Chapter 40: Marriage Proposal
Wen walked to the main seat with a smile on his face, and immediately a maid served tea and snacks diligently.
Gu Huaien hurriedly pulled his wife to get up and prepare to kneel, after all, the Wen family is a first-class lady, they are just a commoner, and they should bow down.
It's just that before his knees were bent, Wen interrupted with a smile, "Gu Gongzi, you don't have to make such a big gift, we are in-laws in the future, there is no need to be so polite, please sit down quickly." ”
Gu Huaien was stunned for a moment, hurriedly thanked him, and pulled his wife to sit back, wondering in his heart, didn't Huaisheng say that the Tang family was disgusted with the poor and loved the rich and unwilling to marry their family, how could he listen to Mrs. Wen's tone so enthusiastic, but it seemed to be extremely willing?
Lin Su'e was also stunned, and secretly pondered in her heart, the husband said that he had come to withdraw from his marriage, but looking at the warm tone and gentle attitude of his wife, he didn't look like he wanted to withdraw from his marriage?
It may also be that people have a good temperament, but they don't want to marry and don't show so contempt and disdain, but they are also hospitable, thoughtful everywhere, and there is really no fault in doing it.
Lin Su'e couldn't help but secretly admire, sure enough, she was the wife of a big family, where was it like Mrs. Fang, the rich man in their town, who had two stinky money nostrils that could face the sky.
In fact, how did Lin Su'e know that if Mrs. Xiangfu was not for her daughter's future, where would she pretend to be so virtuous and virtuous.
Wen took a sip of tea and said apologetically: "It's very unfortunate that Xiangye went to the court today and was not in the Xiangfu, so I will receive you, don't you mind?" ”
After all, the other party is Mrs. Yipin, where do they dare to mind if it is the male protagonist who receives it, and immediately replied: "Don't mind, don't mind." ”
Anyway, whoever receives it is the same, they all come and go!
Wen smiled and asked enthusiastically, "You are here this time for Brother Ling's marriage contract, right?" ”
Gu Huaien replied respectfully: "Exactly." ”
Wen's face was not obvious, and he was still secretly disdainful in his heart, in the end, he was a villager from the mountains, he didn't understand the rules, she took the initiative to ask a lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion, shouldn't he take the initiative to get up and reply, but he politely said a word to avoid hypocrisy and really regarded himself as a guest.
Wen put down the cup in his hand and said with an apology: "I also blame us for this, Xiangye has always been busy and neglected the marriage, and you didn't take the initiative to remind you, so it was delayed until now, but fortunately, it's not too late now, let them fulfill the wishes of their ancestors this year." ”
Gu Huaien was shocked after hearing this, it seems that the Prime Minister really has no intention of withdrawing from the family, and even took the initiative to complete the marriage, if he rashly opens his mouth to withdraw from the marriage now, not only will he refute the face of others, but also be very unreasonable, I am afraid that the Prime Minister will hate them.
I thought that the Prime Minister's Mansion was also waiting for them to come to the door to withdraw from their relatives, but when he took the initiative to mention it, he might hit it off, how did he know that it had become like this all of a sudden?
was hesitating how to speak more appropriately, and Lin Su'e next to her suddenly interjected: "What Madame said is that these two children have been delayed for several years, and it is time to complete the marriage as soon as possible to fulfill the wishes of the ancestors, and we are here this time to propose marriage." ”
Gu Huaien looked back at his wife in surprise, and asked with his eyes, "Why do you say that?" Huaisheng is for us to withdraw from our relatives. ”
Lin Su'e smiled on her face, looked at the prime minister, pretended to drink tea and lowered her voice: "Can't you see that the prime minister's mansion has no intention of withdrawing from the family, are you rashly proposing it to find death?" People are prime ministers, refute their faces, pinch us to death is not as simple as pinching ants, listen to me, follow first, go back and discuss with Huaisheng, maybe Huaisheng agrees in the end? ”
Gu Huaien hesitated, indeed, how noble is the identity of the eldest lady of the Xiangfu, she does not dislike the poor and loves the rich, it seems that the character should be very good, maybe Huaisheng will really agree, if he is the son-in-law of the Xiangfu, then the career after the birthday of the Xiangfu will definitely be smoother, after thinking about it, Gu Huaien did not open his mouth to refute, and acquiesced to what his wife said just now.
Wen looked at the two of them squeezing their eyebrows, sneering in their hearts, they were really ignorant, they must have been happy to hear that they took the initiative to mention the marriage contract, and they began to whisper and discuss on the spot, especially the village woman, the man in charge of the house was talking about business, where did she intervene, there were really no rules, if it weren't for her daughter, she would really be too lazy to deal with these two dirt buns.
took another sip of tea Wen smiled and said: "Actually, Ning'er is already fourteen, and she will be married in October this year, so it's okay to marry now, go back and send the eight characters, and I'll let the master do the math." ”
Ning'er?
Isn't the name of the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion with a clear character?
Gu Huaien asked with a puzzled face: "Dare to ask Madam, isn't the name of the eldest lady of your mansion Tang Yanqing?" ”
Hearing a foreign man directly call his daughter's maiden name with his surname, Wen's eyes sank, and the corners of his mouth sneered: "Gu Gongzi, Ning'er is the third lady of Xiangfu, and she is also the daughter of Xiangye." Our marriage book only says that Tang Heng's daughter is married, isn't it? ”
But I didn't say that I had to be a daughter!
Okay, no wonder he agreed to the marriage contract so happily, it turned out to be this idea, obviously the old man personally admitted that he was Tang Heng's concubine when he was engaged, but now he wants to play this word game for him, and use the marriage book as an excuse to send them away with a concubine.
Can a concubine be the same!
Gu Huaien was about to stand up on the spot to theorize, but his wife held him down suddenly, and said to Wen flatteringly: "It's okay, it's the same, it's the same lady, it's all the Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it's very noble, and it's really written in the marriage book." ”
Listening to his wife's deliberately flattering words, Gu Huai'en was angry, and just wanted to stand up and continue arguing, he was stomped on by his wife, his face turned pale in pain, Lin Su'e lowered her voice and said: "Don't be impulsive, this matter is like this first, we can discuss with Huaisheng when we go back, if Huaisheng disagrees, we can explain it, are you still worried that the Prime Minister will not be able to fortify one of our daughters, you are easy to say the wrong thing in anger now, if you have a grudge, it will also affect Huaisheng." ”
When it came to Huaisheng's future, Gu Huaien still endured it, and sat there indignantly without saying a word, his expression was very dissatisfied.
If they are dissatisfied, Wen is even more dissatisfied.
She was originally very disdainful of this paper marriage contract, but her daughter was not angry and was already pregnant, so she had no choice but to pretend to be warm and hospitable, so that the marriage was finalized as soon as possible.
Giving you a concubine can be regarded as looking up to you, so I let you climb to the Prime Minister's Mansion, how many ordinary people can't ask for it, looking at Gu Huaien's expression just now, do you dare to think that Qing'er is married?
I really laughed to death, and I didn't weigh my identity, and the village woman, who looked greedy, immediately agreed, if they refused, it would be just right, and they would be distracted.
Wen was dissatisfied, but he still pretended to be kind and greeted Lin Su'e, the two exchanged marriage letters, handed over the eight characters, Wen only said that they would calculate the day by themselves, and notify them when the time came.
Don't bother herself, Lin Su'e immediately nodded with a smile, and took the opportunity to flatter Wen a few words.
People love to listen to some praise, although Lin Su'e has nothing to say, but praise people will still be able to, pick the praise that Wen likes to hear, the praise of Wen is very useful, and the good mood rewarded them with a few batches of red silk satin, and sent people to send them out of the house.
As soon as he returned home, Gu Huaien said angrily to his wife: "What are you doing so stammering, can't you see what people are thinking?" ”
At first, he thought that Mrs. Naxiangfu was a person of high and generous character, but it turned out that she was also a person who hated the poor and loved the rich, and his younger brother saw it accurately.
Lin Su'e was reprimanded with a look of grievance: "Isn't this good for you two brothers?" What are you doing so fiercely to me, a lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion took the initiative to fulfill the marriage contract, and we rejected it directly, and people may not know how to give us small shoes in the future! ”
Looking at his wife with a face full of grievances, Gu Huaien felt that his lungs were about to explode, and he pointed at his wife and scolded: "Don't think I don't know your mind, you just can't bear the luxury of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so you want to climb the Prime Minister's Mansion, you use Huaisheng's marriage to cling, have you asked Huaisheng?" If Huaisheng doesn't agree with us to get out of the marriage again, doesn't it seem even more ignorant and greedy? ”
Lin Su'e was a little weak by what her husband said, and her face was a little withdrawn, indeed she was blinded by the luxury of the Prime Minister's Mansion at that time, thinking that even if the concubine was the same as the son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she forgot for a while that her brother-in-law was a very assertive person, if he always disagreed, then she couldn't make him nod strongly.
