Chapter 59: The Heart of Gossip

Yue Ying took out a gossip and lowered her voice a few points, and said: "Shilang of Liu's family is secretly friendly with the eldest lady of the Jiang family, and Liu Shilang wants to ask for the eldest lady of the Jiang family." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

"That's a good thing." I sighed, and at the same time I was a little puzzled by what Yueying said before.

"I thought it was a happy event." Yue Ying lowered her face and said, "But later, I heard from others that the eldest lady of the Jiang family had a marriage contract with the Liu family before, and she was still the wife of the eldest son of the Liu family. ”

I was confused, blinked my eyes, interrupted her and asked, "Then what you just said about 'secretly getting along' means that the two of them have a personal affair behind Liu Dalang's back?" After a pause, he said, "That's why this matter will go to Xuan Niang?" ”

"That was later." Yue Ying took my arm and crossed the threshold together, explaining, "The mother-in-law on the stove said that Liu Dalang and the eldest lady of the Jiang family died unexpectedly before they got married, and later, Liu Shilang and the eldest lady of the Jiang family got along. ”

I nodded, and asked Yueying again: "Then they don't agree to this family business, or what?" ”

By the time she said this, Yueying and I had already arrived at the house, and the meal had already been arranged. I sat down and beckoned Yueying again, "Let's talk while eating." ”

Yue Ying took the bowl and sat far away from the table in the seat below. Although I have said it many times, she has always maintained this humble and cautious posture.

"The main thing is that the parents of the Liu family disagree, and the two old men of the Jiang family have nothing to object, after all, the eldest lady of the Jiang family is also in her twenties, and they want to marry their daughter." Yueying said.

"Didn't they tell the eldest lady of the Jiang family about other people?" I asked.

"Nope." Yue Ying shook her head and said, "They said that the eldest lady of the Jiang family has always been guarding filial piety for Liu Dalang as the surviving person of Liu Dalang. She herself didn't want to remarry, and no one else came to her door to ask for it. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly swallowed the food in my mouth, and said, "Why is this?" ”

The eldest lady of the Jiang family is willing to keep filial piety for her fiancΓ©, presumably she cares a lot about her fiancΓ©. In that case, how could she secretly get along with Liu Shilang?

"Liu Dalang's death has something to do with the eldest lady of the Jiang family," Yue Ying said, "Soon after they got married, one day, the eldest lady of the Jiang family was driving sheep in the mountains, and suddenly ran into a big insect, just Liu Dalang saw it, he was young and vigorous, in order to protect the eldest lady of the Jiang family and the sheep, he took a machete and fought with the big insect, and finally the big insect was killed, but he himself was bitten by the big insect, and he didn't survive until the second day, and he died." ”

I was so frightened that I asked her, "Are there any big insects in the mountains around here?" ”

"Hmm." Yue Ying nodded seriously and said, "This is the countryside after all. At first, I couldn't believe it, but the mother-in-law on the stove said that there was a big insect that bit the calf the year before last. Then he reassured me and said, "But Zhu Niang don't be afraid, big insects generally don't dare to go down the mountain, and they don't appear often." ”

I nodded, was silent for a while, and asked, "Is it because of this that the eldest lady of the Jiang family decided to keep filial piety for Liu Dalang?" ”

"I guess so." Yueying was not very sure, and added, "But some people say that Liu Dalang's mother also asked for this." After all, he is the eldest son of the Liu family, and he is a son that the Liu family's parents value very much. ”

Dare to fight tigers at a young age, such a man must be masculine and brave, he is the leader of the family, and his parents naturally attach great importance to him. Suddenly died, the parents must have suffered quite a lot.

I took a few bites of food, and asked Yueying again: "Then what's the matter with them coming to Guanniang?" ”

"Liu Shilang is determined to marry the eldest lady of the Jiang family, and the two old men of the Liu family are angry, so they came to find Xuan Niang and want Xuan Niang to make decisions for them."

"How can someone else call the shots in such a thing?" My words blurted out, "Isn't this embarrassing Niang?" ”

Yueying looked strange and said in a low voice: "Gui Xiang, who followed Guanniang, said that there is a good chance that Guanniang will stand on the side of the two old men of the Liu family. ”

"Why?" I was surprised.

Isn't Xuan Niang trying to reconcile with it? The reason why the Liu family's parents disagree is largely because of the heart knot, and since it is a heart knot, it can be untied. And Liu Shilang must have made a big determination to shake this thing out under so much pressure, how could he give up halfway?

What does Guan Niang think? I'm a little hard to understand.

"Zhu Niang still doesn't know about Xuan Niang?" Yueying said.

"You know?" I asked rhetorically.

Like Yueying, I've only been here for a day, how does she know so much?

I tapped the porcelain bowl with my chopsticks and teased, "Where did you get all the questions?" ”

Yueying's expression was slightly confused, and she replied: "Zhu Niang has been busy today, so naturally she has no time to listen to this." I was alone in the yard in the morning...... The people here are very kind, and they like to talk to people, so I just don't want to know. ”

I thought she looked very funny, so I said, "Then tell me, what's going on with Xuan Niang?" ”

"Guanniang, she is amazing, she started to manage the Grange when she was eighteen or nineteen......" Yue Ying looked a little excited.

I interrupted her with a wave of my hand, saying, "I know that. "I asked Xuan Niang about this.

After a pause, I suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in my mind, and Tongyue Ying said: "Guanniang, she is a widow, right?" That's why she values chastity and reputation so much. ”

Guan Niang is nearly forty years old, but she is a person, and it is unlikely that she has not left the cabinet, so she should be widowed and celibate. I speculated privately.

"No, no, no." Yueying's head shook like a rattle, and said, "Guanniang, she has never been married." ”

"No?" I was surprised.

So how did she end up here?

"Why not?" I asked.

Yue Ying shook her head again and said, "I don't know what the specific reason is. Guixiang said that she didn't want to get married, so she never married. ”

I don't want to get married, so I don't want to marry. I couldn't help but sigh: "So, Xuan Niang is not ordinary!" ”

"Of course, otherwise how could the old lady give the Grange to her at ease, at that time Guanniang was not yet twenty years old." Moon Ying said with a voice.

I held my chin and thought for a while, and suddenly reacted, what does this have to do with the two old men of the Liu family?

So I said to Yue Ying, who was struggling to eat: "You told me this, but I still don't understand why Guanniang is on the side of the second elder of the Liu family." ”
