Chapter 3: The Marriage Is Settled
Then Jiang Rouyun told all about going to Yue's house, including marriage.
"No, I won't agree" The shopkeeper Jiang was so anxious that he turned around: "Even if Shouzhen Pavilion falls, I won't let my Yun'er be wronged"
"Father" Jiang Rouyun grabbed the corner of Jiang Mian's clothes as she did when she was a child, "Didn't you say that General Huaiyuan is the great hero of our Li country, and now that his daughter marries him, where can he be wronged?"
"Yun'er!"
Jiang Mian grabbed his daughter's wrist distressedly: "If it was the former General Huaiyuan, I would have dreamed that you would marry him, but now..."
Seeing that her father choked, Rou Yun added: "Now that the general has become like this, it is also to protect the people of my Li country, and my father should be even more proud of it." ”
"Having said that," Jiang Mian sighed heavily, "If I have two daughters, I would like to marry them to the heroic general of my Li country, but Yun'er, you are my only daughter, and you are the only thought that your mother left me in this world, if you don't have a good life, what face will I have to see your mother in a hundred years, we owe the Yue family no matter how much we owe the favor we can't repay, for my father, I'd rather be a cow and a horse in this life than a horse in the next life, rather than you take the marriage to pay it back."
"Father" Rou Yun lost her mother when she was young, and at this time she was already in tears, choked up for a long time and said: "Mrs. Yue is loving, Mrs. is also a soft child, everyone is a family, and there is no need to worry about food and clothing for a lifetime; Besides, Qu Ke will never settle down here, rather than marrying such a gentleman, it is better to return the favor and go to the palace to take care of the general. ”
"But that General Huaiyuan... He is already a cripple" Master Jiang was a little speechless: "Yun'er, there is no turning back when you draw the bow, you have to think about it carefully." ”
"In any case, my daughter will never regret it" Rou Yunyan smiled but did not waver: "Please also relax, I believe that the general is by no means a sluggish coward." ”
Rou Yun wanted to see Yue Xun for the first time, he returned from his first military exploits, and for a while, the crowd was full of people and songs, the young general Le Ma returned, the iron armor and cold clothes, a dazzling red robe, the fresh clothes and angry horses lined the young man wantonly, the slightly raised side face was angular, the corners of the mouth were hooked with a smile, and the black hair was tied in a high ponytail at will, but it looked like a young man was unruly and untamed, and the smile was like a breeze blowing through everyone's hearts, becoming the dream person of a deep boudoir woman.
"Alas, your mother often said that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, I think this is a test for our Jiang family by God." Master Jiang smiled helplessly: "Yun'er, since you have made a decision, I will no longer stop you." ”
"Thank you, Dad." Rou Yun lay on her father's lap and wept silently.
Yuefu got the letter on the second day, the old lady personally took several car gifts to Jiang's house to make an appointment, at that time the old man Jiang was still sick, but his face was getting better, and he kowtowed several times to the old lady who came in person to thank him, and the two of them were in tears in the depths, and finally finalized the wedding date, afraid that the uncertainty was scheduled for the fifteenth of next month.
In the backyard of Yuefu, the small servants worked together to remove the courtyard plaque, and the maids pulled out the weeds in the yard and sprinkled some seeds suitable for spring growth such as begonia forsythia.
"Canglan, what's going on outside?" The voice that hadn't spoken for a long time was a little hoarse at the moment.
The man who was called Canglan was dressed in a vigorous suit at the moment, smiling and leaning against the door to watch the people busy, and when he heard the master's call, he was so frightened that he hurriedly replied: "Back to the master, the master's wedding is coming, and the old lady ordered someone to clean the garden." ”
"Big wedding?" Yue Xun's pupils suddenly shrank, and he sneered: "What kind of big wedding, didn't the Qu family withdraw the marriage, why, how much money did the house make now to buy a woman to come in?"
"Master, it's not the Qu family, it's the Jiang family" Canglan was afraid that the master would not know and specially explained: "The daughter of the Jiang shopkeeper of Kyoto Shouzhen Pavilion." ”
Yue Xun was dumbfounded, and his long eyelashes flashed: "Let my grandmother withdraw from the marriage"
Canglan knew that he would be so busy persuading: "Master, I heard that this Jiang girl is extremely beautiful and gentle and virtuous, the old lady and the lady have been busy for a long time, and finally found a good family affair, and it will not be in vain to retreat." ”
"I'll explain to my grandmother, and you can do it." As soon as Yue Xun's voice fell, calm returned to the house.
Canglan couldn't persuade her, so she had to go to the old lady's room, at this time the old lady was being served by Wei's medicine, and when she heard her grandson's words, she was so angry that she vomited the medicine and almost couldn't breathe, and finally came to the backyard with the help of Grandma Sun and Wei.
"Bump!" The old lady angrily kicked the door open and broke in.
Yue Xun didn't say anything when he heard the sound, sat upright in a wheelchair, looked at the military book by the faint candlelight, and didn't raise his head: "Why is grandmother here, be careful not to catch a cold when it's cold." ”
"You still know whether I'm alive or dead!" The old lady rushed to the table in pain and snatched the book of war from his hand: "Look! Keep seeing what's the use, if you have the ability, cheer up and go back to the battlefield, there is no one like you in the Yue family! ”
Yue Xun's scattered hair blindfolded his eyes, and his expression was lonely: "Grandmother thinks that I am a wasted person, and it is difficult to even stand up, can I still ride a horse to kill the enemy?"
"Okay!" Wei didn't know how to comfort: "Take your time in everything, your grandmother has arranged a good family affair for you, shall we become a family first?" ”
"Good family... What kind of good family do people like me deserve" Yue Xun sneered: "The businessman is very profitable, how much money did the grandmother spend to make the family willing to marry her daughter to a cripple"
The old lady was so angry that her heart sank and she leaned back, so that Wei's sharp eyes hurriedly supported her.
"Mother!"
"Old lady!"
Yue Xun squeezed the handle of the wheelchair violently, wanted to step forward but couldn't do anything, and trembled his lips and called: "Grandmother.... What's wrong with you?"
The old lady was helped to the chair and breathed, her eyes were too tired to lift, and the white hair on her head by candlelight was even more conspicuous, and Yue Xun found that the grandmother who whipped up the horse had stayed in his childhood.
"Go! Your grandmother has been busy for several days and nights in order to help you find your family, and she can only say with a shy face when she is humiliated, and finally found a good girl to marry, and now you say this kind of thing, it is really rebellious! Wei has always felt sorry for his son, and at this time he couldn't help but pick up the sword hanging on the wall and smash it on Yue Xun's body.
"Okay" There were already two lines of tears on the old lady's face: "This marriage will not change, Rou Yun is a good girl, if you dare to let her be wronged, just wait for me to collect the body and walk back to the hospital." ”
Grandma Sun stepped forward and handed the crutches to the old lady, who took it and staggered out the door leaning on Wei.
Canglan saw that his master's back was stiff, his fists were clenched, and he didn't dare to disturb, and after withdrawing and closing the door, he took a rough breath.
This night Yue Xun did not sleep well, he dreamed of the legs that were wasted on the battlefield, the picture turned, the bright red blood became the flame of the dragon and phoenix candle on the wedding night, the woman on the bed sat obediently wearing a hijab, lifted the hijab but could not see the face clearly, only knew that the woman saw him and screamed and ran out of the door, Yue Xun was so frightened that he woke up from the dream sweating profusely, his face was as white as paper, and his lips trembled.
The next day, Yue Xun unprecedentedly let Canglan push him to go to the garden for a walk, since the return after the war, Yue Xun has never been out of the house, the winter sun shines on the body warm, the weeds and branches in the garden are pruned clean, quite refreshing.
At this time, the two little guys carried a heavy plaque covered with red cloth into the door, saw Yue Xun was stunned at first, and then kowtowed.
"Master, this is the plaque of the future young lady, do you want to unveil it now?" Canglan asked.
Before the marriage of the women of the Li Kingdom, they will send a plaque to their husband's house to replace the plaque in the newlywed courtyard, which means that the new hostess has entered, and of course, it is also a rule that only high-ranking families have.
"Hmm" Yue Xun doesn't do anything to expect.
After Canglan got permission, he pulled the corner of the red cloth and lifted it: "Changyingyuan!" Master, there is another letter here," Canglan took the letter and jumped in front of Yue Xun.
The strokes were strong and powerful, Yue Xun was stunned for a moment after seeing the plaque, took the letter handed by Canglan, and read in a deep voice: "There is nothing to do outside the river today, and the general has a war name." The long sword is lacking, and the meritorious youth is successful. Xiao Zhan pro-Yun Majesty, cold night sudden ban camp. Zhu Qi's body is colored, and the jade leaks in his ears. Open the cabinet to talk about guests, and adjust the bow to be frightened. For Ru Duo is not reached, please learn to grow. ”
After Yue Xun finished reading, his eyebrows softened and his lips hooked, and it only made Canglan's jaw drop in shock for a moment.
"Master, what does the young lady mean by writing this, it sounds like she is praising you." I can't understand poetry, but when I see the expression of my master, I seem to be happy.
"It's nothing, let's go back to the house." Yue Xun stuffed the letter into his arms, regained his usual look, and only paused at the end and said, "Please ask someone to paint the plaque with gold." ”
"Okay!" The master is in a good mood, and the canglan is also happy, and the young lady in the future seems to be very powerful.
Canglan was an anxious person, not only did he quickly ask someone to paint the gold, but also went to the old lady's room to talk about it, and the old lady was so happy that the depression for several days was dispersed, and even the bird's nest ate a few more Gu.
Jiang's backyard
The candlelight in the room flickered, Rou Yun shuttled with a needle and thread, and the outline of a pair of mandarin ducks was outlined.
"Girl, let's embroider again tomorrow, don't hurt your eyes." Dong Zhi persuaded: "The girl doesn't have to embroider it herself, Yue Fu has arranged everything." ”
Rou Yun shook her head: "It's okay, it's better to do it yourself." ”
When a woman gets married, the wedding dress should be embroidered by the bride herself, but because the marriage is in a hurry, if you do it yourself, I'm afraid it's too late, but fortunately, when Yue Xun was the general, the emperor gave a set of phoenix crown Xia Phi as a gift when Yue Xun became a family in the coming day, although the status of the Yue family is not as good as at that time, but time is pressing, it can only be so, but Rou Yun still wants to embroider a pair of mandarin ducks for himself and him.
Seeing that his girl insisted on this, Dong Solstice no longer persuaded him, and walked to the square table, and brought the candle on the top to the kang table to make the light brighter.
"Girl, are you really willing to marry the general?" Winter Solstice asked.
Rou Yun stopped her movements and raised her lips and smiled: "Why do you ask me this?" ”
"When I go out on the street on weekdays, I often hear people talking about General Yue, and what comes out of my mouth is not anything good." Dong Solstice was entangled: "I'm afraid that after the girl marries into the Yue Mansion, she will also be criticized by this." ”
"Silly girl, how can you believe the words of others." Rou Yun took the scissors to cut the embroidery thread, took the handkerchief away and trembled: "In any case, the wood is already in the boat, in this life, I am his wife of Yue Xun, no matter how others make the evaluation, I will always be towards him." ”
