144 Women's means and men's means (2)
Lin Jiaojiao waved her hand and said to Qiyi, "The new winter coat that my sister-in-law made for me is not on yet, you let Sister Liu pick a set and wear it first."
Lin Ruliu went to the room with Qiyi to wash and change clothes, and Lin Jiaojiao invited Qisan to ask what happened.
Qisan couldn't say clearly, only that Huo Xuanzhi and Huo Ningzhi's brothers suddenly came to the door when it was almost dark, asking to see the patriarch of the Lin clan and Lin Ruliu's cousin, and said that before two quarters of an hour, several people went to see Mrs. Jinxiang Hou together, and after talking again, they went to Lin Ruliu's courtyard.
This is obviously a trick played by the Huo family brothers, Lin Jiaojiao is a little curious, what method did the Huo family brothers use to make the Lin family with such a resolute attitude change their minds in such a short period of time.
After a while, Qiyi came over and said in a low voice, "Girl, Miss Lin said that the jewelry she was wearing did not match the girl's clothes, and she wanted to ask the girl to lend her some jewelry."
Lin Jiaojiao nodded indifferently, and Qiyi complained dissatisfiedly, "Girl, you don't know, there are so many clothes, Miss Liu picked the most expensive one, she wore it, can the girl come back with her and wear it again?"
also said that he wanted to borrow the girl's fox fur to wear it for a while! The slave and maid pushed it directly, saying that the fox fur was a good thing, and the lady did not allow the girl to mess around, and now she had to borrow jewelry from the girl! Why is she so big in face! β
Lin Jiaojiao smiled and waved her hand, "She's going to get married, just a set of clothes, let's not worry about her, the clothes will come back, but the jewelry can come back, you remember."
Qiyi's face was a little better, and he entered the room again, and after a while, he came out with the newly dressed Lin Ruliu.
Lin Ruliu picked the most valuable set, a carmine dotted red gold thread satin jacket, and a red densely woven gold thread acacia flower skirt with water shadow, the gold thread is all real and unambiguous real gold!
The jewelry is even more picked, Lin Jiaojiao put on the dresser, the most luxurious one of the red gold silk Danfeng, with four Ming jewelry knots in her mouth.
This kind of dress naturally looks good on Lin Jiaojiao, who has a bright appearance, but Lin Ruliu's jasper temperament can't support this luxurious style of clothes, but is robbed of the beautiful and gentle demeanor that she should have.
Lin Ruliu stepped forward and called her sister, well, sure enough, after the crisis, Lin Ruliu returned to her usual pretentious appearance that she couldn't look like.
"Thank you sister for your kindness, if my sister is fine, why don't you go with me to be stubborn?"
Lin Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows, "I have something."
I want her to support her face, and she still says it so high-sounding, like a big human favor, when she is stupid?
Lin Ruliu choked, was silent, and begged, "Sister, I'm a little scared, if my sister doesn't have anything important, just accompany me, right?" β
Lin Jiaojiao slowly swept her skirt with the book in her hand, "Since Sister Liu said so, I will accompany Sister Liu for a trip."
Lin Ruliu thanked her repeatedly, she should have counted it in her heart, and she didn't speak again along the way.
In Lin Ruliu's yard, Mrs. Jinxiang Hou had been waiting for a while, and she was extremely impatient, and finally waited for it to come, and when she saw that Lin Jiaojiao was also coming, she was even more dissatisfied, and said, "On such a cold day, what are you doing with it?" What should I do if I freeze? β
She said Lin Jiaojiao in her mouth, but her dissatisfied eyes fell on Lin Ruliu.
Lin Ruliu hung her head, she didn't know if she noticed it, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.
Lin Jiaojiao saluted everyone first, and then leaned to Mrs. Jinxianghou, "Sister-in-law, where am I strong, where can I freeze these few steps?" β
Mrs. Jinxiang Hou glared at her, warmed her hands with her hands, and didn't speak again, the patriarch of the Lin clan coughed and said, "Sister Liu, today Uncle Huo asked General Huo to come to the Hou Mansion in person to propose marriage, full of sincerity, we discussed it carefully, and really pity Uncle Huo's sincerity, so we decided on the family matter, now come and ask what you mean."
Lin Ruliu hung her head, her face was flushed, and she said softly, "Marriage is naturally the life of the elders."
Patriarch Lin touched his beard with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Sure enough, it's a filial girl, Uncle Huo, it's not me who brags about my own girl, our Sister Liu has been smart and sensible since she was a child, and when she grows up, she is even more of a good heart, and everyone praises her!" β
Huo Xuanzhi stood up and saluted, "The younger generation understands, thank you for the success of the patriarch."
Patriarch Lin waved his hand, "Then the matter will be decided first, although it is in a hurry to get married in the hot filial piety, and the time is relatively rushed, but the etiquette that should be there is no less, our Lin family's girl can bear anything, but she can't bear the grievances."
Huo Xuanzhi saluted again, "The younger generation understands, the patriarch can rest assured."
The two said a few more clichΓ©s, and Patriarch Lin said, "It's not too early, I'll get here here today, and if I have something, I'll invite the big media to come over tomorrow."
Mrs. Jinxiang Hou spoke, "Patriarch, Sister Liu has been to our house for a while, originally we picked her up to accompany Jiaojiaoer to study, but now Jiaojiaoer has achieved nothing in her studies, Sister Liu has found a wishful lover, but I, as an elder, am very reluctant."
As soon as she said this, Lu's face immediately changed, Lin Ruliu's face was even pale, Mrs. Jinxiang Hou blatantly said that she didn't abide by women's morals!
"Only she also accompanied Jiaojiaoer to read this book for a long time, there is no credit and hard work, and I will naturally not treat her badly as an elder, so I have a small Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, so I gave Sister Liu as a dowry, which is not only to thank her for accompanying Jiaojiaoer to read for a year, but also to complete her fate with our family, just when she gets married and returns to the door there is also a place to stay, the best of all three."
This is not at all ready to let her marry from the Marquis of Jinxiang!
Married from the Jinxiang Hou Mansion, she is the cousin of the Jinxiang Hou Mansion! Who remembers her humble origins?
But if she marries from Zhuangzi in the suburbs, she will only be a side branch of the Lin family's decline, and who will buy her account in the entire capital, even the people of the Huo family?
Lin Ruliu knelt down and shouted in a scorching voice, "Madam-"
Mrs. Jinxianghou leaned over and grabbed her, smiled and said, "Yo, the girl's family is a delicate guest, even if you are grateful, you are not allowed to do this."
She had a smile on her face, but there was a hint of deterrence in her eyes, Lin Ruliu was used to seeing her kind and pleasant appearance, and she was speechless in shock for a while.
As soon as Lu Shi stretched out his hand, he wiped his tears, and was about to get up, when Huo Ningzhi, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Then it's decided, I heard that Liulang and Seventh Sister have been planning to go back to Fengxue City for the New Year, but it's not good to delay because of my Huo family's affairs, now it's winter, and if you delay it again, I'm afraid that it will be dangerous on the road."
These words completely drew a line between Lin Ruliu and the Marquis of Jinxiang.
Mrs. Jinxiang Hou obviously didn't expect him to say this, and looked at him in surprise, but she naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity, so she smiled and said, "Then thank you General Huo for your thoughtfulness."
Lin Ruliu's tears were stuck in his eyes, let's go out, that is, to delay the trip of everyone in Jinxiang Houfu, and try his best to make everyone in Jinxiang Houfu "dangerous", let's hold it in, and I really panic.
