159 Two choices
Shen Tingjun said that he wanted to accompany the old lady at home, but the old lady's combat effectiveness was too strong, and the next afternoon, he wanted to run away.
Not for anything else, just because the old lady brought up the old things again, and talked about Chu Yi, the sixth girl of the Zhenguo Mansion.
In the eyes of the old lady, that girl was really good.
"That girl has filial piety, and she looks dignified and generous. She has been taught under the knees of the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion all the year round, and her upbringing and knowledge are first-class. Coupled with the courtyard of the Zhenguo Mansion, if you marry this girl and enter the door, you will never be insulted. ”
He chattered again: "Before you went south, I told you about it, and you were not very happy. But at that time, you were busy going out on errands, and Chu Yi's girl didn't enter Beijing, so I thought I'd wait first. But now we can't wait any longer, that girl has only been in Beijing for a few days, and she will become fragrant. More than half of the matchmakers in the entire capital run to the Zhenguo Mansion every day, and the threshold of the Zhenguo Mansion is about to be broken. ”
Chu Yi's girl is now the best choice for a good daughter-in-law in the hearts of mothers-in-law. After all, this girl not only stands out for herself, but she also has a cousin who is the crown princess in her family. Although it's just a cousin.,But it's similar to the sister-in-law of the same mother.。 Today, when the prince's position is stable, he can become a brother-in-law with the prince, and the future of his life is broken, and there is no need to worry.
The old lady implicitly pointed out her consideration, and Shen Tingjun replied directly: "I grew up with the prince since I was a child, and I don't care about another layer of identity bonds. ”
Old lady: "I know that you and the prince have always been good, but if you can kiss each other, won't you be closer?" ”
"No, I don't."
The old lady couldn't make sense of her eldest son, Gu Zi sulked, "Isn't it that you still think about Evergreen......"
"Mother!" Shen Tingjun interrupted her and said what she didn't have, and said directly in her heart, "I have a favorite woman in my heart, and I have also made up my mind to marry her." If you are really idle, you might as well help me prepare the dowry, and wait for the next year to go with me to get hired. ”
This thunder can completely calm the old lady!
Not only the old lady, but even Shen Tinglan and Shen Tingyi, who had already walked to the courtyard, didn't bother to let people report it first, but they walked in as soon as they lifted the curtain.
Shen Tinglan couldn't wait to ask, "Does the eldest brother have a favorite woman?" That's a good thing! I just don't know which lady it is? The eldest brother said the candidate, and the mother could arrange for the future sister-in-law to come to the house as a guest, or send some New Year's gifts to the sister-in-law's family or something. ”
Shen Tingyi also said: "It's this reason." ”
As a younger sibling, the second lady is not good at pointing fingers at the eldest brother's family affairs. But her heart is indeed the same as a cat scratch, itching badly.
You must know that your own big brother can definitely be called an eye-catcher. After all, he can't even look down on a lady like Changrong, and he also turns a blind eye to many famous ladies in the capital, and now he says that he has a crush on someone and wants to marry someone...... The second lady really wants to know where the other party is sacred, and how he is born to look like a country and a city. Otherwise, how can the eldest brother, who has always been cold-hearted, be moved sincerely, and report the matter to his mother, and let his mother arrange a dowry?
This future sister-in-law is definitely not an ordinary person, and when she contacts her sister-in-law in the future, she must carry snacks.
The second lady's mind didn't need to be said, she only said that she was stared at by everyone in the house, but Shen Tingjun was not flustered at all.
After the two younger brothers sat down one after another, Shen Tingjun said Fang Cai's words again generously, "I do have a crush, and I also intend to ask to marry." Just ......"
"Just what?" Everyone in the room pricked up their ears and lifted their hearts.
"It's just that the timing is not right now, and the marriage proposal will be arranged for the next year."
The old lady also had no intention of asking, why is the timing wrong now? She was afraid that his eldest son would regret it again, so she hurriedly said, "It's okay in the coming year, my mother will pick an auspicious day for you first, and then repair and take care of the yard where you live." However, son, since you said that you will get married next year, then this proposal should be arranged on the agenda first. Do you think you came up with the idea of proposing a new year, or did February pass? If it doesn't work, it's March...... It can't be too late, and the rest of the ceremonies have to be taken after the proposal, and the bits and pieces are also delayed for a lot of time. And the day after tomorrow will get hotter and hotter, and if the bride can't marry in May, she will have to suffer a lot on the day she gets married. ”
The second lady pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, her mother-in-law is really, cute, don't want it.
I said that I was not in a hurry, but I arranged it in January, February and March. That's not the rush? This is simply burning eyebrows.
However, it was obvious that the second lady felt that the old lady was in a hurry, but Shen Tingyi and Shen Tinglan didn't think that the old lady's arrangement was inappropriate at all. To say that the time is indeed a bit rushed, but isn't it because the eldest brother is old and can't be delayed any longer.
Several people looked at Shen Tingjun blankly, waiting for him to reply.
And Shen Tingjun calculated the delivery date of Sang Twist Month, she was pregnant in June and July, and the date of delivery was probably around April of the next year. She was in labor in March, and her belly must have been very big. At that time, if he dares to lead his mother over to propose marriage, she will dare to give birth to him in advance.
Shen Tingjun never dared to arrange it like this, and only said, "It's too late to designate in the first half of next year, wait for the second half of the year." I will pick the auspicious day of the zodiac, and my mother only needs to prepare the dowry and the new house. ”
The old lady was very reluctant, but no matter how reluctant she was, she couldn't help it. After all, the eldest son has always been true to his word, and if he has made up his mind, no matter how much they put forward their opinions, it is useless.
But think about it from another angle, Da Lang has the heart to marry again, which is a good thing.
It is said that a good meal is not afraid of being late, since Da Lang and left, she has been waiting for ten years, and now she still cares about this year and a half?
I was relieved, but the old lady's face was still tense.
She said to Shen Tingjun, "Don't lie to me this time, if you dare to fool me again, I will cry in front of your father's spirit later." ”
Shen Tingjun has one head and two big, "Mother, when did I lie to you?" When have I fooled you? I said that next year's proposal will be next year's proposal, and strive to let you drink daughter-in-law tea at the end of the year. Wait in peace. ”
Shen Tingjun fooled the old lady, but he didn't fool Shen Tingyi. I heard Shen Tingyi ask coldly: "Big brother, let's talk about it, you haven't told us yet, who is the sister-in-law you want to marry?" I thought about it just now, you are afraid that you have never been in contact with the school-age ladies in the capital. Did the future sister-in-law meet the eldest brother when he was in Minzhou or Northwest? ”
Everyone in the room was distracted, and they looked at Shen Tingjun with straight eyes, waiting for his answer.
Shen Tingjun frowned, glanced at the second brother, and told the truth. "Not really. I had contact with it in the capital before...... Well, don't ask, who it is, you'll find out then. ”
That being said, but you are so hungry that everyone will be cranky for a long time afterward.
However, everyone also knows Shen Tingjun's temper. If he says it or not, then no matter how much you ask, it will be in vain. So, although the curiosity could not turn into a roundworm in the eldest brother's stomach and find out what the eldest brother really thought, at this time they could only shut up and stop talking about this topic.
On this day, everyone had lunch together in the old lady's room, and when it was time for the lunch break and the old lady was ready to rest, everyone dispersed.
The second lady took the sleepy Sister Xin and left one step earlier, leaving Shen Tingjun and the four brothers and sisters, one came out of the old lady's room, and the other walked out of the door.
Shen Yuyao slept lazily today, and when she got up, the big guy finished saying everything he had to say. She later realized that she learned the news that her eldest brother was going to marry a wife from everyone's words, so she pestered her eldest brother to find out who that person was.
Unfortunately, nothing.
So when she walked out at this moment, Shen Yuyao frowned, her mouth bulged, and she could hang up the oil bottle.
She was disgruntled and waited for her eldest brother to come and coax her. But the eldest brother didn't pay attention to her little temper at all, and only said to her when they were about to part, "I came out of the palace yesterday, and Your Majesty gave me some jewels and jade jewelry, silk and silk silk, if you like it, come and pick out two." ”
Shen Yuyao was full of joy, and all the previous unhappiness was gone.
But soon she thought of something again, so she muttered: "Big brother doesn't need these things, didn't he send them directly to his mother before?" Why did you put it in your warehouse this time? Then he made a sudden realization, "Because I'm going to marry my sister-in-law." Sure enough, man, as soon as you have a sweetheart, your mother and sister have to stand aside. ”
also asked her to pick two, those things used to be available to her. Now, not only is there a limit in the quantity, but I am afraid that those who are particularly good-looking and brilliant, the eldest brother has also stayed in advance and is ready to give it to the sister-in-law in private.
Shen Yuyao's heart was sour, and when she thought of Xu Lingwei's words at this time, she really had a special feeling.
At the beginning, Lingwei said that the brothers married their sisters-in-law, and they and their sisters-in-law will be a family in the future, whether they are their mothers or sisters, they have to stand aside.
In the past, she was dissatisfied with Lingwei's words and felt that Lingwei was alarmist. After all, her three brothers married her sister-in-law, but she didn't feel that her brothers had snubbed her. But now, just looking at the way the eldest brother values her sister-in-law, she can taste Lingwei's mood when she said that.
Sure enough, the eldest brother and sister-in-law will be a family in the future. As for her, she became an outsider after that.
Shen Yuyao died of grievances, but even if she was wronged, she would not delay her to go to her brother's warehouse to choose things.
Even with the intention of revenge, she didn't choose two at all and stopped, but picked up four, five, six or seven.
Anyway, it wasn't until she couldn't hold it anymore that the depression in her heart dissipated. Only then did he go back to his yard with today's loot with great interest.
Let's say that when Shen Yuyao was sweeping in the warehouse, Shen Tinglan, who had left before, suddenly appeared in Shen Tingjun's courtyard again.
Shen Tingjun still lives in the study in the front yard, but he is ready to rebuild the Songbai Courtyard where he lived when he was young.
Although the Songbai Temple was overhauled as early as after he and Changrong left, it is now completely impossible to see the appearance of the earlier one. But as soon as he thought that this was the courtyard where he was going to live with Sang Xuanyue in the future, Shen Tingjun was picky. He couldn't even see the scenery in the courtyard, so he had to change it and rebuild it; All the furnishings in the house should also be renewed...... Except for the pull-out bed.
When I think of that stepping bed, I can't help but think of something that makes people think about it.
And Shen Tinglan came over at this time.
Shen Tinglan came in and first looked at the eldest brother to the end, but Shen Tingjun didn't see it, but he didn't leave him alone, and asked him to "say it if you have something to say." ”
Shen Tinglan hesitated, and finally said what he was going to say.
It turned out that Zhou Baolu was picked up.
As he said earlier, he would send Zhou Baolu to the family temple for a year of cultivation. In fact, not long after Shen Tingjun went south, Zhou Baolu was picked up.
Shen Tinglan talked about this, his face was embarrassed and helpless, "Brother Rong had smallpox, and the high fever did not go away for a few days, and he kept calling his mother when he was in a coma. "He is just this one child, how can he be willing to be so wronged by Brother Rong?
Although through the efforts of Taizu and Empress Sheng Zhaoming, smallpox is no longer a terminal disease, as long as cowpox is planted in advance, it can be easily cured. But Brother Rong is only three years old, far from the age of pox. But who would have thought that he would not go out once, and when he came back, he contracted smallpox.
The child was lying pitifully on the bed, and the water and rice did not enter, and he and his mother were worried that it would be bad. The imperial doctor prescribed medicine, but they poured a few pieces to no avail, and with the idea that Brother Xu Shirong would not be able to survive, he took Zhou Baolu back from the family temple.
I don't know if it was accompanied by my biological mother, or if the medicine I drank earlier finally worked. Brother Rong gradually got better, and then successfully survived the catastrophe and gradually recovered.
However, as Brother Rong recovered, he became more and more inseparable from Zhou Baolu.
He and his mother wanted to send Zhou Baolu home to the temple, but Brother Rong cried at the top of his throat. And this time is not as good as last time, after Zhou Baolu was sent away last time, Brother Rong cried for a few days, but after being coaxed by adults, his mood gradually improved. This time, Xu was worried that he would not be able to see his mother for a long time when he left, or what others said beside Brother Rong, after Zhou Baolu was sent away, Brother Rong did not eat or drink, and stubbornly wanted to wait for his mother to come back.
He and his mother tried their best, but they didn't let Brother Rong change his mind. Seeing the child lying on the bed once again dying, his eyes were full of pitiful tears, in the end, he was the master and took Zhou Baolu from the mountain.
If it was the first time that Zhou Baolu was taken down the mountain, it could be said that it was excusable, then this time, he knew that he could not do it.
Shen Tinglan also hated Zhou Baolu, and even after learning that she deliberately pushed her family affairs to Sang Xuanyue and framed her reputation, he felt that she had a bad character and hated her even more.
But his son is too weak and pitiful, he can be ruthless to Zhou Baolu, but he can't turn a blind eye to his son's situation.
Shen Tinglan faced the eldest brother shamelessly, he felt that the eldest brother would definitely think that he was a woman, that he was too indecisive, and that he was ashamed to be the son of the Marquis of Wu'an.
Because of this, he felt very guilty after seeing his eldest brother, and he wanted to apologize to his eldest brother, but he couldn't say anything.
At this moment, he finally said what was in his heart, and Shen Tinglan was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. But as soon as Shen Tingjun spoke, he was pushed into the boundless purgatory again.
Shen Tingjun said: "Give you two choices. First, leave the Zhou family, and you husband and wife will go out of the house separately; Second, send Zhou home to the temple, and then don't return to the house, I just think that the previous thing has never happened. ”
