of their family and the pride of the family, and her parents naturally don't hide anything from her.
Although her father had achieved the five-grade Dongge University Scholar three years ago, he was weak in the end, and he had few connections and did not have much money in his family, which was not as good as his colleagues in the official family.
Her father has been a university scholar for three years, and has missed several opportunities for promotion, this time a group of people will be promoted, even the third uncle has been promoted, seeing that the promotion is about to end, where is the eldest lord still sitting, and he wants the two cousins to make a force, especially the fourth family has made a lot of money in business in the past two years, and this time let his wife go back to his hometown to explore the wind......
But he has a good face, and he doesn't want the third family to know about it. A few days ago, the third child begged him, but he didn't help out of a momentary mood, this time the feng shui took turns, and it was his turn to beg someone, so he naturally wanted to avoid the Wu family.
