In Sister Qiu's opinion, the Rong family just thinks that the Mei family is poor and is not worthy of their family, so they refuse to admit to the marriage event. If her father can pass the examination or give birth or something, maybe it will be the turn of the Mei family to repent of the marriage, and the Rong family will beg for Bai Lai to fulfill the marriage contract.

"But don't talk nonsense!" Jia Shiban'er's face rose, and then he immediately felt that his attitude was too strict, and hurriedly softened his tone and said, "Sister Qiu, you are still young and don't understand. Listen to your mother's words about this matter, after two years, you will become the young lady of the Rong family, and you will know your mother's hard work. ”

The Jia family is willing to listen to Sister Qiu's deployment arrangements in other matters, but he is very stubborn in this matter. Her tone was soft and relieved, but her hand was holding Sister Qiu's palm tightly, not allowing for discrimination. Sister Qiu looked at the Jia family, who was full of brilliance on her face and eyes, and she didn't know what to say, and wanted to withdraw her hand, but she found that her hand was clenched tightly for Jia's, "Mother's ......"

"Don't talk about it, Sister Qiu, you shouldn't worry about this matter." Jia Shi spoke, became sad again, hugged Sister Qiu and whispered to herself, "Sister Qiu, you are the daughter of an old Xiucai!" Worthy of their family, why can't they be worthy? We haven't stuck to your father in our lives, so we can't compromise you in marriage! ”

Sister Qiu lowered her head, it would be good to go back to the Rong family, so that the Jia family could understand that she was dead. What if she is the daughter of an old Xiucai, without a father and a mother, in the eyes of the ancients, she is a poor orphan girl who has lost her trust, and Rong Deyi is not a gentleman who talks about benevolence, righteousness, reason and faith, so it is strange that she will admit this marriage event.

The next morning, the genius was bright, Jia got up, called Sister Qiu, the sun had not risen outside the window, the house was full of green light, under the vegetable field in the courtyard, the vegetables planted by Jia in the early spring had already smoked leaves, cowpeas and gourds were all climbing vines on wooden sticks, and the oil was green. In the morning, the air was fresh, and the whole village was quiet and still asleep.

After a brief wash, the two went out. On the same side, Jia Shi took Sister Qiu's palm and walked forward silently, looking at Sister Qiu who bowed her head and did not squeak, Jia only had a wry smile on her face, she knew that her daughter was angry with her in her heart, Sister Qiu was not happy to go to the Rong family, and the Rong family was not trustworthy, and went to the Rong family as if she was begging others to agree to the marriage and lose face.

But she believes that this is for Sister Qiu's good, and for her daughter's future life. What's wrong with enduring a moment of anger in exchange for a lifetime of stable life? When Sister Qiu grows up and knows how difficult it is for a woman to live in the world, she will understand her good intentions.

When the two walked to the town, the sun had already come out, and the market on the street was still bustling. The Rong family is on the west side of the town, with a red lacquered gate six feet high and six feet wide, and two big red sheep's horn lanterns hanging under the verandah, which is very magnificent.

If before, out of a sense of psychological inferiority, Jia would not dare to knock on the door of the Rong family, but now that she is the future of her daughter, she mustered up the courage and knocked on the copper ring by the door.

A small opening in the doorway opened, and a young man bent down and looked them both up and down through the doorway, frowned, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Before Jia Shi could figure out how to reply, the guy inside the door was already impatient, and raised his voice and asked again, "What are you doing?" Is it the material to make the washing of the mother? Go, there's a little door to the west, go and knock there! ”

"No, it's not." Jia stumbled and said, "We are here to find someone." ”

"Looking for someone?" The guy was dumbfounded and hung the corners of his eyebrows, extremely impatient, and looked up and down at Sister Qiu and Jia's family, this mother and son are really dressed enough, they should be looking for the servants in the mansion, and waved his hand: "Looking for someone to go to the small gate in the west!" This door won't be opened. With that, the man slammed the door shut.

Jia Shi glanced at the closed red lacquer door, sighed helplessly, and dragged Sister Qiu to the west, the threshold of the rich and noble family is high, and he saw that all the individuals had passed through the report of the servants.

Bypassing most of the Rong family, the two walked to the side door of the west, the small wooden door seemed to be a little old, and the paint was all a little off, showing the yellow plank.

Jia knocked on the door, and after a while, the wooden door opened with a bang, and a grandmother in her forties looked at Sister Qiu and Jia and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"We're looking for someone." Jia Shi hurriedly said, "I am looking for Rong Deyi. ”

Mama was startled, looked at Jia Shi twice, and only then did she react, "Are you looking for my grandfather?" Where are you? ”

"I'm ...... Mei Lao Xiucai's daughter-in-law, this is my daughter, Mei Lao Xiucai's daughter. Jia Shi preached with Sister Qiu.

Mama shook her head, "I don't recognize Mei Lao Xiucai, the old Xiucai in this town is not surnamed Mei." "As he spoke, he had to close the door.

Jia Shi was anxious, "We are not from the town, we are from Xiaohe Town, and we were from Rong Deyi before." ”

Hearing this, Mama hesitated to close the door, and saw that Jia's seemed to be a poor relative who came to fight Qiu Feng'er, so she wanted to drive out, and asked with a shelf: "Then you come to the door, do you have a request?" ”

Jia Shi froze, "Asking for a post?" What is the post? ”

"That's not asking for a post?" Mama shook her head, "I can't let you in without asking for a post." ”

After walking the road for so long, in the end, he couldn't even enter the door of the Rong family, Jia's anxious eyes were all red, and he pulled his grandmother's palm and said: "Auntie, please report to your grandfather, the Mei Lao Xiucai family he is sure to recognize, Rong Kang...... Rong Kang and my daughter are married! ”

Mama laughed "heh", and looked down at Sister Qiu, Sister Qiu hid behind Jia's family, Mama could only look at Sister Qiu's weak figure and full of patched clothes, dressed like a little flower son, is the young master's fiancée? Laughing to death.

"Yes, yes, yes." Mama withdrew her hand, "I'll help you inform, as for whether Grandpa has time to see you, I can't be the master as a servant." ”

Jia hurriedly thanked him, but before he could finish his words of thanks, the wooden door slammed shut again.

The two waited quietly by the door, Jia Shi saw that Sister Qiu was silent, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart, and took the initiative to smile and said: "Sister Qiu, it's good to see your Uncle De, when you were a child, your Uncle De was rare for you, and he was reluctant to let go of you, and he always said that it would be good for him to have a beautiful daughter like you." ”

Sister Qiu reluctantly gave Jia a smile, mother, what people like is that you give his son a free nurse, not like me, and I am tired of making it clear.

After a long while, the door of the small side door opened again, and the previous grandmother stood by the door, beckoning Jia and Sister Qiu to enter the door, and Jia happily thanked Mama one after another. Mama answered twice and led them forward.

In addition to the experience of the Wang family in Huyang City, Sister Qiu is the second time to step into the rich and noble family in ancient times, but when she was in the Wang family, Sister Qiu didn't even dare to raise her head, and she had no impression of the Wang family's Zhumen giant. The Rong family is mostly a tiled house with blue bricks and red tiles, not as gorgeous as Sister Qiu imagined, and it is expected that although the Rong family in Xiaohe Town looks like a "wealthy family", in fact, it is only a rich family, otherwise it would not recruit Rong Deyi, who also has a son, as a son-in-law.

Mama led Jia Shi and Sister Qiu to the door of a courtyard, and asked the two of them to wait here, someone would come to entertain them, and they left first.

The roads of the Rong family are all paved with red bricks, and simple flowers and trees are planted on both sides of the road.

The louder it is, Sister Qiu can still listen to what they are laughing at.

"Look, that means that you have made a marriage with the young master!"

"Hey, just her? How to talk to a ...... like a flower son"

"I'm afraid no one wants to pee like this? Why don't you rely on our young master? Didn't I say that the second uncle of that family came over yesterday, why did you come again today? ”

"Be quiet, you're stupid, it's inconvenient to marry in, you don't have to be a flower son!"

Jia Shi also heard these sneering sounds clearly, she lowered her head, her face was red with embarrassment, she held Sister Qiu's palm tightly, and there was an unspeakable wedge of grievance and anger in her heart, her daughter is not called a flower son! Her daughter is an old talented girl, why is she not worthy of the Rong family? This marriage event was brought by Rong Deyi kneeling in front of her and Mei Laoxiu, if he didn't admit it, he would hit him in the face!

Sister Qiu stood expressionlessly, letting the maids and grandmothers take a look, if the Rong family is a good family, do they take the initiative to come to the door to ask? They are sent to the door by themselves to be looked down upon and complained by.

After a long while, the courtyard door opened, and a daughter-in-law in her thirties came out of the courtyard, saw Jia and Sister Qiu by the door, took a few careful looks, smiled and pulled Jia's palm, and said affectionately: "Are you the old Xiucai lady of the Mei family?" ”

Jia Shi looked at her in her thirties, her face was white and smooth, her hands were well maintained, she was wearing a clean and neat satin shirt and embroidered skirt, her hair was combed and brushed, and she was wearing a silver hairpin, and she hurriedly smiled and said, "I am." You are Rong Deyi's daughter-in-law? ”

The visitor's face froze, then he shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not, I'm the housekeeper of the Rong family, my wife is not feeling well today, and I can't see you, so I am entrusted to entertain you." ”

Without waiting for Jia Shi to react, the housekeeper lady pulled Jia Shi to the side, took the two of them to an ear room, sat down, and asked Yahuan to bring a plate of berries and put it in front of Sister Qiu.

The housekeeper's lady smiled affectionately with Jia and said, "It's not easy for you to come back, grandpa's hometown is also a long way from here, have you had breakfast with the young lady?" I'll tell the kitchenette to bring it to you. ”
