104. Refusal
Mrs. Han suddenly collapsed her face, but she didn't write on her face, how do I know what she thinks.
Liu Dong'er smiled bitterly, this seems to be Mrs. Gu or something, it is not easy to mess with: "That little young master of Mrs. Gu, is there an engagement?"
"No, if he is engaged, it would be good, I don't have to be afraid of anything, just show Xi'er Xiang. "Then what kind of families did the two young masters have booked in front of them? Compare them and see if it is possible for Mrs. Gu to recognize this marriage." Liu Dong'er thought for a while and put forward a more reliable thought: "Mrs. Yougu is also a little dilemma? I don't know if our family still recognizes this marriage, otherwise I really can't figure it out, why did she go back to her parents' house before the New Year?"
"This ......" was asked by Liu Dong'er, the eldest wife of the Han family really didn't know how to reply, if it was said that Mrs. Gu really didn't care about this marriage, then she could simply get engaged to the young master of the Fang family, or even get married. Counting the age, the third young master of the Fang family was three years older than Xi'er.
"Mother, when will Mrs. Gu arrive?"
"According to the butler, it will be there in three days at most. "It's a pity that it hasn't snowed yet, otherwise this snow, God knows when Mrs. Gu and her party will be angry, thinking of the snow, Mrs. Han feels more and more that Liu Dong'er's words are reasonable. Before the New Year's Festival, I rushed back to my mother's house in different directions, if there was nothing important, it was really impossible to be trusted.
Thinking that Mrs. Gu was likely to be as troubled as herself, Mrs. Han's face was much better-looking. In fact, she didn't veto Han Xi marrying the third young master of the Fang family, she had already heard that the most distressed person in the Fang family was the youngest third young master. And Han Xi is not suitable for housekeeping directors, but it is very good to be a favored daughter-in-law.
Besides, this aunt Han Xi's own aunt, if Han Xi marries in the future, she won't suffer anything. Even, when Mrs. Gu returned to her parents' house, she could look at Han Xi twice.
Seeing the expression of the eldest wife of the Han family, Liu Dong'er knew that she must have thought that this marriage was possible. If there was no such expectation before, Liu Dong'er would have thought the same, but the problem is that in the room before, Liu Dong'er clearly felt the uneasy feelings. It's really bad to feel the same thing with her before you get married.
"Mother, when Mrs. Gu comes, do you want to tell her about it? Or do you want to wait for her to take the initiative to speak?" Liu Dong'er felt that it was unlikely that Mrs. Gu would take the initiative to speak, and she even questioned that Mrs. Gu did not come over this time for Han Xi's marriage.
"This ...... The most feminine is of course by her. "Generally speaking, marriage should be proposed by the man's family first, even if the woman is deliberate, she must entrust an insider to talk to the man, and then the man will come to the door to propose. For example, Liu Dong'er's marriage in the past was made by the eldest wife of the Liu family first, and then tactfully reported to the eldest wife of the Han family.
It's a pity that this is in a normal environment, Liu Dong'er thinks that Mrs. Gu is unlikely to take the initiative to talk about it, and she may even use some methods to force Mrs. Han to speak first. He hesitated slightly: "Of course, this is very feminine, but if Mrs. Gu forgets it temporarily, should ......my mother tell my grandmother first?" Not too good. ”
The eldest wife of the Han family had great hopes, and when she heard Liu Dong'er say this, she calmed down. Looking back at the limited few meetings with Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Han had to say that Liu Dong'er's thinking was very necessary. Mrs. Gu is not the kind of person who will take the initiative to speak, even if she particularly wants something, the most woman is someone else to speak, and she refuses a few more times before taking it far-fetched.
Seeing the thoughtful expression of the eldest lady of the Han family, Liu Dong'er relieved her heart. Fortunately, the eldest wife of the Han family is really different from Liu Zhang's two people, so she doesn't need to be as tired as when she was in her mother's house, she has to do everything herself, for fear that Liu Zhang's unstable will lead to some unnecessary results.
For the first time, Liu Dong'er knew what it meant to be the first to arrive before the sound of a person, and the person who hadn't seen Mrs. Gu before she heard a fairly beautiful voice ringing outside the door.
The old lady of the Han family is quite generous at this time, you must know that Mrs. Gu has not been back to her parents' house for almost ten years. Liu Dong'er didn't know clearly, Haozhou City is not far from Luzhou City, and the Fang family is not a family that can't afford to pay Sichuan money, why doesn't Mrs. Gu always go back to her parents' house to see? Is it not at ease that the aunt is at home alone?
Liu Dong'er lowered her eyes, she vaguely remembered that her aunt was jealous, and there was no half concubine in the room.
"Mother, my daughter really misses you!" Mrs. Gu can be regarded as entering, Liu Dong'er smiled lightly and watched her walk to the old lady of the Han family in three steps and two steps, really making a little girl regardless of her age at this time.
The two young masters of the Fang family are not bad in terms of inside, but Liu Dong'er only looks at one person, but he won't just stare at that person's inside. Because of staying with the doll for so many years, Liu Dong'er has more or less learned a little medical skills. Of course, most of her so-called medical skills can only confirm what symptoms the other party has, and it is a little difficult to treat and maintain them. If she encounters some doubts and miscellaneous symptoms, Liu Donger will still be a little hesitant and can't make up her mind. But about the two young masters of the Fang family, she really didn't hesitate at all.
There is a hint of crimson in the face, the eyes are full of bloodshots, the walking is a little cunning and unsteady, and then there is a slight bruise between the eyebrows and eyes, all of them comment that these two people are symptoms of excessive sex and lack of energy.
Lowered his head and smiled bitterly, if it was the second young master of the Fang family, it would be fine, he would definitely get married. But what about the third young master of the Fang family, he is young, and he has not yet married, and he has made his body look like this, I really don't know how this Fang family cultivates the young master. Liu Dong'er doesn't have a good impression of the other family, and even has a trace of doubt about his aunt's wife, and he can't even manage his son well, can he still be regarded as a passing mother?
The two young masters of the Fang family came over to salute everyone, although in Liu Dong'er's eyes, the character and style of these two young masters are very problematic, but in the end, the connotation of the Fang family is that their etiquette is half good.
At this time, Liu Dong'er didn't know Mrs. Gu's personality and formal style, so she was still slandering in her heart, and after she got to know Mrs. Gu more and more in the next few days, she was deeply touched by the thoughts of Mrs. Han and Han Xi being forced to come forward. Alas, there is one kind of person in this world that cannot be provoked by all.
Fortunately, on the first day, Mrs. Gu just talked to the old lady, and then she was taken down by the old lady's side to rest. And the old lady was very old, and she cried a lot, and was a little tired at this time, so she asked the maid to help her into the house and rest, and only said that she would eat together in the evening.
Liu Dong'er subconsciously glanced at Han Xi, who was next to the eldest wife of the Han family, and Han Xi's face didn't look very good. Thinking about it, the two young masters of the Fang family faced everyone openly and uprightly, even if they didn't understand medical skills, when they saw the faces of the two young masters, they could at least think that the two of them were not in good health. And what twenty-eight woman is happy to marry a lover who is weak?
Softly soothed the eldest wife of the Han family, Liu Dong'er knew her body. Previously, due to the rush to the funeral, and she didn't even notice that she was pregnant, this caused the fetus to be a little unstable. But since she learned the information of her pregnancy, Liu Donger honestly stayed in the room to raise the baby. And the doll was even more self-blaming, and continued to prepare all kinds of tonic soups for Liu Donger, and when it was only half a month, Liu Donger felt that she had gained a lot of weight.
Naturally, the child in the womb is also a lot more stable: "Mother didn't worry about me, but I also gave birth to Brother Jie, don't worry!"
"Well, I knew there would be so many things to do when you came back, so I might as well stay in Cheung Chau City at that time. The eldest lady of the Han family was a little depressed on her face, she herself came from a big family, and she had stayed in the Han family for many years. Compared with the happy days before when the eldest master of the Han family served in a foreign city, staying in the Han family was really oppressive and difficult. Coincidentally, Liu Dong'er was unlucky, and she found out that she was pregnant after returning to Luzhou City, but if she could have found out earlier, this trip would have been saved.
Liu Dong'er knew that the eldest lady of the Han family was for her good, so she knew in advance that she was pregnant, but in order to see the old lady of the Liu family for the last time, she felt that she would still come. It was her own grandmother.
Seeing that Liu Dong'er just smiled lightly, the eldest wife of the Han family would not dwell on this issue, what had happened, and said that those past things were meaningless: "Dong'er, if you are uncomfortable with your body, you must report it to me." You have to be clear, even if Mrs. Gu is favored, she is also a member of the Fang family, but you are pregnant with the heir of the Han family. I think the old lady can make it clear. ”
The old lady of the Han family can naturally be clear, you don't see that she has really exempted Liu Dong'er's greetings, and she also sends people to send some supplements from time to time. It's just that Liu Dong'er feels that no matter how precious the child in her belly is, there are still some face-saving things to do. This aunt has only come back once in many years, even if it is for the face of the old lady, she can't just hide in the house and not see each other, right......?
"Mother rest assured, if I really feel uncomfortable, I won't endure it. Liu Dong'er smiled and nodded, indicating that she had listened. Liu Dong'er will give face to Mrs. Gu and the two young masters of the Fang family, but the condition is that it is not risky. In fact, Liu Dong'er is an exemplary person who doesn't offend me, I don't jail, but if they do something excessive, then she can't be blamed. The world is big, and nothing is as important as the child in your belly.
Liu Dong'er looked at Han Xi, and her face was a little unbearable: "Mother, isn't there no news from Mrs. Gu's side?"
Shu Zongzi is really divided into two kinds.
One is that before the wife passes through the door, the concubine in the room becomes pregnant and even gives birth to a concubine, this kind of behavior is completely a slap in the face, not only the wife will lose face in the future, but even the mother-in-law with the wife will lose face together. In the families of official eunuchs, especially in some prestigious families, it is an extremely embarrassing thing.
And one is much better, for example, the Liu family has a concubine in both rooms. But that was the time when there was no way, the wife had not given birth to a son for ten years or even longer, so the wife made the decision to let the maid open her face, and then recognize the concubine under her name, but no one could say anything. Even if later, the wife gives birth to her own son-in-law, then she must give the concubine a face, in this environment, the concubine is different from the ordinary concubine, and even can enjoy the remuneration of the concubine. Of course, the heir of the family is still the son-in-law.
Only, no matter what kind of environment it is, it is always embarrassing to say it, usually before the wife gives birth to a son, the concubine has to drink the soup to avoid the child.
"Xi'er, my mother can't guarantee you at this time, try my best, my mother will withdraw from this marriage. "The eldest lady of the Han family said in the most tragic tone, and it is really not a thing that can be said to quit relatives, especially in an environment where there are relatives with each other.
Liu Dong'er couldn't help but think of the first time she got engaged, the eldest young master of the Lin family who had nothing to do with her, and Xuanniang, the daughter of the Lin family, who was very close to her but really cut off contact. At that time, how could the eldest wife of the Liu family withdraw her relatives for herself? Or maybe the Lin family's brother and sister were okay at this time? Calculating their age, they should have already married.
"Mother, Xi'er don't marry the Fang family's cousin. Han Xi opened her mouth tremblingly, she was still young, but it didn't mean that she didn't have dreams. In particular, her parents and brother and sister-in-law have the best relationship, and she has long dreamed that one day she can marry someone she likes. That person doesn't have too outstanding looks, and he doesn't need to have much talent, but he must be good to her. The most women can be like their fathers and brothers, and don't take people into the room at will.
Naturally, in Han Xi's mind, the maid in the room is not counted, but the concubine is something she can't take over.
The population in the backyard is more and more short, even if Han Xi is small, he grew up in a big family, and many things are considered to have not been personally experienced, but after hearing more and seeing more, he will naturally be blind. Before this, the young master of the Fang family had left Han Xi with a trace of expectation, but when he looked at it now, all his expectations had turned into ashes. That kind of person is not what she wants. The eldest wife of the Han family looked at Han Xi's expression of fear and important consciousness, and she was already very distressed, but she couldn't make any guarantees to comfort her lovely daughter. At this moment, she hated her lover first, hated him for leaving such a big mess, hated him for abandoning the three of them so early, hated him for giving up his promise and never returned. "Xi'er, with my mother here, my mother will definitely not let you be wronged. ”
Dinner was served in the lobby, a large round table carved with mahogany, and the table was full of women's dishes, and everyone from the Han family had already arrived.
Liu Dong'er and Mrs. Han glanced at each other, but didn't say anything. Although the status at this table is a little unstable, thinking about it, the eldest master of the Han family has passed away, and Han Ziye is not at home. There were three men in the second room, but because the second master was a concubine, he couldn't sit next to the old lady, so he didn't speak.
This can be regarded as a family banquet, right? It's just that Liu Dong'er feels that a place without Han Ziye is not a home. But in order not to disappoint the good interest of the old lady of the Han family, Liu Donger still dined with a light smile. Liu Dong'er is really good, even if she doesn't like Mrs. Gu and the two young masters of the Fang family, she doesn't have a reason to hate them, at least both of them can sit calmly, and even smile.
Except for Liu Dong'er, the faces of the people next to him are not so good-looking.
The eldest wife of the Han family and Han Xi were worried about the marriage, and they didn't know how to eat.
"Mother, I haven't seen Ziye for a long time, is he going to come back until the Chinese New Year?" Mrs. Gu was talking to the old lady in a low voice, and suddenly raised her voice, although her eyes did not look at Liu Dong'er, but she understood that she wanted her to reply.
Liu Dong'er was slightly stunned, and saw that the old lady had already turned her eyes, hurriedly put down the chopsticks in her hand, and put on a regular smile: "The beloved, he will indeed come back at the end of the year, and it should be soon." "At this time, the end of the year is only a little more than a month, and it is indeed fast.
The old lady nodded, she was not very satisfied with Liu Dong'er's reply, but she also knew that Liu Dong'er could not join in this matter. Han Ziye is an official in Changzhou City, not a joke. This official's leave is a rule of the imperial court, and no one can change it.
Seeing that the old lady didn't say anything, Mrs. Gu smiled and spoke again: "I haven't seen Ziye for a long time, we may stay until the end of the year this time, and I don't know if we can see Ziye at that time." ”
Han Ziye took a leave at the end of the year, and it was the journey from Changzhou City to Luzhou City, Liu Dong'er didn't think that his aunt would be lucky enough to meet Han Ziye. Unless, Mrs. Gu hopes to not set off until the twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth of the New Year, because it is still a question whether Han Ziye can catch up with the young year. Naturally, she would not say this kind of disappointing words, and in the face of Mrs. Gu, who was looking forward to meeting her beloved, Liu Donger smiled lightly in addition to a light smile. Han Ziye's journey was placed by himself, even if he wanted to blame Liu Dong'er, he couldn't find the reason.
I thought that Mrs. Gu would talk about Han Ziye, but I didn't want her to change her words, so she looked straight at Han Xi: "Xi'er, come over to Auntie's side, let Auntie take a good look at you." ”
Han Xi was taken aback, and almost couldn't hold the chopsticks in her hand, Liu Dong'er touched her hand under the table, which forced her to calm down: "Auntie." He answered softly, but Han Xi didn't stand up and go to Mrs. Gu's side.
"Xi'er, what's wrong? Come, auntie. Seeing that Han Xi didn't make any moves, Mrs. Gu called again, with a hint of impatience on her face in addition to a somewhat greasy smile.
Han Xi was the most hesitant, knowing that in addition to herself, there were two young masters of the Fang family on Mrs. Gu's side. Although they are relatives, but cousins and cousins are to avoid suspicion.
Liu Dong'er looked at Han Xi and reached out to hold her hand: "Is Xi'er embarrassed again?" Come, sister-in-law will take you over." ”
Glancing at Liu Dong'er gratefully, Han Xi's body was trembling slightly. Liu Dong'er took her hand and walked over slowly, but instead of simply walking in front of Mrs. Gu, she walked to the old lady's side: "Grandmother, Xi'er's courage is still as small as when she was a child!"
Regarding Han Xi's granddaughter, the old lady is still distressed: "Yes, Xi'er has been a coward and a shy character since she was a child. Blame your aunt, who told her that she hadn't returned to her parents' house for so many years, so that Xi'er didn't recognize her. ”
Mrs. Gu has not returned to Han's house for ten years, and ten years ago, at Han Xi's age, she would not remember Mrs. Gu, at most she had some impressions.
"Mother, look at what you said. Mrs. Gu accepted her impatient look this time, and raised her eyes to examine Han Xi: "Xi'er has really grown up, look, how much water is there!"
Liu Dong'er sensed that Han Xi's hand in her heart was trembling, and immediately took the initiative to pick up the topic: "Isn't it? I still remember the first time I saw Xi'er, she was still a little small! By the way, Yan'er was also with her at that time." ”
Mrs. Gu doesn't seem to have any fun with Han Yan at all, in fact, she doesn't have any fun about the second room of the Han family. is as tall as her, and she doesn't even look down on her mother's family, let alone the second master of the Han family. Hearing Liu Dong'er say this, Mrs. Gu did not argue, but stared at Han Xi with more and more interest: "Well, yes, Xi'er has really grown into a big lady, Aunt rarely came back in the past, but we can be close in the future." ”
Liu Dong'er vaguely felt that it would be a little bad to talk about this topic again, and hesitated slightly: "Auntie, you will come back often in the future." Xi'er is fine, this grandmother thinks that your hair is gray. ”
The old lady was amused by Liu Dong'er's slightly joking words, she was so old, even if no one wanted to, this hair would not come back, to put it bluntly, since she fell ill that year, even if she was cured later, her body and bones were not good. God knows how many years she has to live, and of course she is thinking about her daughter who is married far away. If it is a daughter who marries far away and can come back to see her from time to time, it is naturally very feminine.
"That's that, that's. Seeing the old lady's disapproving expression, Mrs. Gu naturally could only follow the topic, but the purpose of her coming here was not to reminisce about the past, of course, she had to find a way to round this topic back: "Mother, wait for the next time, I will take my old man and my two daughters-in-law back to my parents' house together, okay? There are two old children, and the second daughter-in-law is also pregnant, and I will bring them together next time." ”
"Okay, well, that's naturally very feminine. The old lady smiled so hard that she couldn't see her eyebrows, and said yes in a loud voice. The old man has worked hard all his life, and isn't he looking forward to his children and grandchildren around his knees? His own son has already passed away, and this only daughter is the person closest to the old lady.
While coaxing the old lady, Mrs. Gu interrogated Han Xi with a look that estimated the goods, and saw that Han Xi's heart palpitated for a while, and she couldn't wait to hide behind Liu Dong'er. Seeing this, Liu Dong'er also secretly felt that something was wrong, so he immediately opened his mouth: "Xi'er, my stomach is a little heavy, you can help me come back and sit." Although Liu Dong'er's voice was soft, it still fell on the ears of the old lady and Mrs. Gu, and it was not easy for the two of them to keep Liu Dong'er at the moment, so Han Xi also helped Liu Dong'er back and sat down. Sitting on the seat, Liu Dong'er noticed that Mrs. Gu looked at her with a hint of displeasure in her eyes, too, she had ruined her merits a few times, this can't be helped, she would never pay for Han Xi's life in order to welcome Mrs. Gu, right? No, Liu Dong'er had already taken Han Xi to avoid this, Mrs. Gu still did not give up, and she may have noticed Han Xi's unhappiness, and Mrs. Gu's tone had a hint of ridicule: "Although Xi'er is still young, she is not stable when she is such a coward. Our Fang family is a century-old family, even if it is a pure daughter-in-law, she should have the temperament of a friend's lady!"
Liu Dong'er quietly pinched Han Xi to calm her down, and the eldest wife of the Han family also gave Han Xi a look to calm her down. Although Han Xi still couldn't stop being afraid in his heart, he was not as flustered as Shicai.
There was silence in the room for a while, and the old lady of the Han family spoke first: "This matter...... Why don't I know?"
Mrs. Gu just wanted to speak, but Mrs. Han had already taken the lead: "Old lady, it's just a joke, Xi'er has been a coward since she was a child, and I never thought of letting her marry into a wealthy family." ”
"What do you mean by this? Xi'er doesn't marry a big family, so why do you have to marry her to a small family?" The old lady of the Han family frowned, her expression a little displeased.
"The old lady is relieved, Xi'er is my only daughter, how can I not think about her? In the early years, when my lover just passed away, I looked forward to Ziye having a child, and I missed Xi'er. The eldest wife of the Han family glanced at Liu Dong'er: "How good it is to be like Dong'er, my mother's family and my husband's family are closer, even if we don't usually meet each other much, this heart is also peaceful." ”
The old lady of the Han family has not yet spoken, and Mrs. Gu is already very unhappy: "Brother and sister, what you said is wrong, Haozhou City is not far from here, right? Besides, you said that you have already seen each other, but I am not happy, I told my brother in the past, Xi'er is going to marry my son." ”
"Mrs. Gu spoke, although the doll relatives in the past said it before his life, he said it at the time, and he was the son of Mrs. Gu's family. But then I thought that the age difference between the two was too much, so I just talked about it, and I didn't take it seriously. "The eldest wife of the Han family has already cooled down at this time, this kind of thing is to ask you to be willing to kiss, what is the matter of coercion? If the third young master of the Fang family is all right, this marriage is fine, how can a person who has been hollowed out before getting married make her feel at ease to marry her lovely little daughter?
"Brother and sister, what I said to my brother at the beginning was not that my family was old, but that my family was young. Mrs. Gu's expression was even more embarrassing than that of Mrs. Han, she thought that this marriage was a certainty, and she came over this time to think about whether she could ask for more dowries. Even if the Fang family is a wang family, her lover is also the son of the family, but at this time, the person in charge of the Fang family is not her lover.
The old lady of the Fang family had already said that it was the eldest grandson of the sect who would uphold the Fang family's industry in the future. First of all, Mrs. Gu was very happy about this statement. Her beloved has two younger brothers and three younger brothers. As early as more than ten years ago, the Fang family split up once, and the sister-in-law still had a good industry, and the concubine basically swept the floor and went out. She was quite satisfied with this.
At this time, it was her son's turn, but she was not happy.
Mrs. Gu has three sons under her knees, although she values the son more, but she is also extremely distressed about the two younger ones. Although the Fang family said that they would give their sister-in-law an inheritance, when those properties were given to her brother-in-law, she felt that it was too much, but when it was her son's turn, she was distressed first. What can be done with such an idea? Doesn't it mean that her two sons will suffer in the future?
Thinking that it was not a few years before they separated again, Mrs. Gu gave up a few young ladies with higher ranks, but she remembered her niece Han Xi. The Han family's family is not as good as the Fang family, but the Han family's industry is not thin. This is mainly because the heirs of the Han family have always been not prosperous, like Mrs. Gu's generation, it is okay to have two sons and a daughter, but further up they are basically single-handed, at most there are one or two daughters of concubines.
Thinking that although Han Xi is a girl, she is extremely favored at home. What's more, when the eldest wife of the Han family married into the Han family, Mrs. Gu went back to her parents' house to see it. Although the eldest wife of the Han family is not particularly outstanding in appearance, due to the early death of her mother, the dowry is all inherited by her, and the maiden family of the eldest wife of the Han family is not bad.
Mrs. Gu made a good calculation, and after marrying Han Xi, she could at least let her son have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life, but she didn't care about it. Moreover, in her opinion, her son is so good, she can take a fancy to Han Xi, and Han Xi should be secretly happy!
I don't want to, no matter how good the total is, it's useless, and the eldest wife of the Han family doesn't admit it at all.
"Mrs. Gu laughed, but what my lover told me was that your family was old, and when my lover said this, Xi'er was still in my stomach, so I could only say it casually, but it was not counted as a side. The eldest lady of the Han family's face sank like water, but Liu Dong'er noticed that her hand under the table was trembling slightly.
Mrs. Gu still had to say something, but Liu Dong'er couldn't let her say it anymore. If it was just a family banquet of the Han family, but in addition to Mrs. Gu, the two young masters of the Fang family were also present, and these words were still said in front of Han Xi, which was really embarrassing for Han Xi. Immediately, Liu Dong'er didn't care about it, and said to the eldest lady of the Han family in a slightly anxious tone: "Mother, you can talk about the marriage slowly, I think that Brother Jie must be crying first at this time, why don't you let Xi'er help me come back and have a look, okay?"
The eldest lady of the Han family was a little angry at first, but when she heard Liu Dong'er say this, she immediately became clear: "Old lady, Dong'er is pregnant, and she is worried about Brother Jie'er, why don't you let Xi'er help her to rest, okay?"
The eyes of the old lady of the Han family fell on Liu Dong'er, Liu Dong'er smiled indifferently, she didn't think that the old lady would even want the face of the Han family for the sake of Mrs. Han. The old lady just hesitated for a while, then waved her hand at Liu Dong'er: "Go down and rest, Xi'er takes care of your sister-in-law." ”
Han Xi responded crisply, then picked up Liu Dong'er and left quickly. Looking at her farewell posture, it looked like her eyebrows were on fire.
Mrs. Han forgot one thing, Mrs. Gu is not so easy to deal with. Especially after Mrs. Gu was ruthlessly disgraced.
"Hmph, who approved it? I seem to have heard my brother and sister say that my brother said that there was such a marriage before his death. ”
The eldest lady of the Han family was a little surprised, what she said before, what the fingertips were married to, they all said that it was a joke, and the eldest young master of the Fang family also resolutely got married, but it didn't matter: "The fingertips for marriage that I said before was just a joke, otherwise how could Mrs. Gu let the eldest young master of the Fang family marry a few years ago?" Mrs. Gu, do you say yes?"
Mrs. Gu's expression was already dark, but she laughed angrily: "Hehe, I understand, I understand at this time." Dare to love my brother and sister take a fancy to my family's patriarch, and he is also the next inheritor of my family, right? Is that going to let my eldest daughter-in-law abandon me and later come to the door to propose?"
This is clearly a bloody mouth!
Mrs. Han was so angry that her expression turned pale, and she couldn't calm down no matter what. Huo Ran stood up: "I always knew that Mrs. Gu loved to be happy, but I didn't know that Mrs. Gu would use the reputation of the Han family's concubine to find happiness! Since Mrs. Gu has to talk about engagement, what about the birthday? Maybe there is a matchmaker? If not, please give me a reply, but my daughter is not ashamed of others!"
"Enough!" Seeing that the words were on this, the old lady of the Han family threw her chopsticks on the poop: "Do you two take my wife in your eyes?"
The eldest lady of the Han family was pale and silent, but her eyes were staring at Mrs. Gu. And Mrs. Gu's face is naturally not good-looking, but in relation to the eldest wife of the Han family who is worried about her daughter's future, she just feels that she has lost face, and she has always lost face in the second room of the Han family, which she has always looked down on.
"Mother, I want to be a matchmaker with good intentions, how can my younger siblings talk like this. Is it possible, my son, the third young master of the Fang family is not worthy of her daughter?" Mrs. Gu was thinking, saying this matter in front of her friends, the eldest lady of the Han family could not easily refute it no matter what. And she inconveniently argued, then this matter was half done, and then she let out a little bit of the wind, saying that the two families were going to kiss each other, and then this marriage could be regarded as a real success.
What Mrs. Gu can think of, how could Mrs. Han not think of it? Proposing marriage in front of so many people is still a sure mind, if she swallows her anger today, then the Fang family has given up this marriage in the past, and her daughter will never find a good family again. What's more, she really knows too much about Mrs. Gu, if she doesn't say anything today, Mrs. Gu will be sure of her when she looks back. At that time, the initiative of the matter will fall into the hands of Mrs. Gu, and she and her daughter will really have no chance of coming forward. "Mrs. Gu, how is it to be a matchmaker, don't report to me that you already have two daughters-in-law and don't know? What's more, it is you and I who marry men and women, and I don't want to do it today, please do it yourself!"
After the eldest lady of the Han family said this, she left like an old lady. And the second room of the Han family looked stupid at this time, and when they saw that the people in the big room were gone, they naturally said goodbye. It didn't take long for the people in the house to be left with only the old lady of the Han family and the aunt and the prince.
Mrs. Gu was really angry, she really didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Han family would not give her face so much, and she simply spoke and said that she was unwilling. What's wrong? Is her son so bad?
"Mother!" Mrs. Gu was the most angry: "Mother, don't you care about her? You wait for her to climb on your head one day!"
The old lady of the Han family pursed her lips and said nothing, her eyes swept over the two young masters of the Fang family. The two young masters of the Fang family looked at each other, the second young master of the Fang family said goodbye, and then took the third young master back to the guest room under the leadership of the maid.
"Mother, what does she mean? Why is she unwilling? Even if she is unwilling, she can't just say it, right?" Seeing that her two sons had left, Mrs. Gu did not hide it at all.
"If she doesn't refuse, do you understand?" The old lady of the Han family could be regarded as having opened her mouth, but her tone was not very good.
Mrs. Gu's face was a little bright: "Mother, why do you say that? Didn't I lose face by her? Anyway, this is still my maiden family, right? She didn't save me any face." ”
"Suppose she saves face for you, what will happen to you? Is it when she acquiesces to such a marriage?" "How could the old lady of the Han family not understand the daughter she gave birth to? And it's still the kind of attitude that "we haven't all made up for it" that makes people indefensible.
"My aunt was not happy, she was already very unhappy, and her mother didn't comfort her, so she helped outsiders!"
It's just that Mrs. Gu doesn't seem to have thought about a problem, as far as the Han family is concerned at this time, she is an outsider.
"Since there has been an agreement, why don't I really know about this matter? Besides, since there was an agreement at the beginning, why didn't I send Elder Yue over to settle this matter?" At her age, her only biological son died early, which means that she will have to live by the face of her grandson in the future. At such times, it is unwise to blame the daughter-in-law.
When Mrs. Gu heard the old lady say this, her face became even more embarrassed: "Is my mother questioning me? How could I make up such a lie to deceive you? ”
The old lady of the Han family didn't question that Mrs. Gu would cheat her, but instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, but when he looked up again, there was a trace of anger on his face: "Hmph, I see that you are looking for your son's marriage first, if there is a good one, simply pick someone's house, if you don't look down on someone else's family, then come back to Xi'er, right?" The old lady did not forget, the eldest wife of the Han family also recognized the engagement before, but only recognized that the other party was the eldest young master of the Fang family.
