Chapter 269: Plea
Nuan Niang smiled: "I'm fine, I've been worried about my sister all night... β
As soon as the words came out, I knew that something was wrong.
Sure enough, Mrs. Cai looked at Cai Nuanniang, who was uneasy, and said, "What? Yesterday's banquet in the county king's mansion was inappropriate? Why didn't you say anything when you came back? β
Where did Nuan Niang dare to respond to this, she looked at Banniang with a blank eye.
Banniang's face flushed, but she said frankly: "Sister Lao Nuan helped me hide it, I think Sister Nuan hasn't told my godmother yet." Yesterday, my daughter had some unpleasantness with the county lord of Qinghe, and my daughter left the county king's mansion in advance. β
Mrs. Cai also knew a little about the temperament of the county lord of Qinghe, and she was afraid that Banniang would suffer a loss, so she asked what was going on.
Banniang then turned over the matter as it was, but hid the part where she and Di Yong went out of the city to play.
When Mrs. Cai heard this, she scolded angrily: "Your father-in-law has always said that your personality is like a man, and it is true. I used to live with your stepfather in Fuzhou for a few days, and I know that men and women in the south are not very particular, but Beijing is not stricter than the customs in the south, and the requirements for women are stricter. You have a marriage contract with the Lu family's Seventeen Lang, but fortunately, Lu Seventeen Lang, the godmother looks at it, and he is also an understanding person. If someone else, you are so close to a strange man, and in full view of everyone, is led by the hand and walks in the palace, and this is going to be spread, won't it ruin the relationship between your two families? Also called Seventeen Lang, how does the child deal with himself? β
There is a sense of reproach in these words.
Banniang was also ashamed when she heard it.
Although she and Lu Qiqi both thought it was nothing, outsiders definitely didn't see it that way. In this era, if you want to be free in love, if you are together, if you are not together, you will be in vain, that is deliberately looking for spray.
Banniang sincerely admitted her mistake: "What the godmother said is that it is the daughter who is wrong." In fact, there is another hidden meaning in this, but it is ...... The daughter was ashamed, and she really didn't know how to communicate with her godmother. β
When Mrs. Cai heard this, her heart jumped.
Originally, she felt that it was very inappropriate for Lu Seventeen to ask the second son of the Di family to take Banniang out of the palace when he was there. At this time, Banniang said that there was another secret...... Could it be that the eight girls and the two sons of the Di family, what do they really have?
Women are sensitive, especially emotionally, Qinghe is so arrogant, with the respect of the county lord, he can attack on the spot, and he can't get along with Banniang, but I'm afraid that this Di Erlang treats Banniang unusually.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Cai said to Nuan Niang, who was listening with relish: "Nuan Niang, I left your sister to eat at home today, and you ordered them to make some dishes and snacks from the south." β
There is a ready-made maid outside, how can you tell her to go? Nuan Niang was about to speak, and Banniang also looked at Nuan Niang with some pleading, and said, "I like to eat sour white siad, so Sister Nuan will help me go and talk to my aunt in the kitchen." β
Nuan Niang knew that Banniang had some words that she couldn't say in front of her, so she didn't want to embarrass Banniang, so she got up with a smile and said, "Then sister, let's go to the kitchen to see, what else does my sister want to eat, and tell me that it's still early at this time, so I can do it in time." β
Seeing Banniang shaking her head, she went.
Mrs. Cai waved away the maid in the house, and her expression became serious: "I am your godmother, you are alone in Beijing, and your parents are not around, and your father-in-law and I should be responsible for taking care of you." If something happens to you, how will your father-in-law and I explain to the doctor and your mother in the future? You are young and ignorant, if you have anything, you should also tell your godmother, after all, you can't make you suffer. β
Banniang hurriedly said: "It's all because of the daughter's improper behavior, but now in this matter, the daughter really doesn't know what to do, and there is no one to discuss, so I have to come to talk to the godmother, and ask the godmother to guide the daughter." β
When Mrs. Cai heard her words, she sighed and said, "But you have a relationship with the second son of the Di family?" β
Banniang nodded silently. I am afraid that Mrs. Cai will misunderstand that she has a loss of morality, this is not a joke, she herself is nothing, but she can't make people think that the Zeng family is a famous family of autumn rain, and she will teach a daughter who has a bad virtue and has an affair with a strange man, and in front of her fiancΓ©, she can come to the daughter of the man. Well, although that's actually true. It was only at this time that Banniang felt that she and Lu Seventeen, two poor worms, even after all these years of hard work, were still incompatible with this era. In their eyes, it is not a matter of things, but it is the biggest thing in this era when the most emphasis is placed on virtue and ethics and spiritual purity.
I heard Mrs. Cai ask: "You and the seventeenth lang of the Lu family are also better to play small." Since such a thing happened, what does Seventeen Lang mean? β
Listening to the obvious disagreement in Mrs. Cai's tone, if it weren't for the fact that she was just the goddaughter of a passerby, but that something like this happened to Nuan Niang, Mrs. Cai was afraid that she would have been served by the family law a long time ago.
Banniang is also very helpless, but now only by inviting her father-in-law and stepmother to come forward, can she and Di Yong's marriage have so much hope, and she has to be ashamed, uneasy, helpless and earnest, and said with tears: "Back to my godmother's words, I grew up with Brother Seventeen in a small place, and we did business together in the past. It's just that although he is married to Brother Seventeen, his daughter and Brother Seventeen only have the love of brother and sister, and I treat him as a brother, even Brother Seventeen treats his daughter as a sister. When I was a child, I didn't understand much, but now I understand that although Brother Seventeen and I are good, it is only a brother and sister relationship, whether it is a daughter to him or a daughter, there is no love between men and women. Therefore, yesterday's incident, Brother Seventeen ...... He said that even though Di Ergongzi took his daughter away in front of everyone, although only the county king and the county princess were there at that time, Di Ergongzi should be asked to take responsibility for his daughter. As for my marriage to Brother Seventeen, he said that for the sake of his daughter's happiness, he would take the responsibility over, find his own fault, and ask his family to withdraw from the marriage. But the daughter is not willing to be selfish for herself, so she puts the responsibility on the seventeenth brother, if so, the daughter can really ...... As you wish...... I will also feel uneasy for the rest of my life. And even if the marriage between the seventeenth brother and me is stopped, the marriage between my daughter and the second son of Di is not easy to achieve. β
Although Mrs. Cai said that she felt that this child was probably used to showing her face outside, and her temperament was like that of a man, and there were fewer rules in this etiquette that required women, but in the end, she liked her from the bottom of her heart, looking at her pitiful and unhappy to be sorry for Lu Jiaerlang, and felt that she was wrong, and she didn't know how to be good and pitiful, and she also took pity, so she said: "To say, this seventeen lang can be like this, it's really a good thing, but you two little enemies, and you don't have that kind of mind." Godmother only asks you now, since Di Jiaerlang said such things in front of everyone yesterday, what did he say to you in private? β
Baniang blushed, lowered her head and whispered: "On the way back to send her daughter, Di Er Gongzi said that he said that he said such things in front of the county king and the county princess, as well as Princess Qinghe and the seventeenth brother, and it was also his sincere words, and he would be responsible for his daughter in the future, and he would ...... in the future I will definitely marry my daughter. But the marriage is a major event, and the words of the matchmaker are the right way, although he is sincere, his daughter does not dare to respond...... Please also ask the godmother to be able to do it. β
As he spoke, he was about to kneel down for Mrs. Cai.
Mrs. Cai hurriedly pulled her up, thinking that a talent like Di Jia Erlang was indeed a person who couldn't be found with a lantern, if it was really discussed, it was Ba Niang who was not worthy of the child in terms of appearance and family background, and I don't know how the child was biased towards this girl. And she can defend Banniang in front of everyone, and don't let her be bullied, just this point, although it is inappropriate to act, but this responsibility is desirable.
But Di Erlang is the person who wants to be the lord of Qinghe in the Heavenly Family, and he is the favorite courtier of the Heavenly Family, how can he be the master of the marriage? If he doesn't marry Banniang, how can Banniang have a good life in the future?
It's no wonder that this kid is so eager to come to himself. Fortunately, Banniang's last sentence of "don't dare" told her that although Di Erlang expressed his attitude, Banniang still knew some things and did not make a private agreement with him for life.
To say, there are many people in the Great Song Kingdom who fall in love freely. It's not a big deal. When the heavenly family marries a daughter, they have to ask what kind of son their daughter wants to marry. But no matter how free it is, after all, the marriage has to be decided by the parents, and those who like each other have to ask for it in front of their parents in the end, and the family affairs decided by the elders can be counted.
Banniang's parents are not around, and they know that if they ask her godmother, this girl is doing the right thing. But where is she sure to promote this marriage?
Then he said to Banniang: "If Di Erlang is just an ordinary son-in-law, with your family's family background, it may not be unworthy." It's just that the child's identity is special, and his marriage is probably to be the master of the heavenly family, even his own mother and son, he may not be able to speak, and you have to come back to your father-in-law about this matter, and I will discuss it with your father-in-law again. Don't worry, since you call me a godmother, I will treat you as my own daughter, and I must think of something not to make you suffer. It's just that these days, before the matter is decided, I can't meet with Na Di Erlang again. β
"Yes, my daughter saved." If it weren't for the political marriage, Ah Yong was born in an ordinary family, how could her marriage with him be so troublesome, and she wouldn't have to ask her father-in-law and mother-in-law for it. Now that I have listened to Mrs. Cai's words, I am also a little determined, and I can't help but rejoice that her stepmother is also an enlightened person, otherwise she can't count on help, and she keeps losing her status as a stepdaughter, she should be thankful.
It's just that the thought of not being able to see him again for a long time makes her feel that it has only been a night apart, and she already thinks of him like this.
It turns out that this is the feeling every three autumns.
After speaking, Mrs. Cai called the maid to come over to add tea, and from time to time Nuan Niang entered the house, and saw that although the corners of Banniang's eyes were still a little red, but she and her mother both looked good, Nuan Niang breathed a sigh of relief.
Hurriedly stepped forward and smiled: "Sister, I talked to the kitchen and added some delicious food." There is also something that my mother likes to eat, and my daughter also let her make it. β
Mrs. Cai said: "Okay, I've been talking for a long time, I'll also rest for a while, Nuan Niang, lead your sister to your courtyard, and your sisters will also talk together." β
Nuan Niang was trying to talk to Banniang about Hugh, and what happened after she and Di Erlang left the house yesterday, she was also very curious, hearing this, as if she had won a command, she hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to take Banniang's hand: "Nacheng, mother, you rest first, I'll play with my sister for a while." β
Banniang got up, made a farewell, and went out of the house with Nuan Niang and went to Nuan Niang's boudoir.
After entering the house, Cai Nuanniang couldn't wait to send the maids in the house.
