Chapter 311: Sisters
The world is often like this, there is no intention to plant flowers and flowers, and there is no intention to plant willows and willows.
How could Siniang at the beginning think that the family affairs that Jin told her now were not as good as what she avoided at the beginning?
And Wang Qi, who married to the Niu family for Liuniang, couldn't help but get the dowry money of 3,000 taels of silver from the Jin family, and the in-laws were still in harmony, and the husband was also promising, just waiting for the nomination of the gold list in the coming year, and then rose to the top with the help of the Wang family. And with the support of the Wang family, as long as Wang Qi does not make too many mistakes, her life will be smooth.
Siniang subconsciously straightened her back and found a seat to sit. She has always been a high and low character, and she used to look down on Wang Qi, who was helpless, but now she still thinks that she is more noble than Wang Qi.
Because of the addition of Siniang, the originally harmonious atmosphere in the house has cooled down a little.
Siniang showed a big smile towards Wang Qi: "How can the sixth cousin have the kung fu to come over today?" He rolled his eyes, as if he remembered something, and covered his mouth and smiled, "By the way, the sixth cousin-in-law is going to Beijing to participate in next year's spring examination this time, isn't the sixth cousin here to ask my uncle and grandfather and third uncle to help?" If you want me to say, whether you can be admitted to the champion Tanhua or you still have to learn with real talent, the small place in Qingcheng, Shandong may be seen in the face of the Wang family and give it a convenience, but the capital is different. ”
Siniang's words were not only Wang Qi, but even Yuan Niang's face was a little unbearable.
What she meant was that Niu Cen Haiqiu took the first place in the exam because of the power of the Wang family, not with real skills, and scolded Yuan Niang's husband together.
Wang Qi said calmly: "Siniang, you misunderstood, although my husband is not a talented man, he is also famous." This time I went to Beijing. He never told people that his Yue's family was our royal family, but the people who came to visit him on weekdays also broke through the threshold. Whether it is true talent or real-learning, I think the eyes of the world are bright. ”
Siniang pursed her lips and was still thinking about saying something, but Sanniang picked up the tea and said lightly: "Okay, fourth sister." You can come out today to meet guests. Presumably, the illness is almost gone, so go back and pack up the things you need for your journey. Mrs. Lin has been to her mother many times to ask. The eldest aunt thinks that you are tight, and it is not convenient for us to stay. ”
Siniang's face turned pale when she heard this. Xun Ran looked at Sanniang with tears and said, "Third sister, is this going to drive me away?" ”
Sanniang didn't eat her at all, and her expression was indifferent: "I don't understand what the fourth sister said, didn't the eldest aunt send someone to pick you up?" Originally, my grandfather and grandmother would not leave until the next year. Someone took you back first. I don't want you to suddenly get sick. Now that it's a great deal, you should naturally obey your mother's arrangement, otherwise you know that people know that you are close to our three-room room and are willing to live more. ”
"You ......" Siniang choked and got up angrily.
Sanniang didn't even look at her, but shouted at the maid at the door: "What are you doing stupidly? Didn't you see that the fourth lady got up and went back to pack her things? Don't hold on to it yet. ”
The two maids at the door naturally obeyed the serious master, and walked over without the slightest hesitation.
Siniang was embarrassed by Sanniang in public, and her face was very unsightly. But in the end, he only threw the curtain out of his breath.
"Sanniang, don't you treat her like this? She has a small heart. I'm going to hate you. Yuan Niang looked at the curtain that was still swaying and frowned.
Sanniang raised her eyebrows and smiled: "So what?" "Can she still be afraid of Liuniang's revenge?
Yuan Niang looked at Sanniang in a daze, and felt that she didn't know this sister anymore. In her heart. Sanniang has always been gentle and easy to speak. In the past, when she was provoked by Liuniang, she was just a good-natured smile, and she had never been as strong as she is today.
Sanniang didn't care what Yuan Niang thought, she smiled and pulled the two to talk, and the atmosphere gradually became warm again.
After that, Sanniang accompanied the two to visit Erniang and Wuniang.
Erniang just took the medicine, but she still held on to meet the guests. She is becoming more and more cautious now, and she never causes trouble for the Xue family at home, and is always well-behaved and clever. However, Sanniang knew that she was so cautious because she was so cautious because she had decided her whereabouts now and didn't want any more twists and turns. So even Siniang, who came with her face, wanted to see her, but she didn't see her.
Wu Niang has been embroidering in her room recently, saying that she wants to help San Niang embroider the dowry. Because she was worried in her heart, her illness always got better and came again, and she couldn't stop it.
But when Sanniang took Yuan Niang and Wang Qi to see her, she was also very happy. looked at Wang Qi, who was smiling sincerely in front of her, thinking that in the second room of the Sun family's main house, the time when the Sun family and the Jin family were forced to get married, it was like a lifetime away.
At noon, Xue kept Yuan Niang and Wang Qi to eat.
When sending the two out, Sanniang seemed to have unintentionally said to Yuan Niang: "In your own home, you have to treat yourself as a master before you can become a master." Don't show any mercy to those who don't know the rules. Otherwise, over time, others will not be able to figure out who is the real master. ”
Seeing that Yuan Niang tilted her head and was thinking about her own words, Sanniang rolled her eyes and said directly: "It means that you are the young lady in your house, and you are the biggest in the inner courtyard except for your mother-in-law, all people except your in-laws and husbands dare to challenge your status, spread wild in front of you, make you feel a little uncomfortable, you are not allowed to show mercy, and you must be rectified to death!" And now that you are in Beijing and your in-laws are not around, then you are the biggest in your inner courtyard. If you can't do what I said, you're embarrassing the Wang family! We don't want to recognize you as a big sister in the future! ”
Yuan Niang understood this, frowned and thought about it, nodded and said, "I know, I won't embarrass my family and make you ashamed." ”
Sanniang is satisfied, for people like Yuan Niang, she still has to draw a circle for her, and tell her who wants to be beaten to death with a stick mercilessly, otherwise it will drag down the mother's family, and the effect will be better. This is called individualized teaching.
After sending off Yuan Niang and Wang Qi, Sanniang returned to her room to rest, and Wu Niang came over.
"Third sister, this is the quilt and pillow towel I embroidered for you, see if you like it or not. I wanted to show you when my big sister and sixth cousin came just now. But it would be inappropriate to let others know that your dowry was not embroidered by yourself, so I waited for them to leave before taking it. Wu Niang's face was a little red because of excitement, and she looked much better than just now.
The dowry of the girl is usually embroidered by herself, so that she will appear to be hardworking and capable in front of her in-laws. Even if you are not good at embroidery and have the conditions to find others to help, you will not make a big fuss, but will only find your own grandmother or personal maid, and even your own mother and sisters.
The maid behind Wu Niang was holding a few folded embroideries in her hands. Wu Niangniang took out one of the larger ones, beckoned Bai Guo to help pull up one corner, and asked Bai Ying, who was standing on the side, to carry the other corner.
This is a big red brocade quilt embroidered with a mandarin duck playing in the water.
"How? Is it good-looking? I thought only the mandarin ducks were too simple, so I embroidered lotus leaves and lotus canopies in the water. On the case, bamboo branches and butterflies are also embroidered among the flowers. Wu Niang pointed to the back, smiling with crooked eyebrows, she hadn't smiled like this for a long time.
Sanniang sighed in her heart, although the brocade quilt was suddenly cumbersome, the layout was good, there was no cumbersomeness, the stitches were very fine, and there was no wrong stitch. It can be seen that Wu Niang really put a lot of thought into it.
Stretched out his hand and stroked the blue-topped mandarin duck on the top, the material for the bottom was very good, soft and slippery.
Sanniang's record is the material that Xue's gave to Wuniang to make clothes last time, and it was sent by Xue Ruyu's in-laws in Tianjin, saying that it is silk, which is very precious. One of them got a horse, and when the Xue family invited a tailor to measure Wu Niang, Wu Niang said that she was sick and did not let people in, but the material was left in the end. I don't want to, but I let her do the quilt.
"Sister, don't you like it?" Seeing that Sanniang didn't speak, Wuniang was a little disappointed.
Sanniang shook her head and smiled sincerely: "No, I like it very much." Just saw that your embroidery has made great progress, so I looked more carefully. ”
Wu Niang was very happy when she heard this, and smiled a little proudly: "That's natural, I'm afraid that this good material will be embroidered, so I deliberately drew a picture with rice paper as big as the quilt first, just like it." Look at this pair of pillows. ”
The pillow towel is made of the same material, and even the pattern on the head is the same, but it is much smaller.
"I like it very much, thank you, Wu Niang." Sanniang took the pillow towel and said with a smile.
Wu Niang pouted: "I am your sister, so naturally I should help you embroider the dowry, what is there to thank for?" By the way, I still want to embroider a bed of tents, do you say it's better to still embroider this pattern, or embroider that kind of Baizi map? ”
Sanniang asked the maid to put away the things well, shook her head and said, "It's enough for you to embroider these, Sanqi and they are also embroidering." Just leave it to them. ”
Wu Niang shook her head: "No, they are theirs, mine is mine, I want to embroider a whole set for you!" The tent is still embroidered to the qualified pattern, and I will embroider an additional bed of Baizi that can be used in winter, so it is decided. ”
After speaking, as if she was afraid that Sanniang would refuse, Wuniang hurriedly said: "Then sister, you rest, I'll go back." I'll show it to you when it's done. As he spoke, he took the maid and flew away.
Sanniang looked at her back and shook her head helplessly.
Bai Ying glanced at Sanniang and sighed: "Miss, I see that Miss Fifth is really close to you, not to mention anything else, just this thought, if you don't treat you as your own sister, you won't be so careful." There was not a single mistake in the stitch on the top just now. ”
Sanniang smiled: "I know, the only person I hated from beginning to end was Aunt Cui." "Wu Niang was just tired by her own mother. (To be continued)
