Chapter 638 Letter from Dizhou

   Seeing so many boxes, Xie Nianzhong's curiosity was all written on his face, "Mother, are these all given to our house by my uncle? But things from the new house?"

Wen frowned and shook his head, "This house is not short of everything. Before, your little aunt ordered a lot of pots, pans and pans and new quilt materials. How could your uncle send us these things again? Wait for them to move. Let's take a look when we're done! Hey! I really owe you two uncles a lot this time."

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

  Xie Nianbo nodded in agreement.

  Shi Wen smiled bitterly, "That's the only way to do it. You remember how to be filial to your elders on weekdays, and help you wherever you are needed."

   "We know!" The brothers responded obediently.

After all the boxes had been moved, Xie Nianbo personally sent those people out, closed the door of the house, and when he came back, he just heard Wen's muttering: "Forget it, there are thirty big boxes alone, and some more. Small box, don't know what's in it?"

   "Open it and see if you don't know!" Said Xie Nianzhong to get started directly.

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

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

   This time, Xie Nianbo did not stand and watch, but came to help. When all the thirty boxes were opened, the mother and son were all silent, standing in a pile of boxes, and the three of them were a little dazed.

Xie Nianzhong swallowed his saliva sharply, unable to see through his eyes, and said timidly: "Mother, brother and uncle, don't you think it's all right! All the valuables, as well as gold and silver jewelry! "

   Anything 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.

  Shi Wen came back to his senses and nodded uncertainly, "I guess so. Yesterday, I heard from your little aunt that your 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 in the vicinity got married, the dowry was at most ten or twenty taels of silver. It would be good to have three or four taels for the dowry. How can we give so much!" Xie Nianzhong Said heartily.

Wen's expression was indescribable, "You also said that it was in the south of the Yangtze River. There are ordinary people around our house, and marriage is naturally simple. Now in the capital, we must know a lot about the relationship between our family and your uncle. Hired under the rules of ordinary people, it is estimated that your uncle and the others have no face!"

Speaking of this, Mrs Wen suddenly doubted whether it was right for him to bring his family to the capital. If they didn't come, they would still be able to live comfortably as ordinary people in Jiangnan. No, Jiangnan probably knew about their family's situation. It's even more restless to stay there.

  Thinking about it, Mrs Wen raised her forehead with a headache and looked at her two sons, "Forget it, don't worry about it, put things away first, and I'll ask your uncle to see how he arranged it."

The two brothers had no objection. They moved things to a safe room together. After the windows and door were locked, even the courtyard door was locked. Finally, they told the concierge who looked after the door to watch carefully, and then returned to Duke Anguo with Mrs. Wen. government.

  Chen Ningya looked at the mother and son with a lot of worries and asked.

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

After listening carefully, Chen Ningya carefully analyzed with the three of Wen's family: "Based on the current situation of the Xie family, if Nianbo and Nianzhong are married to a girl who is the second highest in the family, they are probably married with a purpose. , it won't do you any good, I mean to marry a girl of the same family, it's fine, it's better to have a simpler family, so that the pressure on the 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 uncle should just give things equally, you can use them as you see them, you don't have to use them all as dowry gifts, and keep them for future needs. Isn't it better? "

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

After the mother and son were fooled away, Chen Ningya breathed a sigh of relief, and when Wen Youshan came back, she brought it up and said with some humor: "Uncle is really doing things, he is resolute, and he does not make a sound. Just get the things over, he has done so much, but we can't give more, otherwise the words I said before will not stand up!"

  Wen Youshan was helpless and emotional after hearing it, "Big 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 children and daughters in the future. Why don't you leave more for your own children?"

  Chen Ningya was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Maybe the eldest brother is ready. With his temperament, it is not unreasonable, that's all, we will look at it later and give more."

   The husband and wife did not mention it again after they had summed it up.

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

Chen Ningya woke up early in the morning, looking at the cloudy sky outside the window, Tong Lanling instructed: "Today I'm going to change into the winter quilt, I'll go to my aunt and the others later to see, and prepare all the clothes and quilts that need to be added or removed. On the other side of the eldest man, the comfort quilt that was originally prepared is probably not enough, and a few thick quilts have to be made in a hurry."

"Madam, don't worry, the servant will do it now." Lan Ling just walked out the door, then turned around and said to Chen Ningya, "Also, there is news from Dizhou this morning, it seems to be about the third master. ."

   "The third child has written a letter?" Chen Ningya's eyes shone with surprise, and her whole person became much more alive.

  Lan Ling was also very happy, and nodded again and again, "It should be from the third master. The letter is from the father of the country, but do you want the servant to fetch it for the wife?"

  Chen Ningya shook her head, thinking that Lan Ling was too busy to come and go, so she picked up her skirt and walked out, the cold wind outside could not stop her footsteps.

   In Wen Youshan's study in the front yard, Wen Yuanliang was also there. Sandalwood incense was lit in the room.

  The two of them got up when they saw Chen Ningya coming over. Wen Youshan immediately brought her a big cloak and put it on, and reprimanded softly: "The weather has changed today, why don't you know how to wear an extra dress?"

   "The third one has written a letter?" Chen Ningya didn't pay any attention to Wen Youshan's question at all, and she started to ask Wen Yuanxing about it.
