The lucky star of rebirth

Chapter 132 Confession
Mrs. Sun looked at the stacks of quilt sheets, dozens of red and green quilts stacked together, thick cotton mattresses, and pillows embroidered with the pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and called Mrs. Wang together. check.

After the two checked it out and registered it in the register, Wang smiled and said: "There are enough quilts, but Xiaojiu is not cold-tolerant, and the quilts on the bed are always thick. I'm afraid there won't be enough cotton quilts."

Mrs. Sun nodded straight after listening: "Mother said the same thing, I just ask the needleworkers to make a few more beds, and I see that there are not many clothes for the four seasons, but I can't catch up with time, so I can only do this first." Just do it."

Mrs. Wang asked again: "Is the washing basin, spittoon, needle and thread and other things ready?"

"It's all ready." Mrs. Sun smiled, "Everything is good. In addition, my mother bought sixty pieces of newly woven brocade, thirty pieces of feather yarn, eighty pieces of silk yarn of various colors, and many ornaments. Paintings and calligraphy, etc.”

Sun and his party said, and Wang's and his party nodded: "Although it is nothing compared to those rich and powerful families, we have done our best."

While the two were talking, Mrs. Wu brought the little girl over to look at the prepared quilts, and hurriedly asked people to pack them into boxes and put them into the storeroom. After a few maids carried the things away, Mrs. Wu asked: "Is the furniture ready?"

Mrs. Sun quickly replied: "The bed and the cabinet are all ready, only one table and a few chairs are not ready, I think it will be fine in three or five days."

"Hurry up." After hearing this, Mrs. Wu instructed, and said, "My son-in-law sent a gift, and your father and I mean to put the gift in the dowry as well."

"It's what it should be." Sun and Wang hurriedly responded: "My uncle has only been an official for a few days, and I don't have a family background. How much money can I have? Thinking about it, I have tried my best for those gifts. Life will be difficult after the gift, and it will be Xiaojiu who will suffer then, and the couple will live better if they bring the gift there."

Mrs. Wang smiled: "No one lives by the gift from my aunt. Now our family has all the houses and houses, and several masters in the family are officials, and all of them have salaries. Only Xiaoqi and Xiao Ba is still studying, but judging by their appearance, I am afraid that next year Chun Wei will be able to win. If he wins, he will be able to send officials. Although the official position is small and the salary is less, it is enough for them to spend. The better we live , there is no reason to deduct my uncle's gift and not give it to others to make people laugh."

"It's hard for you to be so reasonable." Mrs. Wu sat down with a smile, and called Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wang to her front: "The truth is the same, and the words are said that way, but how do you know that there are many sister-in-laws in this world?" I can't tolerate my sister-in-law."

"You don't believe it." Mrs. Wu told Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wang to sit down, and seeing that their faces were full of disbelief, she couldn't help sighing: "When you were in your mother's house, your brother and sister-in-law loved each other. You haven't had any troubles before, when you come to our house, you love Xiao Jiu as usual, so you definitely can't think of such ways to torture my sister-in-law."

At this point, Mrs. Wu cheered up and told Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wang about ancient times: "I remember when I was young, there was a family named Zheng next door to my house. He had three sons and two daughters. The eldest son was weak and married A strong daughter-in-law, but the eldest daughter is strong and does a good job. She is much stronger than a son when she is caught at home and outside the house. Needlework saves money to buy new clothes, and the daughter-in-law will die or live because of this matter, and the family will be turned upside down. The daughter's family will not be able to eat an extra bite. The youngest daughter has no eyesight. The sister-in-law is tossing about, but the eldest daughter has a very winking look, and when she sees this, she knows that she can't stay at home, so she told her in-law's family to marry off early."

Speaking of this, seeing that Sun and Wang were both shocked, Wu smiled: "Not only farmers, but also high-ranking families are like this. When your father was sent out to be an official, I followed him once to serve as an official." , There is a family there, and the married daughter-in-law also quarreled with her mother-in-law a few times because of the sister-in-law, and when the sister-in-law got married, she could make a fuss because of the more dowry."

When Mrs. Sun heard this, she felt a little bit aggrieved: "This is too much, but she doesn't want to think about it. Could it be that she is being tossed like this by her sister-in-law at home? She has already pushed others, who doesn't have a girl, and the girl is at home It's a bit too disgusting to be able to eat for a few days, so I can't tolerate it."

Mrs. Wang also nodded all the time: "I didn't think there was such a vicious woman. When I was at home, my sister-in-law was very kind. She didn't quarrel with me, but she didn't even blush once. When I arrived In our family, we also thought that our parents are getting older, and our sister is also young, so we should pay more attention as sister-in-laws, but we never thought that there are still people who can’t tolerate a sister.”

"You are all good." Mrs. Wu held the hands of Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wang and praised: "Our family can be as harmonious as it is today, and it is all thanks to your sisters-in-law. You don't argue or quarrel. Only with a harmonious tone can the whole family live smoothly."

After boasting, Mrs. Wu chatted and laughed with Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wang before getting up and leaving.

As soon as she left, Mrs. Sun looked at Mrs. Wang, and they both laughed together.

Sun shook her head: "Mother, it's true, we never meant to be mean to the girl, and she didn't need to mention us like that."

Wang also laughed: "Mother is just too worried about Xiaojiu."

The two daughters-in-law didn't understand Wu's meaning. Wu was afraid that giving too much dowry to Ji Songxian would make the daughters-in-law feel uncomfortable, so he used good words to praise Sun and Wang, and told them to be embarrassed to be mean to Ji Songxian.

"It's the same with other mothers." Sun thought for a while and then laughed: "When I got married, I was afraid that my mother would talk to my sister-in-law like this."

Mrs. Wang continued: "Speaking of which, our family has a big house, and what is left over from the father and mother after a hundred years will be shared by the brothers. Xiaojiu didn't get the land and property, so when she gets married, she should give more dowry. It’s also what it should be, if we can’t get over it, what will we do.”

"Don't talk about this anymore, Xiaojiu's jewelry will be delivered to my son soon, I'll go to the warehouse to check again, and you wait to check the face." Sun pushed Wang, leaving a word gone.

But Ji Songxian is here, these few days she watched her family busy preparing dowry for her, the high-quality silk and satin were transported to the warehouse for free, and there were hundreds of four seasons clothes, furniture made of mahogany, All kinds of literature, play, calligraphy and paintings, the boxes are full and I don't know how many.

She just thought that if she got married this time, she might empty out the Ji family's fortune.

Ji Yi and Wu's family belonged to young children, and they didn't want to cause the children to suffer any grievances. They also said that they would not separate until next year after Ji Wei and Ji Zhen Chunwei passed. Ji Yi came out, fearing that once she got married, the family would be stretched again.

For a while, Ji Songxian had mixed feelings in her heart. She thought for a while, opened the high cabinet beside the bed, took out a red lacquered box carved with peony, and went to Wu's room alone.

It just so happened that Mrs. Wu came back after seeing her dowry. When she saw Ji Songxian looking for her, she immediately smiled: "My son, why are you here in such a cold day, please sit down and keep warm."

Ji Songxian sat on the warm couch with a smile, and Mrs. Wu personally took a blanket and covered her lap.

Ji Songxian looked up at Suixin and said with a smile: "I heard that Sister Suixin made a lot of scented tea when summer came, and I just wanted to ask for a cup."

Knowing that Ji Songxian should have something to say to Mrs. Wu, Suixin immediately smiled and said, "I'm going to prepare now."

While talking, he took the little girl out as he wished, only Ji Songxian and Mrs. Wu were left in the room, and Ji Songxian took out the box that he had been holding in his arms and handed it to Mrs. Wu.

Wu Shi was a little puzzled: "What is this?"

Ji Songxian opened the box: "I saved this myself. Also, I saved Mrs. Song many years ago. She left some things for me. I sold them one after another and got some money."

Yixing said that Ji Songxian and his party took out the items in the box, and she took a cloth bag made of soft silk and put it on the table: "I picked this up when I went out a while ago."

Wu Shi took it over and opened the bag for a look, then took a deep breath: "This..."

The bag was actually full of diamonds, Ji Songxian smiled: "I don't know why, it was clearly placed on the road, but none of the passers-by could see it, and when I passed by, several people almost stepped on it. .”

She pointed to the golden steel stone and said: "Although we favor jade in the Great Xia Dynasty, this is also a rare jewel. It should be great for mother to use it to make some face."

After that, she took out a bag of pearls and a bag of amber colored glass: "These are also for appearance, and they are all the best things."

After explaining these things, Ji Songxian took out another stack of banknotes: "The total of these banknotes is about 8000 taels. Mother can use them for home use."

"No." When Wu Shi saw it, he immediately pushed it over: "You have something good to remember, and my mother will be very happy. You must not keep this bank note. You don't know the difficulties of living at home, but my mother knows it very well. Don't underestimate it." The firewood, rice, oil and salt will cost a lot of money, and your son-in-law will have a social meeting in the future, and you will also go to a banquet, so you have to be respectable, keep this money for yourself, mother has money."

Ji Songxian smiled: "Mother, don't lie to me. I know what's in our family very well. When I'm usually free, I also plan for a while. Although our family can't make ends meet, we have a large population, and the cost is very high. Mother and Dad didn't save many good things at first, but he gave them all to me this time, and I'm afraid it's almost empty. In the future, when the brothers split up, parents may not be able to ask for money from the brothers, and they will grow old in the future. You can't do without money, I don't want to see you and dad have a difficult life."

Ji Songxian obstinately handed over the banknote to Mrs. Wu: "I gave it to my parents alone. I still have some silver in my hand. It will be enough to spend in the future. I just keep this silver carefully. Don't tell anyone. You and dad's pension money."

"Okay." Ji Songxian has already mentioned this point, and Wu Shi can't shirk it anymore, so he can only put it away with red eyes: "After all, it is my daughter's caring, it is not easy for you to think so far, even though your brothers are filial , but not as detailed as you think."

Ji Songxian smiled and didn't answer, but took out the bottom thing in the box, and Mrs. Wu went to see it, and was shocked again.
