Chapter 223: Marriage Proposal (2)
Gu Mansion, Hall House.
As soon as Lin had eaten, he always felt that the house was cold and gloomy, so he called the mother-in-law on the stove to come to the house and light two stoves. Because the stove was burning silver charcoal without fire smoke, Lin dared to sit on the soft couch beside him, and put his two hands beside the fire to bake.
Mama Liang saw that Lin was so cold that she shivered, and hurriedly called the maid into the inner room, took out Lin's silver fox fur and draped it on Lin's shoulder.
"The old lady has been afraid of the cold for so many years, and now it is getting heavier and heavier. In the past, it was in the winter, the old lady only had a cold disease, but now before the winter, the old lady has a cold disease, what can I do in the future?"
Lin rubbed his hands, took the ginger tea handed over by Mama Liang, lifted the tea lid and smelled it, and the spicy smell of ginger came out.
"I'm guilty of a cold disease, don't tell the third girl. She's okay at her age, and she can't stand it, and if I talk to her, it's just to add to the troubles. With that, Lin gently drank half a sip of ginger tea.
The old slave knew that the old lady felt sorry for the third girl and didn't let her know about these things. But if you have a cold disease, you always have to deliver the news back to Chengjiang, rather than the eldest lady and the third girl mentioned it at that time, it is better for you to personally tell her, let's find a way together, we will always find a way to cure the old lady of your cold disease. Mama Liang said, and instructed the maid to invite Dr. Qin over.
"Tang'er is still young, what can he come up with? Just don't let her worry about me. ”
As soon as Lin's voice fell, he remembered that a few days ago, the Liang family called someone to hand over the news, saying that Gu Yucheng had already decided to be a girl from the Hai family in Sichuan, and she was about to get married soon, so let the Lin family take Gu Yutang back quickly, and follow the lively and lively together.
Putting the teacup in his hand on the high table on the side, Lin instructed the little maid to move the stove a little closer, and said, "How is the girl from the Hai family in Sichuan giving birth?" Have you ever seen one? The Liang family is not a good-natured mother-in-law, and the status of the Hai family is not high, so I don't know if this Hai family girl can survive in the mansion?"
"Old lady, just relax! The portrait of the girl of the Hai family is what I have seen in person, although her appearance is not as good as that of the girl of the Lin family in Fujian, but she is also born well, and she is a blessed appearance. And the girl of the Hai family is still virtuous and generous, and the second wife will not be too embarrassed by her. Mama Liang said, and called the girl in the small kitchen to send a plate of cherries to fry.
Cherry fried is a hospitality dim sum in the small kitchen in the Lin family's courtyard, and Chef Zheng, who made dim sum, originally opened a tavern, and later transferred the tavern to others, so she entered the Gu Mansion and became the chef in the kitchen.
Lin glanced at the few pieces of cherry fried in the small plate, although he wanted to eat a few pieces, but he had just eaten dinner, if he continued to eat some more, he was afraid that he would not be able to restrain so much, and all of them would accumulate in his stomach.
"The three girls love to eat fried cherries, so call someone to send some over!" Lin leaned on the soft couch and commanded Mama Liang on the side.
After Mama Liang called the maid to go to the small kitchen to fry cherries, she went back to the hall and talked about the marriage of Gu Yurong, the fourth girl of the Gu family.
"Old lady, the second wife of the fourth girl's marriage is Liang Nan of the Liang Wangfu in Jinling, but the fourth girl takes a fancy to Lin Xu's son of the Zhengding Lin family! For this matter, the four girls cried, made trouble, and hanged themselves in the house, making the second wife and the second master angry! ”
Lin snorted coldly, and then said: "For the sake of a man, he cried, made trouble, and hanged himself at home, making such a scene, this is the good girl of the second daughter-in-law!" What's wrong with Liang Nan, he just fell in love with Xu Er in his hometown! ”
Seeing that the anger on Lin's face was even stronger, Mama Liang immediately persuaded a few words, "Old lady, you are old and angry. These are the second wife's own affairs, and it's not our three girls, so we don't have to worry about it so much! Let them make trouble on their own! ”
"How can I leave this alone? The fourth girl looked down on Xu Er of our Lin family, Xu Er is a good boy, she is dedicated to her career, and she finally won the Jinshi, and now it is the time to be reused. If it was delayed by the girl of the fourth girl, how could it be done? Xu Er's mother can't hold her head and hit her to death, so it's strange. ”
As soon as Lin finished the previous sentence, he continued in the next sentence.
"Ask someone to write a letter back to Chengjiang, and talk to the Liang family about it, the children's marriage can't be forced, if the four girls are forced to be anxious and go to Xu Er to elope, it will ruin Xu Er's future!"
Seeing that Lin was in a hurry, Mama Liang immediately shouted to the porter to laugh to death, and after handing over a few words, she asked the little maid to deliver a message back to Chengjiang.
The anger on Lin's face was not gone, even Mama Liang didn't dare to touch Lin's moldy head easily, but she still persuaded her.
"The old lady should be worried about the marriage of the third girl, not the fourth girl. Now that the eldest lady and the eldest master are not by the side of the three girls, the only one who can help the three girls make the decisions is the old lady. ”
Mama Liang mentioned Gu Yutang in the hope that when the Lin family heard Gu Yutang's name, they could transfer their thoughts to her.
Sure enough, when the Lin family heard Gu Yutang's name, his face faded, and the anger on his face dissipated little by little, "The third girl is a pitiful, I always love her more!" ”
In the east chamber, Gu Yutang sat on the boxwood high chair, looking at Jiang Zhiming, who was looking at her opposite, Jiang Zhiming, the stupid boy, didn't say a word since he entered her inner room, he looked at himself in a daze, and smirked at himself from time to time.
"Jiang Zhiming, have you laughed enough? Is there a flower or something on my face, is it worth your laugh for half an hour? ”
Gu Yutang looked at Jiang Zhiming, although he was a little impatient in his heart, he still instructed the maid to bring new tea and pour it on the high table next to Jiang Zhiming.
"Tang'er, I haven't seen you for a few days, can't I look at you a few more times? I am your future husband, and I will be the one who will look at you for a lifetime, and you will start to dislike it, and I am afraid that there will be times when you dislike it in the future! ”
Jiang Zhiming stared at Gu Yutang tightly with his two eyes and said lightly.
"Jiang Zhiming, I haven't seen you for a few days, your oily and smooth kung fu is getting longer! I heard that at the temple fair in Puji Temple that day, you were a hero, and you became a hero who saw injustice on the road and drew a sword to help you, but what did you do in those hours or two?"
Gu Yutang asked someone to call Jiang Zhiming to come over, just to find out what Jiang Zhiming's kid was going to do at the temple fair that day.
Jiang Zhiming was slightly stunned, he didn't think that Gu Yutang was still holding on to this matter, should he tell the truth, or should he hide it from her?
That night, in order to catch a thief, he and a man bumped into a pigeon on the street, if Gu Yutang knew that he and a man had done such an intimate action, with Gu Yutang's temperament of eating people and not spitting out bones, he would have to peel him a layer of skin!
Jiang Zhiming thought about it again in his heart, and finally decided to hide it from her, "Tang'er, I met an acquaintance on the street at the temple fair that day, and we had a drink together, and after the wine woke up, I went to the restaurant to find stones." ”
Gu Yutang was a little unconvinced, and asked again, "What acquaintance?" What is the surname and where does the family live? Is there a match?"
Fortunately, he had already made up a rhetoric in his mind, that is, no matter how tricky Gu Yutang asked, he could answer it without leaking.
"Tang'er, that person's name is Qi Ming, he is my classmate in the academy, he lives in Chengjiang Mansion, and he is not married. If Tang'er wants to help him introduce a daughter-in-law, it will save him from always beating a single! ”
Jiang Zhiming said with a hippie smile, which added a little doubt to Gu Yutang's heart.
Jiang Zhiming's stupid boy usually can't even remember the road, how can he remember that person's residence and whether he is married?
Besides, who would ask someone if they are married for no reason?
So she dared to assert that these words must have been made up by Jiang Zhiming, a stupid boy, and something unspeakable must have happened to him that day, so he made up lies to deceive her.
Gu Yutang thought like this, with a slight sneer on his face, and asked rhetorically.
"Jiang Zhiming, didn't you say that you can't even remember a road on weekdays? How do you remember people's residences and know whether they are married? Didn't you deliberately make up these words to deceive me?"
Jiang Zhiming was slightly stunned by Gu Yutang's question, Gu Yutang, a stupid girl, is getting smarter and smarter, and she actually discovered the flaw in her words! It seems that he is going to be planted in her hands for the rest of his life.
