Chapter 33: Home (3)
Zhen's gloating laughter, laughing at Bai and Li's flattering in-laws and sister-in-law in vain. The Bai family and the Li family don't care, at least they show that they welcome the peony home, care about the peony, and are generous and don't care about personal gains and losses, Mrs. Cen naturally knows their benefits and will not treat them badly.
Xue Shi thought about it, but it was another matter: "Mother, which room is the right room to move to for the things in your house?" ”
As soon as she said this, the concubines had their own plans. The three rooms were not completely empty, and they contained the private rooms that Mrs. Cen had saved over the years. Although the dowry of the peony is rich, it belongs to the peony, and no one makes up its mind (even if it does, it can't be moved), but Mrs. Cen's private room is different. If you don't have a share, you can think about it, and you can share it. But everyone knows that Mrs. Cen prefers peonies, and if the things of the two are mixed together, in the future, Mrs. Cen will partially say that it was originally a peony, then everyone can only stare dryly, and they can't even say the truth.
Mrs. Cen had already planned to let Peony stay at home for a long time and settle down at home, and these financial matters must be clarified without leaving anyone with any handle. She also didn't want Peony to take something out of her house in the future, and she would be said to have taken away her sister-in-law and niece. immediately said: "Yes, Danniang has a lot of things, I have to make room for her." I remember that there were two empty back rooms behind our warehouse, and I moved all my stuff into them. Then let someone go and tell your father that the things that were moved back from Liu's house, unimportant and large, can't be put at home, and find a suitable warehouse in our shop to put it in, and someone will take care of it. ”
He looked back at Peony and said with a smile: "Those things of yours are another set of belongings, which are available at home, except for the valuable, soft and daily use, don't take them back, so as to save the house from crowding." When it's properly placed, ask your dad to give you the keys and the list, and then let someone pick it up when needed. What do you think? ”
Peony nodded again and again: "But it's arranged by my mother." Every time she spent more time with Mrs. Cen, her admiration for Mrs. Cen went to the next level. When she moves out in the future, she only needs to carry away her own box cage from the three porch houses, and other furniture and other things do not need to be touched at all, which is clear and easy. Everyone had nothing to say.
When Mrs. Cen saw her nodding, she assigned the Zhen family and the Li family, two rivals, to keep an eye on the people moving their own cages, but asked the Xue family to arrange the beds, tables, chairs, tents and curtains that Peony wanted to use. As for the Bai family, they were assigned to arrange dinner and drive the children out, leaving Zhang and Sun alone to talk to Peony in the house.
In the evening, there was a commotion outside, but He Zhizhong and He Dalang led a group of people to carry more than 20 pots of peony flowers into the backyard. After a break in the chaos, He Zhizhong sent everyone away, leaving only Mrs. Cen, Peony, Mother Lin, Yuhe and other four people in the house to inquire about the situation of the Liu family in detail.
Peony calmly told the details of the matter, except for the ambiguous key places, which were vaguely skimmed, and left it to Mrs. Cen to add later.
He Zhizhong had already heard some things from Mother Lin and Yuhe on the road, but at this time it was just confirmation. The matter is probably completely clear, who is right and wrong, whether this day can go on, and whether there is a possibility of reunion. At his age, he no longer has He Dalang's temper of a little bit of artillery, and he is willing to focus more on solving things.
At this moment, he sighed as he touched his gray hair and sighed after walking around the room a few times with his hands behind his back.
Peony and Mrs. Cen walked briskly, but he had been grinding with Liu Chengcai and Liu Chang all day. The father and son of the Liu family went out for a spin, and after coming back, they had calmed down, and their attitude was very different from before. Liu Chengcai said all the good things, Liu Chang brought tea to him to apologize, and the father and son said in unison that if Peony wanted to go back to her parents' house to live for a while, she would stay longer, and when she was discouraged, she also asked Liu Chang to apologize and take her back in style.
Things have come to this point, how can it be so easy? He naturally disagreed, and took out a posture to discuss the matter of reconciliation and separation with the Liu family, so the father and son of the Liu family found excuses one after another to avoid it. Holding it until the evening, I can't help but go home, most of Peony's things have moved home, but he and Da Lang are holding their stomachs of gas and water.
Since Liu Chang threatened him, Peony knew that this matter could not be smooth sailing. Even in modern times, divorce is also a technical and energetic work, and when it comes to property disputes, it is even more of a test for people, so what about this ancient time? So she was mentally prepared and didn't feel too disappointed. comforted He Zhizhong and said: "Daddy, don't worry, as long as you don't suffer in their family, your daughter is not afraid of spending time with him." But it's just that for the sake of her daughter, she has caused a lot of trouble to her father and brother. is also cheap in vain, and his family takes up his father's hard-earned money. ”
He Zhizhong patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it more." Since the money was spent for you, it is part of your dowry, and even if you want to return it in the future, it is yours. Daddy does all this for your own good. If you are not good, then it will be meaningless, and you will wait in peace, and I will take care of it after consulting with your brothers. ”
As he was talking, the next person came to report: "The cousin of the Li family is here." ”
He Zhizhong hurriedly shouted, please come in.
Peony was about to thank Li Xun, so he said: "Daddy, thanks to my cousin's help, I also lost my anger for me yesterday, I want to thank him personally." ”
Mrs. Cen said: "It's time to thank him." Leave him for dinner, and you father and son will have a drink with him. Another day, I prepared a ceremony to thank you. ”
He Zhizhong responded and called someone to call Da Lang.
After a while, Li Xun personally brought a big food box in, and when he saw everyone, he first smiled and saluted, and then handed the food box to Xue's family, and said with a smile: "Cousin-in-law, this is my uncle's favorite cake, which is made by the hammer maker of the palace food bureau, its taste is crispy and beautiful, indescribable, and everyone eats it quickly." ”
Everyone laughed, and Mrs. Cen smiled: "Okay, don't blame your shop for being so good, it turns out that the guys all learned from you." ”
Li Xun laughed: "Things are really good, but being humble is contrived." ”
He Dalang glanced him up and down, pointed to his head and feet and smiled: "Bah, you still played tricks......"
Peony looked over and saw that the black gauze hat Li Xun was wearing today was not only the most popular high turban, but also the head and feet were different. Coupled with his bright green silk crotch robe, he looked complacent, just like an ancient fashionable young man.
Li Xun didn't twist either, and generously turned around to show the He family's half-grown children, and said with a smile: "You hurry up and learn from me, you will follow the rise in a few days." ”
A few half-sized sons of the He family were really eager to try, laughing and playing with each other's heads, He Zhizhong said with a calm face: "Which of you has the ability of your cousin, I promise him to fold it as much as he wants, even if it is to fold a flower, it is okay." With a single sentence, a group of grandsons were successfully restrained, and each of them quietly withdrew with their hands down.
Li Jingfang said: "I heard that Danniang went home, so I couldn't rest assured, so I came over to take a look." If there is anything you need my help with, please don't be polite to your aunt and uncle. ”
Peony stepped forward and gave a deep salute and said, "Thank you cousin for your help and save Danniang from the dire situation." ”
Li Xun smiled: "It's good to be able to come out, and my family doesn't say those kind words." He looked the peony up and down, and said in a good mood: "The spirit is not bad, just now I heard that the animal has a vivid hand, and I am worried that you have suffered a big loss." ”
Peony wanted to say, I am suffering a small loss and taking a big advantage, not to mention that I haven't suffered much yet. But she didn't dare to say it, so she only smiled: "I'm in a good mood, no matter how painful it is, it won't hurt." ”
Li Xun looked at her deeply and said, "It's good if you think about it." When that's over, forget all that should be forgotten. ”
Peony responded with a smile.
He Zhizhong touched his beard and thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, I really have something to discuss with you." You come with me, and so does Dalang. ”
Li Xun has always had great respect for He Zhizhong, a distant uncle who has done a prosperous business, so he immediately put away the smile and followed He Zhizhong and his son to the study seriously.
As soon as a few people sat down, He Erlang also came back.
He Zhizhong said: "I think about it, Danniang is afraid that this matter will not be good." His family is a man, he already has children, and in a few years, he will still have the same wife and concubine. Danniang is different, she will be gone if she drags her youth, and if she drags it out for a lifetime, it will be over. Money is a thing that you don't bring in life, you don't bring it in death, and you can earn it again if you don't have it. For the sake of her future, I don't think it's better to do this, and in a few days we will go to find Liu Chengcai and exchange that piece of paper and that money for Danniang's freedom. What do you think? ”
He Dalang didn't do it: "Didn't Danniang suffer this loss in vain?" It's really infuriating. ”
He Zhizhong sighed: "It's not worth it to lose Danniang's youth for a few years or even a lifetime in order to take one breath." Since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials, and now it is the Liu family who is at a loss, and we have made a slight concession, and his family has nothing to say. Why do you want to offend his family once and hurt him, and in the future, he will stumble on our family openly and secretly? ”
He Erlang said angrily: "Although what Daddy said is reasonable, what he did at the beginning was a matter of taking the chestnut in the fire, and not making a feud has already been settled." The Liu family is a narrow-minded villain, even if we give in, he will hate Peony for the rest of his life, and he will take revenge on us at every opportunity. ”
