Chapter 2: Wife Becomes Concubine I'll Take You Away
Zhou Dalang and his mother fainted when they saw the water lotus, and cried even louder. "Lotus, Lotus, wake up! If you have a three-long and two-short aunt, you won't live. ”
The Shui family was stunned by what Zhou Dalang and his mother said just now. It wasn't until the matchmaker came in with someone carrying the dowry that the Shui family believed that what Zhou Dalang and his mother said was true.
Water Lotus's mother, Xu, pounced as soon as she saw her daughter faint. "Lotus, Lotus, wake up! Lotus, don't scare your mother! ”
Zhao looked at the old lady Jin, the grandmother of the water lotus.
Mrs. Jin stared at Zhou Dalang and his mother.
Jia Shi looked at the water lotus excitedly.
Shui Jinzhu clenched his fists tightly. "Mother, what now?"
Shui Daxi looked at the matchmaker. "Please go back. My sister is already married. ”
Shui Erxi silently walked to the wall and took two hoes.
The smile on the matchmaker's face didn't change at all. "Old lady, I'm a little thirsty after walking a little bit, can I ask you for a bowl of water?"
Mrs. Jin took her eyes back from Zhou Dalang and his mother. "Sit down." The Zhou family can't afford to mess with the Qi family, and their family can't even afford to mess with the Zhou family. Zhou Dalang is now a man. Their Shui family can only knock out teeth and swallow blood now.
Shui Jinzhu lowered his head helplessly. He can't ignore the lives of other children for the sake of one child.
Zhao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Mrs. Jin hurts Lianhua the most. It is often said that the lotus flower is most like her. The Zhao family was very afraid that Old Lady Jin would offend the Qi family for the sake of the lotus.
Jia Shi excitedly looked at the box brought by the Qi family. If you bring so many things to the door for the first time, you will definitely be able to fill his yard when you get married.
Shui Daxi: "Grandma, Lotus has already been married." ”
Shui Erxi: "Grandma, Lotus is a daughter-in-law." ”
"Shut up!" If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Dalang was a lotus, there would be no such catastrophe. "Daxi daughter-in-law, you go and carry your sister-in-law to the house with your mother-in-law. Erxi daughter-in-law, you send your Aunt Zhou home. Daxi, you go and get a doctor for your sister-in-law. Erxi, you go to the kitchen to boil the pot water. Boss, you come into the house with me to greet the guests. ”
Zhao hurriedly went over and helped the water lotus flower up from the ground. "Mother-in-law, it's cold on the ground, let's carry the lotus flower to the house first."
Xu quickly wiped away his tears. "Yes, carry it to the house, carry it to the house."
Jia Shi dragged Zhou Dalang and his mother from the ground. "Aunt Zhou, I'll send you home."
"Lotus She ......"
"My grandmother has asked my uncle to go to the doctor. We have a distinguished guest in our house now, and it is inconvenient to entertain you. ”
After speaking, Jia Shi pulled Zhou Dalang and his mother away.
Shui Daxi: "Grandma? ”
Mrs. Kim: "Shut up! Don't go yet! Erxi, you also go to boil water. ”
Shui Daxi and Shui Erxi don't want to leave yet.
Shui Jinzhu raised his foot and kicked his two sons twice. If the two of them were also admitted to the lifting of people like Zhou Dalang, then he wouldn't have to be so aggrieved today. "Go!"
Shui Daxi and Shui Erxi reluctantly left.
It's not yet time for spring ploughing, and there's nothing going on in the fields. Zhou Dalang's mother and the Qi family were so big that everyone in the village came over to see the excitement.
Mrs. Jin looked at them and said, "Let's all disperse." I won't greet you if I have something in my house today. ”
After watching the lively people disperse, Mrs. Jin took the water and gold pillar to the hall.
The matchmaker smiled and followed in.
After more than a quarter of an hour, the matchmaker left her things and left happily.
After she left, Mrs. Jin went to the house of the water lotus.
The water lotus has woken up. Lying in bed in a daze.
Xu was holding the water lotus's hand and crying.
Zhao was persuading Xu to stop crying.
Jia Shi was telling Water Lotus that so many fortune tellers said that if you can make the eldest son of the Qi family well, then the eldest son of the Qi family will definitely be good. If he is good, you will be the eldest and youngest grandmother of the eunuch family.
Mrs. Kim: "Let's all go out." ”
Xu: "Mother, please persuade Lotus, Lotus She has not spoken." ”
"Hmm." Old Lady Jin looked at Zhao and Jia. "Get your mother-in-law out."
After the two of them helped Xu away, Mrs. Jin sat down next to the water lotus and touched the water lotus's face. "The Qi family's grandmother has answered."
"Okay." Two tears flowed from the corners of the water lotus's eyes. "I'm blind."
"How old are you? Even grandma didn't expect Zhou Dalang and his father's heart to be so poisonous! Grandma is also to blame for this, if grandma had bitten to death, they shouldn't have done anything about grandma. ”
Water Lotus sat up and hugged Mrs. Jin. "Grandma, I don't blame you for this. Grandma, I'm fine, don't worry, I'll take care of myself. ”
Mrs. Jin gently patted her granddaughter's back. "Grandma told the matchmaker, you are not worthy of the eldest son of the Qi family. If the Qi family is willing, just accept you as a good concubine. ”
"Thank you, grandma." A good concubine is a concubine who was born a good citizen, wrote a concubine document, and cannot be sold casually.
Old Lady Jin sighed in her heart. One of her smartest grandsons was so cheated by the two of the Zhou family. "What do you ask to tell grandma, grandma will mention it to the Qi family."
"I want the Qi family to take me to Fucheng to buy a dowry. The things in Fucheng are better than those in the prefecture. ”
"Okay. When they came, grandma mentioned it to them. ”
"Okay."
"Then you can rest. Grandma is out. ”
"Okay."
After Mrs. Jin left, the water lotus took out a piece of Wang Pei from the box on the kang. The quality and carving of the jade pendant are particularly good. It's worth a lot of money at first glance. It is impossible for either the Shui family or the Zhou family to afford it.
On the other side, after Mrs. Jin came out of the house of the water lotus, she called Shui Jinzhu, Xu's, Shui Daxi, Zhao's, Shui Erxi, and Jia's to the hall. "Sit down."
After they were seated, Mrs. Jin repeated what she had just said to Lotus Shui. "I just told the matchmaker that Lotus is not worthy of the eldest son of the Qi family. If the Qi family is willing, just take Lotus as a good concubine. ”
Xu Shi was so shocked that he forgot to wipe his tears. "Mother?" Aren't you the most pained lotus?
Zhao was also stunned for a moment.
Jia stood up from the stool suddenly. "Grandma, are you ......" Are you old and confused?" Are you wrong? The Qi family is obviously talking about marrying a daughter-in-law, how did they become concubines? ”
Shui Daxi: "Grandma, is this the Qi family's idea?" ”
Shui Erxi: "Grandma, the Qi family is too bullying. ”
Shui Jinzhu didn't understand why his mother did this? But so many years of experience have taught him that his mother is smarter than him.
Old Lady Jin glared at Jia. "Sit down. So many of you are not as smart as my lotus alone. Who is the Qi family? Who is our family? The Qi family is now anxious to find someone to give the eldest prince of Qi a joy, if we let them offer the lotus flower as an ancestor, they will also agree. But what about after that? ”
Water Golden Pillar: "This ......"
Mrs. Kim looked at the others. "The Qi family has been looking for so long but hasn't found the right person. Why did Zhou Dalang close it as soon as he took the lotus flower's birthday? ”
Jia: "Because Lotus's life is good!" Didn't those fortune tellers say that? Lotus's life is particularly good. ”
"Idiot." Mrs. Kim is in a bad mood right now. "Forget it, I won't bother with you. I'll just say it. This kind of thing can't be seen or touched, and the fortune tellers that the Qi family is looking for are not immortals, how dare they conclude that the lotus flower can wash the eldest son of the Qi family well? They didn't find so many characters because they didn't dare to say that. ”
"The fortune tellers that the Qi family is looking for can be delayed, but the eldest son of the Qi family can't afford it. If the two members of the Zhou family went to the Qi family with the lotus birthday when the Qi family first started looking for someone, the Qi family designated that the fortune tellers would do a good calculation. The fortune teller definitely didn't dare to say that Lianhua could make the eldest son of the Qi family well. ”
"Now the Qi family is looking for someone to find someone in a hurry. The two members of the Zhou family took the Lotus's birthday and told the Qi family that the Lotus's birthday was particularly good. It didn't take long for Zhou Dalang and Lotus to be admitted to Xiucai, and now he has been admitted to Juren. You say, will the Qi family be tempted? ”
Shui Daxi: "Grandma, are you saying that this matter was colluded by the Zhou family and the Qi family?" ”
Old Lady Jin nodded. "Without the orders of the Qi family, those fortune tellers would definitely not dare to say that the lotus flower can make the eldest son of the Qi family well."
Shui Da happily slapped the table. "Damn! If the two old things of the Zhou family don't want Lotus to be their daughter-in-law, they just quit their relatives directly, why do they want to harm Lotus? ”
Shui Erxi: "They want to be bitches and set up an archway." ”
Old Lady Jin: "The Qi family is in a hurry now. Since those fortune tellers can't find the right person, it is better to try a person who everyone says has a good fate. Maybe it can really be done. ”
"If I let Lotus be the wife of the eldest prince of Qi. Then what should the Qi family do if the eldest prince of Qi is well, and the lotus family feels that the lotus is not worthy of the eldest prince of Qi? The eldest prince of Qi is a lotus flower, if the Qi family takes the lotus away, then others will definitely say that the Qi family is ungrateful. If the Qi family wants to change their daughter-in-law, then the lotus flower can only die of illness. ”
"Although the Qi family said that if the eldest prince of Qi died, the woman was allowed to remarry. Can you dare to marry in the name of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qi family? ”
"If Lotus is a concubine for the eldest prince of Qi, the eldest prince of Qi will be good, and the Qi family will not feel that the lotus is an eyesore. If the eldest prince of Qi died, the remarriage of that concubine would not affect the reputation of the Qi family. ”
Mrs. Kim got up from her stool. "Think about it. I went back to the house and rested. ”
In the middle of the night, the Shui family fell asleep.
A dark shadow touched the water lotus under the window and knocked lightly on the window. "Lotus, open the door, I'll take you away."
