176 Sister Trail
Yuangen is still just a child, and Yun Ying has no intention of pushing too hard, and there is still some time before next year's academy registration, so let this child slowly comprehend.
After eating, Yun Ying listened to the sound of waves outside the courtyard wall, and frowned slightly; I'm afraid I won't be able to have a clean New Year.
Sure enough, not long after the afternoon, someone outside the courtyard shouted Yuangen's name, and the voice sounded like the old lady of the Dong family who was about the same age as Qiao Baisheng.
Luo Song is an outsider who is not good at going out to meet guests, so he stayed in the study to record what he has learned here in Yunying these days, Yuangen and Hu San hurried to the outermost courtyard, Man'er and Hu Die, the two little girls are not like Yunying began to have scruples, and followed behind to listen to the foot of the wall.
There are not many people who come, there are only two old ladies of the Dong family and Uncle Dong's grandson, although Yuangen is young, the etiquette is also considerate, and he invited the old lady Dong to sit down, Hu Sanshun took the teapot in the house and poured two cups of tea and put them on the table, but the tea was cold, and the old lady was afraid that she couldn't bear it.
"I don't know what Mrs. Dong ordered when he came to the door?" Under the influence of Yun Ying, Enne and Man'er also learn to hide their thoughts in front of others and maintain a humble and polite appearance.
Sure enough, the unhappiness in Old Lady Dong's heart that had just started because of the cold tea immediately improved because of Yuangen's sincere attitude, and she sighed and motioned to Dong Da, who was in the lower position next to her, to speak.
Dong Da and Guan Ping's father used to be righteous brothers, because they saved Guan Ping's father and injured a hand, they got a hundred taels of silver to compensate for the way of business, and over the years, they saved some money to make the Dong family one of the largest households in Lijia Village. But this is also limited to Lijia Village, compared to those merchants in Baijiaji. Dong Da's achievements are also insignificant.
And Dong Da, who has gone out, is more and more eager to go further. It's just that the Dong family, whether it is their generation or the next generation, doesn't have a single one who has a bright light in studying, and at this time, he regrets it very much why he offended Guan Ping in the first place? Now that Guan is in peace, even if he doesn't take the test next year, will he still be treated badly with the Li family's money?
Today, after getting the news of Guan Ping's return to the village, Dong Da hurriedly invited the old lady to go out of the mountain to sit at Guan's house for a while, and talked to Guan Ping for a while, which can be regarded as repairing the relationship. Guan Ping always brought the topic to Yun Ying as he spoke. After all, Dong Da and the old lady of the Dong family are so old. It didn't take long to guess Guan Ping's purpose. Dong Da patted his chest and offered to help Guan Ping to talk to the Qiao family, so that Yun Ying would join the Guan family as a concubine after Miss Li.
Guan Ping also had this thought, and immediately said with a smile on his face that he would introduce Yunyun, an elder who had taken care of him since childhood, to his father-in-law after he got married; Dong Da still didn't understand what he meant, and went out with Old Lady Dong without even turning a corner, and came directly to Yun Ying's house.
Since Guan Ping asked. Dong Da didn't hide it. Holding the elder's shelf, he said directly: "Yuangen." I remember that your sixth sister will be fourteen in the next year, and it is time for the countryside in this township to set a family affair. ”
Yun Ying should also set a family affair, and her reputation in Lijia Village was bad after the critical summer incident. In addition, the person is not very good-looking, and he does not know how to be a woman, and there is a scar at the end of his eyebrows, even if the Yang family let go, the matchmakers in several surrounding villages did not dare to take this job. Although Yuangen was also a little anxious in his heart, he would definitely not easily believe that the Dong family's grandfather and grandson would have good intentions, so he politely refused: "My father has just passed filial piety, and now although he doesn't have to follow the three-year filial piety, it is inconvenient to mention the marriage of my sister during the one-year filial piety period, and I hope Uncle Dong and Mrs. Dong will understand." ”
"Eh, this family affair is said to be done, it doesn't mean that you will marry your sixth sister immediately, why do you have to wait for the eldest lady to ......, uh, why do you have to wait for the filial piety period to do a happy event." Dong Dayi was so excited that he almost leaked his mouth, but fortunately, he came back temporarily and coughed lightly twice in embarrassment.
Hu San didn't like it when he saw his strange appearance, and stepped forward to fill the kettle filled with cold tea for him, which has the meaning of sending off guests in etiquette. It's a pity that he misestimated the comprehension ability of the peasants in the small mountain village, and this move had no impact on the Dong family's grandfather and grandson; On the contrary, Dong Da made up his mind and drank the cold tea, just in time to say the purpose of coming here today:
"That's right, your sixth sister was originally my Guan Ping's nephew's child daughter-in-law. You must also know that after leaving the Guan family, the reputation of the flower is not good, and it is rare that my nephew Guan Ping still has some affection for her and is willing to accept her as a concubine. After the filial piety period of your sister and brother expires next year, I will accept her as a daughter, and let your aunt Dong come to the door to give her a wedding face. ”
Bang –
As soon as his words fell, the kettle in Hu San's hand accidentally fell at his feet, and the cold water in the kettle sprinkled the instep of his foot. ”
"Uncle Dong might as well go home and soak his feet, our family is poor and has no firewood, and we have always only had cold water to entertain guests." It was Yun Ying who spoke, and after hearing half of it, Man'er and Hu Die hurriedly asked Yun Ying about the intention of the Dong family's grandfather and grandson. Although he knew that Hu San would never suffer a loss in Yuangen, it was a matter of himself, and Yun Ying also wanted to know who the Dong family's grandfather and grandson were mentioning.
I didn't expect the answer to be revealed so unbearable! How much affection? If you have this kind of affection, how can you do such a nasty thing by the river? It's also thanks to this Dong Da that he can speak, if he remembers it well, Guan Ping is the righteous son of his family, I think now that Guan Ping doesn't recognize this relative, this Dong Da will dig out his mind and plan to take her shortcut. Although she Qiao Yunying pretends to be crazy and stupid on weekdays, it doesn't mean that she can be used as a stepping stone at will.
When the main lord appeared, Dong Da and Mrs. Dong were originally happy, who knew that Yun Ying planned to send off the guests with a cold face, and Old Lady Dong couldn't help but feel that she couldn't hold her face, and her face sank suddenly; "Is it true that Old Man Qiao is gone? This Qiao family doesn't understand the rules at all. Boss, talk to a few hairy children so much, the parents' orders matchmaker's words, isn't this matter up to the second child of the Qiao family to call the shots, let's go home. ”
Dong Da is also a little hasty today, he can still use his old qualifications to suppress people with his old qualifications, and he is sneering at Shang Yunying, a little girl, is it possible that he is not a person who is dozens of years old and scolds a little girl? Thinking of this, he had to snort coldly, got up and helped Mrs. Dong to leave without looking back.
The two of them left with their front feet, and Man'er took a scoop of water and poured a few scoops of cold water on her back foot, and then announced very solemnly: "The sixth sister will not be a concubine for anyone, the sixth sister is the head lady who wants to be a big official!" ”
The first half of the sentence sounded pleasing to the ear, and the second half of the angry words made Yun Ying cry and laugh: "Little fool, where did so many big officials come from who haven't married a wife yet, besides, how can big officials be climbed by people like us." ”
"It's not a good match if the door is not right." Hu San suddenly said in a deep voice, and he didn't know what he thought, so he took the hoe on the side and went out.
"What's wrong with him?" Luo Song, who had just come out of the second courtyard, saw Hu San leave, and couldn't help but wonder how Steward Hu, who always dragged him directly to work in the fields, let him go today.
"My brother thinks about some of the past. However, if this is not the right household, can it really not be a marriage match? "The little girl Hu Die's family background is destined to be precocious than Man'er, and she began to worry about her future marriage at a young age.
The fastest response was Yuangen, who was still depressed at noon, and he pouted hatefully and continued: "The door is not the right one, and it is not that the one who is not married, besides, there is no eternal door in the world that is not the right one, who can say that one day the low one will not change the door." Hearing this, this kid seems to have figured out his previous hesitation.
Luo Song said lazily: "Who said that if the door is not right, you can't get married, I have a cousin who is a fourth-grade captain in the border city, and my cousin-in-law used to be a slave in our family." Speaking of this, Luo Song's eyes suddenly widened and pointed at Yun Ying and said: "Plum blossoms, orchids, apricot blossoms, peach blossoms, chrysanthemums, camellias, camellias, ......."
"What ...... do you read, how do you know the order of our sisters?" Listening to Luo Song's topic for no reason, Yun Ying was still a little confused, but when he read out her and Man'er's previous names in a row, this order was surprisingly consistent with his own seven sisters, Yun Ying was startled.
"My cousin-in-law seems to be called Plum Blossom! I don't remember when she came to my house, but I've heard people talk about her. She entered the house at the age of eleven and has been serving our ancestors, and later saved the ancestors once and entered the eyes of the ancestors. Originally, the ancestor wanted to reward her with some money and let her go home to reunite with her family, but who knew that she didn't want anything, just begging the ancestor to save her sister. After that, the ancestor sent a housekeeper to come to Baijiaji to find the person who bought and sold her at the beginning and gave instructions, and then our family successively had more orchids, apricot blossoms, peach blossoms, and four years ago there was a chrysanthemum. No wonder I heard that Baijiaji and Lijiacun are so familiar, it turns out that I have heard of people mentioning them. ”
said a lot of words, Luo Song was also secretly surprised, to be honest, if these were not all flower names, he would not have remembered them so clearly.
"You mean really? That means my five sisters are all in Asahi Castle at your house! After receiving all the memories of the original body, Yun Ying also tried to find five poor sisters, but Lu Xianxian's professional ethics are really good, I think I was instructed, and I didn't want to reveal the whereabouts of the plum blossoms anyway. Not only that, but also hinted that if Yun Ying and Man'er wanted to sell themselves, she would find a good family for the two of them. Now that I think about it, I must be talking about the Luo family.
Luo Song shook his head and denied the affairs of Meihua and others in Asahi City, his cousin refused to accept a concubine after marrying Meihua to fill the house, and volunteered to go to the Zhenxi General to be a captain of the city three years ago, Meihua was short and shrewd, for fear that the four younger sisters would stay in Luofu What was wrong, and they were all married with orchids, apricot blossoms, and peach blossoms and chrysanthemums to be married to be brought to the border city. (To be continued......)
