reborn widow

Chapter 37
After Gui Qingqing had five sons, she finally got a pair of twin daughters. The daughters were not yet a year old, and the eldest son, Changsheng, had won the first prize and married Du Shi, the prostitute who was the chief assistant of the dynasty.

Li Song felt that the other party's family background was too high, and he was afraid that his son would be wronged. He didn't want to agree at first, but Qin Huaide, Gui Qingqing's adoptive father, was already the secretary of the household department at this time. It made Li Song full of depression, but he dared not say a word of dissatisfaction.

So when Gui Qingqing's twin daughters were two years old, her daughter-in-law had already given birth to a granddaughter.

Whether it is a boy or a girl, Li Song and his wife are not unhappy. Anyway, the son and daughter-in-law are still young and can have children in the future, but Mrs. Du is worried that her parents-in-law and husband will be unhappy. She was pregnant again, and because of the severe pregnancy reaction, she couldn't take care of her daughter, so Changsheng sent people to send Jin'er back to her hometown, and asked her parents to help her raise her.

Li Song was naturally very happy to have a granddaughter, but the two daughters were jealous. Every time they saw their father hugging their niece, the two daughters wanted their father to hug them, which caused Li Song a headache.In this noisy, several children grew up together.

Jin'er grew up with two aunts, Yuchai and Yuzan, and the relationship between them was naturally extraordinary. During this period, her mother became pregnant one after another and gave birth to three more sons. When Jin'er was eight or nine years old, she was still living with her grandmother. Gui Qingqing personally taught a few children about needlework.

After several months of teaching, Gui Qingqing took out a stack of sub-patterns and asked her daughter and granddaughter to choose their own embroidery samples, and the embroidered products would be considered as birthday presents for herself.

Yuchai and Yuzan insist that they are aunts. Of course, the niece should be chosen first. Jin'er originally wanted to wave her hand and say no, but seeing her grandmother watching coldly, Jin'er was a little scared. The grandmother is usually very kind, but when it comes to serious matters, she is very strict. Afraid that her grandmother would be impatient, Er Er casually took the embroidery pattern closest to her, and that embroidery pattern was folded, and she didn't even know what pattern it was.

"What is what?" Yuchai and Yuzan leaned over to look at the embroidery in Jin'er's hands.

When the embroidery sample was opened, Jin'er was a little dumbfounded. It turned out to be a picture of a rich and noble peony. When the jade hairpin and the jade hairpin saw it, both of them were stunned. It is the most complicated embroidery among flower and grass embroidery, and it is fine if it is normal, but this time the grandmother can say that the embroidered thing is a birthday present for her.Jin'er was afraid that she could not embroider well, and was so anxious that she almost cried.

Yuchai was also worried about her niece's embarrassment, so she raised her head and looked at her mother, thinking about begging her to change the embroidery pattern for her niece, when she heard her mother say in a flat tone: "Jin'er has already finished picking, what are you two aunts waiting for? some."

One sentence blocked Yuchai's unspoken words, and Yuhan hurriedly said: "Sister, you can choose first." The ones who choose first can at least choose some patterns with simple embroidery and less color matching. Craftsmanship, embroidery will not be ugly.

Yuchai knew that her sister was better at embroidering than herself, so she nodded in response, and finally found a bluegrass embroidery pattern. Yuchai was very happy, and just about to say that she wanted this, when she looked up, she saw Jin'er holding the peony embroidery pattern with a sad face , She couldn't help being moved, her niece chose such a complicated pattern, but her aunt chose a simple pattern, and it would be shameless to pass it on. Thinking this way, she put down the orchid grass embroidery pattern and picked a pattern. Embroidery samples of "Danfeng Chaoyang".

Among all the embroidery patterns, the most complicated one is the pattern of "a hundred birds facing the phoenix", followed by "the phoenix wears the peony", "the dragon and the phoenix present auspiciousness", "the eight immortals cross the sea", "the broken branches wrap around the phoenix", "the magpie ascends the plum ", "Songhe Yannian", compared with these embroidery samples, "Danfeng Chaoyang" is relatively simple, but it is still a bit difficult for Yuchai.

Yuzan watched as her sister finished choosing. She had already seen a picture of "Sanyang Kaitai" and picked it up. Although this picture seems simple, if a beginner wants to embroider three sheep It is vivid and not simple.

Gui Qingqing watched from the side, feeling quite relieved, the children did not play tricks, picked the brightest patterns, nor were they lazy, they picked the simplest, and the rare friendship between aunt and nephew, what Gui Qingqing valued most was this, she Seeing her granddaughter frowning while holding the embroidery pattern, she asked, "Jin'er, do you know what mistake you made today?"

Jin'er Nuonuo said: "Grandma, I should take a closer look before choosing..."

Gui Qingqing nodded, "It's good if you remember this lesson. The reason why grandma doesn't allow you to change is to tell you that there are only one chance for many things. No matter what it is, you must take it seriously. no more..."

Before Gui Qingqing finished speaking, she heard someone laughing outside the door: "Sister, I'm admonishing the younger generation again." As he spoke, Gui Mancang walked in.

Yuchai, Yuzan, and Jin'er hurried forward to greet each other, some called uncle, some called uncle, Gui Mancang agreed, sat down in front of Gui Qingqing, and the servants brought tea, Gui Mancang smiled while drinking: "The tea from my sister is better." His movements were extremely elegant, with a bookish look all over his body.

Gui Qingqing smiled and said, "They were all brought back by Changsheng. If you like them, you can take some with you when you leave."

"Forget it, if I take it away, my nephew will say that my uncle is not funny."

Gui Qingqing glared at his brother, and said, "You have drunk a lot of your nephew's tea, so don't they show filial piety to you? They actually brought Joe here."

Gui Mancang was embarrassing at what his sister said, so he smiled and said, "Sister, your 45th birthday is about to come, and the children are not here, why don't you help me prepare a banquet for you, how about?"

Gui Qingqing smiled and said: "It's just a birthday, not a full age, what's the point? By the way, why don't you read at home? Don't you still plan to participate in the autumn festival next year?"

Speaking of this, Gui Mancang was even more embarrassed. Originally, he had passed the Juren exam. If he was in someone else's house, he would be proud enough, but in his own house, he was crushed by several nephews until they all passed the exam. Jinshi, as an uncle, he is still a juren, which makes him feel very humiliated.

Gui Mancang listened to his sister's inquiry, and said with a wry smile: "I think it's better to forget it after much deliberation. I've tried so many times, and I'm tired of it. Besides, my nephews are not at home, so I just stay to accompany you and brother-in-law to have a good time." Companion..." Since he was a child, his elder sister has been sponsoring his studies, and even starting a family with his elder sister's help. Although he is Gui Qingqing's younger brother, in his heart, he always feels that his elder sister and brother-in-law are a hundred times better than his parents.

It just so happened that Li Song came back at this time. He heard what his brother-in-law said outside the door, and said with a smile: "It's good if you can think so. What's so good about being an official? It's better to be a rich man than to be busy every day."

Gui Mancang knew that his brother-in-law was comforting him, so he didn't answer the words. He just stood up and asked, "Brother-in-law, did you go hunting again? What did you hunt today?"

"I shot two roe deer. It happens to be your sister's birthday in a few days, so keep it for guests."

Gui Qingqing hurriedly said: "Let's forget it, I don't like noisy birthdays, why don't we have a reunion dinner together as a family."

Jin'er hurriedly interjected: "Uncle, didn't you say that Longyun Restaurant has invited a new imperial chef? Why don't we go there to eat when grandma celebrates her birthday?"

Gui Qingqing thought, how could there be an imperial chef in Qingpu County?It's just that everyone spread rumors, she has nothing to do, but several children wanted to go out, Li Songman naturally agreed, and Gui Mancang also agreed, so on Gui Qingqing's birthday, the family went to the county by car.

The carriage was walking on the streets of Qingpu County, and Jin'er couldn't help but secretly lifted the curtain to look out. The familiar street reminded Gui Qingqing involuntarily of the past, which small noodle stall sold delicious wontons; which stationery The paper and pens in the store are of good quality and cheap; which restaurant in the alley is a must for duck blood fans...

Gui Qingqing said it in a brisk tone, and Li Song listened to her with a smile all the time, interrupting from time to time, when the two of them looked at each other, they smiled slightly, Li Song quietly held his wife's hand, Gui Qingqing only felt his hand It's extra warm, and the days with him are extra reassuring. Even after so many years, it's still the same as before...
