Second-hand lady

Chapter 63

On New Year's Eve, all members of the Tan family gathered in the main hall to have a lively New Year's Eve dinner.

There are many Tan family members, so they are divided into two tables, one table for adults and one table for children, Miss Wen Liang and Miss Rucui are left by the old lady, besides, there is a six-year-old boy who is also left by the old lady around.

The boy is the child of the third master of the Tan family, and the only boy, named Tan Jixi, who has been weak and sick since he was a child. For two days in the Rucui Tan family, he has never seen him. When talking and chatting with the Tan family members, he often heard them Mention the lifeline of the old lady of the Tan family.I heard that the weather has been very cold recently, and Tan Jixi has started to get sick again. He fell ill again a few days ago, and was confined in the house by his third aunt to recuperate, so Miss Rucui only saw this little boy today.

At first sight, Miss Rucui was also a little silly, people who didn't know thought this boy was Wen Liang's own son.Although sick and weak, the child is astonishingly beautiful, with a pair of big black and white eyes set on Tao Bai's face, when he stares at people, the pupils of the eyes are so big that they almost fill the eye sockets, like the most radiant eyes. Heizhu, with black and thick hair tied in two buns, is short and slim, with the soft and cuteness of a child.In the words of her family's young lady, she is a short and cute little lady, who makes people want to hold her in her arms and rub her hard a few times to express her love.

But after the boy opened his mouth, he soon found out that he was different from Wen Liang. He was like a spoiled bully. The romantic and gentle temperament.Comparing the two, the boy is exquisite and lovely, gentle and moist like jade, and his demeanor is even more unbearable.

The old lady looked at Wen Liang on the left and Tan Jixi on the right, she smiled so hard that she couldn't see her eyes, she said that this is a good year, and next year will definitely be a good harvest year, because she has two most beautiful grandchildren.

The Tan family felt helpless again. Everyone was used to the old lady's temper. The old lady put all her thoughts on her daughter who died young on her two grandchildren who looked most like her daughter. , more and more confused, and often do some ridiculous things.The descendants of the Tan family were filial, and the old lady was willing to go along with her no matter how out of tune she was.

On the rare reunion day, the adults have lost the old rules, and there is a lot of chatting and laughing at the dinner table, which is very lively.

After the reunion dinner, it was completely dark. The old lady went back to the Ruixiang Garden to rest when she was old, and the energetic adults and children moved to the yard to watch the fireworks.

Every year, in order to celebrate an auspicious year, the Tan family will specially order fireworks. This year, there are more than 30 types of fireworks. Groups of fireworks are launched into the sky, and the brilliance on the dark sky is dazzling, so dazzling.As the fireworks of the Tan family went up into the sky, the big households in Pingjin City also started to set off fireworks. From time to time, the sound of fireworks going up into the sky sounded. The grand view of Pingjin City.

When Miss Rucui was watching vigorously, she heard a tender voice of a child.

"Cousin, I want to set off fireworks too, can you take me to set off fireworks?"

Rucui lowered her head, and saw a miniature version of Wen Liang—no, it was Tan Jixi who was smiling at her with a beautiful face upturned, showing a mouthful of small corn white teeth, and the big black pupils reflected the flickering fireworks in the sky , Ambilight, stunning.But in such a pair of beautiful pupils, there is a touch of cunning and rascal, looking like a child who is going to do bad things.

"I'm sorry, cousin Jixi, I don't know how to set off fireworks." Miss Rucui spread her hands.Besides the servants, those who lit the fireworks were the older children of the Tan family. Who would dare to let a six-year-old child play with fire?He is weak, what should he do if he is frightened?
The boy rolled his eyes and said cunningly: "My cousin is a woman, it doesn't matter if she doesn't know how to play, I will!" The boy said, patting his chest, "Just ask someone to bring the fireworks for me."

Ru Cui understood what he meant after a little thought, it seems that the boy sneaked here by himself.Moreover, he is a playful person, because he is young and weak, the Tan family protects him like a fragile crystal, how dare he let him play with fireworks?This kid is not a safe person, so he picked up Miss Rucui's idea and wanted her to take him to play.

Wen Liang, who was on the side, understood what the little cousin wanted to do, and said, "Little cousin, you are playing tricks on the maid again, this is not good."

"I didn't play tricks on the girls. They are always staring at me. It's annoying. I don't want those ugly monsters to be around me to make people feel disgusted!" Tan Jixi was very curious about this cousin who looked similar to her, and listened Hearing his words, he raised his head and stared at his face carefully, and said, "Cousin Wen, you really look like me!"

Wen Liang smiled and said: "I am older than you, it should be because you look like me."

"Is that so?" Although he was young and didn't understand anything, he always felt that this cousin with a gentle smile was not easy to provoke. Tan Jixi had a lot of eyes, and said again: "Cousin Wen, you are the best cousin That's it, let's just send it to the stream once."

Wen Liang stretched out his hand and flicked his upturned head, ignored the boy's angry expression, and calmly said: "You are still young, so don't even think about playing with fire, your parents and grandmother will be worried. The child will Be obedient." Then, ignoring the boy's eyes about to bite, he called the maid who was looking for the boy everywhere, and took him back to the room so as not to be exposed to the wind.

Tan Jixi puffed up her steamed bun face, then showed a very pleasing smile to Miss Rucui, stretched out her white and tender palms and said: "Biao sister-in-law, Gong Xi Fa Cai, give birth to a precious son early, here is the red envelope."

Wen Liang rubbed his forehead and sighed, and Miss Rucui laughed too, and put the red envelope that had been prepared a long time ago into his palm.

The boy who got the red envelope happily said a few auspicious words, and took the maid who served him to the house in a hurry to ask for the red envelope.

Miss Rucui watched the boy disappear all the way, the smile on her face never faded.

Wen Liang noticed that her gaze was a bit unpleasant: "Don't look, if you want to look, just look at me, he is much more beautiful than him."

Miss Rucui didn't know that someone was interested, so she smiled and said, "Little cousin really looks like Mr. Wen. Although he has a bit of a temper, he is not annoying. Mr. Wen, did you look like your little cousin when you were young?" ?”

"My lord was much more likable than him when I was a child." Wen Liang snorted, "If you like children, we will adopt ten or eight children in the future, so you don't have to envy others."

Ru Cui is dumbfounded, where is this going?

Because of the tradition of keeping the year old on New Year’s Eve, after watching the fireworks, everyone gathered in the warm pavilion of the old lady’s Ruixiangyuan to accompany the old lady. The maid had already prepared melon and fruit snacks and hot tea.Several uncles and aunts of the Tan family had already talked with the old lady. When Wen Liang brought Rucui over, some cousins ​​were still playing with fireworks outside.

Seeing them coming in, the old lady invited them to sit next to her. Both of them smiled and greeted the old lady for the new year, and congratulated the elders on the new year.After the children came in, it was their turn to give red envelopes to the juniors.

It was past midnight to watch the New Year's Eve, and the children couldn't bear it, so they asked the maid to take them to rest.The adults were not idle, and asked the servants to set up the table and rub the cards. There was a table for men and a table for women. After a whole night, whether it was a table for men or a table for women, Wen Liangrucui, the couple, came. A pass kill, won a lot of money.

Everyone in the Tan family knows that Wen Liang has a good brain. They have never won a game with him before. It is not surprising to win money, but Miss Rucui doesn't have that good brain. Why does she also win money frequently?And she was so lucky, if it wasn't for the public watching, everyone would suspect her of cheating.

"Cousin-in-law's lucky..." said the cousin of the eldest aunt of the Tan family in amazement.

All the female family members of the Tan family agreed, and the eldest aunt couldn't help but sighed: "You girl is also very lucky."

After listening, everyone turned their eyebrows and eyes, it was not luck, otherwise, a maid in the palace, could she be hired as the first wife by Wen Liang, who is both talented and beautiful, and a prominent family?Not to mention the capital where there are many aristocratic families, but even the city of Pingjin, which is far away from the capital, how many people have gentle ideas. Those wealthy family chaebols can't wait to give their daughters to Wen Liang as a wife so that they can pull the celebrity in front of the emperor, but they don't expect it to be cheap in the end A maid without identity.

The old lady's eyesight is not good, so she didn't play cards with the young man, but she also asked the girl beside her to explain to her. After hearing what they said, she smiled and said: "Sure enough, she is a lucky person, so she will let our good brother Value. Brother Liang’s daughter-in-law, you have to work hard to give birth to a few big fat boys for Brother Liang. Oh, I still have a few prescriptions for keeping healthy. During the time you are here, just take care of yourself. Take care of your body, don't need to wrong yourself, our Tan family is not a petty Zhenguo government..."

Listening to the old lady who started nagging, the female family members of the Tan family twisted their mouths, come on, don't say anything, otherwise the old lady will have something to say again.However, everyone also sighed in their hearts, if it wasn't for the old lady missing her daughter, and getting older and more out of tune, otherwise the old lady would be the first to have objections to the background of a gentle daughter-in-law. The old lady was not a soft person when she was young. The right family is extremely important, and you will know that she will marry her daughter to the Duke of Zhen's mansion at all costs.

Miss Rucui couldn't tell the old lady about her infertility, so she obediently agreed, anyway, just treat it as if she was sick and make up for it.Then he pushed all the money he won from the elders of the Tan family and cousins ​​to the old lady, and said with a smile: "Grandma, I'm lucky tonight because my grandma is here, so all of this Grandmother won." While flattering, they also showed their filial piety.

Well, this move made the old lady happy again, and she said she was a good boy, which made the female family members of the Tan family curl their lips even more.

In the two days since Miss Rucui came back, she had been with the old lady every day, and she was not familiar with the women of the Tan family, and she didn't talk much, so they didn't express what thoughts they had in their hearts for a while.Even if some people despise her origin, but seeing that the old lady likes her, even if they have thoughts in their hearts, they dare not say anything now.

After midnight, after the fireworks were set off again, everyone went back to their own yards to rest.

Back in Piaoxiangyuan, Rucui and Wen Liang went to see the injured child together, the two maids dozed off in the outer room, and when they heard the knock on the door, one woke up cleverly, and hurried to answer the door, and when they saw Wen Liang and the two of them, hurriedly Salute to let them in.

The weather is very cold, and the air that comes out is foggy.When I entered the room, I felt a wave of warmth.Wen Liang observed for a while, seeing that the maids took care of them meticulously, he was somewhat satisfied in his heart.

"Did she wake up tonight?" Ru Cui asked habitually.

Hua Jie shook his head.

Rucui sat on the embroidered pier in front of the bed, looked at the thinner face of the child sleeping on the bed, and felt more and more sorry for her in her heart, if she hadn't jumped over to block the knife at that time, she wouldn't be still unconscious now .

Wen Liang stood beside her and looked at the little girl's sallow face. This face was not very pretty, and I didn't know what it looked like when I opened my eyes, but a pair of eyebrows were very well formed, adding a little something that the girl didn't have. Heroic.

Just as Ru Cui was plucking the child's hair off her face, she suddenly noticed that her brows were wrinkled, and then slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of misty eyes.
