Text Chapter 117 Proposal
Aunt Shen patted Hao Lingwei's little hand on her shoulder, pulled her to sit down on the chair next to her, and sighed lightly: "You don't know, Hao Mansion is so big, it is inevitable that it will be a little annoying." Yesterday, the old man also gave me a heavy task, so that I must do it well, how can I not be bothered? ”
"Heavy duty? Mother, what the hell is going on? Hao Lingwei asked curiously.
"What else could be going on in this house? It's your eldest brother's marriage, the lord said that the eldest young master's marriage will be handled as soon as possible, this recent good day is September 12, and there are seven days to prepare, can I not worry? Aunt Shen frowned and told Hao Lingwei about the pros and cons of this.
Hao Lingwei was more and more puzzled when she heard this, "Mother, the eldest brother fell into the water last time, hasn't he recovered yet?" Okay, why are you in such a hurry to get married? Could it be that the Nading family proposed it? ”
"No," Aunt Shen shook her head, "Didn't a Wude Zen Master come to our house yesterday?" Wude Zen Master said that your eldest brother's life is not hard enough now, and he needs a person with a hard life to help block it, and it just so happens that Ding Page is the best candidate, so the master said that he will handle the marriage of the eldest young master as soon as possible. ”
These two sentences are not clear to Hao Lingwei, and besides, now that Master Hao's order has come down, she had better handle this matter as soon as possible, lest Master Hao's opinion of her deepen, it will be worth the loss.
In this way, Aunt Shen turned her head sideways and said to Shen's mother who was standing on the side: "Mother Shen, you better go and pick some things first, go to Ding's house to propose marriage first, their family marries their daughter, so you can prepare for it." If you don't want their family's dowry, you have to make up some face, don't you? ”
Mother Shen smiled flatteringly: "It's still our wife who is kind and always thinks about others." Madame rest assured, the old slave will do it, and keep it in order. ”
Aunt Shen bowed her head lightly and motioned to Shen's mother to do it quickly.
The Ding family's family background is there, what kind of people are with what kind of things, Shen's mother took Aunt Shen's order, picked two things in the warehouse at random, and took people to Ding's house.
At this time, it was the morning, and the Ding family was busy selling tofu, and suddenly saw Shen's mother and a large group of maids hugging over, and the maids were still carrying some things in their hands, squeezing aside several aunts who were originally going to buy tofu. A few of the Ding family's mothers muttered, are they here to smash the stall, or are they here to buy tofu?
Ding Yezi didn't know Shen's mother, and naturally she didn't know the intention of this group of people to come to their house, so she took a step forward and greeted with a light smile: "Guys, do you want to buy tofu?" ”
Ding Page's generosity and enthusiasm changed to another meaning in Shen's mother's eyes, and she only felt that she didn't look like a girl at all.
Mother Shen didn't pay attention to Ding Page's question, only looked at Ding's mother, and asked lightly, "This is the eldest sister-in-law of the Ding family, right?" ”
Mother Shen has served by Aunt Shen's side for many years, even when she was in the Shen Mansion before, she was also a figure standing on the heads of many subordinates, from dress to words and deeds, everything was not comparable to ordinary people.
Ding's mother glanced at Ding Page a little helplessly, and then nodded to Shen's mother: "Exactly, who is this lady?" ”
Mother Shen looked at Ding's mother with a little fear of her, remembered what she had done this time, and hurriedly fine-tuned her facial expressions, trying her best to look like a good talker.
"I have something important to discuss with you, I wonder if I can go in and talk about it?"
Ding's mother listened to her softened tone, and it was not easy to refuse, so she hurriedly rubbed her hands on her clothes, and stretched out her hand to signal Shen's mother to come to the house to please.
The maids who followed behind Shen's mother naturally followed into the courtyard of the Ding family.
Ding Yezi saw that the group of people had entered, and saw that there didn't seem to be many people who came to buy tofu at this time, so he said to Ding Rou and Ding Xiaohu, who also didn't know the situation: "Rou'er, Xiaohu, you take care of this stall first, and I'll go and see what's going on." ”
Ding Xiaohu grabbed Ding Page's clothes, and said a little nervously: "Sister, if there is anything, you can call me, and I will go in immediately to support you." ”
Ding Yezi laughed when he heard this, his heart warmed, he reached out and rubbed Ding Xiaohu's little head, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's a blue sky, and so many people are coming, there must be something important, they won't be here to make trouble, don't worry." ”
Having said that, in fact, Ding Yezi was also quite apprehensive in his heart, after all, Shen's mother didn't come alone, and she also brought a lot of maids behind her. With the mentality of luck, Ding Page walked quickly to the hall behind.
The person who came was a guest, and Ding's mother politely invited Shen's mother to sit on the main seat, and said politely: "You wait first, I'll pour you a cup of tea." ”
Mother Shen waved her hand and smiled reluctantly: "No need, let's get down to business first." ”
Ding's mother had no choice but to sit on another chair, "What do you say?" ”
Mother Shen waved her hand at the maids, and everyone hurriedly put all the things they were holding on the generous table of the Ding family.
Mother Ding looked at the thing in front of her in a daze, and looked at Mother Shen in confusion, "What does this mean?" ”
Mother Shen smiled lightly: "I forgot to tell you, I am Aunt Shen's wet nurse in Haofu, and this time our master asked me to propose marriage on my behalf." ”
"Propose?" Ding's mother stared at her eyes in surprise, and her heart jumped up and down, decisively suspecting that there was something wrong with her hearing. How is that possible? What kind of family is Haofu? How could they marry a girl from a small family like them?
Mother Shen nodded, letting Mother Ding know that she had heard correctly.
Ding's mother rubbed her hands nervously and asked, "I don't know which son in the house wants to marry?" Which girl will you marry me? ”
Mother Shen said: "Naturally, the eldest young master of Hao Mansion wants to marry, and the one who marries is the eldest girl of your Ding family!" ”
Ding's mother was stunned, her eyes became more and more round, and she looked at Shen's mother, and the doubts in her heart came out layer by layer, and she really couldn't understand why the eldest young master of Haofu wanted to marry Ding Page. Although there was gossip between the two of them a few months ago, her daughter knew that Ding Yezi could not have any personal relationship with the eldest young master of Hao Mansion, and those words were just gaffes in a hurry.
It's been a few months, and the gossip outside has slowly faded away, which one is Hao Fu playing?
Mother Shen saw Mother Ding's doubts, remembered Aunt Shen's previous words, thought for a moment, waved her hand to the maid standing on the side, and motioned for them to go out and wait first. When there were only the two of them left in the house, he said truthfully to Ding's mother: "The eldest sister-in-law of the Ding family is a mother, and they are all thinking about their own children, so I won't hide this from you." The family matter was indeed mentioned for my eldest young master, and it was also said by my eldest young master himself, but my eldest young master accidentally fell into the water at night a few days ago, and now I don't know what the personnel is, and I don't know when he will wake up. ”
After that, Shen's mother sighed heavily, and her helplessness and anxiety were all revealed.
Ding's mother suddenly realized, it turned out to be like this, no wonder the wind outside a few days ago rumored that the eldest young master of Haofu was seriously ill, but it was still true. Could it be that they want to marry a daughter-in-law and go back to Chongxi?
"Since the eldest young master of your mansion is still sick, how can he marry a wife? Let's wait until the eldest young master is well. Ding's mother didn't want to offend Hao's house, so she simply looked for a reason.
Mother Shen's attitude changed immediately, and her originally anxious face turned into an indifferent and indifferent color, and she said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law of the Ding family, I think you are also a smart person, if the eldest young master of my family is okay, the girls in Taihe County are afraid that they are lining up to marry the eldest young master of our family, how can it be your turn to be the Ding family?" This proposal was personally mentioned by our master, presumably you also know the character of our master, as long as your Ding family and Haofu become in-laws, Haofu will still be able to treat you badly in the future? There are endless benefits for you,"
Ding's mother was still hesitating, and Shen's mother continued: "If you don't agree, it's okay, it's just that if my eldest young master has three longs and two shorts, once the master gets angry, I'm afraid no one can stop him." ”
Let's talk about the benefits of two families becoming parents, and then talk about the disadvantages of not becoming parents, Shen's mother really used coercion and temptation. If Ding's mother doesn't agree, then she can't help it, right? At that time, the lord can't blame her for it, no matter what, she can't let people rob other people's daughters.
Ding's mother wrung her hands, she really didn't know how to choose, at this moment, she really wanted to call Ding Page in and let her help think about what to do. Just thinking about it, Ding Page really came in.
At this time, Ding Yezi had already learned the identity of Shen's mother from the maid outside, so as soon as he entered, he politely saluted Shen's mother, and then said: "Mother Shen, marriage is not child's play, can you give us time to think about it?" ”
Mother Shen became more and more displeased with Ding Page's trespass, and frowned: "It's not that I can't give you time to think about it, it's just that the eldest young master is in critical condition, and the master hopes that Miss Ding can marry the eldest young master as soon as possible, and the date is set for the twelfth of this month." ”
As soon as she heard that the Hao Mansion had set the date, Ding's mother immediately jumped up and waved her hand again and again: "The Hao Mansion is too big, and our small family can't afford to climb high, so please find someone else in the house." ”
Shen's mother's face immediately drooped.
Ding Yezi pulled Ding's mother, and said to Shen's mother with a light smile: "Shen's mother don't worry, it's just this noon time for our family to discuss, please ask my mother to invite someone to come and see it in the afternoon, okay?" ”
Mother Shen is not an impersonal person, she can't make this proposal, people must give an answer immediately, right? Always give time to think about it.
In this way, Shen's mother nodded and said, "It's okay, then you can think about it, and I'll come back in the afternoon." ”
