Chapter 401: Coming
The current British government is like a sieve, and the more so-called "secrets" it is, the faster it spreads.
Song Han shouted about marrying Jiang Chuxiu, and naturally he couldn't hide it from Song Yichun.
But Song Yichun remained silent very strangely.
Song Mo was very confused: "Isn't my father against Tianen marrying my cousin?" ”
For him, his cousins can have a stable place, whether they marry into their family or someone else's family, he is happy to see it.
He was afraid that his father would think the same as Song Han, and when the time came, he would harm Jiang Chuxiu.
Dou Zhao didn't believe it.
Song Yichun's original attitude is already obvious, he will never let Song Mo have a good time, but he also doesn't want the British government to break off the inheritance, he always has to catch one of the two sons in his hands, and it is inevitable to find a strong wife for Song Han.
She said: "The second master wants to marry his cousin, it depends on whether the Jiang family agrees or not, why should Grandpa Guo jump out and be a villain?" And if this matter is paid, others will only say that the grandfather of the country respects his deceased wife, and for the sake of his wife's family, he would rather ask for the daughter of a criminal minister for his second son. Face, it's all there, why not! ”
Song Mo couldn't help but nodded.
He knew the Jiang family.
If the Jiang family was still in its heyday, and his father asked for Song Han's marriage, even if the Jiang family was not very satisfied with Song Han, they would reluctantly agree to this family business. But now that the Jiang family is down, if they respond to this family affair, they will inevitably be suspected of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, and the Jiang family will never agree.
Dou Zhao has another concern.
A big reason why the King of Liao used Song Mo in the previous life was because Song Mo was the nephew of the Duke of Dingguo, and he could use the connections of the Duke of Dingguo for several generations to point out the dead soldiers who were raised by the Duke of Dingguo. In this life, Song Mo is destined to be unable to do his best to help the King of Liao rebel, will the King of Liao use Song Han, who is also the nephew of Dingguo?
If Song Han marries Jiang Chuxiu, in the eyes of those who have received the favor of the Duke of Dingguo, Song Han will make them feel closer than Song Mohui.
Of course. If Jiang Chuxiu really marries, day by day, she will definitely feel a pimple in her heart.
So the next day, she urged Song Mo to go over to Mrs. Jiang Si early in the morning: "We slept well, and the fourth aunt didn't know how to spend the night?" There are a lot of things to do today, let's go over early, first, we can help, and second, we can also send a message to the fourth aunt, so that her old man can send Lizhu's out of the pavilion with peace of mind. ”
Song Mo felt that what Dou Zhao said made sense, although the wedding was scheduled for the evening, they went to the fourth wife of the Jiang family before the end of the day.
Dou Zhao told Song Yichun's attitude to the fourth wife of the Jiang family. and tactfully tested the fourth wife of the Dou family: "Song Han is young, and in the past few years, he has been reading and writing with Grandpa Guo, and he is sincere to you." Some things are not well thought out, please don't blame them. Fortunately, his heart is good, and the fourth aunt should also be pleased. ”
The fourth wife of the Jiang family pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "I understand your kindness, the more so." The sooner we have to go back to Haozhou, the sooner we are. A few years ago, Liuzhou Wei commanded Lord Liu to ask for the eldest son to marry Xiuxiu, just because the second master of our family treated him kindly, and the ancestor was afraid that others would say that our family was coercing him to repay him, so he did not agree to this marriage. Later, the ancestor died of illness, and the marriage of several children was delayed. When I came to Kyoto a few days ago, I heard from your aunt that now Liuzhou Wei commanded Lord Liu to marry his eldest son again. She felt that the Liu family was too far away from us, and she was afraid that she would not be used to marrying Xiu, so she discussed this matter with me. At that time, my whole mind was on Quan Lizhu. I didn't care about it. Now that Lizhu is married, I also have time to discuss the marriage of several children with my sister-in-law. I'm afraid that I will live up to the kindness of Grandpa Guo. After speaking, as if he was afraid that Dou Zhao would suffer, he said to her pointedly, "I know that being a daughter-in-law should take care of Ah Weng." I also have to take care of my husband. But your father-in-law is a widower, at his age. If you don't continue the string now, you will continue the string in the future, you just need to take care of the inkstone, and the affairs of Grandpa Guo's side, you can get by on the big side. ”
Dou Zhao was a little ridiculous.
The fourth wife of the Jiang family must have thought that she was ordered by Song Yichun to test the marriage!
While she laughed and laughed, she couldn't help but feel grateful to the fourth wife of the Jiang family.
Anyone who has the slightest insight into her will not be so heartfelt by her.
It can be seen that Song Yichun's attitude towards Song Mo made the Jiang family very uncomfortable.
She nodded with a smile and reminded the fourth wife of the Jiang family: "Second master, I have already sent someone to watch him." It's just that the British government is still in charge of the country after all, and there are some things that are hard to say. I'm afraid that this matter will spread now, and Grandpa Guo will become a person with affection and righteousness, and the Jiang family will be said to be dustless, which will be a stepping stone for Grandpa Guo. ”
The fourth wife of the Jiang family understood what Dou Zhao meant after a little thought, and she smiled: "I understand, there are some things that I will take precautions against." ”
Since the Jiang family was able to send the fourth wife to give the marriage, it can be seen that the fourth wife is a person who can stand alone. Dou Zhao put his mind at ease, smiled and talked to the fourth wife of the Dou family, and went to the hall.
As soon as the curtain on the retreat was lifted, Jiang Chuxiu walked in.
She boldly looked at the fourth wife of the Jiang family and said bluntly: "Does my aunt want to marry me to Liuzhou?" ”
"How is that possible?" The fourth wife of the Jiang family said lightly, took Jiang Chuxiu's hand, and sighed, "The Jiang family doesn't know how many girls marry into martial arts, and they become widows at a young age, are there still few such examples?" It's just that we are supported by the Dingguo Mansion and contribute to the Dingguo Mansion, and we should be, and there is no reason to complain and blame. Now that the Jiang family has died once, we have done our best to fulfill the last wish of our ancestors, and in the future, we will have to live for ourselves. I won't talk about the marriage before, but you guys, your aunt and I mean the same thing, and I want to keep you all around. ”
Jiang Chuxiu glanced at her eyes, and then tears fell down her eyes, and she didn't know whether she was wronged or relieved and shouted "Fourth Aunt".
"Silly boy!" The fourth wife of the Jiang family stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Chuxiu's shoulders and said in a low voice, "When you hand over the things to me, I knew your wishes. ”
Jiang Chuxiu nodded, and said with a tearful smile: "There are also four aunts!" ”
The fourth wife of the Jiang family smiled hehe, and said, "I can't compare to your aunt who is brave and strategic", and took out a handkerchief to let Jiang Chuxiu wipe her tears, "There are a lot of guests today, don't let people see any clues." ”
Jiang picked up his head and saw that there was no trace on his face. Only then did he leave the banquet room.
Jiang Chuying leaned in front of the pillar under the retreating eaves, looking at the blue sky in a daze.
Hearing the movement, she raised her head and nodded to Jiang Chuxiu.
Jiang Chuxiu paused, walked over, and leaned side by side in front of the pillar with Jiang Chuying, looked up at the sky like she had just done, and said softly: "What are you looking at?" ”
In the rectangular sky, a flock of pigeons flew by, and the shrill sound of pigeon whistles broke the silence of the courtyard.
Jiang Chuying looked at the sky and muttered, "I'm thinking." I don't know if I'll ever have a chance to see the sky of Kyoto again......"
There are also people.
She said silently in her heart.
The hand gently flicked a string of agarwood hand beads on his wrist.
Jiang Chuxiu turned her head and her gaze lingered for a moment between the beads of her hand.
She still remembers that it was the Lantern Festival four years ago. They are also the young ladies of the Dingguo Mansion, and Song Yantang, the prince of the British Mansion, came to congratulate their grandmother, in addition to the gifts for the elders, each of their sisters got a string of agarwood hand beads.
Hanzhu's cousin threw it in the mirror after changing her hands, and she happily put it under the pillow. The fourteenth sister wore it on her arm, day and night.
So when they raided the house, their hand beads were lost, and only the fourteenth sister's hand beads remained.
But so what?
She looked up at the sky and whispered, "My cousin-in-law is beautiful." The people are also very nice...... Looking at my cousin's appearance, I also love my cousin...... He used to be a man who walked away with his feet, so it was good to send a little guy over and ask...... Now I go down to the office every day to pick up my cousin...... He's doing well......"
But a layer of fog appeared in the eyes of the heart. There was also a sour feeling in my heart.
Jiang Chuying remembered that the sisters hid behind the holly tree together and secretly watched the brothers shoot arrows and were discovered, she and her sisters laughed and hid in the rockery, and the thirteenth sister ran the slowest and was caught, but she stood still in a hurry. A pair of big eyes stared at the cousin of the Song family without turning, but said in his mouth: "I see that my brothers can shoot arrows." I came to cheer for my brothers. ”
She couldn't help but smile with a pursed mouth.
In the past, everything was like a beautiful dream, and now, what do you care about?
"yes!" She said heartily, "Knowing that my cousin and they are doing well, I don't have anything to worry about." ”
There was a faint sound of laughter.
Jiang Chuying stood up straight with a smile, gently dusted off her clothes, and said, "Thirteenth sister, there should be a guest coming, let's go out to entertain the guests, right?" ”
Jiang Chuxiu smiled and responded "good", and the sisters went to the hall affectionately.
※※※※※
Jiang Lizhu returned to the door on the third day, and the daughter of the Jiang family left Beijing on the fourth day.
When I left Beijing, everyone who went to Jiang Lizhu's wedding knew that the fourth wife of the Jiang family decided to leave the other girls in Haozhou, and several younger brothers in the year of the general horn also had something to rely on.
Despite this, Song Han did not rest.
He knelt in the main courtyard of the British Mansion and begged Song Yichun to be the master and begged him for the daughter of the Jiang family.
In his words, to be able to get close to a foreign family, Mrs. Jiang must have been gratified to know it underground, and nodded in agreement.
For a time, Song Han's reputation for filial piety spread.
Song Yichun called Song Mo and the others to the study, and said to Song Han with a smile: "It's a pity that Chuxiu and Chuying have already been married, and if you want to marry your cousin, I'm afraid it will take a few years." ”
The other daughters of the Jiang family are still young.
Song Han said: "As long as my father agrees to let me marry the daughter of the Jiang family, I would rather wait a few years." ”
His categorical tone made Dou Zhao wonder.
Song Han admires Jiang Chuxiu and wants to marry Jiang Chuxiu as his wife, which is understandable. But the Jiang family has clearly rejected him, and he has gained a reputation of "filial piety" because of this, why do you insist on marrying the daughter of the Jiang family? And listening to his tone, it seems that as long as she is the daughter of the Jiang family, then does he really love Jiang Chuxiu or is it just because Mrs. Jiang once wanted to marry Jiang Chuxiu to Song Mo?
