Chapter 22: Substitute Marriage 22
Pei family
Mrs. Pei also remembered the matter of the Yu family.
When the son came back a few days ago, he went to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and then he disappeared, there was such a big thing in the Yu Mansion, the son had obviously returned, but he was not at home, and she couldn't call the Ling girl over, lest she think too much, so she could only send someone to send gifts to appease and appease.
As for what others said about withdrawing from her family, she didn't have it, not to mention that it was not because of the Yu family that she got married at the beginning, but also because she still knew a little about the mother and daughter of the Liu family and Yu Yanling.
This girl is a good child, and the mother and daughter have no status in the Yu family, but Yu Yanhe, who has no mother, is spoiled, has no sense of proportion, and does ugly things to affect her sisters.
His Pei family is not a person who follows the crowd.
It's just that......
When Mrs. Pei heard that the second child hadn't come back yet, she was even more angry, and put down the teacup in her hand with a "bang-" and said in a deep voice: "What the hell is that stinky boy doing with the second child?!" When he gets home, call someone to me! β
Mama hurriedly coaxed: "Yes, Madame, the second young master must have something serious, don't worry." β
"What is the right thing to keep him gone for three or four days? It's still such a critical time! Mrs. Pei said angrily: "He is now a person who is about to get married, and he must not be away from home all day like before, and he doesn't know how to coax his fiancΓ©e, and he is about to be officially hired......"
While he was talking, a maid came over and reported: "Madam! The second young master is back, and he also brought back a pair of geese! β
Mrs. Pei: "?! β
The anger in her head disappeared instantly, and she got up in surprise: "What did you say he brought back?" β
The maid was taken aback and took two steps back: "...... Bring back a pair of geese, still alive, please Mrs. over. β
Mrs. Pei immediately walked out in a hurry, and her eyes were full of coquettishness.
Stinky boy.
It turns out that I haven't been running for so many days to chase geese!
In ancient times, geese were hired to be successful, but geese were not so easy to catch, especially the dead geese were a little unlucky, so gradually, few people did this.
Everyone forgot about this custom, but I didn't expect her son to get it, and she got a couple of jobs!
Mrs. Pei came to the front hall with joy, and sure enough, she saw a pair of live geese lying on the ground with their legs tied with ropes, and two men were trying to feed them, but the geese didn't know what was wrong, so they refused to eat, looking like they were going on a hunger strike.
Mrs. Pei was very distressed when she saw it: "Why did it become like this?" How many more days can it last? β
That gaze didn't fall on Pei Xiuli from the beginning.
A trace of helplessness flashed on the face of the dusty black-clothed young man, and he said seriously: "I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tomorrow, the first wild goose was caught two days ago, this one was just to save it and was caught by me, and he was a little injured and didn't eat, my son thought that this kind of thing happened in the Yu family, why don't you go today?" Mother, you should be ready for those dowries, right? β
His mother has always liked to plan ahead, and the things to be used for marriage are arranged without accidents.
Mrs. Pei was a little hesitant, but when she saw the wild goose, she still gritted her teeth and nodded: "Cheng, just today, fortunately, it's not too late, let's hurry up and bring the wild goose, people can understand." β
Pei Xiuli bowed his head and ordered someone to hold the wild goose, and Mrs. Pei quickly beckoned someone to carry the dowry and was very happy.
*
The Pei family's door-to-door hiring was agreed before.
But when the Yu family saw someone coming to the door, they were still surprised.
Two days ago, the Pei family only had a little gift from Mrs. Pei, and they were really worried that the other party might just want to stabilize them, and when they got through this sensitive day, they would come to withdraw from the marriage.
I didn't expect people to come to hire!
There is still a pair of live geese!
No wonder the second child of the Pei family has disappeared these days.
When the Yu family saw the live goose, and then listened to Mrs. Pei explain why her kid didn't appear in the past few days, they were surprised and happy in their hearts.
Naturally, this matter was just like Xie Cheng's proposal before, and it quickly spread throughout the entire Yu Mansion.
Liu, who was still sick, laughed out loud in front of the old lady, seeing that the old lady with crooked eyes and slanted mouth was so angry that she stared at the beads in her eyes, she just couldn't see it, smiled and asked the two younger siblings to take care of it, and went back to change her clothes, and greeted her future in-laws happily.
And Yu Yanhe, who was embroidering the wedding dress in the yard, heard the news, the embroidery needle directly pierced the fingertips, and the pain and blood came together, she looked at the maid who passed the news in astonishment, her brain was clouded, and she couldn't believe it: "The Pei family really came to propose?" β
The maid shrunk her neck, she was just a third-class maid in the yard, and when she heard the news outside, she ran back excitedly to share it with the little sisters, the Pei family is really upright, and they still come to hire the rest of the family, and they are really worthy of being the god of war in everyone's hearts.
didn't expect to speak, but Yu Yanhe heard it and summoned him directly for questioning.
I have long known that the eldest lady and the second miss do not deal with each other, but I didn't expect her to react so much that she directly punctured her finger, you must know that in this situation, the better the second miss and the Pei family, the better they are, the better they can barely save a little bit of the reputation of the Yu family, which is naturally a good thing.
The little maid saw her staring at herself, her eyes were a little scary, she still nodded timidly, not daring to say anything more.
Yu Yanhe's face was completely gloomy, and he pinched the blood on his fingertips: "Impossible, if the Pei family really doesn't mind, why didn't there be any movement in the past few days?" β
The little maid lowered her head and rolled her eyes.
Where is there no movement? They also gave gifts.
But she didn't dare say it.
And Yu Yanhe directly ignored this matter, she looked at her personal maid Cuiyun and asked her to inquire about the specific situation.
Cuiyun hesitated for two seconds, but still took the order.
The news had already spread throughout the mansion, so she came back soon, looking a little scared, but under Yu Yanhe's forced gaze, she still said honestly: "The Pei family has a very good attitude, there are a lot of dowries, piled up in the front yard, and there are ......"
She paused, not daring to say it directly.
Yu Yanhe had a cold face: "Go on!" β
Cuiyun's voice was a little quieter: "Mrs. Pei said that the second son Pei was not in the capital two days ago, in order to catch wild geese, and he happened to catch a pair, and they were all alive, so he hurried over to hire them." β
"Shhhh
There was a small gasping sound in the room.
How rare it is to have a pair of live geese!
You must know that it is already excellent for some people to have a wild goose, let alone this pair of live geese.
But the sound of inhalation quickly disappeared, and the room was quiet, as if there was only the sound of a heart pounding, and Yu Yanhe's eyes gradually turned red, which was grievance and resentment.
Why is Yu Yanling always so lucky?!
Hatred blinded her from all perception, until the maid exclaimed, came over and pulled her hand, Yu Yanhe came back to her senses, her palm was hot, I don't know when she held the embroidery needle in her hand, the tip of the needle penetrated the palm of her hand but she didn't find it.
The blood is no longer just drop by drop, it directly overflows like flowing water, and the maids are so panicked that they wipe it one by one, take medicine one by one, and ask for a doctor, only the person concerned, with a white face, motionless, and the black eyes staring directly at the direction of Yu Yanling's courtyard, which is a little scary.
Cuiyun was busy running before and after, and when he raised his eyes and accidentally met that gaze, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, and he quickly lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at it again.
The young lady is getting more and more terrible, and she really has to find a new way out for herself.
Otherwise, if you go to Xie's house, this life will be over.
*
The procedures such as Nacai and Greeting have been completed, and only the last step is left - greeting relatives.
This will get the agreed wedding date on the first day of July.
But the matter settled down completely.
Now that Yu Yanhe's previous relationship with the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion is gone, Yu Zhen is not obsessed with letting Yu Yanling marry instead, so there is no obstacle in this.
On the contrary, at the end of everything, he took the initiative to say: "I have been guarding the border before the ceremony, and the two children haven't gotten along much, so it's better to let them go out and walk around." β
Mrs. Pei's smile was much more sincere: "That's good." β
Liu Shi also smiled: "I'll go and call that child over, my girl rarely goes out, and she bothers to take care of it." β
Mrs. Pei was about to knock her son to honor her mother-in-law, but she saw that her son had already taken the first step and said respectfully: "My nephew can save it, and my aunt can rest assured." β
Liu Shi suddenly smiled even more happily, and personally went to call out Yu Yanling and handed it to Pei Xiuli: "Go play, as long as you come back before dark." β
ι£ζ¨‘ζ ·οΌδ½θ¨θ±ηηοΌζ»θ§εΎζͺζͺηγ
But everyone else is like this, Mrs. Pei even secretly stuffed the silver ticket to her son, for fear that he would have to let the girl pay the bill without any money, which would be too embarrassing, and then sent her son and future daughter-in-law away with a motherly smile.
The two walked out of the Yu Mansion side by side, and not long after, they happened to see a woman at the door and asked the young man to go out with the cat, smiling softly: "Come back for a walk, don't lose the cat." β
The boy nodded with a glance, and went out with the cat in his arms.
Yu Yanling: "......"
Suddenly found her mother's appearance, why is it weird.
