Chapter 60: Urging to Marry
Duan Ling'er saluted the Xue family's seniors, Xue's mother had seen Duan Ling'er a few times, and she also heard her daughter say how the Duan family's Xiaojiu helped her see through Su Jing's fake painting bureau, and although Duan Ling'er was a few years older than her own daughter, her personality was very similar, and she was a sassy and neat person, so Xue's mother also liked Duan Ling'er very much.
Seeing Duan Ling'er saluting, she was busy patting her hand and asked the maid behind her to take fruit from the bamboo basket for her to eat.
Several people moved to the ginkgo tree in the middle of this ancient temple while talking, Duan Ling'er took the fruit, and looked into the distance, in this temple standing on the lonely peak of the steep protrusion, the scenery below is verdant, and the foot is a high mountain across the river, and the tourists are weaving.
A silver-gray figure appeared halfway up the mountain, Duan Ling'er looked at it from a distance, and thought, he is also here?
Just thinking about it, he felt Xue Zheng gently pull himself, Duan Ling'er turned his head, and saw that Xue Zheng had some shyness in his eyes and was also a little impatient, but he couldn't say a word because of the presence of his family.
This Xue Zheng wanted to pull Duan Ling'er to say something private, but her mother and aunt had been standing beside her, Xue Zheng bit her lip and glanced at Duan Ling'er complicatedly.
"Sister Ling, you taste this fruit." Mother Xue was very enthusiastic and pointed to the fruit in Duan Ling'er's hand: "I fried it myself myself, auntie." You taste it. ”
Duan Ling'er smiled slightly, quickly took a bite of the fruit, took a mouthful of fried dough, and looked at Xue Zheng.
It seems that Sister Xue has something important to tell herself, but now that this situation is in this situation, it is not easy to ask herself, so she has to find some way to chat with Sister Xue privately.
But...... Having said that, Sister Xue, who has always been sassy, actually grabbed the veil with a twist?
Mother Xue saw Duan Ling'er eating the fruit obediently, she really liked it in her heart, she looked at it several times, and suddenly remembered her daughter's matter, and hurriedly nagged again: "Ling'er, tell me, almost all the people who propose marriage have stepped on the door of my house these days, and even the little maid in our concierge is tired. Your eldest sister Xue is now the hot new rice cake in the heart of a bachelor in Yangzhou, what about her? But she had to let herself cool before she stopped, and none of those young talents, whether they were in their background, background, or appearance, did not take a fancy to them. ”
Xue Zheng's aunt also chimed in: "Yes, Sister Zheng, you listen to your aunt's advice, you have to pick one of these men if there are many, and you don't see any of them, which makes no sense." ”
Xue Zheng looked at his aunt and frowned: "Auntie, my mother is a fool, why are you confused when you have always been shrewd?" ”
Aunt Xue Zheng's walnut face was full of wrinkles, and she said curiously: "What do you say about your niece?" How are we confused? ”
Xue Zheng looked at her four eyes: "Auntie, don't you know that those who come to propose marriage believe in the Qinglong Protection, and they all think that if you marry me, you will definitely be able to prosper, and it is rumored that as long as you marry me and enter the door, you will be able to have more children, more blessings and more longevity, and you will be able to cross the horse with gold and silver, and there are even rumors that if you marry me, you will be able to carp and jump into the dragon gate Jiazi Dengke?" ”
"So what?"
"It shows that this person's intention to marry me is not pure, if I really have the protection of the green dragon, it would be fine, but how many times have I said it, it is a false thing, why do you seem to not believe it? No matter what, no matter what you and my mother say, even if my father comes to persuade me, I don't want to understand any of these people, and I won't marry. ”
Xue Zhengmu
The relatives immediately said angrily: "Your aunt and I don't have anything to say, I just want you to see the reality, we are not noble, and we have all lived a hard life, your father is still rolling on the river every day, and it is hard, do you still have to say it for your mother?" Yes, in the past few years, we have not worried about food and clothing, but our family is far from the day when we can be aromatized every day, quench our thirst with ice drinks, and the gilded bird stand under the corridor is the day when the green-winged parrot is accompanied, and there is still a gap of 108,000 miles. Now that you have a chance to get out of this kind of life, don't you want to live in the past? ”
When Xue Zheng heard this, his face immediately changed. She is an active girl, she has excellent water nature, and she can also do some martial arts, and what she longs for the most is to be able to ride a horse on the grassland in the north, to be able to shoot arrows on a horse, and to yearn for a free life.
She has been in the water with her father since she was a child, and she has never felt that this life has been miserable, and she listens to her mother's wishes, and only by going to be a woman in a deep house who does not go out of the door and does not step out, and who has clothes and food to open her mouth, can she be considered to be well married.
Thinking of the days when he not only couldn't go to the grassland for the rest of his life, but might not even be allowed to go into the water, thinking of being imprisoned in the deep house all day long, serving his in-laws, and looking at his husband's face to beg for the future of life, Xue Zhengtou immediately exploded.
Her eyes were like a famous sword, piercing into the air, staring at the white clouds and saying angrily: "What's so good about that kind of day? I am a canary trapped in the house, and then I raise a bird to have fun with each other, and I think it is no more comfortable than our wanton discharge and water! ”
Mother Xue was so angry that she beat her legs: "There are still people in this world who don't want to live a comfortable life and want to live a hard life in the wind and waves?" Don't be confused, your father can't give you that kind of day, but if you find a good husband, you can live a peaceful life! ”
Xue Zheng didn't speak, his brows furrowed so much that he wanted to wring out the water.
Duan Ling'er couldn't interject, she couldn't walk, the corner of her clothes was tightly pulled by Xue Zheng, she had to go to see the scenery in the mountain, Xie Ci's figure was gone, but not far away, a figure in the crowd made her heart warm.
Gu Changfeng......
I only heard Aunt Xue Zheng say: "Niece, don't look at your age this year, although you are not too old, but this day can pass very fast, three years in a row, if you have a temper, you have to delay again and again, drag it to more than ten ** twenties, and then it is difficult to find a good man to marry you, this situation, the girl's family can't afford to drag it out." ”
Mother Xue nodded vigorously and said, "Your father and I are not in a hurry to marry a daughter, but do you really want to live your life in that row like your father and me?" ”
Xue Zheng shook his handkerchief and replied, "What about living a life?" ”
Xue Zheng's mother suddenly turned pale with anger, crossed her waist, looked at the blue sky, and gasped for a while before she calmed down, looked at her daughter and snorted coldly: "That dare is good." I have a daughter to serve until I die, but what about you? You're old, and you don't even have someone to support each other! An unmarried woman lives alone in this rich wolf world, how many people want to beat your idea? Bullying you and bullying you, how will you let me close my eyes with your father when the time comes?! ”
Xue Zheng listened to his mother's more and more serious words, and couldn't help crying angrily.
These days, she has a heavy heart, but she doesn't know how to tell her mother, who is pressing hard every day, and she is really going to kill her.
Mother Xue was so angry that she gasped a few times and said: "Let's talk about the Cui family who is also on Caoyun, the Cui family fled from Shaanxi ten years ago, and his daughter is reasonable."
In the event of a disaster, you should not marry, but when you come to Yangzhou, you can find relatives. The Cui family has no foundation, and always wants to find a safe one for their daughter, but they have been waiting for six or seven years, and now they are in their twenties, and no one wants her to be the lady of the main house. Finally, the youngest son of the butcher's family was decided last year, and he said to marry this year, and he said to marry next year, but he didn't marry in the end. I can't let you follow her old path! ”
Aunt Xue Zheng saw that her sister was so worried, and she also sighed: "If you want to say that your niece has just passed this year, she is not in a hurry, but the heavens are hanging the curtain, and with the rumors of the protection of the green dragon, this has attracted men from all walks of life to ask for marriage." This is a blessing that other small girls can't think of! Your family is not a big family, although a little money and silver is also hard money, your daughter's family, if you can really achieve a good family in these people, it is really a gift from God! Zheng'er, why don't you understand it like that! ”
Xue Zheng just tilted his head and stared at the clouds in the sky, sobbing but not saying a word.
Mother Xue had no choice but to say to Duan Ling'er: "Sister Ling'er, you are good friends with my girl, you help your aunt persuade her!" ”
Duan Ling'er watched Gu Chang walk into the main hall, she retracted her mind and was silent for a while before she said to Xue's mother: "Auntie, it's a good thing to choose a husband, but if you really choose those people who listen to Qinglong's rumors and marry with this reputation, that person doesn't have the talent of the champion and the soul of Wenqu Xing, but he is delusional to use his sister Wangfu to achieve himself, then he must be angry with his sister, maybe he will find a reason to divorce his sister in a fit of anger, in this way, wouldn't Sister Xue jump into the fire pit herself?" ”
Mother Xue and Aunt Xue Zheng were both stunned, these days they have been begged to marry their daughters by various literati, and they have been patronizing, but they didn't expect it.
Mother Xue leaned over: "According to your meaning, should these suitors be driven away?" ”
Duan Ling'er shook her head, turned her head to look at Xue Zheng and said, "Sister Xue is just in time for this year, if you don't want to marry someone with bad intentions, your uncle and aunt will definitely not let you marry." But this time the number of people is expensive, there are all kinds of people, in fact, we can just take advantage of this courtship to test and investigate, maybe among those many people, there are really one or two people who are compatible with you, if there are people who are both talented and good-looking, and have a noble character, let's make it clear to him, the rumors of the green dragon are false, if he is still willing to ask for marriage, it means that he has met a sincere person. But if you don't have a test, you will reject everyone, and you may miss out on your loved one. ”
Xue Mu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, what Miss Duan said is right!" ”
Xue Zheng looked at Duan Ling'er in a complicated way, but at this time, Ling Ling'er winked at her slyly, she suddenly understood, and finally nodded, and dealt with the things in front of her first.
"Mother, I'll talk to Ling'er, this girl's family is panicked when this happens, don't force me like this, let me think about it."
Mother Xue saw Xue Zheng nodding, and she was already very relieved in her heart, and she also felt that what Duan Ling'er said made some sense, she loved this daughter the most, if she really married her daughter to Zhongshan Wolf, wouldn't she have made a big mistake.
Now that one person has taken a step back, it is better to think about this matter in the long run.
nodded and pulled Aunt Xue Zheng and said, "Sister, let's go burn incense and let the two sisters talk." ”
Aunt Xue Zheng answered, and the two of them helped each other to the main hall.
