Chapter 138: Dismounting
"Tao'er, what's wrong?"
Wen Tao was in a bad mood: "Eldest sister, my father married someone else, won't you want us in the future?" โ
"How so? You are the eldest son of the Wen family, Daddy's own son, how could he not want you? โ
"Oh."
Wenxi knew that someone must have chewed the root of his tongue in his ear: "Tell my sister, who told you what to say?" โ
Wen Tao shook his head, he looked at Wen Xi fixedly and said, "Tao'er still has an eldest sister." โ
Wen Xi held his hand tightly: "Of course! โ
With Wen Tao to the front hall, many people in the village came to congratulate him with gifts, and the people in the village couldn't send anything expensive, mostly some cloth and meat, Liu didn't dislike it, and welcomed people into the door with a smile.
"Oh, sister-in-law of the Wen family, it's the first time I've come to your house, this is too magnificent!"
"yes, yes! Now that your family Wenkang has married such a young daughter-in-law, in the future, your Wenjia heirs will not worry! โ
"What a blessing you're in!"
"I'm envious of us."
"Look at what you're wearing, it's silk! Look at us again, the material from ten years ago is still reluctant to change! โ
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
Soon, Liu was lost in the praise of everyone, and she beckoned everyone to the table with a red face.
Wen Danian was sitting inside, and someone came to congratulate him, but he just chatted a few words perfunctorily, obviously not in such a good mood.
Wen Xi took Wen Tao to sit on the small swing, and she pushed Wen Tao to have fun.
When Liu saw it, he regarded it as invisible.
On the second day after Wenxi came back, he asked Chen Xin to reinstall the swing, and Liu didn't say anything on his face when he saw this, but she didn't care if he said bad things about her behind her back.
After a while, I heard the sound of gongs and drums beating outside.
"The bride is in!" The matchmaker shouted for a while, only to see the bride walking off the sedan chair with the support of the maid next to her, and was led by Wen Kang across the brazier and all the way to the main hall.
Wen Danian and Liu were already sitting on the main seat, waiting for the two newcomers to worship heaven and earth.
This worship of heaven and earth was completed, and the two officially became husband and wife.
The girl of the Li family married into the Wen family as she wished and became the envy of others.
Early the next morning, Wenxi was woken up by his subordinates: "Girl, it's time to get up, the new lady is still waiting for tea." โ
Tea ceremony?
Which Menzi tea is toasted?
Wen Xi came to the front hall, only to see Wen Danian and Liu sitting in the main seat, Wen Kang and Li sitting on the left side, looking at this Li family's shy face, presumably yesterday's cave room candles are very unforgettable.
At this time, Wen Tao was also led by his subordinates.
Liu smiled and said, "Xi'er Tao'er, why don't you hurry up and kneel down to give tea to your mother?" โ
The Li family also looked over, and looked very gentle on the surface, but in fact, after knowing that it was Wenxi who took the swing back, he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, and felt that his power as the mistress of the Wen family had been provoked.
Wen Xi saw the coldness in her eyes at a glance, and said with a smile: "Since the Li family is the stepfamily, how can I kneel down and Tao'er to serve tea?" โ
Lee's? Can't even shout?
The smile on Li's face faded a lot: "Xi'er, since I have married into the Wen family, I am your elder." โ
"That's right! When it comes to seniority, you are naturally much higher than me, but when it comes to status, I'm afraid it's still far from me and Tao'er! Wen Xi took Wen Tao's hand, gave Wen Danian and Liu a salute, and gave Wen Kang a salute, and sat directly on Wen Danian's right hand: "Since our Wen family is going to start paying attention to the set in the town and county, then I will give a good introduction to the bride of our Wen family, after all, you have never been out of the village, and you have not read any books, so you must not understand many things." โ
Wen Xi dusted off the non-existent dust on her body, and said with a smile: "My mother Lin, although she was abandoned, but she is my father's original partner, she is my wife, and her child is naturally the son of the Wen family, even when she is abandoned, she is also the identity of the wife, so Tao'er and I are still the daughter-in-law in this family, you are the step-room who enters the door later, even if it is a lady, it is one level lower than me and Tao'er, your child, too." She said to Wen Danian: "Grandfather, am I right? โ
Wen Danian nodded in agreement.
When Li Shi heard this, his face suddenly couldn't hold back, and when he married in, his status was a little higher than that of those maids, and in the future, his children would also have the lowest status among the masters of the Wen family.
It was nothing like she had thought.
As for who will be in charge of the silver in the future, it seems even more impossible.
"Xi'er, how can you talk like that?" Without waiting for the Li family to turn his face, the Liu family said loudly: "When will it be your turn for the Wen family to have the final say?" I'm still alive with your grandfather! โ
"But my grandfather just agreed with what I said!"
When Liu heard this, he was dumbfounded, looked at her hatefully, and said no more.
Li pulled Wen Kang's sleeve and handed it over with a small look.
Wen Kang couldn't stand the coquettishness of the Li family, so he had to say to Wen Xi: "Xi'er, let's not do the same thing in the city, the Li family has entered the door, that is, the elders, no matter what you say, you have to respect." โ
Hehe, sure enough, the men are all the same, and they still missed the Lin family before, but now after a night, they are immersed in the new gentle township.
"It's not that I want to talk about the set in the city, it's that the bride wants to set up rules for me and Tao'er, since we have established rules, let's talk about the rules!"
Wen Kang has always been a backboneless, and when he saw his daughter say this, he stopped talking.
Li was annoyed, but he didn't dare to show it, thinking about how to fight with Wen Xi in the future.
Just as she was trying to figure it out, Wenxi gave her another hammer.
"I discussed with my grandfather a few days ago, Tao'er and I went to the town to study, so I removed the money I gave to Mr. Tao'er every month from the account, and the monthly money of the maid in the family will be directly taken from the account in my shop, and I will give the family ten taels of silver as expenses every month, and I will send these silver to my grandfather every month."
When Li Yu heard this, he only felt that his eyes were dark, how could this Wen family be like this?
really let a woman take charge of the house.
"Xi'er, shouldn't all the money in this family be managed by the elders of the family? How can it be at your disposal? โ
Wen Xi looked at her with some surprise and said, "Didn't grandmother tell you before you entered the door?" Our family has always been like this! โ
"The money in the family is all earned by Xi'er, and this house is also bought by Xi'er, so naturally she has the final say." Wen Danian took a sip of strong tea and said unhurriedly: "Besides, ten taels of silver a month is enough for our expenses, and most people in this village can't earn ten taels of silver all year round." โ
Wen Xi looked at Li Yu's depressed appearance, and the anger that was woken up by the morning was a little extinguished.
Li Yu tightened the handkerchief in his hand, disappointed in his heart.
I also promised to give my mother's family ten taels or twenty taels every month! What should we do now?
