Chapter 182: Question
Although Luo Qian was a little puzzled, because what Mrs. Luo said was not the point he wanted to express. But it's a fact, and he nodded: "That's right." ”
"Do they want to quit now?"
This thing makes sense, Luo Qian still nodded: "Yes." ”
"The concubine of the Zhu family, do you want to marry and be a wife? I said, Brother Qian, are you crazy? She had such a marriage contract, and it was turned out in the future, do you still have the face to mix in officialdom? I firmly disagree with this family business! ”
"There is no marriage contract, it's just a verbal promise from the old lady of the Xia family." Luo Qian hurriedly explained.
"A verbal promise is also a promise, how can there be such a piece of paper?" Mrs. Luo raised the paper in her hand, "As soon as this matter comes out, not to mention the outside, the people in the officialdom will definitely know." Do you want your reputation then? ”
Luo Qian's eyes sank, and he reached out and took the paper: "Forget it, I won't sue this case." It's not easy to solve this matter, no one needs to come forward, just use some means to reveal this matter to Lord Zhu. No matter how much Lord Zhu dotes on his son, he doesn't dare to joke about his future. ”
Mrs. Luo was suddenly angry: "You don't care about your father's future for a woman?" ”
Although she and Luo Weitao have a bad relationship, Luo Weitao will die in front of her, and she will not shed a single tear. So it doesn't matter if he is promoted or dismissed. But the husband's promotion is good for his son's future. What's more, as a mother, I really can't see my hard-working son who is going to die or live for another woman.
Luo Qian's face turned red when she said it: "How can there be?" This kind of paper. It was specially written by the Xia family for me. Otherwise, where do they need to sacrifice their reputation? Just ask Mr. Cui to deliver a sentence to Lord Zhu. ”
Mrs. Luo gave him a blank look: "You don't bluff me." Mr. Cui won't care about this kind of. ”
In order to let Luo Qian worship under Mr. Cui, she wasted a few cows and two tigers. I know Mr. Cui's temperament the most. Mr. Cui is a very upright person, and he doesn't pay attention to anything except teaching. Let him give a message to the powerful about taking a concubine, such a bad thing makes him more uncomfortable than killing him. Luo Qian's words are just coaxing people who don't know the inside story.
"Mother, you don't know how much Mr. Cui likes Brother Qi. In order for him to study with peace of mind, he is willing to say a word. Luo Qian said it very seriously.
Mrs. Luo didn't bother to dwell on this matter anymore: "Anyway." I don't agree with this family business. It doesn't matter if you hand me that paper or not. Do you think I care if your father is promoted or not? ”
Luo Qian was silent.
After a long time, he said very sadly: "Mother, you have not been happy all your life, do you want your son to be like you?" Live with someone you don't like for the rest of your life. You want my son to taste this kind of taste, don't you? ”
Mrs. Luo was a little moved. After a long while, she said, "Brother Qian, it's not that my mother doesn't want you to be happy. Mother wants you to live better than anyone else. But marriage is such a thing, it's not that you like this woman, and you can live well by marrying her in the door.
You know what? Your second uncle ignored the opposition of his family back then, and wanted to marry a merchant girl to enter the door. Your grandmother was so troubled that she had no choice but to agree. As a result, when the woman entered the door, not only did she speak and act incompatible with the family. When she goes out to socialize and makes people laugh, her group of relatives will cause trouble in three days and ask the family to help. It's not just the family that's uncomfortable. Your second uncle and her also quarreled all day long, and finally reconciled. The second aunt you see now was married later. ”
Luo Qian disagreed: "Miss Xia, you have also been in contact with her, and she is by no means inferior to those young ladies of the family. Moreover, her family has a simple population and is a very good person. ”
"Her family is really good. But what about her eldest uncle and second uncle's family? You think you're married to her. Just related to her parents and brother? You go out and ask what kind of person her uncle is. As long as you are married. He's definitely going to do things out there that make you embarrassed. ”
Luo Qian was speechless.
At the beginning, he helped Xia Jin break up, and he couldn't be clearer about Xia Zhengshen's personality. This relative really can't do it.
"I'm not afraid of this. The boss of the Xia family, the people in the third room don't want to see him, and they will never intercede with me for him. Rectifying such a person is not a piece of cake. He laughs.
"What about Miss Xia? She now often disguises herself as a man and runs outside, and she becomes a parent, and I don't allow my daughter-in-law to be so unruly. Can you guarantee that she can live this kind of life without going out of the door? ”
“……”
This Luo Qian really can't help it.
Ever since Luo Qian met Xia Jin, she walked outside in the guise of Xia Qi. Practicing medicine, renting a house, hiring people, and opening a shop, she is very happy to toss, and she can do it better than men.
Such a person, after getting married, let her be a little daughter-in-law at home, set rules in front of her mother-in-law every day, look at her mother-in-law's face and act, and live a cautious life, she must be very unhappy.
If Xia Jin just lived with Luo Qian, Luo Qian would definitely not restrain her in this direction, and would give her a certain amount of freedom. But in this life, he is destined to live with his mother. Even if he is admitted to the Jinshi and becomes an official in the future, and goes to another place to take up a post, he will definitely take his mother with him. In her life, Mrs. Luo has been looking forward to going to work with her son and no longer living under the same roof with her husband.
It is impossible for him to marry his daughter-in-law and forget his mother, and leave Mrs. Luo alone.
And as long as Xia Jin and Mrs. Luo are together, Xia Jin has to live according to Mrs. Luo's rules.
It's a puzzle that can't be solved.
"I'll tell Brother Qi about this question and ask him to ask Miss Xia." He had no choice but to say.
Mrs. Luo shook her head: "Forget it, it's in vain to ask." People like her are used to running outside, and they definitely can't stay at home. Even if she promised well this time, she wouldn't be able to do it in the future. ”
"How do you know she can't do it without trying?" Luo Qian was anxious.
Mrs. Luo waved her hand: "I still say the same thing, you marry a lady as a wife." Miss Xia, if you really like it, wait for your wife to give birth to a child, and then admit her into the door. Anyway, she is still young, and she is still in filial piety. When you marry your own child and have a child, she will only be seventeen or eighteen years old, which is just right. Since her family promised to let her be the concubine of the Zhu family, there is no reason not to agree to our family. You are ten thousand times stronger than that Zhu Gongzi. ”
"Mother......" Luo Qian called pleadingly.
"Okay, I'm tired, you go out." Mrs. Luo gave the order to evict the guest.
So Luo Qian came with hesitation and satisfaction, hung his head and came out, sighing and returning to his yard.
He was full of questions and wanted to ask Xia Jin, but he was afraid that he would have to ask Xia Jin to come out to meet immediately. can think of Xia Jin's categorical denial that she has an affair with him, he is worried that Mrs. Luo will send someone to follow, find out that the two of them have met, expose the lie, and add to the difficulty of the already difficult family affairs, so he has to wait patiently.
It wasn't until the dead of night that he went to Xia Jin, knocked on the roof a few times to tell Xia Jin to come out, went to the house next door, and told Xia Jin about Mrs. Luo's request to stay at home and obey the rules after marriage.
Xia Jin listened to him and asked, "Do you want me to stay at home after I get married and not go anywhere?" ”
"I'm naturally willing to let you come and go as you please." Luo Qian hurriedly made a stand, "It's just my mother's place, I have to give her some face." Although she is a little stubborn, she is a very good person. If she likes you, she will definitely love you more than she hurts me. She won't care what you do. ”
Xia Jin blinked, half-hung his head and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Luo Qian felt at a loss in his heart, and called softly: "Jin'er? ”
Xia Jin raised his head and looked at Luo Qian: "If I have a child in the future and encounter dystocia, and Wen Po asks you to protect the adult or the child, what will you say?" ”
Ancient women would be so ashamed that they would blush with shame when they talked about getting married, let alone talking about "having children" in front of men. But Xia Jin was stunned and took this question as a serious proposition and put it in front of Luo Qian, which made Luo Qian have to be serious as well.
"Of course it's an adult." He said immediately.
You can't hesitate on this question, and if you hesitate, you will lose.
"Then your mother insists on protecting her grandson, and if she doesn't protect her, she won't live?" Xia Jin asked again.
Luo Qian was stunned for a moment, his handsome brows furrowed tightly, and he looked at Xia Jin's gaze with embarrassment and helplessness: "I will persuade her to protect her adult, my mother is not such an unreasonable person." ”
Xia Jin shrugged his shoulders and stood up: "It's late at night, I'll go back to sleep, good night." "Walk outside.
"Jin'er." Luo Qian grabbed her arm, "Do you agree or not?" ”
Xia Jin shook his head: "Even if I promise you, your mother will not agree to our family affair." Don't you see it yet? What she said was not asking me what to do after marriage, but to find fault with me. ”
She paused, the corners of her mouth curled, revealing a slightly mocking smile: "Besides, let me stay at home without leaving the door, and be a woman with three virtues and four virtues, I really can't do it." ”
As she spoke, she withdrew her arms, walked out of the door quickly, rose up, and disappeared into the courtyard in an instant.
Luo Qian stood there, looking at the moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard, and stood there for a long time without moving.
Mrs. Luo didn't let go of this matter, and Xia Jin had already retreated in her heart. Think about it, even if Mrs. Luo reluctantly agrees to her marrying Luo Qian, she will be uncomfortable if she has to serve such a mother-in-law after passing the door, and she will be managed by her head and feet.
She is a lazy person in her bones, she was tired in her last life, and she didn't have a few days of relaxed life, but now she has picked a life back, she plans to live a good life, eat, drink and enjoy life to the fullest. Let her look at her mother-in-law's face every day and set rules to serve people, that's sorry, forget it, she really didn't love Luo Qian to that extent.
Anyway, both of them were still in filial piety, so the matter was put aside and not mentioned again. It was Luo Weitao's side, who got the piece of paper that Luo Qian gave him, and borrowed someone else's hand to poke the matter up, and Zhu Zhifu was transferred a year ago. Mrs. Zhu also personally came to Xia Yuan to apologize and give gifts, and did some superficial work. (To be continued)
