Chapter 362: Marriage
No matter what General Li Xiao thought in his heart, at the right opportunity, General Li still mentioned this public case with the city lord, and the marriage between the Yan family and the Li family was also passed down from the ancestors. I really don't have any doubts.
At the beginning of the new year, in the small council room, General Li took advantage of the good mood of the city lord, and everyone talked about family trivialities at the end of the year. Find the right time to mention that. Of course, it's all about throwing bricks and stones.
Don't look at the big shots, it's not always in the court affairs.
General Li sighed and spoke: "Compared with all the adults, I am afraid that Xia Guan will not be idle this year, his children are older, and there are really a lot of things to worry about. I'm afraid I'm going to have to worry about you a lot this year. ”
Saying that, he arched his hand to all his colleagues, and when the Lord of Yancheng heard General Li's words, his brows burned, and he listened to the subordinate officials of the Ministry of Rites on the side and said: "General Li is polite, it is our duty." ”
Li Fu was born in the army, and most of his colleagues in the officialdom were rough generals, so he listened to the general on the side speak heartily: "Brother Li Xian is afraid that he is reluctant, my whispering niece is young this year, should I also settle the marriage in the west, looking at General Li's expression, I am afraid that it has already been scored." ”
General Li smiled, after all, this Yancheng is still the world of the Yan family, even if he Li holds military power, what if they are officials and nobles in Yancheng, who does not know the marriage between his Li family and the Yan family, but without a word from the lord of Yancheng, no one dares to open this mouth.
If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that a colleague would have come to congratulate him, but now he has to look at Yan's face before he speaks, this is the situation is stronger than people.
The officials who had just spoken in the Ministry of Rites were sweating when they heard the general's words. Didn't he talk too quickly just now, he actually forgot that although the marriage contract between the Li family and the Yan Shaocheng Lord was a nail in the coffin, it only needed the nod of the Yan City Lord.
Before he could do anything, an official of his own Ministry of Rites followed and mixed something, carelessly, and I don't know if the city lord will make a note for him, I just hope that the marriage contract between the two surnames Yan and Li will be safe and sound.
Saying such a proper thing, why do you want to be safe, is there really any episode that can't be done, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites are even more solid with the sweat in their heads.
General Li: "Thank you for your concern, hey, in a blink of an eye, the children are all older, and the lower officials are also old." ”
But he kept silent about the marriage contract. As a woman, although General Li brought up the topic, she should be as reserved. There is no woman to speak about such a thing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to throw bricks and jades like this.
The lord of Yancheng was on the top, and said with a smile: "Why did General Li say this, although the children are older, you have never grown old, and you are in the prime of life, the lord of this city has never sighed, why is General Li old." ’
General Lee: 'That's what the lord said. ’
Lord Yancheng: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen a whisper for a long time, didn't this girl forget about my uncle." This is said in a way that is very close.
Uncle Li, General Li is at ease, and the Lord of Yancheng has not forgotten the marriage contract between the two families.
Today's matter is not suitable to be discussed in the council room, thinking that the Lord of Yan City knows it in his heart, he will naturally find a suitable opportunity to finalize the marriage contract with their Li family.
General Li smiled: "I was thinking about coming to the City Lord's Mansion to say hello to the ladies, but recently she was taken by her mother to study housekeeping." If I heard you say this, I am afraid that she will make trouble with her mother. ”
When the Lord of Yancheng heard this, he just smiled: "The heart of parents in the world, General Li should not be too restrained and soft-spoken, I think that child is good enough." ”
General Li smiled: "The city lord praised it, the lower officials are ashamed to be ashamed, and there are still many places for that child to learn." ”
When it comes to the Children's Sutra, the topics of the adults naturally spread, and in the end, they all revolve around the young city lord to praise, and the Yan city lord said with a smile in his eyebrows, and his mood is flying, and today's small council room can be regarded as scattered.
The face of General Li in the sedan chair is not good-looking. Although the marriage contract was a promise, I was afraid that it would inadvertently annoy the Lord of Yancheng.
Maybe you should listen to your son, this matter is not suitable for talking about now. Fortunately, the marriage contract is still there.
Thinking of the Yan City Lord's expression that the whispering was good enough, General Li couldn't brow, as the master mother cultivated, the husband's family would only ask for perfection, 'It's good enough' doesn't sound reassuring, if he is only one of the ladies of the City Lord's Mansion, his family's whispering is naturally enough.
What do you mean by this, isn't the next generation of young city lords from their Li clan's bloodline? In the heart of the city lord, his own whisper turned out to be on an equal footing with a woman like Qiao's.
General Li's expression was uncertain, and the city lord's side was not much better, pursed his mouth, and made a straight face: "Go and find out, what has happened in the young city lord's mansion in the past few days." What's going on in the General's Palace. ’
After the order went down, the lord of Yancheng was still a little impatient, and the Li family was getting more and more inches, teaching his daughter to take care of the house, is it because you taught your daughter to take care of the house, I should give my son's backyard to your daughter in my hands, so big breath.
The Lord of Yancheng completely forgot that when he wanted to whisper into Yanyang's backyard, wasn't he hired for Yanyang as an eldest wife.
Now that the Li family has brought it up himself, although it is vague, the Yan City Lord is still unhappy.
This is the standard common problem of the superiors, you can take what I give you, and if I don't give it to you, then you can't open your hand and ask for it. This was not immediately set by the Lord of Yancheng as an inch.
What news does the city lord want to know, it is very fast, it can be said that the matter of the young city lord's mansion has long been filed with the city lord, and the city lord can know the news immediately if he wants to know.
I heard that Miss Whispering had been to the young city lord, and it seemed that she didn't get along well with the female dependents, and then when the Li family began to propose the marriage contract, the Yan city lord frowned, and the first thing he knew was that the Qiao family must be a demon.
I knew that it was a non-stop, and he dared to give the dignified Miss General's Mansion grievances, who gave him the guts.
At that time, two grandmothers were sent to the Shaocheng Lord's Mansion to recite scriptures.
As for the rest, the Lord of Yan City still has to be smooth, even if it is the marriage contract of the Li family, it is not that they want to mention it, he Yan immediately invited his son in to talk about the marriage, and the Li family does not have this weight.
The son of the Lord of Yancheng is definitely much heavier than the Li family in his heart, so when the two of them chat, it is good to mention it casually.
It can be seen that the lord of Yancheng respects his son's opinion quite much in the marriage, and he has to discuss it with his son. Of course, the things that have been decided a long time ago are just a formality.
In the evening, after dinner, two fresh faces came in the arbor's greenhouse.
The grandmother sent by the city lord did not dare to stop either the guards or the courtyard, so the two grandmothers entered the warm building.
As for inviting Mrs. to go outside the greenhouse to listen to the grandmothers to teach the family rules, who dares to ask, what kind of body does Mrs. have now, and if there is a case, who can take it.
So I can only invite the grandmothers in, too expensive to think about how to leave the two grandmothers directly in this warm building, so that you don't have to think about killing people or whatever, now the situation in the warm building is as far as possible can not be spread out, and there is one less person who knows, so stop for a moment.
The more I see, the more expensive I understand, the more expensive he is, the value of his young lady. She had been to Kyoto with her young lady, and the palace was not as delicate as their young lady's confinery. Do you think the contents of this greenhouse can be published?
Steward Yan followed up with this problem, the grandmothers entered the warm building, and Steward Yan had already begun to take care of the affairs of the two grandmothers, it was best to stay under the nose, after all, it was a person from the City Lord's Mansion, in case he couldn't keep it, he had to have a place in the City Lord's Mansion.
Who let this Mrs. Qiao's land, there are some things that are really taboo.
The two grandmothers entered the warm building, even if they had seen the big scene, they were still stunned several times, this is not the legendary fairyland, but when they came in, they were very sure that they were already in the palm of the lamp, and the young lady was as bright as day.
I remember that it was the middle of winter outside, and Mrs. was full of spring here, and she didn't see the girls wearing family jackets. I always feel that in Madame's place, the soles of my feet are full of heat. This is unheard of.
The two grandmothers wondered in their hearts, no wonder they always heard that no one had ever entered Mrs. Qiao's yard, and the girls were silent, but today they were reckless, will they be extinguished.
Qiao Mu came over with the support of Tai Gui, lazily greeted the two grandmothers, who let the city lord send it, as a junior, Qiao Mu wanted to give the city lord face, and was polite to the two grandmothers: "I have seen two grandmothers, my father let the two grandmothers come to the house late at night, I think there must be something important to tell you, the two grandmothers have worked hard." ”
The place of the gods, the fairy-like characters, such a young city lord's wife and two grandmothers are not easy to put on a face.
They were ordered by the lord of the city, and they had to explain the rules of the family seriously. But now it's not serious, the two grandmothers: "The young lady doesn't have to be polite, the slave maid asks the young lady to say goodbye, the slave maid, etc., on the order of the city lord, come to the young city lord's mansion to talk to the lady about the family rules." I also hope that the young city lord's wife Haihan. ”
The grandmother who can be sent here by the city lord to be a wicked person is not a kind person, and I am afraid that she will have to deliberately choose someone with a more serious face. It's not easy for Mama to be able to turn words like this.
Qiao Mu sighed in his heart, and knew that the girl who whispered that she would definitely sue, but she didn't expect that this father-in-law was really supportive, and immediately asked people to come over and reprimand her daughter-in-law.
I couldn't help but muttered in my heart, the lord of Yancheng is not as close as his wife and niece, why should he embarrass his own people because of an outsider.
It's better not to inherit the stupidity of your grandfather.
replied respectfully: "I will follow the teachings of my father, and I would like to ask the two grandmothers to show me how Qiao's should listen to the teachings of the elders." ”
The two grandmothers were silent, the young lady didn't show any face, and even listened to the family rules as the teachings of the elders, what a well-behaved woman.
Look at Qiao Mu, who is still pregnant with the child of the young city lord, her belly is so big, they can't afford it if there is one.
Glancing at each other: "Young lady doesn't have to be like this, Madame is heavy now, she can't stand the tiredness, she can't stand the cold, why don't you go to the kang to warm up, and the slaves and maids stand here and read the house rules to Madame." ’
Qiao Mu looked at the two grandmothers in surprise, this is not suitable, can you deal with the city lord. It is clear that the city lord is coming to save his face today. It's even more to teach her a lesson.
Another grandmother followed and said: "I heard that the young lady also reads and writes masterpieces for the little master to do prenatal education on weekdays, if the young lady does not dislike it, the right is for the slaves and maids to tell the little master the Yan family tree, the young lady does not dislike the slaves and maids are humble, just let the little master tired ears." ’
Qiao Mu: "Don't dare, don't dare, although I am heavy, I am not so delicate, too lazy is always inappropriate, after all, it is a lesson for the elders, if it is a moment of recklessness, the body is lost, put to the fear of tired of the reputation of the elders, the two grandmothers are here on the orders of the elders, that is, the elders are teaching the arbor, otherwise the two grandmothers please sit down and admonish. The arbor can also be looser. Warm up on the ondol. Take care of your tummy. ’
This is a good thing to say, not pretentious, thoughtful, giving himself convenience, and also giving respect to the elders, that is, the two of them have also benefited from it, and they are comprehensive.
Don't look at them as they come to teach people, and it's not easy to stand and recite the scriptures. Fortunately, the young lady sat down. also gave such a high-sounding reason.
The two grandmothers said in unison: 'The slave and maid don't dare, it's all up to the young lady's orders. ’
So when they arrived at the young city lord, the malice of the city lord of Yan became, two old mothers, sitting and drinking tea and chatting,
Qiao Mu listened sleepily on the warm kang to the grandmothers talking about the ancients, and what they said was naturally the genealogy of the Yan family and what rules were established when they were.
In the mouths of the grandmothers, they are a little angry, and they can definitely read it as a book, Qiao Muxin said how much the two grandmothers respect the Yan family.
The kid in his belly must be willing to listen.
When Lord Yan Shaocheng returned to the inner room, he saw two grandmothers with eyes. For the manpower in the warm building, the city lord Yan Shao arranged it himself.
The first person who lives here is his only wife and son in Yanyang.
Second, it goes without saying that the things in Qiao's greenhouse cannot be snooped on by outsiders.
There were two more people who were very abrupt, and the young city lord of Yan swept over with cold eyes, and the two grandmothers' thighs and stomachs turned like tendons, and they immediately knelt on the ground: "The slave maid asks for peace to the young city lord." ’
Yan Yang: "Whose people are here, why are they here?" It's this hour, I don't know if I will disturb my wife's rest. ”
Too expensive knelt down on the side of the root river. She has a lying gun, even if the city lord sent someone to spare his wife's sleep, it was not arranged well by his personal girl. The young city lord must settle accounts with her: "The slave and maid accept the guilt." ”
Yan Yang looked coldly: "Go down and get the punishment yourself." "It's ruthless, only the people in the house know that it's too expensive and they've been fined silver.
What a few concise words, it made the two grandmothers sweat in their heads, the majesty of the young city lord is unstoppable, and it is not much better than the city lord.
Qiao Mu rubbed his worried eyes: "You are back, the two grandmothers came to guide me on the orders of my father, you also know that I am heavy, I don't know much about many things in the woman's family, and there are no elders around, fortunately, my father is worried." ”
The grandmothers said in their hearts that the young lady is not a troublemaker, so how stable the woman is, I don't know what else the city lord has to find fault with.
Yan Shaocheng's eyes narrowed, his daughter-in-law of Yan Yang pointed out something with her grandmother, she was not small.
Two grandmothers: 'The old slave doesn't dare to be a young lady to reuse. ’
Yan Shaocheng Lord: "Okay, even so, you should have a longer look, don't you see that the young lady is tired, this little bit of eyes is not how to serve the young lady closely." ’
Qiao Mu was so frightened by Yan Yang that he immediately became energetic, this person was afraid that he knew what the two grandmothers were doing here. The two grandmothers said that fortunately, they didn't let the young lady stand and listen to the admonition, otherwise the two of them might not have been affected by the young city lord. 10
