86. Not presentable
As for Liu Man'er, that's not to mention. At this time, the Liu family is the master of the big house, and there are four unpopular Liu Man'er on the big house, if it is to give Liu Man'er too much dowry, wouldn't it be intentional to embarrass the big house? Therefore, Liu Man'er is afraid that in addition to the dowry in the public middle school, there is no need to think about it, and it is more important to give more makeup. If you want someone else's Qingliu scholarly family to take over a concubine, unless you marry enough!
"The second wife of the Zhang family said very much, my sister said that she was willing to twist her hair and be a sister-in-law, and she was unwilling to be coerced. Liu Dong'er's face was cold, she didn't feel like porridge was being coerced at all. What's more, if Liu Man'er's matter is about to break out, it may not be her fault. At the beginning, the Zhang family's order changed every day, and there were witnesses. If there is really a trouble, the Liu family, as an official family, will not lose money. But the Zhang family is about to break their muscles and bones.
"How can a young lady say such frustrating words?" The second wife of the Zhang family turned embarrassed, but she did not question that Liu Man'er would do this. At the beginning, knowing that the Liu family would definitely veto it this time, she still confronted it and wanted to do that, so she naturally relied on it. deliberately spread bad words in it, in order to ruin Liu Man'er's marriage. To put it bluntly, what the second wife of the Zhang family has to do is to make Liu Man'er unable to marry!
If it's really urgent, Liu Man'er twisted her hair and became a sister-in-law, and the second wife of the Zhang family can't please them all!
Not to mention whether the eldest young master of the Zhang family will continue to make trouble, even if he doesn't make trouble, do you think the Liu family will give up? Even if it is just a Liu Man'er, it is not allowed to be bullied by outsiders! Not to mention, the Liu family has a young lady, if Liu Man'er really loses his hair, can the other young ladies be beneficial? If the Liu family is really annoyed, even the old lady can't protect them!
And once the Liu family and the Zhang family tear their faces, the first thing to be bad is not someone else, it is the second wife of the Zhang family. In order to let the Liu family dissipate their anger, they were afraid that she would be directly suspended, and the Liu family's liver fire would be stopped.
This matter cannot be taken seriously!
"I don't know this, I think my sister is quite serious. Liu Dong'er said half-truthfully: ", I will naturally persuade it." It's just that, the second wife of the Zhang family, don't you think that your approach is a bit excessive? This marriage is not a joke, and you are really not teasing us if you propose marriage and withdraw from marriage at once?"
The second wife of the Zhang family is brazen, which is true, but she also knows what is right and wrong. was said so by a junior, and there was some unbearability at the bottom. When she thought of her own son who was looking for death and tired of life, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. Come on, the offspring are the debts of the previous life, no matter how the son makes trouble, he still has to think about his future.
At that moment, she straightened her expression: "Dong'er, this time it won't happen again, this time, I'm serious!"
"Seriously, so it was really a joke in the past?" Liu Dong'er raised an eyebrow.
"No, no, of course not. What I mean by that is that this time it won't change again, it's ...... In the end, the information has come out, for the sake of Fang'er's future, Dong'er, you should persuade it. "The second wife of the Zhang family is also sick and rushed to the doctor, she doesn't think that Liu Dong'er can really call the shots, but hopes to be able to move Liu Man'er. She agreed, and then went back to Liu's house to make a fuss, didn't this handle everything?
"It's not hard for me to help, it's just that we still need a charter. Liu Dong'er hesitated for a moment, but was still relieved: "Who knows the second wife of the Zhang family, will you come here again?"
"No, no, no. The second wife of the Zhang family waved her hand in a panic, it was so important that she was sweating, it may be that she also knew that her words were indeed not high, and she had to be counted, just in the Liu family, she had tossed it several times. After thinking about it, the second wife of the Zhang family took the initiative to compromise: "In this way, I can write down the guarantee, and it will definitely not be changed this time." ”
The guarantee must be written, which Liu Dong'er had already thought of, but he couldn't write as the second wife of the Zhang family said: "Second wife of the Zhang family, it's not that I don't trust you, it's really ...... Let's put it this way, as for me, it will be two years later at the earliest, and my sister can only be later than me, not earlier than me, you know that, right?"
"Of course, of course, didn't I say it? In the next two years, I will definitely not let my son give birth to a son. "The second wife of the Zhang family said this, which is already very heartfelt, as for not accepting concubines and the like, it is really difficult to say. People can be regarded as saying, what can you do if you can't do it in the future?
Liu Dong'er also knows this, so naturally she won't open this mouth. In her opinion, even if Liu Man'er marries immediately at this time, she can't guarantee whether the eldest young master of the Zhang family will accept a concubine anymore. Therefore, it is okay not to say it.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Dong'er thought about it before speaking: ", the eldest young master of the Zhang family is the son of the sect, and he is not too young, if he waits for two years, ......"
"It's okay! It's two years, what's the main thing?" Hearing Liu Dong'er say this, Mrs. Zhang Jiada was suddenly overjoyed, and almost didn't laugh: "I can take care of this, I'll take care of it!"
Liu Dong'er pursed her lips, as if she didn't trust the last sentence very much: "If that's the case, the second wife of the Zhang family expressed her heart, and we can't be too excessive." If there is no concubine, it will be fine, if there is, this marriage will be annulled, I heard that you want to propose marriage because of this, is it because the eldest young master of the Zhang family wants to? Since he is so porridge my sister, it must be normal to have no concubine. ”
The second wife of the Zhang family figured it out slightly, but this is not the reason! Especially if this marriage cannot be confirmed within two years, in this case, it is better not to say it to death, so that in two years, her son is not too old, and it is not idle to marry a daughter-in-law?
Seeing the expression of the second wife of the Zhang family, Liu Dong'er could also guess her thoughts, that is, to settle down first, who can say for sure what will happen in the future? It's just that she wants to be beautiful, and Liu Dong'er is not stupid.
My sister has been engaged to the second young master of the Zhang family, and it is not easy to hear it. If this marriage is not publicized in advance, it is better to wait for two years to get married directly?"
"Not engaged?" The second wife of the Zhang family was a little hesitant, and this matter would be difficult to do. Although it is possible to withdraw from an engagement, it always feels unstable if you are not engaged. But if you think about it, it's not bad, at least when she wants to cheat, she will be more idle. Don't say it, there are two years to come! There are many things that can change in two years, maybe after these two years, his son will have already forgotten the concubine in the second room of the Liu family: "Well, yes!"
Liu Dong'er smiled slightly, some things don't have to be said too clearly, she is not the Liu family who can really be in charge. Moreover, after these days, judging from the environment when she left home, the Liu family should have adopted revenge actions. It's just that I hope it's not too fast, otherwise Liu Man'er's marriage will be really difficult. Thinking of this, Liu Dong'er asked again: "When did the second wife of the Zhang family come out to look for us? Do you know the latest information at home?"
The second wife of the Zhang family was stunned for a moment, and spoke very directly: "It came out with you, and it took me a long time to check your mother's dowry bills, which is equivalent to the work of the front and back feet." Speaking of which, I've had a hard time looking for you!"
No matter how hard you try, no one will sympathize with you.
Liu Dong'er's expression on her face was fixed, and she spoke again: "Then the second wife of the Zhang family, you see that it is inconvenient for us to come back, there are many dreams this night, not to mention that this matter still needs to be confirmed by my grandfather in the end." ”
Hearing this, the second wife of the Zhang family, who was proud of the spring breeze, was lost again: "Yes, I still want your grandfather to agree." Liu Dong'er agreed and could only say that she would subdue her Liu Man'er, but the problem is that the old man of the Liu family is not so easy to fool.
"It doesn't matter, I'll help persuade my grandfather. Really, in the end, the family is so anxious, they just want to find a good family for their sister, the Zhang family is a good one, and I trust them to agree. Liu Dong'er was comforted, but in fact, she despised the second wife of the Zhang family. Speaking of which, the matter will come to this level, but is it inconvenient for the second wife of the Zhang family to cause it? But if she uses her brain to do things, will the matter be so stiff? It just so happened that she always looked very innocent, and Liu Dong'er was so angry that she really wanted to step forward and bite a few bites.
"Okay, our Zhang family is the Ji family, otherwise your grandfather and grandmother would not have been so relieved to marry Fang'er before. By the way, Dong'er, you're also a good one. The second wife of the Zhang family squinted her eyes, rewarded her most happily, and then said: "I will ask someone to bring all my soup over, and you will slowly repair the things, and I will go with you when the time comes." ”
Come on, Liu Dong'er can be regarded as seeing through it, what about this person, the exemplary faceless and skinless!
casually asked Yun Niang to prepare a house for the second wife of the Zhang family, and Liu Dong'er made up a word to persuade Liu Man'er, and turned to leave. If she could, she really didn't want to take in the second wife of the Zhang family, but it was a bad thing that no matter whether the marriage between the Zhang family and Liu Man'er could be completed, the two families were still relatives, and they still had to communicate......!
When she arrived at Liu Man'er's house, Liu Dong'er told her about it easily, and also answered the reason why she was not engaged for the time being.
"Sister, the engagement is good and stable, but it also depends on the family! Think about it yourself, you have been engaged to the Zhang family twice, do you think it is useful? Will they care about this? Since they don't care at all, why do you care so much? To tell the truth, it is really not good for you to get engaged immediately at this time, whether it is with the Zhang family or another family, people are going to gossip, it is better to put it on temporarily, and when two years have passed, this gossip will fade. ”
The most feminine way to deal with this kind of bad talk is not to come forward to clarify, but to let it go on so quietly, which is a big deal for Liu Man'er, and for other people's families, it is just gossip after dinner. After a long time, who will remember these indifferent things?
Liu Man'er was comforted by Liu Dong'er, and her mood improved a little, but she didn't really see it. In the end, this Zhang family still proposed to the eldest young master of the Zhang family, but did not mention half a sentence of the second young master of the Zhang family. And the person who made her porridge was the second young master of the Zhang family, which was really the most disappointing, especially after she was engaged to the second young master of the Zhang family.
"Sister, you just have to relax, there is a sister in this matter! What's more, if you don't get engaged at this time, your friends will definitely think that you are still engaged to the second young master of the Zhang family, and even if you don't have it at that time, it will be caused by nothing. Liu Dong'er can only be so comforted, but she is not very optimistic about the Zhang family: "Sister, sister tells you the truth, in fact, the Zhang family is not a Ji family." ”
"I know. Liu Man'er can be regarded as speaking, but at this time she is not wearing a bib in the room, and the corners of her mouth are slightly tilted when she speaks: "Sister, I know everything you said, I think that my marriage has already spread, and then what kind of Ji family can I change it to? Especially at this time, maybe my family has already planned to marry me to the concubine of the official industry!"
There is no need for Liu Man'er to exaggerate again, Liu Dong'er also knows that she will not be a concubine at all, since this is the case, she has to make efforts in this matter. Liu Man'er's request is not high, as for the Zhang family, hmph!
After staying in Zhuangzi for two more days, Liu Dong'er took care of everything and ordered someone to set off. Speaking of which, this period of time in Zhuangzi is the happiest day for Liu Dong'er and Liu Man'er, although food, clothing, housing and transportation are not as dense as in Liu's family, but it is better to be liberated and calm without constraints.
Before leaving, Liu Dong'er called Yun Niang to her eyes, and didn't give her any silver, but just gave her a pure gold hairpin and a pure gold bracelet. As the name suggests, it can be seen as adding makeup in advance. Yun Niang first declined, but then accepted it, but she was very moved to stay up all night to embroider a pair of sachets for Liu Dong'er, and the handiwork was extremely exquisite. The sachet was accepted by Liu Dong'er, although it was not valuable, it was a gesture.
"Sister, should I give her back?" Before leaving, Liu Man'er looked at a servant girl beside her with some hesitation, this was the little maid ring that Liu Man'er bought from the farmhouse in Zhuangzi before.
Liu Dong'er was stunned: "Why do you want to return it when you bought it?"
"I don't expect to come again in my life, won't this maid never see her family for the rest of her life?" Liu Man'er frowned: "Really, I'm not very porridge with her, the main reason is that she is not well-behaved." It's not that she's bad, but she doesn't understand many things, and it's hard to teach. ”
Liu Dong'er was clear, the maid was a good one, but she grew up in a peasant family, and her insight was a little worse, and the Liu family had heavy rules, even if she didn't care much about Zhuangzi, she still couldn't adapt to a farmer's daughter.
"You can do it, whether you let it go or not, it is your reward. ”
"Okay, I'll just ask her. Liu Man'er turned to leave, and before she saw the maid in front of her kneeling on the ground, hiding her face and crying sadly. Liu Man'er took out a silver ingot from her arms and stuffed it to her, and then came back: "Sister, let's go." ”
Liu Dong'er smiled slightly: "My sister is really getting more and more of a friend's beautiful temperament, you do your best." ”
Liu Man'er was said by Liu Dong'er to be a little unbeautiful, and it happened that the second wife of the Zhang family sent someone to ask why she didn't pull it out, so she quickly hid behind Liu Dong'er and stopped talking.
"Let's go, let's get started. Liu Dong'er spoke lightly, she didn't have a good impression of the people of the Zhang family, even if they were subordinates.
The carriage was raised first, and soon after it left Zhuangzi and drove onto the official road......
What Liu Dong'er didn't know was that as soon as she left with her front foot, a very familiar-looking carriage drove into the hot spring village. A pair of master and servant jumped out of the carriage, and the young master's consciousness asked, "Are you sure it's here? This is also the Zhang family's property?"
"Yes, young master. In order to find this, the little one has not had a good rest for several days, and the owner of this Zhuangzi is indeed surnamed Zhang and is a merchant. ”
"Merchants? It's a bit low...... That's it, I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, what do I think this is for?" the young master smiled, pulled his feet and walked towards the village.
The little girl cried and followed, muttering in her mouth: "It's over, young master, have you forgotten, my wife has already engaged you." It's over......"
According to Liu Dong'er's thoughts, after arriving at Liu's house, he first coaxed Liu Zhang's family and let her stand on his side, Liu Zhang's is very feminine. Then take Liu Man'er to find the old lady, the old lady used to feel very sorry for Liu Man'er, although the love has faded in the past few years, but it can be regarded as a magic weapon of the heart and liver, presumably the old lady will feel pity when she sees Liu Man'er restraining her personality at this time.
As for the second master's side, it's easy, the old lady has spoken, and he is bound to have too many opinions, but the problem lies with the old lady. Even if Liu Dong'er was reborn, she was not very familiar with the old lady, and she was rash, and the old lady was indeed very vigorous at that time, I am afraid that it is difficult to persuade. But at this time, I can only hope that the old lady will be angry for so long, otherwise, even Liu Dong'er will have no choice.
There is still a gap between the mind and the reality, especially in the past few months, Liu Dong'er and the Liu family have not experienced the letter at all. I don't know if it's because there's something wrong with the person who sent the letter, or if there's something going on with the Liu family, but there's no information at all.
But these did not arouse Liu Dong'er's vigilance, she was thinking about how to comfort the elders of the family, and after the Liu family, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Because they had agreed before, as soon as they entered the city, the second wife of the Zhang family would be separated from them. Liu Yeye still holds a grudge against the Zhang family, especially the second wife of the Zhang family, and before Liu Dong'er subdues the elder, it is better for the second wife of the Zhang family not to notice it. Although the second wife of the Zhang family felt that this was very unpleasant, she thought about it for a while, but she had to say that it was still reasonable, and she could only return to Zhang's house immediately after entering the city.
"Xiao Lu, is there something going on at home?" Due to the dust and dust, Liu Dong'er first asked Liu Man'er to go back to the courtyard to rest for a while, and then went to Liu Dong'er's courtyard to meet after he was ready, and then the two discussed the next matter. No, Liu Dong'er just entered the courtyard and saw a few maids with sad faces, and when she saw the porters at the second gate with such expressions, she was quietly taken aback, and couldn't help but ask.
Hearing Liu Dong'er's words, Xiao Lu immediately knelt down in front of Liu Dong'er's eyes, trembling and begging for mercy: "Miss, Xiao Lu knows that she is wrong." Midori didn't mean to cover up Miss, but ......"
"Say it. ”
"It's really a bit ...... Mrs. said that she would not let the report miss. "Actually, Liu Zhang's original words were that when Liu Dong'er came back in a year and a half, it was expected that the matter would fade, and Liu Dong'er didn't ask, so he didn't say anything.
No one thought that Liu Dong'er would come back so soon.
"Say!" Liu Dong'er's face sank, and the ominous expectation in her heart became more and more: "Is it related to the Han family?"
"Yes. Xiao Lu glanced at Liu Dong'er quickly, seeing her indifferent appearance, and her heart calmed down a lot: "It's all because of the Zhang family, Zhang Zu passed on that kind of information, and he didn't say which young lady it was, so he didn't tell the city about Miss Liu's family first." First of all, it's okay, when you just left, Miss, it means that Miss Liu tore up the marriage contract at will, but the more you talk about it, the more unseemly it becomes. ”
Liu Dong'er closed her eyes and motioned for the doll to help her comb her hair.
Xiao Lu knelt on the ground, and because Liu Dong'er didn't let her stand up, she didn't dare to stand up: "Xiao Lu really doesn't know much, but I heard that someone inside is talking about Miss Liu...... Unruly. ”
The last three words, Midori uttered at a very fast rate, and the voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
"Go on. "The room is so quiet, and Liu Dong'er's ears are also good, how could she miss such an important word?
", that is, some bad things about the young ladies, and then the old lady fell ill in anger, and the old man found a few friends in the officialdom to put pressure on the Zhang family, but this bad word will not be erased if it is really erased. ”
Liu Dong'er also knows this, bad words, you can only let it go with the wind, many things are getting darker and darker, Liu Dong'er also questioned that someone has already fanned the flames of this matter, otherwise after she and Liu Man'er left, the second wife of the Zhang family also left, and no one should lead the bad words anymore. But if someone hadn't been determined to arrange it, these bad words wouldn't have spread more and more outrageously.
Seeing that Liu Dong'er stopped talking again, Xiao Lu beat the drum in her heart. In fact, in addition to being sad for Liu Dong'er, why isn't she worried for herself? She and the four maidservants in spring, summer, autumn and winter are of the same age, and they are the same age as Liu Dong'er, but this age happens to be very embarrassing.
It stands to reason that after being a first-class maid for so many years, Xiao Lu will definitely marry with Liu Dong'er, and there is a problem here. Under normal circumstances, whether a concubine has sex or a room, it is all when the wife does not give birth to a son-in-law, and it may be promoted after the wife is pregnant. Especially the personal maid of the wife, who will only be promoted to a possible concubine when the wife needs to woo her husband. In this way, the most female of this dowry maid is younger than the wife.
Just think about it, if Liu Dong'er was pregnant just after getting married, and she was promoted immediately, she would be suitable. But if it's a few years later, then she's older. This seventeen or eighteen-year-old wife has it, but there is no room for seventeen or eighteen-year-old people. Besides, there is a more favored doll than her by Liu Dong'er's side......
