Chapter 408: Brother and Sister-in-law
This is really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave
Wen Yi and Wen Hui were stunned for a moment before they reacted. Wen Hui's face turned pale directly, but she immediately turned her head and looked at the flower branches outside the window, but she didn't make a sound.
Wen Yi asked, "Where are you now?" Didn't they send men to wait at the gates of the city a long time ago? Why didn't you see any news coming back in the first place? ”
Runxin hurriedly said: "I just entered the city gate, and at this time I have already come home, and the people below are afraid that the family will not know, so I specially sent a small maid to take the first step and come back to report to the big * grandmother to know." ”
Before Wen Yi could speak, Wen Hui suddenly turned around and sneered, "So it's coming soon?" That's just right, I haven't seen them for a long time, isn't it rare for the big guys to get together? ”
I'm afraid it's going to be too lively
Wen Yi scolded her, ignored her, and said to Runxin: "You hurry up and go out and tell Shu Ping, let him welcome the second grandfather and second grandmother to the house over there, save yourself from coming here, and then go again, it's too troublesome." I'll clean up a bit, and I'm going to get over too. ”
Runxin hurriedly replied and withdrew. Wen Hui glanced at Wen Yi: "What are you doing here?" Afraid I'll get you in trouble? Don't worry, as long as Wen Xian doesn't provoke me, I won't provoke her, but ...... If she provokes me, don't expect me to swallow my anger."
Wen Yi snorted angrily: "This is the place I bought for my mother's family, what is the Liu family doing?" The house over there has been cleaned up inside and out, and they can live in it as soon as they arrive, wouldn't it be troublesome? Sixth sister, don't make a mess, if you really let the two of you live in the same place, what good fruit can I eat in the middle? ”
She turned around and wanted to leave, but stopped when she reached the door, hesitated for a moment, and then turned around to persuade Wenhui: "The eldest aunt is sad in the Buddha hall, although she can't deal with the law, but she really loves you, why do you want to make her sad?" Go and make amends, admit it, and calmly tell her what you think in your heart, she loves you so much, how can she marry you off indiscriminately? It's just like you, you were frightened by the letter from the capital, so you messed up the rules. ”
Wen Hui's eyes were slightly red, and she pursed her lips: "I know she is panicking, but in fact, I am also panicking...... However, her ears are too soft, obviously on the way back from the capital, I told her that I had done it, and after I came back, I heard a few words of gossip from other aunts, and she changed her hexagram again. Not only do you want me to get married, but you also want to find me a good one, with a family background, fame, and talents...... Even if you like a good candidate, when you are in a hurry, you will lose patience and would rather find someone else...... What good home can she find for me? In the future, I will suffer a loss, and she will be just as sad. I'm just angry with her, she listens to everything others say, but she ...... what I say" She bit her lip, with a faint grievance in her eyes.
Wen Yi sighed secretly in her heart and said, "What kind of character is the eldest aunt, don't you know?" Since you think she has soft ears and is easy to listen to people's words, then find a way to make her listen to you. Are you still her own flesh and blood, do other people's words weigh more than you? It must be that you are impetuous, and when you are in a hurry, you will not speak well, she only makes you temperamental when you are a child, if you are willing to explain the truth to her, how can she not listen? Speaking of this, she couldn't help but blame Wen Hui: "Actually, you didn't have the right idea about this matter, and it's no wonder that the eldest aunt refused to answer you." What do you want, you have to think clearly first, if you really make up your mind not to marry for the rest of your life, then make a serious appearance of a cultivator, the eldest aunt wants to say goodbye to you, and you also explicitly refuse; If you can't give up the glory and wealth of the world, can't stand the hard life of the monks, and still want to marry a satisfactory family to be a young man, then you will restrain your current stubbornness, that is, the eldest aunt loves you, so she will indulge you everywhere, and change someone else, how can you be so comfortable? In the future, if you suffer a loss, won't it make your aunt uncomfortable? ”
Wen Huibian flattened her mouth: "I know what you're talking about, don't you think I'm indecisive?" I also admit that if I had entered the Seiryo-an when I first came back, there would have been no such things. But do you know what kind of life the people in Qinglian Nunnery live? The owner of the nunnery is obviously also the daughter of our Gu family, but in order to ask for more money and food, she can laugh and please the younger daughters-in-law and nephews and daughters-in-law in the clan. If I want to live a life like this, I'd rather die."
Wen Yi snorted: "The nunnery is mainly in charge of the affairs of the nunnery, so naturally you can't do whatever you want, but don't think that she is too useless, if the female relatives of the clan are too much, she will not endure it." If you don't want to live a life of relying on people's snorts, it is not difficult, if there is a dowry Zhuangzi in the dowry of the eldest aunt, a place will be allocated for you, exclusively for your daily use, even if you leave home, life is a little harder, you can still make a living. But I don't think you will do this, the reason why you are indecisive is nothing more than one reason, you are reluctant to be your mother and brother, and you are reluctant to be prosperous in the world, but you are even more reluctant to live in your own free life, but how can there be such a cheap thing in the world? Which one do you prefer, you have to have a choice, if you just blindly pretend to be stupid, get by, I will recognize you for nothing" After that, he raised his feet and went out of the room, went back to the room to change his clothes, and led a few girls to the new house by car.
Wen Hui was left alone in the house, thoughtful.
When Wen Yi arrived at the new house, she got out of the car and entered the front hall, and told her family to boil water to make tea, and someone from the front gatehouse came to report that the second grandfather and second grandmother had arrived. She hurriedly led someone out, and sure enough, she saw Shu Ping welcoming Liu Dongning and Wen Xian into the front yard. She stepped forward first and said hello with a smile, and then said: "It's been hard along the way, your brother has been busy training in the office these days, and he can't leave, so he asked me to stay in the city to help you cook." Wait for a few ** brothers to rest and then let him talk to you. ”
Liu Dongning said respectfully: "Thank you, sister-in-law." My brother is now an official of the imperial court, and he is not more idle than before, so he naturally puts official duties first. My husband and wife came here to study, and we want to live in Cannes for a long time, and we have time to see my brother, but we are not in a hurry. Xie Wenyi arranged a good place for them to live: "I just took a cursory look, it is elegant and clean, it is really a good place to study, and my sister-in-law has bothered to do it." ”
Wen Yi smiled and replied with a few kind words, and ordered someone to serve hot tea: "I don't know how many people you have brought, I am afraid that there will not be enough places to live, so I specially bought this house." The original owner's surname is Han, and he is also from Kangcheng Academy, and he is a classmate of Xianggong in the old days and is quite familiar with each other. Xianggong has already greeted him, and let him take you to the academy another day to visit and meet a few people. Xiang Gong said that classes will start soon this year, and I am afraid that it will be too late to officially enroll, so I will first meet a few erudite Confucians, ask for advice for a few months, and it is good to sort out my homework. Besides, when the weather gets warmer, learn some riding and archery swordsmanship, don't seek specialization, as long as you know. Cannes College has always been both civil and military, and requires students to practice the six arts of gentlemen, if there is any one who is not good at it, go directly to the academy to take classes, I am afraid that they will not be able to keep up. ”
Liu Dongning was overjoyed: "Brother is thoughtful, I also inquired before I came, and I was worried, but nothing else, I have learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I have also practiced horsemanship, but I don't know anything about swordsmanship, and I have only learned some superficial things in mathematics and Zhou Yi." If you can find one or two good gentlemen to practice before entering the academy, you will not be afraid of losing face when you enter the academy in the future. ”
Wen Yi smiled: "In this case, uncle can rest assured to settle down, and when Xianggong comes back, let him find a good husband for you." In addition, in addition to the academy, there are also several good halls in the city, and the gentlemen are all very knowledgeable, and they do not invite outsiders to seek advice. If there is something that my uncle doesn't understand in his homework, he can just take it and ask it, so he doesn't need to be too tight. ”
Liu Dongning responded, with a shallow expression of joy on his face. Although he knew that he didn't really go south to Cannes to study, if he could learn here for a long time, it would be of great benefit to him in the future. He solemnly gave Wen Yi another big gift: "In the future, I will ask my brother and sister-in-law to take care of me." ”
Wen Yi replied: "Uncle is polite." After getting up, he turned his head to look at Wen Xian. Wen Xian's face was a little uncomfortable, and she hesitated to salute, and said in a low voice, "Please...... Sister-in-law takes care of ......"
Wen Yi smiled slightly: "My brother and sister are tired from the journey, right?" I've already asked someone to boil water, so why don't you go back to the house and freshen up and rest, and then talk while you eat?" ”
Liu Dongning was already tired, and hurriedly said: "Then I will lose my company first, sister-in-law, don't laugh at my rudeness." Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly paused, glanced at his wife, and hesitated for a moment: "You can talk to your sister-in-law for a while." "Can't both husband and wife leave, leaving one of the sisters-in-law here to do the housework for them, right?
Wen Xian answered in a low voice, and he turned to leave, but before he left, Wen Xian immediately straightened up and glanced at Wen Yi faintly.
Wen Yi couldn't get her thoughts in her heart, so she acted according to the etiquette: "Brother and sister, sit down, can the journey be smooth?" When I received your letter, I thought you would be there in a few days, but I did not expect to see you today. ”
Wen Xian sat down on the chair opposite her, a little careless: "When I arrived in Pingdong, I had some bad feelings, so I delayed for a day or two. After a pause, he began to lose his breath: "I heard that the sixth sister also lives with you?" Why don't you see her here today? ”
Wen Yi blinked: "She doesn't live here, here is where Xianggong and I specially bought it for you husband and wife to live in." If your brother and sister miss her, will you see me another day? When I came, I heard her say I miss you. ”
Wen Xian's face changed, and she coughed very uncomfortably: "I'm afraid it's not very convenient...... There is a young man in the family, and the sixth sister always has to avoid suspicion. When I heard that she lived with you, I was surprised, I didn't expect her to suffer such a big loss, and she still doesn't repent to this day, and then I heard that she has found a house to move out, and she is sensible, but she is still living with you......"
Wen Yi raised her eyebrows: "Why can't she live with me?" My aunt lives with her, can't I let my mother's family live in the house I bought? ”
Wen Xian hurriedly said: "How come? Younger sister...... Sister-in-law misunderstood, I didn't mean that......" She hesitated, "It's not that I'm too careful, sister-in-law, our Liu family is in an eventful season, and the family is already a mess, and at this time, there must be no more mistakes."
"Brother and sister mentioned this, I was just about to ask you." Wen Yi stared into her eyes, "What happened to my hometown?" Why did you and Brother Ning suddenly go south? ”
Wen Xian's face turned white.
