Chapter 128 Han Jianye's Big Marriage (2)
The servant girl fetched two cushions and put them on the ground. Han Jianye and Lu Xiu held tea in both hands and handed it to the old lady.
The old lady took it, took two sips, and gave a pair of mandarin ducks and jade pendants as a meeting gift. The jade pendant was emerald green, and the color was very good, but it was more than one level worse than the one given to Mrs. Ye that day.
Yu Xi glanced at the jade pendant, and quickly lowered her head. Yuxi knew that the old lady didn't deliberately take these things as a meeting gift. It was really the night of the palace change that caused the old lady a lot of losses, and now the old lady's warehouse is still empty.
Grandpa Guo is a weirdo, his son didn't even want to come back when he got married, so Han Jianming went to the other courtyard himself and asked him to come back. But he went to another courtyard again yesterday, so the relatives he met this morning are naturally gone. In this regard, everyone is very calm. It would be great to have a promising wedding yesterday, but it doesn't matter if the relatives are there today.
After drinking this cup of daughter-in-law's tea, Qiu also gave her a meeting gift. A pair of Double Happiness Ruyi Suet Hosta, not particularly brilliant, but not shivering either.
Yuxi understood, she was afraid that the eldest aunt didn't want to go beyond the old lady, so she gave such a meeting gift.
The elders want to give a meeting gift, but these juniors are receiving a meeting gift. The meeting gifts Lu Xiu gave to their juniors were all purses embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns. As for what is in the purse, only I know.
Yuxi took the purse and said with a smile: "Thank you, Second Sister-in-law."
Lu Xiu knew that it was not a chance meeting in Lingshan that day, so she said with a smile: "Fourth sister is too polite." According to her mother, both her mother-in-law and her husband dote on Yu Xi very much, and her mother asked her to get on good terms with Yu Xi after she passed the house. In the future, in the mansion, there will also be someone who helps her.
After seeing the ceremony, it's time for breakfast. During breakfast, everyone sat down except Ye Shi and Lu Xiu. Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Lu Xiu mainly serve the old lady and Mrs. Qiu, as for the others, it is not their turn to serve them.
The old lady's special cook is gone, and the newly hired cook's cooking skills are more than a bit worse than the original cook's.
After breakfast, the crowd dispersed. When going out, looking at the second brother who was still outside the house, Yuxi smiled: "Second brother, I'll go back first." It goes without saying that the second brother must be waiting for his wife.
Han Jianye responded absently, his eyes still on the door curtain. Yuxi felt that it was thanks to her eldest aunt who was a kind-hearted person, and other mothers would not be happy to see their son being so clingy to the daughter-in-law who just passed the door!
Back in Taoranju, Zisu opened her purse. Two precious stones, two diamonds in the purse. Immediately, she was so shocked: "Girl, this meeting gift for the second niece is really heavy!"
Kufu was also a little surprised: "I heard that the Lu family has a rich family, but I didn't expect that my second daughter would have such a big fortune." These girls add up, how much money does it cost!
Yuxi said to the three girls: "Don't tell about this matter. If someone asks, just say that you put six Dongzhu." Although Dongzhu is precious, it can't compare with these things.
The three maids were not stupid, and immediately understood after hearing this: "What do you mean, this gift is unique?" If so, this matter really cannot be said.
Yu Xi said: "No matter how generous you are, it's impossible for everyone to give such a generous gift." The reason why Lu Xiu gave such a generous meeting gift was definitely not because they had seen each other before. In all likelihood, it was because the Lu family had inquired into their situation clearly and knew that the second brother loved her, so they gave such a generous meeting gift.
Kufu nodded to Bingmei: "That's true." These few things add up to thousands of taels of silver, no matter how rich the second daughter is, she would not spend it like this.
In the main courtyard, when Lu Xiu came out, she felt a little embarrassed when she saw Han Jianye. Han Jianye walked over with big strides,
Said: "Mother, I'll take Axiu back first."
Qiu said with a smile: "You guys go back!" The new daughter-in-law served her parents-in-law for dinner on the first day of the marriage. This is a rule, not deliberately making things difficult.
Lu Xiu blushed and agreed.
Walking out of the main courtyard, Han Jianye wanted to pull Lu Xiu's hand, but Lu Xiu was unwilling: "There are so many people, don't want them, how embarrassing."
Han Jianye smiled and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm holding my wife's hand, not someone else's. When they saw it, they were only envious." After finishing speaking, he still held Lu Xiu's little hand in his palm.
Seeing the affectionate look of the young couple, Qiu said with a smile: "It seems that I will be able to hug my grandson soon."
Mama Li looked at Ye Shi, who had an unnatural expression beside her, and immediately changed the subject, saying, "Ma'am, the second master is married, and you will enjoy the blessings of your children and grandchildren in peace and security." Marriage, the Qiu family is not at ease for a day. Now that Han Jianye has finally got married, his wife has relieved her burden.
Qiu shook her head and said: "Where can I enjoy the blessings of my children and grandchildren in peace and stability. Yuxi is thirteen years old, and I have to start looking for a husband's family. I can really rest until I find a good family for Yuxi." Yuxi If the marriage with Yujing has been settled, it is not her turn to worry about Yuchen's marriage. Only Yuxi made her worry. In the mansion, except for her, no one cared about Yu Xi's marriage anymore.
Mother Li said with a smile: "Our four girls are good-looking and smart, and we will definitely find a good husband." Generally, mother-in-laws don't like daughter-in-laws who are too strong.
Qiu said with a smile: "That's what I said, but it's not so easy to find someone who is good in all aspects. Fortunately, Yuxi is only thirteen, so you can look for it slowly." Qiu decided to wait until the next year Take Yuxi out to socialize more, and it is best to finalize the marriage before Jiji.
When Mrs. Ye returned to Songxiangyuan, her face was not very good-looking.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Hua asked, "Ninai inǎi, what's the matter, are you feeling unwell?"
Ye waved her hand and said, "I'm a little tired, just take a break." Seeing Han Jianye's precious treatment of Lu Xiu, she was in a bad mood. Shizi, I have never been so kind to her.
Grandma Hua said cautiously: "Ninyinǎinǎi, why don't you go to bed and lie down for a while." During this period of time, grandma inǎi was busy and really tired.
Mrs. Ye shook her head and said: "There are still a lot of things to take care of! By the way, my mother brought Ye Yin here yesterday, what do you think of her?" Han Jianming went back to Songxiangyuan for the night last night, so the two of them didn't have time to talk. this matter.
Mrs. Hua hesitated for a moment, and said: "Ninǎinǎi, Ye Yin looks good, but this character, it won't work. Madam and Shizi are very likely to look down on you."
Mrs. Ye said: "If you want a good-natured son, what can you do, as long as you can give birth to a son." If you accept a capable and beautiful second wife back, wouldn't you want to fight her.
Mrs. Hua said: "That's what I said, but this matter has to be done by the madam and the elder son. Grandma, don't worry, you can ask the elder son first. If the elder son agrees, it will be easier for the madam to talk about it." That's it." The madam basically never objected to the decision of the son of the world.
Mrs. Ye was a little irritable, and said, "We'll talk about this matter after a year." If we talk about the second wife now, if we can't agree, this year will be a bad one.
Seeing this, Mrs. Hua changed the subject: "Ninai, do you think you want someone to disclose the matter of Qiu Yanfu to the people around the second ninǎinǎi?"
Mrs. Ye thought for a while and shook her head and said, "No need, let the uncle's side go first." Although she hates Lu Xiu, Lu Xiu is just a sister-in-law and has no direct conflict of interest with her. If she always makes small moves, her mother-in-law will know sooner or later, because such things make her mother-in-law dissatisfied with her more than the loss. The most urgent task is to solve the matter of the second room, which is closely related to her.
Qiu Shi had already prepared the return ceremony. Han Jianye only needs to bring these things with him when he goes to Yue's house.
When he arrived at Lu's house, Han Jianye was called to the study by Master Lu Er. When he was leaving, he couldn't help but glance at Lu Xiu.
Mrs. Lu was very pleased when she saw this, she dragged Lu Xiu into the house, and asked, "Axiu, how is my uncle treating you? Do the Han family get along well?"
Lu Xiu blushed and said: "My husband is very kind to me, and everyone else is also very kind to me. Especially my mother-in-law, she also said that I will only go to pay my respects on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year. Other times, I don't have to go early." As for the Qiu family Lu Xiu didn't have the nerve to say that she would give birth to a big fat grandson in the morning.
Mrs. Lu became more and more satisfied after hearing this: "Although your mother-in-law is straightforward, she is easy to get along with. That's why I agreed to this marriage that day."
Lu Xiu smiled: "Yes, my mother-in-law is very nice."
Mrs. Lu Er nodded slightly, and said: "There is something I have been hiding from you because I am worried that it will affect your mood. Now that you are married, there is no need to keep this matter from you."
Lu Xiu had an intuition that it was not a good thing: "Mom, what's the matter? It can't be..." At first, she wanted to ask if something happened to the eldest brother and the second brother, but soon she realized that this was unlucky, so she swallowed it back.
Mrs. Lu told about Qiu Yanfu's matter: "Mother specially told you this matter to ask you to guard against Mrs. Ye. The matter of Mrs. Fu must have something to do with Mrs. Ye."
Lu Xiu was stunned. She didn't know that her husband had an extra concubine before she got married. Lu Xiu felt wronged and sad: "Mom, why didn't you tell me earlier..."
Mrs. Lu could not see what Lu Xiu was thinking, and said, "What are you telling me? The wedding is only ten days away, and you know it will only add to the sadness. Besides, my uncle was not prepared for this matter. I can't blame him, and his handling method after the incident is quite appropriate."
Lu Xiu was so wronged that she burst into tears.
The second Mrs. Lu was also very sad to see her daughter crying. She was just in the wedding period, but suddenly a concubine appeared. Would anyone feel at ease? But what should be persuaded is still to be persuaded: "Mother knows that you are wronged in your heart, but you can only swallow this grievance in your stomach. Fortunately, my uncle is not confused, and your mother-in-law is also a sensible one. She has promised to give birth to the eldest son without you." Before that, he would not bring that person back."
Lu Xiu wiped her tears, and said angrily: "Mother, Ye Erye ran to the door that day and murmured that he wanted to withdraw from the marriage, and finally retired when the trouble got out of hand. It's not our family's fault. Why should she Blame me? Do you still do such a disgusting thing?" If it was said that the Lu family ran to divorce the marriage, it would be reasonable for Ye Shi to be annoyed. But she is the victim in this matter, why should Mrs. Ye vent her resentment on her.
Mrs. Lu Er said: "This is what I was worried about at the beginning. But even if Mrs. Ye is malicious, she is just a sister-in-law. At most, she will make things difficult behind her back. She dare not make things difficult for you on the surface. Just be careful." How can this marriage be perfect, and the daughter has divorced before, so it is even more difficult to find everything good. The Han family is pretty good.
Lu Xiu was not a muddlehead either, and said, "Don't worry, mother, I won't let her bully me. If she dares to mess with me, I won't make her feel better."
Mrs. Lu shook her head and said: "The most urgent thing is to have a son as soon as possible. With a son, you will have a firm foothold in the Han family. Mrs. Ye, I can't shout in front of you anymore." It is difficult for Mrs. Ye to conceive in the future. It's not a secret, you'll know it after a little inquiring.
Lu Xiu blushed again: "Mother, this matter has to go with the flow."
Mrs. Lu Er said: "Your body has been fine since you were a child. I have also hired someone to take care of you during this time. As long as your husband and wife are loving and loving, there will be good news soon." Small body is fine. If nothing goes wrong, it is estimated that next year I will be able to hold a big fat grandson.
The young couple went back after lunch at Lu's house. On the way back, Lu Xiu kept her head down and didn't speak, Han Jianye looked anxiously. He stopped riding the horse and got into the carriage directly.
Han Jianye looked into Lu Xiu's red eyes and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Did your mother-in-law say something?"
Hearing this, Lu Xiu burst into tears again. Han Jianye was so anxious that he couldn't do it. He was not afraid of anything, but a woman's tears: "Don't cry, tell me what happened?"
Lu Xiu choked up and said: "Mother told me that you took a concubine before you got married. Why did you keep it from me? If my mother didn't tell me, did you always plan to keep it from me?"
Han Jianye froze all over, and then said modestly: "You know?" Seeing Lu Xiu's tears came again, Han Jianye hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just want to get married soon, you know this What a terrible thing! I planned to tell you after a year, but I didn't expect my mother-in-law to say it first."
Lu Xiu stared at the tears all over her face, and asked, "What's going on with Aunt Fu? My mother said something vaguely, but she didn't explain clearly. How did she plot against you? And why did she plot against you?" you?"
Han Jianye immediately poured out all the beans, except for Yuxi's involvement, everything else was said. Hiding Yuxi's paragraph is also a promise to Yuxi not to tell anyone about her. Han Jianye is lacking in other areas, but his mouth is particularly tight.
When Lu Xiu heard that Qiu Yanfu plotted against Han Jianye because she didn't want to be Wang Shaoqi's concubine, she was very angry. But even though she was angry, Lu Xiu did not lose her mind. The reason why Aunt Fu plotted against her husband must be that her husband is a responsible person: "Send her to Zhuangzi, you can't leave it forever? Husband, when do you plan to bring her back?"
Han Jianye looked at Lu Xiu, who still had tears on her face, and said, "I was planning to let her go back to the mansion after we had a son. But if you don't like her, then let her stay in Zhuangzi forever." Qiu Yan It doesn't matter that Fu has a wife.
Lu Xiu thought for a while and said, "Then I'll take her back after I give birth to the eldest son. No matter what, she is the third aunt's niece. It's not appropriate to keep it on Zhuangzi forever?" At that time, there will definitely be someone Said she was jealous.
Han Jianye nodded and said, "It's up to you to decide." Han Jianye received the most orthodox education, and for them, men were in charge of the outside and women were in charge of the house. Men worked hard outside and women handled all matters in the inner courtyard.
After hearing this, the lump in Lu Xiu's heart disappeared. (to be continued)
