Chapter 8: Luo Hua's Family Affairs (I)
The next day, when I asked Mrs. Zhao to mention Luohua's marriage, Mrs. Zhao was not very happy, but remembering that she was just a grandmother, and the marriage was still decided by her parents, Mrs. Zhao did not object, but reminded a few words in a deep voice, "You think that if you enter the prince's house, you will go to the rich township, and now most of these noble families are empty, talking about pomp and face, and the inside has actually been hollowed out, and it is not without greed for the daughter-in-law's dowry. Don't want to forge ahead, don't like to read, this is an only son is bound to be even more pampered, don't be happy too early, wait for your lord to inquire about the character of this child, don't listen to the wind is rain. ”
"How can the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyi be comparable to those princes who have no appearance, I heard the lord say that the Marquis of Zhongyi is a holy family, how can such a family calculate the dowry of their daughter-in-law." Sun pouted in her heart, her mother-in-law disagreed with her every time.
Old Madam Zhao frowned: "Then it's even more problematic, it's not that our Hua'er is not good, it's just that there are many third-grade officials like your lord in this capital, and there are also many princesses and viscounts. ”
Sun said: "This is also what my mother mentioned to me, and people didn't specify it as our family, but just released their style to the outside world, and my mother also thought that our sister Hua was of the right age." Mother Sister Hua is the daughter of our family, and she will definitely marry high in the future, if she can marry into the Hou Mansion, the girls in our family will be able to get her sister's help in the future. ”
Mrs. Zhao saw that she couldn't listen, and she didn't bother to care about her business, "That's it, the child is yours, and in the end, you still have to be your father's decision, today you told me, I also reminded you a few words, you go back and think about it again, don't let the rich and noble fans be dazzled." After speaking, he served tea.
Sun was thinking about the dowry for Luo Hua, Luo Hua was the eldest daughter and the only girl in the Zhao Mansion, if she married into the Hou Mansion again, the dowry would not be too much, not to mention that the silver was not spent on her own daughter, would it be cheaper for others in the future. Speaking of others, Sun's eyes looked at the Zhao family who was walking in front, and a spiritual light sat in his heart, yes, instead of letting their mothers eat and drink themselves in Zhao's mansion, it is better to find another family for this widow, the more Sun thinks about it, the happier he is, the more he thinks about it, the more he thinks about it, the more feasible it is, oops, so that the hot potato will change hands at once.
couldn't help but speed up her pace, let the maid go to the stables to prepare the carriage, she wanted to go back to her mother's house, she had to find her mother to get an idea about this.
Baozhi followed behind his mother, always felt that there was a line of sight staring at them behind him, and when he looked back, he saw his aunt walking quickly in the direction of the outer courtyard, although he felt strange but he didn't take it seriously, turned his head and continued to follow his mother slowly.
When it came to the palm lamp, Sun's spring breeze came back proudly, and she came back with Uncle Zhao, the news brought by Uncle Zhao was not so good, it turned out that the only son of the Zhongyi Marquis was named Cui Shaojie, although he was extremely handsome, but he didn't like to read, and he was a good match with a group of gentlemen who fought dogs and chickens all day.
Everyone here thought that the matter would be blown up, who knew that Sun returned to his mother's house in the afternoon to listen to the words of his mother's mother and brother-in-law, and had already communicated with the Hou Mansion to the news, and set to go to Fayuan Temple on the fifteenth day of this month to see each other, Mrs. Zhao was helpless, only said: "Since I have already said it to that family, then we will go to see each other together, and then only say that the two children have no chance to push it." ”
Seeing that he was making his own claims, her husband and mother-in-law had a slight dislike on their faces, and they had to promise slightly, but they were disdainful in their hearts, thinking that this Hou Mansion was a mountain of gold and silver, and it was okay for the children and grandchildren to squander it, but the poor family didn't have the strength to squander it.
Baozhi heard this matter but his heart was like a mirror, in the previous life, Luohua's cousin's family affair was formed, and finally ended up with a fate of being abandoned by Houmen, whether to help her in this life, but she is small and weak, and no one believes what she says, just take the matter of her brother going to the school, she blocked her brother left and right or went to the Guozijian. I haven't accomplished anything in this life. But she couldn't know that there was a fire pit in front of her and still watch Cousin Luohua jump in, how could she find a way to go with her in this Fayuan Temple.
That night, Bao Zhi pretended to have a nightmare, a night of nonsense, tossing in the middle of the night, Zhao was anxious, Song Mama gave the idea that it was probably evil, or how to start a nightmare, whether to let my sister go to the temple to burn pillar incense, Zhao thought for a while, "In a few days, it will be fifteen and let Sister Bao follow the old lady to Fayuan Temple It is very suitable, but this is for Sister Hua to see her mother-in-law's house, I am a widow can never go, and my sister is too tired to go alone with the old lady." ”
Mama Song sat on the small pestle and said with a smile: "Madame, don't worry, the cinnamon is all in order, let the cinnamon go with you when the time comes, if you are still not at ease, the old slave will also go with the girl, it will be no problem." ”
Zhao felt that it was feasible, nodded, and choked up: "There is Mama Lao, and now you are the only one who is my confidant." ”
Baozhi secretly blamed himself for being clever with his kind mother, and at the same time he was a little excited.
With the consent of his grandmother, Bao Zhi got up early on the fifteenth day to clean up, Yu Gui combed Bao Zhi with a well-behaved double flat bun, tied a goose yellow pearl hairband on both sides, wearing a ruyi cloud pattern shirt of the same color, and a white silk and emerald skirt, the whole person is elf and cute, and he went to his grandmother to say goodbye after breakfast, and Mrs. Zhao saw it and hugged her side and kissed her, and she loved it very much.
The outer courtyard has already prepared a carriage, everyone is packed up, Mrs. Zhao is served by Mother Li and Sun's one, Baozhi and Luohua's cousin are one, and the rest of the maids and mothers-in-law are one, Baozhi looks at Luohua's cousin and is distracted, today's Luohua is out of the crowd, wearing a moon-white embroidered gown, holding a cloud bun on his head, a red gold-inlaid gem butterfly on the hairpin, and a six-piece skirt embroidered by Xiangfei color, like a flower in the spring sun.
"My sister is so beautiful, even the fairy in the painting can't compare to you." Bao Yi's face was nymphomaniac, and he was just drooling.
Luo Hua was amused by the little sister's straightforward praise, and remembered that she had asked the maid to inquire in the past two days, and today she was actually going to show her her future in-laws, so she lowered her head and gently stroked the corners of her clothes, feeling shy, "Little girl, you also joked about your sister." He picked up the small teapot on the table and poured a cup of warm tea for Baozhi, "I have eaten early today, are you hungry, why don't you use a few more pastries and make a cushion." ”
"In the morning, my mother was afraid that I would be hungry on the road, so I had enough to eat, but now I am not hungry." Baozhi shook his head and took the teacup, and he was even more determined that he wanted to mess up this marriage and not let such a beautiful and kind sister fall into that thief's den.
"After a while, when we get to Fayuan Temple, you will follow me, and the maids and women around you will also follow the ones you know, don't walk around alone, if strangers lead you, you must not be able to follow you, do you know?" Luo Hua babbled and instructed.
Bao Zhi nodded vigorously, in order to show that he had listened and gave a sincere look.
