Chapter 83
Chapter 83
For his grandfather's family, Li Shaoqing has always been unimpressed, there are too few contacts, just a festival every year, greeting each other for big and small things, and they are slightly better acquainted with each other, but they are not intimate. After three years of filial piety, the relationship has faded by three points. Hearing that his father contacted his grandfather's house, Li Shaoqing was curious, so he asked people to continue to stare at it, and by the way, he flipped through the old yellow calendar that was thrown into the corner.
Speaking of Li Tuotu's choice of mate, there is still some history. The Murong family heard that it is the legacy of the previous dynasty, and the background is not lacking, and the house is also very famous, it may be a long time of struggle, and it has experienced too many disasters and twists and turns, and now, this family is becoming more and more low-key. People say that prosperity is not much prosperity, and if they say that they are not prosperous, they will not be in a single line. Although the Murong family is in decline, there are always one or two people in each generation who are so brilliant. However, these generations of outstanding people are not in their brilliant literary talents, but in their appearance. The Murong family is a beauty, and everyone knows it.
Li Kaijiang is naturally not a fool, and the Zhao family has the sunshine of being a housewife. When he chose a daughter-in-law for Li Tuotu, he not only took a fancy to the appearance of the girl of the Murong family, but also because the Murong family was a virtuous person. Besides, Zhao felt that the housewife was more beautiful and didn't say anything, which could better control her husband's heart. Moreover, she also inquired carefully, and also relied on her connections to create opportunities to contact one or two times, and she was very satisfied with such a daughter-in-law, so she settled on the Murong family. The Murong family and the Murong family are also willing.
In the Murong family's generation, there are really no outstanding characters, of course, there are no turbulent waves in the family, and they seem to be extremely peaceful. The family has had titles since the previous dynasty, and in the generation of Murong's father, there is also a viscount with a title. In this way, the lintels of the two families are also right. The people of the Xingguo Mansion are not afraid of marrying low, they really don't look down on the children of the gentlemen, and they think that those children who can only eat, drink and have fun are a waste in front of the old grandfather. The old man is also a man who has no eyesight, and he wants to use the Xingguo Mansion as a shield, and he has to ask him if he is willing, there used to be someone who was not afraid of death, but now there is no more. The Zhao family set the Murong family, and the old prince was also satisfied. The Murong family is the patriarch of the Murong family, but unfortunately the patriarch's wife has no sons, only two daughters, the eldest daughter is the Murong family, and the younger daughter Murong is now nineteen, but she is not married. Originally, there was no son, the patriarch sighed for a long time, and the patriarch's wife almost broke his family's mind to inherit the ancestry, who knows, later, the patriarch's concubine added a son to the patriarch. It's just that this concubine wants to inherit the ancestry, and the people in the clan have a lot of opinions. In the past, when the Murong clan was here, those who had opinions would occasionally stumble, but now, when the Murong clan is gone, there are more people in the Murong clan. I heard that this patriarch and the patriarch's wife are so worried! Worriedly, the flowering period of the little Murong clan was delayed.
On the Murong Mansion, the huge courtyard can be heard of needles falling, and the little maids and maids are all guarding outside the second gate, gossiping and chatting from time to time, but they are also stopped by the housekeeper's grandmother's eyes.
"Master, is this true? Did the son-in-law really say that? Mrs. Murong asked in surprise.
"There can be a false thing about this. Son-in-law, oh, no, now you are going to call Grandpa Guo, but you said it to my face. Patriarch Murong touched his beard very complacently.
When Mrs. Murong heard the news at first glance, she was a little surprised and couldn't adapt to it, but when she was confirmed, her eyes were red.
"What are you crying about?"
"Master, I'm not happy!"
The two were happy for a while, and Mrs. Murong seemed to think of something, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Master, I don't know what the old lady over there means?" "Although Li Tuotu is said to be the grandfather of the country, but filial piety comes first, and there is no Zhao family on his head! In case, if the Zhao family has an opinion, can Li Tuotu not take into account the wishes of the Zhao family!
As soon as Mrs. Murong mentioned it, the smile on the face of the Murong patriarch also narrowed by three points. He thought carefully about what he said during the secret interview with Li Tuotu, and after thinking about it, he really didn't hear Li Tuotu say that the Zhao family had agreed, and so did he, he was carried away by the big news, and he didn't think much about it, so he went all the way home and asked his wife to share it. Now it seems that there are still many loopholes in what Li Tuotu said, and there are still many places to consider. "It's still Madame's thoughtfulness."
"Where did the master say, the master has a lot of things every day, and when I heard about it, I couldn't think of it for a while. Who knew that the grandfather of that country had such a mind. ”
"If you want me to say, it's not untraceable. Three years ago......"
"Master-" Mrs. Murong hurriedly interrupted, and then looked around and said, "Master, don't say this anymore." When people listen to it, even the best things become flavorful. If you go out...... Master, think about your family, and think about Bin'er in school. ”
When the patriarch Murong heard this, he looked stern and said, "What Madame said is very true. ”
The two of them slowed down before they spoke again.
"Grandpa Guo's son is almost eighteen now!"
"Yes, it's less than two years older than our Yan'er." Ay! It would be better if I were eight years old. It's almost eighteen, and it's a real headache. If this family business is done, the daughter used to be a steproom, although the status is noble, but only one year older than the stepson, although there is an aunt identity, but the age is too young to be suppressed!
Patriarch Murong was also worried: "If this thing is going to be done, the Zhao family is not the most rare, and the most difficult thing is whether Li Shaoqing will agree." Shaoqing, this kid is not an ordinary gentleman. People can eat, drink and have fun, and they can mix up their names, and how can they say it outside, 'I'd rather offend the prime minister than offend the son', isn't this son talking about Shaoqing! Although this family looks good, it can't be done, I think, it's difficult! ”
So, the husband and wife were silent at the same time, thinking about it!
"Father, Mother!"
At the door curtain, there was a touch of red, melon seed face, hibiscus face, shaved shoulders, water snake waist, who was not Xiao Murong's family.
"Yan'er, why are you here?"
"I'll come to see my father and mother, and I'll see you when Bin'er gets out of school later." After a pause, Xiao Murong said: "I came here just now, and saw that the little maid and the maid were outside the second gate, and my daughter felt strange, so she simply came to ask." If it is audible, the father and mother may wish to talk about it, and if it is something outside, then the daughter will not bother. ”
Mrs. Murong looked at the Murong patriarch, and when she saw that the Murong patriarch acquiesced, she said, "It's okay, maybe you have to come up with an idea for this matter." ”
"Oh?! What's the matter, I have to have my daughter make an idea?! That's amazing! Little Murong smiled when she heard this, Mrs. Murong looked at it from the side, and felt that her daughter smiled like this, it was even better, and she didn't blame Grandpa Guo for taking a fancy to it, her daughter didn't say anything else, no matter how good this color was.
"It's your marriage." Patriarch Murong said directly.
Although he was prepared, but in the end, it was a lifelong matter, and Xiao Murong was also in danger and stabilized his face, his face was hot, he wanted to ask but was embarrassed to ask, so he didn't speak, and looked at Mrs. Murong.
"Your brother-in-law, who is now the grandfather of the Xingguo Mansion, saw your father and said that he wanted to marry you as a stepfamily."
"This ......" Xiao Murong was shocked at once.
"I'm discussing with your mother, and it just so happens that you're here, so I need to ask you what you mean. If you sue us, would you like to? ”
"This ......" is one thing to think, but it is another to say it. After a while, Xiao Murong blushed and bowed his head and said, "But it's up to my father and mother to decide." ”
"Good!" With the words of his daughter, Patriarch Murong thought that he would promote this family affair no matter what.
The sun was just right, Li Shaoqing spread her hair, leaned on the recliner, pinched a variety of newly served pastries in her hands, Chunlan on the side was fanning, Li Shaoqing waved her hand, and Chunlan stopped moving.
"Uncle, Sister Dongxue has already made people inquire about it."
"Tell me about it." Li Shaoqing took a bite of the pastry and felt that it was not bad, so he ate it whole and motioned Chunlan to continue.
"I heard the news revealed by Grandpa Guo's foreign family, the second lady of his family, Murong Yan, is really not young, and the family is interested in giving her a look. That day, Grandpa Guo saw that the head of the Murong family was in Qingyun Temple, because the uncle had a relationship with Qingyun Temple, and the people in Qingyun Temple had the news, although they didn't know what Grandpa Guo and Murong had talked about, but the people of Qingyun Temple said that both of them were happy, and they should be happy, and not long after, Mrs. Murong asked for a marriage sign for her daughter. If there is no connection between the two, the servant will no longer believe it. Also, listening to the subordinates of the Murong Mansion, the head of the Murong family, Mrs. Murong, and Miss Murong once sent them back to the second gate to speak, as if they were discussing something important. ”
Li Shaoqing listened quietly, and then asked, "What kind of person is Murong Yan?" ”
"Uncle Hui, it is reported that this second Miss Murong is talented and good-looking, and she is a woman with opinions. There are many internal affairs in Murong Mansion, and Mrs. Murong likes to ask this second young lady. It's just that this second lady is too good, and she is picky about choosing a son-in-law, and now the second miss is about to be nineteen, and she is still not optimistic about others. ”
Li Shaoqing smiled and asked, "Beautiful women should be proud, it is better to be able to pick others than to be picked by others." It's just that I don't know what my aunt, who has never met a few times, has any requirements for her future husband! I can't say nowhere else, but I can help you too. ”
"I once heard Mama Gu next to the old lady tell a joke. said that once when his wife was alive, the second lady came to the Guogong Mansion to play, at that time, the second lady was about ten years old, and the old lady looked at the second miss and looked good-looking, so she teased her and asked her what kind of husband she wants in the future, guess what the second miss said? ”
"Bad girl, where would I guess, don't say it directly."
Chunlan stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "The second young lady said seriously: 'I have also thought about this matter, my future husband must have the ability, not necessarily the best-looking man in the world, but he must be very good to me, just like my brother-in-law is to my sister.'" I think it's good for my brother-in-law to do this. Because recently, the old lady privately wanted to see a woman for Grandpa Guo, and Mama Gu remembered such an interesting story. ”
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and compared to the choice of the Murong family, Li Shaoqing is more curious about when his father had such a thought.
