The housekeeper's daughter-in-law and the maid of the house hurried out.

"Why didn't you tell me that Mrs. Zhang wanted to give Cousin Yuqing to Lao Su as a concubine?" Luo Danyan asked, barely able to suppress the anger in his heart.

Mrs. Luo sighed, "This didn't happen, it's just the Zhang family's thoughts." Telling you will only make you angry for nothing. ”

"Mother, if ......," said Rodin Young eagerly.

Mrs. Luo looked at him suspiciously.

Luo Danyang swallowed the words that almost blurted out, shook the fist in his hand, stabilized his mind, and asked instead, "What does Mother think of Cousin Yuqing?" ”

Mrs. Luo said with a smile: "Yuqing is a good girl, I heard Danxia say that Mr. Lin also praised her, and I appreciate her very much!" ”

"Yes, Mr. Lin praised her for her intelligence, quick thinking, and a strange woman." Rodin Young said with a smile.

Mrs. Luo nodded and sighed, "Her father and mother are all smart people!" ”

"What do you say...... I'll marry Yuqing's cousin, okay? Rodin Young asked.

Mrs. Luo's brain was blown up by one sentence, and she stood up and stared at Luo Danyang in disbelief, "What did you say?" ”

"Mother, I, I think Cousin Yuqing is very good, she is a good girl now, and she will be a good wife in the future." Luo Danyang's face flushed, and although he stammered, his eyes looked at Mrs. Luo firmly.

Once feelings arise, it is like planting a seed in the heart, and it takes root and sprouts unconsciously.

Mrs. Luo was still in shock, and did not speak for a long time.

Luo Danyang squatted on the ground, held his mother's hand, and said, "Doesn't my mother also think Yuqing is very good?" Why not? ”

Mrs. Luo's expression was complicated, she felt sorry for Zhang Yuqing, but the orphan daughter of her relatives and her future daughter-in-law were two different things.

Zhang Yuqing was only an orphan daughter of a relative who had a very good relationship back then, and she only had pity and love for Zhang Yuqing, but Zhang Yuqing wanted to be the wife of the Luo family's sister-in-law, and her family background was really thin and she couldn't take it.

"You know, your cousin Yuqing's parents died, and the Zhang family has not yet recognized her identity to the outside world, and she is no different from an orphan girl without the help of her mother's family." Mrs. Luo said slowly, "You will definitely enter the officialdom in the future, officialdom is dangerous, how difficult it is, you have known it since you were a child." When you enter the officialdom, other colleagues have a father-in-law to help you, but if you don't, you are a lot worse than others! Everyone wants to climb up, but others have two hands, and you only have one hand from the Luo family, how can you beat others? ”

Mrs. Luo looked at Luo Danyang, "Although it is a bit snobbish to say this, your father and I really hope that you can find a famous lady with a good family background as a wife, this is for your own good!" ”

Hearing his mother say this, Luo Danyang's mood calmed down, squatted on the ground, looked up at Mrs. Luo, and said sincerely: "I understand my father's mother's painstaking efforts, although I am young, but I always hope that she can have a smooth life, according to the best road in the eyes of the world, go down smoothly, do not have any wind and rain, and do not experience any hardships and misfortunes." ”

"But whether the days on this road are comfortable or not, only those who walk know it. I don't want a woman I haven't met to get married, I don't even know what kind of person she is, how can I entrust each other with my life? Rodan Young said.

Mrs. Luo raised her forehead and said: "The words of the matchmaker of the parents, blind marriage and dumb marriage, how many people only know what the other party looks like on the wedding night!" Why aren't you happy? If you're afraid that your father and I will pick on you something ugly, how about I arrange for you to take a look at it in advance? ”

Luo Danyang smiled and shook his head, "Mother, you know I didn't mean that. I want a woman I know and appreciate for her for the rest of my life and have children. ”

"You've only met Yuqing a few times before you know her?" Mrs. Luo asked rhetorically.

Luo Danyang is very sincere, "Although I have only met a few times, I have been shocked by her intelligence and beauty every time." I don't even dare to see her, I'm afraid that I will see her a few more times, I like her too much, and I will do something rude to make her hate me! ”

"Nonsense again!" Mrs. Luo nodded Luo Danyang's forehead angrily.

Luo Danyang was stunned, simply sat on the ground, and put his arm around Mrs. Luo, "Mother, if Cousin Yuqing is cared for by her parents, I naturally want to know more about her, and then think about lifelong events." But you have already said her situation, her grandparents don't care about her, and her aunt wants to exchange her for benefits all the time. If I hesitate any longer, by the time I make up my mind, she has already been arranged to marry by the Zhang family! ”

What good family can the Zhang family arrange for Zhang Yuqing? When the time came, Yuqing fell into the fire pit, and he regretted it for life.

Opportunities are always fleeting, so make a move when it's time to make a move, and hesitating will only miss the opportunity.

Mrs. Luo's expression was complicated and she did not speak.

"Does Mother dislike her?" Rodin Young asked softly.

Mrs. Luo shook her head, "I like her very much, and I pity her for being transparent and steady, and her life is difficult and pitiful." ”

Mrs. Luo let out a long sigh, "But it's because I like her that I don't want her to be my daughter-in-law." You are young now, and she is just the right color, so she naturally likes her tightly, but after a few years, you don't like her, what should she do? If you marry someone with a good family background, the relationship between husband and wife is weak, and you have to respect her and provide for her. But Yuqing has nothing, and you don't like her anymore, what should she do? She's been bitter enough since she was a child! How am I going to meet my cousin and cousin-in-law underground then? I told her that my son had been messing with her girl? ”

"Mother!" Rodin Yang's face flushed and stood up in disbelief, "Am I such a person in your eyes!" ”

Mrs. Luo was speechless, "Son, no one can say what will happen in the future......"

"Marriage is not child's play!" Rodin said loudly, "Since I asked to marry Yuqing's cousin in front of you, I naturally want to be good to her for the rest of my life and be with her for the rest of my life!" As you know, I love miscellaneous, and it would be great if my future wife could be equally proficient in it! If you find the daughter of an official eunuch, you have to urge me all day long to learn from the camp, get promoted and make a fortune, I don't like that! ”

Mrs. Luo looked at her resolute son and asked, "Have you really thought about it?" If you regret it in the future......"

"The path you chose, there is nothing to regret!" Rodin Young said firmly.

After a long time, Mrs. Luo sighed, "If Yuqing's father is still there, I can make the decision now, I can't say that people still look down on us, but now...... Even if I agreed, your father probably wouldn't have agreed. ”

"As long as my mother nods, my father's side, I will write to him personally." Luo Danyang said excitedly.

Luo Danyang hurriedly went back to write a letter to his father, as if he was writing a little late, and Zhang Yuqing was about to be stuffed into a sedan chair by the Zhang family and given to the old man as a concubine.

Mrs. Luo held her forehead with her hand, remembering Luo Danyang's posture of not marrying just now, and shook her head with a smile.

"Young people after all!" Mrs. Luo sighed, "No matter how steady and down-to-earth you usually behave, when you meet a girl you like, it's not like a frizzy stunned boy!" ”

The housekeeper's daughter-in-law who came in smiled and said, "Isn't it good to make the young master like it?" You don't have to worry about the fate of the cousin, as long as the cousin is your daughter-in-law, your mother-in-law comes forward to ask for the daughter-in-law's dowry, it is a matter of course, what else does the Zhang family have to say? It's the best of all three worlds! ”

"You actually really want to marry your cousin back as a daughter-in-law, right?" The housekeeper's daughter-in-law whispered, "I'm just afraid that the young master won't like it, and the master won't like it, so I never mentioned it." ”

If you don't want Zhang Yuqing to have anything to do with Luo Danyang at all, you should have been strict from the beginning, let alone let Luo Danyang take Zhang Yuqing to watch a polo match, she shouldn't have seen each other, and Luo Danyang went to see Zhang Yuqing three times and twice in the name of taking Luo Danxia, and Mrs. Luo didn't even stop her.

Mrs. Luo smiled but said nothing.

Luo Danxia ran in, snuggled up to her mother and sat down, and said with a smile: "I just heard it, does my brother want to marry Yuqing's cousin?" ”

"I didn't have a word! Don't go out and tell anyone! Mrs. Luo hurriedly advised.

Luo Danxia covered her mouth and smiled, showing off proudly, "I saw it a long time ago!" ”

"How do you tell?" Mrs. Luo came interested.

Luo Danxia smiled happily, "When my brother looked at Cousin Yuqing, his eyes were shining like lanterns, and he blushed at every turn, and two days ago, he asked me intentionally or unintentionally, when will Cousin Yuqing come to the house again!" It's clear that he wants to go to Cousin Yuqing, but under my banner! ”

Mrs. Luo supports her forehead, this stupid son! The performance is so obvious, I don't know if Yuqing can see it!

Zhang Yuqing returned to Zhangfu, and the next day, the people from Zhangfu came to inform her, asking her to prepare, and the whole family went to the temple three days later, saying that it was to burn incense and pray for the crown princess.

Mother Liu, who passed the word, sighed: "The crown princess is really a blessed person, she can be so favored by the emperor and the prince!" I heard that the female dependents of officials in Beijing are going to go, and tomorrow I am afraid that the door frames of the temples in the capital will be trampled on! ”

It's the Lantern Festival again, and it's the temple to pray for blessings.

"Yes, it's really a great grace!" Zhang Yuqing clasped her hands together and said with envy.

Before leaving, Liu's mother advised: "By the way, the girl has to dress plainly that day!" However, Liu's mother remembered that Zhang Yuqing didn't have that condition to dress up, so she didn't say more.

After Liu's mother left, Wang Chunniang asked curiously: "Pray for the crown princess again?" ”

Didn't you pray for blessings during the Lantern Festival? I heard that the congratulatory messages and articles wishing the crown princess a speedy health can be lined up from one end of Suzaku Street to the other.

Zhang Yuqing felt that either the crown princess was terminally ill and the medicine stone was ineffective, or the emperor and the prince wanted to show their benevolent side, or they ...... Either both.

On the day of incense, Zhang Yuqing picked up a dull and washed old clothes, and only wore a small, light yellow silk flower on her sideburns.

When she went out, Zhang Yuqing was arranged to sit in a car with Zhang Yushu.

Zhang Yushu looked at Zhang Yuqing's bare ears, took out a pair of silver fan-shaped earrings from the baggage he carried, and put them on for Zhang Yuqing.
