Chapter 867: The prospective son-in-law arrives
As a result of reporting the title of the book, until this day, when Zhu Ying left the women's school to visit Mrs. Tai in the Zhaoguo Mansion, there was still a little annoyance on her face that hatred of iron could not be made of steel - although the Goryeo woman couldn't fight with her, but when she suddenly became illiterate in big characters, she was naturally angry enough.
But even so, she was still a deaf and clear-eyed Zhu Ying, as soon as she arrived at the door, she caught a glimpse of Zhu Er sneaking out, and when she stepped forward, she grabbed the person suddenly, and then asked in an unkind tone: "Second brother, where are you going?" β
Zhu Er never thought that Zhu Ying was obviously distracted, but he would be seen if he took a detour carefully. Annoyance is annoyance, but seeing the undisguised anger on Zhu Ying's face, he knows that something unpleasant must have happened to people today, if he is more stubborn, maybe this anger will fall on his head, so he immediately smiled all over his face.
"Yingying, this is my grandmother sending me out, well, it's to go to Wang's house......"
Before Zhu Er finished speaking, Zhu Ying immediately threw the previous bit of annoyance and anger out of the clouds, not only did she let go, but she grabbed it tighter, and even her eyes were shining: "Which Wang family?" Is it my future second sister-in-law's house? She and her mother returned from Xuanfu? In this cold day, why is Wang Datou not sympathetic at all? β
As soon as Zhu Er saw Zhu Ying's excited appearance, he secretly said that it was not good, however, before he could think about how to speak, he suddenly heard a voice from behind him: "Eldest Lady, this is to see Mrs. Tai?" Mrs. Tai has just rested, and she is in good condition today, and she has eaten more than a few days ago. As for the second young master going to the Wang family, it was Mrs. Tai who confessed. β
"I heard that it was because it hadn't snowed recently, the road was quite easy to walk, and their mother and daughter were not worried about the old house at home, so they came back in a hurry." Mother Jiang saw Zhu Er turn around and look at herself with resentful eyes, but she just didn't see it, and said to Zhu Ying with a smile, "Actually, if you want me to say, I'm afraid it's also because the marriage is imminent, so I need to hurry back to prepare." β
"Although Wang Datou had already invited the elders to help prepare before, and the two sides had passed the ceremony, etc., but after all, she was not a real mother. Speaking of which, if it weren't for Wang Datou, the governor of Xuanda, the emperor would have planned to summon him back. Now it seems that he will not be able to come back. β
It's best if you can't come back, if Wang Datou comes back, then I will simply have a few mountains at home, and after marrying a daughter-in-law, there will be another mountain in the Yue family! Zhu Er complained so much in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only laugh beside him. And then, when he heard Zhu Ying's statement, he panicked again.
"In that case, then I'll go with my second brother, and I'll come back to see my grandmother later!" Zhu Ying said and glanced at Zhu Er, who was in a hurry, and raised her chin slightly, "Second brother, you are usually flamboyant, but you are often unreliable at critical moments, I will follow you, so I can still pick up the gaps." β
Zhu Er opened his mouth and wanted to defend, but seeing Jiang's mother nodding approvingly, he knew that it would be useless for him to say anything, so he could only accept the reality that his sister followed him to meet his future daughter-in-law. However, after going out and getting on the horse, he saw that Zhu Ying also got on the horse and followed, so he couldn't help but ask blankly: "You don't take the car?" β
"It's not cold, what kind of car to take, and it's not good to talk to you!" Zhu Ying looked at her stupid second brother angrily, riding a horse and walking side by side with others, and then lowered her voice and said, "The more the marriage is imminent, the more likely others are to pick on your thorns." Although Ah Shou often told me that the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more she looked at it, the happier she became, but what if she encountered a harsh one? β
"Anyway, if you look at it for a while, if you are polite, I will be submissive, and if you are tricky, I will be ......picky."
was said a lot by Zhu Ying, Zhu Er was not panicked, but gradually his heart went up and down. It's not that he hasn't seen his future daughter-in-law, but he can't see anything clearly from a distance, and as for speaking, it's even more delusional. As for the future mother-in-law...... In his impression, he was a person who didn't have much of an impression, because he was already flustered at that time.
So, when he came from the Zhao Guogong Mansion in Zhumen to the Wang family with a black lacquered gate and an old courtyard wall, he did not have the consciousness of a rich son-in-law to see a poor relative, and even spoke softly to the gatehouse. And his attitude naturally made the descendants of the Wang family full of favorability - especially when the descendants of the Wang family were far less than the Duke of Zhao, this impression was naturally very important.
And what has attracted more attention than Zhu Er is Zhu Ying, who is fresh and angry, calm and confident. The eldest lady is the most eye-catching person wherever she goes, even if today's protagonist is Zhu Er, that's the same. Compared with the legendary arrogance, the butler who came to greet him peeked at it, and saw that Zhu Ying was always smiling, neither rushing to speak nor commenting.
Except that when my sister followed my brother and suddenly ran to my future sister-in-law's house, it was a bit sudden.
But Zhu Ying is now not only a daughter of the Zhu family, but a woman of Zhangmen, and she is not an unmarried eldest lady, and when she comes to the Wang family, it is natural for her aunt and grandmother to come to see her future sister-in-law who has not yet passed the door. And when Zhu Ying met her second brother's future mother-in-law with a smile, seeing that people were kind and kind-eyed, and her words were kind, she really watched from the wall, purely just watching the excitement.
Mrs. Li was originally a little worried about her daughter's future sister-in-law, who was famous in the capital, but when she saw it today, she found that she was a very quiet girl, and she was immediately relieved.
Therefore, even if Zhu Er's speech and demeanor are a little stereotyped, which is completely different from the rumored frivolous and incompetent second son of the Zhao Guogongfu, she only regards it as a prodigal son and does not change it, and does not take it to heart at all.
In the face of the eight-color gift box sent by the Zhao Guogong Mansion, after thanking and thanking her, she immediately ordered someone to prepare a return gift, and specially instructed her daughter to send it out in person.
Such an understanding mother-in-law, Zhu Er is simply overjoyed. And he is different from Zhang Chen, who demands to be stunning, he is fed up with the most powerful women in his family, and the only requirement is to be virtuous.
Therefore, when the curtain of the door outside was opened, and a plainly dressed and generous girl came in, he only took the first look and felt that the whole person was about to float.
Although he has never been to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, but at this time, a picture scroll appeared out of thin air in front of him, that is, in the mist and rain, a girl who hired Tingting held an ink umbrella in her hand, and walked out unhurriedly.
Fortunately, Zhu Er's self-control is now stronger than before, and that state of distraction only lasted for a short time before he was forcibly suppressed by him. He deliberately turned his gaze a little, and when the others stepped forward to salute each other, he also hurriedly sang a big song.
And although the Wang family was also very interested in Zhu Ying who was standing aside, since her future husband was there, when she gave the return gift, she asked Zhu Er generously: "I heard that the second son is going to Cangzhou when he turns around?" β
Yes, I almost forgot, I am now the Zhu Gong of a good farmer, even if I get married, I can't stay at home all the time, I have to go to Cangzhou! Moreover, my grandmother is sick, and my sister-in-law is sick in Qing'an Hall all day long, even if I marry my daughter-in-law, I am afraid that people will always have to be filial in front of my grandmother......
Thinking of this, Zhu Er, who only felt full of joy just now, was unconsciously a little frustrated and discouraged, and immediately after, he heard Zhu Ying's crisp and pleasant voice from the side: "The second brother is indeed going to Cangzhou after getting married." Spring ploughing is coming, and many Haidong species that have been agreed upon before will be sown. After all, farmers are afraid of taking risks, and it is easy to do one thing in front of one person and one thing behind the other. β
Zhu Er finally came to his senses, and hurriedly nodded vigorously: "That's right, the villagers don't have so much knowledge after all, if something goes wrong with planting in one season, it will affect the livelihood of the family, so I'm afraid that they will only care about the present." Although I promised to give a foundation for the trial planting, and several old farmers who were selected also took the money, I was afraid that there would be some moths at that time. β
Speaking of this, he was afraid that his fiancΓ©e would think that he was deliberately trying to leave people behind, so he hurriedly explained: "Cangzhou, the most important thing is the cotton from Haidong, and some other crops can be planted in the capital, so I won't stay in Cangzhou all the time and not ......come back."
Just when he was about to say that you are at ease, he saw Wang Zhan smile and said, "It's good that the second son can focus on getting things right." β
Mrs. Li also smiled: "That's right, a man should focus on business, even if the second son is not committed to his career, it is also a kind of responsibility to go out and do what he can compared to lying in the shadow of the Zhao State Mansion to live." β
Suddenly receiving such praise, Zhu Erden only felt that even his bones were lighter. He nodded again and again, he didn't see Zhu Ying's expression of trying to hold back a smile, and then he didn't know what he said in front of his future mother-in-law and fiancΓ©e.
It wasn't until he left the gate of the Wang family that he had always had a hot head before that he woke up like a dream, and tried his best to recall his words and deeds just now, but he couldn't remember much at all.
He hurriedly asked Zhu Ying as if asking for help: "Yingying, I didn't have a ...... just now."
"Did you say the wrong thing? Of course not. Zhu Yingliu's eyebrows raised lightly, and when she saw Zhu Er breathing a sigh of relief, she said with a smile, "Second brother, you told your future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law a lot of differences between Haidong's cotton seeds and ours in all aspects, and then babbled about peanuts and corn, but the people didn't let you go." β
"I ...... Am I saying that? β
Zhu Er almost felt that his jaw was about to drop. Although it is a wife who has made a marriage contract and is about to pass through the door, it is ...... He can't help but be too puzzled! He hated so much that he almost wanted to strangle himself to death, but seeing that Zhu Ying's playful eyes were the only ones who were not anxious, and at this moment, his head was groggy and he suddenly woke up again.
He said tentatively: "Yingying, I was so dizzy just now, I don't remember what I said, and I don't remember how they reacted. You can do well, don't mention me. β
"Needless to mention, second brother, you did a good job today. The kind of kid who is addicted to his own world and is so single-minded that he is a little stupid and stupid is much better than a simple noble son in the eyes of your future mother-in-law and my future second sister-in-law! β
Zhu Ying smiled as she spoke: "You can put 10,000 hearts, if you really make a fool, I will stand next to you, as for not saying a word, not reminding you?" β
As Zhu Ying said, Mrs. Li and the Wang family mother and daughter were simply indescribably satisfied with the visiting Zhu brothers and sisters. Even if the marriage was decided in the past, they had seen Zhu Er from afar, and the Zhao Guogong Mansion also sent people from time to time, saying that their second son's temperament has changed greatly now, it is better to see it is believing.
A man who will show some gains and losses after seeing them, and when he talks about the future tense, he will talk endlessly about farming, is naturally ten times stronger than the boastful children of Guijie!
The dowry of the Wang family was prepared early, and the Zhu family held two marriages in a row at the end of last year, so it was naturally very familiar. And if it weren't for the sudden illness of Mrs. Tai in bed, the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law Zhang had to serve in Qing'an Hall more often, and it was not Zhu Er who came to the Wang family today but her.
And Mrs. Li has the most dealings with Wang's mother and daughter, and she is also the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, who was born in Weinan Bofu. And see Zhu Ying again today, not to mention that the Wang family is a little more confident in the life after marrying into the Zhao State Mansion, even Mrs. Li can't help but have the idea of going to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva.
God knows that since the Son of Heaven was the matchmaker, and Wang Jie personally consulted their mother and daughter, they actually had a heart hanging - orphans and widows have been dependent on each other for so many years, and refusing such a marriage may affect Wang Jie's future, how can they be so selfish? Now it seems that the Zhu family's style of upbringing is one of the best even in the capital!
As for the statement that Mrs. Chongxi was seriously ill, none of them took it to heart. Everyone is born, old, sick and dies, and if the old man is not allowed to hurry up and watch his second grandson marry his granddaughter-in-law, will she still be left with lifelong regrets?
So, just when Zhang Shou was busy fooling Shanjun, Zhu Ying was busy training the six Goryeo female histories, and the royal family quietly buried the second prince, another marriage in the Zhao State Mansion at the beginning of the year entered a dense process. In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Wang family's makeup, and the people of the capital who were doing good things were still standing along the street, but they saw that the dowry of the Wang family was simple, only thirty-two in total.
Moreover, the dowry in the middle can obviously be seen to be full.
Not to mention the scene of ten miles of red makeup when Zhu Ying got married, it is really too far from the pomp and circumstance of Weinan Bofu marrying his daughter. And these good deeds said that the woman's shabby comments did not affect the mood of everyone in Zhao Guogong's mansion at all. The greeting was still full of smiles, and it was Zhu Tingfang, the eldest brother, who greeted him in front of the door, and the handover of gifts on both sides was not chaotic.
And after welcoming Wang Jie's son and young brother-in-law into the door, Zhu Tingfang said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Tai passed the word this morning, saying that when the second brother and sister enter the door, she wants to divide the family, so she bothers to let my aunt come over the house." β
