Chapter 263: Auntie
The aunt and grandmother in Zheng Changchang's mouth are Mi Dingwen's sister, Mi Jiyue's aunt, Mi Xian.
Because she has a strange temper, she moved back to her parents' house after leaving her husband's family, saying that she was leaving, or a concession given by people in the face of the Mi family.
"I haven't seen her." Zheng Ling thought about it, but he really didn't remember that there was such a number one person in the Mi family.
"I rented a house to live outside, but a few years ago, my father-in-law invited her twice, but she refused to come back, saying that she was afraid of provoking people."
Zheng Changchang, a new daughter-in-law, how could she know this, obviously she also learned from Mi Jiyue's mouth.
"Even so, if the Mi family neglects her for a few days, she will be 'uncomfortable' and 'unhappy', so that her father-in-law can't help it, so he invited her again, and she agreed this time. Just caught up with me to enter the door, the Mi family didn't help her move immediately, and I don't know if it's because of this, so I have some opinions about me. β
Zheng Changchang said a lot of words in one go, picked up the teacup and drank two sips, as if she was more comfortable, Zheng Lingyi speculated that this aunt must have given Zheng Changchang some discomfort, and asked Zheng Changchang to avoid the seriousness and lightened it.
As soon as Zheng Changchang put down the teacup, she added a sentence and said, "That's it, after all, it's across the yard from me." β
Although he knew that there were many comforting elements in his words, Zheng Lingyi still nodded with a smile, and followed his sister's words: "Who doesn't have the slightest displeasure, just let her go for small things." β
Zheng Changchang smiled, picked up the yam cake and took a small bite, covering it with a handkerchief and chewing it.
Zheng Lingyi asked about the origin of the incense seal again, Zheng Changchang only said that she met a girl in the jewelry store, said that she had something suitable, and took out a fragrance seal, Zheng Changchang also felt that Zheng Lingyi would like it, so she bought it at a price that was neither high nor low.
Zheng Lingyi felt wonderful when she heard it, and she was afraid that there would be something involved behind it, but she Wu Punishment had seen the incense seal, and Wu Punishment consulted Mr. Zhu, saying that it was an ordinary antique, and there was no story involved, so Zheng Lingyi kept it with peace of mind.
As the sisters spoke, Zheng Changchang didn't know what she thought, her eyes became complicated again, and she said briskly and abruptly: "Sister, the Mi family has received a long mourning report." β
Zheng Lingyi glanced out the window and saw that the courtyard was still a bleak look, and spring had not yet arrived.
She hooked her lips, but there was no smile, "The Wu family also received it." β
The sisters were silent for a while, and slowly ate the two pieces of pastry. A little shallow sweetness of the yam cake is particularly evident in the silent tasting.
"This time, the husband said," Zheng Changchang smiled lightly, and said a little shyly: "He said, I never thought that I was still a person who dared to think and dare to do." I said, it's not as good as my sister. β
Zheng Lingyi looked back and thought about it, and he also felt that he was risky, but fortunately, God protected him, and everything went smoothly.
Five days after Zheng Lingyi and Zheng Changchang ended this conversation, Zheng Lingyi received a letter from Zheng Mianmian.
Her words are not good-looking, and the words and sentences used are very simple, but Aunt Wan dictated and she wrote them down.
Aunt Wan turned over and over with some words of thanks, saying that her life is very good now, and she didn't expect to be able to go shopping in the market in this life, which made her feel like she was back when she was not married.
He also said that Zheng Lingyi gave too much silver, and the two of them couldn't use so much silver, and the young lady of the Kou family was supposed to give it, but she was embarrassed to accept it, she had already lived in someone else's courtyard, and she really didn't have this face, but she still left a rough mother-in-law.
Aunt Wan also said that when she figured out what was going on the street, she wanted to do some handicrafts and go out to sell on consignment, not to make a few dollars, and it was always good to pass the time, and Zheng Lingyi was reassured, saying that she and Chang Chang would wear a veil when they went out, and no one would find out.
Zheng Lingyi finished reading the whole letter, and there was not a word that Zheng Mianmian meant, she knew that this sister had an eccentric temperament, so she didn't want to say it.
Zheng Lingyi was about to throw the letter into the brazier with the envelope and burn it, when he suddenly felt that there was something in the envelope, and when he poured it out, he saw that it was a bamboo bookmark half inlaid with jade, which should have been bought on the street, not expensive, but very elegant.
Aunt Wan won't buy this thing, it can only be Zheng Mianmian.
Zheng Lingyi suddenly remembered that in the past, when she was reading, Zheng Mianmian was always probing her brain and making some small movements to attract her attention, Zheng Lingyi coaxed her to read, but she didn't want to, she was still playing with her hair and plucking her earrings.
'It's also a sister, after all.' Zheng Lingyi said in her heart, although she didn't want Zheng Mianmian to miss herself, but this bookmark still gave her some comfort, she kept the bookmark and burned the letter.
Luzhu squatted down and played with the brazier to prevent the embers from floating out, and when he got up, he saw Zheng Lingyi yawning again, and said with a smile: "Madame is sleepy?" I sent my uncle out this morning, and I did get up early, do you want to catch up on sleep? β
In the next few days, Wu Zhi was not at home again, Zheng Lingyi nodded and yawned at the same time, it seemed that he really couldn't stop this sleepy god.
"Green Beads!" Zheng Lingyi was already asleep, and suddenly a sentence came out of the bed.
Lu Zhu was tiptoeing to close the door, which startled her, and covered her heart and said, "What's wrong?" Madam. β
"Isn't Pell coming back today?" Zheng Lingyi's voice came out of the futon pile, and it also became soft.
"Yes, it is said that in the evening, madam, you can sleep, maybe when you wake up, Pei'er will come back." Green Bead Road.
Zheng Lingyi sighed, and said with a sleepy look: "Tell them to go down and tell them to keep their mouths shut for me, and don't come out of their mouths with any gossip, otherwise, just wait for the board on their stomachs." β
"Well, I see." Lu Zhu waited for a while, and after feeling that Zheng Lingyi had nothing else to say, he closed the door and walked out.
As soon as she went out, she saw that Lu Nong was back, she greeted her with a smile and said, "My sister is back." β
When she got closer, the two of them had nothing to say for a while, and Lu Nong came back with red eyes, she barely smiled today, so she only stopped awkwardly in place, and walked back quickly.
Lu Zhu naturally guessed at Huan'er, stood in place and looked at Lu Nong's back, and muttered: "What is this!" β
She guessed that it was naturally good, Huan'er chose that Boss Du, and she was busy getting married. Qiao Luo also saw that Lu Nong was an unmarried girl, so he took over the marriage and went to Boss Du to take a line.
Boss Du is a small businessman in the end, not so particular, the wife of the family has also come to see Huan'er in person, and she is not outstanding when she sees her appearance, but she is a little relieved.
Huan'er prides herself on having style and means, and she doesn't take this half-old mother-in-law in her eyes, she just waits to show her strength after getting married, and she wants to hold the entire Du family in her hands!
Both men and women agreed, and the next thing was to prepare for the marriage, Lu Nong came a few times and didn't mention the dowry, and Huan'er was not ashamed, so he asked.
Lu Nong took out a small handkerchief from his arms, and said while spreading out the handkerchief: "Since you are married to Boss Du, you don't have to worry about food and clothing if you want to come, there are fifty taels of silver tickets here, you can take it to buy something." β
The silver ticket was taken away with a 'whoosh', and Huan'er didn't speak, looking directly at Lu Nong.
Lu Nong didn't speak, the two froze for a while, and Huan'er reacted, her voice became sharp because of the high ceiling, "No? You have been in Mrs. for so many years, only these fifty taels?! β
Zheng Lingyi's reward is naturally still there, but Lu Nong didn't sell it, but just exchanged all the broken silver into this silver ticket.
"You're really useless, I thought you could at least be on par with Qiaoluo, but I didn't expect it to be like this!"
Lu Nong frowned and looked at Huan'er, and said, "You also know that you will take me and Qiao Luobi, but it is not me who is married, and Mrs. does not need to pay a dowry!" β
Huan'er called her to say this, but she couldn't sprinkle it, and cried again, saying, "I don't have a good errand to make money!" Just count on your sister, you are all out of the same belly, why don't you think about it for me? These fifty taels, how to marry fifty taels. β
Lu Nong laughed very angrily and said, "It's strange, if we had these fifty taels in our family in the past, we wouldn't have been sold." Fifty taels! Who in the people's house has seen these fifty taels! β
Lu Nong came with a hard heart today, and she would never succumb to Huan'er's crying, Huan'er also felt it, she bit it, softened her attitude, and said: "But, but my sister also has to give me something to fill the faΓ§ade and press the things at the bottom of the box." Madame, there are so many good things, there are always one or two that flow into your hands, right? β
Her insatiable behavior aroused Midori's boredom, and her words became serious.
"You are someone's aunt, to put it nicely, it is a second room, you are going to serve the two of you, a fire pit, what kind of faΓ§ade do you want! What a good thing you should be! β
"If you're thinking about me, who can do the second room!? You just want me to pick a poor boy, honest, like my mother, I have worked hard for most of my life, I am sick, the family's money is gone, and when the time comes, I will sell my sons and daughters, and the silver we get from selling is only the price of a hairpin! β
Huan'er's words were like a sword, stabbing into Lu Nong's heart, she was in pain at the same time, but also felt a little clear, it turned out that her sister had always had this fear in her heart, so she was so greedy.
This time, it was Huan'er who turned around and left first, and after so long after the sisters met again, Lu Nong felt that she had only seen a little bit of her heart today.
Lu Nong returned to the quiet retreat in despair, returned to the room, sat in a daze for a while, and then got under the bed and pulled out a suitcase.
Her family was all in this box, and she opened it and took it out one by one.
The worthless ones were left inside, and the valuable ones were taken out and placed on the table, and gradually, a small half of the table was set up.
She put away two pieces of jewelry, this jewelry is a pair of green beads, if she doesn't wear them for a day, I'm afraid Zheng Lingyi will ask.
After picking it up like this, Lu Nong plans to give everything he can to Huan'er.
