Ninety-ninth round

In the first few months of Lin De's twenty-first year, the most concerned thing in the entire capital was the marriage of the two royal highnesses, King Yingchuan and King Linchuan, except for the draft of the Son of Heaven. But for the people in An Yuanbo's mansion, everyone is more concerned about the marriage of the cousin who lives in their mansion.

Seeing that this is the end of the New Year, the family that originally said that they would come to the door to propose marriage when Zhou Caiwei and her party have passed the ceremony has not yet come, and some people in this house have started to talk about it.

Wu Wan remembered that Yi Fei said last year that Cai Wei was divorced by Zeng Tanhua, and at that time she thought that Yi Fei was talking nonsense again, but now that she thinks about it, she believes it a little, so she asked Cai Wei quietly and quietly.

This kind of thing, how could Cai Wei tell her the truth, so she smiled and said, "Do you believe what the five girls said from their mouths?" Let me tell you the truth, the family who married me was not the Zeng family, and I thought that there was some change in that family's family, so I couldn't come over in time. I'm not in a hurry, I want to say, it's better to be a girl, and I'll get married and have all kinds of troubles! ”

Wu Wanke disagreed with her words, "Who said it's bad to marry?" Yizhi and Yifang had a bad life after marriage, that is, they were unladylike, if they met someone who was agreeable, then the life would only be like honey and oil, how could it be bad? You see how moisturizing Yihui is! ”

She changed her words and said: "I said Sister Wei, we have lived in the same courtyard for so many years, and the relationship between sisters is excellent, but it is the closest, are you still unwilling to tell the truth to your sister?" What's the matter if you are withdrawn, the old ones don't go, the new ones don't come, and the flowers are amazing? Sister, if you really lose such a family business, don't worry, sister has another good family business waiting for you here! ”

Seeing her so direct, Cai Wei said helplessly: "Good sister, let's do needlework seriously, don't make fun of me!" If someone hears it, they want to laugh at us! ”

Wu Wan said nonchalantly: "There are our maids and daughters-in-law inside and outside this house, what is there to be afraid of?" I told you clearly today, and you also gave me the truth, and you said, how is my brother Wu Chong? In terms of physiognomy and talent, which one is not as good as others, but it is just a little less lucky, so I didn't succeed in high school, and I can't say that the next spring is up, my brother is the top champion? ”

"Our two families are cousins again, a cousin and a cousin, who know the roots, if they kiss and kiss again, how good would it be? Besides, we all live in this house, and we have all suffered from this kind of parasitic fence and relying on people's snorts, and when you get married, my mother, my brother and I will never dislike you as an orphan girl and be helpless, but I will only feel sorry for you and treat you better, but it is not better than you marrying someone who is not familiar with other people? ”

Cai Wei smiled and twisted her face, and said: "We have lived together for so long, how did I not know that Sister Wan has such a good eloquence, it is like the reincarnation of the matchmaker, I know that my sister is for my good, but my sister should not patronize my cousin, but neglect her own brother." Cousin Wu has a cousin in his heart, but it's not me, but—"

After all, Yifang is now married to a wife, and for the sake of her reputation, Cai Wei is not good at saying her name again, anyway, she knows that Wu Wan must also know who the "cousin" she didn't say is.

The smile on Wu Wan's face suddenly disappeared, and she twisted her handkerchief and said, "Okay, what do you mention her, she is already from the Chen Shangshu family, and it's useless for my brother to worry about her anymore!" ”

"It's so easy to take her off again! So Sister Wan should stop making jokes about me and Cousin Wu! ”

Wu Wan was aroused by her exclamation, thinking of her cousin Zhang Yun, who she had been in love with for several years, she was also sad for a while, and forgot to persuade Cai Wei to agree to marry her brother.

Seeing that there was no movement in the house, Zhao Mingxiang, the second aunt's wife who was hiding outside and eavesdropping, suddenly became a little anxious, and complained in her heart why her daughter didn't continue to say, what are the two of them doing quietly inside?

Since listening to Wu Wan say what Yifei said about Cai Wei last year, the second aunt's wife has started this calculation in her heart, thinking that if Cai Wei is really divorced, wouldn't it be right to give it to her son Wu Chong.

With the current situation of their Wu family, they have no wealth and no power, Wu Chong has no courage to win the top prize in one fell swoop, and wants to ask for a rich and powerful daughter-in-law, it is simply a pipe dream, it is better to marry Zhou Caiwei into the door, but this girl has a dowry of 60,000 taels of silver, at least she has a head.

And she is an orphan girl, without relatives and no support, when the time comes, she will definitely be respectful and obedient to her mother-in-law, and she will be comfortable and filial to herself. Wouldn't it be much better than marrying those delicate ladies from wealthy families and suppressing the mother-in-law.

This matter has been thinking about this matter in the second aunt's heart for several months, and after the New Year, she saw that no one had come to the door to propose marriage to Cai Wei, and she had more confidence in her heart that Cai Wei had been divorced, so she asked her daughter to go to Cai Wei first, as long as she agreed, she immediately went to tell the old lady that it was good to do this matter first.

At this time, seeing that her daughter suddenly stopped persuading Cai Wei, she was in a hurry, so she simply lifted the curtain and walked in and said, "Wei girl, I heard what you just said, auntie." Aunt also told you the truth, don't blame Sister Wan for saying these things to you, I asked her to ask you what you mean first. ”

"In the past few years, my aunt has watched you grow up, and she loves your appearance and character as if she is in love with you in her heart! I have long thought in my heart, if you don't get married, you and our family Wu Chong are really a match made in heaven, and there is no better match than you in this world. I think you know a lot of things in the house these days, and you also tell the truth to your aunt, were you divorced by the Zeng family? ”

She saw Cai Wei blushing slightly and bowing her head and not answering, and said in her heart that she was afraid that this daughter's face was tender and embarrassed to speak, so she said again: "Okay, okay, that is, you were not divorced, you see that you were the daughter of September last year, and it has been almost seven months since this time, if the family really wants to marry you, it is far away from the Tianshan Mountain, and it should be rushed over, so it can be seen that the family has not taken this family affair with you to heart at all." ”

"If you keep waiting like this, what if they don't come? This girl's youth is very precious, and it must not be delayed, besides, even if they come, but they are so late, you are married to someone else, and they have nothing to say. ”

"Good boy, you see that your aunt has said so much to you, and you can also tell your aunt the truth! Auntie can tell you, your family affairs can no longer be delayed, aunt can hear that the fifth girl in the fourth room, Yifei, is asking my fourth brother to go to the old lady to talk to the old lady, so that she can match you to her brother Zhao Yimeng! ”

"If the old lady agrees, aren't you like falling into the fire? My son Wu Chong, no matter what, is a thousand times better than the lame son Zhao Yimeng! You've got to make up your mind early, and you've got to get ahead of them. ”

The second aunt's wife said so much in one go, so that Zhou Caiwei didn't even have the time to interject and pick up the words, so it was easy for her to finally stop and take a breath, Caiwei hurriedly said: "Auntie, Aunt Lao is worried about me, but my father has indeed set up a family affair for me a long time ago, and these words said by my aunt are really not good to talk to my girl's family!" Thinking that my aunt must have something to say to Sister Wan, my niece will go back first without bothering. ”

The second aunt looked at Cai Wei's back in a hurry, and couldn't help but scold, "It's really that three sticks can't beat a fart, I was kind enough to talk to her so much, and she didn't say a word accurately, really!" ”

Wu Wan poured herself a cup of tea and said, "Cousin Wei's words are not wrong, these words are indeed not good to talk to her, besides, she is an orphan daughter with no father and mother, just talk to her, what can she do by herself?" According to me, my mother might as well go and tell my grandmother about it, and what to do will be in vain! Beware of being snatched by my fourth uncle. ”

The second aunt snatched the tea bowl from her daughter's hand, took a sip first, and said, "Didn't I think it would be safer to hear from her that she had a letter of resignation, and then mention her family affairs?" Save yourself some other troubles in the future. From her maids-in-law, she couldn't ask anything, she thought that her girl's face was tender, and she was always good at prying, but she didn't want to, she was also a gourd with a sullen mouth! ”

Wu Wan sneered and laughed: "How did the mother tell her, and what else did she say is that it's okay to go back and come to the door with her family!" Why are you afraid of trouble again? ”

"Didn't I try to calm her heart first, so that I could take her words? But after wasting this half a day, the girl just refused to tell the truth. ”

Wu Wan said: "If this is for me, I will definitely not say it, is it a shameful thing to be divorced?" Which girl's family would tell others about this lightly, not to mention that Cousin Wei is cautious, so she won't tell us? In fact, the more she refused to say it, the more she was afraid that she would be withdrawn from the marriage, the more certain it would be, otherwise why did she only say that she was married, but she couldn't tell which family she was destined for? My mother just went to tell my grandmother, as long as my grandmother agreed, what else could she say, and she would definitely follow the boat! ”

The second aunt and wife pondered for a while, and also felt that what her daughter said made some sense, so she said: "Mother will listen to you once, without further ado, I will tell the old lady about this." ”

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly changed her clothes and left the courtyard. Loquat was standing under the eaves and laughing with the two bananas, and when she saw her hurriedly walking out, she remembered what her girl had commanded, so she hurriedly went into the inner room and said, "Girl, my aunt really went out, or changed into a good dress and went out, it's getting late, what is she going out for?" ”

As soon as Cai Wei heard this, she knew what her second aunt was doing, sighed, and ordered, "Let's all go to bed early tonight!" I'm afraid that Ming'er will see my grandmother early in the morning, and her old man will ask me something, and I will go back to her old man's house when I go to bed early. ”
