take a wife to support the family

Chapter 438 Stay at Mijia Store

Before Li Caifeng could sort out the matter of Li Caifeng and his wife, the good day to welcome the spring arrived.

Originally, she was from Liushan Village, and she was supposed to marry from Qingliu Town, but firstly, Yingchun had some doubts about the people in the town because of the incident, and secondly, she set up a female household in the county alone, and she was not restricted by her parents. , how she loves to act is up to her.

Mrs. Zhu murmured to Baihe: "Yang's son-in-law doesn't have any in-laws or mother-in-law at the other end. Erniu is a dead girl who won't kiss me. When the time comes to have a baby, she will feel better!"

These days, when a woman gives birth to a child, she must be taken care of by the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law naturally loves her grandson, and if she neglects her daughter-in-law, she needs her own mother to take care of her, so as not to be wronged.

What Zhu means is that if Yingchun doesn't get close to her, she will use this matter to control Yingchun. Lamei can't help but sneer: "When your old man takes care of her, my eldest sister and I will take care of everything!"

When Mrs. Zhu got old, she was not very diligent. If it hadn't been for a few daughters to take care of her, what would have happened to the family.Even Lily and Lamei gave birth, and I didn't see her doing anything.Said that she can take care of Yingchun, none of the girls would believe it.

Lily even smoothed things over: "Your old man can enjoy life with peace of mind. She is going to get married. You just talk about giving birth to a baby. It's too nervous. By then, Lamei and I will be there, so how can we wrong our sisters? It's just that we can't see it, but For a few taels of silver, please hire an experienced sister-in-law to serve her."

When Mrs. Zhu heard that giving out money was like cutting meat, she nervously said, "Why do you have so much money that you have nothing to spend? It's better to give the money to me than to an unreliable outsider."

Lamei's face was dark, and Lily smiled at her, but didn't answer.

After all, the day of giving birth is still far away, Zhu thought for a while, she still had to look at the matter in front of her, and prepared happily. The gold, silver, and jade were inserted all over her head, in a mess, not like a head, but like a jewelry shelf.

If it's true, it's even worse, pass by the door, take a look in and say, "Ah, does grandma want to pretend to be candied haws?"

Lily smiled and said truthfully: "Don't talk nonsense, learn to read with your sister."

Looking back, Lamei had fallen on the Kang with a smile, yelling that her stomach hurts.Lily stared: "Be less frivolous, Tingyu will think you are crazy when she sees it."

Mrs. Zhu made a joke to her grandson, blushed a little, looked left and right in the mirror, curled her lips and said: "Your mirror is not bright, I can't see clearly."

There's no need to cause unhappiness on such a happy day, so Lily simply asked Mrs. Chang to open the warehouse, "Bring that glass mirror that's half a person's height."

Mrs. Chang called Shanglanniu Xiao'e to help, but she couldn't move the mirror by herself.

Suddenly took out the mirror, it was as high as Yi'an, smooth and bright, covered with golden carvings, Zhu was speechless: "Isn't this made of gold?"

"Silver gilt is just a mirror, real gold is so heavy, who would be patient to use it?" Lily said in her heart, if it was real gold, I'm afraid my mother will find a way to get it home.

The mirror was installed on the edge of the kang, and the window was opened to let the light from the outside come in. The room was very bright, and Mrs. Zhu sat there looking left and right.Just interrupted, at least to suppress the embarrassment caused by the truth, Zhu pretended to say: "I don't look very good-looking, big girl, you are so handy, you can do it for me."

Lily went over as promised, pulled out the messy hairpin rings, and recombed her hair.Knowing that gold is the most beautiful in the old lady's eyes, he picked out a set of the most magnificent jewelry and put it on for her.

Mrs. Zhu was quite beautiful when she was young, but now that she is old, she is fairer than the old lady next to her. If she is not vulgar, when she doesn't open her mouth, others would still think that she came from a rich family. Dressing up like this makes her look richer and more graceful, and she is actually quite good-looking. old lady.

Lily found another ruby ​​forehead inlaid with Baoxiang flowers and put it on for her. The forehead was embroidered with cloud patterns with thin silver threads, and the fine rubies in the middle were inlaid with Baoxiang flowers, which was magnificent.

Mrs. Zhu narrowed her eyes with a smile: "This one is good, this one is good." The eldest girl has a lot of good things in her hands.

Lily and the others also dressed up, and packed a few carriages with their belongings.These days, wealthy people pay attention to not using outside things when they go out, but Song Haonian and his wife are not very particular, they can't use outside if they really are pure personal clothing.

Even the Yi'an sisters are going to join in the fun, they are more delicate, although they never sting scorpions at home, if they go outside, they are a bit of a clean freak.

Then there are Mrs. Chang, Xiao'e, and Lanniu. They always have to bring a few changes of clothes and a few accessories that can be handed out, just to look like a happy event.

Not counting Song Haonian's family, Wang Xiaofu and Lamei have to take Tingyu with them.They are still in the filial piety, but the filial piety is not so strict in the countryside. As long as they are not in the filial piety, they are allowed to go out or visit relatives.

Tingyu can also wear red, and Lamei wears a skirt with duck eggs and green embroidered plum blossoms, which is sober and chic.The clothes are of good material, even if they are not conspicuous, they are not ashamed to look at.

The whole family went to the county seat in a mighty way, alarming the magistrate, who greeted him tremblingly, wiped his sweat and said: "The post has been prepared, Your Highness, please move."

He understood why the seniors didn't want to be officials in the clan fief!

Song Haonian also understood that the county magistrate got the news temporarily, no matter how complete the preparations were, it was not as good as the Mijiadian, which had already prepared half a month ago.So he said with a smile: "We're just here to see the girls get married, adults do as they please."

Even though he said that, the county magistrate finally sent everyone to the Mijiadian, and he was a little relieved when he saw that the house was neat and the utensils were clean.

This Mijia store was originally a large courtyard, or a building, with high railings on the second floor, so Zhaoren, Mrs. Chang and the children were arranged on the second floor. The children are lost.

Lily directed Lan Niu to put the clothes on the bed, and the children ran wildly on the wooden stairs, making the floor rattle loudly.Even Ruchun was eager to try, climbed to the edge of the stairs and looked up—he was still sleeping with his parents.

Ru Chun worked hard for half a day before he climbed up two ladders, and his legs were still thumping on the first step.Song Haonian was talking with the county magistrate in the room, and looked at his son attentively, watching him climb up, walked over to plead guilty, and hugged Ruchun.

Ru Chun was stunned, his father lost the results of his hard work for half a day, and tears welled up in his eyes.At this moment, Yi An trotted down from upstairs and waved to him: "Brother Chun, come on."

Ruchun stretched out his hand from Song Haonian's arms, and was amused: he could reach Yi'an who is so tall in one stroke.

Song Haonian was still very relieved of Yi'an, he handed Ruchun over to her to watch over, and he came back to talk to the county magistrate himself.

The county magistrate didn't gossip for too long, he just said but if there is something to do, they will do whatever they want.After taking his leave, he told Lao Mi to take good care of the family, and if there was even the slightest mistake, it would all be blamed on Lao Mi.

Lao Mi didn't know Song Haonian's real identity, and thought to himself: It's strange that people say that "money can make ghosts turn the clock". Once Song Haonian is rich, even the county magistrate looks like this, and he doesn't know how rich his family is. As long as a little bit leaks out between the hands, it is enough for my family to chew on it for several years...

The guys in Lao Mi's family are his son's nephew, so he told them to be clever and pleasing, but not to be annoying.

Lao Mi's youngest son said with a bitter face: "Father, most rich people have many problems. If they want to dislike us, we have nothing to do. Then don't blame me."

Lao Mi stared: "You treat people like your ancestors!"

Xiaomi thought to himself, how good his ancestors are to take care of him, going to the grave on Qingming Festival, burning paper in cold clothes, and offering meals during the New Year, and he will not cause trouble all year round.Even if you can't serve him, he can't beat you. At most, he will scold you in a dream, and then burn the paper again. It's no more than this kind of rich man.

Lao Mi's family doesn't talk about it, but the children here live on the second floor, and they are so excited that they climb the railing to watch the people coming and going on the street outside.

Zhaoren laughed at them: "There are so many pavilions and pavilions in Beijing, I have never seen you so happy."

Yi An said: "At that time, how could we crawl around?"

"That's right, the nanny definitely said that I look like a little monkey, not what a girl should look like." Hanai continued.

Han Ai was a concubine, and when she was in the capital, she was always gloomy and introverted. When she arrived at Song Haonian's house, the sisters were all treated the same, and there was no difference, and there was no nanny and others around to say that a concubine girl must be chaste and sensible, so as not to attract attention. The mistress didn't like it, but she slowly became lively.

Although not as naughty as Yi'an and Hanzhi, nor as timid as back then.

They climbed on the railing and looked out. They saw a dazzling array of cloth shops, silver houses, and restaurants on the street, and many small vendors shuttled among them. They felt itchy and wanted to go out to play.

Not long ago, he and Zhen just lost it once, and despite their begging, Zhaoren refused to agree: "In two days, we will welcome the Spring Festival and get married. Is there any kind of excitement? It's a mess today, don't make trouble, and I will take you out for a stroll tomorrow. .”

Although the children are not allowed to go out, there are still two old trees in the yard of the Mijia store, which are enough for them to play with. After a day, Xiaomi said to his father: "This family is rich if they are rich, and their hearts are not bad. , treats people very well, not to mention the adults, but those little dolls, see me serving, and say thank you."

He continued: "It's just these dolls, I don't know how many wives this Song Haonian has married!"

Lao Mi slapped his son on the head: "Do you have donkey hair stuffed in your ears? Didn't you hear that those little ladies are all nieces and nephews? Those two little boys are his real sons."

Xiaomi scratched his head and felt aggrieved: Who valued the niece of Waisi Road so much?No wonder he misunderstood.

Xiaomi's cousin had another idea, and said to his brother: "I also thought that a girl from a rich family should be more beautiful, but now she looks like that, not as neat as my sister."

Xiaomi just got slapped by his father, his heart was furious, and he sneered and said: "The master's lady is called Huarongyuemei, and those two girls are also considered neat. Your sister just changed her teeth. The front teeth haven't grown yet, so you dare say she is beautiful."

A few people chattered, carried the freshly cut hay to the stable, and worked together to brush the horses and feed the hay.Li Chouwa and other servants also came to help, and Xiaomi and the others quickly shut up.

It didn't take long for them to forget these few quarrels, and they still served attentively, hoping to get more rewards.
