Chapter 42: Selective
In the hall of the Hou Mansion, a plump woman was laughing: "This Mo Weiyu is really lifting a stone to shoot herself in the foot, she thinks that she can point the finger at us with a beautiful scenery at the banquet."
What do you say that you are dying in the Hou Mansion, but you have a different appearance in the Guogong Mansion? Okay, since that's the case, then naturally send the Buddha to the west and help her choose a good family business. β
The second lady of the Hou Mansion, Zhen, smiled playfully, and accentuated this good word.
A young girl was eating tea and drinking, and she squirted out when she heard the words.
"This self-righteous one, usually it looks like a straw bale, it's best to fool around, and now I think that hiding in the Anguo Mansion can fly out of the palm of our hands?"
The girl's smiling face bloomed like a flower swaying in spring.
"My daughter is the most beautiful, she is nothing, she just knows how to dress up."
Zhen looked at his daughter who was like a flower in front of him, his eyes full of smiles.
"Still." Mo Xinyao smiled shyly: "Her appearance is really better than before." It's really ruined my hard work. β
"What's so frustrating about that. When she marries into the husband's family we carefully selected for her, she Mo Weiyu will be happy. β
The idle footsteps outside the door suddenly paused, and a thin young man with dark eyes stood in front of the door. He seemed to hear a name.
Mo Weiyu? The thought of the name stabbed him in the heart. That woman, a cheap woman who has been away from home for many years.
"What are you so happy about?" The young man's voice snapped in.
Mrs. Zhen and Mo Xinyao immediately stopped the topic.
Mrs. Zhen looked at him with a smile: "It's nothing, you're here, sit down." β
Mo Yuan lifted his robe and sat down opposite Mo Xinyao: "I just heard you mention Mo Weiyu?" β
As soon as Mo Yuan's voice fell, Mo Xinyao's voice was sharp: "Brother, don't mention her, can't you still forget her now?" Don't forget that it was because of her that you were sent to Zhuangzi by your uncle. After so many years of not being able to go home, they just want to abolish you. And we don't dare to speak out in front of their family because of your affairs for so many years... β
The more Mo Xinyao spoke, the more angry she became, seeing that the young man in front of her was pale, Zhen slammed the table.
"Enough," a scolding came.
"What is it like, he is your brother after all, why is he so rude." Zhen had an angry look on his face. Of course, she also looked at Mo Yuan with a solemn expression, the young man who pursed his mouth and said nothing at the moment.
"You too, don't meddle in that cheap hoof's business, it's enough for us to clean her up. Don't get your hands dirty. β
Enough? The boy turned his back to the sun outside the door, and his face was very dark. In the past few years, my life in Zhuangzi has been really difficult.
I live a monotonous life all day long, except for strolling in the mountains and forests, I can't even see a street, and I don't even have a restaurant. There is only one untouchable... There are only pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, and only rice fields and wheat wavesγγγγγγ
Although her mother has not allowed herself to lack food and clothing for so many years, she secretly called someone to teach her son to study. But as he grew older, he wanted to return to the capital more and more.
When you return to the capital, you can eat, drink and have fun casually, go to the land of flowers and willows, and a group of people follow behind you... So majestic. How carefree.
But it all happened when I was ten years old.
That's when he made a mistake. was then sent to the countryside by Mo Shen mercilessly, and it was stipulated that the sisters in the family were not allowed to come back before they got married.
How hateful, he could have lived forever.
The young man retracted his memory, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he sneered: "Who cares about her." After saying that, he got up and saluted and took his leave. He knew that his mother and little sister still didn't trust him. And I still feel so stupid.
"Don't go anywhere, learn more and manage accounts, your father will hand over the Mo family's property to you soon." Zhen's voice came from behind him. But the young man did not pause and respond.
There was no longer any interest in chatting in the room.
"Mother, but is the family sure?"
"Hehe, don't worry, that family looks decent, the conditions are good, and they will definitely satisfy your aunt."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
In the Guogong Mansion, Pang called the mother-in-law next to him to find Yuan.
Yuan entered the hall and gave a salute.
"Madame,"
Looking at Yuan's solemn posture, Pang Zi smiled and gave up his seat. Yuan sat still, drinking tea with trepidation in his heart.
"The family affairs of the light rain have fallen. I have carefully selected the one I have chosen among those who come to the door to ask for marriage. β
Ponzi had a smile on his face.
"What family?" Yuan asked anxiously, the expression of joy and anticipation on his face was unobstructed.
"It is an official family who reads in the era. My grandfather was a sake priest. Of the three fathers and brothers, although only one of them served as the prefect of Yingzhou, and two of them ran the industry at home, the family was elegant and courteous, and it was very reliable. The grandchildren of the family are very promising, and two of them have won the Jinshi. After speaking, before Yuan Shi spoke, he came again: "I know you must not be at ease, you can inquire in person." β
Yuan's face was slightly embarrassed.
"Madame thinks it's good, that's good, how can I not believe Madame."
Yuan said this in her mouth, but she was still very worried in her heart, she was definitely going to visit. What's more, she doesn't know if Zhen is mixed in it. Although she can guarantee that she will be careful to prevent Zhen from doing things, she is still not at ease.
"You don't have to say that, I'm also a mother, I know your heart.
You can ask for yourself. In short, you are satisfied.
Although the official position of this wine lord is not high, the children of their family are very good, you will know when you see it. The children of their family are all friends with Xu'er. β
Yuan was very happy, she knew that people like them would definitely not be able to climb to a high level, and it was rare that the children were excellent.
That's a good thing to hear.
Yuan and Pang got up to say goodbye after a few words of greeting.
"This is the most suitable family business, and it is the Liu family in the south of the city.
Although the elders are not high-ranking officials, but the children are very motivated, we are looking for such a family, and such a family is attached to the existence of the Anguo Mansion. This can be regarded as a dependence. β
Yuan sat in Mo Weiyu's east wing, his gentle face and said something in a low voice.
"Is my mother really in such a hurry to marry me off?" Mo Weiyu asked lightly.
Yuan looked sad: "What can I do if I don't get married?" β
She smiled and said, "Since my mother thinks it's good, it's good, I'll take you out when I'm settled there." β
So happy, Yuan looked at her with a smile on her face and breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she feels less and less aware of her daughter, because she is becoming less and less attached to herself, and she is becoming less and less arrogant and childish, and even has such low requirements for marriage? She thought she was going to have to take a lot of time to speak.
It should be the reason for the current situation, she should also think about it.
That's good, as long as she can live a comfortable and ordinary life. Nothing more. It's as simple as that, in those days ago, I imagined preparing ten miles of red makeup for her, choosing the best family and the best man for her.
But now she just wants her to be safe.
That's how people are, and they don't know when they start to settle for the next best.
