Chapter 81: The Invitation
"Mother didn't know, the original Zuodian historian wanted to marry the eldest girl of their family, the old lady of the Zuodian historian exchanged tokens with the old lady of their family, and also wrote a marriage book, but the marriage book was ambiguous, only said that it was to marry the girl of their family, not to say whether it was the eldest girl or the second girl, and Xiao Tan let the second girl marry the eldest girl to the Zuo family." Cai said, and ordered the little maid to pour her new tea.
"The eldest girl of the Cheng family is a poor person, and the Cheng County Ling family is in the old lady's generation, and our family is also a relative. All these years have passed, and the two of us have not interacted, and this relationship has faded. Feng Lao'an glanced at the sunset shining in from the window, and said lightly.
When the second room was not separated from the long house, relying on the connections of the long house, he also got to know many powerful squires of Pengpu and became one of the best families in Pengpu.
After separating from the long house, the second room lost the backer of the long house, and life was very difficult a few years ago.
In the early years, the people who did business with the second room did business with the second room because of the face of the long house.
After the separation, those people would rather go all the way to Chengjiang to do business with the long house than do business with their second room in Pengpu.
If it weren't for the sixth master of the Gu family who picked up the burden of the second room, and with the relationship between the Cai family's mother's side, coupled with the Feng family's manpower and material resources in Pengpu, the second room would have prospered by doing the medicinal herb business.
It's just that today's second room has gradually decayed, because there are more people in the Pengpu business, and the medicinal herb business at the beginning is getting worse and worse year by year, and the second room has also changed careers and started a salt business with Changfang, and entered the shares of Changfang Shipping Yiqing Ji, and Changfang started a shipping business.
The annual share from the public middle school is also 30,000 taels of silver, but since the sixth master of the Gu family became obsessed with gambling stones, the silver taels smashed on the gambling stones every year are also tens of thousands of taels.
Suddenly, Cai Shi took Liang's hand beside him, and said with a smile: "Two days ago, when I went to Chengxian Ling's house, I inadvertently mentioned the second sister-in-law, Xiao Tan said that he wanted to meet the sister-in-law, saying that when he went to the City God Temple that day, he wanted to invite the second sister-in-law to go with him, I don't know if the second aunt is willing to enjoy the light and accompany us idlers to the temple to burn incense?"
Liang hurriedly pulled away Cai's hand holding her, opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but in the end he didn't say a word.
Cai saw that Liang looked like he wanted to talk and stopped, guessing that she might not be willing to accompany them, so he wanted to come out and play a round, and said with a smile: "Since the second sister-in-law has something to do, then I will order someone to go back to Mrs. Tan, and on the day I go to the City God Temple to burn incense, I will accompany Mrs. Tan." ”
Liang looked at Cai's for a long time, Liang was reluctant to deal with these squires and county Ling's ladies and misses, because she knew that these people were the most difficult, once they were stained, they would hand over the stickers and invite you to come to the house to get together, because they were all small officials and family members with sesame mung beans, Liang didn't go, and it wasn't if he didn't go.
At this time, Gu Yutang smiled at the Liang family and said, "Grandmother has been sick these days, the second aunt might as well go to the temple with the sixth aunt to burn incense and pray for grandmother, hoping that the Bodhisattva can bless grandmother to recover as soon as possible." ”
was reminded by Gu Yutang like this, and Liang was shocked to realize that the reason why Lin was so seriously ill this time was completely because of what he said, and Lin also closed the door many times and did not see him.
If he could go to the temple in person to burn incense and pray for Lin's blessings, maybe Lin could forgive himself, so he followed him back to Pengpu.
But before that, he had to explain his intention to Feng Laoan, and invited Feng Laoan to persuade the Lin family, so that the Lin family was willing to follow him back to Chengjiang.
Liang sat on the bamboo chair and approached Feng Lao'an for a few minutes before he said, "Second uncle, my mother has been staying in the house to recuperate these days, so you have to worry about it." If the second uncle and aunt are free, they will go to the hall for us to persuade our mother and let our mother follow us back to Chengjiang! ”
Feng Lao'an looked at the Liang family, picked up a string of Xingyue Bodhi seeds in his hand at some point, and began to stir it, "Pengpu is in the poor countryside, where is there a good doctor?" It's not a way to let your mother stay in the house to recuperate, I also discussed with your sixth brother and sister two days ago, and after a few days your mother's condition stabilizes, I will personally send her back to Chengjiang. On the way back, with me with her, the two old ladies and us can talk. ”
Hearing Feng Lao'an say this, the joy in Liang's heart was already unconsciously imprinted on his face, since Feng Lao'an was willing to help her send Lin back to Chengjiang, it would be the best. She's also saved some trouble.
"Grandmother Feng, when will you leave? After being away from home for so long, I want to go back to see my parents. Gu Yutang's voice was a little soft, and he shouted quietly to Feng Lao'an.
Seeing Gu Yutang's cute smile, Feng Lao'an patted Gu Yutang's head and said, "Tang'er is homesick, then we should go back a little earlier." Later, I asked my grandmother to come over, and I consulted with her personally, and it was up to her to decide when she would leave. ”
"In that case, on the fifteenth day, I will accompany my six brothers and sisters to the City God Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings! There are so many bad things happening these days, I should have gone to the temple to worship, but unfortunately I haven't been able to get out. When Liang spoke, he deliberately glanced at Cai beside him.
Seeing that Liang was willing to agree, Cai's was also overjoyed, grabbed Liang's hand, and said: "Actually, that day, Mrs. Tan also made an appointment with the eldest son of the rich man Zheng in the west of the city, and the eldest son of their family has passed twenty, and he has not yet talked about a daughter-in-law. It's just that the eldest girl of the family is shy, so she specially invited us to accompany her, I was timid, and asked the second sister-in-law to accompany me. ”
Turning such a big turn, just to let the eldest son of Zheng's rich family and the eldest girl of the family look at each other, if both of them look at each other, it's fine, if both of them don't look down on each other, then these people who go to foil will go to this experience in vain.
"This Mrs. Tan is really favoritism! The second and third girls born to themselves promised the son of the eunuch family as their wife, and replaced it with the eldest girl who was not their own, so they casually promised the son of a rich man as his wife. If this matter spreads, I am afraid that Mrs. Tan will become the laughing stock of every Pengpu family. Liang didn't look at Cai, stood up and said.
If the girl who treats the first lady's own child harshly, if it spreads, I am afraid that the reputation of the family will also be affected.
"The second sister-in-law must not publicize this matter, Mrs. Tan has repeatedly ordered us not to spread it, even on the day when the eldest girl of his family gets married, she must marry through the back door, in order not to let the neighbors know that the eldest girl is married to the Zheng family in the west of the city." Cai Shi hurriedly explained.
"Sixth brother and sister, I naturally know the stakes. I just pity that big girl, I wonder if she knows that she is going to marry someone like that?" Liang said, sighing for the eldest girl who started a family.
"I thought that the eldest girl in the family should know, if she didn't know, she would marry blindly and dumbly, if she made trouble in her in-law's house, I was afraid that Tan's face would not be able to hang it. A child without a mother is pitiful. Cai replied.
