Chapter Twenty-Seven: Misfortune
For a while, the people in Qingzhu Lane knew that the Yu family was about to marry the Wei family.
It's just that the Chen family hasn't waited for the matchmaker of the Wei family to officially come to the door with the gift of proposing, and first waited for Mrs. Tang.
As soon as she entered, she complained, "Didn't I say tell you to wait?" Why are you in such a hurry? Looking at the entire Lin'an City, who is comparable to the Li family and the second young master of the Li family. You can't be so shallow-eyed, there are a few people who are willing to be sons-in-law of the door. ”
This made Chen's heart feel stunned, and she was not polite when she spoke.
Chen drank the tea slowly and methodically, and said lightly: "It depends on who it is." Our girl, you have such a blessing. No matter how good the Li family is, you made us wait before, isn't it because the Li family is also considering letting their second young master be a son-in-law for our family? It's just that their Li family is not as sincere as the Wei family, and the Wei family has rushed in front of them. How can Mrs. Tang say that the Wei family is inferior to the Li family? ”
Mrs. Tang choked.
Chen continued: "Mrs. Tang must not know yet, right? Our two families are going to settle the marriage before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and when the time comes, we will invite Mrs. Tang to drink a glass of water and wine, and ask Mrs. Tang not to refuse. ”
Mrs. Tang walked away in disgrace.
Chen snorted at her back and instructed Mrs. Chen: "Throw me the teacup she drank." ”
Mrs. Chen smiled: "Why are you so angry. Even if it's an old teacup, it's worth a few coppers. It's better to stay at home and wait for a beggar to pass by our house to beg for water, and you can also hold a cup of tea. ”
Chen sneered and said, "If you give it to a beggar, you will bury others." ”
Mrs. Chen smiled.
Chen went to urge Yu Tang to embroider the vamp without saying.
Lin got Mrs. Tang's reply, her face turned blue with anger, and she wanted to shout that this matter would be forgotten, but thinking about her youngest son who was still making trouble at home, and her mother-in-law who called her over and scolded her, she couldn't speak well, and said: "This Yu family, too, too ignorant." ”
Mrs. Tang thought that this matter was over, and while breathing a sigh of relief, she couldn't help but feel a little bit of the same hatred with the Lin family, and said, "Isn't it? The Chen family is even more arrogant. Didn't you just give birth to a daughter? Relying on how much color you have, you look down on this one, and you can't look down on that one. Color decay and Aiways. She is not afraid that the son-in-law who will come to the door one day will not be disobedient......"
Who knew that the Lin family turned his face and said, "It's not a concubine?" What color decay is not color decay? ”
Mrs. Tang was bored, thinking that the wife and miss of the Pei family did not splash her face like this, she was also a little unhappy in her heart, and hastily said a few words with her and left.
On the Yu family's side, Yu Wen invited a few more people to inquire, and they all said that the Wei family has a good family style, several rooms help each other, and Wei Xiaoshan is even more loyal and filial, Yu Wen is relieved, and discussed the marriage of the two families with the Chen family: "Since the Wei family has raised our family like this, we must not let the Wei family lose face." There is no need for him to bring anything over, when we are married, we will take a hundred taels of silver, two pigs, ten jars of Jinhua wine, a load of tea, a load of rice, and the clothes of the four seasons You look at it. In short, you can't let others find fault with it. ”
Chen Shi was a little embarrassed and said, "A hundred taels of silver?" I also have to decorate the new house, and Ah Tang's jewelry also needs to add some ......"
It's still a bit difficult to take it out in one go.
Yu Wen said with a smile: "I have already told the shopkeeper Tong that he will lend me sixty taels of silver, six cents of interest, and pay it off in one year." You can rest assured. I know all these things, you just have to do it. ”
Chen said happily: "Shopkeeper Tong has been of great help this time. Does he have a little grandchild? If I have a little grandchild, I will make a few clothes for their little grandchild. ”
"Not yet!" Yu Wen said, "He's worried about this matter!" If you have time, you can talk to Mrs. Tong - didn't you often go to the temple before? Let's see if there is any miracle in the temple, and let Mrs. Tong also go to worship. ”
Chen hesitated: "If you want to talk about miracles, it should be Lingyin Temple." But the Lingyin Temple is a little far away......"
Yu Wen smiled: "What's that?" When our family Ah Tang becomes a parent, you just happen to be fine, go with Mrs. Tong. You can also ask for a sign for our family Ah Tang or something. ”
Chen Shi was suddenly full of interest, and talked to Yuwen about the food in Hangzhou, and said: "You will go when the time comes, and Ah Tang will also go, and our family will go to Hangzhou City to play." ”
Seeing that his wife was in such a good mood, Yu Wen nodded again and again, and really pondered about this matter in his heart.
I never thought that when the matchmaker of the Wei family should have come to the door, the matchmaker of the Wei family did not come.
Chen was secretly anxious in his heart, and wanted Ah Tao to inquire, but he was afraid that he would show traces, making people think that the Yu family was in a hurry to marry their daughter, and Yu Yutang's reputation was not good, so he could only go around at home, but he couldn't let others know.
Yu Wen, who was waiting at home, was a little angry, feeling that the Wei family was not keeping his promises, and he had a problem with the matter of marrying the Wei family, and he was afraid that the Chen family would be sick urgently, so he had to hold his breath and comfort the Chen family: "People said they would come today, and they didn't say whether it was morning or afternoon, the Wei family was four or five miles away from us, if something was delayed, it would be noon when we arrived at our house, could it be that others still came to our house for a meal?" In the countryside, rice is expensive, and it is easy not to eat at other people's houses. ”
Chen smiled reluctantly and said weakly: "That being said, shouldn't you have prepared a long time ago and went out before dawn?" Came in the afternoon......"
Appears to be insincere.
The husband and wife were talking, and the Wang family, who had come to help entertain the guests, came over.
When she saw that the house was deserted, she was startled, and hurriedly said, "What? The matchmaker of the Wei family didn't come? ”
Chen shook his head with a worried face.
Wang's face sank and said, "This is not a matter. I'll let Ah Yuan ask. ”
Chen grabbed Wang and said, "Let's wait!" Maybe something is delayed. ”
Wang had no choice but to give up, and he was very unhappy.
Naturally, this matter could not be hidden from Yu Tang.
She was stunned for a moment, and then her heart was relaxed.
felt that it would be nothing if this family business was done like this, and she could continue to live such a brisk life for a few years. I am afraid that the elders in the family will be unhappy, after all, people have also looked at each other, and the family is also very satisfied with Wei Xiaoshan.
She went to see the Chen family and the Wang family, and when she saw them pretending to be smiling in front of her, she couldn't help but feel guilty about her disapproval, and hurriedly said: "Mom, aunt, there are many good things, without the family business of the Wei family, I can only say that our fate is not enough, you two don't have to be sad." ”
"You kid," Chen cheered up to reassure Yu Tang, "Don't interfere with the affairs of adults, your marriage mother knows what to do, you just stay in the house and embroider the uppers." Then he drove her to the house to be a female celebrity.
Yu Tang had to tell Shuangtao that if someone from the Wei family came, he would report to her, so that she would also know what had gone wrong with their marriage with the Wei family.
Shuang Tao promised with a bitter face.
The Wei family didn't come until after noon.
And it was Wei Xiaoyuan, the eldest son of the Wei family, who came with the matchmaker.
He was also empty-handed, wearing plain clothes, and tied a filial piety belt around his waist.
The people of the Yu family chuckled in their hearts.
Chen and Wang muttered in the house: "Who is the Wei family?" Their family just wanted to say goodbye to our family Ah Tang, so it won't be involved in Ah Tang, right? ”
Wang immediately decided: "Let's go, go and see!" ”
According to the courtesy, Wei Xiaoyuan went to see Yuwen first.
Chen and Wang, including Yu Tang, who had received the letter, were listening outside Yu Wen's study.
"Uncle Yu," Wei Xiaoyuan said with red eyes and a sad face, "It's our family Xiaoshan and Miss Yu who have no fate, Xiaoshan, Xiaoshan, he went out fishing last night and didn't come back, and we found out in the morning, he, he drowned!" ”
"Ahh Yu Wen, who was also about to give the Wei family a dismount, shook his hand, the tea cup fell to the ground, and with a "bang", the tea splashed on his newly changed fat shoes.
"How so?" He was furious, "Don't your family know that he is going to marry?" He also ran to fish? Is there a shortage of money in your family? ”
In his heart, he shouted "It's over, it's over", their family Ah Tang just discussed with Wei Xiaoshan, Wei Xiaoshan died, and this "Kefu" hat was only afraid that it would be buckled on their family Ah Tang's head.
The three people who eavesdropped were also stunned.
Yu Wen's words were mean and sour, Wei Xiaoyuan had just lost his brother, and if he changed people, he would quarrel with Yu Wen. Wei Xiaoyuan not only didn't quarrel with Yu Wen, but didn't even say a heavy word, but also endured his grief and said: "Uncle Yu, this matter is not right in our family. The reason why I came at this time was because my father had discussed with me for a long time before I came, because I was afraid that Miss Yu's reputation would be ruined. What my father means is that if someone asks, they will say that Miss Yu is the third child of our family, but if something like this happens to the second child of our family, we will not be able to discuss marriage with your family for a while. Your family said that they couldn't wait, and then they would find a better family affair for Miss Yu. At the beginning, I didn't decide whether to discuss with the second or third in our family. ”
"Ahh It was another accident.
Yu Wen was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
The three people who eavesdropped outside the house, especially Chen and Wang, burst into tears.
"Such a nice guy...... Such a good boy......" Chen couldn't help but whimper.
Yu Tang thought of Wei Xiaoshan's joyful eyes when he looked at him, and he also cried silently.
Yu Wen and Wei Xiaoyuan rushed out when they heard the movement, and saw three people with tears falling like rain, Yu Wen couldn't help but sigh heavily, and the person slowly eased up, and said to Wei Xiaoyuan apologetically: "I was talking about it just now, don't blame your uncle, whoever encounters such a thing will feel bad." And thou shalt exhort thy parents more to be modest. I'll follow you to the house later, and ask her cousin to burn incense on the hill. ”
The Wei family is so reasonable, they can still take into account Yu Tang's reputation when they lose their son, and they should be grateful.
Wei Xiaoyuan was very surprised, and after a few glances, Yu Tang, who was crying and comforting his elders, felt sour in his heart.
This is about the longevity of love.
Xiaoshan knew that the Yu family had also taken a fancy to him, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to do.
Unexpectedly, there was such an accident.
How nice it would be if these two could become husband and wife!
However, Xiaoshan is gone, the Yu family did not avoid it, and Miss Yu cried because of him.
He wanted to comfort the people of the Yu family for a few words, but Yu Wen patted him on the shoulder and said bitterly: "I'm going to change my clothes, let someone call Ah Yuan over, and I will go to your house with you." ”
Wei Xiaoshan glanced at Yu Tang hesitantly, wanting to tell Yu Tang about his younger brother, but then he thought about it, even if Yu Tang knew? It's just more sad. If she has a good life in the future, if she encounters difficulties in the future, she always thinks about this unsuccessful family business, won't it make her live uneasy in the future.
In the end, he didn't say anything, solemnly saluted the daughter of the Yu family, and walked out of the gate of the Yu family.
