Chapter 719: You Say It
"Who said they wouldn't agree?"
With this voice, the heavy carved wooden door was pushed open, and the old lady walked in with her head held high, supported by her personal maid.
Behind her, there were Xiao Si and Xiao Wu with embarrassed faces.
They didn't stop the old lady, besides, why did they stop it, they couldn't stop it.
Seeing the old lady, Xiao Changdun snorted coldly: "Uninvited guest!" ”
The old lady smiled: "This is my home, I am not a guest in my own home." ”
After speaking, she sat down on the side of the kang, looked at Xiao Yi with her eyes, but said to Xiao Changdun: "In this Guogong Mansion, you are the head of the family, but I am the biological mother of several of them. When the grandfather and Mrs. Taiguo were alive, they once praised me as a good woman in front of Emperor Taizu, and Emperor Taizu gave me a super good makeup, and even the Empress Dowager did not say that I was not when she was alive. I don't understand how I have become a guest in this house today. ”
Xiao Yi hurriedly knelt down and said, "Mother is ashamed of her son, mother ......"
"It's none of your business, the man has gold under his knees, you get up for me." The old lady said.
Xiao Yi's face was full of shame and he hurriedly got up.
The old lady's reprimand continued: "You are the eldest son, the eldest brother of several of them. I don't ask you to be brothers, friends and brothers, but as an elder brother, the eldest brother is a father, you can't forget these four words. ”
"My son remembers and never forgets for a moment." Xiao Yi stood with his hands down.
"Well, you know it. You go to Mama Hui now, and ask her to hand over the pair of mutton fat jade bracelets that Mrs. Tai gave me, you take the pair of bracelets, and go to the scholar sent by King Qin, and say that this is our family's Wending, forget it, you give him the eight characters of Xiaoliu's birthday, and the soldiers are in chaos, so they simply change the Geng post together. The old lady said methodically, but she didn't even give Xiao Changdun a corner of her eyes.
When he heard that he was going to send it along with Xiao Liu's Geng post, Xiao Changdun finally couldn't bear it: "You are a little Liu to give people a burden, Baba's gift is set to change Geng post, do you still want a dowry?" ”
The custom of Daqi, before the son-in-law enters the door, the woman's family wants to give the man's family a dowry, and on the day of marriage, the woman's brother will come to greet the family, and the son-in-law will sit in a sedan chair with red silk and carry it to the woman.
The old lady still didn't look at Xiao Changdun, she said to Xiao Yi: "Xiaoliu's name is Chai Yun, and he is a member of my mother's old Chai family, and several younger brothers of my mother's family respect me as the eldest sister. Da Lang, you go and do it, and after you do it, send that Mr. Li out of the capital safely. ”
In other words, it is the Chai family who is talking about the family, and it has nothing to do with the Xiao family, Xiao Changdun is just the son-in-law of the Chai family, the old lady has a younger brother, and the Chai family has a man, so it is not the turn to be a son-in-law.
Xiao Changdun was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but fortunately, Xiao Yi was sensible, he looked at Xiao Changdun and asked respectfully, "Father, do you still have orders?" If not, I'm going to leave now. ”
"Why not, I don't agree with this family affair!" Xiao Changdun's voice was like a bell.
The old lady glanced at him and said to Xiao Yi: "Your father is sick, the trivial matter of sesame mung beans, don't bother him anymore, you are the son of the world, but also the son of the sect, you want to enter filial piety, you have to support this family." ”
Xiao Yi couldn't speak at all, and if he spoke again, he wouldn't be unfilial.
The old lady pressed down with a filial piety, and Xiao Yi felt a little sorry for the old father.
Alas, he is also in favor of this family business, so hurry up, this kind of place of right and wrong, he still doesn't want to stay for a long time.
Looking at Xiao Yi, who was faster than a rabbit, Xiao Changdun gritted his teeth.
He glared at the old lady angrily and said, "I did change Xiaoliu's surname, but he is still on the genealogy of the Xiao family, I am still his father, and I can still call the shots about his family affairs." ”
The old lady winked, and the maid who followed her in quietly retreated.
"But aren't you sick now? He not only has you as a father, but also me as a mother, he also has an eldest brother, an eldest sister-in-law, a second brother, a third brother, a fourth brother and a fifth brother. It's that my father is dead, and there are rules for marrying in filial piety, not to mention that in my opinion, your body is hard, and if you are sick like this, you can drag on for twenty or thirty years", the old lady said this, picked up the teacup by herself, took two sips, and continued, "Think about it, in another twenty or thirty years, we will all die, although there are still a few of them, but Xiaoliu, you don't want Xiaoliu to be alone." He can't even go back to the capital, he is alone outside, the glory of the family has nothing to do with him, even if he is at home, these can't be his turn, who made him a young son. ”
"Alas, if you think about it again, Xiao Liu has nothing, the title is not his share, and Yin Feng can't take his turn, even the family property he can only take a small head, he has nothing. No one respects him, no one takes him seriously, he has loved to be lively since he was a child, and at that time, he was alone, but what should he do. ”
"Now, it's hard for him to have a person who has a love affair with him, it's rare that she is a good girl again, she has nothing to say about her character and appearance, our Xiaoliu has nothing, no title, no official position, no fame, no money, and even the big mansion of the Guogong Mansion does not have his share, and what is even more rare is that the girl's family does not dislike him, you say, what are you not satisfied with, do you have it?"
After the old lady finished speaking in one breath, she was tired, she sighed and said: "Grandpa Guo, the two of us are young husband and wife, tell me yourself, did you meet me after you got married, or did you see me before you got married?" ”
Hearing her suddenly mention the events of her youth, Boss Xiao Changdun was uncomfortable. It's been decades, and she's talking about this.
However, he still said angrily: "Before getting married...... I've seen it. ”
"Well, my son and daughter-in-law are not here at this time, and even the servants have gone out, don't be embarrassed, tell me yourself, did you know me first, and then let Mrs. Tai ask a matchmaker to marry me?" The old lady said.
"Alas, the matter of Chen sesame and rotten millet is very important." Xiao Changdun was displeased.
The old lady didn't care whether he liked it or not, and then said: "Then don't mention us, let's just say that the boss and the eldest daughter-in-law, although they didn't have a relationship before they got married, they also heard of each other, right?" That's it, the two of us still let them see each other, and then talk about marriage, right? There is also the second and second daughter-in-law, which is the same as Xiaoqi, they are childhood sweethearts, they have been playing together since they were five or six years old, the younger brother of the third daughter-in-law and the third are taught by the same gentleman, and they have known each other since childhood, the fourth and fourth daughter-in-law, the fifth and the fifth daughter-in-law, either they also know each other, or they have seen each other, and they are willing, right? ”
"How can you be a father, his five brothers and a younger brother can also be, why can't you be a little six, didn't you say that you are still his father? Tell me, why can't Xiaoliu find a girl who is in love, you say, you tell me! ”
