Chapter 90: Tomorrow Can Be Expected



Old Madam Lu smiled slightly and nodded: "It was the Liu family's eastward brother who quietly handed it to me." He went to the eighth room to check the pulse of your fifteenth aunt, prescribed an emergency prescription for fetal safety, and asked me to send someone to invite Old Man Xiao to come over. You sent Dong Que to report to me that I was going to take Xiaoliu to the long house, and he took this post out. She sighed, "It's rare for him to have this heart." Otherwise, we have been waiting for your third aunt to send Geng post, when will we wait? If it weren't for her own son, she wouldn't be in a hurry, if it kept dragging, our family would be in trouble. ”

After the discussion began, both parties did not refuse, it was equivalent to a verbal agreement, if it could not continue, and it was not mentioned for a long time, no matter which party it was, it was not good to talk about family affairs. Especially if you are not careful, you will offend your relatives. Although the third aunt will not offend her mother's family, it is not a way to drag it on.

Wen Yi lowered her head and pinched the Geng post with a little shyness, her heart was sweet and a little worried. Liu Dongxing took the initiative to send Geng Ti, obviously because he didn't want the third aunt to drag it out any longer, but he handed it over in private, which seemed a little inappropriate.

She couldn't help but whisper her opinion, and Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Silly boy, what's this?" Although Geng Ti was handed over in private, the marriage was not discussed in private. Obviously, it was your aunt who mentioned the family matter to your grandmother in front of your eldest aunt and grandmother and two aunts as his aunt. Grandmother asked her for her brother's post, and she agreed, only saying that she would send it later. It's just because of how busy things are these days, she can't take care of it for a while, now that Geng Ti is here, what does it matter who sent it? As long as the words written in the Geng post are not fake, and the people from their Liu family are sent, your aunt has no reason to ask for the post back! ”

Wen Yi blinked, and slowly understood. The third aunt Liu Gu can't openly say that this Geng post is passed on privately and can't be counted, after all, she promised to send it in front of everyone, and she didn't send it for a long time, but she was angry in her heart and deliberately delayed time. Not to mention the sixth room, even the people in the long room will not speak for her openly, not to mention that the current position of the patriarch has been transferred to the second room. A woman who has lost the support of her mother's family will not have a good time in her husband's family, how can the third aunt risk offending her mother's family for a nephew who has never been treated?

So, her marriage to Liu Dongxing is half decided?

Wen Yi's face flushed, and a shy smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, but she was secretly happy in her heart.

Mrs. Lu took back the Geng post, read it again, and said with a smile: "Let's not make a noise, if your third aunt is a polite person, and then send Geng Ti, we will treat it as nothing, otherwise, we will have to rely on this piece of paper to do your business!" In any case, it is a bit rude to act like this, but he is a child, and it is not bad to think of this. If it was someone else, I would never be able to rely on it, who told you, this little girl, to take the idea first? ”

Wen Yi's face turned red, her head hung lower, and she said in shame, "What did grandmother say?!" ”

Old Madam Lu chuckled a few times before she said, "So you still know about shame? Well, my grandmother is happy and spares you! She put Geng Tie back on her sleeves, straightened her waist, let out a long breath, and said in a low voice: "Next, I will be busy with the affairs of your fifteenth uncle, and Zhuang Shang is also busy, and wait a few days, when everything is done, my grandmother will go into the city to find a famous Mr. Yin and Yang, and combine the eight characters of the two of you. Just send Geng Ti back to the Liu family, and the marriage between the two of you will be decided. She looked up at her granddaughter, whose cheeks were getting redder and redder, sighed, and reached out to caress Wen Yi's head: "Silly child, this is just the beginning, should you settle down and finish the family affairs?" There's a lot to worry about! ”

Wen Yi blushed into her grandmother's arms and muttered, "No matter what you have to worry about in the future, your granddaughter and grandmother will worry about it together, you must not be tired." My granddaughter only asks you that the old man can live a long and long life......"

Old Madam Lu showed a pleased smile on her face, gently stroked Wen Yi's hair, and chuckled: "Silly child......"

Xuanhetang soon arrived, the grandparents and grandchildren got out of the car and entered the door, Zhong Maolin got the news, so he rushed over and said: "The little one listened to the words of the winter girl and has already cleaned up the wings in the backyard according to the old lady's instructions, and the old lady's clothes and utensils have been moved into the main room, and Shi Nan is leading people to clean up. The cook in the ninth room has come to borrow the stove and is cooking now. The little one asked the old lady to show me, should you let the cook in the ninth room give a word when she went back, and ask when Mrs. Fifteen and the young masters will move over? ”

Wen Yi was taken aback, she had mentioned to her grandmother that she would take her fifteenth aunt and son over to recuperate, but her grandmother didn't agree?!

She turned to Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu said lightly, "um", and said: "You remember to let people tidy up, now the position of patriarch is taken by the fourth master, he is a polite person, the most particular about the rules, although our six rooms are well-intentioned, we can't make people laugh at the number of rudeness." The etiquette that should be kept, the things that should be used, can not go wrong, you are an old man, I will hand it over to you, the work in the courtyard of the fifteenth wife, let your wife lead someone to lead. ”

Zhong Maolin was a little surprised, but a trace of joy quickly flashed on his face, and he kowtowed and retreated.

Wen Yi was puzzled, followed her grandmother to the main house, and saw that Shi Nan had already moved her grandmother's things into the Xinuan Pavilion of the main house with a few maids, and hurriedly asked, "Grandmother, what's going on?" Have you decided to take Aunt Fifteen over? But there's no need to give them your yard?! ”

Mrs. Lu gave her a blank look: "Silly girl, there is a small door in the backyard leading to the mezzanine, as long as the middle door is closed, the two families can not disturb each other, isn't it cheap?" What's more, his family has a large population, if he is not allowed to go out of the backyard, where will they live? You can't ask someone from the ninth room to live in my six-room main room, right?! ”

Wen Yi understood, smiled embarrassedly, and whispered: "I just see that his family is in a pitiful situation, and Bafang doesn't seem to be very happy to let them live for a long time, besides...... Uncle Fifteen has helped us several times......"

"Grandmother understands this." Mrs. Lu said lightly, "Actually, it wasn't my grandmother who proposed to let them move here temporarily, your fifteenth aunt now has a body and is frail, so she shouldn't have moved, but the eighth room was also robbed and burned, and there is also resentment in my heart, plus your fifteenth uncle is angry in his house, and his family feels unlucky." If the master has this mind, how can the people under him serve with their hearts? Your fifteenth aunt has been sobering up, and she has the intention to move out, originally planning to go to your seventeenth uncle's house, but as soon as she heard that your seventeenth aunt and your fifth aunt secretly went to the long house to sell it, they refused to go again. Grandmother thought that our sixth and ninth rooms had always been good, and this place was close to your seventeenth uncle's house, so let your fifteenth aunt move over with the children, and the three families would take care of each other. Today, a new patriarch was appointed in the clan, and the matter of repairing the house was to be discussed, but in two or three days there was a charter. When the nine-room house is built, it will not be too late for them to move back. ”

I see. Uncle Seventeen's house is actually the courtyard behind the West Road before Xuanhetang, which is separated by a wall. The passage of the original inner house became the passage between his house and the six-room house, and there was a corner door to communicate with the backyard where Mrs. Lu had been living. The people in the ninth room moved over, and it was really convenient to take care of it, but it was just ......

Wen Yi blinked: "Aunt Seventeen behaves like this...... I'm afraid that Aunt Fifteen won't be happy for her to take care of her, right? ”

Mrs. Lu disagreed: "What's wrong with your seventeenth aunt's approach, there is your seventeenth uncle's discipline, and the housekeeping of the ninth room, we don't care about it in the sixth room." The two of them were originally brothers, and we can't let people accuse the six rooms of separating the flesh and blood of the family. ”

Wen Yi comprehended it, but her family was obviously kind to help others, but she had to beware of criticism from others everywhere, which made her sigh in her heart. Afraid that her grandmother would be unhappy, she paused and said with a smile: "Who dares to open their eyes and talk nonsense like this now?!" When the thieves attacked, you ordered your family to raise their voices and saved many people! At today's meeting, it was you who spoke fairly, so that the long house and the second room began to discuss the rescue and pension of the clansmen after the disaster. Your old man's prestige in the clan is high, everyone respects you, and from now on, no one will snub you without knowing what to do! ”

Old Madam Lu glanced at her and scolded: "Boastful! Wen Yi pursed her lips and snickered, not impressed. Old Madam Lu glared at her, then sighed and muttered: "I just hope that your fifteenth aunt can persevere and give birth to the child well......" When Wen Yi heard this, she thought of her mother and younger brother, and her face couldn't help but darken a little.

The family in the front yard suddenly came to report: "Old lady, miss, uncle's family is here!" Wen Yi was taken aback, hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and helped her grandmother to rush to the front yard.

Nie Jiachang still had a bit of dust on his body, as if he was in a hurry, as soon as he entered the door, he first looked around, saw that the house was fine, and pulled Uncle Qian, the porter of the sixth room, to ask his nephew and daughter about the safety, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and lead his wife and children to the front hall to see the tea. As soon as Wen Yi came out, he got up and rushed forward, looked up and down a few times, and then said with red eyes: "God bless, I scared my uncle to death!" As soon as he wiped his face, tears rushed out.

Wen Yi also had red circles in her eyes, and saluted: "Let my uncle worry, my nephew's daughter is fine." It's just that the gate outside asked the thieves to cut a few times, and there was no danger. ”

Nie Jiachang nodded indiscriminately, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Old Madam Lu on the side, and realized that he had lost his manners, so he couldn't help but blush, and took a few steps back to salute: "I've seen the old lady." ”

Old Madam Lu was a little kinder to him, and nodded slightly: "Uncle has a heart, did you set off from Pingyin yesterday?" ”

Nie Jiachang smiled, and Qin interjected, "Isn't it?" As soon as he got the news, he was so frightened that he immediately called his son home, and asked him to get some carriages, and the whole family came overnight, and they couldn't take a rest on the way. I persuaded him earlier, the old lady is an old man, and his niece and daughter are shrewd and capable, since he has been on guard for a long time, how can he be in danger?! Besides, it is rumored that the bandits have been exterminated by officers and soldiers, and Gu Zhuang just burned some houses, presumably it doesn't matter if his nephew and daughter are. He just didn't believe it! ”

Old Madam Lu smiled slightly, turned around and sat down. Nie Jiachang glanced back at his wife, Nie Heng stepped forward to block his sight, knelt down and saluted Old Madam Lu. Wen Yi understood his intentions, so after he got up, he hurriedly greeted the Qin family.

Everyone saw the salute and sat down. Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "This robbery is indeed dangerous, one of the uncles of the nine girls is gone, and most of the house has been burned, leaving orphans and widows, blame the pitiful." I persuaded my nephew and daughter-in-law that she still had a child in her belly, no matter how sad she was, for the sake of her flesh and bones, she should also take care of her life. Fortunately, she is a sensible child and has settled down. Now the clan is deliberating how to help his family recover! ”

Wen Yi secretly screamed badly, and when she saw that her uncle's face was really dark, she interjected with a dry smile: "I remember that after my cousin was hit by the case, he mentioned that he wanted to do a happy event. I wonder if the wedding date can be set now? Uncle and aunt, don't laugh, Sister Fengshu has already made an appointment with me, if I don't go, she won't follow! ”

Nie Heng had a little worry between his eyebrows, but with a smile on his face, he replied: "Cousin doesn't have to worry about this, naturally you are indispensable." The wedding date has been set, and it will be in September. ”

The Qin family also showed joy when he heard this: "If it weren't for Heng'er's August scientific expedition, I was afraid that he would be distracted after he became a parent, and he would have to do it next month, so now I have to postpone it." When Heng'er passed the exam, it was more decent to do family affairs. ”

Nie Heng smiled bitterly: "Mother, your son may not be able to pass the exam, you said such a big thing in front of the old lady, if your son didn't win by then, wouldn't it make the old lady and Cousin Gu laugh?" ”

Qin Shi disagreed: "Nonsense, how could you not win?!" ”

Nie Jiachang's face softened, and he said vaguely: "It's better to be humble." "Qin Fang didn't mention it.

Wen Yi looked at her grandmother worriedly, and Mrs. Lu finally looked at her granddaughter, and her expression also slowed down: "Brother Heng has always been smart, and he has been hit by the case again, and he will definitely be successful in this department." At that time, double happiness will come, but it is gratifying. ”

Wen Yi looked at her uncle's face and looked good, and glanced at Nie Heng, and they were secretly relieved.

The Nie family arrived so far away, and they couldn't let people leave immediately, so Wen Yi immediately asked her grandmother and asked the kitchen to arrange a meal. It's just that Gu Zhuang is busy now, and in the afternoon, the people in the ninth room moved things over again, and it was not good to entertain the Nie family. Nie Heng took the opportunity to persuade his parents to live in Pingyang City, and visited a few friends by the way, so as to separate his parents from Mrs. Lu.

Wen Yi sat in a car, received the errand of sending off the guests, and sent his uncle's family all the way out of Zhuangkou. Nie Jiachang saw that his nephew's daughter was already half a mile away from Gu Zhuang, so he asked her not to send it again, and after a few more words, he was about to leave with his family. With a smile on his face, Qin stopped talking, and finally said with a smile: "You must accompany your grandmother to eat your cousin's wedding wine, and your aunt still has something to discuss with your grandmother!" ”

Wen Yi felt that she was smiling meaningfully, a little incomprehensible, and when she saw Nie Heng coming over, she suppressed the doubts in her heart and turned to her cousin.

Nie Heng hesitated for a moment before saying, "This time is really unexpected...... Fortunately, my cousin is safe and sound, and I will be more thoughtful in the future......"

Wen Yi interrupted him with a smile: "Cousin has done his best, there are some things that we can't stop." Besides, my cousin has already saved the people of Pingyin, so why force more? Big cousin, I'm safe! ”

Nie Heng smiled bitterly, but he also understood her intentions, nodded slightly, and got into the carriage with his mother and left together.

Wen Yi watched them go away, but she felt a sense of relief in her heart. Although the fifteenth uncle was unfortunately killed, and many families in Guzhuang were robbed, after this pass, there was no more major disaster. My uncle's family is safe and sound, my cousin is about to take the imperial examination, and I will get married within the year, and my grandmother is also safe and sound. Most of the regrets she experienced in her previous life were passed safely. It's really blessed by the Buddha, she has not lived in vain in this life!

Wen Yi suddenly felt like crying, but remembered that it was outside, so she barely held back, turned around and beckoned the girls to get into the car, and ordered Guo Qingxi to go back to the village. When I arrived at Dezhuangkou, I saw a large number of people and horses stuffed there, but it was the carriage and guards of the Liu family.

The Liu family is leaving?!

Wen Yi was taken aback, she never thought that they would go so fast. Has the prince of Dongping already set off? The matter between Liu Dongning and Wen Hui hasn't come to fruition yet, right? Changfang just lost the position of patriarch, and the third aunt is going to leave so soon?!

The most important thing is that Liu Dongxing's family affairs......

There was a commotion of carriages and horses, and someone came out of the village again. Seeing that they were about to leave, Wen Yi ordered Guo Qingxi to drive the car to the side of the road to avoid it, and heard Dong Que whispering in his ear: "Miss, what about your marriage with Prince Liu?" She bit her lip and was speechless.

In addition to her carriage on the side of the road, there were other pedestrians watching, including residents of Guzhuang, who whispered there: "How can the Liu family say that they can go?" I didn't hear the wind at all! ”

"Haven't you heard? Mrs. Liu originally planned to let her son marry her niece and nephew, but the young lady ...... cough, Young Master Liu is an infatuator, and Mrs. Liu had to take him away for the sake of her son. ”

"Reasoning, they should have left a long time ago, that is, they went back to their parents' homes to save their relatives, and I haven't heard of staying for so long. I heard that his family is related to that son! ”

"Ouch, that's time to go, otherwise what's the fun?! I thought that such dignity was a courtesy, but I didn't expect it to be a white-eyed wolf! ”

"Didn't you hear that it was not only Mrs. Liu's son and the young lady in the Gu family's room who got married, but also her nephew?"

"Who knows, where is the time to talk about these things?! What's more, where does she still have that face?! I heard that the Gu family patriarch is now in the second room! ”

"Really? Tell me about ......."

While everyone was discussing, the Liu family heard the order of the hostess, so they marched in the direction of the official road one after another. The carriages and horses kicked up puffs of dust, forcing the crowd of onlookers to disperse quickly.

Wen Yi didn't let people go, but just listened to the sound of cars and horses outside, Fang Cai's eyes turned red, and he suddenly lifted the curtain to look out, and saw that at the end of the Liu family's convoy, Liu Dongxing was riding on a horse and looked back.

She was stunned, her eyes kept looking at him, and she bit her lip a little aggrieved. Liu Dongxing smiled at her, with indescribable confidence on his face, and said two words silently on his lips: "Wait for me." Wen Yi couldn't help but be stunned, and then saw Liu Dongxing whip his backhand and ride his horse away.

Wen Yi retracted into the car, thinking about Liu Dongxing's smile, her heart slowly settled, and she also had some confidence in the future of the two.
