At the end of summer and autumn, the north is no better than the south. The weather is getting dry and cold. Shengfu inevitably cooks some sweet soup to moisturize the lungs and relieve coughs. Minglan has been sick for most of the time since he came here. Weak, often dry cough and wheezing, the doctor can not prescribe some nourishing medicine, but Minglan hates the taste of Chinese medicine the most. She is eagerly missing Chuanbei Loquat Dew and Kechuanning. The more she thinks about it, the more she resists Chinese medicine. The bowl was about to spit out half of the bowl, sick and crooked all day, and couldn't lift a little bit of strength. Minglan, who had a strong body and also practiced self-defense fighting, was really out of breath.
Sheng Hong and the Wang clan deliberated again and again and asked about Yuan Wenshao’s character and talents, and finally decided on him. After the gift of appreciating the color, the eight characters of Hualan’s birthday were given to the famous gift, Wang’s The idea is very magical. I actually invited a Taoist monk and a worthy Taoist to join the Bazi respectively. This monk said that the two sides have been in harmony for a hundred years. The Wang family was relieved. Sheng Hong looked at the Wang family room. On the incense table in the middle, a whisk was placed on the left and a wooden fish was standing on the right. He couldn't help but smile: "Whether my wife believes in Buddhism or believes in Buddhism or believes in Buddhism? I also say a certain number, aiming at the worship side to be more effective."
Wang knew that her husband was teasing himself: "I will worship whatever works. As long as Huaer is good, let me worship the wall and the grass."
Sheng Hong's expression constricted: "I know that you are a motherly heart. You are the most kind. Recently, I watched Ming'er is not good, so you should pay more attention. If you cough like this, don't give a small life."
Wang said: "Yesterday I received a letter from Beijing, the Boss Zhongqin will come to make a small appointment in the next few days. Seeing that I was so busy, Huaer took the Ming girl's affairs by himself."
Sheng Hong shook his head: "Hua'er, what a child knows, you should be more reliable by yourself."
Wang said with a smile: "Look at what the master said, where is the girl Hua is a child? If everything goes well, you will be married either at the end of next year or at the beginning of the next year. If you want to serve your in-laws in the future, you should also learn She has taken care of people; these days, she has given her own portion of Sydney soup and almond soup to Ming girl, and she stares at Ming girl every day to take medicine. If she vomits half a bowl, she needs to add another bowl. Ming girl is scared. People dare not vomit medicine anymore."
Sheng Hong felt relieved and nodded again and again: "Okay, it should be like this among the sisters. Huaer has the style of a elder sister, very good."
Ms. Hualan is a strictly enforceable person in charge, lacking warmth and more than dignity. When Minglan shows a little bit of reluctance to take medicine, she can’t wait to roll up her sleeves and give the medicine by herself. Ming Lan was shocked. Sweat all over, more than half healed from illness. Hualan caught her kicking the shuttlecock every day. Ming Lan is like a prisoner being escorted. Under Hua Lan’s supervision, standing in the yard kicking the shuttlecock one to ten times, thirty kicks a day, five every three days, Miss Hua Lan actually I also took a booklet to make Minglan's exercise log, and he looked like a jailer every day and hooked it up.
Hua Lan is a big sister-like girl with a elder sister complex in her heart. Unfortunately, her compatriots’ younger siblings can’t meet her needs. Changbai has a mature and safe temperament. Hua Lan should not be trained by him to burn incense. Rulan is self-willed and unruly, Hualansu is at odds with her, and she will say nothing about her, and Wang is protecting her, and she can’t really punish Rulan; and the two of Aunt Lin’s she disdains. Interrupted, Changdong is too young, so she has never had a chance to play the big sister's score.
Ming Lan has a good temper and a good temper. She can do whatever she wants. She will not swear if she says a few words. She will only look at you timidly. Shui Lingling’s big eyes flicker and occasionally she feels a little dazed. Hualan was very satisfied with this little sister, and almost liked it more than her own sister.
Zhongqin Bofu moved very fast, and it didn’t take long to come to Xiaoding, because Yuan Wenshao was really young. They pointed out that they could get married in the middle of next year. Sheng Hong took out the essays used in the imperial examinations and wrote I don’t know if people can understand some of Yunshan’s misty excuses in the letter. It probably means that the daughter is still young and cannot bear to marry early. The words sincerely express the love of fathers and daughters. The Yuan family immediately added a lot of dowry. He also invited a courtesy officer from Hongshe Temple to hire him. Sheng Honglizi made a lot of face, and he added some dowry, and set the wedding date in May next year. Both of them were very satisfied.
After that, Hua Lan was locked in her boudoir embroidered dowry to gain her temper. Ming Lan was relieved. She has accumulated to kick 65 shuttlecocks every day. She kicked her leg cramps, and the guard was locked up. Now, she can also return to the life of a piglet who eats, sleeps, and sleeps. Of course, she will be harassed by Rulan from time to time.
The weather is gradually turning cold, spring, summer and autumn are all okay. This winter, the difference in climate between the north and the south is immediately apparent. Every house has a ground dragon, various colors of soil, kang, brick, and exquisite wood. Kang-it is a bedding that combines a wide and comfortable bed with a Kang bed. Ming Lan was originally from the South. I never knew that there was such a warm and comfortable Kang bed in the ancient north. It is estimated to be the credit of kicking the shuttlecock. The weather is so cold that Minglan didn't catch a cold and got sick. However, others fell ill.
After all, Mrs. Sheng is getting older and she migrated too far from north to south. She is somewhat unaccustomed to the water and soil. She also started to cough after the fall. She has always been majestic. The maid in the house dare not force her to take medicine and kick the shuttlecock, so The root of the disease has not been cut off. As soon as winter entered, there was a low-grade fever from time to time. On this day, the whole body was suddenly hot and almost passed out. The doctor came and said that it was very dangerous. The elderly are most afraid of this ferocious cold. I'm afraid I'm going to go over. This time, Sheng Hong and his wife are terrified.
If the old lady Sheng is gone, Sheng Hong will have to worry about it, and Hua Lan will have to keep her filial piety. Yuan Wenshao is already twenty. How can you wait? Sheng Hong and his wife immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, so they worked together. Working together, taking turns to take care of Mrs. Sheng day and night, every prescription must be carefully scrutinized, every bowl of medicine must be tasted, and he almost fell ill when he was tired. However, the appearance of this dutiful son and virtuous wife attracted the compliments of all the officials, eunuchs and gentry in Dengzhou.
A few days later, Mrs. Sheng finally relieved her fever and relieved her anger. She was alive. Sheng Hong and his wife didn't dare to relax, and tightly sent the various nourishing medicines in the warehouse to Shou'an Tang. For Minglan, no matter how expensive the tonic medicine is, it is also a traditional Chinese medicine. The taste is not that good. I can’t help but sympathize with the old lady Sheng in secret. After two days of sympathy, there was a message from Shou’antang that it was the year of the old lady. Old lonely, wanting to raise a girl by his side, chatting out of desertedness.
As soon as the news came out, several families were happy and some were sad, let's talk about the happy ones first.
"Why did my mother ask me to go? They say that the old lady is surly, cold tempered, and can't say a few words throughout the year. The house is very rudimentary and there is nothing good. Besides, the old lady never waits to see you, so I don't It's not fun to ask yourself." Molan was nestled in a quilt on the kang, wearing a chestnut-colored squirrel fur coat with gold, and holding a horizontal gold gourd cloisonné enamel hand stove in her arms. She was young. Qingli and elegant that has been released.
Aunt Lin looked at her daughter, both proud and worried: "Good boy, how can I be willing to suffer for you, but we have to plan for the future. You have seen your Hualan sister preparing to get married. What a beauty! Waiting for a few years, you'll be ready for it, I don’t know what it is like?"
"What's the situation?" Mo Lan owed his body, and the tone was still so gentle, "Mummo will talk about what he was born out of a concubine. My father has said that he will never wrong me in the future. He will treat his big sister like this, and will Treating me like this, I have my own beautiful days, and besides, you have an estate in your hands. What is there to be afraid of."
"My son, what do you know? Your sister Hualan is so beautiful today. One is that your father is a good official, his official voice has always been good, and the communication is smooth. Second, our family has more or less family background, no better than those without. Thirdly, that girl Hua was born as a prostitute. She has an uncle with a hairpin for generations. How can you compare this last place? Besides, you are only a few months away from that girl. Marrying together, can I have a good family for you at that time?" Aunt Lin took the heater in her daughter's hand, opened it, and the copper hairpin in her hand dialed the charcoal fire inside. After covering it, she handed it back.
Even if Mo Lan has always been precocious, he can't help blushing after hearing this: "What did the mother say? How old did you say this?"
Aunt Lin caged her daughter’s small hands, her beautiful eyebrows revealed a stern expression, and she said solemnly: “I never regretted what happened back then. I was a child and offended the old lady. I cannot tolerate my wife. Don’t be afraid. Your elder brother is a little man. Regardless of whether he is born or raised, he will always get a family property. It will come from a place where he can stand. I am only worried about you."
Mo Lan asked in a low voice: "Mother, don't take it to your heart. My father loves me like this. The other girls are me except my big sister. I will never treat me badly in the future..."
"But I can't be very kind!" Aunt Lin interrupted her daughter, leaning back on the pile of autumn-scented money pythons, and said slowly, "You are seven years old now, too. It’s time to know. When I was seven years old, your grandfather lost his family. After that, I never had a decent life. Your grandmother didn’t calculate, she relied on pawns to survive. At that time, she always sighed that she could not get married. A decent family, they were obviously little sisters who had fun together at the beginning, some of them were rich and rich in gold and silver, and some were down and down, and even the family of her mother didn’t want to see her. At last she did one thing right before she died. I will send it to this Shengfu."
The room was quiet, only the smoked cage on the ground slowly spitting out smoke. Aunt Lin was slightly in a daze, remembering the first day she entered Shengfu: at that time Sheng Hong had a small official position, but Grandpa Shengzu earned She has given a large share of the family business to her children and grandchildren. The old man was born as a Tanhua Lang. The natural style of Shengfu, such exquisite and beautiful gardens, such as gold and silver utensils, and satin and feather gauze four-season clothes, she never thought about this world in her entire life. There are also such rich days, such a pampered life, at that time Sheng Hong was gentle and handsome, gentle, she could not help but think of other ideas...
Mo Lan looked at her mother's hazy and beautiful face, and suddenly said: "Mother, why do you have to be this concubine? Isn't it okay to marry outside and be a grandmother? It's all gossip everywhere, talking about you , Say you are... self willing..."
Auntie Lin suddenly opened her eyes and looked at her brightly. Mo Lan immediately lowered her head and was too frightened to speak. Auntie Lin stared for a while before turning her eyes away, and slowly said, "You are older. It's time to be sensible.... The old lady is good in everything, but there is the same thing. She always likes to talk about "easy to ask for priceless treasures and rare lovers." The so-called poor couples are mournful. The old lady is a lady of the Houfu family, and she doesn't know the outside. The misery of the poor family. A child is born for a month, but only six or seven buckets of rice and a tael of money. The top girl in our house has eight money for a month, and this jacket on you alone is worth fifty or sixty taels. , The fine charcoal burnt in your hand furnace costs two or two grains of silver a catty, plus what you eat and wear every day, how many young people can you afford?"
Sweat came from Mo Lan’s forehead, and Aunt Lin smiled bitterly: “Besides, do poor children have to be good? At that time, a cousin of mine married a poor scholar, originally pointing to the future There is a day in the early days. However, the scholar can not only drag two sour articles, the imperial examination is not successful, the business is not successful, and the family depends on your cousin and aunt Zhang Luo, she accompanied her husband and son through all the hardships and gave birth to him. , And also saved a few acres of land, but the harvest that year was slightly better, and the poor would have to accept concubines. Your aunt refused, and she was scolded every day and was almost dismissed; she couldn’t bear it, so she had to let her The concubine's room came in, but only a few years later, he was alive and furious, leaving a few children to be practiced. Humph! When the scholar came to propose marriage, he also said that he was full of words of virtue and deeds of the saint. What a good life is to love his cousin, Qin Se and Ming. , Respect like a guest... Bah, all empty talk!"
Mo Lan listened attentively, and Aunt Lin's voice gradually became softer and softer: "Women don’t depend on a man all their lives, men are useless, and no matter how strong a woman is, I can’t straighten up. At that time, I thought, no matter how big it is. To be a child, the husband-in-law must be of outstanding character, emphasizing affection and righteousness, talents, and able to shelter the family from wind and rain... With your father, although he is a concubine, he does not have to worry about fear, at least he can have a peaceful life. Children also have a support."
The mother and daughter were speechless for a while, and after a while, Aunt Lin chuckled: "The old lady found me all the so-called'farming homes' at the beginning, and she herself stays in poverty. How can I be decent? Dowry? Bah! After all, I am also a lady from a serious official family. What if I come to Shengfu when I mean eating chaffy vegetables? It's really ridiculous."
"Then you still let me go to the old lady, can she keep me?" Mo Lan couldn't help but said.
Aunt Lin smiled gently: "Stupid boy, this is your father who is admiring you! No matter how decent I am, I am still an aunt. You are not raised by your wife. If you can stay with the old lady and learn some rules and etiquette In the future, stand up and respect it. In the future, you will be taller than ordinary concubines. The master said that the old lady will choose a child by herself. In fact, if you think about it, Hua Lan is about to marry, and Mrs. Lan is reluctant to bear it. Ming Lan is a An angry and sick child, a few young men are going to study, who else is left?"
Mo Lan was surprised and delighted: "Father really loves me, but...I'm afraid of the old lady..."
Aunt Lin stroked her temples, her eyes flowed, and she smiled: "I still know the old lady. She has a noble and straightforward character, and prefers to sympathize with the weak. Although she is a little arrogant, she is not difficult to serve. Tomorrow morning At the beginning, you should go to the old lady and ask for help. Remember, be careful and meek, and be apologetic and guilty. Don’t call my mother or aunt. Sometimes it doesn’t matter if you hurt me. Sweeter, smarter, thinking that the old lady won’t put my account on you. Alas, I’m tired of you. If you are reborn in your wife’s belly, you don’t have to please. That old lady..."
"What did the mother say? I came out of my mother's flesh and blood, and what I said is not involved." Mo Lan snuggled into Aunt Lin's arms with a grin, "A mother is teaching by her side that her daughter can help herself. My wife is happy, and she will be decent in the future, and she will also be able to enjoy some happiness."
Aunt Lin said with a smile: "Good boy, when the master will be promoted to a higher rank in the future, you will be more decent than your elder sister married, and there will be great blessings waiting. What about you."
