Chapter 447: Something to Ask For
Sima Yan's face was not angry, and her steps were still elegant and calm, and no one could see her mood. It's just that when they passed by the courtyard gate, they said coldly to the gatekeeper who was facing them stunned: "The sixth master just came back, but he is also the master of this mansion, if you don't like this errand, you can ask the eldest sister-in-law to be transferred." ”
What a heart-wrenching word! The woman was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with a "poof": "Lord Yan spares his life, the slave and maid suddenly have a stomachache, and they don't have time to find someone to replace them, so they ...... Just ......, the county lord spares his life. "Don't you look down on the sixth master who has just made a great contribution to the house, and the grandfather of the country and the prince of the country have personally picked it up? Such a hat is buttoned down, and if she is not careful, she will not be scolded by the rod and sold to the house?
Why are you so unlucky? The mother-in-law's hands and feet began to tremble, she thought that she had hit good luck today, and she picked up more than one or two pieces of silver and more than twenty big coins for nothing, who knew that she would pick up money along the corner of the wall, uh, just a little bit of effort on the wall, and the county lord and the two girls just happened to come to see the sixth master. When I saw them walking over just now, her eyes were almost straight, when did she go in?
Sima Yan snorted coldly and left.
Sima Yan, who was in a good mood, hurriedly followed: "Why should my aunt be angry with a mother-in-law?" Fortunately, my grandfather is also there, and we are not too disrespectful. Fu'er looked at it, and Ning Shizi didn't care. ”
Sima Jing is still young, and she is held by thousands of pets on weekdays, where has she received any cold reception? pouted and said, "That Ning Shizi is cold and doesn't like to deal with people, we are here to see the sixth uncle, not to see him." ”
Sima Wei pouted: "What do children know?" Ning Shizi is a heroic young general, and he is not one of those smiling and idle people in the capital all day long. Or the crooked melons and bad dates that are unsightly. ”
Speaking of crooked melons and inferior dates. Sima Wei's heart sank. She is sixteen years old. But he hasn't decided on a family affair yet. Although she is the only concubine in the second room of the Anguo Mansion, when people talk about her mother, they change color, and people with better conditions don't look down on her at all.
Last year, not long after she and Lu, the lady of the third room of Yong'an Bo Mansion sent a matchmaker to propose marriage to her heir, Qian Baye. Mr. Qian San died in an accident less than two years after he got married, leaving Mrs. Qian San and a daughter, Miss Jiu. Later, Mrs. Qian San succeeded the second son of Wufang (concubine), and the eighth master was the heir. Although Qian Baye did not have the first list of high school in the martial arts examination, he was also a second-rank martial artist and entered the military department. It can also be regarded as a young talent with potential and promising.
Although the Anguo Mansion has no dealings with the Yong'an Bo Mansion, it is also a little strange how the third lady of Qian came to the door to ask for marriage, but this family business is indeed not bad.
I never thought that as soon as the Anguo Mansion nodded, there was a disturbance in the Yong'an Bo Mansion over there, and it turned out that the fifth lady of the Qian family didn't know where she learned that the reason why the third lady of the Qian family would ask to marry Sima Wei for Qian Baye was because Xia Ruoxue promised that when the ninth girl of Qian got married, Sima Wei would take out part of the dowry (a small grange in the suburbs of Beijing, plus jewelry worth two thousand taels) and give it to her sister-in-law as a dowry. And these things came from Xia Ruoxue's extra dowry to Sima Wei, and the Guogong Mansion would not know. Nor can it be intervened. Moreover, Xia Ruoxue's thriving seafood business now will also let Mrs. Qian participate in it. The seafood business is highly profitable, but it is difficult to get on the road, how can Mrs. Qian not be tempted?
Mrs. Qian was angry, the eighth master was her biological son, and Mrs. Qian San made profits for her biological daughter, but sacrificed her son's happiness, what is it? And she and her children didn't get any interests at all, they were Qian Baye's mother, brother and sister.
Without waiting for the two rooms of Yong'an Bo Mansion to clarify the lawsuit, the Anguo Mansion immediately issued a statement rejecting this family matter, and announced that whether it was Sima Xiang, Sima Yu's brothers and sisters, or their Anguo Mansion, they had nothing to do with Xia Ruoxue, and would not accept Xia Ruoxue's copper plate.
However, after this incident, Sima Wei's family affairs are even more difficult to find, and it is really high or low. Last month, Ye Lingwei mentioned to Duchess An Guo the third nephew of her mother's mother-in-law, although she has no prospects, but she is the son-in-law of the official family of Zhengsanpin, but she fell off the horse more than half a year ago, and now her right foot is a little lame.
When Sima Yu found out, she made a big fuss, saying that Ye Lingwei was cheap, even if she was affected by her biological mother's reputation, she would not marry a lame man.
If it weren't for the third young master Ye being lame, the Ye family would still be unwilling to marry Sima Yan. Sima Wei made such a fuss, and kept saying "lame", where could Ye Lingwei endure it, and immediately said that she would no longer care about Sima Wei's family affairs.
Sima Yan, who was walking in front, also heard Sima Yan's words and snorted coldly. Although she also felt that Ye Lingwei told Sima Wei to a lame nephew who had no skills, it was a complete "stepmother method", which was a bit excessive. But then again, apart from her good looks and dancing skills, Sima Wei has no strengths, no good reputation, no good talent, no rich dowry, and even a notorious mother, so why pick and choose? At this time, Xiao still thought of Ning Shizi, I really don't know what to say.
At this time, Sima Yan completely forgot that Sima Yan was hired by her to be a foil, and she only felt that Sima Yan was very annoying and embarrassing, and she wished that she would disappear in front of her immediately, and she was upset.
Shu Yao is also a little restless today, whether it is practicing, practicing calligraphy, or embroidery, he can't calm down. She didn't know if Ning Shizi had told her father-in-law and eldest brother last night, and how she said it, but she knew that her father-in-law and Ning Shizi were drunk. And then today no one is gone, and my grandmother, aunt, and sister-in-law have not said anything.
Shu Yao believes that her father-in-law and eldest brother will not agree to marry her so soon, and she herself does not want to marry so early.
Shu Yao hopes to be named on the gold list of books and literature, and start to embark on his road of "champion emperor businessman" and "first emperor businessman" before getting married. The peace, happiness and fame of her eldest brother and younger brother are her first wish after being reborn, and it is also the primary meaning of her heart to live a new life.
She is older than Shuwen, and it is impossible to get married after Shuwen gets married and has a family, but it's good to see her younger brother take the first step steadily, isn't it? At that time, she can focus on managing her own life.
One day, when Mu Shuiling was mentioned, Aunt Lan was deeply touched and taught her: Life needs to be lived with heart, and when you meet a good man, you also need to know how to manage the relationship between the two, what you want your life to be, and make efforts, what your life will be like. Women are destined to work harder than men in this regard, not only to take care of the old and give birth to the young, but also to take care of the middle feed, and even discipline the aunt to ensure harmony in the backyard......
If Shu Yao had just decided to marry, she would not have thought about these words in her heart, because she didn't have much expectations for getting married at that time, and she had the mentality of "if you are together, you will be harmonious, and if you are not together, you will be separated". But Qi Haoning's various performances in the past two years, especially this adventure to rush back to give her a blood jade moon hairpin, made her feel a little more confident in her life after getting married, and even began to look forward to getting along, getting to know each other, and staying with Qi Haoning.
She told herself that the failure in her previous life was only because she had met not a good man. This is also to blame herself, at that time, she only saw that Xue Minglang could study and had the potential of high school, and she only wanted to rely on him to share the glory and wealth, and did not care about the comments said by the people around her about his inability to endure hardship, selfishness, covetousness, etc......
In this life, she is willing to give herself and Qi Haoning a chance. Of course, this means that you have to work hard as Aunt Lan said.
However, it is one thing to hope that he will marry again later, and it is another thing to want to know how Qi Haoning desperately asks his father-in-law and eldest brother to marry him earlier, this is the girl's mind that is gradually opening up, and Shu Yao's current state of mind is so "complicated". How else to say "a woman's heart needle"?
Shu Yao was "thinking wildly" alone, Lan Jin walked in, and smiled Mimi: "County Lord, the prince of Zhongguo came back with the second master, saying that he had something to ask the county lord, and they are now greeting the old lady." ”
"Brother Dunzi has something to ask me?" Shu Yao shook her head amusedly, "He must have made his mother angry again, or his grandmother forced him to marry again, hehe, so he came to me for novelty snacks to please them." ”
Lan Jin smiled: "Actually, Zhong Shizi is only 17 years old, what are you anxious about?" Mrs. Weiyuan Hou said that there are many girls in the capital who are staring at Zhong Shizi. "Women are afraid that it will be difficult to find when they are old, what are men afraid of? With an identity like the Zhongguo Mansion, he is 30 years old, and he can still find a teenager.
Shu Yao said with a smile: "When you meet a good candidate, Aunt Zhong and Old Lady Zhong will naturally be anxious, Brother Dunzi is the eldest son and grandson." Let's go, let's go see what trouble Zhong Shizi has gotten into? ”
From the good relationship between Jin Xida and Zhongguo Gong, the two mansions are also considered world friends, Zhong Jiayi is like a brother with Shuwen, and he has known Shu Yao since he was a child, and Shu Yao went to the old lady's courtyard to meet him and say hello is not abrupt, and Shuwen is also there. During the day, the entire Lianghou Mansion is the most lively in the courtyard of the old lady.
When Shu Yao arrived, Zhong Jiayi was crawling around on the felt carpet with Shuwen chasing the rolling and doodoo of the fire, and the "lazy" doodle was impatient to chase after him, so he turned around halfway and rested on his stomach on the little girl. Xiao Liang gently shook him down, wanting to "urge" him to continue exercising, who knew that Dudu climbed directly onto Xiao Ling's back and lay down, two fat little hands still tightly grasped the hair on Xiao Ling's body, with a look of "see how you dump me down", which made everyone laugh, and Mrs. Jin, who had just taken a sip of tea, almost didn't laugh, and scolded with a smile, "Little Monkey, Little Monkey." ”
Zhong Jiayi's eyes widened: "This little thing, it's a goblin when it's so big, and it's going to be big in the future?" ”
Shuwen gently slapped Dudu Xiao's ass: "No matter how good he is, he is also my nephew, and I will teach him a lesson if he is disobedient." Dudu was busy "preventing" the little boy from dumping him, and he didn't pay attention to being attacked by his little uncle from behind, babbling and screaming, as the elder brother's rolling hurried over to support, the black grape-like eyes stared at Shuwen's hands babbling and dancing, that momentum, it seemed that as long as Shuwen slapped Dudu's little ass again, he was going to cry.
Huohuo was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he jumped on Shuwen's shoulder and cheered and shouted, until he saw Shuyao come in, and quickly jumped back on the felt carpet and pretended to be well-behaved. (To be continued......)
