Chapter 113: Settled
Xiao Ruisheng's appearance is seven points similar to Xiao Xiangsheng, but he is much shorter and much thinner. Over the years, when the Xiao family split up in the past, the share of family property that Xiao Xiangsheng gave him was almost tossed by him. There are a lot of concubines and concubines in the family, and they don't live very well. When he giggles, his eyes are always flying, and no matter how thoughtful his appearance is, there is an indescribable obscenity.
Long Xiangye has never looked down on Xiao Ruisheng. Now I heard that even if I marry Xiao Ruisheng, I can't even do the main room, and I can only do the second room, that is, the concubine room with some names, I cried angrily, and came down from the blue yarn cupboard, the skirt and half arm of Xiangyun yarn fluttered, and the charm still existed.
"Brother and son, what do you hear him say? Even if you want your mother to marry him, no one wants it. - Mother went to make him a second room, do you have face on your face? Long Xiangye spoke to Xiao Shiji, eager to take a sip of Xiao Ruisheng.
The matchmaker listened to it next to her, and said busily: "Old lady, you don't know what to do, my brother and widow sister-in-law are all in the second room, and few are in the main room." - If the old lady wants to be the main room, the three families I said earlier are good, the Li family, the Zhang family, and the Mei family, all of which are the main room, among which the Mei Qinshi has never married a wife, and you will be the original main room when you go! β
Long Xiangye couldn't listen to it anymore, glared at the matchmaker and said, "These people's mothers-in-law are so vicious, what is your intention for letting me marry her?" β
The matchmaker shouted, "Yo, old lady, you can't say that. You are also a mother-in-law, of course, it is natural for a mother-in-law to let her daughter-in-law set rules, aren't you the most disciplined? Why are you still picking on your elders? β
Long Xiangye was choked. took a fan in front of him to block half of his face, and bluffed: "This mother-in-law beat her daughter-in-law to death, and said that it was nothing, you are a matchmaker, and you are abducted and deceived like this?" β
The matchmaker was embarrassed, and said curtly: "The old lady is so steely, they all say that the old lady is the most demure and polite and understands the rules, and now it looks like this......
"You're ......!" Long Xiangye was so angry that he didn't know how to fight back, turned his head to look at Xiao Shiji and said, "You go and call Tai Ge'er over, this kind of thing." You can't just say it. β
Xiao Shiji smiled faintly. looked at Long Xiangye and didn't speak.
His smile made Long Xiangye's heart weak, so he had to look away with his eyes flickering.
The matchmaker smiled beside her and said: "If the old lady is a person who keeps etiquette, how can she not know that there is no master, this family." It's all the eldest son who has the final say? - Uncle is also a grandson. It's long again. Your family, of course, has to listen to him. What's the use of calling your second master? β
Xiao Shiji then spoke, "Mother." If you don't want to pick the second uncle, just pick one of the three just now. - Pick it out earlier, and I'll give you a dowry. As he spoke, he said to Xiao Yi outside, "Go and invite the young grandmother over, just say that there is something important, let her come over, and by the way, bring the nine-chain box I gave her back then." β
Xiao Yi responded, and hurriedly ran to the courtyard where Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang lived.
Du Hengshuang had already ordered someone to pack up his things and prepare to go back to his parents' house.
Hearing that Xiao Yi, the chief steward of the outer courtyard, asked to see him, Du Hengshuang let him in.
Xiao Yi stepped into the threshold of the main house and looked up at Du Hengshuang wearing a long curtain on his head. The light gray veil hung from the brim of her hat to her knees, covering her whole body tightly. She wore the curtain away, of course, to cover the scars on her face, and also to go back to her parents' house for a while.
"Grandma, where are you going?" Xiao Yi was very strange and hurriedly asked. Makuli is a hat worn by a woman from a large family in Daqi to cover her face and body when she goes out.
Du Hengshuang smiled and didn't say much, just asked, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Xiao?" β
Xiao Yizhi said that he was too talkative, and said busily: "That's the case, the uncle is in the old lady's room, and now I want to ask the eldest and young grandmothers to hurry over, and he also said that he wants to let the eldest and young grandmothers take the nine chain boxes." β
Du Hengshuang didn't want to go, but when he heard that he was going to take the nine-chain box again, he was a little interested, and secretly wondered what Xiao Shi was doing.
The nine-link box has a lot of mechanisms, and once the outside is locked with a special lock, the mechanism inside is activated. Even if someone gets the key to open the box, the nine-song chain inside can make people dizzy. The things contained in it have to be dismantled layer by layer before they can be taken out, so it is called a nine-chain box. This box was built by a famous craftsman in the previous dynasty, I don't know where Xiao Shihe got it, and gave it to Du Hengshuang. When Du Hengshuang has nothing to do, he likes to disassemble and reassemble this box, and he has a lot of fun.
"Why does the uncle want this box, do you know the way?" Du Hengshuang asked Zhihua to get the box while asking Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi really didn't know what to do, so he shook his head honestly and said: "Uncle has always been a dragon who sees the beginning but not the end, and the little one doesn't know." β
This sycophant is too powerful.
Du Hengshuang secretly slandered Xiao Yi, took the nine-link box from Zhihua, took Zhihua and Ou Yangniang, as well as a few sturdy mothers-in-law, and followed Xiao Yi to the upper room where Long Xiangye lived.
It was the first time for Du Hengshuang to come to the courtyard where Long Xiangye lived.
Entering the main house, Xiao Yi did not allow Zhihua and Ou Yangniang to follow, and only let Du Hengshuang go in with him.
Du Hengshuang was a little suspicious and refused to go with him alone.
Xiao Yi had no choice but to report loudly to the back room: "Uncle, the young grandmother is here." β
After a while, footsteps sounded in the room, and Xiao Shiji lifted the curtain and showed his face through the tops.
Seeing Du Hengshuang with a knee-high curtain, Xiao Shiji's eyes darkened, and he walked over to support Du Hengshuang's arm and said, "Let's go in with me first." β
Du Hengshuang softened his heart and glanced at Zhihua and Ou Yangniang, who were waiting beside him.
Zhihua nodded knowingly, so that Du Hengshuang could go in with confidence. If there's something wrong, they'll take care of it outside.
Du Hengshuang was relieved, followed Xiao Shiji into the tip room, passed through the warm pavilion, lifted the curtain of the carved floor cover, and came to the inner room of Long Xiangye.
Long Xiangye stood on the edge of her big bed, and not far from her, there stood a woman with flowers and branches, who looked like a matchmaker. There was also a man, standing not far from the door. Laughing at Long Xiangye.
Du Hengshuang had seen Xiao Ruisheng once when he was a child, and he didn't remember his appearance for a long time, so he looked at Xiao Shiji inquiringly.
Xiao Shiji held her arm, walked past Xiao Ruisheng, came to Long Xiangye and stood not far away, and introduced Du Hengshuang: "This is the second uncle, my father's younger brother, do you remember?" β
She remembered the name. And she also remembered that Xiao Shiji had never been waiting to see this second uncle. Why did you invite the old lady to her inner chamber today? It's a bit strange.
Xiao Ruisheng only then did he know what he said. This woman wearing a long curtain is Xiao Shiji's new wife, and she hurriedly took a step forward and bowed to Du Hengshuang. Very attentive. It's about pleasing in every possible way.
Du Hengshuang bowed his knees slightly. I also saw Long Xiangye standing by the pillar on the edge of the carved stepping bed, not as calm and idle as the noble lady in the past, but with a panicked and uneasy face. Du Hengshuang felt that something was wrong.
Xiao Shiji bowed his head to Long Xiangye and said, "Mother, then it's decided." You remarry the second uncle to make the second room, I will write the marriage book myself, you and the second uncle draw a bet, the big media is ready-made, you can immediately sign the marriage book. β
Long Xiangye is a second room for Xiao Ruisheng, which is not the main room that the Ming media is marrying, and it is a second marriage, so there is no need for three media and six hires and other procedures for big gifts.
The two wrote the marriage letter, and then went to the government to file it, and it took effect.
Du Hengshuang was surprised when he heard this, and looked at Xiao Shiji suspiciously through the light gray light gauze curtain, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pull his sleeve.
Xiao Shiji smiled and turned back to Du Hengshuang and said gently: "I went out last night, ran all night, and finally helped my mother find several marriages. β
Du Hengshuang also knows that some families have the custom of marrying a widowed sister-in-law, but Long Xiangye marries Xiao Ruisheng? - She still thinks it's too weird.
Seeing that Du Hengshuang was silent, Long Xiangye immediately pounced and whimpered in front of her: "Daughter-in-law, my mother is wrong, my mother apologizes to you." Mother shouldn't have slapped you yesterday. You spit on me yesterday, not intentionally, my mother was blinded by lard for a while, so she slapped you. My mother was wrong, my mother really knew that she was wrong, and she would never do it again. - Brother and listen to you, I beg you to help me persuade him, don't let me remarry, okay? I've been working for these three children all my life, and now letting me go is more uncomfortable than ripping out my heart! I beg you, help my mother once......"
Du Hengshuang didn't speak, Xiao Shiji had already said lightly: "Mother, I said it just now, why do you regret it now?" Shuang'er, she doesn't know anything, and you beg her in vain. β
Du Hengshuang looked at Xiao Shiji, and then at the painful and snotty dragon incense leaves, and didn't know what to do for a while.
Long Xiangye was in a hurry. This eldest son is not filial, and it is really sad to be a mother. For any other woman to be a mother-in-law, no matter how she tosses her daughter-in-law, her son will not pay attention to it, she just slapped Du Hengshuang lightly, and her son will drive him out of the door. - She only knew that the ancient mother-in-law could toss her daughter-in-law casually, but she forgot that her mother-in-law was actually an attachment to her son, and her son refused to give you face, even if you were his ancestor, it was useless......
The eldest son seems to be useless, or the younger son is reliable, and the child has been sticking to himself since he was a child.
Long Xiangye glanced at Du Hengshuang, and said: "Poor my Yanran, she hasn't even decided on her family, with me, the mother who remarried, what good relatives can she find?" You can bear to be a brother and sister-in-law? β
Hearing that Long Xiangye brought Xiao Yanran to talk about things, Du Hengshuang was also a little unbearable, so he came up with an idea, "Uncle, my sister is twelve this year, I have been engaged in the past two years, and I will get married in fifteen, and it will take three years." Why don't you let your mother remarry after three years? ββAfter Yanran's sister gets married, my mother will remarry the second uncle, what do you think? β
Du Hengshuang figured out Xiao Shiji's thoughts, probably not really wanting Long Xiangye to remarry, but just to scare her so that she could settle down, so he handed Xiao Shiji a ladder and asked him to step down.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Shiji nodded solemnly and said: "It's okay, the marriage certificate will be filled in three years later, second uncle, what do you think?" β
Of course, Xiao Ruisheng didn't even dare to let out a fart, so he responded well and drew a bet on the marriage book.
Long Xiangye refused to draw, but the matchmaker dragged her hand and pressed a finger print on the marriage book.
As soon as the finger print was pressed, Long Xiangye was much more honest.
Xiao Shiji only prepared a copy of the marriage book, and after everyone signed it, Xiao Shiji asked Du Hengshuang for a box with nine consecutive rings, put the marriage book in it, and then locked the lock, but handed the key to Long Xiangye for safekeeping, "Mother, this is the key containing your marriage book, you keep it yourself, no one else can open this box." If you want to remarry in three years, only a few of us know the way, and no one else will know the way, so you can rest assured. β
The matchmaker is actually Xiao Shiji's subordinate, but she is also a serious matchmaker who really has a number in the government, not an impostor.
Long Xiangye relaxed his heart slightly. Others didn't know about Lu Dao, but they still gave her a few faces. - As for the future, let's talk about it later. Anyway, there are still three years, and in these three years, as long as she treats Du Hengshuang better, this marriage letter may not take effect......
Xiao Shiji turned around and handed the box containing the marriage book to Du Hengshuang, "You take good care of this box, and you must not lose it." β
The key was given to Long Xiangye, and the box was given to Du Hengshuang, which was really a last resort.
Du Hengshuang smiled bitterly, holding the box, like holding a hot potato.
In the meantime, Xiao Shihe called Long Xiangye's maid to come over and serve, and instructed them: "The old lady is not in good health, so she should go to Xuanrong Hall in the back garden to recuperate." You pack up the old lady's things and move to Xuan Rong Tang within three days. β
This is to ask Long Xiangye to let out the upper room of the Xiao family's main courtyard.
Long Xiangye's eldest maid Herui was a little unconvinced, and looked at Long Xiangye, whose eyes were slightly red, "Old lady? β
Long Xiangye didn't get angry like before, but said peacefully: "Clean up your things, let's move." It's noisy and noisy, and it gives me a headache. β
