Chapter 19: He is married
Mrs. Wu went out early the next morning, went to Mrs. Chaohua's house, and did not return with red eyes until dark.
The Sun family moved very quickly, and came to the door to propose marriage within three days, and now no one knows that Sun Liancheng is a hero to save the United States, and the proposal is just a formality. The elders of the Sun family are the grandmothers of the Sun family, Li Huanting's mother-in-law, and the dark face of the Wu family eased a little.
The dowry was piled up in a full hall, and Shen Ke seemed to have accepted his fate, although he didn't have a smile on his face, he began to embroider the dowry at home.
Eighteen Niang looked at a pile of posts, lacking interest. Since Shen Qin became famous at the Peach Blossom Party, this invited post has been like a snowflake, and it has come one after another.
Although she doesn't treat Shen Ke as a sister, she doesn't want to go out at this time, which makes people ask long and short questions, which only adds to the joke.
Because of Shen Ze's warning, she didn't bother with the Wu clan for a while, and the most important thing now was to let her brothers and sisters stand up on their own.
Shen Qin was embroidering green bamboo on the side, Shen Ting didn't know when she was going to the border pass, she took this opportunity to add more clothes to him.
She secretly glanced at Eighteen Niang, only to see her playing with a pen wash, looking out the window, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Since she questioned Eighteen Niang in the carriage that day, Eighteen Niang has not treated her as close as before.
It's still talking and laughing, but it always seems like there's something separated.
"What are you looking at?"
Eighteen Niang put the pen wash on the table, but did not answer. The magpies outside the window were crying in the branches, and they were so happy that they were tight.
"My sister won the first place at the Peach Blossom Party, and now she is a family girl, and she is begging for a hundred families. You don't have to worry, it's the same as Ke Niang. ”
Shen Qin was poked by Eighteen Niang, and lowered her head with a red face.
Eighteen Niang sighed in her heart, Shen Ke couldn't get married, and I didn't know if Shen Ze would think about marrying Shen Qin into the royal family.
Seeing that Eighteen Niang was stunned, Shen Qin stood up and poked Eighteen Niang's forehead with her finger: "You are so young, where did you come from so many thoughts." Although my sister is useless, I am a sister in the end, and I will be tough and protect you in the future. ”
Eighteen Niang didn't expect Shen Qin to say this, her eyes widened in surprise, and she covered her forehead with her hand.
For Shen Qin, she has always mourned her misfortune and was angry with her, but fortunately, she figured it out.
"Eighteen Niang, who do you see coming?" Xiping walked into the room quickly, with a smile on his face.
Eighteen Niang turned her head to look, but it was Dongzhu Nanzhi and North Flow, they arrived.
Because of the fatigue of the journey, several people looked dusty, but their spirits were very good, and everyone saw the courtesy.
Nanzhi opened his mouth and said: "How can the adults let the little lady live in such a simple place, like a snow cave, fortunately, I brought all the utensils that the eighteenth mother used to manage." and Xiping, how did he comb his hair like this. ”
She is the personal maid of the eighteenth mother, and she is like a housekeeper on weekdays, and she is used to worrying. has grown so big, it is the first time that she has been separated from Eighteen Niang for so long, and she has been nagging endlessly.
Eighteen Niang was smiling and didn't care at all, with them here, this Xunmei Courtyard was also a little angry.
Shen Qin saw that the room was noisy, so he got up to say goodbye and went back to Tinglan Courtyard.
As soon as she left, Beiliu looked at Eighteen Niang and said softly: "Eighteen Niang, Wang Liulang and Sixteen have been married, and it has only been a few days." ”
Eighteen Niang chuckled in her heart, although it was something she had expected a long time ago, she still couldn't help but feel sour in her heart.
yes, it's only been a few days! The man who calls you Qingqing is going to marry someone else.
She nodded, indicating that she already knew, and her expression lightened a little, "You don't have to report anything about him to me in the future." Dongzhu and Fanyang's industries have been dealt with? ”
Dongzhu took out an account book, gently put it on the table, and replied: "According to what Eighteen Niang said, it was resold and deposited in Datong's silver number." But do you want to buy more property in Chang'an? In addition, the lady's dowry was also brought, and the dowry list was in the account book. ”
Eighteen Niang touched the account book, did not open it, and said: "Well, buy some Zhuangzi shops near Chang'an, my brothers and sisters will soon start a family, although there are regulations in the public, but where is enough to spend." Settle my mother's dowry, and return it to the eldest brother in the future. ”
Dongzhu was a little painful, but he still nodded obediently. Then she took out another account book and said softly: "Eighteen Niang, we dug up the jade mine in the mountain of the border pass, which is the best Hetian jade. ”
Eighteen Niang was taken aback and asked, "What's the matter?" I still have an industry at the border! ”
Dongzhu was also shocked, I said Xiaoniang, you are rich and rival the country, what do you care about Wang Liulang, how much money do you have, you don't know it?
"Little lady forgot? The lady had a dowry Zhuangzi there, and when the slave father went to see the Zhuangzi, he bought a property for the little lady. ”
Eighteen Niang just remembered that before the Lu family married Fan Yang, she had been following the Lu family army and living at the border. Most of the houses in her dowry are in Fanyang, but a few are in the border pass.
Then the peace buckle she stuffed into Yuan Am's sleeve, does Hetian Yu mean that the murderer is her old friend?
Eighteen Niang stood up suddenly and asked, "What is the origin of the Wu family?" All I know is that she's a foot-washing maid, but she's my mother's dowry? ”
The four girls looked at each other, when the Wu family left Fanyang, they were just young children, how could they know these things, before Eighteen Niang was indifferent to the people in Chang'an, so they didn't inquire.
Beiliu opened his mouth and said: "Why don't you let Xiping go home, her father and mother have been living in Fanyang before coming to Chang'an to take care of the industry for Xiaoniang, and they are close to Mrs. ”
Yes, the Xiping family is the Lu family's companion, and the others are the slaves of the Shen family.
When Xiping heard this, he quickly returned home. After a while, she picked up her mother.
"Ah, the Wu clan is my mother's dowry? Is she a slave of the Lu family? Eighteen Niang asked Xiping and her mother to sit down, and served flower tea again, before asking.
Xiping's mother-in-law, with a round face, had two pear nests when she smiled, she didn't twist, nodded, and scolded: "That cheap maid in Wugui, how can she be worthy of the name of the Lu family." When the lady got married, there were three or two girls who didn't want to leave the border city, and the lady was kind-hearted and let them out. Wu Gui entered the mansion at that time, she had a good color and was literate and hyphenated, so Mrs. asked her to serve her. Unexpectedly, she took advantage of her wife's pregnancy to San Lang and climbed into the bed of the main house. Foot-washing, and dare to call themselves Mrs. ”
She looked angry, obviously very unworthy of the Lu family.
Eighteen Niang let Nanzhi put some fruit on it, and slowly spoke: "Ah, say it slowly, I haven't heard about my mother and the Wu family back then." She is holding back her strength now, and she wants to bully our brother and sister! I'm going to let my brothers and sisters hear about it. ”
As he spoke, he summoned Shen Ting and Shen Qin over.
