Zhu Laosan was also dazzled by the white silver. He couldn't even count how long he hadn't seen the silver. Now that he saw this thing suddenly, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief and almost wanted to reach out immediately. He grabbed it and hid it, but then he thought that he was no longer outside, so he licked his lips. His Adam's apple slid up and down twice and he said, "It seems that the second brother's family is really doing well now."
"That's natural. The eldest son of his family is promising. Now he has won the imperial examination and followed Mr. Sun from the city to work in the south. That girl Hehua is smart and supported by noble people. Her family raises chickens, grows mushrooms, and opens a restaurant. My son, the days are getting better and better." Mrs. Yang is now more and more satisfied with her second son and his family. Not to mention that both husband and wife are filial people who know how to be cold and hot, and the children in the family are also promising and successful. Chapter 24: The belated New Year's ceremony, the marriage of the two daughters was also very good. Now the fourth child's family is too young to see anything, but when it comes to the first three sons, only the second family is the best. I'm afraid that the Zhu family will have to rely on them to become prosperous in the future.
Zhu Laosan said with emotion: "Second brother is a lucky man, no better than me..." Then he asked, "Which family did Shaoyao talk about the marriage? Is he a nice person?"
"Shaoyao is also a lucky person. After you two left, the second brother's family helped me take care of her for two years, and then she came back to me. This time, the marriage was also done with Bo Rong's blessing, because he was selected for the exam. , to say that the number of relatives suddenly increased, but peony was not as good as lotus. After all, they were just cousins. I talked about a family in the city who was doing business. Their family background was very good, but the first daughter-in-law was unlucky. She gave up without even leaving any heirs, and Shaoyao became a young mistress after she passed away. Although she is a stepmother, she doesn't have to be a stepmother, and she has people to take care of her inside and outside, which is great." Mrs. Yang babbled to her son. He said, "Don't feel wronged by her. I personally care about the children of that family. I can't fault her."
Zhu Laosan nodded and said: "Of course it's right for mother to make the decision." As he said that, his eyes dimmed, "But after all, she blames me as her biological father and doesn't want to recognize me..." Chapter 324 A belated New Year’s gift
Yang originally wanted to say that for what you did back then, it was normal for your children to resent you. But looking at the skinny and desolate look of his son, he couldn't say these words. He just shook his head and said: "You will grow better in the future. Don't rely on your daughter to support you in the future, even if it is to accumulate blessings and virtues for her." "
"Mom, I want to use this silver to add to Shaoyao's dowry, what do you say..." Zhu Laosan stared at the ingot of silver, saying that he was willing to give it up, but it was a bit against his will. But I also really want to compensate my daughter for something.
"Shaoyao's dowry has been prepared. When your second brother's family grew mushrooms, Hehua also shared a share of the dividends with Shaoyao. In addition, in the past few years, your eldest sister and second brother have subsidized it. The dowry is sufficient. You are rich, and your husband’s family is not short of money. You should worry about yourself!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone knocking on the door outside. Yang quickly put the money in the four corners of the bag, tied it and stuffed it into the kangqin, then moved her buttocks to the ground to see who was coming for New Year's Eve. Knock on the door.
Zhu Yongxin had already come out of the main room and opened the door. Through the red light of the lantern swinging at the door, he saw a boy who looked like a boy shivering with cold. There was a carriage packed with things behind him. He thought he was keeping warm and asking for tea. The passers-by hurriedly walked in and said, "Where are you going, little brother? Why are you still on the road during the Chinese New Year? Come in quickly to warm yourself up, drink a few sips of hot wine, and leave tomorrow morning!" "
The boy looked grateful but stood still, bowing his head and saying thanks in advance: "Thank you for your kindness, brother. I would like to ask if this is the Zhu family's old courtyard in Qijia Village?"
"Exactly!" Zhu Yongxin said strangely, "Who are you here to find?"
"Oh, I found the right one. I'm looking for the second master of the Zhu family. This is a new year's gift that Mr. Zhu asked me to bring back. It's just that the carriage broke down on the road and delayed the day. Otherwise, it should have been delivered long ago..." The boy immediately nodded and said, then turned around and pulled the horse's head towards the yard.
Zhu Yongxin didn't realize for a moment who this second master, Mr. Zhu, or something like that was. He was stunned for a while before he realized that it was a new year's gift from Bo Rong. He quickly went up to help, unloaded the car, tied up the horse, and added He picked up some fodder, and then quickly led the people into the house and said, "Bo Rong asked you to come, right? You came on the way from the south. It takes a long time. It's getting colder and colder along the way. Hurry up and get warm inside."
The boy refused repeatedly: "So you are the second master. I'm rude and don't dare to enter the main room. You can find a side building to warm me up."
Ms. Yang stood at the door of the west wing and listened to the general idea. She hurriedly picked up the curtain of the west wing and said, "Come and sit in the west wing. It's not convenient to have my daughter's family in the house. Our place is too small."
Zhu Yongxin heard that what Yang said made sense. After all, Peony and Lotus had agreed to get married. Although country people were not so particular, they still had to avoid outsiders, so he led the young man into the west wing and asked Fang Shi heated up some dishes and boiled the wine and brought it over.
Zhu Laosan was grateful for the money given by Zhu Yongxin, so he automatically stepped forward to talk to the boy. The boy first took out a thick envelope from his arms and gave it to Zhu Yongxin, then thanked him and started eating.
Zhu Yongxin asked the third child to help him say hello, then took the letter and went to the main room to show Hehua what was written.
By now, the whole family knew that Bo Rong had returned with a New Year's gift. Both Shuanzi and Boning couldn't help but want to know what it was. Seeing Zhu Yongxin take the letter and enter the house to give it to Hehua, Shuanzi couldn't help but come up and said: "Dad , I am also literate, why do you always ask the second sister to read the letters, I want to read, what did the eldest brother send us back?"
Shaoyao pricked her ears on one side, wanting to know but too embarrassed to come up to take a look. After listening to Shuanzi's words, she started to challenge: "Now the dumplings are wrapped, and it's not time to put them in the pot yet. Let's keep watch." The brazier is not interesting, so why not move the box in and take a look, firstly, to pass the time and lively, secondly, while the boy is still there, compare the things with the list in the letter, to make sure there is no mistake or missing something. , these three days, each family's things will be divided easily, so that the second uncle and the second aunt will not have to worry about going home and then coming back." After saying this, he seemed to feel that what he said was very appropriate and reasonable, and raised his hand to cover it with a handkerchief. Smile with your lips.
Hehua naturally understood what peony meant. After seeing her getting engaged, she began to make more and more noises, and from time to time acted like a lady, which was already a bit overwhelming, but since she said this in person, Fang must not It will refute her face.
Yang only heard the words that something was missing, and immediately nodded in agreement and said: "Shaoyao's words are reasonable. Now that the boy is still here, it's easy to talk about anything. You can talk about it when others leave." It’s unclear.”
Seeing this, Zhu Yongxin could only nod his head and said: "Then, fourth brother, follow me out and carry it in. There are several big boxes!"
Hehua took advantage of the gap between them talking and carrying the box, and quickly scanned the contents of the letter. When she saw that Zhu Yongxin said that everything was fine there, and that Xiaoxiu and Lizi had adapted to life in the south, she felt a little relieved. When I looked at the list of New Year's gifts at the back, I couldn't help but be a little shocked, but I really got a lot of things back.
At this moment, four large camphor wood boxes have been carried into the house one after another. They all look like newly packed boxes. The outside is covered with tarpaulin and there is no bump or damage at all. Thinking about Bo Rong. The letter said that these four boxes were brought back to be used as dowry boxes for her. She couldn't help but blush. When she saw that each box had a piece of paper written on it, she said, "Then there is a piece of paper on it." A’s box was opened first, it’s something that my eldest brother gave to his family.”
After Zhu Yongxin heard the words, he moved some places and raised his hand to open the box. Everything inside was counted and packed tightly. There was also a note on it indicating what it was. You could tell by looking at it that it was packed with great care. .
Hehua sent Shuanzi to fetch a charcoal bar from the stove, then sat in front of the box and started to unpack things. When he took out something, he asked Shuanzi to find the corresponding one and tick it.
"A piece of Hangzhou silk with more than three years of longevity and longevity, and a piece of Hangzhou silk with ten thousand words..." Hehua read to the lot and unwrapped the paper. Fang hurriedly took the paper and spread it on the table. Fold it and keep it for the children to practice calligraphy. Although the family now has money to buy pens and paper, they cannot change their habit of being frugal.
Shuanzi scanned for a long time before finding the one, and then said with a smile: "This is for grandpa!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Lin took it and looked at the pattern under the lamp. She touched the material and twisted the corners and said with a smile: "It is indeed good Hangzhou silk. There were several pieces of it in my mother's dowry back then." I have seen horses when I was a kid, but they are not as good as this one. The best ones are these, they are all auspicious and festive, and most suitable for the old man." Then he handed the things to the old man, "Master, take a look. This is Borong’s tribute to you!”
"Okay, okay!" Mr. Zhu touched the material with his trembling hand, then retracted it as if it was hot, "We farmers, no matter how we wear such good materials, these are all worn by the great old man's grandfather. ." Although he said that, the joy shining in the old man's eyes could not be concealed.
"Now that you are the grandfather of the Juren Master, you are not far away from that Grandpa Yuan. The Grandpa Yuan donated money, but you are not as noble as you!" Mrs. Lin naturally understood what the old man was thinking, and said Say something flattering and put the ingredients in his hand.
Hehua then went to unpack other things. The three old people all had two pieces of Hangzhou silk. In addition, they packed tea leaves from the south for the old man, bought tobacco leaves and rice wine from the south for Lao Zhutou, and gave Yang two pairs of gilded children. Gold and silver earrings and a pair of heavy gilt silver bracelets.
Mrs. Lin weighed these things, thinking that she would need four to five taels of silver.
Next came the items from each family. Everyone else in Zhu Yongxin’s generation, both men and women, got a piece of Hangzhou silk. The man got another piece of catechu, and the woman got a pair of earrings. There was no preference for one or another. For a time, everyone in the room was happy. To be continued! ! !
