Chapter 797: Ask for a Marriage
When Chu Mingxin's post was delivered to Du Mansion, Du Mansion's disciples were very surprised to take the post from the people of King Lu's Mansion, "This is the invitation from your tenth aunt and grandmother to our second young master?" ”
It is a good or bad errand in the Lu Wangfu, the King of Lu has always been very elegant, and even the people with him are also vassals and elegant, and the one who took this errand today is a young man in his early twenties, thin-skinned, and when he was asked by the doorman of Du Mansion, his face turned red first.
My aunt and grandmother are reconciled and divorced, but the second young master Du has a wife, and the tenth aunt and grandmother want to invite the second young master Du to paint for her at home, outsiders may not understand, but who in the Lu Wang's mansion doesn't know, what they really admire in their hearts is that?
This kind of thing can't be concealed, waiting at the bottom, who is not a human spirit, and the husband and wife of the world are easy to coax, Mrs. Xiuning Aunt was half-coaxed and half-deceived by the tenth aunt and grandmother, and never avoided them, these subordinates, in the eyes of their superiors, these waiting subordinates are no different from furniture, when someone speaks, will they avoid the furniture in the house?
Du Fu's doorman looked at him like this, smiled, and handed the post back, "This little brother, I'm really sorry!" Our second young master is a gentleman who lectures too much, not a painter who specializes in painting in a calligraphy and painting shop, if Aunt Chu wants to invite someone to paint, she just needs to go to the calligraphy and painting shop to invite a painter. ”
After speaking, he politely invited people out, the young man was a little confused, and he didn't react for a while, and when he came back to his senses and hurriedly walked two steps, he wanted to say something to the door again, but he heard someone in the door sneer, "It's really self-righteous!" What do you think of our second young master! ”
"Silence, beware of people hearing it. I'm going back and suing you. ”
"Sue it! What are you afraid of her? Although the words were very hard, in the end the voice was lowered.
The young man sighed, went home with the invitation, and was pulled by the steward at the door before he entered the door.
In the end, this family is still headed by the prince and his wife, Chu Mingxin asked people to send the post out, and Mrs. Shizi received the news not long after, Mrs. Shizi was so angry, "What a wrong!" ”
If the daughter has a crush on someone else, she has more ways to get rid of the man's wife. to make way for my daughter. But she fell in love with Du Xiang's grandson Du Yunxun, when King Lu jokingly tried to say, Du Xiang's hard bone took his grandson to Fan's house that night, and made it clear that he would not give them face!
At the beginning, Du Xiang did not allow this family business. Now her daughter is no longer a yellow flower girl. It is even more impossible to want Du Xiang to nod. Besides, Du Yunxun has a wife and children and a harmonious family, why do you want to make trouble at home for Chu Mingxin? If it was someone else's daughter who wanted to marry her son like this, Mrs. Shizi would be very proud. But the woman would never be allowed to enter the door.
But the matter fell on her own daughter, and Mrs. Shizi only felt that the sky was about to fall.
As soon as she got the news, she immediately went to her husband, grabbed her husband's shirt and cried: "Hurry up, send Mingxin out of the door and stay away." ”
The prince didn't know what his wife was smoking at that time, but when he knew, his face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and he wanted to send his daughter out of Beijing, so that someone would have to calculate her again, and he didn't think she would be so angry!
He didn't understand, "What's so good about this Du Yunxun?" It's just that one face is more handsome than others! Oh yes, he's out of shape! Although in the eyes of King Lu, the scar on Du Yunxun's face is not worth mentioning, but for his wife and daughter, this can probably be regarded as a defect!
He doesn't understand, what kind of ability does such a man have, let his baby daughter be so obsessed and persistent, isn't he just a painter? I don't even have a serious official body!
However, compared to Yang Shiyilang, it is stronger, but the family did not block the family, and he was very kind to his wife, thinking of Yang Shiyilang's inconsistency, the son sighed.
Mrs. Shizi didn't understand either, but she knew one thing very well, if Chu Mingxin continued to mess around, it would not only be her own reputation that would be ruined, but also the reputation of Mrs. Shizi's granddaughters.
Although she feels sorry for her daughter, she is not the only daughter in the family, her daughter and Lili came back to live, and the concubines and daughters-in-law in other rooms kept saying small words, complaining inside and out, Chu Mingxin and after leaving, even with them were affected a lot.
First of all, the favored relatives are yellow, and the man's errand was disturbed by the Yang family's stumbling block, and even the business in their shop is not as good as before, which is also blamed on Chu Ming's heart.
If it's just like this, Mrs. Shizi doesn't take it to heart, these few concubines rely on them for food and clothing on weekdays, and when there is something to help, they shrink faster than people, and if there is any benefit, they rush to be stronger than people, and let them complain, but even the eldest daughter-in-law came to tell her with a sad face that she had told her about the children's family affairs with a handkerchief before, but as soon as the sister-in-law and the matter of separation spread, the in-laws of other families were not happy.
The daughter is a treasure, but the granddaughter is also a heart! Mrs. Shizi can be quite clear.
The husband and wife said okay, this matter was handed over to the eldest daughter-in-law to tell her daughter that she was the eldest sister-in-law, and this family would be handed over to her in the future, and this matter should be regarded as a test for her! If it is not done safely, she is also good at teaching it by hand.
As soon as the little guy who sent the post came back, he was called by the prince, and when he learned that Du Fu had returned the post, the prince breathed a sigh of relief, so he didn't leave the handle in the hands of anyone, but his daughter really couldn't stay in the capital anymore!
Grandma Chu took the messenger and couldn't stop sneering, and the servants around her were busy persuading her to hold on.
"What are you afraid of, they want me to do something for them now! Hum! "People say that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are right, and when she comes here, not only mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are right, but also sister-in-law.
Before Chu Mingxin left the cabinet, because she helped her mother-in-law and housekeeper, she used to be a sister-in-law in her eyes, but now she has ruined her own reputation, not to mention, and she is also tired of her children's marriage.
Seeing the eldest and young grandmother's leisurely waiting flowers and plants, the waiting maid and maid persuaded, "After all, it is the matter that Mrs. Shizi explained, you see, should you go and talk to the tenth aunt and grandmother now?" ”
"Don't worry, but I've got to get out."
The eldest young grandmother got up leisurely, changed her clothes and went to King Lu. The servants were all stunned, what is the young grandmother doing?
After entering the house, he and King Lu asked for a salute, and then pointed to Chu Jingshu, "Daughter-in-law Sun has something to say to her cousin." ”
King Lu nodded with a smile, "Go ahead!" Go ahead! She is about to leave the cabinet, and she is still staying with me all day, you take her to Haosheng to take care of the dowry, and you can help her palm her eyes and go to Dongjingguo. What is used is different from our Dayan. Look at what is missing, quickly let someone do it, don't go to the ground, don't ask for anything and don't have any grievances. ”
Chu Jingshu got up and was blessed. With a red face, she asked Grandma Chu to go back to the room with her.
The young grandmother talked to her a lot. He also told her his own guesses. Chu Jingshu listened quietly, and waited for the young grandmother to say that it was over, and then asked. "Since the eldest cousin guesses that there are people around the tenth cousin who have different intentions, why don't you tell the eldest aunt directly?"
"How so?" The young grandmother smiled bitterly, "We know we don't have bad intentions, but people don't believe us!" The young grandmother paused, and Chu Jingshu opened the food box on the table and invited her to have a snack.
"Sister, the snacks here are delicious." The young grandmother picked an almond shortbread to eat, King Lu loved his stepwife, and whatever was good was close to her, Princess Lu used to be her own daughter, but since Chu Xiuning was deposed as a concubine, she rarely returned to her parents' house, Princess Lu was very disappointed in her, so she put her mind on Chu Jingshu, the hard-working granddaughter.
In the palace, the chef in Princess Lu's small kitchen is the best at making all kinds of dim sum, and several children always clamored for it after eating it once, but it is really difficult for the young grandmother to open her mouth to Princess Lu, the mother-in-law.
Chu Jingshu smiled and asked people to put the snacks on the table into boxes, "Please let your sister-in-law bring these back for her nephews to eat!" ”
The eldest young grandmother smiled and thanked her, and the two sisters-in-law talked about a lot of things, and finally the eldest young grandmother mentioned her and asked her to personally invite Chu Mingxin to accompany her to Dongjingguo.
"Didn't my uncle politely refuse?"
"Whew! When they open their mouths, we naturally don't respond well, but it's different when you open your mouth, you marry Dongjing far away, and she is a sister who marries in person, and it is not in vain for your sisters! ”
Chu Jingshu nodded, "Sister knows!" Ming'er went to invite the tenth sister in person. ”
Only then did the young grandmother get up and say goodbye.
The sky was already dark, and the lights were dim, and the young grandmother held the maid's hand in a curling way, and went out of the yard, and the lantern leading the way swayed, dragging it into a fire dragon in the night, flickering and disappearing in the shadows of the trees.
Chu Jingshu held on to the door, staring at the lights near and far, flickering and flickering, as dark as her future.
Chu Mingxin sent someone to deliver the invitation, but there was no reply, she was so anxious that she walked around the house, and the people waiting were dizzy, but no one dared to come forward to persuade her.
And on the side of Du Mansion, the people who were sent away by the Menzi Mansion immediately reported to the chief manager, who shook his head and went to the small flower hall to report to Fan Anyang.
After listening to the words of the chief manager, Fan Anyang smiled, "He did a good job, he should be rewarded." ”
The chief manager breathed a sigh of relief, "How much do you think you want to reward?" ”
"Reward him with a month's monthly money, and add some to his family, which will bother the general manager." The chief manager happily agreed, and asked, "What if the second young master knows?" ”
"If the second young master knows about this, I'm afraid he will be so angry that he will jump to his feet." Fan Anyang covered his mouth and smiled, and Manager Du shook his head with a smile.
"I'll talk to him when I get back." Mr. Du smiled with relief.
Later, Du Yunxun returned to the house, sat on the kang with his hair scattered after bathing, and asked the maids to help him dry his hair, while he held his son to play, Fan Anyang asked people to put dinner on the table, he fed his son egg custard first, men are not as careful as women, he fed his son a few times, and always couldn't remember to blow cold first, and scalded Xiaoxu twice, the little guy was fine, his father wanted to feed him again, so he called and blew to his father, Du Yunxun glared at him angrily, blew at the spoon, and then fed him to eat.
Xiao Xu opened her mouth happily at this time, seeing that all the waiters in the room couldn't help laughing, Fan Anyang was afraid that her husband would be angry, so she hurriedly asked them to step down and serve their grandfather and son in person.
After eating, Xiao Xu snuggled in his father's arms, his little head was like a chicken pecking rice, Fan Anyang asked Yanxiang to carry him back to the room to sleep, and the little guy's hand was still holding his father's clothes tightly and not letting go.
"Forget it, leave him here to sleep a little deeper, and then let someone carry him back."
Fan Anyang was also reluctant to give up her son, nodded in response, and asked someone to remove the kang table where the food was set and serve another fragrant tea, so she patted her son sleeping on the kang and said to Du Yunxun that Chu Mingxin sent a post today and wanted to invite him to go to King Lu's mansion to paint for her.
Du Yunxun's face was gloomy and he didn't speak, and after listening to her finish talking about Menzi's disposition, he said, "He did a good job, he should be rewarded." ”
Menzi thought that he would be punished by the master for returning the invitation to King Lu's mansion, but he didn't expect to receive the reward, and his heart finally fell back into his stomach after mentioning it all night.
After Chu Jingshu said goodbye to King Lu and his wife the next day, she went to Chu Mingxin's courtyard, Chu Mingxin was losing her temper, Chu Jingshu's maid heard a louder scolding in the courtyard, and couldn't help but persuade her, "It's not the right time for us to come!" Or come back another day? ”
Chu Jingshu shook her head and insisted on going in, but the maids had no choice but to help her in.
Chu Mingxin was a little surprised when he saw her coming, "Why is my cousin here?" Chu Ming asked breathlessly.
Looking at the maids and servants waiting in a room with frightened and tearful faces, Chu Jingshu turned a blind eye and said to Chu Mingxin, "My sister is here to invite my cousin." ”
"Excuse me?" Chu Ming was stunned.
"Yes, I want to ask my cousin to marry me." (To be continued......)
