89. Eighty-nine
"Mrs. Chi family," Ru Ji interjected coldly, pulling down her face towards the Geng family, "Are you going to offer the Lu family a price, and ask for the first night silver of Shuang'e?" This is not to mention small households, but as long as it is a white family, there is no reason to sell girls, right? ”
Although Geng's words are more subtle, in fact, this is probably what they mean. As long as she can get the benefits of Bai Huahua's silver, she doesn't care if Shuang'e's future is alive or dead.
It's just that the junior called Ru Ji was broken, and he said it so ugly, Geng's face was a little unbearable, so he could only throw the pot to the side: "What is the aunt and grandmother talking about?" I'm Shuang'e's mother, how can I not plan for her? The young master of the General's Mansion is about to shake off now, do I dare to marry Shuang'e in? What's the matter, if you don't get married, you don't pay for the courtesy, or is our family not innocent? It's not enough for our yellow flower girl to spoil her innocence, what dirty water do you want to pour on our heads? ”
At this time, Mrs. Lu Er believed a few more words of what Lu Mao said before, in Geng's eyes, Shuang'e was like a small cash cow raised by the family, she could squeeze as much as she could. This matter is not so much suspected that Geng is calculating behind the scenes, but it is actually more like pushing the boat down the river.
The incident happened on the first day of the first month of June, and when everyone discussed it with each other, it was the fifth day of the first month of June.
What kind of noisy chickens and dogs are jumping in the Pu family's door, outsiders don't know, but the internal handling of the Lu family is actually very short and fast. There are many turmoils in the back houses of high-ranking families in Beijing, and what is raw rice and cooked rice, only I can't think of it, but I can't do it. What about even the highest royalty? The scheming, calculation, and traps in the Heavenly Court are even more extreme.
On the night of the first day of June, Lu Mao arrived home, and probably told Lu Er Master about the matter, and he was naturally angry when he was angry, and Lu Mao was immediately beaten by a heavy family law board and couldn't get out of bed. But the second master Lu is also a military attaché, and his decision on this matter is very neat, and the marriage of the Pu family should never be mentioned again. Since Shuang'e is also the daughter of a civil official, it doesn't matter what the concubine is, anyway, it is the gateway of the seven-grade sesame official, and it is just not the eldest son of the husband before the future daughter-in-law gives birth. It's just that Mrs. Lu Er thought that the situation of the matter was more delicate, so she put her posture higher, just so as not to make the Chi family talk all the time in the future.
It's just that looking at Geng's words in front of him, it doesn't matter if he is a concubine or not, he can end the matter with a little silver?
As a mother-in-law, Geng may not care about Shuang'e's life and future at this moment. But if this matter is really handled like this, it will be covered up, and once it is revealed, the reputation of the Lu family will not be damaged.
On the other hand, in terms of etiquette, Shuang'e is the girl of the Chi family, and this matter is related to the daughter of the Pu family, Geng feels that it doesn't matter if she sells Shuang'e cheaply, but Ruji, who is also a cousin, can't stand it. Between the relatives of a family, there are still some relationships between both prosperity and loss.
If he hadn't torn his face with the Chi family, it stands to reason that the Chi family should have come out to play a round at this time, but the Chi family's hatred for the Geng family at the moment has broken through the sky, and I wish the Lu family and the Geng family were also scattered, not only did they not ease their cheeks as usual, but sneered: "Where did the wife of the Lu family shake her hand?" This is obviously my sister-in-law who wants to dump the black cauldron! You are in a hurry to ask for money before you finish speaking, hehe, even if Mrs. Lu originally wanted to let Shuang'e enter the door, she didn't dare now. According to your style of selling girls, whoever marries you will not fall into the bottomless pit! ”
Hearing this, Geng immediately slapped the table: "It's inappropriate for you to talk like this, I'm also your sister-in-law after all, how can you do this, my aunt doesn't look forward to a good future for your nephews and nieces?" Is it possible, do you want me to shake out the previous things and talk about them, and let Mrs. Lu give a comment? ”
Ru Ji looked at the change in Chi's expression and immediately frowned. What does it mean that my aunt is looking forward to her nephew's future, and when it comes to her nephew, Ji Jugyu, is it difficult to find out what happened again?
Although she didn't feel that it was her victim's fault for being attacked by Ji Jugui's overlord to make a hard bow, but in this era and cultural background, others don't think so.
What's the point of making trouble in front of Mrs. Lu?
"Wan Ting," Geng saw that Chi's momentum was suppressed by himself, and immediately added, "Now that things are like this, Second Mrs. Lu also said that no matter what, the marriage between the son of the Lu family and Ruyan will not be completed." Then we can also discuss it. The third girl, Rushu, did such a bold thing, and our family Zhu Gui didn't dare to ask for marriage. In fact, in terms of age, Ruyan is more suitable. ”
A good lion opened his mouth, and Chi, who had been treating Ruyan as a treasure for many years, changed his face again: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, don't go too far!" Don't forget that you're still sitting in our Pu house—"
"Two!" Second Mrs. Lu couldn't help it, and stood up directly, "You two have to solve your own affairs." I'll take my leave. Regarding the matter of our family's Lu Mao and the Chi family's Miss Shuang'e, I will just say a word, if Miss Shuang'e is not married, our family can bring in as a good concubine, but we can't have an eldest son in front of the future young lady. Mrs. Chi, you can discuss with your lord yourself, if it is okay, I will call a matchmaker to come to the door. If you don't like it, I don't say it. Carry your girl into the door, even if it is a concubine, there will be a dowry. But we can't give out the money on this side. What is the amount of money, even if our family admits to taking advantage of your girl? Or do you want to go back and count the evidence that our Lu family bullied people and bought their lives with money? This face, you can give it up, we really can't give it up! After saying it clearly, he glanced at Ru Xi again, and nodded a little politely, "Grandma Chen, farewell." ”
Ru Ji got up and was slightly blessed, thinking that Mrs. Lu Er was the lady in the mansion, and her judgment was clear, and the matter was handled appropriately. Shuang'e went to be Lu Mao's concubine, which is already the most suitable way to cover up her shame in this situation. After all, everyone is at fault, Lu Mao can say that he was drugged, but why was he led to that corner tower? In the final analysis, there is still a heart to teach and receive privately. If the Lu family really pushes 625 and doesn't care about anything, if Shuang'e has three long and two short looking for death and life, this Lu Mao's traitor. The reputation of fornication and morality is settled.
When Mrs. Lu's words came out, the Chi family and the Geng family were speechless, so they could only politely send people away.
can let Shuang'e get started as a concubine, no matter from what point of view, Chi Song and Geng have no reason to refuse. Unless they themselves want to marry Shuang'e to someone else or send her to the family temple, but in that case, the Lu family will have no responsibility or fault at all, and they have already expressed the greatest sincerity and attitude.
For Chi's family, there is a bit of balance in his heart. The most realistic thing to say is that Rushu wants to cook rice with Lu Mao, if it really happens, the Chi family will definitely strive to let Rushu marry Lu Mao as his wife, then the Lu family is also the serious in-laws of the Pu family. If Shuang'e completely replaces her, maybe the Chi clan will directly poison Shuang'e's heart. But now that Shuang'e's yellow finch is behind, she has only won the position of an aunt who can't give birth to an eldest son, and she can only be said to be cold and warm. After all, Lu Mao and Ruyan are interested in each other, and the two families have been in close contact for so long, even if the Lu family wants to find a marriage for Lu Mao again, it will take a year and a half, and then wait until there is a suitable girl to get married, and then wait for the young lady to have a son, as short as two or three years, and as long as three or four years. At that time, Shuang'e had passed the most delicate Shaohua flowering period, and she herself was not so outstanding, whether she could give birth to a concubine in the future or two said, whether it was a splendid future Qingyun Road, or a deep sea as soon as she entered the Houmen, it depends on Shuang'e's life.
sent away Mrs. Lu, and Ruji didn't want to stay longer. The Lu family's attitude is so clear, there is no room for bargaining. Next, the tearing between the Chi family and the Geng family will probably revolve around Ji Zhugui's marriage. It had nothing to do with her, and it didn't need to be witnessed.
But before Ruxi could say that she was leaving, the flames of war had already spread to her.
"Sitting in someone's house, there is no escaping the truth." Seeing that Mrs. Lu was gone, Geng's voice raised a tone again, "Our family Zhu Guiyuan is such a good child, you don't carry him as an aunt, but lead him to death!" What's the matter, you think that your aunt and grandmother are married well and add luster to your family, so you want to turn your face and deny it? I sue you, you must be responsible for the marriage of our family Zhu Gui to the end! Otherwise, some things will be publicized, not to mention that Ruyan Rushu has no future, and the aunt and grandmother don't look good on their faces! ”
"What's going on?" Chen Hao's calm voice suddenly came from outside the door, and Chi's Geng and Ru Xi were both slightly startled and turned their heads to look over. It's just that the Chi family instinctively was a little jealous, and Ru Ji was smiling and stepped forward.
Outside the door, Chen Hao was still wearing the dark blue official uniform of the Criminal Department, obviously from the yamen after finishing his official duties, he hurried over, his handsome face had a three-point chill, that is, he did not wear a waist knife and iron ruler, and the awe-inspiring murderous aura around his body was not inferior to when he was the head catcher of Jingzhao Yamen.
"Why are you here?" Ru Xi saw that Chen Hao actually rushed over, although she was a little surprised, she felt indescribably down-to-earth and relieved.
Chen Hao habitually took Ruji's hand: "Come and pick you up." At the same time, he walked inside, greeted Chi and Geng briefly, and asked Geng directly: "Mrs. Chi said that she wanted to promote the old things, which would make Neiko's face look bad, I want to ask what is the matter?" ”
