Chapter Eighty-Seven: To Be Married
"Lord Shizi, things are messed up." Mo Yan was dressed up vigorously, washed off the dust on his face, and looked tall and refreshed.
In front of the desk, a man in a fancy costume heard the words, the pen in his hand paused, and finally finished the last stroke and put the pen back on the ink inkstone. didn't even look at Mo Yan, as soon as he left the desk, a maid immediately stepped forward, some held a basin of water for him to wash his hands, and when he finished washing, someone handed him a towel in a hurry. After a series of actions, a cup of hot tea has been quietly placed on the table.
"It's something this time again." Hongfang provoked the narrow peach blossom eyes, and the expression that seemed to be smiling was amazing.
"Yun Niangzi of the Marquis of Anqing Mansion came out in front of her face and said it, and she lost the face of Second Lady Li, I'm afraid it's ......" Mo Yan naturally didn't dare to look at Hongfang head-on, but silently lowered his eyebrows and sighed, except for the princess who passed away, I am afraid that there will be no more women in this world who can stand by the prince and not be covered by his light.
"Song Yun?" Hongfang frowned slightly, and thought for a moment, "Isn't she married?" ”
"Back to the world, the one who promised to marry was the eldest daughter Song Yin." Mo Yan replied.
The corners of Hongfang's mouth trembled, and he sneered: "Cross Song Yun's name off the list, such a barbaric shrew is not qualified to enter the palace." "The princess drew up a list of candidates for the princess, which contained the name of the Marquis of Anqing, and he thought that the candidate for the Marquis of Anqing was Song Yin." In this case, let them stop, I'm afraid that no one in the Li family will agree. ”
was stirred up by Song Yun like this, even if he had a heart for the Li family, he would retreat, if the Marquis of Anqing still insisted on marrying the Li family, it would inevitably make people suspect their intentions.
"Also, write Li Shaohua's name." Hongfang suddenly wanted to get to know this Li Wuniang.
First of all, a few punches and kicks surprised him, but Mo Yan's Ling family did invite a fist and foot master to be at home and be responsible for teaching Lang Jun at home. Therefore, it is not surprising that Shaohua, who was raised in the Ling family, will order moves, and Hongfang is only a little lady who is playful. But the people of the Anqing Hou Mansion had a face of measles, and his disgusted attitude came up with a red fruit. Hongfang was also extremely disgusted at first, even if he looked good, it was enough to make people unappetizing if he had measles.
As soon as he thought about it, he had never heard that Shaohua was a pockmarked face, and it was not long in the morning, nor in the evening, but he was "allergic" when the people from the Anqing Hou Mansion came to see him. asked Mo Yan to inquire, and the result was that Shaohua had always had a white and pure little face, and he didn't see anything strange. Hongfang became interested in this lady who did not hesitate to destroy her image in order to escape the appearance of the Marquis of Anqing, and deliberately let people leak the news that Shaohua had red spots on her face and could not see people.
It's just that I didn't expect that as soon as the news got out, it was spread falsely and changed into various versions. When the silence of the Li family made Hongfang feel stupid, Xingyong Bofu sent someone to secretly deliver things into the Li family, which made Hongfang excited.
"Lord Shizi, this Li Wuniang is only afraid that her identity is not enough." Mo Yan was a little surprised.
"If you want to write, you can write, whether your identity is enough is not what you say." He was a little looking forward to seeing the attitude of the Li family and Xingyong Bofu, which must be very interesting. Hirokata smiled like a child who had gotten a new toy, his eyes shining uncomfortably.
Mo Yan didn't dare to talk back, so he had to silently mourn for Shaohua, from the side of Jingyin Temple, he still had a little good impression of Shaohua.
"If you're okay, keep an eye on the start of work over there, don't delay the time of the eldest prince." Hongfang put on a joking expression, replaced it with a serious face, and talked to Mo Yan about business. "If you lack something, just come back and say it, you must be thoughtful and not sloppy. Also, is the date set for the twenty-sixth of the next month? ”
Mo Yan also immediately became respectful, "Yes, the date is set on the twenty-sixth, and it is said that the Second Prince's Mansion can also see this day." ”
Hirokata was slightly surprised, his pupils dilated slightly, and then smiled charmingly. "There's a good show to watch now."
I don't know what the emperor thinks, he originally said that he wanted to establish a prince, but as soon as the words changed, he issued an order to drive both of them out of the palace and set up another door after Hongyi became married. Now, the two princes' mansions have chosen to enter the house on the same day, and the dignitaries in the capital have to be busy.
……
"Where are you going?" Wanhua didn't raise his head, and drank Shaohua, who was about to sneak out. "Come back and sit down, read, write, embroider, practice, whatever you choose."
Shaohua had a small face, wanting to cry without tears, looking at Wanhua seriously embroidering a pillowcase, and the whole thing was a sweet and happy bride. The feudal family has already sent a letter to set a date, and as soon as the funeral occurs, the feudal family will directly come to the door to propose marriage, and the customs of the same kind will be exempted.
Because there is a local custom in Pu'an, if there is a marriage contract, no matter how old or young, the marriage must be completed within 100 days of the funeral, which is called washing. The new daughter-in-law still has to enter the door to wear linen and wear filial piety, and the night of the cave room has to be postponed after the funeral, which is called filial piety. If there is no marriage contract, the marriage can be completed within a year after the funeral, it is also a sign of great joy.
Ling's own family is also in Pu'an, so he naturally understands these truths, so he began to urge Wanhua to embroider wedding clothes and pillows, and was busy asking people to make a few sets of noodle jewelry for her to make clothes for the four seasons.
This was originally to be done with great fanfare, but since the clan had not yet mourned, the Ling family had no choice but to do it in a low-key manner. But the expression on her face was not low-key at all, and her mouth was about to crack behind her ears.
Fortunately, Song Yun's previous troubles did not make Ling's bad mood last too long, and she threw herself on her eldest daughter's marriage.
Wanhua no longer goes out because of this, and Shaohua can only accompany him at home, and even Biwuxuan is not allowed to go out at will.
Shaohua flattened her mouth aggrievedly, and it wasn't that she was going to get married, so why should she suffer together. "Third sister, let me go out to breathe, I'm almost suffocating." At first, Shaohua resigned herself to go to the Wanhua house to pretend to be well-behaved, but after a few days, she found that the Ling family didn't care about her, and Shaohua immediately jumped up like a fish jumping into the water from the shore.
"Chuhe, open the window wider, you ladies think it's too boring." Wanhua knew that Shaohua had the temperament of fishing and drying nets for three days in the past two days, so he came over to guard her every morning, embroidering pillowcases and chatting with her at the same time.
Suddenly, I felt more and more at ease, and the clan said that they would come to the door to propose marriage as soon as the funeral was removed. But in Wanhua's eyes, Shaohua is still a lazy child, and she is really worried that if she goes out, Shaohua doesn't know how many troubles she will cause. She has always only needed to do her duty, and she can enjoy everyone's praise with peace of mind, and now in addition to herself, she also has to worry about Shaohua from time to time, even Jinhua She has never been so troubled.
"Fifth lady, why don't I fan you, this weather is stuffy enough." Hanzhang covered his mouth and snickered.
"No more." Shaohua hurriedly pushed it off, and saw that Chuhe Youhan was also hiding aside and snickering, and couldn't help muttering: "Third sister, you treat me like a prisoner like this, what will you do when you go out in the future." In the past few days, Wanhua has "taught her earnestly" more than Mama Rong has counted her down, and she is about to wonder if Wanhua has taken the wrong medicine.
"Then I'll push it until you're obedient, and I'll remarry." Wanhua said seriously.
"Don't, don't, I'll be scolded to death by my brother-in-law." Shaohua looked pitiful, which provoked Wanhua to glare at her angrily. "Third sister, I'm not the demon king of the mixed world, that is, I have had a dispute with Song Yun, and everyone I see on weekdays is smiling, how can I get into trouble."
Wanhua glanced at it with disdain, "The days you have been home have been more than the disasters I have caused in the past sixteen years, are you still not satisfied?" ”
"Why!" Shaohua shouted exaggeratedly, "Mother Cui said that the third sister didn't miss her grandfather's beard when she was a child, and she stole her father's shoes and socks, which add up to more than me." ”
was poked in the underbelly, Wanhua's face turned red, and he deliberately taught him a straight face, "How long ago is that, what I told you now." Seeing Shaohua's hippie smiling face, Wanhua pursed her lips and said, "I don't know what idea you have with Yanniang, but Xing Yongbo Mansion ......."
"Xingyong Bofu is something we can't climb, right? Third sister, you have said this sentence many times. Let's not mention this now, anyway, A-Niang said that before I and Lu, we will no longer look at each other, so don't worry about the third sister. Now that Lanzhi and Mrs. Xingyongbo have her backing, Shaohua feels that she is just around the corner to capture Yan Kaizhi.
Wanhua looked at her indifferently, and didn't know how to tell her, so she only sighed faintly and continued to embroider.
"If the third sister is worried, it is better to worry about Sister Yan, maybe we can still become a family." Shaohua is not worried at all that after Wanhua gets married, she will be bored at home, if Zhou Yan can marry into the Li family, her life will be more interesting. "Sister Yan has taken a fancy to the second brother, this is a great joy, the third sister sleeps me at home every day, and it is difficult for me to even ask. If I delay Sister Yan's good deeds, I won't be responsible for blaming her. ”
Wanhua opened her mouth wide in surprise, "How could Yan Niang fall in love with him." ”
"Third sister, this is our brother, why can't you look down on it." Shaohua patted his forehead and wailed, "This is not a talented woman, a pair made in heaven, I look at it just right." Sister Yan said it herself, Mrs. Zhongyi Hou listened to her, as long as she thought it was good, it would be no problem. Sister Yan asked me to ask my second brother what he wanted, if it can be done, maybe our family will be happy this year. "It is also possible that three joys are coming, and I don't know what the final decision of the Liu family is.
"Look at the fact that you have brought Yanniang badly, and you still say no!" Wanhua was a little annoyed.
"What is Sister Yan's temperament, you don't know, and it's not because of me that I became like this." Shaohua pouted, "Do you know that Sister Yan likes the second brother, and you don't want to help her?" It's clear that the person I like is right in front of me, and if I don't fight for it, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. ”
If you don't like someone, then forget it, anyway, you always have to get married, just pick a pleasing one to make do with your life.
Since I already have a sweetheart, you are not married, and I am not married, what can I not fight for.
Wanhua looked at the mandarin duck in his hand that had become a god, and he was stunned and didn't know what to say.
