Chapter 240
"You don't have Mu Qing's good temper!" The eldest lady smiled when she heard this, "You have to fight for everything!"
Grandma Zheng San pulled the sleeves of the eldest wife: "When did I fight? Grandma said this, I won't obey." She pouted and looked like she acted coquettishly. It can be seen that she and the eldest wife have a good relationship.
The eldest lady laughed indeed: "You want me to list them one by one!"
"Grandma, please spare me, don't let me lose face in front of my younger generation." Grandma Zheng San begs for mercy, and the people in the room laughed when they saw it.
The child returned to Chen Muqing's arms. Chen Muqing turned around to feed the child. When the eldest wife and Grandma Zheng San saw it, they sat outside the tent with a smile. After the child finished breastfeeding, they closed their eyes and went to sleep.
The eldest wife and Grandma Zheng San accompanied Chen Muqing to relieve her boredom.
"Do you think about the name of the child?"
Chen Muqing smiled and said, "My husband said he wanted to see if there are any good names in the Book of Songs."
"After all, I am a scholar. I don't think we have any names when we see them." Grandma Zheng San smiled and said, "Look at me, I call him Wanggui on the thirteenth day of August. First, there is osmanthus flowers in August, and second, it is the word "Gui Tonggui..."
Only then did Chen Muqing realize that Grandma Zheng San’s boudoir name was Wanggui.
"I think this name is good." The eldest lady smiled, "The third brother respects you, Yan'er is filial, and you will have good days in the future."
Yan'er is the nickname of Zheng Sanye's only son.
Grandma Zheng San laughed and said, "Yan'er got his name according to the horoscope of Sheng Geng. Otherwise, invite a Taoist monk to show the girl the horoscope of Sheng Geng. See if there are any missing in the five elements, and choose a nickname according to the five elements!"
"Master Guangyuan in Guangdong is profound in Buddhism," the eldest lady pondered, "Or why should Master Guangyuan take a look?"
"Guangdong is too far away!" Chen Muqing hurriedly said, "How much does that cost!"
The eldest wife and Grandma Zheng San both laughed.
"Don't worry," Grandma Zheng San smiled, "The eldest lady has arranged everything. In the future, as long as you are not addicted to gambling, let alone hire a master from Guangdong to Shanghai Ding to kill the children, it will be fine if you invite a monk and Taoist nun from Kyoto to Shanghai Ding to be a water and land temple for 70 to 49 days every year!"
Chen Muqing was slightly stunned.
"It's because of me that Sa'er suffers so much." The smile on the eldest lady's face gradually became a little bitter. "I can't help anything else, I can only leave some money for you..." As she said that, she suddenly grabbed Chen Muqing's hand, "Muqing, thank you..."
Chen Muqing was a little puzzled.
"Sa'er doesn't seem to care about anything, but in fact she is a very stubborn person." The eldest lady's tears fell down, "He was thinking about you wholeheartedly... Unexpectedly, the in-laws would agree to this marriage, and he didn't expect you to follow him to come to Shanghai to settle down... Good boy, I will remember the great kindness of the Shen family in my heart for the rest of my life..."
"Don't say that!" Chen Muqing struggled to sit up, "My husband is nice to me, so I naturally want to be nice to him... You said this, it's a terrible loss to me."
"That's it." Grandma Zheng San hurriedly took out a veil from her sleeve and handed it to the eldest wife, "Why do you say this? Why do you ask Mu Qing to answer? It's better to give more money. You said yes, Mu Qing!" As she said that, she took the pillow and placed it behind Shen Muqing's back, and let her rest.
The eldest lady was amused by Grandma Zheng San and laughed: "Don't worry, I left a big head in Sa'er, and I have prepared a box of tea for a few nieces and nieces..."
Chen Muqing also smiled: "You don't have to give money - blood relatives are blood relatives, and the guild makes money, so they are like the Zheng family."
"Mu Qing, tell you not to be polite to our aunt." Grandma Zheng San smiled, "Our aunt has some ability to turn into gold..."
The three people were laughing, and a little maid came in and reported, "Grandma, a carriage came outside, saying that she was ordered by Aunt Ninth to come from Qingyuan, Shandong to send a full moon gift to the girl."
Chen Muqing was shocked and hurriedly said, "Come in quickly."
Xiao Sa's sister Xiao Yunniang ranked ninth among the Xiao family's sisters and married into a family named Zhuang in Qingyuan, Shandong.
Their wedding day was urgent. The old man's room was all here, but the married aunt and other housekeepers only received gifts, but no one was there. At that time, she asked Xiao Sa which gift was given by Xiao Yunniang. Xiao Sa was not very clear. Later, she called Pang Debao and found out that the dealer gave a chicken-wedge 800 Arhat ivory pinched silk and inserted the screen as a gift. She went to see the screen - the Arhat carving was lifelike, the silk was exquisite, and it looked very valuable at the glance. She was very impressed at the time.
The thought flashed, and she had heard the eldest lady's surprised voice: "What did you say? From Qingyuan, Shandong? Have you heard it clearly?"
The little maid nodded repeatedly: "The mother who came to knock on the door said that it was the ninth aunt's breast mother, who came from Qingyuan, Shandong specifically."
"It's Yunniang!" Grandma Zheng San was full of surprise when she heard this, and stood up and walked out, "I'll go and take a look!"
"Qingyuan is thousands of miles away from Shanghai and it will take more than a month to take a bus..." The eldest wife murmured, "Why did you suddenly think of someone giving a full moon gift?"
Chen Muqing also felt a little strange.
The atmosphere in the room immediately became depressing.
After a while, Grandma Zheng San brought a capable woman in her thirties and walked in. As soon as the woman entered the door, she knelt down to salute Chen Muqing: "I, Wang Zhou, please pay my respects to grandma." She also gave the eldest lady: "Welcome to the eldest lady."
Chen Muqing signaled Mingxia to come forward and help her: "How is our ninth aunt?"
"Give me my grandmother a blessing, everything is fine!" Zhou Wang smiled, "But our grandmother heard that her uncle was pregnant, and she counted on these days. I was particularly frustrated to pay my respects to her grandmother." As she said that, two strong women brought in a box.
The eldest lady frowned: "Just for this?" She didn't believe it.
Zhou Wang smiled and said, "Don't worry, grandma is good. Parents-in-law likes it, and husband respects it. Grandma nods the big and small things at home. It's just that my grandmother doesn't want to be considered. She just missed her relatives' sister-in-law and her niece, so she was especially sent by a servant." She spoke very respectfully, but in Shen Muqing's ears, she felt a sense of alienation.
The eldest lady also felt it, her expression was slightly stunned, and she said for a while: "You are her breast mother, I feel relieved to have you by my side."
The Zhou Wang smiled and said, "It's just that grandma didn't expect the eldest lady to be here, and she didn't prepare any gifts. I'll kowtow to the eldest lady for grandma!" As she said that, she knelt down and kowtowed.
The eldest lady looked at the Zhou Wang family kneeling in front of her with a complicated expression. She sighed softly and said a little lonely: "Get up! When you go back to see Yunniang, she said that her brother and sister-in-law are hanging on her, so she can let her interact with her more brother and sister-in-law Hongyan."
"That's natural!" Zhou Wang stood up and smiled at the eldest wife, "Speaking of this, our grandma is a person who repays the favor of water. That year, the Seventh Master passed by Shandong and went to Qingyuan to visit our grandma, and our grandma has always kept it in mind. The Seventh Master happened to be pregnant and it was not convenient to rush to travel, otherwise, he would go to Kyoto with the managers. For this, our grandma felt guilty, so this time he told me that no matter what, he must deliver the gifts on time." As he said that, he smiled at Chen Muqing, "The things are not worth it, but they are all made by our grandma. The gift is light and the affection is heavy. Please don't dislike it."
When she spoke, the two people carrying the boxes opened the boxes.
Because it was far away, Chen Muqing could not see clearly. Grandma Zheng San carried a small red brocade dress from the box and smiled and said, "Oh, it's a small dress made for her niece!"
This Zhou Wang's speech was soft and hard, without a maid at all. The eldest wife and Grandma Zheng San were not angry after hearing this... Chen Muqing knew that there was something in it. But she didn't want to get involved. Speaking of which, this was all the past. She was neither a party nor a participant, so she was not qualified to discuss something!
She smiled and said, "As my mother said, the gifts are light and the people are very satisfied. What's more, it was done by Aunt Ninth himself, so there is no reason to make money. I'm afraid that I'll let Aunt Ninth be troubled, so I feel sorry for it."
"Mrs. Ninth Aunt and Seventh Master are the same mother," Zhou Wang said with a smile, "Of course, you should be kind to others. Even if you work hard, it is also worth it. My uncle should not take it to heart." It was a tone of being able to be the master of the family.
She knew that the eldest wife and Xiao Sa had a bad relationship. Now it seems that her relationship with Xiao Sa's sister Xiao Yunniang is not very good...
Chen Muqing didn't want to make the eldest wife embarrassed, so he exchanged a few greetings with Zhou Wangshi, then called Mingxia in and asked her to take Zhou Wangshi and the servant lady who came with her to have a meal and rest.
Zhou Wang saluted the three masters in the house without being humble and arrogant, and retreated with Mingxia.
The eldest lady looked at Zhou Wang's back, and her expression was still a little stunned.
Chen Muqing sighed softly, gave a wink to Grandma Zheng San, and smiled and told Xi Que: "Hurry up, bring me the things sent by Grandma Ninth, and take a look!"
The magpie and Huang Ying struggled to lift the box next to Chen Muqing, and Grandma Zheng San helped to clear the things.
A gold silk crepe crown, a big red satin gold eight auspicious hat, and a box of clothes. A red flower-covered silk with butterfly silk, a yellow green flower-woven makeup, a silver-red silk-carved silk, and all kinds of fabrics... At the bottom is a small box. When you open it, you will find that there are two pairs of gold bracelets, four gold gem rings, two red gold collars, one inlaid with gold-inlaid coral agate ruby, and one inlaid with red gold filigree.
This is not a goose feather, it is simply a wild goose!
Chen Muqing thought to himself.
It seems that Xiao Yunniang has a good economic environment, otherwise she would not have been so generous!
"See, aunt," Grandma Zheng San showed the collar with gems for the eldest lady, "I'm afraid it's worth three hundred gold."
The eldest lady smiled bitterly: "It seems that the dealer's business is doing well."
Grandma Zheng San covered her mouth and smiled: "It's not just good. I heard that merchants in Shandong vaguely took the dealer as their leader... You didn't hear Zhou Wang say that the dealer is now, but we Yunniang nodded. At the beginning, you were worried that Yunniang was young and could not start the situation. Now you can feel at ease, right?"
