Chapter 18: Aru Makes Marriage
Seeing off the guests, the two sisters made dowries in the courtyard, and Yaru sat next to her and took a silk handkerchief to help her.
Yaru said: "Second sister, I heard that Yin Gongzi is going to end next year?"
Yayi's face was a little red: "Yes, I don't know if I can win." ”
Yaru smiled: "Daddy admires Yin Gongzi very much, especially the good handwriting." Now someone is asking for Yin Gongzi's words. I'm afraid it's going to be hard to find in the future. Second sister, you and your future brother-in-law are really talented and beautiful. “
"Ghost girl, tease me again, see if I don't hit you. As he spoke, he put down the dowry in his hand and wanted to beat his sister.
Yaru quickly got up and dodged, and the two sisters ran around the house, laughing and laughing.
At this time, Chun'er came in and shouted, "Miss, Miss, the Ling family has come to propose." ”
Yaru stopped and looked at Chun'er.
Yayi froze for a moment, and slowly turned her head: "The Ling family, which Ling family, who is proposing marriage?"
Taohong said with a smile: "Of course it's the Lingjun Palace, isn't there only the third lady left in the mansion who hasn't decided to marry?" ”
Yayi didn't seem to react: "Propose to the third sister?"
"Yes, exactly, Ling Shizi asked to marry the third lady of our family. ”
Yayi looked at Yaru with a strange expression on her face.
Yaru didn't expect that the prince and his wife had just left in the afternoon, and it was only an hour before the matchmaker came to the door, and it seemed that the matchmaker had already been found.
Taohong didn't pay attention, but Yaru had been paying attention to her sister, knowing that Yayi had been in love with Ling Yuanhang, although she was now married to Yin Gongzi, but looking at this expression, it was clear that her heart still hadn't completely let go.
Yayi continued: "It turns out that the person Ling Shizi said is the third sister. ”
Yaru looked at the second sister apologetically: "Yes, second sister." ”
Yayi asked again, "When was it decided?"
Lairu said: "Before the army returns to Beijing. ”
Yayi sat down dejectedly, it turned out that her father had already set Ling Shizi for the third sister, and she knew that the third sister grew up with her father at the border pass, so her father especially liked the third sister, but her father also loved himself and the eldest sister, didn't he? Could it be that in her father's heart, she was still inferior to the third sister? She was the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and with Ling Shizi's family background, she should have determined herself first, shouldn't you? Not to mention that she hadn't decided on her family affairs at that time. ”
Yaru looked at her sister worriedly, wanting to explain, but she didn't know what to say.
Yayi's two girls, Chun'er and Qiu'er, looked at their young lady worriedly. At that time, their own young lady was in the restaurant and looked at Ling Shizi's direction stupidly, they were beside the young lady, how could they not know the young lady's thoughts, but later I heard that Ling Shizi had already settled on someone. Miss let go and made a marriage with Yin Gongzi. God is really joking, it turns out that the girl Ling Shizi said in his mouth is actually his own third girl. The master is really, the second lady has not yet decided on a family matter, how can she go over to set a marriage for the third lady, and it is still such a family background and character. This made the second lady feel how could she not be sad.
Yayi sat down, as if she had drained all the strength in her body: "Third sister, you better go and have a look, maybe your grandmother will call you later." ”
Yaru looked at the second sister's dejected appearance, her mouth moved, she didn't say anything, and walked out with peach and apricot.
In the old lady's hall, the matchmaker the Ling family was looking for was Tang, the wife of Lord Shangshu Sun of the Ministry of War. The old lady and Mrs. Wang were talking with Mrs. Tang.
After talking about the marriage. The three of them began to make small talk. Mrs. Tang said: "Speaking of this new princess of the county, Mrs. Zhong Yongguo, she is a cool and easy person to get along with, I heard that the young lady of the Ling family, Ah Ning, likes this stepmother very much." After the third lady enters the door, she will definitely get along very well. ”
The old lady smiled: "Yes, how can a woman who can make the prince's father-in-law family recognize her goddaughter." ”
Mrs. Wang was also beside her and laughed, but this was not a good taste in her heart. It turned out that the master had already set such a good family affair for the three girls. What even the old lady knows, she doesn't know. Could it be that Yi'er, the concubine, is not as good as a concubine in the eyes of the master?
This person, that's it, it's okay to say that the sister is a mother. It's not a mother's, so I'll have to compare it. The family of a small concubine married to a concubine is higher than the lintel of the concubine, which makes Mrs. Wang, who is the mother-in-law, how can she balance her heart. What's more, Mrs. Wang is not a big person.
After a while, the two exchanged Geng posts. Down's farewell.
In Yaru's yard, the maiden and mother-in-law were all smiling, and felt that the marriage of her own young lady was really first-class. Only Aru couldn't laugh. Xinghong looked at Miss's expression and asked cautiously, "Miss, Second Miss, ...... her?"
Yaru hurriedly stopped: "Don't mention this matter again in the future." ”
Xinghong and Peach looked at each other, and both replied, "Yes, Miss." ”
In the evening, Marquis Guan got off the palace and returned to Mrs. Wang's main courtyard.
Mrs. Wang said angrily: "Master Hou, you are really too partial, they are all your daughters, you don't set a marriage for your sister first, but you set for your sister first." ”
Guan Hou Ye laughed: "Madam, the Ling family asked to marry Yaru at that time, not Yayi. ”
Mrs. Wang was angry: "How could the Ling family know Yaru, it must be that you are partial, master." ”
Guan Hou Ye smiled bitterly: "Madam, Yaru grew up in the border pass, and their father and son both know Yaru. And I didn't tell you, in fact, five years ago, when I came back from the border pass, I met Ling Shizi, and he and Yaru had met. ”
"So what, Aru was only eight years old at that time, how could he have seen it at that time. Mrs. Wang said unconvinced, "Isn't my Yi'er as good as a concubine?" ”
Guan Houye was a little angry, whether Mrs. Wang was angry or crying, he decided on this family matter without discussing it with his wife first, but he didn't handle it well and didn't explain this matter clearly. From Mrs. Wang's point of view, he can understand. But talking about her baby little daughter so contemptuously, Guan Houye felt that Mrs. Wang was really excessive. But he couldn't let her make a fuss out to everyone. It's not good for my daughter to spread it like this.
So Marquis Guan suppressed his temperament, took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears for Mrs. Wang in person: "Madam, Yayi's family affairs have been decided, and you have seen the children of the Yin family." Talent, character, and family background are also first-class and good. It's no worse than Ajou's marriage. ”
"But Yaru will be the princess of the county in the future. Mrs. Wang said unwillingly.
"The Yin family is a century-old family, and it has a rich heritage. Besides, Mrs. Yin is also a very generous person. Our Yi'er will be very worry-free when she marries. Guan Hou Ye said: "One thing has to be seen from two sides, you only see the lintel of the county king's mansion is high, but you don't know that the Ling family also has an unconscious grandmother and a noble concubine who is forced over. Ru'er grew up in the border pass since she was a child, and her personality is much stronger than Yayi, and Ru'er has learned kung fu from her grandfather, which is enough to protect herself. But if Yi'er marries into such a family, she may not be comfortable. Guan Houye patiently analyzed the pros and cons for his wife.
The husband patiently explained, and Mrs. Wang gradually stopped her tears. At that time, Mrs. Wang was really very simple, and after the reason was explained to her, she was no longer happy in her heart, and this matter could be passed. Guan Hou Ye still knows his wife very well.
"Then these two children must be different in terms of dowry. Mrs. Wang still put forward one condition.
Guan Hou Ye was helpless, and said: "Okay, okay, just follow Mrs." "But I was thinking, who knows what the situation will be then. The girl who marries into the county king's mansion, how can the dowry be less, and it doesn't look good if it is less, this is not marrying into an ordinary family. For the sake of peace of mind, let's agree first, and then talk about the matter.
In the evening, Guan Houye kept Mrs. Wang warm for a long time, which coaxed Mrs. Wang to lose a lot of anger.
The next day, Yaru went to greet her grandmother, and on the way, she met her sister-in-law Sun and her two-year-old son, Brother Li, who also went to greet her grandmother.
When Sun saw his sister-in-law, he congratulated with a smile: "Congratulations to the third sister." ”
Yaru was a little embarrassed: "Thank you, sister-in-law." Brother Li, who was walking on the ground again: "Brother Li, do you miss your aunt?"
"I miss my little aunt, my little aunt is beautiful. Brother Li praised the little aunt in a milky voice.
"Hey, look at our Brother Li, who can talk a lot, and Brother Li is also very beautiful. Yaru squeezed her eyes at Brother Li, stretched out her face again, and pointed with her finger: "Brother Li, give my aunt a fragrant fragrance." ”
Brother Li grinned, and then obediently stretched out his little mouth and kissed the little aunt's face.
Aru was so happy that she didn't want it. She also kissed Xiao Ali's cute little face: "Brother Li is so fragrant." ”
Brother Li was embarrassed to cover his little face with his little hands, and the embarrassed cute little Yaru's heart was about to melt.
My sister-in-law took Brother Li's little hand and went to greet my grandmother together.
Madame Wang and Yayi have arrived. Although Mrs. Wang asked Guan Hou Ye to coax her, when she saw Yaru, she was still blocked in her heart, so her face was not very good-looking. Yayi's smile stiffened slightly. The two of them first greeted their grandmother, and then to Mrs. Wang, and then, Yaru called to Yayi: "Second sister." ”
Over there, the grandmother stretched out her hand to greet her little great-grandson: "Brother Li, come here, come to great-grandmother." ”
Brother Li let go of his mother's hand, shook off his two little short legs and ran towards his great-grandmother. He also shouted: "Great-grandmother, Brother Li is here." ”
When the little doll arrived at the old lady's side, he was about to climb up, and everyone laughed to see how he could climb up, Brother Li's chubby little ass arched one after another, and he didn't climb up for a long time. Zhang's mother next to him hugged him with a smile. The little doll arched her body in the arms of her great-grandmother and coquettishly made the old lady so happy that she couldn't see her teeth.
The old man looked at his little great-grandson and said with emotion: "My old wife is also blessed, my children and grandchildren are angry, and my granddaughters are as cute as flowers." Now that I can marry into a good family, I feel comfortable. ”
Sun smiled and said: "Yes, grandmother, you see that the three brothers-in-law are all good talents, and the three younger sisters are also so beautiful, this is all thanks to grandfather and grandmother, grandmother, your great fortune is still to come." ”
The old lady smiled: "As long as you can speak, your sister is good, isn't my eldest grandson Brother Cheng good." ”
Sun grinned and said, "Okay, how can your old man's top man be bad." “
"Oh, doesn't my old lady hurt you?" said the old lady with a deliberate face.
"It hurts, it hurts, which of your old people doesn't hurt?" Sun replied with a smile.
Sun has a lively personality, often coaxing the old lady and the old lady to tease, and everyone is used to it.
Brother Li grinned and shouted to his grandmother: "Grandmother loves Brother Li, Brother Li is obedient." ”
The old lady was even happier, and hugged her little great-grandchild: "Yes, yes, our brother Li is the most well-behaved, and our great-grandmother loves Brother Li the most." ”
Coming out of the old lady's room, Ya Ru pulled Ya Yi: "Sister, come to my courtyard for tea." ”
Yayi looked at her and nodded.
When they arrived at Yixin Courtyard, Peach and Apricot put snacks and tea on the table, and the two stepped back and stood at the door.
Yaru said: "Second sister, at that time, Ling Shizi and I met five years ago. ”
Yayi was stunned: "Have you seen him?"
Yaru said: "Five years ago, my father and I came back from the border and met Ling Shizi on the road, he was injured at that time, and my father saved him. However, there seems to be another hidden reason about his injury, and his father did not let him say it, and he was pretending to be his father's guard to recuperate in the Hou Mansion at that time. ”
Yaru told Yayi about what happened back then.
"Three months ago, my father received a letter from King Ling Jun, and my father said that when Ling Shizi came back from the border pass, the emperor might want to inquire about his marriage, and Ling Shizi didn't want to marry a girl he didn't know, and he didn't have time to meet the right person. Although I was only eight years old when we met at that time, after all, we knew each other, so the Ling family proposed to my father. ”
After hearing this, Yayi breathed a sigh of relief, this is good. In fact, Yayi didn't want to let go of Ling Shizi, but felt that she had lost her love at her father, and now Yaru told herself the whole story, and Yayi knew that it was not her father's intention. She won't be entangled.
She said to Yaru embarrassedly, "I thought Daddy was partial to you. I'm sorry, I misunderstood. ”
Yaru said: "Second sister, Ling Shizi asked to marry me because he had seen me, and I had also seen him, so. We also know each other, and you and Yin Gongzi have also met. My father loved us and created opportunities for us to meet, including my eldest sister at that time. A consensual marriage is always more likely to be happy than wishful thinking. ”
Yayi recalled her sister's words, yes, a consensual marriage always has more chances of happiness than a wishful marriage. I couldn't help but smile on my face.
Seeing Yayi's relaxed expression, Yaru's heart finally fell back to its original place. The two sisters cleared up the misunderstanding and began to talk and laugh again.
Yaru came from another world, and in this strange world, she was glad that she was dressed in such a family. Power, money, status. The population is also simple. My father and mother love her, and my mother-in-law is not bad except for her small heart. Especially the grandfather and grandmother, the two elderly people are very loving. The relationship with my brother and sister-in-law has always been very good. Aru felt that she was so happy. So, she cherishes these emotions. If something really caused a misunderstanding between her and her sister, she would be very sad. Now, the misunderstanding has been resolved, and she can finally rest assured.
