Chapter 336: The Past and Today
Wen Yi looked at the girl with some surprise, guessing that she should be the young lady of the Rong family who was picked up by Fourth Master Liu. I saw that she was delicate, wearing an elegant lotus color jacket, a purple pleated cloth skirt with sauce, and only two silver hairpins inlaid with jade on her head, the style and color were a little old-fashioned, but the people lining her looked quite dignified and elegant, but unfortunately the anger on her face at this moment destroyed this dignified elegance a lot.
The two Mrs. Rong listened to their niece's accusation and were not impressed. Mrs. Rong taught with a straight face: "Eldest sister, the elders are discussing your marriage, what are you a young girl running out to interject?" I don't have to tell people to see the joke, why don't you hurry back to the room?! Mrs. Rong said, "Dead girl, aren't we working for you?" What does it mean to be disgraced? You don't look up or down now, so you won't be ashamed of your family?! It doesn't matter if you can't get married, your sisters still have to get married! ”
Miss Rong's eyes were already red, she took a deep breath and snorted coldly: "I don't know where I have lost face?!" I didn't rush to be a concubine, where did I lose the face of the Rong family?! Although our Rong family is not as good as before, it is also a serious reading family, but it is a pity that one generation is not as good as the next, since the death of my father, there is not even a seed of reading in the family! The uncles are going around all day long to make a fortune, the aunts are going around to pull matchmakers, the younger brothers are not good at studying, and the younger sisters are not honest to learn to do needlework, and they only know nonsense. If it weren't for my aunt's grandmother's fame back then, others would have regarded our Rong family as a joke! But the uncles and aunts don't know it, they are swaggering outside under the banner of their aunts and grandmothers every day, do you know how people outside look at our Rong family?! What kind of family education is rigorous, what generation of scholars, what etiquette is honest, what virtuous and virtuous...... Everyone knows that after the death of my aunt and grandfather and cousin, the Liu family changed as a family, and you should be as if there is no such person as Liu's cousin in the world. Anyone who is a little shameless has no face for this door today! ”
After scolding these words, Miss Rong couldn't hold back her tears, and hid her face and cried bitterly: "My good girl, without parents, uncles and aunts are unwilling to be contained, and finally got the pity of the fourth old lady's family, temporarily send people under the fence, be careful in everything on weekdays, never dare to have the slightest slackness, I thought that I could live a quiet life for a few years, but I didn't expect to ruin you!" ”
When Mrs. Rong heard this, her face darkened: "Eldest sister, you have to have a conscience when you speak, outsiders don't know, hearing you say this, we really treat you badly!" When your father died, we didn't ignore you? It's just that the family has a large population and is not wealthy, so I also discussed with your uncle whether to ask your sister to vacate half of the room for you, but Fourth Mrs. Liu took you first. He's so zealous, and it's hard for us to stop him. Anyway, it's better for you to enjoy the happiness of the Liu family than to suffer with us, and it's not us who forced the Liu family to take you away, what are you complaining about us?! Also, you have lived a good life here for a few years, and you don't know how to help us, and we don't blame you, seeing that you have been wronged, we still stand up for you. You can't be too ignorant! ”
Second Mrs. Rong also nodded again and again: "Isn't it?" Eldest sister, you are used to living a good life, and you have to be valued by Mrs. Liu's family, and you don't know our difficulties. You don't want to get married, you have several younger sisters under you! What's wrong with being a concubine? You don't look at what your identity is, you really think you are the daughter of a famous family? Even if you are a young lady, with your brother's current dignity, it will not disgrace you! If it weren't for the fact that Fourth Master Liu only took a fancy to you, I would still want to marry your two younger sisters to Brother Xing'er, even if I can't do a second room, I am willing to be a room! ”
Mrs. Rong saw that what she said was not like it, and she was busy pulling her, and Mrs. Rong reluctantly shut up. Mrs. Liu Si was dumbfounded when she heard this, she couldn't say a word, and could only look at Wen Yi at a loss.
I've seen shameless, but I've never seen such shameless.
Wen Yi suddenly burst out laughing, causing everyone to turn their heads to look at her, and she smiled again. Mrs. Rong Da seemed to feel embarrassed, coughed lightly, and said stubbornly: "Brother Xing's daughter-in-law, reasoning, you are already the main room where Brother Xing'er is marrying, and as an aunt, there is no reason to force your nephew to divorce his wife and marry another." But your eldest sister's life has been delayed, don't you look at the face of Fourth Master Liu, but also think of Brother Xing'er and his grandmother's face, right? Brother Xing's grandmother was mistaken for life like this, whether it is in the Rong family or the Liu family, everyone knows it in their hearts, and they can't ask her old man's niece and granddaughter to also embark on this old road......"
Before she could finish speaking, the girl of the Rong family had already raised her head and interrupted her in a choked voice: "I have neither been engaged to my cousin, nor have I ever visited the church, or even ...... If you hadn't come to make trouble, outsiders wouldn't have laughed at me! I have never done anything righteous to the Liu family, how can I compare with my aunt and grandmother back then?! If my aunt really thinks about my aunt's face, don't mention her again! ”
Second Mrs. Rong couldn't help but raise her hand and hit her: "You dead girl, you have to go against us, don't you?!" I don't care if you want it or not, this family business is done! ”
Wen Yi's face sank: "Okay!" I've seen enough of this play, let's stop a little bit, this is not the Rong family! Do you really think we're all dead?! ”
Mrs. Liu Si also covered her heart and said straightly: "Where did the shrew come from, actually beating people?" It's not your turn to have the final say in this family business! Then he scolded the girls: "Are you blind or deaf?" Don't hurry up and pull people away! The girls hurriedly surrounded Miss Rong and sent her to the side, and someone grabbed Mrs. Rong and didn't allow her to do it again.
"It's the other way around!" Mrs. Rongda shouted, "We are elders, and this is how you treat us?!" I'm going to let people judge! ”
Wen Yi said coldly: "Auntie, even if you tell someone to go, it's better to add some more oil and vinegar!" It's just that it's best to recognize the main owner before scolding! Ignoring her shouting, he ordered Runxin to go to see Miss Rong, but she was injured, and complained to Mrs. Liusi: "What kind of relatives did my aunt introduce?" Why don't you even understand the number of etiquette? I complained that I was rude. But I still thank my aunt for protecting our cousin. ”
Mrs. Liu Si was extremely depressed, and only felt that she was dizzy, so she would take on this thankless errand, and when she got angry, she became angry at the family members of the long house outside the door: "Where are all the people dead?" Why don't you hurry up and blast people out of here?! "When the master of the long house was not at home, most of the servants in the house had to obey the dispatch of Master Liu Si and his wife, and when they heard this, they had to rush up and pull the two Mrs. Rong out. Mrs. Rong kept pulling back her sleeve and said, "I will go by myself", and Mrs. Rong scolded all the way: "I'm going to sue you!" Little bunny cub who doesn't know how to count! What's so great about being an official, it's not our Rong family, where is your ......"
Mrs. Liu Si was angry when she heard this, and ran to the door and shouted: "Why don't you hurry up and plug her?!" Where did you come from, dare to go to our Liu family to spread wild?! After scolding for a few words, he lost his anger, and when he turned around, he saw Wen Yi's face that seemed to be smiling, and suddenly withered: "What's that...... Brother Xing daughter-in-law, I didn't know they would be like this......"
Wen Yi smiled: "It's nothing, I have to thank the fourth aunt for driving away the unreasonable guests for me." ”
Mrs. Liu Si said curtly: "Auntie can't see it either, and she ...... angrily for a while But don't worry, what kind of characters are these two women? Heng'an, who doesn't know that they don't have a door, even if the whole world shouts, others won't believe it. Didn't they bite Brother Xing tightly just to get some benefits......"
Wen Yi chuckled twice, didn't answer, but walked up to Miss Rong and asked, "Has my cousin ever been injured?" ”
The girl Rong still had tears on her face, and when she saw this, she quickly got up and saluted: "Sister-in-law, I have never been injured." After a pause, "My two cousins don't know the rules and offend you, please don't be surprised." ”
Wen Yi waved her hand, let Mrs. Liusi's girls go down, and asked, "I don't know my cousin's name yet, you call those two cousins, aren't they your own uncle's family?" ”
Miss Narong shook her head: "It's the uncle of my grandfather's brother's family, and he originally lived in a village, so he came and went more. The ancestor was a teacher in Zhuangzi, and he had always been polite, but he ......" she glanced at Wen Yi ashamedly, "It's just that his temperament is too soft, and he always takes his brothers very seriously, and he will do whatever the brothers say." When it came to his eldest cousin, he knew that it was wrong, but because his uncles stopped him, he didn't say anything. The uncles didn't like to read, so he taught them a few words, but when they didn't listen, he had to let them go. When the uncles were in trouble, he always helped. As a result, my uncles didn't have to worry about eating and drinking at home, and our family was almost out of food. Before his old man died, the family had no money to ask the doctor to take medicine and see a doctor, so I went to my uncles and aunts to help, but I didn't even borrow half a penny, and my father regretted it. He told me that it was all retribution, because he had not helped his aunt's own grandson back then......" She lowered her head and wept quietly.
Wen Yi sighed, helped her sit down, took out a handkerchief to wipe her face, and asked softly, "Cousin hasn't told me your name yet, how should I call you?" ”
Miss Rong choked up and said: "I have a single name, and the fourth grandfather and his uncles and aunts all call me Shuang'er." ”
"It turned out to be twin cousins." Wen Yi smiled and comforted her, "Don't cry, I know you've been wronged." You are a good girl, we all have eyes, we all see in our eyes, and we will not misunderstand you because others are rude. ”
Rong Shuang choked up and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll be honest with you." I have never had a marriage contract with my eldest cousin, and I don't know what the fourth old lady thinks, but he has never told me that he wants to marry me to my eldest cousin. He and his eldest cousin are not in the same house, and he can't be the master of the eldest cousin, at most he will come up with an idea, and in the end, he will have to nod between the second master and the eldest cousin. Moreover, I didn't show filial piety until July this year, and your relationship with your eldest cousin is justified from beginning to end, no one can question it, don't listen to other people's nonsense. ”
Wen Yi glanced back at Mrs. Liu Si when she heard this, and the latter was already embarrassed to the tip of her nose to turn red. In fact, as soon as the girl of the Rong family came back, the clan was talking about Liu Dongxing's family affairs at that time, and everyone naturally thought that the fourth lady Liu was going to match people to the east, but most people ignored it, and the girl of the Rong family was still wearing filial piety at that time! No wonder Fourth Master Liu has never said it explicitly, nor has he asked Dongxing to give a token. The girl who is still in the filial piety period, which one is it talking about?
Wen Yi looked at Rong Shuang, but the more she looked at it, the more pleasing it became. Although she looks aggrieved at the moment, and when she salutes, she is also very person-like, but just looking at her momentum when she rushed into the house, she knew that she had a heart
