185. Daughter-in-law
After arranging what He Gong wanted to bring for travel, at the end of May, Fan Yu and Fan Xiucai from Wushui Town came to the He family. On that day, Shen arranged for Fan Xiucai to live at home.
The next day, they rented a carriage, and the two got off early in the morning to Qingcheng Mountain. The whole family of the He family came to see him off at the door, and even the neighbor Feng family was alarmed. Because they were not far away, they quit their house and took the servant with them. He Gong took the car. Fan Yu joked, "It's strange that Brother He is unwilling to leave home."
Because it was still early and the weather was not too hot, both of them were sitting on the shaft of the car. He Gong laughed, "I don't believe that Brother Fan doesn't care about his family." Fan Yu returned home from the prefecture school, and then came to Bishui County to find him to go to Qingcheng Mountain.
Fan Yu smiled, "I hope I can be better this time. If I have fame and fame on the list, I will be worthy of what I have learned over the years."
He Gong was not very fame and was also a serious scholar. He listened to this, "Yes." Although he liked his wife and children, he still hoped to get a fame exam, not just to be an official, but he actually had a fame and social status that was different these days. As his children grew up, He Gong thought that he had to work harder as a father. Even if he was a juren, his children's marriage would be of the same level when discussing marriage.
The two of them were talking and heading towards Qingcheng Mountain in a carriage.
As soon as He Gong and Fan Yu left, A Nian Lie and Jiang Ren was about to go to school. Hu Wen came here to see him off today. He went to the academy with something to do. He Zijin did not go to Qingcheng Mountain, but wore a straw hat for A Nian at home. As it was hot today, A Nian said that it would be better to have a hat covering the sun, just like Zijin's sister.
As soon as He Gong left, Shen felt empty and sat in He's house holding Brother Jun and talking. The bowls of beans and wheat balls were all putting on the soles of his shoes. He said that his son's son was not easy, "How much has he suffered for this juren? It's so hot that he can't go out to ask for a lecture."
He Zijin said, "It's okay. It's not the time to be hot now. The mountains are cooler. People go to the mountains to escape the heat. Unfortunately, my father doesn't want me to go, otherwise, I want to go with my father."
Mrs. He said, "You want to go anywhere."
"Just Qingcheng Mountain, not far away."
"We have different mountains here? I haven't seen them in eight hundred lives, so what's the point of going to go?" After talking about his own girl, Old Madam He looked at the embroidered girl and said, "The Hu family is the same, so how many relatives have to make so many shoes? Alas, you can open a shoe shop when you get married."
The third girl laughed, "It's no problem to have maids help me. I set the size and make the soles of the shoe, and I just embroider the flowers when I make embroidery shoes for girls." The third girl is good at needlework. Since Shen bought the maids, she has also given special guidance to the maids. Even the youngest meatballs are doing well now.
Shen knew that He Gong had left, and Old Madam He was worried about her son and was a little unhappy. So she smiled and said, "Early June is the birthday of Mrs. Hu. I heard that she also invited a troupe to Mrs. Hu. The gift to Mrs. Hu, I thought, was nothing more than some longevity peaches and longevity noodles. The third girl made a piece of needlework. What do you think about it?"
Mrs. He no longer cares about these things. When Shen said that, she said, "It's okay, you can do it." She asked again, "Which opera troupe was invited?"
"It's said that it's a famous team of the state government, so it's time to sing for three days."
Mrs. He loved to listen to opera the most, and immediately became energetic and laughed, "Let's go together then." He said, "It's a pity that the third girl cannot go." The third girl was about to marry into the Hu family, but she couldn't go out at this time. The third girl smiled slightly and didn't mind. Mrs. He asked Mrs. Yu to take out the clothes made of high-end silk to wear, so that He Zijin could dress up happily. This was supported by Shen, and Mrs. Shen laughed, "Yes, a big girl, I have to learn to dress up. I can't always wear braids on the back of my head, which is too simple."
He Zijin is actually very good at dressing up, mainly because she is at home on weekdays, so there is no need to be too serious. Even if she goes to Qingyun Temple and goes back and forth twenty miles, she really can't get off the style of Miss Jiao. In occasions like the Hu family, He Zijin also knows that she should dress up well, otherwise she would be too casual and not laugh at her, and she would also be obviously not respectful to her master.
On the birthday party of Mrs. Hu, after breakfast, He Zijin started to dress up. She was not old and was not too young in the group of girls. Both buns and hanging buns were good. Moreover, the girl's house was a good day for Mrs. Hu, so she didn't have to choose the color of clothes. Just be red and red. He Zijin was wearing a red-bottomed and golden-flowered dress. This material was given by Aunt Chen. To be honest, it was actually gorgeous to shine. However, the material was really good, with a soft texture and not easy to wrinkle. Because the bright color was a bit scary, Mrs. He was not suitable for wearing, so he divided the third girl He Zijin. He Zijin was at an energetic age and was very beautiful, so she could suppress such gorgeousness. Shen looked at her daughter and even the third girl said, "Sister has grown up."
He Zijin was very proud of his small breasts that were slightly better than those at the airport. He said with great regret, "I just don't have a big figure."
Old Mother He scolded her, "Shut up, this is what the girl said." Really, what's so urgent? She's still young and will always grow up. Old Mother He looked up and down and reminded her, "You don't say such stupid words when you go, so you can celebrate the old lady's birthday." Although the girl was pouring water out sooner or later, she was born well and taking it out was really worthy of face.
The third girl laughed, "Grandma, aunt, sister, just go there, I will definitely pay attention to Brother Jun at home."
The third girl has always been reliable, and Shen has nothing to worry about. She just gave a brief explanation and asked Mrs. Zhou to cook a few more side dishes at noon and don't make do with it just because there are few people.
The Hu family was a bit far away, and there was a birthday gift to take. Shen asked Cui'er to hire a car outside, and everyone took the car to the Hu family.
The two families were in-laws, and the He family went there earlier and were also noticeably close. In this way, by the time of the He family, several tribe members were already sitting in the house of Mrs. Hu. The old lady was very happy when she saw the He family. She first said a few words to Mrs. He, greeting each other, and praised Shen, "When you stand like your mother-in-law, you don't look like a mother-in-law or a mother-in-law."
Mrs. He was arrogant, "A Jing followed her son-in-law to be an official from all over the world. She has been unable to see her for several years. She is all her wife comforting me, but she is just like a daughter. It's just like this." The main reason is that Shen gave birth to a grandson for her again. If Shen gave birth to a grandson for her, let alone being a daughter, she would be happy to be her ancestor.
Old Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "The family is not about the wealth, the wealth, the noble and humble life are all the time. You can see on your face. Although the He family is just a mediocre family, only looking at Old Mrs. He is still as beautiful as a man. Shen's family is over thirty years old, you can know that life is really smooth. He Zijin also celebrated the birthday of Mrs. Hu. Old Mrs. Hu asked her to step forward and smiled with her hand, "I am a big girl in a blink of an eye, and she is becoming more and more obedient and smart." Old Mrs. Hu rarely praises people for their appearance, but they all talk about temperament.
Grandma Hu had met He Zijin in the past, but two years later, the little girl back then was already a young and beautiful girl. Grandma Hu praised it first, "I knew that my sister was born well, and she was so big that she became more outstanding."
He Zijin smiled and said, "Grandma is so praiseworthy. You are so proud of yourself." Grandma Hu heard that her parents' family is also a scholar and has been studying since childhood.
Mr. Hu Er and Mrs. Hu Er are following Mr. Hu, who are officials from other places, and are not in their hometown. Chen Erniu's husband Hu Ning is ranked third in the Chen family's grandchildren. Therefore, Chen Erniu is Grandma Hu San in the Hu family. Chen Erniu stood behind Mrs. Chen Erniu, wearing big red clothes, was very festive, but his face was a little thin. The female members of the He family and the female members of the Hu family respectively met. Mrs. Hu Er was average, but Mrs. Hu San was particularly enthusiastic, especially when he looked at He Zijin.
It was particularly pleasing to the eyes, and praised him and praised him. He also asked He Zijin what books he read at home now. Finally, he said to He Zijin, "I like girls the most. There are sisters of the right age at home. We are not outside. We come and sit more often when we have time. It's okay to talk together." After that, he asked the maid to take two strings of red coral bracelets to He Zijin, and said with a smile, "It's just that I just remembered that my nephew brought them, and there are all girls and wives at home. One string is for you and one string is for the third girl."
He Zijin hurriedly thanked him. For a moment, the Chen family and his family also came, and the room suddenly became more lively. Xu Lengmei followed Aunt Chen, and her figure had not yet fully recovered after giving birth, and she was still a little plump. Aunt Chen also brought all her granddaughters who could take care of. It was not that she had any idea, but that she mainly wanted the granddaughters to go out more and see the world.
The Hu family is the first big family in Bishui County. There is no need to mention the lively birthday of Mrs. Hu. Fortunately, the Hu family has its own rules. He Zijin is in the group of girls, and she also has a familiar friend - Shi Jiafujie. The two of them have always been very good. This time, they sat in the same place and listened to opera. After using the mat at noon, they called at home and went home together.
Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shen had another appointment to talk. When she got home, it was already evening. When the third girl saw that Mrs. He came back, she hurried over to serve. While having tea, she said, "Everything is good, but there are too many people, and the show is not good."
He Zijin took out the coral bracelets to the third girl. The third girl laughed, "I actually got something, my sister will keep it myself."
He Zijin smiled, "I'm the best of my sister, given it to me by the third wife of the Hu family." He also told the third girl about the reason.
The third girl said, "I heard that Mrs. Hu San's father was an official in the Dali Temple of the imperial capital. Her nephew was selected as an official of the Shu Prince's Mansion. Now she is working in the Shu Prince's Mansion. Since she gives it to her, we will take it away." Mrs. Hu San is the wife of the Hu family's housekeeper. The Hu family can pass through Mrs. Hu Er and call Mrs. Hu San's housekeeper. The third girl doesn't know why here, but it is true that Mrs. Hu San is better than Mrs. Hu Er.
Mrs. He has always had a good impression of generous people and smiled, "The third wife is good, but the second wife is not a kind person. I think Erniu has lost weight, and she looks better than when she was at her parents' home."
Shen smiled, "Maybe the old lady of the Hu family celebrates her birthday these days, Erniu is a granddaughter-in-law, and she doesn't help her. It's normal to be a little tired. Besides, the new wife in the first year is no better than when she was a daughter at her parents' home." When she first entered the He family, she had to fight with Mrs. He every day. When she had no children, she thought her belly was not moving, and when she gave birth to He Zijin, she thought she was a daughter. At that time, Shen cursed Mrs. He in her heart, so how dare she look forward to the current situation.
Old lady He nodded, "That's right." After thinking about it, she was happy again and smiled, "Third girl is so comfortable without a mother-in-law."
Shen hurriedly said, "Mother, don't say this in the Hu family, Mrs. Hu is so good." How could she say that the third girl has no mother-in-law?
"Didn't I forget this for a while?" After Shen reminded him, Mrs. He remembered Hu Wen's identity, and knew that he was in the wrong, and muttered, "These wealthy families are really troublesome. Wife and concubines are all dizzy." Mrs. He didn't have any objection to Mrs. Hu, but Mrs. Hu was quite mean to Hu Wen, and Mrs. He didn't think anything was wrong. The main reason was that Mrs. He felt that the existence of a concubine was inconsistent with the wife and concubines. Moreover, she was a little confused about the configuration of the wealthy families, and felt that whoever gave birth to the children was the one who gave birth to the children. But in terms of etiquette, the children born to the concubine were not the concubines. The mother of the concubine was legally the mother of the concubine in the future was the legitimate mother, not the concubine. Like Hu Wen, he would become an official in the future. Even if his mother was alive, he would still be the legitimate mother. The difference between wives and concubines was such a difference.
The He family talked about the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Hu family at home. Aunt Chen returned home and sent all the daughter-in-law, granddaughters and granddaughters. She left Mrs. Chen alone to speak without even taking a sip of tea and said directly, "Do you think Erniu has lost weight?"
How could Mrs. Chen not notice it? This is her own daughter. Because of her daughter's complexion, Mrs. Chen did not eat the meal at noon and hurriedly said, "I was thinking about sending someone to see Erniu in a few days."
Aunt Chen said, "Erniu has been married for half a year, and her belly has not moved. The child is God's will, but it's just that fate is not good. It's just a newlywed couple. I see her appearance, why isn't she as charming as a new wife? Don't send someone to her. After the birthday party of the old lady of the Hu family, you can go and see her in person." It doesn't matter what the new wife looks like. Just when it was time to mix oil in honey, I thought that Shen was not happy with Mrs. He when he first entered the door, and he suffered a lot of difficulties. Shen's complexion made Mrs. He hatefully call "vix spirit". Chen Erniu often sends his wife to deliver things at home, but he has never heard of anything wrong, so why is he so haggard?
Aunt Chen was very worried about Chen Erniu, let alone Mrs. Chen Er, and wished she could fly to Hu's house immediately. When Mrs. Chen Er heard her mother-in-law say this, she couldn't help but say, "Is it because Erniu was wronged in his house?"
Aunt Chen frowned and said, "Don't say this kind of thing first. You go and ask Erya first. If there is no better, you can calm your heart down first and see what's going on."
