Several times in dreams

Chapter 25 Back to the Door
At dinner time, Wen Jun, wearing a newly made robe and holding another one in his hand, led Wanying to the main hall.

"Father, your robes are ready. Don't you know that this profiteer who sells cloth didn't just give you the whole piece, that is, Wanying made all the robes for us two with her ingenuity. You can try it later, and you will be sure." suitable!"

Jiang Shi hurriedly took the robe, and saw that it was really well made, the stitches were fine and even, and it was ironed evenly with a soldering iron, which was not worse than the one made in a tailor shop.

"Okay, okay, it's suitable at first glance, this craftsmanship, tsk tsk...Master, put it on and try it..."

Chen Zhizhou smiled from ear to ear, and hurriedly put on the robe for an interview, and it fit perfectly, "Wanying, you can make it so fit without my size, what a skill!"

"This morning, I found out that father-in-law, you are thin, and you are roughly cut. Fortunately, the fabric will be enough, otherwise, if you lose weight, you can only wear it as a jacket in winter." Wanying pursed her lips and smiled.

At present, the whole family had a lively dinner and while teasing Wenyu, Wanying noticed that the little fellows were all wearing the yellow chalcedony she gave her, but only Wenlan didn't wear it, so she said casually: "Wenlan, my sister-in-law gave it to me." Why don’t you wear your topaz? Why don’t I weave a more beautiful plum blossom network for you another day?”

Wen Lan didn't say a word, her face was cold, her eyes drooped, staring at her skirt, the atmosphere turned cold for a moment.

Jiang was furious, "This damn girl, she acts like someone owes her [-] hanging money all day long, who is showing her face? Wanying, please ignore her, I will piss her off sooner or later!"

Wanying didn't expect her casual words to cause trouble, so she could only comfort her mother-in-law, "There is nothing wrong with a child's temper, mother-in-law, don't be angry, I will go back to my room if there is nothing wrong."

After bowing to his father-in-law Chen Zhizhou, Wen Jun hurriedly left the hall.

Back in the room, Wanying also felt sulking. Things were going well on the first day of the wedding, why did she end up having a fight with a half-grown child, and she didn't offend her sister-in-law?

"Did I say something wrong?" Wanying couldn't hold back and asked Wen Jun.

"You didn't say anything wrong, don't think about it, this girl Wenlan has a dull temper and a wicked temper. When she is never happy all day long, don't be serious with her. Mother said it, and she will get angry when you see her," Wen Jun Sighed.

"Accordingly, this family is full of young masters, just such a young lady, whoever's family is the baby of parents, why is Wenlan such a temperament? Is it because of her nature or is there another reason?" Wanying asked the bottom line out of the casserole.

"Let's talk about it, it's a natural thing. Wenlan was born to cry a lot. My father originally had five daughters, and he didn't care much about her. I'm the first son in my family, so naturally my father loves me. My mother is still an older generation. My sons often say that ten daughters are not as good as one son, and then Wenjing and Wenxiu came together, so naturally they couldn't care less about her, and over time, Wenlan became withdrawn and difficult to get close to." Wen Jun said helplessly.

"The scar next to her eye..."

"Oh, Wen Jing was four years old that year. My younger brother was very naughty when he was born. My mother was pregnant with Wen Xiu and was heavy, so she asked Wen Lan to take care of Wen Jing. I didn't expect Wen Lan to be negligent for a while. While playing by the fish pond, he stepped on the air and fell into the water. Fortunately, the long-term worker of the family passed by, and Wen Jing was able to save himself from danger."

"When I came back, my mother gave Wenlan a good beating, and even kicked Wenlan down. He just fell on the side of the charcoal basin. As soon as the stove hook finished hooking the charcoal fire, Wenlan's face was scalded directly, alas!"

"Then quickly apply some badger oil and snake oil. Your family will not lack this. How could it leave such a big scar? How will you marry in the future?"

Meng Wanying was puzzled and anxious, but any family with some wealth would ask the tenants to catch some snakes or badgers every year, and refine more oil for storage. When someone in the family was burnt, it would be used as an emergency. Ordinary families would also refine it.

"There is badger oil, but my mother kicked me and gave birth prematurely. How can my father care about Wenlan? The whole family is in chaos!"

"Luckily, the mother and child were safe, but Wenxiu has been weak since she was born at eight months. My mother blamed Wenlan for all of this, so she always disliked her."

"When everyone thinks about Wenlan's burn, her wound festered because she didn't get a timely diagnosis and treatment. She then applied badger oil and went to a doctor, and then slowly healed, but a scar was left. But my mother said, when she gets married, Just send some more dowry, it doesn't matter." Wen Jun said lightly.

"It doesn't matter. Do you know how important appearance is to a girl? How can it be so easy to talk about it?"

Wanying said angrily, "No wonder Wenlan is so lonely, no one in this family cares about her!"

"Okay, okay, my wife has the best heart, get closer to her in the future, don't cry if she treats you coldly!" Wen Jun joked.

"Your family is equally cold-hearted, I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

"Then who do you want to talk to? My heart is very hot, if you don't believe me touch it..." Wen Jun smiled, pushed Wanying down, and then kissed her.

On the third day, it was the day when the bride returned home. Wanying and his wife got up early to greet their in-laws and said goodbye.

Wen Jun prepared six gifts, and set up the largest carriage in the family. Because of the wedding, the carriage was repainted with new oil, and the roof and enclosure of the car cover were all new. The sides were sealed with leather so that no wind could get in. The brazier is warm.

Wen Jun wore Wanying's newly made padded robe and a blue felt top hat. His childish face was still there, but his expression was calm and solemn.

Making Wanying laugh all the way, not only that, Chen Wenjun also pretended to be stern and said: "Look at you, there is a bit of bride-like appearance, laughing and laughing, what is it, what is it! Ah!"

After speaking, she slowly leaned over, stared at Wanying's face, and said in a drawn-out voice, "Ah?" Wanying laughed so hard that she almost rolled over the car, and the new hairpin on her head came loose.

After talking and laughing, the Meng family arrived. Although she had only been away for three days, Wanying felt like she had been away for three years. When she entered the gate, she felt a strange sense of alienation.

It wasn't until she saw her mother and Wanlan that she woke up. Li Mengxian took her daughter and looked around three times, confirming that her daughter was doing well, her complexion was good, and she was more cheerful, so she was naturally very happy.

Chen Wenjun quickly changed his name to his mother-in-law, and saluted Li Mengxian with a big smile.

Wanlan quietly said to Wanying: "Sister, you are so lucky. My brother-in-law's name is Jun, and he is also handsome. I was worried that my sister's marriage was arranged by the family. I didn't expect you and your brother-in-law to be so compatible. When I greeted you at the door, I heard the two of you laughing in the car before you got out of the car."

"Little girl, you're actually eavesdropping!" Wan Ying blamed with a smile, "How's your studies going? Will you be admitted to a normal school next year?"

"Of course I can! My elder brother has already said that I will definitely pass the exam. He will help me contact the school in Shanghai next year. Then I can find my third sister!" Wan Lan couldn't stop her excitement.

After a while, the eldest brother and the second brother both came back. Knowing that Wanying came back, they specially took a leave of absence to come back to accompany Wen Jun, a new guest.

At the wine table, the eldest brother said seriously: "Do you know that the Japanese are about to attack, and the youngest and the others are following Marshal Han, who actually surrendered without a fight in order to save his team, and has already surrendered Jinan to the Japanese. Withdrew from the Shandong battlefield, these warlords are too incompetent!"

"The vengeance of 30 souls in Nanjing has not been avenged. After the fall of Shanghai, the third sister also cut off the news. I don't know good or bad. In a few days, our place will also fall!"

"It doesn't matter who he comes to. I'll be my little clerk. Brother, don't be afraid. There must be a school. If there is a school, there must be a teacher. When the Japanese come, they must use the police to maintain law and order." " Meng Xianlun said indifferently.

"Second brother, are you still Chinese!" The eldest brother was so angry that he slapped the table, as if he wanted to beat someone up.

Wanying and Wen Jun quickly pulled the elder brother away and dragged the elder brother to sit down again, Meng Xianlun didn't dare to say anything more.

The eldest brother sighed, and continued: "Wen Junwanying, we ordinary people have to make some preparations, hide the valuables at home as much as possible, and never let the Japanese snatch them away. This is not only to protect our own property , but also patriotism in disguise!"

Wanying and Wenjun nodded, feeling a lot heavier in their hearts.
