Chapter 64: Lingrong's marriage
"I don't know what the young master is going to do, and I don't make it clear to my wife, if something happens, my wife can deal with it. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Luo's mother muttered while packing up the clothes for Xiao Shi's wedding banquet tomorrow.
"He only said that he wanted to avenge Yu'er, and then asked what he was going to do, so he refused to say anything, and I couldn't help it." Xiao Shi took a sip of tea and said, "This kid still doesn't give up on Yu'er." Thinking that Ming German's feelings for Yu'er were so deep, Xiao's eyes were a little fluttering.
"What does Madame think of this dress?" Luo's mother picked up a water-red gown and showed it to Xiao.
Xiao Shi took it, gently stroked the golden thread peony on it, and said with a smile: "I made this dress when Yu'er was still in it, and I only wore it once." Recalling the events of that day, Xiao Shi had a thick smile on his face, but his face soon changed, "Since this Linglong came back, I haven't felt comfortable for a day." After that, he handed the clothes to Mother Luo, "If you don't wear this, the wife of the Shen family will definitely wear red tomorrow, and I can't be the same color as her." ”
Luo's mother took it with a smile, "Mrs. Cousin has a heart." Xiao Shiken let the wife of the Shen family in her clothes, so as to give Xiao Yuheng face, so as not to make her mother-in-law angry with her because of this displeasure.
"Yuheng girl grew up with Yu'er since she was a child, and she played a lot in front of me." Xiao pointed to a pink one and said, "Just wear this." ”
Luo's mother picked up the clothes and said with a smile: "Mrs. is really sharp-eyed, this dress was made by Mrs. when the second lady was with her." With that, he handed the garment to Xiao Shi, and turned to find the skirt that matched the garment.
Xiao Shi took the clothes and stroked them for a while, and suddenly laughed, "You didn't mention this mouthless gourd, but I forgot about this important matter." ”
"What's the matter?" Luo's mother turned to look at Xiao.
"The lord told me last night that the prince deliberately wants to use the remaining two young ladies in our house to win people's hearts! The lord also wants to take this opportunity to further his relationship with the crown prince, so let me pay attention to it these days. Xiao picked up a grape, peeled it and put it in his mouth, talking about Lingrong's marriage, Xiao smiled all over his face, and laughed straight to his heart.
"The master is worried about the marriage of the second and third misses, but the wife can save a lot of worry, and when the time comes, the people who are looking for it will be good, and I can't complain about the wife." When Mother Luo heard this, she smiled.
Since Lingyu got married, someone in the house came to propose to Lingrong every day, Xiao deliberately didn't want to find a good family for Lingrong and Linglong, and was afraid that the old lady would complain too much, and she was upset these days, but she didn't expect such a big pie to fall from the sky.
"But that's not it, I estimate what the lord means, Linglong didn't have time, so I did it for the Rong girl first, the lord mentioned to me yesterday a sentence of Zhaodehou Mansion, saying that the old marquis has no wife, and wants to marry a successor." Xiao said with a smile.
Luo's mother listened, and frowned in her heart, Zhaodehou Mansion she knows, it is the most golden jade and the most defeated of the family, the old marquis made military exploits when he was young, but people are also disabled on the battlefield, and when he returned to Kyoto, he was relieved to be an idle marquis, walking birds and visiting the kiln all day long, and the aunt carried it home room by room, and there were more than 20 people who could be counted.
These more than 20 aunts still have brothers and sisters under their knees, and now, the eldest son of the old marquis is afraid that he will have Mu Shichang's age, and the youngest is still a milk doll.
It sounds like a good name to do such a continuation of the strings, Mrs. Houfu, but this is a real day......
Such a person, Xiao Shi just hated Lingrong and Linglong, and he couldn't think of it before. If Xiao really made the decision to marry Lingrong in, the old lady would have to divorce her. But now that the master is in charge, that's another matter.
"The wife of his family is not ordinary decent, and she can be given a decree if she marries." Luo's mother said with a smile: "However, I am afraid that the old lady will feel sorry for her granddaughter and be reluctant, after all, the Hou Ye is also fifty years old." ”
"It's going to hurt when you're older." Xiao Shi raised the corners of his mouth and couldn't hide the smile in his heart, how could he not laugh, the old man made the decision to marry Ling Rong to the Zhaodehou Mansion, and Xiao Shi could wake up laughing even if he fell asleep, "I can't blame the old lady for this, I'm afraid that the prince will be a matchmaker when the time comes." ”
As he was talking, a small servant outside spread the word under the window: "Madam, Seventh Master Rong is here." ”
"Tell him that the master hasn't come back yet, so let's take it to the study first." Xiao Shi ordered through the window that Rong Qi of the Prince's Mansion and Mu Shichang have been in frequent contact these days, and often go to Mu Mansion to find Mu Shichang, and Xiao Shi is no longer surprised.
"Madam, Seventh Master Rong said he was looking for you." The little guy said again.
Xiao Shi was shocked, Rong Qi is the prince's personal attendant, could it be that there is something wrong with Yu'er? Otherwise, how could I find the inner courtyard? "Come in." Xiao Shi pulled his hair, patted the ash on his body and said.
After that, the girl opened the curtain and led Rong Qi into the house.
"The little one greets the wife." Rong Qi half bent down and saluted.
Xiao Shi hurriedly smiled and stopped, "Family, don't see you like this, Mother Luo, pour tea for Rong Qiye." Although Rong Qi is a slave, because he is deeply trusted by the prince, no one treats him as a slave except for the prince, and they all talk to him with three points of respect.
Rong Qi hurriedly waved his hand, "Mrs. doesn't have to bother, the little one is to pass a word to Mrs." ”
When Xiao Shi heard him say this, he was immediately shocked, "But what happened to Yu Liangdi?" ”
Rong Qi said with a smile: "Yu Liangdi is deeply favored by the prince. ”
Xiao's heart, which was almost in his throat, immediately fell into his stomach and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's the matter of the second lady in the house," Rong Qi glanced at Xiao Shi, paused, and said: "Yu Liangdi asked me to tell my wife that I must prepare a dowry for the second lady, and it must be rich, although I don't say ten miles of red makeup, but it can't be shabby." ”
Yu'er? Xiao looked at Rong Qi suspiciously, how did Yu'er use the prince's people.
Rong Qi saw through Xiao's thoughts, and immediately smiled: "Yu Liangdi is busy managing the affairs of the house, and the peach girl is waiting for Yu Liangdi, so the prince sent the little one to pass the word." ”
Yu Liangdi is favored, and Rong Qi respects Xiao Shi a hundred times more than others.
Xiao Shi smiled, "When is the marriage?" ”
Rong Qi replied: "I don't know this little one, my wife just asked Master Mu, and the small one is to pass a message in advance, so that my wife can prepare first, after all, the dowry is cumbersome, and it is not a matter of a moment." ”
"Thank you Seventh Master Rong, this hot day made you still run around, in fact, the master came back and said the same." Xiao Shi smiled.
"Yu Liangdi said, I was afraid that Master Mu wouldn't understand, so I sent the little one to pass the word." Rong Qi said with a smile.
Where is the fear that the master will not understand, it is clearly afraid that the Xiao family will not take the master's words seriously, and will prepare a dowry for Lingrong that looks glorious but is actually shabby.
Lingrong's marriage is related to the prince's plan, and the prince can't let Xiao mess things up because of her woman's heart, so he sent Rong Qi to give special advice.
Xiao Shi understood what Rong Qi said, and smiled.
Seeing Xiao Shi like this, he knew that she understood the meaning, and Rong Qi didn't say more, "Mrs. is busy, the little one will leave first, and the prince is still waiting for the little one to do something." Rong Qi said, called a thousand and left.
Xiao Shi hurriedly asked the little guy waiting at the door to send it out.
Rong Qi left, Xiao's face pulled down, Luo's mother glanced at Xiao and said, "Madam, what about this dowry?" ”
Xiao had never intended to prepare a decent dowry for Lingrong. It's just that if a concubine marries, the family who marries must not be very good, so there is no need to bother preparing the dowry at all.
But right now, there is no way for Xiao to stop bleeding.
"Don't worry, I'll talk about it when the master comes back." Xiao pondered for a moment and said.
"What if the master wants to take Yangyuan Village as a dowry for the second lady?" Luo's mother was worried.
Yangyuanzhuang is one of the old lady's wedding Zhuangzi, the old lady spoke back then, her granddaughter got married, and one accompanied a Zhuangzi. When Lingyu got married, the old lady chose the best one from the Zhuangzi for her, and now that Lingrong is married, she will definitely accompany her.
Back then, the old lady mentioned that she wanted to transfer the name of Yangyuanzhuang to Aunt Yan's name, let her take care of it, and make a dowry for Lingrong when the time came.
After all these years, the Xiao family has long emptied Yangyuan Village, and now there are only empty shelves. If the old lady really wants to accompany Yangyuanzhuang to Lingrong, then the matter of greedy ink will definitely be involved.
Xiao rubbed his temples and frowned in thought. Luo's mother brought her a cup of sour plum soup and gently placed it on the table. I sat on the embroidery pier next to me and packed my clothes.
Taking advantage of this time to find clothes for Xiao's, Luo's mother has to sort out the clothes she wore in winter, send them, refurbish them, and wear them again next winter. Summer clothes should also be tidied up, and a few new ones should be filled.
"Madam, the young master is here." A girl outside reported through the curtain.
Xiao Shi didn't speak, Mother Luo hurriedly put down the work in her hand, got up and opened the curtain, "Quickly invite Young Master Cousin in." ”
Xiao Minggeran walked in with a black face and a stiff smile, "Auntie." After saying hello to Xiao Shi, he sat down angrily, took the herbal tea handed by Luo's mother, drank it all in one gulp, and threw the cup on the table.
"What's wrong with you? Where did you get so angry in the middle of the morning, who provoked you? Xiao Shi saw that Xiao Mingger's face was full of black anger and asked.
"Don't mention it, auntie, I'm unlucky to go to grandma's house today." Xiao Mingger said, glancing out of the curtain.
Luo's mother understood and knew that he had something to say, so she sent a few girls outside to take the clothes she had just packed up to the washerwoman to wash.
When the girls in the outhouse walked in, Xiao Mingger let out a heavy sigh and said, "The little girl I hired myself found trouble with me in turn, aunt, did you say that I was unlucky." ”
Xiao Shi understood what he was talking about, and sneered in his heart, in the end, you didn't want to tell me, "What's the matter, you won't say anything when I ask you in the morning, is there something wrong with those little guys you sent?" ”
