"Why is there no one to help? Don't worry." Minglan pretended to be surprised and smiled. "Daughter-in-law has thought about it, don't we still have some sister-in-laws? If others don't tell me, this is the sister-in-law Xuan. The first one is enthusiastic. If you ask, four uncles and five uncles, which one will not come to help. I'm afraid I will rush to come at that time."
"This... after all is separated." Madam Tai hesitated.
"After the family is divided, it is also a family." Minglan prepared her words long ago, "Sister Xuan is well-rounded, you know. At that time, there will be Sister Xuan Zhang Luo in front, and me and a few in the back. The sisters-in-laws accompany the guests to talk, and if you always sit in the town, what else can't be done. Ask the outside to look at it, saying that our three rooms are still harmonious, but it is still lively, wouldn't it?"
Mrs. Tai thought about it carefully, and it really was. She is a wise person, she only needs to be beneficial to herself, never quarreling with her will, she agreed with a smile now. The room was alive again, and Shaw could only lower her head and sigh secretly. She was a blunt person. She could neither understand the details of Madam Tai nor the depth of Minglan.
Since Gu Tingyu passed away, Mrs. Tai hasn’t mentioned housekeeping and family wealth. Gu Tingye and his wife are juniors, so it is hard to take the initiative to mention it. Now that Gu Tingcan is about to get married, I don’t know... Well, I don’t see that Gu Tingye and his wife are half anxious. .
As the informant returned, it was Minglan's family that first came to Daoxi. She thought it was just a gift. At most, Wang Clan would come over and take a look and mention a few words of ‘raising a baby’, which is regarded as fulfilling the duty of an aunt, who knows, but in the second half...
"Grandma?" Minglan looked at the dignified and solemn old lady in astonishment, and she was about to turn off the Kang bed, "Why are you here! You are so old."
"Don't move, don't move!" Seeing Minglan stretch out her hand swiftly, the old lady Sheng almost broke into sweat, and hurriedly shouted, "You can lie down for me, don't move too fast and too quickly!" /
Dan Ju hurriedly stepped forward and held Ming Lan, while Xiao Tao cleverly dragged Zhang Taishi's chair and put it on the edge of the kang, and asked Fang’s mother to help the old lady sit next to Ming Lan. Wang had to sit behind him aggrieved. Up.
"You Hohen, you haven't seen me! The Yan Luo Temple wants to accept me and it's too early." Once the old lady Sheng sat down, she couldn't help cursing, "The first three months are the most important thing. ! I will beat you carefully!"
Ming Lanle's eyebrows opened and smiled. The little monkey twisted and touched the old lady, and said softly, "I haven't seen me for a long time, but grandma thinks I must be tight, so she will come and see if she wants to. I am."
The old lady Sheng put her arms around her little granddaughter, slapped her on the shoulder while cursing, "I'm a mother, and I'm not so dignified! Get up straight and sit down, what kind of like! Nothing! You hunk is in front of me, but I am obedient, about to live a few more years!"
Pian Minglan was born as a brown candy. I never knew I was afraid of her. I missed my grandmother. It was easy to see her. I became more and more anxious, and she was full of nonsense.'Look, my grandmother has lost weight and wrinkles. I must think of what she thought','If you don't see each other in a day, it's like three autumns, lovesickness makes you old'. It made her angry and funny, wishing to drag her over to have a fight, and wishing to kiss her like an hour.
The grandfather and grandson laughed and laughed on their own, and only the Wang clan who was talking on the side turned blue from the neglect, only then spoke seriously.
"You must be aware of the things you should pay attention to. In short, you must be careful these days. You must pay attention to the food that is passed on, even the incense burner, the silver wire carbon, and the flowers and plants in the garden. Especially those around you People. At this time, it’s better to be wronged than to let it go; if you are afraid of hurting the people, you should take the people to the Zhuangzi first, and then it will not be too late to find out the loss..."
"Grandma, from my province."
I don't know how many times I said this. The old lady kept telling her, Ming Lan kept repeating this sentence to reassure her.
The old lady Yin Yin ordered, and turned her head to Mama Cui: "You are getting old from the soup and medicine, and I won't send the people beside me. I only entrust this child to you."
Mother Cui said hurriedly: "I've written down what the old lady said. Madam I served since I was a child. I took my life to say that when the sky is falling, I also want to protect Madam and the little master."
The old lady nodded in satisfaction.
Ming Lan was moved, but was also numbed by her long-winded ears. She hurriedly turned off the topic: "Hey, why didn't Brother Quan come? Do you remember my aunt?"
Wang finally took the opportunity to speak, and said hurriedly: "This kid is very skinny these days, so he didn't bring it for fear of quarreling you."
"How about Sister Hui? Good."
Speaking of the little granddaughter, Wang's face is also full of smiles: "If you say that this little girl is ten times stronger than her brother, she doesn't cry or make trouble, she is clever and presses posts, she will laugh when you see people. Your father and old man It's like what my wife likes."
"How about Big Sister and Fifth Sister?" Minglan deliberately joked.
Wang gave her a white look and said loudly: "If it is better than them, it will be a hundred times stronger!"
I understand that I laughed happily, pointed at Wang, and said wittyly: "Grandma, listen to you, my wife has changed her mind, and if she has a granddaughter, she forgot about her daughters. When I look back, I will tell my eldest sister and fifth elder sister, you have to go with me Testify. My wife has changed my heart now and doesn't hurt them anymore!"
Everyone in the room snorted, the maids and women smirked sideways, the old lady hugged Minglan hard, and smiled and cursed'猢猢猢狲', Wang's smile flushed, and she held her kerchief over her eyes. , Shi Cai's slight displeasure also disappeared.
"There's nothing next to it, it's Feng Ge'er's marriage. It's already set for the first spring of the year. You can't come." The old lady looked at Ming Lan lovingly, "Just call your uncle over for a drink."
Ming Lan smiled and nodded. Wang remembered something and said: "Your eldest sister originally wanted to come, but this time she got caught up in the matter. She said she was waiting for free, so she came to see you in person."
"If your big sister is busy, don't come, my sister, don't be polite." Minglan worried that Hualan would not be able to go out, lest she would deal with the superb mother-in-law again.
"It's okay, she said she can come." Wang smiled and said, "Now she feels that she is a person over here, so I will come to mention you very tightly, so as to show her ability."
Everyone laughed again. No one mentioned Mo Lan.
What is the life of pregnant women? During the first three months of confinement, even walking and other exercises are difficult to do. You only need to eat, sleep, and live like a pig. In fact, there is no need to think about it at all, and it is completely dependent on instinct. Today's Minglan is no different from a little pig. After eating, he feels sleepy, wakes up and feels hungry, and hums half-consciously when he sees people.
In addition, I still want to eat something, sometimes sweet and sometimes salty, sometimes spicy and sometimes light, sometimes even the water feels smelly, sometimes it can't smell the food.
At this time, it was revealed that Gu Tingye’s ability of the former dandy boy, only Minglan could not think of, there was no food that he could not get, what kind of private food in the stalls and restaurants in the market, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Huizhe, various cuisines , He casually pointed out the path, only a short time.
Sitting on the opposite side, glanced at Ming Lan, who was struggling to eat and drink, and then at her flat abdomen. He began to wander away, dreaming of infinitely wonderful dreams, and he felt like a pot of honey in his heart.
Three or five days later, Minglan is still happy as a pig. But something happened over there.
Xiao Tao was so excited that she ran to report: "The old lady Yang is here!" Ming Lan crouched on the kang, and said with an aura: "What's a big thing, it's worthy of you. Go tell me, I am unwell. , Don’t go and please Ann."
"No, ma'am." Xiaotao's blushing face, hot sweat on her forehead in the cold weather, "the old lady didn't call anyone, just closed the door and talked to the lady, as if she was sending a message to her. What a temper!"
"How much dowry do you have for Ting Can!" Old lady Yang Gu rushed over like a hot wheel, losing her demeanor, and patted the Kang a few times.
The lady was not happy, but she still put on a smile: "Oh, you, aunt, have been asking about your niece’s dowry? Don’t worry, the princess and her husband will be satisfied, and you will have a long face! I dare not say Shili. Red makeup, but it is also countable in Beijing."
"What are you talking about!" Old lady Aunt Yang wiped the sweat from her forehead, cold sweat, "You have been married for decades, and you know the custom of the Gu family marrying daughters. You prepared it for Can'er this time. Is the dowry much more?"
The wife lowered her eyelids, slowly raised her hand to get the tea bowl, and said nothing.
The old lady Yang Gu angrily said: "I'm not here to vindicate myself! I'm not here to settle the bill! How much dowry you have to prepare for Can'er is your business, but why are you so late to hand over the property? Yu Tingye and his wife!"
The corner of the lady's mouth crooked, and she laughed sarcastically: "What? They finally couldn't help it, and went outside and yelled. It's true that they disdain this family business, it's so beautiful."
Seeing her like this, the old lady Yang Gu took a deep breath and calmed her breath and said: "I didn't laugh with you. If this matter is not done, Tingcan's marriage is afraid that it will be pornographic!" /
"What! Where does this start!" The lady was anxious, and immediately stood up on the table.
"From this morning I went to the horse mansion to ask for Geng Tie!"
Madam Tai sat down slightly trembling, her face was unclear.
The old lady Yang Shun calmed down, and said slowly: "A few days ago, someone from the horseman's house talked about Geng Tie. I specially slowed it down for a few days and let Chan'er put on airs. To this day, I have only met Mrs. Huang's sons went to the horse mansion together, thinking about taking the Geng Tie of the third son of the Han family first, and then coming to exchange for Can'er, who knows...huh, it's a big mess!"
"Why? The Han family has changed his mind?" The lady was trembling in terror.
"Nor." The old lady Yang Gu, thinking of the embarrassment in front of the princess this morning, was itchy with anger, "Speaking of which, Princess Qingchang was also very angry.... There was a banquet in the palace yesterday, the royal family members They all went. Before the banquet started, the nobles gathered for tea and laughed. I don’t know who said that the Han and Gu’s family was discussing marriage. Everyone congratulated you one by one, and Sister Kuang Chan was talented. High, although Princess Qingchang didn’t say anything, she was happy in her heart. She was fine, who knows...!"
"Say it quickly!" Madam Tai became anxious.
The old lady Gu Yang said angrily: "Who knows that Princess Linxiang suddenly talked about the dowry! It is said that Governor Gu has inherited the title for more than half a year, and has not even touched the side of the Gu family's ancestral property. As for family control, And the hero Tian, Fu Lu Tian, they were firmly in the hands of your wife. Ning Yuanhou and his wife took a short knighthood! Uh, you know, this Princess Lin Xiang and Princess Qingchang have never been at peace."
The same is a concubine, the princess Qingning was raised in front of the Queen Jing'an somehow, some of which occupied some status, the birth mother of the princess Linxiang was in Baolin, but in the end, it was not as good as the scenery of the princess Qingchang. So, the sisters have been in love since they were young.
Mrs. Tai held the tea bowl tightly, almost into her palm. Old Mrs. Yang continued: "Finally, you are well-known, and there was someone on the banquet who spoke for you. You said that you are not worried that their husband and wife are young, and they plan to explain clearly so that they can be entrusted. Who knows that someone will laugh in front of you. , Said, if the mother is not worried about the son and daughter-in-law, it is excusable, what is the matter if your stepmother keeps the property? You are not afraid of melon fields!"
The old lady Yang said that she was anxious, and she drank a sip of tea to moisturize her throat: "Princess Qingchang is okay at this time, she just said that you will entrust it immediately, and the outsiders next to her have something to discuss. I don't want to. The princess Lin Xiang sneered again, "Is it necessary to wait until the daughter is married before handing over? This relationship is good, and you are so blessed to have such a caring in-laws, sister!" What does this mean? Who can't tell. Princess Qingchang was so angry that she wanted to smash the tea bowl!"
The lady's whole body trembled in anger, her lips trembled, but she couldn't make a sound.
"That’s all. Everyone knows the mouth of Princess Linxiang, the most is not forgiving, and a few people take it seriously. But when the banquet is held, Princess Qingning accompanies the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and The queen is coming."
The old lady Yang swallowed hard, "The queen asked casually,'What is Shicai saying is so lively?' Princess Lin Xiang hurriedly talked about it. For fear that the situation would be unsightly, several princess princess owners , And the princesses of the princess and county, all smiled and helped come to the round. The two queen mothers made fun of a few words, and the original thing was over. But... the princess Qingning said jokingly, "It’s not that a family doesn’t enter a family. It’s strange that my sister can become a wife with Mrs. Zhennan Hou'. Princess Qingchang resisted, so she didn’t faint."
Mrs. Tai is cold halfway, and she has nothing to say.
Zhennan Houye loves arrogance and is not good at business. The Hou mansion is empty. Mrs. Hou is aggressive and arrogant. She has a lot of hands. She simply thought of a daughter-in-law as a dowry. The three-bedroom daughter-in-law who married before and after, all carried Wanguan If the wealth comes in, naturally, the home is not very clever. Princess Qingchang has always disliked the vulgar behavior of her eldest wife, and wished to enter the river to draw a clear line, but now she is being compared, she is very angry.
After these words, the aunts and aunts were speechless for a long time, and it was quite a long time. The husband said with hatred: "It is common sense to marry a daughter with more dowry. They are so irritating!"
The old lady Yang Gu was probably too angry, but calmed down: "Old sister-in-law, please don't fool people. According to the custom of Gu's married daughters, adding your dowry is also very impressive. You are the original I know how many dowry there are. You want to marry your daughter generously, and you will succeed! Get it from yourself, don’t take Gu’s ancestral property."
"Can'er is the only daughter of Old Hou Lord. What's wrong with the thick marriage? Just to accompany some ancestral property, so what! When Xuanmen Hou married his daughter a few years ago, almost half of the family property was sold! Not to mention that The princess Nian Pingning got married, how many did Xiangyang Hou marry!" The lady stubbornly stubbornly asked.
The old lady Yang was also a little angry, and said loudly: "I am indeed not the only prostitute of the old lady. I just know that if you want to accompany your ancestors, you have to be your own family! Now in the Gu family, are you the head of the family? The second kid Ting Ye is! You dowry the ancestral property of Gu's family without permission without the consent of the master Hou. What kind of truth is it! The predecessors of the future have passed on, and the stepmother took possession of the family property and left the ancestral business half empty for the daughter to do dowry; you Do you want a face for half a lifetime, do you want the reputation of your daughter!"
"Okay! I want to be a family member!" Madam Tai, like a beast, refused to give in, "How do people from outside know that Lord Hou has never spoken?"
The old lady Yang sneered: "I don’t know if my old brother has ever sent a message. However, I know about the two files issued by Ting Yu, who called his family members Qi before he died. Not only the family knows. , Outsiders know a lot. It’s a good idea for a dying person who can’t feel at ease before doing anything. He has to toss about this trouble. You have no brains as an outsider, don’t you think about it?"
Why? Isn't it just that my brother would be swallowed by the stepmother without knowing the details of the family property?
After arguing for a few words, both of them were exhausted and speechless.
The old lady Yang sighed long: "I am also a girl. I don't know what you want to marry a daughter. But a good family wants fame. The princess can do this, which shows that she is upright, Han The Ma family is really a good family relationship. But if you insist on this, then I dare not talk about the family of Princess Mansion. Please be smart."
Mrs. Madam thought a thousand times, she paused in the chair and couldn't help crying: "My poor child, seeing that my father and brother can't expect it, I wanted to give her more, but she didn't think about it again. Let someone calculate it!"
The old lady Gu Yang waved her hand, full of tiredness: "Think about it for yourself. Anyway, I can't get this Geng Tie for a while, but I want it soon. After the new year, Chan'er's age can be ...Well, which one is lighter and heavier, think about it yourself."
A handful of people who were ridiculed in the first half of the day, and arguing with others in the second half of the day, Old Lady Yang was also very tired, too lazy to say anything, and drank half a cup of tea before leaving. His own mansion, familiar with the door and the road, walked out very smoothly.
The more I thought about it, the more headaches she got. She didn't even bother to say anything along the way. Stepping on the birch-carved double stool, supporting the porter's arm, she quickly got into the carriage. I was able to sit still at the entrance of the car, and just about to move his old body in, suddenly there was a person in the car, a dark figure sitting in the front seat of the car.
She almost got frightened, looked in carefully and exclaimed: "Why are you?"
