Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 60 Calling Mingxia ([-])

Yao Cunhui came to Yaofang Courtyard, and there was a mess of distribution and cleaning up.In the east room, the table, kang, and floor bunk are full, and Yao Cunjia is directing the green lotus and green leaves to organize and distribute them one by one.The gifts of the three brothers and sisters were all put together, and it was really troublesome to distribute and pick.

Luhe and Luye took the little girl to tidy up very happily. It was rare to see so many good things, and it was good to open their eyes. When Yao Cunhui and Rong Ma came, the Yaofang courtyard was bustling with activity.

"Hui'er is here!" Yao Cunjia smiled and gave instructions to Lu He and Lu Ye, and then talked with Yao Cunhui in the hall outside, while Rong Ma waited on her.

Yao Cunjia also heard the news that Mrs. Ma was going to add people to the sisters' yard, so the two sisters made up their minds.

Turning her head and glanced at Dongci, who was packing up her things, Yao Cunhui moved closer to Yao Cunjia, and whispered softly: "Elder sister, I wonder how the elder sister's dowry is prepared? Mother——has she really prepared it for the elder sister? What our mother left behind, can I add it to the elder sister?"

Thinking back to the day when they were picking out jewelry, the two sisters looked at each other, panicked in their hearts.My mother's things were taken over by my stepmother, and she blatantly showed them off, it wouldn't feel good for anyone else!
The situation is different now, with the support of the Yun family, and the Yun family has the dowry list for Yun's first marriage, Mrs. Yun wants to exert a little pressure, not afraid that Mrs. Ma will not spit out everything she swallowed.

Besides, when Yao Cunjia got married, he used the things left by his biological mother as a dowry, which is only right and proper!
When Yao Cunhui came back from Yun's house and brought it up on purpose, Yao Cunjia naturally understood what she meant, and his heart was both warm and touched. Except for the sisters who are direct relatives, who would think so?Seeing that Rong's mother was his own, Yao Cunjia didn't have so many scruples when speaking.

"I was just looking for an opportunity to talk to you about this." Yao Cunjia raised his hand to straighten his hair on the sideburns, and said with a soft smile: "My dear sister, please listen to me carefully. I will read the dowry list After that, Dad attaches great importance to this marriage, and the Xie family is such a family that they must not be taken lightly to make them laugh. Therefore, although the dowry list is not outstanding, it is enough to see, and there are many mothers who used to do it. Things. When the days are near, grandma and aunt will definitely add makeup, adding these will be more than enough, so my sister should not ask about this matter any more!"

"But, isn't this too cheap for Mrs. Ma? The things my mother left are what our sisters deserve. Isn't it too wronged for my sister to do this!" Yao Cunhui was depressed.Listening to Yao Cunjia's tone, even if there are so many things belonging to his mother in the dowry, they are probably not high-quality goods. Ma Shi may have kept all the good ones for himself or for Yao Cunmei.

"So," Yao Cunjia couldn't help holding her hand, and smiled slightly: "When you get married in the future, you will return every piece of your things, and you won't leave any scum to her!"

"Big sister..." Yao Cunhui was stunned. Yao Cunjia's speech was always gentle and submissive, the most elegant and dignified. It was the first time Yao Cunhui heard her say that, and she was a little dumbfounded for a while.Mama Rong didn't even feel a smile on the side, and bent her lips.

Yao Cunjia sighed with a smile: "Before we came back, my aunt also asked me about this matter, and I told her that's what I meant! Huier, after my sister gets married, you are the only one left in this family. You have to take good care of yourself." , Take care of Zan'er! If you and Ma Shi are unhappy at this time, and your sister leaves, what will you and Zan'er do? I'm afraid Zan'er will be better off with a father, but what about you, if she holds a grudge in your marriage and something bad happens Come to think of it, how can you let your sister be at ease?"

Yao Cunhui was stunned immediately, staring blankly at Yao Cunjia.

Yao Cunjia then sighed: "Mother left us a lot of things, do you think Mrs. Ma would dare to swallow them alone?" Yao Cunjia glanced at the direction of his father's study as he spoke, "If you are serious with her at this time, You even offended your father, how will you live in the future? Don't worry, now that grandma, uncle, and aunt are here, father and Mrs. Ma don't dare to go too far. My sister won't be despised after all. ! How much mother’s things can be brought back in the future depends on you!”

What Yao Cunjia said was right, I really can only bear with this tone now, and wait until Yao Cunhui gets married to settle the total account together.No matter how old Yao Shizan was, he would not be afraid of Ma Shi's revenge, and since he was his father's only son, his father would not take his anger out on him anyway, so there would be no worries about future troubles.

Besides, sooner or later the part that father took would be given to Yao Shizan, and she didn't care too much about it, but what Ma Shi had in hand was to be taken back no matter what.

"Elder Sister is still thoughtful! It's just that I feel ashamed." Yao Cunhui said that as he thought about it in his heart.

In this way, aren't those things all hers?
Yao Cunjia gave a "puchi" smile, pinched her cheek, and said affectionately, "What kind of family is the Xie family? My sister is married and still lacks good things? You can rest assured! Saying this again makes us sisters very different. Already!"

Yao Cunhui's face flushed a little, and she smiled embarrassedly.

The two sisters decided not to mention the matter.

Returning to Luomei Courtyard after dinner, Yao Cunhui sent the maids to go to sleep early, and she also turned off the lights in the room as usual, leaving only one in the corner of the room, half lying on the couch to doze off, about When it was almost time, Mama Rong opened the door quietly and brought Mingxia in.

"My maidservant greets Second Miss, I have met Second Miss!" Mingxia bowed as soon as she came up, knelt on the ground respectfully and kowtowed to Yao Cunhui.

"Sister Mingxia can't do this, get up!" Yao Cunhui smiled and leaned over and raised her hand, "You are the first-class girl by Madam's side, how can you do such a big gift to me!"

Yao Cunhui looked at Mingxia while talking.Looking closely under the dim light, Yao Cunhui realized that she had only seen her for a few days. Mingxia's originally youthful, pretty and radiant face was covered with a haggard and depressed expression, her shiny skin was dry, and her soft and perfect oval face Ye pointed into melon seeds, with sunken eyes, swollen eye sockets, big bags under the eyes, wearing a white silk skirt and a green silk vest with pinched teeth, so pure that it makes people feel sad.

Mother Rong also persuaded with a smile, and helped Mingxia up herself, but unexpectedly Mingxia resisted and refused, she knelt in front of Yao Cunhui, tears streaming down her face, she bit her lip and suppressed her sobs, begging in a low voice: "I beg you, servant girl!" The second miss saved the servant's life, I beg the second miss to show the servant a way out!" He kowtowed again and again.Xu Shi was afraid that he would not be able to do business the next day if he knocked his forehead, so he folded his hands on the ground, knocking only on the back of his hand, once and for all, without hesitation.

Yao Cunhui couldn't help but look at her twice: such a meticulous mind, it is worth cultivating!
"What are you doing! If you have been wronged, just say it. If I can help you, I will help you! If you can't help, you can also enlighten me a little bit. Don't do this! Mother Rong, help me up!" Yao Cunhui ate Surprised, he quickly told Rong Ma.

Rong Ma agreed, and while going to help Mingxia, she persuaded: "Mingxia, you are wrong, if you have something to say no to, why are you just crying and kowtowing, isn't this embarrassing the second lady!"

"It's the servant's rudeness, please forgive me, Second Miss!" Mingxia froze and stopped kowtow, but still refused to get up, she pulled out the handkerchief in her sleeve and quickly wiped away her tears, calming her emotions and said: "Second Miss is A smart and kind person, the servant has no one else to turn to but the second lady! I beg the second lady to show the servant a way out, and the slave will be like an ox and a horse to repay the great kindness to the second lady, and I will never forget it!"

Yao Cunhui stared at her for a long time without saying a word, his deep and cold eyes seemed to see through her, Mingxia hesitated in her heart, knowing that she was being abrupt, but at this time, besides Yao Cunhui, she had no one else to ask for!In any case, she must try her best to grab this last straw!

"Second Miss!" Mingxia bit her lip, her voice mournful, she wanted to swear to show her loyalty, but she felt that the space was too empty, so she didn't know what to say.

"You are usually a steady and smart person, why are you so out of tune today? What exactly do you want me to help you? How do I know if you don't tell me clearly? You are the person next to my mother. Even if I share her worries, I can Those who help will naturally help you!" Yao Cunhui laughed.

Hearing Yao Cunhui mention Deng's family, Mingxia couldn't help but turn pale. She bowed her head and said, "Ma'am, Ma'am wants to marry this servant to Mother Wen's sixth son, but this servant is unwilling, so I beg Second Miss to help this servant!"

Thinking that her whole life would be connected with such an incomprehensible and worthless man, Mingxia felt a sudden chill in her heart, deep fear swept over her, and she couldn't help shivering.

Although this matter has not been stated clearly, Yao Cunhui knew about it in her previous life, and Rong Ma, she also knew about the two shadows from the trail behind her back, and when Mingxia said it, the two masters and servants met A look, unexpectedly all are calm, and the eyelids are not raised.

"Second Miss, I beg Second Miss. This servant would rather serve Second Miss for the rest of her life without marrying. This servant swears that she will be loyal to Second Miss for the rest of her life. If she breaks her oath, she will be struck by lightning and die. I beg Second Miss!" Mingxia saw Yao Cunhui Both Rong's mother and Rong's mother looked unresponsive, and suddenly became anxious again.

"What are you talking about!" Rong Ma's complexion changed slightly, and she reprimanded with a straight face: "This kind of words can be said in front of Second Miss!"

Yao Cunhui is the daughter of a boudoir who has not yet been betrothed to someone else. Mingxia came to her and cried and told her that she refused to marry, and said that she would rather serve her life than marry. This is extremely rude.

Mingxia's face was sallow, and she realized it. She was ashamed and ashamed at the moment, holding back her tears and said: "My servant, I am convicted, but I really have no other choice! Second Miss, this servant did not mean to offend!"

"With your character, appearance, and demeanor, it's a pity to marry a young servant, and I can't blame you for being wronged! I was anxious and flustered, and I didn't mean to care about you!" Yao Cunhui sighed softly. , the eyes are full of pity.

"Second Miss!" Yao Cunhui's words could be said to reach her heart, Mingxia raised her head, her eyes were dim with tears, the scene in her eyes was fragmented, her eye sockets became hot, she couldn't help shedding tears again.
