Chapter 172: Mountain Rain is Coming (4)
Gu Yutang didn't think much about it, and took Da Han and prepared to go to the front hall to find out, where is the third son of the Fan family, and what did he come to do?
When he came to the front hall, Gu Yutang did not rush to go in first, but hid behind the screen, planning to peep for a long time.
In the front hall, Feng Lao'an and Lin sat on the high seat, while Aunt Hong and Liang sat on Lin's side, and opposite sat a man who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with long black hair tied up with a jade crown, his eyes looked very clear, and he answered everyone with a light smile.
The man wore a blue robe, embroidered with bamboo leaves and lotus hearts with dark gold, and embroidered a circle of auspicious clouds with dark gold on the cuffs, and a lotus jade pendant with a full head of water on his waist.
Although he was born very handsome, he revealed a sick breath that made people feel that he might die soon.
Could it be that the man is Fan Siping?
Although she had seen Fan Siping in her previous life, she had only seen him from afar, and now after such a long time, how could she remember what he looked like? But she still had a vague impression that Fan Siping was a tuberculosis ghost, his face was pale and abnormal, and there was no blood.
She glanced at the man again, but his face was not pale, but unusually ruddy, where did he look like a tuberculosis ghost?
What is this all about? Could it be that the man was not Fan Siping. Gu Yutang needed to confirm it, so he walked out from behind the screen, and after saluting Feng Lao'an and the Lin family according to the rules, he gave Liang and Aunt Hong a blessing, and then sat down next to Liang.
glanced at the so-called Fan Siping on the other side, and asked Lin, "Grandmother, is it Brother Siping on the other side?" Why doesn't Tang'er look like it, Tang'er has seen Brother Siping before, but he doesn't look like this. ”
The man on the opposite side heard Gu Yutang say this, and the expression on his face had changed slightly, but the movements were so small that ordinary people couldn't see it at all. Gu Yutang's eyesight is better than theirs, so he naturally saw the clue, and the man's reaction just now was clearly a weak heart?
Since he keeps saying that he is Fan Siping, why is he still weak-hearted? What is this all about? Looks like she's going to have to try again.
Lin looked at Fan Siping opposite, with a smile on his face, and seemed to be very satisfied with Fan Siping, then turned his head and said to Gu Yutang: "Sister Tang, that is Fan Siping, the third son of the Jinping Fan family, you have met a few times when you were a child, but at that time, your brother Siping was sick, and now that he is sick, you naturally feel different." ”
Hearing what the Lin family said, Feng Lao'an also said, "Sister Tang, your brother Siping is amazing." is young, he is the top three Jinshi on the list, and he is already a famous person, and he just came back from the capital a few days ago, and he came out to enjoy the mountains and rivers. ”
When Gu Yutang heard this, he carefully looked at Fan Siping, but how do you look at it, Fan Siping smoked a lot of cigarettes in his early years, and he had tuberculosis, but he can't quit smoking, once a person is infected, don't want to quit in this life. can see Fan Siping's appearance now, except for the sickly look on his face, the rest of the place looks normal, there is nothing wrong, and it doesn't look like it's pretending.
Seeing Gu Yutang staring at himself for a long time, Fan Siping finally couldn't help it, so he said, "Miss Gu, is there something on Siping's face?" What are you doing staring at Siping for so long? ”
Hearing Fan Siping say this, Gu Yutang hurriedly turned around, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Fan Gongzi, Yutang is not looking at you, but seeing that the bamboo embroidery on Fan Gongzi's clothes is different from others, I will take a few more looks, please don't misunderstand Fan Gongzi." ”
When Fan Siping heard this, he secretly said in his heart, this Gu girl, is really interesting, Fang just stared at herself for a long time, but now she said that she was looking at the embroidery method of bamboo, and the embroidery method of this bamboo is different from the side, can you stare at it for most of the day? And from her words and deeds, she heard the meaning of temptation, this Gu girl, it's not simple!
"What the girl said is true, the clothes on Siping's body are hand-sewn by his mother, Siping has been wearing his mother's clothes in Beijing for the years, and his mother's embroidery method is passed down from the ancestors, if Miss Gu is really curious, I will change my clothes later, and I will tell the little girl to send it to you!"
Fan Siping said, with a faint smile on his face, didn't you say that you were curious about the embroidery method of this bamboo? I'll have someone send it to you later.
When Gu Yutang heard this, he smiled back with difficulty. This Fan Siping, who is really going to do things, is just looking for an excuse, he also knows that he is an excuse, and he asked people to send her clothes to study the embroidery of bamboo for her, what is going on?
Feng Lao'an and the Lin family were both in the house, and she couldn't refuse him in public, so she could only stubbornly say, "Okay! I thought that the Fan family's son-in-law still refused, but now that the Fan family's son-in-law has taken the initiative to speak, then Tang'er will study it well, but Fan Gongzi said that the embroidery method is ancestral, if Tang'er is allowed to learn it secretly, how can this be done?"
"It's okay, it's okay, this embroidery method is going to be lost, now since Miss Gu wants to learn, it is to help my mother inherit this embroidery method, if my mother knows, maybe how happy she should be? Miss Gu, did you say?" Fan Siping said, looking at Gu Yutang's unsuccessful plan, and laughed unconsciously.
This Fan Siping is really going to do something. As soon as he said it, he came to pick up the two, three, four, five, six, and helped their family inherit the embroidery method, where did she have so much spare work? If Jiang Zhiming's bastard boy was present, he might not be able to say a word about Fan Siping in three or two sentences.
Lin looked at Gu Yutang and Fan Siping and chatted for a long time, looking very close to each other, so he said to Gu Yutang: "Sister Tang, your brother Siping wants to understand the customs of Pengpu, and wants to live in our house for a few days, you can take him with you these days and go out for a walk!" ”
Gu Yutang was about to refuse, but Feng Lao'an said again, "Sister Tang, it's not very peaceful in the city these days, if you go out with the son of the Fan family, you must bring a few more small servants, and then bring a few strong and strong women with the car, if there is any accident, quickly call the mother-in-law to come back and tell us." ”
As soon as Feng Lao'an said this, even if Gu Yutang wanted to refuse, there was no way. Everyone said that when they went out, they would bring a few little women, if they refused again, it would be uninteresting, Gu Yutang sighed in his heart, and said: "Tang'er knows, these days Tang'er will take Fan Gongzi around the city." ”
After Gu Yutang and Fan Siping left, Hongmei took Feng Lao'an to the back room, and Liang dared to ask: "Mother, what does Jinping Fan's family mean?" The three wives of the Fan family all divorced their sister-in-law, and they called the third son of the Fan family to do something? Is it possible that I don't want to get married again, and I want to rely on our family? ”
Lin glanced at the backs of Fan Siping and Gu Yutang who were drifting apart outside, and said lightly.
"The marriage was withdrawn by the third wife of the Fan family, but the third wife of the Fan family is not the eldest wife who is the master of the house, I look at the third son of the Fan family, I am afraid that he has another idea. The Jinping Fan family has declined, and the whole family is crowded in the small Kuige Lane, but I just looked at the conversation of the third son of the Fan family, not like a person from a declining family. ”
Liang also saw that Lin liked Fan Siping very much, so he reminded, "Mother, I want to say ugly things in front." Sister Tang is born to her sister-in-law, and she grew up beside her since she was a child, her marriage, after all, has to ask the sister-in-law, the mother can not go her own way, but insert a kick, and then it will make the sister-in-law and the Dingwu Hou family unhappy. ”
"I don't need to say it, I know that. Although the Dingwu Marquis Mansion is good, the door is too high, and I am worried that Tang'er will marry and not enjoy a few good days, so I will ask her mother-in-law to torture her to the point that she is not formed. Although the Jinping Fan family is in decline, Tang'er is low-marrying in the past, but Tang'er is able to raise her head in her mother's house when she marries in the past, and with our Gu family supporting her, she is not afraid. ”
Since the Lin family met Fan Siping in person, they had another idea in their hearts.
It is rumored outside that Fan Siping, the third son of the Fan family, is a tuberculosis ghost who will not die soon, but now she looks at Fan Siping, she doesn't look like a sick person, let alone have a short life.
Fan Siping talks extraordinary, his character is also good, although his family background is a little worse, but fortunately, he is motivated and famous, after Sister Tang marries, he will not worry about having a good life with him.
The Liang family knew that the Lin family had changed their minds, so he said: "Mother, the Jinping Fan family is a declining family, and there is no separation, and the money used is all the money in the gongzhong, and the girls and sons of their family have to pay the silver from the public when they marry and marry their daughters-in-law, and the monthly expenses of the girls' sons are also pitiful. ”
Immediately afterwards, Liang said: "Fan Siping was born in the third room of the Fan family, and he didn't occupy the eldest or the heir, even if he has fame, it doesn't matter, I'm afraid that he will have to work hard for more than ten years, is this to let Tang'er marry and suffer?" ”
Ordinary people have obtained fame, if they have nothing to do with it in the imperial court, they can only work hard step by step and stay up for more than ten years before they can improve. Although Jinping's Fan family is a family, it is far away in Yunnan, and it is a declining family, and it has nothing to do with it in the imperial court, even if Fan Siping has fame, he can only endure hard.
Dingwu Hou's Mansion is different, Dingwu Hou's wife Tao is the daughter of Tao Qian, the governor of Yunnan, and her mother was also born in everyone, even if Gu Yutang is married, if you want to be embarrassed, it must not be too much, stay up for a while, and Jiang Zhiming has a child, isn't it bitter?
And Jiang Zhiming is the son of the Hou Mansion, the heir of the Hou Mansion in the future, compared to Fan Siping, the family background is not much better.
Besides, which daughter-in-law is not boiled out step by step, no matter how good you are, as long as your mother-in-law thinks it is not good, she can pick a bone in the egg and find out the fault for you. If your mother-in-law treats you well, you don't do anything, but serve you with good food and drink.
That's how the Lin family treated her back then, but after all these years, she no longer cares.
"That's it, Sister Tang's marriage, let's wait until we return to Chengjiang and discuss it with the Yang family!" Lin said, didn't look at Liang again, and left the front hall with the help of Mama Liang.
