Chapter 267: Stubbornness

"He sent all of those things over?" Liu Gu's hands tightly grasped the armrests of the circle chair, and the green tendons on the back of his hands exploded.

Wen Yi didn't expect her to have such a big reaction, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Old Madam Lu, Old Madam Yu and a few big girls all turned their heads to look over, and the outside room was quiet for a while, Duan Shi opened the door curtain and came in to see, with a look of doubt in his eyes. Wen Yi thought about it secretly, and felt that she still shouldn't embarrass Liu Gu's family too much in front of outsiders, otherwise others would talk about it and gossip about herself, so she just smiled slightly, and asked pretending to be puzzled: "Third aunt, what's wrong with you?" Why are you so excited? Watch out, your aunt and uncle are watching you. ”

When Liu Gu heard this, he turned his head to look at his mother, and saw that her eyes were full of disapproval, and there was a hint of fierceness, so he couldn't help but shiver, calmed down a little, and coughed lightly in disguise, but he still couldn't hold back, and asked, "He sent it...... What are they? ”

Wen Yi smiled: "There are twelve pieces in total, there are porcelain, calligraphy and paintings." How...... Doesn't the third aunt know? ”

Liu Gu's face darkened: "Where do I know?" He didn't ask me at all" He gasped a few times, glanced at Wen Yi, and said unwillingly: "Originally, I said that I would talk about this matter when Brother Ning became a relative."

Wen Yi remembered the excuse she used last time, and she was amused, but her face was not revealed: "Is it to decorate the new house on the second brother's big day?" But ......"

"What?" Liu Gu secretly gritted his teeth, "Is it possible to borrow it and put it on a swing, and you don't want to?" But don't forget, it was all handed down by the old lady, and it was already in our family, if it wasn't for our master's mercy, how could it be given to you? Young people don't know what to do, and they don't have to spoil the good things."

This was a little unkind, and even Old Madam Yu couldn't help but reprimand her: "How can you speak?" But then he turned to Wen Yi: "What kind of porcelain calligraphy and painting?" How did you ask your second uncle and aunt for these things? Although Brother Xing'er has now been rewarded by the Holy Lord, you must also know that humility is. ”

Old Madam Lu glanced at her: "Where did their husband and wife ask Aunt Liu for it?" It was originally left by the old lady of the Liu family to Dongxing's father, and it was naturally owned by Dongxing, but it was because Dongxing was still young in the past that Aunt Liu was asked to help keep it. Now that the eastbound family has started a family, Aunt Liu naturally wants to send it back. The eldest sister-in-law should speak fairly. ”

Old Madam Yu smiled awkwardly, glared at her daughter secretly angrily, blaming her for speaking indistinctly and making herself lose face.

Wen Yi smiled and said to Liu Gu's family: "Third aunt, it's not that I don't want to lend those things, it's just that you just said that you want to use them to decorate the new house when the second brother is newly married, but those few pieces of porcelain, either blue and white or celadon, calligraphy and painting are also some wild grass, small seals or landscapes, cattle and horses, although the things are good, but they are too plain, will it be too taboo to use them in the new house?" The things in the new house don't have to be antiques, as long as they are festive and auspicious. ”

Liu Gu was speechless, she didn't really want to use those antiques, calligraphy and paintings to decorate her son's new house, she just felt that her son had always liked these things, and it would be great if she could leave them to him, but now they have all come to naught.

She was bored there and didn't speak, and the old lady Yu also understood the inside story, bowed her head wordlessly to eat tea, and laughed a few words of gossip with the big girls such as Ruyi around her, and gently brought the matter over, and Duan quietly withdrew. Old Madam Lu showed a hint of ridicule on the side, and when she looked at Wen Yi, she changed to kindness.

Wen Yi didn't fall into the well, but just asked her grandmother with a smile: "I just saw my grandmother and my uncle and grandmother laughing, and I seem to be very happy, I don't know what they are talking about?" ”

Old Madam Lu smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just some common words." Your uncle and grandmother are so blessed, they gave birth to two sons, they are good materials for being officials, they married two daughters-in-law, and they can do a good job, the grandchildren and granddaughters are all well-behaved, and your eldest brother is also going to marry, after a year or two, your uncle and grandmother will hold their grandson again, isn't it a great blessing? ”

When Mrs. Yu heard this, she stopped talking to Ruyi, turned around and smiled: "I am blessed, and you are not bad." Now that the nine girls are out of the cabinet, the grandson-in-law she married is so promising, and she is already a top five product at a young age. Although Brother Xian'er is in high school and has entered Hanlin, he still has to stay in the position of seven-rank editor for a few years, and I don't know how long it will take to be promoted to the fifth-grade. Thinking about it this way, you are still more blessed. ”

When Wen Yi heard this, she was slightly surprised in her heart, she didn't expect that Old Madam Yu, who had always been content with her own descendants, would say such a thing.

Mrs. Lu was very calm: "You can't say that, in terms of blessing, it's still my sister-in-law's blessing." Although the eastbound journey is already a positive five products, who doesn't know that the court officials have always been heavy on literature and light on martial arts? Although the grade of the seven-grade compilation is low, the Hanlin Academy is orthodox in the imperial examination. Nowadays, according to the rules of the imperial court, you can't be a minister unless you are from a pavilion, and if you enter the Hanlin Academy, you are the prime minister. Brother Xian'er has a good future, and he may be able to earn a higher life for his sister-in-law in the future."

Mrs. Lu rarely said a few auspicious words, and Mrs. Yu was also a little flattered, plus these words hit her heart, the smile on her face deepened, and she reached out to hold Mrs. Lu, patted the back of her hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "We have two old concubines, starting from grandchildren and daughters-in-law, for decades, and now our grandchildren are about to start a family, and they can finally enjoy a few years of happiness." Seeing the children come out one by one, we are also happy. ”

Old Madam Lu slowed down her expression and nodded with a slight smile.

I don't know when the Jiang family, who walked in, was stunned when he heard the words, his eyes were red, he hurriedly lowered his head to cover it, raised his face and smiled: "Mother-in-law, sixth aunt, I came from outside to report that someone from the Liu family is here, and the two of you will see ...... Is it better for Mrs. Gu to go out and see him? ”

Old Madam Yu hurriedly asked, "Who is here?" ”

"It's Mrs. Liu."

Old Madam Yu breathed a sigh of relief and glared at her daughter: "Why don't you go out soon?" Your concubine has always been quite compatible with you, and with her to help you carry it, you can save yourself from embarrassment in front of the guests."

However, Liu Gu's face was still a little distorted at this time. Mrs. Lu's sentence "Earn a higher order for her sister-in-law" poked her weakness, you know, Mrs. Yu is Wenxian's grandmother, even if Wenxian gets the official, only his wife and mother will be ordained, Mrs. Lu said this, it is clear that Liu Dongxing was awarded the honor of his grandmother, and the heart is naturally the boss's discomfort, seeing that his mother urged him, he said angrily: "If I don't go, since she dares to take over this matter, let her go and show her eyes If I go out, after the big ceremony, don't I want to go back with her?" Then Liu Fu may still think that I have succumbed, no, he will not come to pick me up in person, and he will not want me to go back."

Old Madam Yu was so angry that her fingers were trembling. Jiang Shi hurriedly came over to support her, and stared at Liu Gu with reprimanding eyes: "Mrs. Gu, mother-in-law is all for your good, why are you so ignorant?" This family affair was originally advocated by you, but now, the girl is going to pass the door, and your mother-in-law is still living in your in-laws' house, and if it spreads, the Gu Liu family will be embarrassed. Do you prefer to ignore the reputation of the two families for the sake of one breath? There are a lot of visitors from outside today."

Liu Gu sneered: "How could I have ignored the reputation of the Liu Gu family? It is clear that Liu Fu himself refuses to admit his mistake, if he had come to pick up one day earlier, how could there be anything today? Sister-in-law, I advise you to be nosy, if I give in this time, there will be no place for the Liu family in the future, will the Gu family have a face at that time? Could it be that you think that the fifth girl is married in the past, and she is in-law with the Liu family again, so you don't need me, right? It's not as fast as you guys."

Old Madam Yu's body shook again, and her face turned pale. Jiang's expression was faint, and he seemed to be completely unmoved, but looked at Liu Gu with a rather meaningful gaze, and sneered: "Since Mrs. Gu has already made up her mind, I don't want to say anything, after all, you are already the housewife of the Liu family, and our Gu family can't control you." It's just that I advised my aunt and wife, don't do things too much, leave some leeway, and be convenient with others and yourself. ”

Liu Gu smiled contemptuously and turned his head away from speaking.

Old Madam Lu said to the old lady and the Jiang family: "Since someone from the Liu family has already come, she is still Ning Ge'er's aunt, and her identity is enough." Go and welcome your relatives in, don't be rude. ”

Old Madam Yu nodded weakly and waved her hand at the Jiang family: "Go ahead, it's the first time for your brother and daughter-in-law to do such a thing, and they may not be busy." Jiang Shi answered, saluted Mrs. Lu, and left in a hurry. Old Madam Yu sat back in her place, closed her eyes and did not speak. Ruyi and Shuangxi carefully fanned her, for fear that she would have a good time. Mrs. Lu sat down and drank tea.

Wen Yi had the heart to go out to watch the excitement, but it was better to stay in the house and sulk, and secretly glanced at her grandmother. Old Madam Lu smiled slightly and made a look. Wen Yi's heart was relieved, so she got up and said with a smile: "I haven't seen the fourth aunt for many days, I need to go out and say hello to her." When he turned around and saw that Liu Gu was still the same disregardless appearance, he suddenly became angry and sneered and said: "Second aunt, you should have been the fifth sister today, but you were angry and refused to go out, and others talked about it, but it was the second brother who was embarrassed." You can bear it, let your own flesh and blood suffer such grievances" said so, and threw off his sleeves and went out. Liu Gu couldn't help but be stunned, and his face was difficult to look at.

Liu Gu still didn't come out of the warm pavilion in the end, but Mrs. Liu Si completed the whole process of insertion according to the ceremony, and when she met all the guests, she was a little flustered at first, but later, she was completely calm, and her every move showed everyone's demeanor. Mrs. Wan learned from the Duan family that this was the aunt of the groom's official, and asked a few words about the identity of Master Liu Si with a smile. Mrs. Liu Si heard Duan's introduction of Mrs. Wan's identity, and immediately talked with her enthusiastically, and during the whole banquet, she talked non-stop as if she were good friends, and when it was time to disperse, she had already agreed to visit Wanjia another day.

Wen Yi and the sisters were in one place, and after the banquet, Mrs. Lu sent a girl to pass the word, saying that she wanted to borrow the old lady's room to rest and go back when it was completely clear outside. Wen Yi was still a little worried, and wanted to go over to wait for her grandmother, but the water star who came to pass the word whispered to her with a smile: "Auntie and grandmother don't have to worry, when I came to this mansion today, whether it was the old ladies and wives in this mansion, or the girls and mothers-in-law waiting below, they were much more polite to our old lady." In the past, when the slaves and maids passed the long room, they had to ask the little girl in the old lady's house to do some small things, and they had to ask for a ten or eight times, and they had to stuff the benefits to make them move. The old lady and the big lady were also very polite. I heard people say that it is all the dignity of my uncle. The old lady will not suffer any grievances in that house. ”

Wen Yi was amused, but she was also relieved, and was about to ask Shui Xian a few words, but she heard someone behind her calling her: "Ninth sister." Looking back, it was Duan Kerou.

Duan Kerou still looked cowardly, with a cautious face, gritted her teeth and asked softly: "Ninth sister, I want to say a few words to you, can you ......?"

Wen Yi hesitated for a moment, but still responded: "Where did you say it?" ”

Duan Kerou was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "It's in the wing room of this courtyard, I have already asked the girl to prepare tea."

Wen Yi motioned for the otter to retreat, and gave Qiuguo and Hexiang a look, and the two girls followed her behind Duan Kerou, arrived at the side room, and then stayed outside the door to guard.

There was no one else in the room, and on the table of the Eight Immortals, hot tea was indeed prepared. Duan Kerou diligently poured tea for Wen Yi personally, and Wen Yi hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't be busy with this first, what does my sister have to say to me?" ”

Duan Kerou slowly put down the teapot, rubbed and rubbed the handkerchief in her hand, and said in a low voice: "Last time...... My sister was overjoyed, my sister was going to congratulate her, but I didn't think that my sister had just come to Beijing, and I was a little unaccustomed to the water and soil, so I had to stay in bed to recuperate. ”

Wen Yi didn't take this matter to heart: "What is this?" My sister's body is important. I've never blamed you. ”

Duan Kerou smiled happily: "I heard that on my sister's wedding day, there are many big people who come to drink the wedding wine, I don't know what the origin is?" My sister said that I knew with my sister, so I asked my sister to open her eyes too, right? ”

Wen Yi smiled: "I don't dare to take this seriously, they are all my father-in-law's bosses and colleagues in the army, and there are also a few former classmates and friends." We were pleasantly surprised to be able to invite them. She looked at Duan Kerou a few times, guessing the other party's intention of inviting her, and suddenly remembered that when Liu Dongxing first arrived in Guzhuang, the second aunt Duan seemed to be interested in marrying her niece to him, but Duan Kerou was not happy and was in love with Liu Dongning, I don't know what Duan Kerou thinks today?

Duan Kerou bit her lip secretly, and said softly: "Speaking of which, my sister was young, ignorant, and made many mistakes in the past, and among the sisters, only the ninth sister is willing to teach her sister and let her sister know the truth of dealing with people. My sister is really grateful, and often says to people, if only the ninth sister were my own sister, I have brothers and sisters to rely on, and I will not be helpless......"

Wen Yi frowned, thinking that Duan Kerou said this, the second aunt Duan and the fifth cousin Wen Xian knew about it, maybe they would be angry, so they didn't speak.

Duan Kerou quietly glanced at her a few times, and was a little worried when she saw this, so she simply turned her heart and knelt down with a plop: "Good sister, please save me"

Wen Yi was suddenly taken aback by her.
