Chapter 172: Reaction
Before meeting, Xia Jin was full of words, and after seeing Luo Qian, looking at his nervous eyes when he looked at her, she couldn't say a word of her full belly.
She knew that he was a lot like her, that they were the same kind of people. When they have a set goal, they will work towards that goal, as long as they don't touch their bottom line, it doesn't matter what means they use.
And now, that's what Luo Qian did.
Let Xia Qi marry Lin Tongzhi's daughter, and the overall status of the Xia family will be raised. Lin Tongzhi is still Luo Tuiguan's boss. Everyone can marry their daughter to Xia Qi, can Luo Tuiguan and Mrs. Luo still say that Xia Jin is not worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Luo family?
Calm down and think about it, Luo Qian's move is not clever.
Moreover, he must have considered that Lin Wan, this girl, is a good girl, and she must be worthy of Xia Qi. He did not do so, nor did he do so. If Xia Qi likes Lin Wan, this marriage can be said to be a great joy for all, and it is also a stroke of genius that contributed to the marriage of the two Rorschach. If Xia Jin is allowed to do it, it is impossible to do it better than him.
But why does Xia Jin still feel uncomfortable?
She stared at Luo Qian for a long time before asking, "Why didn't you discuss this marriage with me first?" ”
Luo Qian's eyes were slightly aggrieved: "I thought you would like it, I want to surprise you." ”
Xia Jin: "......"
Yes, who was not ecstatic when they heard that Lin Tongzhi was going to marry his daughter to Xia Qi? Only Xia Qi, a strange person who has been influenced by modern people's thinking, is unwilling to agree to this family business, right?
Xia Jin could only smile bitterly.
"Actually, you don't have to worry. Even if you don't want to marry this family, you won't offend Lin Tongzhi, but you can deal with the Zhu family's family affairs. Luo Qian said.
Xia Jin heard this. Raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to tell Lin Tongzhi that because the Zhu family wants to accept me as a concubine, they are afraid of affecting the reputation of his family, so they dare not agree to this family business?" ”
Isn't. There is a sister-in-law who makes a concubine for the Zhu family, and Lin Wan remarries Xia Qi, and the Lin family's face is lost, which is equivalent to being a lot shorter than the status of the Zhu family.
Every move. Luo Qian thought of it. Whether it is advancing or retreating, the Xia family can get benefits.
Luo Qian nodded.
Xia Jin looked at Luo Qian's handsome face. Emotions are indescribably complicated.
"Presumably, my brother has told you the opinions of our family. I'll leave this matter to you. She whispered.
"Don't worry, if it weren't for the fact that you had something to say, I would have gone to the Lin family just now. There will be no aftermath. Luo Qian saw that Xia Jin didn't mean to blame him. Secretly relieved.
Xia Jin stood up: "Then I'll go back." ”
"Sit a little longer." Luo Qian also stood up.
Although he went to Taoxi to see Xia Jin that day, neither of them had a good time talking. Now that he has only sat for a while, Xia Jin is going to leave again, and he is quite reluctant.
Xia Jin shook his head: "In two days, I will invite relatives to dinner at home, I am very busy, if I come out for a long time, my mother will find out." ”
"Invite relatives to dinner? Can I help you? Luo Qian asked.
The Xia family is still in the hot filial piety, even if Xia Qi is admitted to Xiucai, it is not easy to entertain guests with great fanfare. Now he is inviting relatives to dinner. I'm afraid there's something else.
"Well, my brother and I will be fifteen years old the day after tomorrow, and my mother said that I would invite relatives over for a meal. Get together with your own family. ”
Fifteen years old......
Thinking that this age is a sign that a woman can marry, Luo Qian's heart suddenly fell to the bottom, and said to Xia Jin: "Your mother, you won't give you to the children of relatives, right?" ”
Xia Jin was silent.
Shu has promised that her relatives will definitely ask for her opinion, she is not a person who is at the mercy of others, she can completely control her marriage affairs. So. She could have comforted Luo Qian and assured him that there would be no situation that he was worried about. But suddenly she didn't want to speak.
She can understand Luo Qian's situation. Because Mrs. Luo is such a son as him. And the relationship with her husband is not harmonious, Luo Qian is almost her only hope in this life, and the relationship between mother and son is not ordinary. Luo Qian didn't want to make his mother sad, and wanted to plan slowly without hurting anyone, hoping that Mrs. Luo would agree to him marrying Xia Jin.
But she was a little uncomfortable in her heart after all.
In her previous life, when her parents were still alive, she lived a prosperous life and was a child of a middle-class family; Although she became a mercenary later, she is beautiful, and she makes a lot of money in the corps, and she has the ability to be sought after wherever she goes. After all, she is a very proud person at heart. Now because of her relationship with Luo Qian, she is picked on by another woman in every way, and she is very aggrieved.
She is aggrieved, and Luo Qian should be anxious.
"I'm leaving." She walked to the small courtyard in the back.
Luo Qian followed behind her, watched her jump over the wall, returned to her yard, stood under the wall with her head up, and stayed for a while before returning home.
"Mother." He found Mrs. Luo and simply got straight to the point, "There are still a few months before autumn, and my son wants to ask you for something." ”
"What?" Mrs. Luo put down the needle and thread in her hand.
Although she has money and can afford to support an embroidery girl, she has a long life and is bored to sit alone at home, so almost all the clothes on Luo Qian's body are from her hands.
Luo Qian's eyes fell on the almost finished azure gown, his mouth was slightly open, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Luo asked curiously, "What is so unspeakable?" ”
Luo Qian withdrew his gaze from his clothes, fixed his mind, and said, "If I can be admitted to the Juren exam this fall, can I be in charge of my family affairs?" ”
Mrs. Luo looked at her son in surprise.
She didn't expect her son to ask for such a thing.
She took a deep breath and looked at Luo Qian's gaze sternly: "Why do you have to make your own decisions?" Do you have a girl you like? ”
Luo Qian shook his head: "No." I just don't want to live with someone I don't like for the rest of my life, like you. ”
This sentence pierced Mrs. Luo's heart directly.
There were mixed expressions on her face. After a while, she sighed deeply and said to Luo Qian, "Okay." Mother promises you. As long as you are promoted in the examination this fall, your family affairs are up to you. ”
Luo Qian was ecstatic.
He suppressed the joy in his heart, said goodbye to Mrs. Luo, and wanted to go to Xia's house to tell Xia Jin the good news.
But he finally suppressed the excitement. He was going to tell her about it on Xia Jin's birthday, which was a birthday gift from him.
And Mrs. Luo there. was told by Luo Qian's words for a night, and got up the next day. Sobered up from his own experience, and began to wonder why his son didn't mention it before, but now he asks his relatives to make their own decisions.
Thinking of Luo Qian's words and deeds when the Shen family was there, she didn't send anyone to call Butler Yu or Leshan and Leshui. Instead, he called his companion Liu Yi and said, "During this time, you secretly follow Gongzi to see where he likes to go and who he likes to be with." Be cautious and don't let him find out. ”
Liu Yi agreed and withdrew.
On the other side, Luo Yu was sitting in his study, listening to a report: "...... Zhu Gongzi found many Langzhong in the capital. None of them cured him. Afraid of jokes, he simply went back to his hometown in Taining and was not allowed to come to Lin'an. ”
Luo Yu's hand holding the teacup tightened.
Aunt Zhang came to let her son concentrate on studying. Second, it is also to get married, so the discipline of the two sons is extremely strict.
Luo Yu is eighteen years old, not only does he not marry a wife, but he also has no connecting room or concubine. In addition, Xia Jin does things, and he has always liked to be unaware of ghosts, unless necessary. Her medications are all chronic, with a buffer period. Therefore, although Luo Yu took the medicine earlier than Zhu Youcheng. But the situation is not as obvious as Zhu Youcheng. And at that time, he was also hit by Luo Weitao twenty times, and he lay on the bed to recuperate for a while, so he never found out that there was anything wrong with him.
It wasn't until he was injured now, and he heard that Zhu Youcheng was suffering from such a disease, and then thought about how he didn't get up every morning during this time and not set up a tent like before, that he became suspicious.
He stood up and walked straight outside.
Half an hour later, he came out of North Street in despair, cold all over.
"No, it can't be." Helped into the carriage by the little servant, he held his head and cried.
"I must have been injured some time ago, and my body is weak. Or, the villain will find a Langzhong for Childe to take a look? The little guy asked cautiously.
Luo Yu ignored him and cried silently for a while, before he raised his head, with a hideous look on his face: "It's him, it's him." Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental? I got this disease at the same time as Brother Zhu? ”
The carriage he was riding did not go back to Luofu, but went directly to Ding Langzhong's mansion. After a while, the little guy followed Luo Yu with a few packets of medicine and got into the car, and then went home.
"You, you've been keeping an eye on the third prince for this time. Every day he came to me wherever he went and who he met. Luo Yu instructed his men.
However, Luo Qian didn't go out again for the past few days, concentrating on studying at home. He wants to win the fame in one fell swoop in the autumn season, so that he can marry Xia Jin into the door.
And the third room of the Xia family, after busy preparations, finally ushered in the birthdays of Xia Qi and Xia Jin.
Xia Qi won the county case, Xia Zhengshen and Xia Zhenghao naturally didn't dare to offend Sanfang, and after telling their children at home, they arrived in the east of the city early. And Shu's brother and sister-in-law, who have always rarely interacted, also brought two men and a woman to the door.
Shu's father was a poor talent, and his family was not well-off. Her brother studied with her father, but he had little talent, and then he got a job as a bookkeeper in a wealthy family in the city, barely making ends meet. The Shu family used to have to go out often in the Xia family, and the uncle of the Shu family was busy with errands, and the brother and sister rarely saw each other, and only walked around during the New Year's holidays.
"Brother Yun is so tall? Sister Li has also become a big girl. Why didn't Brother Xu's daughter-in-law come today? Seeing his nephew and niece, Shu was very happy. (To be continued)
PS: Every book is written to 500,000 or 600,000 words, and there is a period of exhaustion. During this time, such a bottleneck has been reached. I was busy during the New Year, and then I started school to prepare for courseware, and I was very busy. During this time, my health was not good, insomnia, and cervical spine pain. For a variety of reasons, it is very painful for me to write now.
Then yesterday I saw the comments in the comment area, and the whole person was not good.
I really want to rest.
Old readers know that after four or five years of writing a book, although Ling Shui is more unhappy, unless there is a major event such as surgery, it is rarely interrupted. This book is also, I will grit my teeth and stick to it until it is finished, everyone can rest assured.
Special thanks to Ink and Ink, your comment today has given me great encouragement and made me ashamed; There is also a lonely wind, and a peace charm must be rewarded every day, which is an affirmation for the author.
My home network cable is connected to the TV.,IP addresses often jump around the world.,So my reader number often can't log in (for this reason, I used to find my family's Coke editor-in-chief in the middle of the night),So there's no way to reply in time in the comment area.,Here's a special explanation.。
