Chapter 467: Adding Branches (Part II)
Eleven Niang knew that there was something strange about this. It can be seen that Luo Si's grandmother looks. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to ask anything, so I simply didn't ask, and said some common things to her: "Is the fifth aunt okay?"
Luo Zhensheng is not taken seriously at home and has some words. It's better to wait for Luo Zhenxing to come to Yanjing and tell Eleven Niang in person.
Grandma Luo Si didn't want to talk more to Eleven Niang, so she changed the topic with a smile: "Auntie is very good. Every day, I take my sixth brother at home and do needlework. Occasionally, I went out to the temple with the sixth aunt to worship the Bodhisattva. Speaking of which, she said "oops" and I was only happy to see my brother. I forgot about it, "I gave Brother Jin to Gu's mother, who was serving on the side, and took out a small rose-red begonia flower purse and handed it to Eleven Niang." The peace charm that the fifth aunt asked for in Ci'an Temple.
Let me bring it to you. Bless you and your child with good luck. He laughed again. Although this peace charm is a little late. Anyway, it's always delivered. It's also a piece of heart. ”
Eleven Niang smiled and thanked and took it.
The braids of begonias are stacked one on top of the other, clear and lifelike by chrome.
She solemnly placed her purse under the pillow. Ask about the situation at home.
"My father got acquainted with a Taoist priest in the spring. Somehow . I believed in Huang Lao's technique and moved to Zhuangzi in the summer. is still there to open a furnace and practice Dan, and he doesn't care about anything at home. The eldest brother persuaded him several times but didn't persuade him, so he had to follow his father. The third aunt was afraid that her father would have no one to take care of her in the Zhuangzi, so she followed.
The sixth aunt stayed. Helping the fifth aunt to take care of the seventh brother. invited the female red master to supervise the twelve sisters' needles at home. The matter of presiding over the feed fell on the sister-in-law. ”
Twelve Niang, who had been sitting next to her and didn't say anything, blushed slightly when she heard this, and lowered her head shyly to take a sip of tea.
Eleven Niang saw that she looked like a little daughter was shy. I couldn't help but smile.
"Your fourth brother is not a material for studying, so the eldest brother asked him to follow Manager Wu to take care of the housework." Grandma Luo Si smiled. You also know your fourth brother's nature, and he is loyal. Honestly, the things assigned by the eldest brother dare not be sloppy in the slightest, and nothing has gone wrong in the past two years. I can also take care of Yingniang at home with peace of mind. "Talking. His eyes had fallen softly on Yingniang, who was sitting on a small pestle and eating shortbread.
Yingniang looks like someone from the Luo family. With snow-white skin and big apricot eyes, there are several similarities with the twelve mothers sitting side by side.
Eleven Niang asked her with a smile: "Are shortbreads edible?" ”
Yingniang nodded: "It's delicious!" "The voice is hearty. But like Grandma Luo.
Eleven Niang laughed.
Grandma Luo Si was a little embarrassed. "I'm used to being wild at home. Let her be quieter, and her voice can't be changed. ”
Eleven Niang liked it very much: "It's better for girls to be cheerful." "The daughters of the Luo family are very aggrieved.
"My aunt and grandmother are from my own family. Naturally, I said. Grandma Luo Si sniffed. She's going to get married later. Which mother-in-law likes such a cheerful temperament. ”
"She's young. Teach it slowly. You can't be a fat man in one bite. ”
As the two spoke, a little maid came in and said, "Madam. The eldest lady is here! ”
Twelve Niang's eyes lit up when she listened.
The days of living in Yanjing painted her plain and gray life with a bright color, and changed her life and destiny since then...... Those people and things. She will never forget.
She couldn't help but stand up.
Then I saw the curtain lifted. Sister Zhen walked in with a smile.
"As soon as I heard that the fourth aunt and the twelfth aunt were here. So he rushed over.
After saluting Luo Si Grandma and Twelve Niang, she immediately took Twelve Niang's hand, "When did you and the fourth aunt come?" How about along the way? Are your grandfather and uncles, uncles, and uncles all right? "I saw Yingniang again and smiled." Is this a big cousin? It's so beautiful! ”
A series of words were said in a row, and people didn't know where to start. But it also reveals her enthusiasm.
Twelve Niang's smile became bright and sincere: "I arrived yesterday."
I came over early this morning to see Sister Eleven. Everything at home is very good. Then he recruited Yingniang: "Come and see your eldest cousin." ”
Yingniang tilted her head and looked up at Sister Zhen'er, and said in shock: "You are so tall! Everyone was amused by her appearance and laughed.
Sister Zhen'er's face was slightly red. Untied a piece of mutton fat jade from his waist and handed it to Yingniang: "This is a meeting gift for you." , Yingniang didn't dare to press. looked at Grandma Luo Si, and waited for Grandma Luo Si to bow slightly. Only then did he take the jade pendant with a smile and thank Sister Zhen'er.
The jade plate beside Mrs. Tai came over: "Fourth lady. Mrs. Tai knew that her grandmother was coming, so she asked her grandmother to come and talk to her grandmother and her cousin.
Eleven Niang was inconvenient, so she smiled and instructed Sister Zhen'er: "You accompany the fourth aunt and Yingniang to go on a trip!" "Said to Grandma Luo Si again." Let's stop by for lunch! , Grandma Luo Si responded with a smile and went to Mrs. Tai.
Give the children a greeting gift, reminisce about the old days, gossip until noon, Xu Sizhen and Xu Si admonished to go to school. Mrs. Tai summoned the two brothers over: "Come and see your fourth aunt, twelfth aunt and eldest cousin" and said to Yingniang, "This is your fourth cousin and fifth cousin."
Xu Sizhen still remembers Luo Si's grandmother and Twelve Niang, but it was the first time he saw Yingniang: Xu Sijie was completely impressed. In contrast, Yingniang, who is younger than himself, has become the focus of his attention. The eyes of the two brothers fell on Yingniang in unison.
I saw her combing her hair. Wearing a small jacket embroidered with peony flowers on a big red background, a red gold Ruyi collar was hung on his neck. He wears a bracelet with a red gold longevity lock on his hand, and his round face is as white and delicate as the braid of a hosta flower. The big apricot eyes are as bright and refreshing as water. It's very cute.
Yingniang is not afraid of life. Seeing that Xu Lingzhen and Xu Si were looking at her, they smiled and shouted loudly, "Fourth cousin,
Fifth cousin". The crisp and loud voice made the two brothers slightly embarrassed. I was glad again. They all smiled a little shyly.
Mrs. Tai stayed with Luo Si Grandma and others to eat. And smiled: "I know it too. Eleven Niang must have left you to eat. I asked someone to go and talk to her. You will leave me here at noon, and you will go to her at night.
Elder Given. Don't dare to resign. What's more, Mrs. Tai is promoting the people of the Luo family.
Grandma Luo Si smiled and said "yes" and had lunch in Mrs. Tai's house.
Yingniang took the spoon herself, and not a single grain of rice fell on the table, and the temple dishes were also eaten. Meat is also eaten.
It is in stark contrast to Sister Xin'er's squeamishness.
Xu Si looked at her with interest.
After the meal, Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie stayed in Mrs. Taixing to take a nap, and Grandma Luo went to Eleven Niang.
Yingniang's upper eyelids and lower eyelids fought, and she fell on the nurse's body and fell asleep.
Eleven Niang asked Gu's mother to take Yingniang to the warm pavilion to rest. Arrange for Grandma Luo Si to rest in the West Wing, "It's not summer, and I'm not a child." Grandma Luo Si smiled, "It's rare for us to meet. I'll talk to you!.
This time, Grandma Luo Si and others came to Beijing, mainly for the marriage of Twelve Niang. Luo Zhenxing entrusts her to help take care of one and two. Grandma Luo Si must have something to discuss with her.
Eleven Niang smiled and nodded.
Sister Zhen pulled Twelve Niang to go to her house: "I embroidered a new screen of peony flowers. I want Aunt Twelve to take a look! ,,I want to talk together!
Eleven Niang smiled and nodded: "Remember to come over for dinner!" , Sister Zhen Twelve Niang responded with a smile and walked out of the house with her hands.
Eleven Niang put the little maid on the refreshment. and sent out those who were in the house to serve.
Grandma Luo Si told her about the marriage of the Twelfth Mother: .... The eldest brother gave a silver ticket of 5,000 taels of silver, and let us put the rice into the pot and handle the marriage of the twelfth sister. Although the Twelfth Aunt's family is poor, we have never experienced it in the end. Not a lot of money. What should I do with my money? Where is it used? What should I buy? What can be saved? I want to ask for the words of Aunt Eleven. When the time comes, your fourth brother will help you buy it! lest it be indecent. Lost the face of the twelfth sister. ”
So generous!
Eleven Niang sighed a little.
I think that at the beginning, the eldest wife would marry them...... Keji can't be compared! However, 5,000 taels of silver..."If you marry someone else's family, it is also a large amount of rich dowry, but it can be compared with the concubines between the Wang family and uncles, it is really not much...", but it is not less.
Eleven Niang pondered: "I don't have much experience in this matter. It's hard to say for a while, it's better to be like this, I'll inquire carefully, and I'll give you a letter in the next two days. We'll talk about what to do then. What about the fourth sister-in-law? ”
Grandma Luo Si said: "Then I'll wait for the letter from Grandma Eleven." As he spoke, he hesitated a little and said, "There is one more thing ......" as if he didn't know how to speak.
Eleven Niang thought about it for a while, and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, what do you want me to do?" , Luo Si's grandmother smiled and said: "There is really a difficult thing...... and then told the cause and effect, according to the meaning of the eldest brother, the dowry of the twelfth mother should be compared with the fifth aunt and the tenth aunt because of the younger sister, it is more generous. It's the same for those of us who are brothers and sisters-in-law to add more boxes. But the sixth aunt disagreed. If you are compared to marrying a girl, your dowry will be richer. Although the twelfth sister doesn't dare to compare with you, she can't compare with the fifth aunt and grandmother. She said. The face is slightly red. The voice was also a few lower, "In front of Dad...... Daddy second.
He called his eldest brother early in the morning and set a dowry of five thousand taels of silver".
Eleven Niang is embarrassed.
"Big brother is not easy to refute." Grandma Luo said." The sixth aunt said again. The twelfth sister is married far away, and the land and acres in the Jiangnan territory are not used. If you still have to send someone to take care of it, is it still possible for the twelfth aunt to send someone to Jiangnan every year to collect the ancestors? This one goes and one comes. Even in a good year, none of them were completed.
If you have a disaster year. I'm afraid that I will have to pay for it. I have to let the eldest brother come out with 5,000 taels of silver tickets! But my father turned to the sixth aunt again...", so I took the five dry two silver tickets. As a result, the sixth aunt said again. My uncle's family is poor. What's the use of having so many tables, chairs and benches. Take a thousand taels of silver and go out to buy things. The rest is for the twelfth sister to make a pressure box money. ”
Pressing the box money. It's not on the gift list.
If you follow the idea of the sixth aunt. In the eyes of others, the Luo family also took 1,000 taels of silver to marry their daughter.
"Big brother definitely disagrees?" Eleven Niang faintly understood.
Grandma Luo Si nodded: "Don't just disagree. was so angry that he told the sixth aunt. ”
But the sixth aunt still followed into Beijing. Other words. Luo Zhenxing still failed to screw the sixth aunt in the end.
