Wen Family Has a Wife

Seeing so many boxes, Xie Nianzhong's curiosity was written all over his face, "Mother, did uncle give these to our family? Are they from the new house?"

Wen frowned and shook his head, "There is nothing missing in this house. Before your little aunt ordered people to send a lot of pots and pans and brand-new quilt materials, how could your uncle send us these things again? Wait until they move Let's take a look when it's over! Hey! This time, I really owe you two uncles too much."

"Mother! Don't worry, my eldest brother and I will work hard. When we have learned our skills, we will repay them well in the future!" Xie Nianzhong said optimistically.

Xie Nianbo nodded in agreement.

Wen's wry smile continued, "That's the only way to go. Remember to be filial to your elders on weekdays, and help your elders when you are needed."

"We know!" The brothers responded obediently.

After all the boxes were moved, Xie Nianbo personally sent those people out, closed the gate of the house, and when he came back, he just heard Wen's whispering: "Forget it, there are thirty big boxes alone, and there are some It’s a small cage, and I don’t know what’s inside it?”

"Open it and have a look and you'll know!" Xie Nianzhong started directly after speaking.

Xie Nianbo silently took a closer look, the first box was full of jade wares they had never seen before, big and small, his eyes widened in shock, "Mother, these things"

Wen frowned, looked at the other boxes, "All opened."

This time Xie Nianbo didn't stand and watch, but came to help, when all thirty boxes were opened, the mother and son were all silent, standing in a pile of boxes, all three were in a daze.

Xie Nianzhong swallowed his saliva fiercely, he couldn't see through his eyes, and said a little timidly: "Mother, brother, uncle, right? I've taken out all my family property! There are so many precious things, as well as gold, silver and jewels! "

Any thing here is enough for them to live comfortably for a lifetime!

"Mother, are these things for us?" Xie Nianbo looked at Wen with a questioning and shocked expression.

Wen came back to his senses, and nodded uncertainly, "Probably, I heard from your little aunt yesterday that your eldest uncle gave dowry gifts to your cousins. These are probably for you."

"That's too much! When we were in the south of the Yangtze River, when people got married nearby, the betrothal gift was at most a dozen or twenty taels of silver. It would be nice if the dowry could be three or four taels. There's no need to give so much!" Xie Nianzhong Said sadly.

Wen's expression is indescribable, "You also said that it is in the south of the Yangtze River. There are ordinary people around our house, and getting married is naturally easy. Now that we are in the capital, we must know a lot about the relationship between our family and your uncle. Employed under the rules of ordinary people, I guess your uncle and the others would be ashamed!"

Speaking of this, Wen's suddenly doubted whether it was right for her to bring her family to the capital. If they didn't come, they could still live a comfortable life of ordinary people in Jiangnan. It's even more unsettling over there.

After thinking about it, Wen supported his forehead with a headache, and looked at his two sons, "Forget it, don't worry about it, put away the things first, and I will ask your uncle later to see how he arranged it."

The two brothers had no objection, and moved their things to a safe room together. After locking the windows and doors, they even locked the courtyard door. Finally, they asked the gatekeeper to watch carefully, and then returned to An Guogong with Wen. government.

Seeing the preoccupied expressions of the mother and son, Chen Ningya asked.

Wen's didn't hide it from her, and directly told the situation just now.

After Chen Ningya listened carefully, she carefully analyzed with the three of Wen's family: "Based on the current situation of Xie's family, if Nian Bo and Nian Zhong married a girl with a higher family status, it is very likely that they got married with a purpose. , it's no good for you,

What I mean is to marry a girl of the right family, who is about the same. It is better to have a simpler family, so that the pressure on the two brothers will be less.

If this is the case for the girl you choose, naturally you won’t need so many dowry gifts, so I guess the elder brother should just give things without discrimination, and you can use them as you see, don’t have to use them all as dowry gifts, keep them for future emergencies Isn't it better? "

Wen shi listened carefully and agreed with Chen Ningya's words very much.

After fooling the mother and son away, Chen Ningya breathed a sigh of relief, and when Wen Youshan came back, she brought this matter up, and said a little funnyly: "Brother is really good at doing things, swift and resolute, silent Just get the things over, since he has such a hand, we can't give more, otherwise the words I said before won't hold water!"

After hearing this, Wen Youshan was helpless and emotional, "Brother doesn't want us to spend money! I don't even think that he is going to have a family himself, and he will have sons and daughters in the future. Why don't he leave more for his children?"

Chen Ningya was stunned for a moment, and said bluntly: "Perhaps the eldest brother has already prepared it. With his temperament, it's not that he has no intentions, that's all, we will just give more as we look at it later."

The couple stopped talking about it after they had figured it out.

In a blink of an eye, the cold wind of late autumn came with a patter of light rain, as if it had cooled down overnight, and the thick mattress was not enough to resist the coming severe cold.

Chen Ningya woke up early in the morning, looking at the cloudy sky outside the window, she told Lan Ling: "I'm going to change into the winter quilt today, and I'll go to see my aunt and grandma later, and prepare all the clothes and quilts that need to be added or subtracted. As for the old man, the quilts that were originally prepared may not be enough, so we have to rush to make a few thick quilts."

"Don't worry, ma'am, I'll take care of it now." Lan Ling just walked outside the door, then turned around and said to Chen Ningya: "Also, news from Dizhou early this morning seems to be about the third master .”

"Did the third child send you a letter?" Chen Ningya's eyes burst out with a light of surprise, and her whole body became much more lively.

Lan Ling was also very happy, and nodded repeatedly, "It should belong to the third master. The letter is with the Duke of the country. Can you ask the servant to fetch it for the madam?"

Chen Ningya shook her head, feeling that Lan Ling was too busy going back and forth, so she lifted her skirt and walked out, even the cold wind outside could not stop her.

In Wen Youshan's study in the front yard, Wen Yuanliang was also there. Sandalwood was lit in the room, and the fragrance of tea wafted and filled the air, which blocked the cold air outside the house.

When the two saw Chen Ningya approaching, they both got up. Wen Youshan immediately fetched her a cloak and put it on, and reprimanded softly: "The weather has changed today, why don't you know how to wear an extra dress?"

"Did the third one send you a letter?" Chen Ningya didn't answer Wen Youshan's question at all, and asked Wen Yuanxing about it as soon as she opened her mouth.
