Chapter 65: Mrs. Wang Matchmaker Comes to the Door
A few months later, Liu Yong welcomed Tang Yanghe and his wife, as well as An Lan and An Jiang, at the Liuliupu Pier.
An Lan and An Jiang have changed a lot, they have become lively and laughing, and they have grown a lot taller, and there is no trace of uprooting their families on their faces.
Liu Yong thanked Tang Yanghe and his f
Alice. Tang Yanghe learned in Liu Yong's heart that this time Tang Yanghe married a rich French lady Alice and was already married. Tang Yanghe smiled: This is all Alice's credit, I am looking for business opportunities in France, I am not at home all day, and their little brothers are carefully cared for and taught by Arya.
Liu Yong thanked Alia again and again. Alice is also a cheerful woman. She smiled and said: Chinese men love their wives, so I found a Chinese man to be my husband. Now that I'm going to be a mom soon, I understand how to treat my children as a mother.
Only then did Liu Yong realize that Alice's belly was bulging and she was about to give birth.
Liu Yongxi said: Yingzhi, after two years in France, it seems that you have gained the most. Not only has a beloved wife, but also has crystallization, congratulations.
Tang Yanghe said with a smile: Today, I will return An Lan and An Jiang to Zhao, fortunately, I will not dishonor your entrustment, I will enter Beijing in the future, and take Alice home by the way, my son, I hope he can land in his ancestral house.
Liu Yong and Tang Yanghe agreed that when Alice returned after giving birth in the capital, they would go to live in the new house of the Liu family in Nanxun.
Liu Yong said goodbye to Tang Yanghe and his wife, and returned to Nanxun with An Lan and An Jiang.
Liu Yong specially invited Mr. Hu to send Mr. Hu to the house for An Lan and An Jiang to give them lectures. One day, Mr. Hu asked An Lan, what is 'wealth'?
An Lan replied: Wealth is wealth, wealth is connotation, cultivation, and character. The rich are not expensive, but the poor are also poor. The answer surprised Mr. Hu, such a state of mind at such a young age. It's rare. He said to Liu Yong in private: This son can be taught, and he will become a great tool in the future.
Liu Yong leaned back on a chair in the room, squinting his eyes, thinking about how to cultivate his two sons, hoping that they would be able to embark on a career in the future, and also to honor their ancestors for the Liu family.
I heard Xiao Ju shouting outside: Brother Ayong, come quickly, the Jiang family is here.
When Liu Yong heard that Dongmei's in-laws were coming, he hurriedly dressed up and went out to the living room to meet the guests.
The person who came was the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, and they came to discuss with Liu Yong on behalf of their parents the time to marry Dongmei, and the Jiang family hoped that a good day would be set on the first day of March next year.
Since it was the day of the Jiang family's picking, Liu Yong naturally agreed. He is marrying his daughter, and he doesn't care about anything else, as long as he prepares the dowry.
After the Jiang family left, the Gui'an Shen family came one after another, and the two of them seemed to have discussed, and also set the date of marriage at the beginning of spring next year, just half a month later than the Jiang family.
The two daughters have set a day to go out, and they are going to prepare a dowry for them, Yuhui is gone, Liu Yong naturally refuses to wronged his daughter, he wants Hong Ying to handle it, but he is afraid that she will not come.
Xiaoju came up with an idea and said: You don't have to wait for the new house to be completed, now you invite a matchmaker to go over and hire it, and when you move to a new house, you can do the happy event together, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?
Liu Yong felt that Xiaoju's idea was good, so he asked Mrs. Wang to take a trip. Mrs. Wang happily agreed, everyone is willing to do this kind of ready-made matchmaker, and the Liu family is rich, and thank the matchmaker is indispensable.
Mrs. Wang happily hired a small sedan chair in green cloth and rushed to Song's house in Jili Village, but she didn't expect to have a closed door. The whole Song family was not at home, so they asked the neighbors, and the neighbors said that they had gone to Wu Xiao's relative's house by Taihu Lake to drink happy wine, and they would not be able to come back in a few days.
Mrs. Wang didn't give up, and went back a few days later to see Hong Yingniang in the house. She rushed into the house and was about to speak, but Hong Yingniang stopped her with a smile: Mother Wang, if you are here for my daughter's family affairs, please don't speak, she doesn't want to marry again.
Mother Wang clapped her hands and smiled: I know Hong Ying's three chastity and nine lies, if someone else entrusts me, I am naturally not interested, but Boss Liu asked me to be a matchmaker, I thought to myself that that is a good thing, it is called a broken mirror reunion.
Hong Yingniang said: I, as a mother, naturally look forward to their reunion, after all, husband and wife, not to mention that they are difficult to give up. But Hong Ying suffered too much, and her heart became cold. Now that I am concentrating on reciting Buddhism at home, she doesn't listen to anything I say, and if she is in a hurry, I am afraid that she will shave her ordination, so what is good?
Mother Wang still didn't give up and said: What about Hong Ying? It doesn't hurt for me to meet her.
Hong Yingniang reminded: If you want to see her, I will call her out, but you must not mention it.
Hong Yingniang shouted out, only to see a baby less than one year old in her right hand and a girl about three years old in her left hand, slowly walking out of the back room.
Mrs. Wang said: Oh, you help your brother take care of the children at home.
Hong Yingniang said: Where, it's okay if it's Hong's child. These are the abandoned children she picked up on the road, and they are pitiful, so they have to be taken home and raised.
Mrs. Wang said tentatively: Oh, Hong Ying, everyone knows that you have a good heart, and Boss Liu is also kind-hearted. If you bring the two children over, Boss Liu will definitely treat them well, don't you say?
Hong Ying said categorically: Mother Wang, I was a sin in my previous life, and I suffered so much in this life, if you go back and tell him, you will say that I have seen it through, and I will worship the Buddha devoutly and cultivate in the next life.
Mrs. Wang couldn't understand what Hong Ying said she had seen through, so she could only reply to Liu Yong with doubts.
Liu Yong sent Mrs. Wang away, a chill rose in his heart, he had thought about several reasons why Hong Ying might not want to return to Liu's house, and he also made various countermeasures, but he didn't expect that the reason why Hong Ying refused was to see through.
Others may not understand, but he, Liu Yong, understands in his heart why Hong Ying has seen through, she is not seeing through anyone, but through life. Thinking back to Hong Ying's life, when she first came to Nanxun as a teenager, she was still an innocent and lively little girl, she was not afraid of heaven and earth, she just wanted to take her fate into her own hands, but what did fate reward her? In the Liu family, she worked hard to take care of the housework and raise several children, but Yu Hui, who she relied on the most, died and entrusted the burden of the Liu family to her. In order to rescue Liu Yong and the child in the prison of the king of the block, she went to Shanghai Shiliupu Wharf alone to buy arms, in order not to affect the Liu family, she begged for a letter of resignation, and was misunderstood by Liu Yong's family. When she was in prison to be executed, she must have imagined the situation of going to Ling Chitai thousands of times, and when she woke up in a nightmare, she suddenly felt cold, saying that her heart was cold, but in fact, she understood the suffering of life and had no relief. Today seems to be bitter, full of flowers, and cooking oil, but what will happen in the coming day, who can predict it?
Liu Yong covered his face and cried alone in the study, he deeply realized the impermanence of life, and compassion rose in his heart. He decided not to force Hong Ying to return to Liu's house, even if he loved her deeply, he would still let her go. Determined to care for her silently and love her secretly.
Liu Yong asked Song Hongsheng to bring money to Hong Ying, and asked him to tell Hong Ying to live at home well, no longer need to worry about the affairs of the Liu family, if the Liu family owes her, if she can't pay it off in this life, she will pay it back in the next life.
Hearing that Dongmei and Qiumei were about to leave the cabinet, Hong Ying asked: Who will handle the dowry for them?
Hong Shengdao: He said, let his aunt and Xiaoju take care of it, you don't have to worry.
Hong Ying felt a little sour in her heart, she used to want to make a dowry for the two sisters and send them to marry, but now she can't do it.
That night, Hong Young dreamed of Yuhui. Yu Hui stroked her face with her hand and said with a smile: Sister, I have suffered you all these years...... Sister knows everything. But the two daughters are getting married, and you have to take care of it.
Hong Ying cried and threw herself into Yu Hui's arms, but she pounced and Yu Hui was gone.
Hong Ying woke up, tears wet the pillow, she looked at the two children next to the pillow, walked to the Buddha hall in cloves, bowed to the Bodhisattva, and silently chanted the scriptures in her mouth.
......
Liu Yong was taking inventory in the bank, and Liu Qian came in and said: I saw Brother Hong Sheng yesterday, and he said that his sister-in-law Hong Ying had adopted several orphans of refugees one after another, and she was very busy.
Hearing Liu Qian mention Hong Ying, his heart was still touched, and he asked: When did Hong Ying start adopting orphans?
Liu Qian shook his head and said: I don't know the specifics.
Liu Yong was also worried about Hong Ying, and just found this excuse to go to Jili Village to see her. He bought a basket of lotus orange cakes, brown sugar, peanuts, etc., and walked alone to Jili Village.
