Chapter 70: The Waves

Huangmei tea concoction? Gu Qiluo's eyes lit up, she rarely listened to opera in modern times, but she still knew about the famous Huangmei Opera, and secretly said that this Huangmei tea tune was the predecessor of Huangmei Opera? If this is the case, it is normal for Zhong Chunfeng to like it, compared to the melodious and bright Huangmei Opera, Kunqu Opera is indeed too slow.

Because he said to Xinghua: "Huangmei picks tea? This sounds very good, but I'm afraid that there has never been such a troupe in the capital, and if the peach blossom class wants to become famous in one fell swoop, it should find another way. You ask them to hurry up their time to arrange and rehearse, and strive to sing this play when they go to the prince's mansion, as long as the prince and the side concubine Niangniang like it, they will be considered famous in the capital. ”

"Girl, have you heard this yellow plum tea?" Xinghua was a little curious, looking at Gu Qiluo's appearance, she was very interested in this Huangmei tea tune, and sure enough, she smiled and said: "When I was a child in the countryside, sometimes I went to play in the neighboring village, there was an old woman, who was from Anhui in her early years, I heard her hum once, how to sing I forgot, I remember it very well, but unfortunately I only heard it once, not you talked about it today, I forgot." ”

Xinghua smiled: "I see, since the girl wants to hear it, I will tell them, the peach blossom class is grateful to the girl for her kindness, and because of you, they have the second master as a backer, Guan Shanba and others no longer dare to make up their minds, at this time, you let him go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot, I am afraid that he will not frown." ”

"It's a joke, they're not ribs, what am I doing with them going up the knife mountain and going down to the oil pot?" Gu Qiluo shook his head with a smile, drank all the tea in the cup, then stood up and said, "Let's go." Let's go to the kitchen and discuss the new dishes that will be introduced in the future. ”

Xinghua agreed, and was about to accompany Gu Qiluo out of the house. Seeing Chunyu panting and running over, Xinghua said: "As soon as I came back at noon, I didn't see your figure, and I didn't serve by the girl's side, and I only came back now, where did you go crazy?" With the blush and heartbeat of running at this time, wouldn't it be nice to be less greedy to play? ”

Spring rain is full of anxiety. didn't refute Xinghua's words, but grabbed Gu Qiluo's sleeve and said, "Girl, it's terrible." Earlier I was in the house, and Xiaohua secretly came to tell me that she saw a young man asking to see his wife, so she pretended to go and feed the birds. I heard the man say that he was from Linchuan. Asked to see the master, and said that he was going to formally propose to the eldest girl, so she hurriedly ran to sue me, so I hurriedly went to the front yard, and sure enough, after a while, I saw a young man sent out by his wife, girl, if what Xiaohua said is true. What can I do about this? How...... Someone wants to propose to the girl? The girl is obviously married to the second master, isn't she? ”

Chunyu said quickly and urgently, not to mention that the apricot blossom surface changed color. Even Gu Qiluo has always been calm, and she couldn't help but turn dark at this time, and after Chunyu finished speaking, she was silent for a while before sneering: "After all, let my wife wait for this opportunity." ”

"Girl, do you know where that man came from?" Xinghua heard Gu Qiluo say this, and hurriedly asked, but heard the master say indifferently: "Silly girl, have you forgotten the Linchuan family?" From the moment Zeng Yuan came back to report the news, I knew that the family would definitely appear, but I didn't know what kind of conspiracy they would play, so I just made some preparations, and now, it seems that this family has finally entered Beijing. ”

"What about entering Beijing? The Xiao family has already been hired, and the marriage between the girl and Xiao Qianhu is already a certainty, what kind of storm can the family set off? Xinghua's voice was urgent, in her opinion, no matter how deep Mrs. Lu's city mansion was, there was no way to turn things around.

"Isn't it easy to make waves? Now that the matter between me and Xiao Jiangbei in the capital is being rumored, as long as there is another fire, are you afraid that this matter will not set off a storm? After Gu Qiluo finished speaking in a deep voice, his mind had slowly stabilized, and he said to Xinghua and Chunyu: "Okay, don't let your grandmother know about this, now the original family is just coming to the door, let's wait and see what happens." ”

Xinghua was really anxious, but seeing her girl's indifferent appearance, she had no choice but to suppress her nervousness and anxiety, and thought about it: "Ming'er, I'll go to Baiwei Pavilion, let's see if I let Brother Zeng go to find out where this family is staying." ”

Gu Qiluo nodded and acquiesced to Xinghua's suggestion.

After dinner, the family sat together, and Mrs. Lu only talked to Gu Mingyang about it, not mentioning the fact that someone was visiting during the day, she didn't mention it, and Gu Qiluo naturally couldn't mention it, so she sat there for a while, and everyone said goodbye.

When everyone dispersed and the husband and wife entered the inner room, Mrs. Lu looked at Gu Mingyang with a sad face, and stopped talking several times. After both of them took off their coats and sat on the kang bed, Master Gu asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" But the Xiao family is urging the marriage period again? Now the old lady is already very good, and her old man is anxious about this marriage, so it is better to find a good day nearby, I remember that there are still a few auspicious days of the zodiac after the Dragon Boat Festival. ”

Mrs. Lu sighed and said: "If it is really just a matter of the marriage period, I will not be so distressed, as the master said, just pick a nearby day to complete the marriage of the two children." It's just that there is a big trouble today, alas! Sir, this ...... How can I say it? Do you remember the family you told me about earlier? It's the one who ordered the baby kiss for the eldest girl, and it's the original surname. ”

"Their home? Why did Madame suddenly mention that their family was coming? ”

Gu Mingyang looked at Mrs. Lu suspiciously, but saw that she was embarrassed and refused to speak, and after repeated questioning, Fang said helplessly: "Today, a young man who claims to be the son of the original family came to ask to see, because I heard the old man talk about the past before, I thought that this is the son of the old man, maybe he encountered some trouble to ask for help, but it was not easy to turn away, so I ordered someone to invite him in, who knows...... Who knew that he actually took out a contract marriage letter, saying that it was his father's deathbed will, asking him to come to complete the marriage after Qiluo and Lu, but before he was bent on seeking fame, he delayed for a while, until last autumn after taking the Xiucai exam, then went to Hangzhou to find us, but he knew that the master had become an official, and our family was in the capital, so after the New Year, he took his mother and brother into Beijing together, the lord ...... What do you say, sir? ”

"This ...... This is pure nonsense. Gu Mingyang was so angry that his body trembled, he stood up and said sharply: "Although his father and I had ordered a baby kiss to the two children that day, the child in his family had already drowned, and I didn't write any contract marriage letter, which ...... It's simply unreasonable, in order to climb the power and attach the noble, he does not hesitate to defraud, too ...... It's a bastard. ”

"The old man is angry." Mrs. Lu hurriedly stood up and said: "At that time, the concubine heard this, and it was also five thunders, and she was busy asking for the marriage book to see, and sure enough, the marriage book was the master's handwriting, but it was a little sloppy, according to him, it was written by the old man after drinking. I also asked him about the drowning of the child, but he said that although his eldest brother was gone, the old man and the old man did not explain which son it was, so it was right for him to propose......"

"Bastard, why didn't you explain?" Master Gu was so angry that his face turned red, and he patted the table and said, "What I said that day was that he gave birth to a son, and I gave birth to a daughter, and the two families became in-laws." Isn't that yet stated? ”

Mrs. Lu said faintly: "If the old man says this, it will really make the family bite, isn't this the son born to the original master?" What's more, the eldest son is in order, how can there be a reason for the eldest son to be engaged to the second son if the marriage has not been settled? Once people bite us to death and don't let go, we'll be in for a bad day. Qiluo has already made a marriage with the Xiao family, and the dowry has been accepted, so he must not withdraw from the marriage because of this, and have a bad relationship with the Xiao family. ”

Master Gu said angrily: "This is obviously blackmail, hum!" I don't believe it, I've been through so many things, but I called a yellow-mouthed child to be blackmailed? Tomorrow I will go to Shuntianfu and accuse him of a crime of cheating on marriage. ”

"The old man is angry, you have to think twice about this." Mrs. Lu hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Gu Mingyang, and sighed: "Think about it, since the child of the Xiao family came back from the border pass, and then went to a hot spring, and then the eldest girl insisted on going her own way, and showed up a few times, now the rumors about the two of them in the capital are simply flying all over the sky, and the concubine knows that the master doesn't care about this, but you are in the officialdom after all, and if you don't care, it doesn't mean that those officials don't care either." Now if this matter is publicized, it will not be beneficial to the eldest girl and the master, the Xiao family is the person who has passed the prince's mansion, even if the old general Xiao and the second prince don't care, the prince also wants to be faced, is he willing to let the brother-in-law marry a woman whose reputation has been ruined? ”

"Then what did the lady say? The original family is obviously cheating on marriage and blackmail. Hateful, hateful, think how bright his father was that day? Or would I marry their house? How did it come to the son's generation that it was so unbearable to be a scoundrel? It's so hateful. ”

Gu Mingyang couldn't help panting, obviously angry. But seeing that Mrs. Lu hesitated for a long time, Fang whispered: "Master, the concubine has been embarrassed about this matter all day today, and there is an idea at this time, the original family has a marriage certificate in his hand, whether he is a powerful nobleman or a nobleman, or he abides by his father's will, he will take advantage of it at this time, so the concubine thinks that he can't touch him hard at this time, the eldest girl, we can't give it to him, and we can only wronged the second girl." What the original family wants is just to be the son-in-law of the master, whether it is a scientific examination in the future, or an official, he can get the help of the master, so as long as it is a girl in our family, he doesn't dare to pick and choose, so that Qiluo doesn't have to withdraw from the marriage, and the original family has dealt with the past, what does the master think? ”

"Nope."

Gu Mingyang shook his head categorically, and snorted coldly: "This son of the original family can do such a thing in order to cling to the powerful, with such a heart, how can I marry my daughter to him?" Today he will beg to marry my daughter in order to tie up with a fifth-grade official like me, and tomorrow he will divorce his wife and abandon his children in order to tie up with a second-grade official and marry a new love.
