After listening to Ah Liang say so much, Jiang Zhiming finally figured it out.

If his mother refused to comply with his request in the end and went to the Gu Mansion to discuss his marriage with Tang'er, he simply let go and begged his grandmother. Let grandmother and her old man make the decisions for herself, even if in the end, grandmother and mother have a fight, he will marry Tang'er back.

He had promised Tang'er that if he wanted to marry her back, he would definitely marry her back.

If he can't even do this, what kind of manly man is he?

Listening carefully to the movement outside, Jiang Zhiming said softly. "Ah Liang, this time I will listen to your persuasion once. Tomorrow I will go to the private house to say goodbye to my mother, and then tell my mother about my marriage to Tang'er, if my mother insists on refusing to agree to me, then I will go to ask my grandmother.

Let my grandmother and her old man make the decision for me, go to Chengjiang, and go to Gu's house to set my marriage with Tang'er. Even though my mother may end up having an unpleasant quarrel with my grandmother, I have to do it. ”

Jiang Zhiming was not for his own selfishness, which made his mother and grandmother unpleasant. He was forced to do it himself.

Tao looked down on Tang'er's merchant background, and several times thought that Tang'er was the daughter of a businessman and was not worthy of him, so he blocked his words. This time, he invited his grandmother to Chengjiang to go to Chengjiang and went to the Gu family to set up this marriage, but Tao was dissatisfied in the future and wanted to withdraw from the marriage, and it was too late at that time.

…………

After nightfall, Tao thought about the marriage of Jiang Zhiming and Gu Yutang, tossed and turned, and didn't sleep for a long time.

She knew that her son was really pretending to be the girl of the Gu family in his heart, if she should not get into this marriage again, and then the mother and son would be separated, wouldn't it be a pleasure for some people.

It's just that she really doesn't look down on the girl from the Gu family's businessman's background, a girl from a businessman's family, where can she compare to a girl from a big family? No matter how well you learn the rules and etiquette, isn't it just relying on how much stinky money you have, and jumping to the top of others?

Knowing that Brother Ming is going to inherit the title of marquis in the future, he is going to take the career of officialdom, and he is a person who is on the rise, and the wife he marries is naturally a woman who wants a big family and is virtuous and virtuous.

She personally sent someone to Punpu to inquire, that Gu family girl, virtuous and virtuous, but she has nothing to do with her, and she has no talent, how can she be worthy of her son?

Tao thought about this, the more he thought about it, the more chaotic he became, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep, so he hurriedly got up and called the maid who was keeping vigil outside to come in, lit the oil lamp in the house, and then told the maid to call his mother who was sleeping in the next ear room.

As soon as Xiang's mother heard that Tao couldn't sleep, she called her over, but before she could put on her clothes, she walked in with a dark green cloak sewn with fluff inside.

Seeing Tao leaning on the golden silk pillow behind him, his face was full of displeasure, he hurriedly rubbed his eyes to his mother, and cheered up 180,000 points of spirit to deal with Tao in front of him.

Now that Dow has something on her mind, she can't hit the muzzle of the gun.

took the little girl's brewed Biluochun, and handed it to his mother to the small table next to Tao.

"In the middle of the night, I don't know what the wife ordered the maid to call the old slave to do, could it be that there is something important to tell the old slave?"

Xiang's mother's face was full of calmness, but Tao didn't see it at all, picked up the teacup on the small table, took a sip lightly, and put it on the small table.

"Mom, I called you over to ask my brother what direction he was going when he went out? Did he go back to the Hou Mansion, or did he go to his grandfather's house?" Tao put his hand on his forehead, looked at his mother who looked calm in front of him, and said lightly.

Xiang's mother turned around in her mind, and when she knew that her brother was leaving the house, the mother-in-law on duty in the concierge came to report to her, saying that her brother had not returned to the Hou Mansion, and looked at the carriage moving forward, as if he was going to the Tao Mansion on Danyang Street.

Xiang's mother thought that his wife had instructed his brother to go to Taofu to see the old lady, but she didn't expect his wife to know about it.

So what did my brother do in Tao Mansion for no reason, could it be that he went to ask Mrs. Tao to make the decision about the marriage between my brother and the three girls of the Gu family?

Thinking like this in his mother's heart, he hurriedly wanted to clear up his own involvement, so he said.

"Madam, I heard that the mother-in-law who was waiting for the porter came to report that when my brother left the house, he saw the appearance of the carriage moving forward, and he went to Tao Mansion. The old slave thought that his wife had instructed his brother to go to Taofu to see the old lady, but he didn't think that his wife didn't know. ”

Xiang Mother said a few words, and pushed the reason why Tao didn't know about this to the mother-in-law who was waiting in the porter.

When Dow heard this, he did not react unexpectedly, but said.

"From the time he left the house, I guessed that after he left the house, there was a chance that he would go to the Tao Mansion and beg his grandfather. His grandfather felt sorry for him, and he also told his grandfather that he liked the girl from the Gu family, and if his grandfather decided his marriage, it would be useless to say what I wanted to say. ”

"What does the lady want?" Xiang Mom looked at the swaying Tao in front of her and hurriedly asked.

After all, these things are the marriage of the master's own family, even if Xiang Mother is a dowry brought by Tao from her in-law's family, knowing her brother's marriage, she can't interject half a sentence.

Tao picked up the teacup on the small table again, drank it all in one gulp, and then said, "Mom, you can go to Tao's Mansion tomorrow!" Go and find out the tone of the old lady and the old lady, listen to what their 20,000 old people think about it, and know what Brother Ming said to the two of them. ”

Xiang Mother gave instructions, and immediately called the little maid who was waiting into the house, and after grooming Tao again, he waited for Tao to fall asleep.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Xiang took a few maids who were waiting for him to his mother and went to Taofu.

At noon, when Tao was having lunch in the house, Xiang's mother came back in a hurry with the little maid, and before she had time to freshen up, she got the news from her mother and immediately came to Tao's house.

Dow sat on a high chair and used the lunch brought by the small kitchen, which was a few simple side dishes, and there was no meat.

After the kitchen lady took leave, the maids who were waiting at the bottom did not dare to make braised pork, for fear that the cooking would not match Tao's taste, so they instructed the cooks to make a few refreshing side dishes.

Xiang's mother stood beside Tao, and in a voice that only Tao's could hear, she talked about Jiang Zhiming's many matters in Tao's past last night.

"Madam, the old lady has had nightmares these days, and she can't sleep all day and night, and yesterday evening Master Tao took the old lady and the old lady to the city god temple outside the city to offer incense. When my brother went yesterday, he didn't see the old lady, but Mrs. Tao, and it was Mrs. Tao who received her brother. ”

"Did Brother Ming'er tell my sister-in-law anything?" Dow used the gruel in a bowl with a few plates of pickles next to it.

"Madam, my brother and Mrs. Tao don't have much communication, where will I say anything to her? When my brother went yesterday, Mrs. Tao asked my brother what she was doing when she came to see the old lady, but my brother didn't say anything, so Mrs. Tao didn't want to continue asking. ”

Saying to his mother, all the interesting maids in the house withdrew, leaving only a personal attendant to help Bu Cai by Tao's side.

"Since my brother didn't see the old lady yesterday, I guess I will still go today, have you ever seen my brother when you passed today?"

Tao can't rest assured that his son is not at ease after all, his son has always been a man of the same word, where is he willing to listen to his own words?

I didn't see it yesterday evening, and I thought I would go back today.

Xiang mother and Tao thought the same in their hearts, she also thought that Brother Zhiming would go again today, but she waited for Tao Mansion to have lunch early in the morning, and Brother didn't come.

Presumably he won't come over, and his brother can't ask the old lady of the Tao family, so he must go to the Hou Mansion to ask the old lady.

Asking the old lady of the Tao family to be the master and asking the old lady in the house to be the master are the same.

Once the old lady went to the Gu family to decide on the marriage between her brother and the third girl of the Gu family, the wife refused, because the old lady was an elder, and she was not good enough to say more.

Xiang's mother didn't dare to deceive Tao, and said honestly: "Madam, my brother didn't go to Tao's mansion today. The old slave originally thought that my brother didn't see the old lady yesterday, and I must have to go for a walk today, but I waited until the old lady and the old lady came back, and the Tao Mansion had lunch, and my brother didn't come over.

The old slave thought that his brother would not come, so he didn't continue to wait for his brother and rushed back to report to his wife. ”

Tao knew that although Xiang's mother was good with Brother Zhiming, he helped him everywhere. But after all, she followed her to marry to the Hou Mansion, and she would not hide these things from herself, so today Brother Ming must not have gone to Tao Mansion, but if Brother Ming did not go to the Hou Mansion, then where would he go?

Tao thought left and right in his heart, and finally only came up with one possibility, that is, Brother Zhiming returned to the Hou Mansion and went to ask the old lady.

Knowing that Brother Ming was brought up by the old lady, if his marriage was handed over to the old lady and passed on, there would be no second words.

Could it be that Brother Ming really went to ask the old lady?

If you know that Brother Ming really went to beg the old lady, then the maids she placed next to the old lady will come back to report to her, why haven't they come here now? Could it be that I was wrong?

When Tao was thinking in his mind, he heard Xiang Mother whisper back, "Madam, the jade girl who was waiting next to the old lady came over, saying that she came to deliver the news to the old lady, and the person has already arrived outside the hospital, I don't know if the wife will see it or not?"

Jasper waiting by the old lady's side? That's the old lady's maid, but not the one she installed?

Jasper came over at this juncture, could it be that she responded to what she thought in her heart to convey the meaning of the old lady?

Dow thought about it for a long time, but after all, he didn't come up with anything. Then he instructed his mother to invite Jasper in.

Biyu is the first-class maid who serves by Mrs. Feng's side, and she is Mrs. Feng's confidant, who has been walking around the house to convey her meaning for the old lady.

It's just that he rarely comes to the Tao Courtyard, so Tao is not familiar with this jasper girl.

After greeting Tao according to the rules, Tao called the maid to move a stool and chair out, and let Biyu sit on it and answer.

"Madam, the old lady said that the New Year is approaching, and it is boring for you to live alone in a private house. The old lady and the old man have already discussed, saying that they want to invite you back, first, it is a trivial matter in the abbot's mansion, and second, after the aunts around the old man are sick, there is no one around the master to serve, and the wife needs to go back to serve. ”

Dow heard Jasper say this, and immediately burst out laughing.

I'm afraid that it is not the old lady who will let me go back to the Hou Mansion, but Jiang Haiyang.

I have long heard that Feng Shuiling and those maids in the study are jealous, and they have fallen ill. After Feng Shuiling fell ill, there was no wife in the house to take care of affairs, and now he invited her back, I'm afraid that Jiang Haiyang wants to take the opportunity to take care of trivial matters and get back together with himself, right?

Tao thought so in his heart, but he didn't show half of it, and replied lightly, "Miss Jasper, I know, you went back to the old lady and said that I would return home in a few days." These days, the old lady has suffered with the master. ”

Suffer?

Jasper thought she had misheard, but after thinking about it carefully, she didn't hear it wrong. Why does the wife say that she suffers with the master, could it be that there is some ulterior secret here?

Biyu didn't dare to think about it anymore, after all, these things are the business of the masters, and she is a maid who spreads words to people, so it's better not to get involved in these disputes.

"Since the news has reached my wife's ears, there are still things waiting for me to take care of in the house, so the slave and maid will leave first, so as not to disturb my wife's meal." As soon as the words fell, Jasper bowed to Tao again and withdrew.

After seeing that Biyu was taken out by the little maid who was waiting in the courtyard, Xiang Mother returned to Tao's side and said lightly: "Why should Mrs. say those words, Biyu's girl is a junior person, looking at her appearance, I'm afraid I can't hear what Mrs. wants to express." ”

"The jasper girl doesn't understand, but the old lady always understands. When she returns, she will bring these words to the old lady. As soon as the old lady heard this, she naturally understood what I meant. ”

Tao said, lowering her head and glancing at the food on the table, she was still thinking about Fang Cai's affairs, where to eat, and then ordered the maid to remove the food on the table.

"Old lady, the old slave guessed from what the jade girl said just now that my brother should not have begged the old lady yet. If the brother went to beg the old lady, then the jade girl came over, it didn't mean that the house was complicated, and he wanted to ask the wife to go back.

Rather, it should be said that the old lady has something important to discuss with her wife, and has come to invite you back. ”

After the little maid removed all the food from the table, she asked her mother to fetch a plate of peeled oranges.

He handed the orange to the high table in front of Dow and glanced out at his mother.

"Since my brother is not in a hurry to go back to the Hou Mansion to beg the old lady, then he will definitely come to Mrs. again. The wife just had to wait patiently. ”
