Chapter 123
Since the two families have a tacit understanding on this matter, Chu Yu's enthusiasm for holding back for two years is particularly unbearable. When I came out of the camp in the evening, I didn't worry about going home, but went to Zhao's house first.
Mrs. Chu hated that iron could not become steel, and complained to her husband, "Just ask him to change his surname to Zhao!" ”
General Chu got his wife in one sentence, and he sighed for a long time, "Speaking of which, Ayu is more blessed than me, I think at the beginning, I also went every day, mostly sitting on a cold bench." ”
Mrs. Chu's face suddenly turned red, and she said angrily, "The things of eight hundred years ago are taken out and choked me again." ”
The husband and wife happily talked about other things, not mentioning Chu Yu.
Actually, Chu Yu is not very comfortable now, originally he was in his sister's boudoir, the two whispered, as soon as the old man came back, he invited him to the west wing for hospitality, the two men with N generation gaps between them really don't have much to say, Chu Yu knew in his heart that he didn't want to get close to his sister anymore today, and after a while, he found a reason to leave.
Zhao Yong didn't let his hairy son-in-law go back hungry, so he ordered the cook to clean up the wine and food, and didn't ask Chu Yu to eat more wine. Chu Yu is very willing to listen to his father-in-law's words, that is, the appearance of Zhao Changqing is very annoying, for example, he smiled and said, "Sister Qing is with your uncle, the amount of alcohol is not bad, but when you drink, your face will be red." "The little look after blushing...... Chu Yu almost snickered, Zhao Yong saw his bad face, and he really wanted to kick Chu's son-in-law out of the door.
It's so annoying, for the father-in-law all over the world, there is no creature that hates it more than a son-in-law~
Zhao Yong said, "Changqing is young, don't always fool her." "His stupid daughter, I met this kind of goblin husband.
"No, no, I'll take care of her as a brother." Chu Yu was very attentive to the old man to hold a pot to persuade him to drink, "I have to ride a horse, it's not good to drink too much, uncle, you drink a few more glasses." It's cold at this time, drink two glasses of wine, and go to bed warmly. ”
After a while, Zhao Yong was all drunk, and Chu Yu helped to wrap the person in a good picture and carry him to the house, and explained to Ling Shi in a gentle and elegant manner, "My uncle is happy, so he drinks a few more, and my aunt gives him a bowl of sobering soup, otherwise he will have a headache when he wakes up." It was getting late, so I went back first. ”
"You also drink a decanting soup before leaving."
"Don't worry, uncle, I didn't ask me to drink."
Ling Shi looked at the darkness outside, and admonished, "Put on your clothes, be careful on the road, and don't ride fast horses." He sent Zhao Changning to send Chu Yu again, complaining in his heart that his husband had no score, why did he get drunk in front of his son-in-law.
Zhao Changning sent Chu Yu to the door and kept looking at him. Chu Yu smiled, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhao Changning asked, "Brother Chu, do you want to marry my sister?" ”
"Yes! What, you're not happy that I'm your brother-in-law? "He has a good relationship with Zhao Changning, and he just bribed his brother-in-law with a small bow and arrow two days ago.
Zhao Changning sighed, "It's not that I'm unhappy, my sister said that she wouldn't ask me to talk to you, and she also said that you were going to marry a daughter-in-law." Aren't you going to marry someone else, why are you marrying my sister again? ”
Chu Yu smiled, "Your sister is shy." Most women are duplicitous, and when they say 'necrotic', most of them think you're cute. When they say, 'ignore you,' they actually want to ignore you. You have to listen to your sister's meaning in reverse. ”
Zhao Changning didn't fall for Chu Yu's ghost, and said, "Nonsense, my sister never lied to me." Zhao Changning was already nine years old, a hazy age, and asked Chu Yu suspiciously, "Did you fall in love with other women first?" For a long time, his sister was unhappy when she mentioned Chu Yu.
Chu Yu told Zhao Changning about his infatuation with Zhao Changqing at the gate, Chu Yu's eloquence can brainwash his father, do homework for his father-in-law, and get his father-in-law drunk, and it is a matter of minutes to win a Zhao Changning. Zhao Changning snorted with emotion, and said sincerely, "Brother Chu, you are really a good person!" ”
"Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to ask to marry Sister Qing." Touching Zhao Changning's head, Chu Yu said two words, "Go back, it's cold." "Get on your horse and go.
When Chu Yu returned home, he naturally wanted to go to his parents to say goodbye, although he was often angry with his unfilial son, Mrs. Chu still asked with concern, "Have you eaten?" ”
Chu Yu said, "I ate at Sister Qing's house." ”
Mrs. Chu's eyebrows jumped, "Changqing ate with you?" ”
"Where, mother! How could I eat with my female dependents, I ate with Uncle Zhao. He took a sip of the tea held by Yahuan and asked, "Mother, can you have dinner with my father?" ”
"When is it, can you still skip eating? I've used it a long time ago. Mrs. Chu asked, "Have you eaten the decanting soup?" "I don't like to eat my own food, but I go to please my father-in-law.
Chu Yu complained, "Uncle Zhao is stingy and didn't ask me to eat." He also stole two jars of his father's good wine and sent them away.
Mrs. Chu's wife thought about it, and she agreed with Zhao Yong's move, and said, "This is the case, you ride a horse, it's cold, it's better not to eat and drink." Otherwise, it is not good to choke on the wind and get cold. Then he asked him, "You have been so sloppy in the past, but you have seen Miss Zhao?" ”
Chu Yu was happy between his eyebrows and smiled, "I saw it, but I saw that Sister Qing was twisting and pinching, but it was not as generous and interesting as before." This is okay, now Zhao Changqing is still immersed in the joy of family affairs, and he is smiling when he sees him, how cute and cute it is, Chu Yu took the opportunity to touch his little hand twice, and Zhao Changqing didn't beat him out.
Mrs. Chu smiled, "Girls' homes, there is no one who is not shy, and you don't always go there if you have nothing to do." Other girls are reserved, and you yourself should be more self-respecting. "Don't always rush to post upside down.
Chu Yu said, "Why don't you go!" Anyway, sooner or later it's mine, I'll go and see what it matters. ”
"Bastard!" Laugh and scold. Mrs. Chu saw that her son liked it so much, even if she was uneasy. Her own marriage is satisfactory, and her husband and wife are harmonious, so she naturally wants to find a lovely daughter-in-law for her son, not to mention, Mrs. Chu is not such a scheming woman, at this time, she recognized Zhao Changqing, so she only thought about the benefits of people, and said with a smile, "Our two families are decided, but Changqing is young, and there is no ceremony to make a marriage when he is not in time. ”
"It's okay to settle it sooner, right?" Chu Yu himself was very anxious.
Mrs. Chu said, "It's too late for you?" I heard that during the Dafeng Dynasty, it was clearly stipulated that those who were under the age of eighteen could not get married. These rules are not very particular about the previous dynasties, but there are also worldliness in the end. Those who never get married at fifteen get at least sixteen. ”
Chu Yu sighed, "It's all about this." ”
Mrs. Chu smiled, "It's getting late, let's go and rest." After sending her son to rest, Mrs. Chu discussed with her husband, "I think, although it is not appropriate to marry now." Ah Yu always runs to other people's houses like this, which is not a problem. When let's go to Zhao's house, we changed Geng post first. One is that Miss Zhao is small, although this matter has not yet been decided, it is also decided, and they both have a bottom in their hearts. Second, no matter what, even before marriage, it is necessary to make a divination first. ”
General Chu said, "Very much." ”
Among them, Chu Yue was running errands, and Chu Yue smiled with her husband, "I have become the matchmaker of the eldest brother." ”
Liang Qingyuan smiled, "That's right, if it weren't for your dealings with Miss Zhao over the years, they wouldn't be able to see each other right." ”
Chu Yue smiled, "Where is me, or when the eldest brother pretended to be me when he was a child, he participated in the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Zhu family, and he looked at Sister Qing correctly, and when he went home, he asked me to invite her in the next post, and we just met." ”
Liang Qingyuan was deeply impressed, "Could it be that the eldest brother was ...... at that time?"
"Less nonsense." Chu Yue smiled, "At that time, at best, I only felt that Sister Qing was cute, she was round and white when she was a child, which was very painful." Saying that, Chu Yue became annoyed again, and said, "You say, why don't I have it yet?" "We've been married for more than a year.
Liang Qingyuan smiled and comforted his wife, "What's the hurry, we're all young." I heard that it was my mother-in-law, and I was in my early twenties before I gave birth to you and Ayu. ”
The husband and wife talked for a while, and they didn't talk about it.
However, after General Chu and Mrs. Chu had a polite meeting with Zhao Yongling and his wife, Mrs. Chu said to General Chu in private, "The Zhao family's house is spacious, but looking at the mediocre furniture, it is estimated that there will not be much to accompany it. “
General Chu smiled, "We are not people who want money from our daughters-in-law, so why should we care about this." There is only one son in the family, and they will all be theirs in the future. As long as Miss Zhao is known and married, the husband and wife are harmonious, it is better than many marriages. ”
Mrs. Chu smiled, "This is also the case, then I will go to the eight characters with someone." ”
I have to say that the immortals of Buddhism and Taoism are very powerful, and within two days, Mrs. Chu said to her husband with a happy eyebrow, "Good luck!" It is said that Miss Zhao is born well, Wangfu Wangzi! I can't get along with our Ayu anymore, it's the one, a match made in heaven! ”
Hearing this, General Chu was also happy and smiled, "Bring it to me and take a look." ”
Mrs. Chu took a bunch of comments to her husband, and General Chu was startled, "How many monks have you found?" ”
Mrs. Chu smiled, "Not only monks, but also Taoist priests, sisters-in-law, all those who are famous, I have gone to join them." It is indeed excellent, there is also Miss Zhao's eight-character criticism, you see how accurate, saying that she was 'born in the cold, the body of fate, due to fate, the heavens blessed, the disaster is auspicious, the evil turns into auspiciousness, the children and grandchildren are complete, and the good fortune', this is the senior monk of the Ping'an Temple personally approved! The monk also said, such a character, who marries whom! Fortunately, our son has a good vision! "Start early!
No matter what the foundation is, they can't fight for their lives!
Especially Mrs. Chu herself is very trusting of fate, when there were several sisters in the family, she married the most ordinary, as a result, her life was good, and her husband was not only promising, but also had a better character.
Because of Zhao Changqing's prosperity, Mrs. Chu threw away all the previous dislike and discussed with her husband, "I wonder how many pairs of dragon and phoenix fetuses Miss Zhao can give birth to our family in the future?" Hurry up and take out the names of your grandchildren, don't panic. ”
General Chu said in his heart: There is no more fickle person than a woman!
Chu Yu: Why didn't you think of this trick of fortune telling!
If you change the Geng post, you have crossed the clear road.
Chu Yu often goes to Zhao's house, usually he can only go to see Zhao Changqing in the evening, and when he arrives at Xiu Mu, he comes to Zhao Changqing early to go out on a date. Because he can speak and act beautifully, he has been bribed from Mrs. Zhao to Zhao Changyu, and even Mr. Su and Su Bai have not been left behind, as well as the slaves and servants of the Zhao family, because of the generous actions of the prince of Chu, he has no mouth to say good things about Chu Yu. Chu Yu didn't like Zhao Rong very much, but his face was not revealed.
Zhao Changqing called Chu Yu to her room, turned out a box of patterns, and said, "Brother Chu, you pick a pattern you like, and I'll embroider a purse for you." ”
Chu Yu was obviously not satisfied with small objects such as purses and handkerchiefs, and he said, "If you have a heart, make a set of clothes for me to wear." ”
"I'll talk about the clothes later, do you pick them?" She took the initiative to say it, but she didn't give face.
Chu Yu looked at Zhao Changqing's things and smiled, "Are all the tricks here for me?" "It's all plain and generous types.
"Look at you." Zhao Changqing quietly reddened his ears and urged, "Pick quickly, don't you still have to go out, don't grind." ”
Chu Yu casually pointed to one, "That's it." ”
"Liuyun Baifu's ah, a little plain. Or is this entwined lotus flower beautiful, do you think? Zhao Changqing said, "It's still a lotus flower." So I made up my mind.
Chu Yu's black line, "Are you asking me to pick?" ”
"Who told you to have bad eyesight." Zhao Changqing said, "Liuyun Baifu will be used when he is older, and if he uses this at a young age, it will be obvious that he is twilight." Picking out the patterns and sandwiching them in the pages, Zhao Changqing smiled at the box and asked, "Where are we going?" ”
Chu Yu liked the appearance of her little housewife, and reached out to pinch her nose, "You'll know when you go." ”
Zhao Changqing happily left with Chu Yu, and Zhao Yong chatted with Ling, "Don't always go out." ”
Ling said, "Ah Yu always comes over, did you drive him out?" Besides, Ah Yu is free when he is resting. They have a good relationship, and they will live a better life in the future. You look at your son-in-law's unpleasant temper, but you have to change. Now is Changqing, and Ah Rong will have to marry in the future. ”
"Who said I didn't like my son-in-law?"
Ling sneered, "Or was it the last time I got drunk in front of my son-in-law, and I didn't want to be on my face?" ”
"Nonsense." That stinky boy actually drunk his father-in-law, and he was simply lawless. However, Zhao Yong will never admit it!
Ling Shi smiled and said, "I have serious things to discuss with you." Changqing is young now, and he is still determined not to kiss, but our Geng post has also been changed, and this dowry should also be prepared. Ah Yu is six years older than Changqing, and when we treat Changqing and Lu, we can't keep her at home for a year or two. ”
This is the disadvantage of looking for an "old son-in-law"! Zhao Yong pondered for a moment and said, "Prepare the dowry first." Over the years, we have also saved up some fine wood, and I will ask someone to pay attention to it, and it is best to get some red sandalwood or something back. ”
Ling Shi listened and nodded at the same time, "I told the shopkeeper that she will buy some high-quality materials next year, and she will have to start doing the embroidery work in the dowry." There is no rush for head and face jewelry, these things change every year, and it is not too late to fight after two years. It's antique artifacts and the like, we don't have much. "If you marry an ordinary family, you don't have to pay attention to this. However, large families are more particular.
Zhao Yong could also think about it, "What our family is like, the General's Mansion also knows." Let's do our best to accompany the girl, and we don't have to slap a swollen face and be fat, Changqing is not such a vain character. ”
Ling Shi smiled, "That's the same. I calculated it carefully, took out three thousand taels to prepare a dowry for her, and then found a small Zhuangzi for her to accompany her. "Three thousand taels doesn't look like much, but it's not a lot. Zhao Yong has been a hundred households for a few years, and his family has bought a house and land, and the Zhao family has a thin foundation, which is already most of the family's belongings. Thinking of something, Ling suddenly smiled and said, "Besides, our Changqing is married well, the old ancestor has always loved her, and there is no one who doesn't add makeup to the old ancestor when the time comes." ”
Zhao Yong said, "Let's do it for the time being." After all, the family matter has not been decided, so don't shout about it everywhere yet. ”
Ling smiled, "Can I not know this?" After all, we are women, so it's good to be reserved in everything. "Actually, I want to show off in my heart, and I want to make a frame to endure it, it's really painful and happy.
Now the Ling family can be said to be happy, especially when thinking of Zhao Changqing's family affairs, there is no more unsatisfactory. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, in the winter season, she asked Bai Pozi to weigh ten taels of gold and give each of her two daughters a set of gold jewelry, and then prepared to ask them to make two more sets of fresh dresses to wear.
Ling sighed with a smile, "It's the age when you should dress up, you look good in anything." ”
Bai Pozi smiled and flattered, "The two girls in our family are born well, so they look good in everything." If it is stupid and rough, no matter how bright the material rests on the body, it is also a waste. ”
Ling smiled, "Don't say that when you go out, let others say that we are frivolous." "I am also very proud of my daughter's beauty, especially the eldest daughter, who looks good, and the rules and etiquette are good. Ling said, "In the past, Changqing wanted to study when he was a child, and I thought that my family was not rich, so I was very reluctant. Now I understand the benefits of this, men are reasonable in reading, that is, girls, who read and read, in the end it is different. "That's why I have such a good future today.
"yes. Although I don't know how to say it, I also feel that our girl's behavior is different from other girls. "The happy event of the master's family is also the happy event of the slaves and maids, and the white woman watched Zhao Changqing grow up, and said with a smile, "It is also the gentleman invited by our family, how many girls who study with the female gentleman, I don't look as good as our girls." This is not a lie, Mr. Su has been in the Zhao family for many years, what kind of character he has, and the white woman and the others who are slaves and maids are deeply respected. Not to mention that Su Bai is getting more and more profitable year by year, and every year he comes back from the highest reward in the school, I heard that the examiner will be taken next year, and the servants and maids of the Bai Pozi and their servants and maids discussed in private, and they all said that Su Bai will be the material of the official master in the future.
Ling said, "Thanks to you for reminding me, this is also cold." When the skins sent to nitrate last time are sent back, remember to remind me and send some to Mr. Su. ”
Bai Pozi hurriedly responded.
After a while, I saw the little girl Huan Xiang'er come in and come back: The uncle's wife sent someone to report the good news.
Ling sat up straight and asked, "What's the happy event?" Let people in. ”
It was a mother-in-law next to Mrs. Ling, who smiled and said, "Say hello to Mrs. Ling, our aunt and grandmother were born this morning!" ”
Ling smiled and asked, "Is it a man or a woman?" Is the eldest sister still safe? ”
The mother-in-law smiled, "I gave birth to a brother, and the mother and son are safe." ”
It's a blessing to get a man in one fell swoop! Ling recited the Buddha, very happy for his niece, and asked, "Sister-in-law went to Chen's house?" “
The mother-in-law smiled, "My aunt and grandmother started it last night, and the in-laws came to pick up our wife, and the wife watched the aunt and grandmother give birth to the young master safely, and the in-laws and grandmothers had already arranged the maid-in-law, and our wife went home." The slave maid came to report the good news to the aunt and relatives, and also instructed the slave and maid to tell the aunt and the aunt to ask the aunt not to go over the lively day at three o'clock. ”
Ling smiled, "Let my sister-in-law rest assured, I must go." He also instructed the white woman, "It is a great joy, reward her with five hundred dollars." ”
The mother-in-law thanked her for retiring, thinking that Mrs. Gu was an official family in the end, and she was generous and kind, and she didn't even get a reward from the second wife.
Zhao Changqing came back in the evening and was very happy to hear that Sister Ling had given birth to a son, and said with a smile, "It's really a great event." I counted that my eldest sister was in the past month or two, and I had made the little shoes for the child earlier, which was a little bit of my heart as a cousin and aunt. So saying, he told Yongfu to go and fetch it.
Ling smiled and asked, "Where did you go to play today?" ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's such a cold day, and I haven't gone anywhere." It was a three-entry house that Brother Chu could buy by Master Ouyang before, and it was empty after Master Ouyang moved away, so let's go and take a look. "Of course, we also cooked barbecue and cooked food together.
Ling's heart was clear, so he sent the white woman down and whispered to her daughter, "Geng Ti has been changed, this matter is decided." However, in the end, you haven't gotten married, you have to keep a few minds, and what others say is what they say. ”
Zhao Changqing's face turned red, and he said shyly, "Where does my mother want to go, she just ate barbecue and talked for a while." ”
"If only you understood." Ling Shixin said that there was also barbecue at home, and he could also talk, so he ran to a house where no one lived. If the girl shrinks her hands and feet and can't take her hands to worry, this is a market, and it is also uneasy. Thinking of when he was young, Ling smiled and let go again, all men in the world are the same.
After a while, Yongfu took a pair of big red tiger head shoes worn by children, the shoes were indescribably delicate and cute, Ling couldn't put it down and looked at it again, and smiled, "It's really good." ”
Zhao Changning also led Zhao Changyu in, and shouted outside the door, "Sister, do you know that the eldest sister gave birth to a son?" ”
"Got it." Zhao Changqing smiled, "If you are an uncle, you also have to send something." ”
Zhao Changning said, "I have already thought about it, the yellow sheep that my sister hunted before, the horns that were untied are inlaid for me, and I will take one to give to my little nephew." ”
Zhao Changyu asked blankly, "Brother, what should I send?" ”
Zhao Changning said, "You are still young, so you don't need to send anything." Just send it when you're my age. ”
Zhao Changyu happily agreed.
Zhao Rong also came over when she heard the voice, and said with a smile, "I can't do needlework, so I asked Yihua to make a small dress and prepare it." ”
Ling Shi saw it, touched it again, and said, "It's okay to give it away." He also told Zhao Rong, "You are still young, you need to practice more needlework." When your sister was your age, she was able to tie good flowers. ”
Zhao Rong was bored, but she still smiled.
She really doesn't know what Zhao Changqing has cultivated**, a person like Chu Gongzi, what kind of woman has never seen it, and she is fascinated by Zhao Changqing!
If Zhao Changqing really marries into the Chu family, even if she finally fulfills her wish, I'm afraid she won't be able to compare to Zhao Changqing for the rest of her life!
As long as they are like this together, Zhao Rong is really a thousand unsettled!
The author has something to say: hahaha, good night~~~~~~~~
