Jinyi Music

Chapter 35

While talking, Wu Lian pulled a young woman in a rough coat and a blue cloth headband into the room.

"Father...Mother..."

As soon as Erlian of Jia's family entered the door, she burst into tears. When the two of them saw it, they knew that the second son-in-law had probably beaten her again, and she came back to hide from others!
Jia Jincheng looked at his daughter up and down, and sure enough, he saw that the corner of her mouth was broken, and although she covered her forehead with her hair, she could still see a big bruise. Xiang Shi didn't feel sorry for her second daughter, so she scolded,

"It's almost New Year's Eve, why are you coming back?"

Er Lian's eyes were red and swollen, she obviously cried, she replied,
"Mom, I can't help it either. Guan Zhu has been walking around among his relatives for the past few days, and he eats wine every day..."

Jia Jincheng and his wife knew that the second son-in-law would beat the second daughter after drinking alcohol. Jia Jincheng's face was gloomy when he heard the words, and he was a little dissatisfied with the second daughter's return to her natal family, but he didn't want to make the family cry in this New Year's Eve, so he responded,

"Don't cry, since you're back, let's stay at home for a few days!"

After hearing this, Xiang Shi cursed and said,
"It's almost New Year's Eve, what are you doing running back here... It's bad luck for a married daughter to celebrate the New Year at her mother's house!"

As long as Jia Jincheng had spoken, she couldn't say anymore. Fortunately, the second daughter interrupted her, and she saved herself a beating, so she went to the kitchen cursing and gesticulating at the daughters. Out of anger.

So for today's dinner, because Erlian came home, she added half a dried rabbit. Jia Erlian devoured it, chewing the bones of the rabbit and swallowing it. Secretly felt sorry for her, no one picked up the rabbit meat in the bowl, only Jia Youchuan glared at Jia Erlian,

"Erlian, what are you doing back here? You've already married into the Guan family. You're no longer our Jia family!"

How dare you come back and grab meat from him!
Jia Jincheng frowned upon hearing this,
"Old Qi, what is not the Jia family, this is your second sister!"

After finishing speaking, Erlian took a look, and Erlian, whose face was more and more bruised, said to Sanlian,
"Cook an egg later, and apply it to your second sister..."

San Lian nodded, Jia You Chuan stared at Er Lian dissatisfied, and stretched out his hand to pull the bowl of rabbit meat in front of her...

After eating, the sisters returned to the house. Sanlian peeled the boiled egg, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and carefully rolled it on her forehead. Rubbing her forehead and the corners of her mouth, Si Lian and the others felt pain, but she didn't move her eyes, she was obviously used to it, San Lian felt her heart twitch, and said in a crying voice,
"Second brother-in-law, why are you so ruthless?"

Erlian sighed, closed her eyes, a tear flowed down from the corner of her eyes, she replied after a while,
"Third Sister, this is my destiny. He...he...he is still fine when he doesn't drink!"

Sanlian felt sad for a while, then shed tears and said,

"He is a drunkard, how can there be anyone who doesn't drink!"

Er Lian just closed her eyes and didn't speak when she heard this, while the younger sisters felt uncomfortable, Si Lian looked angry,
"Second sister, you are too useless, do you want him to beat you for the rest of your life?"

Er Lian didn't speak, Wu Lian and Liu Lian looked at each other, their faces were full of fear, the two of them were younger, and they were not ready to get married, seeing their sister's miserable appearance, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to marry up!

That night Erlian stayed at her natal home, and the next morning, the sisters were woken up by Mrs. Xiang, those who went out of the stall went out, and those who made breakfast made breakfast, and Sanlian took Silian and Wulian out of the house. Leaving Erlian and Liulian at home to serve their parents and brothers.

It was rare for Jia Jincheng to sleep in late, and he got up at night. After breakfast, he remembered that his daughters had to buy fabrics the other day, so he went out with his hands behind his back.

He turned around at noon on the street, found a tavern, had a meal of wine and two small dishes, and went to the Goulan to listen to music for a while in the afternoon. Seeing the snow falling outside and the sky getting dark, he bought some food in his pockets. The fabric went home.

The children at home have already returned, Jia Jincheng called San Lian over,
"You are going to get married, I will make you a beige from this piece of material..."

Taking it out, it turned out to be a piece of water-red cloth, and San Lianxi's face blossomed with a smile,

"Thank you dad!"

Jia Jincheng is also called Jiayou Chuan,
"Let your mother make clothes for you with this piece of material!"

Jia You was overjoyed and complained,

"Father, you didn't buy it earlier, it's the Chinese New Year tomorrow, so there's no time to do it!"

Xiang Shi hurriedly coaxed him,

"Don't be afraid, your second sister is back, let them catch up in a few nights, so that they can catch up with the festival clothes!"

Jia Jincheng called Silian over again, and gave her a piece of material,
"I see that this material can be made into a skirt, and you can make one to wear..."

Si Lian was also very happy, took the fabric, and Wu Lian and Liu Lian opened it to have a look, but a piece of fine soft satin, light yellow in color, was so soft in the hand that it seemed to melt away, Wu Lian and Liu Lian knew this They were so happy that they had a share of the skirt, the three of them said in unison,

"Thank you dad!"

Jia Jincheng was very happy, raised his hand to wipe the beard under his chin, nodded and smiled, Xiang Shi was dissatisfied when he saw it,

"Boss, Sanlian is going to get married, you can just buy it for her, what can you buy for these girls who are losing money!"

Especially Si Lian, who eats the inside out the most, and is a white-eyed wolf, so if you buy it for her, you will be blind!
Jia Jincheng glared at her,
"It's a new year... don't make me unhappy!"

Xiang Shi didn't dare to say any more.

So stumbling and noisy, finally it was New Year's Eve, the lords in the court would go to the palace to congratulate the emperor for the new year, but the small vendors in the market closed their businesses, and the daughters of the Jia family finally got a few days off , I didn’t come out to do business until the fifth day of the new year.

Jia Yuzuo worked diligently this year, and was appreciated by the governor, and at the end of the year, he gave an extra [-]% of the reward, so Jia's family had a New Year's Eve with meat, vegetables, new clothes and firecrackers. There are many daughters, and everyone worked together to clean up a table quickly, and in the eyes of Jia Silian and the others, a very sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner was served.

Finally, when it was New Year's Eve, Jia Jincheng didn't give Xiang Shi any embarrassment, and Xiang Shi also wisely didn't mention her mother's family to spoil her husband's interest, but just ate dried fruits, picked her nose and eyes at her daughters, and lost her temper.

Even if the parents don't quarrel, Xiang's family is just making ordinary noises. Jia Youchuan has new clothes and firecrackers, and there is no disturbance. Therefore, the Jia family is very happy this year. You Chuan went to a colleague's house to pay New Year's greetings, and came back with a lot of dried fruits and candied fruit. Jia You Chuan carried them all into his room, put them in a porcelain jar, and carefully hid them under the bed for later eating.

In the second year of junior high school, Jia Jincheng led a large family to Xiang’s house in the south of the city. Xiang’s face was dark all the way. Jia Jincheng really did what he said this time. The chicken and a piece of bacon, Xiang Shi felt shameless, thinking of the mean and ferocious face of his old lady, Xiang Shi felt frightened from the bottom of his heart.

Last night, she kept begging Jia Jincheng,

"Master, let's take the box of dried fruit that was rewarded in your yamen, shall we?"

Jia Jincheng said coldly,

"Dried fruit and candied fruit, didn't your two brothers bring them back first?"

Xiangshi thought for a while and said,

"Then...let that dead girl Silian bring out the good materials you bought. Zhen'er in her second uncle's family is going to get married too. Why don't I, as an aunt, have to add some makeup?"

Jia Jincheng smiled coldly,
"Didn't you give them the two green cloths in front?"

Seeing her husband's resolute attitude, Xiangshi could not persuade her, so she simply went to the daughters' house and searched for it by herself, but it was a pity that Silian and the others were prepared and hid the good things early, and Xiangshi was in the house I searched for a long time, but I didn't find the fabric, but I found the maltose in the bamboo basket on the beam.

"Okay! How many dead girls dare to steal behind my mother's back!"

Holding the last piece of maltose, Xiang Shi rushed out angrily and grabbed Si Lian first and asked,

"Say... Did you steal the money from the stall to buy candy?"

Silian blinked and replied,

"Mother, this is a reward from the customers at the stall..."

Xiang Shi was furious, raised his hand and slapped Si Lian,

"You little hoof with an outer heart, you gave it to a guest, you hide it and eat it at home, you don't even care about your parents!"

Jia You, who was on the side, was also very annoyed when he heard about it, and agreed,
"It's... Mother... She dares to hide it and not give it to me to eat. If you go and search in their room, there may be more!"

After all, without waiting for Xiang Shi to go in, he ran in and searched by himself, but none of the sisters said anything. After a while, Jia Youchuan came out with a face of unwillingness, pointed at the sisters and said,

"You said... where did you hide the candy?"

Silian replied,

"It's just this one piece, we saved it up for the New Year, but before we ate it...the mother found it!"

Xiang Shi and Jia You spread disbelief, but they almost demolished the house, and only got a piece of malt candy, and finally gave up cursing, and that piece of malt sugar was chopped into two pieces by Xiang Shi with a knife, and one piece was given to his son , Wrap it up and prepare to take it back to your natal home the next day.

Afterwards, the sisters gathered together, Sanlian patted her chest in fear, and whispered to Silian,
"Fortunately, you reminded me, I hid that piece of cloth elsewhere..."

Silian nodded, she knew which piece of cloth Sanlian was referring to, after two months the third sister would get married, at that time she would stuff things into her bag and take them away, she must not let them find them!

In this way, Xiang returned to her mother's house with only a piece of maltose in her arms. She entered the door nervously. When the second and third sons of the Xiang family came back, they knew that the eldest son-in-law did not let them take advantage of it. , so when he saw Jia's family coming, he didn't smile. When he saw that Jia Jincheng only had a chicken and a piece of meat in his hand, his face was so gloomy that dripping water dripped from his face.

Jia Jincheng already knew that they would be like this. He was working in the yamen anyway, and he had seen the dead and the living a lot. No matter how ugly the face of the second elder of the Xiang family was, it would not be uglier than a dead body that died unexpectedly. He sat down calmly. Next, even asked about Xiang Er and Xiang San,
"Father-in-law, when the second and third younger brothers came here, they brought two pieces of green cloth, why don't you make new clothes for your two elders?"
