Chapter Eighty-Nine: Negotiations
"Click", a Ru kiln lotus pattern celadon tea cup was swept to the ground by the wide sleeves, Luo Yu looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, a single set of tea sets cost nearly dozens of taels of silver, it is not extravagant. Such a valuable thing was so easily dropped by Mrs. Qing'an Hou, Luo Yu couldn't help but feel a little pity.
The sound of this fine porcelain breaking seems to be much better than the sound of the coarse porcelain tea bowl falling to the ground, but obviously Mrs. Qing'an Hou is not in the mood to consider what kind of porcelain falling on the ground sounds good at this time, she seems to think it is incredible, and even her voice is trembling, "What did you just say?" ”
Luo Yu tilted his head and looked at Mrs. Qing'anhou, and then said word by word: "My son just said that I want to marry Chunting as his wife." ”
A few maids who followed Mrs. Qing'an Hou would like to cut off their ears, how could they listen to these words?
Mrs. Qing'an Hou leaned on the brocade mat, her hands clenched tightly into fists, and she forced herself to calm down: "Chunting? This name is familiar, which noble girl is it? ”
Luo Yu felt a little funny, he made it so clear that his beloved mother was still pretending to be confused with him, what was the point? Could it be that if she said that, he would change his mind?
"It's the spring court that my mother knows." Luo Yu gradually lost his patience, "Do you still need your son to say more clearly, it's ...... cousin's side?"
"Enough!" Mrs. Qing'an Hou completely lost her temper, "You are messing around!" ”
"How did I mess around?" Luo Yu raised his eyebrows, and didn't seem to see Mrs. Qing'an's hysterical appearance, "Didn't my mother urge me to get married a few days ago?" Why is it that today I did what my mother wanted, but my mother was not happy? ”
How does this suit her wishes?! Mrs. Qing'an Hou almost turned her back angrily, pointing at Luo Yu's fingers and trembling, "Don't you know in your heart?" Who is she and what are you? Where is that worthy of you? ”
"I think she deserves it." Luo Yu still smiled, "Mother doesn't have to say that Chunting is a cheap maid, if she is, then she will be your daughter-in-law, what are you?" ”
There was a "snap", this time it was no longer the sound of porcelain breaking, but the sound of Mrs. Qing'anhou's slap falling on Luo Yu's face. This blow was not light, and Luo Yu turned his head away, Luo Yu tapped the red and swollen corners of his mouth with his fingers, and finally smiled, "Mother, now that the world has changed, can't you still see clearly?" ”
Mrs. Qing'an Hou snorted coldly, "No matter how much this world changes, it can't change the fact that she is a minion!" You don't have to mention it again, I will never agree, even if you have convinced me that your father cannot be left to your temperament. In the past few years, you just messed around, but now it's time for you to take care of it! ”
"If the mother is worried that the father will not allow it, there is no need, the son has already sent a letter to Jingzhong a few days ago, and I just received a reply from my father yesterday, and my father has approved this marriage, why don't I bring the letter to my mother?" Luo Yu didn't care at all, no matter what Mrs. Qing'an Hou said now, it was not a threat to him, he was here to inform her today, not to discuss with her.
Without waiting for Mrs. Qing'anhou to react, Luo Yu continued: "Speaking of my father, I remember that my father mentioned in his letter that there are no female dependents in the family, and it is inconvenient for him to come forward in many things, but my mother misses my father? Why don't sons send someone to escort their mother back to Beijing? ”
Hearing Luo Yu say such words, Mrs. Qing'an Hou broke out in a cold sweat, and looked at Luo Yu in shock, he was threatening her? Now what the situation outside Luo Yu will not be clear, when they went all the way south, the situation was not as good as it is today, and that kind of thing still happened, if they go back to the capital now, not to mention the bumps on the road, there are many militiamen who have rebelled along the way, and it is hard to say whether there is a life or not!
Mrs. Qing'an Hou looked at Luo Yu with a complicated expression, since she went south, she had noticed that Luo Yu had changed, but this child, who had been neglected by her since she was a child, had unconsciously grown into a strange appearance to her. In the eyes of Mrs. Qing'an Hou, Luo Yu has always been undisciplined and has achieved nothing, but since he went south, this child's behavior is very different from the stubborn teenager in her impression.
A deep sense of powerlessness surrounded Mrs. Qing'anhou, she knew that she had lost this game, Luo Yu came prepared, but she was caught off guard.
"I don't want my mother to suffer on the road. It is best if the mother can stay, so that when she goes to Huaiyang to propose marriage, there will be someone to handle it for her son. After Luo Yu said this, he turned around and left, leaving Mrs. Qing'an Hou to grit her teeth in place.
It gets colder and colder in the winter moon, Chunting has always been afraid of the cold, and after the weather cools down, he doesn't go out much, and every day his house goes to the east chamber at two o'clock, and even Zhu said that she doesn't have the vitality of a little girl.
Chunting is like a little animal that wants to hibernate, the whole person is lazy, if it weren't for Brother Yan'er starting to move well, I'm afraid she would be nested in the house and not moving.
When the wax moon was approaching, Bai Huanru finally took over the feed, and she was going to start handling it during the Chinese New Year this year. The Chinese New Year is the top priority, Bai Huanru has not done it before, but it is the first time for such a big family to run in Huaiyang's old house, so she has to cheer up, and she even has less time to accompany her brother every day.
Winter Cocoon's marriage was originally intended to be set for the year before, but Bai Huanru was really short of manpower around her, so she had to wait until the year after the year.
Bai Huanru originally thought that this was enough, but looking at Luo Yu sitting in front of him, he still felt a headache.
Su Hanran sat beside Bai Huanru, looking at Luo Yu opposite and a little surprised, "What is the matter with Yi'an's coming this time?" "Why do you have to talk to his daughter-in-law about something?
Su Hanran didn't know why, but Bai Huanru guessed Luo Yu's intentions, but he didn't want to talk. As long as she speaks, Luo Yu can climb up the pole, and the first person to speak is a fool!
Luo Yuxiao is harmless, "This is a big deal, I don't want to ask my cousin-in-law for a favor if I don't come here in person, I don't know if my cousin-in-law can do it." ”
Bai Huanru took a sip of tea elegantly, and Luo Yu pretended not to know without mentioning her, "I'm just a woman, what can I help with Yi'an." ”
"I have to be a heroine like my cousin to help me in this matter." Bai Huanru refused to take the bait, and Luo Yu was not annoyed, "I can't hide it, I came here today to ask my cousin-in-law to help me be a matchmaker." ”
As soon as these words came out, Su Hanran was surprised, but Bai Huanru had a feeling that she had finally come.
Quan Dang couldn't understand what Luo Yu was saying, Bai Huanru looked down at the tea leaves floating in the tea cup, and pretended to be surprised: "Yi'an, which girl did you fall in love with?" Why didn't you consult with your aunt, but instead found me, who was my cousin-in-law? ”
"I fancy the Chunting girl next to my cousin-in-law, so I naturally want to come to my cousin-in-law to discuss this matter." Luo Yudao.
Su Hanran was even more surprised, Chunting? The maid next to Bai Huanru? Oh, it's the girl who got lost with Luo Yu and was found by Mrs. Su together.
Wait, Su Hanran suddenly realized, did he, understand something?
Bai Huanru's eyes narrowed, "Do you know that you came to your aunt today?" Can Chunting know? Why don't you wait until the new year to come back and rush to this time? ”
After throwing out a few questions, Luo Yuzi didn't see Luo Yu's confusion, but answered them one by one in an orderly manner, "My mother naturally knows about coming today, but Chunting doesn't know, I'm afraid that she won't let me come after she knows; I heard that my cousin-in-law has a maid who is about the same age as Chunting and has already been matched, and Chunting has already been married, so I'm afraid that if I'm late, I'll ask my cousin-in-law to give it to someone else. ”
Bai Huanru disagreed with what Luo Yu said, "Chunting is a slave and has a low status, I'm afraid that I am not worthy of you, the son of the world, and I have no intention of letting my maid be a concubine for others." The prince accepted his cousin's maid as a concubine, and I am afraid that the prince will not be happy when he talks about it. ”
Addressing from Yi'an to Shizi, Bai Huanru said it bluntly, weighing the pros and cons and putting it in front of Luo Yu clearly. These Luo Yu naturally knew it, and also heard what Bai Huanru said, "My cousin-in-law said that I was joking, since I said that I wanted to marry, it is natural that Ming Media is marrying and asking Chunting to be my wife." I know what my cousin-in-law said, so I said that my cousin-in-law had to come forward for this matter. ”
"Master Hou and Mrs. agreed?"
"Of course I agreed, if my parents don't allow it, I won't be able to marry Ming Media over there." He can't let his little girl suffer this grievance, so he will settle these things.
Bai Huanru looked directly at Luo Yu for a long time, and saw that he was not half distracted, so he said: "I have seen the two of you support each other all the way, although you and I are close in age, but since you call me a cousin-in-law, I will take care of me." It's not that I don't know about the little actions you did in the past, and it's not that I didn't warn you, and since you can sit in front of me today and say this, I believe in your sincerity. ”
"But Chunting is a subordinate This is an unchangeable fact, even if I get rid of her slavery, there will be others who chew their tongues. And Chunting's temperament is not a material to be a housewife, you will definitely inherit the family business in the future, Mrs. Hou, I'm afraid that Chunting won't be able to do it. ”
"Besides, have you ever asked the meaning of the Spring Court?"
Luo Yu's face was calm, "Chunting is only fifteen years old, how can my cousin-in-law assert that she can't do this?" It's just that she can't do it, as long as I'm here, I can teach her little by little, but what if she can't do this? I like her, she is not without feelings for me, although I have not asked her what she means, but I have also expressed my heart to her many times, I don't think there is a better choice in this world besides me. ”
Indeed, if there is no Luo Yu, Chunting can only marry a steward at most, whether it is appearance, life or character, Luo Yu is the best choice, not to mention a maid in Chunting, even the prince and noble daughter Luo Yu is also worthy.
