Chapter 152: I like dog-eat-dog dramas
Qin Shi was also immersed in memories and sighed: "The world is impermanent, you should give it a go, otherwise you will regret it."
Over the years, I resented myself, I didn't want to open my heart, I hid in this birdcage-like house all day long, I didn't dare to inquire about the world, and I didn't know the life and death of your grandfather's family.
You must not be like your mother. ”
Su Qingyan had long felt that it was not normal for the Qin family to stay at home all day, but he didn't want to look generous and dignified on the outside, and he was still so fragile in his heart.
This is depression in modern times! It's hard for her to endure such suffering day and night, but she can still treat her new daughter-in-law like her own daughter.
Su Qingyan took a deep breath, and suddenly remembered such a sentence.
Many people have said that they will treat their daughter-in-law as if they were their own daughters, but they are just scenes.
Only she, a dignified and virtuous mother-in-law, has the upbringing of a lady, although she pays attention to etiquette and does not seem necessary in the countryside, but she is such a person who has never said that she will treat her daughter-in-law as a daughter, and she is really good to her.
No one is perfect, but she is good to her mother-in-law, and she should be!
Su Qingyan's eyes were sour, he knelt beside Qin, and said movingly:
"Mother, daughter-in-law over, Xianggong has already told me something about the family, I can't change the past, but I want to help my mother find my grandfather's family, even if it is good to meet each other, I can make my mother comfortable, I am very satisfied.
I hope my mother can tell me more about my grandfather's house. ”
"Qingyan, these are not your responsibilities, why should you ......"
Qin's eyes lit up when she heard that Su Qingyan was going to help her find her mother's family, but then her eyes dimmed, as if she had fallen into an underground abyss.
That's what she should do as a daughter, but she has been a shrinking turtle for so many years, how can she still have the face to look for her mother and brother......
She didn't have the face to ask Su Qingyan to help her find it!
Qin's eyes were red, and she wanted to help Su Qingyan get up, but Su Qingyan couldn't get up, she said seriously: "My mother is happy, my husband is happy, and I am also happy." What's more, my mother treats me so well. ”
"Good boy, come, get up."
Qin wiped his tears, helped Su Qingyan up, and intimately patted the dust on Su Qingyan's skirt with his hand, and then said:
"After my father was imprisoned, our family was kicked out of the Lu family.
I wanted to settle down and go to your grandfather's family again, but before I could settle down, I heard that my house was raided and people were kicked out of the house, and I don't know where to go.
When I went out again, I got the news that your rented father was sick and died in prison, and your father-in-law was not in good health at home, and something like that happened to your grandfather's family outside, and I was devastated and gradually became dislike of interacting with people.
At that time, I occasionally went to the river in the south to wash clothes, but I couldn't talk to the women in the village, they rejected me very much, and gradually, a lot of gossip about our family came out.
Since then, I have been hiding at home all day, not going out again. ”
"But the family needs food and drink, so I bought some vegetables from my neighbor Ke's, and the first time I went, she didn't take any money, so I was very upset that I didn't go, and the second time I went, I stuffed some more money.
Since then, she has delivered food to the door, occasionally chicken, fish, pork, flour, rice, etc., and asked her to help run errands without anything, so I simply don't go out.
Alas, but that's all a pretty late thing. ”
Qin Shi was a little unable to hold back when he recalled, and he talked too much as he spoke, but Su Qingyan listened very seriously.
She said that the thousand taels of silver were spent so quickly, maybe a small half of them went into Ke's pocket.
Eh, it's really far away, she asked Qin: "Mother, do you remember how many brothers in the family are, what are their names?" ”
"My mother's ancestral home is Dongyang Mountain, after my father's gold list title, the whole family moved to the capital, my mother was married to my father before he made a career, and she is the daughter of Ji Liufang of the Ji family embroidery workshop in Pingshui County, Dongyang Mountain.
I also have an elder brother and an older sister, my sister Ji Fengyue married to a family surnamed Zhong, and my brother-in-law Zhong Mingliang was taking the Xiucai exam at the time, and I don't know if I was in it.
My brother Qin Fengda married Tao Ping, the daughter of the prince of Zhengbapin Guo, and had a son and a daughter, the eldest son Qin Fengnian, who was one year older than Tianhui, and had a daughter, who was still a milk doll at that time, without a name, and should be fourteen or fifteen years old now!
As for my sister, I didn't know she was pregnant at the time, but I hadn't been in touch with my sister for a long time. ”
"Well, I made a note of it."
Su Qingyan nodded, knowing that the ancients were not well developed, and many people would not see their parents and sisters once in a few years after they got married.
After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked, Qin's was a little more cheerful, seeing that it was not early, he wanted to go out to make lunch, Su Qingyan wanted to help, Qin said that he would not let the new daughter-in-law who had entered the door for less than three days do it, and finally Su Qingyan had no choice, so he handed over a plate and took three pairs of chopsticks.
After lunch, the Qin family didn't let Su Qingyan wash the dishes, so Su Qingyan went to the west wing to sort out the dowry he brought.
Originally, the mother's family prepared thirty-eight lifts, which is the same as the thirty-eight big ones, which is already a very decent dowry, which includes a needlework basket, daily necessities, new clothes, new quilts, some food, wine, and the same scale as when Su Xiang got married.
Later, Su Xiang added six more lifts, which were some ornaments, clothes or something.
But now there are one hundred and eight lifts here, Su Qingyan looked at it, smiled, laughed and cried.
The sixty-four dowries behind this are not only all kinds of furniture, jewelry, but even the baby clothes of the little doll are ready, her clothes are silk, Luo, silk, and forging, winter and summer, each has many sets, and there are many uncut fabrics, the color is slightly old, probably for her middle and old age.
Even, there is the shroud she wears when she is dying.
I heard that rich families will prepare all the things from the time their daughter gets married to when she dies, and Gao Bing's attitude of 'I don't eat a grain of rice from your family, don't wear a single piece of clothing from your family, you don't want to pinch me' is the greatest confidence for his daughter.
How can she have such a brother and do her best to protect her.
She suddenly remembered that when she got married, Bai Lingjun changed his usual white clothes, and her heart was inexplicably moved.
After putting everything in order, the fabrics, the new clothes that she couldn't wear, folding them and putting them in the box, and taking out everything she could eat and use now, her mood was always difficult to calm down.
Lu Tianhui made up the bed, greeted her, saw that her eyes were a little red, and hurriedly took the things in her hand and asked, "What's wrong?" But homesick? I'll take you back to the door tomorrow, and then you can go back whenever you feel homesick. ”
"Well, thank you."
Su Qingyan feels that she is really happy now! has such a good father-in-law and such a good family.
Lu Tianhui stretched out his hand and nodded her little nose, and said lovingly:
"Qingyan, my wife, I must be good to you in the future and not let you cry again."
"Hmm." Su Qingyan nodded, threw herself into Lu Tianhui's arms, the corners of her lips curled, she closed her eyes sweetly, and her eyes slid down.
Lu Tianhui, do you know that there is also a kind of tear that will slip down when you are happy.
In the afternoon, Lu Tianhui went into the city to buy a lot of pastries, two catties of sugar, ten catties of pork, and two jars of good wine, which was considered to be a gift for returning home. But what he was looking forward to most was the evening.
Waiting left and right until it was dark, he was irritable like a cat that could not catch mice.
After dinner, without saying a word, he dragged his little daughter-in-law back to the room.
