Chapter 3 First Meeting
Zhuo Li walked outside and sat on the chair of the first master, and Lin took the tea made by the girl and sent it to him.
"You can sit down too." Zhuo Li said in a deep voice, skimming the tea foam with the lid of the cup, and suddenly there was only the sound of slight porcelain collision in the room.
Seeing that her husband's face was not good, Lin carefully sat down next to the chair and waited for him to have a seizure.
Zhuo Li took a sip of tea, put the teacup on the table, and then raised his eyelids and said: "Today, in the early morning, the Marquis of Changxing specially stopped me and talked to me. ”
Lin: "What did Master Hou tell you?" ”
Zhuo Li: "When it comes to the divorce, the child made his own opinion, and he and his wife don't know about it." ”
Lin's eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice and asked, "So, this marriage is not going to be withdrawn?" ”
Zhuo Li was angry when he saw her reaction, and tapped his fingers on the table to remind her: "Changxinghou gave a step down because of the old lady's face, are you embarrassed to be cheeky and force your daughter over?" ”
Lin was stunned: "What does the master mean by this?" ”
Zhuo Li: "Look at Geng Kan, this kid, he is young, he has earned military merits, his thousands of households, but he fights with real swords and guns on the battlefield, and he is not much better than those children of the prince's mansion who are graced." The emperor values him and appoints him as the commander of the right guard of the horseman, this child will definitely have a bright future in the future, and it is also possible to pay homage to the marquis. Such a good boy naturally wants to marry a virtuous lady who is helpful to his future. ”
said and sighed: "But Nian Nian, my body is sick and crooked all year round, and the decoction has never been broken." When the Geng family was thriving, didn't she get married to add to people's blockage? ”
Lin looked incredulous.
"Sir, how can you say that about your daughter? Nian misses the weakness of my body, that is because when I was pregnant with her, I served my mother-in-law day and night, and I was sick. Moreover, she is weak, if she retires from the Geng family, where will she find a suitable person in the future? ”
"Being weak is one thing, and the most important thing is that the personality is not pleasant, jealous and loves to mess around, and if you are not satisfied, you will seek death and life, how can you afford to support the appearance of a housewife? Geng Kan, this child is really good, humble and polite, and has a degree of advance and retreat, if he doesn't really like to miss the temperament, can he propose to withdraw from the marriage under such great pressure? ”
What a humble and courteous one, with a degree of advance and retreat!
Lin Shi was so angry that his body trembled: "Nian Nian can't support the housewife, who can't support it?" Can the four girls afford it? Don't forget, master, she is a concubine, even if the Geng family retreats, it will not be Zhuo Ruozhen's turn. ”
Zhuo Li frowned impatiently: "What does this have to do with Sister Li'er?" ”
Lin: "The year before last, Geng Kan went to the old house in Pujiang, and how the four girls were talking about it, but they quarreled with him. He is the future fifth aunt of our Zhuo family, is it appropriate to always have the name of the fourth girl on his lips? ”
Zhuo Li: "You still take what the child says seriously!" ”
Lin: "I know, Niannian has always lived with me in my hometown, unlike other children who grew up next to you, so you don't have deep feelings for Niannian. But she is serving her grandmother in her hometown, and she has been filial piety for her grandmother for three years, sir, you can't be so partial! ”
Lin cried as he spoke, feeling aggrieved.
When the new dynasty was about to be established, the three men of the Zhuo family were forcibly recruited into Jiqing, and the Lin family, as the bride who had just passed the door, had to support the family affairs alone.
Later, the old lady gained a firm foothold in the court, and the whole family moved to Nanjing. Female, stayed in Pujiang to take care of her seriously ill mother-in-law.
After the death of his mother, Zhuo Li only kept filial piety for one year, and was recalled to Nanjing to take over the reconstruction of Guozijian, and the Lin family stayed behind to keep filial piety on behalf of the whole family.
She did pay a lot for the Zhuo family, but she didn't do well in terms of her daughter's upbringing.
Zhuo Li didn't like her temperament of crying at every turn, he was bored with it, he didn't want to say more, and said with a dark face: "This marriage is withdrawn, you should take a good look at her, I don't know who to learn from this set of seeking death and life, it's embarrassing." ”
