Chapter Twenty-Six: The Collapsed Lady Xiao
As soon as the first month passed, the letter sent back by Mrs. Xiao finally had a reply, I thought that the family's opinion was also to get out of the marriage quickly, but I didn't want Mr. Xiao to say in the letter that he would follow Xiao Zhi's wishes.
"What do you think, sir? The village girl also nodded? Mrs. Xiao was surprised, but since she had already nodded, she didn't really want to see her son become a monk, so the marriage was admitted.
Now that the relatives are decided, she also happens to be in Yunzhou City, so it is not good not to go to the other party's house to have a look. But look at it, the countryside people must also be vulgar, and the more you go, the more you look at it, the more you will be blocked. However, after all, it is her future daughter-in-law, and she has to pass it over.
took the letter to Xiao Zhi, and Xiao Zhi was very happy when he heard that his family had agreed. When Mrs. Xiao asked to deliver a letter to Kyoto City, he also wrote a letter and sent it directly to his grandmother, and now he had expected such a result.
"Although your father agreed, I also have to meet this woman, and I will also say the rules that should be said before I have passed the door." Mrs. Xiao said that when her daughter-in-law enters the door in the future, she will have to stand on her side.
As soon as he heard that he was going to see Xi Hongdou, Xiao Zhi said: "It's okay to see if you want to, but if my mother says that I don't have anything, then I should not see it." ”
"Hey, your mother and I look at the future daughter-in-law, can't you say a few words?" When Mrs. Xiao saw that her son was so protective, she was even more curious about where this future daughter-in-law was sacred, and even his son could be so well-behaved?!
Xiao Zhi said: "My mother's set in the house may not work for others, I'm really going to be anxious, people won't marry me, and I will go directly as a bald donkey!" ”
Mrs. Xiao felt that she had really created an obstacle for herself......
"Okay, don't say it, let's go see the head office, right? If you weren't a girl from a good family, then you wouldn't be allowed to enter even if you really went to be a bald donkey! Mrs. Xiao said.
Xiao Zhi smiled and said: "Then I'll go with my mother, send a message to others today, and prepare to prepare, it's rude for us to come to the door so directly." ”
Mrs. Xiao felt incredible, Xiao Zhi even knew about etiquette? She really wants to meet this Xi Hongdou soon!
Xiao Zhi hurriedly asked Chief Steward Wu to find someone to send a letter to the Xi family, saying that he would come to visit tomorrow, and when the Xi family received the letter, they were also a little nervous, the wife of the Xiao family was coming, and she must have wanted to see what kind of family their Xi family was.
"Hurry up, clean up the yard at home, it's a joke!" Aunt Xi felt the pressure, her daughter's in-laws were too high, and their mother-in-law was also tired, and the pride of the past few days was really not in vain.
Sister-in-law Xi and sister-in-law Xi quickly cleaned up, and Father Xi saw it and said: "There is no need to be like this, people are married, not married, our yard is okay." "The courtyard and houses of the Xi family are not small in Xijia Village, and they are not considered to be falling.
Aunt Xi said: "Isn't this afraid that red beans will be looked down upon." ”
"I already know what our family is like, if you really look down on it, why do you want to mention it? Since you have proposed, you can't be disgusted with this or that. Daddy Xi said.
Aunt Xi sighed, her daughter married well, is she blessed or not?
The next morning, Mrs. Xiao came to Xijia Village in a carriage, looked at the scenery along the way, and said: "It really feels like a land of fish and rice." ”
Xiao Zhi smiled: "That's why I said that this place is good, and the people raised are good." "Xi Hongdou is very good.
Mrs. Xiao glanced at Xiao Zhi blankly, and then entered Xijia Village.
Butler Wu drove directly to Xi's house, and as soon as he saw the carriage coming, Xi Lin hurried into the house to report the news, Aunt Xi and Father Xi also came out, and Xi Hongdou followed, and he was also nervous.
Second sister-in-law Xi looked at this posture, and she didn't dare to open her mouth as usual, and she didn't open her mouth today.
Mrs. Xiao entered the courtyard of the Xi family, first looked at the living environment of the Xi family, it was clean and tidy, and it also had a rural atmosphere, and then looked at the Xi family, and felt better than she thought. She also thought that the Xi family was poor, with a broken house and a broken yard.
The two families greeted each other, Xi Hongdou also stepped forward, Mrs. Xiao saw it, and felt that this Xi Hongdou was also respectful and polite, and his small appearance was also good.
"I came from afar and brought some things to my in-laws." Mrs. Xiao had a faint smile on her face, and Xiao Zhi was much more relieved to see her mother like this.
Mrs. Xiao usually closes the door and what the family should say, but now she can't say that she has a temper in front of her in-laws.
Aunt Xi invited people in to sit, and specially made good tea and served snacks.
Everyone sat down together, and Mrs. Xiao said, "What kind of books do you usually read?" ”
Aunt Xi was just about to say something, Xi Hongdou said: "Just read some books such as women's training and female precepts, and then there are those who plant flowers, and I haven't read anything else." ”
Aunt Xi nodded in her heart when she saw Xi Hongdou say this, Xi Hongdou has read a lot of books, especially during this time and read some agricultural books, she is also afraid that Xi Hongdou will really say something that will leave a bad impression on Mrs. Xiao.
Mrs. Xiao also weighed in her heart, and this answer was a bit too ...... It's not true, but even if it's not true, it shows that this Xi Hongdou has some eyes and knows what to say.
Mrs. Xiao asked: "The red bean girl ...... before" Before the words were finished, Xiao Zhi said: "It was good before!" "This is the signal, lest I talk about Xi Hongdou being rumored to be Kefu before, what if her mother is too careful? And the Xi family shouldn't want to hear these things.
Mrs. Xiao was unwilling, but before she came, she also said that she was not allowed to say this and that, so she could only shut up first at this time, but Aunt Xi spoke first.
"Although my family's red beans were rumored to be Kefu before, I also said that your family didn't mind when I proposed marriage." Aunt Xi said that what she was most worried about was the "Kefu".
Xi Hongdou didn't dare to breathe, Mrs. Xiao didn't know if she knew about the previous thing, if she didn't know, wouldn't it explode at this time?
Sure enough, Mrs. Xiao was stunned for a long time, and Xiao Zhi hurriedly said: "I don't mind, and the approval documents have come out, a match made in heaven!" ”
Xi Hongdou looked at Xiao Zhi and said on both sides, thinking that it was not easy for him, but in the end, it still depends on Mrs. Xiao, looking at her mother's face, if Mrs. Xiao can say the word "divorce" today, it is estimated that Aunt Xi will dare to directly take a knife and splash blood on the spot.
Mrs. Xiao's face turned the color of pig liver, but she also remembered what Xiao Zhi said that if she said that she would withdraw from the marriage, what would Xi Hongdou do if she found a short-sighted meeting? !
"Don't mind ......" Mrs. Xiao bit out the three words, but these three words also made the Xi family feel much more at ease, and now this marriage is completely determined.
Mrs. Xiao left the Xi family in a hurry, and she still had to settle accounts with Xiao Zhi!
As soon as the carriage left the village, Mrs. Xiao slapped Xiao Zhi twice and said, "You kid, forget the village girl, you still marry a Kefu, do you really think you have a long life?!" ”
Xiao Zhi didn't hurt or itch when he was beaten, so he said, "I don't believe what Kefu said." ”
Mrs. Xiao sighed, when she said that Xiao Zhi was a wife, Xiao Zhi also reacted like this, but in the end, he still didn't believe it.
"How can I explain this to your father and your grandmother?" The more Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Zhi, the more angry she became, and she raised her hand and slapped a few more times.
Xiao Zhi smiled: "If my mother doesn't say it, it's fine, Kyoto City is so far away, can this news go so far?" ”
Mrs. Xiao thought about it, and said: "I have to find someone to unite again, if it still doesn't work, then I don't care, I should withdraw from the marriage or withdraw from the marriage!" "Xiao Zhi's life is indeed hard, I'm afraid that it will be even harder when I encounter my life!
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he didn't panic even more, just replace it when the time comes, do you want to withdraw from this marriage? No way!
The Xi family here is relaxed, Daddy Xi was still a little worried earlier, when the housekeeper Wu came to propose, he was also vague about the "parents' life", and now the mother of the family is also in the face, and there is nothing to worry about, but now Xi Hongdou is running to the field if he has nothing to do, and he has reached the marriageable age, if he gets tanned, he will not look good when he gets married.
"Red Bean, don't run out these days, you are also going to get married, you should also think about the dowry." Father Xi said: "Your mother should also tell you what to do at your mother-in-law's house, and don't make jokes in the future." "My family is indeed used to my daughter, but my mother-in-law's family is not necessarily used to it, no matter how willful my mother's family is, I have to pay more attention everywhere when I leave the house.
Xi Hongdou said with a smile: "It's just a marriage, and I didn't say that I will get married one day, don't worry, how old am I?" "She is really not in a hurry, her career has just started to improve, and she doesn't want to get married so early. Although Mrs. Xiao didn't say anything when she saw her, it is estimated that even if she really marries, I am afraid that she will not be so free.
"It's going to be fifteen, and some of the girls in the village will get married at thirteen, so it's not too early for you!" Aunt Xi said: "I have also prepared your wedding clothes for you, and the title deed for your marriage is also easy to bring, but other things have to be a little, and you can't pass it bare." "According to the customs of the village, there are a lot of sewing boxes and mandarin ducks that are washed by pillows.
Xi Hongdou has a weak heart, she really doesn't want to marry so early.
Here, sister-in-law Xi went to the county seat, and Xi Hongdou had to buy the dowry little by little, she was the sister-in-law of the long house, so she had to be busier.
When passing by the Han family's grocery store, Sister-in-law Xi hesitated for a moment, and finally thought about changing to another house, and it was embarrassing to see her at this time.
As a result, Han Yushu saw Sister-in-law Xi from behind the cabinet and quickly chased her out.
"Sister Xue!" Han Yushu screamed.
Sister-in-law Xi broke out in a cold sweat, but she could only reluctantly smile and say, "Alas, the jade book is here." ”
Han Yushu actually wanted to ask Sister-in-law Xi about something, so he let Sister-in-law Xi enter the door, and there were no customers in the store at this time, so Han Yushu asked: "Sister Xue, is the red bean girl really married to Xiao Zhi?" ”
Sister-in-law Xi's face froze suddenly, but she still asked......
