Chapter 8: The eldest sister returns to the door
Fan Yang's drought harvest this year was not very good, and Old Man Shang, as a parent official, did not dare to relax in the New Year, so he went to the government office early
At noon on this day, Shang Mingyang took Erxi through the corridor and arrived at the east courtyard where his parents lived, where there was a group of rough mothers-in-law and a group of little maids, who were moving bundles of furs and silk out of the house, chattering and chattering
The mother-in-law guarding the door immediately greeted her happily: "The eldest son is well, the eldest lady is back with the eldest aunt, and the wife is telling the slave to call you."
"The eldest sister is back?" Didn't you say that you could only arrive two days late" Shang Mingyang still has some impressions of this eldest sister, remembering that she is a woman with a bright appearance, a stable personality, and a lot of love for her
The gatekeeper smiled: "Miss, aunt is thinking about the old lady."
She nodded and opened the curtain and walked in, a room of warblers and warblers Yanyan was so lively, on the right side of the main hall sat Wei and a group of women, and there was a group of maids and women standing behind, on the left there was only Shang Boxue and a young man in a green shirt, the two were talking about something, and Wei was pulling a young woman dressed as a woman, and the two of them should have cried before... Looking at the figure, the woman dressed as this woman should be the eldest sister,
"Okay, it turned out that I was hiding it from my mother," Shang Mingyang joked
Everyone's eyes were attracted, Shang Mingyang walked quickly and saluted his parents first: "Father, mother is fine" After speaking, he was about to say hello to his eldest sister and brother-in-law
The eldest sister grabbed him, with a smile in her eyes: "Good brother, I haven't grown taller for half a year, and I seem to be more stable" looked up and down at my younger brother and continued to smile, "Yes, yes, I finally don't look like a leather monkey"
Looking at the happy look in the eldest sister's eyes, as well as the things brought in the yard, I thought that this sister should have lived quite smoothly after getting married, and my heart was also a little infected by this joy
"The eldest sister hasn't seen me for half a year and still jokes about me, when is it a serious thing to hurry up and fill in a little nephew with my brother-in-law to play with me!" ”
Everyone laughed after hearing this, brother-in-law Zhang Zhaoyi and eldest sister were newlyweds after all, Yan'er was inevitably a little embarrassed, and their faces were also a little red...
Wei looked at his handsome children, and his face was also overjoyed: "All the nonsense, how can you play with children"
"I also brought you a gift for this monkey grandson, I guess I don't want it," Shang Ruoshui said angrily with a red face
"Good sister, good sister, my brother apologized to you this time, and the gift is naturally wanted"
Shang Mingyang flattered and behaved for a while, so he coaxed Shang Ruoshui to take out the gift, Shang Mingyang took the gift and took a look, it was a jade pendant of good color, and the amber in the middle was inlaid with a unicorn, which was so valuable! Hurriedly got up and bowed over solemnly to thank Zhang Zhaoyi: "Thank you, brother-in-law and sister" Such a rare thing, this sister is really generous to her.
Wei looked at the jade pendant that the eldest daughter gave to his son, thinking of the gifts sent back and forth, he was also a little happy that his daughter was valued by her husband's family, and a little worried that her daughter would be said to be attached to her mother's family, so she hurriedly said: "You have done something so good for this leather monkey, you don't have to spoil it."
Wen Ruoshui naturally understood what her mother meant, and she didn't take credit, and said with a slight smile: "This is what Xianggong specially found for his younger brother, and many things were prepared by Xianggong when he came back this time, but I was allowed to steal it."
Zhang Zhaoyi immediately echoed: "It should be, it should be, it's rare to come back, the son-in-law is only afraid that the gifts are not thoughtful, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law will not be able to see the adults."
"Good boy, what is so blind, but let you break the bank, don't do this in the future" Wei couldn't hide his smile, looking at his eldest son-in-law The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and he was very grateful, fortunately, the old lady had set this family affair for Shui Er from the bottom, otherwise the Zhang family would not necessarily get married in the current situation of their family.
Several girls are also envious of the eldest sister, the eldest brother-in-law is a talent, and he is a Liuzhou family, and he is so favored by her husband's family....
Everyone talked and laughed and chatted for a while
Wei Shi looked at the sky and asked Shang Boxue: "It's time for the master to eat."
Shang Boxue nodded: "Well, let's ask someone to eat, Shui'er and my eldest aunt are estimated to be tired and hungry after two days of traveling."
After washing his hands and eating dinner, after Wei sent his aunts away, he pulled Wen Ruoshui back to his room and asked with concern: "My uncle was here just now, I don't want to ask you, you should tell your mother carefully now, how are you doing, your mother-in-law has made you make rules."
Shang Ruoshui was a little moved in his heart, helped Wei to sit down, and only said slightly: "Mother, my husband treats me very well, although my mother-in-law is a little stricter, but she is also good."
Looking at his daughter's spirit, it was really good, Wei nodded: "That's good, that's good"
Wei Shi remembered the things in the courtyard and the gifts that his daughter brought to everyone, and hurriedly asked, "You have given so many gifts back and forth, did my uncle say about you?" ”
Shang Ruoshui smiled and took his mother's hand and said, "Mother, don't worry, I'm not a person who slaps a swollen face and fills a fat man" "Actually, I came back this time in a hurry to see you and my father, and second, it was also for the second sister's family affairs"
"What's wrong with your second sister's family?" ”
"My mother-in-law has a younger sister who is the wife of Lord Zhou, the governor of Liuzhou, last time she brought her eldest brother to our house as a guest, which person is superior in character and appearance" Wen Ruoshui couldn't hide her excitement after speaking, if her sister got this good family business, it would really be harmless, took a sip of tea and continued: "On the eighth day of the first month, my mother-in-law will hold a plum banquet, and also gave a post to our family, when the family in Liuzhou including the Zhou family will go over, I think that my younger brother is also going to school in Liuzhou, When the time comes, you will bring your second sister and younger brother to come as guests, even if it doesn't work, it won't seem deliberate, and it won't ruin your sister's reputation."
Wei listened carefully but was not very excited, and asked hesitantly: "Your grandfather will retire in a few years, and your father has no official position, if your brother is really as good as you say, I'm afraid that these people will not look down on us, right?" ”
Wen Ruoshui also calmed down for a while, and continued to persuade: "Mother, if there is a problem with the Zhou family's brother, I am not the kind of person who pushes my sister to the fire pit, not to mention that the second sister's character and appearance are top-notch, I dare to say that I will give it a try, if you change to the fourth sister, which character..."
Wen Ruoshui nodded and chatted with her mother for a while, and then went to the side room to rest.
Wei waited until Shang Boxue returned to the house to settle down, while serving Shang Boxue and mentioning the matter: "The eldest sister is a proper person, besides, Liuzhou is not far away, and it is only a two-day carriage ride, master, I think you can really give it a try, whether it succeeds or not, is another matter."
Shang Boxue closed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and slowly opened his eyes and said, "Yue'er is also in time this year, you can bring Yue'er with you."
Wei's heart was a little disliked: "The third sister is a concubine, take her..."
Seeing that the old man seemed to be a little angry, Wei didn't dare to say anything more about refusal, only lowered his head and replied cowardly: "Yes, then bring it" But he thought in his heart, is it possible that the Zhou family can't look down on her Dai'er, and she can still look at the Yue'er who is out of the house!
