Chapter 80: Forced marriage
Yang Qiqi heard Mrs. Chu's question, frowned incomprehensibly, and stared at the eldest girl motionless with a pair of dark pupils.
The eldest girl bit her lip, hung her head and cried: "I, I heard that someone has such a ......"
Yang Qiqi smiled coldly in his heart, mourning his misfortune and being angry. It was clearly Mrs. Li's idea, but she could only take it all on her.
Mrs. Li had red eyes and said to the princess of Pingyang: "It's also the granddaughter-in-law who is confused, and wants to ask Mrs. Xinyang Hou tactfully, but she never has the intention of marrying in filial piety." You look at Xinyang Houfu like this, it is obviously because the second son is rising and he doesn't want to recognize the eldest girl. It's better to clean this kiss! ”
Sure enough, Mrs. Li saw the wind and turned the rudder and shouted that she was going to withdraw from her family.
Old Madam Cui also had a sullen face, "What is the servant woman of Xinyang Houfu!" I dare to blow my eyebrows and stare at you. ”
Lord Pingyang glanced at Old Madam Cui majestically, and sneered: "We don't take care of this matter, no wonder their family wants to hold on to it." If it's normal, it's okay to do it. But now, firstly, for the sake of the eldest girl's reputation, and secondly, there is no such suitable candidate as the second son of the Lu family. ”
The eldest girl was secretly surprised that the Lord of Pingyang would think about her so much, her eyes were red, and she couldn't help but regret that she had listened to Mrs. Li's words at that time, and she could be regarded as roasting herself on the fire at this time.
Mrs. Li asked in a low voice: "Ancestor, it's all come to this point, do we still want to marry the Xinyang Hou family?" ”
The princess of Pingyang looked at Mrs. Li with sharp eyes, and asked her, "After retiring from the family affair with Xinyang Houjia, do you have a better candidate?" ”
Mrs. Li didn't dare to respond, and Mrs. Cui couldn't help but persuade: "Mother, is it so rampant in Xinyang Houfu?" ”
The princess of Pingyang snorted and slapped the table, "If this family affair is stopped, wouldn't the matter of filial piety be passed on to the streets?" I don't care if Yang Yushu's face is or not, I can't lose the face of the Yuguo Mansion. ”
Mrs. Chu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, after a while, Daughter-in-law Sun and her second sister-in-law will go to Xinyang Houfu in person, and then discuss with Mrs. Xinyang Hou." In the end, they all have their own faces. Moreover, the second prince attacked the knight, and he did not want to hand over the excerpt to enter the palace. Whether this can be sealed smoothly or not, it's hard to say. ”
When the eldest girl heard this, her heart immediately rejoiced. Although the tears were still crackling down, his face was no longer so pale and miserable.
The princess of Pingyang looked a little gloomy, and said to Mrs. Chu: "Then you should prepare quickly, and go to Xinyang Houfu immediately." If you marry in filial piety, you can't admit it if you bite to death, I don't believe it, Mrs. Xinyang Hou still has to twist her arms and thighs, and she can't do anything with us. ”
Mrs. Chu was busy, and the Lord of Pingyang finally glanced at the eldest girl with deep meaning, and didn't say anything more. But his eyes were full of disappointment and a contemptuous and complicated look.
As soon as the Lord of Pingyang left, the people naturally dispersed.
Yang Qiqi still returned to Shuying Building with Yang Qinghuan, and just out of the courtyard of the Lord of Pingyang, Yang Qinghuan couldn't help but sneer: "Seventh sister, we are villains in vain." ”
Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Li asked people to prepare carriages and went to Xinyang Houfu without any delay.
Seeing Mrs. Xinyang Hou, Mrs. Chu didn't let her speak, and said with a preconceived smile: "You are really wrong!" None of us in our family has the intention of marrying in filial piety, but we just want the two families to officially exchange tokens. After all, it was just a verbal talk in the past, our eldest girl can't have nothing, and wait for your second son for three years! ”
Mrs. Xinyang Hou was unhappy, "That's what the people of the Yuguo Mansion said, why am I still wrong?" ”
Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows and asked her, "Mrs. Xinyanghou, I brought the messenger today, what did you say at the time, we can all confront each other in front of my three brothers and sisters today." Even if I get it to the royal front and say, I'm not afraid. ”
Mrs. Xinyang Hou saw her playing tricks, and she couldn't help but get angry, but the Yuguo Mansion was powerful, and now their family was orphaned and widowed, and they really couldn't afford to provoke her. She grimaced with a cold face, gritted her teeth and didn't speak.
Mrs. Chu hurriedly smiled and came to be a peacemaker, "Both sides don't mean this, it's all because the servant woman is the stupidest, and she can't understand the words." Children's family affairs, that's a big thing, how good we are with peace. The eldest girl is the eldest daughter of our Yuguo Mansion, and both the ancestor and the grandfather of the country attach great importance to her marriage. Besides, there is only one seedling left in your family now, and this title of Xinyanghou must be to invite the second son, right? ”
Mrs. Xinyanghou's face changed and changed, and she wondered in her heart, what does this mean? This is threatening her, if this family affair is stopped, is it possible that the Yuguo Mansion can still stir up the matter of the second son's request for a knighthood?
She looked at Mrs. Chu's pleasant smile, her heart was a little weak, and finally smiled at Mrs. Chu slightly, and said, "Our family matter was agreed in the morning, and it should be decided after a ceremony." With that said, let's just don't have this thing. Yixuan is absolutely filial piety for three years, and the day of marriage can only be set after the removal of the service. If your family is willing, let's change the post first, exchange the token, and then it's settled. ”
Mrs. Chu smiled gently: "That's exactly the reason, let's decide." ”
Mrs. Xinyang Hou nodded reluctantly, "I have filial piety on me, it's not good to go to the ancestor to say goodbye, please ask the third lady to help me bring a good child to the ancestor." ”
Mrs. Chu nodded in agreement, and exchanged a few words of greeting with Mrs. Xinyanghou, during which Mrs. Li's face was not very good-looking, and she remained silent.
When the two got up to say goodbye, they heard a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard.
In an instant, a young man in a lotus blue robe entered the door. He has a handsome and delicate face, a straight nose, thin lips, a pair of phoenix eyes with great charm, a long and well-proportioned body, and the whole person is gentle and elegant, and he is an out-and-out beautiful man.
Seeing Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Li, she was slightly stunned, but in an instant, she bowed very politely to the two of them.
Mrs. Xinyang Hou smiled and introduced him: "Come on, these are the two ladies of the Yuguo Mansion." ”
When Lu Yixuan heard that he was from the Yuguo Mansion, his expression became even more gentle, and he humbly saluted Mrs. Li and Mrs. Chu. Mrs. Chu smiled and praised a few words like Lu Yixuan's talent, and then left Xinyang Houfu with Mrs. Li.
After getting into the carriage, Mrs. Chu couldn't help sighing: "It's no wonder that the eldest girl can come up with such a thing as filial piety and marriage by herself, this second son of Lu is really presentable." Mrs. Li was angry in her heart and didn't talk. Mrs. Chu looked at her like this, and suddenly felt bad, and patiently persuaded her: "Second sister-in-law, you should listen to my advice." Be patient, take care of the marriages of these girls, and the ancestors are also happy. Don't make anything go wrong, make the ancestor angry, and you won't be able to get over it. ”
Mrs. Li teased her unappreciatively and said, "What are you going to do about the marriage of the second girl?" ”
Mrs. Chu said: "If the second girl is not satisfied, I will choose her again." Although marriage pays attention to the life of parents and the words of matchmakers, we are not that small family, so we have to listen to the meaning of our daughters. The two surnames are married, if they are unwilling, no matter how satisfied we are, it is also a family of enemies! The matter of the eldest girl is done, and when she returns home after a while, the second sister-in-law admits her mistake with the ancestor, and the ancestor does not account for it. ”
Mrs. Li disdained that she always looked so dignified and awe-inspiring, and snorted perfunctorily.
Mrs. Chu suddenly felt embarrassed, until the two returned to the Yuguo Mansion, and they didn't say a word to each other.
At this time, Yang Qiqi had already returned to his Shuying Building, and heard that Mrs. Li and Mrs. Chu were confident that Yang Hou Mansion was back, and they were busy asking Zhuzhi to go to the courtyard of the Lord of Pingyang to inquire about the news.
"The eldest girl's marriage was completed by Mrs. Chu again. I heard that at that time, Mrs. Xinyang Hou was afraid that we would interfere with Lu Ergongzi's request for sealing, so she didn't dare to distinguish at all. When the 100-day festival is over, they will come to our house to deliver tokens, and it will be decided. The wedding still has to wait for the second son of Lu to take off. Zhuzhi replied carefully to Yang Qiqi what he heard.
Yang Qiqi couldn't help but secretly say, sure enough, it was destined to be married, and the eldest girl still wanted to marry the second son of the Lu family. It's just that the circumstances in this life are different from those in the previous life, and I don't know if the marriage of the eldest girl is good or bad.
Zhu Zhi smiled again: "The old ancestor also said that Mrs. Chu is capable, let Mrs. Li learn more." Before, the third girl was making trouble with the second girl, and wanted to give the third lady eye medicine to the ancestor. As a result, Mrs. Li's own ears were soft, and Baba ran to Xinyang Houfu to do such a thing. The third lady has nothing to do, but Mrs. Li is even more disgusted by the ancestors. ”
Yang Qiqi thought about it for a while, and said to Zhuzhi: "You want to find a way to pass the word to Yuguang Academy, so that the eldest girl knows why Mrs. Li is in such a hurry, regardless of her face, she has to settle this matter." ”
On the other side, Mrs. Li came back from the courtyard of the Lord of Pingyang, and her face was cloudy.
Li Kangping's family comforted Mrs. Li and said: "Thanks to this, this matter has been turned into a small matter, and a small matter has been turned into a small matter." The eldest girl's marriage can be regarded as decided. It's just that the third lady has gained face in front of the ancestors, and you don't know when you will be able to get your stewardship back. ”
"My days are still long, how many years can my ancestors live? And let her be relieved for a few years, and wait until she is gone. I'll see who still supports the third room! Mrs. Li had a scathing face and a vicious expression.
Hearing this, Li Kangping's spine was cold, and he looked around nervously, and said, "Madam! I can't say that. ”
Mrs. Li smiled sadly and whispered a few words to Li Kangping's family. Li Kangping's family listened to it, his face was like earth, and he trembled: "Madam, even if this matter is in the past, it will not do us any good if you do this." If you let the ancestors know......"
Mrs. Li sneered: "I can't let him know, isn't it all over if it's all buckled on the head of Xinyang Houfu?" ”
