Chapter 76: The Good Wife
Yanran came back for three or four months, and when she saw the Zheng family coming in and out as usual, she naturally wanted to pinch Yanran's flower. For a few days in a row, there were people who came to talk to Yanran, but they were all not very good people.
"My daughter, I know it myself, I'd rather she never marry for the rest of her life than want her to be someone's stepmother!" Aunt Zheng was really angry this time, and picked up the broom and drove people away: "Get out of here, what else is the vegetable in the basket, don't I really know?" is a thirty-year-old man, being a shopkeeper, he can only get seventy or eighty taels of silver a year, not to mention, his daughter is still tricky, what is Yanran in my family? ”
Seeing Aunt Zheng picking up a broom to drive people away, the matchmaker's face immediately put down: "Sister-in-law Zheng, just talk well, what are you doing with a broom?" Yes, you are a flower when your daughter is a flower, but your daughter will be eighteen as soon as the New Year is over, and the eighteen-year-old girl will not be able to find the right age. Don't think you have to, let me tell you, Xiaochan's girl, she asked me to find relatives, and I didn't find such a good master for her. You, don't pick and choose, and then pick and choose, I'm afraid that there is only one small sedan chair to be a concubine for the Cheng family! ”
These words really aroused the anger of Aunt Zheng's heart, the broom in her hand was originally just pretending, but at this moment it really waved to the matchmaker: "My daughter is a girl who is an elderly girl at home, I raised it, and her dowry is enough to chew." In the future, if my son marries a daughter-in-law, if he dares to be disrespectful to his sister, I will weigh it, don't think that you disrespect your mother-in-law at home, ignore your sister-in-law and sister-in-law, everyone will be like you! ”
The matchmaker was kicked out of the door by Aunt Zheng several times, and the neighbors around heard the movement and also came out to see, and when they saw Aunt Zheng scolding there, the matchmaker's face was flushed, and they were all there to see the excitement, and they would never come forward to fight.
The matchmaker felt more and more faceless, and scolded Aunt Zheng San: "Okay, I'll just listen to what you say, and see what kind of family your daughter can marry if she is backward." Don't really respond to my words at that time, marry the Cheng family as a concubine, that is the face of a few lifetimes, and you will lose it! ”
Aunt Zheng was going to close the door, but when she heard this, she was going to come out with a broom, but Yanran heard the movement in the house wrong, put down the needle and thread and walked out of the door, and stopped her mother when she saw this. Aunt Zheng was naturally dissatisfied, and said to Yanran: "Such a person, why bother to calm people!" ”
When the matchmaker saw Yanran coming out, she had already shouted: "Yanran, let me tell you, this marriage, but I chose it out of thousands of choices, you ......" Before she finished speaking, she had already poured a basin of water on Yanran's head!
The weather in mid-August, whether it is cold or not, whether it is hot or not, such a basin of cold water poured down, the matchmaker immediately sneezed a few times, looked at Yanran and said angrily: "You, you don't know what to do, if it weren't for my kindness, you wouldn't be ......."
Before she finished speaking, Yanran had already said softly: "I know everyone is thinking, who am I going to marry in the future, there are only a few words horizontally and vertically, I am not a concubine or a late mother." These three are naturally better than others. Although I am a woman, I also know the truth that it is difficult to recover when covered with water, and what I say is the same as the water I have spilled out of this basin, and I will never take it back! ”
After speaking, Yanran pulled Aunt Zheng in and closed the door. When the matchmaker saw the Zheng family closing the door, she wanted to shout a few more words, but she couldn't shout, so she could only spit viciously at the gate of the Zheng family: "Phew, I see that in your life, you can only be an old girl." A maid, or a maid who was almost deceived into marriage, still wants to marry a good family to be a lady, I want to be beautiful! ”
The matchmaker scolded a few words, couldn't help but sneeze again, and when she saw that the people around her had dispersed, she hurriedly turned around and went home to change her clothes.
After the crowd dispersed, a voice sounded: "Grandma, this girl, I'm only afraid of ......" The sedan curtain was lifted, revealing a face that was Su's, she sighed: "I can only be moved with sincerity, otherwise, is it like this?" ”
After saying this, Su felt that he had strength again, and motioned for the maid to come forward and knock on the door. The maid looked at the puddle of water in front of Zheng's house, and couldn't help but think that if this girl also poured a basin of water for her own house later, she would have to protect her grandmother. Thinking about it, the maid knocked softly on the door.
Aunt Zheng was talking to Yanran about the moment she came out, and her daughter's basin of water was splashed out, and Aunt Zheng also felt very happy, patted her daughter's shoulder and said: "I just want to show them a good look, otherwise, they still think that what kind of person can come to practice!" ”
Yan Ran heard someone knocking on the door, this knock was very polite, Aunt Zheng stepped forward to open the door, and saw a maid dressed at the door, and looked carefully, but it didn't look like she knew it, could it be from Beppu, but her own family is in Beppu, and there are no special acquaintances? Aunt Zheng San was still suspicious, and the maid had already saluted Aunt Zheng San: "Hello auntie, my grandmother, I want to visit your girl!" ”
As soon as this title came out, Aunt Zheng felt even more strange in her heart, how could any master come to visit her daughter in the place where this person lives. Yan Ran had already looked out of the door, Su had already stepped off the sedan chair and stepped forward, and bowed slightly to Yan Ran: "Hello Miss Zheng!" ”
Which one is this singing? Aunt Zheng looked at Su's dress carefully, her eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and then she thought of Grandma Fangcai's words, Aunt Zheng's face didn't look good, and she greeted Yanran: "Close the door, our family is not so big, we can't accommodate such a big Buddha!" ”
Su had already stepped forward and said a deep blessing to Aunt Zheng: "Aunt Zheng, this matter, all the mistakes are my family's fault, I lingered for a long time, and then I came to the door with a shy face, Aunt Zheng wants to beat and scold, just beat and scold me!" ”
Saying that, the Su family was about to make a gesture to kneel down for Aunt Zheng San, but Aunt Zheng Sanyu hurriedly gave way to the side: "Grandma Cheng, please get up, a person of your status wants to kneel down for me, and I don't have to fold my blessing." Whatever you want to say, just ask! ”
"I just thought, thinking that Aunt Zheng took care of her husband a lot, so she brought some gifts to visit!" said that the mother-in-law had sent the gift, and Aunt Zheng didn't sweep the corner of her eyes: "Good intentions, send the gift back." Grandma Cheng, what I said that day was very clear, you and I are very different, please go back! ”
Saying that, Aunt Zheng slammed the door in front of Su's face, and the maid hurriedly helped Su's family: "Grandma, are you okay?" Su Shi only smiled lightly: "I'm fine, if this is really a thing, it hurts them very badly!" ”
The maid helped Su to sit back in the sedan chair: "Grandma, let's go back first!" Su thought about it and said, "It's okay, let's come back tomorrow!" Seeing the sedan chair leaving, Aunt Zheng San left the crack in the door and said to Yanran: "Daughter, what do you think, what are the plans for this family?" ”
"She's a good wife!" Yanran's words made Aunt Zheng frown: "How can you say such a good thing, even if you are a good wife, marrying such a husband is also a hard life!" Yan Ran hurriedly said: "Mother, it was the eldest lady who said that the Su family is a good wife, I was thinking, if she is a good wife, how will she treat her husband?" ”
will think what he thinks, read what he thinks, and go to great lengths to achieve his wishes. And Cheng Ruiru's wish, Yanran smiled lightly, this Cheng grandmother is destined to run a few times in vain. After that, the Su family really came to the door of the Zheng family every few days, either to deliver food or clothing, in short, there was a reason.
When the Su family came to the door for the fifth time, it was not Aunt Zheng who opened the door, but Yanran. Seeing Yan Ran, Su was a little stunned, Yan Ran had already walked out and looked at her: "Grandma Cheng, I know, you must have something to say to me, and you don't need to enter the door, just say it here!" ”
Over here? Su looked around, and there were already people gathered here, which made Su cover his face slightly with a fan. Seeing that Su was like this, Yan Ran screamed, and walked out of a little maid, Yan Ran pointed to a willow tree in the alley and said: "Then let's say there, here, your maid, my people are guarding, don't let them come!" Saying that, Yan Ran took the lead and walked over there, Su hesitated, and walked over there.
There were already a few benches under the willow tree, all of which were placed here by nearby people to enjoy the shade, Yanran took the lead in sitting down and looked at Su: "Grandma Cheng, please sit down!" Su had never encountered such a scene since she was born, but she still gritted her teeth and sat down on the bench, and her maid immediately walked over and covered her in front of her.
Yan Ran then spoke: "Grandma Cheng, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly, I don't want to go around in circles, besides, if you really want to go around in circles, you may not be able to go around with me!" "This kind of directness was rare before in the Su family. She couldn't help but look at Yanran carefully, she was born very well, this is for sure, and her bearing is also very generous, this is also for sure, after all, she is the personal maid of the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion. But such calmness is rare, after all, maids always have to be a little restrained, and the difference in identity is not something that can be smoothed out by what you eat and wear.
Yanran also let Su Shi look at him, he never saw anyone unseeing, and he had nothing to be sorry for others, what he was afraid of was not himself, but Su. Su's eyes had already retracted, and then he said in a low voice: "I know what I want to say, I will definitely let ......"
"If it's upset, then it's needless to say!" Yan Ran interrupted directly, which made Su's words choke in her throat, and she looked at Yan Ran with a look of surprise: "Miss Zheng, you and your husband originally had an appointment!" ”
"The former alliance has not been dissolved, and the latter covenant is made, such a covenant is just a lie!" Yan Ran opened his mouth without leaving a way back, which made Su Shi think about it again in his heart, and organized his words before he spoke: "I know that I came here today but with a cheeky face. Miss Zheng, since he married me, he has not had a good life! ”
"This has nothing to do with me, whether he is doing well or bad, it has nothing to do with me!" Yan Ran reiterated again.
