Chapter 226 Extra Story 6 Locking Incense Sandalwood (2)
,,,,,,,,,,
Go to my husband.r?a? ?nw?en? ?.
?r?a?n?w?e?na `?"Let him decide for himself." The old man only said this lightly.
During those days, my aunt kept crying and pleading with my brother. I could basically guess what she said.
The eldest uncle is frail, and the eldest brother is also in poor health, and has not yet been able to survive. The eldest brother has only his younger brother to rely on.
As for our second wife’s father, not only are they young and powerful, but they also have a prosperous official career, and their descendants are Sun Fanmao. If anything happens in the future... my husband was also the second wife at the time.
Finally, my younger brother was convinced. He went to his father-in-law with a depressed expression and said personally, "I am willing to marry a girl from the Han family."
The old man's face didn't waver at all, he smiled and said: "Okay, grandpa will ask someone to propose marriage to you."
Everyone filed away, and I was the last one. I wanted to take away the little girl who was sleeping next door. Before going out, I clearly heard a low bitter smile and a gentle sigh - "It's like this again... It's like this again."
…”
I quickly turned around and saw that my husband was holding a scroll in front of the window with one hand, but his eyes were looking at the scenery outside the window. A sadness suddenly appeared on his usually calm face, as if he had lost something beautiful that could never be regained.
Many years later, even my elders were able to propose marriage. Four great-aunts, two great-uncles, and my grandmother also passed away. Finally, my grandfather passed away.
The pillar of the Sheng family collapsed, and the old man stood in the mourning hall for a long time, looking lonely, but not sad at all, as if he was mourning not a good friend, but his first youth.
Because of my grandfather's outstanding achievements, the Holy Father ordered the two emperors to carry the coffin during the funeral, which was truly a moment of honor and favor.
The grand funeral exhausted the whole family's energy. I went back to my parents' home to visit my aunt who was ill. As usual, we had nothing to say.
Just when I was about to say goodbye, my aunt suddenly said: "Did you know? In fact, during the Lantern Festival that year, Master Qi wanted to hire you as his granddaughter-in-law as soon as he saw you. But the master refused, saying that if the girl is not good, what will happen to her best friend's family?
Do it. In the following years, I kept watching you secretly and felt that you were honest and honest, so I finally agreed to the marriage."
I was shocked.
On my way home, I seriously thought about this issue for the first time.
Why did my husband like me so much in the first place? Some people understand it vaguely, but some people can’t figure it out. Forget it, don’t think about it. If you think too much, you will easily be unable to eat.
After my good friend passed away, my husband also gradually aged. By the end of the following year, the doctor bluntly told me: "It's time to prepare for the funeral."
Both the uncle and the father-in-law were very sad and couldn't help but choked up. No matter how much disagreement they had between brothers, they really respected and loved their father.
"My eldest brother and I have agreed that after father...passes away..." the father-in-law continued with difficulty, and then said to his mother-in-law, "we will separate our families. It's time for my son to go out and experience things. I found him a wife."
Let go and ask your daughter-in-law to go with you. We will raise our grandchildren in the capital."
My mother-in-law is also getting older and is becoming kinder day by day. She was not dissatisfied after hearing this and said with a gentle smile: "This is good. I told my sister-in-law that we can live closer together in the future so that we can take care of her."
I understand. My father-in-law and my mother-in-law have completely given up. They have given up their title and title in exchange for a peaceful family and harmonious brotherhood.
My husband slowly pulled me back to the house and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work these years. There are many rules at home and things are complicated. When we get outside, we can go out for an outing, go boating on the lake..."
He pressed his lips to my ear and said warmly, "I can add another little monkey."
My face became hot, and I laughed and cursed in a low voice: "Bad guy."
In front of my father-in-law's hospital bed, my uncle and father-in-law told my father their decision together.
The old man understood the meaning and nodded with a weak smile, "...Okay...you two brothers can think for yourself...very good..."
The old man's arms slowly hung down beside the bed. They were once slender and beautiful, but now they are weak and old.
Except for the ancestral property of the Duke's Mansion, the meritorious field, and the sacrificial field, the rest of the family property was divided into two, and the two old aunts also had their own support. No one had any objections throughout the process.
After the funeral, Aunt Ding held a small box and handed it to me with a sad smile: "My husband told me to give this to my second grandma. It's not a valuable thing. It's just a thought."
She paused and couldn't help but add, with tears in her eyes: "My husband sent it out originally, but it was a pity that it was returned." After saying this, she realized that she had talked too much and hurriedly resigned.
This is a small wooden box, with an ancient copper lock, exquisite mother-of-pearl, and golden rosewood. Even after more than a year, it still exudes a bright brilliance and a faint fragrance.
I opened it slowly and found a pair of clay dolls inside.
I am not unfamiliar with this thing. I had a few of Wuxi's big Afu clay dolls when I was a child, but the production was not as exquisite as these two, and they all looked like they were custom-made.
A male doll and a female doll, dressed in festive red clothes, chubby and honest. Unfortunately, it has been a long time, and most of the bright glaze color has fallen off. It seems to be often held in the palm of the hand and gently rubbed, and the face and body are blurred.
In the play room, I turned over the two dolls and found faint writing on the bottom. The female doll had 'Xiao Liu' written on the bottom, and the male doll had 'Xiao Er' written on the bottom.
The ink is gray and light, it must have been written decades ago, and the handwriting is vaguely clear and beautiful.
There was a dull pain in my heart, and I thought, had the person who received these two clay dolls ever seen these four words?
I put the clay doll back into the box, then quietly walked to the study, hugged my husband from behind, and rubbed the back of his neck with my cheek. My husband put down the file in his hand, hugged me and sat in his arms, saying with a smile: "
What's wrong, I want the little monkey again."
I stared at him blankly for a long time, then suddenly said: "Hey, Qi Xiaoer."
The husband-in-law was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "You are making mischief again."
This was a nickname they used as a joke when they were newly married. He suddenly became stubborn and nodded his wife's nose, "Hey, Sheng Xiaoliu."
I suddenly felt sad and tears welled up in my eyes. I hugged my husband tightly and said softly, "Yes."
Qi Xiaoer and Sheng Xiaoliu will be together forever in this generation.
