Chapter 517: The Bride (Part II)
Childhood is the simplest and most joyful. There aren't many days like that.
Eleven Niang smiled and touched Xu Sijie's head: "You all went, who will help me take Brother Jin'er?" ”
The ten-month-old brother Jin is lively and active, and he crawled to the side of the kang without paying attention, holding something in his mouth twice, holding it in his arms three times and two times to get impatient, and kicking your calf on your stomach, people are about to shoot out, and whoever holds him has to play three points of spirit. It's just that she can't speak yet, and she says "oh oh oh" to everyone, Eleven Niang is very worried, but Mrs. Tai thinks she is making a fuss: "The fourth child only spoke when he was one and a half years old, and he was only ten months old!" ”
Eleven Niang is not sure whether the ten-month-old child should not speak, and when he is free, he will hold him to know the things at home.
Xu Sijie's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled: "Then I'll play with Brother Jin at home." ”
Xu Sichen was a little disappointed and said, "Then, then I'll bring something delicious for you to eat!" ”
"Okay!" Eleven Niang hurriedly smiled, "Come back and tell me what happened to you climbing the mountain?" I've never been to a mountain before! ”
It's in this plane. It refers to the scene where one person walks in front of you, and several people follow behind with stools, feather fans, or even toilets.
Xu Sizhen happily agreed.
Eleven Niang sent the two brothers out of the door.
Mother Song came over: "It's Aunt Yi's dress ceremony soon......"
"Let's do it as usual!" Eleven Niang nodded.
Song's mother left in response.
On that day, Taoist priests and nuns were invited to do a seven-day dojo, and Xu Siyu changed his clothes and came back to greet Xu Lingyi, Mrs. Tai and Eleven Niang.
Xu Lingyi asked about his homework, Mrs. Tai asked about his body, and when he arrived at Shi Niang, he saw Brother Jin'er's nurse Mother Gu and Brother Jin'er's mother Wan San's daughter-in-law standing in a ventilated place under the eaves talking, and he was a little surprised.
Wen Zhu hurriedly said in a low voice: "The fourth lady personally took the sixth young master, and I heard that the sixth young master will be weaned when she is one year old!" ”
Since you like children so much, why don't you let Brother Jin eat more milk!
Xu Siyu was secretly strange in his heart, "um", ignored the maid and mother-in-law who half-squatted down to salute him, and followed Qiuyu into the west room.
Eleven Niang and Brother Jin were both sitting on the big kang near the window in the west room. The kang table was moved, Eleven Niang sat on the side of the kang, Brother Jin sat in the center of the kang, holding a mallet for knocking wooden fish, and there were several bowls and saucers of different sizes beside him, as well as wooden fish, small drums and other things.
Seeing Xu Siyu coming in, he looked up and smiled at Xu Siyu, revealing two front teeth.
I don't know why, Xu Siyu's heart softened suddenly.
"The sixth brother has grown so big!" He looked at Brother Jin and was stunned before he said this.
Eleven Niang hugged Brother Jin in her arms and said with a smile: "You're back." Is it safe along the way? ”
Xu Siyu then remembered to salute Eleven Niang.
"Let my mother worry, I'm fine!"
It's just two short sentences, Brother Jin jumped and jumped in Shi Niang's arms, twisting his body to go to those dishes.
Eleven Niang didn't want to disturb the child's interest, so she smiled at Xu Siyu with some apologies: "He's a little naughty!" Then he put Brother Jin on the kang.
Brother Jin immediately crawled to the small drum, but found that the mallet in his hand was missing, looked around for a while, and then crawled over and grabbed the mallet in his hand, and then crawled to the small drum, and lost the mallet, he was worried, looked at Shi Niang, and then looked at Xu Siyu, "wow" and cried.
Xu Siyu thought he was very interesting, and handed the mallet to Brother Jin without much thought.
Brother Jin immediately stopped crying, and laughed with two lines of tears on his face.
Xu Siyu couldn't help but touch his head.
Brother Jin ignored him, lowered his head and went to beat the small drum, and the room sounded a "dong dong" sound that was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and it was monotonous and a little noisy.
Only then did Xu Siyu find that the red mallet in Brother Jin'er's hand was polished round and smooth, and the top was engraved with a lotus pattern.
He looked at Eleven Niang with some surprise.
Eleven Niang smiled apologetically at him: "It's a bit noisy! He explained, "If you don't let him knock, he will cry, and it will be even more noisy than this!" ”
"Maybe I didn't hear much and didn't feel noisy." Xu Siyu smiled and glanced at Brother Jin, who was having a good time.
The look is gentle, the tone is soothing, and the image of a gentle and elegant good boy.
Eleven Niang smiled and talked about Xu Siqin's marriage: "...... Our family is thin, you are back, and you just took the steward to Tongzhou to help Brother Qin welcome the dowry! ”
Xu Siyu smiled and responded "yes": "You told me when you went to Fallen Leaf Mountain two days ago. ”
In this way, Xu Siqin went to participate in Aunt Qin's removal ceremony!
Shi Niang said pointedly: "Since your brothers have discussed it, I won't say more." There is no size in three days of marriage. Relax and play for a few days. ”
Xu Siyu responded with a smile, and seeing that his mother didn't play with him as usual, Brother Jin threw away his mallet and climbed into Eleven Niang's arms and got up.
Eleven Niang knew that he was clamoring to hug herself, and was about to call Gu's mother, Xu Siyu stood up when she saw this: "Mother still has something to do here, then I will go to the second aunt's side to say hello to the second aunt first!" ”
"We'll go to Mrs. Tai's for dinner later." There was nothing to say about staying any longer, Eleven Niang smiled and told Xu Siyu to let Qiu Yu help send off the guests.
Xu Siyu got up and saluted, and the corner of his eye stopped on the red mallet that was casually thrown by Brother Jin on the corner of the kang, and then turned around and went out.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but take the mallet.
It's so attentive!
Even Xu Sizhen didn't find out.
This is what Mrs. Tai is used to, and that day she was caught in her hands by Brother Jin, and Mrs. Tai was afraid that he would cry, so she gave it to Brother Jin'er......
She smiled and asked to put everything away, and the fifth lady came.
"It's really just a worry about life and not worrying about raising." She smiled and took Brother Jin'er's hand symbolically walked around the house twice, then handed the child to Gu's mother, and sat on the big kang with Shi Niang, "I looked forward to it every day in those years, and I could go down to the ground." In a few days, I will be able to call my father and mother. ”
Eleven Niang sat with her with a smile and said, "I heard Mother Shi say that Brother Xu'er's head can stand up?" ”
Speaking of her son, the fifth lady smiled at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows: "I can only stand up occasionally, but after a long time, I won't be able to do it, and I don't dare to let her stand ......" and then said what she meant, "Brother Qin'er, what are you going to do?" ”
Eleven Niang smiled: "I listen to Master Hou." ”
The fifth lady turned her eyes slightly: "That's on the books." I mean, when the next day is recognized, what kind of meeting gift is the fourth sister-in-law going to give to the bride? ”
"It depends on what my mother means!"
They must not go past Mrs. Tai.
"Mother is an elder." The fifth lady said, "Naturally, you can't sit in the hall like us and wait for the bride to recognize her relatives." They are going to the mother's house to greet the mother. She said, winking at Eleven Niang, "We are different, not only when we meet the bride in the hall, but also when we give a meeting gift, there is also a group of relatives from the third sister-in-law's family." The fourth sister-in-law also knows, if there is less, I don't know how the people of the Gan family arrange us. I just came to discuss with my fourth sister-in-law! ”
The corners of Eleven Niang's mouth turned into a pleasant arc: "What do the five brothers and sisters mean?" ”
She whispered in Eleven Niang's ear.
Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing.
But the fifth lady repeatedly advised: "It's decided like this, don't make any mistakes with you when the time comes......"
Eleven Niang couldn't stop nodding.
On September 15, Eleven Niang and others dressed up and welcomed the dowry into the door.
It is all fine black lacquer furniture, the lacquer surface is smooth and shiny, the porcelain and tin dishes are all complete sets, the bed tent and bedding have an enduring old style, and there are also new patterns in the past two days, and the cage for clothes cannot even be inserted into it. It can be seen that Miss Fang's dowry is not only rich, but also very real.
The ladies all praised it.
The third lady blushed and greeted the visitor loudly.
Seeing that the Fang family and the two mothers who came to give the dowry were dressed plainly and festively, and spoke enthusiastically but calmly, she couldn't help nodding secretly.
Someone came over to salute Eleven Niang: "This is the fourth aunt of the eldest aunt, right?" I'm your niece's sister-in-law! ”
Eleven Niang couldn't help but follow the prestige, and there was a medium-sized young woman with a letter who was smiling at her.
"It turned out to be a well-blessed person who made the bed for our diligent brother." Eleven Niang greeted her with a smile, "When we met for the first time, the face was very raw, please forgive me for the rudeness!" ”
As soon as she opened her mouth, she called her "the fourth aunt of the eldest aunt", and she secretly praised the Fang family's sister-in-law in her heart.
The sister-in-law in the lobby hurriedly said: "You are an elder, I should have come to visit, but I was rude when you said this." He smiled and set his eyes on the fifth lady, "This is the fifth aunt!" As he spoke, he bowed to the two of them, "Our eldest lady will ask the two ladies to teach more in the future!" ”
When I entered the door, I first found Eleven Niang, and then found her......
The fifth lady glanced at Eleven Niang and said with a smile: "Where is it!" The Fang family is a famous family, and it has been scholarly for generations, unlike our family, which is from a reckless background, if there is anything inconsiderate, please ask the sister-in-law in the lobby to say a lot of good words in front of the Fang family. ”
"Don't dare to be a compliment from the fifth lady." The sister-in-law in the lobby smiled, "The reputation of our ancestors for several lifetimes, we dare not slack off as juniors......"
does not deny that the Fang family is a generation of scholars, and the Xu family is from a reckless background.
The fifth lady glanced at Eleven Niang again.
Seeing her standing aside with a smile, she forcibly endured and didn't answer.
Someone over there touched the brocade quilt of the big red Danfeng Chaoyang in the cage and smiled: "Twenty-four shops and twenty-four covers, I see, even the grandson's futon is ready." ”
The sister-in-law in the lobby smiled and said: "Our big family in Jiangnan marries a daughter, and every family is like this." The emphasis is on ten miles of red makeup - although the daughter has entered the door of other families, the food, clothing and chewing in this life are all from her mother's family, and when needed, she can also take it out to help her husband's relatives. In this way, you can stand up in your husband's house and stand up straight! ”
The courtyard was silent.
The fifth lady looked at Eleven Niang again.
This time, their eyes collided in the air, and they both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
The sister-in-law in the lobby had already laughed: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have started saving for my daughter's dowry at this time." ”
Some of the ladies laughed along.
The atmosphere that had fallen silent was lively again.
