Chapter 312: Withholding the bride price
"Today, there are beautiful women smiling and smiling, and there are beautiful women getting married."
Tang Yuanwai's smile was a little gentle, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze, as for whether Leng Aohan thought so about Duyu I don't know.
She felt that she didn't like him, but it was only because of the convulsions at that time that he had a "chance", and she regretted it a little now......
What she didn't know was that Zi Ye, who was sitting opposite her, turned out to be him, if she knew that she would have gone far away and never wanted to see him again.
What is the heart? Is it an expectation? Is it a yearning?
All right...... She doesn't seem to have any expectations for Leng Aohan, not to mention yearning, it's gone! The rest is tired, and when you think about it, you feel very tired, so I guess it's also tired.
Presumably the lively atmosphere of the Shuangxi family, the Mo family who got married was a little bleak, just hung some red paper at the door, and the food prepared was also pitiful, which shows how much the family does not want to see this new daughter-in-law.
A woman was called by the old lady of the house, and she clung to the handkerchief in her hand, but it seemed that it would be torn apart if she pressed harder.
She was nervous, looking down and thinking as she walked.
"Mother." The woman slammed on the door and shouted.
"Come in for me!"
The people inside seemed to be very displeased, and this woman was about to go in and bear her wrath.
Entering the door, there are neatly arranged tables and chairs, and a picture of longevity, and the incense of the old stove continues to emit faint white smoke.
As soon as the woman entered, she saw the old lady sitting in front of her, who seemed to look at herself with disdain.
"Say hello to my mother." The woman said timidly.
The old lady slapped the table and said angrily: "What should I do!" ”
The woman shook her body in fear, and there was some innocence in her eyes.
"Mother, I don't know what you're talking about."
The old lady was obviously even more angry, and threw a ledger to her, and the woman hurriedly caught it.
"See for yourself! Don't say you don't know! The old lady said angrily.
The woman may have understood something, but she still pretended to be innocent, and she was flipping through the ledger, as if she was at a loss for everything.
"Mother, but is there a problem with this accounting? I've checked it. The woman whispered.
"You're embarrassed to say, look at the bride price for the Tian family, what is the difference!"
The woman trembled with fear again and said, "Mother, our family's expenses have been too big recently, and we really can't spend too much on the bride price." ”
The old lady of the Mo family was even more angry, and the surroundings of her face became tighter with her angry expression, as if she had been deliberately slashed with a knife.
"You! I can tell you, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you just can't bear that money! ”
The woman immediately knelt down, her trembling body betraying her nervous self.
"Mother...... Our Mo family's expenses have always been large, and last time my eldest brother fell ill and had to treat him, it cost a lot of money this time. The woman cried.
The old lady of the Mo family thought of her eldest son, who was often ill at that time, and her heart slowly softened.
"You...... But you can't afford to give it! In the past, when the second child married you, it was the same number, but now there is only a little bit for the third daughter-in-law, do you say that people can balance their hearts? ”
The woman didn't think so, she felt that she was the most noble daughter-in-law of the Mo family, why should she give a large amount of bride price to a child daughter-in-law?
The new daughter-in-law also wants to eat when she comes, so don't you need to spend money on eating or something? What a bargain for nothing......
The old lady felt that she should treat everyone equally, whether it was a child bride or a son who married himself when he grew up, and the bride price should not be reduced or increased.
The incense in the house smoked this room a little dizzy, and after smelling it for a long time, it would be nauseous and want to vomit, the woman obviously resisted this fragrance, but she had to endure it, it was better to leave here early.
"Mother, then I'm buying a bride price now." The woman said.
The old lady glanced at her unhappily, and then broke her emerald ring, she was so noble and elegant, although it was in this country far away from the court, but she could still maintain that delicacy and decency, giving people a sense of grace.
"Where is it too late now, I have to pick up my new daughter-in-law after noon, and there are so few banquets in this house, do you want to make people laugh at our Mo family?"
"Mother......."
"Enough! Don't explain to me that it's useless, go and invite a few more cooks to come over at once, and you'll make sure this feast is beautiful. If it causes our Mo family to lose the meeting, I will ask you! ”
The woman trembled and said, "Yes!" ”
"Let's go back! I didn't want to see this kind of thing of deducting the bride price of my new daughter-in-law again, so I went out of the wing room and took the cloth out to send it to the wedding team. ”
"Yes, Mother!"
"Get out!"
The woman bowed, closed the door, and retreated.
She gritted her teeth with hatred, why did a little daughter-in-law want to get the same bride price as herself? Does she have her own? How can I say that she is also a person with a family background, what is she? I can't read a single big word, I'm just a village girl! That's right, it's the village girl!
The cloth that she had never received the old lady's consent to send her as a bride price today, the more the woman thought about it, the more unbalanced her heart became.
She snorted coldly, looking at this somewhat depressed Mo family banquet, she couldn't help but feel that she deserved it.
You want cloth, right? Okay, I'll go and prepare it for you, as for whether the cloth is good or bad, it depends on your own ability.
The woman walked into the chamber with a wicked smile, and took out the iron key and opened the big box, which was full of beautiful cloth, although it had been kept for many years, but the quality of the cloth was still so good.
She touched it gently, and the smooth touch made her more and more unhappy
Picking up a pair of scissors next to her, she cut the cloth hard, and after a while, she relieved her hatred.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, she quietly folded the cloth again, and everything was so "perfect".
She took eight pieces of cloth and put them in two large boxes, which she would bring to the welcoming team later. Makes you scared.
After doing all this, she walked out triumphantly.
"Someone's coming!" The woman shouted.
A servant hurriedly walked up and asked, "What do you want from the second young grandmother?" ”
"There are two boxes of cloth in there, do you know that they will be sent to the welcoming team later?"
The servant nodded and said, "Yes, the second young grandmother can rest assured." ”
"Hmm."
The woman departed with her noble head held high, and the servants carried out the two boxes of cloth and tied them in a knot of red silk.
The woman came all the way to the back kitchen, and there were only two baskets of cabbage and one basket of meat, which did seem to be a little little.
"Chef Wang, is this still enough?" The woman asked softly.
The cook stopped what he was doing and said, "Second young grandmother, it's okay here, but no one cuts and washes vegetables, and there are not enough people to be busy." ”
"Then I'll find a few people to come over and help, thank you Chef Wang today."
"You're polite, I promise you'll do it properly."
"Okay."
"Hey...... Who are these three young grandmothers going to greet their relatives? Chef Wang asked curiously.
The woman shook her head, saying she didn't know.
"You third young master can't go, why don't you let the second young master go?"
The woman's heart "clicked" for a moment, what...... I actually want my husband to go.
No, she ran out, only to see that what she was afraid of had happened, her husband had already dressed in the clothes of the groom's official, and the joy of her body was a little dazzling.
"Husband!!" The woman shouted.
The second young master, Mo Ansheng, turned around, saw that it was his wife, and said with a smile: "Xia Xia." ”
The woman automatically blocked out his gentle smile, just thinking that he shouldn't go...... It's not that he marries a daughter-in-law, and what if he takes a fancy to someone's little daughter-in-law.
This woman's heart seems to have been knocked over a five-flavor bottle, sweet and sour sandwiched together, painful!
"Xia Xia? What's wrong? Second Young Master Mo Ansheng asked.
The woman shook her head and said, "Husband, are you going to marry the bride?" ”
Mo Ansheng nodded, the red robe made him even taller and more powerful, and even the woman couldn't help but be attracted.
"Exactly, you also know that the third brother is not in good health, and it is most suitable for me to greet my relatives."
"Then go ahead." The woman chuckled.
Mo Ansheng pinched the woman's petite face and asked dotingly, "What?" But jealous? ”
The woman shook her head, but unconsciously, her cherry-like mouth became stubborn.
The man clamped her chin and whispered, "I'll go back when I go, good man." ”
"Hmm."
"Xia Xia has to worry about everything in this family, it's really hard Xia Xia." Mo Ansheng said.
In the face of Mo Ansheng's affectionate style, this made the woman even more worried, she was afraid that one day he would do the same to others.
Today he can be affectionate to himself, tomorrow maybe he will be affectionate to himself...... It's not impossible for the sea to change into a mulberry field, let alone this fickle human heart?
She lowered her eyebrows and lowered her ears, and her beautiful willow eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if a kind of sorrow was hidden between her eyebrows.
The man laughed, his daughter-in-law's facial expression was too much, and he looked at her fickle face, and a sense of pity quietly rose in his heart.
"Okay, the hour is almost here, and I'm going to set off with the welcoming team."
The woman nodded obediently, she would never oppose her husband's decision in person, because she felt that obeying her husband was the best way to keep the relationship between husband and wife fresh.
The man whispered in her ear, and then strode away with the yearning of the meteor.
Since the woman is shy in her heart, she is unwilling...... This complicated thought made her a little confused.
The people in the kitchen were still busy, so the woman went outside to find other cooks.
The Mo family, an unusual family, has strange legends, prohibitive ancestral halls, and an old lady who can be described as "dominant".
