Chapter 267 Farewell
Chapter 267 ·Doing
Tang looked at his daughter with a smile on her face and felt happy. She held her hand and asked, "How are you copying your scriptures?"
Previously, Mrs. Tang mentioned that the story of September 9th that she might have to take her family to Putuo Mountain was passed down by Tang Xueru. Now there is nothing that the Tang family has no longer unknown. Tang naturally heard about it, and then she realized that her daughter had been copying scriptures these days.
Bai Rongxuan said, "My own copy has been copied. Xueru is a little slower. Now I copied another short volume, just to spend time with her." She did not tell her mother that the scriptures she copied were to be worshipped by the Bodhisattva to bless her brother with health and safety. Otherwise, she would care about her brother's safety again and again, even if her mother was slow, she would be suspicious.
When Tang heard the sound, he didn't think much. The mother and daughter talked for a while before they separated.
The next morning, Tang wrote a letter to his son, caring about his daily life between the lines, and reminding him that although his studies are important, he must protect his body. He is the hope of himself and Rongxuan. If he has a few things, the whole family will not have to live. She put the envelope on and handed it to Wu Ma to the doorman, and then transferred it to Tang Xuehua, asking him to help send it to Nanjing.
Bai Rongxuan learned from Wu Ma that her mother was very happy after hearing what she said, and she walked much lighter.
But a few days later, she heard that Dong Yulu had said goodbye to Mrs. Tang and was about to go back to Suzhou.
I haven't seen each other for a few years, and I have only lived there for a few days before leaving. Mrs. Tang naturally reluctantly, but Dong Yulu had already told her privately that she went back this time to see the marriage with the Qiu family. Mrs. Dong sent her mother to pick her up to pick her up.
The matter is related to the second half of her granddaughter's life. Even if Mrs. Tang is reluctant to leave, she can't stay anymore. Besides, the Qiu family is a real wealthy family. If Dong Yulu can marry, she will be like lying in a honeypot for the rest of her life, and she will not worry about anything. But with the lessons of Tang's past, Mrs. Tang still said to Dong Yulu with concern, "Your aunt was married to the Bai family, but look at what kind of result she ended up in the future? This naturally has her personality shortcomings, but the open and secret struggles in the Gaomen mansion are not a joke. If your marriage with the Qiu family really becomes, you have to be more careful and be cautious in everything, but don't take advantage of loopholes. Especially when getting along with relatives, you can't make any mistakes at all."
Dong Yulu is two years older than Tang Xueping. If his marriage with the Qiu family can be successful, he will probably be married next year or the year after. The faraway distance is high, and I don’t know when I will meet again. Although Mrs. Tang is in good health, she is an elderly person after all. Who knows what the situation will be next time?
Thinking of these circles, Dong Yuli held Mrs. Tang's arm and said, "Don't worry, grandma, I remember it all, I will definitely not be despised or bullied."
Mrs. Tang looked at her little face, wanted to laugh and cry, and touched her cheek and said, "You have lost your mother since you were young, and I can't be by your side to take care of you all the time. Although your grandmother is the only one in the Dong family, your life is not easy. You have to learn to look at people's faces since you were young, which is difficult. Now you are old and you will talk about marriage in the blink of an eye. Your mother has a spirit in heaven. Seeing that you have the blessings you have today, it's time to rest in peace."
Dong Yulu immediately started crying, "Grandma..."
"Good boy, don't cry!" Mrs. Tang took out a veil and wiped her tears. "Remember, people have to go through many hardships in this life. You have experienced so many ups and downs at a young age. Your life will be smooth and smooth in the future. If something happens, not only your grandmother is your backing, the Tang family will support you without hesitation. Don't feel afraid, just straighten your back and move forward."
Dong Yulu nodded gratefully, "I've recorded it."
Mrs. Tang asked Madam Li to carry out the things she had prepared in advance. It was a small mahogany box with peonies and pomegranates painted with gold thread. Because it was old, many places had been painted off, and it was obvious that it was an old object that had been around for a while.
Madam Li put the box at Mrs. Tang's hand.
A copper lock was hung on the mahogany box. Mrs. Tang found the key from the drawer on the side of the Arhat bed and opened the lock. She lifted the box and found a set of ruby jewelry and several small and exquisite jade ornaments.
Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "This box was the dowry given to me by my family when I got married. My mother's family is not rich, and there are not many things to accompany me. Most of the things inside were filled by your grandfather, just to give me a face and make people look good..."
When Mrs. Tang said this, Dong Yulu smiled and said, "My grandfather must like you very much, otherwise she wouldn't have used her own things to you."
Mrs. Tang smiled slightly, "The child's family is unrestrained, and he even joked about me. What do you like or not? We were not like now, like the current ones, as we did when we were ordered by our parents and matchmakers. We had met two times before we got married, and we didn't even say ten words."
"Then my grandfather fell in love with you at first sight." Dong Yulu raised her head and looked at Mrs. Tang's face. Her weathered face was covered with wrinkles, but even this way, it was vaguely visible that she was a beautiful beauty when she was young. "My grandmother must be very beautiful when she was young, otherwise her uncle and aunt would not be as handsome as a handsome man."
And her mother must be a gentle and beautiful lady.
"At this age, who cares whether a person is beautiful or not? A person's appearance is just a icing on the cake. Who lives a life with his face? They are all made by hard work." Mrs. Tang sighed and pointed to the mahogany box at hand and said, "My parents' house has a total of four dowry boxes like this, all of which are made of camphor wood. People who gave birth to daughters in Jiangnan have always had this custom. After their daughter was born, they would plant two camphor trees in front of the house. When their daughter was about to get married, they cut the trees and made them into boxes to prepare the dowry for their daughter. When your mother got married, the dowry was prepared in advance when your grandfather was alive. I was useless and I was left to you. I'll do it.
In addition to you, there are Xueping, Rongxuan and Xueru. You four are just one person. If you miss me a hundred years later, take out the box and take a look. Just think it is my thought for you. As for Brother Hua, he is a boy, and he has to leave all the big family business for him. I have taken advantage of it. I will not prepare anything for him. However, you four are all daughters' families. If you marry into other people's families, you must abide by other people's rules. Every step is not easy. I divided my dowry and the things I have accumulated over the years into four parts. I have prepared this part long ago. It happened that you are here this time, otherwise I will ask someone to send it to you when you get married."
Dong Yuli hurriedly said, "My dowry is ready long ago. Didn't you tell you before? My grandmother was worried that I would suffer a loss, so she specially picked out several shops from my father. After the three uncles learned about it, each of them gave two shops. The income from these shops added up. I can't spend all my money in a year. You should keep these things yourself! Although my uncle and aunt are filial, you have some money in your hands and have the confidence to spend them. I don't need anything, so don't worry."
Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Tang showed a dissatisfaction expression, "You child, you give me personal gifts, and express your feelings. Can you still think of me when you see something from the Dong family? The elders can't refuse. When did you get so twisted? Or do you think the things my grandmother gave you are not good enough, so you don't want to ask for them?"
Dong Yuxi hurriedly said, "How could this be? Didn't you wrong me? Needless to say, I'll just accept it. If I give birth to a daughter in the future, I will leave these for her and tell her that this is a good thing left to her by her great-grandmother."
Mrs. Tang nodded with satisfaction, "That's the reason! Alas, I don't know if I can wait until you give birth. If I can survive until then, even if I can't get out of the ground, even if someone is carrying me, I will rush to Tianjin to give you confinement."
Dong Yuli dared not let her make trouble, let alone whether the matter between her and the Qiu family can be accomplished. Why did she talk about the step of pregnancy and having a child? She blushed and said, "These horoscopes are not yet mentioned. Don't rush to make such an early conclusion. Besides, how can you let you go? When the child is full of the month, I will bring him to see you."
