Chapter 104: Double Happiness
Early the next morning, as soon as Li Ran rinsed her mouth, Mama Fu came in, took Li Ran's hand from the little girl's hand, carefully untied the muslin, and gossiped:
"I just went to the big kitchen, and I met the second grandmother in the big kitchen, look at the second grandmother like that, I definitely didn't rest well yesterday, so I asked.
The second grandmother said it, saying that the third lady had cried all night, and had already sent someone to ask the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse of the third lady, and she went to the big kitchen to watch and boil a bowl of pure heart soup for the third lady. ”
"Huh?" Li Ran looked at Mama Fu.
"Ugh." Mama Fu sighed lowly.
"I heard the second grandmother say that the old lady gave the third lady to the uncle of the Sun family in Uncle Zhongyong's mansion, and said that she was going to marry Re Xiaoli.
Yes, the old lady said, sooner or later, it's just ten days. It is said that the current situation of Zhongyong Bofu is not suitable for extravagance, and there is no shortage of etiquette to go.
This is the truth, and it is indeed not appropriate to be extravagant.
said that it was the old lady and said: It doesn't matter if the marriage is not beautiful, it will be long for a lifetime, and it is really good to live well in the future. ”
Mama Fu's words paused, and after a moment, she sighed.
"This is very true, I'm afraid that the third lady can't figure it out, and she's still young.
The second grandmother said that the dowry of the third lady was ready-made, and it was prepared last year. That is, those who have everything in everyone's hand, they have to be set to fight now.
said yes, after becoming a parent, the third lady will have to set off with the uncle of the Sun family to lead the envoy in the army, and this time, no matter how it goes, it will take three years and two years.
said that Mrs. said it, and everyone didn't do it first, and waited for them to return to the capital.
Also, even if it is done now, it is also idle, it is better to wait for it to be done later, there are old ladies and ladies here, when the time comes, there will only be more to give, and there will be no less. ”
"Let Sun Daqing go to the army to earn military merits?"
Li Ran's voice was low, as if she was asking Mama Fu, and as if she was talking to herself.
"That's how it was intended." Mama Fu glanced at Li Ran with a little appreciation.
This girl, at least this smartness, is worthy of General Xie.
"Ugh."
Li Ran thought about Li Qingrou's eagerness for Huo Wencan, as if Sun Daqing had the same eagerness for Li Qingrou. It's really a world changing, and in the blink of an eye, it's a different world.
"It's a good marriage."
Mama Fu looked at Li Ran, who was stunned, and continued to gossip.
"I heard that the Sun family wants to marry the third lady, but I haven't thought about it for a year or two.
Originally, it was a family affair that I wanted to achieve, and now this is the case in the Zhongyong Uncle's Mansion, the three ladies are married, and the Zhongyong Uncle's Mansion, from top to bottom, must be grateful, and the three ladies must be held in the palm of their hands.
The third lady has a delicate temperament, she really married someone else, her face is bright, and she doesn't know how to be wronged or suffered.
The second aunt and grandmother married into the Wang family, and it is good to say that it is good anywhere, but the second aunt and grandmother ......"
Mama Fu didn't continue, only sighed in a low voice.
"Hmm." Li Ran hummed in a low voice, looked at his already scabbed and dark hand, and changed the subject, "General Zhou is in the backyard, right?" ”
"The girl wants to find her?" Mama Fu also immediately changed the topic.
"If you don't look for her, you just ask." Li Ran paused, and the rest of the words did not come out.
Yesterday, when she asked Zhou E to go to General Xie, Zhou E's face was not very good.
She was just a little worried, worried that Zhou E would be sent to the point where she didn't know where to suffer.
Since Mama Fu asked herself if she wanted to look for her, then she was still in the backyard and hadn't gone far away, so it would be good.
……………………
In the wing room behind Jinghua Palace, Li Qingning arrived a lot later than usual.
Seeing Li Qingning lift the curtain and enter the house, Huo Wencan hurriedly got up to meet him.
"Why are you here, why are you so late? Something happened again? ”
When he got closer, seeing Li Qingning's innocent face, he hurriedly took another half step forward, looked at his face carefully, and frowned:
"What's wrong? What's going on again? You have a very bad face, and you went to Zhongyongbo's Mansion again? Something happened to Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion again......"
"It's not."
Li Qingning pushed Huo Wencan away, slumped his shoulders, and sat on the couch tired and weak.
"It's our family, my wife promised the third sister to Sun Daqing, and I'm going to get married in the next few days, the third sister cried all night, and I can't persuade it, alas."
"Alas! It's ......"
Huo Wencan stomped his feet with this sigh, which alarmed Cao Ming, who was concentrating on the other end of the room.
"What's wrong?" Cao Ming hurriedly put down the account book and came over to ask.
"His mother-in-law promised his third sister to Sun Daqing." Huo Wencan sighed continuously.
Cao Ming's expression was indifferent.
The third lady of the Li family and Sun Daqing are in this family affair, on the day of the accident in Daxiangguo Temple, when he and his wife were gossiping, the wife had already said it, saying that it was according to Mrs. Chen's temperament, but I was afraid that there would be this step, and now, sure enough.
"Daqing people are good, and it is also a happy event, this is a double happiness in your house......"
"What double happiness?"
When Li Qingning heard a sentence of double happiness in their house, his face turned white with fright, could it be that his wife gave him Miao Niang?
"It's your fourth sister,"
Cao Ming didn't know where Li Qingning was going, but Li Qingning's obviously frightened face, he could see it clearly, and hurriedly smiled:
"It's going to be given to General Xie, the will has been prepared, don't you know yet?"
"Huh?"
This time it was Huo Wencan, Li Qingning, who screamed this time, leaned back, and Cao Ming took two steps back in fright.
"Three sons!"
Cao Ming stopped, furrowed his eyebrows, and stared at Huo Wencan and snorted. In this voice of the third son, there is a strong sense of reproach.
He has already made a marriage, and when he heard the words of the fourth lady's marriage, it was too much to lose his temper like this!
"No, no, no! He's not ......"
Li Qingning stood up, looked at Huo Wencan, who had any expression on his face, which was indescribably complicated, and kept waving his hands, wanting to explain a few words for Huo Wencan.
But after a few nots, Li Qingning found that there was no way to explain this, no explanation!
"They ......"
Huo Wencan's face was blushing, and although he couldn't say the words in the back, Cao Ming understood it very well, and nodded:
"It's definitely wishful thinking. General Xie's temper, who doesn't know, this matter can only be a matter of course.
Your fourth sister is also hard-tempered. ”
Cao Ming looked at Li Qingning and added.
Huo Wencan stood in a daze, for a while, groaned, raised his hand to cover his face, took a few steps back, plunged into the corner of the kang, and grabbed a cushion and pressed it on his head.
"Third son, you're too much! You are like this, where do you put the six ladies? ”
Cao Ming's face turned red.
The sixth lady set by the third son, although it is said that it is Ah Pei's cousin, but Ah Pei treats this cousin as his own sister, and even with him, Cao Ming looks at the sixth lady and treats him as a sister.
Huo Wencan's appearance is like a mourning examine, if the sixth lady knows, how sad should she be?
It's so infuriating!
The more Cao Ming thought about it, the more angry she became, clenching her fists, and she was so angry that she wanted to go up and punch Huo Wencan a few times.
Ah Pei is right, Huo San's virtue is not worthy of the sixth lady!
"No, no, no! Not like that! No, no, no, no...... No! ”
Li Qingning couldn't care about Huo Wencan, who was stuck in the corner of the kang, and kept swinging at Cao Ming with both hands, stuttering anxiously.
"He's too much!"
Cao Ming turned around angrily, fished out the account book, and smashed it on Huo Wencan.
"It's not!"
Li Qingning stomped his feet anxiously, and in a hurry, he had a spiritual light.
"San Lang listens to me, he doesn't mean that, you tell the sixth lady, you take this, just him, tell the sixth lady, as soon as you say it, the sixth lady will know, the sixth lady will definitely ......"
Li Qingning raised his hand to cover his face and pointed at Huo Wencan. "It's a laugh, it's definitely a laugh...... Alas! ”
"Don't tell the sixth lady! No one is allowed to say it! Otherwise, you're welcome! Huo Wencan flipped up and punched Li Qingning from behind.
Cao Ming kept blinking.
Well, since you can talk to the sixth lady, you can say it, and the sixth lady will laugh?
Well, that's about something he doesn't know.
"That's good." Cao Ming's heart calmed down.
Li Qingning looked at Cao Ming and finally calmed down, sat on the edge of the kang with his ass, touched his heart, and only felt that Huo Wencan's punch, from behind all the way forward, had already beaten him through, and his heart was uncomfortable.
Li Qingning was distressed and sad, and tears fell.
"Fourth sister...... Three sisters, three sisters crying ......"
"What do you think I'm doing?"
Huo Wencan met Li Qingning's teary eyes, as if he was burned, and took two or three steps back in fright.
"Your third sister is set for Sun Daqing, it's none of my business...... No, what's my business? What do you think I'm doing? Don't look at me, look at Cao San! ”
"San Lang, your third sister's family affair is also ......"
Deng got the two words right, rolled around the tip of Cao Ming's tongue, and swallowed it back.
"Sun Dalang's affection for your third sister has not been a year or two, since childhood, we all know it, and he is very good to your third sister.
At this time, in the situation of Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion, your third sister will marry at this time. According to Da Lang's temperament, he must have held your third sister in the palm of his hand all his life, how good is this.
Didn't you keep saying that your third sister is delicate and can't stand being wronged? Isn't that just right? ”
"Yes, yes, yes! I agree with that, well said! Huo Wencan hurriedly applauded.
"Although Da Lang has no title, but he has your mansion and us, isn't it, none of us will stand idly, we must help if we can, push if we can, push if we can, right?"
Cao Ming looked at Huo Wencan, and Huo Wencan kept nodding.
"Yes, yes, that's for sure, we've been friends since childhood, and it's your brother-in-law, others don't dare to say it, at least I'm here, I must help as much as I can!"
"Me too, even if I don't have a title, I won't be far behind, don't worry." Cao Ming continued.
"Well, what the wife means, let the third sister and Daqing get married, go to the army and earn a military merit." Li Qingning was in a better mood.
"Da Lang can't read, he loves to dance with knives and sticks since he was a child, which is very good." Cao Ming answered.
Li Qingning nodded and sighed again.
If it hadn't been for the tragedy of Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion, if he had persuaded Uncle Sun a few more words, what if he had ......
The more Li Qingning thought about it, the more sad he became, his expression was gloomy, he raised his hand and pressed it on his face, and tears fell again.
"Those words, I should say them, I should tell Uncle Sun thoroughly, Uncle Sun is a rough person, if I said it to the end at that time......"
"I'm also to blame for this, I stopped you and talked about other people's housework or something, and I didn't let you talk about it."
Huo Wencan sat next to Li Qingning and pounded his head.
"At the end of the day, it's not necessarily useful.
I also know about Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion, I didn't say a word, the third brother of the Wang family also knew, he didn't say a word, and many people in the capital knew it. ”
Cao Ming's words paused and sighed.
"Not many people know, but people in the capital know and don't speak.
That day, I was annoyed with my wife, and I said that I shouldn't have hesitated in the first place, and I shouldn't have been too wise to protect myself.
The wife said that only Mrs. Sun herself knows what sins she suffered back then, how much hatred she had, whether there was affection and righteousness, whether there was time when she shared joys and sorrows, whether it was love or hatred, or love and hate.
Old Madam Sun's treatment of that man, whether she wants to break the corpse into pieces, or be generous and tolerant, or love and hate, only the Sun family knows best.
Uncle Sun is the person who should clearly understand his aunt's intentions.
The word filial piety, in the final analysis, is just a good idea.
Uncle Sun's filial piety, whether he doesn't know it or doesn't go along with it, it's his big mistake.
Such a family matter, except for Uncle Sun and the Sun family's own people, who can put a beak?
You must know that in this world, there are many good stories of reunion after breaking the mirror, and there are many good stories of family reunion after a lot of hardships.
Before the tragedy of Daxiangguo Temple came out, who dared to say that the matter of the Sun family was not a good story, but a tragedy?
If anyone is at fault, it is Uncle Sun and the rest of the Sun family.
When it came to the tragedy of Daxiangguo Temple, Mrs. Sun must have been unbearable.
Before that, how many times did Mrs. Sun and Uncle Sun talk about it? Uncle Sun must not have taken it to heart, and everyone in the Sun family must not have taken it to heart, which is why there is the misery of Daxiangguo Temple, and there are those words of Mrs. Sun.
This tragedy started from within, and the only thing to blame can be the Sun family themselves. ”
After Cao Ming finished speaking, he sighed.
Li Qingning and Huo Wencan stayed for a long time.
Huo Wencan raised his hand and patted Li Qingning, "Cao San is right, we can't say that there is no fault in this matter, but our mistake is not enough to make the Sun family give birth to such a tragedy, and the most wrong person has already cut himself." ”
"Hmm." Li Qingning snorted, and after a moment, he let out a long sigh and bowed at Cao Ming, "Thank you." ”
Saburo was polite.
By the way, in the morning, the third brother of the Wang family sent someone to say that he had taken leave, and he was going to accompany your second sister to your house today, thinking that he was here for your third sister.
You should hurry up, go back early, and go back to persuade your third sister. It's a good marriage. After all," Cao Ming laughed dryly, "the third prince has already made a marriage." ”
"Well, I'll go back when I'm done with those things." Li Qingning nodded in agreement.
"I'll help you, I'll help you sort it out first, and then I'll do those things for me, I'll be okay when I go back later."
Huo Wencan stood up, sat down on Li Qingning's side, and began to help him deal with desk business.
