Chapter 9 Something Happened to the Meng Family
The hedgehog on the ground let out two rough "cough-cough" sounds, like the old man's cough and panting with bellows in his throat.
An Sheng couldn't help but smile: "I'm afraid that I've been fed too much salt, why are I still coughing?" ”
An Ran caressed his heart, still palpitating: "Don't say it, it's just scared me to death, this little thing's hoarse voice is not like yours, Shicai's mother came to check in person, and she was suspicious in her heart, and I was shocked into a cold sweat, and I didn't dare to stop it, so I came into the house." ”
An Shenghun didn't care: "Didn't I explain to you, if I asked, I said that I hurt my throat, and I covered the quilt and sweated, so it was naturally dull." ”
An Ran shook his head again and again: "That's what I said, my mother didn't believe it, and opened a crack in the tent, thanks to this little thing being frightened and restless, struggling and squirming twice in a pile of quilts." The mother was afraid of being infected, so she didn't study it in detail, so she replied with a few words of advice. ”
An Sheng was completely relieved at this time, and whispered a few words to An Ran, joking that she was ready to get married in advance, and Mo Xian got on the sedan chair and pierced her ears and eyes, and then she messed up.
Laughing and laughing, the two sisters had a reluctant feeling again, and An Ran couldn't help but shed tears, and couldn't rest assured of An Sheng, and hesitated and couldn't give up.
An Sheng pretended to be relaxed, but he had another plan in his heart, and now it seems that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, just waiting for tomorrow dawn to watch a good show!
It's just that can fate really be reversed? Will it deviate from the trajectory and then end up in the same place? She didn't know what to do.
If there are extraneous branches, or the Xue family is not in the plan, how to deal with it, they must be considered thoroughly, for the sake of my sister's safety, it is really painstaking, and it is difficult to sleep.
Xia Mansion stayed up all night long, which is the so-called joy and sorrow.
Xue respectfully welcomed Mrs. Qi into the mansion, waited with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, picked a key place for Xia Ziwu's marriage to return to her mother-in-law, and took Mrs. Qi to inspect the dowry of the Meng Mansion, Ziwu's dowry, and the menu of hospitality.
Old Madam Qi sat down, handed over the makeup jewelry brought to Ziwu to the Xue family, and then split her head and covered her face with a critical accusation, as if she was picking a bone in an egg.
Mrs. Qi didn't look down on the Xue family's broken background, because the Xue family gave birth to Zihuan, a single seedling for Xia Erye, and it was difficult to welcome her into the door, but she was quite picky on weekdays, always with a nose that was not a nose, and a face that was not a face.
Xue endured it with all his breath, and tossed until midnight before he was ready, lying in his clothes, and sleepy.
The second day was to get up early again, and I was busy all morning with trivial things, and I was sent to the place, my brain was a little dizzy, and my right eyelid jumped.
She pulled a little bit of white paper and dipped it in saliva and stuck it on her eyelids, thinking that there was still more than an hour before the Mengfu sedan chair came to the door, and she hadn't bothered to take a look at Ziwu's room. In some words, before the girl gets married, she must mention some advice as a mother.
She went back to her room, opened the suitcase, rummaged through the bottom of the box to find the treasure at the bottom of the box, wrapped it tightly with a handkerchief, and went straight to the purple boudoir.
Xia Ziwu has been staying in her boudoir with longing, wearing a bright red phoenix crown and a xia veil, lightly sweeping the eyebrows, lightly dyeing rouge, skillfully dotting the lips, and delicately depicting it.
Many elders pushed the door in, praised her critically, said many auspicious words, and then left happily.
She was proud, proud, shy, and had the consummation in her heart that she had finally stepped on Ansheng safely.
The door was pushed open again, and the mother Xue came in happily, waving her hand and retreating from the servants who were waiting: "You are guarding the outer room, and no one is allowed to come in." ”
The subordinates all retreated with interest, and the Xue family sat down in front of Xia Ziwu, looked at it for a while, and taught a few words about the way of the in-laws and sisters-in-law in the house, and then mysteriously took out the treasure at the bottom of the box from the sleeve.
It was a pomegranate carved from white jade with cinnabar on the top, Xue raised his hand, and it was divided into two, but there was a lot of things inside. At the bottom of the box lie two red and striped villains embracing each other, which is the way of men and women who demonstrate.
Xia Ziwu immediately woke up, hooked her head, peeked at her eyes, and her face was hot.
Xue was about to open his mouth and click carefully, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the courtyard, and the door of the house was slammed from the outside.
"Who?"
Xue asked dissatisfiedly.
"Sister, open the door quickly, something is wrong!"
The people outside the door shouted loudly.
Xue heard the voice, it was none other than his maiden brother Xue Zhao.
Xue Zhao is a scoundrel who everyone scolds, but he is the backbone of the Xue family, and he will always discuss major and minor matters in the mansion. Including this Ziwu marriage, Xue Zhao had planned for her two years earlier. Today's Ziwu wedding, as his maternal uncle, he is responsible for the marriage.
Xue stood up, Xia Ziwu snatched the pomegranate jade box in her hand, and hurriedly hid it under the brocade quilt. The Xue family stepped forward to open the door, and Xue Zhao rushed in.
She took two steps back in a row and stood still, and teased unceremoniously: "You are so anxious, aren't you in a hurry to be reincarnated?" ”
Xue Zhao stomped his foot fiercely, not caring about Ziwu's presence: "Oh, my good sister, you still have leisure and jokes, something big has happened to the Meng family!" ”
Xue's heart was beating for a while, and his right eyelid began to tremble uncontrollably, and his throat smoked.
"What's the matter?" Xia Ziwu asked nervously.
Xue Zhao stretched his neck, grabbed the teapot from the table, poured a bowl of herbal tea, and poured it down in one go: "I ran all morning to inquire about this." But I'm tired of my brother! ”
Xue was so anxious that he grabbed Xue Zhao's sleeve: "You should say it quickly, what are you selling!" ”
Xue Zhao moistened his throat, glanced at Ziwu, and simply didn't hide it, and said straight to the point: "Last night, the eldest son of the Meng family and several classmates went to the drunken building to have fun, and accidentally fell down from the upstairs and broke his leg!" ”
"What?"
Xia Ziwu's heart trembled in shock: "Impossible! ”
"When I first heard the news, I thought it was incredible. After all, the eldest prince of Mengfu is a rule-abiding person on weekdays, and he is afraid that he will not squint when he passes in front of the Qinglou. How did such a ridiculous thing come about? ”
Xue Zhao paused for a moment and continued: "So today, the drunken building has not yet opened its doors to entertain guests, so I immediately went in a hurry and inquired about the situation in detail with the turtle man inside, and it was indeed true." At that time, many people in the drunken building witnessed that he Meng Jinglun was molesting the girl and rolled down the steps on the second floor. At that time, he couldn't move, and it was several classmates of his company who carried him into a carriage and sent him back to Mengfu. ”
Xue's heart seemed to have been kicked hard by a donkey, and his heart, liver and lungs trembled. She slapped her thigh and scolded angrily: "Those who have suffered a thousand knives are going to marry my daughter tomorrow, and if they don't stop, they will toss such a disaster, where will the face of our house follow?" ”
"Oh, my good sister, when is it, what kind of shameless problem do you still care about?"
"People want to face trees and bark, and the sedan chair will come to the door after a while, and the discussion of relatives and friends will be embarrassing."
Xue Zhao spun around twice in place, and said urgently: "Are you still planning to marry my eldest niece to the Meng family?" ”
Xue was stunned: "Why don't you get married?" ”
Xue Zhao sighed twice: "Think about it, if Meng Jinglun broke his leg, even if he was properly treated in the later stage and would not be paralyzed on the bed, it would be bad for his work, and his career would be ruined." What else can you expect him to make in the court? How kind of character is our niece one in a hundred, even if she can't marry a dignitary, it has to be neat and tidy, right? ”
