Chapter 149: It's hard to say
Luo Fang went to the inner courtyard with Lingzhi, and saw a few girls sitting under a flower shed covered by lush wisteria flowers in the side corridor of the main courtyard where Mrs. Luo lived, it was his sister Luo Yan and her cousins, Jin Qiaoyue was eighteen years old and a little older and more stable, sitting without moving, but the other three were running faster than the other, chasing after Luo Fang, squeaking and asking repeatedly, asking him where he went yesterday and today, why didn't he see anyone? When did he take them out on the streets? He also asked him if he was going to Zheng's Mansion again? Can you see those cousins of the Zheng Mansion?
Luo Fang could only stand still, smiling and listening to them finish their words, and then replied one by one, and then pointed to Lingzhi and said that grandmother was anxious to reply, and she lost the compensation first, and then took her sisters to play when she was empty.
The girls wanted to follow him into the house, but Luo Fang had no choice but to let them go.
Mrs. Luo was happy when she saw her grandson, and she didn't mind that her granddaughters were noisy, and the grandchildren talked and laughed happily for a while.
The maids brought melons, fruits, snacks and tea, and while eating, Mrs. Luo asked Luo Fang about the lion's mane mushroom, and Luo Fang relayed Baoliang's words and told her grandmother not to worry: the lion's mane mushroom has been sent to the capital by horse, and the father in the capital may have eaten it now.
Mrs. Luo was relieved, and Mama Luo said beside her:
"It's good that the old lady has it there, the old lady has a headache just now, let's all go to Chizhou City, so close to the road, we should be able to eat some in time!"
Luo Fang listened, hurriedly stepped forward to hold his grandmother's shoulder, and asked nervously if he was better? Old Madam Luo patted her grandson's hand lovingly and smiled: "My good grandson don't worry, grandmother will be fine after a while!" β
Lin Yao peeled a ripe loquat fruit and put it into Mrs. Luo's mouth, saying, "This is very sweet, for grandmother!" β
Mrs. Luo frowned at first, and waited for the sweetness of the loquat fruit. Nodding and complimenting: "It's good, it's so sweet, it's all filial children!" β
Zheng said with a smile: "There is nothing particularly good in this place in Chizhou, but the melons and fruits are indeed sweeter and more delicious than other places!" Therefore, it is not surprising that lion's mane mushrooms that can cure diseases grow in the mountains of Fangshi Town! β
Mama Luo interjected: "Imperial Doctor Xu has said: Lion's mane mushroom can cure diseases, but the diseases of lion's mane mushrooms in various places are also different!" Mrs., you are kind and filial. Last year, I happened to see lion's mane mushrooms in Fangshi Town, so I took them to the capital. It's a rare opportunity for our old lady and old man to eat! β
Zheng said: "That's also our old lady's blessing!" β
Old Madam Luo looked at Zheng with a smile: "I am indeed blessed to have such a filial daughter-in-law as you!" β
Luo Yan said: "I don't know how that lion's mane mushroom grows." Since I just sent a batch to the capital, is there no more? How long does Grandmother want to wait for food here? β
Luo Fang remembered what Baoliang said: Uncle Jia lives nearby, and lion's mane mushrooms are eaten and picked...... It can be seen that Luo Zhen thinks about his uncle. It should be available all the time!
I only heard Mama Luo say: "It should be that there are still some left, isn't the second master of the Jia family over there?" He's the same as our lord. Also eat lion's mane mushroom for pain! Now, he can still eat fresh! β
Luo Yan pouted: "The third brother is always like this!" can't tell the difference between relatives and outside, he forgot what his surname is! β
Luo Fang reprimanded: "Little sister! β
Old Madam Luo raised her face and sighed, and Jin Qiaoyue, who was sitting at the round table, lowered her head with a guilty face. As if he was being questioned on behalf of Luo Zhen.
Zheng's mouth moved, but there was no squeak.
Mama Luo looked at Mrs. Luo and said, "We can't just wait, there is no lion's mane mushroom to cook soup to drink." The old lady couldn't sleep for more than two hours at night, where did she get her spirit? β
Luo Fang was silent for a moment. looked at Zheng and said: "If it's a general business relationship, it's okay, you can go directly to the door and don't care what others say." But now that he is married, and the family has just been given the title, the head of the family is General Wupin Zhongyong, he clearly said that it is inconvenient to expand the general's mansion, and this is not a year, we are not invited, and we will go without a name, okay? β
Zheng nodded: "What Fang Er said is that the original ...... I also plan that we will go to the place to live first, wait for the in-laws to come and invite, and then go to his house to have a look, but it has been so many days, and the Feng family has not seen anyone coming! β
Luo Fang raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows: "Maybe it's not the Feng family who is coming!" That stepfather's surname is Guan, who was originally a member of the Left Guard Battalion of the Northwest Army, and has guarded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today! I heard that his leg was crippled and he couldn't take up a real position, so he was named a loyal and brave general, and he was only raised at home. β
Zheng looked at Mrs. Luo, and then at a few girls, with a little embarrassment on his face: "Oh, that...... Alas, I forgot about it! How can this be said? β
Old Madam Luo snorted lightly: "Xiao San'er when he jumped out of the stone, put aside the elders, he did everything, and got the queen's marriage, the clan elders can't refuse, what do you have to say?" β
Among the girls, only Luo Yan knew more, and when she saw her grandmother say this, she simply told the sisters: "The one who is engaged to the third brother, her mother was abandoned, and the in-laws didn't even want to separate the children they born, so Miss Feng followed their mother and married into the Guan family......"
Zheng hurriedly corrected: "It's harmony, not abandonment!" β
Luo Yan said: "What's the difference? It's all the husband's family who didn't want it and drove it out! β
Zheng: "......"
She really didn't think this kind of topic should be talked about by the little girls.
Jin Qiaoyue and Jin Qiaoyun sisters only learned that Luo Zhen's fiancΓ©e had such a situation at this time, and they were stunned, Jin Qiaoyue thought that her family was good, but Luo Zhen retreated, and turned to ask to marry a woman who went to court with her mother, and couldn't help but burst into tears again.
Lin Yao sat beside Luo Yan silently, her face was as usual, and there was something similar in her family: her uncle and aunt reconciled the year before last, and the two cousins followed their mother back to their grandfather's house to die or live, and I heard that the aunt married another year this year...... Another cousin has lost his wife for three years, and just married a little widow this year, and the little widow also brought a son and a daughter!
Therefore, Lin Yao didn't think this kind of thing was so strange.
In fact, Luo Fang didn't think there was anything, the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty encouraged widows to remarry, and most women whose husbands were dead or abandoned would not live alone for too long. A while ago, he also went to attend the wedding banquet of the Marquis of Yongning, who was nearly forty years old, married the widowed lord of Fanghua, and both of them had children.
Of course, everyone has their own ideas, there are still a lot of chaste martyrs who have one daughter and two husbands, such as the Luo family, the first generation of noble families, there are widows, but there have never been widows to marry another, not that it is not allowed, but the women themselves have that kind of consciousness.
Mama Luo pouted: "His family said that it was inconvenient to entertain the general's mansion if he wanted to expand it, so let's not go, but as a family member, we can't help but come to visit the distinguished guests from afar, right?" β
Zheng said: "He is coming, just delay it for a few days." The countryside is not as good as the city, and there are occasional omissions in the number of etiquette, as long as it is finally completed, there is nothing to say and no suspicion! β
She thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, prepare a generous gift, ask the subordinates of Xiao San'er in the front yard to take a trip, and find the girl to ask for lion's mane mushrooms, it doesn't hurt to come!" (To be continued.) )
