137 Alliances
After preparing for a few days, they picked an auspicious day for the zodiac, and Zhao Rongzhao and Lu Siqi took the lead in leaving home and going to the capital. Until she left, Liu Zijin hadn't gotten out of the dead end, and Zhao Rongzhao didn't go to see her because she wanted her to reflect calmly, but it made her go farther and farther down the road and embark on a road of no return.
Before leaving, Zhao Rongzhao went to see her, the lovely child who does not eat fireworks in the world in her memory, and is like a fairy, can no longer see a trace of her figure on Liu Zijin today, and she is just a little woman who is full of resentment about life.
Zhao Rongzhao didn't go in the end to say goodbye, stood at the gate of the courtyard, looked at her from a distance for a while, turned around and left.
Liu Zijin has a stubborn temperament, Zhao Rongzhao has never come to her, she naturally can't pull her son to take the initiative to find Zhao Rongzhao, and believes that Zhao Rongzhao will come to reconcile with her first, she just needs to wait quietly as before, clinker and so on, just wait for the news that Zhao Rongzhao and Lu Siqi went to the capital together.
When Liu Zijin heard this, she smashed all the things that could be smashed in the house, cried all night, dried her tears, and broke her heart, and she couldn't wait to rush to Zhao Rongzhao immediately, asking him why he did this, and why he didn't even tell himself if he left.
Since the last incident, the door of Grandma Song's place has been closed to her forever, and it is difficult for her to even get out of the second gate, let alone chase Zhao Rongzhao and Lu Siqi on the road to Beijing.
In this family, she is like a dispensable, no relatives, no friends, the host is not counted, and the guests are not as good, she doesn't know what kind of identity she is in the Zhao family.
She smashed everything in the yard that could be smashed, and the servants didn't give her new decorations except to clean up the garbage. The whole wing room is empty, except for large objects such as tables, chairs and benches, there is nothing else, and now everyone in this family treats her as air, and she will not beg others with a shy face, that is not her character.
When the second aunt appeared in her yard, Liu Zijin was still in a trance. I thought I was hallucinating.
"Yo. Zijin, why is your yard so empty? Thief? The second aunt walked in waving a handkerchief and looked around the room.
"Who are you?" Liu Zijin looked her up and down. I don't know who she is.
The second aunt twisted her waist and stepped forward, and said with a smile: "I am your father-in-law's second room, and everyone in this family calls me the second aunt." β
Liu Zijin looked at her coldly and sat lazily in front of the dresser. He didn't plan to get up to greet him, and said unexpectedly: "Oh." The second aunt is here, and I don't know what to do. β
The second aunt didn't care about her, she found a place to do and sat down, and said, "You." It's really similar to when I was young, my heart is high, and I can't pull my face. Always waiting for a man to bow his head to himself, heh! It's ridiculous to think about. β
"Second aunt come up to me. Do you want to preach by example? Sorry, I'm not in the mood to listen today. Liu Zijin crossed Erlang's legs, swallowing melon seeds, and talking to the second aunt with or without a pair.
Since the bankrupt sent the third girl to get married, the second aunt has been restrained for a while, she used to rely on her mother's money and often stepped on people, but now the wall is down and everyone pushes her, and no one in the whole big house is willing to take care of her, and she is also an isolated one, and Liu Zijin has some sympathy for the same disease.
As the saying goes, it's easy to put icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow, the second aunt also knows that Liu Zijin won't believe herself for a while, and she didn't have the attitude that she can be wooed immediately, the road has to be walked step by step, and the meal has to be eaten in one bite, so she said: "Okay, if you don't like to listen to it, forget it, I see that your house is also empty, and I will ask someone to send you some ornaments and objects when you turn around, if you are in a good mood in the future, you might as well go to my place and walk around, I am also alone all day long, bored and tight." β
After speaking, the second aunt led her maid and mother-in-law away.
Liu Zijin shook Erlang's legs, rolled her eyes disapprerovingly, and didn't take it to heart at all.
In the afternoon, the people in the second aunt's house really sent a lot of objects to furnish them, and they were all things that could be put on the table, Liu Zijin was a little surprised, she didn't say anything, and let people accept all the things that were sent to the door, there was no reason not to accept them.
After sending the things, the eldest girl next to the second aunt handed the list to Liu Zijin, and said respectfully: "Our aunt said, entering the door is also fate, if there is anything needed in the future, let people come to our side to say a word, can help, our aunt will never refuse, if the second aunt Liu is free, you can also come to our side from time to time to sit." β
Liu Zijin took the gift list, threw it on the drawer behind her, and said, "Thank you for me, auntie, just say that I will go over to see her when I am free another day." β
The maid smiled, nodded, and said, "I know, the slave will tell our aunt, does Aunt Liu have any other orders?" If not, the slave and maid will go back to their lives. β
"Nope." Liu Zijin smiled rarely, turned around and instructed his maid Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, you go and send them." β
Grandma Song listened to it and said disapprerovitically: "It is reasonable that the smell of two rat feces is the same, and they can't set off any strong winds and waves, so they will be clowns who jump off the beam." β
Grandma Song has high hopes for her son this time, counting on her son to be named on the gold list, and at that time, she will be able to leave her ancestral hometown, and with Zhao Rongzhao to live in the place where she took office, as long as she does not settle in the capital, the group of concubines in Dafang can only live in her ancestral hometown, and she will be able to live a comfortable and comfortable life.
She has confidence in her son, and even Liu Zijin tolerates her disrespect to herself, in order not to affect Zhao Rongzhao, and now the affairs of this family, as long as they don't involve herself, she doesn't bother to take care of it.
As soon as Lu Siqi left, it was Fang Fei's turn to be in charge again, and the ancestor considered that her body was still a little weak, so he asked the second girl to help take care of some trivial things.
Several girls in the family, the eldest girl and the third girl are all married, and the fourth girl has a bad reputation, and was sent to the cleaning hall by the ancestors to reflect on it.
The second girl is not young, she is a talented woman, and her talents are good, but she only lost on the body, but fortunately, there is a big man who hurts **, and among the girls in the big house, she is the most favored one. The eldest lord began to pay attention to the marriage for her in the early years, and picked many people to let the second girl pass by, if she fell in love with someone, she asked Grandma Song to record her in her name and marry as the second daughter, this is still the first person in the family, and Grandma Song also agreed.
A qiΔ is ready. But the second girl has not been able to marry so far. The problem is not in the eldest lord or Grandma Song, but in herself, she can be described as a literary talent. Defeat is also lost in literary talent, girls who have read too many books, always fantasize about having a romantic ** love depicted in the book, and the marriage contract of those parents' orders and concubines. In her eyes, it seemed unbearable, even disgusting. This led her to get older and older, but the marriage has never been settled.
In the past two years, the eldest man has believed in the Buddha and often likes to run to the temple. One stay is ten days and half a month, and this time, it is half a year. So far, he has not returned home, and he prays for the blessings of his children and grandchildren. Even the old ancestor is not easy to say anything, let alone let him return home.
Now, even if she is no longer naΓ―ve and no longer expects to meet the romantic ** love depicted in the book, no one will take care of the marriage for her.
The fourth aunt saw that her daughter was getting older and older, and the other girls in the family had a home, only the girl in her own family was missing, and the eldest man was not at home, so she had to pull down her face and beg Grandma Song, begging her to help her girl pay attention to the marriage.
The second girl is now nineteen, and Zhao Wanrong, who is the same age as her, has been married for several years, and at her age, it is already very embarrassing, fifteen or sixteen young people can't look down on older than themselves, and more than twenty years old, either they value fame or the woman's family background, and it is actually useless to ask Grandma Song to come forward in this marriage, unless it is to choose from Grandma Song's own mother's house.
But Grandma Song to the fourth aunt, that is more than the third aunt and the second aunt are not welcome, Zhao Rongzhao was enlightened late when he was a child, but the second girl is a smart girl, the eldest master often teaches Zhao Rongzhao, compare him with the second girl, Grandma Song has no other way than to feel distressed on the side, she can only hate the fourth aunt, over the years, even if the fourth aunt is low-key, does not fight or grab everywhere, and is careful with her tail between her legs, Grandma Song has never given her a good face.
Her own maiden family is a big family of several generations, the son of the descendant has already married, and the one who has not married has already made a marriage contract, she wanted to marry Zhao Wanrong to her mother's family, but she didn't find the opportunity, not to mention that the second girl is a concubine, it is absolutely impossible to marry into the descendant, but the concubine is still okay, and there are many nephews of the right age.
The second girl's character and talent are still very good, Grandma Song doesn't want to see her, and it's just because of the early years, now the second girl Taoguang is obscure, no longer in the limelight everywhere, and uses literature to suppress the children in the family, Grandma Song's prejudice against her in the early years is gone, if it is someone else, Grandma Song may also respond to this matter, and really go to her mother's house to pull the strings, but now the fourth aunt is coming to the door, and Grandma Song is full of unhappiness.
"Didn't the master say it, the marriage of the second girl in your family has its own master in charge, and now you come to me, don't you have an opinion on the master."
The fourth aunt was already timid, and when she heard Grandma Song say this, she knelt down and hurriedly explained: "Grandma, where do I dare to have an opinion on the master, I just saw that the master has not returned home for more than half a year as soon as he goes out, and I also see that the second girl is getting older and older, and it is becoming more and more difficult to find her mother-in-law, so I thought about begging the grandmother." β
"The master has his own plans, and it's useless for you to beg me." Grandma Song was determined not to help, so she picked up the tea bowl and had the meaning of sending off guests.
The fourth aunt hurriedly took out a letter from her sleeve pocket, handed it to Grandma Song with both hands, and said, "Grandma, it's not that I want to trouble you, but the master's meaning, you will understand this letter when you read it." β
Grandma Song glanced at the fourth aunt suspiciously, and after a while, she gently pinched the edge of the envelope, and took it to see that the handwriting on the cover was really the eldest master's......
In the past few months since the eldest master left home, in addition to writing a letter to the ancestor to report his safety, he has never written a letter to the people, but now the fourth aunt has taken one out, and Grandma Song is very uncomfortable, so she rudely tore open the seal that was not closed and shook out the letter inside.
The content of the letter is nothing more than that the eldest aunt confessed some daily events, saying that he could not return home in a short time, but the marriage of the second girl could not be delayed any longer, so let the fourth aunt come to find Grandma Song and let her come forward to go to the marriage of the second girl Zhang Luo, maybe the eldest man did not expect that the fourth aunt would show the letter to Grandma Song, except for asking her to come to Grandma Song and the marriage of the second girl Zhang Luo, the letter did not mention a word about Grandma Song.
After reading the letter, Grandma Song's hands pinching the edge of the envelope were trembling, but she still held back her anger and said in a calm tone as calmly as possible: "Since this is what the master meant, then I will do it, and I will naturally pay attention, you go back first, and when there is news, I will let people know you." β
Seeing that she finally agreed, the fourth aunt didn't dare to say anything more, so she hurriedly stood up and said timidly: "Then I'll go back and wait for the news first, there is Grandma Lao." β
"Wait!" After she had walked a few steps, Grandma Song suddenly spoke up and said, "Take your letter back." After speaking, he slapped the letterhead and cover in his hand on the table beside him, and got up and went back to the inner hall.
The fourth aunt was about to say thanks, but when she saw her leave, she didn't want to say anything more, so she stepped forward to put away the letter and went back to wait for the news.
The reason why the eldest lord asked her to come to Grandma Song was because he fell in love with Grandma Song's maiden family, which is a big family that has been passed down for dozens of generations, even if she marries a concubine, she can eat and dress without worrying about it for a lifetime, no worse than the mother of a small family, and the concubine is married to a concubine, which is also considered to be the right family.
The crux of the problem is only whether Grandma Song is willing to help with this favor and pull the strings for the second girl to her mother's house.
But the fourth aunt really couldn't pick a good time to come over, this season, whether it is the children of a big family or a small family, those who have not taken the exam are busy studying and preparing for the exam, and the children of the Zhao family are also about to go to Beijing to take the exam together, and the children of the Song family are naturally not excluded, and they all organized a group to go to Beijing.
Grandma Song only mentioned casually in the letter to her mother's family, and in the reply letter received, she naturally did not get a serious reply, but it was just to perfunctory the fourth aunt, after receiving the reply, even if someone called the fourth aunt over, and explained to her that the school-age children of the Song family had gone to Beijing to catch the exam, and they had no time to take care of the marriage, so they had to wait until the list was released before making a decision.
The fourth aunt just wanted to say that when she waited for the list to be released, Grandma Song said again: "Your second girl is indeed not young, and if you drag it out for a day, you will get old for a day, so let's do it, I will give your second girl Zhang Luo Zhang Luo near here."
