Chapter 246: A slap in the face

Mrs. Luo didn't react at first, then her eyes widened, and she asked Mrs. Shao rudely: "Old lady?" What did you just say? She ......," she pointed at Shu, "She's your third daughter-in-law?" Are you wrong? I know her, and I've been to her house. Her husband's surname is Xia, and her maiden name is Shu, but they are all real Linjiang people. ”

"You can't be wrong." Old Madam Shao smiled and said, "I once had a son who was exiled outside, and I only found it today, and that is Sister Jin'er's father. He and my second son are twin brothers, and we look exactly the same. And the jade pendant on Sister Jin's father's body was still stuffed in his swaddling clothes at the beginning. Even if there is a similarity in appearance, the jade pendant will not be wrong. ”

Mrs. Luo's mouth was half open, and it took a long time to find her voice: "Really, really? Immediately, the smile on his face could not be hidden.

For the sake of her son, she quit the Zheng family's family affairs and asked to marry Xia Jin, which was naturally very regrettable in her heart. When I tried everything possible to marry the Zheng family, wasn't it just for the power of the Zheng family? Now not only can't I kiss, but I also have a grudge. The Bixia family is still so unable to take it!

Unexpectedly, after only asking for a kiss for an hour, the Xia family gave her such a big surprise.

Shao family, she had heard her mother talk about it before. Before being exiled, General Shao was much more powerful than Xuanping Hou Cen Yi in his ability to lead troops, and his status was also above him, and he could be said to be the first military general. Because of this, he was jealous of the Northern Liang Kingdom, and made a divisive plan to let the emperor exile to the Northern Cold Land.

Decades later, he was recalled with a large family, and now the emperor is a Ming Jun, and he will definitely make up for him to calm his heart. As long as he doesn't show resentment, Xuan He's status is within reach. Luo Qian took the road of martial arts. With the two top generals of General Shao and Xuan Pinghou, the future is naturally very good, and it is possible to seal the Hou.

I thought that I had retired from the Zheng family and ordered the Xia family, but I lost the watermelon and picked the sesame seeds. I didn't expect that this Xia family was not a sesame seed, but a golden winter melon.

Thinking about it like this, the smile on her face was even bigger.

She stood up and blessed Mrs. Shao, with a little excitement in her voice: "Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the old lady." Strange to hear a magpie chirping when I woke up this morning. It turned out that there was such a happy event. ”

said. She said happily: "Speaking of which, the old lady and I are not outsiders. Sister Jin, I'm going to be my daughter-in-law. He said. She smiled kindly at Xia Jin.

Xia Jin couldn't bear to look at her smile because of her smile, and turned his head away.

"Your daughter-in-law?" The smile on Old Madam Shao's face flickered, and she turned her head to look at Old Madam Xuan Pinghou, and asked suspiciously. "How did I hear that there is a Zheng family's in-laws, Mrs. Luo, who lives in your house? Isn't it this Luo family? How many Mrs. Luo live in your house? ”

Old Mrs. Xuanping glanced at Mrs. Luo embarrassedly, and explained with a smile: "There is only such a Mrs. Luo. Her son was originally engaged to the Zheng family. Now that he has withdrawn from his family, he turned to the Xia family, oh no, your third son's family is asking for marriage. ”

"Divorce?" Old Madam Shao frowned. "But I didn't hear the Zheng family mention it this morning!" She looked at Mrs. Luo, "When are you going to retire?" ”

Mrs. Luo originally wanted to avoid this topic, but Mrs. Shao looked at her steadily. The old lady Xuanping sat next to her and drank tea slowly, not helping her to play the round at all. She couldn't avoid it. As for her going to withdraw from her relatives this morning, Mrs. Xuanping Hou and Xia Jin both knew that she couldn't lie.

She had to bite the bullet and say, "This morning." ”

Old Madam Shao's face sank and asked Shu, "When did she come to propose?" ”

Shu Shi lowered his head and said in a whisper: "It's when everyone is talking in the main hall." ”

"What?" Old Madam Shao looked at Mrs. Luo's eyes with cold air that could freeze to death, "You went to the Zheng family to withdraw from your relatives one moment, and the next moment you went to my house to propose your relatives, is that so?" ”

Mrs. Luo panicked.

In ancient times, no matter what the reason for withdrawing from one's family, there was no reason to quit one's family one day and engage with another person the day after. Because it seems that the latter can't wait to marry or marry each other, and can't even wait for a month or two. If this person is a woman, then the world must wonder if she has been enlarged and is anxious to marry into her husband's family to cover up her immorality. No matter who you are, it is extremely disrespectful to the person who is engaged immediately after the resignation, whether it is to the person who has withdrawn or the person who is engaged.

The reason why Mrs. Luo dared to do this was also to bully the Xia family and no one supported her. Even if the Cen family was engaged to the Xia family, she believed that the old lady Xuan Pinghou would not interfere too much in this matter for the sake of her mother's affection.

Who knows that halfway out of the way to bite the gold. And her status is still so high, she can be trained like a grandson casually.

In such a hurry, her tears came out, and she wiped her tears and said, "Old lady, I don't want to do this either." But my son, in order to marry his sister, left a book and went to the border without permission. He and Sister Jin are in love, but I was confused before, and I booked the Zheng family's family affairs for my son. For this, I was remorseful and anxious, I was sick for a few days, and I almost couldn't get over, but fortunately, Sister Jin stayed in front of my hospital bed for two days and two nights, and I was able to get out of bed this morning.

That kid is benevolent and righteous, and I can't be confused anymore, so I hurriedly went to Zheng's house to make up for my previous mistakes. Maybe I'm in a hurry. But this is not an engagement, just a token. I won't say this, Mrs. Xia won't say it, no one else knows, and there will never be rumors. After Brother Qi is engaged, it is not too late for the two of us to sum up this matter. ”

This is reasonable, which makes Xia Jin secretly admire in his heart, but he didn't expect Mrs. Luo, who has always been not very smart, to be smart now, and make up all the loopholes.

If it were Shu's instead, she would have been speechless after these words. It's a pity that Mrs. Luo met Mrs. Shao.

As soon as Mrs. Luo's words fell, her eyes widened angrily: "What did you say? In order to marry Sister Jin, Luo Gongzi left a book and went to the border without permission? ”

Mrs. Luo thought that Old Madam Shao was shocked by her son's affectionate performance, and couldn't help but nod a little smugly: "Exactly." In order to meet the occasion, he also wiped his tears.

With a "bang", Mrs. Shao slapped the table hard, causing the teapot and tea bowl on the table to "clang" chaotically.

She turned her head and asked, and asked Xia Jin: "Sister Jin, you honestly explain to your grandmother, before Luo Gongzi goes to the border pass, can you have a personal relationship with him, and swear an alliance?" ”

"Nope." Xia Jin shook his head, "He is the one who is engaged to someone else, how can I have a personal relationship with him?" Before that, Mrs. Luo had also come to me and asked me if I had an affair with Mr. Luo, and if so, she was willing to fulfill me and let me marry Mr. Luo as a concubine. It doesn't matter if you want to be good to me, it's important whether you want to be nice to me. I told her that I had nothing to do with Mr. Luo, and that I would not be a concubine. My father and mother all know about this. ”

"Yes." Shu Shi hurriedly testified beside him, "Mrs. Luo learned that Mr. Luo had the idea of going to the border gate, and she even ran to my house to scold. Lord Luo and Mr. Luo came to apologize to us, and my sister said in front of our two adults that she was not willing to marry him, and persuaded Mr. Luo to marry Miss Zheng and stop worrying about his parents. ”

"Good!" Old Madam Shao slapped the table again and shouted to Mrs. Luo, "My granddaughter clearly expressed that she was unwilling to marry your son and had nothing to do with your family, but when you arrived in the capital, you told people everywhere that your son went to the border for my granddaughter, what do you mean?" Whether he goes to the border or not, why is he going, and what does it have to do with my granddaughter? Are you trying to transfer the Zheng family's anger onto my third family? You are bullying no one in my Shao family by involving a girl in the family affairs of your two families like this and ruining her reputation? Yes? ”

Mrs. Luo shuddered, lowered her head and did not speak.

Old Madam Shao turned her head and scolded Shu Shi again: "She disregarded Sister Jin's reputation like this, and came to ask for marriage in less than half an hour after quitting from others, why do you want to accept her token?" Are you Sister Jin's mother-in-law? ”

Shu Shi cried with a "wow". She didn't act, but when she remembered the scene of being persecuted by Mrs. Luo, she couldn't help but be full of grief and indignation.

She sobbed and shouted, "I didn't, I didn't agree, and I kept saying that the young and the old were orderly." Brother Qi'er's family affairs have not been decided, and Sister Jin'er's marriage will be discussed later. Mrs. Luo didn't listen, so she stuffed a piece of jade pendant into me and left. Before leaving, she ...... that she couldn't cry anymore, and it took a while to control her emotions a little, and then she continued, "...... He also threatened me, saying that if he didn't agree to the family affairs, he would let out the wind, saying that Luo Gongzi was unwilling to marry Miss Zheng for the sake of Sister Jin, and went to the border pass. said that the Zheng family would definitely not let Brother Qi have a good future at that time. ”

Mrs. Shao didn't slap the table this time, but looking at Mrs. Luo's gloomy gaze, it made people feel cold in their hearts.

She gritted her teeth and a voice came out from between her teeth: "Mrs. Luo, is that so?" ”

"I, I'm ......" Mrs. Luo only felt that her body was cold for a while and hot for a while, and the feeling of being feverish and faint that day seemed to have returned.

She held on to her discomfort and said, "My brother Qian is indeed going to the border for Sister Jin'er, and I didn't lie." On that day, I begged Sister Jin to write to him, and although Sister Jin didn't write it, I could see that she was also worried about my brother's daughter; Later, she took care of me for two days and two nights, and she was by no means without feelings for my brother Qian. Although I was in a hurry to withdraw from my family and get married, it was also for the sake of reassuring the hearts of my two children. Old Madam Shao, you are also a mother, I think you can understand me......"

"Whew!" Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Shao took a sip of her, "How can there be a family affair that is not mentioned to her parents, but to ask the little girl herself?" Which little girl is embarrassed to talk about her own family? It is her duty to treat you as a doctor, but also because she is kind-hearted, and it is for the sake of Mrs. Xuanpinghou's face. She saved your son's life, and she saved yours, and you repay her like this? First of all, the general reward of a concubine. When you have no choice but to quarrel with your son, you want to use her to coax your son back. What are you when she is? I've lived for more than sixty years, and I've never seen a person as conscienceless as you! (To be continued)
