Chapter 181: The Family Affair Is Settled
On the bustling street, two tall men with deep eyebrows were unusually conspicuous, and people who came and went couldn't help but take a second look, but they didn't realize it and walked by themselves.
The man in the dark robe turned his head sideways and said to the inconspicuous middle-aged man on the side: "Li Shaoqing, how is the matter that this king asked you to inquire?" ”
The man who was questioned looked a little strange when he heard this.
He is the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, but he turned out to be a matchmaker.
But I can't afford to mess with this master.
Although the Barbarian Tail Country is a barbarian land in the hearts of the Great Zhou people, it is undeniable that the combat effectiveness of this small country is extremely strong, especially this time in the dynasty, the emperor obviously attaches great importance to them, and intends to marry the lord of Chuxia County to the eldest prince, which is the best evidence.
"Second prince, I have already inquired below, and the eldest girl of the Zhenguo Mansion is fourteen years old." Li Shaoqing said, a little funny.
Now the capital has spread the news of this prince and the eldest girl of the Zhenguo Mansion, but the person concerned is completely unaware of it, and asked him to investigate.
It seems that the second prince is really interested in the eldest girl of the Zhenguo Mansion.
"She looks like she's fourteen or fifteen years old, and she's unusually beautiful, isn't she?" The second prince was not at ease and asked again.
I am secretly annoyed that the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty are inexplicable, men and women have to marry without even seeing each other, aren't they afraid of marrying an ugly monster or marrying a coward?
The women of their barbarian tail country choose their husbands in the gladiatorial arena, and the men marry wives, and they will choose their favorite beautiful girls in various singing and dancing events.
Li Shaoqing was a little embarrassed: "Second prince, below, there is no chance to see that girl below." However, I heard Neiko say that among the three girls in the Zhenguo Mansion, the eldest girl is the most beautiful. ”
"Then it should be her!" The second prince's eyes lit up, and then he was a little annoyed, "Can't we meet each other?" ”
Li Shaoqing was taken aback: "Second prince, this." This is not to be done. Our men and women in Da Zhou are not at the same table at the age of seven, and the family of people who pay attention to it is that their brothers have to move to the outer courtyard when they are ten years old, let alone foreign men. ”
Seeing that the second prince was quite dissatisfied, he couldn't help but say: "Da Zhou and your country are not the same......
"It's different." The second prince frowned, "It's much more open than ours, and men and women can sleep together without even seeing each other." ”
"Ahem!" Li Shaoqing coughed violently, and looked at the second prince with trembling lips.
This is the words of the matchmaker of the parents, not the openness. Opening!
roared in his heart, as an official who dealt with foreign guests, especially an official who was instructed by the emperor to treat the other party well, Li Shaoqing had to swallow this mouthful of old blood silently.
The eldest prince patted the second prince on the shoulder: "Second brother, we have to follow the customs, if you like that girl, don't embarrass her." ”
Ouch, deaf.
Li Shaoqing couldn't wait to cover his ears.
What do you like or not, this. How can such a thing be said!
The second prince nodded and unconsciously touched his chest.
He misses her, misses her like crazy.
She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, her long hair running against his cheeks. Like the most gorgeous Gesang Medo in full bloom, it burned his heart.
Li Shaoqing turned his head silently.
Honglu Temple is really not a place for people to stay, and you always have to deal with uncivilized people, he. He's gone!
The birthday banquet of the old lady of Zhenguo is approaching, and the Guogong Mansion has been cleaned up inside and out.
Guests from afar have been arranged in guest rooms, and many people have come to the clan.
The Luo clan is in Qinghe. A county town very close to the capital.
The original patriarch was Lao Zhen Guogong, and Qinghe's hometown has always been the cousin of Lao Zhen Guogong, and after Lao Zhen Guogong was stupid, the person in charge took over the position of patriarch naturally.
The one who came to congratulate the birthday this time was the patriarch's wife Tang.
The two of them haven't seen each other for several years, and the old lady is very happy and calls all the juniors in the house to see each other.
Zhen Miao's foot injury is not healed, but she can't be absent on such an occasion as a bride, and it can even be said that she is an important introduction.
Sure enough, Tang pulled Zhen Miao to look left and right, and the shot was a pair of gold bracelets full of weight, and the bracelets were also embedded with eight rubies the size of cat's eyes.
Zhen Miao's hand was a little soft.
This, where did this rich old lady come from!
Then Luo Zhiya came out to greet her, and the old lady took a closer look: "This is Yuan Niang, why haven't you seen you for a few years, and you are so thin?" ”
The old lady couldn't hide her thoughts, and glanced at Tian with some dissatisfaction.
Tian was about to kneel.
She's really annoyed that this old lady is coming!
It is clear that the father-in-law is the prince of Zhenguo, she is a patriarch's daughter-in-law, and she can put up the genealogy of the elders than the old lady, but the old lady is not surprised, and the relationship with this old woman is very good, so that these younger generations dare not speak out.
Yuan Niang has lost weight these days, but she looks good, her eyes are big, so thin, it is obviously more moving, and this old lady doesn't know what to see!
But the old lady understood.
In the early years, the situation was unstable, it was not that there had been no war, and the clansmen who guarded Qinghe had also suffered, and even had a day when they did not have enough meals.
"The girl is older, this is a draw." The old lady relieved Luo Zhiya.
Thinking of the innocent grievances suffered by my granddaughter, I couldn't bear it.
Luo Zhihui came out to greet him.
She is only one year younger than Luo Zhiya, with a white goose egg face, a pair of eyes that look like black grapes, and a demure temperament, this appearance is the most pleasing to the elders.
Sure enough, although the things rewarded by the Tang family were the same as Luo Zhiya's, they smiled a lot more, and they also praised the Song family for their education.
Tian's qi smoked but didn't dare to squeak, just looking forward to the birthday banquet passing quickly, this old lady got out of the way!
Next is Luo Zhizhen.
The third girl was only six years old, and she was disposed of by beating the nurse, and she didn't make a sound all day, standing there like a little mouse, and it took a long time to say a word of greeting, and then she was silent.
Tang frowned, it was not good to say much in front of so many juniors, and he didn't look at it anymore after taking a golden bead flower reward.
"Yuan Niang, take your two sisters down to play." The old lady spoke.
Luo Zhiya didn't move.
Seeing that everyone was looking over, he knelt down lightly: "Grandmother, the elders are here today, and the cousin grandmother is also here, and the granddaughter has a few words to say." ”
The old lady held the tea: "Yuan Niang." Something to say. ”
Luo Zhiya didn't move, and knelt straight: "Grandmother, the rumors of the past few days have been involved in her granddaughter and made the Guogong Mansion ashamed." The granddaughter asked herself to copy Buddhist scriptures behind closed doors for a year, blessing the elders with good health and the peace of the Guogong Mansion. ”
"Yuan Niang, what are you talking about?" Tian exclaimed in surprise and looked at the old lady, "Old lady, this matter." Yuan Niang is innocent, she didn't delay like this-"
The old lady understood what Tian meant, and looked at Luo Zhiya on the ground: "Yuan Niang, your mother is right, you are innocent and injured, and you can't punish yourself, and your grandmother is not that foolish person." ”
Luo Zhiya's expression was firm: "Grandmother, you and your mother cherish me, and my granddaughter understands." It's just that this matter has been related to the granddaughter. Then yes and wrong. If you ask your grandmother to grant her granddaughter's request, it will be her fault, and she will be punished for it. ”
What Luo Zhiya meant when she said this was to take the matter of the horse on herself. It can be regarded as righteous and awe-inspiring to protect Zhen Miao.
After all, from the standpoint of the Guogong Mansion, it is much better for her reputation to be damaged than Zhen Miaoqing's reputation.
Da Zhou is more open than the previous dynasty, and a reputation like her is at best a flawed one, but if a married woman is hugged by a strange man on the street. That's a joke.
Luo Zhiya's attitude really made the old lady look at her, and her heart was at a critical moment. This granddaughter can still be cleared, and the grievances she suffered this time will definitely be compensated for in the future.
Tian caught a glimpse of the old lady's expression and smiled secretly in his heart.
In exchange for the old lady's guilt, it is not certain whether she will suffer a loss in the future.
Then he quietly glanced at Zhen Miao, and saw her reach out and take a piece of osmanthus cake and stuff it into her mouth, looking at it with a smile.
I couldn't help but blow up my lungs.
This, what a thick cheek this is, Yuan Niang has expressed her position like this, she, the culprit, does not say that she will plead together, at least she must be restless, she actually eats osmanthus cake!
Could it be that she really thought that it was Yuan Niang who was hugged on the street!
"Zhen, what do you think?" Tian asked unconsciously.
All eyes looked at it.
Zhen Miao blinked and looked sincere: "Second aunt, I'm just Yuan Niang's cousin-in-law, how can I give any opinions." ”
Tian came up with a mouthful of blood.
What does it mean to give advice to Yuan Niang, who made the mistake, others don't know, you don't know yourself?
The old lady was suspicious in her heart, and when she saw Zhen Miao like this, she didn't feel anything, and sighed: "In this case, it depends on Yuan Niang's wishes." Your grievances, grandmother wrote down. ”
"Grandmother-" Luo Zhiya's eyes reddened slightly.
A few juniors just then withdrew.
The old lady left the Tian family and the Song family: "In front of your five aunts, let's put the matter on the mind of the old man in his early years." The child from the He family has been here for a while, and I look at it coldly, it is a good one, although he has an eye disease, his activities on weekdays are not hindered. What do you two think? ”
"The daughter-in-law doesn't have any opinions, she listens to the old lady." Tian did not hesitate to speak.
What is she afraid of, since the old lady allowed Yuan Niang to close the door for a year and take the matter of the startling horse on herself, it is impossible to marry her to a blind man!
Whether it's for Yuan Niang or the He family, it can't.
Marrying the girl of the Guogong Mansion is to repay her kindness, and the old lady will never marry her granddaughter who has just lost her reputation and let the He family talk about it.
And for the grievances of Yuan Niang, the old lady will not let her be wronged to marry a person with eye disease again.
Song smiled faintly: "The daughter-in-law also listens to the old lady." ”
The old lady sighed lightly: "Erniang is smart and demure, and she is a good match with the brother of the He family, so let's settle it for them." ”
As soon as the qiē settled, Song still smiled and went to Luo Zhihui. (To be continued......)
