Chapter 16 The Two Families Settle Together
After returning from Jiangnan, Aunt Jian learned that her youngest son Zheng Yu had won Fang Moyu's heart, and she couldn't wait to prepare gifts and go to the second room of the Fang family on the second day.
After seeing her sister, Aunt Jian put forward her request straight to the point, hoping that Jane could be a matchmaker and help the Zheng family propose to the Fang family's big house. Jane, of course, agrees that she is happy to see her nephew and niece become husband and wife.
After Aunt Jane went back, Jane went to the big room to talk to Liu. The Liu family also thinks that it is better to settle the matter of the two children as soon as possible, the Zheng family is different from the Guo family, there is a mother-in-law like Aunt Jane, she believes that her daughter will be happier if she marries into the Zheng family than if she marries into the Guo family.
The two elders of the Zheng family and the Fang family are interested, and the two juniors also have affection for each other, and it is imperative to marry. In order to show the importance of the other party's Moyu, General Zheng and Aunt Jian deliberately chose an auspicious day, wearing a new set of clothes, and brought Zheng Yu to the door to propose marriage.
Jane's acted as a matchmaker today, and Fang Moyu also had a task on her part, that is, to accompany Fang Moyu to speak. Both families are interested in getting married, and with Jane's, a matchmaker who can speak well, the marriage was quickly completed.
Zheng Yu sat in the hall, listening to the elders praising each other with a smile on his face, but he was in Cao Ying's heart, and he couldn't wait to rush to see his sweetheart immediately.
Seeing her son's absent-minded appearance, Aunt Jane said to her sister Jane, "Let her come out to meet her uncle, my lord hasn't seen her for a while." ”
Jane didn't know that her sister asked her daughter to come to see General Zheng as an excuse, so she hurriedly asked people to invite Fang Moyu, and when Fang Moyu came, she also pulled Fang Moyu over. Jane scolded her daughter for having no rules, but Aunt Jane said that everyone is a family, and the rules are all for outsiders to see, and there is no reason for her family to be wronged because of the rules.
Aunt Jane and her husband have no daughters, and they have always treated their niece as their own daughter. Fang Mojiao knew that Aunt Jian couldn't wait to drink her daughter-in-law's tea, and Cousin Yu wanted to be alone with her sweetheart, so she said, "The elders must have a lot of things to discuss, so we won't bother." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Zheng Yu, and Zheng Yu followed out under the gaze of his parents, aunt and future parents-in-law.
Jane was afraid that her sister-in-law Liu would have an opinion, so she smiled and said, "The children's relationship is quite good." ”
Liu smiled and nodded approvingly.
After the Guo family's divorce, the Liu family had already seen it, and she felt that compared with the rules, her daughter's lifelong happiness was the most important.
The future in-laws are right, the rules are all for outsiders to see, and there is no need to let your family members be wronged and constrained because of the rules. The Guo family has always prided itself on being a rule-oriented person, how many of those things they did were according to the rules?
Fang Moyu didn't know her mother's thoughts, and she was always a little worried when she got along with Zheng Yu. Seeing this, Zheng Yu thought she was uncomfortable, and only after asking a few words did she know what she was thinking.
"Don't be afraid, if you're afraid that your aunt will blame you, I'll explain to her in a while and let her scold me." Zheng Yu comforted softly.
Fang Moyu smiled, and her heart was as sweet as eating honey. Seeing that his sweetheart laughed, Zheng Yu also laughed stupidly.
Fang Mojiao looked at the tenderness and sweetness of the two from a distance, and couldn't help but feel a little more envious in her heart. The eldest sister has such a good belonging as Cousin Yu, so what about her, where does she belong?
In the Fang family's living room, Aunt Jian was still discussing the marriage date with the Liu family. Zheng Yu is twenty years old this year, he is considered an older man in Dasui, Fang Moyu is eighteen years old after the New Year, and Aunt Jian means to let the two children get married earlier.
Liu was still a little hesitant, and Jian persuaded on the side: "Sister-in-law, I know you are reluctant to speak, but children always have to marry when they are older." What's more, the Zheng family is also in the capital, not far from our house, my second sister is a kind person, even if she gets married, she can often go back to her parents' house! ”
Aunt Jane also echoed: "The third sister is right, it's not that I'm boasting, I have never liked to hold my daughter-in-law, our eldest daughter-in-law wants to go back to her parents' house, just tell me." Of course, when it comes to the second child, I still do the same, you can rest assured, mother-in-law. ”
Hearing this, Liu Shi did not immediately agree, but said: "I can't be the master of this matter alone, and I have to discuss it with my master." ”
"That's as it should be, it's as it should be." Although Aunt Jane was a little disappointed, she still respected Liu's opinion.
When Master Fang came back from duty, the Liu family told him about the wedding date proposed by the Liu family during the day. After hearing this, Master Fang pondered for a while, "It's too early to start spring next year, so it's better to set it after the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
"Then according to the master's wishes, I will invite my younger brothers and sisters to talk to Mrs. Zheng tomorrow." Yoo decided to listen to her husband.
On the second day, Liu told Jane about Master Fang's decision, and Jane immediately went to Zheng's house, and Aunt Jian learned that the wedding date would be postponed to after the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, although she was a little regretful, she was still happy to respond. Then the two families chose another date to finalize the specific wedding date.
Fang Moyu's matter is over, and the Fang family is left with only Fang Moyu as a girl to be married. Before Jane could find someone for her daughter, her eldest daughter-in-law Xie's stomach attacked. Xie hurt for a day and a night, and finally gave birth to the eldest grandson of the second room. At the same hour, in the Chengwang Mansion at the end of Changning Street, the former crown princess gave birth to the widow of Prince Duanhui.
The Fang family had not yet recovered from Tian Ding's joy, and when they learned that the eldest grandson and Prince Duanhui's widow were born at the same hour, they couldn't help but be silent. Fang Shilang avoided the typesetting of his grandchildren and named his eldest grandson Ning, hoping that he would have a peaceful life.
Due to the special time when Fang Ning was born, the Fang family did not plan to hold Fang Ning's baptismal ceremony, and only invited a few relatives in the capital. Unexpectedly, as soon as the baptism ceremony ended, a valuable gift was sent from the Chengwang Mansion, and the person who came was the father-in-law of Qin, who had served Prince Duanhui before.
With a gentle smile on his face, the other party said, "Before I came, the master of the concubine specially asked me to take a look at the little prince. ”
The concubine in his mouth is Princess Cheng, and after Princess Cheng gave birth to her son, the newborn child became the new King Cheng.
Fang Shilang couldn't refuse, so he had to let Jane take the eldest grandson out. After glancing at the child, Gonggong Qin praised: "The little prince is full of heaven and the earth pavilion is round, and he will definitely be a good person to worship the prince in the future." ”
Fang Shilang hurriedly said: "I don't deserve such praise from my father-in-law, I just hope that this child will have a peaceful and smooth life." ”
Gonggong Qin smiled, "Who can say what will happen in the future, Fang Shilang still don't make a decision too early." ”
After saying this, Gonggong Qin left the Fang family on the grounds that he had to go back to report to his master.
After Gonggong Qin left, Jane asked worriedly, "What does eunuch mean?" ”
Fang Shilang sighed, "Prince Duanhui has descendants, I'm afraid the situation in this court is going to change again, what I'm worried about is that the Fang family will be involved." ”
"How can this be, our family is just adding a grandchild, why do those people come here to make trouble?" Jane's heart was very uncomfortable.
Fang Shilang comforted his wife a few words, and then went to the big room to discuss countermeasures with Master Fang.
Fang Mojiao, a person from Chengwang's Mansion, also heard about it, and when she thought that her nephew and Prince Duanhui's widow were born at the same hour, she had a bad premonition in her heart. When she tried to recall the deeds of the king in her dream, she found that the memory in the dream had become very blurry, as if she had forgotten it.
She panicked, she had never thought she would lose them one day since she had those memories. When did this feeling begin? She thought about it carefully, and it seemed that after returning to Beijing, she rarely thought about what happened in her dreams, and when she suddenly remembered, she couldn't remember what would happen in the future.
Fang Mojiao suddenly thought of her grandmother, she ran to the Buddhist hall in a panic, "Grandmother, I had an incredible dream when I was seriously ill, obviously I still remember what happened in the dream when I was in Jiangnan, but now I can't remember anything." ”
Mrs. Fang looked at her and smiled, "Idiot, dreams are all illusory, what if you remember it?" ”
Fang Mojiao wanted to say something, but Mrs. Fang touched her head, "Child, I told you a long time ago, there are some things that you can't force to come, just follow your heart." ”
Her grandmother's enlightenment did not let her go, she returned to her residence lonely, and after a night, Fang Mojiao found that even the most vague memory of her had disappeared.
She has an impression of many things that have happened, but she doesn't know why she did them.
For example, she has never crossed paths with Jian Yan, so why did she send him silver and plead with her grandfather on his behalf?
For example, she didn't know Qi Yunzhi at all, why did she hate him so much when they first met, and even kicked him into the water when she was stepping into the autumn?
There are many other unsolved things, and Fang Mojiao can't think of the reason even if she wants to break her head.
