Chapter 307: Explanation (I)
“…… The eighth day of the first month of April is the grand ceremony of Buddhism, each Zen temple will administer medicine, the crowd is crowded, noisy and noisy. The second lady said slowly with a teacup, "But every year I go to the Yaowang Temple to offer incense, but because the second master died of a sudden illness, my mother was terrified, and I wanted to ask the Yaowang to bless the whole family to clean up a little thought of Tai'an." I came here to discuss with Master Hou and my younger siblings. If my mother wants to go to Yaowang Temple to offer incense this year, we who are juniors are naturally not disobedient, but if we go to other Zen temples, I also ask Hou Ye and my younger siblings to help persuade her. ”
Eleven Niang couldn't hide her surprise and looked at the second lady.
Was she telling them that she didn't approve of the marriage?
But wasn't she very active in this matter before? Why has everything changed now?
Eleven Niang couldn't help but look at Xu Lingyi.
Xu Lingyi's expression was as usual. He nodded slightly: "I understand what the second sister-in-law means." ”
When the second lady heard this, she nodded to Shi Niang, got up and said goodbye.
Eleven Niang sent the second lady out.
Yuuka immediately followed.
"Madam," she whispered, "what does Master Hou say?" ”
The second lady did not make a sound, and walked straight on the verandah, and when she saw her maid and daughter-in-law, she avoided her one after another, and respectfully bent her knees to salute her.
She suddenly stopped at a corner of the verandah.
"The sister-in-law did such a rebellious thing, and she wanted to marry Roune, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for Mrs. Tai, Lord Hou and the fourth lady to like it." The second lady looked at the pomegranate tree full of green leaves in front of the railing and said softly, "Rather than this, it is better to do it at this point, it is not a good thing!" ”
Yuuka couldn't help but sigh slightly when she heard this: "It would be nice if my uncle and grandmother went to Ciyuan Temple!" Lest you be embarrassed, Miss Er! ”
"If she can be so calm, my mother will not be angry with her like that." The second lady didn't have a smile on her face, "I still wanted to take care of her affairs, but who knew that as soon as she heard that I had returned to her parents' house, she immediately sent the little girl over and asked the eldest brother to leave in the name of the old lady of the Gao family." I don't want my eldest brother to be embarrassed, saying that the family is doing things for Yuan Niang and wants me to help, so I persuaded my eldest brother to go to the Gao family......" said, smiling self-deprecatingly, "I'm afraid that Mrs. Tai and Master Hou will reluctantly agree to this marriage for my sake." Now that the words have been explained, the sister-in-law can make trouble as much as she wants! As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards Shaohua Courtyard.
Over there, Eleven Niang wanted to speak and stopped.
Xu Lingyi smiled: "What do you want to say?" ”
Eleven Niang glanced at him: "Master Hou is like a mirror in his heart, and he wants me to say it!" ”
Xu Lingyi laughed when she heard this.
After a while, he said with a straight face: "The second sister-in-law is the heaviest promise." Mrs. Xiang is easy to reverse, but she is afraid that she will be despised by her second sister-in-law. It's my sister-in-law again, I'm afraid we will misunderstand. So to show us a tact! And he said, "Didn't you just worry about not being able to explain to your mother?" I think you might as well tell her the meaning of your second sister-in-law to her old man. Without the worry of the second sister-in-law, I can feel at ease if I want to come to my mother! ”
Eleven Niang nodded. took advantage of the lunch break to serve Mrs. Tai and told Mrs. Tai about this matter and Xu Lingyi's attitude.
Mrs. Tai was a little stunned when she heard this: "After you left, Yizhen also told me so." I'm still a little hesitant. Unexpectedly, she went to look for you again. It seems that she has made up her mind. In that case, let me go to the Medicine King Temple this year, right? simply told the Xiang family clearly. ”
Eleven Niang nodded and went back to talk back to Xu Lingyi. Xu Lingyi sent someone to call Xu Lingkuan back and asked him to go to the Yaowang Temple to offer incense when he was the eighth day of the first year. He was startled when he heard this, and thought that Mrs. Tai was sick, so he ran to Mrs. Tai and looked up and down, and saw that Mrs. Tai was safe and sound, so he was relieved to return to the red light alley. And Mrs. Xiang knew that Mrs. Tai was not going to the temple fair on the eighth day of the new year, so she visited again.
"You go to Yaowang Temple to offer incense at this time of year, it won't be because of my rudeness in Ciyuan Temple that annoyed me, so you don't go to the temple fair!" Mrs. Xiang was blunt.
Mrs. Tai naturally didn't respond to "yes", and said implicitly: "I didn't go because I was young and couldn't stand the fatigue of driving and horses!" ”
Who knew that Mrs. Xiang's expression darkened when she heard this, and she said in a low voice: "Mrs. Xiang doesn't have to coax me." I know that everyone is blaming me for being reckless. Even our aunt and grandmother also shared a lot with me about this matter. She said, the corners of her eyes reddened, "But I also feel wronged!" As he spoke, he took out his handkerchief and began to weep.
Eleven Niang hurriedly dispatched the servants in the house and poured her a cup of hot tea.
Mrs. Xiang thanked Shi Niang in a low voice, and said with sobs: "I thought that I would come to apologize to you, and when I took the initiative to make an appointment to see each other, this matter would pass." Who knows, you're really annoying me. I have no choice but to tell you about that shame now. As she spoke, she looked up at Mrs. Tai, "Do you know why I didn't go to Ciyuan Temple?" Without waiting for Mrs. Tai to say anything, she said, "Our lord and our aunt and grandmother directly decided the marriage, and they didn't ask me!" ”
Eleven Niang looked at Mrs. Xiang in astonishment.
How can one or two be like this?
Mrs. Tai was also surprised to hear this.
Mrs. Xiang wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "I am the daughter-in-law of their Xiang family's famous matchmaker, but I am pregnant in October and worked hard to raise such a big baby daughter, but our master didn't ask me, so it was decided." You say, how can I not be angry? She looked very angry, "Plus this kind of thing is not once or twice, I have endured it before, but this time, I can't bear it no matter what." In a fit of anger, he took the child back to his parents' house. ”
Mrs. Tai thought about what had happened in the past few days, but it also coincided. comforted her and said, "This matter is wrong with Lord Xiang!" ”
"Not really!" Mrs. Xiang listened as if she had found a soulmate, glanced at Mrs. Xiang gratefully, and said, "After my sister-in-law found out, she was anxious and angry, and she was sick. I was even more resentful in my heart, and I got angry with the master. I didn't even send him off when the master went to office...... Otherwise, the last time you asked me about my master's appointment, why couldn't I answer! ”
Eleven Niang and Mrs. Tai couldn't help but widen their eyes.
didn't even send Lord Xiang to his post...... That's a bit too much!
Mrs. Xiang also looked ashamed: "I also know that I have gone a little too far in this matter." It's just that I was angry at the time, and I couldn't think about it for a while. Later, my sister-in-law gave me a hard beating, and I came to my senses. I came to apologize to Mrs. Tai and my aunt. She said, her voice gradually lowered, "What is shameless, I didn't tell you in detail last time I came." Who knows, you didn't go to the Yaowang Temple to incense this year......" she said, her face flushed with shame, "A thousand mistakes are all my fault." Please also ask Mrs. Tai to forgive me for the sake of our aunt and grandmother. Tomorrow let me be the host and go to the house for a glass of water and wine. ”
Speaking of which, it was the second lady's sister-in-law, and Mrs. Tai couldn't help but look at Eleven Niang with some hesitation.
Seeing that Mrs. Xiang had already forgiven Mrs. Xiang, Eleven Niang naturally didn't want to say much. smiled and bowed his head slightly, indicating that he would look at Mrs. Tai's horse.
Mrs. Tai's heart was relieved.
After all, they are relatives, so there is no need to hold on.
She smiled: "Mrs. Xiang is polite. It's just that there are a lot of things to do at home these days. I think it's better to have another day! "I didn't say yes right away.
This kind of diplomatic rhetoric is familiar to Mrs. Xiang. She said very sincerely: "Then you can set a date!" I'll be in Yenching this year. ”
The posture is so low. Mrs. Tai and Eleven Niang couldn't refuse, and decided to go to Xiangfu as guests in three days.
Mrs. Xiang whispered to Mrs. Xiang: "You can persuade our aunt and grandmother to come together at that time." Our aunt and grandmother are still angry with me. The last time I saw me, I was cold-spoken. I'm too embarrassed to see her! ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Mrs. Tai's eyes, and she said, "As long as my uncle and grandmother don't dislike us for eating too many people!" ”
Mrs. Xiang immediately became happy when she heard this, and said continuously: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it!" ”
And so it was settled.
The second lady couldn't help but be surprised when she knew it: "Please come to the house for dinner?" ”
Mrs. Tai nodded: "I see that my uncle and grandmother are very sincere, so I agreed for you." There was a hint of persuasion in his tone.
The second lady remained silent.
And when Eleven Niang told Xu Lingyi about this, Xu Lingyi was a little dumbfounded.
Eleven Niang naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to go through the old accounts, just ask him what to do about this?
Xu Lingyi groaned: "Even if there are any plans, it is not this time. "Not very enthusiastic," he said, "Just walk around with each other!" ”
Eleven Niang nodded and went back to Mrs. Tai.
"It's good!" Mrs. Tai said, "It's best to be a guest at this time." You can take a look at the two young ladies of the Xiang family, but because your sister has not yet come out of service, you can't talk about this matter because of your feelings. Saying that, Mrs. Xiang sighed, "Mrs. Xiang is very sincere this time. ”
Eleven Niang smiled and said "um".
Mrs. Tai didn't ask any more questions, and asked about the full moon ceremony of Wu Niang's child: "...... Can you take a milk name? ”
"Taken!" Eleven Niang smiled, "Saying that the five elements are short of gold, I called Xin!" ”
Mrs. Tai laughed when she heard this: "Their family has a lot of money!" ”
"Not really!" Eleven Niang smiled and talked to Mrs. Tai about Wu Niang's child.
At this moment, Mrs. Gao was asking Mrs. Xiang, "What?" Can you move? ”
Mrs. Xiang nodded: "I can't help but lower my voice!" ”
Mrs. Gao glared at her when she heard this: "If you didn't know the severity, would you have today?" ”
Mrs. Xiang was still stiff-mouthed: "Could it be that our family has no one to marry except for the Xu family?" ”
"Yes!" Mrs. Gao said, "It's just that you first missed the appointment and ran back to your parents' house with the child, and then when your aunt and grandmother came to visit her, you didn't know how to let her stand outside, and when she returned to her parents' house, you also called your aunt in the name of your father, and only let Yijia see your uncle off when your aunt went to work...... When my uncle knows that the Yongping Hou family refuses to marry, I am afraid that these accounts will be settled with you one by one! The light is to leave you in Yanjing and ignore you. You say, did you invite Mrs. Xu Jiatai and Mrs. Yongping Hou to your house for a meal, and then let go of your old suspicions with your uncle? Or do you want to live alone with your children in Yanjing from now on? ”
Mrs. Xiang stopped talking!
