Chapter 10 The sedan chair is coming

Xue Zhao analyzed the pros and cons, and every sentence was reasonable, Xue Shi was immediately stunned, and Xia Ziwu was even more dumbfounded, the six gods had no master. This news is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for her full of hope.

"Impossible, right? It's just a fall from the second floor, where is it so serious? It will be raised for a few days and it will be restored. Xue Shi seemed to be comforting himself more.

"That's an inch! And what about those who fall and whimper, what's impossible? I heard that Meng Jinglun screamed in pain all the way, and when he arrived at Shilang's Mansion, he was not allowed to touch it. ”

General Xue was suspicious: "Can this be true? ”

"Can't you trust me, brother? The Meng family kept this matter secret, and did not let the people in the house make a noise, because they were afraid that there would be extraneous branches before the wedding. After hearing the news, I made a special trip to the Meng Mansion to find their porter, and it took twenty taels of silver to find out the exact news. ”

Before Xue Zhao finished speaking, Xia Ziwu was already slumped on the bed in frustration, her eyes straight and her gaze glazed.

Xue Shi was so sorry that he almost beat his chest: "Such a good marriage, the family and character are all impeccable, is it possible to break up like this?" ”

"What if you don't disperse? Could it be that this is how Ziwu will be happy for a lifetime? This broken leg is no better than anything else, maybe it is to let our daughter stay widowed for the rest of her life. ”

Xue Shi only felt that it was a state of confusion, and he almost couldn't catch it in one breath: "Then how is this good?" ”

As soon as Xia Ziwu stretched out his hand, he took off the phoenix crown on his head and slammed it to the ground, and the beads "jingle bell" rolled to the ground.

"What to do? What else can I do? A person with a good daughter, is it possible that he can still marry him a lame and paralyzed person? Widowhood for the rest of your life? Useless is a scholar, if he has no future interest, even if Lao Tzu is beautiful, what is the use? Won't her daughter be ridiculed for the rest of her life? ”

Xue Shi shouted "ancestor" repeatedly, picked up the phoenix crown on the ground, and the corners of his lips twitched in distress: "If you don't marry, you won't marry, what are you angry about?" Besides, the sedan chair is about to come to the door, do you say that if you don't marry, you won't marry? What do I do with your grandmother? Who will marry this divorced daughter's family in the future? It is difficult to climb such a marriage again. ”

Xia Ziwu was furious, and said nothing: "I don't care, I want to marry you, anyway, my daughter will not marry if she is killed." ”

Xue Zhao gave Xia Ziwu a thumbs up: "You see that you have lived for most of your life, how come you haven't seen the long term without my niece?" ”

Xue was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Should it be a playhouse?" Then do you know that if we take the initiative to break up this marriage, the bride price of the Meng family will be returned intact! Mother asked you to marry in order to be glamorous, but she has already spent a lot of money, where will you go temporarily? ”

"Money, money, money!, you only recognize money with full eyes, and your daughter's happiness doesn't matter, right?"

Xue Zhao on the side saw that the mother and daughter were fighting each other, making noise in a low voice and a high voice, and hurriedly played a round: "Be quieter, don't be listened to by outsiders." ”

Xia Ziwu was about to pull off her wedding dress regardless of it: "Anyway, this marriage was not originally a daughter's, even if she retreated, she would lose her Xia Anran's face, and she would resolutely not marry!" ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart, Xue Zhao frowned, and bad water came out of his heart: "Why did you forget this stubble?" Didn't Xia Anran's girl want to marry in her heart, she simply did what she wanted, she could not only climb up to the family business of the Shilang Mansion, but also get the dowry, and take care of her face, wouldn't she kill three birds with one stone. ”

He was very complacent about his idea, who would have expected that Shicai would still argue, and the mother and daughter, who almost turned their faces, retorted in unison: "No! ”

"Why?"

"Even if he Meng Jinglun is paralyzed, the glory of this Shilang Mansion is still there, I must not let that slut's daughter get such a benefit, and trample the two of Ziwu and Zixian under their feet in the future!"

Xue said indignantly.

"That is, it is best to find a beggar with pus on the soles of the feet and sores on the top of the head so that Hanako has fallen." Xia Ziwu also said with the same enemy: "Anyway, there can't be anything stronger than me." ”

It's a woman's opinion!

Xue Zhao was about to persuade, but suddenly there was a noisy bustle outside from far and near, and there were chaotic and hurried footsteps swarming towards the new house, and the girl Changjing knocked on the door outside and urged happily: "Madam, third miss, the sedan chair of Mengfu has arrived early." ”

The three people in the room were all taken aback, and looking at the sky outside, Xue couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Isn't it not the auspicious time yet?" ”

The matchmaker sent by the Meng family to pick up the relatives was surrounded and entered the courtyard, smiling very openly outside the door, and joy could get in along the crack in the door.

"The marriage time is in a hurry, and there are not many inconsiderate things, so we were urged to set off early, pick up the bride and carry a sedan chair around the capital to blow and blow the scenery for a week, and then enter the door to worship the church."

"The bridegroom is here too?" Xue Zhao asked tentatively through the door.

"No, according to the customs in this capital, the groom doesn't have to greet him in person."

This explanation is reasonable, but Xue Zhao suddenly muttered in his heart: "Sister, you see, the Meng family is obviously weak-hearted, and they are afraid that the wind will spread, so they are busy coming to greet their relatives." As long as our girl gets on the sedan chair, there will be no turning back. You say, "What are their intentions?" ”

Before the Xue family could speak, Xia Ziwu had already rushed forward, opened the door of the house, and screamed angrily at the crowd gathered outside: "Tell the person surnamed Meng that Miss Ben will not marry!" ”

Outside the house, in addition to the people who picked up relatives in the Meng Mansion, there were also guests who came to the Xia Mansion to congratulate them, Xia Ziwu shouted unscrupulously, which startled the Xue family, and hurriedly stepped forward to drag her back, closed the door with a "bang", and reprimanded her with a "crackle".

"It seems that your mother is too spoiled by you on weekdays, how can you be so willful? Aren't you afraid that this pungent reputation will spread out, and no one will come to the door to ask for marriage? ”

Xia Ziwu saw that her mother was still hesitant, and her nose was sore, and the tears immediately burst out of her eyes: "Anyway, if my mother insists on letting Ziwu get on the sedan chair today, Ziwu would rather become a monk and become a sister-in-law." ”

The Xue family couldn't see the grievances of their eldest daughter, so they immediately abandoned their weapons and surrendered: "If you don't marry, you won't marry, so you can't be so reckless, right?" We need to catch the handle of his Meng family, grind it slowly, and let his Meng family open his mouth first to propose to withdraw from his family, and the bride price, his Meng family will not want to take it back. ”

"The Meng family withdrew from my marriage? Wouldn't it be more unpleasant to hear when it was preached? Don't you even want your face for that little bride price? ”

Xia Ziwu and Xue immediately confronted each other and raised objections.

"This mother naturally has a way to make his Meng family dumb and eat coptis."

The Xue family calmed Xia Ziwu in a few words, stepped forward to open the door, sighed helplessly at the guests who were looking at each other outside, and smiled dryly at the matchmaker: "How can the groom not come to the door in person to marry, and the bride rushes into the door?" I don't blame my daughter for being so angry, doesn't she take our Xia family in her eyes? ”

The guests at the door exchanged heads and talked about it, although it was a low-married woman and a high-married woman, but this foreigner's mansion was matched with the waiter's mansion, how could it be that it was also a marriage with Gao Pan, this Mrs. Xia was confused? Unexpectedly, there are bones in the eggs, and such a problem is picked. In this capital, according to local customs, the bride is sent to the man's house by the woman's uncle and brother.

The matchmaker laughed curtly: "Mrs. Xia, how to handle this marriage, mother-in-law and I have broken legs on both sides, and we will explain everything clearly." As the saying goes, a hundred miles are not customary, and the groom in the capital is not welcome, only staying in the house to kick the sedan door. But you can say it clearly in advance, and you have no opinion, how can you get to this critical joint to change your hexagram? ”
