Chapter 161 Deliberation (Asking for Votes)
Chang'an wondered, hasn't his son-in-law been in the house all the time? Why did you run home again? And if these two people have anything to say, they have to let him send a letter from it. Could it be that the two had an awkward quarrel? But looking at Banniang's appearance, it doesn't look like it.
But the affairs of the master's family, he was not easy to ask as a subordinate, so he took the letter, said a word to Master Wang, and then left Zeng's Mansion and went straight to Lu's Mansion.
After entering the Lu Mansion and going straight to the courtyard where the third room was located, he learned that Lu Seventeen was talking in the courtyard of the fourth lady, Chang'an hurriedly asked Xiao Lu to enter the hospital to report, his marriage with Xiao Lu was also given because Lu Seventeen made peace from it, and he just waited for the autumn time to hold the wedding. Because Chang'an has always been busy in the restaurant, he has rarely met with Xiaolu, and this time he saw him, but because Banniang was in a hurry to deliver the letter, he didn't dare to say more.
When Xiao Lu entered the hospital, handed the letter to Lu Seventeen, and went back to his house, wrapped a new summer shirt made for Lu Changan and handed it to him, Lu Changan was sweet in his heart, thinking about a silver hairpin he bought for Xiao Lu, because he didn't expect to have the opportunity to see Xiao Lu today, and didn't bring it with him, so he was a little remorseful, and took the bag in Xiao Lu's hand with a smirk, and said with a smile: "I, I bought you a silver hairpin, and when I turn around, I will send it to you." ”
Xiao Midori said angrily: "What are you doing with all that money?" I don't lack that, usually the fourth lady also has a reward, it's enough. ”
Chang'an said: "Miss's reward, Miss's reward, I gave it, I sent it." That's my heart. And now I have eight times a month, and at the end of the year, Miss Eight will be rewarded. When you save more money in the future, I'll buy you a golden hairpin. ”
"No matter how rich you are, you have to save it, and there will be more places to use it in the future." Little Green said shyly.
Thinking about him like this, Chang'an's heart warmed, and he felt that he had not made a mistake in asking for her to be in front of his son.
As the two were talking, they saw Siniang send Lu Seventeen out, Chang'an hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, asking Lu Seventeen if he needed to bring a reply letter, Lu Seventeen smiled and said: "No need, you just go back and tell Banniang, I received the letter." ”
Chang'an responded and went out of the house.
Lu Qiqi wanted to take Siniang and went to the courtyard of the big house to talk to the eldest aunt. was politely rejected by Lu Siniang: "If my brother has anything to say, discuss it with my aunt myself, I only listen to you." ”
Lu Qiqi then remembered that this was not the era in which he lived in his previous life, and women had the absolute right to speak about their marriage, so he smiled and patted Lu Siniang's shoulder comfortingly: "Brother is just your sister, and everything will be planned for you, but if you have any thoughts in your heart, you must also tell your brother, I am your only brother, what can't I say?" In my heart, nothing is more important than my sister's happiness. ”
Lu Siniang blushed and smiled, her heart was warm, although her brother didn't look serious, but she knew in her heart that over the years, he had been close to himself for everything, but he didn't do anything she shouldn't do when she asked and did: "I know." My brother just has to go. After all, no matter what my brother does, it's for my good. ”
Lu Qiqi carried the letter in his arms, and then went to the eldest aunt's side.
As soon as Mrs. Lu's maid announced, Mrs. Lu hurriedly asked someone to lead him in, leaned on the bed and said with a smile: "Why did you come back so early?" I have something to counsel with you. ”
"I came back with some time, and I have to go to Zeng's house when I turn back." Lu Qiqi sat down beside Mrs. Lu, and while motioning for the maids to stand down, he took the work from the maid's hands and stretched out his hand to beat Mrs. Lu's legs.
Although he is a nephew, in Mrs. Lu's heart, he is like her own son. And the children she gave birth to are all old, and those who marry are married, those who are officials outside are officials outside, but it is this pair of nephews and nieces who were raised by her who have been with her for the longest time. I pity them for losing their parents early, but they are a little more pampered and caring than their own children.
Lu Seventeen gave her a leg beating, and seeing that he smelled of wine, he smiled: "Do you want to ask the maids to cook you some sobering soup?" ”
"No, I just drank a little wine, so it's okay. Auntie, you mentioned Siniang's marriage to the old lady of the Zeng family today? ”
"I just want to tell you this," Mrs. Lu owed a debt and sat up straighter, "I listened to the meaning of the third lady of the Zeng family, and I was also satisfied with the fourth sister of our family, but I wanted to tell the fourth sister to her second eldest Zeng Zijian, in fact, I looked, that Zeng Zijian is more stable than the Zeng Zijing you fancied, but I didn't respond, in the end, this matter depends on the fourth sister's own meaning, and besides, I also know that you are a child, looking at no shape, but the heart is clear, since you like Zeng Zijing, you have your reason, you talk to me." , see how good Zeng Zijing is? ”
Lu Qiqi smiled and said: "Actually, those two brothers are good, the eldest aunt thinks that Zeng Zijian is good, and it makes sense, the elders must prefer Zijian's character, and the nephew just thinks that Zijian has few words, is steady, and our little sister is also an ordinary character, and the two stuffy gourds meet together, in the days to come, isn't there nothing to say, how much fun is missing." But that Zijing, the temperament is broad, the talent is not bad, the person is pure and kind, and he takes our little sister to heart, I look at it coldly, with the style of the Zeng family, it will not be bad for the little sister in the future, but it is to tell the little sister to Zijing, and live a brisker life in the future. I have a total of this one sister, our family does not worry about food and clothing, not to mention how Zijing will come out in the future, only the marriage of the little sister, and it is enough for the two of them to live a good life, I don't expect anything else, I just hope that the little sister will have a smooth and happy life, in this way, Zijing is stronger than Zi Jianjing, aunt, what do you think? ”
These words also reached Mrs. Lu's heart.
Her old man, Lu Hanlin, is not too dignified, he has been married for decades, and when he talks, he doesn't have a smile, which makes people very lonely, she doesn't feel anything, but in the end it's boring, so she smiled and said: "What you think about is different from others." But today, the third lady Zeng meant that she wanted to tell our fourth sister to her son, so it was a little troublesome. No, I'll go back to the door of Zeng's house and talk about it. ”
"That's not necessary," Lu Qiqi smiled, took out the letter that Banniang gave her, and handed it to Mrs. Lu, "Zeng Zijing went to fight for it himself, but it didn't live up to my fancy to him at that time." The eighth sister said that her third aunt also responded, and Ming'er will come to the door, aunt, you just sit at home, and wait for the Zeng family to come to the door to propose, after all, our little sister is also a rare good girl, they can not ask for the Zeng family, this is the blessing of the Zeng family, we have opened our mouths first, and then, just let the Zeng family be busy. ”
Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "You have to give people some face, but the fourth sister will have to live by herself in the future, what we have done at this time makes the family feel comfortable, and your fourth sister will get along with her in-laws and sister-in-law in the future, why embarrass her?" ”
Lu Qiqi glared at each other, and said with great momentum: "We are such a good girl, marrying the Zeng family is a blessing for his family, if the Zeng family dares to treat her badly, we will leave, and we are worried that we can't find a good mother-in-law?" Isn't there a saying? If you have a grudge with any family, only discipline your own daughter, and then marry into this family, maybe you can break his family, so a good girl like our little sister, that's why we help the Zeng family to prosper, what's wrong with them coming to the door to beg? That's also to help their family, if it weren't for the Zeng family's brother Bei and my friendship, I wouldn't look down on their family. ”
Mrs. Lu was amused by his strange argument, and reached out to beat him on the back: "You kid, you talk nonsense, where did you hear this?" Why haven't I heard of it? I'm not afraid that people will listen to jokes. ”
said, and sighed again: "Thinking about it, I am still very sad in my heart, seeing that even the fourth sister is going to get married, and when you become a family in the future, I don't have anything to worry about, only the fourth sister gets married, I ......"
Lu Qiqi hurriedly said: "Aunt don't worry about this, my brothers are not here, I should support you and my eldest uncle, if you feel lonely, then I will get married as soon as possible, and if I have a few more children in the future, I will hand them over to my aunt to raise, and I am afraid that you will be annoyed by the time." You have to agree, in the future, your brothers will come to pick you and your uncle to care for the elderly, and you can't agree, if you and your uncle leave, what can you do if you call your nephew? Without the constant teachings of you and your eldest uncle, maybe I will be crooked again, and you will regret it when the time comes. ”
When Mrs. Lu thought of marrying a daughter, she was still a little sad, and she was amused by his words, so she laughed and scolded: "You are only strong in front of me, and in front of your eldest uncle, the poor only knows how to bow your head and be trained." ”
Lu Qiqi said in his heart, we are not afraid of the old man, but we are just saving some trouble for our ears, if he is also so virtuous in front of the old man, I don't know how much training I have to listen to.
I heard Mrs. Lu say again: "Since this family can be done, I also have to prepare a dowry for the fourth sister as soon as possible, the wedding dress and jewelry or something, all of them have been prepared before, and I still have some experience here, which is left for her to press the box, but on your side, how much money you plan to prepare, I also have a good number." ”
Lu Shi replied: "The accounts at home are all in charge of the little sister, I don't know how much there is, even if it is given to her, I don't have anything, it is always my big man, my own wife, I can also fight, aunt, you go back and ask the little sister, see how much cash there is, just do it according to the money." ”
Mrs. Lu glanced at him with disgust: "You have the ability, my aunt knows it in her heart, but you can't leave some of it alone, it's good if you have this heart, I will take care of it." However, the third room of the Zeng family should set off these days, and the matter is also urgent, fortunately, I have been thinking about the marriage of the fourth sister before, and I have also decided it, I will sort it out again in the next two days, don't patronize and play these days, and when I set the dowry list, you can also take a look. ”
"Yes, my little sister's marriage, how can I not care, and my aunt will be with me."
The mother and son talked for a while, seeing that it was not early, and they were afraid that the Zeng family would have a party, so Mrs. Lu urged Lu Seventeen to go.
