Chapter 24: Embarrassment of brother-in-law
As soon as Fang Shiqian died, Linglong breathed a long sigh of relief, and it felt good to be free, but she seemed to be the only one happy in the house, and after that day, my father had a gloomy face and didn't speak for many days, and my mother always looked sad.
Lingdextrous looked at her comfortable appearance, and said angrily: "You have no conscience, you see how your father and mother are worried about your family, are you still in the mood to laugh?" ”
"Eldest sister, you should also know how Fang Shiqian died, right? He hired him with fifty taels of tattered silver, and waited for my dowry to fill his shortfall of ten thousand taels, wouldn't that cost me my life? Does my sister also think that fame is more important than my life? ”
"Of course not, it's just ...... That one...... Alas, I can't say it well, I can only say that our Su family has had bad luck recently. ”
"Alas, I have figured it out, I don't want to get married in my life, if my parents don't dislike me, I will stay at home, if I think I have ruined their reputation, I will move out and set up my own business."
Dexterous was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time: "Silly girl, what are you thinking?" Neither father nor mother would agree to it. Sister, or the Tian family's ......."
"Don't, eldest sister, don't tell me this, the father of the Tian family has already re-sent the marriage letter to the past, and the Tian family knows that it is you who married you, not me. By the way, eldest sister, your wedding date is in March, right? It hasn't been long since your dowry is embroidered? ”
Dexterous and shy, he blushed: "The clothes are almost there, and the hijab is almost there." ”
Looking at Lingqiao's delicate appearance, Linglong's heart itched: "Eldest sister, your brother-in-law must like it very much, if your brother-in-law is good, you have to catch him well and live a good life for the rest of your life." ”
After Fang Shiqian's death, Linglong and the Fang family's relatives naturally did not count, the Fang family was weak, and they did not dare to play as arrogant as the Hou Mansion, so his father sent the Fang family's dowry back, and sent an extra hundred taels of silver as a condolence, and the Fang family was very grateful, and immediately returned the marriage letter.
Of course, after this incident, the rumors that had gradually dissipated inevitably flourished for a while.
The third day of the third month of March is the day when the eldest sister is dexterously married, and the Tian family who is dexterously married also belongs to Jiangzhou, but it is more than 100 miles away from Jiangzhou City, so it is necessary to go out one day in advance, take a sedan chair to Wubao City, where Tian's house is located, to rest for one night, and only officially enter the door the next day.
Therefore, the Tian family came on the first day of the first month of March, knowing that the Tian family was going to pick up people at noon, Linglong went to talk to his sister early in the morning, and there were a lot of people in the room who helped his sister comb her hair, put on makeup, and change clothes.
"Sister, have you seen your brother-in-law?"
"Nope."
"And what kind of person do you want your brother-in-law to be?"
Lingdexterity blushed and thought for a while: "As long as ...... Just be nice to me. ”
"What's a good idea?"
"This ...... I don't know. ”
"Sister, you want him to be good to you, you have to be good to her, don't believe those words who help him marry a virtuous concubine for the sake of the heir, don't kick him out of the door if he is pregnant, can't give him the slightest chance to go to someone else's bed, once a man is distracted, how good can he be to you?
You see, our father, is it okay with my mother? But there are still aunts in the house, and the aunts also count on their fathers to be good to them, there is only one father, and they have to share so many women and children, no matter how good the feelings are, they are a little weaker.
So sister, you listen to me, even if you have the reputation of a jealous woman, don't give up your brother-in-law for the sake of a virtuous reputation, remember? ”
Linglong looked at Linglong in surprise: "You girl, where did you hear this?" You look like you've been married? ”
"Haven't I just been married? Sister must listen to me, what I said is for my sister's goodness. Maybe this goodbye, we will have fewer opportunities to meet in the future, and my sister can't help my sister, but I hope my sister is doing well. ”
Linglong said seriously without half a joke, Linglong's heart was sour, thinking that her sister had fallen to this point today because of herself, she felt guilty and sad, she took Linglong's hand and said with tears in her eyes: "Sister, sister is sorry for you." ”
"Silly sister, what did you say? If you are worthy of me, I will live a good life, and the more prosperous your life is, the more I will feel at ease. ”
Lingdexterity bit her lip and nodded vigorously: "Okay, sister listens to you, listens to you for everything, and you have to take care of yourself." ”
The mother pushed the door in, seeing the tears of the two, she was also a little sad, and sat next to Lingqiao and gave a lot of instructions, Linglong didn't want to see them crying, I heard that my brother-in-law had come, and I was blocked by everyone at the door to ask for red envelopes, so I hurried to the door to join in the fun.
Linglong squeezed out of the crowd and finally saw his brother-in-law Tian Wusheng sitting on a tall horse. He is dignified, sturdy and straight, with a hearty and handsome laugh, and he looks like a bold person. This kind of person is best to get along with, and it complements the dexterity, and I think they will live well.
Tian Wusheng was teased by everyone for a while, he was not in a hurry to scatter money when he should scatter money, and sprinkled sugar when he should sprinkle sugar, he was very generous and happy.
Linglong leaned in and said, "Brother-in-law, my beautiful sister is married to you, what are you going to do with her?" ”
Tian Wusheng was stunned for a moment, touched his head and laughed dryly: "Of course treat her." ”
"What's a good idea?"
"Hey, this ...... Put her at home and do nothing, just give me a baby and see my son. ”
The people around laughed, and Linglong also laughed, this guy is really a reckless man, I don't know how Linglong feels when he listens to it?
"That's not enough."
"That'...... So what? ”
"You can only be good to my eldest sister in the future, you are not allowed to take concubines, you are not allowed to be good to other women, you have to take care of my sister's money and property, you have to help her get angry when my sister is bullied, you have to comfort her when my sister is uncomfortable, my sister beats you and scolds you, you are not allowed to fight back, you have to provide for my sister well, love her, love her and protect her, this is really good, can you do it?"
Tian Wusheng was a little dumbfounded, Linglong said such a long list he didn't hear too clearly, anyway, it meant that he wanted him to offer the lady as a bodhisattva, but I married a lady not a bodhisattva, who would dare to move? How can you have a baby if you don't move?
Tian Wusheng was a little entangled, and the surrounding guests were a little dumbfounded when they heard Linglong's request, the request of the second young lady was not very reasonable, who said that if you marry a daughter-in-law, you can't take a concubine? Who said that a lady can still beat and scold her husband? Isn't it upside down?
After everyone was silent for a while, they exchanged their heads and talked about each other, pointing at Linglong, and the words were naturally not good. However, there are also those who support Linglong, most of these are young women who are not married, which woman doesn't want to have such a husband?
The mother who got the news hurriedly came out of it and pulled Linglong: "Dead girl, you're causing trouble again, go in quickly." ”
Linglong didn't move, looked at Tian Wusheng and said, "Hey, brother-in-law, do you agree or not?" ”
Tian Wusheng thought for a while: "That...... Except for turning off the lights and going to bed at night, I usually make offerings to her as a bodhisattva, right? ”
Everyone was silent for a moment and there was a burst of laughter, this answer made Linglong cry and laugh, why did she feel that she couldn't communicate with this brother-in-law? Anyway, as long as he agrees, he can rest assured that he will hand over his sister to him.
