Chapter 452: News
"Ruizhu, go and bring the little masters over."
As soon as Li Luan'er heard Mrs. Gu mention her quadruplets, she hurriedly called Ruizhu to arrest the stinky boys who were still playing outside.
She turned around and smiled at Mrs. Gu: "Even if Mrs. thinks it's good, she will help me bring more, and I have a headache when those four stinky boys are arguing." ”
"Hurry up and call them into the house." Mrs. Gu shouted repeatedly, and after a while, Kung Fu Ruizhu came in with quadruplets dressed like lucky dolls painted in the New Year.
As soon as Mrs. Gu saw the chubby four boys, she immediately smiled with unusual kindness, stretched out her hand to beckon the quadruplets to come closer, and asked someone to bring the fruit to eat, and told the quadruplets to take whatever they wanted to eat.
The four Chenyi brothers were taught by Lin and Yan Chengyue to know etiquette, they can make trouble at home, but they are very polite when they go outside to sit outside, although they want to eat those fruits, but they don't take them, and they also know how to greet Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu liked it even more, glared at Li Luan'er and said: "Girl Luan, these four boys in your family are really good, people can't wait to take them home, if you really feel annoying to them, just stay at my house and I'll help you take them." ”
Li Luan'er didn't speak yet, but Chen Yi nodded violently: "Don't go back, Grandma Gu, play." ”
Li Luan'er glanced at him: "Little conscienceless, I love you so much in vain, I even forgot about my own mother when I saw Grandma Gu." ”
Mrs. Gu is happy to hug Chen Yi and never let go, Chang hugged Chen Yuan for a while, hugged Chen Yun for a while, and kissed the youngest Chen Xun and said with a smile: "I look at my sister's boy, who is strong and polite, and it is difficult for my sister to raise him." ”
"If you look good, you can hug more, and I can't say that I can bring you a few boys." Li Luan'er smiled and flattered.
Chang blushed and lowered his head and whispered, but Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "Borrow your auspicious words." If you really bring a few boys to my family, I'll set you up for a drink. ”
As she was talking, she heard a burst of laughter, and another girl opened the curtain, and saw Mrs. Ma coming in in a big red dress, Li Luan'er smiled when she saw her dress: "When your dress comes, no one knows which is the bride." ”
Mrs. Ma also smiled: "I am used to wearing red, and I am not comfortable wearing it." ”
The party said that Mrs. Ma and her party went over to greet Mrs. Gu. After she sat down, Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to come in person." It's time for your family to have a happy event soon, I thought you wouldn't be able to get out. ”
Ma Ting pursed her lips: "What can't be separated, it's just a concubine to marry." How else can it be done? The Gu family's foundation has long been emptied, and I will not use my dowry to fill in Aunt Fu's mother and daughter. ”
Mrs. Gu laughed dryly twice and led the conversation elsewhere, and after a while, her mother-in-law came over to invite her, only saying that Gu Xin was going to comb her hair and makeup.
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she hurriedly wanted to go over. Li Luan'er and Ma Ting also followed to Gu Xin's house, but saw that Gu Xin had already changed into a big red dress. Wearing her long hair, she sat in front of the dressing table and was put on makeup by her mother-in-law.
Li Luan'er said a few words of congratulations in the past, and when she saw that there were a lot of people in the house, she and Ma Ting went to the flower hall next to her to talk.
Li Luan'er looked at Ma Ting's red dress, pursed her lips and smiled: "I heard my sister-in-law say that your second lady has a quarrel with you for the dowry?" ”
Ma Ting sneered: "It's not like that. I cried all day as if I had treated her poorly, and speaking of which, I was not kind to her. After all, I'm not her mother, so why should I be good to her. She didn't want to think about this, she just cared about messing with me, coaxing the old man to say that I was mean, so I was really mean to her, she wanted to toss again, and when she got married, she wanted to take out the dowry, and I saw what kind of face she had. ”
"It's not like that, if you really don't give her a dowry, it will be bad for you." Li Luan'er shook her head with a smile: "It's better to give her something that looks good but is not practical, get a dowry of twenty or thirty lifts, and put a few things in each box, and people outside will not treat her badly when they look at you, and she will not benefit from anything." ”
Ma Ting snorted and laughed: "That's right, my brother and I don't have any descendants, thinking that the Ma family is afraid that it will be extinct, so I don't care about reputation, but now that my Ma family has a future, I have to think more about it for the future, and the method you said is feasible." ”
"Speaking of which, there are many ways for my mother to take care of the concubines and concubines, if you really want to learn, you should take a good look at Mrs. Chang'an's style, that lady has a good reputation in the capital, and the concubines and concubines in the family are like frozen cats, and this is the reputation and benefits are all reaped." Li Luan'er said a few more words and took a sip of tea: "I'm going to go to Xing's house to congratulate me in a while, will you go?" ”
"Go, why don't you go?" Ma Ting quietly lowered her voice: "Xing Hu is now a squire in the military department, and my brother also wants to move into the military department, Xing Hu should always move around here." ”
Speaking of this, Ma Ting's voice lowered again: "I heard my brother say that I am afraid that there will be chaos in the north this year, what is your family's plan, will your brother go to the border or stay in the capital to train troops?" ”
"How?" Li Luan'er was taken aback: "Tartar knocked again?" ”
Ma Ting said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The Tartars and the Houjin people in the north don't know how to hook up together, you also know that the Tartars have been thinking about our Central Plains Huahua World in the previous dynasty, and they almost crossed the Yangtze River at that time, or the grandfather Yingming led people to drive the Tartars to the outside of the pass, so many years have passed, they have not wanted to fight the Great Wall for a moment, and sat on the rivers and mountains of our Central Plains. ”
Li Luan'er's face changed color when she heard this: "Be a damn big dream, these savages who don't understand etiquette still dare to think that we have great rivers and mountains, and wait for the day when we go to the gate and copy their nest." ”
"I know you'll say that." Ma Ting smiled bitterly: "My brother and I don't think so, but look at the attitude of the official family now, playing all day long, and pampering the villain to stay away from Zhongliang, and go on like this for a long time...... Anyway, let's not talk about this, we're just my daughter's family, and it's useless to worry about this. ”
The two were talking, when they heard the sound of drums outside, and the two knew that the Xing family had come to greet them, so they quickly got up and went to the back room.
Listening to the sound of the drum music getting closer and closer, Gu Xin's eyes were red for a while, and he knelt down to give Mrs. Gu a snort, but Mrs. Gu helped her up: "Son, after today, you are a member of the Xing family, you must remember to honor your in-laws, serve your father-in-law, be more tolerant of everything, marry someone else's family is not better than your family, you ...... It is inevitable to suffer more grievances. ”
"Mother." Gu Xin almost burst into tears when he heard this: "Mother, I, I'm not married." ”
"Silly girl." Mrs. Gu shook Gu Xin's hand: "In this world, women don't marry, don't say these crazy things." ”
Ma Ting smiled and took Gu Xin's hand: "Good boy, don't listen to your mother, even if you marry someone, you can't wronged yourself, you can do what you want, the old man is to be filial, but he can't be foolish, he has to serve the public, but he can't rely on his temperament, you and remember, people respect me, I respect people, if people offend me, I can't tolerate him." ”
"What do you call that?" Mrs. Gu glared at Ma Ting: "You don't teach Xin'er badly." ”
"Listen to me." Ma Ting patted Gu Xin's shoulder: "Look at how good my life is now, don't listen to your mother's cautious words, in fact, your mother doesn't think so in her heart, she doesn't dare to say what is in her heart." ”
Mrs. Gu was helpless for a while, so she could only let Ma Ting babble nonsense.
Li Luan'er also took a step forward and nodded: "Mrs. Ma's words have some truth, Sister Xin should listen to it, be a man, no matter how men and women have to stand on their own, you can see me, I was so wronged in the Cui family before, but people didn't want to give up and didn't just kick me out of the door, at that time, I was a little more powerful, and their family didn't dare to be so scoundrel." ”
As soon as Li Luan'er said this, Mrs. Gu was also silent, and she said for a long time before she said: "Son, you just listen to your aunt and Luan's girl, it's my mother who said it wrong, my mother ......."
Li Luan'er's words woke up Mrs. Gu, she thought about the previous life in her dream, it was because she swallowed her anger everywhere that the family ended up like that, she was equivalent to a new life, what else can't be seen.
"I made a note of it." Gu Xin whispered.
At this time, it was lively outside, and many girls stopped Xing Zhi and asked him to read a hypnotic poem, Xing Zhi read a poem with a red face, and the Xing family scattered copper coins outside, which were coaxed by the girls and boys.
Gu Ming pushed the door in: "Mother, sister, the time has come, it's time to get on the sedan chair." ”
Gu Xin lowered her head, took a few steps over and gave Mrs. Gu a snort, and Gu Ming carried her out, but Mrs. Gu did not go out, turned around and sat on the chair to wipe her tears.
Li Luan'er smiled and coaxed her: "Madame, don't be sad, Sister Xin is always close to marrying, and the Xing family is also a generous family, so there will be a lot of times when Sister Xin comes to see you in the future." ”
Only then did Madame Gu laugh again.
Li Luan'er rushed out of Gu's house and went to Xing's house again, she was busy surviving this day, and when she went home, it was dark, Li Luan'er wanted to eat something to rest, and saw Ruizhu come in with a letter.
Li Luan'er took it and took a look at it and knew that it was sent by Daniel Zhang's mansion, about the affairs of the palace.
She took it apart and looked at it carefully, and after looking at it, she burned it.
But it turned out that Princess Yongning went to Cuiwei Courtyard yesterday, and today the official family favored Bai Keqing, who was very good at storytelling, and Zheng Meiren showed signs of falling out of favor.
Li Luan'er didn't care much about which beauty the official family favored, she just guessed what happened to Princess Yongning going to Cuiwei Courtyard.
didn't wait for her to think about it, Chen Yi took her younger brothers into the house, Li Luan'er hurriedly greeted her own kid, but there was no time to guess again, until another letter came from the palace the next morning, Li Luan'er didn't understand the reason. (To be continued) R580
