When Wen Yi roughly talked about the experience of the first eight years of his previous life, it was already the beginning of the lantern. Although it was approximate, she said everything she could remember, after all, after many years, she was still young at that time, and many things were not mentioned in front of her at all, so she could only infer from the conversations and actions of the people around her in her memory. Rao is like this, and he can also hear that Mrs. Lu's face is full of frost, and her face is blue.

Wen Yi saw that her grandmother was so angry that she hesitated for a moment, so she couldn't help but not tell her about leaving home and leaving Guzhuang to resist marriage, but said: "The granddaughter only remembers that the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt said a bad family affair for the granddaughter, and when the granddaughter was angry about this family affair, she vaguely heard Mama Zhao's call, and responded casually, and woke up from the dream. At that time, my granddaughter was suffering from a fever, so I can't remember some details clearly. ”

Old Madam Lu stared at her granddaughter with her eyes: "According to what you just said, your fourth uncle and his family just treat you coldly, they are not mean in terms of food and clothing, and they have a good reputation in the clan, so how can they arrange unsatisfactory family affairs for you?!" Do you remember which one?! ”

Wen Yi hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The granddaughter doesn't recognize it, it's the matchmaker of the third aunt of the long house, and she says that she is the son of the Liu family......"

Old Madam Lu frowned: "People from the Hengan Liu clan? That's fine, it's the son of the side branch? Why do you say it's unsatisfactory?! ”

Wen Yi didn't answer for a long time, and Mrs. Lu's eyes widened: "Don't you say it soon?!" What the hell is going on?! Although your third aunt is not very good, she will not harm her niece for no reason! If it's not a good person, why should she protect the media?! ”

Wen Yi was excited, and hurriedly said: "Grandmother is angry!" Actually...... The granddaughter couldn't say clearly. Although the third aunt said that he was a disciple of the side branch of the Liu family, someone told me that that person was actually the eldest son of the third uncle, and because he occupied the title of the eldest son, he was not tolerated by the third aunt, so he said to outsiders that he was born in the side branch......

When Mrs. Lu heard this, her face changed: "Is it a concubine?!" It's too much of a deception! ”

Wen Yi whispered: "Although he is a concubine, I heard that he joined the army, made great contributions in the frontier, and won the official title...... Others told me that the third aunt was afraid that he would gain power and would suppress the cousin of the Liu family in the future, so she wanted to choose a wife for him in her mother's family so that he could tie his hands and feet......"

Old Madam Lu's face softened slightly: "Since she is a promising person, it is okay if she has a poor background, as long as she has a good temperament and knows how to be motivated, she may not be able to be unkind." After a pause, he sneered slightly, "I'm afraid that because of the identity of the other party, your fourth uncle and fourth aunt will marry you, right?" ”

Wen Yi's face flushed, and her voice was lowered: "But...... The man was broken and disabled...... And...... He had already had a wife, but then he was gone, so he ......"

Old Madam Lu's face turned black again: "Not only is it a concubine, but is it still a house?!" The Long Housing Committee is really too deceitful! Too much deception!! She kept patting the bedboard, and in a moment of excitement, she coughed.

Wen Yi hurriedly stroked her grandmother's back, poured hot tea for her, and it took a long time to recover. Seeing her grandmother's angry appearance, Wen Yi said with red eyes: "This is all something that my granddaughter dreamed of, and it hasn't happened yet, as long as you take precautions." Grandmother, don't be angry. As long as you're good, they can't bully their granddaughter. ”

Mrs. Lu nodded slowly, held her granddaughter's hand, and didn't speak for a long time, but her eyes gradually became resolute, as if she had made a decision.

Wen Yi was shocked when she saw it, and suddenly thought that what if her grandmother decided to set a family affair for her early? !

She has a deep fear of marrying someone as a wife, and remembers that the master in her previous life once told her that after a woman marries, whether her life is good or bad, such as people drinking water, cold and warm and cold, there are many unsatisfactory places, and they dare not show it in front of outsiders, but they are just supporting their dignity. Thinking of the previous life, when I went in and out of the backyard of a rich and noble house with my master, I saw those women who should have a gentle and graceful temperament and a perfect talent, in order to compete for some attention from their husbands, they did everything they could, and even did not hesitate to frame others and hurt their lives—she once saw with her own eyes a virtuous lady who was praised by everyone and asked her master about whether there was a reliable way to curse others for miscarriage without leaving a trace, and because her master acted like he "didn't understand", he was quickly swept out of the house coldly, and refused to receive him again— She couldn't imagine that kind of life she would live. Even if her grandmother was in charge, she was still uneasy.

She knew her grandmother's temper, her temperament was upright, and she was stubborn and conservative. The candidate for a good grandson-in-law identified by the grandmother must be from a scholarly family, with a righteous face, good health, knowledge of books and etiquette, self-motivated, honest to others, and filial piety, will respect his wife, love his children, and there has been no violation of etiquette in the family, etc. But is a person who gives people this impression really a good husband? She walked outside in her previous life, and she heard of how many decent men with good reputations and decent families, and the family was also full of wives and concubines. Isn't it the same that wives and concubines are constantly fighting?

Glancing at her grandmother again, she forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and reluctantly smiled: "Grandmother, in fact, the granddaughter thinks that the reason why the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt, as well as the third aunt, will tell their granddaughter such a family affair is because the granddaughter is lonely, the family has no permanent property, and there is no one to call the shots." It was precisely because their granddaughter could only rely on them to survive at that time that they dared to marry their granddaughter to such a person. As long as our family is doing well and my grandmother is healthy, even if they want to control their granddaughter's family affairs, grandmother will make decisions for her granddaughter, right? ”

Old Madam Lu looked at her granddaughter, her expression gradually relaxed, the corners of her mouth curved into a small arc, and she nodded: "You have a point." It seems that my grandmother really needs to take care of her body. Even if you don't fight for yourself, you have to fight for our Wen Yi! ”

Wen Yi showed a happy smile on her face, and stepped up to persuade her: "What my daughter told you a few days ago that on a good day, if you walk around the yard more, grandmother should also do it, okay?" There is also the tonic soup made by Mama Zhao usually, and grandmother must drink it without a drop! If there is any gossip about the people outside, my grandmother Hugh will pay attention to it, just talk and laugh with her granddaughter, and go to a few kind aunts' houses to chat when she is idle, and just relax when she encounters trouble. Others are unreasonable, let's just hand it over to the clan for public discussion, so as not to quarrel with others, but we will be ruined by the popularity of those unreasonable people! ”

Old Madam Lu smiled and stared at her granddaughter: "You wanted to tell me these words, didn't you?" It's not that my grandmother wants to quarrel with others, it's just that if my grandmother doesn't quarrel, some people will not take our family seriously. ”

"If you don't put it in your eyes, you don't put it in your eyes." Wen Yi smiled and hugged her grandmother's arm, "Our family just needs to live our own little life, as long as our family business is prosperous, those people only have a stammer, how can they underestimate us?" ”

Old Madam Lu's face was pale, and she said lightly: "Your words are certainly reasonable, but the matter of buying land and property has to be considered again." You are only unreliable, how do you know that your uncle must be reliable?! I don't stop you from interacting with his family, but you can't rely on his family for everything, for fear that his family will eventually rely on the affection and kindness of relatives to force you to do something bad. ”

Wen Yi laughed in a low voice: "Grandmother, don't worry, what you are most worried about is that your uncle wants to marry me to my eldest cousin, right?" But the eldest cousin has already had a marriage candidate, that is, the niece of the uncle, the granddaughter I met a few days ago, she is a smart and beautiful girl, and the eldest cousin is a natural pair. The two of them have already had a tacit understanding, but they have not officially decided on it, because they were worried that the eldest cousin was not in good health, and the girl was not in time, so the marriage date was postponed. The eldest cousin treats his granddaughter very well, and asks his granddaughter to treat him as if he is his own brother, and he can tell him any grievances. The granddaughter originally only planned to give her uncle a birthday, and did not mention the matter of buying property, but in three or two sentences, she was set out by her eldest cousin. He was even more angry than his uncle, and he thought of several ways for his granddaughter, all of which could benefit our family without letting the clansmen take advantage. ”

Old Madam Lu's expression was a little reluctant: "That's okay." With this foreign aid, you won't be helpless in case of trouble, but you're too far away after all. Besides, how easy is it to buy property? Now the price of land outside is not cheap, when you were gossiping at your aunt's house before, your grandmother once heard her mention that she wanted to add some dowry to her daughter, and she bought a good field in the south of Pingyang City, and one mu would cost nine taels and five cents of silver! If it is closer to the city and there is a water source, there are more than ten or one acres! What kind of family is our family? Saving money all year round is just accumulating twenty or thirty taels of silver. This year, the output of the land is more, and after a few days the rent is paid, it should be able to make up 180 taels, but if you want to buy land with this bit of silver, isn't it a joke?! ”

Wen Yi hurriedly said: "The jewelry that my grandmother bought for her granddaughter before can be worth two or three hundred taels, right?" The land that the granddaughter had taken a fancy to before was not a ripe field, but a hillside land outside Pingyin County, which was cultivated to plant wheat or fruit trees, which was good, not to mention that the hillside land was much cheaper than the field, with three hundred taels, it should be able to buy a hundred acres, which was more than her mother's field. The granddaughter has asked her uncle and eldest cousin to inquire about the value of the land and what it is suitable for planting, and there will be news in a few days. ”

Old Madam Lu frowned when she heard this: "Hillside? Do you still need to cultivate before you can cultivate? Nine girls, it's not grandmother who said you, this is too reckless, how do you know that there must be a yield in that land?! If it's a wasteland, how can it be good?! ”

Wen Yi whispered: "In my granddaughter's dream, I heard that someone bought the land near there and reclaimed thousands of acres of fertile land...... Although the granddaughter didn't know where the land was bought, it was still nearby, and the uncle should have inquired. As long as the land is good, it doesn't matter if it takes some effort to cultivate, it's hard to get cheap, isn't it? ”

Old Madam Lu glared at her granddaughter for a while before she said, "Although I saw it in a dream, you can't rely on this dream for everything!" If you only know that you rely on what you see in your dreams to benefit yourself and live up to the Buddha's compassion, the Buddha will not tolerate you no matter how forgiving he is! ”

Wen Yi hurriedly stood up and listened to the training: "My granddaughter knows, and she will never live up to the expectations of the Buddha." If you can add some income to the family, in addition to the daily expenses of your grandmother and granddaughter, the rest of the money will be used to do good deeds and accumulate merit. ”

Old Madam Lu slowed down her expression and nodded: "It's enough for you to have this heart." On weekdays, grandmother does a lot of charity and good deeds, so you can learn from your grandmother to do it, but you don't need to spend too much money, so you don't have to gossip in the clan! At the end of the day, people come to inquire about our family's background! After that, he sneered slightly, "They are just worried that your old grandmother will one day change her mind, take a child as an heir, and ask the clan for the ancestral property!" What is already in their pockets, how can they take it out again?! ”

Wen Yi's heart tightened: "Grandmother? ”

"It's fine." Old Madam Lu's expression quickly returned to normal, and she smiled, "In that case, then wait for your uncle to get the exact news first, and then talk about anything else." But the jewelry that your grandmother bought for you, don't touch it for the time being, it's all good things, and you can't come back if you go. If you are really in a hurry to use the money, there are still some big guys in the warehouse, all of which are things that your grandfather got when he was there, and they are heavy, and they have accumulated a thick layer of dust, and people who don't know where they come from. I remember that there is a set of copper incense burners of the previous dynasty, the whole five, the workmanship is not bad, I heard that it is the collection of the sages, called the descendants to sell; There are also a few bottles, which are also a few years old; There is a set of tea sets, which are said to be made of pure gold, which is unbearable, and I don't know which outbreak of the official filial piety ceremony; There are also ornaments and other ornaments, which were given by others when your grandfather was in office. Your grandfather didn't accept it, but the things didn't get into his eyes, and they were all put into the warehouse. I am also impatient to look at them, and since the family is in need of money, let me sell them, and they will always be worth six or seven hundred taels of silver. Isn't there an antique shop in your ninth uncle's estate? Asking his family to send someone to collect it also saves trouble. ”

Wen Yi knew that those things were worth so much money, remembered the experience of his previous life, blinked, and whispered: "Grandmother, in my dream, when his shop received our family's things, it was only estimated at sixty taels, and even the tea set was said to be copper-gilt......

Old Madam Lu's face changed, and she sneered slightly: "Call someone from his family to collect it!" I wonder what he's going to get now! After a pause, he slowed down his expression and said to his granddaughter: "Good boy, don't worry, grandmother will never let you suffer those grievances in your dreams!" If you remember anything, just tell her. It's just that you're not young anymore, and there are some things you should learn, and now it's your grandmother who protects you, and in the future, your grandmother won't be useful, so you have to rely on yourself! ”

Wen Yi nodded, couldn't help it for a while, and hugged her grandmother's thin but warm body: "Good grandmother, my granddaughter is not sensible, you can teach me more in the future." The granddaughter also wants to learn more skills and be filial to her grandmother. ”

Mrs. Lu held back her tears, gently stroked her granddaughter's head, and after a long while, she smiled outside the door and said, "What is the old woman hiding there listening to?!" Can't you just come in and speak openly?! ”

Mama Zhao walked in with tears and said with a smile: "When the old slave sees the appearance of the old lady and the little lady, he can't move this foot." God bless the old lady to get better as soon as possible, live a long life, watch the little lady grow up, marry a good family in the future, have children, and the old lady will hold her great-grandson! ”

Wen Yi blushed and hid in her grandmother's arms, and after a long while, she raised her head and said, "Mama Zhao, you are becoming more and more disrespectful to the old!" Mama Zhao just smiled happily.

Wen Yi couldn't do anything with her, gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, and finally simply pushed her out of the door: "Good grandma, grandmother is hungry, you can send hot porridge over quickly!" Then he sent the man away.

Back in front of her grandmother's bed, Wen Yi tucked the quilt for her, and suddenly remembered something: "Grandmother, in a dream, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang finally went to the long house, causing the granddaughter to go to the fourth uncle's house alone. The granddaughter is looking at it coldly these days, and thinks that Uncle Zhang is quite honest, but Aunt Zhang is a little inappropriate, and she is a broken mouth, and she has seen the matter of saving Aunt 15 a few days ago, she has seen it from beginning to end...... Does it matter? ”
