Chapter 14: Looking at each other
Since the head of the family has agreed, then naturally we have to hurry up, and there are also Nacai, ask for names, Najib, Naji, recruitment, invitation, and six ceremonies, there are many things, and the best age of the girl's family is only two years, and it is not easy to find a good person if it is late.
Mrs. Ji sent a letter to her mother's house, and Mrs. Liu received the Geng post and discussed it with her master.
"Ye'er followed you into the barracks, this is eighteen, the girl hasn't said the last one, other people's brothers said at the age of sixteen or seventeen that they would marry their wives, and they can let their parents hold their grandchildren soon, but in the end you delay the children." Mrs. Liu complained.
"Why is it sad that men are old, since ancient times, they should be famous first, and only when there is a country can there be a home, you will not understand a woman." In Liu Dutong's eyes, as long as he becomes a general, why worry about not having a girl.
Mrs. Liu's father was a subordinate of the mighty general, and he followed him to march and fight for many years. But knowing her son and mother, how can there be a mother who doesn't care about her children, and no matter how hard her temperament is, her son's marriage will be soft.
"This Ji family is a good family, I have also seen Mrs. Ji, she is a member of the council, and she has a good temperament, not to mention this old lady Ji, she is your aunt, everything must be considered for the mother's family, her granddaughter must be no worse, I think I can go and see." Although Liu Dutong is a good product, but a military attachΓ©, it is a grade worse than a civil official, so the grade of the imperial doctor should also be worthy, and the second girl Ji is the eldest daughter of the Ji family, and she can be in charge of the family if she marries, and this condition is really not picky.
Liu Dutong said: "The girl is a good girl, and I don't have to doubt the person taught by my aunt, but this Ji Yihuai has never moved around with us, and in the final analysis, he still doesn't look down on us to practice martial arts, he and Nie Chengxiang are well-known in the party, but this time he suddenly agreed to marry us, and it is definitely not a simple one." β
Mrs. Liu didn't follow it": What do you have to do with your children in officialdom, Brother Ye has been delayed by you for two years, and you still only care about your own officialdom. I think this girl from the Ji family is a good one, it's rare to have someone who knows the roots, and if she marries her, she is a member of our Liu family, and if she can't succeed, she will definitely have to go and see it. As soon as you enter the barracks, it doesn't matter, and I worry about my son every day. "Mrs. Liu is a person who will come and say anything, since she was a child, there are no rules for women and squeamish ladies in the military general's family, they are all treated like boys, Mrs. Liu naturally says whatever she wants, and feels that those who are submissive are not her style.
Don't look at Liu Dutong, a leader of the army, he is righteous and masculine outside, but he is afraid of the inside, and he can't help it when he meets the woman in the house, otherwise how to be obedient and close only married to the Zhao family and gave birth to two sons-in-law.
Zhao replied to Mrs. Ji, saying that he had not visited his aunt for a long time, and brought two brothers, Ziye and Zimo, to come over, and chose to set off on August 20, and was delayed for a day on the way, and should have arrived at the house on August 21. and condolences to Mrs. Ji's body.
Although the Zhao family said that they came to visit Mrs. Ji, they actually came to see the girl of the Ji family. Because the family affairs have not really been decided, it is not certain whether it will be successful or not, and if it is not spread, it will not be good for the girl's reputation, so he found an excuse and brought his two sons to visit Mrs. Ji, and the two families understood it. The Liu family brought their two sons over to cover up people's eyes, so it seems logical. Liu Ergongzi is only fourteen, and there are still two years left, so there is no need to worry about it so early.
As soon as the letter from the Liu family came, the Ji Mansion began to get busy, and the outer courtyard room must be sorted out two for the two brothers, Mrs. Liu lived together in the inner courtyard, and the Furong Garden next to the Qingzhi Pavilion was empty, elegant and quiet, and the environment was good. The house must be cleaned inside and out, and the bed and sleeping decorations should be set by Mrs. Ji herself, which is a matter of face and must not be sloppy.
In addition to the lobby and courtyard being carefully cleaned, the flowers and plants in the yard have also been carefully repaired.
Mrs. Ji specially ordered someone to cut three new clothes for Miss Ji, all of which were good materials, bright colors, and a set of good red heads.
The girls outside were busy and in full swing, the second girl talked to the seventh girl every day, and talked about some of them, Ying Ning knew that the second sister must not be calm in her heart, and the fifth sister and the sixth sister also went to Liuyunxuan from time to time to find the two girls to laugh, everything was nervous and expected.
In the Qingzhi Pavilion, Jingzhu couldn't sit still.
The grandson of the general, the eldest son of the governor, is a general at a young age, Jingzhu can't envy it, she has always boasted of being high, and she feels that she is not inferior to the Ji family girl, and now she is really jealous that the second girl of the Ji family is here.
On the 21st, Mrs. Ji sent someone to wait in the gatehouse early.
The second sister went to the seventh sister's Liuyunxuan early.
"Seventh sister, do you think this dress will cost some? Is this tiara a bit overbearing? I like this bracelet ......."
Seeing the second sister like this, Ying Ning laughed out loud, ": This one is worn on my sister, there is no one more suitable, I think it is just right, this jewelry with this dress also meets today's occasion." β
She had seen the portrait of Liu Gongzi, a majestic and bloody man. Presumably he is also as dedicated as Liu Dutong. A lifetime of one-hearted people, which woman doesn't think so.
waited until noon, Mrs. Ji still had no news, the second sister didn't talk much today, and she was always restless, and she lost a mess in this game of chess.
"I'm not going to go with you, it's boring." Yingning? He put down the chess pieces and flipped through the book himself.
"Good sister, do you think they won't come? The civil and military attaches have always been at odds, will my father disagree? β
"Oh, my second sister, don't think about it so much, everyone is in a hurry, if you don't come, you won't come."
Hearing what Ying Ning said, the second sister made up her mind and set up a chess game by herself to pass the time.
When you are young, the girl came to ask again, if the girl wants to set the meal, Yingning said later, the second sister's heart is in her heart, and it is a lifelong event, so how can she eat.
Before the girl could leave, Yan Hong ran over. The second sister hurriedly got up from the couch and asked, "But my cousin is here?" β
Yan Hong smiled before she said it": Seeing that our second sister is in a hurry, it is exactly, she has already entered the inner hall and is talking to Mrs. Ji. It's only late today, and Mrs. Liu said that Mrs. Liu and the two brothers should have a good rest first, and then meet formally tomorrow at a banquet, so that the girl doesn't have to wait. β
When the second sister heard this, her face turned red, and she only said, "Yes, it's annoying that the red girl will run." When he turned around, he asked the girl to set up dinner, and she waited for a day, and her heart hung for a day, but she was hungry.
Liu Ziye and Liu Zimo, two brothers, were taken to the residence by their subordinates, entered the door, closed the door, and the two brothers chatted.
"A civil official is a civil official, this imperial historian must have made a lot of oil and water, look at this mansion everywhere exquisite," Liu Zimo sighed.
"Don't talk nonsense, in other people's territory, you are not afraid of the wall and ears. People are living finely, which is like our coarse people, who have come over to eat and sleep. β
"Yo, before you get married, you will help others talk, if your mother knows, she will not want this daughter-in-law." When Liu Dagongzi heard this, his face blushed, and only Mai's complexion-colored face could not be seen in the dim light.
Ziye has been mixed in the military aircraft camp since he was a child, and since he officially entered the military aircraft camp, he has become even more ignorant of the affairs of Kyoto, especially the affairs of the civilian family. She had never seen the girl of the Ji family, but he had heard the second son, Ling Tian, talk about it, saying that the girl of the Ji family was famous for her beauty in Kyoto. Most of the young men in the barracks are unmarried, and Ling Tian follows the deputy general outside all day long, and there are always some fresh things to talk about, and everyone laughs and laughs. He also heard from his mother that the girl of the Ji family was a good one, and he looked forward to it more and more.
After eating, Mrs. Ji accompanied Mrs. Liu to talk for a while, and then went to the old lady's room to sit down.
"After a tiring day, the wing room has been cleaned up, you can rest well tonight, and I will wash you tomorrow, and let them look at each other when the time comes, after all, it is a child's business, and they should like it." Mrs. Ji kindly took Mrs. Liu's hand and said.
"What you say is that the affairs of the children will be left to their own devices, and I will not count them. I'm really tired of you, I'm not particular, just have a place to rest, and I specially cleaned up a yard, and this trip will bring you trouble. Mrs. Liu smiled heartily, she looked like a good person, with such a mother-in-law, her life in her husband's house should not be sad, and besides, Mrs. Ji is here, she will not embarrass the second sister.
In Mrs. Ji's opinion, all this is satisfied, and Mrs. Liu only looks at the two children. As long as you are sure, the things that follow will be fast, and the one thing that is pressed in your heart will be enough.
Mrs. Liu returned to Furong Garden, the sky was already dark, the house was brightly lit, without a trace of clutter, it looked refreshing, and the outside of the house was also illuminated. Mrs. Liu couldn't get used to sleeping on the soft couch, and she couldn't sleep thinking about Brother Ye's affairs over and over again, seeing that the hour was still early, she simply sat in the courtyard and looked at the half-circle moon.
If Brother Ye'er is decided, then go through the process of six ceremonies, choose a date, get married, and get married should be three or four months later, this year is almost September, if you hurry up, you will be able to hold your grandson at the end of next year and the beginning of the year.
Mrs. Liu thought like this, and the girl suddenly came to report, saying that the girl from the cool pavilion next door came to say goodbye to Mrs.
Zhao was strange, didn't he say that he would look at each other tomorrow, why did the girl come over at this hour, Mrs. Liu didn't ask much, and hurriedly asked the girl to invite her in.
Jingzhu only said that the weather was good at night, and it was not hot, and she wanted to go to the garden for a walk, but Qian's mother didn't think much about it, and asked Ya Huang to take care of the girl.
"Jingzhu has seen Madame." Sister Zhu smiled heartily, and Zhao knew that she was the girl from Cloud City. Mrs. Ji said that she recognized Miss Jingzhu as her goddaughter, and there will be five girls at the luncheon tomorrow. When Zhao heard this, he only felt that Mrs. Ji was a kind-hearted person.
"Miss Jingzhu is so polite, why haven't you slept so late?" Zhao sat bored alone, and there was just a lack of personal speech.
"Somehow today, I couldn't sleep, so I came to the garden for a walk, and when I walked outside the Furong Garden, I saw that the lights were on inside, and I remembered that Mrs. Liu came today, and it is estimated that we have a fate, so I specially asked me to talk to Mrs. Liu." Jingzhu looked sincere.
Zhao smiled: "You are really good at talking, hurry up and sit, don't stand." Leave the customs and give Sister Zhu a cup of tea."
"Mrs. Jiangmen woman, taking the name of a maid is also so heroic and different."
"Don't make fun of me, I really can't take the name of that crepe, it's all nonsense. It's like the Ji family's maid, I can't even think of those names. β
"Mrs. Liu, you can be humble."
β¦β¦
chatted like this, and it wasn't until the end of the day, when she saw Mrs. Liu yawning, that Jingzhu got up to say goodbye. asked the maid to send Sister Zhu away, and the Zhao family returned to the house. She has a good impression of this Sister Zhu, she lost her parents and her family was ruined, but she was still so tenacious and optimistic, although she deliberately flattered her, but this had nothing to do with her.
Jingzhu went back to the yard, and she wasn't afraid that the maid would say, and she didn't do anything, did she? It's just that I went out for a walk in the garden, and I happened to meet Mrs. Liu, and I just talked about it, who could catch the mistake?
This night is destined to be unusual, just like the second girl of the Ji family.
Yingxiu changed her clothes early in the evening and went to bed, her eyes were closed, and her mind was full of embarrassing pictures of seeing each other tomorrow, and she didn't know if the son of the Liu family was not like the portrait on the portrait, what if he was ugly? If you say hello, should you call your cousin or Liu Gongzi? Yingxiu kicked the quilt tangledly, embarrassed and annoyed, pulled up the quilt and covered her head, forcing herself not to think about it again.
In Liuyun Xuan, Zitang had just blown out the lamp, and he heard the mother-in-law guarding the door knocking on the door: "Miss Zitang, can the seventh sister sleep?" The second girl is outside the door. β
Ying Ning had just squinted, and was sleepy, when she heard the mother-in-law talking outside, and asked Zitang what was the matter.
"It's the second girl who came over, I guess there's something." Zitang replied.
What can happen, it must be that the second sister can't sleep, Ying Ning is a little funny, "Then call her in." β
As soon as Yingxiu entered the house, she climbed onto Yingning's bed and said to Zitang, "Don't wait in the house tonight, I'll talk to my sister." Zitang agreed, quietly retreated and closed the door.
"I'm sleepy, let's talk about it tomorrow if I have something to say, if I don't sleep again, I'll leave a green shadow tomorrow." Ying Ning said deliberately.
The second sister is in a hurry": Good sister, don't sleep, we won't have many opportunities to sleep together in the future, I have a lot to say to you. β
"The second sister is in a hurry to get married? I haven't seen this Liu Gongzi yet. Maybe it's ugly, do you want it? β
"If that's the case, what can I do, since my parents ordered the matchmaker to say that they looked at each other, if my father had already taken a fancy to me, I would have been forced to marry."
Ying Ning knows that the second sister is concerned about chaos, and she is capable of doing everything on weekdays, but now she is at a loss when she really encounters her own major events.
"If it's a bad one, my mother would have replied a long time ago, how could she still write to Mrs. Liu? If you don't sleep again, you really need dawn. β
Yingxiu didn't want to say anything more, hugged the quilt and was turned around, thinking about it, and after a while, the sound of even breathing sounded.
