Chapter 242: Aunt Sister-in-law
"How can you have Mu Qing's good temper!" The eldest lady smiled when she heard this, "You have to fight for everything!" ”
Grandma Zheng San pulled the sleeve of the eldest lady: "When will I fight?" My aunt and grandmother said this, but I didn't follow it. Pouted, looking coquettish, it could be seen that she had a good relationship with the eldest lady.
The eldest lady laughed as expected: "You want me to list them all!" ”
"Auntie and grandmother are about to spare me, don't let me lose face in front of my juniors." Grandma Zheng San begged for mercy again and again, and the people in the house laughed when they saw it.
The child returned to Shen Muqing's arms, Shen Muqing turned around to breastfeed the child, and when the eldest lady and Zheng San's grandmother saw it, they sat outside the tent with a smile. After the child finished feeding, he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
The eldest lady and Grandma Zheng San accompanied Shen Muqing to talk to relieve boredom.
"Have you thought about the child's name?"
Shen Muqing said with a smile: "Xianggong said to see if there are any good names in the Book of Songs." ”
"After all, Ye is a scholar, unlike us, who take the name of something he sees." Grandma Zheng San smiled, "Look at me, on the thirteenth birthday of August, I called Wanggui." One is that there are osmanthus flowers in August, and the other is that Gui Tonggui is a noble character......"
Only then did Shen Muqing know that Zheng San's grandmother's name was Wanggui.
"I think it's a good name." The eldest lady smiled, "The third brother respects you, Yan'er is a filial child, and you will have a good life in the future." ”
Yan'er is the name of Zheng Sanye's only son.
Grandma Zheng San smiled when she heard this: "Yan'er gets her name according to the eight characters of her birthday, or else, please ask a senior monk to show the girl the eight characters of her birthday, see if there is a lack of the five elements, and take a milk name according to the five elements!" ”
"Master Guangyuan in Guangdong has profound Dharma," the eldest lady muttered, "Why don't you ask Master Guangyuan to take a look?" ”
"Guangdong is too far away!" Shen Muqing hurriedly said, "How much does that cost!" ”
The eldest lady and Grandma Zheng San both laughed.
"You can rest assured." Grandma Zheng San smiled, "The eldest lady has arranged everything." In the future, as long as you don't get addicted to gambling, not to mention inviting a master from Guangdong to Huding to tell your child's fortune, it is no problem to invite monks and Taoist aunts from Kyoto to Huding every year to do a 7749-day water and land dojo! ”
Shen Muqing was slightly stunned.
"It's all because of me that Sa'er suffers so much." The smile on the eldest lady's face gradually became a little bitter, "I can't help anywhere else, I can only leave some money for you......" As she spoke, she suddenly grabbed Shen Muqing's hand, "Muqing, thank you for ......."
Shen Muqing was a little puzzled.
"Sa'er doesn't seem to care about anything, but she's actually a very stubborn person." The eldest lady's tears fell down, "He is thinking about you wholeheartedly...... I didn't expect that the master of the in-laws would agree to this family business, and I didn't expect you to follow him to Shanghai....... Good boy, the great kindness of the Shen family, I will remember it in my heart for the rest of my life......"
"Don't say that!" Shen Muqing struggled to sit up, "Xianggong is good to me, and I naturally want to be good to him....... You have tormented me when you say this. ”
"Yes." Grandma Zheng San hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to the eldest lady, "You say this, how can Mu Qing answer." It's better to give more money. You say yes, Mu Qing! As he spoke, he took a pillow and put it behind Shen Muqing's back and let her rest by leaning on it.
The eldest lady was amused by Grandma Zheng San: "You can rest assured, I have left a large amount of money for Sa'er, and I have prepared a box of tea money for several nephews ........and nieces."
Shen Muqing also laughed: "You don't have to give money - blood relatives are blood relatives, and the Xiang Guild will make money, which is like someone from the Zheng family." ”
"Mu Qing, don't be polite to our aunt and grandmother." Grandma Zheng San smiled, "Our eldest aunt and grandmother, that is a bit of a stone into gold.......
The three of them were talking and laughing, and a little maid came in and said, "Grandma, a carriage came outside, saying that it was ordered by the ninth aunt and grandmother to come from Qingyuan, Shandong Province to give the girl a full moon gift." ”
Shen Muqing was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Please come in." ”
Xiao Sa's sister Xiao Yunniang ranked ninth among the sisters of the Xiao family and married into a family surnamed Zhuang in Qingyuan, Shandong.
At the beginning, the day of their marriage was set in a hurry, and the people in the old lady's room came, but the aunt and grandmother who got married and the people in the other rooms only arrived, not people. At that time, she also asked Xiao Sa which gift was given by Xiao Yunniang. Xiao Sa didn't know very well, and later called Pang Debaolai, only to know that the dealer had sent a wenge 800 Arhat ivory filigree insert as a gift. She went out of her way to see the screen - the Luohan carving was lifelike, the filigree was exquisite, and it was worth it at first glance, and she was very impressed at that time.
The thought flashed through her mind, and she heard the surprised voice of the eldest lady: "What did you say? From Shandong Qingyuan? Do you hear me? ”
The little maid nodded again and again: "The mother who came to knock said that it was the nursing mother of Aunt Jiu3." Specially from Qingyuan, Shandong. ”

"It's Yun Niang!" Grandma Zheng San's face was full of surprise when she heard this, and she stood up and walked out, "I'll go." ”
"Qingyuan is thousands of miles away from Huding, and it takes more than a month to take a car ......," the eldest lady muttered, "Why did you suddenly think of having someone give a full moon courtesy?" ”
Shen Muqing also felt a little strange.
The atmosphere in the room became oppressive.
After a while, Grandma Zheng San led a capable woman in her thirties and walked in. As soon as the woman entered the door, she knelt down and saluted Shen Muqing: "Slave Zhou Wang's family greets grandma." He saluted the eldest lady again: "Say hello to the eldest lady." ”
Shen Muqing motioned for Mingxia to step forward and help her: "How are we nine girls and grandmothers?" ”
"Thanks to Grandma, everything is fine!" Zhou Wang smiled, "It's just that our grandmother heard that my uncle and grandmother were pregnant, and counting the days are these few days, I was specially sent to say hello to my grandmother." So saying, two able-bodied women came in with a cage.
The eldest lady frowned: "Just for this matter?" "I don't really believe it.
Zhou Wang smiled and said, "Don't worry, grandma, grandma is fine." The in-laws like it, they respect the father-in-law, and the big and small things in the family are only counted by the grandmother's nod. It's just that I was worried about my sister-in-law's sister-in-law and my niece, so I sent my slave and maid. She spoke in a very respectful tone, but in Shen Muqing's ears, there was a sense of alienation.
The eldest lady also felt it, her expression was slightly stunned, and she said half-loudly: "You are her nursing mother, and I am very relieved to have you by my side." ”
That week, Wang smiled and said: "It's just that grandma didn't expect the eldest lady to be here, and she didn't prepare any gifts, so I'll kowtow to the eldest lady for grandma!" As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed.
The eldest lady looked at Zhou Wang's expression, who was kneeling in front of her, with a somewhat complicated expression, sighed softly, and said a little lonely: "You get up!" When she went back to see Yun Niang, she said that her brother and sister-in-law were hanging on her, and asked her to communicate more with her brother and sister-in-law. ”
"That's nature!" Zhou Wang got up and looked at the eldest lady with a smile, "Speaking of which, our grandmother is a person who repays the grace of a drop of water. That year, the seventh young master passed by Shandong and went to Qingyuan to visit our grandmother, and our grandmother has always kept it in mind. The seventh young master got married and happened to have a pregnant grandmother, so it was inconvenient to hurry, otherwise, he followed the stewards to Kyoto. For this, our grandmother felt guilty, so this time I was instructed to make sure that the gifts were delivered on time no matter what. As he spoke, he smiled at Shen Muqing and said, "The things are not valuable, but they are all made by our grandmother herself, and the courtesy is light and affectionate, and I ask my uncle and grandmother not to dislike it." ”
As she spoke, the two men who carried the cage opened it.
Because of the distance, Shen Muqing couldn't see it very clearly, only to see Grandma Zheng San take a small red brocade dress from the box and smiled: "Oh, it's a small dress made for my niece!" ”
This week, Wang's speech was soft and hard, without the appearance of a servant, but the eldest lady and Grandma Zheng San were not angry when they heard it...... As soon as Shen Muqing heard it, he knew that there was an article in it. But she didn't want to get involved. Speaking of which, this is all in the past, I am neither a party nor a participant, where is the right to discuss something!
She smiled and said: "As my mother said, sending goose feathers for thousands of miles is a light courtesy." What's more, it was done by Grandma Jiu herself, how can there be any reason to dislike it, I am afraid that I will let Grandma Jiu do it, and I can't go in my heart. ”
"Grandma Jiu and Seventh Young Master are the same mother," Zhou Wang said with a smile, "Naturally, you are more intimate than others, even if you work hard, you should also do it, and your uncle and grandmother must not take it to heart." "It's completely a tone of being in charge.
The eldest lady has a bad relationship with Xiao Sa, she knows it, and now it seems that the relationship with Xiao Sa's sister Xiao Yunniang is not very good.......
Shen Muqing didn't want to embarrass the eldest lady, so after a few words of greeting with Zhou Wang's family, he called Mingxia in and asked her to take Zhou Wang's family and the servant women who came with her down to eat and rest.
Zhou Wang's family did not humble and bowed to the three masters in the house, and followed Mingxia to retreat.
The eldest lady looked at the back of Zhou Wang's family, and her expression was still a little stunned.
Shen Muqing sighed softly, gave Grandma Zheng San a look, and ordered the magpie with a smile: "Quick, bring the things sent by Grandma Jiu and I'll take a look!" ”
The magpie and Huang Ying struggled to carry the cage to Shen Muqing's side, and Grandma Zheng San helped clear the things.
A crown of gold silk crepe, a large red satin gold eight auspicious hat, and a box full of clothes. There are all kinds of fabrics with white flowers on a red background wearing butterfly satin, green flowers on a yellow background, and silver-red carved silk....... At the bottom is a small box, open to see, it turned out to be two pairs of gold bracelets, four gold and gemstone rings, two red gold collars, one inlaid with gold inlaid with coral agate rubies, and one with red gold filigree.
Where is this goose feather, it's just a wild goose!
Shen Muqing thought in his heart.
It seems that Xiao Yunniang's economic environment is good, otherwise, she wouldn't be so generous!
"Auntie, look," Grandma Zheng San showed the eldest lady the jewel-encrusted collar, "I'm afraid it's worth three hundred gold." ”
The eldest lady smiled bitterly: "It seems that the dealer's business is doing well. ”
Grandma Zheng San covered her mouth and smiled: "It's not bad, I heard that the merchants in Shandong faintly take the dealer as the head of the horse....... You didn't hear Zhou Wang's say, now the dealer, but our Yun Niang nodded. At the beginning, you were worried that Yun Niang was young and couldn't open the situation, but now you can rest assured, right? ”
