Chapter 564 The bracelet (two chapters in one)(1/2)
Mrs. Ye said to Mo Yu: "Take out the pair of bracelets."
This pair of bracelets was Mrs. Ye’s dowry and is now worn on Zhou Wanqian’s wrist.
Lu Ying'er came after noon. She brought the snacks she made by herself to Mrs. Ye and left them to dinner together at night. Li Qiniang did not let her go back to Qingping Lane and slept with Zhou Wanqian tonight.
Zhou Wanqian raised his hands and shook his wrists in front of Lu Ying'er. Lu Ying'er was dizzy by her and asked, "You're shaking your hands?"
"I am a martial arts practitioner, can I shake my hands?" Zhou Wanqian said.
"Then why are you shaking your wrist?" Lu Ying'er asked.
"Look at what I am?" Zhou Wanqian looked proud.
"Claw?" Lu Ying'er was puzzled.
"Bracelet, the bracelet passed down by Fusheng's ancestral family!" Zhou Wanqian was very excited. Lu Ying'er, the blind man, had two shiny bracelets that could not be seen.
Lu Ying'er... When Mrs. Ye put the bracelet on you, we all saw it. There is no need for you to continue showing off.
"Okay, this is a bracelet passed down from the Fusheng family. You must keep it well and pass it on to your daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law in the future. Be careful not to break it." Lu Ying'er had never seen Zhou Wanqian wear a bracelet and kindly advised her.
Zhou Wanqian slapped his forehead: "Yes, you're right. What if I accidentally chopped the bracelets together when I was chopping ribs? "
Finally, she stopped shaking her wrists, so she found a mahogany box and carefully put away the bracelets.
The news that Mrs. Ye entered Beijing is not a secret. Although Ouyang Boru was once a second-rank official, he had passed away for many years. Ouyang Zan was also missing. Without Ouyang Boru's father and son, the Ouyang family has never even been a Juren in recent years. Even in Pingcheng, he was only a second-rate and third-rate small family, and no one knew about it when he arrived in the capital.
But even Li Qiniang did not expect that the day after Mrs. Ye entered the capital, the queen would announce that Mrs. Ye would enter the palace.
Mrs. Ye took the queen's reward out of the palace, and she already knew what she should know in the capital.
The next day, the posts from each residence were sent to the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, some wanted to visit, and some invited Mrs. Ye to visit the mansion and reminisce about the past.
Li Qiniang smiled and said, "You have a lot of acquaintances in the capital."
Mrs. Ye snorted coldly: "If the Empress hadn't let me enter the palace, do you think these posts could be sent so soon? When they moved the capital, they were in Pingcheng, and I was in Pingcheng. At that time, they never thought of me, the lonely woman."
Li Qiniang smiled: "You are always too sober and thorough."
Old Mrs. Ye snorted again, not replying to her.
Li Qiniang was choosing a house for Fusheng. She didn't want to tell Mrs. Ye about this, that this was a wedding gift from Qi Wei and her to Fusheng.
But Mrs. Ye also wanted to buy a house.
"Tomorrow you will ask the manager of your mansion to call me a tantrum."
Li Qiniang was stunned and asked if she could help if she had anything to do?
Mrs. Ye said: "I want to buy a house in the capital."
Before Li Qiniang could speak, Mrs. Ye said, "If Fusheng doesn't want to go back to Pingcheng, then don't go back. The people in our family are not things. It's better for Fusheng to go back. So he simply cut off their hopes. When his father comes back, he will come to the capital. This time I come here to buy a house in the capital, our Ouyang family's house."
Li Qiniang understood what Mrs. Ye meant, so the next day she called Yaren to come and chose a few good houses for Mrs. Ye to choose.
In the evening, Zhou Hong came to the yamen and visited him with gifts. This was the first time that Zhou Hong and Mrs. Ye had met after the two families engaged.
It just so happened that Zhou Xiaobai also came out of the palace, and the father and son met in front of the Duke's mansion. Zhou Xiaobai did not expect that the person who came out of the sedan chair was his father.
He was stunned and asked, "Dad, why are you here?"
He hadn't seen his father for a long time, but fortunately his father's appearance had not changed, and he still looked fierce when he wore an official robe.
Zhou Hong reached out and touched his son's head. He was in Qingshui Yamen. He originally thought that everyone in this place was noble, but he didn't expect that since he learned that his son was Zhou Yun, there have been endless tricks.
Either invite him to drink or bring his sons with him; either openly or secretly, or directly, or propose marriage to his sons around the bush, or even give him women.
Fortunately, Zhou Hong refused decisively and did not drag it down. Gradually, those people saw clearly that Zhou Hong and his children were not close at all. His son and daughter were not closest to him, but his aunt and uncle.
These people despise Zhou Hong a lot behind their backs. They can't stand the walls. They have such good resources, but they are like this now.
Zhou Hong was too lazy to compete with these people. They all entered the imperial examinations, but his official position was exchanged for mines. They looked down on him, but he looked down on them.
"Fusheng's grandmother is here, of course I want to come and meet again." Zhou Hong said with a smile.
Zhou Yun had no smile on his face. He was no longer the ignorant child back then. He and his parents didn't kiss him and his sister. At first, he didn't understand, but later he saw more and understood more. He gradually could understand his parents' efforts. It was just one thing to understand, but acceptance was another.
Zhou Yun nodded, he knew.
When Zhou Yun saw Mrs. Ye with Zhou Hong, when Zhou Yun sent Zhou Hong out of the Duke's Mansion, he suddenly asked, "Does my mother know what my sister and I look like?"
Zhou Hong was stunned, and his tiger eyes stared at Zhou Yun, but he didn't say anything.
Zhou Yun smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's okay, then you just remember it for her, so that we won't meet on the street in a few years and you won't know us anymore."
After saying that, Zhou Yun turned around and ran away quickly, and his figure disappeared into the night.
Zhou Hong looked at his son's back and cursed: "Little bastard, I have learned to sarcasm."
Zhou Yun ran far away before stopping.
He wiped away the tears from his face with his sleeves, stood alone in the evening breeze for a while before slowly walking towards Xiaoman's yard.
"Mandou, when I have a son, I will definitely take him everywhere I go, just like the Duke of the State." Zhou Yun sat on Xiaoman's desk, his chin hitting his knees one after another.
"What if you don't have a son?" Xiaoman asked.
"When I have a daughter, I will definitely be like my aunt, I will care for her hard and make delicious food for her every day." Zhou Yun immediately changed his words.
Xiaoman was amused: "My mother is a woman, you are not. Besides, can you cook and cook?"
"Hmph, then I'll marry a wife who can cook and cook and loves her daughter very much." Zhou Yun thought about all the women he knew, and he was surprised to find that none of them met the requirements.
Of course, his little aunt is like this, so the Duke of the State married him without saying a word.
"Oh, Mantou, if I can't marry a wife, you have to be loyal. We brothers and we have to promise me that you will give your son and daughter to me and I will raise you for you." Zhou Yun felt that this method was really good. Why did he forget that he still had Mantou? He and Mantou are so strong, and Mantou's children are of course his children.
His relationship with Chai Hao is also very strong, but he dare not miss Chai Hao's children at night, so he still wants steamed buns.
Xiaoman felt that Zhou Xiaobai had bubbles in his head today, big blisters, just like what his sister said, "I'm crazy!"
Xiaoman reads his own book and when Zhou Xiaobai does not exist.
Zhou Xiaobai complained for a long time, and finally got stuck in nagging. He pierced his head on Xiaoman's bed and fell asleep.
The next day, Zhou Xiaobai got up and punched a set of punches in the yard. He was sweating profusely and took a shower. He felt refreshed. He ate seven or eight buns in one breath and felt that he could kill a cow with one punch.
He returned to the palace in a relaxed mood. What he said last night...What did he say? He had long since lost.
In Huang County, Yan Xuehuai and Chai Yan finally left here and went to Fuping County.
A year ago, a woman named Quan in Fuping County sued a Shang Shang named Chen Han to stop his wife and remarry.
Quan Wu said that her husband Chen Datie used to be a gangster in the village. Three years ago, Chen Datie stole the dog from Li Zheng's family and killed the meat. After being caught, he was broken one leg. The four of them dared not stay in the village, so he hid in Quan Wu's family's parents' home. He thought that after a few days, Li Zheng and the villagers would calm down and give Li Zheng some gifts. This matter would be over and moved back at that time.
Unexpectedly, Chen Datie's leg injury had caused trouble again before he recovered. He played chess at the door of his house, and he had a disagreement with others, and even beat the man to death with a crutch.
Chen Datie was sentenced to beheading and sentenced after autumn.
But not long after, someone from the yamen came and informed all the women to collect the body. After asking, he found out that Chen Dati escaped from prison and was hacked to death by the yamen runners guarding outside the prison.
Chen Datie deserves his crime, and he will die in vain if he dies, but his body cannot be left in the Heavenly Prison, so his family will go over to collect the corpse immediately.
The whole woman took her two sons and cried and grabbed Chen Datie's body. When Chen Datie escaped from prison, she fought with the yamen runners. She was stabbed all over her body, and her face was cut into blood and blood. She couldn't see her original appearance at all.
The whole woman only identified her husband Chen Datie from the height of the body and a scar on her right leg.
Back then, the whole woman never doubted this.
Chen Datie was a death row prisoner. Even though he had not escaped from prison and was not hacked to death by the yamen runners, he would still die until the autumn, but it was just a difference between time and time.
Besides, Chen Datie ate, drank, gambled, and beat or scolded the whole woman and two children. When he was recuperating at his father-in-law's house, he often contradicted his father-in-law and his mother-in-law, and even teased his neighbor's wife who came to visit.
When I heard that Chen Datie was dead, the whole woman was not sad, and even a little happy.
Chen Datie offended Li Zheng, who was also the elder of the Chen family. Therefore, after Chen Datie died, the whole woman knelt at the door of Li Zheng's house for two hours. Li Zheng and Chen's clan leader agreed to let Chen Datie be buried in the Chen family's ancestral tomb.
Although it was easy to do on the day Chen Datie was buried, many relatives from the Chen clan also came.
After Chen Datie died, Quan Wu moved back with his two sons. Without Chen Datie, Quan Wu and his sons lived well. Everyone in the village knew that the mother and son had been living a hard life over the years. Therefore, even if they were Chen Datie's wife and children, no one had bullied them.
But just a year ago, Quan Wu's uncle who was far away in Jiangning Mansion died of illness. Quan Wu took his son to accompany his parents to Jiangning Mansion to pay condolences.
This was the first time that the whole woman had been in Jiangning Prefecture until she was in her thirties. Before that, she hadn't even been to Fuping County several times.
After my uncle's funeral was finished, the whole woman's father took his family to a restaurant for dinner. He finally came here and always wanted to see the world.
There is a private room in the restaurant. The eldest son of the whole woman came back from the thatched cottage. When he passed by the private room, he saw that one of the private rooms was not closed, but only the curtains were hanging.
The eldest son is only twelve years old. The first time he went to the city and the first time he went to a restaurant for dinner. The child was curious for a moment and wanted to see what it looked like in the private room.
He lifted the curtain and saw the man sitting in the main seat.
That person was his dead father, Chen Datie.
The eldest son of the Chen family thought he had seen a ghost, and his face turned pale and returned to the table. When the whole woman saw that her son looked wrong, she repeatedly questioned her. Then the eldest son of the Chen family said that she had just seen his father.
Quan Wu didn't believe it, and Quan Dad didn't believe it either. However, the eldest son of the Chen family said that he read it correctly. The man just now was his father.
Master Quan took the eldest son of the Chen family to the private room again. Unexpectedly, the man had already checked out just now and was walking out with his friends.
This time, not only Master Quan saw it, but also Quan’s woman sitting in the hall.
This is Chen Datie. Although he has changed into a gorgeous dress, he is still Chen Datie.
