In November, the cold wind was like a knife, and her breath was white. Minglan began to be lazy again, and she was stuck on the warm Kangtou and refused to move, but Cuiping came and told her to go to Shouantang. , Minglan whimpered twice in pain, Dan Ju coaxed her to put on a thick fur coat under the kang, and Minglan stopped her shivering. When I arrived at Shou'antang, I saw the old lady sitting on the kang, her knees covered with a thick blanket of python thread and money, holding a piece of paper in her hand, her expression a little dumbfounded.
Ming Lan immediately picked up her lazy emotions, walked forward, took a warm cup of ginseng tea from Cuimei on the side, slowly placed it on the Kang table, and whispered: "Grandma, what's the matter? ?"
The old lady woke up, her eyes seemed confused, and she passed the piece of paper in her hand: "Early in the morning, the He's family sent this, you can see for yourself."
Minglan put herself on the edge of the hot kang as much as possible, unfolded the letter, and read it carefully--
The letter was written by Mrs. He, and it seemed to be in a hurry. First, he said that the Cao family could not stay in the capital and would soon leave Beijing to return to their place of origin. Then Cao Jinxiu searched for death. After being rescued, he confided. The truth is, when she was a concubine in Liangzhou, she was given safflower soup by the wife of that family, and she was already barren. She didn't say anything because she was afraid of her family being sad.
Now Mrs. He will rush over to find out, and she will come over this afternoon to explain.
Ming Lan slowly put down the letter paper, thinking quickly in her heart, the old lady Sheng slowly leaned on the pillow of the kang head, holding a celadon peach and peach double phoenix heater in her hand: "Ming girl, look at... …How do you say this?"
Ming Lan sat next to the old lady and considered the words: "It doesn't matter what you are beside you, only the two inside. One is that the Cao family is leaving Beijing, and the other is that the Cao family's cousin may not be able to give birth."
The old lady closed her eyes and nodded slowly: "Exactly, in this way, things have changed again."
Cao Jinxiu is infertile, which means that it is difficult for her to find a suitable family to marry. Only widowers who drag children and daughters are almost the same. If it is a well-earned family son, there are also widows who have no children back to their natal families. Remarry, but the Cao family is in its current state. How can a widower of good character be married, so that only the He family can take care of her.
However, if it is a barren concubine, what threat can there be in the main house? Coupled with the fact that the Cao family has to go back to their place of origin, such a concubine is basically a display.
The two grandparents couldn't help thinking of this.
The old lady put down the stove, gently held the ginseng tea, and slowly moved the ginseng slice with the bowl lid: "This time... we can't easily let go. No matter what the He family says, let's put it away first." Ming Lan nodded slowly.
After lunch, the grandparents and grandchildren took a break for a while. At the beginning of the second quarter, Mrs. He hurried over, seeming to be in a hurry, holding warm tea and drinking, Mrs. Sheng Anxious in her heart, but her face remained silent, Ming Lan hid in the back room as usual, listening carefully through the curtain.
After a few words of greeting, Mrs. Sheng said: "Take a good breath before talking, which one will catch you behind?"
Mrs. He stared: "Which one? It's not my little friend! This time he is offended for your beloved little girl, relatives, aunts, and relatives! He's been ruthless!"
"Don't say a word and hide a sentence, hurry up." As soon as I said not to urge, I will urge it now.
Old Mrs. He put down the tea bowl, and went along, facing Mrs. Sheng, slowly said: "I have always pityed my daughter-in-law's youthful widowhood, and she was sick and sick. Over the years, I have rarely been harsh to her. This time the Cao’s family was in trouble, and I didn’t force her too much, I just wanted to slowly dispel the thoughts. Who knows, this time it was my filial grandson who gave up! After he returned from your house, I went to the study to find his grandfather in private. My old man only likes to dance literature and ink, and he has never been too lazy to take care of the inner house. This time, Brother Hong explained all the ins and outs of the matter, and also begged his grandfather to go to the office of Yu Si Yamen for the book and expel Cao’s family. Out of the capital!"
The old lady Rao Sheng has seen a lot of knowledge, and was shocked, she was shocked for a long time before she calmed down: "What's this...How many filial children Hong brother! How can I hide his mother..."
Mrs. He said that her mouth was dry, and she drank a big sip of tea before she said: "It's more than that! A few days ago, a Siyamen sent a post after checking and ordering Cao's family to return to their hometown next month, otherwise the crime will be increased by one. Wait! Mrs. Cao’s family cried and begged, but all the official documents of the yamen were posted. What can I do! My daughter-in-law didn’t think about tea and rice for a few days, but went to beg the old man. The old man prevented me and Hongwen until now. Nowadays, seeing my daughter-in-law still not knowing to repent, I yelled at her by pointing at her nose, and said directly, "You are my family member, not Cao! The Cao family is corrupt and perverted, and the sin is deserved. Just think of relatives’ affection and help. They are still kicking their noses on their faces. The He's family who is in trouble in the town can't be peaceful. This kind of thing that doesn't know good or bad should have been expelled long ago! If you really care about Cao's family, you can leave a letter with you and go to Cao's family. , My daughter-in-law fainted at the time, and she didn't dare to say a word after waking up!"
Ming Lan looked down at her hands in the back room. Well, she should be worried about Mother He’s body, but she still felt very happy. Every time she looked at Mother He’s crying and indecisive face of the Virgin, she was always accurate.
Mrs. Sheng was actually very comfortable in her heart, but she couldn't applaud her loudly, so she whispered a few words and expressed her concern about He's mother's health.
Mrs. He put down the tea bowl and sighed: "Fortunately, my daughter-in-law didn’t know it. If she knew that Cao’s family was driven out, it was Hong’s idea, otherwise I’m afraid it’s really going to do something good or bad; in the next few days, Cao The house was cleaned up in a mess, and I was still crying poor at every turn. I looked at the plague **** to be sent away, so I gave them some money so that they could buy some land; who knows, something went wrong yesterday!"
When Mrs. He remembered this incident, her scalp became numb, but she really felt sorry for her grandson, and she simply said: "The Cao family is going to leave. The cousin girl came in, but Brother Hong refused. Seeing that my daughter-in-law was half-dead and alive, I came up with an idea to ask them to go to Zhuangzi outside the city to rest for a few days before returning! The Cao family couldn’t find anyone, and there was nothing to do. .... Yesterday, the Cao family suddenly came to call the door, saying that her girl was looking for death. After being rescued from Liang, she vomited true feelings, saying that she was barren, and if Hong brother could not pity her, she would only have a dead end. I was shocked, and while reporting to Brother Hong, I went to the Cao family to personally get the pulse of the Cao family girl......"
"How?" The old lady Sheng was nervous, her throat tightening.
Mrs. He shook her head, her expression seemed pity, but her tone was quite certain: "I checked carefully, and it is indeed impossible to give birth. It is said that during the year she was a concubine, the wife of that family spent two days in three days. Give her safflower soup, not to mention that the medicine is overbearing and vicious, and she had a baby during the period, so she broke her body in life!"
Ming Lan still trusts Mrs. He’s medical skills and character. With a moment of relaxation, she feels an unspeakable sourness, a little sad, and some sighs. Until now, Ming Lan understands Cao Jinxiu. The deep despair in his eyes.
The old lady Sheng was also silent for a long time without words. Mrs. He sighed and continued: "Auntie Cao's wife now knows the details of her daughter, and she fainted from crying. Later, Brother Hong arrived and knew this. After the incident, I stood beside me, thinking for a long time, and agreed to let the Cao family girl in."
The old lady Sheng was not angry this time, like a damp gunpowder, her tone was soft and helpless: "...This is also impossible, it's hard for Brother Hong." Old lady He interrupted: "It's something. Not over yet!"
The old lady Sheng puzzled.
Lao Mrs. He picked up the cooled tea and wanted to drink, and immediately asked Mrs. Sheng to take it away, and asked the maid to change into warm tea. Mrs. He lifted the tea bowl to moisturize her lips, and said: "Brother Hong said, he She is willing to take care of the girl, and she will have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of her life, but there is a condition... that is, from then on, helping to rescue urgently, but not a serious relative, Cao's aunt was so angry, she slapped Brother Hong at that time Slap!"
Ms. Sheng's eyes lit up, she straightened her back and stretched her brows: "Brother Hong, dare you say it!"
He Hongwen meant that he probably just didn’t want his wife to have a difficult aunt on his head, and it would be difficult to deal with whether he was between his wives and concubines or was in control of the family affairs; but in Mrs. He’s ears, It has another meaning.
Old Mrs. He said solemnly: "This is ruthless, I think it's good. A concubine who can't give birth must have a heart toward her natal family. When the time comes, the Cao family will come to put on the relatives' score. If you want money in the autumn wind, can He’s family still have a peaceful day? Regardless of who Hong brother will marry in the future, this matter must be clarified. You can’t pity for a moment and bury it at home. I immediately called Hong brother in black and white. Write down everything before and after, when will the Cao family sign and print it, and when will the girl enter the He Mansion!"
After the long speech was finished, the grandparents and grandchildren both inside and outside the room groaned together. Once this note was established, there was basically no worries about the future. The Cao family’s troubles were actually not difficult to solve.
Mrs. He saw that Mrs. Sheng had obviously loosened her attitude, and she was not in a hurry to make a reply. After chatting for a while, she got up and said goodbye. Minglan closed the curtain and slowly came out from the back room to her grandmother. By the side of the Kang, the grandfather and grandson were relatively speechless for a while. After a long time, the old lady sighed: "Brother Hong..." I couldn't say anything, and then said to Minglan, "Ming, what do you say? "
"...Granddaughter doesn't know, what did grandmother say?" Minglan held the old lady's arm.
Looking at Minglan’s bright face, the old lady only felt that no kid was worthy of her girl. After thinking about it, she cautiously said: "This is the best situation."
Ming Lan’s mind turned many pictures in a flash, Hua Lan's sad eyes were forbearing, Mo Lan's disguise of forced laughter, Hai's watching Yang Hao take a decoction every time he went to bed with relief, Wang's for so many years Toss, so much so that the fight between their brothers and sisters... Then, she nodded slowly.
The advantage of the He family is not how rich and honorable, but the combination of conditions is very balanced and harmonious, and then the rich and honorable people, if there is a picky mother-in-law, the left and right are difficult concubines, plus a husband who may not necessarily help with iron Son-in-law, that is, the Heavenly Palace of the Jade Emperor can't live a good life, and the He family...
Over the years, Mother He’s temperamental and easy to talk, and the sickly basically incapable of action, the new wife can be a family right after she marries in. He’s big and second rooms have better conditions and will not come to trouble. He Hongwen has The rich family property can make a lot of money by self-reliance, carefree, responsible, will hurt others, clearly set out to Minglan, when the old lady He leaves Beijing, it is almost a single pass, and then the courtyard gate will be closed. Once the little days are over, the new wife can make her own ideas.
No need to look at the face of the mother-in-law, no need to deal with complicated relatives in all directions, financial independence, independent life, such good things, where to find! And after accepting this infertile Cao Jinxiu, He's mother probably wouldn't be embarrassed to say anything in front of Minglan in the future; to say it more ugly, He's mother didn't have many days to live.
Under these kinds of ‘advantages’, Cao Jinxiu’s existence seems to be nothing; maybe... in the future, when He Hongwen goes out to make money, she can pull on the frowning Cao Jinxiu and play the leaf card together? Maybe winning two will help her forget her previous misfortunes, Amen!
A few times, Minglan suspected that she was the opposite of Rulan's character. Every time she was happy, Rulan would be unlucky.
On this day, Minglan thought that in a few days, the weather would get colder and thicker ice would form on the surface of the water, so after asking the old lady and Wang for peace, she carried a fishing rod and fish basket. With Kong Wu’s powerful little peach, I went to the small pond to fish; it was about cold, and the fish in the water were dumbfounded. Minglan easily caught seven or eight fatty fish, and before leaving the pool, she smiled and faced the water. Said: "Have a good time during the winter vacation, and I will look for you again in spring."
Bring the fish to the kitchen and designate three very large ones to be made into crock-pot watercress, two special ones into tomato sauce fish fillets, and the remaining ones are all sliced and grilled into green onion, pepper and salt fish. The fish head was boiled into **** fish soup; Xiaotao grinned and stuffed 30 big dollars to Aunt Ann. She continued to say that she had worked hard. She refused for a long time with a smile on her face, and then patted her **** to ensure the cooking quality.
At this moment, the little magpie in Rulan's house suddenly ran in. In such a cold day, she was sweating profusely. When she saw Minglan, she asked Minglan in a panic. Go to Tao Ranju.
At this moment, Aunt An is about to kill the fish. Ming Lan wants to check if there is any fish fat or roe in the fish's belly this time. He frowns and said: "Why are you here? Want to embroider? Go back and say, I'm making fish soup with her, fish can improve eyesight, and embroidering after eating fish is even better!"
The little magpie almost burst into tears, repeatedly saying no, but couldn't tell why. Minglan saw that it was wrong, so she followed out. For that matter, Minglan would go back to her house and get incense. Yizi washed away the fishy smell from her body and changed to clean clothes before going to Tao Ran Hall.
I opened the thick nylon and cotton curtains and saw that there was not a maid in the house, just like Lan lying on the table and crying. She didn't cry anymore, holding a kerchief and sobbing, she saw Ming Lan When he came, he immediately rushed forward and caught Ming Lan and burst into tears; Ming Lan was startled, first pressed Rulan to the Kang table, and then hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with the fifth sister? You cry like this? You slowly talk to your sister...Little magpie, hurry up and wash your face with your girl in a pot of hot water!"
The little magpie relaxed a little, and went out in response; Rulan wiped her crying red nose, and then sobbed and talked about it. It turned out that Shi Cai Hualan suddenly came to Shengfu and asked the old lady to talk to Wang. He also called her up, saying that he wanted to marry her to Gu Tingye!
That cousin who aspires to marry a daughter-in-law is likely to become his own brother-in-law? Minglan opened her mouth wide. I don't know. Ancient times are so wonderful. No matter how rich her imagination is, she can't keep up with the changes in this world.
