Chapter Seventy-Four: Clever Tongue Like a Spring, Granny Lu
When Zhong Lingyu heard the news, he knew that the person arranged by the shopkeeper had arrived. When they arrived at Qiuyiju, they saw the two women, and they made a noise for a while, and asked Mama Shang to arrange a place for them to live, so that Grandma Lu and Mother Ding would accompany them to dinner, and the two brothers Zhong Lingming walked in together.
"Why did you come back?" Zhuang asked with a smile, and then turned his head and instructed the maid to set the meal.
"There's nothing going on the hill today, so I came back early and went to the teahouse. Madame sent for us, and we came back together. Zhong Lingzhi replied.
Zhong Lingming nodded and asked Zhong Lingyu: "Sister, what does the Sun family say?" β
"Uncle, grandfather and grandmother told us to go to Fucheng." Zhong Lingyu said.
Speaking of this, the Zhuang family was very embarrassed: "But you are still in the filial piety, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go to your uncle's grandfather's house?" β
Zhong Ling looked at his mother and sister, and asked puzzledly: "Then why did my uncle and grandfather send someone to pick him up at this time?" β
Zhuang also looked at Zhong Lingyu in puzzlement.
"How do I know that I'm not a prophet?" Zhong Lingyu said with a smile. Those four people were just hired by her, just so that she could find an excuse to go to Fuling Mansion; At the same time, it also deterred the small people, so that they did not dare to do anything wrong to the Zhong family's big house during her departure.
Zhong Lingming thought about it, and couldn't help blushing, touched his nose and stopped talking.
Zhuang Shi hurriedly asked his daughter for advice: "Then are we really going to go?" β
Zhong Lingyu blinked, and did not answer Zhuang's question immediately.
Granny Lu, who was standing behind Zhuang's family, hurriedly said, "Madam, the old slave has a suggestion. β
Now the Zhuang family is simply obedient to Grandma Lu. Hearing this, he hurriedly asked, "If you have any suggestions, say them quickly." β
"If Mrs., Miss, and Young Master go out of the mansion and the whole family goes to Fucheng, I'm afraid it will attract gossip, after all, Mrs. is a new widow, and Miss and Young Master are still filial piety. And there have been a lot of things going on this time, if the masters are not at home, and someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, I am afraid that the house will be a mess. Not to mention anything else, the tea garden, as well as the master of roasting tea, will be calculated. β
The hearts of the two brothers, Zhuang and Zhong Lingming, sank.
Indeed, as Granny Lu said, maybe what happened after they left was more serious than imagined.
"That's still not going, not going." Zhuang hurriedly waved his hand. She was really scared, afraid that if she went to Fucheng, this home would no longer exist when she came back. Then she is really dead, and she can't get rid of it, and she has no face to go underground to see her husband.
Granny Lu continued: "But if you don't go, I'm afraid the old lady will be unhappy." After the master went, the wife also knew about the situation in the house, and it could be said that it was difficult to walk, and people were stumbling everywhere. If it weren't for the young master of the Sun family to come to condole, and the words of Mama Wu when she left, it is estimated that there would be ...... over there."
She stretched out two fingers and gestured: "The means are not so gentle, it is possible to let people kidnap the girl halfway up the mountain, or poison the second and third young masters, or set a fire in the courtyard of the master Guan Fried Tea." No matter how resourceful Miss Ren is, it is difficult to resist such a catastrophe. β
Zhuang's eyes were full of horror when he was depicted by Granny Lu, that is, Zhong Lingming's two brothers were pale.
"Soβwhat should I do?" Zhuang's words were not good, "Or, or let's go." In the latter sentence, she said it to Zhong Lingyu.
Zhong Lingming's two brothers also looked at Zhong Lingyu.
Seeing this, Granny Lu was very comforted. It was not in vain that her young lady worked hard during this time, and now the family regards her as the backbone.
However, Zhong Lingyu's matter of going to Fuling Mansion alone is naturally not good for her to bring it up by herself. Granny Lu hurriedly said: "The old slave has a suggestion. β
"Oh?" Zhuang's eyes lit up, and he turned to Granny Lu and said, "You say." β
"This goes to the city, it is not reasonable to count; If you don't go, you won't give face to your uncle and old lady. It's better to let Miss go on behalf of the Zhong family, when Mama Wu left, Miss promised to go to her uncle and old lady to ask for peace; The young lady responds decently and has a smart mind, and she will definitely be able to befriend the Sun family, win the love of the old lady and the old lady, and let the big house be sheltered. β
Having said this, Zhuang's and Zhong Lingming and others all nodded frequently, feeling that Grandma Lu's suggestion was very reasonable.
Needless to say, Zhuang herself knew that she had no idea; Zhong Lingming's two brothers are still young, and they used to only bury their heads in studying, and they were not good enough to practice people. If you send any of the three of them to Fucheng, not to mention befriending the Sun family, thank God if you can not offend.
In this family, Zhong Lingyu is qualified for this errand.
But Granny Lu hasn't finished her words yet.
She glanced at Zhong Lingyu and continued: "There are too many people in the city who are begging for relatives now, and they are not easy to mess with. If you agree to one, you will offend several other families, and some families will not be able to ask for it, and they will hate us, and when the time comes, we will have a lot of trouble. Now that the young lady has gone to Fucheng, the uncle and the old lady are the big officials of Fucheng, and when the time comes, the wife only needs to say to the matchmaker or those ladies at home that when the old man died, he repeatedly explained that once he was not in harmony with the Ye family's relatives, the young lady's family affairs needed her own nod, and others could not force her; It was revealed that the old lady sent someone to pick up the young lady to go to Fucheng. It is not easy for those who ask for relatives to force it, so that the matter can be perfunctory. When the young lady came back from Fucheng, with the support of the Sun family, the unsuccessful people would not dare to act rashly anymore. At that time, there will be no trouble in discussing family affairs. β
She smiled and said to the Zhuang family: "Madam, it's not an old slave to brag, our young lady is rare in the world in terms of appearance and talent, and there is a rich dowry, even if it is not impossible to marry a prince and nobleman." Maybe this time she went to Fucheng, and the old lady could pick a better family affair for her. These families in the county who come to ask for relatives, although their families are all of the best and the young masters in the family are quite outstanding, but no matter which family they are, they all live together as a family. Asking to marry our young lady is not to fall in love with the young lady, but to seek the interests of the family. To put it bluntly, I fell in love with the secret recipe for fried tea in the young lady's hand. Such a person, to put it mildly, is mercenary. I got the secret recipe in Miss's hand, and I don't know how Miss will be in the future. Our young lady is a girl who has captivated the country and the city, why should she give up Dali and be angry with others? β
This is said to the Zhuang family's heart.
In the past few days, the number of people in the city has sent people to ask for marriage, although the Zhuang family is happy, but the heart is extremely uneasy. She herself was born in a small family, although her father was a showman, but he was poor, and the family had a simple population. Marrying into the Zhong family, she is already exhausted in the face of not complicated interpersonal relationships. Thinking about the situation of those people when the matchmaker introduced, she shuddered. Although Zhong Lingyu is smart, but a large family pays attention to women's lack of talent, it is better to marry someone with a simple population, even if the family background is not good, it doesn't matter, with Zhong Lingyu's marriage, life will definitely not be too bad.
But these families can't afford to offend their families. What's more, the second room is also afraid of these people to come to beg for mercy with them. If these people are rejected, Zhong Deqing doesn't know if he will take advantage of this matter and make trouble.
For this reason, Zhuang's sleep was difficult during this time.
Now that Zhong Lingyu can go out to avoid the limelight, and let the Sun family become their support, they don't have to be afraid of this or that in the future, this is really good.
This time, she didn't ask for other people's opinions, and directly shouted: "I agreed." β
