Chapter 8 1 The Dowry's Counterattack
At noon, just as the old and the young had eaten, the Wu family's carriage arrived, and this time it was the nanny next to Brother Kun who got down.
Su Yuan was a little surprised, afraid that Brother Kun would feel uncomfortable, so she quickly picked her up to talk.
The nanny was shy and introverted, barely gossip, seeing that there was no outsider in the room, she took an envelope from her bosom and held it to Su Yuan with both hands.
"Miss Su, our second master knew that the servant girl was coming to inquire about some trivial matters, so he asked the servant girl to hand over the letter to the girl."
Su Yuan blushed slightly, wondering if Mou Yi had written a love letter, but she didn't feel like it when she touched the envelope, opened the envelope and took a closer look, and inside were two bank notes, each with a denomination of 500 taels.
Not to mention Su Yuan, even Granny Wu, who was drinking tea and never interjected, was shocked, not to mention Brother Kun's round eyes. Fortunately, she knew the rules, and immediately lowered her head without daring out.
Su Yuan held the bank note in a daze for a long while, feeling joyful and sweet in her heart, she hadn't married into the Mou family yet, and her husband-in-law, who was going to share the bed with her in the future, was protecting her like this, what could make her more excited than this? assured?
However, she has the principles of being a human being. Even if she doesn't have a generous dowry, she still has the confidence to step into the door of the Mou family with her back straight.
Thinking in this way, she sealed the bank note and stuffed it back to the nanny, and said with a smile: "Please tell my sister-in-law to send a message to the second master for me, just say that I have my own dowry, thank you for his kindness. He has already sent what he wanted, and I am very happy."
The nanny was so surprised that she held the envelope foolishly and didn't answer for a long while, then she jumped up suddenly as if she had been electrocuted, hurriedly pulled an autumn-colored package beside her, and respectfully sent it to Su Yuan.
"Girl, our second master still has an explanation. If you don't accept the letter, let the servant give you this package. He also said that you must always accept the same."
Su Yuan blinked, not understanding what Mou Yi was playing. Finally, when he solved it, a piece of thick red silk satin was revealed inside the package, with fine texture and pure color. Large peony flowers were decorated with golden threads. It seemed to be flowing faintly with luster, and she fell in love with it almost immediately.
Granny Wu couldn't help but praise: "This silk is really beautiful!"
The nanny faintly raised her head when she heard this, and said goodbye in a low voice, "If Miss Su has nothing else to do, the servant will leave."
Su Yuan hesitated for a moment, finally kept the silk and satin, then smiled and sent the nanny out.
When she came back, Grandma Wu had already cut the silk and satin with scissors, and was looking for a needle and thread basket to sew. When she saw her coming in, she said, "Go to the next door and invite your Aunt Liu to help. She is the father and mother." Quanfu, who has both mothers and children, is rare and good at embroidery, so let's ask her to help embroider the wedding dress. And we will go to Liu's to buy two pieces of tofu, and we have to arrange four dishes at night, so it's not good to let her go for nothing. Tired..."
Su Yuan leaned on the door frame, hearing Granny Wu's nagging, arranging the arrangements meticulously, she was in a daze for a moment, is she going to get married soon?
I remember that my girlfriends used to pat her round face with hatred, feeling that she would not be able to get married in this life. I didn’t expect that she would become a wife in just two months. Both.
If the girlfriends found out, they would probably lose their big teeth in shock, and then pounce on her and shout what kind of shit luck she had.
It's a pity that she can never go back, and she is destined to stay here to settle down, marry and have children...
"Di la la, di la la!" Suona's short crisp sound was blown all the way from Sanli Village into Wanshi City at noon on this spring day.
The bright red sedan chair carried by eight people, and the handsome groom riding on a tall horse in front of the sedan chair, caused countless passers-by to stop and watch the excitement.
If you think that this is the reason why everyone is curious, you are very wrong.
Everyone was staring at the two young men in new clothes behind the sedan chair who were speechless in shock. They saw that they were jointly carrying a half-new camphor wood box. There are new and old books, but there is not a speck of gold and silver shining through them.
Looking back, there is no more.
there is none left!
That is to say, the newly married daughter-in-law of the Mou family actually only brought a dowry. This is simply the most shabby dowry since the founding of Wanshi City, no, it should be said that since Chilong was founded.
Even the poorest peasant family needs to bring two boxes of Four Seasons clothes and a set of dressing tables and wooden barrels when marrying a girl. The new daughter-in-law of the Mou family is lucky, but for the first time, she only brought a load of dowry into the door. She is stupid after all. It's clear, is there something else to rely on?
With such doubts, the streets and alleys of Wanshi City were like boiling water, and they were noisy.
People who come and go with Mou's family naturally go to Hexi to drink.Those who couldn't get in just sat in the teahouse, talking about foaming.
Someone said: "The new grandmother of the Mou family is said to be a medical girl from a farming family, and she has good medical skills. The Mou family is not short of money, so they shouldn't look down on her just because she doesn't bring a dowry."
Another person also said: "I heard that the Mou family's grandson is a sick child, so it may be that the Mou family married lowly to find someone to take care of the eldest grandson."
At the table next to him, someone smacked his lips unbearably, turning the teacup in his hand like a spinning top. It was obvious that he was holding back his words but hesitating.
Everyone didn't care about whether they knew each other, so they pulled this person to question.
The man looked around for a while, and then whispered with excitement and horror: "I'm afraid you haven't heard of the name of Erye Mou, I have relatives who always go to the capital, but I have heard of it." After a few words, this Mou Erye is a life-killing wife. He has killed two women before. The first one died before entering the house, and the second one was even more pitiful. The family wanted to marry their daughter, but they ran away in fright, and for some reason, they married another wife this time..."
"Ah, so there is such a reason!" Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, and they started discussing with each other.
"No wonder the dignified Earl married a peasant girl."
"Yeah, I said there is a reason for this, otherwise, no matter how wronged I am, I won't be able to marry a peasant girl."
"Speaking of which, this peasant girl is also pitiful, isn't she dying soon?"
"No, maybe I get up tomorrow morning... Well, that's all, maybe this woman is a lucky one."
"This woman's family probably knows the reason. Otherwise, why did she only bring a dowry, maybe she kept all the dowry money for her own use."
Although everyone felt that they wanted to be virtuous and unwilling to speak too harshly, the corners of their eyes and brows were full of strange colors, and their pity was slightly schadenfreude.
Not to mention how the idlers in the streets and alleys of Wanshi City talked about it, but the Mou family was extremely lively here.Mrs. Mou made up her mind to give her son a big deal, but everyone who was friendly sent a post, and there were thirty tables of banquets.
The main courtyard entertains distinguished guests, and several side courtyards entertain female guests and ordinary guests respectively. Although they are busy, they do not appear chaotic.
The Yunqi Courtyard where Mou Yi lived was also brightly lit at the moment, even after noon, the pair of big red dragon and phoenix candles with thick arms on the table were lit, and the bursting of lanterns from time to time made people sitting on the wedding bed Su Yuan woke up a little.
It is said that the bridal sedan chair is carried by everyone, and she also found it extremely interesting to watch the TV drama, but it is a pity that she sat in it and wandered for more than a dozen miles, only then did she truly understand the hard work involved, what a miserable word!
Even though she had finished worshiping and been sent to the bridal chamber for so long, she still felt that she was dangling. If she hadn't remembered that she was a bride today, she would have vomited long ago.
Fortunately, the rules here are worship at noon, banquet in the afternoon, and bridal chamber in the evening.If not, the groom hugged her "exuberantly", but she vomited all about him, maybe she would be sent home right away?
Thinking of this, Su Yuan couldn't help laughing.
Mrs. Pond was bringing in a few female relatives from a family of family friends. Hearing this laughter, she sneered, "Hey, why is the new sister-in-law so happy? That's right, our Mou family is not from an ordinary family. My sister-in-law is from a farm family. I'm afraid I never thought that I would have such a blessing to marry in, so I should laugh a little more."
Although he called sister-in-law several times in these words, anyone who is not deaf can hear them, and there is no sense of respect in them.
Among the female relatives behind her, two of them covered their mouths and laughed, their eyes were full of interest, and they looked like they were watching a good show.
But the other two older women frowned slightly, one of them couldn't bear Su Yuan's embarrassment, and said: "Er Mou is both talented and beautiful, and has a noble character. Whose daughter is afraid to marry?" Let's all rejoice."
Pond curled his lips, but he didn't dare to reply because of the woman's status, so he could only continue to amuse Su Yuan.
"When I married into Mou's family, I only brought 64 loads, and the dowry worth 3000 taels was disliked by others. Now I heard that my sister-in-law brought an extraordinary dowry, which surprised the whole city. I'm very curious, sister-in-law, don't be stingy, where did you hide the dowry, let someone carry it to the yard to dry it, so we can open our eyes."
A young woman pulled a veil to cover her mouth and nose, and echoed with a smile: "That's right, I'm curious too."
On the contrary, the older woman who spoke earlier looked a little unbearable, and wanted to say something, but her sleeve was pulled away by her companion.
Today, it is clear that the Mou family's sisters-in-law are at odds, and they use the excuse to give the new daughter-in-law a bad impression. They are all outsiders. If they help once, it is a favor, but if they help twice, they will end up grudges. After all, this is their family business. Good to meddle.
The elderly woman also knew this truth, she sighed inwardly and shut her mouth.
Su Yuan didn't know these people's small plans, but she also heard that the "brother and sister" who spoke twice did not have any good intentions. If she really felt inferior because of the dowry, it was probably because of Jidui like this, she would not even think about raising her head in the Mou family in the future. Be human.
But she is not. There are a group of girlfriends who believe that "marrying a good husband is not as good as making money by yourself". Even if she can't become a superwoman, she is definitely a new self-reliant woman.
The most important thing is that she has learned several years of child-rearing classics, various diet therapy and treatment methods for minor illnesses, and even the knowledge of prenatal and postnatal care is urgently needed in this time and space, which is enough for her to support herself and be proud of herself.After all, when the dowry is exhausted, no one can take away the ability to settle down.
"The one who is talking is the younger brother and sister. I heard that the younger brother and sister have a heartless and quick-talking temper. Now it seems that it is true." Su Yuan's soft and sweet smile spread through the gap in the hijab, and everyone heard it. Wei Wei was taken aback, whether it was surprise or amazement that she dared to respond.
Su Yuan said again: "My brother and sister are right. I'm not boasting. My dowry is really great. My brother and sister's dowry worth 64 taels will be spent one day, but my dowry is a treasure." , no matter who has learned it, it is enough to settle down. The most important thing is that when life is at stake, no matter how much gold and silver ingots you eat, you can’t survive, but my dowry can snatch people in front of Hades. Now I am married into the Mou family , this treasure is naturally also belonged to the Mou family, no matter how happy the younger siblings are, don’t show it too much, otherwise if you lose a book and a half, you won’t be able to pay for it with any amount of gold and silver.”
After her words fell, no one in the room spoke for a while, and then a young woman couldn't bear it anymore, and burst out laughing, breaking the weird silence.
Heartless city?Quick talk?
At first, I thought that Grandma Mou San’s words would be enough to choke people, but I didn’t think that Grandma Mou Er was not a good person. The two words only pointed out the fact that Grandma Mou San was stupid and mean-spirited. Stepping on her 3000 taels of dowry, and lifting her box of broken books as high as possible, it's really clever without losing the slightest bit of wind and making people unable to grasp it.
The other three women obviously thought of this too, they all lowered their heads and pretended to wipe their sweat, but the corners of their mouths were all raised.
"You, you..." Pond was dizzy with anger, and wanted to yell, but remembering how powerful his second uncle was, he swallowed those words back.
It's a pity that Su Yuan didn't intend to let her go lightly, and the innocent voice came out from under the hijab again, "What's the matter, brother and sister, did I say something wrong? Ah, I'm so innocent, I believe what my brother and sister say What, isn’t your dowry worth 64? Or is it not worth 3000 taels? Could it have been spent long ago? Don’t worry, don’t worry, we will be a family from now on. I will try my best to snatch you back from King Jian."
"You..." Mrs. Pond married into the Mou family. Although she was not welcomed by her parents-in-law, she was not so blocked from speaking.
Seeing that she was about to get angry and curse, she didn't want to run into the yard, but several children, both men and women, ran towards Su Yuan when they entered the house, arguing to see the bride.
Su Yuan likes children the most, and has learned a lot about coaxing children. She is not afraid of children making noise, so she reached out and caught a fat boy who was mischievous and took off the hijab from the corner of her head, and said with a smile: "Oh, what will happen after this?" Where did the big heroes and little beauties come from? How do you know that I just heard a lot of interesting stories, and I am worried about who to tell them to!"
Listen to the story?
The children were all six or seven years old, and when they were very curious, they stopped their hands when they heard this, and asked in chirping, "Really?! You can tell stories, are they good?"
"Of course it sounds good. If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Kun. I have told him many stories." Su Yuan smiled heartily, but she grabbed the naughty boy's hand and refused to let go.
Some children thought of something, and they all became happy, "Ah, it turns out that Brother Kun's story was told by you, and we want to listen to it too!"
"However, I only talk to children who know the rules and know the rules. Are you good children who know the rules and know the rules?"
"Of course it is." Several children hurriedly shouted in unison.
"Okay, then you guys find a seat and sit down. Let me have a few words with this little hero first, okay?"
"it is good."
Although the children were eager to hear the story, they didn't want to be told that they were ignorant of the rules and manners, so they found their seats one after another, waiting eagerly for Su Yuan to speak.
Pond didn't expect Su Yuan to resolve the good show she had painstakingly arranged with a few words, and she was so angry that she almost tore the veil in her hand.
On the other hand, the women on the side frowned, with annoyance hidden in their eyes.Although these children are not their children, they are more or less related. Today, they were pulled by Pond's as tools, and no one could be happy.
Su Yuan didn't know why, so she opened her mouth and said to the naughty boy, "Little hero, tell my sister, do you sweat profusely when you sleep every night? You are usually locked in the room and don't go out to play and bask in the sun?"
The naughty boy scratched the back of his head, thought for a while, and said, "My mother always locks me to study in the house, and doesn't let me go out to play... Well, there is sleep, I don't know, I fell asleep."
He said so, but a young woman next to Mrs. Pond couldn't help it. She took two steps forward and said, "Did Grandma Mou see that the child is uncomfortable? I'm listening to the child's mother." As I said before, this child sleeps very unsteadily and sweats a lot. When I went to see a doctor, it was said that there was a fever in the womb, and it didn’t get better after taking several medicines.”
Su Yuan nodded, thought for a while, and said: "I don't think it's a fever, but the child's body lacks a certain nutrient. I call this nutrient calcium. Please go back and tell the child's mother to cook more for the child on weekdays." Pig drum stick soup, eat some dried shrimps, and don’t restrain the children, just expose to the sun every day, and after a month or two, it will relieve a lot.”
"It's so simple?" The woman couldn't believe it. After all, she heard that when the child's mother went to find the doctor, she paid 50 taels for the consultation fee, and most of the prescriptions were good medicines.Now Su Yuan is only allowed to eat such cheap things as pork bone sticks and dried shrimps, plus basking in the sun, which is really nothing more common.
Su Yuan didn't explain much, and replied: "Since this sister-in-law also said that the prescription is simple, why don't you try it, the effect will be better, even if it doesn't work, there is no harm, is it?"
"Yes, Grandma Mou Er is right." The woman blushed a little, knowing that her questioning just now was a bit impolite, so she pulled the child to salute and thank her.
"On behalf of the child's mother, I would like to thank Second Grandma for her guidance."
"This sister-in-law is polite, but it's just a little effort."
Su Yuan said a few polite words, but the naughty boy couldn't bear it anymore, he pulled his hands away and shouted to listen to the story, Su Yuan was also sitting idle and bored, so he cut off the story meeting.
The women were a little curious at first, but they wanted to take the children away earlier and avoid the muddy waters of Mou's house. They didn't want Su Yuan's story to be really interesting, not to mention the children, even they were deeply attracted.
Pond asked several times to ask everyone to go out, but no one paid any attention. In the end, she was so angry that she flung her sleeves and walked away.
The women looked at each other, knowing that the Mou family would still be dominated by the second wife in the future, at least the stupid Pang family would not be a match for the new wife, but the premise of all this is that the new wife's life is hard enough, It's hard to say if she has something good or bad.
Thinking like this, their eyes were full of pity. What a pity for such a kind and capable woman...
The night did not delay the start of work because of the bustle of the family and the place, but it still fell on time.
Wanxia reluctantly withdrew the last touch of color, and the earth slowly sank into darkness.
Mou Yi was drunk with a lot of old wine, even though most of it was resolved with internal force, he was still a little drunk.As soon as he stepped into the door of Yunqi Courtyard, the old mother who had served him since childhood stepped forward to salute.
The story of Pond's leading people to make a quarrel and being angry instead, including the stories Su Yuan told the children, fell into Mou Yi's ears verbatim, which made him laugh.
The old mother was sick at first, and she was always worried about being the master with the same breasts as her own child, so she resisted and persisted, and now she felt that she could let go, so she said with a smile: "Congratulations to the second master, for marrying such a wonderful person as the second grandma." , presumably there will be a second grandmother to take care of the second master's daily life in the future, she must be careful and thoughtful, old slave... old slave can rest assured to return to his hometown for the elderly."
Mou Yi closed his smile, looked at the crooked body of the old nanny, with rare reluctance in his eyes, and said gratefully: "Thank you for taking care of me for so many years, you can rest assured to take care of the elderly, Mou Qing is by my side, there will be no shortage ruined his future."
The old mammy was even more delighted, saluted again, and then slowly went out.
Mou Yi cleared up his somewhat complicated mood, raised his hand and waved away the two big maids who wanted to come forward to serve him, closed the door of the inner room with his own hands, turned around the screen, and saw the petite and round figure on Xi's bed nodding his head, The hijab embroidered with bright red and gold silk looks like a lotus leaf in the spring breeze.
He stepped forward to hold the golden scales on the bedside and raised his hijab, revealing a pair of big misty eyes and a fair and soft little face.
"Brother Mou, are you back?"
Su Yuan yawned, her mind was a little confused, and she always felt that she seemed to have overlooked something, but she had been tossing around for a day since the morning, and had been the king of the kids for half the afternoon.
A look of amusement flashed across Mou Yi's eyes, he turned around and took the two wine glasses on the table, took a drink of the wine while holding her arm, and then couldn't wait to put this piece of sweet and soft candy into his mouth...
The big red dragon and phoenix candle dutifully illuminates the small Nuannuan room, but there are places where its light cannot reach, such as the big bed that covers the curtain.
The morning at the end of spring always comes very early, the birds who don’t know their names probably caught a few unlucky early-rising bugs, they ate their stomachs full, and happily stood on the roof of the main building of Yunqi Courtyard, singing and singing loudly. Su Yuan in the room covered her ears angrily and complained.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Mou Yi has been practicing martial arts for many years, and he has long formed the habit of starting at five o'clock, but he is newly married today, holding a chubby and warm wife in his arms, so he never thinks about it.No wonder the king is reluctant to go to court early when he has a beauty. It turns out that the beauty town is such a waste of heroism.
He was smiling wryly, when he suddenly heard Su Yuan's childish complaint, he couldn't help laughing.
Su Yuan suddenly felt that the pillow was trembling non-stop, and he became more and more annoyed. He suddenly opened his eyes and realized that he was clinging to Mou Yi like an octopus. Married Facts.
She quickly withdrew her hands and feet, and said hello awkwardly, "Brother Mou, are you awake?"
Mou Yi frowned slightly, and said casually, "Well, it's time to get up, mother is waiting for us to serve tea."
Su Yuan watched nervously, tugged at the lapel of her jacket, and wanted to say something, but Brother Kun's voice sounded outside the door.
"I want to go in. Sister Su promised to bring me something good."
"No, young master, this servant will take you home first, the second master and second mistress will go over to serve tea soon." The nanny persuaded with a good voice.
Brother Kun rarely had a stubborn temper, "No, I want Sister Su to play with me."
The two maids guarding the door were also persuading, "Young master, you can't go in."
Su Yuan could hear clearly in the room, so she quickly jumped out of bed, swiftly moved the books in the dowry box aside, dug out a new set of dresses, and put them on. Hair bun, put a silver hairpin and went out.
Mou Yi didn't wake up until his daughter-in-law ran away without a trace, and the corners of his mouth curled up dumbfounded.Shouldn't a newlywed woman take care of her husband getting up, dressing and washing? Even if she is not so attentive, she should at least call a maid to come in and take care of her.
But inexplicably, his mood became better, and he didn't call the maid, and got up and put on his clothes slowly.
Outside the door, Brother Kun jumped into Su Yuan's arms with cheers, and shouted, "Sister Su, I want to go in to find you, but they won't let me!"
The nanny looked at Su Yuan's expression carefully, and quickly reminded the young master, "Young master, you should call your aunt instead."
Su Yuan didn't care about these things, he held Brother Kun in his arms, and said with a smile: "Brother Kun seems to have weighed a few catties, it seems that these days he has been obediently eating and walking, a good boy should be rewarded, and I will serve tea later time, how about a gift for you?"
"Okay, then let's go quickly! Grandma has been waiting for me for a long time!" Brother Kun's little face flushed with excitement, and he jumped off the ground and was about to drag his aunt away.
Su Yuan quickly pulled him away, covered her face and pretended to be shy, and said, "Brother Kun, will you wait for auntie for a while? Auntie hasn't washed her face yet, so people should laugh at auntie when they see it."
"Pfft!" Hearing these words, the nanny and the two maids couldn't help laughing.
Brother Kun also giggled crisply, and waved his little hand very boldly, "Then auntie, wash your face quickly, I'll wait for you."
"Brother Kun is really kind to Auntie, how about this, Auntie will make you another delicious meal in the afternoon, thank you."
"Great, great!"
Brother Kun clapped his little hands and jumped all over the yard, so happy that the nanny followed behind with a smile on his face.
Taking advantage of this time, Su Yuan quickly washed her face with the water brought by the maidservant, and the other maidservant brought whitening powder and rouge to apply to her.
Su Yuan almost shook her head into waves. She didn't want to wipe the lead powder all over her face, but in the end she couldn't bear the maid's begging for persuasion, so she put some rouge on her lips, which added a bit of joy.
Su Yuan remembered what he had prepared earlier, and asked the maid to come in and take out the two parcels from the dowry box.She had just tidied up here, and Mou Yi also came out of the house in a neat dress, followed by a 40-year-old woman, holding a box in her hand, with a white border faintly showing in the box.
Su Yuan blushed when she figured out what it was, and quickly changed the topic, "Second Master, Brother Kun is still waiting in the courtyard, let's take him to serve tea together?"
"Okay." Mou Yi responded lightly, and went out first.
Brother Kun had been impatient for a long time. When his uncle and aunt came out, he hurried forward and grabbed their hands to complain.
Su Yuan smiled and Mimi listened to him, answering a few words from time to time, Mou Yi looked at the road ahead calmly, but in his ears he refused to miss every word his wife and nephew said.The child's voice is clear and crisp, and the female voice is soft and waxy, which make up this ordinary late spring morning, making him feel so close to happiness for the first time...
Su Yuan was a little surprised, afraid that Brother Kun would feel uncomfortable, so she quickly picked her up to talk.
The nanny was shy and introverted, barely gossip, seeing that there was no outsider in the room, she took an envelope from her bosom and held it to Su Yuan with both hands.
"Miss Su, our second master knew that the servant girl was coming to inquire about some trivial matters, so he asked the servant girl to hand over the letter to the girl."
Su Yuan blushed slightly, wondering if Mou Yi had written a love letter, but she didn't feel like it when she touched the envelope, opened the envelope and took a closer look, and inside were two bank notes, each with a denomination of 500 taels.
Not to mention Su Yuan, even Granny Wu, who was drinking tea and never interjected, was shocked, not to mention Brother Kun's round eyes. Fortunately, she knew the rules, and immediately lowered her head without daring out.
Su Yuan held the bank note in a daze for a long while, feeling joyful and sweet in her heart, she hadn't married into the Mou family yet, and her husband-in-law, who was going to share the bed with her in the future, was protecting her like this, what could make her more excited than this? assured?
However, she has the principles of being a human being. Even if she doesn't have a generous dowry, she still has the confidence to step into the door of the Mou family with her back straight.
Thinking in this way, she sealed the bank note and stuffed it back to the nanny, and said with a smile: "Please tell my sister-in-law to send a message to the second master for me, just say that I have my own dowry, thank you for his kindness. He has already sent what he wanted, and I am very happy."
The nanny was so surprised that she held the envelope foolishly and didn't answer for a long while, then she jumped up suddenly as if she had been electrocuted, hurriedly pulled an autumn-colored package beside her, and respectfully sent it to Su Yuan.
"Girl, our second master still has an explanation. If you don't accept the letter, let the servant give you this package. He also said that you must always accept the same."
Su Yuan blinked, not understanding what Mou Yi was playing. Finally, when he solved it, a piece of thick red silk satin was revealed inside the package, with fine texture and pure color. Large peony flowers were decorated with golden threads. It seemed to be flowing faintly with luster, and she fell in love with it almost immediately.
Granny Wu couldn't help but praise: "This silk is really beautiful!"
The nanny faintly raised her head when she heard this, and said goodbye in a low voice, "If Miss Su has nothing else to do, the servant will leave."
Su Yuan hesitated for a moment, finally kept the silk and satin, then smiled and sent the nanny out.
When she came back, Grandma Wu had already cut the silk and satin with scissors, and was looking for a needle and thread basket to sew. When she saw her coming in, she said, "Go to the next door and invite your Aunt Liu to help. She is the father and mother." Quanfu, who has both mothers and children, is rare and good at embroidery, so let's ask her to help embroider the wedding dress. And we will go to Liu's to buy two pieces of tofu, and we have to arrange four dishes at night, so it's not good to let her go for nothing. Tired..."
Su Yuan leaned on the door frame, hearing Granny Wu's nagging, arranging the arrangements meticulously, she was in a daze for a moment, is she going to get married soon?
I remember that my girlfriends used to pat her round face with hatred, feeling that she would not be able to get married in this life. I didn’t expect that she would become a wife in just two months. Both.
If the girlfriends found out, they would probably lose their big teeth in shock, and then pounce on her and shout what kind of shit luck she had.
It's a pity that she can never go back, and she is destined to stay here to settle down, marry and have children...
"Di la la, di la la!" Suona's short crisp sound was blown all the way from Sanli Village into Wanshi City at noon on this spring day.
The bright red sedan chair carried by eight people, and the handsome groom riding on a tall horse in front of the sedan chair, caused countless passers-by to stop and watch the excitement.
If you think that this is the reason why everyone is curious, you are very wrong.
Everyone was staring at the two young men in new clothes behind the sedan chair who were speechless in shock. They saw that they were jointly carrying a half-new camphor wood box. There are new and old books, but there is not a speck of gold and silver shining through them.
Looking back, there is no more.
there is none left!
That is to say, the newly married daughter-in-law of the Mou family actually only brought a dowry. This is simply the most shabby dowry since the founding of Wanshi City, no, it should be said that since Chilong was founded.
Even the poorest peasant family needs to bring two boxes of Four Seasons clothes and a set of dressing tables and wooden barrels when marrying a girl. The new daughter-in-law of the Mou family is lucky, but for the first time, she only brought a load of dowry into the door. She is stupid after all. It's clear, is there something else to rely on?
With such doubts, the streets and alleys of Wanshi City were like boiling water, and they were noisy.
People who come and go with Mou's family naturally go to Hexi to drink.Those who couldn't get in just sat in the teahouse, talking about foaming.
Someone said: "The new grandmother of the Mou family is said to be a medical girl from a farming family, and she has good medical skills. The Mou family is not short of money, so they shouldn't look down on her just because she doesn't bring a dowry."
Another person also said: "I heard that the Mou family's grandson is a sick child, so it may be that the Mou family married lowly to find someone to take care of the eldest grandson."
At the table next to him, someone smacked his lips unbearably, turning the teacup in his hand like a spinning top. It was obvious that he was holding back his words but hesitating.
Everyone didn't care about whether they knew each other, so they pulled this person to question.
The man looked around for a while, and then whispered with excitement and horror: "I'm afraid you haven't heard of the name of Erye Mou, I have relatives who always go to the capital, but I have heard of it." After a few words, this Mou Erye is a life-killing wife. He has killed two women before. The first one died before entering the house, and the second one was even more pitiful. The family wanted to marry their daughter, but they ran away in fright, and for some reason, they married another wife this time..."
"Ah, so there is such a reason!" Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, and they started discussing with each other.
"No wonder the dignified Earl married a peasant girl."
"Yeah, I said there is a reason for this, otherwise, no matter how wronged I am, I won't be able to marry a peasant girl."
"Speaking of which, this peasant girl is also pitiful, isn't she dying soon?"
"No, maybe I get up tomorrow morning... Well, that's all, maybe this woman is a lucky one."
"This woman's family probably knows the reason. Otherwise, why did she only bring a dowry, maybe she kept all the dowry money for her own use."
Although everyone felt that they wanted to be virtuous and unwilling to speak too harshly, the corners of their eyes and brows were full of strange colors, and their pity was slightly schadenfreude.
Not to mention how the idlers in the streets and alleys of Wanshi City talked about it, but the Mou family was extremely lively here.Mrs. Mou made up her mind to give her son a big deal, but everyone who was friendly sent a post, and there were thirty tables of banquets.
The main courtyard entertains distinguished guests, and several side courtyards entertain female guests and ordinary guests respectively. Although they are busy, they do not appear chaotic.
The Yunqi Courtyard where Mou Yi lived was also brightly lit at the moment, even after noon, the pair of big red dragon and phoenix candles with thick arms on the table were lit, and the bursting of lanterns from time to time made people sitting on the wedding bed Su Yuan woke up a little.
It is said that the bridal sedan chair is carried by everyone, and she also found it extremely interesting to watch the TV drama, but it is a pity that she sat in it and wandered for more than a dozen miles, only then did she truly understand the hard work involved, what a miserable word!
Even though she had finished worshiping and been sent to the bridal chamber for so long, she still felt that she was dangling. If she hadn't remembered that she was a bride today, she would have vomited long ago.
Fortunately, the rules here are worship at noon, banquet in the afternoon, and bridal chamber in the evening.If not, the groom hugged her "exuberantly", but she vomited all about him, maybe she would be sent home right away?
Thinking of this, Su Yuan couldn't help laughing.
Mrs. Pond was bringing in a few female relatives from a family of family friends. Hearing this laughter, she sneered, "Hey, why is the new sister-in-law so happy? That's right, our Mou family is not from an ordinary family. My sister-in-law is from a farm family. I'm afraid I never thought that I would have such a blessing to marry in, so I should laugh a little more."
Although he called sister-in-law several times in these words, anyone who is not deaf can hear them, and there is no sense of respect in them.
Among the female relatives behind her, two of them covered their mouths and laughed, their eyes were full of interest, and they looked like they were watching a good show.
But the other two older women frowned slightly, one of them couldn't bear Su Yuan's embarrassment, and said: "Er Mou is both talented and beautiful, and has a noble character. Whose daughter is afraid to marry?" Let's all rejoice."
Pond curled his lips, but he didn't dare to reply because of the woman's status, so he could only continue to amuse Su Yuan.
"When I married into Mou's family, I only brought 64 loads, and the dowry worth 3000 taels was disliked by others. Now I heard that my sister-in-law brought an extraordinary dowry, which surprised the whole city. I'm very curious, sister-in-law, don't be stingy, where did you hide the dowry, let someone carry it to the yard to dry it, so we can open our eyes."
A young woman pulled a veil to cover her mouth and nose, and echoed with a smile: "That's right, I'm curious too."
On the contrary, the older woman who spoke earlier looked a little unbearable, and wanted to say something, but her sleeve was pulled away by her companion.
Today, it is clear that the Mou family's sisters-in-law are at odds, and they use the excuse to give the new daughter-in-law a bad impression. They are all outsiders. If they help once, it is a favor, but if they help twice, they will end up grudges. After all, this is their family business. Good to meddle.
The elderly woman also knew this truth, she sighed inwardly and shut her mouth.
Su Yuan didn't know these people's small plans, but she also heard that the "brother and sister" who spoke twice did not have any good intentions. If she really felt inferior because of the dowry, it was probably because of Jidui like this, she would not even think about raising her head in the Mou family in the future. Be human.
But she is not. There are a group of girlfriends who believe that "marrying a good husband is not as good as making money by yourself". Even if she can't become a superwoman, she is definitely a new self-reliant woman.
The most important thing is that she has learned several years of child-rearing classics, various diet therapy and treatment methods for minor illnesses, and even the knowledge of prenatal and postnatal care is urgently needed in this time and space, which is enough for her to support herself and be proud of herself.After all, when the dowry is exhausted, no one can take away the ability to settle down.
"The one who is talking is the younger brother and sister. I heard that the younger brother and sister have a heartless and quick-talking temper. Now it seems that it is true." Su Yuan's soft and sweet smile spread through the gap in the hijab, and everyone heard it. Wei Wei was taken aback, whether it was surprise or amazement that she dared to respond.
Su Yuan said again: "My brother and sister are right. I'm not boasting. My dowry is really great. My brother and sister's dowry worth 64 taels will be spent one day, but my dowry is a treasure." , no matter who has learned it, it is enough to settle down. The most important thing is that when life is at stake, no matter how much gold and silver ingots you eat, you can’t survive, but my dowry can snatch people in front of Hades. Now I am married into the Mou family , this treasure is naturally also belonged to the Mou family, no matter how happy the younger siblings are, don’t show it too much, otherwise if you lose a book and a half, you won’t be able to pay for it with any amount of gold and silver.”
After her words fell, no one in the room spoke for a while, and then a young woman couldn't bear it anymore, and burst out laughing, breaking the weird silence.
Heartless city?Quick talk?
At first, I thought that Grandma Mou San’s words would be enough to choke people, but I didn’t think that Grandma Mou Er was not a good person. The two words only pointed out the fact that Grandma Mou San was stupid and mean-spirited. Stepping on her 3000 taels of dowry, and lifting her box of broken books as high as possible, it's really clever without losing the slightest bit of wind and making people unable to grasp it.
The other three women obviously thought of this too, they all lowered their heads and pretended to wipe their sweat, but the corners of their mouths were all raised.
"You, you..." Pond was dizzy with anger, and wanted to yell, but remembering how powerful his second uncle was, he swallowed those words back.
It's a pity that Su Yuan didn't intend to let her go lightly, and the innocent voice came out from under the hijab again, "What's the matter, brother and sister, did I say something wrong? Ah, I'm so innocent, I believe what my brother and sister say What, isn’t your dowry worth 64? Or is it not worth 3000 taels? Could it have been spent long ago? Don’t worry, don’t worry, we will be a family from now on. I will try my best to snatch you back from King Jian."
"You..." Mrs. Pond married into the Mou family. Although she was not welcomed by her parents-in-law, she was not so blocked from speaking.
Seeing that she was about to get angry and curse, she didn't want to run into the yard, but several children, both men and women, ran towards Su Yuan when they entered the house, arguing to see the bride.
Su Yuan likes children the most, and has learned a lot about coaxing children. She is not afraid of children making noise, so she reached out and caught a fat boy who was mischievous and took off the hijab from the corner of her head, and said with a smile: "Oh, what will happen after this?" Where did the big heroes and little beauties come from? How do you know that I just heard a lot of interesting stories, and I am worried about who to tell them to!"
Listen to the story?
The children were all six or seven years old, and when they were very curious, they stopped their hands when they heard this, and asked in chirping, "Really?! You can tell stories, are they good?"
"Of course it sounds good. If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Kun. I have told him many stories." Su Yuan smiled heartily, but she grabbed the naughty boy's hand and refused to let go.
Some children thought of something, and they all became happy, "Ah, it turns out that Brother Kun's story was told by you, and we want to listen to it too!"
"However, I only talk to children who know the rules and know the rules. Are you good children who know the rules and know the rules?"
"Of course it is." Several children hurriedly shouted in unison.
"Okay, then you guys find a seat and sit down. Let me have a few words with this little hero first, okay?"
"it is good."
Although the children were eager to hear the story, they didn't want to be told that they were ignorant of the rules and manners, so they found their seats one after another, waiting eagerly for Su Yuan to speak.
Pond didn't expect Su Yuan to resolve the good show she had painstakingly arranged with a few words, and she was so angry that she almost tore the veil in her hand.
On the other hand, the women on the side frowned, with annoyance hidden in their eyes.Although these children are not their children, they are more or less related. Today, they were pulled by Pond's as tools, and no one could be happy.
Su Yuan didn't know why, so she opened her mouth and said to the naughty boy, "Little hero, tell my sister, do you sweat profusely when you sleep every night? You are usually locked in the room and don't go out to play and bask in the sun?"
The naughty boy scratched the back of his head, thought for a while, and said, "My mother always locks me to study in the house, and doesn't let me go out to play... Well, there is sleep, I don't know, I fell asleep."
He said so, but a young woman next to Mrs. Pond couldn't help it. She took two steps forward and said, "Did Grandma Mou see that the child is uncomfortable? I'm listening to the child's mother." As I said before, this child sleeps very unsteadily and sweats a lot. When I went to see a doctor, it was said that there was a fever in the womb, and it didn’t get better after taking several medicines.”
Su Yuan nodded, thought for a while, and said: "I don't think it's a fever, but the child's body lacks a certain nutrient. I call this nutrient calcium. Please go back and tell the child's mother to cook more for the child on weekdays." Pig drum stick soup, eat some dried shrimps, and don’t restrain the children, just expose to the sun every day, and after a month or two, it will relieve a lot.”
"It's so simple?" The woman couldn't believe it. After all, she heard that when the child's mother went to find the doctor, she paid 50 taels for the consultation fee, and most of the prescriptions were good medicines.Now Su Yuan is only allowed to eat such cheap things as pork bone sticks and dried shrimps, plus basking in the sun, which is really nothing more common.
Su Yuan didn't explain much, and replied: "Since this sister-in-law also said that the prescription is simple, why don't you try it, the effect will be better, even if it doesn't work, there is no harm, is it?"
"Yes, Grandma Mou Er is right." The woman blushed a little, knowing that her questioning just now was a bit impolite, so she pulled the child to salute and thank her.
"On behalf of the child's mother, I would like to thank Second Grandma for her guidance."
"This sister-in-law is polite, but it's just a little effort."
Su Yuan said a few polite words, but the naughty boy couldn't bear it anymore, he pulled his hands away and shouted to listen to the story, Su Yuan was also sitting idle and bored, so he cut off the story meeting.
The women were a little curious at first, but they wanted to take the children away earlier and avoid the muddy waters of Mou's house. They didn't want Su Yuan's story to be really interesting, not to mention the children, even they were deeply attracted.
Pond asked several times to ask everyone to go out, but no one paid any attention. In the end, she was so angry that she flung her sleeves and walked away.
The women looked at each other, knowing that the Mou family would still be dominated by the second wife in the future, at least the stupid Pang family would not be a match for the new wife, but the premise of all this is that the new wife's life is hard enough, It's hard to say if she has something good or bad.
Thinking like this, their eyes were full of pity. What a pity for such a kind and capable woman...
The night did not delay the start of work because of the bustle of the family and the place, but it still fell on time.
Wanxia reluctantly withdrew the last touch of color, and the earth slowly sank into darkness.
Mou Yi was drunk with a lot of old wine, even though most of it was resolved with internal force, he was still a little drunk.As soon as he stepped into the door of Yunqi Courtyard, the old mother who had served him since childhood stepped forward to salute.
The story of Pond's leading people to make a quarrel and being angry instead, including the stories Su Yuan told the children, fell into Mou Yi's ears verbatim, which made him laugh.
The old mother was sick at first, and she was always worried about being the master with the same breasts as her own child, so she resisted and persisted, and now she felt that she could let go, so she said with a smile: "Congratulations to the second master, for marrying such a wonderful person as the second grandma." , presumably there will be a second grandmother to take care of the second master's daily life in the future, she must be careful and thoughtful, old slave... old slave can rest assured to return to his hometown for the elderly."
Mou Yi closed his smile, looked at the crooked body of the old nanny, with rare reluctance in his eyes, and said gratefully: "Thank you for taking care of me for so many years, you can rest assured to take care of the elderly, Mou Qing is by my side, there will be no shortage ruined his future."
The old mammy was even more delighted, saluted again, and then slowly went out.
Mou Yi cleared up his somewhat complicated mood, raised his hand and waved away the two big maids who wanted to come forward to serve him, closed the door of the inner room with his own hands, turned around the screen, and saw the petite and round figure on Xi's bed nodding his head, The hijab embroidered with bright red and gold silk looks like a lotus leaf in the spring breeze.
He stepped forward to hold the golden scales on the bedside and raised his hijab, revealing a pair of big misty eyes and a fair and soft little face.
"Brother Mou, are you back?"
Su Yuan yawned, her mind was a little confused, and she always felt that she seemed to have overlooked something, but she had been tossing around for a day since the morning, and had been the king of the kids for half the afternoon.
A look of amusement flashed across Mou Yi's eyes, he turned around and took the two wine glasses on the table, took a drink of the wine while holding her arm, and then couldn't wait to put this piece of sweet and soft candy into his mouth...
The big red dragon and phoenix candle dutifully illuminates the small Nuannuan room, but there are places where its light cannot reach, such as the big bed that covers the curtain.
The morning at the end of spring always comes very early, the birds who don’t know their names probably caught a few unlucky early-rising bugs, they ate their stomachs full, and happily stood on the roof of the main building of Yunqi Courtyard, singing and singing loudly. Su Yuan in the room covered her ears angrily and complained.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Mou Yi has been practicing martial arts for many years, and he has long formed the habit of starting at five o'clock, but he is newly married today, holding a chubby and warm wife in his arms, so he never thinks about it.No wonder the king is reluctant to go to court early when he has a beauty. It turns out that the beauty town is such a waste of heroism.
He was smiling wryly, when he suddenly heard Su Yuan's childish complaint, he couldn't help laughing.
Su Yuan suddenly felt that the pillow was trembling non-stop, and he became more and more annoyed. He suddenly opened his eyes and realized that he was clinging to Mou Yi like an octopus. Married Facts.
She quickly withdrew her hands and feet, and said hello awkwardly, "Brother Mou, are you awake?"
Mou Yi frowned slightly, and said casually, "Well, it's time to get up, mother is waiting for us to serve tea."
Su Yuan watched nervously, tugged at the lapel of her jacket, and wanted to say something, but Brother Kun's voice sounded outside the door.
"I want to go in. Sister Su promised to bring me something good."
"No, young master, this servant will take you home first, the second master and second mistress will go over to serve tea soon." The nanny persuaded with a good voice.
Brother Kun rarely had a stubborn temper, "No, I want Sister Su to play with me."
The two maids guarding the door were also persuading, "Young master, you can't go in."
Su Yuan could hear clearly in the room, so she quickly jumped out of bed, swiftly moved the books in the dowry box aside, dug out a new set of dresses, and put them on. Hair bun, put a silver hairpin and went out.
Mou Yi didn't wake up until his daughter-in-law ran away without a trace, and the corners of his mouth curled up dumbfounded.Shouldn't a newlywed woman take care of her husband getting up, dressing and washing? Even if she is not so attentive, she should at least call a maid to come in and take care of her.
But inexplicably, his mood became better, and he didn't call the maid, and got up and put on his clothes slowly.
Outside the door, Brother Kun jumped into Su Yuan's arms with cheers, and shouted, "Sister Su, I want to go in to find you, but they won't let me!"
The nanny looked at Su Yuan's expression carefully, and quickly reminded the young master, "Young master, you should call your aunt instead."
Su Yuan didn't care about these things, he held Brother Kun in his arms, and said with a smile: "Brother Kun seems to have weighed a few catties, it seems that these days he has been obediently eating and walking, a good boy should be rewarded, and I will serve tea later time, how about a gift for you?"
"Okay, then let's go quickly! Grandma has been waiting for me for a long time!" Brother Kun's little face flushed with excitement, and he jumped off the ground and was about to drag his aunt away.
Su Yuan quickly pulled him away, covered her face and pretended to be shy, and said, "Brother Kun, will you wait for auntie for a while? Auntie hasn't washed her face yet, so people should laugh at auntie when they see it."
"Pfft!" Hearing these words, the nanny and the two maids couldn't help laughing.
Brother Kun also giggled crisply, and waved his little hand very boldly, "Then auntie, wash your face quickly, I'll wait for you."
"Brother Kun is really kind to Auntie, how about this, Auntie will make you another delicious meal in the afternoon, thank you."
"Great, great!"
Brother Kun clapped his little hands and jumped all over the yard, so happy that the nanny followed behind with a smile on his face.
Taking advantage of this time, Su Yuan quickly washed her face with the water brought by the maidservant, and the other maidservant brought whitening powder and rouge to apply to her.
Su Yuan almost shook her head into waves. She didn't want to wipe the lead powder all over her face, but in the end she couldn't bear the maid's begging for persuasion, so she put some rouge on her lips, which added a bit of joy.
Su Yuan remembered what he had prepared earlier, and asked the maid to come in and take out the two parcels from the dowry box.She had just tidied up here, and Mou Yi also came out of the house in a neat dress, followed by a 40-year-old woman, holding a box in her hand, with a white border faintly showing in the box.
Su Yuan blushed when she figured out what it was, and quickly changed the topic, "Second Master, Brother Kun is still waiting in the courtyard, let's take him to serve tea together?"
"Okay." Mou Yi responded lightly, and went out first.
Brother Kun had been impatient for a long time. When his uncle and aunt came out, he hurried forward and grabbed their hands to complain.
Su Yuan smiled and Mimi listened to him, answering a few words from time to time, Mou Yi looked at the road ahead calmly, but in his ears he refused to miss every word his wife and nephew said.The child's voice is clear and crisp, and the female voice is soft and waxy, which make up this ordinary late spring morning, making him feel so close to happiness for the first time...
