Chapter 29: Refusal of Marriage
Since her daughter-in-law got married, Luo Yan has not been used to it for a while. Making a pot of tea and lighting a pot of incense will remind you of your child. often sits in front of the window, looks lonely, and sighs for no reason, "There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed!" ”
Jiu'er always thinks of ways to coax her, folds a paper figure and paints her eyebrows and eyes to tease her, "I'm a woman, I'm going to give birth to a big white fat doll!" ”
Luo Yan watched her walk with the two legs of the paper figure, and her chubby little face bloomed, and she couldn't help laughing. Jiu'er looked at her and laughed......
In the evening of this day, Jiu'er picked a few flowers and plants from the garden, and Luo Yan took scissors to trim them, ready to insert them in the blue and white peach and bamboo plum bottle.
Mrs. Luo's maid Ai'er came in with a smile and said that Mrs. invited the second lady to go to the front hall to talk.
Luo Yan stopped the scissors in her hand and frowned. "But the Rong family sent someone?"
"The second lady is really smart and smart, and she can guess it." Elle covered her mouth and smiled even deeper.
"Go back, and I'll be there." Luo Yan put down the flowers and plants in her hand and watched Ai'er go out of the yard. With a stern expression, he took out the jade bracelet that was broken in two from the makeup drawer, and called Jiu'er to go to the front hall together.
Mama Yan was talking to Mrs. Luo, and when she saw Luo Yan coming in, the two looked at each other and smiled, and each moved her body.
Mrs. Luo beckoned Luo Yan to come to her, and the smile on Mama Yan's face spread out, looking at Luo Yan coming over.
Luo Yan gave Mama Yan a salute, and Mama Yan hurriedly got up and returned the salute, "Don't you dare to let the girl give such a big gift to the old slave!" ”
"Don't be pretentious! Yan'er is a junior no matter what she says, so let you come all the way to report the good news, and you should be worshiped by her. Mrs. Luo got up and pulled Mama Yan and watched Luo Yan give a full salute.
Luo Yan knew that her mother was really happy, and she must have been anxious when the Rong family came to propose.
Mama Yan and Mrs. Luo sat back on the Taishi chair, Mama Yan looked at Mrs. Luo, and Mrs. Luo nodded and signaled to her.
Mama Yan cleared her throat, and before she could speak, she had a happy expression on her face.
"The old slave came this time to give good news to Miss Luo Yan!" She looked at Luo Yan's expression, saw that her face was calm, and her tone was aggravated, "The old slave was ordered by Mrs. Rong to propose marriage to Rong Jue, the fourth master of the Rong family!" ”
Although Mrs. Luo had heard Mama Yan talk about it before, and after listening to it again this time, she still couldn't suppress the surprise and relief in her heart, and looked at Luo Yan with a sunny face. She believes that Luo Yan must have seen Rong Jue when she goes to Rong's house, and she should be happy to do everything she can.
Luo Yan listened quietly and smiled slightly, "Thank you Mama Yan for her hard work to propose, Luo Yan has already told her mother that she will not marry in this life!" ”
Mrs. Luo was about to take a sip of the tea bowl, but her hand shook when she was shocked by Luo Yan's words, the tea bowl was crooked, and the hot tea spilled out, drenching the bamboo-colored gown with a large water stain.
"Yan'er Hugh wants to talk nonsense!" She didn't care about the hot tea, and scolded Luo Yan. Elle hurriedly found a handkerchief to wipe her. She waved her hand to make the maids stand down. It was a happy event, but this moment made her lose face, isn't it a fault of lax family education......
Mama Yan thought that her words were not clear, and she repeated again, "It's Rong Jue, the fourth master of the Rong family, the matchmaker personally pointed out by the old lady!" Didn't Miss Luo accept the bracelet? ”
Mrs. Luo looked at Luo Yan fiercely, for fear that she would say something stupid again. Although Mama Yan is a slave, she has been by Mrs. Rong's side for decades, and her words are also weighty, in case the words are wrong, this family affair will be blown ...... She didn't dare to think about it.
Luo Yan stood up and apologized to Mama Yan and Mrs. Luo again, "Yan'er has already thought about it, she will not marry for the rest of her life, if she forces me again, she will find a nunnery to be a nun!" ”
Mrs. Luo felt like a cold wind blowing in her heart, her eyes were black, she was unsteady on her feet, and she fell to the chair with her sleeves and tea bowls.
"Bang", startled the maid waiting outside the door of the front hall and rushed into the house, pulling Mrs. Luo to stroke her chest and beat her back. It took a long time for Mrs. Luo to sulk and recover.
Jiu'er opened her mouth in surprise and reached out to pull her arm. Trembling asked in a trembling voice: "Miss, don't go to the nunnery, what should Jiu'er do?" ”
Mama Yan opened her mouth half-open, incredulous. Luo Yan didn't know how difficult it was to make this trip, but her heart was like a mirror.
A few days after the end of the flower party, Mrs. Rong was going to Luo's house to propose. Mama Yan persuaded her that the fourth master's family affairs must be decided by the second lady.
The old lady didn't care about it, she was confused for a while, and asked Mama Yan to set off immediately.
Mama Yan asked the treasure chest to explore Mrs. Cheng's oral style. The treasure chest inquired for a few days, and only then did he learn from the silver hairpin that Mrs. Cheng was planning to propose marriage to Rong Jue. As for which one she prefers, Mrs. Cheng did not say it clearly.
The treasure chest returned to Mama Yan, just in time for Mrs. Rong to be sober. sent the treasure chest to invite Mrs. Cheng over, and said that she wanted to discuss Rong Jue's family affairs.
The treasure chest looked at Mama Yan, Mama Yan nodded and smiled, signaling her to hurry up.
Rong Jue's family affairs are what Rong Fu pays the most attention to, first start a family and then start a business. In the autumn, Rong Jue passed the government examination and was ready to take office. The timing is right. The old lady's mind has already been decided, and as for which girl to choose, of course, Mrs. Cheng knows the most.
Mrs. Cheng finally sent off the girls who participated in the flower party. Her niece just invited her brother and sister-in-law because of her affection, and she couldn't look down on both of them in terms of appearance and personality. What's more, if you become a daughter-in-law, it is not easy to get along with two layers of identity. The eldest lady Rong Chunniang is an example, she doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of Mrs. Wu.
Li Miaoyun even disdainfully said that if he got it in and the eldest lady Wu, he would have to have a messy relationship...... As for Meng Lingmei, she looks honest and honest, and she also hides domineering in her bones, so she must not marry.
Zhu Xingru has the most flat appearance and the most arrogant personality. But after all, she has a good family background, and the Zhu family has a wide network of contacts in Lin'an, the capital, which is the most beneficial for Rong Jue's career in the future. The appearance of beauty and ugliness is actually comfortable after looking at it for a long time, personality, as the saying goes, one thing descends one thing, she saw Zhu Xingru every time she saw Rong Jue, she unconsciously became tender......
Mrs. Cheng picked up the newly built incense piece and took a sip. With a long exhale, the silver hairpin fanned behind her.
Although it was early spring, it was unbearably hot on this day, and the four window lattices were propped up, and I still felt that the heat was scorching.
Jin Hai came to report, and the treasure chest came to invite the second lady to go to Cuiyuan to speak.
Mrs. Cheng said "oh", in the past two years, the old lady has been confused for a while and understood that the big and small things in the family are no longer asked. The ladies and ladies of each courtyard do not move except to go to the old lady's house in the morning and dusk to greet them. Occasionally, the old lady was so lively that she asked the maid to call a room of people to eat and drink, and she would not ask anything when she was done. It's weird to call her.
"Did the old lady say anything?"
The treasure chest stood outside the door and heard Mrs. Cheng's question, so she said, "The old lady said to invite the second lady to come over and discuss the family affairs of the fourth master." ”
Mrs. Cheng's face turned pale, and she got up and waved her hand. The silver hairpin stopped the fan, and when he saw Mrs. Cheng moving downstairs, he hurriedly followed. thought to himself, the fourth master's family affairs were finally decided......
