Chapter 2 Forced to marry and meet people in the lake
At the door of the courtyard of the small tile house in Qinghua Town, Zhu looked out anxiously, this good life scattered the coffin to take a daughter-in-law who did not lose to Lan Guidan, how could this good end jump into the lake and get married!
"I said sister-in-law, I advised you not to spend money to marry a daughter-in-law, look at Yuan Zhen didn't come back for a night, it's really a shame that the daughter-in-law ran away, and the cave house spent candle nights to let people stay alone in the empty boudoir, and the neighbors and neighbors died of laughter!" The one who spoke was the Qian family from the same alley, and she was also the mother of the Zhao family's second room, and the younger sister of the Zhu family, "I don't know what daughter-in-law you chose, I ······said it a long time ago."
Then I saw a pretty girl come over, the silver plate face is not powdered, the lips are not dotted and red, the eyebrows are not painted but like distant mountains, holding a small bun and falling with silk flowers, calm and dignified, Zhu Shiwo cried: "Child, you are scared to death mother, where did you run, how did you dive into the water, how cool the water is, what are you angry about, you are angry at your mother's hair, it is okay to beat your man, how can you be a golden girl, how can you jump into the lake without saying a word." ”
Zhu recognized the person in front of him at a glance as Yang Baodai, crying with tears on his face, anxious and distressed in his eyes, he didn't ask the key at all, he felt that everything would be fine when his daughter-in-law came back, and pulled her towards the house: "Are you hungry, my mother made glutinous rice cakes, red bean porridge, and cold crucian carp, you do it first, and my mother will heat it for you." ”
Yang Baodai really didn't expect this mother-in-law to be so honest and enthusiastic, she took off the cloak given by Yuan Zhen, or the red brocade dress she married yesterday, and hurriedly grabbed Zhu's family: "Granny Zhao, Bao Dai is here to withdraw from her relatives today, and it is really helpless to jump into the lake yesterday······
"Ah, quit! Kid, you hate him for not going to meet him yesterday, right? You have wronged him, yesterday he went after watching Lan Guidan riding a donkey, ouch, Bao Dai, is it someone who said something indiscreet in your ears! Zhu sighed, pulling his daughter-in-law's tears and popping away, "Can the matchmaker give you the situation of the Zhao family?" ”
Yang Baodai helped Zhu sit down, gave her a glass of water, and played a few jars of belly manuscripts on the way to come, I really didn't expect Zhu to cry to her like a child, this Zhao Xiu was going to come back, and I didn't know how she bullied his mother to get out of marriage, so she immediately turned down and said softly: "Mother-in-law, don't cry, I already know the affairs of the Zhao family, Lan Guidan is the daughter of the county princess, if you really love your son——"
"Nonsense! My son doesn't wear broken shoes, it's her Qian who has to rob my son, child, my mother swears to you, our Yuan Zhen is an innocent person, how big is he to study hard every day, eighteen only won the show, Bao Dai, my mother really likes you, you see, this cloth and satin are many rich wives, this rouge gouache I also chose the best, I am afraid of treating you badly! ”
Zhu patted his thighs and pointed to a few pieces of silk on the eight-treasure shelf next to him, the color was atmospheric, Yang Baodai was a little unclear, so Zhu pulled her down and sat down with her: "Good boy, don't take anything you say outside, close the door, the three of us will live, Yuan Zhen will not bear you, he will never go to the second room to be a son, my mother will promise you!" ”
"Yuanzhen?" Yang Baodai completely grasped the point, froze for a moment, and stared at the Zhu family, who was still aggrieved and wiping away tears: "Yuan Zhen, your son's name is Zhao Yuanzhi!" ”
This time it was Zhu's turn to be stupid, for fear that his daughter-in-law would fall into the water and have a fever, so he touched her forehead: "Yes, your husband's name is Zhao Yuanzhi, didn't you write the eight-character sticker exchanged?" "You should know if you didn't ask! Zhu pointed to the cloak next to him: "This is Yuan Zhen's, didn't you come back with Yuan Zhen, what about others!" Oh, I used to see you send your brother to school and love to buy Liu Ji shortbread, he must have bought it for you. ”
No wonder Zhu didn't ask much just now, Yang Baodai was dumbfounded, and saw Zhao Yuanzhi walk in from outside, and smiled softly at Zhu's: "You go cook first, Baodai didn't eat anything yesterday and accidentally fell into the water." ”
"Okay, okay, mother, I'll go, I'll drink ginger soup and sleep in a while"
Seeing that the person was gone, Yang Baodai gave a smile in response, no matter how good her temper was, she was slightly angry at the moment, this person deceived her in the name of saving her, and asked her to dig out her heart and lungs to tell the marriage inside and out, and finally got on his thief ship and walked in by herself!
Zhao Yuanzhi laughed helplessly at that time, and stretched out his hand to look at the little wife who was about to escape from marriage: "I have protected my family, I never thought that you would hate me to the point that I don't want to remember my name, but yesterday I went to get married because my younger siblings hindered me, oh, I rode a donkey over and watched you jump into the lake, but I was scared." ”
Yang Baodai doesn't want to pay attention to her, she has a good temperament, even if she is angry, it is like nothing.
"Have a cup of tea to quench the fire." Zhao Yuanzhi poured tea for her: "At that time, I want to tell you that I am Zhao Xiucai, you have to kill me, my husband died early and my mother is easy to talk to, you begged for a divorce and left the book in a proper way, and it was not my mother who suffered." ”
Yang Baodai turned her head and smiled, the tea in her mouth almost laughed, Zhao Yuanzhi found a handkerchief from her sleeve and gave her a handkerchief, "What my mother said just now, if I tell you, you will not believe it, Bao Dai, you go back at this time, your mother-in-law will definitely pack you and send you in person, it is better for you to stay in my house first, I swear to you that my fame, it is definitely not a delaying tactic, I will definitely treat you with courtesy." ”
Wiping her mouth, Yang Baodai glanced at him: "What is it if it's not a delaying tactic?" ”
Zhao Yuanzhi was very serious: "Bao Dai, I feel sorry for you." ”
Yang Baodai was completely stunned and looked at him in a daze.
Zhao Yuanzhi took the shortbread he bought next to him and opened it: "Although your father loves you, he respects your mother in everything, even if you go back to find death and stay alive, won't you marry someone else later?" Although I Zhao Yuanzhi is a poor talent, I also have a reputation in my body, I have read the books of sages, I know the rules and things, and I will be able to treat you well for a lifetime, even if you don't want to, stay in the spring, how about we discuss and leave? ”
She has only one way to go home except to stay here, if she goes back now, maybe she will be waiting for her with a stick, if Zhao Yuanzhi has bad intentions towards her, there are more opportunities yesterday.
Seeing Zhu come in, Zhao Yuanzhi seemed to plead: "This is your business and mine, don't involve my mother to come in?" ”
Yang Baodai was also sensible, and nodded immediately.
Zhu watched his son pick up the cloak and go out to lead the donkey to her: "Where to go in a hurry, you can't have time to eat with your daughter-in-law, tomorrow I will make your broken donkey into a fire, there is still snow outside, and you are not as diligent as you are in the funeral!" Then his face turned, and he turned his head to look at Yang Baodai, who was amiable: "Child, come and let's eat, ignore your man." ”
Yang Baodai jumped into the lake and had to give the Yang family ward, Zhao Yuanzhi was helpless, led the donkey out, and suddenly heard someone behind him call him Yuanzhi, instinctively turned back, and looked at the person in the red silk suit who hurried over, and stuffed the bag of shortbread just now into his arms, "You also accompanied me for a day and a night without eating, take it and eat it on the road, and, don't spend money to buy this, I go to buy it every day with my brother, it is he who has taken a fancy to the puppy raised by others, and he has been buying it for more than half a year, and people have lent it to him to play." ”
Zhao Yuanzhi said: "Playing with dogs? If he likes to give birth in the future, I will help him find one and take it back to raise. ”
"My mother is afraid of dogs, and my father said that they can't be raised." Yang Baodai hid her face and smiled, her ginkgo eyes were blue like water, and she smiled lightly: "I'm tired of you going to my house for a run." ”
"I don't talk about that between you and me." Zhao Yuanzhi grabbed the small stove and walked two steps, remembered something and turned around and told her: 'If the second uncle's family lets you go, you directly refuse, the mother is stubborn, if you argue with her family, you will stop it. ’
Yang Baodai always had a smile on the corner of her mouth, and when she walked out of sight, she turned around and went back to the yard.
After eating, Yang Baodai slept comfortably, and listened to Zhu screaming in her ear in a daze, she opened her eyes and saw that it was dark outside, and she was embarrassed to get up: "It's me who slept in a daze, mother-in-law······ Mother is hungry, I'm going to cook for you. ”
There is a charcoal basin burning in the house, the bedding is brand new, and the cotton wool is freshly beaten, and there are two big soup women, who are not treated at home, and Yang Baomei and Yang Baoyuan, who are used for eating, drinking and dressing, are left.
Zhu touched her little face, made it to the edge of the bed and said: "According to the rules, the bride is also in front of her relatives on the first day of the door, the second uncle of Yuan Zhen has come to the girl to come and teach, we don't have to go for a while, then Lan Guidan is very covetous to your man, the clothes brought by your mother's family, I will give you the same stuffed cabinet, dress up well, we can't lose this battle!" ”
Yang Baodai felt that her mother-in-law's words were very funny, even if she visited her relatives, her relatives took the initiative to come over, how could it be like a New Year's greeting, and she had to come to see it in person.
Just for a moment, Yang Baodai wore a Shen cinnamon-colored narrow-sleeved long jacket, a pale yellow cotton gauze skirt, a small bun at random, and a silver hairpin to decorate, without luxury but dignified.
Zhu was satisfied, looked at his daughter-in-law for a long time, and happily wore a new emerald jacket, holding Yang Baodai out of the door, the second room of the Zhao family turned left opposite the mouth of the alley, and walked over without a cup of tea.
Three in and three out of the courtyard, there are two glass lanterns at the door, the front yard is paved with marble, three large vat is pressed against the feng shui corner, there are a few koi fish and water lilies inside, the main hall is the Taishi chair furniture made of golden silk nanmu, and a few servants stand quietly under the eaves, watching the two come, busy and making people wait to go in and wait.
It was dark early in winter, and there was still snow at the moment, Yang Baodai saw Zhu is Han nodding, shook her head helplessly, and called the old woman: "My mother is old, but she can't get drenched in snow again, if Yuan Zhen knows, I'm afraid that I think that our mother's ceremony has become a rule." ”
"Ignorant grandma, if you're really old and can't wake up, you can't go down!" A woman walked out of it, wearing a purple Hangzhou silk high-necked long jacket, a red pomegranate skirt, and a rabbit down long bibiscuit, holding the woman's hair bun, and a pair of peacock tassel hairpins on her head, which set off her whole person stunning and charming.
Thinking about it, this is Lan Guidan, the beloved daughter of the county princess, who can marry such a noble daughter-in-law, in addition to Zhao Yuanxiu, who died early, is a young man, but also depends on the second room master Zhao Wangde is in business and has made a lot of money.
Lan Guidan looks energetic, and with a charming breath of bones, with a big chest and a thin waist, a thin body, and very white skin, she is a complete beauty.
No wonder there is a lot of gossip outside.
"Mama is slacking, I will ask my sister for her guilt, my sister should not deal with my sister in the future because of this little thing." Lan Guidan smiled skillfully, and took the initiative to take Yang Baodai's hand and walked inside: "It's okay to wait for my sister." ”
Yang Baodai pulled out her hand: "Brother and sister, if my sister-in-law remembers correctly, Yuan Zhen is the eldest in the rankings, can't you mess up the generations just because my younger brothers and sisters are older than me, right?" ”
