Chapter 222: Fuyi's "Dowry"
Mrs. Yan looked at her son-in-law in a daze: "Rong'er, have you, you and Fuyi done anything?" ”
Zhu Rong shook his head: "We didn't do anything, it's just that people's hearts are too greedy, and I don't know them, it's all a supportive arrangement." She taught me how to say and how to do it, if I didn't get rid of them and deal with these things, I couldn't go back to the capital with me with peace of mind, and the children couldn't leave their mother to be bullied. ”
Mrs. Yan turned around to look for her daughter, and saw that her daughter was pulling her father over there, and she didn't know what to do in a hurry, like a tantrum and like a coquette, so entangled that Yan Jingshan had no choice but to follow her daughter forward.
"Okay, good ......" Mrs. Yan had tears in her eyes, "I won't disappoint Fuyi anymore, and I can't disappoint my uncle, even if they come to make trouble and bully again in the future, I will guard the door well." Rong'er, my mother handed over the help to you, when you arrive in the capital, you must protect her, this child will be desperate if she is in a hurry, I am afraid that she will offend people and cause trouble, and in the end she will suffer. ”
Zhu Rong replied solemnly: "The child will never live up to his mother's trust. ”
Mrs. Yan choked up: "Good boy, don't worry, don't worry, I'm very relieved." ”
In this case, it turned out that Yan Jingshan's calligraphy and painting that he promised to add a dowry to his daughter had not been prepared for a long time, and Fuyi was going to leave Kishu early in the morning the day after tomorrow, so he was waiting for his father's calligraphy and painting to seal the box.
The father and daughter sat opposite each other in the study, grinding ink, staring at their father to write for her, after all, they had to frame it after writing, which took a lot of effort and could not be delayed.
Yan Jingshan hesitated for a long time when he picked up the pen, he didn't know what to write, he didn't know how to write well, and finally put down the pen and said: "You go back to the room first, stare at what I do, and you will teach the students in a while, you go back first." ”
Fuyi lowered his head and didn't speak, grinding the ink hard, seeing that his daughter was wronged, Yan Jingshan could only soften his face and coax: "Daddy must write it to you, and never delay you from going out, you are staring here, Daddy is nervous, and he is trembling when he puts pen to paper." ”
Fu Yi said: "If Daddy thinks it's not good, write a new one next time and send it to me, or you send it, or I go home to pick it up, I often write it new, and I don't expect to hold it and wait for it to be valuable, I just want to hang it in the house and see it from time to time." ”
After that, the father and daughter were entangled for a long time, Yan Jingshan was so annoyed that he finally drove his daughter away, and then turned around to look at the paper and pen on the desk, and couldn't help but sigh.
He was reluctant to write, because he was afraid that when he was done, the girl should leave.
Fuyi returned to the backyard and saw that her mother was cleaning the old monster's house with her subordinates, which was the best and most spacious room in the house, she thought that her father and mother were going to move in, but the nurse said that the lady had cleaned it and kept it for the old lady.
Seeing that her daughter was about to get angry, Mrs. Yan hurriedly said, "Just make a show, my house with your father and I is very good, so I don't need to change here, not to mention that I have been beaten and scolded in this house in the past, and I am not happy to stay." We leave a room for the elderly, and when we talk about it outside, it's not that we are unfilial, it's better to be decent. But don't worry, my mother promises you that she will never let her live back again, even if your uncle and aunt die before us, and your cousin is there. ”
Hearing these words comfortably, my mother finally opened her mind, and I heard that at the dinner table that day, she deliberately reminded the uncle's family that the whole of Jizhou knew their faces, and my mother had tried her best not to disappoint herself.
Fuyi rolled up his sleeves and wanted to work with his mother: "Don't be surprised, Brother Rong also told me yesterday that I am not allowed to bully you, it is really amazing to have a son-in-law." ”
Mrs. Yan smiled, reluctant to ask her daughter to do it, but she was even more reluctant to let her mother be tired, so she helped clean up the house together, closed the doors and windows, although it was not locked, but it would not be easily opened in the future.
After that, Fuyi stood under the eaves, called all the people in the family, and explained the new rules of the family, those who were willing to stay and those who were not willing to serve their parents well, would leave after receiving the reward.
In this way, the original people will be settled, and a few more kitchens and washers will be hired, and from now on, nothing will be done by the mother herself.
In front of everyone, Fuyi said to the nurse: "My mother has to do what she wants to do, you don't have to stop her, but if there are people who are lazy and bully, like in the past, watching the old woman bully my mother, they are so happy to do nothing, and they will leave all of them behind." The rules in this house must be done well, the master and servant should be like the master and servant, they are dedicated, and my father and mother will not treat anyone badly. ”
The young lady who is about to get married, who is loyal to the lady and the lady at home, is happy, and those who are left by the old lady can't help but tremble, and they have to look at the days to come before making an idea.
But the academy will only become richer and richer in the future, and if they stay here, their lives will be a hundred times stronger than before, and no one wants to leave for a while, so they all listen respectfully to the young lady's arrangement.
After a busy pause, the day passed.
When it was dark, Zhu Rong returned from going out to run errands, and his mother-in-law had hot meals waiting for him, and Mrs. Yan asked him if he was so busy in the capital, and told the child to take care of his health.
In the front yard, Yan Jingshan's study was still lit, and Zhu Rong ate and sent his mother-in-law out, and both of them saw it.
But Mrs. Yan didn't bother her husband, handed over the dishes and chopsticks to the maid, and returned to the backyard, Zhu Rong looked at the door a few times, and vaguely saw her father-in-law sitting motionless in front of the table.
Grandpa Wei inspected here, greeted his uncle, and saw him looking at the master's study, so he said: "I went to remind the candle just now, and the master said that he wanted to write, so don't worry." ”
Zhu Rong remembered that he wanted a calligraphy and painting of his father, and hung it in the bedroom.
He went back to his room, sorted out some things, and settled them all down, while the lights in his father-in-law's study opposite were still on.
Zhu Rong dressed neatly, walked slowly, stood under the door and said, "Father, you haven't rested yet?" ”
"Is it Rong'er?" Yan Jingshan responded, "Come in, I just want to see you." ”
Zhu Rong took off his shoes and came to the door, and after sitting down, he listened to his father-in-law ask about the journey to Beijing the day after tomorrow, and took a carriage for a few days and a boat for a few days.
In the backyard, Fuyi took a citron and waited for his mother to take a bath comfortably, and after the bath, the fragrant person sat in front of the mirror, as if he was more than ten years younger, and the two girls looked at each other, and they didn't know what to calculate, so Fuyi ran away first.
"Where is she going?"
"Madame, don't move, I'll wipe your hair."
Fu Yi left his mother, and went to the front yard to find his father, tonight was the first night after their "liberation", how could my father tell his mother to stay alone in the empty room.
Running all the way, I saw two figures sitting opposite each other in the study, and I didn't need to look closely to recognize it, and it was Brother Rong who was sitting tall and straight.
Fuyi went around to the door, wanting to hear what they had to say, and then decide whether to disturb his father, but he heard his father say: "She is only seventeen years old, and no matter how many books she reads and how many people she experiences, she is still a child after all." In the past days with your mother-in-law, I failed to set a good example for her, she may not know how to get along with husband and wife, she has a lot of shortcomings, and I hope you will be more tolerant. ”
Brother Rong responded without hesitation: "Yes." ”
The father said: "I heard that she is very popular in your mansion and everyone likes her, that is her ability, but it may not be sincere." In the future, when you are husband and wife, I hope you will enlighten her more, let her untie her heart, open her heart, and treat the people around her with sincerity. And don't be too comfortable for a while, too sleek and too sophisticated, talk and do things step by step, such days, sooner or later will be tired. ”
Fuyi's heart was depressed, it turned out that her father saw her so thoroughly, it turned out that her thoughts, her thoughts, her father understood.
Yan Jingshan said: "She is a girl with a very bad temper in her bones, she grew up and studied and understood the reason, so she learned to restrain herself, but once she can't restrain herself, thousands of troops can't suppress it." When she loses her temper, be more tolerant, and wait for her to calm down and say anything well. ”
Fu Yi couldn't help but pout, silently slandering: My temper is not so bad.
However, my father was endless, afraid that he would have to talk all night, and after babbling a lot of words, he earnestly advised: "Our family is not rich, and there are very few good things that have been helped, and she almost doesn't understand gold, silver, jade, antiques and jewelry, I am afraid that she will make jokes in the capital." Please ask the old lady of the in-laws, teach her to teach her, teach her to recognize something, we are really powerless to do these things, and we are very ashamed. ”
Fu Yi turned around to break in and interrupted his father's words, but heard his father say: "Don't worry about the family, don't let her go back to her parents' house from time to time, the road is too far and too hard, as long as she is okay in the capital, we will rest assured." ”
This sentence slammed into the weakest place in Fuyi's heart, and tears couldn't help falling for a while.
Zhu Rong heard the movement, got up and came out to see, brought Fuyi into the door, took her to his father, and bowed together.
Yan Jingshan had tears in his eyes, looking at a pair of children, afraid that he couldn't help it when he opened his mouth, so he didn't wait for them to get up, so he stood up first: "I'll go back to the room, you guys clean up here, and rest early." ”
