Chapter 365: Reunion
67_67437Quan Yansu will say such things means that he has done field investigations, his daughter is married for the second time, and he doesn't want his daughter to marry into a high-ranking family to see people's faces and acts, so he said, "You don't know that this Jian Jingshu is now extremely saintly and blue-eyed, the Jian family is inconspicuous, and Sister Zi'er is not a yellow flower girl, with us behind the back, the Jian family will not treat her badly......"
He reasoned with his wife with facts, but after the Lu family had prejudice, he became more and more unkind to see Jian Jingshu, and interrupted her husband's words with a cold face, "Anyway, I don't care how the surname Jian is, I am resolutely against marrying the Jian family, husband, we failed to polish our eyes last time as parents, how can we repeat the mistakes of the past this time?" What's more, you have forgotten that he abused his wife, and his deceased wife died unclearly, how can I rest assured that Sister Zi'er will be handed over to him? β
"I said, what are you doing? At the beginning, you took such a fancy to this Jianjing book, and you asked me to inspect it, but now it's good, and you are the one who strongly opposes it. Quan Yansu looked at his wife as if he didn't eat oil and salt, and he went crazy on the spot, "There is also abuse of his wife or something, I have also asked people about this, and everyone says that it is a non-existent thing, if he really killed his deceased wife, can the Chen family not pursue it?" Grab this handle and don't you have to toss the Jane family to death? β
Quan Lu's face was aggrieved, "How did I know that he was such a person at that time, before he skimmed the eight characters, he could chase Sister Zi'er to Zhuangzi, do you think I can let this kind of person who exploits loopholes be our son-in-law?" Besides, the abuse of his wife is a matter of nothing, and you believe it, are you lacking in heart? In short, I am Sister Zi'er's mother, and I can't harm her. With that, his face turned to the side tensely.
"What do you mean? Could it be that I, the father of the father, can't harm my daughter? Quan Yansu said angrily, this wife is really ugly, what does it mean that he lacks heart?
"I didn't say that, you also lost your temper at me, no matter what, I have to pick a suitable one for Sister Zi'er."
"I said you're just unreasonable."
"Won't I be good for my daughter? Quan Yansu, you have to speak with your conscience? I've been doing it all these years, what can't I do well? I got your words, I'm so wronged, I ......"
Quan Lu was angry for a while, and the more he talked, the more he felt that he had been greatly wronged, and immediately pulled out a handkerchief and cried. Even the children born by her husband didn't care much, and she looked for marriage before she should get married, and fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother-in-law, but her husband said that she was unreasonable, and she cried more and more in her heart.
The young beauty cried that it was pear blossoms with rain, and the middle-aged and elderly woman cried that it was ugly, how could Quan Yansu have the heart to coax Quan Lu's family, but he said more and more impatiently, "I don't just say a word, I can provoke you to say so much, come on, I won't provoke you, I will stay in the study today." After that, he pulled his legs and left.
Quan Lu's whole body trembled with anger, and there were a few foxes in her husband's study, and he didn't know how to turn the dragon and phoenix upside down tonight, and he said this soundingly.
For the whole night, she couldn't sleep well, and when she woke up early in the morning, she was haggard, but fortunately, it was not obvious after applying makeup. After breakfast, she had something on her mind, threw the family affairs to her daughter-in-law Quan Bao, who came to ask for peace, and then went to her daughter's yard.
As soon as I lifted the curtain and went in, I heard my daughter Quan Yingzi say, "Bring that box to me to see, I have to see what good things can be handled......"
"What are you busy with this early morning?" She put her thoughts away and raised a loving smile.
Quan Yingzi got up and pulled her mother to sit down, "When my mother comes, I won't let them pass it on, is this to surprise my daughter?" β
"What? You think your mother is an antique? Kwon Lu said with a smile.
Quan Yingzi hugged her mother and said: "How did my mother become an antique?" In my opinion, she is still a beautiful woman with charm. β
"It's sweet in your mouth." Quan Lu stroked his daughter's tender face backwards, "By the way, what are you doing?" β
"Ming'er is the day when Cousin Qi leaves the pavilion, I am picking a gift for her, this pavilion is a major event in a woman's life." Quan Yingzi let go of her mother and sat down opposite by herself, "What is good for my mother to give me a reference?" β
Quan Lu patted his head, "If you don't mention it, I'm almost forgetting about it, Sister Qi's marriage is a big deal, and I, who is the eldest aunt, have to express something." β
She only cared about being angry with her husband, and almost forgot about this big event, this Lin Qi married into the Huo family, to be honest, she didn't appreciate it, after all, the mother and daughter married into the same family, no matter how you say it, it makes people feel weird, if it wasn't for the marriage given by the saint, I am afraid that there will be a lot of gossip in Beijing.
Quan Yingzi put his jewelry box on the low table, and picked up the list of his belongings and looked at it carefully, if you want to give it away, you have to get it out of your hands, "Mother, do you think these things are good?" She pointed to a few elegant coral ornaments in the list and asked her mother.
"It's okay for me to look at it, the coral is festive, just right for their newlywed couple......" Kwon Lu praised his daughter's good vision.
The mother and daughter discussed the gift for a long time before it was decided.
Quan Yingzi put the list away, and someone took out the items she had circled and put them in the box separately, "I'll go to Lin's house later, and send this gift to Cousin Qi, as for Ming'er's wedding banquet, I won't go, my reputation as a naturalized daughter is not very good, so I don't have to make people find faults." β
Quan Lu was stunned, her daughter didn't say this, she hadn't noticed it, this Heli's reputation was better than Hugh Qi, but in the final analysis, it was not a good reputation, and then she held her daughter's hand, "Mother must choose a satisfactory husband for you, so that you can marry beautifully in your second marriage, so that those long-tongued women envy." β
"Mother, where are you talking about?" Quan Yingzi smiled angrily, "I'm not afraid that the people of the Huo family won't like it, and it won't be good to pick on Cousin Qi's thorns when the time comes, but I'm not afraid that those long-tongued women will make irresponsible remarks." If she was worried about these, she would not have insisted on reconciling with Zhong Yuyan in the first place, "By the way, anyway, Cousin Long is pregnant and has to avoid these happy events, I will go to Xiangyang Hou's Mansion to find her to talk to tomorrow, they have a deep sisterhood, and they can't watch my sister go out of the cabinet, I guess I regret it in my heart." β
"You, as much as you think of others, you should also think about yourself." Quan Lu couldn't help but say to his daughter, "You and the kid surnamed Zhong have been working hard for more than half a year, in my opinion, it is the right way to have a good biological color......
"Mother, I remembered that there are still some silks that can be given to Cousin Qi, so I'll go and have a look." Quan Yingzi couldn't say that her mother, so she quickly found a reason to leave.
Looking at her daughter's back as if she was running away, Quan Lu was angry and funny, with such a daughter, is it easy for her to be a mother? As for the surname Jane, she would not take the initiative to mention this person in front of her daughter, just thinking about it, her face sank.
Quan Yingzi arrived at the corridor outside, and then he felt that his chest was not so stuffy.
However, when she walked to the storeroom, she met several people, such as several aunts and sisters-in-law, all of whom took her hand and said some pitiful words, which seemed to comfort her on the surface, but in fact expressed their superiority in disguise.
She is not a pitiful insect, what she needs most is the sympathy of outsiders, she is just unladylike, she still has a good youth, but she never thought of hanging, so these cheap sympathies, Quan Yingzi does not need it the most, but she still coped with a few words without any expression on her face, and left in a hurry with an excuse, which is why she doesn't like to go back to Quan Mansion.
was really fed up with other people's self-righteousness, and after finishing up the makeup for Lin Qi, she immediately asked people to prepare a carriage to leave the house, and the air outside was fresher.
When she arrived at Lin's house, as soon as she saw the carriage of the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion, she knew that Lin Long had also returned to her parents' house.
Thinking of this, she immediately hurried into the backyard.
I lifted the curtain and went in, and saw Lin Long, who had a big belly, holding Lin Qi's hand and admiring the wedding dress, with a smile on her face, she immediately smiled, "It seems that I arrived in time." β
"Cousin Yingzi."
The Lin sisters both called happily, Lin Long was inconvenient to move, but Lin Qi ran forward to give Quan Yingzi a big hug.
Lin Long held his waist with one hand, and was uncomfortably supported by Lin Lu's family with the other hand, who stepped forward to Hug Quan Yingzi, who was hugging his sister, "You are finally back, I thought you were going to shrink in Zhuangzi and see no one." β
After Quan Yingzi and Lin Qi hugged each other warmly, they looked at Lin Long angrily, "What do you mean I shrank in Zhuangzi and don't see anyone?" Cousin Long, I don't think I'm the turtle who knows how to shrink his head. β
The two cousins complained and complained, but they still hugged each other tacitly.
Quan Yingzi stroked Lin Long's big belly, "I look like I'm about to give birth, right?" β
"Not yet, how can you give birth if you don't have enough in this month?" Lin Lushi explained with a smile, and he was used to the laughter of their cousins.
"Cousin Long is going to have a second child, alas, why do I feel so old that I am so old?" Kwon Yingzi sighed.
"What are you talking about?" Lin Long said with a smile, "I see that it is the time of youth and beauty, as long as you let go out and want to remarry, this suitor can go around our Lin family twice." β
Lin Long said it interestingly, and everyone present laughed out loud, and the atmosphere was very happy for a while.
When Quan Yingzi wanted to add makeup to Lin Qi, Lin Qi's eyes were red with emotion, after all, her relationship with the people of the Quan family was average, and among the many cousins, only Quan Yingzi remembered her, and the others were not so close.
"Why is Cousin Yingzi so spending? I ......"
"Oh, Cousin Qi, is this disgusting me? It's a big deal for you to get out of the cabinet, which girl doesn't want to be beautiful with red makeup, I'm just showing a little bit of affection, I hope you and your cousin-in-law can be together for a hundred years and give birth to a noble son early. β
Quan Yingzi's own marriage is unhappy, but she hopes that others can be smooth, not to mention that Lin Qi and Huo Yuan are in love, and they will definitely be happy after getting married.
"It's my cousin's heart, so I just accept it." Lin Long opened his mouth and said,
Lin Qi sniffed at this time, and said to Quan Yingzi, "Thank you, cousin Yingzi." β
Quan Yingzi patted Lin Qi's hand with a smile on her face, showing that she was in a good mood.
At this time, the curtain was lifted again, but it was Bei Mingfei, who had a big belly, who came in, and was slightly stunned when he came in, "It seems that I am still the one who is late." β
"Sister Fei." Lin Qi hurriedly helped Bei Mingfei to come into the house and sit.
The relationship between Pei Mingfei and Quan Yingzi is average, so they just nodded when they met, but when they faced the Lin sisters, they were much warmer.
When she came this time, she naturally came to add makeup to Lin Qi, but she didn't expect that she was just in time for Lin Qi to leave the pavilion, so she naturally had to say something. Moreover, her husband is also very rich, and this makeup is not lost to Quan Yingzi, the daughter of the prince.
Lin Lushi was so happy that he secretly wiped the corners of his eyes, Lin Qi was much better when he came out of the pavilion than when Lin Long came out of the pavilion, at that time she didn't worry much about a decent dowry, but now Lin Qi's dowry is a real ten-mile red makeup, and I don't know how many girls in Beijing to envy when Ming'er is out of the pavilion.
While Pei Mingfei and Lin Qi were chatting, Lin Long pulled Quan Yingzi aside and asked carefully about the follow-up of the previous insinuation.
Speaking of this, Quan Yingzi also thanked Lin Long for his meticulous observation, otherwise she was afraid that her reputation would have been ruined by now, so she said this matter as it was.
"My eldest brother told me that the mastermind behind this scene is the girl of the Chen family, Master Jane's sister-in-law, to be honest, I have suffered an unjustified disaster, what do you say is this? This sister-in-law covets her brother-in-law, and she is shameless. "Quan Yingzi is not worth it for Jian Jingshu, with such a crazy woman, that elegant man deserves better.
Lin Long smelled a little different flavor between the lines, "How did I hear you mention that this Lord Jian is so familiar, what?" Have you seen him? β
Quan Yingzi's pretty face turned red, and then he realized that he had slipped his mouth, "I've met a few times, and I have nothing to do with him......"
"Didn't I say you had anything to do with him? What are you nervous about? Lin Long covered his mouth and smiled, isn't this three hundred taels of silver here? Cousin Yingzi's behavior really gave her a different idea.
Quan Yingzi's face was so hot that she could boil an egg at this moment, "Cousin Long, my good cousin, don't laugh at me, I am not the same thing as you think...... "I almost stomped his feet on the spot.
Lin Long took Quan Yingzi's hand and said seriously, "Cousin Yingzi, what are you doing?" He lost his wife, you and divorced, if there is really something between the two of you, it is also a matter of course, and it is not that you can't see the light, isn't your expression overkill? He can meet you, you can meet him, this is fate in itself. β
In her opinion, it is also possible for Quan Yingzi and Jian Jingshu to get married, and it is obvious that her cousin is not indifferent.
Quan Yingzi was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, "Didn't I get bitten by a snake once and be afraid of the well rope for ten years?" β
Whether it is Zheng Huahan or Zhong Yuyan, she is unladylike, so she has no courage to turn back, and I don't know why she had a quarrel with her mother for Zheng Huahan at that time.
Lin Long had actually noticed that Quan Yingzi was a little hesitant in terms of feelings, "Cousin Yingzi, our daughter's family survives in the world, and we always have to find a satisfactory man to marry, otherwise who can protect you after a hundred years of my uncle and aunt?" Even money doesn't guarantee anything, and this world is so unfair. β
A widow who has children can still keep her money, and those who have no children and no daughters will be bullied to death sooner or later, she has experienced this herself, without her father and mother to shelter her from the wind and rain, no matter how much inheritance she has, she will be divided up, and she can't find a place to judge.
Otherwise, how could their family have had such a hard time in Suzhou? Now that she is married, who would dare to attack her property? Whether it is the husband's family or the mother's family, others have to weigh one or two if they want to move, this is to take advantage of the situation.
If she didn't have the name of Mrs. Xiangyang Hou and the county lord of Yi'an, I am afraid that now is not enough for the Lin family to stuff their teeth, and Lin Gang and Lin Chuang, the two uncles, will calculate her to death.
Quan Yingzi didn't think about this, her dowry is a guarantee, she has always thought so, but when she thinks of the reactions of her aunts and sisters-in-law at home, without her father and mother, she really can't live so comfortably, and there will always be people who will have red eyes.
"I should have thought about it." She sighed, she really hated that she had been born as a daughter.
Lin Long's mood was also a little heavy, these practical problems were a headache when he thought about them, so he smiled, "There is still time to go, when can my cousin think about it again, if you meet something you like and are suitable, how about dipping it again?" Anyway, you still have your uncle and aunt behind you, who dares not to take you seriously? After a pause, "When I married my husband at that time, didn't I also think about it?" And now? It's not a child yet. β
Quan Yingzi heard her say something funny, and immediately burst out laughing.
"What are you two saying so happy, we need to hear it too." Bei Ming hurriedly said to the two of them dissatisfied.
"I'm not going to tell you." Lin Long approached his friend and said with a smile.
"Hey, you are treated differently, Lin Long, I can tell you, the old lady does not accept your differential treatment." Bei Mingfei deliberately stepped in to protest.
"Sister, I want to listen too." Lin Qi also came to join in the fun.
Quan Yingzi is rarely quiet, after all, those are her thoughts, how can she say it at will?
Lin Long is not the long-tongued woman, so naturally she won't go around talking about it, so she picked a topic to divert everyone's production notes, and secretly shook the hand that held the power of the hero.
The cousins looked at each other and smiled, and a warmth flowed through Kwon Yingzi's eyes.
In the evening, Lin Lu left a few people for dinner, and it was rare for the sisters to get together, and no one mentioned going home, but they all stayed for dinner and accompanied Lin Qi well, after all, it is rare to have such a time as a parent.
Fortunately, Lin Long's mother-in-law opened up, and she would not use chicken feathers as an arrow, and Bei Mingfei lived in her mother's house, so she was very free, as for Quan Yingzi and leaving, naturally she was not controlled by her mother-in-law, and of course she did whatever she wanted.
It was quite late, Lin Qi and Quan Yingzi also drank a little wine and were a little drunk, Lin Long and someone settled his sister Lin Qi well, and then arranged a carriage to send Quan Yingzi back to the house, Quan Yingzi also pulled Lin Long to talk with some alcohol, looking like he wanted to play drunk.
Lin Long covered his forehead, and someone brought a bowl of hangover soup and poured a bowl of Quan Yingzi, which allowed the carriage of the Quan family to drive out of the Lin Mansion.
These two people can really drink, she shook her head angrily, and finally left with Bei Mingfei.
The two sisters still have endless things to say along the way.
However, after Lin Qi returned to the bedroom, he began to fall asleep, which made Lin Lushi cry and laugh suddenly, and poured the sobering soup forcefully, and then covered her with a quilt and retreated, looking at the moon in the sky that seemed to be a layer of fog, she looked forward to Ming'er being able to make a beautiful day and let Lin Qi out of the pavilion.
This is going to get married tomorrow, Huo Yuan and a group of friends drank alcohol on the way back home, they had to be a little surging in mood, and they missed Lin Qi's delicate face more and more, and they didn't know when they saw her last time, but they knew that after the marriage was engaged, they would see less and leave more politely.
This longing mood crawled around in his heart like a worm, and it became more and more uncontrollable under the urging of alcohol, so he turned his horse's head and headed towards the Lin family, so that Han Guang, who was following him, couldn't close his mouth in surprise.
"Master, at this time to the Lin family?"
"Hmm."
"Master, Mrs. said that you can't meet before marriage, it's unlucky......"
"What?"
Huo Yuan turned his head and looked at his little servant coldly, and saw that Han Guang's cold hair stood up.
"What did you say?"
"Master, the minion didn't say anything......
Hanguang was quite uncompromising, but Uncle Huo patted his right-hand man on the shoulder with satisfaction, "The son can be taught." β
He is a military general, and he doesn't have so many taboos, if he is so poor, how can he go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?
That night, someone sneaked into the Lin family like this, and entered the boudoir of his fiancΓ©e, who was going to get married tomorrow, and poor Hanguang could only watch the wind outside, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt sad.
Lin Qi turned over, she was still a little dizzy because she was drunk, but she felt that someone was beside her bed, she opened her eyes in shock, and shouted, "Who?" β
"It's me.".
