Chapter 490: I Want to Hear the Truth
Cai Wei shook her head: "Mother, no!" You and Dad are very nice, very, very good. ”
"Then why did you have the idea of leaving to live?"
Could it be that Mama Ou taught it? Probably not!
Cai Wei lowered her eyes and didn't look at Li Yuan.
"Mother, I'm just taking precautions, just in case. I don't have the same surname as my father, everyone knows that Sasha and I were brought into Xie's house after you left. Dad is very nice and loves me too. But I heard that being an official is also risky, and I may suddenly have my house raided, so I wanted to set up a female household and move out. So that I will save up a great amount of silver, in case one day it ......."
Not to mention that Zhou Caijing can't listen to it, even Aunt Han is the same.
At this time, she hurriedly interrupted Cai Wei's words: "Good boy, my little aunt knows that you are for the good of your father, but we can't be too pessimistic." When your father becomes an official after becoming a sergeant, you will know what is at stake. If you really move out of the Xie family one day, believe it or not, your father's official did a good job, and he will definitely be included in the book the next day, and those people will use your affairs to attack your father? ”
Only Li Yuan knew that Cai Wei didn't tell the truth.
What she just said may be only one aspect, but it is not the main reason.
After she waited for Aunt Han to finish speaking, she pulled Cai Wei to her and bent down to look into her eyes.
"Cai Wei, my mother has to listen to the truth!"
Cai Wei glanced at Li Yuan, pursed her lips, and then the little hand hidden in her sleeve clenched into a fist, and only then did she speak.
"Mother, it is said that half an apprentice, as the only apprentice of the master, when the master has no heirs, he will give the master a pension. Although my aunt is not my master, she is actually no different from my master, we are just one name apart. ”
"Besides, my master was brought up by my aunt since childhood. The master wants to get married, and there will be many things in the future, and the aunt definitely doesn't want to retire in Sufu. I pondered, whether it was as Master's only apprentice or my aunt's relatives and grandchildren, it was reasonable for me to give her a pension and send her to the end of my life. Moreover, she has the kindness to teach me. ”
Cai Wei's words made Zhou Caijing's face moved, and Aunt Han was even more teary-eyed.
Li Yuan didn't say anything, held the person in his arms, and let go for a while.
"Caiwei, you did the right thing, my mother is not as good as you, and you always ask questions. In this way, when your aunt returns to Beijing after the New Year, we will invite her. In the future, let's give her a pension and send her to the end! ”
Cai Wei nodded vigorously, opened her hands, hugged Li Yuan, and buried her head in her arms.
"Mother, thank you!"
Thank you for not only not abandoning my sister and me, but also our aunt!
Li Yuan reached out and patted her gently on the back.
"No matter what you say in the future, you can say it directly to your mother, don't hold it in your heart. Also, don't mention the matter of setting up a female household, you know? ”
"Yes, I know!"
Cai Wei was coquettish in Li Yuan's arms for a while, and then Xu had some scruples, so she let go of the person with a little shame, pulled Qingsha, who wanted her mother to hug, and sat aside without squeaking.
She didn't speak, which didn't prevent Aunt Han from looking at her eyes, and she became more and more loving.
I saw her take out an embroidered handkerchief sideways, wipe the corners of her eyes, and then look at Zhou Caijing.
"Xiao Jing, it's getting colder and colder, Xinyang Mansion is the land south of the Yangtze River in the end, your cousin's family is new to the capital, maybe it won't be very adaptable. My aunt remembered that some time ago, the person below gave me a few white furs, and you went to your aunt's treasury to look for them. When I found it, I brought it over and brought it back to the two children to make thick warm clothes. ”
As she spoke, she glanced at the clothes on Li Yuan's body, and said, "You look for those cloths again, if there are suitable ones for your cousin, bring them over." ”
"Yes!"
Zhou Caijing answered the sound and walked out.
Li Yuan wanted to refuse, but she didn't say anything, she had already left the room.
"Auntie, you don't need to! Although Xinyang Mansion used to be warm, it was extremely cold last year. I bought thick clothes for Cai Wei and Qingsha, they used to grow up, but now they just need to put out the trouser cuffs and sleeve corners! ”
As she spoke, she paused and continued: "Before I came to the capital, I bought a lot of cotton. When I came, there was quite a lot of it in the carriage. If you don't believe me, you can ask the two children. ”
Cai Wei, who didn't squeak anymore, pulled Qingsha and nodded at the same time.
"Yes, little aunt, my mother bought a lot of cotton."
When Li Yuan came, the cotton was only "seen" by Cai Wei and them, and when they really got into the carriage, she would all be in the space.
Now it is not only Cai Wei and Qingsha, but also the grandchildren of Mama Ou and Li Laohan, all of whom know that there is no shortage of cotton in the main family.
Therefore, the covers and padded jackets at home are made thicker!
For Aunt Han, Li Yuan's sisters and brothers and their children are the only descendants in her life except for Caijing.
She wanted to be nice to them, especially the problems that silver could solve.
Hearing Li Yuan's words, she said: "Silly girl, it's your business that you don't lack, give it to your aunt, and you can keep it." Besides, with your husband's ability, it is inevitable that you will be a lieutenant, and you will have to dress well when you go out in the future. The fur that my aunt asked your cousin to fetch was of the highest quality, and as for the cloth, the best in my aunt's treasury was Ming Xiang satin. ”
When Aunt Han said this, she popularized it to Li Yuan again, what is Mingxiang satin.
"Auntie's fragrant satin is extremely rare, and it is a tribute made of silk. The patterns on the top are very rich, and I heard that they are dyed, and the colors are excellent. If it weren't for Mrs. Hou's gift, Aunt Xiao wouldn't be able to buy it even if she had money. But Madam, she only got three horses in total, or a few months ago, after she got better and entered the palace, the queen gave them. ”
"Speaking of which, if it weren't for Caijing coming back and giving her a life-saving potion before, so that her body is getting better day by day, she wouldn't have gotten this thing, let alone give me a horse."
Aunt Han said, sighed, and continued in a serious tone: "Yuanniang, I got this material because of your family, so I pondered, and you don't have any good material at hand at the moment. You take it back and make it into clothes, wait for your husband to wear it after becoming a jinshi, or keep it for Caiwei and Qingsha to be dowry when they grow up, they are all good things. ”
When Cai Wei heard this, she was a little surprised, and asked, "Little aunt, that fragrant satin, but it is produced in Jiangnan?" ”
"That's right! Silkworm raising in Jiangnan, and the little aunt of silk fabrics does not say all, that is, nine out of ten are from Jiangnan. However, my aunt heard that this fragrant satin is produced in Hedong County, and the annual output is very small. ”
As soon as Cai Wei heard about Hedong County, she stopped talking again, and finally didn't say anything.
She thought that the fragrant satin was probably made by her father.
Master said that Master had a tavern and a cloth dyeing workshop in Hedong County.
The dyeing workshop is said to be able to dye flowers on cloth.
At that time, she also asked curiously, what does the cloth look like.
