Liu Dongxing was depressed and silent. I read it and can see it with a mobile phone. Wen Yi looked at it for a while, and felt that his silence was a little weird, not as if it was just because of Rong Shuang's matter, so he asked, "Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" Cousin Rong's matter is not difficult to do, although we did not stay in Heng'an for a long time, but as long as we explain it clearly, we can get the best of both worlds, and others can't gossip. ”
Liu Dongxing shook his head: "I don't care about this. ”
"What's that for?" Wen Yi looked at him and suddenly understood, "Are you worried about the fourth old lady?" She smiled, "He will definitely be angry when he is angry, but he doesn't take care of this matter, he and you are not in the same room, and you have your own uncle, and it will not be his turn to make up his mind about your marriage anyway." Besides, God didn't stand on his side, Cousin Rong was still keeping filial piety until we got married, so naturally it was impossible to marry you. I think the fourth old lady probably just can't turn around for a while, let's coax him with good words, and when the days go by, he will naturally understand. Can't because of his obsession alone, he delayed Cousin Rong's life, right? ”
Liu Dongxing smiled bitterly again and looked up at her: "When I first heard about this incident, I had a thought in my heart, and I always felt that this incident was like a situation from decades ago that happened again. I was so distressed. My grandmother's maiden niece and granddaughter, and I have no parents, and because of me, my reputation is damaged, if I turn a blind eye and leave this matter on my own, and see my grandmother in the future, where will I still have face? But I married you first, and I didn't have the idea of taking a concubine - besides, taking my cousin as a concubine is too wronged, wronged her, and wronged you even more - I really don't know what to do with my cousin of the Rong family. At that moment, I really complained about the fourth grandfather, who caused such a thing for no reason, but he didn't make it clear to me. But I was bullied when I was a child, and except for my fourth grandfather's family, no other family was willing to be kind to me, and it wasn't until I grew up that there were more people who were close to me. For this kindness, I can't blame the fourth grandfather. ”
He lowered his head: "The fourth grandfather blames me, I shouldn't have asked him what the old man meant, so I had to let the second aunt set a family affair for me, let alone marry in a hurry before the expedition." If I don't get married, I don't get married, then I come back to Heng'an now to do a happy event. He said that when the news of my expedition came, someone from the Rong family wanted to take his cousin away and marry it to someone else, but his cousin held scissors against his neck and said that he would rather die than leave. The fourth grandfather said that my cousin is as loyal as my grandmother, and I shouldn't have let her down......"
Wen Yi's face turned black when she heard this, what did the four old ladies mean? She asked in a deep voice: "The fourth old lady said such a thing, do you want you to divorce me and marry another?" ”
Liu Dongxing raised his head in surprise: "What stupid thing are you talking about?" How is this possible? Even if the fourth grandfather really means this, I can't follow it."
"In that case, why are you so downcast?" Wen Yi frowned and said, "I don't know what the fourth old lady just said means, but I saw it with my own eyes, the relationship between Cousin Rong and her two cousins is not harmonious at all, and one of the cousins also said that if Cousin Rong insists on refusing to marry you as a concubine, she will marry her two daughters, even if you are a roommate, I am willing to let Cousin Rong say that even if you die today, I will never give you a concubine...... Did the fourth old lady misunderstand something? With the style of the Rong family, if Cousin Rong was to be taken away from another family, it might be a very unbearable family matter, and it is normal for Cousin Rong to be unwilling. She has never seen you, and she has never been engaged to you, what kind of steadfastness does the fourth old lady praise her? Shouldn't his old man force his mother-in-law's affairs on Cousin Rong? ”
Liu Dongxing was stunned, thought about it carefully, and gradually showed a little unclear expectation in his eyes: "Lady, in fact, today's cousin Rong's matter is different from that of my grandmother back then, right?" ”
"Of course it's different," Wen Yi said categorically, "Although they are also unengaged, but the mother-in-law married into the Liu family under the auspices of your great-grandparents, and she was the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, and Mrs. Yao married her father-in-law without telling her, and the day she entered the door was still after the mother-in-law." Today's cousin Rong has neither the order of her parents, nor the words of a matchmaker, but she is an orphan girl who is adopted by the elders of the clan who pity the orphans and remember the friendship of the deceased, and even the rumors of the so-called engagement are also false, and she was accepted into the Liu family, still after you and I discussed marriage, and because of the need to keep filial piety, there has been no family matter. Although her situation is pitiful, it has nothing in common with the experience of her mother-in-law back then."
Liu Dongxing looked at her, the corners of his mouth gradually curved, and he reached out to hold Wen Yi's hand: "You're right, these two things are different, I'm confused." ”
Wen Yi pursed her lips slightly, half coquettish, half complaining: "If you want to talk about elephants, I think I'm more like my mother-in-law." The mother-in-law married into the Liu family in order to repay her kindness, handled the funeral work, and took care of her mother-in-law, and was recognized as a righteous daughter-in-law. Then I know that you may not be able to come back from the battlefield, but I still marry you, is it a good daughter-in-law? If I follow you back to my hometown, and you want to divorce me because of a few words from the elders of the clan, or admit new people into the door, won't I die unjustly? ”
Liu Dongxing smiled and pulled her into his arms and hugged her: "Nonsense, where is this?" When did I say I wanted to divorce you, and when did I say I wanted to hire a new person? ”
Wen Yi poked his nose angrily: "I know you won't, but what are you feeling sorry for yourself here?" I sent away the bad relatives who came to take advantage of you, and entertained your cousin affectionately, and promised to find her a good family. You don't even want to show half a smile, obviously complaining about me."
Liu Dongxing smiled, held her fingers, and slowly smiled: "I'm not complaining about anything, nor am I feeling sorry for myself, I'm just a little scared." I was just when it was smooth sailing and the spring breeze was proud, and suddenly I heard someone talk about it, and the whole person was confused. I'm 10,000 unwilling to wronged you, so what kind of cousin Rong, I have never seen or heard of it, so I don't care if she dies? But...... Her surname is Rong, what will happen to her if I leave her alone and leave her to fend for herself? Do you want a lifetime of green lantern ancient Buddha? Or like my grandmother, who died depressed at a young age? So what's the difference between me and my grandfather? I...... Where do I still have the face to resent Mrs. Yao and the second uncle? ”
Wen Yi hurriedly shook his hand: "How is this the same?" It's that you're thinking too much. ”
Liu Dongxing shook his head: "I can't help but think about it too much." Fourth Grandfather...... In and out of the words, they are accusing me of forgetting the grievances suffered by my grandmother back then, and I want to be an ungrateful white-eyed wolf like my grandfather. Although the other elders appeased him, I was ...... in my heart It's still heavy. The fourth uncle has never scolded me like this, and I feel really uncomfortable. ”
Wen Yi was annoyed in her heart, but she also knew that this was not a good time to scold, so she comforted softly: "The fourth old lady is completely confused because he remembered the matter of his mother-in-law. How is Cousin Rong the same as Mother-in-law? I think this is probably because the mother-in-law suffered injustice at the beginning, suffered a lot, and finally died depressed, the fourth old lady and his old man felt guilty in his heart, and felt that he had failed to help his mother-in-law, so he was bent on compensating for this guilt on Cousin Rong. However, you are the mother-in-law's flesh and blood, Cousin Rong is the cousin and granddaughter of the mother-in-law, and those uncles and aunts of the Rong family are one layer further away. What is their relationship with the mother-in-law? How can the fourth old lady embarrass you for them? ”
Liu Dongxing's eyes flashed, and the whole person seemed to have figured out something. Wen Yi hurriedly stepped up and said: "Also, I heard Cousin Rong say that she is at the house of the fourth old lady, and in order to please them, she always learns to speak and act like a mother-in-law. But today, she came over and openly refused to marry in front of the two aunts, and her behavior was very different from the temperament of the mother-in-law, I am afraid that the fourth old lady will be annoyed. I think she is an orphan girl, and it is not easy to send people under the fence, but isn't this a proof, in fact, the fourth old lady and the elders are just empathy? ”
Liu Dongxing held her hand tightly: "You're right, the fourth grandfather was just sad for what happened to his grandmother back then, but he can't force me to do something unrighteous just because my cousin Rong is also surnamed Rong, and that's no different from what my grandfather did back then."
Wen Yi's heart was relieved, and she smiled: "It's good that you figure it out." Xianggong, I don't know the people of Heng'an, why don't you go and inquire, what kind of young talents are of the same age and integrity, right? Let's take advantage of the days in Heng'an to do this. I will buy a decent dowry for Cousin Rong, and I must let her marry in style. Presumably, the fourth old lady will not blame you anymore when he sees that Cousin Rong has a good family. The old man is inevitably stubborn, so don't be angry with him. ”
Liu Dongxing smiled, hugged Wen Yi, and kissed her heavily on the face: "Good lady, I know that with you, there is nothing to worry about" Wen Yi slapped him with a blushing face: "Let go, let people see it, what does it look like?" This is not our home."
Liu Dongxing kissed her again before letting her go. Wen Yi hurriedly turned to the opposite side and sat down, and was talking about the offerings and other things prepared today. After chattering for a while, she found that Liu Dongxing was silent, so she turned her head in confusion, and saw that he looked thoughtful, and didn't know what he was thinking, so she gently pushed him: "What's wrong?" ”
Liu Dongxing turned his head to look at her: "Lady, although the circumstances of my grandmother and my cousin Rong are different, I have some doubts, what would happen if my grandmother left the Liu family and chose another marriage?" What would happen if Mrs. Yao refused to back down? ”
Wen Yi looked away and said lightly: "Seriously, I really don't know." The mother-in-law didn't know that her father-in-law was still alive, Mrs. Yao didn't know that her father-in-law already had a wife's room, and her father-in-law didn't know that someone had sent the wrong message to the family. In the end, the mother-in-law had a miserable life and died early, Mrs. Yao changed from a wife to a concubine, and even her children could not be recorded in her name, both of them were losers, but both of them were innocent. Xianggong, you may be unhappy when I say this, but I think that there was nothing wrong with Mrs. Yao back then, and if she was wrong, it would be a later thing - she was too mean to your room, which is unreasonable. It is not you who have wronged her. ”
Liu Dongxing was not angry, but smiled slightly: "You are right. Then he picked up the list in Wen Yi's hand, "Is this what you ordered to prepare below?" I think it's quite complete, and that's enough. Today, because the fourth grandfather is angry, I don't have to discuss the serious matter, and I have to go to the seventh grandfather and the eighth grandfather's house in the evening to ask them what they mean. Now that I'm back, I have to get this done as soon as possible. In the future, I will have to repair graves and sweep graves, and I will have to meet some relatives again, so there are many things. ”
Wen Yi looked at his expression carefully, and he chuckled: "What's wrong?" Wen Yi thought for a while, shook her head and said, "It's nothing." Just do what you want. I'm also going to meet the third aunt of the fourth old lady's family, and ask her what she thinks about Cousin Rong's family affairs. ”
The husband and wife went their separate ways. Liu Dongxing went around to worship the elders of the Fang clan and discuss the matter of worshipping ancestors, and Wen Yi sent someone to invite Mrs. Liusan, Mrs. Liu Si and others to ask them what they thought about Cousin Rong's marriage.
These aunts all knew about Rong Shuang's existence, and when they saw Wen Yi asking, most of them didn't know how to react. Only Mrs. Liu Si smiled and said, "What else is there to ask about this?" The Rong family has fallen, she is a girl, with neither parents nor dowry, what kind of good family can she say? Your willingness to be the master for her is a blessing she has cultivated in several lifetimes. It's up to you. ”
Everyone looked at each other, and Mrs. Liusan's face was a little unsightly: "The fourth brother and sister are not right. Anyway, Shuang'er was also raised in our family, where does her brother and daughter-in-law need to get ideas about her marriage? After that, he glanced at Wen Yi with an unkind look.
Wen Yi didn't care: "Cousin Rong entrusted me, and I am also a loyal person." If the third aunt has a good idea, why don't you talk about it? I have already discussed with my father-in-law, I must get a dowry for Cousin Rong, so that she can marry beautifully. Then he picked up a post at hand and handed it to Mrs. Liu: "This is the dowry book we agreed on yesterday, the third aunt looks, what else is missing?" ”
Mrs. Liu San didn't expect her hands and feet to be so fast, so she subconsciously took a look and saw that there were twenty pieces of satin, forty pieces of cloth, a box of gold and silver jewelry, ten acres of thin fields, and one hundred taels of silver. To tell the truth, the dowry of the daughters of the ordinary little rich families in Heng'an City is nothing more than that, and the dowry of some daughters of the side branches of the Liu family may not be as good as this. If you want to add more, it will be too thick. Mrs. Liu San had nothing to say for a while.
Mrs. Liu Si took the post and read it, and passed it to the concubines, sighing: "Brother Xing's daughter-in-law is really generous, the old nine families will marry their daughters next year, and the dowry list is ten pieces less than the one above." The other aunts of the Liu family had different expressions, and a few of them couldn't help but show envy.
Wen Yi smiled: "It's the first time I've done such a thing, and I don't know the local customs, and I'm still a little panicked, this is what the Xianggong helped me to prepare, saying that when I was a child, I saw my aunt in the clan get married, and I prepared such a dowry." I plan to add makeup to Cousin Rong, no matter what, it's because of the negligence of our husband and wife that it has affected her reputation, right? ”
Everyone turned their heads to look at Mrs. Liu San, Mrs. Liu San coughed, and asked with a dry smile: "Brother Xing's daughter-in-law, the list is excellent, but this matter has not been skimmed yet, so don't be busy first." I heard that someone from the Rong family came to the house yesterday, but you ordered someone to drive them out, right? Now it's rumored that you don't respect your elders, isn't that good? ”
Wen Yi glanced at Mrs. Liu Si, who turned her head away weakly. Wen Yi smiled and said, "The Rong family came this morning, it was an aunt and an aunt in the next room, I heard that they just came from Zhuangzi to see Xianggong." It's rare for them to be so polite, and I also ordered someone to treat them well, and just now I sent people away, and everyone gave them something. I don't know where the third aunt heard the rumors? ”
Mrs. Liu San was stunned. Wen Yi sneered in her heart: Fortunately, she was prepared, do these people think they can really hold her handle? .
