Chapter 9: Preparing for Marriage
In this situation, Bai Zonglin couldn't help but recall the past.
Back then, Bai Zonglin and the Zhao family, who were brought to live at home by his aunt, were both young and vigorous, and the Zhao family took the initiative to give them a hug, so the two tasted the forbidden fruit and made a private decision for life. But unexpectedly, his father was furious when he found out, and he would never agree to him marrying such a doorman's daughter.
Bai Zonglin has always been filial and sensible, and he was not afraid to see his father have such a big fire for the first time, and the two had been separated for a while, and he was told that he was married, so Bai Zonglin gradually died.
But he didn't want the Zhao family to be secretly knotted and pregnant with his flesh and blood, so Bai Zonglin wanted to admit people into the door. It was also the Zhao family who disregarded decency, kneeling in the courtyard like this today, kowtowing incessantly, and kowtowing until his forehead broke the blood, which finally made his father's heart soften.
But it was not appropriate for the concubine to cross the wife and give birth to the child, and he was afraid that the Qi family would not give up if he knew about it, so his father let the Zhao family beat the child before he could enter the door. So later, even if the Zhao family failed to give birth to a son, Bai Zonglin never despised her, and it was because of this apology that he always loved his concubine, but he didn't want to raise a scourge.
However, no matter how her daughter is not successful, Bai Zonglin has always been ruthless to the Zhao family. He sighed and summoned the human: "Go and call Aunt Zhao in, remember not to alarm Madame." ”
Seeing that Aunt Zhao was led into the study, Qi snorted indignantly: "I know, I know!" Your dad is a guy who doesn't know what to do, that little slut has done such ugly things that disgrace the family, and in the end your dad will take it lightly when he kneels and cries twice. ”
Bai Yanran was also surprised by this, but she didn't expect her father to really love Aunt Zhao and let her go so far.
She persuaded softly: "Mother, this matter has nothing to do with you and me, let's just stand by and watch, why bother hurting our bodies." ”
Mother Sun pouted on the side and said, "Miss, you are still a boudoir daughter, and you don't know how to clean up these foxes." According to the old slave, she should take advantage of the master's absence, otherwise she is afraid that she will not know the height of the sky. ”
Seeing that Qi was also eager to try, Bai Yanran couldn't help but have a headache. Mother-in-law is a brave and resourceless character, and there is such a reckless and brainless person around her, no wonder she has never been able to fight Aunt Zhao.
And if this person is loyal and brave, it is fine, but he still can't be trusted, and if he continues to keep it, he will not be a tiger for trouble, and he must find an opportunity to send people away.
Bai Yanran reprimanded with a calm face: "Stupid, what's the use of being happy for a while." Daddy will always go home, and Aunt Zhao is used to reversing right and wrong, and when the time comes, we will be reasonable and unreasonable, which will make Daddy pity her even more. ”
Qi sighed with a sad face: "I'm afraid that the little slut will use some kind of fox tricks, if you say that your real father should do this family business, it will be to throw the face of the Bai family to the ground, I am afraid that even if you say kiss in the future, you will be despised a few points." ”
Bai Yanran smiled and said: "Mother, you are too worried, no matter whether this family affair is successful or not, Daddy and Chunhua Courtyard will find a way to cover their personal feelings." Even if my sister is despised by others, but my sister-in-law is different, how can I mess with her. ”
Qi thinks about it, this is also the truth, the ugly things that Bai Yueyu did can't be spread, so if she wants to marry into the Lin family, let her marry. Even if they are all daughters of the Bai family, how can she compare with her own Yan'er.
"Since my sister is so unscrupulous and wants to marry her, my mother might as well help her, let her ask for kindness, and save herself from staying at home all day long."
Bai Yanran persuaded the Qi family, and Aunt Zhao was crying and complaining about her distress in the study.
The concubine watched Yu'er wash her face with tears every day, always thinking of the old man and the concubine, she really couldn't bear it, but she was afraid of the lord's face, so she wanted to go to the Lin family in person to make it clear, so that Yu'er would die.
But I didn't want to go to know that the Lin family's erlang was also affectionate to Yu'er, and he felt that he was shameless to face Yu'er, and he couldn't think of becoming a monk for a while. ”
Bai Zonglin remembered that he and the Zhao family were also obstructed by his father like this in the past, if he hadn't been hardened later, he was afraid that he would have let her down, and he couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.
"Is that true?"
Aunt Zhao saw that he was loose, and immediately wiped away her tears and said: "How can the concubine deceive the master, it is precisely because of this that the concubine will change her mind and let them come to the door to propose, just to give a lover a chance."
As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage. Although the Lin family's family background is weak, but Na Erlang is a decent scholar, it is rare to be infatuated with Yu'er, and the parents in the family are also honest people, and looking at today's dowry, you can also see their sincerity, presumably Yu'er will not treat her poorly when she marries. ”
Seeing that although Bai Zonglin did not speak in agreement, he did not say anything against it, Aunt Zhao knew that there was a play, and continued: "Parents have been worried for half their lives, isn't it just for their children to have a good future. The concubine is blessed, and she only has such a daughter as Yu'er, so she is naturally planning for her future, does the master think that the concubine will hurt Yu'er? ”
Bai Zonglin pondered for a long time, finally sighed, and said helplessly: "That's it, the matter has come to this, let her go, you are Yu'er's biological mother, you will not harm her."
Since you are determined to get married, it is naturally as soon as possible, but the Lin family can't do it in the end, so this wedding banquet doesn't have to be big, just invite relatives and friends to have a small gathering, and you can do the rest yourself. ”
Aunt Zhao got what she wanted, and she was overjoyed, naturally she pestered Bai Zonglin with all her good words, and even used dinner in Huixin Courtyard, and naturally did not return to Zhaohe Courtyard at night.
The next day, Bai Zonglin went back to Zhaohe Courtyard for breakfast, and only the husband and wife ate silently at the banquet. Bai Zonglin pretended that he didn't know the taste of the food in his heart, and finally had a breakfast, and he waited for a long time before he finally spoke.
"What do you think of the Lin family's proposal?"
Qi remembered her daughter's entrustment yesterday, and held back the impulse in her heart and suppressed her voice: "Although the concubine is Yu'er's mother-in-law, but in the end, her aunt is still there, and I don't want to interfere too much in these things." It's a big matter, and in the end, the master has to make an idea. ”
Bai Zonglin paused, he didn't expect the Qi family to think so openly, and he pondered for a moment before he said: "In this case, for the sake of the sincerity of the Lin family, and the consensual relationship between Yu'er and the Lin family, I agreed to this marriage, and Mrs. can object?" ”
Qi couldn't hold back a sneer in his heart and sighed: "Since the husband has decided, the concubine naturally has no objections. I don't know when the wedding date is? The concubine was also ready earlier. ”
Bai Zonglin coughed dryly, he thought that the Qi family would make a fuss after he knew about it, so he directly handed over the wedding banquet to the Zhao family to prepare, not wanting the Qi family to be so reasonable, but it made him feel a little guilty.
Bai Zonglin patted the back of Qi's hand affectionately, and said softly: "Your body is good, don't be sad about these trivial things." The wedding banquet is not going to be a big one, just invite some relatives and friends who have been close to each other in the past to have a glass of wine, and I will hand it over to the Zhao family, you just have to take care of your body and don't have to work. ”
Qi's smile was a little reluctant, but he still kept his daughter's words in mind and tried his best to keep it low.
"Yes, thank you for thinking so much about the concubine."
The Zhaohe Courtyard is harmonious, and the Chunhua Courtyard is also rarely happy. Aunt Zhao waited for Bai Zonglin to leave early in the morning and went to Chunhua Courtyard to tell her daughter the good news, Bai Yueyu was also relieved, and her heart that had been hanging for many days finally let go, but she hurriedly asked: "What did Daddy say about Lin Lang's troubles?" ”
Aunt Zhao said with a smile: "Good boy, you can rest assured, Xiao Niang will naturally take care of these things for you." Since your father has agreed to the marriage, he will plan for you because of his face, so don't worry about it, and wait for the scenery to get married. ”
Bai Yueyu breathed a sigh of relief, she had been planning to marry Lin Sheng for so long, just so that she could live a good life in the future.
thought that he would be in high school to make himself glamorous and become an official wife, but he didn't want him to fall off the list, but now the situation is pressing, she has to marry, but she is never willing to follow him to suffer. She has suffered so much for him, so naturally she is going to live a good life, and she must live a better life than Bai Yanran!
Aunt Zhao is right, after Bai Zonglin made up his mind to let Lin Sheng be his son-in-law, he had to help him for the sake of his face. There are a lot of people appointed this year, although there are only a few strokes under the hands of the Ministry of Shangshu, but for them, it is very different.
Although there are many vacancies in this county, they are completely incomparable, after all, how can this rich land be the same as the county government in the poor countryside?
Although Bai Zonglin is only a small official of the Ministry of Industry from the fourth grade, he has some connections in the court for many years, and this cheeky silver begging for someone to do things is still a little shameful, and he found an errand for Lin Sheng, not far from the capital, it is a rich and abundant feng shui treasure land, and it is a beauty difference that many people fight for their heads and blood.
Bai Zonglin got things done right now, and the Lin family naturally became more concerned about marriage.
Wang's abacus is very good, although this is a concubine who can't be on the stage, but she can't bear that little lady has the ability. Now that Sheng Er has married such a fragrant dumpling and come back, there will be someone covering it, so it is not impossible to move in the future to be a real official.
Because the Bai family hopes to get married as soon as possible, and they don't want to make a big deal, this Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Najib, Nazheng, invitation, and personal welcome will pass at one time.
The Zhou family was originally busy, but when it came to the recruitment, according to the custom, the woman's family should have given some return gifts, but the Zhou family made up his mind to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Aunt Zhao was also scared of being smashed by a teacup that day, and she didn't dare to go to Shou'an Courtyard, so she had to take out her selfish self and fill it in, and finally she didn't make a fool of her.
The wedding date is set for the end of February, and it is only ten days to make a decent wedding dress, so it will be too late to make a decent wedding dress, so you have to change the ready-made one.
It is taboo to change the old wedding dress, and the implication is not good. Bai Yueyu made a fuss because of this. However, what Aunt Zhao said was right, she couldn't wait for this stomach, so she had to give up in the end.
Seeing that the wedding date is approaching day by day, Bai Zonglin is no longer good at holding Bai Yueyu. Bai Yueyu finally lifted the grounding, and felt that she had a good marriage, not to mention how proud she was.
