Seven days before Yu Hui's death, Hong Ying was sitting in the yard chatting with Liu Yongniang. At this time, a fortune teller passed by the door. He was wearing a melon hat, a pair of sunglasses and a green cloth gown. He came in
Asking for a drink of water.
Hong Ying went in to bring water.
The fortune teller looked at Hong Ying's face and said to Liu Yongniang: Is this your daughter?
Liu Yongniang said: She was originally a maid hired by my daughter-in-law, but later she refused to marry, so she became the godmother of my grandchildren.
The fortune teller said mysteriously: No wonder she doesn't marry, look at her face, no one is worthy of her!
Liu Yongniang asked curiously: Fairy family, how do you say this?
The fortune teller said: Although this girl is of low origin, she is destined to be rich and noble, and she has the appearance of a prosperous husband. She will be granted the title of Lady in the future! This is something that most people are not lucky enough to marry.
Liu Yongniang was doubtful and asked: Are you serious about this?
The fortune teller said disdainfully: Old madam, let's put it this way, people call me Wang Banxian. If this girl hasn't received a royal decree in ten years, you can ask someone to smash my sign!
Hong Ying came out with water.
Wang Banxian took the tea from Hong Ying's hand and drank it in one gulp. He looked at Hong Ying again.
He thanked her and said to Liu Yongniang with a smile: "Old lady, remember what I said, it's not wrong." Then he left.
After Wang Banxian left, Hong Ying asked Liu Yongniang strangely: This fortune teller is mysterious, what do you want you to remember?
Liu Yongniang smiled and said: He said that if you look like a prosperous husband, you will become rich and powerful in the future, and you will also be granted a royal title.
When Hong Ying heard this, he laughed loudly and said: Do you really believe him? I am already an old girl, and I am rich and powerful, and I still have a royal title? I don't have such a life. After saying that, he entered the house.
Liu Yongniang thought about it in her heart that night. Her son is a man of his own opinions. The current situation is so uneasy, and nothing can stop him. If today's Wang Banxian is accurate, and Hong Ying really has the appearance of a prosperous husband, then
It's better to let her son marry her. In this way, with her luck as a helper, his fate will at least be peaceful!
Liu Yongniang did as she said. She first pulled her son into the house, closed the door, and gave him some serious persuasion.
Liu Yong always kept Yu Hui's instructions in mind. Liu Yong thought of Yu Hui's worries before his death, fearing that marrying someone else would be bad for his children, so he had to let him marry Hong Ying. Although he had no relationship with Hong Ying,
We are not in love, but after getting along for so long, they have become like family members.
Liu Yong said to Yu Hui silently: Yu Hui, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, but you must also hope that Hong Ying will live well, right? If Hong Ying can find a good home, you will definitely be happy for her, right?
?
But since his wife's death has not expired for one year, he cannot think about renewing the relationship. Besides, he does not know that Hong Ying has promised Yu Hui, so he does not know what to say.
Now that Liu Yongniang was threading the thread through it, the matter was much easier to handle. She didn't expect that both her son and Hong Ying agreed readily, which made her murmur in her heart, but she couldn't control much.
Liu Yongniang prepared three matchmakers and six appointments, and went to the Song family in Jili Village to propose marriage. Hongying's parents were eager for their daughter to get married. Although Liu Yong was already the father of four children, he was his old employer after all, and his family was well-off and well-mannered.
If you know the basics, you will naturally not be unwilling.
But both Liu Yong and Hong Ying hope not to rush into marriage, at least until Yu Hui's mourning period has passed.
When I heard that Liu Yong was going to remarry Hong Ying, Mrs. Xu of Qiu Xiancha, the stone hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground. She was also afraid of long nights and dreams, and worried that her family would always think about Hong Ying. She came up with an idea to get the two of them married.
Don't consummate the marriage later and live together after Yu Hui's funeral.
This compromise was approved by everyone, so Liu Yong and Yu Hui got married. In order to prevent Shen's father from getting hurt, Hong Ying first worshiped Shen's father as his adoptive father, and Liu Yong remained his son-in-law.
On the night of the wedding, Liu Yong took off the hijab of Hong Yong, and the two drank Hexin wine. Hong Ying leaned his head on Liu Yong's shoulder and said: I have been waiting for this day for 16 years. Then he went to his room to accompany An Jiang. Go to sleep.
After Hong Ying put An Jiang to sleep, he quietly went to Yu Hui Ling Hall to light incense candles.
Hong Ying stared at Yu Hui's lead portrait and said: Sister, he and I have already paid homage, can you rest in peace now? Don't worry, no matter whether I have children with him or not, the four children are my biological children. Dongmei and Qiumei will be married in a few years. When the time comes, I will give them a beautiful marriage on your behalf. Anlan and Anjiang, I will urge them to study hard and earn a royal life for you in the future. I will also I will take good care of your adoptive father for you and provide for him until his death.
Hong Ying watched the incense candle burning quietly and said with tears: Sister Yuhui, I really miss you!
Liu Yong stood outside Yu Hui's mourning hall. Hearing what Hong Ying said to himself, he sighed deeply and returned to the bridal chamber alone, where the flowers and candles were burning.
Liu Yong couldn't help but think of the wedding night when he married Yu Hui nineteen years ago. They were two young people and a happy couple. Although his family was poor at that time, they lived happily. He said to himself: Yu Hui, I didn’t expect that our relationship as husband and wife would not even last twenty years. It’s fate.
That night, Qiu Xiancha was also tossing and turning and unable to sleep. He watched helplessly as Hong Ying married Liu Yong and became his sister-in-law. He was drunk alone in the room. He did not understand why Hong Ying had Not choosing himself? He thought that Hong Ying and Liu Yong had been together for a long time, which was the reason why they had been in love for a long time.
The next day, Liu Yongniang called Dongmei and Qiumei to her and asked them: Is Auntie good to you?
The two sisters said in unison: OK!
After all, Dongmei is already a grown-up girl and she said: Auntie has taken great care of our daily life and daily necessities. She taught us how to embroider, how to behave, and how girls should protect themselves. My sister and I are already so When she got older, she often got up in the middle of the night to cover us with quilts.
Liu Yongniang smiled and nodded. Then she said: Your mother died early, and your aunt will be your mother from now on. From today on, you should change your name to aunt.
Sisters Dongmei and Qiumei nodded.
…
Hongying is packing things in Dongmei and Qiumei's room.
Dongmei went in, pouted, and said: Mom, my sister and I have run out of "ice cream".
It was the first time Hong Ying heard someone call her mother. She was stunned for a moment, thinking she heard wrongly, and then thought Dongmei was hallucinating about her mother. She stared straight at Dongmei.
Dongmei repeated: Mom, my sister and I have run out of "ice cream".
At this time, Hong Ying woke up and realized that Dongmei was calling her. She pulled Dongmei into her arms and stroked Dongmei's head with her right hand. Tears kept falling, and she choked and said: Mom, I know. , Mommy will buy it for you later.
Dongmei saw Hongying crying and asked with concern: Mom, why are you crying? Are my sister and I disobedient?
Hong Ying shook his head and said: Mom is very happy today.
After hearing Hongying's promise to buy "smooth cream" later, Dongmei went out happily.
Dongmei went out, but Hongying was still sitting there in a daze. Tears were still flowing.
Liu Yong passed by the door and saw Hong Ying sitting there crying alone. He came in and asked with concern: "Why are you crying? Are the children making you angry, or are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Hong Ying leaned his head on Liu Yong and said: Dongmei called me "mother" today. I know the word "mother" and how heavy my responsibilities are.
Liu Yong deeply admires the woman beside him who he has been with for 16 years. This chapter has been completed!
