Chapter 544: Red Spike
Look at Li Xin contemplating and thinking, Guan Wen didn't bother her, she went to pour a glass of water to drink, and waited for her to come back to her senses.
Li Xin thought about it and asked Guan Wendao: "Then you say, should we go and ask my aunt?" This is also a good thing, the maid assigned by the master's family ......" Li Xin hesitated for a moment, and then said: "You just said that you referred to a first-class big girl to the eldest cousin?" As far as I know, the big girl who stays by Mrs. Shen's side is Bi Tao and Bi Liu......"
"It shouldn't be the two of them." Guan Wen paused and said, "Cousin Changsheng's meaning seems to be a maid with a face. ”
There is not only one master in the Shen Mansion, but also Master Shen, Mrs. Shen, and other Shen family masters, all of whom live in the Shen Mansion, maybe there is a maid next to Mrs. Shen?
Li Xin said: "It is said that this is also a good thing, why didn't my aunt know it to us?" ”
Guan Wen said with a smile: "This matter is decided for the first few days, even if you want to know it to us, it is not so urgent." ”
Li Xin thought about it, since the master's family has opened this mouth, it must be decent, and the Zhao family has to handle it well, and it will definitely be very busy during this time.
"Then you say, do we want to ......" Li Xin hesitated, looked at Guan Wen and asked, "Do you want to go to my aunt's house to express your concern...... After all, the eldest cousin's age has dragged on until now, and it is not easy to settle on the family, so we also have to express it. ”
Guan Wen nodded and said, "I was just about to discuss this matter with you." There are not many people in my aunt's family, and my uncle has difficulty moving, so he has to ask someone to help him in marriage. It's just that the strength is over, and the two cousins are here. My fourth brother and I are also in the town, and we can help at any time, but we should pay attention to other details. I'm afraid it's not taken care of. ”
Li Xin thought about it carefully and said, "The Shen Mansion is still a big maid when she marries a maid. There are still a lot of bends and curves among them, and the first one is not to let Shen Fu lose face. [ ] They will feel that this is a kindness to the eldest cousin, and we must pay attention to this matter and do it well. ”
After a pause, Li Xin said, "Let's inquire first, which maid does Shen Fu refer to to the eldest cousin." ”
Guan Wen promised that Li Xin would inquire, and rested at home that night. On the second day, he rode back to the town on Honghuan.
Li Xin and Xing'er also revealed this matter, and talked about Zhao Changhui's marriage for two days. Guan Wu heard that the Shen family had promised a big maid to Zhao Changhui, so he pursed his lips and said, "Where is it rare, those maids are not necessarily good, haven't you seen the begonia of the Gu family before?" Hmph......"
Guan Wu's tone was quite disdainful. It aroused Li Xin's curiosity, and he hurriedly asked him, "What does the second brother mean?" ”
Xing'er glared at Guan Wu and said, "You're well-informed." ”
"Hey, why can't I be well-informed? Everyone has talked about this matter, so I listened to it for a while. ”
Li Xin frowned and said, "Second brother, what is the matter?" ”
Guan Wu sat down, hugged the sleeping little Geng'er in Xing'er's arms and patted him gently, while answering Li Xin: "Then the Gu family's sister-in-law Haitang still remembers, right?" used to be a maid in Shen's house, and she was a second-class maid. In the past, Ah Mei also envied that Gu Haitang. said that she eats and dresses better than all of us, looks at it and is happy, and can also use rouge gouache, and there is a monthly silver to get something...... In the past, Gu Haitang was a role model in the minds of the Gu family's daughters......"
"What are you doing so far, sister-in-law is asking you about serious things!" Xing'er slapped Guan Wu with a smile.
Guan Wu laughed and continued: "Later, Gu Haitang was assigned a person by the Shen Mansion. I don't know if it's a little girl or a steward, anyway, the main family agreed to marry her, and she was exempted from a dowry from her father. It stands to reason that this should make Gu Haitang grateful, right? Who knew that this Gu Haitang was not satisfied with the man she was promised to her, and quarreled with her man all day long. ”
Li Xin was confused again: "Is there anything wrong with this?" The two of them get married and live together, and there are also people who slowly run in. [ If you are looking for material, you will go to me to read]"
Guan Wu smiled and waved his hand: "You said that Gu Haitang is a second-class girl in the Shen family, there is a big girl on top who is not allowed to enter the master's body, and there is a little girl below who is a mother-in-law or something to blame her, she is not high or low, how domineering is she in the Shen Mansion?" Hey, but after people got married, they were powerful at home, and their mother-in-law was so crushed that they couldn't raise their heads, but they washed her clothes and cooked, and she also said that she was raised as a fine person in the Shen Mansion, and she didn't chop wood to burn the fire, nor did she cook and wash clothes, this is the work done by rough people, so she didn't do it. ”
Li Xin frowned: "It's a bit too much for her to do this, how can she compare with her previous in the Shen Mansion when she gets married." ”
Xing'er also nodded and said: "The key is that she feels that she still has to bow down and listen to the call of others in the Shen Mansion, and when she comes out to marry, she will serve her with her mother-in-law's family." The in-laws married her, that was her low marriage, how could she not coax her to offer her as a bodhisattva? ”
Li Xin asked: "Then she is like this, and she doesn't care about the man?" Her father and mother found out, and they didn't talk about her? ”
"Isn't her man just looking at the person the master is referring to, isn't it good to mess with her? So I endured it all the time. Her father and mother saw that her son-in-law had endured it, and her daughter had eaten well and lived a relaxed life, so she was not even happier? Of course not. ”
Guan Wu sneered, and said: "Originally, after Gu Haitang was matched, she entered the Shen Mansion as a daughter-in-law, but everyone didn't want to see her, and I don't know who sued her, the master of the Shen Mansion thought she was embarrassed, ruined the reputation of the Shen Mansion, and drove her out of the mansion to no longer use her." Within two days, her man gave her a divorce, and the reason was just, not to serve Aunt Weng. Now Gu Haitang was completely stunned, and the days of prestige and fortune were gone. ”
Seeing Li Xin nodding slowly, Guan Wu said: "So this is a matter of master pointing out people and matching people, it's not reliable at all." If it becomes a pair of resentful couples, then people will have no place to cry! ”
said and added: "I hope that the future daughter-in-law of the eldest cousin is not a person like Gu Haitang, my aunt has also suffered for half her life, and if she wants to marry a daughter-in-law and come back, she has to serve herself, so aggrieved." ”
Guan Wu's words Li Xin also listened to them, and chatted with Xing'er about this matter for a long time. Xing'er still said: "Let's wait for the eldest brother to inquire about who it is, let's make plans again, if it's really that kind of ...... with a bad temper."
If it is really the kind of person with a bad temper, it will be easy for the Zhao family to marry back, and it will be easy to invite God and difficult to send God.
It took Guan Wen to ride back on Hong Huan a day later, and he couldn't see his emotions on his face. Li Xin followed him into the living room of the back room, took his next coat, poured a glass of water to see him drink, and then asked, "Did you ask about the eldest cousin?" ”
Guan Wen nodded: "I went to ask my aunt, my aunt is not from the Shen family, and she doesn't know very well, but she just knows that the maid's name is Hongsui, and she is not the one who serves by Mrs. Shen's side, but the big maid by Mrs. Shen's side." ”
Li Xin didn't have the impression of a maid named Hongsui in his mind, so he shook his head at Li Xin.
"It's not surprising that you don't have an impression, and you haven't been in contact with Old Madam Shen." Guan Wen nodded in understanding and said, "I couldn't ask why my aunt came over, so I went to my eldest cousin again and asked him if he knew the maid Hongsui." The eldest cousin said that he had only met him once, and he bumped into him when he followed the chief steward of Fumanlou to the Shen Mansion to reply to Mrs. Shen. He had the impression that the maid was quiet and shy, and she seemed to be ten years old, but she was petite and slightly shorter than him, so he had an impression, and the impression was not bad. ”
"So the eldest cousin heard that the person who pointed him out was Red Spike, so he answered?" Li Xin said.
Guan Wen nodded: "It was Mrs. Shen who was assigned to him, and the eldest cousin felt that if he resigned, he would be a little ignorant." After all, his current status in Fumanlou was promoted by Mrs. Shen, and he wanted to repay his kindness. ”
Guan Wen paused, but still said: "Moreover, the eldest cousin said that he is also so old, it is time to marry." ”
Li Xin was a little embarrassed - although she did not maliciously prevent Zhao Changhui from marrying A Xiu at the beginning, she still tried to avoid it in the end. After all, consanguineous marriage still has its hidden disadvantages. Later, Guan came to the door to mention this matter to her personally, and happened to meet Aunt Feng one step ahead of her, so Li Xin had an excuse to directly reject Guan......
If it was because she inserted a lever in this, so that Zhao Changhui had to marry this red spike for the Guan family to eat, Li Xin would naturally be very sad in her heart.
As Guan Wu said, Guan has also worked hard for half a lifetime, when he was young, he was running for a living, and then his husband was paralyzed, and the two sons finally grew up to marry their own sons and let her hold their grandsons to enjoy Qingfu, if the daughter-in-law is unfilial, how difficult is this life?
Li Xin was completely shocked by what Guan Wu said about Gu Haitang's bullying of her mother-in-law, and Guan has not felt sorry for her since she got married, so Li Xin also respects Guan very much. If the Guan family really had a bad time, Li Xin would feel uneasy.
Guan Wen saw Li Xin's stunned expression, smiled, patted her on the shoulder and said, "My aunt is busy with the marriage of her eldest cousin now, and she seems to be in good spirits." Later, when grandpa comes back, let's talk to him and make him happy, this is a happy event after all. ”
Li Xin nodded, then pulled Guan Wen and asked, "Did you just ask the name of the maid?" I didn't ask the maid who else was in the family, and how was her character...... You didn't go to the Shen Mansion to find someone to inquire? Steward Han still has some friendship with us, it's always okay to ask him, if it is the first-class lady next to Mrs. Shen, Steward Han will not be impressed......"
Guan Wen said with a smile: "Naturally, I won't be impressed, but I won't be very familiar with it." I have also asked Steward Han, and Steward Han said the same as his eldest cousin, saying that Hongsui, the maid, was quiet and shy and didn't talk much. As for her character since childhood, and who else is in the family, I don't know. just knew that she was not a child in the house, and it seemed that she was sold by her family. ”
Li Xin followed closely and asked, "Is it a living deed or a dead deed for sale?" ”
Guan Wen smiled: "How do I know this?" ”
Li Xin was a little disappointed again. ^-^^_^
