Chapter 6: Mockery
"Doesn't Mother remember? There is also the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, I remember when the second son Yu got married, you also went, do you still remember how Mrs. Yu was dressed at the beginning? ”
Xia turned his gaze to Fang and Du.
Fang nodded, "Remember, how not to remember." ”
I echoed it like this, and I said no more.
Du Shi pretended to be contemplative, and thought for a while: "I remember that it was summer, and that day Mrs. Yu wore a dark green wide-sleeved gauze dress, with a red and Tilian pattern smoke yarn loose flower skirt under it, a goose yellow silk ribbon tied around her waist, a pair of purple embroidered shoes embroidered with large peony flowers on her feet, a jasper bracelet on her left hand, a red gold bracelet, a jade bracelet on her right hand, a red coral bracelet, on her head...... That's a hundred flowers blooming, what red gold peony hairpin, entwined lotus golden hairpin, red gold dotted emerald inlaid ruby phoenix hairpin, and a few I don't know what kind of pearl hairpin, all over the place, plugged in the head, a pair of big ring-shaped jade earrings swayed with her walking, I was looking at it, I was worried that the two big earrings would fall Mrs. Yu's earlobes. ”
"You're a cramp too, but you remember it so clearly." Listening to Du Shi tell all the things that Mrs. Yu was dressed almost the same at the beginning, Mrs. Song pointed at her and was so amused by her.
Fang's, Xia's, and the girls also laughed.
Song Xiaochi didn't think it was funny, but in this situation, she couldn't laugh a few times without cooperating.
Xia Shi smiled and said, "The second sister-in-law still missed the same."
Everyone turned their eyes to Xia, and before Xia could say anything, he giggled first.
"Third brother and daughter-in-law, you said, I forgot something, so I laughed here first."
Du Shi said with a smile.
Xia reluctantly stopped laughing, took a breath and said: "Mother, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, you don't remember, that day Mrs. Yu wore a thick round coral bead collar around her neck, which was lined with her dark green top, which was just amazing...... I can't stop laughing when I think about that scene now. ”
"When you say that, I think about it, and that's exactly what happened." Old Madam Song also laughed.
"Now that I think about it, I still think it's strange, that Mrs. Yu is dressed like that, why doesn't anyone in their family understand to mention it, but don't say that it's difficult for her to speak because she is the eldest wife, then Mrs. Yu is her mother-in-law, how can she not say it?"
Xia said suspiciously.
Mrs. Song said: "You don't know, that Mrs. Yu Tang was born in the countryside, and Mrs. Yu was married since childhood, and the two became relatives when they reached the age, but I didn't expect that Mrs. Yu later made a fortune in business, and as soon as this man had money, he was unwilling to guard the wretched wife of the family, so he gave Tang a sum of money and let her live in the countryside with a pair of children born to her."
He himself married a flat wife in the city, saying that it was a flat wife, but in fact, whether it was in the Yu Mansion or in the interpersonal communication outside, he regarded himself as a wife, and exercised the right to be a wife, and many people didn't know that Old Lady Yu still had an original wife in the countryside. ”
Listening to Mrs. Song talk about the secret old affairs of the Yu family, everyone was very interested, and even Song Junmao and Song Yiming, the two little ones, were still sitting beside Mrs. Song obediently, not noisy or noisy.
This is not because they are also interested in this topic, at their age, they should not even understand the meaning of the words, they can be so obedient, one is because the hearts are coaxed with snacks from time to time, and the other is because they are afraid of Mrs. Song and dare not make a fuss.
"Mother, what else, why did Mrs. Yu come to the city from the countryside again?" Xia urged.
Mrs. Song looked at the hourglass placed in the corner of the house, the time was still early, so she took a sip of tea and continued to talk to the juniors, "It should also be the luck of their mother and son, Ningkang thirty years, the first emperor was seriously ill, and there were ministers who wrote that they could rush to the law of joy for the first emperor to rush away the illness and worry, this royal chongxi, its scale is naturally not as good as the people, so Ningkang held a draft in the thirty years, saying that it was the daughter of the foreign official, but this rule is not unshakable, many rich businessmen who want to cling to the powerful, they took advantage of the draft, Drill around the camp, find all kinds of doorways, and send your own daughters or women who are quite beautiful in the clan to Yudu Mansion to participate in the draft.
Although the old lady Yu later married his wife Hu also gave birth to a daughter, but the girl seems to be only in her thirties now, and now it is the twentieth year of Ningyong, twenty-two years ago, the girl was only ten years old, too young, or because the Hu family was reluctant, so the two of them hit the idea of the Yu family eldest lady who was thrown in the countryside with Mrs. Yu. ”
"Mother, how does that eldest lady look? Is she the Miss Yu family who was named the concubine of King Qian? Xia asked again.
Old Madam Song seemed to fall into memory, and it took a long time before she replied: "She is very beautiful, her eyes seem to have a puddle of water, she was only sixteen years old at that time, she is very young, and she is charming, which complements her name 'Lady Niang'."
Mrs. Song came back to her senses and continued: "Miss Yu was sent to Yudu Mansion, and half a year later, news came from Yudu, saying that she was given to Prince Qian, who was just a concubine at the time, and later it was said that she was favored before she was named a side concubine.
That Master Yu was even more because of Concubine Yu, and became the deputy of the Liushan Mansion Guard, but his daughter-in-law was not much better than Mrs. Yu, and she was the daughter of a small landlord in their village, and it was always difficult to get into the elegant hall. ”
"I see." Xia patted his chest and said: "Fortunately, we have a mother in charge, otherwise it would not be like this, like Mrs. Yu, it will become the laughing stock of the entire lockdown lady, wife and grandmother, it seems that there is an old man in the family, but it is correct and good."
Xia's exaggerated flattery, regardless of whether her words were accurate or not, anyway, looking at the smiling appearance of Mrs. Song, it was obvious that the third daughter-in-law's words reached her heart.
Xia's eyes suddenly rolled, and he said with a smile: "Since my mother is so knowledgeable, then there are more distinguished guests in the house today, why don't you just see how your daughter-in-law and the girls are dressed appropriately?"
Xia Shi said, he stood up first, walked to the middle of the house, and turned around to show Mrs. Song, she turned around, as if she felt that it was not good for her to be in the limelight like this, so she also pulled Fang and Du Shi up, "Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, I know that you can all dress up, but no matter how good your vision is, you can compare to your mother, come on, show your mother." ”
