Chapter 70: The First Marriage Contract

Wen Yi still remembers that when Liu Gu's family recalled Zhuang Province's relatives, when she invited people from other rooms to play for the first time, she had done a similar trick, and it was her tenth cousin Wen Juan who shuttled to get close to Liu Dongxing at that time. Later, there was a wind legend that the eighth cousin was pushed out by her stepmother to marry Liu Dongxing, and she also held a belated spring outing in the name of Liu Dongning, and gathered all the sisters of the right age in the clan to give Liu Dongxing a blind date.

At this moment, Liu Gu suddenly pushed himself to Liu Dongxing's side, and the latter also poured tea for himself strangely, which had a different meaning. Could it be that the third aunt took a fancy to herself at this time and wanted to say goodbye to Liu Dongxing? But what can you do with his cup of tea? How could she smile so weirdly?

Wen Yi's heart suddenly moved, remembering that when people in the world signed a marriage, they often took tea as a dowry, so "eating tea" has the meaning of hiring, because once the tea tree is planted, it cannot be transplanted, and if it is moved, it will not be born, just like a female pig is loyal and loyal. Could it be that the third aunt deliberately let herself eat the tea poured by Liu Dongxing, and then took the opportunity to talk about family affairs? !

Her face couldn't help but flush a little, how could she be so childish in her marriage?! After four years of rebirth, she has long been accustomed to thinking twice before doing things, and she is only worried that if she makes a wrong step, she will provoke others to laugh at her, and her grandmother will be blamed, so although she has a bit of ladylike thoughts about Liu Dongxing, she didn't plan to make a marriage contract so rashly, so she didn't go to pick up the cup of tea.

Liu Dongxing secretly swallowed his saliva and stared at Wen Yi's face with bated breath, just hoping that she could look at herself. As long as she could see her eyes, she knew this was the best chance for the two of them! How much effort did it take him to get his second aunt Liu Gu to propose this family business according to his plan?!

There is only one step left, and when he finishes this step, he will no longer have any worries, and he can concentrate on fighting for his family in the future! He will promise her a bright future, as long as she catches his cup of tea!

But Wen Yi didn't dare to look up at him, only felt that his gaze was getting hotter and hotter, burning her cheeks more and more red.

Liu Gu was impatient, grabbed Wen Yi's hand and pulled it to reach the teacup, and said in his mouth: "You kid, why are you disobedient?!" Didn't you see your big brother raise a glass and his hands were sore?! Why don't you take it soon? Don't lose your chances! ”

Wen Yi held the cup of tea, and her fingers gently rubbed Liu Dongxing's fingers, the tentacles were warm, but they were very different from the soft ten fingers of female pigs such as girls, and there was a hard feeling. Her face turned even redder, and she couldn't even look up. An unknown light flashed in Liu Dongxing's eyes, and he slowly withdrew his hand, but clasped his hands in front of him, staring at the cup of tea.

Liu Gu was still there to persuade: "Drink quickly?" Why not drink? If you don't drink it anymore, it will be cold! Both hands almost pushed the teacup to Wen Yi's mouth.

Now even Dongning Wenxian and Wenjuan can see that something is wrong.

Dong Ning had already guessed a few points, but he didn't object, but he felt that his mother was too blunt and a little unreasonable, so he frowned slightly and called softly: "Mother!" Wen Xian's eyes widened, as if she had realized something; Wen Juan has personally experienced this kind of thing, where do you still not understand? Anxiously shouted: "Ninth sister! Don't ————" was glared at fiercely by Liu Gu's head.

Where can Wen Yi still sit still? Immediately stood up, put the tea down, and was about to turn around and leave, but was pulled by Liu Gu and pressed back to his original seat. Liu Gu's family also heard his son's call, and knew that he had done too hard, but seeing that Liu Dongxing was so cooperative, where could Wen Yi be allowed to dodge? She immediately stuffed the teacup back into Wen Yi's hand, planning to let her niece drink this cup of tea!

At this time, Ruyi walked to the door of the blue yarn cupboard and said softly: "Mrs. Gu, the old lady called you, saying that it was the matter discussed before, and the sixth old lady has something to ask you." ”

Liu Gu was stunned and a little disappointed, but when she thought that as long as the sixth aunt nodded, the family affair would be done, and she wanted Wen Yi to drink tea, just to find a reason, since the sixth aunt opened her mouth, why should she bother with the children? So she turned around, glared at Wen Juan warningly, and flicked her sleeves and went out.

Wen Juan immediately got up and ran to Wen Yi's side, staring at Liu Dongxing with a warning gaze. Liu Dongxing ignored her, but silently turned to sit on the chair opposite, turning his head to listen to the conversation of the elders outside. Wen Juan said a little "phew", leaned into Wen Yi's ear and asked, "Sister Jiu, don't agree, he is a concubine, Uncle Liu still doesn't dare to recognize him, if you go to his house, you will be laughed at in the future!" ”

Wen Yi lowered her head with a red face and remained silent until Wen Juan left, when she raised her eyes and quietly looked at Liu Dongxing, just as Liu Dongxing turned her head to look over, there was a faint look of disappointment in her eyes. As soon as she pursed her mouth, she felt a little aggrieved.

What is there for him to be disappointed?! Do you want her to just agree to the marriage? That's child's play! Who do you think she is?!

She flattened her mouth and twisted her head. Liu Dongxing was stunned for a moment, then touched his head in disdain, reflecting on whether he was too impatient?

Outside, in the Xinuan Pavilion, Mrs. Lu's expression was a little unfathomable, and she said lightly: "What is Fang Cai doing?" I don't know the rules of our Gu family, which one is to force the guests to eat tea, and say that the guests don't eat, which is a loss of etiquette? I'm so old, I haven't heard of this kind of thing, I'm really confused, why don't my niece tell the sixth aunt? ”

Liu Gu was stunned, the smile on his face was a little reluctant, and the rest was reluctant, and he caught a glimpse of Duan standing on the side with a frown, looking a little absent-minded, while Liu was eating tea with his head down, and the fifth wife looked back and forth on her and Mrs. Lu's faces with some interest. She felt a little embarrassed in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but look at her mother.

Mrs. Yu said with a smile: "She is still young, she originally wanted to joke with the children, but she didn't know that the children were all polite and polite, who dared to joke with her?" Ignore her! He gently brought his daughter Fangcai's faux pas, and then approached Mrs. Lu, and said in a low voice: "Although it is a joke, her idea is not bad." The nine girls are going to be in time next year, and they always have to say that they are pro, looking for people outside, where is it better than our own family who knows the roots? You are the only granddaughter, and she has lost her parents early, and you can't bear to let her marry into a second-class family to suffer, right?! But if she marries into a big family, she has to be bound by the rules, the nine girls have no brothers to support, and the clansmen are separated by a layer after all, and she will be wronged in her in-law's house in the future, and there is no one to help speak. Let's be honest, we've been concubines for decades, what haven't we ever seen? What kind of wealth and power are just fleeting! No matter how well the child marries, no matter how decent the in-laws' family is, it is better to find a good person who can live a down-to-earth life after all! The nephew of your niece's mother-in-law's family, in terms of family background, is also a famous family, no matter how you say it, it is better than ordinary people outside. The child also had no parents since he was a child, and he studied for a few years in his early years, took the children's exam, and studied salvo for a few years, and his health is good, which can be said to be both civil and military. Although he is young and white, he is honest and filial, perhaps because he has no brothers and sisters, and he has always taken great care of his brothers in Dongning, which shows that he will hurt people. As for the furniture, he is the blood of the Liu family's house, and his uncle and aunt are taking care of him, is there still a share of him missing? ! The sixth brother and sister are so good to think about it, isn't this an excellent family affair? ”

Liu Gu hurriedly smiled: "Exactly! Aunt Six, I didn't say it, our family is a good boy! Originally, I have seen a few nieces and nephews, but I always feel that your nine girls are the most demure, smart and capable, just matching him! I've even combined the eight characters of the two of them, it's a match made in heaven! It can be seen that it is providence! As long as you nod, I will ask them to write a marriage letter, and tomorrow will be a gift! Wait for next year's nine girls and Lu to pass the door! In less than two years, I will give you a great-grandchild......"

Before he finished speaking, Wen Yi and Wen Xian and the others in the blue yarn cabinet had already blushed when they heard it, while Wen Juan was tense and gritted her teeth. Wen Yi quietly glared at Liu Dongxing, only to feel that he was in such an embarrassing situation at the moment, and he was all involved! Liu Dongxing touched his nose, lowered his head and coughed lightly.

Old Madam Lu didn't hear it, and immediately interrupted her, "Third niece! Which family marries a daughter so carelessly? Besides, there are several sisters on the top of our nine girls! The ancients said, the young and the old are orderly, how can there be a reason why my sister has not decided on idle things, and my sister goes out first? ! ”

Liu Gu was interrupted, and was a little hesitant, but he was speechless when he heard the words, his eyes rolled, and he smiled again: "It's okay to set it down first, and I don't plan to shout around, what's the matter, their respective parents are already watching, and the marriage of the seventh girl and the eighth girl is also simple, but it is just a matter of two or three years, and it will pass quickly." The sixth aunt first set it for the nine girls, and when the next year is over, there are still many husbands to do, and when these husbands are done, her sisters will get married, just to do a happy event. ”

"Then you can't just book it with a few words!" Old Madam Lu turned to Old Madam Yu, "Sister-in-law, there is some truth in your words of culture and education, I only have this one granddaughter, naturally I am looking forward to her well, what kind of wealth and power, I have never thought of it!" I just hope that her future son-in-law can live a beautiful life with her! It's just that we also have decent families, and we can't compare with small families, that is, girls from small families, and we have to carefully ask about the man's family background when we are engaged! What's more, a big family like us? The words of the matchmaker, the order of the parents, the three books and six rites, are indispensable! Which daughter of our Gu family didn't marry according to this rule? If it's wrong, won't it make people laugh at it? When the time comes, our entire Gu family will have no face! The sister-in-law said yes? ”

Old Madam Yu nodded with a smile and glared at her daughter with disgust: "Look at you, what are you anxious about?!" No matter how much you like the nine girls, you have to follow the rules! Isn't this telling you to watch a joke?! ”

Liu Gu smiled wryly, but after thinking about it, Old Madam Lu's words didn't seem to have any objections, so she secretly rejoiced, put on a smile again, and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" It's the niece who said the wrong thing, so I will do what the aunt wants! ”

Old Madam Lu smiled faintly, and said: "The marriage is a big deal, it is good to marry two surnames, and it should not be ignored." In a family like ours, when children get married, the first thing is that they are right, and then there are the ...... of conduct, talent, temperament, etc." ”

Liu Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The second wife Duan on the side seemed to come back to her senses, and sighed when she heard the words, the fourth wife Liu frowned, and the fifth wife lowered her head to drink tea with a sneering smile on the corner of her mouth.

There was silence in the blue yarn cupboard, several juniors listened attentively, and I don't know when I walked in to sit next to Liu Dongxing, slapped him quietly, and whispered: "Listen, there are still people with eyes in this village, I used to secretly scold the sixth uncle and grandmother, and I will never scold from now on!" ”

Liu Dongxing's heart was up and down, anxious to wait for Mrs. Lu's next step, and he didn't have time to pay attention to him, so he laughed casually twice, and pricked up his ears to listen to the movement outside.

Wen An was a little bored, so he glanced at Wen Yi, Wen Yi's ears were red, and he just sat there with his head down, twisting the handkerchief with both hands, and the deer in his heart collided.

Mrs. Lu didn't seem to notice the anxiety of others, she just took a sip of tea slowly, then gently put down the tea bowl, and said lightly: "Since the eldest sister-in-law came forward to say yes, and the second daughter-in-law, the fourth daughter-in-law and the fifth daughter-in-law were present to testify, and the third niece mentioned this family, I naturally have no reason to refuse." But since the proposal is proposing, how can there be no matchmaker? If the third niece comes forward to be a matchmaker, she will write the Geng post and send it over, and then talk about it after the name and net worth, always let my old wife know the origin and family history of your children! I know the name, and my hometown is naturally Heng'an, but my ancestors are three generations, my parents and relatives, but I don't understand it.

You also know, I'm old, I don't have a good memory, and my eyes are poor, and sometimes when the children of my clan or relatives come to say goodbye, I will admit people wrong! But I remember that the kid - it's called Dongxing - he seems to call Aunt Liu uncle, but just now your mother said that he is the blood of Changfang, which is not right! I clearly remember that Aunt Liu is the eldest son?! Who are his parents?! ”

Liu Gu was dumbfounded, a little at a loss. She didn't expect that Old Madam Lu would suddenly ask about it, and couldn't help but look at her mother.

Old Madam Yu has been silent. Mrs. Lu pointed out that the family matter was agreed in front of her sister-in-law, if they concealed Liu Dongxing's life experience, in the future, Liufang would find out the truth, and she would have no reputation in the clan; But if Liu Dongxing's life experience is told truthfully, the embarrassing situation of her daughter and son-in-law will be immediately exposed in front of the people in the second and fourth rooms, with her daughter's arrogance, how can she bear it? !

The Xinuan Pavilion suddenly fell silent.
