Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 507
The Dong family's five-bedroom house in the north of the city is rarely lively today. The usual good Mr. Dong Wu is celebrating his 40th birthday today.Although the Dong family only started to make a fortune after Mr. Dong Ge became an official, it does not have the deep roots of the six great families.But although Dong Ge is stubborn, he is not lacking in righteousness, and he is respected by all civil and military officials.

The so-called one person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and the Dong family has also produced many official positions in recent years.Although the rank is not high, there are also third-rank court officials and chief officials in charge of practical affairs, who really help Mr. Dong Ge a lot.

Seeing that the Dong family is getting more and more prosperous, but Master Wufang has a weak temper, he is not smart, and has a pedantic air.After becoming an official, he made no big mistakes, but he didn't have any good achievements. He has been working through his qualifications and slowly climbed to the fifth rank official. He is really a dispensable existence in the Dong family.

But Mr. Dong Wu married the daughter of Cao's family, the third-rank minister of rites.

If there are no changes, the life of the fifth house of Dong's family will be so peaceful and beautiful.But last year, the queen empress took a fancy to the eldest daughter of the Dong family and personally acted as a matchmaker to marry her second brother to make a sequel.Not to mention how generous the betrothal gift was at that time, Grandpa Dong Wu directly won two levels in a row, jumping from the fifth rank to the fourth rank chief official.Although he still couldn't squeeze into the ranks of court officials, it was enough to feel elated.

For a while, everyone in the Dong family looked at Wufang differently, and there were more exchanges on weekdays.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the situation in the middle of the dynasty changed, and the person on that chair suddenly changed his appearance.So the fifth room of the Dong family was embarrassed...

After more than half a year, the new emperor did not wantonly cleanse the former old ministers and close ministers, and even maintained the store of the former empress, and those who cared began to spread the word. The relatives and friends of Ding's family took care of it.

Just in time for Mr. Dong Wu's birthday, the Dong family also opened the door that had been closed for many days, and went for a little walk with relatives and friends.After all, the family still has a son who is about the same age and is about to marry, and a daughter who is close to cardamom, so they can't always live behind closed doors.

Although the Dong family and his wife discussed it, they also reported it to Mr. Dong Ge, and they agreed to take care of it.But no matter how he is a fourth-rank official, he still needs to have the dignity he should have.

On this day, there were still lights and festoons in front of Dong's house, and people came and went.

Mrs. Dong has a straightforward temperament, and she keeps the house in order on weekdays. The maids and servants also follow the rules, and the housekeeper and the big maid in charge are even more effective.

She only needs to take her little girl to sit in the flower hall with the female relatives, and give a few orders occasionally.

There are several wives who are usually under the influence of their concubines. Today, seeing that the Dong family has no concubines, and the servants are so capable, they are a little envious, and smile, "I, others are not envious, but I envy Mrs. Dong's life today. Live comfortably. Look at such a big birthday banquet, it was held neatly, without panic at all. If it were my family... Hey, I'm afraid it will be a mess, enough to give me a headache for half a month. "

The other lady next to her, the master of the family is the assistant official under the fifth master, so she naturally wanted to praise her a little bit, and said, "This is absolutely right, you don't come here very often. On the contrary, I come here once or twice more on weekdays. Every time, I have to be envious."

Everyone laughed, women gathered together, most of the topics revolved around their husbands and children, if they had been talked about, it would be tea, snacks, clothes and jewelry.

Mrs. Dong’s desserts for guests today were brought back from the Ding’s shop early. In response to the autumn scenery, they were all made into small cakes in the shape of ears of corn, bracts, peanuts or fruits. It's delicious and everyone praises it.

The father and son of the Dong family, three families and one family, have always been unable to study well. They are afraid of being tired after learning martial arts, so they lose money even if they open a shop.Almost all the time, she has to be dragged by the helpers of each house to maintain her face, but the third wife is not ungrateful, and she is not less annoying because she is a little older on weekdays.

Now that everyone flattered Mrs. Dong, she had no one to talk to, so she felt a little uncomfortable, and couldn't bear it, and said, "Let me tell you, the fifth younger sibling is also a smart person, but today How did you do something stupid?"

Her words were like throwing a bitter medicine into honey, it was harsh to the eyes, but harsh to the ears.Everyone was talking lively, but they stopped talking immediately after hearing this.Those who had been friends with the fifth lady frowned, while the rest brought tea bowls and planned to be wallflowers to watch the fun.

Mrs. Dong usually hated this third sister-in-law the most, but she was more than ten years older and insisted on putting on airs of an elder. Those who didn't know thought she was her mother-in-law.Whenever they come to the door, they either talk nonsense, or they are cheeky and ask for money or things. If they don't give them, they go out and spread the word about how harsh and defiant Wufang is.I hate it so much!
According to her wish, she really wanted to give her two slaps right now, but today was her master's birthday party, and there were many outsiders present, so she couldn't show her family scandal, so she had to hold back.

Thinking of this, she smiled and said a few perfunctory words, but she didn't want the third lady to accept it as soon as she saw it, and hurriedly said, "If I'm not wrong, this dim sum probably came from that dim sum shop? Speaking of which, The fifth younger siblings are really courageous. Almost everyone knows who the owner of that shop is. Now that the new emperor is in power, you support the business of that shop instead. Isn’t this against the new emperor? You are not afraid of delaying five years. Brother's official career?"

Mrs. Dong gritted her teeth angrily. It would be fine if the family argued a few words, but now the third lady almost said that their whole family disobeyed the emperor's orders.

"Sister-in-law San is wrong. If there is a happy event at home, the dim sum for guests must be the best. Not to mention who the owner of the Ding's shop is, at least everyone knows that the dim sum in the shop is delicious. I bought it and waited for it." Why are customers so confused? Besides, the new emperor always asks Qin Guanshi to go to Ding’s shop to buy snacks, why should I buy a few boxes and come back to disobey the emperor’s order?”

"That's right, Third Aunt." Another young daughter-in-law of the second room of the Dong family was also present, and hurriedly helped to start a conversation, not wanting this stupid third aunt to drag down the entire Dong family, "Fifth Aunt is the most generous, celebrating Fifth Uncle's birthday The banquet is the most willing, not to mention the snacks. Just passing by the kitchen yard, I just glanced at it, and the ingredients are also abundant. I am not afraid of embarrassment when I say it, my niece and daughter-in-law almost drooled."

Everyone laughed, and someone echoed, "That's right, I saw it too. There are also a few red carps. The bright ones make them festive."

Those red carps were actually sent by the Ding family's Zhuangzi. Although the master was not there, the farmers didn't want to make the master's face weaker.The master's father-in-law celebrates his birthday, and the farmers have racked their brains to prepare some food and send it, which is counted as doing their best for the master.

Madam Dong deeply felt the loyalty of the Ding family household, but it was hard to say it now, so she said, "It's just some ordinary things."

Seeing that the third lady couldn't provoke her, everyone still supported the fifth lady, and thinking about the worthless husband and children in the family, she felt so angry that she couldn't keep her mouth shut.

"If you want me to say, today's excitement is still a little bit worse. It would be great if the eldest girl was at home, but it's a pity that I don't know where she went with the unlucky Ding family. Pity our eldest girl, a good lady, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting , the housewife is also proficient in everything, but she just married such a poor and settled house to fill in the house, and the good life has not passed, but she has suffered along with it."

As she said this, she seemed to love her niece very much, but she couldn't hide the disdain in the corners of her eyes and brows.

"If you want me to tell you, the fifth sibling shouldn't have coveted the betrothal gift of that shabby settlement. Even if the dog's tail was stuck in a jade vase, it wouldn't be a big deal. Even though the cook became a queen, she still had a bad life and couldn't bear great wealth. In the end, it wasn't that I fell down, but our eldest girl suffered as a result. Oh, every time I think about it, my aunt, I feel really uncomfortable."

She is obviously the head wife of a big mansion, but she is extremely proficient in using the farm shrew's singing, reciting, sitting and doing meditation.Everyone listened with contempt and novelty, but they were also reluctant to speak.

Mrs. Dong was so angry that her hands hidden in her sleeves trembled. At the beginning, she hesitated whether to marry the eldest girl to the Ding family, or whether the third sister-in-law would be the first to come to persuade her. Same.

Fortunately, something happened to the Ding family, and she made trouble like this, stabbing a knife in the heart of a mother who missed her daughter, it was extremely hateful.

"As the old saying goes, marry a chicken and follow the chicken. Since Wan'er entered the Ding family, she is the Ding family. Whether it is a blessing or a disaster, it is her fate. No one can go to the front to see this! Besides, the third sister-in-law But those who strongly agree with this marriage, when the dowry gift came, they advised me to cut off half of it for your third nephew to use when he gets married. Why do you say that now?"

It is unbelievable that such a weird idea of ​​withholding the bride price of a niece for her own son came from the mind of the mistress of a big family.Could it be that the Dong family is shameless, or is Sanfang poor and crazy?

Everyone's gazes made the third lady's face turn red, and her mouth became more and more unwilling to be idle.

"Fifth brother and sister, look, you don't worry about your daughter as a mother, and I say a few words as an uncle, why are you still choking on me and talking about what you have and what you don't!"

She pulled off her handkerchief and was about to wipe her tears, and she did a great job, "My poor niece Wan'er, I don't know which valley to dig wild vegetables at this time, can I have enough food and clothing..."

As a mother, although Mrs. Dong knew that her daughter had arrived at Taoyuan Island safely, how could she not worry about it.Occasionally she would wake up crying in her dreams, but she has a strong temper, and she still refuses to show half of her expression in front of outsiders.

Now being poked in the heart by a shrew-like third lady, I am really on fire, and I am about to explode immediately.

At this time, a little maid ran in from outside the door, she was only about eleven or twelve years old, she was usually around inside and outside the second door, she was considered clever and sensible.But today I don't know what happened, and I rushed in rashly.
