Chapter 271: Mother-Child Dialogue
Chapter 271: Mother-Child Dialogue
Kou Baoyu was shocked, this child is almost eighteen years old, if it weren't for the filial piety, he would have wanted to engage him. Recently, when I went back to my parents' house, I was also discussing with my mother and sister-in-law to see which suitable girl in Beijing was better. Unexpectedly, the sister-in-law guessed accurately, but she didn't expect that there was really a girl in this place.
But in this small place, the biggest is the daughter of the prefect, I have seen it once, and the girl is very generous, but it is a little too dark. Also, a prefect is only a fourth-grade official, compared with his own family, it is not the right door!
Kou Baoyu didn't expect that if it was really the prefect's family, it might be a little closer to her Houmen, but she didn't expect that the daughter of a merchant who was not in the stream would be the one who was taken by her son. This is what makes him a little congested!
Murong Qing immediately said:
"Mother, I make my own decisions about this matter, I just want to tell you, I only marry the one I like, and I don't want anything else, even if I am alone in this life!"
This was a bit heavy, Kou Baoyu sat up straight and asked again:
"Who are you talking about?"
Murong Qing didn't speak, but asked:
"That's what Mother came here for?"
"Oh, no, it's because your aunt is coming over, oh, by the way, you must know about this, don't say you don't know, you're still hiding it from me, is your second cousin engaged to the eldest lady of the merchant last time? Or do you go and ask your aunt to come down the mountain to be the master? ”
Murong Qing said calmly:
"That's right, isn't the second cousin passed on to Tan Jushi now? Can't Tan Jushi call the shots for him? ”
Kou Baoyu lay back again, sighed and said:
"Alas, your little aunt is not happy, although it was passed on to your eldest uncle, second uncle and third uncle, but now there is not only one eldest aunt here, but she has entered the empty door. He entered into the empty door and took care of the things of the world. Besides, even if it's an adoptive, isn't it still your aunt's son? She doesn't care who cares? ”
"So, she wanted to come over and take a look, and she said that she didn't know what the merchant did to seduce your second cousin, but she didn't want to admit it. Even if a merchant girl wants to enter the door of the Kou family, she can only be a concubine. ”
Murong Qingteng stood up straight and said coldly:
"What's wrong with the merchant girl? Why are you a concubine, why do you still want a concubine? Isn't it enough to be harmed by concubines? ”
Because of family affairs, Murong Qing is now uncomfortable listening to the word concubine. Now listening to this meaning, the little aunt wants to meddle in the marriage of the second cousin and wants to turn the eldest lady of the merchant into a concubine? I'm afraid that even if Shang Nianlan wants to agree, Shang Ruonan will not agree.
"How can you say that about your little uncle, doesn't your little uncle also have two concubines? But what did your little aunt say? ”
Murong Qing's tone was a little cold and hard:
"So, you also agree with my little aunt?"
Kou Baoyu looked at his son with some incomprehension, nodded and said:
"That's right, the merchant is just a merchant family, he is considered a last-class person, how can he enter the Hou family, although your second cousin is not a son, but because he inherited the mantle of your uncles, he will still be a general in the future, right?"
"Mother, do you see it that way? Do you also think that the girl of the merchant can't get into the wealthy family? ”
Kou Baoyu nodded and said:
"In this world, there must still be some rules, this right thing has existed since ancient times. It should still be followed. The gap between the doors will be difficult to get along with in later life. Therefore, I think that this pro of your second cousin is afraid that he will have to retire. Because your little aunt will not respond. Your brother-in-law didn't say anything, but your sister-in-law is from the family of rites, how could she agree? ”
"Mother, I can't agree to this, the eldest lady of the merchant is really good, and the second cousin is still blessed to marry this girl. You've seen the eldest lady of the merchant, and she is also very beautiful. ”
"Pretty is beautiful, the only merchant lady I've seen is that the young master is a little worse looking. Last time I was in Beijing, I met the third lady of the merchant. At that time, I didn't know that your second cousin was engaged to the eldest lady of the merchant. ”
"Oh? How did you meet the third in their family? ”
"It was at a banquet that Miss Lei came with two little girls on horseback. One of them knelt down as she walked past me and thanked me for saving her mother. Saved her younger siblings. Later, when I asked, I found out that it was the third lady of the merchant who gave them medicine last time. It looks more heroic than the eldest lady, and it is much more eye-catching than the fourth lady. ”
"Later, I told your aunt and uncle about the merchant family. Seven and eight daughters. I don't know how to raise it. Mrs. Shang is really alive! ”
Speaking of having more children, Kou Baoyu sighed secretly. But Murong Qing sighed:
"Yes, Mrs. Shang will give birth, and besides, Mr. Shang is also a very good person. Mrs. Shang gave birth to so many daughters, and she had a lot of money, but she had no sons. And he didn't even bother to marry a concubine. also raised the fourth daughter as the young head of the family, and prepared to use the female heirloom! I admire him! ”
"What do you know, it's all helpless!"
Speaking of this, Kou Baoyu suddenly came back to his senses and said:
"No, you just said that you have a girl you like, and you haven't told your mother who it is, and your mother has to see who it is, so she can go to the door to propose. In a few months, your filial piety will be fulfilled. It's still okay to propose. When your filial piety period is over, you will be eighteen years old. Then you can get married. ”
It can be seen that his son really doesn't want to accept Zhou Yuling, so he still doesn't force it. Let's find a way to marry Zhou Yuling. Find her a good in-law, and in the future, she will wear ten miles of red makeup, as if she was married to a goddaughter.
Kou Baoyu thought so, but Murong Qing blushed a little all of a sudden, and he didn't know whether to say it or not. Although he is a waiting master, he is indeed a relatively tender young man. When it comes to this kind of thing, I'm a little embarrassed.
Kou Baoyu looked at his son, who had always treated people with a cold face, and today he saw a little human taste on his face. It seems that he really fell in love with a girl. It's just that I don't know what kind of girl it is.
Kou Baoyu didn't say anything more, just looked straight at his son. Murong Qing looked at his mother and said:
"I can't say right now, let's get through a while. I'll talk about it in a few days, but what I told you before, I mean it. Also, don't get involved in the matter of the little aunt coming, that's what the little aunt and the eldest aunt have to deal with. Besides, the girl from the merchant is really good, and the second cousin really likes people. You also saw that day, in our house, he accidentally bumped into someone else's girl. In fact, when the girl went up the mountain to worship the Buddha, he accidentally bumped into someone's house. That's what he's all about! ”
