Chapter 43: Mother is too pedantic
"Not exactly." Ding's mother glanced at Zhong Lingyu, "The most important thing is to worry about Miss's body." After all, the young lady went up the mountain before she got well, and the conditions on the mountain were not good, and she had to endure hardships. ”
Zhong Lingyu was silent. Ding's mother said it mildly, Zhuang is not worried about her body, but about her appearance, right? If she is disfigured and withdrawn, her future family affairs will be difficult.
She sighed. If it weren't for Zhuang's character and easy to be coaxed, she wouldn't hide everything from her mother.
After passing the rockery, Zhong Lingyu saw a figure in a moonlight dress standing on the steps looking towards this side, and she couldn't help but speed up the pace of her feet.
went up the steps, and before she could speak, Zhuang Shi held her hand: "You're back?" ”
"Mother, how long have you been standing here?" Feeling that Zhuang's hands were cold, and seeing that her face was pale, she was indeed thinner than when she left, Zhong Lingyu couldn't help but blame, "It's cold outside, why aren't you waiting in the house?" ”
"It didn't take long, out of the way." Zhuang answered, and reached out to lift Zhong Lingyu's hat.
Zhong Lingyu grabbed her hand and whispered, "Mother, let's talk about it when you enter the house." ”
"Yes, yes, it's my mother who is confused." Zhuang also thought that there were many people in this place, and her daughter didn't want people to see her appearance, so she pulled her into the house and dismissed the maid, so she said: "Come, take off the hat and let the mother see it." ”
Zhong Lingyu sighed and took off the hat.
Before coming back, she hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether she should make her appearance better. She couldn't bear to let her mother worry about her anymore. But if the family affair is not successful for a day, her face will not be good for a day. Now I have to put on a face full of black spots, so that my mother will worry for a while.
Sure enough, as soon as he saw Zhong Lingyu's face that hadn't changed much before he followed the mountain, Zhuang covered his mouth, and tears flowed down his eyes.
"How's that going to happen? Mrs. Ye is not a thing, seeing that you are disfigured, she will send someone to withdraw from her relatives......" Zhuang was so choked that he couldn't continue.
"The one who serves in Israel is fading and leaving." When it came to the Ye family, Zhong Lingyu's eyes were a little cold, mother, you should be glad that I didn't marry into the Ye family. If I marry into the Ye family and suffer this kind of accident again, shouldn't the Ye family directly divorce me? That's when it was called miserable. It's okay now. At the very least, those who marry again will either take a fancy to my ability or our family background, and will no longer abandon me because of the change in appearance. ”
Zhong Lingyu thought that Zhuang would have to spend a lot of words here to persuade her tears to stop, but she didn't want her to say this, Zhuang magically held back her tears, nodded in agreement: "You're right, Young Master of the Ye family, you don't deserve you at all." It's a good thing that this family has retired. ”
Zhong Lingyu raised her eyebrows and looked at Ding's mother in surprise.
Ding's mother didn't dare to take credit, and hurriedly explained: "During this time, Mrs. Lu in the young lady's house often came to chat with Mrs., and Mrs. slowly figured things out. ”
Zhong Lingyu realized this.
She asked Zhuang's: "Have you retired from the family?" On the mountain, she had been thinking about it. It's just that I'm too busy, and I really don't have the time or energy to send someone to ask. Seeing that she was busy, Granny Lu was afraid of disturbing her, so she didn't go up the mountain to report the progress of the matter.
"Nope." Zhuang looked at his daughter worriedly, "I dragged it and didn't retreat." ”
"Why?" Zhong Lingyu was surprised.
Zhuang was about to speak, when suddenly a little maid greeted outside: "Mother Lu, are you here?" The young lady has returned, and she has just entered the door. Immediately after, Granny Lu came in.
Grandma Lu is a subordinate person, and she has been coming and going a lot recently, but the Zhuang family didn't care, and wept at Zhong Lingyu: "Your face ...... I'm afraid that after you quit your family, you won't be able to find a good family again. So I want to ask you in person, if you are really willing to quit your family. ”
"Of course you have to retreat!" Zhong Lingyu said, the corners of her mouth hooked mockingly, "Does my mother think that if I marry into the Ye family like this, my life will be better?" ”
Ye nodded, and said: "Moreover, I think I still have to tell your grandmother about the retreat, after all, she is the elder of this family." If we make decisions without her consent, others will disrespect us to the elderly. ”
Zhong Lingyu glanced at Mama Zhang and them.
Zhuang was educated by her talented father since she was a child, and she was a little pedantic, and the most virtuous was three and four virtues. Old Mrs. Zhong used to speak, you don't have to go to ask for peace every day, you only need to go to the first and fifteenth days of the new year a month, plus Mrs. Zhong is not her mother-in-law, if she changes someone else, she will definitely be happy to hide and be idle. But the Zhuang family is not like this, as long as there is no major event, she will definitely go to ask for peace every day.
After going to ask for peace and encountering such a major event, Zhuang respected the old man very much, and she did not tell Mrs. Zhong about it. So before going up the mountain, Zhong Lingyu repeatedly told Mama Zhang and Ding's mother to persuade the Zhuang family that her marriage was "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker". Old Madam Zhong only needs to say it afterwards, and there is no need to ask her for permission in advance.
You don't have to think about it to know that if Old Madam Zhong learned that the Ye family was going to withdraw from her family, for the sake of her own granddaughter's reputation, she would not agree. As for Zhong Lingyu's happiness, she can't care about it. Although she did not treat the Zhuang family and Zhong Lingyu sisters and brothers harshly, she was also afraid of Mrs. Zhong and Zhong Deping. It is absolutely impossible to want her to love Zhong Lingyu as her own granddaughter and think about her long-term happiness in the future.
