"On a great day, why did you lose such a big temper? Henson is also big. If you always beat up the people in his room, his face will be hard. " His adult changed his casual clothes and leaned against the kang to talk to his wife.
Princess Pinning wore a bean green silk brocade dress and drank ginseng soup with a small bowl of exquisite soup and tea. When she heard this, her face sank: "this ugly thing, his grandfather's birthday, does not help in common affairs, but he can learn more from his uncles and elders with the opportunity." But he is good, hollowing out the sneaky tricks of scheming and thinking. Well, when people refuse to pay attention to him, he loses his mind all day. When seeing off the guests, he looked ugly and said that he was a debt collector. "
Qi Huangong also sighed: "Don't be angry, you sent it far away, and no one around knows about it;" Ah ... Whether a scholar or not, girls are more measured; This matter is not over yet. "
"What are you sighing about?" Princess Pinning asked.
Qi Huangong looked up at the moire carved on the top beam and said lightly, "You and I only have one son. He has been sensible and obedient since childhood, and has made progress in reading; When he was seven or eight years old, he went out to play cricket with lord protector's youngest son. When he came back, he told you to tie him up and beat him up. I went to see him at night, but he propped himself up to write the homework given by her husband. "
The princess was silent, and the king of Qi added, "Henson never asked us to worry about anything since he was a child. Only this time, he didn't get what you wanted. Speaking of which, a few years ago, I saw that he was very interested in Sheng Xiong's little girl. At that time, I didn't find it. I just thought he had never seen any girls and had wishful thinking about bringing up his children. It will be fine in a few years. Ah, but now, I can see that he really likes that girl ... "
Princess Pingning's face changed a few times, and she started to laugh: "Everyone says that strict father is a loving mother, but everyone in our family has lost it. I am a cruel mother and you are a compassionate father. But are you willing to let your son marry a daughter-in-law of a five-product official? "
His adult stopped talking. Princess Pinning peeked at her husband's face and found his eyelids drooping. Then she said slowly, "Although your nephew is weak, he is still alive and well. I can't curse his son's premature death in order to inherit the title, but in this way, we have to think about the future of Yokozuna! I've been in the palace for a long time, and your majesty still belongs to the three princes, but I'm sorry that the three kings have no heirs. Now the actions of the Sixth Princess are also watched in the palace, and the holy family said nothing. Isn't that acquiescence? Princess Jiacheng is good-looking and has a good temper. Where can I find such a good marriage? "
Qi Guogong sighed again and said that he was never an opponent of the princess in terms of eloquence: "I only hope Henger can turn the corner."
Princess Pinning looked at her husband's charitable face and thought that her son was kneeling in front of her, crying and pleading. She was a little soft-hearted. The couple sat for a while and only heard Princess Pinning stir the porcelain in the cup with a spoon. After a while, Princess Pinning's face relaxed. She relaxed her tone and said, "I feel sorry for my son, too ... If he really likes it, he might as well wait for Princess Pinning to come through the door." But she's an illegitimate daughter, and she can still be ... "
Words haven't say that finish, his adult seems to be choked by saliva, kept coughing. He waved his hand again and again and said, "Don't, don't, don't, don't move this idea! ... brother sheng himself didn't say that big brother had a bright future. He made only two preludes in the holy land, but was praised once by the holy land. Brother Sheng is a crafty man. Look at his marriage of one son and one daughter. He ascended the throne on the clean stream. Is he willing to marry his daughter at will? Will you see me in officialdom in the future? Moreover, he told me that his little daughter was raised by an old lady since childhood, and you know better than me who his old lady is. "
Wang Youzi of Pingning County said unconvinced, "This is just an ordinary girl. What's the big deal? "
Qi Huangong gave his wife a white look: "Let me say one more thing. You should not be flattered these days. If Brother Sheng really wants his daughter to be a concubine, why must he be a brother? There are many princes and nobles in the capital and land. If he can really give up face and send his daughter away, maybe he can get a sidekick! "
Princess Pinning remembered the scene when she saw Ming Lan today, and even she couldn't help but look twice. It's not difficult to mix a side princess like this. Thinking about thinking, she suddenly gave a light smile. Lord Qi wondered, "What's the matter?"
Princess Pingning gently put down her bowl and said with a smile, "I laughed at your father and son. Henson just came to me and scolded me a lot, but I was involved." At that time, I also explained that Lan was not as good as my concubine. He repeatedly said no in panic, which shows that Lan is a strong-willed temper and almost knelt down in front of the broken porcelain pieces on the ground. "
Master Qi snorted in his nose: "That's natural. How determined the old lady of Shengjia is."
The princess also sighed: "Speaking of the three sisters, that child is the most eye-catching, clever and sensible, and looks outstanding. I also like the way she obeys her grandmother and mother-in-law. " Unfortunately, there is no fate. "
After a while, Qi Huangong suddenly remembered something and turned to his wife and said, "So you are interested in Six Kings. What does Princess Rong want to do? Her eldest brother came to see us several times. "
When she mentioned this, Princess Pinning trembled with anger, and a pair of phoenix-shaped gold bracelets inlaid with gems jingled on her wrist: "Bah! Eight generations of ancestors were domestic slaves of masons, but with their young age, good looks and happy family, they dared to come to our hometown! Spring and Autumn Dream! Now that the holy family is old, she has never given birth to a man, and her good days are numbered! "
Qi Huangong pondered for a while, then stopped and said, "It doesn't matter, but you can't go too far. Just put the blame on princess Liu. You pretend to be embarrassed and let the two families fight for it themselves. " This will not offend people, but also let Princess Liu know that we are not in a hurry, so at least take some shelves out, otherwise Henger will lift her head in front of the princess in the future; Keep it a secret about Henson and Sheng's daughter. "
Princess Pinning smiled and said, "Suit yourself."
……
On that day, when Ming Lan returned home from Houfu, Xiangyang, he slept in Shouantang that night and told the story of Qi Heng exactly. By the way, she made it clear. The old lady held her little granddaughter and said nothing but a long sigh. Grandparents and grandchildren fell asleep with their eyes open. In the dead of night, Ming Lan was half asleep and half awake. Suddenly, she heard the old lady say softly, "You are a smart child. You know there is a dead end ahead, so you won't come again."
Ming Lan felt sleepy and tired. She felt her eyes moist. She put her head on her grandmother's arm and let the cloth suck away all the weakness and hesitation. She told herself that when she woke up, she would still have a good life and be happy.
On the second day of the twelfth lunar month, Wang invited the owner of Tianyi Pavilion to sew clothes for his children. Changbai didn't look up, but picked a few black colors. Changfeng picked the most expensive and elegant material as usual, and Changdong only dared to pick the most humble one until the tailor arrived at the three sisters. ...
"When is this? Even the maids put on new winter clothes. We are just making new clothes now. " Moran casually turned over the cloth bag, which was meaningful.
Juran was extremely alert and immediately said, "You don't make new clothes once a year. When did you lose your usual clothes in the four seasons? You just moved to Beijing and your mother is very busy. "
Mo Ran covered her mouth and smiled gently: "Hey, I didn't say anything, sister, what's the hurry?" ..... But, as I said, mom is so tired, why not ask someone to help with the housework so that she can save herself and not delay things? "
Wang has been so busy these days that he has to go to social parties to prepare for his marriage. It is inevitable that there are some omissions in housework. Lin Zhixiao's aunt took the opportunity to share some, thinking it was feasible, but Wang refused anyway.
Knowing Moran's plan, Rulan sneered, "You'd better calculate less. You will be grateful to be the ordinary mother of your young lady and your wife. " Moran looked worried: "Sister, this is different. I'm just worried about my wife's health. As a child, I worry about family affairs. What is' calculation'? Sister Liu, what do you say? "
As soon as the gun turned, it turned back to Ming Lan, and Juran stared at Ming Lan; Ming Lan has a terrible headache. This is the problem with The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. No matter what happens to those two people, she is always indispensable.
Ming Lan pressed his temples and sighed, "Tianyi Pavilion is genuine and exquisite in needlework, which is second to none in Beijing. As business is booming, people who make new clothes at the end of each year order them in September. We are lucky to do it now, because we came to Beijing late. The new clothes of the maids are all driven out by needle and thread, and it is also because the wife is careful. She wants our eldest brother to get married and let us shine in front of our new sister-in-law, so she won't give in to ordinary needle and thread. "
Moran's face fell at once: "It's not just that. Why is everything in such a hurry? " ? Why not think about the future? "Ming Lan smiled and said," then? There will be new sisters-in-law in the future. "
Moran is biting her silver fangs, and everyone in the room praises Liu girl as a kind person who seldom gets angry with others, but if she gets serious, she will never be able to control her words.
Rulan opened her eyes wide, took Ming Lan's hand and said, "Sister is right. Come on, come on, I have a lot of materials here. You choose! "
As the wedding day approaches, the dowry of Hai family is transported to Fu Sheng at a flowing price. Furniture, including beds, tables, chairs and screens, has a beautiful red color. There are dozens of boxes of materials, all kinds of furnishings and decorations, hundreds of acres of fields and I don't know how many shops he has married. Ming Lan just looked dumbfounded.
"... the ancients said that ten miles of red makeup is to prepare all the money and clothes that a girl needs all her life. What kind of washbasin is the shroud? The old lady is like this. "Mrs. Fang blushed and said with great face.
Ming Lan stammered, "Why do you want so much dowry? Is this necessary? "
The housekeeper nodded sharply: "A girl who is a daughter-in-law will be three inches shorter. If her dowry is rich, she can stand up straight, because she eats, drinks and chews at home, not by her husband's family. "
Ming Lan snapped his fingers and calculated, saying, "Don't mention supporting a sister-in-law, even a big brother and several concubines can support it together; It is said that the sea home is clean. Well, in this case, cleanliness and poverty are not the same word. "
Mrs. Fang's face twitched a few times.
It's nothing for an unmarried girl to attend such a wedding. One is that she can't top the groom's wine, and the other is that she can't make trouble in the bridal chamber. It was not until the next day that Sancai clearly saw the new sister-in-law, kowtowed to the old lady, and went to the first room to see her in-laws.
Hai Tou wears a cup embossed with red brocade, a skirt with bat thread floating on it, and a tired poly-silk golden phoenix on her head. When she bowed to Wang Yingying, the nine gold bracelets on her wrist didn't ring.
Ming Lan sighed: Good technology!
When she looked up slightly, Ming Lan looked at her carefully and saw that she had a long face and slender eyebrows. Although she was not as beautiful as Hualan and Yuner, she was better than Gao Hua. In elegant terms, she said' Tsinghua's poems are in her belly'. Ming Lan saw the young couple's actions, and Changbai was quite protective of the bride, so she knew that her brother was very satisfied with her sister-in-law.
However, every flower entered every eye, and Wang was somewhat dissatisfied. He thinks that his son's appearance, even if he doesn't deserve the bright moon, is at least the history of Qiang people, who took the tea offered by his wife. Wang Yi gave a red envelope with a very noble expression. Seeing Shengji's eyes, he took off a white jade bracelet made of sheep fat and put it on the sea, symbolizing a happy reunion.
Sheng Jiqing cleared his throat and encouraged his son and daughter-in-law to say something about "Qi Mei spreading branches and leaves". Ming Lan remembered that when Uncle Sheng Jia said this to Chang Wu and the Cloud, the Cloud was too ashamed to lift its head, but now the sister-in-law of Hai Jia is generous, with only two faint blushes on her face, and even the servant girl who accompanied him is dignified and polite.
Ming gave Wang a pity look, and she suddenly had a hunch that this sister-in-law was not fuel-efficient.
After giving gifts to parents, it is three sisters and two younger brothers who give gifts to their brothers and sisters. Hayes prepared five exquisite carved thick brocade wallets, two gourd-shaped, azurite and indigo, three lotus-shaped, silver red, lotus root and rose purple; According to the order of teeth, Ming Lan is the penultimate admirer, so there is nothing to choose from.
A few days later, Ming Lan's premonition came true.
Hai's boudoir training was very successful and he was respectful to Wang. She said nothing this morning. From the morning when she opened her eyes to the evening when Changbai came home, she was waiting for the king. When Wang was eating, she stood and served food. She drank hot and cold tea first, and Wang washed his face. She always smiles and doesn't want to be tired. Instead of complaining, she smiled and laughed.
Moran tried to pick a few words, but she couldn't find them. For example, Moran tried to put on the airs of her sister-in-law, but she was coaxed back again and again. Ming Lan was horrified: "Is it necessary for a daughter-in-law to do this?" Is elder sister like this at her husband's house? "
Moran rulan immediately thought of herself and couldn't help sighing.
Even Wang, who deliberately wanted to give his daughter-in-law an open hand, couldn't find anything wrong at all. Sometimes he makes trouble and says something. Hayes also accepted it sincerely, thanking Wang for his advice with gratitude. His sincere expression and obedient attitude are either completely from the heart or the best actress.
"Silly boy, who likes to bear hardships? However, she can do this. " Old lady Sheng walked over to talk on the kang with her little granddaughter in her arms.
In fact, Wang soon understood his fearfulness. After several days of blessing, Yi Sheng couldn't help feeling a little sour. Although he didn't say it directly, he meant how you served my old mother in those days. Now that her mother-in-law is served by her daughter-in-law, he is at ease. Not only that, but even the elderly mother-in-law in the house couldn't help secretly mocking the king.
In fact, Wang is also very guilty. She lived with her uncle and aunt until she was a teenager, and then she got married without living with her mother for two years. Her uncle and aunt are very kind to her because they have no daughters. Mother felt guilty and never strictly restrained her; After the old lady married the Sheng family, she lost her mother-in-law's airs and has been on the rampage until now.
Now there is a living contrast model around her, and she is really upset. Finally, on New Year's Eve, the Sheng family got together for dinner. The old lady looked at the busy sea, smiled at Wang and said slowly, "You are luckier than me. You are a daughter-in-law. "
This was so profound that Wang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
As soon as the New Year passed, Wang suggested that Hai should not work with him, but Hai pretended not to understand. Wang got it for a few days, changed the hint to express, but Hai refused to accept it, saying it was against the rules and she dared not be unfilial. Wang almost vomited blood. Recently, with the help of Aunt Lin, she came to Wang's residence. Almost her mother-in-law made a preface to her daughter-in-law, which became more and more enjoyable.
Finally, Wang made a cruel decision, insisting that Hai would not accompany her and let her serve in Shouantang. Hai gave the old lady half of her filial piety, and Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The old lady naturally won't criticize her granddaughter-in-law. She often asks Hai to have a rest, or plays chess with her, or gets together with her mother and Ru Lan to play cards. After winning hai's money many times, I immediately felt that this new eldest sister-in-law was kind and generous. Although Hai has read many poems since childhood, there is nothing bitter, and her brother-in-law and sister-in-law are also easy-going, open-minded and friendly.
Longlou also secretly told me that since Hayes took over some housework, Aunt Xiang and his life had been much better, and there was no delay every month, and clothes and snacks were the best.
"Sister-in-law, weren't you so filial to your wife when you first came? Or a new wife has to do it. " Ming Lan pretended that the children were not sensible and tried to ask Hayes.
"Your big brother asked me to do this." Hai whispered that she had been together for almost two months, knowing that she was gentle and lovely, not a gossip, nor did she come out of the king's stomach, so she spoke casually, like Lan Moran, and she was quite harmonious with her aunt.
"He said it didn't take me half a month to get through." Hayes blinked naughtily.
The author has something to say: Li Taihou, the mother of Emperor Wanli, comes from a stonemason's family.
