Chapter 156: Marry the Right Person
After a moment of suffocation, the atmosphere eased again. After all, this is just a trivial matter, Chu Hongliang's purpose in inviting Xue Mingyang is to have a good relationship with this wealthy son-in-law, so as to pave a wider road for his son's future and bring more wealth to the Chu family, and by no means to fight with them.
In fact, he also understood in his heart that during the years that Chu Lingfeng was at home, no one treated her well, and the relationship with Chu Han's brothers and sisters has always been good, it is purely a scene, and ghosts will not believe it, so now that he sees that his daughter is gaining power, he remembers that he wants to get close to him and win over the relationship, and he is afraid that it will inevitably be a little frustrated.
Chu Lingfeng has never been the girl who is submissive, she doesn't do whatever her family says, she was powerless and disobedient back then, not to mention standing on the strong side now.
However, after all, Chu Hongliang has been the master of the house for decades, so it is inevitable that he is a little self-righteous, he feels that even if he has not cared much for Chu Lingfeng over the years, he has never used a lot of food, drink, and clothing, and for a girl, this is fine.
If Chu Lingfeng has a grudge, this resentment probably comes from Li Shuhua, and he doesn't care much about the affairs of the back house, but he still knows about it in general. Li Shuhua is not a broad-minded woman, although she will not treat the children of other side rooms harshly, but she can't be kind, so Chu Lingfeng, who is not protected by her biological mother, will bear the brunt.
It's just that Li Shuhua hasn't done anything too excessive, usually cynicism and the like, so he didn't take it seriously at all, and turned a blind eye and passed. Daughters, after all, they want to marry into someone else's family and become someone else's person.
Of course, at that time, he couldn't have imagined that Chu Lingfeng would become the quasi-head of the richest family in Linchuan.
So now Chu Hongliang still has a beautiful fantasy, he feels that most of Chu Lingfeng's resentment is because of Li Shuhua, this time as long as Li Shuhua can be soft and show good, and he will say a few words for her, and all problems will naturally be solved.
Xue Mingyang doesn't seem to have a grandfather's family, and he doesn't have any help in the Xue family. Thinking about it left and right, it seems that the only one who is closer is the Chu family.
Chu Hongliang secretly glared at Li Shuhua and asked her to put away a late girl's face. I don't want to think about what it's for today, not for her son Chu Han.
Chu Han also pinched him under the table, and Li Shuhua had to put on a smiling face, although she gritted her teeth, she managed to keep her smile.
Time. The atmosphere on the table seemed to be harmonious again, Chu Han raised his glass to Xue Mingyang with a glass of wine, and then said some kind words, not saying anything serious, just talking about the scenery and interesting anecdotes, as if it was really a family with affection.
When the meal was almost finished, Chu Hongliang asked someone to remove the table, served tea, and said, "It's late today, Mingyang drank a few more glasses of wine." Why don't you just rest at home for the night? Still living in Lingfeng's original house, I have already asked everyone to clean it and replace it with a new bedding. It just so happens that you should also go and worship the mother of the spirit. Mingyang has just taken over the Xue family's business, and he thinks that he will be busier in the future, and the next time he comes, he doesn't know when it will be. ”
Xue Mingyang felt very admired for his father-in-law at this time, obviously there was something, but he could endure it and not say it. It's as if you really just invited them over for dinner and talked about them at home.
Xue Mingyang glanced at Chu Lingfeng. Seeing that she nodded at him, she said, "Okay, then bother." ”
Today, I don't need to make herbs, and I just sleep when I go back. Xue Mingyang is not so busy that he can't return for a day. What's more, if a person is interested in another person, he will be interested in everything about her, so Chu Hongliang proposed to go to Chu Lingfeng's courtyard to stay for one night, and Xue Mingyang actually felt very yearning.
And there is one thing that is really more important, he really wants to go to the ancestral hall of the Chu family and give Chu Lingfeng's mother a stick of incense.
When I came back to the door on the third day. In fact, they went to worship Chu Lingfeng's biological mother, but that was the first time the two met, and they had no feelings, and the two were still testing each other, and when they returned to the door or something, they just went through the motions, even if they worshiped according to the rules, they didn't care.
But this time it was different, Xue Mingyang wanted to kowtow seriously in front of his real mother-in-law, and promised seriously that he would treat her daughter well, so that her spirit in the sky could rest in peace.
Although Chu Lingfeng's courtyard was very small and remote, in order to make Xue Mingyang comfortable, he cleaned it up quietly, and the furniture and furnishings inside were almost brand new, and Chu Lingfeng, who had lived for more than ten years, almost didn't recognize it when he walked in.
Because Xue Mingyang returned early, this meal was also eaten early, and when the two of them rested after eating, the sky was still bright.
Xue Mingyang walked in with great interest, looked around, and pinched Chu Lingfeng's hand while no one was paying attention: "This is where you grew up?" ”
"Sort of." Chu Lingfeng followed and looked around curiously: "But except that the yard is still this yard, and the house is still this house, there is no difference." ”
Not to mention anything else, even the bed has been changed, the original small bed has been replaced by a double bed, although it is not much luxurious, but at a glance it looks quite high-end.
Xiao Tian also looked inside and out, sighed, and was talking about it, when a grandmother came outside, standing at the door and talking to the little girl brought by Xue Mingyang.
From time to time, the grandmother came in, in her forties, and she looked a little decent to dress, she should be an old steward in Chu Mansion.
Xue Mingyang naturally didn't know him, but Chu Lingfeng smiled and stepped forward: "Isn't this Mama Zhong, what's the matter?" ”
Mama Zhong owes herself, asks Xue Mingyang for peace, and says, "Madam sent me to see, what else do the third lady and my uncle need, and I don't know what my uncle likes, I'm afraid that the arrangement will not be satisfactory." ”
Mama Zhong is the mother who liked Xiao Tian's little girl back then, that is, she, in order to please Li Shuhua, beat her son and forced him to marry Xing'er.
But if it's just like this, Chu Lingfeng won't hold a grudge against her, and wants his son to find a daughter-in-law who can borrow his strength, and he will be appreciated by the master, this is a matter of course, and any father and mother are like this, and there is nothing to blame.
But she shouldn't have said bad things about Xiao Tian in the house after marrying Xing'er as her daughter-in-law, what is beyond her means, the toad wants to eat swan meat, and only the blind will marry her.
Looking at Mama Zhong with a humble face who was smiling, Chu Lingfeng said, "It's okay." But for one night, my uncle is not a picky person. Oh, by the way, Britney...... Did you just say something? ”
Xiao Tian was cleaning up in the back room at this time. Hearing Chu Lingfeng call her, she answered her voice and ran out blankly: "Miss, what did you say?" ”
"Mama Zhong came to ask if there was anything wrong, didn't you just say that there was a smell in the house, and then the bedding was a little thick?" Chu Lingfeng asked. Then without waiting for Xiao Tian to respond, he turned to Mama Zhong and said, "Please light incense for Xiao Tian's room and change a set of bedding." By the way, she can't get used to the incense next to her, Ping'er, you go to the carriage and get some of our commonly used Sanqiu flavor. ”
The most expensive shop in Linchuan sells spices, the store is the most distinctive, limited supply, is the four seasons of four kinds of flowers-based incense, three autumn flavor is osmanthus fragrance. Fresh and elegant, chime people's hearts. It is the most commonly used by Chu Lingfeng, and there will also be a little on the carriage.
Because this spice is scarce, it is very expensive, a small piece costs ten taels of silver, according to the girl's salary, I can't afford to buy a piece a year.
Mama Zhong's heart is a little distorted, Chu Lingfeng is just that, she used to be the master and is now the master, which is different from her. But Xiao Tian is just a girl. A girl, now she is more delicate than the young lady in the Chu Mansion. This made her feel comfortable, and in order to cater to Xue Mingyang, all the furnishings in this room were changed. Even in the small sweethouse, a batch of them was changed. The futon pillow or something, although it is impossible to follow Miss's standards, is much better than the previous Xiaotian use, and even better than the one used by Mama Zhong herself.
But just like that, Xiao Tian is not used to it. I feel rough.
Once Mama Zhong has a heart in her heart, she will naturally inevitably look at Xiao Tian a few more times, and this look will show that there is a problem, the hairpin on Xiao Tian's head and the earrings on her ears are not ordinary, and they may not be able to be worn by the young lady and the lady in the house.
Mama Zhong looked at Xiao Tian's bun, her expression was a little trance for a while, after Chu Lingfeng gave the order, she raised her eyes and saw her like that, she sneered in her heart, but said with some doubts on her face: "Why does Mama Zhong look at Xiao Tian like this, what's the problem?" ”
Xiao Tian was also at a loss, raised her hand and pulled her hair: "Is my hair messy?" ”
"No, that's good." Chu Lingfeng straightened the hairpin on her head for her: "But your hairpin doesn't match your clothes today, you should wear the sapphire jewelry from last time." ”
Xiao Tian really had a set of sapphire jewelry, and after listening to Chu Lingfeng's words, she obediently responded.
Xue Mingyang had been listening to a few people talking to him, and at this time quipped: "Xiao Tian is already very beautiful, you can't dress her up anymore." Do you still remember the last time I went to Hefu for a banquet, and when I came back, several sons asked me in a roundabout way. ”
"You didn't promise anything, did you?" Chu Lingfeng looked at Xue Mingyang with wide eyes.
"No, how dare I." Xue Mingyang smiled: "I told them, Xiao Tian is my wife's sister, and I can't do her marriage, so you can only be satisfied." ”
"That's pretty much it." Chu Lingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Xiao Tian, who had turned around and entered the house because of this topic, Zhengse said to Xue Mingyang: "I must personally pick Xiao Tian's family affairs, and I must choose a son with a good family and character, don't promise anything outside." ”
"I know, I know." Xue Mingyang smiled dotingly: "You treat Xiao Tian as a sister, and I also treat her as a sister, and I am ready for the dowry." But don't be too picky, no matter how reluctant you are, the girl is going to marry when she is old. It's a big deal to marry someone close, for the sake of her eyelids, with us, who else can she suffer. ”
Xue Mingyang and Chu Lingfeng were talking, just like ordinary husband and wife talking. But Mama Zhong, who was standing on the side, regretted it and wished that her intestines were light.
If his own kid didn't marry Li Shuhua's girl at that time, but Xiao Tian, what would be the situation now. There should be no need for a big family to be a girl in the Chu Mansion, what kind of family is the Xue family, Xue Mingyang is regarded as a sister, and a little leakage between the fingers is enough for a large family to eat and drink spicy food. What's more, with such a wealthy backer, it must be a sure profit to do any small business casually.
Mama Zhong's expression Chu Lingfeng saw it in her eyes, smiled in her heart, and said a few more words, and then let her go back. She knew that Xing'er was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and tonight, I was afraid that there would be excitement at home.
After Mama Zhong left, Chu Lingfeng closed the door and saw Xue Mingyang looking at him with a smile. At that moment, Zhengse said: "What I just said is true. ”
"What I said is true." Xue Mingyang said happily: "I know that you and Xiao Tian have a good relationship, and I am really willing to treat her as a sister." Of course, the dowry is not ready yet, but if you need it, you can always have it. ”
Xiao Tian was teased by Chu Lingfeng and Xue Mingyang, the little girl was thin-skinned and went back to the room to rest angrily, and Mama Zhong also went back to her life angrily.
Xing'er is Li Shuhua's personal girl, although she is married, she still serves by Li Shuhua's side, and she is slowly beating her back at this time, talking about dinner.
A dinner, although it seemed to be harmonious, Li Shuhua was not lightly angry. Because of Chu Hongliang's death order, although she didn't dare to do anything provocative and troublesome, it was still okay to complain or something with her cronies.
As he was talking, when he saw Mama Zhong coming back, Li Shuhua teased her eyelids, and said a little unreasonably: "How is it, what did the third lady say over there?" ”
Xing'er stood beside Li Shuhua, and when she saw her mother-in-law coming, she didn't say anything, and she didn't even bother to say hello.
Xing'er is Li Shuhua's most trusted girl, although she is not a young lady in Chu Mansion, she is naturally a girl with her head held high. Now that the family, the father-in-law and the father-in-law and mother-in-law all rely on her face in front of Li Shuhua to get good errands one by one, so naturally, she must be a little tougher at home. Even against the mother-in-law.
Mama Zhong also understands this in her heart, so she has always let Xing'er, and if she doesn't let her, she can teach Xing'er a lesson as an elder, and after the lesson is over, can she continue to teach Li Shuhua? As long as Xing'er cries a few words in front of Li Shuhua, the life of that family will not be easy.
And at this time, after seeing Xiao Tian so favored by Chu Lingfeng, she looked at this daughter-in-law who was already unpleasant.
The ability is not big, but the temper is not small, and the child has not given birth to one for almost two years, but he is about to ride on the head of his mother and son, which is simply lawless and unorthodox. (To be continued.) )
