Chapter 332: A Confusing Marriage Contract One

In the flower hall of the main house of the Pingliao Marquis Mansion in the capital, the lady of the Pingliao Marquis Xiuning is busy with housework, and in the hand-copying verandah outside the flower hall, the servants who are waiting for the errand, the matter or the errand are on the errand, gather together in twos and threes to exchange heads.

Now it is the eldest son of the old Pingliao Marquis, the old marquis and his wife retreated to the Beijing Wai Courtyard with her sick and weak son-in-law, and the few rooms out of the concubine were also divided according to the ceremony, and now the Pingliao Marquis Mansion is run by the Pingliao Marquis and his wife, but the Pingliao Marquis has been fighting with his father for many years, and he is not concerned about the general affairs, and he is all in charge of the wife.

Pingliao Marquis and his wife have a son and a daughter, and four concubines, because there is only one daughter, so it has always been the most favored, Dou Jingxian's beauty and inheritance of his grandfather's good dancing and writing temperament, known as the name of a talented woman, it is said that such a family background, should be the people who seek relatives, but so far, only people have tried one or two times, and there is no follow-up.

The county lord of Xiuning was in a hurry, and his heart must have been caused by his father-in-law's father on the battlefield back then.

After taking care of the family affairs absent-mindedly, the county lord of Xiuning took the maid's hand back to the inner room, and after sitting for a while, he heard a report that the eldest lady was coming.

The fifteen-year-old Dou Jingxian's face was full of anger and did not retreat, the county lord of Xiuning glanced left and right, and the big maids pulled Dou Jingxian's maid to bend their knees and retreat, and the county lord of Xiuning patted the couch next to him and let his daughter sit, "What's the matter?" Who made our eldest lady angry? ”

"Mother, did my grandfather really promise me to the lame son of Uncle Nanjing's family?" Dou Jingxian looked at her mother aggrievedly.

The county lord of Xiuning sighed and said, "Who are you listening to nonsense?" ”

"It's not Rao'er yet!" The Rao'er in Dou Jingxian's mouth refers to the concubine of the third room, if it weren't for the queen mother's horizontal insertion, it should be her father who is now in charge of the Dou Mansion.

Dou Jingxian is still young after all, and the girl in the boudoir is pregnant with spring, who doesn't want to marry a talented man with outstanding literary talents? Or a heroic hero? Or is it a talent with the emperor's blue eyes? But no one wants to marry a cripple who is not good at doing things! What if it's the eldest son of Uncle Nanjing? He has no power to restrain the chicken, and he is even bad at walking, let alone leading the troops, even if he walks like an ordinary person, he can't do it!

Dou Jingxian, who was born to be pampered in the palm of her hand, didn't want to marry at all. Uncle Nanjing is not as great as her father's military achievements, otherwise how could the emperor let her father inherit the knighthood, instead of her grandmother's son-in-law? Her mother is the lord of the royal family, and her maternal grandfather is the emperor's little uncle! He was of noble birth. Why do you want her to marry a cripple?

"Mother! What did my grandfather say when he was on the battlefield? Dou Jingxian shook her mother's arm, shaking the Xiuning County Lord for a while, she couldn't help but sink her face, "What are you fooling around, this kid?" When people say a few words, you just listen to the wind and rain, how did your mother teach you? You take her seriously, take everything to heart, and in the eyes of outsiders, what was originally nothing will become true! ”

The princess of Xiuning is the goddaughter of Yin. The cousins who were left in the garden by Dou Jingxian over there were indignant, "What! Pick us up, say no two words, just leave us here. Ran away on your own! What a cultured person! ”

Because the lord of Xiuning is a baby daughter, he asked the queen mother to ask two nurturing grandmothers to come to the house as offerings, Dou Jingxian is squeamish, and she refuses to learn after a few days of studying, and the concubines in the other rooms are hot, if you don't want to learn, then please teach our children!

Dou Jingxian was annoyed. I'd rather let the grandmothers be white-collar workers than let them teach others, and later stabbed these sisters from time to time for not learning the rules and not knowing the etiquette.

"Sister Rao, it's all you! It's okay to tell her what the lame man of the Mo family is doing! "In the past, when the old marquis was still there, the sisters in the other rooms were very polite and respectful to the concubine Dou Jingrao in the third room. But no knighthood, just like their father!

These girls are no longer as respectful to Dou Jingrao in the third room as before.

Dou Jingrao lowered her eyes and chuckled, "Don't talk about me!" Are you willing to marry into the Mo family? ”

Of course not! If you marry other sons of Uncle Nanjing's family, it's fine! Marry that little cripple? Tut! In the future, he did not have his share, and he was not good at doing it. He has to rely on his other brothers to feed him! How to support a wife and children?

Originally, the girl in the boudoir did not know sorrow, but her grandfather passed away, and the title was vacant for a long time, and finally the big house was profitable, although the third room did not get the title, but the old lady had a rich dowry, and the three rooms lived a much richer life than their families.

Speaking of family affairs, they are all the daughters of the Hou Mansion without separating the family, although it is not their father who inherits the title, after the separation, they are the daughters of the Pingliao Marquis, and the families who are willing to marry them have dropped more than one grade.

The girl in the second room had heard her mother and her confidant sigh, and she knew that she should have given the family affairs of their brothers and sisters while the old marquis was still there, and she thought that all the marriages that were stable nine out of ten had changed!

The little girls were complaining, and there was a commotion in the distance, Dou Jingrao asked the maid to go out to see, it turned out to be Dou Jianfu, the sister-in-law of the big house, who led his friends into the garden to play.

After listening to the maids' report, Dou Jingrao took a sip and led the maids to leave in a hurry, and the others also followed, and after walking a short distance, they heard the man laughing loudly, and someone shouted, "Didn't you say that there is a beautiful girl?" Why don't you see anyone? Brother Dou, don't take you to coax people like this! ”

"That's it, that's it! Brother Dou, if you didn't say that there was a beautiful girl at home, why would we come to your house if we were drinking well outside? Belch! The person who spoke belched, and several people next to him echoed drunkenly.

Dou Jingmei, who walked at the end, blushed, didn't know whether she was angry or ashamed, and walked quickly holding the maid's hand.

After returning home, the women complained to their elders.

In Nan Jingbo's mansion, Mrs. Nanjing Bo was wiping her tears with a handkerchief, "Child, it's better not to go, okay?" ”

"Mother, don't you want to see the child healthy and healthy, like ordinary people?" The young man sitting on the kang by the window asked patiently.

Mrs. Nanjing Bo lowered her head and wiped her tears, and a sturdy young man next to her got the signal of the young man on the kang, and hurriedly stepped forward to coax: "Mother, the eldest brother is blessed, it was the abbot of the Great Huguo Temple who told you, remember?" When the eldest brother was sick and endangered, it was the great monk who came to the rescue! ”

"I remember, of course I do." Mrs. Nanjing Bo said angrily, "I just can't bear it!" It's better for my mother to go with you! ”

"Mother, don't make trouble! I'm going to the doctor, you can come with me! Besides, the old lady in the house is still sick! ”

When Mrs. Nanjing heard her son talk about her mother-in-law, she was immediately shocked, Mrs. Mo was from an ordinary military family. When he married Nan Jingbo, he was only a hundred households, who knew that General Mo followed his old boss and rose step by step. The old lady was born in a declining family, and she looked down on the vulgarity of her daughter-in-law in her bones, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were natural enemies, and there was constant friction all day long.

"But you're alone, I'm not at ease!" Mrs. Nanjing Bo took her eldest son's hand and said.

"It turns out that in my mother's heart, my son is not a person, right?" The sturdy young man pouted and coquettishly, making Mrs. Nanjing Bo laugh, and the mother and son talked for a while, and then they heard that the old lady's maid came to invite Mrs., and said that there was a guest. Muffie left in a hurry.

"Big brother, is this medicine valley heir really so effective? Can it heal your leg? ”

"I don't know, my legs are good, that's all! I'd rather go and visit Mr. Yan, look at that painting. He motioned for his brother to unfold the scroll on the case.

Mo Yuhan glanced at it and exclaimed. "This is the painting that Mr. You brought a few days ago?"

"Well, it took a lot of effort for the gentleman to borrow it from King Cheng."

This painting is one of the funds raised by the auction on the same day, which was painted by Yan Chi and Shan Juecheng and others, and everyone has different painting styles, but it is wonderfully integrated into one picture, Mo Yuhao is not good at walking because of his leg disease. On weekdays, there is no pastime, just painting for self-entertainment, and his father saw this and invited Mr. You, a great painter in Beijing, to teach painting.

This time, Mr. You also got the news that the descendants of the Medicine Valley disappeared after performing miracles last time, but I heard that he recently returned to the Huzhou realm, and Mr. You is not good for his protΓ©gΓ©. I deeply regretted that I heard that a fool could be healed, so I wanted to ask Yan Chi to introduce him so that Mo Yuhao could treat his leg disease.

Mo Yuhao couldn't bear to brush off his husband's kindness, and also wanted to take the opportunity to go out of Beijing to have a long experience. Only then did he beg his grandmother to allow him to go to Beijing for medical treatment.

Although the old lady doesn't like her daughter-in-law, but she still hurts the eldest grandson, for many years the child has been very passive and unwilling to let the doctor diagnose and treat, now she finally figured it out, how could she refuse, goodbye to his second brother volunteered to accompany him, the old man was only happy in his heart, but he was still in love, and the grandchildren had not gone out, she missed the illness first! can toss the daughter-in-law vigorously.

When Fan Anyang's sister and brother arrived at Yan's house, Yan Yun was directing people to clean up the yard, and when they saw their sister and brother coming, they didn't have time to say hello, so they went directly into the studio to hand in their homework.

As soon as I entered the studio, I saw Senior Brother Shan playing chess with Mr. Yan, and the two sisters and brothers stood obediently on the side to watch the chess. The old gentleman pointed to a cage under the table and said to them.

Fan Anyang stepped forward to take a look, there was a nest of yellow velvet chicks in the cage, she raised her eyes and looked at each other on the small road, the master wants to raise chickens, and the countryside Zhuangzi will bring some back, can she afford to play chess with Senior Brother Shan and gamble on winning or losing in exchange?

"Huh? Why are there only two of you? What about normalcy? ”

"Brother Fuchang and Master Wei went to Meizhou and haven't come back yet! This is the painting he asked us to hand in for him before he went out. ”

Fan Anyang took out Du Yunxun's paintings, Yan Chi took them and looked at them slowly, "Well, there is progress, and the turning point here is much more pleasing to the eye!" It's a good tree, not a crooked-necked tree! Yan Chi pointed to a painting with more than a dozen branches on it for Shan Juecheng to see.

Shan Juecheng nodded, and said in his heart, thanks to the three dolls newly received by the master, they can endure hardship, but with the three of them poking, their children and grandchildren are inferior! However, looking at the master's requirements for the three of them, they were even harsher than those of himself back then, and Shan Juecheng couldn't help but have some inexplicable feelings in his heart.

"Sir, I just saw that Senior Sister asked people to clean up the yard, are there any guests coming?"

"There are old friends in the capital who are coming, well, his closed disciple is about the same age as normal, I don't know how to paint?" Yan Chi had friends from afar and was very happy, so Shan Juecheng asked who came?

Yan Chi thought for a while before he said, "Old man You! He is good at painting flowers and birds, especially birds, and he paints with a special aura! ”
