Chapter 357: Settle down

After getting along for more than 20 years, Murong is very clear about his mother-in-law's temperament, although Mrs. An's appearance is not very obvious, but Murong can see that her mother-in-law is very satisfied with Wei Xing.

It's just that there are many famous sons of families who have come to the Hou Mansion to ask for marriage over the years, and there are several who have satisfied Mrs. An, but An Ruolan never nodded, this time, Murong thought she would still refuse.

In addition, although he was very anxious about the marriage of his heir, the Murong family was not very happy to marry An Ruolan into the Weiguo Mansion.

The most important thing in Shengjing City is the famous family, compared with many people who came to ask for relatives before, although the Weiguo Mansion has a higher title and is more liked by the emperor, but in terms of the foundation, the Weiguo Mansion is still slightly inferior after all.

The An family is a scholarly family, and the girls all grew up studying calligraphy and painting and reading poetry, which is really not compatible with the reckless Wei family.

Murong thought in his heart, he always felt that something was wrong, so he didn't ask An Ruolan's opinion first, but talked to Mrs. An about the worries in his heart.

"Not to mention that the ambition of Wei Xing is to fight on the battlefield, my daughter-in-law heard that the generals are irritable and rough, and they will do it if they don't agree with each other, and the daughter-in-law is worried that Sister Lan will suffer if she marries into the Wei Guo Mansion." Murong said worriedly.

Hearing this, the old lady smiled dumbly and said, "You have also seen the guard, do you think he will be a barbaric and unreasonable man who does things to women?" ”

"This ......," Murong hesitated, "I can't see it now." ”

"You know, you can't tell." The old lady smiled, "Not all military generals are rude, they like to beat people at will, and not all literati are polite, behind closed doors, do you know which family will do it to their wives?" I don't know, even if I was beaten, those ladies wouldn't come out to say it. ”

Murong listened and nodded in agreement, this matter is really hard to say.

After a pause, he said: "But Weiguo Mansion is not a family that the nobles of the family can afford after all, if Sister Lan becomes his daughter-in-law, will she also be looked down upon?" ”

This is what she is most worried about, first, she is worried that Sister Lan will be looked down upon, and second, Sister Lan is an heir after all, if she marries badly, outsiders will rarely say that she favors one over the other and does not care about her heir. I'm afraid Sister Jin will also have to be picked up by those broken mouths and said.

The old lady knew her thoughts, and said: "If you have the ability, no one can look down on you, if you don't fight and can't live, even if you marry the king of heaven, you have to be laughed at." Don't think about it so much, just prepare the dowry with peace of mind, and the old woman is still sitting here. ”

The implication is that with me, even if outsiders talk about it, she will be in front of her.

Murong was a little relieved in his heart, but he still hesitated: "What my mother said is reasonable, it's just that Sister Lan doesn't nod her head to allow the family, this time the Weiguo Mansion is worse than many families in the past, and the daughter-in-law is worried about ......."

"You don't have to worry about that." The old lady interrupted her with a smile.

Murong was stunned, and her mother-in-law's look made her faintly have a conjecture.

Her eyes widened in shock and said, "Could it be ......?"

"Alright, let's get busy." The old lady interrupted her again, waved her hand and smiled at her.

Murong had to put away his surprise and retreat in a trance.

That night, Murong couldn't sleep, she couldn't sleep, she shook An Shiting awake, and talked about the matter of the Weiguo Mansion's courtship.

She said: "Although my mother and Sister Lan agree to this family business, I still think it's inappropriate, that Weiguo Mansion is not an ordinary family, if one day she loses her favor and is relegated to the Northeast, what should Sister Lan do?" ”

The summer night was boring and hot, An Shiting finally fell asleep, and was sleeping comfortably, but he was woken up by his wife, not to mention how depressed he was.

Hearing this, he said in a daze: "Where are you worrying so much, Lan'er's temperament is not clear to you, since she is willing, it means that she has already thought clearly and has her own plans." ”

"But after all, she is young, she is blinded by emotion for a while, and it is normal to be confused, and besides, she is a child, how can she think about things in such a long time? If not, what do we elders do? You, a father, can't afford not to worry about it at all. Murong said angrily.

Hearing the dissatisfaction in her words, An Shiting reached out and patted her on the back, and said comfortingly: "What you said makes sense, but think about it, if Lan'er's temperament is not the one she wants, do you think she will be willing to marry?" Besides, although I don't know much about Wei Xing, I also know that he is a young man who values love and righteousness, is honest and steady, and has a lot of responsibility. ”

Only then did Murong remember that Duke Wei Guo and Wei Xing had saved her husband's life.

I want to come to the husband who has been with Wei Xing, and I can't be mistaken.

After a pause, she sighed: "Since you all feel that there is no problem, I won't worry about it, Ming'er asked Sister Lan, and I can give Duchess Weiguo an answer." ”

An Shiting patted her arm again and said, "Go to sleep, it's not early." ”

Murong nodded, and the couple fell asleep.

An Ruolan only found out afterwards that the Duchess of Wei Guo took Wei Xing and Wei Shao to the door, and she vaguely guessed the purpose of the mother and son going to the house, and couldn't help blushing and heartbeating.

It's just that there is no news from my grandmother and my heir, and while she is happy, she can't help but be a little anxious and worried.

I was worried that my mother would not agree.

This marriage has always been decided by her parents, and although her grandmother has made the decision for her, she is also worried that her heir will oppose it or dislike it.

Because she wants to be blessed by her loved ones.

Except, of course, grandfathers.

It was because she came together this morning, she didn't have any energy, and even the stalk rice and jade round porridge that Liu specially boiled for her, she only drank a few sips, no matter how everyone persuaded her, she didn't want to use chopsticks again.

After breakfast, she was in a hurry to greet her mother, because she wanted to take the opportunity to find out.

It just so happened that An Shiting had come back from the court and was having dinner, and the couple saw her coming over in a hurry, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.

"Father, mother." An Ruolan bowed, lowering her eyes to cover the anxiety in her eyes.

An Shiting asked her to get up and asked kindly, "Have you had breakfast?" ”

An Ruolan used his head, and a pair of eyes rolled slightly, and he glanced straight at Murong Clan.

Seeing this, Murong couldn't help but laugh and said with a smile: "You came at the right time, and my mother just has something to discuss with you." ”

An Ruolan's heart suddenly lifted, and she pretended to be calm and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

I didn't know that the flush on her face betrayed her, and the faint blush of her face knew what she was going to say next.

Seeing her shiny and expectant little eyes, Murong had a rare idea of teasing her, exchanged a look with her husband, and said: "That's the case, a few days ago, Jiangnan sent a letter, saying that Sister Yan'er was pregnant, and your second aunt wanted to go over to take a look, so your grandmother and I thought about letting you accompany your second aunt to Jiangnan." ”

"......" An Ruolan was stunned, and her mind instantly became blank.

"What? You disagree? Murong couldn't help but laugh, pretending not to see the blow in her eyes.

An Ruolan suddenly came back to her senses, waved her hand again and again, and said, "How come!" I'll go, I'll go! ”

Sister Yan was married for more than two years before she conceived a child, such a happy event, of course she had to go over and take a look.

"That's good." Murong clan's jaw head.

An Ruolan waited, and when she saw that she didn't speak again, she finally couldn't hold it back, pinched her fingers, and asked tentatively with a dry smile: "Mother, do you have anything else to tell me?" ”

This pitiful appearance made An Shiting and Murong couldn't help laughing.

An Shiting laughed and said: "Look at your anxious appearance, you didn't have a good taste when you wanted to come to breakfast, come, sit down and use some more." ”

The green eagle covered her lips and smiled and agreed: "The prince is like a god, and the young lady only drank a few mouthfuls of porridge for breakfast. ”

The crisp and soft voice caused An Shiting to turn his head to look over, sensing his gaze, and the green vulture hung his head shyly.

An Shiting was a subconscious action, but he didn't want to see her react like this, and he suddenly realized in his heart. didn't make a sound, just silently looked away.

This little episode didn't go anyone's attention.

An Ruolan was seen through his thoughts, smiled wryly, and disguised: "The weather is too hot, so I have a bad appetite." ”

Murong glanced at her with a smile, and did not expose it, and said, "Why don't you sit down and eat some more together." ”

With his eyes, he motioned to his subordinates to come up with a new bowl of porridge, and then took another set of dishes and chopsticks.

An Ruolan couldn't shirk it, so she had to sit down obediently and eat together.

After drinking the millet porridge in front of him absentmindedly, and sitting dry to watch the maid clean up the table, Murong suddenly said: "There is one more thing, I think you have also heard, yesterday Duchess Wei Guo came to the door with Young Master Wei and Miss Wei, and she came to ask for a kiss." ”

Hearing this, An Ruolan, who was still slumped, raised his head suddenly, staring at people with bright eyes, and almost gave birth to a tail to wag it.

Murong finally couldn't hold back a smile and said, "I saw what your grandmother meant, she agreed, and I didn't have much thought, so I asked you, can you agree?" ”

Of course I agree!

It doesn't get any better than that!

An Ruolan shouted in her heart, but she couldn't shout it unscrupulously, otherwise she would frighten her father and mother.

Trying his best to suppress the joy rolling in his heart, An Ruolan pretended to be indifferent and said: "It's all up to my father and mother. ”

Murong couldn't cry or laugh, daring to love this girl and thinking that she didn't know anything!

Glancing at her, Murong said, "In that case, it depends on what your grandmother means." ”

In the end, it was according to her meaning. But think about it, the girl's family should be reserved, even if she has already liked the other party, she can't do it arbitrarily, let alone show it at will, otherwise it won't sound good when it spreads.

Although it is euphemistic, this family business is basically done.

But the Murong clan had new troubles.

After An Ruolan's footsteps were light and he left in a hurry, Murong said to An Shiting: "I'm worried that my father won't agree now." ”

If you want to say who in the Wenxin Marquis Mansion is most disgusted with the Weiguo Mansion, it must be the old marquis, not to mention marrying the Weiguo Mansion, I am afraid that if you are in the same room with the people of the Weiguo Mansion, the old marquis will feel that he has lost face.

An Shiting also knew his father's temperament, and after a deep sigh, he said: "On my father's side, my fifth brother and I will find a way, even if it is the fifth aunt's side, you also have to inform it." ”

After all, Meng is Lan'er's "biological mother." ”

Murong shook his head and asked, "When will the fifth uncle come back?" ”

"It's coming, my mother sent a letter, and the fifth brother should be back soon." An Shiting sighed.

Murong knew why he sighed, and clapped his hand as a comforter.

An Shiting gave her a relieved smile, suddenly remembered, and said, "The maid who followed Lan'er just now, I remember serving in your room before?" ”

Murong thought about it, only to realize that he was talking about the green vulture, and said with his chin bowed: "That maid is called a green vulture, what's wrong with her?" ”

An Shiting didn't say it explicitly, but said: "I see that she is also old, you can choose a suitable husband for her, and in the future, when Lan'er gets married, she will stay in the house." ”

Although Murong didn't quite understand, he still nodded.

Then, he went back to the old lady's words.

"Mother, the daughter-in-law has discussed with the prince, the prince has responded, and the daughter-in-law has no dissatisfaction with Sister Lan, plus the Weiguo Mansion is so sincere, do you think you deserve this family business?"

It's one thing to think in your heart, it's another thing to talk about it, even if it's an ironclad thing, you have to go through the process of talking about it, and Murong is going through the motions.

The old lady bowed her head with satisfaction and said, "Since you have no opinions, when I ask the Hou Ye what he means, let's settle the matter." ”

Referring to this most critical and final link, Murong was a little apprehensive, and bowed his head.

An Shiting first mentioned to the old marquis about the matter of the Weiguo Mansion's courtship, but as he expected, the old marquis refused and did not allow him to mention it again.

During this time, the old marquis was addicted to alchemy, and everything in the house was in charge of An Shiting, An Shiting thought that he would listen to a few words of persuasion from him, but he didn't want to be blasted out of the door just after he got up.

Helpless, An Shiting had to wait for the old marquis's favorite An Shiyan to come back before making plans.

When the old lady heard that An Shiting was kicked out of the door, her eyes were vague and inexplicable.

She twisted the jade Buddha string in her hand, and instructed Mama Song: "I see that Hou Ye's body is almost better, and Xuanming Monk should also retire, you go and mention it to Xuanming Monk, and say thank him for taking care of Hou Ye during this time, and I won't disturb his cultivation later." Then you go to the treasury and fetch some silver, and give it to the Xuanming monk as a coil for the wandering party. ”

With that, he took out a note from his sleeve.

Mama Song quickly took the note and nodded yes.

On the second day, Xuanming mentioned to the old marquis that he wanted to leave Youfang.

The old Hou Ye kept it again and again, and the Xuanming monk only said: "The poor Tao was originally read in the Hou Ye's heart, so he came here to preach the scriptures and teach the Tao, but I don't want the Hou Ye to fail to understand it thoroughly, and the poor Tao can't enlighten you, so I don't dare to stay any longer, so say goodbye!" ”

The old marquis had just realized the benefits of the elixir, so he was willing to let him go, and said reverently: "The disciple is stupid, he doesn't understand the deep meaning of the layman's words, and I hope that the layman will point it out and give the disciple another chance!" ”

Xuanming monk shook off the dust, recited the Taoist number, and said: "Hou Yechen's heart is not over, and he can't really let go of the troubles of the world, so even if he continues to cultivate the Dao Law, he can't make any further progress." Poor Dao just didn't want Hou Ye to waste any more time. ”

Hearing this, the old marquis suddenly realized and said, "Thank you for the layman's order, the disciple understands!" ”

immediately summoned the entourage and instructed: "Go and tell the prince that in the future, he will be in charge of the affairs of the front yard, and the old lady will be in charge of the affairs of the back yard, so you don't need to ask me again." Remember, it's anything! ”

He emphasized the three words "anything". R1152
