Chapter 245: Losing Face (I)

The mother-in-law who was arranged by Feng Lichang's family came back and said, "There is no movement on the Gu family's side. ”

Feng Lichang's family nodded, and still let the woman continue to star, and once there was news, he would come back immediately to tell him.

The mother-in-law said: "Sister, don't worry, yesterday the young lady refused the Gu family, and Ding Gu's family immediately became a footless crab, all relying on the ideas of the nurse around her, the nurse had already made up her mind, and she had to ask for some money for her master." ”

Feng Lichang's family said: "This matter should not be mentioned to the second person. ”

The mother-in-law said: "It's not the first time I've done an errand, I understand this truth, although we were in the Tao family before, now after all, we married the Xue family with the young lady, if it weren't for the young lady, we might not be able to feel better now." "In the Tao family, she is not favored by the eldest lady, and she only does some miscellaneous errands, that is, she is the companion of the young lady.

Feng Lichang's family nodded, and the mother-in-law hurriedly ate some food and went to the Tao family to inquire about the news, and it was not until the afternoon that the mother-in-law returned to the Xue Mansion.

Feng Lichang's family listened to the mother-in-law's words and went straight to Rong Hua to report.

Mu Hibiscus stepped forward and said, "Mother Feng is here." ”

Feng Lichang's family entered the house, stepped forward to salute Rong Hua, and saw that there was no one else on the left and right, so he whispered, "According to the etiquette, I should go to Changningbo Mansion tonight to step on the flower hall, but there is no movement at home." I asked people to pay more attention, and just now the mother-in-law came back and said that the old lady was not allowed to step on the flower hall. ”

I won't let you step on the flower hall.

Is it possible to marry directly tomorrow?

Feng Lichang's family said: "The new aunt can't come to greet his relatives, and I don't know how to arrange it." ”

Yaohua should have been prepared for this a long time ago, and in the name of "Chongxi", what good situation can be exchanged.

Rong Hua nodded and instructed Feng Lichang's family, "I won't go tomorrow, you go and give the gift money, just bring my words." ”

The young lady has made up her mind and will not care.

Feng Lichang's family responded and retreated.

……

Yaohua sat on the big kang by the window and read a book, her eyes stayed on the book, and she didn't read a word.

The things in the house were all moved out, and they were sent to Changningbo's Mansion early tomorrow morning, and the usual things around them disappeared all of a sudden, although they knew that they would be settled down tomorrow, they would still use it, and they were still a little panicked.

The marriage she obtained with her own hands did not make her very happy when it was approaching, but there was an inexplicable loss, and everything was not what she imagined.

She remembered that when Rong Hua got married, the sisters, sisters-in-law, and sisters-in-law of the family all came over to see Rong Hua in an endless stream, so her mother was a little unsatisfied, and she couldn't see it.

After all, it is inevitable that Rong Hua is married to be Mrs. Hou, but Yanhua, who married to the Meng family, is much better than her current situation.

When Yanhua got married, someone from the clan also came to Zhang Luo, and when it was her turn, no one from the clan came.

Mother was frightened and sick in bed last night, and the third aunt was uncomfortable and stayed in Sanmiao Hutong, and only Chen's mother was busy with a group of subordinates inside and out.

Xiangzhu entered the house and saw Yaohua who was frowning, and immediately said distressedly: "Second Miss still have a lot of rest, so that her complexion can be better tomorrow." The teacher in the house said that she was tired on the day of marriage, and the young lady was afraid that she would not be able to support her if she was weak. ”

Yaohua's eyes took off the book, "How is Mother's side?" ”

Xiangzhu replied: "It's much better, Chen's mother said that she just fell asleep." ”

Yaohua nodded.

Xiangzhu said: "When the slave came back, Mother Chen said, after a while, the eldest lady woke up, and she said to the eldest wife, why don't you step on the flower hall, even if the aunt is sick, the young lady is also a serious grandmother when she marries the past, how can it be reasonable if it is not arranged, and the young lady will not look good when she goes to her husband's house in the future, and she will fall into the hands of others." ”

As soon as Xiang Zhu said this, he only heard Jade say outside: "Mother Chen is here." ”

Xiangzhu hurriedly welcomed Chen's mother into the house.

Yaohua asked Jade to move the brocade. Chen's mother didn't sit down, just stood and replied: "Everything should be ready, I'll come over so that the young lady can rest assured, the eldest lady explained carefully, and the subordinates dare not have the slightest negligence." ”

Yaohua nodded reluctantly, and tears fell down as soon as her eyes glanced at her.

Compared with the previous young ladies before they got married, the second lady was indeed a little deserted in this room, Chen's mother hurriedly comforted, "Miss, don't worry, some things have not been decided, seeing that it is not dark yet, Mrs. said, after resting for a while, I will go to the old lady's house to discuss Miss's marriage, and I can't save anything that should be done, and our family has never had this rule." Besides, after all, it is to marry a big * milk, it is too simple, and Chang Ningbo's family still refuses to follow it. ”

Yaohua wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Mother's illness is all thanks to my mother's hard work. ”

Chen's mother said: "I'm afraid that I will wronged Miss by doing something inappropriate." ”

Yaohua's eyes were red, her lips were dry, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she was unusually sad and moving, "Mom, don't say that." ”

Chen's mother instructed Xiangzhu, "Serve the second lady well, and pass me over if there is anything." ”

Xiangzhu nodded and sent Chen's mother out.

As soon as Xiangzhu went out, a hot wind rolled up from outside and threw the curtain in the house high.

Yaohua couldn't help but feel a little stunned when she looked at the messy curtain.

Could it be that she chose the wrong one? If she chose Wu Muhou at that time, then now she is Mrs. Wu Muhou, and Rong Hua's scenery today is all hers. She's not going to have to swallow her anger today.

Yaohua was thinking about it, and suddenly heard Xiangzhu say in her ear: "Second Miss, don't think about it too much, it's always good things and grinding." ”

Good things are grinding. Yes, this game is only halfway through, and the final result has not yet been reached. Rong Hua seems to be married better, who knows what the future holds? Xue Houye is indifferent and doesn't know how to have a good future in the future, victory or defeat is just a matter of a moment, and you can't care too much about the present.

……

The eldest lady took a nap for a while, and the green glaze took the gargle tea to let the eldest lady rinse her mouth.

Although he rested, he was still tired and couldn't lift up any strength, especially the pain of the wound on his face cracking when he moved slightly.

Chen's mother was busy bringing ice packs to the eldest wife.

The eldest lady was more comfortable, and raised her eyes to look at Chen's mother, "How is the old lady over there?" ”

The eldest lady may not be happy to say something, but she still has to report it truthfully, Chen's mother said: "The old lady is in good spirits, and she wants to eat wild quails, so she sent someone out to buy them, and she ate two in one breath just now." ”

She was seriously ill, and the old lady's illness was cured. The eldest lady had a split of breath in her throat, and she couldn't help coughing, "Yaohua...... Cough...... How is Yaohua? ”

Chen's mother said: "The slave maid went to see it, and the second lady seemed to be a little scared," said to comfort the eldest lady, "It wasn't like this before I got married, after all, I went out from my mother's house, and I don't know what will happen to my husband's family." ”

The eldest lady's expression sank, "Whoever marries her daughter must do her best to be as good as possible, this is the face of her husband's family." said that it was to marry a daughter, and we didn't have to pay back more than the dowry given by the man's family, so as not to make the daughter's face dull when she arrived at her husband's house. The old lady was confused to this point, and the dowry was compared to Rong Hua, not to mention, and she didn't even let her step on the flower hall. ”

When the eighth aunt and grandmother got married, the dowry was not more than the dowry of the Xue family. The eldest lady meant to keep as much as possible for the second lady in the future. In this way, the second lady has a rich dowry, no matter where she marries, it is beautiful, who knows that the old lady will say in front of the two old ladies in the clan that the second lady's dowry cannot overpower the eighth aunt and grandmother.

It's just such a sentence, and the dowry that the eldest lady prepared for the second lady earlier can't be used. If the eldest lady does not listen to the old lady, the clan will inevitably be investigated in the future, and the reputation of unfilial piety will not be borne by the eldest wife.

The eldest lady struggled to get up, "Go and get someone to carry me to the old lady." ”

Chen's mother stepped forward to help the eldest lady, "Mrs. still rests more, the hour is still early, it's not too late to go in a while, I'll let people arrange it first, prepare things properly, as long as the old lady nods, I will send my daughter-in-law over." ”

The eldest lady shook her head, "It's better to do these things as soon as possible." ”

Mother Chen couldn't persuade her, so she called a maid to serve and arranged her shoulders by herself.

The eldest lady entered the house, and the old lady leaned on the ginger pillow to play with Rui Qing on the rope, and let the maid burn some spices.

Rui Qing was about to step forward and salute, but the old lady smiled and said, "Let me turn it over first." ”

The old lady turned over the rope, and Rui Qing stepped forward to salute the eldest lady.

The eldest lady nodded, and let people support the old lady and salute her.

The old lady smiled kindly, as if she had forgotten all about scolding the eldest lady yesterday, and asked the eldest lady to sit down next to her, "You are not in good health, and you were startled yesterday, why didn't you rest in the house, but came to me?" ”

The eldest lady was just about to open her mouth, but she couldn't help coughing when she was smoked by the incense, and only stopped covering her chest for a while, hurriedly wiped her tears with a silk, and carefully gasped for a while before speaking in a nasal voice, "Yaohua is going to get married tomorrow, I think it's better to let my daughter-in-law go to Chang Ningbo's house to step on the flower hall, after all, it's an old custom, and I can't just ......."

When the old lady heard this, she lost interest in turning the rope, lowered her hand and said, "Didn't I think about it when you said this?" It's just that I stepped on the flower hall to ask my uncle to answer, and now my uncle is sick like that, who will Yaohua's things be given to? Since there is no uncle to give a gift, why should our family let people go. ”

The eldest lady was having a splitting headache after being frightened last night, and the old lady's words made her have no room for strong arguments, and she didn't know what to do, the old lady said again: "It was a good marriage but it has been done like this, what else is there to say?" Even if you welcome your relatives tomorrow, you don't know who Chang Ningbo's family wants, how can this family welcome the law? Isn't it to disgrace our girl? Since you have the heart to ask me, I will tell me what I mean, you send someone to Changningbo Mansion, if your uncle can't come, you don't have to welcome it, and when it comes to the auspicious time, let the matchmaker follow the sedan chair and quietly do it. ”

The eldest lady trembled in her heart, "This...... How to do ......"
