Chapter 8 I almost became someone else's daughter-in-law

When I learned that she was busy drawing the jewelry pattern, I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this girl still pointed to someone to take 20 pieces in exchange for her thin pattern?

But for the sake of her excitement, she couldn't bear to hit her, anyway, she was still young and couldn't do anything, so she went with her.

It took Banniang five or six days to draw several sets of headdresses of Baochai Daiyu and Sister Feng one by one, and dried them to dry, she estimated that in two months, Wu Sanniang would definitely come to look for her.

That day, Jiulang and Juelang were studying in their father's study, Qi Niang helped Zhu do laundry and cook, and Ba Niang took her ten sisters and Gong'er to play in the back garden, and saw Qi Niang hurrying over: "Gong'er, go to the front yard with Qigu, your father and mother are back." ”

Zhu chattered for a few days, and finally came back, and Banniang hugged the tenth sister and Gong'er: "Let's go, let's go see Xuan'er and his mother, what delicious food did they bring back." ”

As soon as Xuan'er heard that her father and mother were back, she was still impatient to be held by her, broke free of Banniang's hand, spread his little fat legs, passed through the corner gate in the backyard, and ran to the front yard, causing Qi Niang to shout in the back: "Gong'er, be careful, don't fall." ”

When I arrived at the front yard, I saw that Jue'er and Jiurou were helping to carry things.

Banniang stepped forward and saluted. The family sat in the main room and talked, and asked with a smile: "This way, it's hard, right?" Your mother has been talking about it for the past few days, counting that the day should have come back, and she is worried about whether something will delay her. ”

Sister-in-law Wu is twenty-six or seventeen years old, looks very beautiful, and her personality is also gentle and amiable, seeing her husband asking, she got up from the chair and sat down to reply: "If you go back to your father-in-law, you should have come back early, just because the old grandmother was happy on her birthday, but she was tired and sick for a few days, and her daughter-in-law was worried about it, so she stayed for a few more days. ”

Zeng Budo and Zhu heard that the old birthday star was sick, and hurriedly asked: "Is the old lady's illness better now?" ”

Wu said with a smile: "Father and mother don't have to worry, it's already good, no, when the daughter-in-law came back, she specially prepared a lot of clay instruments for the daughter-in-law to send back to the second elder." ”

Wu's family is quite wealthy, although she is the daughter of the second room, but when she is not out of the cabinet, she is deeply loved by the old lady, although the Zeng family who married is now forced, but she is quite famous in Shilin, and the husband is a good talker, the old lady is very satisfied.

Zhu said: "Let the old lady break the bill, I am not suitable for travel because my body is getting heavier and heavier, and I can't give your mother's old lady to pay homage to the birthday in person, I really can't stand you." ”

Wu Shi hurriedly smiled: "Mother must not say that, the daughter-in-law has explained the reason to the old lady, and the old lady is very happy to hear that her mother is pregnant." I also specially prepared some supplements for you and asked my daughter-in-law to bring them back. ”

"How good is that?" Zhu sighed with a smile, "It's called the old lady to worry again." ”

The family talked on the phone, and it was already sunset, so Zhu asked the eldest couple to go back to the backyard to rest first. Wu naturally didn't dare, since she was back, how could she ask her mother-in-law to do things and rest by herself? Besides, it is only a day or two away from Nancheng County to home.

Zhu's is the stepfamily, Zeng Budo took a total of three Mrs. Fang, the first two died, the eldest is Zeng Ziye was born to Mrs. Yuanpei, Erlang Zeng Zigu, Sanniang Zeng Yunhua, and Shilang Zeng Zijin, Wulang Zeng Ziyi, all of which were born by the second deceased step-wife Wu, Liuniang, Qiniang, Baniang, Jiulang Zeng Zixuan, then this Zhu's mother-in-law was born.

Wu's daughter-in-law is only five or six years younger than her mother-in-law Zhu, and both of them are gentle and courteous, but they get along very well.

Seeing that Wu insisted on refusing to rest, Zhu also went to the stove with her.

The east room of the main house in the front yard of the Zeng family is the bedroom of Zeng Budo and the Zhu family, the west room is Zeng Budo's study, and the east wing is the guest room that is kept. In the west wing is the kitchen and utility room.

The main house in the backyard is where Zeng Ziye and his wife live, and the three girls of Liuniang, Qiniang and Baniang live in the West Chamber, but Liuniang went to take care of the old grandmother who has been living in Linchuan, so now only Qiniang and Baniang live. The three rooms in the east chamber are the bedrooms of Erlang, Zeng Zigu, and the brothers.

The ladies went to the stove, and Zeng Ziye talked to his father and second brother about the business situation of this trip, as well as what he saw and heard along the way, and Banniang and a few little ones were also listening.

Brother Zeng went out to do business this time, naturally the same as before, he didn't make any money, he only took a five-run denomination, and handed it to the old father with a ashamed face: "My son is useless, he has been out for more than two months, and he only gets this money, and then deducts the capital, and the money he earns back is less than three times." ”

Erlang's bundle of repairs was collected after the year, and in the following days, this everyone's chewing was used, but it all pointed to him that the merchant could fight for some money to come back, but there was only so much that he could bring back, and Boss Zeng said that he was under a lot of pressure.

But with Banniang's eighty foundations, Father Zeng was very arrogant at this time, and waved his hand: "It's not easy for you to go out, how can it be so easy to do business?" If the money is really so easy to make, won't everyone in the world go to business? The family is not waiting for this money now, you just have to rest these days. It's also useless for the father, so you and Erlang have worked hard. ”

The two brothers hurriedly expressed their attitude that it was the duty of the sons of men and brothers to do their best for their families, serve their parents, and take care of their younger siblings.

Having said that, Zeng Ziye was a little confused in his heart, how did he not know that in the next half year, his family would still point out that he could fight for some money this time? But looking at the old man's appearance, it seems that he only handed back five copper coins, and he didn't care very much, so he naturally wondered.

Erlang Zeng Zigu knew that his brother was suspicious, so he smiled and glanced at Banniang, and said the matter simply, Zeng Ziye was taken aback, and felt that his cousin brother, hard work in March was not as good as a few paintings of the little eighth sister, and he was very ashamed, but he thought that the family would not have to worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt for at least a year, and he was happy again. praised Banniang a few words.

Banniang was embarrassed to be praised, and hid behind Zeng Zigu and remained silent.

Zeng Ziye was originally the most eloquent one in the Zeng family, very different from the silent Erlang, who was boasting, and suddenly stopped, causing a room of people to look at him. Zeng Ziye coughed, glanced at Xiao Ba, who was pretending to be shy, and said, "I have something to say to my father, you guys go out to play." ”

The elder brother spoke, and it was not good, so Banniang took Jiulang and Jue'er out of the house and went to play in the backyard.

Seeing that they were far away, Zeng Ziye said: "Father, there is one thing, my son needs to report it to you." ”

"Say it." Zeng Bu undoubtedly took a sip of tea.

"That's the case, when the son was in Juelang's grandfather's house, the fourth son of Jue'er's uncle and grandfather, the thirteenth in the clan, is fourteen years old this year, sensitive and studious, the son saw it, and also thought that the child was good, Uncle Wang wanted to marry our Zeng family, I heard that there was an eighth sister in my family who was the same age as the old four, so he wanted to propose marriage to the fourth brother, and wanted to marry the little eighth sister, I think he was sincere, and the child was really good, the appearance and conduct were not bad, and her sister-in-law was the niece and daughter of the eldest family, and the sixth sister would also marry the third room of the Wang family in the future, If the eighth sister talks about the royal family's room, the two younger sisters can also take care of each other, and the son agrees to come back and talk to his father. If the father is willing, the son will bring a letter to his uncle. ”

The eldest son of the third room of the Wang family is ordered to be Liuniang, this big house wants to marry Baniang, Zeng Daddy's family has a number of daughters to ask, as the old Taishan, it feels natural to be very seaskin, but the children are related, need to be cautious, the sixth son-in-law Wang blamed, that is he saw with his own eyes, inquired in many ways, and read his poems, and inspected it for a few days before it was settled, the fourth of this big house, he has not seen it in person, although the eldest son said that it was good, in the end he is not at ease.

After a pause, and was about to speak, Zeng Zigu had already opened his mouth: "The eighth sister is still young, and she has not yet been determined, even the thirteenth lang of the Wang family, who is only fourteen years old. In my opinion, it's better not to rush to settle for now. ”

Xiao Ba Mei was educated by his second brother, often when asking questions, unconsciously discussed current affairs with him, although children's words, often there are occasional words, an opinion, or a question, so that he has a spear plug when the tent, subconsciously, Zeng Zigu felt that in the future Xiao Ba is a marriage, and he must find a husband who can be worthy of her, at least no worse than Qi Niang's future husband Wang Pingfu.

Zeng did not doubt it, but he didn't know Erlang's careful thoughts, and he only felt that what Erlang said was very reasonable.

A few years ago, Zhong Yong, who was praised as a prodigy by the world, who in the Manchu Song Kingdom mentioned that he didn't envy the Zhong family for raising such a son? The result? How many years have passed? No one mentioned it anymore, let alone heard of what Jinshi that Zhong Yongzhong had, what kind of official he was, and what blessings he had done for the people.

Although Zeng Ziye felt that it was a pity, Erlang's concerns were also right, so he said: "Then wait a few more years, if it is still successful, it is not too late to discuss marriage." ”

The eighth lady in the backyard, but I didn't know that I almost became someone else's daughter-in-law, at this time, I was looking at Jiulang's several skins, under the peach blossom tree, looking at the sunset, blowing the warm spring breeze, bathing in the peach blossom red rain, and laughing happily.

I sneezed inexplicably, and secretly wondered, did I wear less? Got a cold? This unlucky body, from tomorrow onwards, you must get up in the morning to exercise, and raise your body to be a good one. God is pitiful, she came back from the dead, she also pointed to the long life she could live in this life, safe and healthy, and also enjoy this beautiful ancient life tour.

"Ninth brother, you look at some ten sisters and Gong'er, sister go to the house to add a jacket."

Jiu Lang Zixuan was sweating while playing, and said strangely when he heard this: "Eighth sister, it's hot to death this day, what clothes do you add?" Are you cold? How good is that? ”

The mother led their sisters and brothers to kneel in the Buddhist hall of Guangci Temple for three days before the eighth sister was brought back to life. What if it's a relapse?

Jiu Lang was like a great enemy, and he didn't play anymore, so he stepped forward and took Banniang's hand: "Sister, I'll accompany you to add clothes, I'll help you go to bed and lie down for a while, and then go to the front yard to tell my mother, let her cook a bowl of hot ginger soup first, and I'll bring it after it's cooked." ”

Banniang's heart warms, although this little ninth brother is usually very naughty, but he cares about her so much, he lived with his grandfather in his previous life, and his two brothers and sisters are not close, and because of the problem of property, he is fighting openly and secretly, although she disdains, but as a member of the Zeng family, she can't hide, but she didn't expect to return to this inexplicable ancient time, which is also the Zeng family, and is so loved and cared for by her brothers and sisters......

Banniang's eyes were sour for a while, she burst into tears, and said with a smile: "Are you cursing my sister and me?" Where is the illness? I just think it's getting late, and it's a little chilly, but I'm not allowed to go to my mother's place to shout, and the family is worried. ”
