Chapter 462: Promise (1)
The days are flowing like a stream, and as early winter approaches. The eyes of the people in the capital were all focused on the alley in the southern city, but no one dared to blatantly go to that alley to show their eyes. After a night, many red ribbons hung on the trunks of the trees in Jiang Wanmu's yard, looking at them from a distance, like a tree bearing flowers. On the top of the tall tree, those fluttering red ribbons attract the eyes of passers-by the most.
The neighbors on the left and right of Nancheng took this opportunity to say that they wanted to be happy, and went under the tree in the courtyard gate, they looked carefully for a while, and some shrewd people would secretly count the red ribbons on the trees, and there were red ribbons floating up and down each tree, and they couldn't count the number accurately, so they could only ask Mrs. Liu for the news.
Mrs. Liu has been laughing too much these days, her face is sore, and when she hears people mention it, she still can't help but laugh again. She smiled and said, "I don't know, I'm just the one who guards the gate of the courtyard, how do I know these things about the master's house." But I tell you, it's at night that the red ribbons on the trees are all over the place. I heard that the auspicious time is calculated according to the old people, and according to the old rules, the brother of the remarried person acts sincerely, and the woman who marries out will have a happy life for the family. When Lady Liu said that, there was a smug look that could not be hidden at the corner of her mouth, and she smiled again as if she was keeping a secret.
The neighbors couldn't ask more from the mouth of Mrs. Liu, and they looked at Mugen with surprised eyes, such a high treetop, can be hung with red ribbons, this man must treat his sister like a treasure. They looked at Ji Yan's eyes, and there was a look of pity for them, so high on the top of the tree. Her husband dared to act like this for his sister-in-law, and he must not have much cherishment for his own wife and children. Lady Liu looked into their eyes, her mouth opening and closing. can only speak: "Jiang Ye has always loved his own lady. When she said this, she said, 'There are no three hundred taels of silver here.'
Mugen felt adoration in the eyes of the men and indignation in the eyes of the women. He touched his head and said to Jiang Wanmu and Ji Yan, who were talking in the room, "Sister, Ji Yan, do you think that in the past two days, the neighbors have looked at us a little differently?" Jiang Wanmu looked at Mu Gen's expression, looked at Ji Yan who lowered her head and laughed so much that her body was shaking, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother, are men looking at your eyes shining." Women look at the fierce eyes? After Mu Gen heard Jiang Wanmu's words, he thought about it and nodded, "Sister, you're right, those men look at me and get goosebumps, and the women look at me and I think I have beaten her children." ”
"Poof" Jiang Wanmu and Ji Yan laughed loudly at this time. Jiang Wanmu nodded with a smile and said, "Brother, your feeling is not wrong, didn't you see Ji Yan's eyes that he didn't dare to look up at people when he went out for the past two days?" Mugen smiled at us and blushed, he listened to my words and looked at Ji Yan, and he said, "I thought she remembered Fang Zheng when she saw the red ribbons floating on the trees in the yard. Fangzheng will come back for the New Year's Day in a few days. He said that he would live in our yard first and wait until his yard was repaired. Move in again. ”
The courtyard outside the city of Mugen's house was already ready to move in, but their family unanimously decided that they would not choose a good day to move to a new house until Jiang Wanmu returned to the door. Jiang Wanmu waited in the courtyard outside the city until the ground in the house was dry according to Chen Qiong's request. They can also move in until the first snow falls. The courtyard of Chen Qiong's house is still an open space, but the grass on the ground has been removed. His family really didn't have the time and manpower to dig the foundation for his family. Seeing that winter was coming, Chen Qiong and his son asked someone to build a few wooden sheds in that place first, and this winter, they were going to celebrate the New Year's Festival again.
Jiang Wanmu sincerely asked their family to help her warm her new home, Chen Qiong smiled and declined her kindness, Huo Xiang smiled and shook her head and approached her and said, "Little lazy, don't worry about us, the wooden shed is well built, and it is not cold inside." We live there, and when we have free time, when we have manpower, the big guys can help and dig the foundation by the way. Jiang Wanmu looked at Huo Xiang, who was holding her stomach and helping to calculate, she smiled and nodded, and still added one more sentence: "Don't stand up, when it's cold, I welcome your family here at any time." ”
Jiang Wanmu listened to the news of the return of Fang Zheng's family, and frowned secretly with some surprise. The original news was that Fang Zheng and Bilu would work hard for another year, and their family would return to the capital after their yard was repaired. Ji Yan looked at Jiang Wanmu and just smiled and didn't speak, she smiled and said: "Miss, my brother and sister-in-law are fine, it's just that my father and that woman are too noisy, the two of them feel that they have stayed too long, and they are worried that my father will offend all the people, so the two discussed to deal with all the things in their hands, and settle my father's side first, and their family can come back early now."
My sister-in-law said in the letter that after the people in the big cloth shop in the capital learned the news, someone had already told my brother that after the New Year's Festival, he would want him to go to Zhongnan twice with the dart team. After my brother summed it up, he felt that he could act like that, he was young and could run, and others did not object to him continuing to help Miss bring goods from Zhongnan. Besides, Hua'er's brother is in the dart team, and everyone knows each other well and can take care of each other. Jiang Wanmu listened to Ji Yan's words, and secretly relaxed in her heart, this is the best way to deal with it, not only to fulfill her son's filial piety, but also not to feel that she has been losing the old man for a long time.
The three of them gradually deviated from each other as they spoke, and Mu Gen nodded on the side and said: "I heard Su Ye's eldest brother say that Ji Yan's father is too fierce, and when Fang Zheng and his wife are not at home, he almost crashes into your yard, and he wants to go to Ji Yanniang to settle her account for her children." It was still the people in the courtyard of Dr. Shang's house, and after hearing the movement here, they brought people out to stop him. After he made such a fuss, Fang Zheng had to die to him, their husband and wife were cold-hearted, and the two of them were planning to deal with the things in their hands to others. The money bought his father a yard there, bought a few plots of land, and promised to give him ten taels of silver a year for living expenses. ”
Jiang Wanmu nodded when she heard this and said, "Fang Zheng's father has forced him to hate, and his father shouldn't listen to that woman's words too much." Alas, he wouldn't think that with Fangzheng's ability and the filial piety that Fangzheng had always treated him, his good days were still ahead. That's fine, a liquidation. Did Founder ask the Chinese to testify on this matter? Fangzheng's father has a soft temperament, and now he is completely partial to that woman, he is not the good person he used to be. Mu Gen and Jiang Wanmu discussed her father in front of Ji Yan, but Ji Yan was indifferent, since her father treated her like that for that woman, she rarely took the initiative to mention her father to others.
After Jiang Wanmu said this casually, a cramped and uneasy look appeared on Mu Gen's face, the father and son were so troublesome as Fang Zheng that they wanted to ask someone to testify, no matter what time it was not a matter worth mentioning. Mugen glanced at Ji Yan, who lowered his head, and quickly nodded. Ji Yan lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "Hua'er secretly told me that his brother said that my brother invited four Chinese people. Originally, my brother only wanted to ask a Chinese person to witness, but who knew that the Chinese person said that my father was too good at tossing, so that my brother would invite a few more people to testify, so that when he encountered an accident in the future, he would not be able to speak alone. Originally, according to the meaning of this Chinese person, at least five people should be invited. ”
After Jiang Wanmu listened to Ji Yan's words, she looked at her with a surprised face, Daddy Fangzheng is so fierce and scary now? If he had this kind of ability, how could Fang Zheng's mother have been in charge of the house for so many years? She looked up and saw Mugen shaking her head lightly, she opened her mouth several times, she really didn't know that she could soothe the frustrated Ji Yan. What's more, the more you talk about such things, the more uneasy it is. Mu Gen's old words were brought up again, and he said with a smile: "Sister, Lord Chu's skills are so good, such a high tree top, he jumped up so lightly, and then two or three times, hung the red cloth evenly all around. Sister, you don't know that my heart is tense when I look at him under the tree. ”
Chu Xiao came to the courtyard quietly, except for the woman Liu who opened the courtyard door, only Mu Gen who was waiting in the courtyard knew. Jiang Wanmu heard Sister Xiu mention this matter in advance, and the time had not yet been set at that time. After Jiang Wanmu got the news, she deliberately rushed to the Chu Mansion to find Chu Yang's good intentions to reject Chu Xiao. She said to Chu Yang's family: "Sister-in-law, I understand the affection between you and your brother-in-law. This night hung a red ribbon, and when it was dark, I received your affection. ”
Chu Yang shook his head lightly and said, "Little lazy, you can fulfill your righteous brother's thoughts." When you got married, your brother-in-law had this thought, but when we asked you, you said that there were brothers in the family, and your brother-in-law didn't open his mouth when he thought about it. Later, after he learned the truth, he regretted it all the time, saying that if he couldn't hang a red ribbon on the Jiang family tree for you back then, that is, a red ribbon on the tree in the yard where we lived, you might not be separated, maybe with the blessing of your brother, you would have the opportunity to be together. You can go back with peace of mind, your brother treats you well, I heard Sister Xiu mention it, and he has always regretted it, he didn't know these things back then. Do what your two brothers want. ”
Jiang Wanmu has always been half-baked with the customs and habits of the Ning Dynasty, and if there was no hint from the Chu Yang clan, she would not have taken many things to heart. Mu Gen still smiled and said, "Sister, I have made so many promises with Lord Chu, your life will definitely be blushing." Jiang Wanmu only thought of the red ribbons floating on the trees in the yard, and her heart warmed a little, she smiled and nodded and said, "With the blessings of the two elder brothers, my life will definitely be able to go on." ”
Ji Yan gathered her mood at this time, looked up at the two brothers and sisters who looked at each other and smiled, Jiang Wanmu looked at her, remembering the eyes of those women looking at Ji Yan, she thought about it and said to Mu Gen with a smile: "Brother, let me tell you something." People outside think you are bold enough to climb to the top of a tree alone at night to hang a red bar. Hee-hee-hee. Ji Yan looked at Mugen with a funny look, and saw that Mugen blushed and said: "I'm not such a fierce person, if I do things like that, you will scold me when you see it the next day." ”
