Chapter Fifty-Eight
Seeing that Ling Jiming showed no mercy to herself, Ling Yuanniang's face became very ugly, and her anger churned in her chest before it was silently extinguished. She didn't dare to bet, since her brother became an official, the backbone of this family is no longer her father, if he is determined to drive her away, her father and mother will not be able to protect herself.
Ling Yuanniang died down, Ling Jiming didn't want to stay for a long time, and said to Father Ling before leaving: "Dad, don't go over tomorrow." I'll take a break in two days, and then you and your mother will come to the door again. ”
Father Ling responded, "Erlang, if you go back to make amends for your mother and eldest sister, daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, I am afraid that they will blame you for this and affect your future." ”
Seeing that Father Ling was thinking about himself, Ling Jiming was very moved in his heart, "Dad, don't worry, it'll be fine." ”
Father Ling sighed and sent his son to the door.
Before leaving, Ling Jiming said to his father: "Dad, don't worry, one day my son will get ahead, and then I will never let you and my mother be wronged." ”
Father Ling nodded again and again, his nose was sore, and he burst into tears on the spot.
Ling Jiming dragged his heavy steps back home, and Fan Jin and Fan Liushi were waiting for him to eat. Seeing him come back, Fan Jin stepped forward and asked, "Husband, why did you come back late today?" ”
Ling Jiming said with a smile: "There are many things in the yamen, so I delayed for a while. ”
After speaking, he bent down and arched his hand to Fan Liu's and said: "My mother-in-law came from afar, and my son-in-law has not greeted me in person, I hope you will forgive me." ”
Fan Liushi glanced at him, and said in a strange manner: "Which card am I counting, how dare I bother Lord Ling to pick it up." ”
Ling Jiming was embarrassed and kept bending over. Fan Jin hurriedly played a round, "Husband, my mother is a little tired from hurrying, don't take her words to heart." After speaking, he softly blamed Fan Liushi: "Mother, don't make a mess, okay." ”
Fan Liushi saw that his daughter was defending Ling Jiming, although he was dissatisfied, he still didn't continue to embarrass him, and said, "Wait for you to be old for a long time, hurry up and eat." ”
Only then did Ling Jiming straighten up and sit down.
Before going to bed, Fan Jin pretended to inadvertently mention the incident between Wen and Ling Yuanniang during the day. Ling Jiming paused as he took off his clothes, and said, "I know, it's their fault, I'll ask them to apologize to you another day." ”
Fan Jin explained to him, "Husband, I didn't mean that. Today I went to the Marquis Yongyi's mansion, and my aunt prevaricated me with old words, I was worried that Wan Wan would be wronged in the palace. At this time, my mother and eldest sister came, and I don't know what I said wrong, my mother said that she was going to let you divorce me, and I was really uncomfortable listening to it. ”
Wen's temper Ling Jiming, who is a son, doesn't know where he can say anything, and he can say anything when he is angry, and there is Ling Yuanniang fanning the flames on the side, he doesn't doubt the truth of Fan Jin's words at all.
"My mother was also picked up by the eldest sister, don't worry, I have already warned her."
Fan Jin nodded, remembering the idea her mother gave her earlier. "Husband, the eldest sister is still young, and she will have to get married sooner or later, while my mother is here, why don't you ask her to find a family for the eldest sister?"
Ling Jiming glanced at her, and she immediately said, "My mother will definitely choose those honest and reliable people, and she will not harm the eldest sister." After all, if the eldest sister doesn't marry well, we will also suffer. ”
Ling Jiming knew that she was afraid that she would misunderstand, "This matter will bother my mother-in-law." He thought for a moment and muttered, "Find someone with strict rules." ”
Fan Jin heard the dissatisfaction in Ling Jiming's words, and knew that he couldn't stand this eldest sister who was always a demon. She sneered in her heart, Ling Yuanniang, wait, my mother and I will definitely find a good family for you.
Fan Liu returned to the capital, and on the second day, he returned to his parents' home with the tuyi from Yingchuan and some gifts. Although Marquis Yongyi didn't like Fan Liu's eldest daughter, he hadn't seen her for more than ten years, so he still left her to stay in the house for a few more days.
Before Fan Liu's marriage, he often flattered his sister-in-law, Mrs. Shizi, and this time after he came back, he was no exception, and most of the gifts he brought back went into Mrs. Shizi's courtyard.
It is not strange that many people have ceremonies, and Mrs. Shizi looked at the gifts, and held back the disdain in her heart, and smiled with the sister-in-law who had not seen her for many years.
When the flattery was almost over, Fan Liu opened his mouth to ask about his granddaughter Ling Wanwan. The smile on Mrs. Shizi's face paused, and said, "It must be Jin'er's girl who asked you to ask, don't worry, Wanwan is doing well in the palace, there is a mother watching, no one dares to bully her." ”
Fan Liushi smiled and nodded, "With the words of sister-in-law, Jin'er's child is also relieved." ”
After speaking, he said with a sad face: "Sister-in-law, I haven't been back to the capital for more than ten years, and I have to ask my sister-in-law to help me with something." ”
Hearing the word "help", Mrs. Shizi's smile faded a little, "What's the hurry, you can talk about it." ”
Fan Liu's family mentioned Ling Yuanniang, "The eldest sister of Jin'er's mother-in-law's family has been staying in her mother's house since she was widowed, and my son-in-law entrusted me to find a family for her. You also know, where do I have the right candidate, don't I have to ask my sister-in-law to help me find one. ”
It turned out to be such a trivial matter, Mrs. Shizi's smile deepened a little, and asked, "Jin'er's eldest sister is so old, what kind of family do you want to find?" ”
"She was born in the seventeenth year of Pingwu, and she is exactly twenty-nine years old this year. My son-in-law said that he had to find her a house where the rules were strictly forbidden. ”
Mrs. Shizi asked for other requirements, and Fan Liushi waved his hand and said, "As long as the family can get by." ”
For the sake of those gifts, Mrs. Shizi agreed to help with this. After Fan Liu's left, Mama Wu, who was waiting beside her, stepped forward and said, "Madam, the old slave has someone to choose here, and I am sure to meet the conditions of the eldest aunt and grandmother." ”
It was really sleepy that someone sent a pillow, and Mrs. Shizi immediately asked, "Who is it?" ”
Mama Wu said: "The nineteenth master of our Hou Mansion's own family." ”
When Mama Wu mentioned this person, Mrs. Shizi thought for a while before she remembered, "Is that Liu Huaiwen who died in the three-room wife's room?" ”
Mama Wu said: "It's him." Didn't the eldest aunt and grandmother say that they wanted to find a family with strict rules for Miss Cousin's eldest sister, the old slave looked, the nineteenth master's family is very suitable, the old lady of his family is notoriously strict in rules, and the first three daughters-in-law in front of her were trained by her to be well-behaved, and they didn't even dare to speak loudly. ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Shizi thought for a while and said: "Then him, Mama, you will come to the door tomorrow to ask, if his family also has this meaning, it is good, if there is no such meaning, let's find someone else." ”
"The old slave obeys." Mama Wu nodded, "With Madame coming forward, I think this thing will definitely be done." ”
Sure enough, as Mama Wu expected, Liu Huaiwen's mother, Mrs. Liu, heard that Mrs. Shizi personally acted as a matchmaker for her son, and the woman was the eldest sister of the widow of the cousin of the Marquis of Yongyi's mansion who lived at home.
Old Madam Liu was moved when she heard this, she thought that Mrs. Shizi would never lie to them. Liu Huaiwen's room is a side branch separated from the Yongyi Hou Mansion for three generations, and on weekdays, Mrs. Liu is worried that she can't make love with the Hou Mansion, and now the opportunity is sent to the door, how can she not take advantage of it.
After she agreed to this family business, Mrs. Shizi called Fan Liu's family over and gave a general explanation of the situation of the man's family. For Mrs. Liu, the aunt in the next room, Fan Liu also knew before she got married, and I heard that she is strict and harsh, and the most important rules.
Fan Liushi was very satisfied with this family business, and after going back, he confessed to Fan Jin, and Fan Jin informed Ling Jiming again. So while Mu Xiu was taking advantage of Mu Xiu, Ling Jiming told his father and mother at this time, Ling Lao Dad and the Wen old couple heard that they had found a family business for their eldest daughter backed by the Yongyi Hou Mansion, and they didn't care about inquiring about the character of the man's family, so they hurriedly nodded and agreed.
The Ling family finally knew that it was Ling Yuanniang who was going to marry, and they originally wanted to refuse to marry, but when they heard that person was a relative of the side branch of the Yongyi Mansion, the flame of anger gradually extinguished.
She is still young, and she will remarry sooner or later, since she can get in touch with the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, why not agree. Hmph, after she marries into the Liu family, she wants to see what else the Fan family has to show off.
After Ling Yuanniang nodded, the Ling Liu family quickly settled on a family affair. When the two families were moving around, Ling Yuanniang and Liu Huaiwen also met a few times in private, and Ling Yuanniang felt that Liu Huaiwen was different from the men she had seen before, but she was inexplicably attracted to her.
Neither of them was the first marriage, and on the day they got married, they simply set up a few tables of wedding banquets, and most of the banquets were relatives of the Liu family. Ling Yuanniang was originally dissatisfied with the contempt of the Liu family, but after Mrs. Shizi gave a box of makeup gifts, she happily became a bride.
