Chapter 34: play off

Views:

For the daughters of the second room, the Chinese New Year is not much different from the usual ones. Because they are not favored in the Yue family, they will not get lucky money if they kowtow to the rich old Chen Shi, and they are not qualified to follow their cousins to the family. The elders here kowtow to pay New Year's greetings. On the contrary, it was the men from the clan who came to kowtow to Yue Dafu for New Year's greetings or when relatives at home came, and they also boiled water to make tea, but they were more busy than before the New Year.

In the kitchen, Young Silver fanned the fire vigorously to light the stove, while Young Jin turned the spatula vigorously, flipping up and down to stir-fry the vegetables.

Today is the second day of the lunar new year, the day when the married daughter returns to her parents' house. Xiao Chen and Han left early this morning. Only Su and Wan Niang didn't have their parents to leave, so they stayed at home.

In the main room, Wan Niang sat on the lower head with a big belly, and smiled and accompanies the charming guest Yue Changhong at home: "It's such a cold day, eldest sister has worked hard all the way."

Yue Changhong is also a person who loves to be flattered. Although she has only met Wanniang twice, she doesn't really hate her. On the contrary, she enjoys her flattery, so she also smiled and replied, "It's just a few places. It's fine too."

"What's wrong with this girl Liu'er, how come she has a black face as soon as she enters the door?" Old Chen looked at his granddaughter's unhappy face, and felt a little unhappy in his heart: "This is a big New Year's Eve, don't pay attention to it. !"

Ge Liuer was in a bad mood at first, and was told by the old Chen, she was not happy at the time, she put on her shoes and went outside, leaving only Yue Changhong to explain to the old Chen embarrassedly: "Liu Isn't my son fourteen this year? When my former son was 30 years old, her grandmother mentioned a family to us, saying that the family had dozens of acres of land. After that, it grew well and can still work. The uncle who runs a shop in the town is doing business!"

"Isn't this a good thing? Why are you still unhappy?" Wan Niang didn't know about the day when Zhou Junpeng came to New Years ago, and naturally felt that Ge Liuer was well suited to such conditions.

But Old Chen understood the reason as soon as he heard it, sighed heavily, and said, "This child has a big heart!" In fact, why did Old Chen want Ge Liuer to be able to do good things with Zhou Gongzi? But there is still no movement on Zhou Gongzi's side. Maybe Liu'er didn't like Liu'er. This Liu'er is still delaying his good marriage for him. Isn't this a sin

"Mother, I don't know what to do. That child was so angry that she refused to kowtow to her milk on the 30th day of the new year, and she is still angry today!" Yue Changhong is also a daughter who was spoiled by this arrogance. Seeing that there are only Old Chen and Wan Niang in the main room now, they sighed and asked Old Chen for help.

But what can Old Chen do? Reaching out his hand and poking his daughter's forehead, he said with some hatred: "You really are, this marriage event has been the word of the parents' life matchmaking since ancient times. If you husband and wife think that the future life is suitable, then you can settle it, it's difficult. If not, you can still go to the county seat and tie Zhou Gongzi to marry her?"

"I'm not afraid that Liu'er can't think of it!" Yue Changhong knew Ge Liu'er's temperament: "She has such a temperament when she is young. If she doesn't follow her, there will be trouble!"

The mother and daughter were speechless for a while, but Wan Niang, who was on the side, heard the trick. It turned out that Ge Liuer had a crush on Zhou Gongzi, who came to the house the day before, but now she refuses to look at each other! Turning her eyes, she gave Yue Changhong an idea: "Eldest sister, this Liu'er is just a little girl, how can you know what it is? Since this future life is good, it is better to take Liu'er to the town while going to the market. Look up, maybe you will nod your head?"

When Yue Changhong heard this, she felt that it made sense, so she quickly clapped her hands: "Yes! I'll take Liu'er to the town in two days!" The three people in the room were talking, but they didn't notice the door. Ge Liu'er under the outside corridor listened to what the few people said just now.

***

After lunch, Ge Liuer found a reason and went from the main room to the room where Wan Niang lived in the west wing. Some Wan Niang, who was sleepy in the afternoon, saw her coming. Although she didn't know what to do, she got up and greeted her with a smile: "Liu'er is here."

Ge Liuer sat unceremoniously on the kang, her round eyes were filled with disgust for Wanniang: "Why did you give my mother an idea to take me to see her?"

Wan Niang, who was still thinking about it, didn't expect her to ask so directly, and she didn't come back to her senses for a while: "Ah? What are you looking at? Who did you listen to?"

"You, I was outside the door when you gave my mother an idea." Ge Liu'er had some hatred in her eyes, why couldn't the people around her understand her? Could it be that she really wants to marry a country man who is digging food in the soil? Thinking of the rich wives in silk and satin clothes I saw in the town before, they were so imposing, and then thinking about the disgraced aunts in the village, Ge Liuer decided at that time that she would marry in the future. The son of the city!

Wan Niang was a little embarrassed, but she didn't expect to be caught by the master. But there was still no trace on his face, and he rolled his eyes and came up with an idea: "Liu'er, let me ask you, even if you don't promise your mother to see each other, can you marry Zhou Gongzi?" Liu Er replied, and then continued: "You also know in your heart that you have only met Zhou Gongzi once, how can you possibly marry him?"

Hearing Wanniang revealing her own scars so frankly, Ge Liuer was about to cry: "All of you look down on me! You all think I deserve to be a jerk!"

Seeing that she was lying directly on the kang and started crying, Wan Niang comforted her softly: "Liu'er, how can I say that I am also your aunt, I naturally miss you." Moreover, Wan Niang also wanted to climb high. How can people not understand this? He gave her an idea: "If you really want to marry Zhou Gongzi, I have an idea..."

As soon as she heard that she had an idea, Ge Liuer immediately wiped away her tears and looked straight at her: "What can you do?" She had already regarded Wanniang as the last straw.

"You first promise your mother to see each other, and then beg her to let you stay at your third uncle's house in the county seat for a few days, find a chance to meet Zhou Gongzi, and cultivate a good relationship. It's really not good, we women will always have some capital."

Looking at Ge Liu'er's well-developed chest with a pointed gaze: "Sometimes, as long as you use the right method, as long as you hook your fingers, a man will even give you his life, not to mention It's such a good thing to marry you and enter the door?"

Ge Liuer was a little embarrassed by her blatant eyes, but when she heard that she could marry Zhou Gongzi, her heart was full of joy, and she even changed her name to Wanniang: "Second aunt, are you telling the truth? ?"

Wan Niang smiled and nodded: "Of course I won't lie to you." She was very satisfied and won over the hearts of the relevant staff in the family for a month. Only the more people on her side, the sooner and more stable she can become. The daughter-in-law of the second room of the Yue family, not a disgraceful wife.

Ge Liuer also had no other ideas, and felt that what Wanniang said had some truth in her heart, so she nodded, thanked Wanniang, and left the west wing satisfied.

Young Yin, who came back from the outside, saw Ge Liuer's eyes were red but she came out of Wan Niang's room with a smile on her face. "cousin."

Ge Liuer glanced at her with some disgust, she was really a poor country girl who had never seen the world! Ignoring her, she just walked away.

Youyin thoughtfully looked at the tightly closed door of the lower room in the west wing, some couldn't figure out what would be involved between Ge Liuer and Wanniang, so she didn't bother to think about it.

As for Ge Liuer, after returning from the Yue family, when Yue Changhong tried to take her to the town, she understood it, nodded and agreed. The mother and daughter began to plan for this doomed trip with different thoughts. It is impossible to look at each other.

The Spring Festival was over soon, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for Wan Niang to launch.

On the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon looked up.

After coming out of the main room in the afternoon, Wan Niang, who had not returned to the west wing, shouted "Ouch", her face paled in pain, it turned out to be activated.

For the son who had been waiting for a long time, Yue Changlu was naturally the most concerned. He hurriedly helped the man back to the west wing, and then hurriedly drove the ox cart to the next village to invite Mrs. Wen.

But not long after Yue Changlu set off, Su Shi, who was only about a month away from giving birth, suddenly started, and Young Jin panicked, looking at Su Shi who was lying on the kang with his teeth gritted: "Mother! How are you?"

Su Shi was used to giving birth, and naturally knew that she had started it ahead of time, and her pale face showed a weak smile: "I'm fine, take your sisters out quickly, don't scare them."

Only then did You Jin notice panic and fear in the eyes of several younger sisters, especially when the two younger sisters saw Su Shi's appearance, they were about to cry. He hurriedly took everyone out of the west wing: "You Yin, You Zhu, you two, go to the stove and boil some hot water. You Bao is optimistic about the three younger sisters, and don't let them run around."

Although the children were flustered, they all listened to Young Jin's words very much, resisting the fear in their hearts and went their own way.

Old Chen, who was sitting on the kang in the main room, heard the chaos outside, so he put on his shoes and took a look. It turned out that both of them were activated. She spat at the young silver sisters who were busy boiling water: "There is one that is very useful, and it is designated to be two losers! It's a waste of my old lady's firewood!"

You Jin can't care about anything else. She knows that Su's pregnancy is not good and her body is very poor. She has to go and invite Doctor Ma. If Su's family can't get through this, then everything will be gone. Count on.

As soon as Doctor Ma heard that Mrs. Su had started early, they hurried to get the medicine box. Even Mrs. Lin, the mother-in-law of Dr. Ma's family, heard that Mrs. Wen hadn't arrived yet, so she packed up and followed: "I'll be early. Nian also helped people deliver babies, so it would be nice if you could help."

You Jin gratefully knelt down and kowtowed heavily to the two of them: "Grandpa Ma and Grandma Ma have a great kindness to our family, and I will definitely repay you two elders in the future!"

Mrs Lin hurriedly helped her up: "You child, is it still time to be polite? Let's go and see your mother soon!" Mrs Su was pregnant with twins and was born prematurely, so she was afraid it would be dangerous.

Young Jin nodded and took the two to the Yue house.
