Chapter Eighty-Eight: Is It Okay for Me to Be Her Daughter-in-law?

Just after the scene, when Minyi returned to Qiuhua Courtyard, the guests who came to add makeup were almost gone. According to the customs of Jing'anguo, when adding makeup, the female guests are not allowed to leave food in the bride's house, except for their closest relatives, so as not to take away the blessings of others.

Mrs. Jiang was concerned about her husband, who had not yet recovered at home, and after accompanying Zhihua to send away the last guest except Minyi, she pushed her away and insisted on going home.

Zhihua didn't worry about her uncle, thinking that it would be good for her aunt to go back to take care of him early, so she didn't persuade her more, and personally sent her to the gate of the hospital with Minyi.

"Auntie, can I go to your house to see you another day?" This reluctant request was not said by Zhihua, but from Minyi, who blinked her big eyes and tried her best to please her.

Mrs. Jiang was pitied by her puppy-like wet eyes, and she agreed without thinking about it: "Of course you can, but your aunt's house is not as magnificent as the princess's mansion, so you don't dislike it, so you often come to play." ”

Minyi affectionately took her arm, leaned her head on her shoulder, and smiled sweetly: "Aunt is so good." Now it's good that I have another place to escape that pesky nurturing grandma. ”

Mrs. Jiang didn't mind her little abacus at all, but appreciated her frankness more and more for what she said. "I came back from the border and brought a lot of gadgets that girls like, and when my aunt and uncle go back, I will sort out some and send them to you, so that you can relieve your boredom at home. My aunt will also cook a lot of snacks unique to the border gates, and when you come, I will cook them for you myself. ”

Minyi smiled here, and Zhihua ate it over there. The three of them spoke affectionately at the door for a long time. That's when I reluctantly said goodbye. Mrs. Jiang, who has been looking forward to having a daughter, meets Minyi, who is in love with her temperament and loves to laugh and coquettish, it is really late to see each other, and her motherhood is great. Until after the separation, she was full of preparations to send her something delicious and fun, and on the way home, she pulled her nephew Lu Yan to ask for warmth, but her own son Jiang Yunfei was left out in the cold, and he didn't bother to say a word. Jiang Yunfei was originally going to talk to his mother about what happened at the Lu family today, but he didn't find a chance to speak all the way. After returning home to see his father, he turned to worry about the result of his cousin's intercession, and the episodes of the Lu family were left behind by him. Didn't mention it again.

And here, after sending Mrs. Jiang, Minyi was trying to pull Zhihua to talk about her daughter's family. Jiang Zhu beside him reminded: "County Lord, it's noon, we should go back." Seeing Minyi's mouth pursed when she heard this, looking sullen. Zhihua knew that her stomach was not finished with bitter water. patted her hand intimately: "I'll send you to the gate, if you have anything to say, let's talk while walking." ”

Minyi turned her resentment into joy, the two held hands, deliberately slowed down, one said and one listened, and when they arrived at the gate, the depression in Minyi's heart had almost been relieved. Separation is imminent. The next time there is a chance to whisper, I don't know when it will be, Minyi looked at the two maids beside her. The two retreated to the outside of the room, leaving room for the two girlfriends to talk privately.

There were no outsiders around, so Minyi couldn't wait to lean into Zhihua's ear and whispered, "Ahua, you say, will I be your aunt's daughter-in-law?" ”

If there was a mouthful of tea in her mouth, Zhihua would have to spray it all on her face in surprise. Her apricot eyes widened, and her tongue was knotted: "You—You're not joking, are you?" Have you met my cousin? ”

"Shhhh The ears are very smart, don't let them hear them. Minyi glared at her dissatisfiedly, leaned over and bit her ear again: "Who knows if your cousin is round or flat, I want to be your aunt and daughter-in-law, what does it matter to your cousin?" ”

Zhihua couldn't cry or laugh, but she also followed her example and whispered, "If you want to be my aunt's daughter-in-law, you have to marry my cousin, why is it none of his business?" You don't even know what he looks like or what his temperament is, so you want to marry him, it's too rash, right? ”

Min Yi Zhen Zhen said, "Your aunt has a good temperament and likes me, this is a good mother-in-law who is hard to find with a lantern." As the saying goes, the male protagonist is outside, and the female protagonist is inside. After getting married, it is not the husband who gets along the most, but the mother-in-law. Instead of marrying a husband but a mother-in-law is difficult to serve, it is better to pick a ready-made good mother-in-law, anyway, men, blowing the lamp is the same. ”

Hearing these shocking words, Rao is Zhihua felt that her heartbeat was a little weak, no matter how good her concentration was. "Oh my God, what's going on in your little head! Let the eldest princess hear, I have to find you ten more nurturing grandmothers. "Whose daughter chooses a husband, not from the family background, appearance, talent, but to make a decision, she is good, she doesn't look at anything but her mother-in-law. Zhihua really hated to split her little head to see what was inside.

"I know, that's why I don't dare let those two maids hear it." Minyi didn't think there was anything wrong with her, but seeing that Zhihua still didn't agree, she thought about it and began to persuade the other party from another angle. "Okay, let's not talk about your aunt, let's talk about your cousin. Your uncle is a military general, and your cousin has also been on the battlefield, right? ”

Zhihua nodded.

"Look at your aunt's appearance again, although she is not delicate and feminine, but she is not ugly, compared to other noblewomen in Beijing, she has a heroic spirit, right?"

Can Zhihua shake her head? Of course not.

"It is said that nephew Uncle Xiao, looking at Lu Yan's appearance, your uncle will not be far worse if he wants to. With such a pair of parents, no matter how good-looking your cousin is, he won't be reduced to crooked melons and cracked dates, right? ”

"My cousin is not crooked melons and cracked dates, but very handsome and sunny." Now Zhihua stopped nodding, and couldn't help but open her mouth to defend her cousin.

"That's right. Your cousin is sunny and cheerful, handsome, he has been on the battlefield and is not a weak scholar, plus he has such a good mother, you say, is it normal for me to marry him? ”

Zhihua was dumbfounded by these words, and after thinking about it, she found a reason to refute: "But my uncle has lost his official position now, although my cousin is lucky not to become a criminal minister, but he is also a white body, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess loves you again, I'm afraid you won't agree to this family business." ”

"That's why I'm secretly consulting with you, or I'll just go and tell my mother directly." Minyi rolled her eyes, feeling that her friend's always clever head had become a little stupid.

"I can't come up with an idea about this, I see, you better talk to Her Royal Highness the princess honestly, as long as you make up your mind, Your Highness can't resist you, and it is unknown whether you will nod and agree in the end." It's not that Zhihua is perfunctory, but that her identity is embarrassing in this matter, and it's not good, the eldest princess thinks that she instigated Minyi, so it is even more impossible to agree to this family business.

"County Lord, can you go back? Her Royal Highness is still waiting for you to have lunch at home. Jiangzhu was in Cui again, and Minyi had to throw down a sentence unwillingly, "I'll write to you again when I go back." "Say goodbye and leave.

Sending Minyi away with a headache, Zhihua's mind was still echoing the conversation just now, and she didn't know if it would be a blessing or a curse for her friend to continue messing around like this. Because of her concerns, she lost her appetite after two mouthfuls of food hastily for lunch, and even in the afternoon, the rest of the Lu family's younger sisters came over to add makeup, and she was a little absent-minded to deal with it. is also a concubine, Zhixiang and Zhi'an sent embroidery embroidered by themselves, and they are not outstanding. He was more generous, and what he gave was nothing more than some gold and silver jewelry. After Zhihua accepted the gift, she said a few words and sent them away. Just as I was thinking about staying quiet for a while, there was a commotion outside the courtyard gate again.

Zhihua was in the boudoir and didn't go out to check it in person, but she vaguely heard Aunt Zhou's sharp voice, combined with the episode that Minyi brought out for Hongsilk before, she could think with her toes that she was here for Lu Zhiqian.

To this day, there is no need to work for such a trivial matter as sending Aunt Zhou, and Zhihua called Han's mother to deal with it, and it didn't take long for her to calm down.

It turned out that after Lu Zhiqian was mentioned to Lu Zhenyuan by Jiangzhu, it was not surprising that he was furious, and invited the family law in front of Jiangzhu, and after slapping her palms twenty times, she was punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days. This really crushed Aunt Zhou's heart. The old lady closed the door and thanked no one, and she didn't dare to touch the old man's head who was still angry, so she begged the eldest lady, but it was in vain except to be seen as a joke. In desperation, he hit the idea to the eldest lady who will leave the cabinet tomorrow. In her opinion, her daughter's unjustified disaster today is all because Zhihua invited the county lord, the plague god, if she kneels at the door of Qiuhua Courtyard to plead, she can't ignore the other party. Otherwise, if it really makes a big fuss, and before marrying into the high gate, he has a reputation for not thinking about brotherhood, Zhihua will definitely take care of this.

I never thought that she was crying and kneeling at the gate of Qiuhua Courtyard, and she didn't see the main owner after making a cup of tea. Instead, a subordinate came out and said a word casually, and she had to honestly put away the script and go back to her own courtyard in a gloomy manner.

What did your mother say? Without it, it's just a simple sentence: "My aunt only cares about the small ones, and she forgets the big ones?" (To be continued.) )
