Chapter 299: Wooing
When I went to visit him during the New Year's Festival, I still looked like I was ignoring it, what kind of play is it now?
Ah Xiu naturally didn't go, but handed an invitation to the He family.
The He family's shy invitation was nothing more than an opportunity to repair the relationship.
The orphan girl of the Zhuo family took back the embroidery workshop on the Linjiang side, although she was related, but the He family must hate her in their hearts.
During the New Year's Festival, she took the initiative to come to the door to visit, thinking that she would take this opportunity to give her a dismount, but how could she have expected that people would marry the champion when they turned their heads, and they were also given marriage by holy decree.
In this way, the He family had to find a way to let go of their grievances and take the initiative to repair the relationship.
Because there is no one in the Zhuo family, Ah Xiuben is also the adopted daughter-in-law of the Song family, and the marriage is free of a lot of red tape.
As for the banquet, they have no relatives in Beijing, they are nothing more than the people from the embroidery building and Linjiang, and then the colleagues around Song Tian, if they have a good relationship, please come over and have a good relationship.
There are not many people like this, and it will be enough to set up a few tables in the courtyard, but who would have thought that when the auspicious day is approaching, the Linjiang group has just arrived on the front foot, and the He family on the back foot will come, and it is still the Mao family who comes.
This is Ah Xiu's own aunt, how dare Chang be slow, and quickly invite people into the house.
When Ah Xiu heard the news in the courtyard, this person had already come in, she changed her clothes and took Du's mother to go, and before she entered the door, she saw the maid guarding the door with an ugly face. Xiao Yu'er was not by Chang's side, and was watched by the maid and the nurse playing in the courtyard.
What's going on?
Ah Xiu entered the door, and the three people in the hall looked at her.
Chang wanted to say something, but when he saw Ah Xiu shaking his head slightly, he swallowed the words that he was about to say.
At this time, Mao put down the teacup and smiled enthusiastically: "Yao Yao, come here, I have something to ask you." ”
Ah Xiu bowed and met her cousin Xue Chan, who was wearing a fuchsia dress.
"Auntie."
She passed very obediently and sat on the Taishi chair beside Mao.
Mao patted her hand lovingly, "I am very happy to hear that you are going to get married, but the preparation before and after this marriage is insufficient, will it be too hasty to get it so casually?" ”
Ah Xiu was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "How about arranging my aunt's intentions?" ”
Mao sighed, "Things are arranged too urgently, and it's too late to go back to Linjiang to make arrangements." Fortunately, your eldest cousin is also in Beijing, so it is better for you to go back to Hefu over there to get married, and then welcome your relatives from there, it is better than going out of the left door and entering the right door here, causing gossip for no reason. ”
Mao's words are really unpleasant, and he said that the Song family was perfunctory in marriage, and he mentioned that A Xiu, a girl who has no mother's family, eats and lives in her husband's house before her relatives are married, and her reputation is not good.
Chang couldn't help but speak, "Mrs. Mao, this is not what you think. For so many years, we have treated Ah Xiu as a family, everything is simple, that is, I don't have to toss too much, and there are no relatives in Beijing, if it is in the town, it will definitely have to be a big deal.
As for the matter of welcoming relatives, Ah Xiu is the adoptive daughter-in-law of my Song family, which is just a formality. ”
If his son hadn't joined the Shichang family, he might have agreed to Ah Xiu's marriage from the He family, but now that his son has entered the court as an official, her husband said that he can't just go to relatives and colleagues, so as not to cause any trouble.
"She may have been your family's adoptive daughter-in-law when she was in trouble, but now that even the family business has been revitalized, it would be too much to look down on people if she said such a thing as an adoptive daughter-in-law."
Mao's face was not good, "Mrs. Song, I'm afraid you haven't figured out the situation." Look at your big family business, look at this big mansion in Beijing, without Ah Xiu, where your family would be, don't you know. ”
Thinking about it, it was like this just now, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing.
Chang's Dou Mao is obviously unbeatable.
Now these few words, she has been blocked.
Ah Xiu smiled faintly and said to Mao: "Auntie, I know that you are good to me, but these things are not needed." ”
"What? You are married to a champion Lang, and when you are so casual, you are not afraid of others saying it behind your back. ”
"Say?" Ah Xiu raised her eyebrows, "If it's a big fanfare, it will be said." Although Brother Tian won the champion, he is now a compilation from the six grades, and the court has rules for the official system, and his current official value can't do those fanfare things. Auntie, you can't be unaware of these things. ”
Mao must know that this person doesn't really want to be lively, it is nothing more than to achieve the purpose of marrying from which family he is from, and force Brother Tian to stand in line.
Sure enough, as soon as Mao heard this, he said: "What you said is also so reasonable, it is okay to be simple, but it is not good for you to marry and welcome your relatives from one door." Listen to my aunt, go to He Mansion to stay for one night, and when you marry into this Song family, you can't make a mistake. ”
"Auntie, I've already thought about this, so don't persuade me anymore."
Ah Xiu's attitude was suddenly tough, Mao was stunned, and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm doing this for your good." ”
It's really high-sounding, and there are too many words to say, and there are no knocks.
Ah Xiu took a sip of the tea at hand, "Auntie, don't you know why I left home in the first place?" ”
The sixteen-year-old girl's eyes were frighteningly bright, and she shot straight at Mao's panic.
"Alas, you kid is just too serious, what is such a big child wandering around, and people have been worried for several years for no reason."
Mao pressed his eyes with a handkerchief, looking very sincere.
Ah Xiu sneered, "If you don't know, you can't do it unless you do." Auntie, I really want to ask you, how did my mother die in the first place? ”
She suddenly mentioned the old man, Mao's heart trembled, and she almost knocked over the tea cup in her hand.
"Yao Yao, what do you mean by that?"
Mao was shocked, and the other two people in the hall also looked at them with shocked eyes.
Chang is thinking, is there any hidden reason for the death of Ah Xiu's mother?
Thinking of this possibility, she was in a hurry, and she looked at this brightly dressed noble lady with anger.
And Xue Chan, the new daughter-in-law of the He family, is at a loss and wants to listen to gossip, she has just married into the He family for a few months, so she naturally doesn't know the twists and turns inside, but she is such a daughter-in-law in the second room, of course, the more you know, the better.
Mao felt enraged, but his heart was trembling with panic.
...... year
How old was she back then, how could she possibly know those things?
Can't, can't be, must it be a guess, or someone else told her?
Before Mao could figure it out, he heard Ah Xiu say: "Auntie, I just mean it literally, why are you so excited?" Whether my mother became depressed or how she died, I still don't know much, after all, you also know that I was so young back then, and I didn't understand many things. ”
