Chapter 67: The Attitude of the Elders
"I didn't ...... No, don't get me wrong, miss! ”
"Really? That's good. Gui Ying, how about taking a look at this painting for me? What's wrong? ”
Gui Ying glanced at it, needless to say that the person on the painting was his own eldest son, but compared to the second son's one, it didn't feel so expressive, Gui Ying told the truth, Linglong nodded again and again:
"Also, Brother Liang is a gentle and humble gentleman, I really want to paint him more expressively, but I always can't, maybe my painting skills are not enough, and I need to hone my reads;. Gui Ying, go get me some rice paper, and I'll draw two more. ”
"Miss, it's not early, take a rest!"
"Miss? Miss, where are you? Suddenly there was a sound of painting outside the door, and Linglong put down the drawing paper and walked out quickly:
"Zhihua, why did you come to the mansion? My mother? ”
"Miss, Madame is on the old lady's side, please come over quickly!"
"Huh? Where is it? ”
"In the old lady's yard! In the middle of the afternoon, the house here sent someone to invite, Mrs. was not in good health and didn't want to come, but the people in the house were in a hurry, and they came to invite five or six times in a row, and Mrs. had to drag the sick body over! ”
"Really? Who sent it? Do you know what's going on? ”
"I heard that it was someone sent by the old lady, and the slaves and maids inquired, but they all kept it secretive, but they didn't say anything."
Linglong lowered her eyebrows and thought about it, she stayed in the yard all day today, and she didn't go out to make trouble, could it be that the old witch wanted to find trouble again?
"Mother Wu, have you heard that there is something going on in the house today?"
Mother Wu shook her head: "I haven't heard of it, the slave maid also went to the big kitchen to get firewood and rice at noon, and it was as usual!" ”
Linglong couldn't figure out why the old lady was suddenly in a hurry to invite her mother over? Isn't she the last thing to see our family? It's weird!
"Zhihua, Gui Ying. Let's go, let's see. ”
Linglong took the two of them and hurried to the direction of the old lady's courtyard.
When I was about to get to the place, I saw two maids helping one person to walk out slowly, and if I looked carefully, wasn't the person being helped by Lingxuan? What's even more surprising is that she is crying and wiping her tears.
Hey, it's really strange today, this Lingxuan girl usually walks sideways with her nostrils facing the sky. I didn't expect to see her wipe her tears one day in Su Mansion!
Linglong was a little gloating in his heart. But wouldn't be stupid enough to ask her why she was sad, isn't that asking for trouble? So she silently stepped aside and waited for Lingxuan to pass before leaving.
Lingxuan's eyes were red and swollen, and she sniffed as she walked. The voice was crying: "Why? I am the eldest daughter of the Su family, didn't my grandmother help me get engaged? Why did you suddenly change people at the end, or that... That ......"
As soon as Lingxuan raised her eyes, she saw Linglong, who was originally spurging and soft, and her eyes turned red as if she had suddenly been hit with chicken blood. She pushed away the two maids who were holding her, and rushed towards Linglong angrily:
"You shameless stinky woman. How dare you rob me! Why are you? What do you want, a country girl, why are you? Say, why are you? ”
Lingxuan yelled hysterically. even rushed up and grabbed Linglong's clothes, and the pointed nails went straight to Linglong's door. Linglong didn't react for a moment, and her cheek was scratched by her fingernails. Fortunately, Gui Ying's hands and feet were nimble, and she pulled Linglong away and clamped Lingxuan's wrist.
Lingxuan was even more furious. While scolding, she desperately grabbed Gui Ying, if it weren't for Gui Ying's kung fu, it would be inevitable that she would be beaten on the ground, not to mention that she had two big girls to help.
Linglong came back to his senses, and saw that Lingxuan's two maids were hanging on Gui Ying's arms so that she couldn't move, and Lingxuan suddenly went crazy like a mad dog, and Gui Ying would suffer if she continued like this.
"Knowing the painting, on!"
Zhihua didn't say a word, rushed up and pinched Lingxuan's maid, and it was much easier to tear apart one Gui Ying to deal with the other two.
Linglong rolled up his sleeves and stood aside, afraid that he Gui Ying and Zhihua would fall behind, so he rushed up to help.
"Stop!" The sudden scolding behind him made several people stop, Linglong looked back, and saw that his grandfather and uncle came out at some point, and the two of them strode over with straight faces.
The uncle was very surprised to see Lingxuan who was messy, and he was even more surprised to see her hanging on Gui Ying, he walked a few steps quickly to pull Lingxuan away, and pushed Gui Ying away with his hand, even if Gui Ying had kung fu, he was pushed by him and almost fell down.
"Lingxuan, what's the matter with you? Look at yourself and what do you think? ”
When Lingxuan saw her elders, she began to cry again:
"Father, grandfather, you came just in time, this woman, this shameless stinky woman, I don't know what he did, grandma went to Liang's house for me in the morning to say goodbye, but there was an inexplicable extra painting, then Mrs. Liang decided that she didn't want me!
Father and grandfather, you have to make decisions for me! Otherwise...... Otherwise, Xuan'er will have no face to live! Woo woo woo ~ ~~ "
Lingxuan threw herself into her uncle's arms and cried, Old Man Su and Uncle Su Bingquan hadn't understood the original song of the matter, and Linglong's eyes widened in surprise:
"What do you say? What is more than a painting? Who does Mrs. Liang want? ”
Lingxuan raised her head and glared at her angrily: "You don't get cheap here and sell well, you don't know what you do yourself?" ”
"What am I doing?"
"You...... Father, grandfather, you have to make the decision for me, woo woo woo ~~~"
Old Man Su and Su Bingquan were also confused, the two looked at each other, and Old Man Su said:
"Okay, don't cry, what does a lady look like when she fights with two maids? Boss, you send Xuan'er back first, I'll go to your mother's yard to see what's going on? ”
The old man bypassed them and walked forward, Linglong's mind turned, the old man is gone, the uncle will definitely not help me, and I will suffer when the time comes, so she hurriedly pulled Zhihua and Gui Ying, and hurriedly chased the old man's steps and left.
Lingxuan shouted unwillingly: "Su Linglong, you shameless little slut, you stop for me." ”
Zhihua looked back, Linglong dragged her away, Su Lingxuan is now like a mad dog, who bites whom, what do you care about her? The key is that Linglong has a bunch of questions in her heart, she wants to go with the old man to see what is going on?
They almost followed the old lady's living room at the feet of the old man.
Yo! There are so many people, the huge living room is full of people, not only the masters from the top and bottom of the Su Mansion have arrived, but there are also a few old ladies who have never seen before, and Grandma Zhang is also among them.
It's just that the atmosphere is a little weird, looking at Aunt Zhu's crying and crying is really ugly, the old lady also has a gloomy face, and the other people have different expressions, some are gloating, some are secretly disgusted, some are flattering, and some are worried, such as Grandma Zhang, she secretly winked at Linglong, and she didn't know what it meant?
Linglong swept around, and soon found his mother Song, Song beckoned to her, and there seemed to be a little joy in her eyes?
Lighted? Yes, she was not mistaken, my aunt was still crying, and I don't know where my mother's joy came from? Linglong silently moved to Song's side and asked softly, "Mother, how is your health?" ”
Song just smiled and nodded, and didn't speak, just glanced at her and motioned for her not to talk either.
The old man walked up and sat down: "Madam, what the hell is going on?" ”
The old lady didn't say a word with a straight face, just handed over a big red post, the old man looked at her suspiciously, opened the post and hurriedly swept it, his complexion immediately changed, blinked and looked carefully:
"Ma'am, this ...... Is this the second son of Liang? ”
The old lady nodded lightly, and the old man frowned slightly suspiciously: "Why Linglong and not Lingxuan?" ”
The old lady glanced at Linglong coldly, "You ask herself." ”
The old man's gaze turned a few times between the post and Linglong, and after a while, he gradually became happy: "It's okay, whether it's Lingxuan or Linglong, it is a great joy for my Su family to be able to marry the Liang Mansion, a happy event!" ”
Zhu wiped his tears and stood up: "Old lady, my Xuan'er is the eldest daughter, this family can't be ordered like this!" ”
The old man glanced at her and put down the post: "That's what I said, but the marriage book is written on Linglong, didn't you go to the Liang Mansion this morning, why didn't you say it at that time?" ”
"I said it, but my mother ...... She ......"
The old lady frowned and was extremely unhappy: "What's wrong with me?" This matter was ordered by Mrs. Liang, what can I do? ”
"Mother, the marriage is a big event, the words of the matchmaker of your parents' order, you have a deep friendship with Mrs. Liang, but you never say half a good word for Xuan'er, if you say a little more, the result is not like this......"
The old lady was so angry that she slapped the table hard: "What? In the end, do you blame my wife for being nosy? Okay, I don't care about your business, how to go and how to go, don't bother me with these things in the future! ”
Zhu was suppressed by the old lady's momentum, although he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't dare to say more, he could only wipe his tears silently, and scolded the Linglong family thousands of times in his heart.
The old man coughed and cleared his throat: "Eldest daughter-in-law, since this matter is the master of Mrs. Liang, it is no wonder that others can only say that Lingxuan girl is not so blessed." The old man saw her fighting with the two maids at the gate of the courtyard, and yelled again, as my Miss Su Jiayan, such words and deeds really shouldn't be, you go back first, teach her well! ”
Zhu's crying stopped for a while, and she could hear that the old man meant to drive people out.
She was even more angry in her heart, but everyone helped the slut's family, and it was useless to stay here, and she was worried about Lingxuan, so she let the maid support her, wiped her tears and left with resentment.
The hall fell silent, and everyone watched Zhu leave slowly, until she walked out of the courtyard gate, Grandma Zhang smiled and said, "Brother Qichang, congratulations!" If Linglong is fortunate enough to join the Guogong Mansion, our Su family and the Liang family will also be considered in-laws in the future! ”
"Yes, yes, it's a great event! Congratulations! Several old ladies beside Grandma Zhang echoed.
The old man nodded with a smile:
"It's really a great joy, there are many people coveted in the Beijing of the Guogong Mansion, but I didn't expect that Linglong was finally selected. Linglong girl, come here. (To be continued)
