Chapter One Hundred and Two
Chen didn't like the four girls, so he never let the four girls follow him back to her parents' house. But Chen, as the mother in charge, will not ignore the upbringing of the four girls. So she was willing to pay out of her own pocket to ask the fourth girl to ask a female gentleman for her to read and write, and when she visited the eldest girl in Ningguo Mansion twice, she also took the fourth girl there. After a few times, it made the fourth girl broaden her horizons. Aunt Lan also mentioned her life behind her back, and the four girls knew more and more about the benefits of pleasing her mother-in-law and eldest sister.
However, because of Aunt Lan, the eldest girl doesn't like the fourth girl very much.
Although the four girls are still young, they can be called smart and clever. Now that you know the crux of the problem, you have to think about it. This needlework prayer means to please the heart. It's a pity that the means are jerky and immature, and people can see through it at a glance.
Fortunately, the Chen family did not mean to embarrass the four girls. But he smiled and persuaded the eldest girl - anyway, the two sheep are also driven, and the three sheep are also released, but they just take care of one more person when they come and go. Presumably, with the cleverness of the fourth girl, she will not do anything to embarrass the eldest sister.
When the four girls heard that they had got what they wanted, they were already overjoyed. nodded again and again, eager to pat his chest and make a guarantee, only saying that he would never embarrass the You family and embarrass the eldest sister.
When everyone saw this, they had to laugh.
Mrs. You is still worried about Chen Qi's promotion, and she is very envious. also knew that Chen Jue had always loved the third sister, so he had to hold the third sister's hand and ask long and short questions. The left is just a little "old lady, old lady, okay?" "How are your aunts and uncles?" "How is Brother Radiant's knowledge?" "When is the hiring period going down?" "When will Sister Wan decide on someone's family?" And so on and so on at length about housework.
Third Sister You sat down next to Mrs. You, peeling peanuts for the old lady on one wall and smiling back. And wait for everyone in the Chen family to say hello to the old lady.
When he was talking, he heard a rumor outside the door that "the old man and aunt are back". When everyone heard this, they had to get up and salute.
For a while, You Ziyu and Jia Zhen walked in hand in hand, saw the old lady first, and received the courtesy of everyone, and sat down.
You Ziyu smiled and looked at the second sister and the third sister, because she said: "I haven't seen each other for a few months, but the two sisters are getting more and more marked." How is your uncle doing? ”
As she spoke, Jia Zhen was sitting upright on the side, smiling and smiling at her eyes on the second sister's body. He immediately spoke: "How can it be bad? Lord Chen's official promotion to the second rank holds great power, and the saint is in the heart of the emperor, which is just the time when the scenery is proud. As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, presumably Lord Chen must be full of energy and spirit, even with the second sister and the third sister, they are also ruddy and full of noble appearance! ”
Noticing Jia Zhen's burning gaze falling on her, Second Sister You turned sideways a little uncomfortably and lowered her head. The slender and immature but delicate silhouette only made Jia Zhen's eyes light up. Immediately, he was afraid that people would find out, so he coughed twice with the act of holding tea, and said with a smile: "In the past two months, your sister has often sent people to pick you up for small gatherings, but she has never seen you come." But disgusted with our Ningguo Mansion Hanmen Cottage, please don't invite nobles to come? ”
Before a word fell, Chen had already smiled and said, "How dare my uncle say this to the two sisters." This is full of Chang'an City to inquire and inquire, who can not know the four kings and eight princes, who does not know the power of your Rongning Second Mansion? The two sisters are also willing to climb the door of the Houmen Mansion and gain a long insight. It's just that she has been tripped up by her family for the past two months, and she can't be free. ”
When Jia Zhen heard this, she pretended to say "oh" suddenly, and then said with a smile: "As soon as my mother-in-law said this, my son-in-law understood." Don't hide it from my mother-in-law, because my two younger sisters haven't come in the past few months, I almost muttered in private. I just thought that the son-in-law had inappropriate words and deeds and offended the two younger sisters. That's why the two younger sisters refused to come. ”
When Mrs. You heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "This is what my uncle thinks too much." Where could there be such a thing? ”
When Jia Zhen heard this, she smiled again. During this period, his eyes kept falling on Second Sister You's body. I wanted to laugh with her, but I saw that Second Sister You blindly bowed her head and was silent, but she couldn't talk. However, Jia Zhen thought about it, and only looked at Second Sister You sitting so delicately and timidly and docile in silence, although it was not as spacious and refreshing as the daughter of the family, but it also had the gentle style of a small jasper.
Jia Zhen glanced at it again and again without a trace, only to feel that it was like a kitten's paw scratching in her heart, which made people panic. He thought about it, and then asked Mrs. You and Chen with a smile: "I see that the second sister is also approaching the age of the general, I don't know if I can make a promise?" ”
Mrs. You is worried about this. Hearing what Jia Zhen said, without waiting for Chen to speak, he sighed and said, "Uncle's words have touched my heart." You must know that the second sister and the third sister are not my own granddaughters. But because these two sisters are good-looking and have good personalities, I also like them very much. They are only treated as their own granddaughters. It's a pity......"
Mrs. You sighed for a while, and then explained the original and distorted the marriage between Second Sister You and the Zhang family. At the end, I didn't forget to say sadly: "It's not that I, who is a grandmother, hates the poor and loves the rich." It's just that my uncle looks at the appearance and character of our second sister, if it is paired with the bastard thing that the Zhang family's mud can't support the wall, isn't it just a flower inserted into cow dung...... Not to mention her mother and uncle, even I, a grandmother, are unwilling. ”
Jia Zhen just asked casually, but she never wanted to ask about this story. Hearing that Second Sister You is such a peugeot character, she will be married to the rotten person of the Zhang family who didn't learn well at a young age in the future, and I can't help but feel a little pity for the jade. sighed at Mrs. You's words and said, "It's a pity." ”
sighed once, and said to Chen with a smile: "As the saying goes, men are afraid of entering the wrong industry, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man." The second sister is so marked at a young age, not to mention that her family background is not bad. It's not the son-in-law Wang Po who sells melons, just based on the appearance and character of the second sister, even the children of the Xu family are more than enough. If the Zhang family really doesn't succeed, why should the mother-in-law hold a marriage contract and not let go, but it will harm the second sister's life. ”
These words are not only Jia Zhen, but also Old Lady You Ziyu, and even Chen's mother Feng and others have also said it. Hearing this, Chen's ears were about to become calloused. What's more, Chen has also seen with his own eyes how crazy people who gamble, and Chen is afraid that his daughter will also fall into that step, and he has already regretted his marriage.
It's just that because of the love between the Chen and Zhang families, as well as the reputation of the second sister, it's hard to say it for a while.
Seeing that Chen was so hesitant, Jia Zhen said casually: "Mother-in-law, don't blame me for holding it up. Speaking of which, the second sister and You are both sisters, and we are also in-laws in Ningfu. If the second sister-in-law is too unbearable in the future, when the relatives move around, even our Ning Mansion will be disgraced...... The son-in-law is not talented, but he knows some children of the family on weekdays. If the mother-in-law agrees, the son-in-law is also willing to be a mountain protector for the second sister. ”
The sentence fell, without waiting for the reaction of others. Second Sister You, who was sitting on the side, was already flushed with shame, and hurriedly got up and retired. I went in a hurry.
Seeing this, Third Sister You had no choice but to get up and say goodbye, and drove the second sister back to the back house. When everyone in the hall saw this, they couldn't help but look at each other. Old Lady You smiled and said, "The second girl is ashamed. It's my uncle's fault. I didn't say these things that made people sit still. ”
Seeing this, Jia Zhen couldn't help but smile. Thinking of the little appearance of Second Sister You who had just left shyly and timidly, half of her body became more and more crisp.
Not to mention how everyone laughed and talked about the marriage of the second sister. only said that Third Sister You rushed back to the second sister's boudoir behind the second sister. I saw that the second sister was sitting sullenly on the couch and wringing her handkerchief. The two girls are serving the second sister to eat tea.
Third Sister You thought about it, stepped forward and said with a smile: "This eldest brother-in-law is very frivolous in his words and actions. No wonder the second sister is annoyed. Even I'm annoyed. ”
When Second Sister You heard this, she glanced at Third Sister You sullenly, and said casually: "Frivolous or not, it has nothing to do with me." I just beg Brother Zhang Hua not to become a gambler in the future. ”
After that, I was indignant in my heart. Deng Shi threw aside the handkerchief in his hand in an irritated mood, and blurted out a complaint: "What kind of life do you say I am?" is also married, and people can marry into the Gongmen Hou Mansion as the wife of the Emperor. I don't want to say that it's the Houmen Mansion, it's difficult to marry a showman. If she really becomes a gambler's mother-in-law in the future, it will be in the eyes of everyone now. ”
Second Sister You said one wall, and the other wall dragged the pillow and fell to the ground as if venting. I still couldn't understand the hatred when I dropped the pillow, and I casually took the small teacup that Anzhi was holding on the tea tray and threw it on the ground. I only heard the sound of "open-mindedness", and the small mud gold colorful tea cup fell in half, and the tea splashed in all directions, staining the skirt of Second Sister You and Zhi Tinglan.
Anzhi Tinglan hurriedly knelt on the ground and picked up the fragments of the broken teacup. Seeing this, Third Sister You waved her hand to signal the two girls to go down first, while she sat next to Second Sister You, bumped her shoulder against her shoulder, and asked with a smile, "Angry?" ”
"What am I angry about?" Second Sister You sneered and turned around, and said in her mouth: "If I were really angry, I would have been angry to death." ”
Third Sister You ignored Second Sister You'er's angry words, and still asked with a smile: "Second Sister doesn't want to marry Brother Zhang Hua." It's that Brother Zhang Hua will change his mind in the future, and he won't gamble anymore, and he doesn't want to marry? ”
When Second Sister You heard this, she thought sullenly for a long time before she said, "It's that he doesn't gamble." It is difficult to be an official in this life. Do I want to follow him for the rest of my life and be willing to be poor? If you want to earn a life, do you have to wait for decades to see if my son fights? ”
“…… As the eldest brother-in-law said, people are the children of the Houmen Mansion, and I am the person on the card. If I really marry into the Zhang family, when my relatives move around in the future, I will have to look at other people's eyes and noses for the rest of my life. Whoever is happy or unhappy can take me to relieve his anger. Why? ”
When Second Sister You said this, she took Third Sister You's hand and choked up: "Third Sister, I'm unwilling!" ”
