The noise outside could also be heard clearly in the inner room. Mr. Zhu’s brows were knitted into knots. Yang quickly got off the kang and came out to see what was going on. She grabbed Shaoyao and lectured in a low voice: “What are you doing? It’s a big New Year’s noise. What? How old are you? Your daughter is about to go out, why are you still so ignorant? "
Shaoyao immediately refused and said, "Nai, why are you just talking about me? Is everything my fault?"
Yang's face sank and she said: "Anyway, Hehua and Shuanzi are younger than you. You are a sister. Even if there is anything wrong with them during the Chinese New Year, you should persuade them to give in. They are so noisy that your grandfather Not happy."
Hehua stretched out her hand and pushed the bolt and said, "Go back to the house and wait to eat dumplings. Be obedient."
Shuanzi nodded and went into the house obediently.
When Yang saw Zhu Laosan today, she always thought about how much suffering he had suffered outside in Chapter 326: The Silver and Jewels Dazzled His Eyes. Before, Shaoyao refused to recognize him, which made Yang feel a little awkward. , although he was trying to persuade the third child, he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart. Now he saw that Shaoyao was making trouble regardless of the time and occasion. He immediately attributed the fault to Shaoyao and raised his hand to push her: " Hurry back to the house and change your clothes. What are you doing here? You can put on a better face for me later and don’t get on the table with a straight face."
Shuanzi didn't complain after entering the house, he just sat on the edge of the kang and waited for dinner.
Hehua brought the dumplings into the house, placed them in front of the old man and said, "Grandpa, it's time to eat the dumplings!"
Mr. Zhu sighed with emotion: "It's better for the children of the second family to worry less." After saying that, his face darkened again, and he turned to Mrs. Yang and said, "Shaoyao is about to go out. How can we do this if we still do this when we go to her husband's house in the future?" , people should not think that our family lacks tutoring, you have been watching her so much these past few months. Teach her the rules of being a wife. "
Naturally, Yang had nothing else to say, so he could only agree: "Dad, I understand." He felt more and more that Shaoyao had embarrassed himself. Even though she was celebrating the New Year, she was scolded by her father-in-law and turned to glance at her dissatisfied.
Although there was this little episode about the dazzling silver and gems in Chapter 326, there were a few children who made jokes. The dumpling meal was quite lively, and the old man ate two dumplings wrapped in copper plates. Smiling from ear to ear.
After eating the dumplings, He Hua helped clear the tables on the kang and on the ground, and directly placed Pai Gow and leaf tiles. The men played Pai Gow on the big table on the ground, and the women gathered around the kang table to touch the leaf tiles. She also took some extra The promotion plan brought back by Bo Rong was placed on the kang in the west room. Let Boning lead the children below to play, while she held Bao'er in her arms and sat on the edge of the kang to show Yang the cards.
Shaoyao wanted to continue looking at the things in the box, but firstly, he lost face because of the commotion, and secondly, no one else seemed to be interested, so he had no choice but to give up and went back to his room to play with the materials, wishing he could find one. The scissors came to cut it into pieces, but my heart was ruthless, but my hands touched the silk very gently, and then picked it up and compared it with my body. He put it back into the cabinet without interest.
After sitting in the room for a while, Mrs. Lin pulled her out to play cards and watch the New Year together.
Everyone stayed there until dawn in the morning, and then they dispersed and went home to get some sleep. Then I have to go out to each house to pay New Year's greetings, and I have to leave people at home to wait for others to come.
On the way home, Mrs. Fang hurriedly asked Hehua: "What did your eldest brother write in his letter? How is life in the south? How is Xiaoxiu? Lizi is so young, I think about it every day. Really, I shouldn’t have let them take her away in the first place.”
"Mom, don't worry, brother said, everything is fine over there!" Hehua picked out the interesting things in the letter and told them to Fang. The family chatted and laughed and soon arrived home, putting all the boxes on the carriage. After unloading it, Shuanzi shouted: "Eldest brother said in the letter that these four boxes will be used as dowry for the second sister!"
"That's good, we can all move directly to the Lotus House. She can live alone in the house, so she can relax." Mrs. Fang hurriedly greeted everyone to move things.
After finally moving in, several people were very tired. Shuanzi was still clamoring to see the contents of the boxes, saying that Bo Rong had written in the letter that the two boxes were all for his family.
Fang couldn't resist him, so she had to open the box. One of the boxes was full of clothing materials and embroidery items. Some of them were embroidered by Xiao Xiu to add to the lotus dowry. Most of them were bought from the good embroidery shop over there. There are chair frames, door curtains, tents, etc., and at the bottom are two red embroidered quilts with pictures of hundreds of babies.
Mrs. Fang touched the embroiderer and marveled: "We have always said that the fourth child is good at his craftsmanship, and it seems that the embroidery work here in the south is even more exquisite. Look at this little man, he embroiders as if he is alive. This one has been How long does it take to embroider the face, tsk tsk..."
In another box, there are mostly miscellaneous items, including clothing materials for the family, tea leaves for Zhu Yongxin, pens and ink for the two boys...
After turning it all the way to the bottom, Shuanzi said, "I've finished reading everything on the list."
Lotus looked at the four mahogany boxes under the box. One pair was carved from mahogany and the other was flat with mother-of-pearl inlays. He said strangely: "Then what are these boxes? Could it be that I forgot to write them on the box?" Is the order on the list?" As he said that, he reached out to pick up the box, but it was heavy. He placed it on the edge of the bed and opened it. It turned out that the box was filled with jewelry. There was a note in the box, saying it was for Mr. Fang and Mr. Jasmine's head and face.
Lotus took two things out to look at. Although most of them were silver and gilt, this box should have a lot of silver. The two people hurriedly took out a few more to look at. The two boxes with mother-of-pearl inlays were all full of silver and gold. It was a dowry for lotus flowers. The other box was divided into two halves. The larger half contained one tael and half a tael of patterned silver ingots, while the other half was actually some polished gemstones.
Although the boxes were all about the size of a palm, they still shocked the whole family from ear to ear.
Mrs. Fang stared at the box of knives and gems, and opened her mouth several times before speaking: "This... this... Oh my God, how much money does this cost? What on earth did Bo Rong do in the south? This... It’s only been half a year, so you can’t get so much money if you try to rob it!”
Zhu Yongxin pulled her and said, "What are you talking about? Why is our Bo Rong such a child?"
Hehua's mind kept spinning. She pondered for a while and was about to speak when she heard Boning suddenly say: "Big Brother said before he left that the place where Big Brother Sun works is a place where waterways must pass through, with countless merchant ships coming and going, especially It is a ship that transports tea, porcelain and spices to the West. Everything on the ship is worth more than the same amount of silver. When it arrives at the docks in various places, it is natural to treat the local officials and give them gifts. To them, these things are really valuable. It’s nothing.”
Fang was stunned for a while after hearing this, and subconsciously turned her head to look at the lotus, as if she wanted to seek a positive explanation.
He Hua smiled and nodded at Fang, then turned to look at Bonin. This little kid who used to always follow her has now grown into a green and tall boy, much taller than herself, but even more different. The playfulness in his childhood gradually became calmer. He went to school every day and studied hard after returning home, which made him gradually ignore his growth. Now it seems that he really can no longer be treated as an ignorant child.
Seeing He Hua looking at him in a daze, Boning looked up in confusion. Seeing He Hua's eyes full of relief and approval, he couldn't help but frown, covered his mouth with his fist and coughed softly: "Everyone, go get some sleep. I get up early and go to various houses to pay New Year greetings."
Only then did Mrs. Fang come back to her senses, and chased the children and said, "Hurry up, let's all go get some sleep." After they chased them away, she slammed the door of the lotus house and stared at the boxes in a daze for a long time. Then he asked Hehua, "This, how can this be good? I don't feel safe leaving such a valuable thing at home. This... this is really..."
"Mom, you don't have to worry. No one knows we have these things in our house. Just put them in the box and lock it. No one will come home to steal it." Hehua comforted Fang while getting on the kang and laying out the bedding. , pulling her and saying, "Mom, come sleep with me for a while!"
From morning to night on New Year's Day, Mrs. Fang was obsessed with these boxes of things, always feeling a little uneasy. It wasn't until Jiang Shiyan brought Jasmine back to the house the next day that Ms. Fang seemed to have regained some of her soul. .
Jiang Shiyan and Jasmine arrived home early in the morning. Fang was sweeping the yard. When he saw the carriage parked at the door, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "You guys arrived so early, why don't you go out before dawn? Is it cold on the road? Come in quickly." Warm, warm.”
The young couple never likes to take people with them when they return home. Most of the time, Jiang Shiyan drives the carriage himself or sends the coachman back to the place. This time, two carriages actually came, which made Fang feel even more strange.
Jiang Shiyan got out of the car and strode towards the house with Jasmine in his arms. A little girl got out of the car at the back and took out the tightly wrapped Zao'er. Fang quickly went to pick up the curtain to open the door and asked in fear: "What's this?" What happened?"
After entering the house and placing Jasmine on the kang, the little girl put the dates on the kang and then bowed out. Then Jasmine said with a blush on her face: "Mom, I'm pregnant again."
Mrs. Fang was startled when she heard this. She was worried and happy at the same time. She bowed to the Bodhisattva statue with her hands clasped together, muttered a few words, and then scolded Jasmine: "It's not easy for you to give birth now that you're pregnant." You're resting at home, it's so cold and it's freezing and snowy, why are you coming back home! Can your parents still pick on you?" Then he complained, "Your old lady doesn't care about you."
"The family doesn't know yet!" Jiang Shiyan had been holding Jasmine on the road, for fear that she would bump her. Now he breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up and wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "She is afraid that the family will know. I have been keeping her secret for half a month. I have had several quilts laid out in the car, which are quite secure. Mom can rest assured. She is homesick so much that I can only Follow her."
"Good boy, I know it's because she's such a careless girl. It's a good thing you can always put up with her. Sit down and have a rest. Your father has been talking about you since last night!" To be continued! ! !
