Chapter 80: Jiahui
Liu Jiahui is the aunt and cousin of Weiyuan Hou Yangyuan, and although she now lives in the Hou Mansion, she is also from a family. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoHer mother is the only sister of the old Wei Yuanhou, who married Liu Erlang of the Liu family of the Suzhou family that year, and only gave birth to a daughter of Liu Jiahui for many years after getting married.
When Liu Jiahui was twelve years old, her parents made the decision to marry the young master of the Wang family, who was also a member of the Suzhou family.
This is a good marriage. But not long after the family affairs were decided, Liu Erlang died of a sudden illness, and Liu Jiahui kept filial piety for his father for three years. When her filial piety period was about to expire, the Liu family was about to discuss the marriage date with the Wang family, but the father of the young master of the Wang family was drunk and fell into the lake and died.
Liu Jiahui was already in the middle of nowhere. Nowadays, there are also people who get married in Rexiaoli, and Liu's mother means that she wants her daughter to marry the young master of the Wang family in Rexiao, so as not to delay her daughter for a long time by keeping filial piety. However, when discussing the Wang family, the Wang family said that his family had its own family rules, and the father and his children must abide by the system, and they must not marry in filial piety.
Mother Liu can neither force the Wang family to get married, nor can she use this as a reason to withdraw from the marriage, for fear of ruining her daughter's reputation. had to promise to wait for the Wang family for three years, thinking that when the filial piety period of the young master of the Wang family expired, Liu Jiahui was not yet eighteen years old, which was not too late.
But who knows what happens in the world. Before the end of the Wang family's filial piety, Liu's mother was infected with a vicious disease, and she passed away after only a few months.
Liu Jiahui's parents were both mourned, and she was already grief-stricken. But what is even more unexpected is that before the funeral was completed, the Wang family asked people to return the marriage certificate. said that his son and nephew were old and could not afford the delay, so they wanted to divorce the Liu family.
Uncle Liu was so angry that he drove away the people who came and scolded the Wang family for treachery. His niece has been delayed for three years to wait for his family, and now his younger sibling has just passed away, but his family is about to quit. Uncle Liu couldn't swallow this breath and wanted to go to the Wang family to reason.
Liu Jiahui stood up and stopped her uncle: "If his family wants to withdraw from his family, he will go!" Such a treacherous family, and the niece does not want to marry! ”
Aunt Liu thought that she was now old, and if she got the name of being divorced again, she was afraid that it would be difficult to find a good relationship in the future, and wanted to persuade her.
Liu Jiahui said: "Aunt don't worry, Jiahui's life should be like this, and she can't complain about anyone." ”
The Wang family was pressing, and Liu Jiahui herself insisted on getting out of the marriage. Uncle Liu had no choice but to withdraw from the Wang family.
Since then, Liu Jiahui has been closed to filial piety, devoted herself to music, poetry, and painting, and rarely interacted with outsiders.
In the capital, Mrs. Wei Yuanhou was full of regret when she talked about this niece: "...... The character and talent are excellent, but the life is a little bitter! ”
Mrs. Weiyuan Hou said: "The Wang family is also ruthless, and they have delayed their cousin!" ”
"Who says it isn't!" Mrs. Hou said, "When the old marquis was alive, he loved his sister the most, and if he knew that her only daughter was in such a situation, I don't know how to be sad." Speaking of which, he remembered that when he first entered the Hou Mansion, his sister-in-law was only seven or eight years old. The mother-in-law is not in good health, and the sister-in-law was almost brought up by her own hands, and the sister-in-law's feelings are extraordinary. Now that her sister-in-law has died early, and her niece has ended up like this, she feels extremely sad when she thinks about it.
Mrs. Weiyuan Hou explained her and said: "Although my cousin is a little older, her talent is top-notch, if you inquire carefully, you may not be able to find a suitable person." It's just that the Yang and Wang families are big families in Suzhou, and the matter of retiring relatives is well known to everyone......"
"yes, why didn't I even think of this!" Mrs. Lao Hou clapped her hands and said, "Jiahui has a high spirit, and she would rather withdraw from her relatives than compromise herself." It's no wonder that she has been closed to customers all these years, and she easily refuses to see people after taking it. She doesn't want to stay in Suzhou anymore! ”
"Mother means ......"
"Pick her up in the capital! It would be nice to pay attention to find a good family for her. ”
"But...... I don't know if my cousin would like to come to the capital? Mrs. Wei Yuanhou said. Although she had only seen the cousin of the Liu family twice, she also saw that she was a girl who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she was very assertive.
"Then write to ask first."
Mrs. Hou said that she would do it, and immediately called Weiyuan Hou Yang Yuan, asked him to write a letter in person, and sent someone to Suzhou.
When the people who went to Suzhou came back, they brought a letter from Liu Jiahui, in which she expressed her willingness to come to Beijing.
Mrs. Hou was very happy, and felt that she had guessed her niece's thoughts: "I was afraid that she would be cold, and she would be willing to marry!" ”
Immediately arranged for someone to go to Suzhou to pick up Liu Jiahui.
In fact, she didn't know that after the Wang family's resignation, although Liu Jiahui was not completely cold to the man, she became more and more unwilling to compromise, and secretly decided: If you can't meet someone you know in this life, you will be lonely and old.
But in the middle of the filial piety period, although she can close the door in the name of filial piety, she always has to go out after taking it. She didn't want to live in the pitying eyes of others all the time, so she agreed to Mrs. Hou to live in the capital temporarily, but she also had some other plans in her heart.
After Liu Jiahui arrived at the Hou Mansion, although the old Mrs. Hou hindered Mrs. Hou from guarding the queen's system, it was inconvenient to hold a banquet in the mansion. But he also racked his brains to have a small gathering a few times, invited the ladies who were close friends to the Hou Mansion as guests, and spared no effort to promote Liu Jiahui.
It's just that compared to most marriageable young masters, Liu Jiahui is too old, so she hasn't met a suitable candidate for a while. But the girl of the Liu family is gentle and virtuous, and her reputation for calligraphy and painting has gradually spread. Later, if someone holds an elegant party to talk about poetry and painting, they don't forget to send her a post.
Liu Jiahui doesn't like to be lively by nature, but because of the face of her aunt and cousin-in-law, she will socialize when it is difficult to be warm, and gradually become familiar with the ladies and ladies in Beijing. So on Mrs. Hou's birthday this time, she also came forward to help receive female guests.
I was a little tired from socializing in the big flower hall before, so I wanted to come to the garden to relax. met Yang Yayun by the lake and asked her to come along.
When Mo Shaoli first saw Liu Jiahui, she saw that she was beautiful and elegant, and she was exactly the kind of woman she liked, and she was already very impressed. Hearing Han Minglan call her cousin again, she remembered that the woman in front of her was Liu Jiahui, a calligraphy master with a high reputation in the capital in her previous life.
At that time, although she lived in Lixiangyuan, she also knew the name of the Liu family, because the girls of the Mo family later practiced the characters of the Liu family. For this reason, my aunt also gave Liu Jiahui's calligraphy to her, she liked it very much, and she has been using it when copying scriptures later. Later, it was almost possible to confuse the truth with falsehood, but except for Mama Han, no one else knew.
Although Liu Jiahui was not married at the time of her death, she had become famous in the capital, and the women in Beijing were proud to be able to write willow characters.
It's just that she never had the opportunity to meet Liu Jiahui in her previous life, and she didn't want to meet her here today.
Thinking of this, Mo Shaoli couldn't help but look at her again.
Liu Jiahui smiled at her and asked softly, "Are you the seventh girl from Mofu?" ”
Mo Shaoli's eyes widened: "How do you know?" I've never met you. (To be continued.) )
