Chapter 16: The Contest of Sisters-in-law (2)
"Sister-in-law, I also figured it out, I can still delay it for a year or two at my age, my brother is a general, are you still afraid that I won't be able to get married, sister-in-law is a person who has come over, she should know my mind best, such a big thing is not something that can be rushed out in a while!" Lu Xiangxue's movements froze, and Du Yiyi knew that her words were talking about her sore spot.
"That's what I said, Yiyi, it's not that my sister-in-law is talkative, it's that there are some things in my sister-in-law! I have to say, something like that happened a while ago, there are many people talking outside, it's not good for your reputation, and besides, the girl's family, it's not to get married, even the emperor's daughter is also worried about getting married, this matter, I still want my sister-in-law to help you pay attention to it, what do you think of my sister-in-law's cousin? He is an only son at home, his grandfather was the official to the prince Shaobao, and later the emperor ascended the throne, entered the Inspectorate to do the imperial history, only retired in recent years, his father is the right deputy governor of the imperial history, it can be said that the lintel is glorious, and his parents are reasonable and good-tempered, what about him, do a good article, this year is going to participate in the imperial examination, with his literary talent, it is also promising to take a flower, and in the future into the court, there will not be much resistance, you marry the past, that is the fate and wealth that comes out of your hand! ”
Lu Qing? At the first glance of Du Yiyi, he felt that he was a weak person, and later it was confirmed that he got along with those sons, such a person married himself, and he didn't have the final say in the future about the family's affairs? Lu Xiangxue's eyes are indeed vicious!
"Sister-in-law, my brother has already said to let it go, so don't bother with this first!"
"How can this work, you and Shen Ke have no parents, your brother doesn't care, can I, the sister-in-law, ignore you, Yiyi, don't worry, sister-in-law will definitely find a good one for you, sister-in-law will call the shots for you!" Lu Xiangxue occupies the name of the eldest sister-in-law, and has the right to speak on Du Yiyi's life and marriage, Du Yiyi can do Shen Ke's ideological work, and she can too.
"Sister-in-law............
Du Yiyi was about to speak, when a family member outside the house spoke: "Madam, the general asked you to go to the front hall to meet guests!" ”
"Who's coming?" Lu Xiangxue got up and asked.
"It's the wife of Yu Shi Yun Donggui."
"Okay, I got it, I'll go right away!" When Lu Xiangxue heard this, her face sank with joy for a while, her father was the prime minister, and she also knew something about the courtiers, after marrying Shen Ke, she had a special understanding of this, the wife of the royal Shi Yun Donggui of the capital, was not the mother of Cheng Yunmian of the James Mansion yesterday, so soon, someone began to come to the door, it seems that the benefits that the sister of the big red man in front of the hussar general emperor can bring are enough for many people to break the shackles of public opinion. "Yiyi, sit down, I'll go to the front hall to have a look!"
From Lu Xiangxue's smile, Du Yiyi guessed a rough idea, at this time, she must not stay in the backyard and wait for others to judge her fate. "Sister-in-law, I'll go with you to meet you!"
"Oh, Yiyi, you are a girl who has not yet left the pavilion, the likes of the imperial history are the most disciplined, you are not good when you go out! Be obedient and wait for your sister-in-law to go! Lu Xiangxue pressed Du Yiyi's shoulder and said to Ling'er: "Ling'er, take care of Miss, wait for me to come back!" ”
"Yes, ma'am!"
Lu Xiangxue comforted Du Yiyi a few more words, and seeing that she was speechless, she walked out of the house and went to the front hall with peace of mind.
As soon as Lu Xiangxue walked away, Du Yiyi also got up, Ling'er was Lu Xiangxue's dowry girl, so she naturally obeyed Lu Xiangxue's words, she stopped Du Yiyi, and she was unwilling to let go.
"Are you really going to let it?" Someone was talking about her marriage in front of her, but she was ostracized, and no one would be comfortable.
"Miss, Madame's orders, the slave and maid dare not disobey, so don't embarrass the slave and maid!" Ling'er gritted her teeth and guarded the door, and several old mothers in the courtyard also stood nervously outside the courtyard, looking at persuasion, in fact, they made a wall with their bodies.
"Okay, one by one, they are clear-eyed, since they all say that I am forcing you to embarrass you, then I will embarrass one for you to see!"
Before the words fell, Du Yiyi's people had already returned to the house, and in a box on the table, she found a pair of scissors.
"Go and tell your sister-in-law that if she insists on me marrying again, I'll cut this hair!"
"Miss, you can't do anything stupid!" Ling'er hit a spirit and hurriedly knelt down.
"Don't go, do you?" Looking up, it was a handful of black hair that fell to the ground.
Ling'er panicked for a while, and hurriedly ordered an old mother to go to the front hall.
Seeing the old mother walking away, Du Yiyi stopped her movements, and her black hair was black and straight, and she had already twisted it into shape.
"Miss, shall we put down the scissors and wait for Madame to come?" Vanilla was also frightened by her actions, but Du Yiyi's eyes were too sharp, and she didn't dare to step forward to grab the scissors.
"What?" Listening to the old mother's words, Lu Xiangxue stood up suddenly, bowed her head to the old mother in Lu Xiangxue's ear and avoided it, and her nose was scratched by the Zhu Hai on her head.
Although Shen Ke didn't hear what the old mother said, Lu Xiangxue's surprised appearance and the old mother's panicked expression were probably not a good thing, but since the old mother didn't make a noise, it meant that it was something that could not be communicated with outsiders, so he didn't ask but smiled and said to Yun Donggui: "This is my sister's big thing, I still have to think about it a thing or two, and ask Lord Yun to go back first, and Shen will give Lord Yun a letter in a few days, how about it?" ”
"Yes, yes, such a big thing, you still have to think about it more, since that's the case, I'll go back and wait for General Shen's letter first!" Mrs. Yun came to the door today to propose marriage to her son, of course, she was a little unwilling, although Shen Ke's official rank was high, but her sister's reputation was really unbearable, this little son was her favorite, such a girl, she thought that she was not worthy of her son, but now Shen Ke said that she wanted to think about it or two, this is obviously not her son, thinking about it, she felt angry, if it wasn't for her son's insistence, her husband told him about the benefits in many ways, She won't rush to the Shen Mansion to do such a shameful thing, it's okay not to come, if she still can't marry when she goes to the door now, it will be too big a blow to the Yun family's reputation for her son.
"Okay, madam, you go and send Mrs. Yun." Shen Ke got up and glanced at the old woman who rubbed her nose weirdly.
"Mrs. Yun, I'll send you!" Although Lu Xiangxue was panicked, she also knew that this matter could not be made quiet, this Yun Donggui said that it was not those pedantic imperial histories who only knew fame, but at this time, they could not let others get a talk, let alone let the Yun family who came to the door to marry know about it.
After Lu Xiangxue and Mrs. Yun left, Shen Ke did not go back to the house, but stopped the old mother.
"Say, what's the matter?"
Shen Ke knew about Shen Ke's cold face today, and the old mother didn't dare to hide such a big thing, and before Shen Ke could say it a second time, she spit out the truth.
As soon as he heard that Du Yiyi was twisting his hair, Shen Ke couldn't calm down, and without waiting for Lu Xiangxue to return, he went to Lu Xiangxue's yard.
"Yiyi!"
She did such a stupid thing before, and the only person who would feel distressed was Shen Ke, but now, she is going to do such a stupid thing again, how can he not blame himself, how not to worry!
"Miss, the general is here, put down the scissors!" Ling'er and Vanilla listened to the voices outside the house, and they both tried harder to persuade them.
Shen Ke, Shen Ke is here just in time!
She is not a person who doesn't know what to do, she doesn't want to be embarrassed by anyone, and she doesn't want to embarrass Shen Ke, since she can't stay in Shen Mansion, in addition to getting married, she can also move out, anyway, everyone outside knows that Shen Ke's sister has difficulty moving, she uses this excuse to go out of Shen Mansion to recuperate, isn't it okay?
"Yiyi, what are you doing here?" As soon as Shen Ke entered the door, he saw the two maidservants kneeling on the ground and trying to persuade them and the black hair on the ground, and then he saw the messy and long hair on Du Yiyi's pale face and the shiny scissors.
He, Shen Ke, a hussar general, has been in the army for five years, fighting countless times on the battlefield without changing his face, he bravely broke through the grassland barbarian army in the first battle of Yuting River, and the military general is the person who is with the sword, he has never been afraid of the weapon in the hands of the enemy, but this time, he is afraid, he is afraid that this scissors will not only cut Du Yiyi's black hair, but also take her life!
Everyone only said that he doted on this sister who was not his own, but no one knew that they were dependent on each other in Jingcheng, so many years of your feelings, but now, because of him and her, he has been victimized again and again, how can he not blame himself!
"Shen Ke, you came just in time, I won't get married, if you force me, I will simply be with the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, I know, I did something like that, Shen Mansion can't stay, you don't have to go to great lengths to marry me out, I'll move out by myself!"
"Yiyi, what are you talking about, we have been crying in Jingcheng, and we have been dependent on each other, but now you say you want to move out!"
She smiled, but her brows were furrowed, angina, she didn't want to embarrass anyone, but she just embarrassed herself.
"Whether it's Jingshi or Jingcheng, as long as I'm not in this Shen Mansion, I'm willing to go, Shen Ke, I don't want to marry, it's not because I'm still in love with you, you're already someone else's husband, I died once, and my heart died......"
"Didn't I already promise you not to force you to marry again? You put down the scissors first! Shen Ke interrupted anxiously.
"Miss."
"Yiyi."
Outside the house, the voices of Lu Xiangxue and Xu's mother sounded one after another.
"Yiyi, what are you doing stupidly!" After a group of old mothers got out of the way, Lu Xiangxue walked in quickly, followed by Mother Xu.
"Xiangxue, from today on, you don't interfere in Yiyi's marriage anymore, I will be the master of this matter in the future!" Shen Ke understood that the most important thing in this matter was not Du Yiyi, but Lu Xiangxue, who still held Du Yiyi's intention of marrying.
"Husband, you are a petty man, do you just respond?" Lu Xiangxue looked at her husband with a gloomy face, seeing that he was just frowning, she was in her heart at the moment, and quickly ran to Du Yiyi to grab the scissors in her hand.
Du Yiyi was already a little disadvantageous in her legs and feet, of course, the competition was not able to win the heart-wrenching Lu Xiangxue, Lu Xiangxue was desperate, and directly grabbed the side of the scissors, and the sharp scissors immediately cut through her delicate flesh and skin, and the blood flowed, she frowned in pain, but she did not let go.
This time, Du Yiyi couldn't do it, her sister-in-law's madness was just because of her love for Shen Ke, such madness was similar to the disappeared Du Yiyi.
Is a person like Shen Ke worthy of the desperate love of two women?
Blood is the medicine that washes everything away.
Suddenly, she understood Lu Xiangxue's difficulties, Shen Ke's difficulties, and Du Yiyi's mood at the moment when she jumped off the city tower.
