Chapter 266: Asking for Marriage
At noon, He's beat the monastery and returned to the house, and went straight to the upper room to see Nalan Rongruo's grandmother, Mrs. Nalan.
Seeing her daughter-in-law come back, the old lady hurriedly asked, "Is everything going well?" ”
He Shi went to the temple to repay the vows for Mrs. Nalan today, and first gave a gift to her mother-in-law, and said: "The blessing of the Buddha and Bodhisattva, everything is fine, you can rest assured." ”
Mrs. Nalan was snorting the hookah, then put down her cigarette pouch and sighed, "That's good." ”
Heshi knew that she was worried about her grandson, Nalan Rongruo died in childbirth a few years ago, which made him slump, and continued to be an official, but he could no longer find the feeling of harmony with the original Lu family, so he became depressed, plus he had no intention of career, tired of those false and false entertainment in the officialdom, and had to face the snake with a false face, and he was even more bitter and unbooked, so he was in a bad mood.
Heshi persuaded Mrs. Nalan: "Dong Lang is getting older day by day, and he will always understand that he is a person in the world, and things are often unsatisfactory, and gradually he understands it, and he suddenly understands." ”
Dong Lang, Nalan Rongruo's milk name, because he was born in the wax moon.
Old Madam Nalan only said, "I hope so." ”
Heshi suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "When I went out today, I met a girl who came to see Donglang, hey, that girl has a good look, but she is a character that we don't have in our house." ”
Old Madam Nalan was very surprised when she heard this: "Really? ”
He's said about meeting Yugo, and added at the end: "The daughter-in-law sees that the girl is also familiar with Donglang, otherwise how can she come to the door to find it, it's just that the other party has a family background, but there is a marriage match, but this daughter-in-law doesn't know, she needs to ask Donglang." ”
As she was talking, the girl came in and reported: "Old lady, the uncle is here." ”
Nalan Rongruo supported the two girls, limped in, and gave a gift to her grandmother first, and the old lady Nalan beckoned: "Come and sit next to me, you have an injury on your foot, don't come to see me." ”
Nalan Rongruo sat down next to his grandmother and said, "Such a big man, it's just a broken foot, it's okay, I shouldn't be bad today, I should come over to accompany you to grow old." ”
The old lady Nalan shouted that the girl served tea to her grandson, and the girl took a soft pillow to pad her grandson's feet, and was busy working, when she found that He's gave her a look, and immediately understood what was going on, so she asked: "I heard that a girl came to you today, whose family?" How old is it? Did you make a promise? How did you meet? ”
I asked a few questions in one breath, and Hearst was a little embarrassed.
Nalan Rongruo also smiled embarrassedly: "The old lady is talking about the jade girl, her father is the former imperial envoy Yu Gengru, you have always heard of this person, as for how old is she?" It's about the same as Su Yun, sixteen or seventeen, or eighteen, she doesn't have Xu's mother-in-law's house, I know her, I went out to patrol with the holy car last year, when the long live lord was stationed in her house, and I didn't see anyone who looked up, and I knew it. ”
Grandmother's questions were answered.
Old Madam Nalan was very curious: "She is an outsider?" Why did the emperor live in her house when he went out to patrol the customs? Isn't there a post house? And what about the yamen? ”
The entanglement between Yugo and Kangxi, Nalan Rongruo knew something, it was inconvenient to gossip behind his back, and he didn't dare to talk about the emperor, so he had to say vaguely: "At that time, the co-consul's mansion was burned down by a fire, and it was stationed in the Yu family, probably because the jade girl's father and daughter had profound medical skills, so as to ensure the safety of the saint." ”
Old Mrs. Nalan nodded: "That's right, Miss Yu came to see you, it can be seen that you are not ordinary, if she has a heart for you, it is better to accept it, there is only one concubine beside you, and there are many people to take care of you, I can rest assured." ”
After saying this, Nalan Rongruo's face turned red, and he hurriedly said, "You can't break it." ”
He understands Ba Yi's feelings for Yugo, and he is still close friends with Ba Yi, and he feels that it is against the way of a gentleman when he has thoughts about Yugo.
Mrs. Nalan didn't know what was going on, and asked, "Why not?" Although she is excellent, her father is only an envoy of the Imperial Hospital, and your father is a scholar of Wuyingdian University, so he will not insult her as your concubine. ”
Nalan Rongruo said in his heart, marrying her as a continuation, I am afraid of insulting her, let alone talking about concubines, I can only say to my grandmother: "I am just a general friend with Miss Yu, she came to show me a foot injury, and we have no other meaning to each other." ”
Old Mrs. Nalan smiled: "You kid, you have been thin-skinned since you were a child, you don't have to worry about this matter, I will find someone to talk to the matchmaker." ”
Nalan Rongruo tried his best to stop it: "Old lady, don't do this. ”
Old Mrs. Nalan only thought that her grandson was shy, and said perfunctorily: "Okay, listen to you." ”
Nalan Rong was relieved if he believed it.
But early the next morning, the old lady really invited the matchmaker to come to the Yu family, and saw Yu Gengru in the flower hall of the Yu family, first gave the gift that the Nalan family entrusted her to hand over, and then explained the intention, the matchmaker wore heavy makeup, smiled, and the big mouth was extremely scary: "Master Yu, I thank you." ”
Yu Gengru is looking down at the gift list of the Nalan family, quite inexplicable, although he and Nalan Mingzhu used to be officials in the same court, but they have no contact with each other, Nalan Mingzhu is good at power, and Suo Etu is not harmonious, making the court smoky, for this reason Kangxi scolded the two respectively, Yu Gengru disdains to associate with such characters, so he stays away, so Nalan family comes to give gifts, he is surprised: "Where does my joy come from?" ”
The matchmaker chuckled: "What do I do for a living?" Master Jade is really good at asking. ”
Yu Gengru suddenly got up, and said unhappily: "I have no plans to continue the string, please go back." ”
He suddenly became angry, the matchmaker was stunned for a moment, and when she understood, she pointed at him with her fat finger and smiled: "It's not Master Yu, it's your happy event, but your young lady's happy event, Old Mrs. Nalan has taken a fancy to your daughter and wants to say that she is a concubine for her uncle." ”
Yu Gengru suddenly realized, and then thundered and angry: "My daughter is not a concubine!" ”
The matchmaker saw that he was very angry, and said inexplicably: "Master Yu, don't be confused, Uncle Nalan is the eldest son of Lord Mingzhu, and now he is a first-class guard in front of the palace, and his future is immeasurable. ”
Yu Gengru said in his heart, the Ninety-Five Emperor wanted to marry my daughter but couldn't succeed, what about his son of Nalan Mingzhu, he threw the gift slip in his hand into the matchmaker's face: "My daughter doesn't worry about food and clothing, and she doesn't care about any glory and wealth." ”
Your matchmaker saw that he lost his temper and wanted to persuade him a few more words, Yu Gengru had already called someone to send off the guest, and the matchmaker picked up the gift list angrily, and muttered while walking out: "I have never seen such a stupid one, without your daughter, Uncle Nalan is the same as a concubine, I will go to Li Yuanwai's house to say matchmaking, Li Yuanwai's daughter is like a flower and jade, ...... than your daughter."
As soon as he said that he was nagging here, Yu Yu walked in with one foot in the door and one foot outside the door, and met with the matchmaker, but he didn't know, and turned his head to ask Yu Gengru: "Dad, there are guests at home?" ”
Hearing her call Yu Gengru her father, the matchmaker looked at her in a daze: "It's better than your daughter." ”
