Chapter 194: The scumbag relatives bring humiliation upon themselves
And the things that need to be prepared, when An Youping agreed to the marriage of the two of them, Jinglan quickly found someone to make it, the wedding dress has been embroidered, and the customized head and face for An Ge have also been sent over.
An Ge was slightly speechless as she looked at the glittering golden things, thinking that those things would be pressed on her head on the wedding day...... Her thin little neck, oh, don't be crushed.
Just three days before the wedding, a group of people came to the Jing family one after another.
Early that morning, Ning Jiu's face was pale, and he came back from the General's Mansion to serve An Ge to comb her hair, and An Ge saw that she was in a bad mood from the mirror, so he asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”
Ning Jiu sighed and said, "I shouldn't have said it to upset the girl, but it's too annoying!" ”
An Ge became more and more curious: "What the hell is going on?" ”
"The second and third rooms of the Jing family came, and they went to find trouble with the general early in the morning, saying that the general was married for such a big thing, and they didn't tell the elders, they all knew it from reading the news in the newspaper, saying that the general was actually in charge of himself, saying that the general had no tutor, and there were many more ugly words!" Ning Jiu said indignantly, "The old generals and generals who fought the war are fighting outside, and the wealth of the Jing family is all earned by the old generals and generals with their lives!" How many rooms do they eat for rice, where do they come from to point their fingers in front of the general? ”
"What's even worse is that, girl, do you know why those people don't live in the capital, they all live near the capital? They are afraid that the general will be in trouble one day, and they will run away! ”
"This is not the most disgusting, the most disgusting thing is that I listened to the subordinates who served them, saying that they had made up their minds to destroy the marriage between the girl and the general this time, and they also brought the cousin of the Jing family's third-room daughter-in-law's mother's family, saying that the wealth of the Jing family cannot flow into the hands of outsiders, and they must give their own family!"
Ange was silent.
Jinglan really protected her too well, leading her to think that the Jing family had a simple background, just like her own family, without all kinds of annoying things. But she forgot that the Jing family is also a big family, a big family that has been making a fortune since the founding emperor, and there are more relatives in each room. These two bedrooms and three bedrooms are the younger brother of General Jing.
Ning Jiu saw that An Ge's expression was not very good, and hurriedly comforted: "Miss An, don't be sad, the general will not make you suffer." ”
Ning Jiu suddenly laughed when he said this, "They rushed over so hard this morning, and they didn't eat any food, so the slave maid personally cooked a meal for them." ”
An Ge understood what she meant: "You added ingredients to them?" ”
Ning Jiu nodded: "Hmm." But don't worry, the girl, I added different ingredients to them, some of them are now vomiting, some are leaking, some are sleeping, each person's condition is different, and it would be good to explain that they are not adaptable. ”
An Ge clapped his hands and said, "Well done!" Dare to bully my general, no matter who he is, he must not let them go! ”
Ning Jiu chuckled, not knowing how happy his master would be if he heard the words "my general".
The two bedrooms and three bedrooms of the Jing family struggled out of vomiting and diarrhea, and although the breath was weak at this time, there was no lot of momentum at all.
On the way they came, they discussed it, and they must give the new daughter-in-law a little bit of power, otherwise Jinglan will go out to fight in the future, and the general's mansion will change the woman to be the master, what is wrong with them, can't they come to solve it through the general's mansion.
Second Uncle Jing's face was dark and green, and he said to Jing Lan: "Lan'er, as your elders, we must be the master of marriage matters." Since your family affairs have been decided, we can't say anything, but at least you let your new daughter-in-law meet the elders in advance, right? ”
Third Uncle Jing's face was green and purple: "Lan'er, what your second uncle said is right, your father and mother left early, but our Jing family is not so withered that only one of your children can come out to make decisions about your marriage, the Jing family is a big family, if you do this, the etiquette is so inconsiderate, you will be poked in the backbone by others." ”
Aunt Jing's face was purple and pale: "Yes, it's really not like words, I heard that this girl is still on an errand outside?" I know that now that the folk customs of Dali are open, it is nothing for women to go out to beg for a living, but the Jing family is everyone, such a wealthy family, can Qi let a serious general's wife go out and show his face? ”
Aunt Jing's face was pale and dark: "Lan'er, second aunt heard that you gave out half of the Jing family's net worth as a dowry?" The An family is from other places, a small family, but his father became an official, and the official may be a matter in Yangzhou, but what is it to get to the capital? How can she help you? How much dowry can she afford? I'm afraid your dowry is also in vain, right? ”
After Aunt Jing said the above, she naturally took over the purpose of today's visit: "Your cousin Zhu'er, who is fifteen years old, is the age of flowers, and is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not comparable to a woman from a small family." However, she estimated that she was tired from traveling overnight, and now her body is uncomfortable, and she is resting in the back, and the third aunt will call over to meet you later. ”
These things were discussed overnight after the second and third rooms got the news.
If Jinglan marries a noble, daughter of a wealthy family in Beijing, they have nothing to say. But Jing Lan just married a small family, and they couldn't get over it in their hearts.
Fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, the Jing family's endless wealth and endless glory, why should they be enjoyed by an outsider who is not as good as them?
That's what they're here for.
Jinglan was so distraught that she almost crushed the teacup.
Just as he was about to have a seizure, Ning Jiu came in and said, "Master, Miss An has something to look for you." ”
Jing Lan hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll go now." ”
Second Uncle Jing immediately got up and stopped him: "Lan'er, since Miss An is also here, you might as well call her over to meet us, the ugly daughter-in-law will also see her in-laws sooner or later, now that the eldest brother and aunt are not here, we should be in charge of you." ”
Jinglan didn't want An Ge to face these troubles, but Ning Jiu said to him with a smile: "Master, Miss An is also ready, since the second master wants to meet, call Miss An over, it won't be rude." ”
All right......
Jing Lan thought about it in another way, An Ge's temperament, he knew, on the surface it looked weak and harmless, but in fact, no one wanted to take advantage of her. If you call her, she won't suffer, but I'm afraid......
His second uncle, third uncle, second aunt and third aunt were angry to death.
But they want to see it so actively, and they can only bring shame on themselves.
After a while, An Ge came over, her appearance was not picky, full of the softness and gentleness of a Jiangnan woman, not to mention that everyone loves her, at least when they see her like this, most people can't bear to embarrass her.
She deliberately dressed up again today, and it was even more eye-catching.
She entered the door of the front hall, Jing Lan's eyes lit up, stared at her for a while before moving away, then stretched out his finger and pointed to the four elders, introduced her, An Ge smiled and saw the salute one by one, there was nothing wrong with the number of etiquette, and the two and three bedrooms had nothing to say.
After Jinglan asked her to sit down, the third aunt smiled and said, "Oh, it's all uncles and aunts who didn't prepare well, and they didn't bring any greeting gifts to you...... But you shouldn't care, right? After all, without the words of the matchmaker from your parents, you have already decided to get married, and it seems that you don't care about these false courtesies, right? ”
An Ge smiled politely and responded to her: "Although the An family is a small family, the number of courtesies that should be there will definitely not be less. My father personally went to Beijing to do it for me. As for the rest, this one will have to ask the general. ”
Jinglan immediately said: "It's all there, don't worry, third aunt." ”
The third aunt didn't pick out a thorn in this aspect, and kept her mouth shut and didn't speak.
The second aunt continued: "Then how much dowry do you bring?" I heard that the house you live in the capital was bought by Lan'er for you, and you can't have any dowry, since you don't have a dowry, you don't need to make too many battles at that time, and when the time comes, you can just come in through the back door of the general's mansion as soon as you cover your red head. ”
This is too poisonous, does it mean that she is not worthy of being a main room, but only a concubine?
Jing Lan naturally understood this, and immediately said: "An Ge is the lady of the main room that I am marrying, she must come in through the gate, and the battle will not be small, and when the time comes, I will definitely let the whole capital know that I married her." ”
"But ......"
The second aunt was about to speak, An Ge immediately interrupted her with a smile: "As for the dowry, the second aunt doesn't have to worry, my father is a well-known Qing official in the whole Dali, so naturally he will not covet the wealth of the Jing family, and when the time comes, I will bring back the dowry given by General Jing intact, in addition to the treasures that my mother left for me when she was on an errand in the palace, such as what pearl coral tree, what gold-inlaid jade bowls and chopsticks, and what ......"
An Ge made a look of forgetting, and Ning Jiu immediately said, "The girl's dowry list is too long, I really can't remember it." ”
The third aunt's eyes lit up when she heard this, she didn't expect this small family to be so rich?
No way...... can't let go of the light, no matter how rich she is, she can't let the wealth of the Jing family fall into her hands!
Besides, whether it is a dowry or a dowry, it will not be enough for the two of them at that time, how can they spread the other two rooms cheaply?
But the third aunt didn't know what to say, and she didn't pick out thorns in this place...... She held back for a long time, and said, "Isn't your father a Qing official?" Why are you so rich? ”
An Ge blinked: "I said, it was rewarded by the masters when my mother was on an errand in the palace, is the second aunt not adaptable, so her ears are not good?" ”
The third aunt was so angry that she was about to have a seizure, when Ji Zhu'er, who was like a weak willow supporting the wind, came in with a hand from the maid.
Her appearance is also good, especially those eyes, the sides are slightly drooping, a bit like a crescent moon around the tenth day of the beginning of each month, as innocent and docile as a puppy, so that people can feel how pure these eyes are.
Her face was pale at this time, her steps were weak, and it seemed that Ning Jiuxia's laxatives were really heavy.
Ji Zhu'er gave Jing Lan a soft salute and shouted in a coquettish voice: "Cousin." ”
Her eyes fell on An Ge who was sitting next to Jing Lan again, and she was stunned for a moment, presumably she was An Ge who said in the newspaper that she was going to marry Jing Lan.
