Chapter 278: Family Affairs
As soon as Duchess Anguo's voice fell, the laughter of the concubines came from outside the door, Cuiliu picked the curtain and let a few Mrs. Mu in, everyone saw the tangled faces of Duchess Anguo and Mrs. Mu who were half happy and half worried, and they were all a little puzzled.
"Mother, sister-in-law, what's wrong?" After Second Madam Mu sat down, she preemptively asked, "Why is your face so strange?" Hongshang ran to my yard and asked me to come to my mother's house quickly, and the girl also deliberately sold a pass and told me that there was a great thing, why did I come, my mother and sister-in-law looked so strange, and it didn't look like a good thing. ”
"Why is our face strange," Old Madam Mu immediately laughed: "That's right, it's a good thing to come to you!" Your son has a sweetheart, isn't it a good thing for you? ”
"Really?!" Second Lady Mu immediately showed a look of surprise: "Amitabha, after dragging on these days, there is finally a girl in the picture!" I can't wait any longer, and if he drags it out any longer, I'm afraid I'll be in a hurry to choose one on his head. ”
"It's a good thing you didn't choose according to his head," Mrs. Mu replied with a smile: "If you do that, I'm afraid Zhengyi will really follow your wishes, close your eyes and marry someone you are satisfied with." ”
"How?" Several Mrs. Mu looked even more puzzled, and Mrs. Mu San asked: "Mother hasn't passed a long time ago, let Zhengyi choose one you like!" How could he marry one with his eyes closed. ”
"I did," Mu Laofuru nodded, "But if I tell you that Zhengyi likes the granddaughter of Scholar Gu, do you guess he will take the initiative to join us." ”
"Scholar Gu's granddaughter?" Second Mrs. Mu was directly stunned, she never expected that her son would actually look at the girl in the middle curtain Chaoyipin family, this girl's background is very different from the rules of Anguo Mansion's ordinary wife selection, and she was so shocked that Second Mrs. Mu couldn't even speak: "Gu ...... No...... Mother...... No, he ......"
"Oh, you, you," Mrs. Mu shook her head, jokingly laughing at her second daughter-in-law: "They are all people who want to be mothers-in-law, why are they still so breathless." What happened to Scholar Gu's granddaughter? If you marry and enter the door, you have to call your mother-in-law, what? Are you still afraid that you won't be able to hold it down? ”
"Huh?" Second Mrs. Mu was stunned for a moment, and then waved her hand again and again as if she had just reacted: "No, this is not what the daughter-in-law wants." Mother, does Zhengyi really take a fancy to the granddaughter of Scholar Gu? But...... But...... This...... Alas! Zhengyi, this kid, is also too ignorant, how can he ......?"
"What's not sensible," Old Madam Mu pulled her face, looking not too high-minded: "I think it's not good for him to be taught too sensible by you." Looking ahead and looking ahead, I am always worried about those who have and don't, what is the big deal with the granddaughter who likes the scholar of Gu University, I even dare to hire a daughter-in-law from the clan, what about hiring a girl from a family as a granddaughter-in-law? ”
"Mother," Second Lady Mu looked into her mother-in-law's eyes, and was silent for a moment before asking, "Do you really want to hire the granddaughter of Gu University?" You ......"
"Oh, look at you, a mother," Mrs. Mu looked at her second daughter-in-law, her eyes were very disgusted: "It's been a long time, and I haven't asked a word, which granddaughter of Gu University Scholar is in Zhengyi's eyes, just worrying about whether the background of other girls' is suitable or not, I see that Zhengyi's worrying temperament is learned from you." Why, aren't you curious about who your future daughter-in-law is? ”
"Yes," Before Second Lady Mu could speak, Third Lady Mu asked curiously: "There are many granddaughters in Scholar Gu's family, and there are six or seven who are not married, all of them are like flowers. Mother, which one did Zhengyi see? ”
"Who else could it be," Old Madam Mu laughed, "It's Sister Gu Jiu, a friend of the red robe." can make the girl in the red dress happy, and I can't wait for Gu Jiujie to marry in as her sister-in-law immediately. ”
"Zhengyi, this child, but she will choose," the fast-talking Mrs. Mu laughed: "Sister Gu Jiu, I can't find a more beautiful girl than her in Manjing." ”
"Not really!" Old Madam Mu smiled happily: "Everyone says that Sister Gu Jiu is the first beauty in Beijing, she is friends with Hongshang, her character is also reliable, gentle and generous, and her eye for clothes is really good." ”
"Oops," Fourth Lady Mu seemed to remember something, and suddenly smiled back and forth: "Mother, in the future, if there is a lack of your face, Sister Gu Jiu is the first beauty in Beijing, won't you feel uncomfortable, right?" If this first beauty becomes your granddaughter-in-law, she will also be surnamed Mu in the future, and she will all fall in our family, and your face will be bright. ”
"That's different," Mrs. Mu replied very angrily like an old child: "I still look at our red clothes best, I am just eccentric, what can you do with me?" ”
Old Madam Mu and Fourth Madam Mu smiled, but Duchess An Guo and Second Husband Mu's faces were not so relaxed. Of course, they are willing to let Mu Zhengyi marry their beloved girl, but the identity of this girl is indeed a little troublesome for them to come to the Anguo Mansion.
Wanting to marry this family affair is not as easy as the mother-in-law, and the Mrs. Mu present actually understands.
"There should be no problem in Scholar Gu's family," Duchess An Guo was silent for a moment before speaking: "Our mansion is considered a first-class high gate in Beijing, unless Bachelor Gu and his wife want to keep Gu Jiujie as the prince and princess, there is no better person in the capital than our Duke Anguo's mansion." Gu Jiujie also has the intention of asking for clothes for us, the two children are happy with each other, and they are right, there should be no reason to oppose it in their house. ”
"Don't talk too much," Old Madam Mu shook her head cautiously: "It has always been taboo for the ministers to marry the generals who hold the tiger talisman, and the scholar Gu has always been cautious and is not allowed to have any opinions on this family matter, so let's be fully prepared." I thought about it, no matter what, I have to let the clothes go as I want, but it really doesn't work, I went to ask the emperor to give the two children a marriage. ”
"Let's write to the north first," Second Lady Mu hesitated for a long time before speaking, "I have to discuss it with the eldest brother and the prime minister." ”
"Yes!" Mu Laofuru nodded: "By the way, I also ask, this year's New Year, can the third child come back." If the third child can return to Beijing for the Chinese New Year this year to report on his work, I will ask him to go to Gu Bachelor's Mansion to propose his relatives in person, and he will always have enough face. At the moment, I'm only worried that the third child may not be able to come back for the Chinese New Year as planned this year. There are many things in the north, and Rong Di is restless, and the court has sent a messenger to take inventory of the ordnance...... I'm afraid it's hard for the third child to come back. ”
