218 Past Lives (2)
Without Shen Tinglan, this year is tasteless.
But Sang Xuanyue quickly adjusted her mentality, after all, she not only has a husband, but also a child.
Although Cheng'er is young, she is very sensitive to people's emotions. Sang was unhappy, and he wrinkled his little face every day, looking bitter and hateful, looking so unpleasant.
Although the child's appearance looks cute and lovely, but after the New Year, where is Sang Xuanyue willing to make him unhappy?
She tried to adjust her mood and try to do ideological work for herself. She couldn't resolve her depression, so she buried herself in reading, hoping to find solace in books.
Xu is has read more books, and Xu is mentality has slowly adjusted. By Chinese New Year's Eve, Sang Twisting Moon was already able to laugh and joke with people, and there was no haze between his eyebrows.
Seeing this, the second lady pulled her and said, "You are good, I didn't dare to come to look for you when I saw you frowning a few days ago." ”
"Don't you dare come to me? You're in charge of the New Year's ceremonies and feasts in the house, and you're too busy to pay attention to me. ”
The second lady patted Sang Twisted Yue's arm lightly, and said angrily, "It's not all your fault. Mother asked you to preside over the feed with me, you will be lazy. First of all, it was an excuse that Cheng'er was small, and then it was an excuse that you had not learned to be a housekeeper, and I was worried that I would not be able to help but add to the chaos. My mother and I worked together to stuff work in your hands, but you can't help it, but you also try to save trouble. first took over a flower and herb room, and then was forced to take over a needlework room. The easy work is all done by you, and the hard and tired fall on my head. Now you blame me for being too busy to pay attention to you. Tell me about you, but if you take care of things a little more, will I be so tired? ”
The second lady's complaints were one by one, and Sang Xuanyue was so big that she wanted to raise her hands and feet to surrender.
In fact, not only her, but even the second lady knows that now they are all working for nothing.
When the old lady goes, this house will definitely be separated. At that time, the middle feed in the house must be operated by the sister-in-law. No matter how much authority they hold now, they will have to hand it over when the time comes. Then you say, why are they so tired now? Isn't it good for them to be rich and idle young grandmothers like this?
There will be no shortage of food in the house, and they will be able to save time and leisure, and there will be no more cost-effective deal.
But reality doesn't allow it.
Who made the eldest brother in the house delay in remarrying, and there is never a justifiable hostess in the house?
Sang Xuanyue is better, after all, the time she married in is short, and San Lang is not at home, she takes care of a child by herself, and she is indeed flawless. On the other hand, the second lady, her children are all older, and her husband's errands are also loose, in this case, who will do the errands in this house if the second lady doesn't do it?
The relationship between the two is good, so it's okay to talk about it. However, when it came to Sang Twisting Yue's face was not good some time ago, the second lady was quite apprehensive.
"In the past, you were only a good-natured person, and you smiled at everyone. Clinker, you must be a really grumpy person. In the past few days, I have a tense face, my eyebrows and eyes are drooping, and the whole person looks very sad, I don't dare to talk to you, for fear of making you cry again. ”
Sang twisted the moon and said: "How can I be so ......"
The second lady patted her hand and asked again, "San Lang's situation is really not serious, right?" ”
Sang Xuanyue nodded again.
The second lady said, "That's good, that's good." You don't know, as soon as you put that look on your face, I was first worried that you would be angry with Saburo, and I was worried that Saburo's illness had a hidden secret...... Fortunately, everything went smoothly. You can endure it a little longer, endure it for another month, and San Lang will be able to go home. ”
Sang Xuanyue now mentioned Shen Tinglan, and she could already laugh heartlessly. She said, "That's for the best." ”
The two of them talked about going to Huangjue Temple to burn incense the day after tomorrow.
Originally, the old lady also went to the temple to burn incense every year during the New Year, but in previous years, it was after the seventh day of the lunar month. At that time, relatives and friends had generally walked through the old days, and the house was not so busy, and the old lady could also find time to go to the temple.
The reason why it was advanced to the second year of junior high school this year was also because San Lang was seriously ill, and the old lady was a little scared. When people are old, they are most afraid that white-haired people will send black-haired people.
The old lady thought about going to the temple to worship earlier, so that the Buddha could bless her San Lang with a speedy recovery and return to Beijing as soon as possible.
The old lady had also told Sang Twisting Moon about this matter earlier, and Sang Twisting Yue naturally had no reason not to agree.
It stands to reason that the second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when a foreign-married girl returns to her parents' home. But Sang Xuanyue's maiden family is far away in Jinju, and her eldest brother is on an errand in Minzhou. Younger brother Qing'er, although he studied at Yingtian Academy on weekdays, he also went back to Minzhou to celebrate the New Year with his brother and sister-in-law during his annual leave.
Returning to her parents' house in the second year of junior high school will not work for Sang Xuanyue, and although there are two concubines in the Hou Mansion who are married, they have also been released with their husbands in the past two years.
If the aunt and grandmother who got married in the Hou Mansion don't come back, and Shen Yuyao, who is not married, doesn't need to think too much, so it will work to go to Huangjue Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings on the second day of junior high school.
It's just that the second lady wants to go back to her parents' house in the second year of junior high school, so she said regretfully: "If my mother pushes back the day, I can also follow you out for a spin." It's a pity...... "It's a pity, there's no need to say anything."
The time soon came to the second day of junior high school, Sang Xuanyue thought that she and the old lady would go with Cheng'er today, but she didn't expect that when she was about to help the old lady out of the Heyan Hall, she saw the eldest brother wearing a low-key black brocade robe with red moire and walking over.
Sang Xuanyue looked over in surprise, and hurriedly saluted the eldest brother. Even Rongcheng, although he was a little timid in the face of the uncle, he also called the "uncle" in a well-behaved and meticulous manner.
The old lady Xu was aware of Sang Yueyue's surprised gaze, so she turned her head and explained to her, "Your eldest brother will go out with us today." Otherwise, we two mothers, there is still such thick snow on the road, no one can rest assured. ”
Sang Xuanyue thought about it, so he hurriedly said: "The eldest brother is filial piety and thoughtful. It's just that this trip is going to be hard, big brother. ”
Shen Tingjun said coldly, "It's not hard." ”
The old lady said: "According to previous years, Dalang had to go to pay New Year's greetings at this time, but this year he deliberately postponed the trip." My eldest man, it's good anywhere, but this one won't make it ......."
The old lady's unfinished words were choked in her throat. Because Shen Tingjun said in time: "Mother, it's not early, let's leave early." The road is slippery, the carriage is slow, and there are many people who go to the Huangjue Temple during the New Year. ”
When the old lady heard that she was "good", she didn't care for a while to complain that her son would not remarry if she didn't get married, but she hurriedly called out to her beloved little grandson, and several people walked towards the gate of the Hou Mansion together.
Because he was in a hurry, and because Rongcheng people had slow calves and feet, after leaving Heyan Hall, he was hugged by the vigorous grandmother beside him.
Sang Xuanyue supported the old lady, and on the other side of the old lady was Shen Tingjun.
The two walked slowly with the old lady in their arms, and Sang Twisting Moon was a little uncomfortable. She looked sideways slightly, and saw the eldest brother telling the old lady to slow down, and if she was tired, she could rest and rest before continuing to walk.
The man's eyebrows and eyes were cold, his skin was fair, and his expression was gentle when he spoke to the old lady, but when he looked at the outline of his facial features, it was so cold and hard.
Sang Xuanyue hurriedly retracted her gaze, not daring to look again.
Soon got into the carriage and went to the Huangjue Temple together.
The old lady and Shen Tingjun sat in the carriage in front, and Sang Xuanyue and Rongcheng sat in the carriage behind.
Naturally, no one had anything to say about this arrangement, and it really made Sang Xuanyue breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the pressure on the eldest brother is too heavy, and it really takes too much courage to live in a small space with him.
It's good like this, she stays with her son, mother and son tell jokes casually, idle and comfortable.
But before Sang Twisting Moon could breathe a sigh of relief, in the blink of an eye they were in trouble.
The trouble did not come from them, but from the Marquis of Xinchang.
Yes, an hour after they left the city, they met the carriage of the Marquis of Xinchang.
The old lady of Xinchang Hou looked forward to her grandson, but her son did not move for a long time after he got married. Even if she arranged a concubine room for the little couple's room, she still didn't hear any good news.
The old lady of Xinchang Hou was anxious to get on the fire and worshiped at the temple gate. She is a frequent visitor to Huangjue Temple, and she has to rush to Huangjue Temple to burn incense on the second day of the new year every year.
This is not a secret in the capital, but no matter how attentive the old lady is to serve the Buddha, there is still no good news from the Marquis of Xinchang.
The old lady came so late today, I'm afraid she is not slacking off and doesn't want to serve the Buddha? Or did you encounter something and go out late?
Sang Xuanyue was thinking about it when she heard the sound of small footsteps approaching the carriage.
The coachman respectfully shouted "Master Hou", Sang Xuanyue couldn't control his heart, and then he heard the voice of the eldest brother: "Brother and sister, go to the carriage in front and sit." The carriage of the Marquis of Xinchang Mansion broke down halfway, and today I will wronged you to give the carriage to the old lady of the Marquis of Xinchang. ”
Sang Xuanyue let out an "oh", and then realized what Shen Tingjun's words meant.
She lifted the curtain and wanted to look out, but at this time, Shen Tingjun had already shouted "Cheng'er", Rong Cheng responded respectfully, and then got out of the carriage curtain.
Seeing this, Sang Xuanyue had no intention of paying attention to anything else, and hurriedly followed Cheng'er out of the carriage.
She stood on the wheel of the carriage, and saw that Shen Tingjun had already held Cheng'er in his arms, and the two uncles and nephews were heading towards the carriage that the old lady was riding.
And near the old lady's carriage, sure enough, a carriage broke in place. It seems that the wheel of the car is crooked in the snow nest, but when it is pulled out, the wheel is completely broken. If you want to repair it, this ice and snow will definitely not be able to repair it for a while. If you don't repair it, if you don't have the tools to ride, whether it's going back to your home or going to Huangjue Temple, it's all troublesome.
The old lady of Xinchang Hou was talking to the old lady about the danger with palpitations, and finally said: "Fortunately, I met you today, otherwise if I can't wait for anyone to come, I'm afraid that my old bones will freeze to death here." ”
Today, Xu Zhijun returned to his parents' house with his wife - there is only one seedling in the Xinchang Marquis Mansion, and the rest do not even have a concubine. The old lady of the Marquis Mansion in Xinchang is very free, so she goes out early on this day every year to make incense. Today, her old man went out with the concubine who gave Xu Zhijun a year ago, who knew that it was so unfortunate that the wheels were crooked in the snow pit.
This is also thanks to the timely arrival of the people from the Wu'an Hou Mansion, otherwise she was not frightened to death, but also froze to death.
It is also because it is not only the old lady of Xinchang Hou who is on the scene now, but even one of Xu Zhijun's concubines, so the old lady is not able to let them enter her carriage directly.
But it was not appropriate to leave people in place like this, so this was the idea of letting Sang Xuanyue give up the carriage to the Marquis of Xinchang.
Not to mention how grateful and happy the old lady of Xinchang Hou was to get the help of the Hou Mansion. only said that because there was only one carriage left for the owner, Sang Xuanyue had to go hard.
Being in this small carriage with his eldest brother, although Shen Tingjun has not spoken much, his sense of presence is too strong, and Sang Xuanyue is also very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, there is still Cheng'er.
Cheng'er is young, but she is also lively and cute, and the old lady laughs when she teases him. With such a pistachio in the carriage, the atmosphere is not so awkward.
Soon arrived at the Huangjue Temple.
The old lady walked up the mountain one by one, and when she arrived at the Huangjue Temple, everyone was tired and shaking.
Fortunately, the old lady is also a frequent visitor to the Huangjue Temple, and there are fixed guest rooms in the Huangjue Temple, so when they arrived at the Huangjue Temple, Shen Tingjun and Sang Xuanyue went back to the room with the old lady to rest.
When the old lady came to her senses, several people went to the main hall to pray to God and worship Buddha.
The old lady begged for a few peace charms that had been lit before the spirits, and put them on her son and grandson herself. She also wanted Shen Tingjun to ask for a marriage sign, but unfortunately, Shen Tingjun did not cooperate......
Sang Xuanyue looked at the eldest brother's thick eyebrows and furrowed lips, with a look of resistance, for some reason, she wanted to laugh in her heart.
She really made a little noise...... Of course, it's really just a little bit.
But the sound of the clothes rubbing against him may have alarmed him, and he looked straight over. Sang Xuanyue hurriedly turned his back and slapped his face with his hands in embarrassment.
She was really bold enough to dare to watch her eldest brother's jokes.
However, thinking about it, her mother actually asked her eldest brother to entrust her family affairs on a few marriage signs, and she also thought it was funny.
The movement of Sang Twisting Yue's back was a little big, and even the old lady was alarmed. Only then did the old lady realize that there were not only Da Lang and her, but also the little daughter-in-law and the little grandson......
Let the moon see this scene, it is too detrimental to the majesty of Da Lang, a brother.
The old lady looked up, and sure enough, she saw that Da Lang's eyebrows and eyes were even darker, so she also withdrew her hand, put the stick holder back on the ground, and then coughed casually and said, "Let's go to Wenquxing again." San Lang is going to end next year, let's go to Wenqu Xing where to put on two more sticks of incense, and bless San Lang to be able to win the Toad Palace next year. ”
This stubble has been so wrong, but Sang Twisted Moon walked at the end, looking at the long figure walking in front of the old lady leaving, and then thinking about the aggrieved appearance that he was frowning with thick eyebrows just now, angry but unable to speak, and suddenly felt that the eldest brother standing on the Buddha shrine seemed to be alive and back, and even on his body, there was a little more smell of fireworks in the world.
Today's three watches! Obviously, before I wrote it, I only planned to write two or three chapters in my previous life, but as soon as I started writing, I couldn't stop the car. Go with the flow, write as much as you can. Babies have a good time reading the text.
