Chapter 1155: Adoptive Mother
Just as Wei De was worried, the Yao family heard about this family affair and reprimanded his son and daughter-in-law severely.
But the family matter was mentioned by Wen Jie himself, and the Cao family agreed, and even Xiaoding's words were finalized, and the old man could only sulk by himself.
Although He was a little weak-hearted, he was a little unimpressed.
Although Wen Huang is from the Wei family in Jiangning, he is a concubine and an orphan, but he has a famous person. Lingzhi is talented and good-looking, and there is a dowry that is not shabby, and it is also worthy of the above Jie.
After seeing Xiaoding's gift, a gold-inlaid jade collar, a pair of dragon and phoenix gold bracelets, a pair of beaded hairpins, and a pair of gemstone rings, He thought it was prepared by the Cao family, and said to Chu Yu, who came with Wenzhi, that he was bothered.
That's right, this time it was Chu Yu who came forward to the city as an elder to make a decision.
Although he was not satisfied with this family business, Cao Hao still had to fulfill the responsibility of his parent, and originally wanted the husband and wife to go to the city together, but due to the limitations of his identity, even if he did not alarm the place, it was easy to fall into the eyes of people with a heart and lead to a lawsuit.
In the end, Chu Yu brought Wenzhi and Tianyou to Mancheng.
Two days in advance, Cao Hao sent people to Mancheng to write a letter, only saying what had been decided, and did not mention that Chu Yu would go over in person.
On the Wei family's side, they thought that Cao Hao and his wife would ask the housekeeper and servant to come over, but they didn't expect that it was the governor's wife who came in person, so they were a little careful.
Wen Jie was also very moved, but also a little regretful.
In Wen Jie's previous letter to the capital, he invited Gui Niang to Mancheng to preside over the decision.
According to the custom, the man's mother goes to the woman's house to make a small decision and give it to the future daughter-in-law.
Gui Niang refused to leave Beijing under the pretext of taking care of Wen Qiang, also thinking of her identity, and her name was not right, for fear of embarrassing Wen Jie.
Gui Niang did her duty, but Chu Yu didn't want to wronged her.
Seeing that He Shi was looking at these fixed gifts with a smile, obviously extremely satisfied, she said: "This is all sent from the capital, and it was prepared by Wenjie's adoptive mother. After all, she is the eldest daughter-in-law, so it can be seen that she is on the heart. ”
He Shi listened, but was stunned.
She knew that the Wenjie brothers and sisters were taken care of by Wei Wu's aunt, and she didn't take it to heart. But listening to the meaning of the governor's wife, she actually regarded that aunt as Wenjie's adoptive mother.
Although the adoptive mother and the concubine mother are both mothers, the amount is different.
I don't know if it's the aunt's pride, or if it's the truth.
If the aunt prides herself, you can ignore it; If this is the case, and the concubine becomes the adoptive mother, wouldn't there be an extra mother-in-law above the niece?
She looked at the Wenjie brothers who were sitting at their heads, and saw that the two brothers had no intention of refutating, so she felt bad in her heart, and said vaguely: "When I was in Jiangning in my early years, I heard that the fifth uncle was capable and made a fortune in Guangzhou, and his family was really rich. ”
Da Xi said, mentioning Wei Xin, who has "passed away", Wen Jie and Wen Zhi brothers are a little sentimental.
Yao Taijun is reluctant to cling to the wealth, although there are distinguished guests, they have only seen it according to the courtesy, and everything is handed over to the daughter-in-law for reception.
Unexpectedly, the daughter-in-law spoke upside down, and the old man had to come forward and praise Wenjie and Wenzhi twice for Guiniang's loyalty and righteousness, telling the two brothers to remember the grace of nurturing and be filial to their adoptive mother in the future.
Wen Jie and Wen Zhi stood up and listened, and promised in unison.
He was beside him, but his face changed.
Although they are relatives of the Wei family, they are now acting as the maiden family of the woman. Now the old lady's words, even if the mother's side recognizes Gui Niang's adoptive mother's identity, Lingzhi will have to give her daughter-in-law tea when she passes through the door.
Chu Yu was beside him, and seeing that the old lady was so sensible, he had a little respect for the old lady.
Today's statement of "adoptive mother" is not Chu Yu's words, the husband and wife have discussed it before.
Needless to say, the Wenjie brothers and sisters have long regarded Gui Niang as their mother, but from the perspective of outsiders, Gui Niang is just a concubine and a concubine from a servant.
If the daughter-in-law she marries, relying on her identity, snubbing Gui Niang, not only Gui Niang will be wronged, but also cause dissatisfaction among Wen Jie's brothers and sisters, and make the family uneasy.
After getting along in the past few years, Cao Hao and Chu Yu also saw that Gui Niang treats Wenjie's brothers and sisters as if they were her own and has a respectable character. Perhaps this is also the reason why Wei Xin entrusted several children to her to take care of.
This He Lingzhi looks weak and obedient now, but if he really wants to marry into the Wei family, it is difficult to say how to get along with Gui Niang.
Wen Jie is young after all, and he would not have thought of this. Chu Yu looked at the small set prepared by Gui Niang, and thought that the bride was in an awkward situation when she entered the door, so she mentioned it to her husband.
In Cao Hao's view, nurturing grace is not weaker than giving birth, if you don't know gratitude, you are a beast.
So, after discussing the two couples who don't like trouble, they also decided to have more trouble and meddle in the family affairs of the Wei family.
Where Gui Niang puts herself is Gui Niang's choice, but she can't let the juniors humiliate her.
Chu Yu was originally sympathetic to Gui Niang, and in order to eliminate the uneasiness that might arise in the house, he said this sentence more; Yao Taijun breathed a sigh of relief, the old man was the most grateful, of course, he would not be limited by his reputation, so he despised Gui Niang.
In He's opinion, it was Chu Yu who relied on his identity to raise the widow of the Wei family and suppress her niece.
Although she was annoyed in her heart, she didn't dare to be presumptuous even if her mother-in-law spoke, but the smile on her face became stiff, and she looked at Chu Yu's gaze with a little jealousy.
Who hasn't seen Chu Yu?
It's just that he knew that He felt sorry for his niece, and Chu Yu didn't care about it, but he didn't speculate, and he was relatively speechless, so he had to ask about Lingzhi.
Yao Taijun knew that this was to insert Lingzhi, and said to Wei Wenjie with a smile: "Didn't your uncle just ask your brother to speak, hurry up." ”
Wei Wenjie got up and answered, resigned from several elders with his younger brother, and retreated.
Out of the door, Wenzhi put down his steps and said in a low voice: "Brother, always let my younger brother take a look at my sister-in-law, my younger brother will return to Beijing, and my aunt and sister will ask about it, and it is not good to ask three questions." After inserting it, I am afraid that I will see it when the sedan chair enters the door. ”
Although Wen Jie didn't answer, he slowed down with Wen Zhi and circled around the door of the upper room.
When the maid invited He Lingzhi over, she happened to meet the two brothers.
He Lingzhi saw that there was a foreign man, and he hurriedly lowered his head and wanted to retreat, Wen Jie hurriedly said: "Cousin, this is my second brother, I came from the capital to ......."
Wenzhi wanted to see his sister-in-law before, but he just wanted to find an opportunity to peek a few times, and go back to describe it to his aunt and sister-in-law, but he didn't want to bump into it.
How to call this, Wenzhi is a little entangled. The two of them are the same Geng, but they don't know the size of the month.
He Lingzhi had already blessed his body, and said, "I've seen my second cousin." ”
Wenzhi could only say, "I've seen my cousin." ”
After seeing it, He Lingzhi lowered his head, confessed his sin, and helped the maid to go to the upper room.
Wen Zhi glanced at He Lingzhi's figure, his brows furrowed slightly, and when he turned his head, he couldn't see the clue.
Wen Jie looked at Wen Zhi a little nervously and asked in a low voice, "How?" ”
Wenzhi couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, if he didn't talk about kissing, he, as a younger brother, could still say a few words; It's all a small decision, and if you ask him how he is, won't he become an uncle and a sister-in-law.
"Haha, the vision of the eldest brother is naturally good." Wen Zhi laughed twice and said.
Wen Jie turned his head and looked at the upper room, in addition to joy, he was also a little apprehensive...... * In the upper room, Chu Yu had already given He Lingzhi the gift of Xiaoding.
He Lingzhi has been removed, but Wei Wenjie will enter the Lotus Academy next year, so the wedding date will be roughly discussed at the end of next year.
Thirty miles of road, the carriage ride is only an hour and a half thing, after the insertion, Chu Yu was accompanied by Yao Taijun and He, had lunch, and then returned to Qingyuan.
Although he was a family relative, Wen Zhi was not familiar with Wei De's family, so he politely refused his brother's stay and returned to Qingyuan with Chu Yu.
The longevity festival is approaching, and the birthday gift prepared by Cao Hao must be transported back to the capital one step ahead and passed through the Ministry of Rites.
Cao Hao left Wenzhi to stay in the Governor's Palace, planning to arrange for Tianyou to go to Beijing with Wenzhi.
Although Wen Zhi is from Wu, God bless a few of them from Wen, but because his surname is hearty, he gets along very well with the children.
From Wen Jie's experience, Chu Yu was afraid that Wen Zhi would also say that he was married, so he discussed with her husband whether to ask Sister Lianqiu and Niuniu what they meant. If you want, it's better to marry the two children as soon as possible.
I really feel sorry for Niuniu, and I am reluctant to talk about others.
Cao Hao also knows that in this world, it is not easy for a woman, and it is even more difficult to be a daughter-in-law. If they marry someone else's family, even if they are distressed, it will be difficult for them to speak.
Although he felt that Wenzhi was a little childish and not old enough, he was not worse than his brother.
Thinking of this, Cao Hao agreed.
Sister Lianqiu is very satisfied with Wei Wenzhi, since Wei Wenzhi is already under the door of King Zhuang's mansion, the future is very good.
It's just that Niuniu is a plain idea, and when she was a teenager, she was already in charge of the internal affairs of the Rong Courtyard, and the two sisters loved her like a treasure, and they were willing to follow her wishes in family affairs, so they said to Chu Yu that they should ask Niuniu what they meant first.
Chu Yu also thought so, and the three of them called Niuniu.
Unexpectedly, when Niuniu heard about her family affairs, she was not shy and twisted like other little girls, but was silent for a while, and Fang raised her head and said: "In this world, the righteousness of husband and wife may not last long, but the love of flesh and blood is constantly ...... for generations."
This is said in an old-fashioned manner, and Chu Yu and Sister Lianqiu are a little confused.
I heard Niuniu continue: "Sister-in-law, can you find an honest family to talk about family affairs for your aunt?" ”
Chu Yu and Lianqiu were stunned, Xiqiu was already blushing, and said angrily: "It's about your family affairs, how can you talk about me, you kid, this is disgusting aunt......"
Niuniu took a step forward, pulled Xiqiu's sleeve, and said: "Every time my aunt sees Tianbao, I can't open my eyes, and I don't like to let go when I hold it, even if Niuniu was a child, my aunt didn't do this...... My aunt is only thirty, and it is not difficult to have a child......"
When Xiqiu heard this, her eyes were red, and she hugged Niuniu and said, "Don't say it again, although you didn't come out of my belly, you were also raised by me, and you are also my child......"
Cherish the autumn and love the treasure, Chu Yu and the autumn also know everything, but they don't think about it.
The children in the house, Tianbao is the youngest, and everyone is a little biased, and Xiqiu's behavior is not eye-catching.
After listening to Niuniu's words, Chu Yu and Lianqiu thought that as a woman, Xiqiu likes children so much and has no own flesh and blood, what a cruel thing it is......* Cao Hao was very relieved when he heard this, and said to Chu Yu: "It seems that Niuniu has really grown up." ”
He didn't approve of Sister Lianqiu's widowhood, but compared with the comfort of the Cao family, there were too many changes outside, and Sister Lianqiu was unwilling to take this step, and only devoted herself to raising Niuniu, and Cao Hao could only follow them......
