12. Propose
The spring breeze inadvertently dyed the south bank of the river.
The flowers in the back garden of Sun's Mansion are blooming like brocade, and a group of girls who have changed into thin spring shirts are frolicking on the grass with the two sisters Dipping Yi and Qingdai. Qing Dai ran sweaty, grinning happily.
Looking at her smiling face, the wet nurse Zhao Mama couldn't help sighing, and said to Qingdai's nurse Mama Liu: "It's a pity, such a good little look, but burned into a dumb person!" Madame doesn't know how many times she cried for this, what will she do in the future! ”
Mama Liu called a girl next to Qingdai: "Qiu Ming, quickly wipe the sweat of the second lady, carefully flash the wind and cool!" ”
He turned his head and sighed: "Who said it wasn't, such a good young lady, but she couldn't speak." This year, I don't know how many famous doctors have been hired in the field, but there is nothing wrong with anything. But why didn't she speak, she was really anxious! It's all that slut! What a sin, not even such a young child! Burned a good child to the point of mute! Amitabha, please let that slut never be able to survive! ”
He complained again: "Speaking of which, it's all to blame on the old man Li, how can a daughter give birth to a grandson who doesn't even give birth ceremony, her mother's family doesn't give a long face, can Mrs. give birth safely, this child has been in trouble since birth, and his body is not as strong as the eldest lady." ”
Mama Zhao hurriedly stopped her: "Shhh Don't say it, let the lady hear it and be sad again. ”
She looked at the butterfly holding Qingdai's clothes, and her face was full of loving smiles: "I heard that the Gu family sent someone to kiss, and the eldest young master of the Gu family also grew up with us, and the eldest lady of our family is really a pair of golden boy and jade daughters!" ”
Mama Liu sighed secretly in her heart: Master Gu Gu Guangyi is the distant cousin of the master, and his family was poor and unable to go to school since he was a child, and most of them were funded by the Sun family. And the lord is the best.
Master Gu has been talented since he was a child, and he has studied hard, and this year he was admitted to the second-class Jinshi and ordered Hanlin, and now he is going to go to Beijing with his family.
Although he became an official, the Gu family did not forget his book, did not dislike the Sun family as just a businessman, and came to ask for his only son Gu Cong before leaving. Gu Cong is seven years old this year, and he is also the eldest of the Sun family, not to mention smart and handsome, he has been playing together with Dip Yi since he was a child, and the two children are very close to each other. So as soon as the Gu family came to propose, Master Sun responded very happily.
Although Mama Liu was also happy for the clothes, when she saw Qingdai, her heart couldn't help but be sour. The eldest lady said that it was a good family affair, but what will this poor second lady do in the future.
She was worried in the back garden, but she didn't know that in the main room, someone was carrying Qingdai's family affairs.
Li Haizhu leaned on the Luohan collapse in front of the bright window, and several large pillows of brocade Suzhou embroidered landscape were placed behind him, covered with a primrose-colored thin lake silk quilt. Because of his illness, his hair was only tied in a bun and tied with a green satin forehead.
Wang sat next to Li Haizhu, his eyes swept the cherry-sized pearl in the middle of Li Haizhu's forehead, and saw that Li was still as beautiful as a quiet jade even when he was sick, and he couldn't help but go crazy with jealousy: How could this person be so different from each other? Her father-in-law is her younger brother, so why doesn't he have anything in common with her. is to be able to have half of her appearance, and she will be better off in her heart even if she is poor.
was jealous of Li's enjoyment in his heart, but his mouth was smeared with honey to comfort Li: "Sister, why are you worried about this trivial idea?" My niece's daughter just can't speak, and she doesn't delay eating and drinking. Don't worry about her not being able to find her in-laws, isn't there still our brother Bao'er,"
As she spoke, she pulled out her son, who was hiding behind her and was holding a snack saucer, and stuffing it into his mouth. The boy was startled, the snack in his mouth choked in his throat, and he coughed so red that he was reluctant to spit out the snack in his mouth. The girl who was waiting on the side hurriedly poured a cup of warm tea and asked him to send a mouth full of snacks.
Wang followed his son's back painfully: "My son, what are you doing in such a hurry, it's not all yours, who else can't rob you?" ”
He turned back to Li Shi and said, "Auntie, you see how strong your eldest nephew is!" If Qingdai marries Bao'er, can she still suffer? ”
Li Shi looked at Wang's body wearing a white wide-brimmed silk shirt, Cuilan mopping the floor with eight skirts, lilac colors all over the gold jacket, and the whole body was full of new clusters. The head is inserted with a branch of the red phoenix hairpin inlaid with beads and dots, the bead flowers of two double butterflies on the sideburns, two gold lantern pendants dangling in the ears, and a pair of jade bracelets in the hand. I was very angry in my heart: these things were all given to Mrs. Li by her usual envoys, and I don't know how to let the Wang family collect them all on herself.
Seeing Li Haizhu looking at his clothes, Wang couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart, and he couldn't help but cry out bitterly: "These are all shabby mother-in-law who saw me going out to see my aunt and grandmother, and the tattered clothes on my body, so she packed up this set and asked me to change into it." You can't lose face with your aunt and grandmother, no. I dare not admit that most of the things Li Haizhu gave to her mother were intercepted by her.
Li Shi smiled slightly: "It's not bad for my younger brother and sister to wear these, it's just that these are all prepared for my mother, and the colors are inevitably old-fashioned." There is something wrong with the younger siblings wearing them. ”
Turning his head, he called a girl wearing a gauze green silk bijia beside him: "Bisi, you go and get a few brightly colored makeup clothes, and then take my gold-inlaid ruby Fulu Suxi hairpin and the pair of gold-inlaid beaded twisted silk bracelets for my uncle's wife." ”
When Wang heard this, he was so happy that his ears were a little bit, and he hurriedly thanked him, and the flattery in his mouth gushed like the rolling Yellow River. and praised his son like a fairy.
Li Shi frowned and looked at Li Bao'er, who was stuffing the third plate of dim sum, and saw that he was busy munching on a few bites of dim sum, and then inhaled sharply, sucking in the two yellow dragon-like snots that were about to flow into his mouth. said lightly: "The children are still young, it's too early to say this now, let's talk about it later."
The Wang family refused to give up, and seeing that the Li family did not mean to marry Qing Dai, he hurriedly raised his value: "Grandma, you don't know yet, our old lady gave Bao'er a fall in love with the youngest daughter of Quan Xuezheng in the school, or a grandmother!" My husband and I still think it's good to kiss and kiss, although Qingdai is a mute, but she is our niece's daughter, we can't watch her unsettled. Marry Bao'er, can we still treat her badly? ”
Li Shi was stabbed in the heart by Wang's "dumb" sentence, and frowned to interrupt Wang's words: "Since Bao'er has a good marriage, how can we delay him for Qingdai?" Since she is the daughter of the school and the school, she must be full of ability and political integrity, and Bao'er found this father-in-law, which is also beneficial to his studies. ”
Marrying the whole family is just a private thought of Old Man Li, and when he mentioned the daughter of the whole family, he said: It would be nice if he could marry the whole family. After thinking about it in a blink of an eye, with the pure and honest of Quanxue, he might not be able to look down on Li Bao'er, so he didn't mention it at all. The Wang family brought up this matter at this time, just to give himself a long face.
