Chapter 13 The Hidden Dangers of Dowry
The next day, I got up very early for the Spring Festival. After breakfast, I embroidered oranges to report it. The big girl Yuling and the girl water silk came to greet the Spring Festival.
Welcome to the Spring Festival and invite two people in.
Yingchun inquired that Yuling was from Aunt Chen and the eldest lady in the house. And water silk is Sun Shaozu's maid, usually serving Sun Shaozu. Yingchun would like to meet this "daughter" and open the room.
The little girl raised the curtain and walked into a seven or eight-year-old girl, who was pure and lovely. She came forward to salute and said, "Please give peace to her mother." Yingchun smiled and asked Si Zhu to give up his seat to Yuling, but Yu Ling only said, "There is no daughter seat in front of his parents" and did not sit down.
Yingchun looked at Yuling and saw that although she was not big enough, she was generous and amiable. Yingchun asked Xiuju to give Yuling to the chair, and ordered Sizhu to take out the meeting gift to Yuling. Yu Ling took the gift and thanked him with a smile.
Shortly after Yuling sat down, a woman behind her came over to salute the spring. Xiuju introduced to Yingchun, "Madam, this is a silk girl."
Yingchun heard that she knew that this was a girl from Sun Shaozu. She nodded gently and let the silk talk. The silk got up, just lowered his head and didn't say much.
Yingchun and Yuling's gossip are nothing more than asking her age, literacy, etc. Yu Ling also answered one by one.
After the gossip, Yu Ling resigned to welcome the spring. Standing there, he bowed his head and said to Yingchun, "Madam, if there is anything, just tell the maidservant to do it. The maidservant is the same in front of the master."
In the spring, I didn't let the water silk do anything and let the water silk go back.
The Spring Festival has a good impression of the big girl Yu Ling and water silk.
When the spring saw that the silk had left, he asked Si Zhu to find a few concubines and a common room. Si Zhu knew that Yingchun was going to deal with his aunts, so he immediately invited several aunts.
Soon, Si Zhu picked up the curtain and said to Yingchun, "Madam, Aunt Jiang came with the maidservant to greet you."
Yingchun nodded, and the little girl raised the curtain and came in a young woman in her twenties. After entering the door, she gave a gift to Yingchun. Yingchun looked at Aunt Jiang and didn't ask her to get up.
Aunt Jiang went down and saw that her wife didn't pay attention to her. She immediately knelt down and said, "Please come late."
Yingchun didn't say anything more. She asked Xiuju to help Aunt Jiang, and Aunt Jiang was also very grateful.
At this time, the little girl came in and replied that Aunt Chen was coming. Then, a touching young woman in her twenties came in. Aunt Chen came into the house and saluted Yingchun. Yingchun also didn't say anything and focused on looking at the people coming.
When Aunt Chen saw that the new lady did not let herself get up, she was angry, but she didn't say anything. She raised her body slightly and looked indomitable.
Yingchun sat in the main seat, didn't say anything, and there was no one in the room. The room was surprisingly quiet.
At this moment, the curtain was raised again, and a 17- or 18-year-old woman in a purple dress came in. The appearance of the woman in purple broke the deadlock in the room. Aunt Chen smiled and thought to himself, "It seems that there is a good show to see."
Yingchun raised his eyes and recognized that this was the beautiful woman around Sun Shaozu who was hostile to him when he got married.
The woman came into the room, raised her head gently, looked around, and the corners of her mouth were slightly flawed, smiling brightly. He stepped forward and gently blessed: "Chu Yao, please give yours to your wife."
Yingchun looked at the woman in front of him. ChuJiao is a very beautiful woman, and it is perfect to describe her as a natural beauty. I saw her fragrant cheeks dyed red and cloud temples soaked in ink, which was really beautiful. The beauty of ChuJian and Aunt Chen are not the same. Aunt Chen is a little charming, but ChuJian is rich and graceful.
Yingchun smiled and said, "What time is it? What's your treat?"
Chu Jia was not angry. She got up and sat on a small chair beside her and said to Yingchun with a smile, "Madam, Madam probably doesn't know the master's nature."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Jiao suddenly realized and said with a disdainful smile, "Look at what I'm talking about. Since the marriage between the lady and the master, the master has never been left in the lady's room. How can the wife know the master's character?" After saying that, the corners of his eyes glanced at Yingchun.
Wingchun was not in a hurry or angry, his face was as usual, and he still looked at Chu Yao with a smile. Seeing that Yingchun was not moving, Chu Yao continued with a smile, "The master likes to go to bed late, so naturally he gets up late. I also came to say good to my wife as soon as I sent my master away. In theory, I served the master first and then came to say good to my wife, which is also reasonable.
Yingchun smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Since it's too late, what are you doing here?"
The words of welcoming spring are sharp and mean, and ordinary people naturally can't stand it. However, Chu Yao raised her pretty face and replied with a smile, "If you can't do it, I naturally want to help you. As my wife said, it's really late today. Since my wife asked me what I came to do, that is, she asked me to go back, so I dared to go back. After saying that, he stood up without courtesy and raised the curtain.
Chu Jiao picked up the curtain and was about to walk out. Suddenly, she turned around and looked at Yingchun with a smile: "Madam's dowry opened my eyes." After saying that, he covered his mouth with a smile and left.
Aunt Chen looked at the spring, with the light of gloating in her eyes, and she was overjoyed: After seeing what was more difficult to deal with than me, how did you end up?
Yingchun looked at the curtain, pondered for a moment, and waved his hand and said, "Go back. Come early tomorrow. Don't let anyone invite you again."
Aunt Chen and Aunt Jiang saluted slightly and came out.
The embroidered orange came up angrily: "Madam, Chu Juo doesn't pay much attention to her. Why did you let her go today?"
Wingchun held his hand on his cheek and meditated: "Embroidery orange, do you really think I will suffer this loss? I'm not prepared enough today. I'll give her a sweet date today. Tomorrow, there won't be such a good thing. Also, just now, Chu Jian said that my dowry, embroidered orange, what's wrong with my dowry?
The embroidered orange looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before replying, "The old man and the old lady... There are very few dowries for his wife."
Yingchun apricot's eyes widened and looked at the embroidered oranges and said, "Such a few marriage is similar to ordinary people, but among a family like us, there are very few. The maidservant thought, this is also the reason why the master didn't pay attention to his wife.
Yingchun sat on a chair. She never thought that the status of an ancient woman in her mother-in-law's house would be related to the dowry. And she felt chilled: No matter how bad the spring was, she was also Jia's daughter. How could Jia's had the heart to send her like this? Where did Jia pardon put her?! Moreover, Jia Shi naturally knows what kind of contempt Yingchun attracts in Sun's house. And he still did it and pushed his daughter out of Jia's house righteously and mercilessly. The life and death of Yingchun, is it possible that Jia's forgiveness is as light as a feather?
Yingchun closed his eyes and was sad, sad and angry for Yingchun. Don't ignore your daughter's father like this, don't... that's all.
