Chapter 123: Smugness
The Gu family sat firmly, but the Yuan family couldn't hold it down.
"Mama, why don't you say my sister-in-law hasn't moved yet?"
"Grandma, don't worry, the palace test is over, and the uncle over there has also been hit, presumably the family is also very busy, and when it slows down for a while, it is estimated that it should be about the same!"
Mama An slowly tried to help her massage her swollen legs, Yuan's was already delicate, and this time she was pregnant with twins, and her reaction was big, and she really suffered a lot. It's been almost seven months now, and my belly is big, and it's worrying to look at.
"That's right, but you should come to the door to get a letter, which one is the matchmaker invited, and you have to come up with a charter when you plan to do it!" After this pregnancy, Yuan's temper rose more and more with his belly, and it was for his daughter's marriage, so he couldn't sit still, "No, it's better to let the third master ask." ”
A decision was made between words, and although Mama An didn't dare to make her angry, she wouldn't refute it.
Actually, she is also a little strange, it is said that the two families have already agreed before, and they should go up according to the procedure, and the four girls are not small, these few gifts are gone down one by one, and it is almost time to get married.
It's that the third master and the third grandmother want to stay for two more years, but they have set the day anyway, and it's easy to say that they can move around like this, otherwise the four girls are considered to be married or not?
Thinking about Gu's previous reaction, Mama An began to ponder again in private, could it be that Gu's was unwilling again and wanted to regret it?
Yuan's worries are actually similar to Mama An's, but because it is her mother's house, she is not good at talking to Mama An.
She knew the Gu family's trouble before, and she knew it best, so she might have an opinion on Fu'er. She originally thought that it was not a big deal, after all, everyone was a relative, and the sister-in-law's request was not very reasonable, she should understand when she went back and thought about it, and there was no need to mention it again.
But at this time, the sister-in-law has no news about her family, is her guess true?
The more Yuan thought about it, the more anxious he became. Can't wait to tell Zhou Ze about it.
"Zangrui, go and see if the third master has come back?"
"Grandma, not yet, I heard the person in front of the third master come back and say. The third master went to socialize with his colleagues!"
Since Zhou Ze began to serve in the Hanlin Academy, he began to socialize constantly, with a general meeting on five days and a small gathering on three days, and he often came back drunk. Afraid that he would hurt his body, the Yuan family had to instruct someone to carry the decanting soup early every day, and even prepared one from Aunt Luo.
"Zangrui, you can call someone to take a look ...... again"
"Tibetan ......"
Yuan himself didn't know how many times he had asked, but fortunately, the third master, Zhou Ze, finally came back.
endured the anxiety in his heart, instructed Weiyu and Shuyun to take the little girl to help Zhou Ze freshen up, and persuaded him to take the sobering soup, and the house was quiet.
Seeing that Zhou Ze didn't sleep as soon as he came back like in the past, he seemed to be in good spirits. Yuan Shi pondered and told him what he was thinking.
Zhou Ze was holding a hot towel to cover his face, and when he heard Yuan's words, he took off the towel, revealing a face with a hint of surprise, and his somewhat drunken eyes shone under the reflection of the candle flame, "You mean, let me go to the eldest brother and ask?"
Although he had already washed up, there were still bursts of wine on Zhou Ze's body, and it seemed that even the exhaled breath brought out the smell of wine, and Yuan suddenly felt uncomfortable tumbling in his stomach. She held her breath shallowly, and replied patiently, "Well, I don't know if my sister-in-law is too busy." He said that he would make up his mind after the test in your hall, but there is no news so far!"
Subconsciously, Yuan wanted to settle Fu'er's family affairs as much as possible, and she didn't know why, she always felt that if she delayed like this, something would happen sooner or later. Fortunately. It's her maiden home over there, so it's easy to say anything. But because of this, she didn't dare to tell her husband about the worries in her heart, if it was true, wouldn't she lose face?
At the moment, the only way to ask the eldest brother is to find out, no matter what the reason is, there must be a message so that she can no longer worry about it.
I don't want to, but Zhou Ze disagreed, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his words, "Nonsense, even if we are relatives, but we are a woman's family, how can there be a woman here to ask for it?
Yuan Shi was stunned, he couldn't care about the smell of wine on Zhou Ze's body, so he moved forward with difficulty and asked, "What does this mean by the third master?"
Zhou Ze glanced at her, slowly got up and helped her sit on the chair next to her, and then flicked his sleeves and said, "It's not interesting, it doesn't matter if the eldest brother wants to regret it, my Zhou Ze's daughter doesn't have to worry about getting married!"
He is the flower of this spring, and he is a usable talent who was praised by the emperor during the palace examination, and even Lord Jia, the servant of the ministry, also favored him.
Everyone is rumoring that Jia Qing, the servant of the ministry, intends to marry him and wants to ask for a daughter-in-law for his stupid son, presumably because he has taken a fancy to him Zhou Ze. There are also those who secretly laugh and envy, but there are not many stammers?
The officials are still old, and they have not participated in eight of the ten court meetings, and the officials are now almost Jia Qing alone, such a person wants to marry him, that is his creation.
Don't say that Master Jia didn't mention it at all, even if he brought it up, in addition to Sister Shan'er, he also has two concubines, and it's not bad to marry one in the past, women, where is not to live. At that time, with the support of the servants, his career is not smooth, and I am afraid that he will break the threshold when he comes to propose to Sister Shan'er!
Thinking of the envious eyes of his colleagues looking at him, Zhou Ze suddenly felt complacent.
Seeing that Yuan's stomach was holding up and looking anxious, his tone softened slightly, "Don't worry too much, Sister Shan'er is not very old, if it doesn't work here, let's help her find a better one, there are so many good men in the world, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a good son-in-law?"
It took Yuan a while to react, and he raised his head incredulously, "But our Fu'er's marriage has already been decided?"
Zhou Ze stood up and smiled, "It's just that it's decided, but there is no decidation, and now they don't come to propose, and it's not that we have to regret it!" After saying that, he comforted Yuan a few more words, and strode out the door to the study.
Leaving Yuan alone in the house, unable to return to his senses for a long time.
What does this mean?
Could it be, could it be, that he really had that mind?
Yuan Shi suddenly felt bad, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the "pounding ......" seemed to jump out of her chest, and his stomach and intestines also made a mistake together, turning over the river and the sea, as if someone was stirring with a stick, and it was so uncomfortable.
She endured it desperately, stroking her hand to her chest to suppress the discomfort.
Her Fu'er, the Fu'er she has always put in her heart, how can she marry into such a family?
No, no, it's definitely not like that, she's going to find the third master to ask for clarification!
"Tibetan ......"
Before she could say anything, she couldn't help it, she spit out a "wow", and the person sat down softly. (To be continued.) )
