He also realized that he had gained a lot of benefits from Cui Tong's sentence, so he promised again that he would send two more girls to him if he had a good girl.
Cui Tong refused and said with a smile, "I'm satisfied with the company of mengxiang and Meilian. You'd better keep those little girls and give them to the big people who need them later."
Deng Jingu said thanks again. Knowing that Meilian and mengxiang were highly valued by him, he was also willing to follow the flow and said, "it happened that I came to Fucheng to buy some headgear. When I first bought them, I thought that these two girls came from my home and were closer than others. So I prepared a set of pearls for each of them Silver head face, prepared a set of ruby and Golden Peacock head face for Mrs. Cui. "
When he said this, he motioned his men to present the jewelry boxes.
Cui Tong Yuan took a look and was very satisfied. He motioned his servant to take it over and ordered the servant to send it to the three people.
When Deng Jingu saw that he had arranged for someone to deliver these things, he lowered his eyelids slightly to hide his joy. Cui Tongfen didn't know that mengxiang and Meilian had already fallen in love with Deng Jingu. Although they were given away, they had always been Deng Jingu.
Deng Jingu arranged such a play for the purpose of sneaking through Chen Cang. There were hidden squares in the headgear box. There were hundreds of taels of silver in each box. The forehead was only fifty taels or ten taels.
In order to make it convenient for them to act and spend a lot of money, they can only find out more about Cui Tongtan, good or bad.
He likes to take the initiative in his own hands more and more, even if the other party is liupin mingguan.
...
it was December 27 when the Lin and Su families came back from Fucheng.
In the end, God couldn't help but clean up the earth. There was a lot of silver makeup everywhere. Lin Anxin tightened his tight cloak and added a lot of carbon to the carbon basin in the bullock cart. Even if he tried so hard, he still couldn't stop the invasion of cold. Somehow, Lin Anxin always felt that the ancient winter was so cold.
She shrank in her thick rabbit fur cloak and squeezed tightly together with Su Wanping. They held a small hand stove in their hands and let out a "ouch" from time to time.
Lin an couldn't help complaining: "every winter, I hate to go out by car, and the road is too difficult."
A big pit is connected with several small pits. From time to time, the wheels sink into the mud. The coachman has to ask the women to help them find something to cushion the wheels, and then push the car out of the mud pit.
As a result, a lot of efforts were delayed on the way. They started from the county in the early morning and arrived at home in the third shift.
Fortunately, the gatekeeper had a light sleep. Liu Sanniang sent her mother-in-law to call for the door for a while. The gatekeeper finally got up and opened the door. When she saw that it was her two mistresses who had come back, she was so scared that the sleepers immediately disappeared.
Lin Qingshan and Deng Jinchai did not sleep. When they heard that their mother-in-law was coming, they ran to the front yard to meet each other.
"Mother, sister, you are back."
Obviously, Lin Qingshan is really worried.
Liu Sanniang replied with a smile: "originally, I was planning to get home before dinner. Who knows that when I got out of the county, the more I went home, the more difficult the road was. We all wondered if it had been raining heavily for several days?"
"Exactly. My daughter-in-law and the head of the family have been worried all the time. I don't know if you'll be all right when you come back." Deng Jinchai answered in good time.
Lin Anxin said with a smile: "before, it was just rain and snow, and I could see the road clearly. Later, there was a vast expanse of white everywhere. I really suffered a lot of dark losses. I couldn't see where there was a pit or where there was no pit. The car sank in from time to time, which delayed a lot of time."
Lin Qingshan saw that they were so cold that he had already asked his servants to go to the front hall and make three big bonfires. He urged several people to sit in the front hall and warm up.
Deng Jinchai asked people to make a few cups of hot tea for everyone to drink, and then asked people to carry a basket of charcoal.
Burn three carbon pots.
Liu Sanniang didn't mention why she was frightened. Lin Anxin just lowered her head to eat delicious sesame bean tea, and asked people to take all the brocade, jade pendant and headdress she bought in Fucheng and give them to Deng Jinchai, including Liu Sanniang and Lin Anxin.
Deng Jinchai had always regretted that she could not go with her colleagues. Now she was in a better mood when she saw these precious things.
Although she never went with her, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law never forgot her.
"Big brother, has the third brother ever written a letter back home?"
Lin Qingshan said with a smile: "the day you left, his letter came. He said that he would come back for the new year. He said in his letter that he would go with Jun Yang. He estimated that the letter was home, and others would soon be home."
Lin Anxin frowned slightly and said, "it's December 27 now!"
If she remembers correctly, this year is new year's Eve on December 29.
In other words, the Chinese new year will come in the future.
Liu Sanniang guessed: "maybe we'll leave the city on the front foot, and they'll arrive on the back foot."
"Niang said is also, Jun Yang elder brother if came back, Du tube matter, impossible don't know."In fact, Liu Sanniang's words are true. They left Fucheng that day. Su junyang and Lin Qingsong arrived at Fucheng that evening. When they heard that their mother and sister had just left, they could not help wringing their wrists. If they had delayed one day on the way, they would have seen their families earlier.
People together said for a while, also can only guess, from time to time, then and girl to urge several masters to sleep.
The next day, Lin Anxin wakes up as soon as she gets up. Ailian is staying in her room to embroider. Seeing that she wakes up, she calls her mother-in-law to help her get hot water. Listening to Quan and Aiqing wiping the dust outside, she puts down her work and goes to wait on Lin Anxin to wash.
Ai Qing went to the kitchen and brought her breakfast. She said with a smile, "the eldest daughter-in-law gave orders early in the morning. Don't let the servants wake up the girl. She said that she must be very tired after bumping all the way. Let the girl sleep a little longer."
"My sister-in-law has always been considerate." Lin Anxin sat down at the table and had a look at breakfast. There was a big bowl of fragrant millet porridge, a plate of steamed buns, two fried sweet potato cakes, a brown sugar glutinous rice Baba, and a small plate of pickles, a small plate of hot pepper and radish.
"That's enough, girl?" Ai Qing asked her.
Lin Anxin replied with a smile: "enough."
Listen to spring waiting for her to eat, love fine and will hear the news to tell Lin Anxin.
"Girl, I heard that Deng Jinling, the second married man, went back to her mother's house crying."
"Really?" Lin Anxin's appetite suddenly opened up when he heard the speech.
She first asked Tingquan to fill a bowl of millet porridge, and then asked Aiqing to continue.
"What's going on?"
"Hey, what else can I do? In the past, she thought pan Erlang was good at everything. Now, she thinks it's the same as Tuo Niu dung. She says that the pan family bullied her and that Pan Erlang is not a thing. In the final analysis, it's not because pan Erlang didn't give up his original mate. After a long time, she still had to support the three people. But Deng Jinling was so angry that she didn't want to give it Lang said, that's OK, it's OK not to give the Yellow faced woman, but the two little ones are his own. They can't eat spicy food by themselves. Let the two little ones be hungry. If they really don't give the two little ones food, can't they even raise their parents? Let's take care of it. The two old people are reluctant to give up their two great grandchildren. They would rather starve themselves than their two little grandchildren. "
Lin Anxin was more and more happy when he heard that, and then asked: "what you said is human nature, and no one can escape. Deng Jinling has to make it by herself and live a comfortable life. However, she has to marry into such a family, and the original match has made no mistake. She has to squeeze into the middle of the couple, pan Erlang's parents. I guess she is right for his daughter-in-law Extremely satisfied. "
"Yes, I heard that although the two old men didn't know what to say about Deng Jinling, they were always biased towards the other side. Moreover, they often encouraged pan Erlang to use the copper plate from Deng Jinling. Otherwise, Deng Jinling would cry back to his mother's house."
Lin Anxin said with a sneer: "she asked for it. I don't know that the second daughter-in-law of the pan family has enough money on hand. It's all right. Aiqing, you can ask the old lady to send her another hanging of money. Remember, you can't call the old lady stupid. You have to keep an eye on her secretly."
Ai Qing smiles and pats her chest.
"However, it's not enough to see such a thing. Why do I want to see Deng Jinling beat and scold her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and despise the two old people as idle people?"
She just said it casually. Ai Qing kept it in mind. She was ready to ponder over it for the second daughter-in-law of the pan family to understand what it meant.
Lin Anxin then said: "just, just, Deng Jinling hasn't given birth to a baby for that family, and her heart is still floating in the air. If she makes too much noise at this time, she will think of leaving again. Although Deng's aunt has said hard words, as long as she comes back crying and wronged, she will blow up her hair and won't find a place for her daughter."
She didn't want to give Deng Jinling a happy life. Sometimes, it was more painful to live than to die. But Deng Jinling was reluctant to commit suicide. Therefore, she was afraid that she would have to live until she was old.
Listen to spring smile way: "girl love to see a play, love fine, why don't you no longer think of a way, let there more can chicken fly dog jump some."
Ai Qing replied with a smile, "I'll think about it later."
"By the way, are you still alive next door these days?" Lin an thought to go out for several days, also don't know next door can have make a noise.
"It's not the same as usual. The little lady is supported by the girl. Now she's full of confidence. She can tear her face directly. The maid went outside in the morning and just met the little lady cooking porridge for the master. The maid talked to her for a while. The master wanted to make trouble, but the master didn't care. The master would only pick and pull in the dark, and he would take it It's very useful for the master. The stepdaughter-in-law is young. The old lady always keeps a close eye on him and doesn't let him have a few words with the stepdaughter-in-law. Therefore, it's always the old lady and the little lady who fight against each other. "
Lin Anxin nodded and asked, "what have you done these days?"
Xiao Fang is a good person. Since she came in, Lin Anxin would let Liu Sanniang know what she did.She listened more, and gradually relaxed her mood. She was no longer as unwilling as she used to be.
