Chapter 48: Gambling (3rd Update, Pink 60+)
Lu Ruilan also did not want Xie Dongli to marry the daughter of the Zhang family.
It's not that she doesn't like Zhang Zhenqin, to be precise, she doesn't know much about Zhang Zhenqin, and she doesn't have likes or dislikes.
She just doesn't look down on the Zhang family.
Marriage between a man and a woman is a matter of two surnames, not a matter of two people, but a matter of two families.
Lu Ruilan didn't want to have anything to do with the Zhang family and become an in-law.
But this marriage was decided by her father-in-law before he died, and her husband Xie Dongyi also strongly agreed, so she did not explicitly oppose it.
But when she saw that Xie Dongli was unwilling, she was relieved.
Originally, she was still thinking about how to help Xie Dongli withdraw from her family with dignity.
It's okay now, they don't have to think about recruiting anymore, so they can take the opportunity to retreat quickly......
β¦β¦
Lu Ruilan said that she would leave, took two matchmakers, hugged two rulers, and went straight to Zhang's house, asking to see Zhang Shaohong's wife Zeng Huiyan.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles.
Ever since she learned about Xie Donglian's thoughts and planned to help him withdraw from his family, she has carefully inquired and pondered about the Zhang family, from Mrs. Zhang to Zhang Shaotian, the fourth master of Zhang.
So she came to Zhang's house and spoke directly to Zhang Shaohong's wife, that is, Zhang Zhenqin's mother, Zeng Huiyan.
"Mrs. Zeng, I came here today to ask you for something important." Lu Ruilan said while leaving tears, "Please do it!" β
Zeng Huiyan's heart sank, and his eyes flashed with prevarication: "I don't care about anything at home, if there is anything, you go and tell my mother-in-law." As he spoke, he wanted to get up and leave.
Lu Ruilan grabbed her arm, tears rained down, and said, "Mrs. Zeng, I beg you!" My little five is so sick that he is dying, and I, who is a sister-in-law, really can't do anything, I just want to make one last move, and marry Chongxi immediately, maybe he can get better. β
Zeng Huiyan was furious, pushed Lu Ruilan's hand away, trembled with anger, and said, "Your little brother-in-law is going to die, and he still has to marry!" - You're going too far! β
"Nope! My little five won't die! As long as Chong Xi is happy, he will definitely survive! Lu Ruilan choked up and said, knelt down for Zeng Huiyan, and begged bitterly: "Please!" Please! The life of my little five is in your hands! β
Zeng Huiyan's face turned red, and he shook his head and said, "No, no!" Absolutely not! β
During the pull, Mrs. Zhang's mother-in-law who put Zeng Huiyan next to her quietly went to Mrs. Zhang's yard to report the news.
"What? Mrs. Lu of the Xie family came to ask for favors, and asked Zhenqin to marry Chongxi? Old Madam Zhang squinted, "Do you really want to be happy?" β
"Just take a look. It is impossible for a slave or a maid to talk nonsense about such a thing. The woman hurriedly said, "It's still in the courtyard of the eldest lady." β
Old Madam Zhang thought for a while, got up and said, "Go, invite Mrs. Lu of the Xie family to come over and talk." β
β¦β¦
Lu Ruilan soon followed the mother-in-law from Mrs. Zhang to the courtyard where Mrs. Zhang lived.
Lu Ruilan plucked up the courage and said what she just said again.
Old Madam Zhang held her crutches tightly and said, "I heard that your little five got the 'waist dragon', can you still marry?" β
"I just want to be happy! Don't you remember that the second master of the Wang family was sick and dying, and he was happy? Lu Ruilan hurriedly said.
"The second master of the Wang family?!" Mrs. Zhang was very unsafe, "The daughter-in-law of the second master went to the market to buy it!" How can it be compared with our Zhang family! β
Lu Ruilan wiped her tears and said unhappily: "That second master didn't have a fiancΓ©e back then, so he went to the market to buy it." Our little five have been married since childhood, how can we go to the market to buy a daughter-in-law? Besides, since the second grandfather recovered from his illness, he didn't know how good he was to his wife, since he was sixteen years old, he was alone all his life, how could you not be like this? β
"Heh, you remember this. Why don't you say how many people are happy, and as soon as the bride enters the door, the groom is choked?! Zeng Huiyan followed and said, "Can you guarantee that your little five will be fine?" β
Lu Ruilan said angrily: "If it must be fine, why should I be happy?!" ββChong Xi is unlucky! β
"It's good to know, then don't force us." Zeng Huiyan refused to give in.
Mrs. Zhang listened to it for a long time, and remembered the situation when the first prince had to "wrap the waist dragon", and she remembered that it was a total of two days from the onset of illness to the death.
Xie Dongli is already the second day.
If he dies tonight, he won't have to marry tomorrow. If he doesn't die by tomorrow, he has a better chance of being alive.
Old Madam Zhang had a plan and said, "Mrs. Lu, since you asked for Chongxi, we also admit it." However, please give us two days to prepare a dowry for Qin'er, and let her marry in a beautiful way. β
Lu Ruilan's heart tightened, and she secretly said that it was bad, but at this time, she couldn't be stage frightened, so she had to bite the bullet and say: "No, two days is too long, at most tomorrow morning." β
"Tomorrow?!" Zeng Huiyan's voice was particularly sharp, "No! β
"Tomorrow is tomorrow!" Old Madam Zhang's dragon head crutch pestled on the ground, "Tomorrow evening, we will send Qin'er out!" β
The corners of Lu Ruilan's mouth couldn't help twitching twice, and she hurriedly bent down and bowed her head and said, "Thank you, Old Madam Zhang, for your success!" β
β¦β¦
Back at Xie's house, Lu Ruilan immediately went to Xie Dongli's courtyard and said to him anxiously: "...... The Zhang family agreed. β
"Agreed?" Xie Dongli was a little surprised, "Mrs. Zeng and Vice Minister Zhang both agreed?" β
"It was Mrs. Zhang who agreed." Lu Ruilan said with emotion, "Ginger is still old and spicy......"
Xie Dongli pondered for a long time and asked, "When did you get married?" β
"I said today, they refused, and asked for the day after tomorrow. Finally, take a step back and change it to tomorrow evening. β
Xie Dongli looked up at the sky and nodded slowly, "Okay, then tomorrow." β
"Do you really want to marry?" Lu Ruilan was dumbfounded, "You...... You're not without ......."
She already knew that Xie Dongli's "loinclothed dragon" was not real.
Xie Dongli took the medicine twice, and the rash had faded a lot.
No one else needs to know, though.
Xie Dongli said with a straight face: "Who said I didn't? I'm sick and dying, and I'm going to marry a wife, how can I not be sick? - Sister-in-law, go and prepare for the wedding hall, I want to take a good rest and strive to have the energy to visit the church tomorrow. β
Lu Ruilan glanced at him and warned him: "...... If the sedan chair really comes to the door, you have no way out. β
Xie Dongli nodded, "I can save it." So there will be no sedan chairs coming to the door.
With his understanding of the two members of the Zhang family, this family must not be able to get married.
β¦β¦
In the evening, everyone in the Zhang family knew that the third lady of the Zhang family, Zhang Zhenqin, the only concubine in the Changfang, was going to marry into the Xie family tomorrow.
"Mother, I won't marry! I'm not married! Zhang Zhenqin endured all the way, until she returned to her boudoir, and then hugged her mother Zeng Huiyan and cried into tears.
Zeng Huiyan hugged her and cried together, and whispered at the end: "Son, my mother understands, my mother will not let you marry." Your grandmother is obscure, and for the sake of the Zhang family, even you have to ride in it for the rest of your life. Don't worry, your mother won't let you marry Chong Xi and be a widow. β
"But tomorrow the sedan chair will come to the door!" Zhang Zhenqin said anxiously, "What can I do!" β
"It's fine." Zeng Huiyan looked left and right, "I have prepared a car for you, and I will park at the back door." There is also a baggage, which contains a silver ticket of 1,000 taels of silver, and you take it and go to your uncle's house to hide for a while. When Xie Wu is dead, you will come back. β
"Really?!" Zhang Zhenqin was overjoyed, "Mother, you really let me run away from marriage?!" β
Zeng Huiyan nodded, took the baggage, took Zhang Zhenqin to the back door, and quietly sent her to the car.
Zhang Zhenqin saw that she hadn't even seen anyone along the way, so she said very uneasily: "Mother, if my father knows, will he blame you?" β
"It's fine. Your father also knows, but he just pretends not to know. Otherwise, relying on me alone, how can I hide from the people of the Zhang family and send you out? Zeng Huiyan smiled and comforted Zhang Zhenqin, "This driver knows the way to your uncle's house, and he will arrive soon." β
