Chapter 67: Returning to the Door
Aunt Du likes to mess around, it is not a good errand to find Yuan Niang's in-law's house, and Qi Tanying doesn't want to get involved at all.
"Mother, what do you think of your uncle and aunt?"
Old Mrs. Yan sighed, "What can they think, it's nothing more than that they want to marry Yuan Niang, as long as they can pave the way for Brother Yu, even if they are willing to be concubines." ”
"Yuan Niang, this child is pitiful, I can't bear to let her be married at will by her ruthless father, so I want to find an ordinary family for her, as long as she lives a stable and smooth life."
Hearing this, Qi Tanying felt that things didn't seem to be so tricky, as long as Du Yuanniang was not ambitious, it was just a matter of putting more thought into it.
"Mother, don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me." She said to Mrs. Yan, "It's just that if there is a suitable one, you have to take the palm of your hand." ”
How could Mrs. Yan disagree.
After saying this, Mrs. Yan mentioned the matter of returning to the door of the three dynasties again, and asked, "Are the gifts for returning to the door ready?" ”
Qi Tanying glanced at Ting Lan, and Ting Lan hurriedly handed the gift list to Mrs. Yan.
Old Madam Yan frowned after checking it: "This gift is too light." And then, without saying a word, he added a few things to it.
Qi Tanying looked at the gift list that had grown a lot, and her heart was a little more moved.
Early the next morning, Qi Tanying and Yan Li went to Qi's house with a cart of homecoming gifts.
The carriage traveled to the door of Qi's house, Qi Tanying lifted the curtain, and saw Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Jiang standing side by side at a glance, half a step behind them were Jiang Liangyu and Qingyang County Lord and his wife, Qi Yukun and Jiang Yi and Jiang Mei's two cousins stood at the back.
After the carriage stopped, Yan Li helped his wife get out of the carriage.
After Mrs. Qi saw her daughter, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, and Mrs. Jiang reminded her on the side, "It's a happy event for Ah Tan to return to the door, quickly wipe your eyes with a handkerchief." ”
Mrs. Qi cried and laughed: "Aren't I happy?" After speaking, he looked his daughter up and down.
Although her daughter has only been away from home for three days, Mrs. Qi feels like three years, she can't eat well or sleep well in these days, for fear that her daughter will be wronged in her mother-in-law's house.
However, seeing that her complexion is ruddy, and her son-in-law Yan Li treats her gently and considerately, she should be doing well.
At this time, a passing pedestrian looked this way, and Mrs. Jiang spoke: "If you have anything to say, let's go in and say it." ”
So the group entered the Qi house.
Yan Li came to the door for the first time as a son-in-law, Mrs. Qi arranged for Jiang Liangyu and Qi Yukun to entertain him, and the ladies went to the main courtyard.
As soon as she sat down, Mrs. Qi couldn't wait to ask, "Ah Tan, are you okay in the Yan family these days?" ”
Qi Tanying nodded, "It's good." "The Yan family has a simple population, the husband is gentle and considerate, and the mother-in-law is kind and amiable.
She said: "On the second day of marriage, my mother-in-law handed over the housekeeping to me, and said that I would make up my mind about all matters in the family. ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Jiang glanced at each other, and Mrs. Jiang asked, "Why is your mother-in-law so happy?" Isn't there something wrong with it? "For example, do you need a niece's dowry to make up the shortfall?
Qi Tanying saw that her aunt had misunderstood, and explained with a smile, "I have read all the account books, there is no problem." The family's fields and shops are also running very well, and my mother-in-law said that she was not in good spirits, and I happened to enter the door, so I left it to me to take care of it. ”
Mrs. Jiang didn't expect that Mrs. Yan would trust her niece so much, after all, she had just married into the Yan family, and she didn't even stand firm on her heels.
Back then, she had been married into the Jiang family for three years, and her mother-in-law still held the housekeeping power and didn't let go. In such a comparison, Mrs. Yan is really a good mother-in-law.
She said to Qi Tanying: "Since your mother-in-law values you so much, you don't want to disappoint her." ”
Qi Tanying naturally understood this truth.
The county lord of Qingyang said softly: "The first time I saw Sister Atan, I felt that she was blessed, after leaving the cabinet, she had a considerate husband and a mother-in-law, and the days after that would be smooth and smooth." ”
"Cheng County Lord Ji Yan."
Qi Tanying looked at the county lord of Qingyang, and when she saw her staring at her with a smile on her face, she always felt uncomfortable.
Since the Qingxuguan distress happened, she has tried to avoid contact with the county lord of Qingyang, and she has not forgotten that Princess Changxing intends to use herself to prevent disasters for her. Although the Lord had been put to death, those words of face inevitably made people panic.
The lord of Qingyang County saw that she intended to be estranged, so he did not talk to her again.
Mrs. Jiang talked about telling Jiang Mei and Jiang Yi about her in-laws. The age difference between the two girls is several months, Jiang Mei is sixteen years old, and Jiang Yi is also fifteen.
Mrs. Jiang looked at several households, but none of them were suitable, and then she understood why her sister was so picky at the beginning. Men are afraid of entering the wrong industry, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, she is afraid of choosing the wrong person and missing her daughter's lifelong happiness.
A few days ago, the sister-in-law of the Jiang family came to visit Mrs. Jiang with a pair of children, and she expressed that she wanted to marry Jiang Yu for her son Mingyue. Mrs. Jiang felt sorry for her grandson, so she was naturally happy to see it happen.
But she didn't want to, not to explain what Yue's appearance was, just because of her sister-in-law's bitter temperament, she didn't want to marry her daughter to her family.
"Ah Yun, you say, my mother-in-law values Jiang Yao in the second room so much on weekdays, why can't she let her two baby bumps get together, and she has to come to harm my daughter."
Mrs. Jiang really couldn't figure it out.
Jiang Yi also knew that her aunt was playing her own mind, and hurriedly said: "Mother, my aunt has always disliked me, I don't want to marry Cousin Yue." ”
Mrs. Jiang remembered that her daughter was present and glared at her, "I'm really not ashamed, how can a girl's family always talk about marrying." ”
"I..." Jiang Yi felt not ashamed at all, and was about to argue, Jiang Mei on the side gently tugged at her sleeve and signaled her not to say anything.
The county lord of Qingyang said: "If my mother can trust me, I will ask my mother to help me pay attention to it and see if there is a suitable one." ”
Mrs. Jiang shook her head when she heard this, "The county lord has a heart, your third sister is a tendon, and she is not suitable for marrying into a high-ranking family." ”
The county lord of Qingyang no longer mentioned this matter.
When it was lunch time, Mrs. Qi originally thought of separating the tables between men and women, but Mrs. Jiang said, "It's all my own family, so don't be so troublesome." ”
So everybody sat at one table.
Qi Tanying was next to Yan Li, and the county lord of Qingyang sat with Jiang Liangyu, and when eating, Jiang Liangyu was very considerate to the county lord of Qingyang, and kept serving her vegetables.
Yan Li is not far behind, whenever Qi Tanying takes a second look at any dish, there must be that dish in her bowl the next moment.
The actions of the two were watched by everyone, Jiang Yi's eyes went back and forth on the four of them, and then turned around and secretly bit Jiang Mei's ears.
Mrs. Jiang frowned when she saw this, "Ah Yan, just eat, what are you muttering?" ”
Jiang Yi smiled: "I didn't mutter anything." ”
She just felt that the eldest brother and the county lord's sister-in-law, Sister Ah Tan and her brother-in-law were too numb, and when she saw their greasy appearance, goosebumps were about to rise.
