Chapter 100: Rumors Spread
The old lady may have said that she was tired, paused for a moment, eased her breath and continued: "But this cannot be used as a reason for entrusting life, poor couples mourn everything, this is an eternal principle. As a woman, finding a good match is a lifelong event. Character is the first, family background is supplemented, and both are indispensable. Sheng, you have to listen to your grandmother in this matter, and your grandmother also hopes that you will have a smooth life. Slowly forget the spring heart! In this way, you will usher in happiness. ”
"Grandmother ......" Sima Guansheng wanted to refute, wanted to argue with reason, and wanted to seek the approval of the old lady.
But before she could say anything, she was interrupted by the old lady.
The old lady babbled a lot of truths, every sentence was reasonable, and every word was full of affection.
At first, she still wanted to persuade the old lady with her incorruptible tongue. Later, seeing that the old lady was so persistent, she didn't bother anymore and let the old lady teach her earnestly.
The next day, the Lu family prepared a generous gift to visit the Feng Mansion, and invited Liu Yuwan's mother and son to Sima Mansion for a gathering on the grounds of thanking Liu Yuwan's mother and son for escorting Sima Guansheng back to Luoyang.
At this banquet, Mrs. Sima was afraid that Sima Guansheng would be rude, so she deliberately let Sima Guansheng avoid it, and she, Sima Qu and Lu entertained Liu Yuwan's mother and son.
Of course, for this kind of pivotal banquet, a concubine like Zhong Xiaoniang is not qualified to show her head.
During the banquet, Mrs. Sima deliberately found an opportunity to talk with Feng Bozhong, from the principles of dealing with people to family trivialities.
Feng Bozhong responded patiently, and his face was full of smiles during the banquet, and his words and deeds were also very decent. Although the old lady couldn't see it, it was not difficult to hear from Feng Bozhong's response that he was really a person with both talents and could be entrusted with his life.
While laughing and talking, the old lady hinted at her meaning to Sima Qu, and at the end of the banquet, the marriage between the two families was naturally finalized.
The Lu family immediately ordered someone to present Sima Guansheng's birthday eight characters to determine the good fortune.
She also personally sent Liu Yuwan's mother and son to the carriage, and watched them leave before turning back to the house.
The maids and daughters-in-law had nothing to do, so they liked to talk about these new things, and soon, the marriage between the Sima family and the Feng family spread throughout the Sima Mansion.
When Zhong Xiaoniang heard the news, she was angry, she was angry and hateful. Qi Sima Daiyuan is stubborn, and hates Sima Guansheng for being able to climb such a high gate.
She worked hard for more than ten years, in exchange for nothing. Her own stewardship was taken away by the Lu family, but her only daughter was going to marry a poor sour jinshi, and she was so angry that she couldn't sit still.
When Sima Guansheng heard the news, he was even more anxious. She never expected that she would escape the catastrophe of "marriage" and give birth to such a scene.
She wandered back and forth in the room in a hurry, her brow furrowed.
Is it true that I and the Albanians are inseparable? Reborn once, do you still have to pass by him again, will Lao Yan fly apart? God, why are you playing such a trick on me? Why do you deliberately plant flowers and flowers that do not bloom, and unintentionally plant willows and willows into the shade?
She felt so useless and helpless.
Mother Ling, who was waiting on the side, saw her sad face and asked in a low voice, "Second girl, why are you bothered?" ”
Sima Guansheng looked at Ling's mother's serious face, stepped forward and grabbed Ling's mother's hand, and said urgently: "Ling's mother, what should I do?" You know, I don't want to marry into the Feng family. ”
When Ling's mother heard this, she persuaded: "Second girl, forgive the slave woman for being blunt, this family business is really the best choice for you, and it is really the best choice in Sima Mansion." Forget that Liu Gongzi! He is frivolous by nature and is not worthy of your trust. You can find a good match, marry in the scenery, and in this way, the slave woman is worthy of the eldest lady. After a hundred years, you can also go to see the eldest lady under the Yellow Spring with peace of mind. ”
"Mother Ling, why do you even say that? I can't, and I can't, marry anyone other than Liu Gongzi. Do you know? No, I ...... I ......"
I owe him, and I can't owe him again. No, absolutely not.
She didn't know how to explain it to Ling's mother, because they didn't understand, and they didn't know that they had been responsible for Liu Liyue in their previous lives because of inaction. She could only say what she wanted to say, and secretly muttered in her heart.
Ling's mother persuaded her again bitterly, and Sima Guansheng felt that her ears were about to become calloused, and she became more and more upset.
There was a lot of joy in Sima's mansion, and even the inferior maids who were in charge of washing had joy on their faces, happy for Sima Shuangxi's arrival.
Zhong Xiaoniang naturally will not stand still, her wife can't climb the high family, she is not worthy of a "nemesis" who has a mother but does not support a mother.
Liu Yuwan's side was undecided, and a nursery rhyme began to spread in Luoyang City, and the children walked the streets and sang loudly.
Tong rumors: Guan Caosheng, his mother; Split the coffin and pierce the blind; The evil star descends, and the relatives are kept; The one who is the one who is in trouble is called Sima.
When Sima Guansheng was a child, there were indeed a lot of rumors that were unfavorable to her in the outside world, saying that she had committed Lone Star, Kemu, blind old lady Sima's eyes, and the reincarnation of a monster. But with the passage of time, coupled with the fact that Sima Mansion has been safe for more than ten years, the gossip that accompanied her birth has slowly subsided and has been forgotten by the world.
One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, after hundreds of dismantling, the outside world quickly guessed that the person mentioned in this nursery rhyme was Sima Guansheng, the person born from the broken coffin, and there was no second person in Ruoyang City except her.
In this way, the old thing is brought up again, and Sima Guansheng's special birth has been hyped up as a topic of conversation after tea and dinner.
On this day, Ling's mother passed by the market and happened to hear this nursery rhyme from the mouth of a child. She didn't have to think about it to understand the meaning, and she instantly felt worried.
She bought a few strings of sugar gourds from the vendors who were shouting beside her, caught up with the group of children singing nursery rhymes, and said to the children in an amiable and gentle voice: "Children, tell your aunt, who taught you this nursery rhyme?" ”
The children replied in unison, "There are a lot of sugar aunts." ”
"That aunt will play a game with you, as long as you promise your aunt that you won't sing this nursery rhyme in the future, these rock sugar gourds will be eaten by you."
The children didn't think about it, and immediately nodded their heads in response.
Mother Ling handed out all the rock sugar gourds she bought to the children, and watched the children run away with rock sugar gourds with a smile, she breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and walked back and forth.
But just after taking two steps, the nursery rhyme sounded again. She hurriedly looked back, and it turned out that the children were jumping, eating rock sugar gourds, and singing nursery rhymes, which were louder and more catchy than before.
"These children, I don't know how adults discipline them, they learn to deceive people at such a young age." Ling's mother was helpless, and after being annoyed, she could only sigh and leave.
When she returned to the house, she told Sima Guansheng what she had seen and heard, and after Sima Guansheng heard it, she secretly rejoiced. Whoever created the rumor or what the man's intentions were, but it wasn't a bad thing for her.
She believes that for the Feng family, who has a prominent family background, and for Liu Yuwan, who is high-minded, she will never let a person who is "full of holes" marry into the Feng Mansion. Perhaps, this nursery rhyme is the medicine to save her from fire and water.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and this nursery rhyme soon spread to Feng's mansion.
At first, it was just those people who chewed their tongues in private, adding branches and leaves, and wantonly talking about long and short.
One day, Liu's mother, who was waiting for Liu Yuwan closely, happened to hear it from the mouths of the maids, and asked sharply to understand. When she learned about this, she was stuck in her throat. After watching Liu Yuwan busy with the good things of Feng Bozhong and Sima Guansheng with great interest, she wanted to tell her several times, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed back.
Liu Yuwan is so optimistic about this family business, if she tells the truth, wouldn't she give Liu Yuwan a basin of cold water, in this way, how disappointed Liu Yuwan should be. Moreover, the master's lifelong event, she should not chew her tongue too much.
Liu Yuwan was born in a royal and aristocratic family, and her family education is very strict, so the rules of her house are stricter than those of the high-ranking nobles next to her. This Liu's mother was also afraid of causing trouble, so she retreated several times.
Seeing that the good and evil have been decided, Liu Yuwan has completed the dowry.
On this day, she was ready to visit Sima's Mansion again. One finalizes the marriage, and the other discusses the dowry with the woman. If the woman's family has no objection, she will choose an auspicious day to send the dowry to the door, and set the auspicious day for marriage as soon as possible.
Feng Bozhong entered the palace today to face the saint, so he did not go with him.
The carriage shuttled through the crowd, through the lively and bustling streets, and headed in the direction of Sima's Mansion.
The children playing on the street sang the nursery rhyme again.
Guan Caosheng, its mother; Split the coffin and pierce the blind; The evil star descends, and the relatives are kept; The one who is the one who is in trouble is called Sima.
The immature voice came into Liu Yuwan's ears, she lifted the window and looked at the children who were fighting, withdrew her head, and read earnestly to the children: "The evil star descends, and the relatives are dear; The one who is the one who is in trouble is called Sima. It's really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, and even a nursery rhyme is so incomprehensible. It's just that such a bad language should not be taught to children. ”
Mother Liu, who was sitting on the side, frowned when she heard this, looking depressed. After struggling in her heart, she still felt that she would tell Liu Yuwan what she had heard.
"County Lord, do you know who sings this nursery rhyme?"
"Guan Caosheng, its mother; The one who is the one who is in trouble is called Sima. It must be a person surnamed Sima and a person named Guancao. Liu Yuwan thought for a moment, then returned like this, without thinking too much.
Mother Liu hesitated for a long time before continuing: "County master, there are some things that the slave woman doesn't know whether to say or not? ”
"Mother Liu, you are an old man in the former mansion, and Yu Wan treats you like an elder. It doesn't hurt to say anything directly, the truth of loyalty is contrary to the ear, Yu Wan still understands, Yu Wan will listen to good words. ”
Two days ago, the slave woman heard from the maids and wives that the person who sang this nursery rhyme was ...... It is Miss Sima, the eldest daughter of Sima Mansion. At first, the slave woman was also suspicious, and deliberately went to Sima to find someone around to inquire, only to know that none of the words in the nursery rhyme were false. ”
When Liu Yuwan heard this, there was no too much expression on her face, and she said very calmly: "Ridiculous, such a strange and chaotic statement, it is not enough to believe it, it is just some idle and boring people, chasing the wind and shadows, and talking blindly." Yu Wan doesn't care about this, Mother Liu, you don't need to worry. ”
