Chapter 6 Breakfast with the Song family
Each dowry of the mahogany box has a special meaning, with the spittoon as the bucket for the children and grandchildren, which means that the branches and leaves are scattered, the children and grandchildren are full, and there are several sets of dishes and chopsticks, which means that after marrying into the husband's family, there is enough food and clothing, eating and drinking without worry, etc.
Gu Liuxi didn't understand the meaning of these things, and complained in his heart that the dowry was an unrealistic thing, and it was completely useless.
Picking and choosing in the morning, Gu Liuxi took out a few new quilts for Song Yu to change for the others, and the two of them felt cold at night, not to mention the old and thin Aunt Song.
Song Yu was grateful in his heart, but he couldn't say words of thanks, so he did what Gu Liuxi said silently.
Then Gu Liuxi took out the dragon and phoenix towel and a wedding basin, planning to use it together. One of the dragon and phoenix towels is a dragon scarf, and one is a phoenix scarf, which is held by the bride and the bride, and the wedding basin is also called the Juxi basin, which is used to hold auspicious things such as peanuts, red dates, and lotus seeds.
In addition, there is a bronze mirror, which can be put into the house to facilitate your own makeup.
Gu Liuxi didn't plan to stay in the Song family for too long, she was still a modern person in her thinking, and she didn't have the stereotypical thinking of "marrying a chicken with a chicken, marrying a dog with a dog" in ancient times, although she had some accidents with Song Yu, but if she wanted to stay in this dilapidated village for the rest of her life, she couldn't do it anyway.
We must go out, see this great river and mountain, and live freely, so as to be reborn once in vain.
During the days when she lived in the Song family, as long as the Song family treated her well, she would definitely not treat the Song family badly, but if these people were also intriguing and calculating with each other like the Gu family, she would not show half of her sincerity.
Place the mirror and dresser on a stool next to the bed to make it a simple dresser. Gu Liuxi put some jewelry in again, and after thinking about it, he locked it so as not to steal it.
Another part of the jewelry, such as silver hairpins and jade beads, is not very good, Gu Liuxi plans to take it to the pawnshop to exchange for some silver first, this Song family's hard life is unbearable for others, and she wants her to eat gruel and pickles every day, she is afraid that she will contract cancer.
After cleaning up, it was close to noon, and as soon as Gu Liuxi walked out of the door, he heard that in the courtyard, Aunt Song was pulling Song Yu to whisper something.
"Yu'er, you go and ask Miss Gu what she wants to eat, she married into our family on the first day, we can't treat her badly."
Song Yu held Aunt Song's shoulders and said in silence for a while: "But Mother, we may not be able to get what she wants to eat." ”
"That's the same reason," Aunt Song raised her sleeve and wiped her cloudy eyes, and then seemed to have made up her mind, gritted her teeth and said, "Then go to your aunt's house for your mother to change an egg, and you can always let Miss Gu eat something good." ”
Song Yu didn't say anything more, he didn't want Aunt Song to go down and beg the aunt for an egg, that woman was like a shrew, every time she saw their family, she had to cross her waist and humiliate her for a long time, Aunt Song was weak, and she scolded her so much that she couldn't raise her head, if she went to change the eggs again, she didn't know what she would be scolded for.
"Mother, I'll go hunting in the mountains tomorrow, if I'm lucky enough to hunt tigers and leopards, with animal meat and skins, take them to the market to exchange some silver, and buy an egg for Miss Gu."
Previously, in order to prepare the bride price, the family took all the prey they hunted for silver, and bought all the cloth and jewelry, but fortunately, the Gu family did not dislike it.
Aunt Song looked at Song Yu's legs worriedly, "Mother, it's going to rain again this day, don't run around, it's all painful and panicked." ”
"It's okay, I'm strong." Song Yu comforted her softly, and the mother and son returned to the stove house to prepare lunch.
In the corner, Gu Liuxi listened with a sour heart, although the Song family is poor, but Aunt Song really treats her well, and Song Yu will not treat her too badly, at least for now.
