Chapter 41: Departure
"You bastard boy, that old lady poured you some kind of ecstasy soup to make you look like this, and she didn't even want to listen to what her own mother said." Tao was angry for a while, and slapped the high table next to him, shaking the tea cup on the high table and jumping.
"My own son, why can't I make the decision about marriage, let that old lady decide. Anyway, I have already sent the dowry to Lijiang, and I will not return the dowry. Whether you marry or not, Lord Mu will marry into our family sooner or later. Tao said, his face was blue and red for a while, obviously angry.
"Mrs. Dingwuhou, I still have to advise you. The children and grandchildren here have their own children and grandchildren, you don't care so much, since you know that your brother has what he likes, then don't force him to marry someone he doesn't like. Twisted melons are not sweet, you should understand this truth. Lin had been sitting next to him, looking at the farce in front of him, and finally persuaded him.
Seeing that the Lin family persuaded him, Feng Lao'an also persuaded him: "Brother Ming is older, he knows what he wants and what he doesn't want, you have been in charge of the Hou Mansion for so many years, and you are tired, it's time to rest." ”
"Lao Anren, Mrs. Lin, don't persuade me, if you want to persuade me, help me persuade Brother Zhiming! Mu Wangfu is as high as the family, Mu Xiaojun is married, and our family is already high. This marriage is decided, I will go back to Kunming first, and you will come back after you have figured it out for me. Tao turned his head and glanced at Jiang Zhiming behind him, and said this coldly.
Inside the West Chamber, Gu Yutang looked at the commotion in Feng Lao'an's hall, and thought that something had happened, so he asked Ah Hua to inquire and found out that it was Jiang Zhiming's mother who came.
She hid in the west chamber and saw Tao walking out of the hall angrily, it didn't look like a person to be messed with, I really didn't know what Jiang Zhiming's stinky boy said to his mother, and he left Tao angrily.
After seeing that Tao was gone, Gu Yutang sneaked to the hall house, where Feng Lao'an and Lin were talking, Jiang Zhiming sat and listened, and he didn't seem to be affected by Tao's words, he still had a faint smile on his face.
"Brother Zhiming, your mother is doing this for your own good. Lijiang's Mu Wangfu is a hereditary title, the ancestor is still one of the heroes who accompanied Emperor Taizu to lay down the Ming Dynasty, and the Mu Xiaojun Lord is the best lady, you married the Mu Xiaojun Lord, and it will also be of some help to your Dingwu Hou Mansion! Feng Lao'an persuaded like this.
If she were to be the Tao family, she would definitely choose a girl for Jiang Zhiming, and she would definitely choose from the Lu Liang Yang family, the Ruan family, the Shiping Fang family, the Jinping Fan family, these old families in Yunnan, these are all famous families with hundreds of years of history.
Compared with Muwangfu in Lijiang, the children of these families are either officials in Beijing, or there are many scholars in the family, or they are married to other families. If you form a family with such a family, I am afraid that the status of the Marquis of Dingwu Mansion in the Yunnan family will also go to the next level!
"Second grandma, I don't want to marry Lord Mu. I don't like her, I only want to marry what I like. I don't look down on someone, no matter how good others say, I won't marry her. Jiang Zhiming looked at Feng Lao'an and said slowly.
"Since you don't want to marry, then we won't force you. It's just your life's work, and your mother and grandmother need to be the masters, where can we help you do this. "Feng Lao'an is not Jiang Zhiming's grandmother after all, Jiang Zhiming's boss not only has a father and mother, but also a grandmother and grandfather, where can she be the master of his life's affairs.
"Two days ago, I had someone bring a message to your grandmother, and your grandmother said that she would send someone to pick you up in the next two days. Relax! Your grandmother doesn't agree, so what if your mother goes to give a dowry? She was going to return the dowry after all. As soon as Feng Lao'an's words fell, a girl dressed in light green clothes and carrying a silver hairpin inlaid with pearls came in.
Looking at her makeup, she is obviously not a little maid in the second room.
"The pearl is for Feng Lao'an, and I wish Feng Lao'an a long life." The little girl saluted Feng Lao'an according to the rules, turned around and smiled lightly at Jiang Zhiming behind her, and said, "Your Royal Highness, the old lady knows that the old lady has gone to the Mu Wangfu to make an appointment, she asked me to take you back, saying that if you don't agree to this family business, the old lady will definitely help you make the decision." ”
Jiang Zhiming heard a familiar voice and looked towards the girl in the light green clothes. Unexpectedly, the person who came turned out to be the personal maid Pearl beside his grandmother, the old lady of Dingwuhou, which made Jiang Zhiming a little surprised.
The last time he left home, he happened to meet Pearl's mother who was sick, and she asked her grandmother to take leave to go back to her hometown to take care of her, why did she come back so quickly? He also personally came down to Punpu to pick him up.
"Pearl, isn't your mother sick, and your grandmother asked you to go back to your hometown to take care of her? Why did you come back so soon?" Jiang Zhiming looked at the pearl and asked.
"The old lady was worried about His Royal Highness, and kept urging me to go back, and my mother's illness was just a little better, so the old lady took my brother home to take care of her. The old lady can't rest assured of you, so she asked me to come down and take you home. Pearl also looked at Jiang Zhiming, word by word.
As soon as the words fell, Pearl turned his head and said to Feng Lao'an, who was sitting on the high seat: "Lao Anren, thank you for taking care of His Royal Highness the son of my family during this time, the old lady asked me to bring some Ganoderma lucidum blood swallow ginseng and other supplements down, saying that it is a little thanks, I hope Lao An people will not be disgusted." ”
Feng Lao'an smiled, and then said: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, Brother Ming has also helped us a lot in the mansion during this time, and I am still a little reluctant when he leaves like this." Your old lady is blessed to have such a good son as Brother Zhiming. ”
"Lao An people Miao praised, His Royal Highness the son of my family is very naughty, it's already good if he doesn't cause trouble to Lao An, it's not to talk about helping Lao An." Pearl said, and suddenly saw Gu Yutang, who had been standing outside the house.
"What girl is this? It's like a flower, and it's beautiful. Pearl looked at Gu Yutang outside the house and asked Feng Lao'an beside him.
"She is the third girl of the Gu family in Chengjiang, and she accompanied her grandmother to come down to see me. This is her grandmother, Mrs. Lin, who was born in the Zhengding Lin family, you should have seen it. Feng Lao'an looked at the pearl and pointed to the Lin family beside him.
Pearl glanced at Lin and Gu Yutang, she seemed to have seen Lin and Gu Yutang somewhere.
After a long time, she said slowly: "Did Mrs. Lin and the third girl go to the house of Lord Wu of the Chengjiang Prefect a few days ago, a few days ago was Mrs. Wu's birthday, and specially invited our old lady to go, I glanced at Mrs. Lin from a distance at the banquet, and I didn't expect Mrs. Lin to be younger than what I saw that day." ”
"It's all seventy or eighty people, why are you talking about being young? You little girls are just when you are young. Lin said, smiling faintly.
A few days ago, she did receive an invitation from Wu Youyi, the prefect of Chengjiang, saying that his wife had celebrated her birthday and invited many people with heads and faces in Chengjiang to go. But she had something to do that day, and she didn't make it, so the little maid said that she saw herself at the banquet, which was obviously nonsense.
But since people have the heart to talk to themselves, they can't expose them directly. Pearl is the body of the old lady of Dingwu Hou, if she can't make a face today, I am afraid that in the future, let alone see the old lady of Dingwu Hou, it is to say hello from afar, and people may not pay attention to you.
