Chapter 3: Gossip
They were all thirteen or fourteen-year-old children, and they didn't have much to say goodbye to, and the maids waiting outside the house were all smiling when they heard bursts of laughter coming from the house.
The three of them laughed for a while, and Zhou Bingshen said to Cui Keyin mysteriously: "I heard that your eldest uncle said a kiss for you in the capital?" ”
Cui Keyin's eyes widened and said, "Really? ”
She hadn't really heard her grandmother mention it.
In the past two years, there have been quite a few people who have come to propose marriage, but my grandmother is very picky, and she must first see if it is the same family of cultivators and heirlooms; If not, it depends on whether it is a scholar; If the background is satisfied, it depends on how many brothers and sisters there are, the suspect with many brothers and sisters has a large family, for fear that she will marry and deal with these tired, there are few brothers and sisters, and the suspect's family is thin; The eldest in the ranks, she married to be a clan wife, and she had to work hard to preside over the middle feed; The ranking is small, and the suspects are pampered and have no responsibility; is not up or down, saying that her father doesn't love her mother, and she will be wronged if she marries. In short, all kinds of dislikes, and I haven't taken a fancy to anyone until now.
Zhou Bing nodded vigorously and said, "I listened to what my mother said when I gossiped with my father, saying that the poems are good and the six arts are also familiar, but I am older, as if I am in my twenties, right?" ”
Haven't married at such an old age? Cui Keyin was surprised and said, "How can grandmother like it, the eldest uncle is really playing the piano." ”
There is no shyness in the girl's family when talking about family affairs.
Zhao Yuanqi obviously heard Zhou Bing say it on the way, and said, "If grandmother and her old man don't agree, how can they let you go to Beijing?" ”
Zhou Bing hurriedly said, "Or is there something special about that person?" ”
The threshold of the Cui family is high, and no one in the Manqing River knows it, and if you want to marry Cui Keyin, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. In order to shirk her marriage, the Cui family didn't know how many people they had offended.
Cui Keyin thought for a while and said, "Or maybe the eldest uncle persuaded the grandmother. ”
If that person is really a talented man, he can become a great uncle in his career, and he happens to be from a family, and his conditions are excellent in all aspects, even if he is older, as long as he is old, it will hurt people, and his grandmother sees that she has been sluggish since she was a child, thinking that someone can love her like her father, and she will promise to come.
Zhou Bing and Zhao Yuanqi didn't think as much as she did, and the two of them looked at her with four eyes, expecting her to give an explanation.
Cui Keyin smiled: "What about the truth, I will write to tell you after I arrive in Beijing." ”
The two of them said in unison, "You have to be cautious. ”
Zhou Bing added: "You must not marry a little old man." ”
Zhou Bing and Cui Keyin are the same year, both fourteen years old, two months older than Cui Keyin, and the family is also taking care of her family. She felt that it was a terrible thing to marry such an old man.
Cui Keyin responded and said: "The family has always been open-minded in family affairs, if I don't want to, my grandmother won't agree." ”
The elders of the Cui family have always been open-minded in the marriage of their children, and after the adults of both parties like it, they will let the children touch the reef several times, and the parties are satisfied before the family affairs are settled. I'm afraid that her family affairs will have to be completed by her grandmother's palm.
Zhao Yuanqi said: "I hope so." ”
Cui Keyin understood that they were not just coming to reunite with her again because she was leaving tomorrow, but to remind her when they heard the news.
The two of them didn't go back until the time of the unitary, and before leaving, Zhou Bing hugged Cui Keyin and said, "I will miss you." ”
She tried her best to make a look of wanting to cry, but she couldn't squeeze out tears, so she had to flatten her mouth and make Cui Keyin laugh.
Seeing off the two, Cui Keyin went to Wutong Courtyard. After spending the maids, he leaned on Mrs. Zhang for a while, and said: "Outside it is rumored that my uncle told me about my relatives in the capital, and I seem to be unable to get married, and I want Baba to go to the capital to find my mother-in-law." ”
The smile on Old Madam Zhang's face froze, and she said, "Who told you?" ”
In other words, there is a real thing. Cui Keyin said: "Zhou Bing said. ”
Mrs. Zhang shouted: "Baozhu, go, please come over." ”
Mrs. Duan is the wife of Cui Zhenduan, the wife of the Cui family. She and the princess of Lin'an County are sisters. The princess of Lin'an County once begged to marry Cui Keyin for her nephew, but was politely rejected by Mrs. Zhang.
The orb waiting under the porch departed.
Old Madam Zhang told Cui Keyin in a low voice: "Your eldest uncle said that, I still have to see it with my own eyes to decide." It is said that it is the first and twelfth in the last subject, and there are people who have learned, and they are also good-looking, but they are a little older, and there are twenty ** this year. Your great uncle has been sent to pay for it. When you arrive in the capital, meet him. ”
She was only fourteen years old, a full double her age.
Cui Keyin responded and said, "If Zhou Bing doesn't say it, grandmother doesn't plan to tell me?" ”
Old Madam Zhang smiled and said, "You ghost elf, I know I can't hide it from you." ”
It's just that she is afraid that she will hear that she is going to discuss marriage, and she is reluctant to go to the capital, so she plans to be told by the Jiang family when she arrives in the capital. She was fine, not only did she know, but she also asked her in the face.
Cui Keyin smiled and didn't speak. Even Aunt Duan knew about it, and when it was spread outside, it might have been decided a month ago, so grandmother promised her to go to the capital.
Cui Keyin felt like she had been sold.
What kind of two-list jinshi, no matter how good it is, she doesn't want it anymore.
Bizhu came to ask if she wanted to add two more dishes, and since Cui Keyin came over, she naturally had dinner here.
Cui Keyin thought that she would never be able to talk to her grandmother like this in the future, so she lost her appetite and said, "No need, I'm not too hungry, just eat as much as you want." ”
Mrs. Zhang didn't agree, and said, "Of course you have to add it, you won't be able to eat my food here in the future." ”
As soon as Cui Keyin stood up, she sat down on her shoulders and said, "I'm going to sit out tomorrow, but don't just worry about hurrying and missing the night." ”
Cui Keyin sat down, answered "yes", and said, "I made a few snacks with red beans, I'll go and let someone pretend them, and I'll send them to Aunt Duan to taste them later." ”
"This kid," Xiao said with a smile, "You still have to hurry, don't keep it to eat on the road, what do you do to your eldest aunt?" Didn't you eat your snacks before? ”
Mrs. Zhang said: "Her maid is tinkering with this all day long." Since it is her filial piety, you can bring some over, and there is no food on the way, that is also her business. ”
The words made everyone in the room laugh.
Cui Keyin was able to get out. I had to listen to the maid's report that Mrs. Duan was gone before coming back.
Baozhu whispered to Cui Keyin: "Mrs. Duan's face was not very good-looking when she left. ”
Cui Keyin gently bowed her head, it's strange that she can look good.
She asked people to send two boxes of snacks to the big house, and Shen Lao'an sent some pickles, saying that she would eat on the way.
This night, unexpectedly, she slept superbly. The next day, I got up as usual, and when I saw the maids all with dark circles under their eyes, I couldn't help but say in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”
Lu Yingqiang smiled: "The first time you go out, are you a little apprehensive?" ”
It's just that the thought of leaving the place where I have lived for many years is a little apprehensive.
