Chapter 99: Substitute Marriage
Sima Daiyuan's words, compared to the sachet just now, shocked Sima Guansheng, and the tea she held in her mouth squirted out.
"Big sister, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? How is this possible? ”
Sima Daiyuan's expression was a little excited, and she hurriedly responded: "Second sister, as long as you are willing, you will definitely do it." When the time comes, you will get on the sedan chair for me, cook the raw rice and cook the rice, and my father will be helpless to know the truth. The Yu family is married to a girl from Sima Mansion, it doesn't matter if you marry me or not, not to mention that you are still the daughter of the family? They should be stealing fun. ”
Substitute marriage? Didn't you marry in the last life? Scholars? Wasn't it Liu He, the king of Yunyi, in the previous life?
Perhaps, it was because the Zhong family lost the right to take charge! That...... Everything has really changed, so there will be no more dowry? Won't she, Sima Daiyuan, meet Liu He again?
Thinking of this, she secretly rejoiced in her heart, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and she racked her brains to find a solution, but now it has been solved.
Seeing her stunned, Sima Daiyuan continued: "Second sister, don't worry, I will bear all the consequences of this matter, and I will never let my father embarrass you." Isn't it good? Second sister? ”
"Big sister, it's not a question of who bears the consequences. If such a ridiculous thing spreads, the ancestors of the Sima family will be disgraced, making the Sima Mansion the laughing stock of the whole Yang City. What kind of face does the father have to stand in officialdom? How can a father hold his head up in front of his colleagues? ”
Before Sima Guansheng finished explaining the relationship, Sima Daiyuan grabbed her skirt and knelt on the ground with a plop, crying, "Second sister, I beg you, okay?" As the saying goes: It is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage. Can you just bear to see death and not save me, and break up me and Brother Liyue? ”
Sima Guansheng was so frightened by her sudden movement that he got up from his chair, looking at a loss.
After half a ring, she came back to her senses and stretched out her hands to help Sima Daiyuan up.
Big sister! Big sister, when did your knees become so soft?
"Big sister, get up and talk. How about you let people see it? ”
"No, if the second sister doesn't agree, I'll keep kneeling."
“……”
Sima Wansheng frowned slightly, and was dumbfounded by Sima Dai.
When Sima Wansheng was helpless, Ling's mother, who was waiting outside the door, suddenly reported: "Second girl, Mother Liang next to the old lady is here, please go to Qilanxuan." ”
When Sima Guansheng heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "Big sister, grandmother is looking for Guan Sheng, Guan Sheng...... Guan Sheng won't accompany you first. If there is anything, we will discuss it later. With that, she hurriedly pulled Sima Daiyuan's hand away, and hurriedly turned around and walked towards the door.
Sima Daiyuan knelt on the ground, lowered her head, grabbed the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, put away the disguised tears, and her eyes were instantly terrifying.
After Sima Daiyuan went out, she hurriedly explained a few words to Jade, and then led Ling's mother and Liang's mother towards Qilanxuan.
Jade watched the group walk away, and didn't see Sima Daiyuan come out, so she went into the house to check.
She saw Sima Daiyuan kneeling on the ground, her face was shocked, she walked in three steps and two steps to Sima Daiyuan, squatted down, supported Sima Daiyuan, and said urgently: "Big girl, what's wrong with you?" How to kneel on the ground? Come, slave and maid help you up. ”
Hearing the sound, Sima Daiyuan's eyes softened slightly, and with the help of jadeite, she slowly stood up from the ground.
"Big girl, what the hell is going on? It can't be that the second girl is deliberately making things difficult for you because of the last exorcism, right? The second girl has always been gentle, and she is better with the big girl, and she shouldn't be embarrassed, and the big girl is ......," Jade said to herself.
When Sima Daiyuan heard this, she turned her face away, glared at her angrily, her eyes were so cold that Jade immediately shut up, not daring to say another word.
The room suddenly became silent, Sima Daiyuan shook off Jade's hand, shook the hem of her skirt twice, and walked towards the door with her head held high, and Jade followed carefully behind her.
Qi Lan Xuan, the old lady's residence.
The old lady had already ordered someone to make high-quality rose tea for Sima Guansheng, waiting for Sima Guansheng to come.
After Sima Guansheng entered the door and saluted, the old lady hurriedly called her to sit down in front of her, and said amiably: "Sheng, girl, there is rose tea for you on the table, drink it while it's hot." ”
She answered, picking up the teacup and taking a careful sip.
The old lady's ears twitched slightly, as if she heard her swallowing sound, and hurriedly asked, "Is this rose tea comparable to your favorite honey ginger jujube tea?" ”
Sima Guansheng hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Each has its own merits, all of them are jade dew elixir, and Guansheng should rub more to drink." The tone was full of playfulness.
"It's the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and it's not suitable to drink more ginger jujube tea, drink more flower tea to beautify your face."
"What my grandmother said is very true, when Guan Sheng goes back, she will prepare more flower tea, eat and drink, and drink every day until she becomes as beautiful as a flower like a nine-day fairy."
The old lady coughed lightly, cleared her throat, and said with a smile: "You girl, you are talking more and more unorthodox." When I went to Yongzhou this time, did I encounter any good things? ”
Sima Guansheng thought thoughtfully, swallowed the sip of flower tea in his mouth, and replied with some doubts: "Guansheng is stupid, I don't know what grandmother's so-called good things are?" ”
"Have you ever met someone you like?" The old lady went straight to the point.
When Sima Guansheng heard this, he hurriedly said: "No, how is this possible, how can grandmother ask Guansheng such a question?" With a shy face, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed to talk about these issues in front of a room full of maids.
Although the old lady couldn't see Sima Guansheng's expression, she could also hear from Sima Guansheng's tone that Sima Guansheng was embarrassed. So, she sent the maids and daughters in the house out, leaving only Liang's mother, who was close to her, to wait beside her.
After hearing the sound of the door closing, the old lady continued: "It is not an unspeakable thing for men to marry and women to marry, grandmother only hopes that you can find a good match." I heard that the son of the county lord Liu Yuwan, a talent, full of scriptures, is still this year's new champion. Such a standout, my grandmother couldn't help but applaud when she heard it. This way is her mother and son escorting you back to Luoyang, presumably you have also had a few encounters with the son of the Feng family. I wonder how credible my grandmother's hearsay is? So what is the son of the Feng family? ”
"The son of the Feng family is indeed a pillar of talent, knowledgeable and courteous, and modest, and what his grandmother heard is not hearsay." Sima Guansheng also said truthfully, that Feng Bozhong was very good except for the focus of his bookishness.
When the old lady heard this, she felt a sense of relief and sighed: "This is very good, then grandmother can rest assured that she will marry you to the Feng family." ”
"Marrying into the Feng family?" Sima Guansheng's eyes widened in surprise, and his face was full of surprise, "Grandmother, where did this matter begin?" ”
"You don't know?"
Sima Guansheng nodded in response.
The old lady continued: "Your grandmother pulled the thread, and I heard your father say that the county lord Liu Yuwan is also very satisfied with your future daughter-in-law. Today, your father came to hear my opinion, and if I don't have an opinion, it will be a sure thing. In this way, my Sima family can be regarded as a double happiness, and the two girls get married together. ”
At this moment, Sima Guansheng was very confused, she didn't know how to respond, and sat there in a daze.
The old lady's voice has been down for a long time, and she doesn't see Sima Wansheng's squeak. She hurriedly called: "Sheng girl, why don't you speak?" ”
"Grandmother said, just listen to it."
"Do you still feel good about this family business?"
What if you don't get it? Marriage has always followed the words of the matchmaker according to the orders of my parents, but I just don't want to, what can I do? After all, it's still meat on the chopping board, to be slaughtered.
"Marriage, where is there any unsatisfactory thing, hasn't it always been the words of the matchmaker of the parents?" Her mood became very low, and there was obvious displeasure in her tone.
The old lady's heart was like a mirror, and she heard the meaning from Sima Guansheng's tone, and said with a smile: "Sheng, girl, say it!" Why aren't you satisfied with this family business? ”
"Grandmother, Guan Sheng doesn't."
The old lady shook her head with a smile, stretched out her hands and groped to grab Sima Guansheng's jade hand, and Sima Guansheng cooperated and stretched out her hands under her palm.
She patted Sima Guansheng's jade hand and said softly: "Sheng, girl, although grandmother is blind, her heart is like a mirror, you can't deceive grandmother." Tell me your reasons, and if so, your grandmother will do her best to make decisions for you. ”
Sima Guansheng hesitated for a long time, but did not say anything.
Seeing that she was silent, the old lady continued to ask, "Do you have someone you like?" As soon as the old lady asked, she seemed to feel that something was wrong, this Sima Guansheng didn't go out of the door all day long, where was the opportunity to make friends with a foreign man, she was busy correcting her mistakes and said: "It's my grandmother who is too careful, how can my girl be ......?"
Since the old lady had already brought the topic to this, she felt that there was no need to hide it anymore, so she decided to let the old lady help her, so she hurriedly replied: "Grandmother, what you said is good, Guan Sheng is a pleasant person." ”
As soon as she said this, the room fell silent for an instant.
The old lady's face was full of astonishment, and she couldn't help but accept Sima Guansheng's hand, and Liang's mother, who was waiting on the side, was also stunned.
After a long time, the old lady asked in a low voice, "Which family is it?" ”
"The grandson of Mrs. Shi Fushi, the little doctor of the Bai Doctor's Hospital, Liu Liyue."
"Liu Liyue?" The old lady muttered in a low voice, and asked thoughtfully for a moment: "Is it that the descendant who often comes to the mansion to see my illness and speaks very pleasantly?" ”
"Well, that's him."
"This person's character is good, but his family background is too complicated, and he is just a cloth cloth, with the skill of practicing medicine or can solve the problem of food and clothing, but he has no power and is not immune to being bullied, if you marry him, you must have a lot of trouble, after all, it is not a good match."
"Grandmother, Guan Sheng is not afraid of hard life, as long as the two hearts cherish each other, no matter how hard and tired they are, they will be happy. I also hope that my grandmother will make decisions for Guan Sheng, and Yuan Guan Sheng wishes. Sima Guansheng hurriedly explained that if she could ask the old lady for help, then she and Liu Liyue would not miss it again.
When the old lady heard this, she shook her head slightly and frowned, sighed and said in a low voice: "Sheng girl, grandmother is also from here, and your grandmother also understands your thoughts." It is also the common feeling of people to be beautiful and prosperous, and the spring heart is budding. ”
