Three days later, Yu Xiu returned home with her husband in great splendor. Because Mrs. Zhu’s stepson was getting married, Mr. Zhu was afraid of losing face and was released to arrange the marriage. Mrs. Zhu, who was suspected of killing his stepson by Mr. Zhu, was here. I didn’t dare to be suspected of being a harsh stepson anymore, so I prepared a lot of homecoming gifts.
Looking at the pile of gifts being unloaded from the carriage, Feng couldn't help but feel how beautiful they were, especially when she saw the "golden pig".
"Come on, come on, why are you bringing so many gifts? We will be a family from now on, so we can't be so polite anymore!" Mrs. Feng couldn't help but want to touch those gorgeous silks and satins, while saying politely : "Since my son-in-law is so polite and even sent me golden pigs, why don't you give some to the neighbors on the left and right, so that they can see what a good son-in-law we have, and feel happy at the same time." The golden pig is roasted from a suckling pig, which requires the use of a variety of seasonings and is very demanding on the heat. Only a few big restaurants in the county can make it. It costs several taels of silver to customize one, but only wealthy families can make it. It would be given as a gift when returning home, which also represents the husband's family's affirmation of the daughter-in-law and the respect for the daughter-in-law's natal family. Only for this one item, few people in the village can match it. It was enough for Ms. Feng to be proud for a while, and she can't blame Ms. Feng. So happy!
"Hey, I'll do it right now. Our sister-in-law has got such a good uncle, so I have to show off and show off..." Yang was the quickest to answer the question. She spoke very eloquently and even praised her generously. The shameless Young Master Zhu couldn’t bear it anymore!
"How dare you praise me like this from my sister-in-law!"
"Haha, your elder brother-in-law has been talking about you a long time ago and is waiting in the study. You should go quickly. I see that you have never met each other, but you are closer than brothers!" Yang said. Hui didn't know that this brother-in-law, whom she had a crush on, had taken her husband-in-law to a brothel, otherwise he would have been kicked out.
"Well, my brother-in-law is a very talented person. I fell in love with him at first sight and admire him very much." Young Master Zhu has been sweet since he was a child. Otherwise, he would not be able to coax the old lady of the Zhu family to pamper him. If such a big mistake happened, even him would be affected. Even his stepmother was imprisoned, but he just sold the maids and servants around him and went to his grandfather's house easily. Finally, he successfully married the daughter of the "farming and studying heirloom". Although the Li family's foundation is still shallow now, But there are already two scholars in the family, one of whom is still a scholar at the age of fifteen. Every teacher in the county school praises him as "a child can be taught" and thinks highly of him. Who dares to say that? Will the Li family be underdeveloped in the future? Once someone from the Li family becomes an official, the Zhu family will not be worthy of it. Although there is no discrimination against businessmen like the previous dynasty, and businessmen can still go to school and take the exam to become officials, the Zhu family Although he is rich, he has been doing business for generations and spent an unknown amount of money without cultivating a scholar to change his appearance. This is why Mr. Zhu agreed to this marriage.
Mr. Zhu knew in his heart that this eldest son was being raised. If the Li family could climb higher in the future, the Zhu family would benefit from the in-law relationship. If not, he would be a raised son who is not easy to get married to. , I have many sons, and when the time comes, I can choose a capable son to be the head of the family, and I will not suffer any loss. Businessmen are naturally the most calculating, and I will not suffer any loss.
After meeting his parents-in-law, Young Master Zhu went directly to talk to his brother-in-law. Mrs. Feng took the opportunity to pull her daughter into the room.
"How is my uncle treating you? Does anyone in the family bully you? How is your step-mother-in-law?"
"Mom, how do you ask me to answer such a long list of questions? Zhu Lang treats me very well. Even the great-grandmother likes me. There is no maidservant in the room. Zhu Lang said that before we got married, They have all been sent away. As for my step-mother-in-law, she is a grasshopper after the fall. Now she doesn’t dare to do anything to me. She doesn’t even dare to let me do the rules you mentioned. Look, I did what I did before. That father-in-law has completely despised her!" Yuxiu said with a sweet smile, the golden steps on her head flashed, and she wore a dress made of bright red lake silk, which made her look particularly charming and flamboyant. The beauty comes.
"That's good, that's good. After you left home, I couldn't sleep well every day. I was afraid that there was something going on between you and your husband, as was rumored at first." Before Feng could finish asking, Yu Xiu blushed with embarrassment.
"Mom, what you are asking is just a rumor, isn't it? We are very good!" Since Mr. Zhu got married at the age of fourteen and tasted the good things, he often went in and out of Huajie and Liuxiang. It was a love scene. Master, it is not easy to deal with Yuxiu who is ignorant of human affairs. In addition, after that incident, his roommate and the beautiful young boy were all killed. He spent more than half a year cultivating himself, that is, spending those few days with the two My brother-in-law had an affair, and Yuxiu had a unique charm. For a while, the two of them were inseparable.
"Haha, Mom, I won't ask anymore, but you have to hold on to my uncle, and give birth to a son as soon as possible and you won't be afraid of anything. Your mother-in-law should also be careful, don't take it lightly, and pay more attention to your mother-in-law. ,," Mrs. Feng was still a little worried and taught her daughter over and over how to behave as a wife and daughter-in-law.
After a while, the sisters-in-law of the Li family, the two sisters Xia He and the sisters Zizhen all came over.
"Look at our sister-in-law, her complexion is getting better and better!" Yang, who was still good at talking, started the conversation.
"What my sister-in-law said is nonsense. The Zhu family is rich and well-fed and well-housed. How can they look bad? If my sister-in-law is envious, ask her to help Zizhen find one. Our Zizhen looks like this. The first daughter of Lao Li's family is also the daughter of a scholar, so why worry about not finding a better one? By then, maybe more than one uncle will come to propose marriage without saying hello!" Dongmei was envious in her heart and said sarcastically. .Her feud with Yuxiu was not just because of the amount of dowry. It had been there since she was a child. Before the Feng family had no chance to give birth to twins, Dongmei was also extremely favored as a young girl, but since she After giving birth to a pair of twin siblings at the age of eight, Dongmei became a little transparent. The contrast between the front and back was too big, but Dongmei was not as good looking as Yuxiu, her mouth was not as sweet as Yuxiu, and even her name was not as nice as Yuxiu's. The old man was like They are like natural enemies, each dislikes the other.
"You..." Yuxiu was exposed to something scandalous, and her face was red with anger or embarrassment.
"What are you talking about? Today is a great day for your sister to come home. If you still talk about things that you don't have or don't have, if you continue to talk nonsense, get out of here!" Mrs. Feng felt that her second daughter was getting more and more stupid as she lived. I don’t know what to think about a man who can’t catch me. He comes to her mother’s house every day to enjoy the autumn breeze, and he also knows how to tease his sister.
"Oh, after I get married, there won't be room for me in this family, right? In your heart, you are the only daughter who has married well, right?" Dongmei cried with grievance.
"Meizi, please stop saying a few words. What did our mother mean? The palms and backs of these hands are not all flesh," Xia He advised, but was interrupted by Dong Mei.
"My mother is not in pain. Isn't third brother the least popular since childhood? Hahaha, now there is another me. I say you girls should keep your eyes open and find someone who can compare with you."
It belongs to your little aunt, otherwise you will be looked down upon when you go back to your parents' house!" Dongmei said mockingly, wiping away her tears.
Everyone in the room felt very embarrassed. Everyone knew that these three bedrooms had no status in the family, but it was different to say it openly.
Seeing that Mrs. Feng's face turned pale with anger, Xia He scolded: "You haven't woken up yet, Mei Zi. Go out with sister and wake up before you come back!" After saying that, he pulled Xia He and left.
After a while, Mrs. Liu took Yuezhen away on the pretext of feeding the third child, and the atmosphere in the room became better.
"I don't know where this Cui'er has gone, and I don't know how to have a cup of tea after such a long time! Hehe, now that you have reached the age of getting married, you should dress up well. I bought some headdresses for you.
, come and see if you like it, everyone has it!" After saying that, he opened a jewelry box and saw that it was filled with various colored beads and some exquisite silver jewelry.
"There's no one who wouldn't like what my sister-in-law gave her!" Zizhen said with a smile. Not everyone is so lucky. Feng is in charge of the family's finances and would give her a piece of jewelry every year. She would often buy a beaded flower to make.
Not to mention most of the jewelry in Liu's dowry fell into her hands. Neither Yang nor Xiao Feng had rich dowries, and they didn't have many pieces of jewelry themselves. How could they give them to their daughters? Even if they had, they would not
We must first consider passing it on to our future daughters-in-law. Therefore, Zizhen and the others often use old jade-embroidered headbands, bead flowers, and silver-covered jewelry (real silver, and jade-embroidered ones are reluctant to part with them).
Mrs. Feng's face improved when she saw several girls chattering about choosing jewelry.
In preparation for her daughter's return, Mrs. Feng specially prepared two tables with good food and wine, including stewed chicken with mushrooms, braised rabbit, stewed pork belly, whole fish, braised wild lamb with radish, cabbage stew, spicy stir-fried roe deer and more.
Dishes. Liu's craftsmanship is good. Since it is for entertaining guests, he pays special attention to the beautiful presentation. It can be said that the dishes are full of color, flavor and flavor.
Several children came home late because of Yuxiu, so they were hungry for a long time waiting for this meal. It is extremely difficult to eat such good food on weekdays, so they all ate deliciously. Dafang, Xiahe and Sanfang
The children of Erfang and Dongmei actually got into fights while they were eating, and both of them cried in the end.
Yuxiu suddenly felt extremely shameless. She loved face, so she didn't tell Feng everything. Although the Zhu family was a businessman, they were very strict about rules. What Feng had learned at her master's house was not useful at all. Her dinner table
I almost made a few jokes in school, and was ridiculed by my stepmother's sister-in-law. At that time, she also said that her family was a scholar's home, and they also respected rules, but now her husband saw the joke, and his pretty face turned red.
I was blushing. Looking at the blue brick house that I was quite proud of before, I felt a little disgusted for the first time in my heart. I just wanted to go back to the wealthy family as soon as possible.
After finishing the meal, Yuxiu left on the pretext that the Zhu family was far away.
