32. Surprised
It is also possible that after she and the Xu family set up a marriage, the Xu family may not be as miserable as in the previous life, think about it from another angle, she has no relatives with the Xu family and has no reason, why should she gamble for them? What's more, there are some things that you don't care too much about, but the nature of the Liu Zhang family is very idle and sorrowful. What's more, she has a sister-in-law at this time, if her marriage is not going well, maybe she will still bring her younger sister.
Thinking about the past, the young lady who was engaged to the Xu family would hang herself because of this, part of the reason was that she had several sisters who had been married, but because of her relationship with the Xu family, she was tragically divorced.
In life, there are really many things that need to be considered. In Liu Dong'er's mind, Liu Zhang's and Longfeng's younger siblings are far more important than the Xu family!
"Mother, take a look at it again, it's not that Dong'er can't get married, why do you have to marry into the Xu family?" Liu Dong'er couldn't find any real reason, so she could only be childishly coquettish: "Dong'er is still young, so my mother wants to marry Dong'er out with her eyebrows." ”
Liu Zhangshi nodded Liu Dong'er's nose funny, and hugged Liu Dong'er in his arms the most dotingly: "Mother's magic weapon Dong'er, my mother also wants to take care of you so well all her life." It's impossible, how can a girl not get married? Dong'er, you can rest assured, my mother must find you a proper and stable family, so that you can live a happy life. ”
Liu Dong'er just raised her head and smirked at Liu Zhang's, and accompanied Liu Zhang's to read the surplus post.
I have to say that the old lady's vision is still good, and the posts she picked out are very reliable. It's just that Liu Zhang's family not only wants to look at the character of the family, but also wants to find a family that is kind-hearted and generous. Because of these requests, only the Xu family and the Lin family were singled out in the end.
This Xu family, Liu Dong'er would never agree, but she couldn't say a better reason, so she could only watch Liu Zhang's pick out the Xu family's post. A Lin family, Liu Donger is not familiar with it. This can't be blamed on her, even if she has been reborn, but in her previous life, she was sick and weak, unless she was like the Xu family, it was still very difficult for her to know.
It doesn't matter, Liu Dong'er is nine years old, even if this dynasty is used to marrying early, nine years old is still early. There are at least two years to buffer, but if Liu Dong'er hasn't settled down after two years, I'm afraid that Liu Zhang's family will not be able to sit still.
In fact, Liu Dong'er thought too much. Even at this time, Liu Zhang couldn't sit still. There is no way, if the Liu family is the only sister in the lobby who has set up a marriage, Liu Zhang's family will not be so anxious. Last time, Liu Dong'er dragged Liu Man'er in order to get out of trouble. At this time, Liu Man'er's marriage with the Zhang family is ironclad, and she is going to be unlucky.
I really didn't expect Liu Zhang's to be so Kongyin, so when Liu Dong'er heard that Liu Zhang's was going to hold a tea party, she was taken aback.
To put it mildly, Liu Zhang's family agreed to Liu Dong'er's request and changed the tea party to the eldest lady's dust washing banquet. Although there are no changes in essence, it sounds like a real difference.
Contacting the various experiences of her previous life, Liu Donger had already figured out the psychology of the eldest wife at this time. The eldest lady is the daughter of a high family, and she has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child, as well as all kinds of majestic rules. If you keep the rules, she will look up to you. But if you don't follow the rules and show her face, then it's not beautiful, and the eldest lady has never been a harmonious person!
Although Liu Zhang's family wanted to hold a tea party in order to find a good family for Liu Dong'er, the proposed time point was not stable.
The eldest lady had just returned to Liu's house, and the old lady was not willing to let go of power, so she was on fire at this time. If, at this time, Liu Zhang's speech was to hold a tea party in the name, wouldn't that give the eldest lady a face?
Although Liu Dong'er has been reborn once, some things are much better than in his previous life, but if he talks about scheming, he is not the opponent of the eldest wife. What's more, their mother and daughter have no grievances with the eldest wife, so why should they not get along with her? In addition, the dragon and phoenix fetus are still young at this time, and they may ask for the eldest wife in the future. It can be said that there is no benefit in opposing the eldest wife.
suppressed Liu Zhang's family, Liu Dong'er also asked her to go directly to the eldest wife, the most woman held a banquet in the name of the eldest lady this time, and the reason did not need to be hidden. The marriage of the lobby sister has been decided, and it is extremely woman, and the eldest lady has no reason to block Liu Dong'er's marriage no matter what.
Liu Zhang's just made a start, and the eldest lady understood the meaning of her words. Regarding Liu Dong'er, although the eldest lady does not feel as sorry for her as much as she feels sorry for the lobby sister, she still has some good feelings. At least Liu Dong'er is very dexterous, and she is not as stunned as Liu Zhang's, and many things will be done obediently with a little dialing, so that the eldest lady feels that Liu Dong'er should respect her very much, otherwise she would not be so dexterous.
Naturally, this kind of weather is caused by Liu Donger's determination. Liu Dong'er knows very well that Liu Zhang's porridge really has no reason, but the old lady's porridge herself is due to her dexterity and filial piety. So if you want the big lady to cook herself, these are far from enough. The eldest lady doesn't deal with fools, and it's not something that a small favor can buy, the only way is to show her that she is smart and capable, and of course, more importantly, she has undisguised reverence for the eldest wife.
In short, Liu Donger finally won the approval of the eldest wife. Then about the marriage of the niece she approves of, the eldest lady will naturally not block it. What's more, no matter how well this Liu Dong'er marries, she will definitely not be as good as the magic weapon daughter.
The tea party finally came first as scheduled, nominally saying that the eldest wife of the Liu family had not returned for a long time, and invited the noble wives of each family to reminisce about the old relationship together, and by the way, he also told each family to bring their children.
If the eldest lady didn't add this last sentence, the families who received the invitation really thought that the eldest lady of the Liu family wanted to catch up with them. Adding the last sentence is not ordinary, considering the age of the two young ladies of the Liu family, the hearts of the noble ladies who are like spirits are bright!
On the day of the tea party, Mrs. Gui fulfilled the promise. A tea party like this is generally divided into two groups, one for the ladies and one for the ladies. This time, each lady was advised by their wives to talk to Miss Liu about their brothers.
It's not that the young master didn't come this time, but the three young masters of the Liu family are too young, so they came out to welcome guests. In addition, the young master who can marry the two young ladies of the Liu family is also a little old, and it is difficult to bring it to the backyard, so this time, the noble ladies will at most bring their own young master over. This Liu family has a baby daughter.
Because of the guests invited in the name of the eldest lady this time, it is naturally the lobby sister who greets the ladies hard. Liu Dong'er didn't have the idea of doing anything with the lobby sister at all, she knew her own affairs, even if she had more experience than others, she would not learn to greet guests without a teacher. You must know that in her previous life, let alone welcoming guests, she even went out as a guest as a morning star, and the only few times she went to Zhang's house.
Looking at the lobby sister calmly instructing the maids and mothers-in-law to do things, Liu Dong'er showed an expression of admiration from time to time, and every time the lobby sister's eyes fell on her, she easily confessed her reverence for the lobby sister. Rao is lobby sister often follows the eldest lady, and she can be regarded as a well-known person, but she is still a child, and she is very useful about Liu Donger's modest sycophant.
As soon as this mood was comfortable, the lobby sister's words could not be contained, even if the ladies had already arrived, she still patiently explained some precautions with Liu Dong'er.
For example, it was a young lady from a certain family, and after explaining it clearly to both parties, she whispered to Liu Dong'er about the other party's secrecy and her marriage with other people's families.
No matter how big Luzhou City is, there are only so many big families, and almost every family has some in-laws, and the difference is just far or near. What surprised Liu Dong'er the most was that Dafang had left Luzhou City for six years, why did she still know about the environment here at a glance?
After a little thought, Liu Dong'er could only attribute all this to the eldest lady, thinking that before she returned here, she had already let people inquire about the big and small things that had happened in Luzhou City over the years. Thinking about it this way, Liu Donger is even more unwilling to be blamed for the big house, to put it bluntly, people are not only honest and upright people, but also have means and means, be able to have ability, and take advantage of everything, and it is really stupid to oppose them.
Because of the vigorous mutual assistance of the lobby sister, even if Liu Donger didn't know anything about the ladies of these big families before, she would not be confused. Although she can't be like the lobby sister, but fortunately, there are some young ladies here, and Liu Dong'er is at most a little shy, but the etiquette is not bad.
In the tea party, Liu Donger also met a lot of young ladies, and what impressed her more was the eldest lady of the Lin family.
The Lin family is one of the two families that Liu Zhang is optimistic about. And the one who wants to make a marriage with Liu Donger is the eldest lady's brother.
The people who can be favored by Liu Zhang's family are usually not friends, but may be family members who have separated. Because Liu Zhang's family is not good at interpersonal interactions, he doesn't want Liu Dong'er to be between concubines all day long after she marries. If it could, presumably Liu Zhang's family would be more happy to marry Liu Dong'er to a family with only one son in the family, but regret that such a family would not wait to find it.
Although the young master of the Lin family is not an only son, he is the only son-in-law, he is the son of the family, and there are three sisters-in-law under him. In addition, there are two cousins in the family who are not very close. Because the wife of the Lin family has good means of governing the family, although there are two concubines in the family, the concubines are really incomparable to the concubines.
Moreover, the Lin family had already released their words, and as soon as the concubine became married, he would immediately wait for him. I think that this separation is to get a small part of the money of the princess, and there will be no competition between brothers for property at all.
Liu Zhang's family is very satisfied with the Lin family, and if Liu Dong'er wants to choose between the Lin family and the Xu family, he must also choose the Lin family. At least, the Lin family has the rule that a concubine can be separated if she gets married, even if she has a concubine far away, she doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing.
The eldest lady of the Lin family is called Xuan Niang, and she is the most beautiful, although she is only ten years old, she has begun to smell like a girl. Although the nature is not very vivid, there is also a kind of friendship in words and deeds, and it is obvious that it is also the best cultivation at home.
Because she was told by the elders of the family before she came, Xuanniang was very interesting to Liu Dong'er at the first place. Fortunately, she has a stable nature, so she doesn't ask questions if she has fun, but just asks some things that Liu Dong'er usually makes porridge with a light smile. The tone was unhurried, and she always looked at each other's eyes with a smile when she spoke, which made Liu Dong'er have a good impression of her all of a sudden.
Xuan Niang naturally didn't come alone, the three sisters in her family are all siblings of the same mother, and the feelings are well matched, because the second miss of the Lin family blew the wind a few days ago, she didn't come today with a little headache and brain fever, and she came with her sister, the third miss of the Lin family, Yue Niang.
Yue Niang is only five years old, she is round and round, and her big eyes are particularly eye-catching, flexible and cute. It's just related to Xuanniang, Yue Niang is a little vivid, but Liu Dong'er is very porridge with her. Thinking that when Lei'er was older, the two of them could become friends.
I talked a lot to the two ladies of the Lin family, and both sides had a good impression of each other. Liu Dong'er privately felt that if she really married into the Lin family, then at least her sister-in-law would be very idle. After paying attention to it, Liu Dong'er decided to have a good chat with Liu Zhang's family at night, at least he had to return the Xu family's post first.
Regarding the Xu family, Liu Dong'er still refused to join, and the Xu family was nothing at all in her opinion.
In the evening, Liu Dong'er easily told Liu Zhang's story about today, focusing on how kind and lovely Miss Lin was and how cute. Liu Zhang listened, and because he got a little hint from the eldest lady at first, Liu Zhang had a mind again.
This Xu family is indeed very good in a certain aspect, there are only two sisters-in-law in the family, and one is not in good health. On the one hand, does this mean that the heirs of the Xu family are not too lively, and it is okay to have only two children, and one of them is still sick, which is ......
I have to say that people are conflicts, and Liu Zhang's family not only hopes that Liu Donger will marry into a family with an easy population, but also hopes that Liu Donger can have more children and more blessings. Therefore, after being slightly reminded by the eldest wife, the balance in her heart couldn't help but tilt towards the Lin family.
But Liu Dong'er thinks more than Liu Zhang's, and the eldest lady shouldn't specifically remind Liu Zhang's this. Then, indirectly said bad things about the Xu family, and the reason for wanting to destroy this marriage is very clear.
I'm afraid that the eldest wife will know early in the morning that the second young master of the Xu family is a concubine!
In fact, it is true, the eldest lady has known about the Xu family for a long time, but some things are not easy to say clearly, but she can't watch her niece marry a concubine, even if she is raised under the knees of her mother, it is also a concubine! What's more, the premise of the Lin family is clearly better than the Xu family, the eldest young master of the Lin family is the son of the grandson, and he will inherit the family business in the future, and the only thing that is not as good as the Xu family is the Lin family's wives and concubines.
But what does that have to do with that?
The eldest lady herself doesn't care about these things, and naturally thinks that Liu Dong'er generally doesn't care, although the two have different purposes, but at least they are unwilling to marry the Xu family.
The Xu family's post was returned, and although the Lin family's affairs were still undecided, at least the elders of both sides had some significance. Liu Zhang's felt that Liu Dong'er was still very young at this time, and it was really important to look at each other, but he was not in a hurry to settle down. But the Lin family doesn't think so, the eldest young master of the Lin family is twelve years old, three years older than Liu Dong'er. Although this age is not too old, it is indeed not too young, and it is normal for the family to be anxious.
Since the post was not returned, and the eldest lady of the Lin family said something after she came back, Mrs. Lin was most optimistic about this marriage. It didn't take too long, so he sent an invitation to invite the daughters of the Liu family to the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Lin family.
Even if you don't have the will to climb relatives, it's not easy to return a birthday invitation like this. The eldest lady read the invitation and agreed, Liu Zhang's family was naturally happy to see it, as for the lobby sister and Liu Dong'er, they really didn't have the authority to express their opinions.
Since I was going to Lin's house to celebrate my birthday, this should be an indispensable gift and clothing. Fortunately, Liu Donger is usually favored by Liu Zhang's family, and every time before the change of season, not to mention the clothes on the Liu family, there are several sets of clothes to be made outside. Not to mention the lobby sister, there is really no need for Liu Dong'er to worry about it.
At this time, Liu Dong'er was also the first to honor Liu Man'er that she would not go out, otherwise she would have to make clothes for her and match gold jewelry, which would be troublesome. And if one is not good, maybe she will be blamed by the second master, as if Liu Zhang's poisoned her, Liu Dong'er will not think so, Liu Man'er has all the examples that the Liu family should have, and no one has treated her badly. As for Liu Zhang's dark subsidy for Liu Dong'er from the dowry, why should he give it to Liu Man'er? Don't expect any woman to treat her own children and the children born to her husband and women equally, no one is stupid, is it?
Although he knew that Liu Man'er would not go out, he still had to ask. It's just that Liu Man'er hasn't healed from the injury on her face yet, and secondly, she is a concubine and has already been married, so she won't go.
Originally, he also asked Liu Man'er, it was just etiquette, but he didn't want Liu Man'er to ask to go with him unusually, which shocked Liu Dong'er.
Fortunately, it was not Liu Dong'er who sent over to question Liu Man'er, and she was happy to throw this difficulty to the eldest wife. Although the old lady did not delegate power, the eldest lady took care of a lot of things, and she must be able to deal with this difficulty at leisure.
Liu Dong'er never thought that after the eldest lady learned that Liu Man'er asked to go with her, she just raised her eyebrows in surprise, and then agreed. Not only that, but he also sent people to send clothes and gold ornaments, and he had the spirit of a wife.
Shocked in her heart, Liu Dong'er couldn't help but go to Liu Man'er's yard temporarily.
