"Yes, rectify the family style!" Ning Jinxiu slowly raised the corners of her lips, revealing a calm and determined smile.

Mrs. Lou seemed to finally have the strength, and asked Rui'er to help her and slowly sit up straight: "According to you, what should I do?" ”

Ning Jinxiu was confident, pointed to a pot of azaleas on the desk, and smiled calmly: "Governing the house is like pruning a bonsai, it couldn't be simpler." Mrs. is the owner, this pot of rhododendrons is yours, whether you want to prune it, how to prune it, it is up to you to prune. When it grows too long, cut off the excess; When it grows crooked, it twists it up; When it grows apart, it is tied up with brown silk - there are so many good flowers in the world, if you accidentally raise the rhododendron to death, there will be a pot of peony on this table, just as lively and festive! ”

She said unhurriedly, her voice was soft and soft, but she heard several daughters-in-law of the Lou family shudder.

Of course, Zheng Xian'er is still an exception.

The water in the tea bowl was gone, and no one came to fill her with tea, so she leaned back on the arm of the chair and leisurely tasted the snacks on the table, enjoying herself.

Ning Jinxiu glanced at Zheng Xian'er, the smile on her face froze for a moment, and then added unhurriedly: "Madam, if you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it!" Who ruined the door of the Lou family, who rebelled three times and twice, who made Mrs. feel unhappy all the time, your heart is clear, but why do you tolerate it again and again? Something like today's happens, once it happens enough to become a joke in the whole world, do you have to wait for a second or third time? For those who are unchaste, unfilial, unkind and unjust, your tolerance and concession will not make her grateful to Dade, but will only make her gain an inch! ”

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! There were three crisp slaps outside the door.

This was followed by a loud exclamation: "Well said! ”

Ning Jinxiu turned around suddenly, and the smile on her face immediately bloomed: "Fifth Master Lou!" ”

Lou Que walked in slowly, smiling: "I heard my mother say something about filial piety and faithfulness outside, I also entered the house as a female gentleman in the palace, and it turned out that Miss Ning was here." ”

Filial piety and faithfulness, how long ago was that a topic?

How long has this person been listening outside?

The smile on Ning Jinxiu's face faded, and she became more dignified and reserved. She slowly took two steps forward, greeted Lou Que, and saluted: "Since the five princes have all heard it, then ......"

She choked in her throat before she could finish her words.

Because, Lou Que didn't look at her, and walked straight in front of Zheng Xian'er, smiled, and bent over.

Zheng Xian'er easily stuffed the remaining half of the almond cake into his mouth.

Lou Que smiled and ate, reaching out for tea.

Zheng Xian'er pursed her lips and picked up the empty tea bowl to show him: "There is no tea." ”

Lou Que raised his head and glanced around at the few big girls in Ning Xuan Hall: "You can't even add tea, are you all dead?" ”

A few girls lowered their eyebrows and didn't dare to say more.

Zheng Xian'er pulled Lou Que's sleeve and said with a smile: "Don't scare the girls." Entering Beijing in a hurry, it is inevitable that my wife will not have enough manpower here. When you didn't come, even I was almost called as a tea girl, where can they be busy! ”

"Zheng's!" Mrs. Lou was angry.

Zheng Xian'er turned her face away and blinked, looking innocent.

Mrs. Lou was so angry that her chest was tight and short, she gritted her teeth and scolded: "Don't be pampered! ”

Zheng Xian'er curled the corners of her lips and smiled brightly: "If I am not proud of my pet, what is the use of my 'pet'?" ”

Mrs. Lou was speechless.

Lou Que smiled and looked at his mother: "There are so many girls in Ning Xuantang, she can't even find a person who pours tea, so you want to call her?" ”

"No......" Mrs. Lou was about to explain, but she couldn't say anything.

Lou Que hooked the corners of his lips mockingly: "Who dares to drink the tea she poured?" Who deserves to drink? ”

"Que'er!" Mrs. Lou finally couldn't sit still.

Zheng Xian'er held her stomach and slowly stood up: "Tongjie, this is your mistake." Even if you love me, you shouldn't hurt so much. Why is there no one to drink the tea I poured? It's okay for others, but there's another one in this house who is your fiancée! ”

"Fiancée?" Lou Que glanced around the crowd.

Mrs. Lou hurriedly said: "Not bad! Twenty years ago, when you and Miss Ning were still in your mother's womb, the mansion had already set a family ...... for you."

At the end of the sentence, her voice lowered herself.

Lou Que suddenly smiled: "Finger belly for marriage? ”

"Not bad." Mrs. Lou gritted her teeth and said.

"Okay, even if it's a marriage on the belly-" Lou Que turned around and sat down on Zheng Xian'er's chair before, and then pulled Zheng Xian'er over and let her sit on his lap.

There is no lag in the whole set of movements. Just like when I was feeding the almond cake before, the tacit understanding and calmness of the two people's expressions seemed to be the most natural thing in the world.

However, this is in front of the public, in front of parents and elders!

Ning Jinxiu stood dumbfounded, and the whole person had turned into a piece of wood carving.

These two people......

What a system! What a system!!

But I heard Lou Que continue: "What about Gengti? What about the ceremony? Even if it's a marriage in the belly, you should make up for these things in the later stage, right? You can't just say a joke, even if it's a marriage, right? ”

Mrs. Lou's face was red for a while, and after a while, she asked Rui'er to help her and sit back slowly, and said, "Miss Ning is three or four months younger than you, and when we left Beijing, she was not yet born. ”

"Therefore, there has been no exchange of Geng posts, and there has been no exchange of tokens." Lou Que came to a conclusion.

Mrs. Lou hurriedly said: "The old man and the old lady of the Ning family are the most trustworthy and keep their promises, and if they say that they are married, they will be decided." The rules you mentioned can be reissued now. ”

Lou Que sneered: "Keep your promises, a trace of gold will not be moved, then you must first have that 'trace of determination'!" If you say 'married' without any evidence, does my mother think I will believe it? If there was really a marriage promise, why did my mother never mention that I still had a Yue family in the capital? ”

His words really didn't save face for Mrs. Lou and the mother and daughter of the Ning family at all.

After he finished speaking, Mrs. Lou hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed: "Que'er, you haven't heard of it before, it doesn't mean that there hasn't been this incident. At that time, we moved out of the capital shortly after the promise, and then we broke off contact, neither knowing whether the Ning family gave birth to a man or a woman, nor did there be a middleman to exchange Geng posts for the two families. My lord and I didn't have much hope for this marriage, so I didn't dare to mention it to you rashly. As for your later entry into Beijing...... You are here for learning, how can I bear to distract you with an uncertain old thing? It wasn't until I returned to Beijing this time that my lord and I learned that the girl from the Ning family had not yet married. Que'er, Miss Ning is almost twenty years old! If you delay others to this age, if you suddenly regret your marriage, what should you do with the girl? ”

"It's fine!" Ning Jinxiu suddenly shouted loudly.

Mrs. Lou turned her head to look at her.

Ning Jinxiu stood up straight, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said with a crying voice: "It's okay to get out of the marriage!" If Lou Gongzi is really unwilling to fulfill the marriage contract, there is no need to force this matter! ”

Seeing this, Mrs. Lou became more confident: "Look at it, look at it!" Such a good girl, if you fail you, God will not spare you! ”

Lou Que put down Zheng Xian'er and stood up: "Mother doesn't have to be like this. If there had been a marriage contract, I would not have been the treacherous one. Since my father knew about it, I went to ask him what he had to say. ”

"Stop!" Mrs. Lou panicked.

"How?" Lou Que turned his head and smiled mockingly.

Mrs. Lou then stood up and slowly walked to the door.

Seeing this, Lou Que understood: "Father doesn't know about this at all, right?" ”

"Que'er, this is a good marriage." Mrs. Lou sighed.

Lou Que sneered: "So, the so-called 'finger belly for marriage' is nothing at all, right?" ”

Mrs. Lou's whole face was wrinkled together: "Que'er, it's not important. ”

"Of course it is!" Lou Que's voice suddenly rose, "It's not important, what else is important?" Mother, you're holding a basin and slamming it on my head! ”

Ning Jinxiu covered her face with her sleeves and cried: "You guys...... It's too much of a deception! ”

Lou Que doesn't care if others cry or not. He looked at Mrs. Lou coldly and gritted his teeth: "I have never been afraid of infamy, but this does not mean that I am willing to accept the infamy that was inexplicably forced into me!" Repentance? Stab in the back? Delay the youth of other girls? Mother, I don't want these charges! One or two women who inexplicably posted it said that I had delayed their years, when I was a merchant who walked the streets and alleys to collect rags? ”

Mrs. Lou was reprimanded by him.

If she hadn't passed out once before, she really wanted to fall to the ground like this, it would be better than being so embarrassed at this moment!

Lou Que looked at his mother's crumbling appearance and sighed: "Mother is old and her health is not good, so you don't have to worry about her son's affairs." - Rui'er, why don't you help your wife go back to rest! ”

"Que Er......" Mrs. Lou looked up at Lou Que with a sad face.

Lou Que met her gaze, lowered his voice and asked: "Mother, back then, 'finger belly for marriage', who was referring to whose 'belly' and whose 'marriage', do you really remember clearly?" ”

"...... you" Mrs. Lou's face turned white in an instant.

Lou Que didn't look at Mrs. Lou's face again, and walked straight back and picked up Zheng Xian'er, who was watching the play happily: "Let's go back." ”

Zheng Xian'er is indispensable, if he wants to leave, she will accompany him.

When I walked to the door, I was blocked.

Mrs. Lou raised her head and looked at Lou Que with tears on her face: "In your eyes, don't you have me as a mother?" ”

Lou Que frowned and avoided her gaze: "Twenty years of parenting, my son naturally remembers." ”

Mrs. Lou raised her hand to wipe her tears, and said in a dumb voice: "If you remember, come back for me to sit!" ”

Lou Que hesitated for a moment, took Zheng Xian'er back to sit down, and said in a deep voice: "Mother has the grace of nurturing her son, but she has never had Xian'er. Xian'er only has kindness to the Lou family, and has no debt. Therefore, the son doesn't want his mother to treat Xian'er as a servant and as a bonsai to be humiliated and pruned at will, and he doesn't want his mother to forget her relatives and alienate her just because she was provoked by outsiders, which made Xian'er angry and sad. I hope my mother can understand the truth of family and prosperity. ”

Mrs. Lou wiped away her tears and returned to her place and sat down: "Que'er, don't you really ask the cause of this matter?" ”

Lou Que clenched Zheng Xian'er's hand tightly and didn't look up: "Right and wrong, my son can already hear it clearly outside." Xian'er was at fault, but the root cause was the oppression of her mother and outsiders, so her son couldn't bear to blame her. Mother, Xian'er was originally a person with clear grievances, and she never refused to be wronged, but now that she is pregnant, she is naturally more anxious. If you are angry, you can call your son to reprimand him and teach him a lesson, and he will not complain. ”

Mrs. Lou sat for a long time, shook her head with a wry smile: "What am I scolding you for?" This thing ......"

"Mrs. Lou." Ning Jinxiu didn't know when she had wiped away her tears, and when she returned to the banquet, Chu Chu knelt down pitifully.

Mrs. Lou hurriedly stretched out her hand to help: "What is this for?" Hurry up, hurry up! ”

Zhen'er and Yan'er hurriedly walked over, helped Ning Jinxiu get up and sat on the chair next to them.

Ning Jinxiu wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said in an astringent voice: "Today's events are all because Jinxiu is too presumptuous, loses her duty, and makes her unhappy......

Mrs. Lou hurriedly said: "Don't say that, it's none of your business." ”

Ning Jinxiu wiped her tears and said: "Although Mrs. is magnanimous, Jinxiu has no shame to annoy people here." Beautiful...... Leave. ”

Mrs. Lou was still waiting to be retained, and Lou Que had already raised her head and ordered: "Xiaozhi, Zhong'er, you two send Mrs. Ning and Miss Ning out, there must be no loss!" ”

Xiaozhi was in the house, Zhong'er was outside the door, and the two agreed in unison.

At this moment, Ning Jinxiu's mother and daughter have to leave if they don't leave.

Ning Jinxiu's face was even paler, and her cowardly and helpless appearance was very cute.

Unfortunately, no one appreciated it.

The mother and daughter walked slowly to the door, and Ning Jinxiu suddenly turned around, her eyes glistening with tears: "Madam, you have to take care of your body." ”

Mrs. Lou's tears somehow followed: "Good boy, don't worry." ”

The mother and daughter of the Ning family finally left hesitantly.

Lou Que looked at the door mockingly: "There is a beginning and an end, but it is a scene!" ”

Mrs. Lou sighed, and finally couldn't help but say, "Que'er, Miss Ning is very sensible. ”

Lou Que turned his face and didn't make a sound.

Mrs. Lou somehow became timid and lowered her head.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Aunt An hurriedly smiled: "It's just over, there is no need to mention this matter again!" There are good women in the world, and there are not only prime ministers! ”

The maid came over to add tea, Lou Que nodded slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Who mentioned the so-called 'finger for marriage' first?" ”

Mrs. Lou was silent, and the others just exchanged glances with each other, reluctant to speak.

In the end, it was Han Yuzhu who opened her mouth: "It was Mrs. Ning who said that there was any 'agreement', and Jin Xiang asked 'Is it a marriage contract', and the topic somehow changed." ”

Lou Que laughed mockingly and nodded: "Thank you second sister-in-law for informing." ”

Mrs. Lou gradually stabilized her mood and raised her head: "You don't like the girl of the Ning family, that's fine, but the girl from other families should always pay attention." We parents don't have to force you to be, it's just that Zheng's month is older, you should always have a number in your heart, is it true that she will give birth to the child in her current identity? If this is the case, the child should be considered a third-room in the name, but you will not put him in the name of the third-room......"

Lou Que groaned: "That's not what I said. The archway of chastity in Sangyu County has been smashed, and now Xian'er is no longer the daughter-in-law of the third room. If the mother still thinks it's inappropriate, she might as well write a letter of resignation for the third brother. ”

Mrs. Lou's face was embarrassed: "It's easy to write a letter of resignation, but even if you write a letter of resignation, the fact that Zheng was your third sister-in-law can't be hidden from the world." How do you plan to solve this problem? ”

This was obviously a difficult problem, and everyone present did not look easy.

Aunt An asked tentatively: "Why don't we come forward to help the Zheng family recognize the adoptive parents, just like the Han family, and marry in with a different identity?" ”

Han Yuzhu hurriedly smiled: "This is a good idea. ”

Mrs. Lou slowly turned the Buddha beads and sighed: "Now it seems that it can only be like this." Fortunately, we are new to the capital, and there are not many people who know the Zheng family, so this matter can still be fooled. ”

Aunt An hesitated and sighed: "Everyone on the side is easy to say, but I don't know where to find this adoptive parents?" Most people with status don't want to do such things, and those with too low status don't deserve ......"

Mrs. Lou said in a deep voice: "There are a few sons and young ladies in the rich and noble family, and they are all staring at countless pairs of eyes. If a righteous woman is suddenly added, everyone will be curious, and this matter will not be hidden. In my opinion, the status of this adoptive parent should not be too high, just find a random one among the medium-sized people, and that's it. ”

"Nope." Lou Que objected.

Mrs. Lou looked at him: "Why not?" To marry a wife, you have to marry the right family, but you don't pay so much attention to taking concubines, as long as you are from a good family. Now that we are asking for someone, can we still pick someone? ”

Lou Que still shook his head: "Who said I want Xian'er to be a concubine?" Who said I was going to hide it from the world? ”

"What do you mean by that?" Mrs. Lou was stunned.

Lou Que said in a flat tone: "If I want to hide it from the world, I won't let Xian'er get pregnant in the first place, let alone spread the news." If I want to be a concubine—I don't care, but ask her if you want to. ”

Before the last sentence was finished, he had already taken advantage of Zheng Xian'er's inattention, jumped up and dodged.

Zheng Xian'er really blew up immediately: "You don't care? So, do you really intend to make me a concubine? If you marry another woman in the future, I will still serve tea and pour water in the morning and dusk? Lou Tong steps, you have a good calculation! ”

Lou Que had already fled far away to the door. After listening to Zheng Xian'er's scolding, he spread his hands helplessly: "Mother has seen it, this matter can't be discussed!" ”

Mrs. Lou glared at Zheng Xian'er reproachfully: "Don't be ignorant of advance and retreat!" ”

Lou Que walked back, pulled Zheng Xian'er back to sit down: "Mother, it's not that Xian'er doesn't know how to advance and retreat, but that I and her are advancing and retreating together!" ”

"You're going to marry her?" Mrs. Lou's expression was as if she had seen a ghost.

Lou Que nodded: "That's indeed the plan." ”

Mrs. Lou had already made up her mind to speak well, but at this time, she couldn't help but shout: "You are whimsical! ”

Lou Que smiled: "Then let's continue to be whimsical, and mother doesn't have to interfere." ”

Not only Mrs. Lou, but everyone in the hall felt that it was too nonsense when they heard his words.

This marriage is not worthy!

Even if the woman's second marriage status is put aside, she is still not worthy.

One is born in a family, and the protégé of the Son of Heaven is praised by the world; One is the poor in the market, who earn money by crafts and business methods. Such a marriage, in the official media, don't look at it and reject it directly, okay!

Not to mention the many twists and turns that preceded it.

The fame of the two has spread before, but there is never a shortage of romances in the market, and no matter how sensational the secret is, it will one day be forgotten.

But if the protagonist of the story braves the world's disapproval and marries a family, then even if the "romantic affair" is put on the bright side, the world can see it when they open their eyes, and there is no way to erase it!

Everyone looked at Lou Que and thought he was crazy.

Mrs. Lou stared at Zheng Xian'er, full of anger, but she didn't dare to scold.

After being quiet for a while, Mrs. Lou still sighed to Lou Que: "I can't control you, but ...... No, no matter who calls the shots, you won't be allowed to mess around like this! Que'er, listen to me, even if the two of you are as deep as the sea, you can't compete with the rules in this world! You might as well choose a woman with a gentle temperament and a tolerant wife, and then you can spoil the Zheng family more! ”

She was so bitter, Lou Que's heart was a little soft.

But he still smiled and shook his head: "Mother, don't be persuaded. ”

The Buddhist beads in Mrs. Lou's hand turned around very slowly, one by one.

After being silent for a long time, she finally shook her head and sighed: "That's it, why should I be a villain in vain!" Before, I saw that the girl of the Ning family was a good person, and I wanted the Zheng family to pour tea for her to please her, but it turned out that you all complained about me one by one, and the marriage was not completed...... I don't dare to care about your affairs anymore, as long as you don't miss my glass of thin wine when you become your own children in the future, I will not be a mother in vain! ”

Lou Que clenched Zheng Xian'er's hand when she heard this, and smiled sincerely: "The mother is kind, and the son understands it in his heart." As for the future of the two of us, my mother can rest assured. ”

Seeing that the previous matter had finally been revealed, Mrs. Lou put down a big stone in her heart, and grievances and anger inevitably surged up.

She snorted heavily and sneered, "Let it go!" In the future, if you hit a wall and suffer grievances, don't come to me to cry! ”

Lou Que said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, both of us are unwilling to be wronged, so naturally we won't feel uncomfortable by ourselves." ”

At this point, it's finally over.

Ying'er saw the opportunity to come in and replied: "There are already a few gentlemen in front of you, and the lord and the master are talking together." The lord said that there should not be too many ladies coming over today, so it is good to ask the wife to consider the hospitality. ”

Mrs. Lou was noncommittal when she heard this, and Aunt An sighed beside her: "These banquets are the most trivial and annoying. Originally, it was good to have a daughter-in-law to help her, but now everything is the calculation of the two of us, which is really painful in people's brains. ”

Hu Shi smiled: "We are all stupid, and we have no ability to share the worries of my wife and aunt; The only one who can share his worries is annoyed again, and he refuses to do things because of his temper! ”

"Hey, who do you say is playing with his temper?" Zheng Xian'er was not happy.

Hu Shi spread his hands: "Whoever recognizes it is whoever it is!" ”

Seeing that the two of her began to quarrel, everyone knew that it was time to adjust the atmosphere, and they laughed and laughed.

Aunt An meant to ask Zheng Xian'er to bother to help Zhang Luo, but Lou Que unceremoniously stopped in front: "Xian'er is pregnant, she can't work hard!" ”

So everyone looked at him with a little helplessness.

Can't bother? Why don't you say that you can't work hard when you go to the theater garden? Why don't you say you can't work hard when you open a store?

These two are unfilial and have no conscience!
