Chapter 34: Aunt Mei's Abacus
On the wrong afternoon of the eighth day of the fifth lunar month, Shao Tianzi's family entered Beijing.
The Qinyong Mansion that went back first specially sent someone to the Zhiyong Mansion, saying that today the people were sleepy and lacking, and the luggage was too late to be sorted out, and the time was not too early, so I would not come here first. After a night's rest, I will come to see Mrs. Zhu early tomorrow morning.
This is human nature, and Mrs. Zhu is not unhappy, and said in a loud voice: "It's okay, it's okay, my in-laws are older than me, and I should rest for a few more days." Let's come to Japan for a long time, not missing this day or two. ”
He also asked someone to reward the servants who came to report the news, and asked Ruyi to lead a few girls to count the gifts prepared a few days ago to see if there were any omissions.
Wei Yining is embroidering Mrs. Zhu's new clothes, which is the pattern of Songhe's longevity, the old lady's clothes never fake others, they used to be mostly wishful, but now with Wei Yining, her needlework is also surprisingly good.
I tried to make a few pairs of uppers for Mrs. Zhu before, and the old lady was very satisfied, so Wei Yining dared to start making clothes.
Because the material is thin, the embroidery thread is extraordinarily fine, and it takes a lot of effort to embroider, and it tests the embroidery and patience.
Because Wei Yining was afraid of heat, Xiao She'er kept standing next to her and fanning her.
"You go to the side to drink some water and rest," Wei Yining saw that she was sweating all over her face, and she still fanned herself seriously, so she was a little unsatisfied: "The old lady gave me more than half of the white melon left, you go and eat it!" It's not good if it's a long time, wait until you're sweating and come back. ”
It happened that Chunjiao took the thread over, took the fan from Xiao She'er's hand and said, "You go, there is me in front of the girl!" ”
Now Chunjiao is very loyal to Wei Yining, a few days ago the Wei family sent a thank you gift, Wei Yining not only sent a copy to each master, but also cut a makeup satin for her and Xiao She'er to divide eight feet, enough to make clothes.
Of course, Chunjiao didn't dare to think that she was blessed to wear such luxurious clothes, but this is a valuable thing, and it will always come in handy in the future.
Not to mention anything else, just having such a dowry when I was a monk is a big face.
The satin was originally given to Miss Four, but they didn't want it, so they returned it.
The fifth girl didn't move at all, and she and Xiao She'er each finished dividing it, and put the rest back.
Chunjiao felt that the fifth girl was really well-cultivated and a good master.
No one can predict what happened in the world, everyone said that the five girls were the most unpromising, but it was only a few days, and everyone in the capital knew that the five girls of the Wei family dared to fight the tiger, which was something that many men with eyebrows did not dare to do.
It's uncertain what kind of creation the five girls will have in the future!
Xiao She'er limped out of Mrs. Zhu's yard, planning to go back to Wei Yining's house to eat melons.
She is straightforward, and she will do whatever Wei Yining wants her to do.
It happened that Aunt Mei came over with her maid Chunxi, and Xiao She'er asked Aunt Mei for peace.
Aunt Mei stopped and asked her, "Silly girl, where did you come from?" What about your five girls? ”
Xiao She'er said: "The fifth girl is in the old lady's yard!" Tell me to come back and eat melons. ”
"Oh, what are the five girls doing at the old lady's?" Aunt Mei asked.
"I didn't do anything, I just embroidered clothes for the old lady, and the embroidery was beautiful." Xiao She'er said exaggeratedly.
Aunt Mei looked back and forth, and asked Xiao She'er with a smile: "Didn't the old lady tell the fifth girl about finding her mother-in-law's family?" ”
"I didn't hear it," Xiao She'er's head shook like a rattle: "Grandma, who wants to find her mother-in-law?" ”
"Silly girl, don't ask," Aunt Mei scared Xiao She'er: "If you talk nonsense, be careful of being kicked out." ”
Xiao She'er didn't have a bright brain, and she only knew that she didn't want to be kicked out, so she didn't dare to ask again.
After only a few steps, she left this matter behind her, and thought about going back to eat melons.
Aunt Mei walked slowly, she was thinking about her thoughts.
IKEA is fifteen years old, and it's time to talk about marriage.
The lord doesn't care about these things, and leaves them all to Mrs. Bao to take care of.
Aunt Mei has been with Bao for more than 20 years, and she knows that she will never sincerely plan for her two daughters.
I have a concubine, I can't go out to make friends, and I can't do it in a hurry.
At this time, the Shao family returned to Beijing.
What a godsend!
My aunt and grandmother Wei Aluan have not returned to Beijing for six or seven years, and this time I will definitely take my children to live in the Wei family for a month, even if I don't live here, I will definitely come and go often.
The Shao family has four sons, and even better is that they have a pair of twins, and their two daughters are not a good marriage made in heaven?
Although it is said that his two daughters are concubines, they are the ladies of the Duke's Mansion after all, and Shao Tianzhi is only a feudal marquis, and he is even lower.
So Aunt Mei is not worried that her daughter is not worthy of the son of the Shao family.
What worries her is that someone is getting ahead of her.
Although the fourth and fifth ladies are only thirteen or fourteen years old, once an elder speaks up and decides on it, it will be difficult to turn the matter around.
Aunt Mei heard from Mrs. Tian who was sweeping the floor in Bao's courtyard that the Bao family had "advised" Wei Yiwan because the Shao family returned to Beijing, most likely because she wanted to match the son of the Shao family with the "bald cat".
Aunt Mei called Wei Yiwan a bald cat behind her back, because she had sparse hair and was frail and sickly.
However, in front of Bao and Wei Yiwan, she always said that "nobles don't pay attention" to please them.
In addition to Wei Yiwan, Aunt Mei is also worried about Wei Yining.
I am afraid that she will try her best to please Mrs. Zhu, but also for the old lady to make decisions for her and marry into the Shao family.
This fifth lady doesn't seem to fight, but in fact, it's not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Look at all these things she did when she entered the mansion, which one didn't she take advantage of in the end?
Although Wei Yiwan and Wei Yining's target is mostly the third child of the Shao family, it will also hinder his plan.
Because it is impossible for several daughters of the Wei family to marry into the Shao family, at most they can only become a family affair.
Of course, it is not an example of twin daughters marrying twin sons, but it is a good story.
So, you have to guard against those two.
Aunt Mei clenched her handkerchief, her heart beating much faster than usual in her cavity, and she had to desperately use her breathing to adjust herself so that she looked the same as usual.
Her life is like a caged bird under the eaves, just a plaything that is not free.
She has no way out, she can't grasp the opportunity this time, and she can only be completely trampled into the mud by the Bao family in the future.
Aunt Mei has been a little low for half her life, and at this time, she has to meet the right time and give it a go.
"Auntie, what kind of official is the aunt of the Shao family going to return to Beijing this time?" The maid Chunxi asked with a frowning little short eyebrows.
"What are you asking about?" Aunt Mei put her face down: "Don't ask nonsense if it's okay, let Mrs. know, what do you think we have to do!" ”
Haruki was too frightened to speak anymore.
Aunt Mei didn't want to startle the snake because of her subordinates' words, and this matter must be successful, because she can't afford to lose.
