Chapter 378: Dissuasion
After Quan Bao was stunned for a moment, he immediately wanted to understand who this Mrs. Jian was, no wonder she was a little familiar, it turned out that she was Jian Jingshu's mother.
Surname Jane?
As soon as the next person saw that it was Mrs. Shizi in the house, he hurriedly saluted, "If you go back to Grandma, that is Mrs. Jane." ”
"Who's that man?" She raised her chin and asked the man who had come from behind.
Jian Mei, who left in a hurry, passed by Quan Bao, who came to look for his mother-in-law, and Quan Bao's couldn't help but stop and curiously look at the strange old woman who came to visit early in the morning.
Quan Lu clenched her fists, she had a hunch, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get rid of Jian Mei, how can someone in this world be so thick-skinned?
After speaking, she didn't need the housekeeper to invite her, she raised her feet and left the hall of the right house.
Jian Meishi also got up, looking at the Quan Lu clan who did not enter the oil and salt, and felt a headache, but she still said behind the back of the Quan Lu clan, "Viscountess, I believe that sincerity is the case, and the golden stone is open, so I will leave." ”
After saying that, she was about to leave with the support of the maid.
Quan Lu sneered, "Mrs. Jane, I am not a yellow-haired girl, I believe in a thousand miles of marriage, I only want my daughter to trust a good person, not a Zhongshan wolf who calculates her everywhere." Then she stood up, "Lady Jane, we don't need to say any more, please go back." ”
"The Viscountess misunderstood, I also wanted to talk about this marriage when I contacted the Iceman, why do I need to do more? If it hadn't been an accident at that time, I was afraid that our two families would have decided to get married now, saving so many hardships. She said, "Besides, let's think from the other side, maybe it's God's matchmaker?" Let them meet like this. ”
Jian Meishi actually knew the cause of her son's lovesickness, and she got the news from her son's entourage, and at that time she also secretly thought that it was no wonder that the reason why the Quan family finally stopped mentioning this marriage was probably from this, after all, Quan Yingzi was re-dipped, not a yellow flower girl out of the cabinet.
Quan Lu put down the tea cup in his hand heavily, and the sound he made stopped what Jian Mei was going to say next, she said coldly, "Mrs. Jian, that matter has passed, what kind of character is your son, you know, he is a big man to my daughter's Zhuangzi, he is not afraid of ruining my daughter's reputation, your Jian family is really calculating, how dare I marry my daughter to your family?" ”
Jian Mei's heart was a little more settled, "I don't know why the viscountess changed her mind afterwards, but as a mother, I think the viscountess should worry about her son's life as much as I do." Don't hide it from the Viscountess, my son's wife died early, and the two of them have always respected each other like ice, but my son has always been a kind man, and I dare to say that if the girl of your mansion marries my son, my son will not fail her......"
Quan Lu's tea was silent, she couldn't hide the fact that she liked Jian Jingshu at all, after all, she had indeed tested Jian Mei's tone through the guò iceman at that time, so she could be regarded as acquiescing in this matter.
Jian Mei suppressed the displeasure in her heart, raised her head and looked directly at the Quan Lu clan, even if her family did not have a title to attack now, after all, the ancestors still had this background, so she didn't feel inferior to the Quan Lu clan, she pondered for a moment, she said, "Viscountess, I am here for my son." Although I didn't meet Madame at the beginning, I think we've befriended each other a few times, Viscountess, don't you deny it? ”
After serving tea, she said coldly, "Mrs. Jane, if you want to say anything, say it quickly, I still have something to do at home, and I don't have so much time to spend with you." ”
After thinking about it, she still led Jian Mei to the hall and sat down.
For this perseverance of Jian Mei's family, Quan Lu's family is extremely helpless, I am afraid that I will not give her a chance to speak, and next time she comes, it is better for everyone to make things clear.
Jian Mei's family finally saw the Quan Lu clan, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop the Quan Lu clan, "Viscountess, I know that I came presumptuously, but I really came to visit, and I also asked the Viscountess not to refuse people thousands of miles away, and listen to me, okay?" ”
She gave the order to evict the guest, turned around and left.
Quan Lu looked at her coldly, "I have no relationship with Mrs. Jane, so I don't have anything to talk about, Mrs. Jane, please go back." Someone, send Mrs. Jane away. ”
She stepped forward and saluted the Quan Lu family, "My husband's surname is Jane, and my son is on an errand in the household department, Viscountess, can you give me a little time." ”
When she was rejected by Quan Lu's for the first time, she was not annoyed, but after being annoyed, she felt sorry for her son's request, and looked at her son who had lost a lot of weight because he was busy with business, she was even more distressed, and she scolded Aunt Zhen and Dongmei who were useless.
Jian Meishi knew that she was at a loss, but she couldn't meet Quan Lu's family through normal channels, for the sake of her lovesick son, how could she, as a mother, do her best to let her son get his wish? As soon as she thought that the Dongmei she gave her son had not been able to complete the house so far, she knew that her son had admitted his death, and she was afraid that she would have to be a girl from this powerful family.
Quan Lu's family couldn't pretend not to hear, but he looked at Jian Mei's with a displeased expression, and looked up and down, Jian Jingshu's appearance was quite similar to this biological mother Jian Mei's, "Who are you?" Why did you go straight to my Viscount's Palace? ”
She once had a relationship with the Quan Lu family, so she naturally recognized the head of the Quan family.
"Viscountess." She shouted.
It's just that she underestimated Jian Mei's determination, and in order to see her, Jian Mei's even rushed to the inner courtyard, and even if she was lucky, she met Quan Lu, who was about to return to the inner courtyard.
"No, send her back." She refused mercilessly, this Jian Mei is really cheeky.
Quan Lu, who sent her daughter away and was about to go back to the inner courtyard, received the worship post in her hand, and her expression was gloomy, this is not the first time that Jian Mei has handed her a worship post, but she has been beaten back, and she is indifferent to Jian Jingshu and her person, even if her husband respects her.
At the same time, a carriage that passed by her drove towards the Quan Mansion.
Quan Yingzi was "driven" out of the house by her mother to socialize, and she was helpless for a while while sitting in the carriage.
Quan Lu couldn't see his daughter like this, got up and pulled her up, and asked someone to dig out the skirts that he had recently made for his daughter, all of which were pretty spring colors, and insisted on asking his daughter to change them, and then stuffed her into the carriage and asked the coachman to rush to the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion.
Kwon Yingzi really wants to roll her eyes at her mother, can this be compared to before she left the cabinet? At this time and then, most of her friends who came and went at that time are now wives, and some of them are even mothers, and everyone also has another circle of communication, where is the mood to get together at that time.
"What? Aren't you unsightly? Quan Lu didn't like his daughter's negative attitude, "Besides, your cousin is pregnant, you should go and accompany her, I remember that you liked this kind of party the most when you were not out of the cabinet, why are you so lazy now?" ”
Quan Yingzi glanced at her mother, she told her mother several times that she wanted to go back to Zhuangzi, but her mother was stunned, in fact, more than half a month has passed since that incident, and there are new rumors in the capital, who remembers? What's more, she wasn't swept up again. "It's all a group of young girls who haven't come out of the cabinet, what do I mean by yesterday's yellow flowers?"
"Then you can go, it's boring to stay at home all day." Quan Lu is in favor of his daughter going out to socialize more, after all, he is afraid that his daughter will think crankily at home, and as for returning to Zhuangzi, there is no need to talk about it.
Quan Yingzi nodded, "My cousin said that she recently joined a poetry club, and she held a party in the mansion and invited me to sit together. ”
Quan Lushi, who was sitting across from her, glanced at it, "Your cousin sent it?" ”
Quan Yingzi put down the post in his hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
These things related to people's livelihood are all men's affairs, and women are still gossiping about the shortcomings of the east and west, or what kind of clothing is in fashion, and then which family has a party to whom and who has sent posts and so on.
Let's not talk about what the Qin sisters are plotting about, but after this god entered May, the rain not only did not decrease, but also intensified, and the officials of all sizes in the capital began to get busy, and they were hurrying to repair the river embankment everywhere, especially in the Jiangnan area, Emperor Zhu Yi issued three holy decrees in a row, and repeatedly told the local officials not to be careless.
Qin Jiaozhen's face was surprised, and she hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words in her sister's ear, but Qin Jiaorong's eyes widened the more she listened, this is a good way for her sister?
After figuring it out, she turned around and faced the girl with her head held high, "Say it." ”
Qin Jiaorong's body that was about to leave stopped again, in fact, this sister was not wrong, she just listened to it, if it was useless, it would not be too late to reprimand her.
"Eldest sister, what's the point of listening to it? It couldn't have been worse anyway. Qin Jiaozhen shouted behind her back.
"Hehe, what skills do you have that can help me, don't be ashamed, and don't be afraid of flashing your tongue in the wind." Qin Jiaorong didn't believe this sister's words, said disdainfully, and turned around to leave.
"Eldest sister, I have a way to help you achieve your wish." Qin Jiaozhen changed a demagogic statement, seeing Sister Yan's reaction, the opportunity she was waiting for finally came, because she was nervous, she still held the handkerchief in her hand tightly.
Qin Jiaorong, who shook off Qin Jiaozhen's hand and wanted to leave, paused when she heard this, and looked back at her sister with pity, "What did you say?" ”
Qin Jiaozhen grabbed her and walked forward to a secluded place, and saw that Sister Yan was about to shake off her hand, so she said anxiously, "Little sister knows what the eldest sister is thinking, why doesn't the eldest sister give the little sister a chance to give advice?" Maybe the little sister can help the eldest sister realize her dream. ”
"You let go." Qin Jiaorong drank with a gloomy face.
Qin Jiaozhen boldly stepped forward and grabbed Sister Yan's sleeve, "Eldest sister." ”
Qin Jiaorong didn't even look back.
"Big sister." She called.
Compared with Sister Yan's efforts to please Ye Qin's family, she secretly went to the words of the people of the Marquis of Xiangyang's mansion, so she knew more than Sister Yan and Qin Jiaoyan, who was also a concubine.
She rolled her eyes, as if she had figured out something, the only thing that could make her sister lose her soul was the marriage with Ye Xurong, it seemed that as she observed, her own high-ranking aunt had no right to speak in the Hou Mansion at all, let alone the right to decide on marriage?
Seeing Sister Chang passing by, Qin Jiaozhen hurriedly stepped aside, but the usually high-spirited Sister Chang didn't even look at her, not even sarcastic ridicule, she was quite surprised, and couldn't help but take a few more looks, usually if she did this, Sister Chang would have attacked her a long time ago, but this time she didn't say anything.
Qin Jiaorong wholeheartedly wants to enter the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion, where can she accept such a result? Leaving the upper room where Ye Qin's family lived in a daze, she walked back to the guest house where she temporarily lived in a dejected state. Looking at the prosperous scene in this mansion, how can she be reluctant? My heart throbbed and throbbed.
Ye Qin's sighed, she did have some feelings for this girl during this time of getting along, and she didn't want her to wait indefinitely, "The old marquis doesn't agree, and I can't do it." ”
Qin Jiaorong was suddenly shocked, "Auntie, what are you talking about?" ”
Ye Qin's looked at this delicate niece and granddaughter, in fact, she was very satisfied no matter how she looked at it, "Sister Rong, I'm afraid this matter will not be easy to handle, you are in your youth, why don't you choose another good marriage for your aunt?" Don't delay your flowering ......"
Qin Jiaorong waited for Ye Qin's breakfast, and after the meal, she still asked about her marriage.
Ye Zhong's side of the matter, Ye Qin's family can't receive the news, but even if she doesn't investigate, she also knows that this eldest daughter-in-law, who has never dealt with her, wants to hurry up and betrothal to her younger son to avoid long nights and dreams, and this mood is even more infarcted, and she didn't sleep well all night, as if she was several years old.
Whether it is the Ye family's lineage or the side branches, there are many young sons and daughters who want to get married, if she can satisfy the Ye family, it will be easy to come to the Ye family to do business in the future, so she left the Xiangyang Hou Mansion happily.
Although the iceman did not make this matchmaker, he also got a lot of silver from the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, knowing that this was a hard work fee and cover money for her, because he didn't want her to publicize this episode, so as not to provoke right and wrong, she shook the silver in her hand, and she showed that she had a very firm mouth after thanking her with a thousand thanks.
After Lin Long's persuasion, Ye Zhong's morning trip was canceled.
In this way, the range of her choices is much larger, when she looked at the portrait at the iceman before, she was wholeheartedly planning to choose a third daughter-in-law from a lower background, which led to the difficulty of choice, so there was nothing that could be seen.
As the so-called hero doesn't ask the source, although this metaphor is inappropriate, it is not far behind.
Ye Zhong glanced at Lin Long in surprise, the background of this original girl and the girl of the Du family is not low, especially Du Quan, but the daughter-in-law in front of her seems to have no mustard, and then thought about it, she is still narrow-minded, Lin Long is extremely appreciated by Queen Su, with this backer, her original background is only mentioned by people who are not long-eyed, where would normal people use this to hit people?
"I also found a little bit about this, and besides, I look at the original girl and the girl of the Du family, it's not bad, people are a little squeamish, but it's better that there are not so many bent intestines, maybe they can be worthy of the uncle."
When Lin Long heard this, he couldn't help but feel that Ye Zhong's family was still quite accurate, but Lian Zhi gave her the impression that she was too shrewd, and once it passed, it would not be a good thing.
Ye Zhongshi listened to Lin Long's words, this manic mood calmed down a little, thinking about it carefully, she seemed to be in a hurry, no matter how good the impression this Lianzhi gave her, she couldn't come to the door to ask for marriage based on this impression, after thinking it through, she said, "It's better for you to understand it, I almost broke a big deal." The girl of the Lian family is indeed knowledgeable and knowledgeable, which is also her advantage, although she is a little too shrewd. ”
The right and wrong of the Taoist behind him is not appropriate, Lin Long is also afraid that he has wronged a good person by thinking too much, and subjectively denies Lianzhi, only afraid that his mother-in-law Ye Zhongshi will have opinions, it is better to point it out euphemistically, it is easier for Ye Zhongshi to accept it, after all, Ye Zhongshi has never been a person who is rigid and rigid for his own use.
"Mother-in-law, dissipate your anger, if you are angry, won't you make others happy?" She comforted, "The daughter-in-law has thought about it, now the grandmother's side can't succeed, she wants to find an opportunity to match the Ye Qin family and then marry again, it will take time, no matter how anxious we are, we can't save this time, let's observe first to see if the girl from the Lian family is suitable for the uncle." After a pause, "Yesterday, my sister-in-law's poem invited me to join the society, and I took advantage of the trend, just as I was the east, and invited them to come to the house often to chant poems and paint, back and forth a few times, I believe there will be more problems that can be found." ”
The affairs of husband and wife have always been not allowed to be talked about casually by outsiders, let alone their parents-in-law? Lin Long can't express her opinion on this topic, even if she hates Ye Mingsui's unserious father-in-law, but there are still some things that can't be said, otherwise it is unfilial.
She had never hated Ye Mingsui so much for a moment, wishing that he would die sooner, so that she could live more comfortably.
Ye Zhongshi patted the back of Lin Long's hand, "I know, I'm not angry with them?" Forget about your grandmother, she has always looked at me unpleasantly, and it is your father-in-law who is really chilling. ”
"Mother-in-law, you can't say that." Lin Long hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold down Ye Zhong's family, the oath could not be issued indiscriminately, and until now, the Qin sisters still lived in the Hou Mansion, and the Ye Qin family did not send them back early this morning according to the request of the old Marquis Ye, obviously not giving up.
Ye Zhongshi was still angry after speaking, "A woman like Qin Jiaorong, Ye Qin's family still wants to stuff it into my son, it is her spring and autumn dream, Qin Jiaorong wants to enter the door, unless I die." ”
Lin Long had heard her husband say it once a long time ago, but when she heard her mother-in-law mention it again, she knew that the thrill of last night, if it weren't for her grandfather Ye Laohou's sober mind, I was afraid that Ye Qin's family and Ye Mingsui's mother and son would have succeeded long ago. As soon as she thought that Qin Jiaorong had almost become her concubine, she felt a chill in her back, no wonder Ye Zhong's would act rashly and unusually.
Ye Zhongshi frowned and sighed, "Why don't I know this truth? But do you know what your father-in-law and his mother did yesterday? I'm afraid that if I hesitate any longer, I will really hurt Brother Rong. Then she roughly told me what happened yesterday at Old Marquis Ye's place, and it had been a night, and she mentioned that she was still angry.
Lin Long took a sip of sweet soup and rushed away the taste of the pastry in his mouth, and nodded his head hurriedly, "Mother-in-law, is it too hasty to propose to the Lian family now?" We haven't had an in-depth understanding of this girl, and we only have a preliminary understanding of her character, in case she is not the same, wouldn't we harm the happiness of the little uncle? As the saying goes, marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person can make the family harmonious, and the daughter-in-law thinks that it is better to take it easy. ”
After thinking about it, she thought about the fact that her daughter-in-law came in a hurry, and she also explained that she came for this marriage, so there was only one answer, and there was a problem with the choice of the third daughter-in-law she liked. She was also a very enlightened mother-in-law, so naturally she wouldn't want to go crookedly.
"You stopped me, do you think there's something wrong with that branch?" Ye Zhongshi asked straight to the point.
Lin Long hurriedly smiled and said "yes", and took a piece of dim sum into the mouth, which is the taste she loves to eat, and now the dim sum in Ye Zhong's yard is mainly based on her taste, which shows that Ye Zhong's love for her and respect this mother-in-law a little more.
Ye Zhong was afraid that Lin Long would be hungry, so he hurriedly brought several plates of Lin Long's favorite pastries, "Eat some, don't be hungry." ”
Only then did Lin Long and his mother-in-law return to the warm pavilion.
The iceman is also a very ventilated person, and she is busy going down to eat tea with her mother-in-law, anyway, she can't afford to offend everyone in such a Hou Mansion, unless she doesn't want to mix in the capital, people are polite, and she has to be more interesting.
Lin Long glanced at the elderly iceman, and ordered his subordinates to entertain her to tea.
Ye Zhongshi thought for a while, then nodded, and said to the iceman and the girl behind him, "Stand down first, and I'll call you later." ”
Lin Long could only generously let her mother-in-law look at her, and clenched her mother-in-law's hand, "Mother-in-law, just give me two quarters of an hour, and it won't delay much." ”
Ye Zhongshi frowned and looked at his daughter-in-law's clear eyes steadily, this daughter-in-law has always been generous and not stingy, and it is impossible for her to start blushing at the object of her youngest son's marriage right now.
"Mother-in-law, that's exactly what I'm going to tell you." Lin Long hurriedly said.
But thinking that she still had important things to do, she shook her head, "If you have anything to say when I come back, I am in a hurry to propose to Brother Rong'er at this time......
Aunt Xin acted steadily, and even Ye Zhong's was extremely relieved of her.
A series of questions were smashed, but Lin Long was not messy, but smiled, "Mother-in-law, I came here early in the morning just to talk to you, can you give me some time?" Brother Ting and Brother Hui are still asleep, I let Aunt Xin watch it, and there will be no chaos. ”
Seeing that his daughter-in-law didn't talk back, Ye Zhongshi didn't nag anymore, thinking that he was too nervous, so he relaxed a little, "What are you doing here so early in the morning?" It was late yesterday, so I had to sleep a little longer, I have something to do early this morning, why don't you sit down with me, or go back and sleep again, by the way, are you awake? ”
Lin Long hurriedly smiled at his mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, I'll pay attention." "There is no rebuttal, in this way, there will be no dispute with Ye Zhong's, and Ye Zhong's nervousness is also for her good.
hurriedly went up and grabbed her daughter-in-law's other arm, and seeing that she and the fetus were fine, she took a breath, and the accusation in her eyes became stronger.
Ye Zhong had already ordered the gift to bring to the propose, and discussed it with the iceman, and was about to take advantage of the rain break to hurry up to get this matter done, but he saw his daughter-in-law who was pregnant with Liujia coming in a hurry, for fear that Lin Long would make a mistake, she hurriedly greeted it, and reproached in her mouth, "You give me care, it rained all night yesterday, the ground is slippery, you slow down, don't fall......"
When the mule cart stopped in the main courtyard where Ye Zhong lived, she hurriedly put her hand in Rumei's hand and hurriedly got off the mule cart, and was about to raise her feet to go in, but when she saw Ye Zhong leading a group of people out, she hurriedly called, "Mother-in-law." ”
