37. Meaning is meaningful
In short, Mrs. Zhang wanted Liu Man'er to marry her second son instead of Zongzi.
When Liu Dong'er heard this information, she didn't know how to describe her state of mind. In her previous life, she felt that the Zhang family was a little shameless, but she didn't know that they could be shameless to this level. Yes, Zongzi is indeed more important than the second son, but that is also a son, is it good? I think it is uncomfortable to let a concubine who looks in the way marry Zongzi, so it will be comfortable to marry the second son?
Liu Dong'er couldn't stand it, so how could the old lady agree? In fact, the old lady only heard the beginning, and then she fainted with anger, so frightened that the wife of the Zhang family panicked for a while along with the maids.
waited for the old lady to recover, but she directly waved her hand to let Mrs. Zhang leave first, and didn't say anything, only that she was unwell, and let Mrs. Zhang touch a soft nail. It's just that the wife of the Zhang family is not so easy to deal with, not to mention that she had already thought about it before she came, and this time she must ask the old lady to agree, otherwise her sect's way out will be ruined!
Coming out of the old lady's courtyard, Mrs. Zhang did not leave at the first time, but took the maidservant girl straight to Liu Zhang's courtyard.
Liu Dong'er, who got the information, hurriedly rushed to Liu Zhang's yard, and saw Mrs. Zhang's crying with tears and snot to Liu Zhang's family, but Liu Zhang's expression was dazed and ignorant, as if to say, what happened What's going on?
Liu Dong'er really wanted to laugh when she saw Liu Zhang's innocent appearance. just listened to Mrs. Zhang's sad cry, so I endured it stubbornly. Walking to Liu Zhang's side with a straight face, Liu Dong'er asked in a low voice, "Mother, what's wrong?"
"Huh?" Liu Zhangshi became more confused than Liu Dong'er: "I don't know. ”
Liu Dong'er hurriedly asked the maid to hand over a cup of tea to Mrs. Zhang's throat, and at the same time asked the most curiously: "Mrs. Zhang, what's wrong with you?" Although the two families are relatives, generally Liu Dong'er does not call Mrs. Zhang's cousin and aunt. First, the relationship between the two families was not so close, and secondly, Liu Dong'er, who had experienced her previous life, felt that she was too close, and she was so disgusted that she panicked.
Mrs. Zhang cried so hard that she hiccuped violently after pouring a cup of tea.
Hiccups aren't a big deal, but they're a shame for a friend's wife. It just so happened that this hiccup was not like being sad and enduring it, and it was completely unbearable.
Seeing Mrs. Zhang's burping, let alone herself, Liu Dong'er looked at it calmly, and she couldn't help but shake her body at the moment when Mrs. Zhang's hiccup. In the end, Liu Donger was even more embarrassed than Mrs. Zhang's.
Alas, I don't know if there are any special herbs for hiccups......
In the end, Mrs. Zhang didn't answer the matter clearly, so she hid her face and walked away. Thinking about it, she should think about it again, that is her sect, and she will rely on it for the rest of her life!
The Zhang family here has stopped for a few days, and Liu Man'er's body over there can be regarded as a little better, as for not being as sick as before, he can't get up. Liu Dong'er is the most obedient, and she almost has to go to see her every day. Because this is a disadvantage caused by excessive worry, it is not a cold or something, but it is not afraid of infection, and Liu Zhang's does not restrain her, Liu Dong'er is very measured, and Liu Zhang's is the most at ease.
On this day, Liu Dong'er wanted to go to see Liu Man'er next door again, and the lobby sister blocked her in the house first: "Dong'er, report you a good message!"
Liu Dong'er was stunned, good information related to Sister Lobby, or good information related to Dafang? After a while, Liu Dong'er thought clearly: "Oh, I know, it must be related to the Xu family." ”
"How do you know?" The lobby sister looked at Liu Dong'er with a look of surprise, she was sure that she was the first to hear the information from her mother, this inconvenience came immediately, how could Liu Dong'er know in advance?
"I guess. Liu Dong'er blinked her eyes slipperyly: "I can only guess the possibility, and ask my sister to report Dong'er's details." ”
After listening to the first half of the sentence, the lobby sister couldn't help but feel a little lost, and after listening to the second half of the sentence, she got up again: "You must not have thought of it, right? The second young master of the Xu family is already engaged, so you don't have to worry anymore." ”
Liu Dong'er was slightly surprised, casually remembering the unfortunate fiancée of the second young master of the Xu family that she had heard about in her previous life, and she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"What's wrong with you, aren't you happy?" The lobby sister looked at Liu Dong'er with a treacherous face, she didn't say a word, but she confessed the meaning on her face at a glance.
Liu Dong'er was made to laugh and cry by the lobby sister's somewhat vague expression, and glanced at her angrily: "I'm just thinking about who is so bad that he wants to be the daughter-in-law of the Xu family!"
Hearing Liu Dong'er's words, the expression on the face of the lobby sister became more and more treacherous. looked at her for a long time, and then spoke mysteriously: "You have also seen the fiancée of the second young master of the Xu family." Last grandfather's birthday, last Lin family banquet, last tea party, that young lady was there. ”
Frowning, Liu Dong'er had an ominous expectation, how did she think that Sister Lobby meant something? After pondering for a long time, and combined with the events of her previous life, Liu Dong'er suddenly raised her head and covered her mouth in panic: "Oh my God, it can't really be her, right?"
"Huh, Dong'er, who did you think of? The lobby sister came forward with the most gossip, but Liu Dong'er didn't play with her as usual, but glared at her sternly.
"Sister, tell me clearly, is it the eldest lady of the Lin family who is engaged to the second young master of the Xu family?"
The lobby sister looked at Liu Dong'er in disbelief: "Dong'er, you are really amazing, you can guess this." By the way, next time I guess the lantern riddle, I will definitely take you with me, look at your guessing ability, you will definitely be able to win back a row of lanterns. ”
The lantern was not placed in Liu Dong'er's eyes at all, and her eyes were full of tragedies that had happened in her previous life at this time.
In two years, the aunt of the Xu family will come back, exposing the background of the second young master, and turning the Xu family upside down. At the same time, he humiliated the family of the second young master's fiancée, let his fiancée hang herself, and brought the Xu family to be suppressed by several friends and subordinates......
Taking a deep breath of cold air, Liu Dong'er didn't dare to trust it, the girl who was forced to hang herself in her previous life would be the eldest lady of the Lin family, Xuanniang?
It's really ......
"Sister, what's going on? You come into the house and talk to me about it. At this time, Liu Dong'er really can't take care of Liu Man'er, her body is not in serious trouble at this time, as for the recovery, heart disease still needs heart medicine, this is not a problem she can handle. What's more, she is more concerned about Xuanniang's environment at this time.
"Don't mention it, isn't it because of the last time I went astray? I sound like it's because of that incident, Xuan Niang and the second young master of the Xu family looked at each other. The threshold of the Lin family is not lower than ours, not to mention that Xuanniang is still the eldest daughter...... Dong'er I'm sorry, but I didn't mean you're bad. The lobby sister was halfway through her words, and immediately replied anxiously.
Sister Lobby Shicai's words have some meaning to slander Liu Dong'er, and Liu Dong'er doesn't care, what Sister Lobby said is the truth.
"Sister, this eldest daughter is more delicate than the second daughter, what you said is right, why do you want to say sorry?" Liu Dong'er really didn't care at all: "What I'm curious about is why the Lin family agreed to this marriage? This high-married daughter and low-begging daughter-in-law, the Lin family is no worse than the Xu family!"
In fact, the lintels of the Lin family and the Xu family are almost the same, and of course they are similar to the Liu family. Only, Liu Dong'er is the daughter of the second room of the Liu family, and both of them are long houses, which is a step worse for the Liu family in comparison. Therefore, the son of the Lin family is attached to Liu Dong'er, and he can be regarded as a good match. And the second son of the Xu family should not be worthy of Liu Dong'er, but the son of the Xu family is weak and doesn't know when he will go, and the Xu family is prone to have no wives and concubines, which makes Liu Zhang's family take a look, and only then will he hope to marry Liu Dong'er to the Xu family.
These two families with similar lintels do not have the reason to match the eldest daughter with the second son of the family. What's more, Xuanniang is not bad in terms of appearance or character, and it is more than enough to marry the son of an official eunuch. And at this time......
"I told you, that's what you want me to do. The lobby sister pursed her mouth disdainfully, as if she couldn't look down on Xuan Niang, she immediately remembered Liu Dong'er's engagement to the eldest young master of the Lin family, and immediately put away her contemptuous expression: "It doesn't matter, although the second young master of the Xu family is the second son, who in this city doesn't know that the eldest young master of the Xu family is weak, and the second young master has been raised as a grandson since he was a child." And I also heard that the second young master of the Xu family has excellent knowledge, and when he heard that he was going to take the exam, maybe he will have some great achievements!"
Liu Dong'er smiled bitterly, there is a great creation, and there is also a great sorrow. Thinking of all the things she heard in her previous life, and then remembering Xuanniang's sweet smiling face, Liu Dong'er always felt uncomfortable in her heart.
The lobby sister saw Liu Dong'er's expression in her eyes, and after thinking for a while, she felt that she understood, so she spoke and persuaded: "Dong'er, you can rest assured, few people in the Xu family know about the post, you don't have to worry about this." What's more, it's just a post, it's not even a pro-family, so there won't be a problem. ”
That's not what worries her.
Liu Dong'er smiled bitterly, although she knew some things in her heart, she couldn't say it. Otherwise, if someone asks the last sentence, how do you know, and how can Liu Dong'er reply?
Thinking that in the previous life, the Xu family finally fell to the realm because of this, and it really had nothing to do with Xuanniang's weakness. If she is willing to be more determined and accompany the Xu family to tide over the difficulties, there will be no problems in the future. The Xu family just raised the concubine as a sect and covered it up to outsiders. This is not a big crime at all, at most, it is just a little difficult to get along with the face of the Xu family.
