And what about Miss Lan? Except for a distant uncle who was not close, there were no relatives beside her, as Han Ziye said, if they were really unwilling to absorb it, I was afraid that Miss Lan's future would be worried. But Liu Dong'er didn't say that she wouldn't absorb Miss Lan, but she was just a Shi eel, but the eel's charter had to be discussed again.
Han Ziye waited and waited, and when he saw that his mother and daughter-in-law didn't speak anymore, he was a little impatient: "Mother, Dong'er, I have promised Brother Lan that I will take good care of Miss Lan, no matter what......"
"Naturally, there is no doubt about taking care of a little orphan girl, but you can't afford to compensate Brother Jie, right?" The old lady of the Han family interrupted Han Ziye's words: "How did you and I choose a daughter-in-law for you at the beginning, don't you remember? I don't have to study those genres for a long time, but a little orphan girl whose parents are dead, no matter what, will not become the housewife of our Han family in the future!"
"I know this, but Miss Lan is really not bad. ”
"It has nothing to do with her. The old lady of the Han family really had a headache, she knew her son's temperament too well, just said a few words angrily, Han Ziye dared to show her face, but now she didn't dare to persuade her. It's just that if you let her agree with her, she is not happy: "Think about it yourself, our family is not such a small family, if you marry a daughter-in-law who has no mother's family, how can you say it? Not to mention, look at the Lan family, if Miss Lan's maternal grandfather's family was strong enough, Miss Lan would not have fallen into the current realm, right?"
Listening to the words of the old lady of the Han family, Han Ziye's face became even more embarrassed, but he had to admit that what the old lady of the Han family said made sense.
"Ziye, I can't help you this time, what my mother said is really reasonable. There is one thing, there are three little brothers in our family, and you have found such a marriage for Brother Jie, so what should Brother Tai and Brother Hao do in the future? Will the daughter-in-law they marry in the future be inferior to that Miss Lan? If they marry the right lady, how will they get along with each other in the future? Think about my relationship with my second brother and sister and third brother and sister, we are not close sisters, but we still have to care about it. ”
Han Ziye raised his head silently, his face dark.
Seeing his demeanor, Liu Dong'er also knew that Han Ziye had not withdrawn his claim, so he sighed helplessly, so he had to continue to persuade: "Ziye, you just came back today, you don't have to override it immediately, right?
"I'll be there early tomorrow morning. Han Ziye spat out these words, and then turned around and left first.
Seeing that Han Ziye left without even saying a word, the old lady of the Han family was so angry that she choked: "Dong'er, look at him, he has been so virtuous since he was a child." If it's something he doesn't care about, it's fine, but if it's something he cares about, then it must follow his affection. Normally I try not to touch his scales, but now this is the ...... I wouldn't agree. ”
"Mother, I know what you mean. It's just that now it seems that we can't make any difference. ”
Related to the strong veto of the old lady of the Han family, Liu Dong'er was a little more open. This is mainly due to the fact that her mother, Liu Zhang, is also an orphan girl whose parents died when she was a child. But the eel that kept her from vetoing was so powerful that it was a little difficult to get her to really approve of it. Not to mention, how many people are there who like to live with themselves? Moreover, Brother Jie'er's situation is very different from that of the second master of the Liu family.
At the beginning, the second master of the Liu family was the identity of the stepwife's son-in-law, which in the eyes of the official eunuchs, the stepwife's son-in-law was not as good as the serious son-in-law. What's more, at that time, the old lady of the Liu family had no way to take the old man of the Liu family from the original match, and she was just a merchant girl, for fear that after the boss, she would find an official daughter as her daughter-in-law, and it would be okay to control the back house of the Liu family, so she set her sights on the honest Liu Zhang's family.
But Brother Jie is the son of the Han family, the Han family's family is higher than the Liu family, and the request for the eldest daughter-in-law is also higher, Liu Dong'er does not have the jealousy of the old lady of the Liu family at the beginning, she can choose a suitable daughter-in-law in the right person's house, and she does not have to accommodate a little orphan girl whose parents have died and even her mother's family has really failed!
"Alas, I can't help it, if he is arbitrary, I can't stop this. Dong'er, I'm fine, you go over and see Ziye first, if you can persuade him, let him really do this, you have to be careful first. ”
Seeing that Liu Dong'er was a little nervous, the old lady of the Han family hated iron and couldn't speak steelly: "Usually I see that you are very smart, why do you want to owe Heng at this time?" Miss Lan is only five years old, and Brother Jie is only eight years old now, this engagement ...... What do you say? It's just a promise in front of Master Lan's eyes, and it's impossible for you to really write a marriage letter?"
“......”
"It's nothing, Ziye's father also ordered a doll for Ziye, and I was not happy to go back to the end. Could it be that the lady is not blessed to live to the end of the day, so what should she do when she grows up? It was agreed in the first place, and there was no exchange of tokens. Who can say for sure what will happen in the next 10 years? You can also give me a little more heart, and I can't write in black and white, and it doesn't matter what I say next to you. ”
Liu Dong'er had to admit that ginger was old and spicy, but she was still panicked in her heart. Miss Lan was unfortunate enough, and if she had refused from the beginning, she would not have been upset. But if you follow what the old lady of the Han family said, you will agree to it first, and then veto it after more than ten years...... I'm afraid that Miss Lan's life will really be ruined.
"I have been comforted by my mother for the time being, but my mother said that she would not make up her mind until she had seen Miss Lan. Out of the courtyard of the old lady of the Han family, Han Ziye was waiting outside the courtyard. Fortunately, she didn't talk to the old lady of the Han family for too long, otherwise this poor winter would not have to freeze out?" "You are really, on such a cold day, even if you are alive, you should go to the side hall to rest for a while." ”
Han Ziye's face was a little bright, he was a little angry just now. At this time, after staying in the cold wind for a while, my thoughts revived a little: "I'm sorry, Dong'er, I've been in a bad mood these days, and my tone has been a little worse just now." ”
"I'm fine, I'm afraid that my mother will come back to you to settle accounts. Liu Dong'er didn't bother to ask the maid to prepare a soft sedan chair anymore, and the Han family was not big, so it didn't take much effort to walk over. The two snuggled up and walked back to the courtyard, and along the way, Han Ziye also easily reported some things he had sought knowledge in the capital. It is true that the Han family has never treated Han Ziye badly in terms of money, but a young child seeking knowledge in a place thousands of miles away needs more than just money.
In the past ten years, although the Lan family's teeth were not luxuriant, they would not fall here. Han Ziye first met Master Lan's grandfather, who had already taught Han Ziye two years of study. It was because of this that Han Ziye was able to understand Master Lan that the two were not of average size, and they were not classmates and close friends at first.
Since getting acquainted with the Lan family, Han Ziye has often visited the Lan family. It's just that the situation of the Lan family has not been good in recent years, not to mention the career for the time being, just because of the loss of this raw tooth......
"Brother Lan's grandfather died peacefully, but Brother Lan's parents and brother's family all died sick. While talking, the two also returned to the courtyard, the warm dragon in the room was burning, and the maidservant made a pot of tea, and the two continued to talk in the outer hall.
In general, the recent situation of the Lan family is extremely poor, no matter how good the family is, if it is not prosperous among the family members, there is nothing to be done. Miss Lan's relatives are only her father, who is now seriously ill in bed and may choke at any time, and her distant relatives are only her uncle, who has never married at the border and has not returned to Beijing for decades.
This is a beautiful thing to say, Miss Lan is an unfortunate child.
But if it's a nice thing to say, this child's life is really hard.
Liu Dong'er didn't care about numerology, but she was very concerned about Miss Lan's physical state: "Ziye, you said that most of the people in the Lan family died of illness?"
"Yes, that's all right. Of course, it's not a stubborn eel, it's all some minor drawbacks at first, and it may have dragged on for a long time, and it didn't get through. Seeing Liu Dong'er's unbelieving demeanor, Han Ziye had to smile bitterly: "The people of the Lan family ...... It's not good all over the body. ”
"Why is that?"
"I don't know how to treat medicine, but the Lan family is not short of money, I heard that it should be a weak disease brought by the mother's womb, from Brother Lan's great-grandmother. After hesitating for a moment, Han Ziye himself felt that this matter was a bit of a statement: "It's really ...... I think Miss Lan's body is okay. ”
Liu Dong'er hung his head and had no words, if the Lan family was born as a military general, then naturally his body and bones were excellent. It can be seen from the fact that Master Lan's grandfather first chose to abandon Wu Congwen, and from this point of view, Master Lan's grandfather is afraid that he is also a little insufficient.
Slightly too breathing, Liu Dong'er didn't have any eel to control Han Ziye, but she still had to speak: "What was the eel's longevity when Old Master Lan's grandfather passed away? What is the eel's longevity?
"Brother Lan's grandfather died in the year of his destiny at the age of sixty. Brother Lan's father had just passed his fiftieth birthday a year before his death, and Brother Lan's brother had passed away at the age of twenty-nine. As for Brother Lan himself, he is two years older than me. Han Ziye frowned, and suddenly understood the meaning of Liu Dong'er's words: "Dong'er thinks that the Lan family is congenitally deficient, and the more you go to the opposite side, the worse your body bones will be?"
Liu Dong'er nodded, and then asked: "This Lan family's body is not good, what about the eel and their daughter-in-law?"
"I've seen Brother Lan's grandmother, maybe she passed away when we were in Luzhou City two years ago, but it is also a long life. I have never seen Brother Lan's mother, as if she was gone at a very young age. As for his brother...... I didn't know his brother well, but I knew that his brother had been seriously ill in bed since he was a teenager. ”
That's all congenital deficiency.
"Zino, I'm sorry, I don't like this marriage either. ”
Liu Dong'er didn't think of using the method taught to her by the old lady of the Han family, but she really couldn't bear to endanger a young and innocent child. She will not feel ashamed of refusing a marriage this time, and the two families kiss her as a mother and have the right to choose and refuse. But if you agree to it first, you will find a way to withdraw from your relatives later...... It's better not to say yes from the start!
Han Ziye opened his mouth, wanting to say that the eel didn't know how to speak, so he could only drink tea sullenly.
