Chapter 242: On the eve of marriage
Since that day, Zhiyu brought a group of young ladies to eat the head, but no one was bored, only those who came to measure the size and cut clothes, send things, and teach marriage etiquette, the closer the day is, the less idle Ling'er is here.
Tomorrow is the day of marriage, the bride came over early in the morning with a smile and asked Ling'er to try on the wedding dress, and once again rehearsed the steps of marriage from beginning to end, and then left in a hurry.
Ling'er paced up and down the courtyard, sometimes looking up at the sky, sometimes looking back at the courtyard gate, looking a little anxious.
Thinking of the past when she met, met, and got along with Jia Haoyang, her heartbeat couldn't help but be a little faster, and she touched her heart and asked herself for the first time: Is this good? He...... Is it really not your own beloved? Will you regret missing it?
If before the garden party, she did not hesitate for a moment, because it was not a problem at all; can think of the scene before falling into the water, he looked at his eyes; obviously can't swim, but he almost lost his life when he jumped down as a meat pad; and when I met by chance later, my inexplicable heartbeat blushed......
Ling'er was a little annoyed, the one I liked before was obviously Wenxuan, how could he change his hexagram so quickly! Could it be that because of entering this naΓ―ve body, even one's own mind has become naΓ―ve?
At the gate of the courtyard, Qiu Ming stepped in with small steps, blessed himself slightly in front of Ling'er, and then leaned closer and whispered: "Miss, the eldest lady's side has been arranged, the sedan chair bearer who carries the sedan chair and the bride who gives the wedding are all her people, but I don't know how they plan to change the way?" β
Ling'er clenched her fists and looked at the sky in silence. Qiu Ming watched Ling'er open her mouth several times but couldn't speak, Chun Qiao came over and waved her hand to pull her back, and said softly: "Miss." Let's go in and rest for a while! β
"I'm not tired."
Chunqiao also looked up at the sky, she found that the direction that Ling'er was looking at was the direction of Jiafu in Cangzhou City, she sighed in her heart, and persuaded in a low voice: "Miss, Gongzi Jia has affection for you, you know the tricks of the eldest lady, why don't you demolish her?" Or send a message to Jia Gongzi. I believe that he will definitely find a way to solve it. β
Ling'er didn't speak, and Chunqiao said again: "Miss, how can marriage be a child's play." This miss may be missed for a lifetime, according to the rules, as long as you carry it into the door and worship the church, no matter who it is, you can't leave your family. Do you really hope that Miss Zhilan will marry Jia Gongzi in the church for you? and the dowry of 100,000 taels. If it really changes, it's Miss Zhilan's! Miss, you ......"
Ling'er sank her face: "Don't say it!" β
She turned and went into the house, and the matter had come to this point, and there was no room for turn. What's more, the reason why he planned so much was that he knew that Jia Haoyang had affection for him, so that the plan could succeed and give a heavy blow to those who calculated him.
The Jia family's kind of place is not something that they can adapt to. What's more, the old lady of the Jia family is already dissatisfied with herself, even if Jia Haoyang is a little interested in herself for a while. When the days go by, he is not interested? Do you want to carry the women into the door one by one to her husband with your own hands? No, you must not put yourself in the position of a deep resentful woman.
Ling'er made up her mind and went back to the house to call a few maids to her.
Ling'er called the third sister first: "Third sister, you and I have not been short for a short time, how much have you learned about the world's human feelings and etiquette?" β
The third sister was a little strange when she saw Ling'er's serious appearance: "Xiaowen, why are you asking this?" β
"If I ask you, you will answer, Aunt Lin entrusted you to me, and I will be responsible for you." Ling'er seems to be younger than the third sister and small in size, but she has two lifetimes of experience, and it is natural for the third sister to be a junior.
The third sister blinked and thought about it: "Still... Let's go! Only by following the young lady, there is no problem. β
Ling'er shook her head: "You can't follow me for the rest of your life, aren't you going to find your father?" β
The third sister thought for a while: "Yes! That...... Then I'll find my father and come back with you? β
Ling'er smiled: "Do you know who your father is?" β
The third sister shook her head: "I've been following you all the time, and you don't help me find it, how do I know." β
"I've got you covered."
"What? Where is he? β
"I don't know where he is now, but I know who he is and who can find him. Third sister, after I get married tomorrow, if you are kicked out by others, take the two hundred taels of silver to Cangping County to find Qi Liu, he knows where your father is. β
Ling'er brought a bag from the side, which contained silver tickets, scattered silver taels, and the third sister's daily change of clothes.
The third sister happily took it: "Okay, Xiaowen, I'll come back to you when I find my father." β
Ling'er pursed her lips and smiled, Chunqiao saw that the third sister was stupidly happy, but she didn't notice that Miss was different from before, they looked at each other and knelt down together: "The slave is willing to follow Miss for the rest of her life." β
Ling'er personally helped them up one by one, and her eyes stayed on each of them for a moment: "Chunqiao, I know that you are the son of the Ye family, and your parents are in the Ye Mansion, so it's useless to let you go alone, a few days ago, I went to ask the ancestor to let your father and sister follow me to get married, and by the way, I brought the deed of sale of your whole family." β
Chunqiao was surprised when she heard this, and she immediately knelt down again: "Thank you Miss for taking pity on the slave and maid, and save the slave and maid the pain of missing their relatives. β
Ling'er laughed and said, "It seems that you used to think a lot." β
"No, no, miss, that's not what I meant."
"I know, you get up, you have these deeds of sale, and these two hundred taels of silver tickets, after tomorrow, your whole family will be free, find a stable place to buy a piece of land and live a good life!"
Chunqiao was so shocked that she wanted to kneel down again, Ling'er supported her, and said with a smile: "How can you be free and easy to be a slave with someone, don't talk about anything else, I just need you to help me do good things tomorrow." β
Chunqiao bit her lower lip and looked at Ling'er with tears in her eyes, how could she not envy the family of a free body, but she knew that this was a luxury for a child like her, not only she was a slave, her parents and sisters were slaves, her husband and children were slaves, but she didn't expect that with this young lady who originally thought she was just a country girl, she would one day be able to get a free body for the whole family!
Then, Ling'er gave them the deed of sale of Qiu Chan and Qiu Ming, and also gave them two hundred taels of silver. Qiu Ming knelt on the ground and slammed his head: "Miss, the slave is sorry for you, Miss, you punish the slave!" β
Ling'er shook her head: "There's nothing to blame, didn't you just leak my news to the eldest lady?" β
Chun Qiao and the others were very surprised when they heard this, and Chun Qiao said sharply: "Qiu Ming, Miss is so good to you, how can you eat inside and out." β
Qiu Ming cried and kowtowed: "Miss, the slave maid was forced, but what the slave and maid said is insignificant, the slave and maid didn't reveal a word of Miss's plan, really, the slave swore to the sky." β
Ling'er said: "Okay, I believe in you, even if the eldest lady knows my plan, it doesn't matter, she will only be happier when she knows it, and maybe she will help me, why don't I do it!" β
"Miss!" Chunqiao, Qiucicada and Qiuming shouted in unison, as if they wanted to persuade her to change her mind, Ling'er waved her hand:
"That's all I can do for you, remember: tomorrow you have to do it according to my plan, or you're sorry for me, you know?" (To be continued......)
