Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Third New Year's Greetings
One night, Liang Ji Minguo, as Jiang Shuangrui said, did not return until the third watch in the middle of the night
Shen Muqing put on his clothes and tiptoed to peep, and saw Shise and Chunshu going back and forth to fetch water and pour water, tossing for a long time before they quieted down. 【】
When I saw Liang Jimin again the next morning, he was dressed in black shoes, and he looked as elegant as a chrysanthemum, which was more noble than usual.
Or, Liang Jimin is really a chrysanthemum, the more she goes through the wind and frost, the more brilliant it becomes.
Shen Muqing looked at Liang Jimin, who was sitting at the kang table and looked personable and elegant, even if he was eating, and thought a little absent-mindedly.
"What? Isn't it delicious early today? Liang Jimin looked at Shen Muqing with a smile, and his tone was earnest.
"Oh!" Shen Muqing came back to his senses and suddenly became a little uncertain.
In front of the staring Li family, can he really show a deep affection for Liang Jimin?
The afterglow swept to Liang Youhui, who was sitting next to him and eating silver steamed buns.
My heart moved.
Liang Youhui followed. Let's have a more happy atmosphere.
Shen Muqing smiled: "I was thinking about it. Why don't you let Megumi go out with us! ”
The corners of Liang Jimin's mouth twitched slightly. Liang Youhui had already rushed over and hugged Shen Muqing: "Okay." All right. Third brother. You tell your mother. I'll accompany you back to your mother's house. ”
Liang Jimin was a little hesitant.
"If you can't say it. I'll go tell you! Shen Muqing sighed secretly in his heart. Our family has a simple population. There aren't so many rules. My wife also likes Young-Megue. You can rest assured. There will be nothing wrong! ”
Liang Youhui looked at Liang Jimin with sparkling eyes. Full of hope. It's hard to refuse.
Liang Jimin wavered.
There was a resolute look on his face: "I'll just say it!" lest my mother blame her...... Let you be implicated. ”
Also! No matter what, the son is always his own, no matter how bad the words are, no matter how unsatisfactory the actions are, he will forgive when he is angry. But the daughter-in-law is different, she is from someone else's family......
Shen Muqing waited for Liang Jimin to go to Feng's place, and she urged Liang Youhui: "It's good to go back early." ”
Liang Youhui opened her big eyes: "Does the third sister-in-law miss his wife?" ”
Shen Muqing nodded, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of guests in our family during the New Year, and we went back late, and my wife is afraid that she won't be able to talk to us when she is talking." ”
Liang Youhui laughed: "That's so good, it's lively!" ”
Shen Muqing only urged her to eat quickly, and he took this opportunity to check the gifts he brought home.
After a while, Liang Jimin turned back with a happy face: "My mother agreed!" ”
Liang Youhui cheered, and the corners of Shen Muqing's mouth curled slightly.
The three of them went to the Shen family.
There was a lot of traffic in front of the gate of the Shen family, and Shen Muqing asked the coachman to turn around to the corner gate on the east side.
Liang Jimin, who was riding a horse and following the car, stepped forward and lifted the curtain, and said strangely: "Why don't you go to the main gate?" ”
"Let's go see my wife first!" Shen Muqing was full of happy smiles when he thought that he would be able to see Li Shishang soon, "I'll see the master later." ”
"Is that okay?" Liang Jimin was a little unimpressed.
"What's not to do," Shen Muqing said with a smile, "You see so many guests at the front door." We went, only to cause a commotion. It's better to quietly go to the corner door. ”
Liang Jimin didn't squeak again.
Turning to the alley in the east, six or seven sedan chairs were also parked at the corner gate, and Mu Qing was stunned for four or five cars.
The mother-in-law guarding the door saw that it was Shen Muqing's car, and while guarding the threshold, she sent someone to the inner house to communicate.
As soon as Shen Muqing got out of the car, Wang's mother led her maid and daughter-in-law to greet her.
She saluted Shen Jimin from afar: "Mrs. has been reading it early in the morning!" ”
Shen Muqing pointed to the carriage outside the door next to him: "Who is this?" Coming so early? ”
Mother Wang said disapprerovingly: "It's still those people from previous years!" ”
The two said and went to Chaoxi Hall.
When Li saw Shen Muqing, Liang Jimin, and Liang Youhui, he didn't mention how happy he was, and hurriedly called the maid's daughter-in-law to move the chair and stool, and serve tea and snacks.
Most of the official wives sitting in the room were Shen Muqing's acquaintances, and there were a few faces. But whether they knew each other or not, they all came forward to greet Shen Muqing.
Shen Muqing generously returned the salute one by one and greeted him.
Liang Youhui shrank and leaned against Shen Muqing's side.
Shen Muqing clasped Liang Youhui's hand and saluted the three of them.
Li smiled and beckoned Liang Youhui: "Come, give you a big red envelope." ”
Liang Youhui saw that Li was kind, and the women in the room looked at her with kindness, she relaxed, stepped forward to take Li's red envelope knee and saluted Li.
A lady in the household department looked at Liang Youhui and smiled: "Whose girl is this, she looks really beautiful." ”
Li smiled: "This is my girl's sister-in-law." ”
The lady complimented her when she heard it: "Oh, I've only heard that my aunt and sister-in-law have a good relationship, but I've never seen anything so good." ”
Some people also flattered: "Mrs. Li is really well-taught!" ”
Liang Jimin's brows furrowed almost invisibly.
"This should be your uncle!" Someone turned their attention to Liang Jimin.
Liang Jimin's face turned red, and he gave a salute to the ladies in an elegant manner.
Li Shi looked at Liang Jimin and smiled from ear to ear: "Exactly." The third son of the Dingyuan Hou family. ”
"What a blessing! I can marry
The girl. ”
"Not really. Look at my aunt and grandmother like this......"
Flattery followed.
Shen Muqing smiled, but let out a long sigh in his heart.
She didn't want to go to the front gate because she was afraid of meeting Shen Zhen's subordinates or colleagues, but she didn't expect these official wives to be ruthless.
Liang Youhui was triumphant when she heard this, but Liang Jimin's face turned red.
Li couldn't see that Liang Jimin was embarrassed and called Wang's mother: "Take my uncle to Jiusizhai." After speaking, he looked at Liang Jimin with a smile and explained: "The master and Zhang Ge Lao and Hu Ge Lao are in the study - you go to get to know each other." ”
Liang Jimin responded respectfully and hurried away.
******
Coming out of the Shen family, Shen Muqing's face was full of countenance - Li's complexion was very good, and when she asked Wang's mother in private, Wang's mother told her that Li's medication was very active during this time, and her appetite was better than before.
Youhui is also very happy.
She turned the jade on her wrist and smiled at Shen Muqing: "Look at this bracelet, it is verdant and green, it is so beautiful." ”
Shen Muqing smiled: "It's good if you like it." ”
This bracelet is one of the gifts that Liang Youhui just received.
Liang Youhui took out her purse from her sleeve again, rubbing the jade pendant inside: "This is also very beautiful." ”
Shen Muqing nodded: "It's not the usual old style of fish and magpies that have plums every year - it's a chrysanthemum in full bloom." I look at this jade is not bad. ”
Liang Youhui smiled.
As soon as I got home, I showed it to Mrs. Tai.
Mrs. Tai took the pair of jade bracelets and looked at them carefully for a long time, smiled and returned them to Liang Youhui: "Put it away carefully." Then Liang Jimin was left to speak, and Shen Muqing and Liang Youhui went back first.
The two went to Gui Ai Hall, and Liang Youhui showed Feng again, Feng was slightly surprised, and looked at Shen Muqing and said, "My in-laws were present at that time. ”
Shen Muqing smiled and nodded, and Liang Youhui had already grabbed the words on the side: "Originally, it was going to be given to the third sister-in-law, but Mrs. Shen said, my hands are plump, and the hands of the third sister-in-law are slender, and I wear this jade bracelet to look better than the third sister-in-law, so Mrs. Wang gave it to me." Mrs. Shen also gave me a big red envelope. As he spoke, he took out the purse given by Li from his bosom and poured out all the gold bills inside, "There are fifty-five in total." I got a red envelope, the third brother got a red envelope, and the third sister-in-law also got a red envelope. ”
Small fish of different shapes cast with red gold are dressed in red thread, lying quietly on Feng's scarlet felt mat, shining with dazzling gold.
Feng didn't even look at it, and asked Liang Youhui: "Did Ji Min stay with you in the house all day today?" ”
Liang Youhui shook his head with a smile: "As soon as the third brother went, his wife asked him to take him to Lord Shen's study, and said that there were two pavilion elders who were also there." At noon, my third sister-in-law and I waited for the third brother to come back for dinner, but the little maid in the front yard said that Lord Shen took the third brother to the house of a waiter in the Ministry of Rites to eat and drink...... Only my third sister-in-law and I accompanied my wife in the inner house. ”
There was a little joy between Feng's eyebrows.
She picked up the red thread, and the little red gold fish that was worn on it swayed from side to side as it had just been fished out of the river.
"This is really a new thing," Feng Shi looked at the gadget in his hand, "It's really a shame that my in-laws can think of it." ”
Shen Muqing felt slightly sad.
In the past, when Li's illness was not so serious, he not only spent all kinds of gold and silver to reward people, but also spent time making clothes, shoes and socks for her......
She lowered her head slightly and blinked vigorously, letting the wetness in her sockets quickly dissipate.
Liang Youhui didn't notice Shen Muqing's sadness, she played with those small fish with great interest: "The third brother is an eagle, and the wife said that she wants to wish the third brother a prosperous journey; The third sister-in-law's plum blossom is to learn to bloom in Ling Han. ”
"Really?" Feng touched his daughter's head with a smile, "I'll bring your third brother's pony to me later......"
The mother and daughter were talking, and the little maid came in and said, "Madam, the young grandmother is back!" ”
Feng Shi said "oh" and ordered Shen Muqing: "You take Youhui back!" ”
As she spoke, she asked Mother Dong to put away the gift that Shen Muqing brought back and instructed Liang Youhui: "Put the things away, this is a piece of people's thoughts, don't lose it." ”
Liang Youhui happily agreed, and when she put away her things, the two of them saluted Feng and retreated.
Walking to the door, they ran into Wang Wenan.
The three children all had cheerful expressions, large and small purses hanging from their chests, and shouted "third aunt" and "second aunt" on their chests.
It can be seen that the children are having a good time at their grandfather's house.
The youngest Brother Kang also took out a small golden bean from his purse and handed it to Liang Youhui: "Second aunt, I'll give you one too", Liang Youhui giggled, Wang Wenxi hurriedly snatched the golden bean in Brother Kang's hand, and blamed Ma's mother, who was holding him, "Be careful that the child swallows it."
Ma's mother was busy confessing with a smiling face, and the two people stood on the platform and exchanged a few words of greeting, and then dispersed.
