Chapter 445: Family
Yang Qingqing: "Mother, when I enter the Yang Mansion, I will definitely find the best doctor and the best medicine for you." ”
"Okay, okay, I know that we Qingqing are the most filial ......"
Zheng Yu only felt funny when he listened to the conversation between the mother and the daughter, but when he thought of something, he felt that he should still take action, so he borrowed the paper and pen of the shopkeeper and left a short letter, saying that the discussion between Xianghua and Yang Yu that day, so that the mother and daughter could be prepared.
And in Li's mansion, Mrs. Li first told the general about Ying'er's request, and both of them frowned.
General Li asked, "Is this girl really just a girl?" ”
Mrs. Li shook her head and said: "Although she is a girl, she dresses and behaves well, and she can read and write, and she is still a good housekeeper when she hears Xianghua, and everything else is good, but her heart is too high." ”
General Li also said: "That's right. Look at the sons of this capital, how many of them are not two or three wives and concubines. Our family is already not prosperous, so I am afraid it will be even more difficult. ”
General Li is also a mouthless person when he speaks, as soon as he says this, Mrs. Li inevitably thinks that she only gave birth to Li Shu, this person is half of her fault, she didn't remarry because of her face, but she can't say that she has complaints in her heart. Although he said this now about Ying'er, it seemed to be pierced into her heart.
The more she reminded herself that she wasn't talking about her, the more uncomfortable she felt.
“…… If she insists on doing so, then I'm afraid this family business will not be able to be discussed. "General Li is still talking." Now that Shu'er can be relieved, it is not difficult for us to find a girl with a better family and a more amiable personality. ”
Mrs. Li suddenly stood up.
General Li was taken aback by her and asked suspiciously, "Madam, what's wrong with you?" Seems a little unhappy? ”
Mrs. Li thought about it, but decided to say it: "Master, you haven't said it for so many years, and I haven't asked, I only gave birth to one child, do you resent me in your heart?" ”
Only then did General Li realize that what he had just said was not appropriate, and hurriedly said, "How can I complain about you, madam?" We all remember how much you have suffered for me and how much you have suffered for Shu'er over the years. ”
"Master, I know that you value love and righteousness, but you tell me the truth, have you ever thought about it all these years if you could have a concubine and a few more children?"
General Li pursed his lips and sighed, "Madam, I will tell you honestly, I have indeed thought about having more children, but the idea of taking concubines has never been. You also know that I am not very good at dealing with women, and it is thanks to you that you have been able to tolerate me for so many years, how can I blame you? ”
Mrs. Li said: "That being the case, then we shouldn't ask Ying'er to do this." I think it's better to ask Shu'er before talking, it's useless for the two of us to talk here for a long time. ”
General Li smiled: "That's right, then ask Shu'er first." ”
Mrs. Li asked, "Do you think Shu'er will agree?" ”
General Li thought for a while and said bitterly, "I think it will." ”
Mrs. Li asked again: "Then if Shu'er agrees, what do you say?" ”
General Li felt that this was a proposition, but he didn't dare not answer, so he had to smile: "Since Shu'er and you have agreed, then what else do I have to say." ”
That's not what I said. If Ying'er really wants to marry into our family, we should treat others well, and we can't be so reluctant. Mrs. Li said.
General Li said that he was very teachable, and said repeatedly: "Madame is reasonable. If Shu'er really agreed, let's teach Shu'er to treat others well and give Miss Ying'er a good nourishment, wouldn't it be the same as Sun Mantang? ”
Mrs. Li smiled: "This is clear. ”
Li Shu had just come back from the next court, and he saw his father and mother waiting at the door, his face was still red, and he didn't know what the happy event was.
Mrs. Li said, "Shu'er, are you back?" ”
Li Shu was a little unaccustomed to it, nodded and said, "Dad, mother, is there something wrong?" ”
Mrs. Li said: "It's nothing, it's just that I recently went to Yang's Mansion and met Miss Xianghua and Miss Ying'er. ”
When Li Shu heard Ying'er, he really messed up and asked, "Why did my mother go to find them?" ”
"This matter, it's not big, it's not small. Shu'er, didn't you say that day that it was all up to your mother? I went and asked Miss Ying'er what she meant, do you know what she said? ”
Li Shu suddenly became even more cramped, neither walking, nor not leaving, and only after a while asked, "What did Miss Ying'er say?" ”
Mrs. Li smiled: "Ying'er is a good boy who is frank and straightforward, I like this very much, and she also means to approve of this family business, but she has one condition." ”
"What?" Li Shu asked curiously.
Mrs. Li said word by word: "She said that if you want to get married, you can't take a concubine." ”
Li Shu listened and turned his head to look at his father in confusion. General Li also glanced at his son a little bitterly.
Mrs. Li snorted and said, "Sure enough, you men have flowers and intestines in their stomachs, and they all want three wives and four concubines?" ”
General Li suddenly shouted: "Madame is wronged, I'm just worried about whether I can hold my grandchildren." ”
Li Shu also said: "Mother, I thought it was a big deal when you just said that the conditions were not accepted, if you said that you would not accept a concubine, you can agree, aren't your father and grandfather like this?" How can this be considered a condition? ”
When Mrs. Li heard this, she looked at her son in some surprise, and nodded with satisfaction: "Since this is the case, this matter will be easy to handle." The dowry should be wrapped up in me, you just have to treat Ying'er well, and let me and your father hug the little grandson and granddaughter as soon as possible! ”
Li Shu felt even more embarrassed, these eight characters hadn't been skimmed yet, and the two old men had already thought of going there.
It was the third day since Mrs. Li, and Xianghua and Ying'er were a little apprehensive - after all, they had not known each other for a long time, and they didn't fully know each other's temperament, and if it was a bad result, Xianghua was really a little sorry.
"Girl! Girl! Mama Wang came in at a rare trot and said happily, "Mrs. Li is here, Mrs. Li is here!" ”
Xianghua was also very happy, so she said, "Mama, are we ready for tea?" ”
"It's been ready for a long time, and the colors are ready." Mama Wang said happily, looked at Ying'er again and said, "Ouch, why did you forget to dress up a little more delicate today, I'll go pick a flower for you." ”
Ying'er cried and laughed and said: "Now that picking flowers and wearing them has become a terrible custom, I don't want to wear them." ”
Xianghua said to Mama Wang: "Mama doesn't know, Ying'er doesn't wear any flower on her head, it has to be a pomegranate flower." ”
Mama Wang really didn't know this detail, and suddenly looked at Xianghua in confusion, and then looked at Ying'er.
Xianghua smiled: "Mama, you better invite Mrs. Li in quickly, don't let people wait outside for a long time." ”
