Chapter 19: No Hatred Becomes Mother and Daughter
Cheng's feast, Xiao took Shi Niang to the house early in the morning, they were the first to arrive, Xiao Shi understood very well that what people wanted to see was Shi Niang, there were too many people, how to talk, so he sent Shi Niang over early.
The sixth lady took the letter and waited anxiously at the second door, but this time she was in a wheelchair, Xiao was really startled, think about it, last time she also sat on the slide bar, so she didn't get out of the sedan chair when she entered the door, not to put on a score, but to be bad at it. Seeing that the sixth lady looked at her, she hurriedly withdrew her eyes, bowed hurriedly, and didn't dare to look at her.
"Alas, you're finally here, go see my mother, I'm about to be killed by her." The sixth lady waved her hand to Xiao and hurriedly went to pull the real mother.
"When did Grandma Six really kill you?" Shi Niang despised her, but straightened the wheelchair, took the handle herself, and turned to Mama Mi, "Mama will take my sister-in-law to go around, and I will kowtow to my sixth grandfather." ”
"Yes!" Mama Mi didn't think she was an outsider and took Xiao away.
The sixth lady turned around to look at Xiao, she still kept her head down, and turned to Shi Niang, "Is she pitying me?" ”
"Pity anyone, I dare not pity you! I guess I was scared. Shi Niang snorted and pushed her to follow Yahuan to the main hall of the main house of Cheng Taishi and his wife.
Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng already knew that she was coming, and they were waiting there with a smile.
"I haven't seen you for a year, but I'm really getting more and more refined." Cheng Taishi nodded.
"The granddaughter wishes the sixth grandfather a birthday, and wishes the sixth grandfather a blessing like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and a longevity that is better than the old pine of Nanshan." Shi Niang hurriedly let go of the sixth lady, and kowtowed to Cheng Taishi three times in a regular manner.
"Good!" Cheng Taishi smiled even more, hurriedly helped her up, and took out a painting scroll, "Gold and silver vulgar things for your grandmother to give you, this is written by the previous child, they all think it is good, I also think that in the past few years, I ...... this character."
"Go to the side, your broken words, who is rare. My son, why did you come? Didn't you go back to Beijing early? Let grandma see, it's really getting more and more beautiful, grandma saved a lot of beautiful jewelry for you, all for you, not for you Liuniang. Mrs. Cheng opened her husband and smiled brightly, and the old mother on the side hurriedly brought a jewelry box over. As soon as I opened it, it was really dazzling.
"What do you know, my words are placed in the study, and you can see it at a glance...... "Mrs. Cheng quit, obviously he picked out the best one, and specially left it for Shi Niang." I finally let the real mother read it.
"She's got a lot of them." The old lady was not afraid of him, so she picked up the old man, "Why are you so plain, I know that your aunt does not allow you to swagger, but the girl's house still needs to be brighter." ”
The old lady said as she prepared to change the jewelry on the real lady's body. In fact, the jewelry of the real lady is carefully selected by the six ladies, where is it plain, but because the real lady is still a girl, it is not too good, and the six ladies, except for the five ladies, are almost from a little bit, and the others are soaked in good things, and even a single thread on the body is a head.
"Don't, today is my grandfather's birthday, how can I dominate the guests." Shi Niang has always had a trick to deal with the old lady, and asked her mother to quickly take it back and pull the old lady to sit down.
"This time, my grandparents really haven't been to see my mother for a long time." Shi Niang thought about it just now, but the old man said that they hadn't seen each other for a year. The old man and the old lady have always felt sorry for the six ladies, and it is very rare not to go to see them for a year.
"Alas, I'm too old to move." The old man's face froze, but he still gently took Shi Niang's hand, "I asked your mother to let you out last year, but it still dragged on for a year, and there are not many good men in Beijing." ”
"These days, my sister-in-law takes the children out to socialize, but I don't see that there are many girls in each family, but there are a lot of men." Shi Niang thought about it, she went out for a circle, and there were already a lot of people who came to the door to propose marriage. It's like a swarm of bees, but the old man said that there are not many good men? What did she think of this, it was quite meaningful.
"Who can they know? Can you still choose a son-in-law among those people? Mrs. Cheng snorted and pulled her to sit down, "Grandma helped you see a few families, all of which are the most rigorous and pure families......
"Don't listen to her, she can see jewelry and clothes, but it's sparse." The sixth lady said coldly on the side.
"I must have killed your whole family in my last life, so that you could put it in my stomach to take revenge...... Mrs. Cheng was furious.
"It's possible, no hatred can not be a father and son, no resentment can not be a mother and daughter. My mother should have given birth to me, so she threw me into the ravine, and maybe she would be able to live in peace for half her life. The sixth lady was busy and seriously replied.
Cheng Taishi hurriedly pulled Shi Niang again, away from the pair of fire-breathing mother and daughter, and showed her his axis calligraphy, and sure enough, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, full of momentum. After hearing Shi Niang's admiration, the old lady said proudly, "What they wrote when they quarreled, if there is divine help, it is not me." ”
"......" Shi Niang felt that when the old couple went to see their daughter before, they really gave face to their eldest mother, and this time, it really revealed her own life. I forgot about the old man's words just now.
Nearly in the afternoon, the guests arrived one after another, and when they were ready to start the banquet, there was a report from outside the door that the eldest princess of Yiyang came to Chengfu to pay respects.
All the guests were shocked, after the eldest princess of Yiyang was widowed nineteen years ago, she rarely appeared in front of people, and the last time was the queen mother's fiftieth birthday. But at the birthday banquet, she only showed a small face to prove that she had come.
Over the years, legend has it that she has been in Princess Yiyang's mansion, concentrating on cultivation and closing her doors. He has no contact with anyone in the DPRK and China. Being able to come to Cheng Taishi's Mansion to celebrate his birthday this time shows how important the Cheng family's status is in the eyes of the royal family.
Cheng Taishi didn't dare to slack off, and was busy taking his wife and daughter out to greet him, of course, Shi Niang pushed the six ladies to follow along. Of course, while people were not paying attention, Shi Niang gently poked the sixth lady.
Why didn't anyone tell me that her aunt would come over to pay her respects, so she also returned to Beijing. The other ladies don't know what kind of posture they will take in front of them.
"Don't poke, I don't know." The sixth lady whispered. My father's 60th birthday, she really doesn't want to see the eldest princess on this occasion.
Shi Niang sighed helplessly, the sixth grandfather was really sorry. But he didn't dare to stop, and followed Cheng Taishi and his wife to the door. The distinguished guests in the back were also busy keeping up.
The eldest princess got out of the sedan chair, and there were no wrinkles on her face with only a faint smile, and she looked only about thirty. Dressed in a dark pattern of Shu brocade robe, noble and ...... Old-fashioned.
Shi Niang wanted to sigh, really, Mrs. Cheng would not wear it like this. I'm afraid that people won't know that she is a widow for 20 years?
The problem is that the second and third marriages in this dynasty are just ordinary, how many aristocratic wives and divorced remarriages, and the more they marry, the better. Like the eldest princess, it is good to be an outlier in this era.
She didn't dare to say, though. My own mother, what else is there to complain about? But I felt sorry for her, she was only thirty-five years old, and she became a widow at the age of sixteen, and as a result, she spent her most beautiful years on festivals. So when she picked herself up when she was nineteen years old, she felt that it was a gift from God.
