Chapter 119: Marriage
"Are you saying that the son of the Yuezhou prefect's family has fallen in love with Hengyu and wants to marry my family?"
In the tone of the Marquis of Zhongyong, there was irrepressible pleasure.
Just by seeing his expression, Wang could actually guess the other party's thoughts.
At this time, according to common sense, she should take the initiative to talk to her husband about the benefits of the Yuezhou Zhizhou family, and agree with the other party marrying her daughter into the Meng family.
But for some reason, at this moment, she inexplicably didn't want to speak.
But fortunately, Marquis Zhongyong didn't care about this, he just said after a little thought: "Are you sure that you are the son of the Yuezhou prefect's family, and you are the eldest son, not a side branch of the concubine?" ”
"Naturally, it is the eldest son Meng Wencong, it is said that the other party is very sincere, and the matchmaker and I are very clear about these things." Wang said.
When the Marquis of Zhongyong heard this, he clapped his hands with joy.
He turned around and shook Wang's hand and said, "Madam, this is a good thing." Although the Meng family does not have a title, the prefect of Yuezhou holds the real power of a place, and he doesn't know how much better his life is than that of us who are declining. Now Hengyu's reputation in Beijing has fallen to the bottom, she is so old, but no one has ever come to the door to propose marriage. If this continues, won't it make people laugh at an old girl from our Zhongyong Marquis Mansion? ”
Although the women of Great Wei do not marry when they reach their age, they no longer need to pay taxes like in the previous dynasty. But Su Hengyu's age is really not small among unmarried girls, because she always caused trouble in the past, she also indirectly delayed the marriage of other children in the family.
At this point, the Marquis of Zhongyong had a lot of complaints about her, but he didn't say much.
Now that someone is finally willing to come to propose marriage, or a local magistrate like the prefect of Yuezhou, Zhongyong Hou feels that if he lets go of this family business, it will be really stupid!
Thinking of this, Marquis Zhongyong hurriedly said to his wife: "Madam, don't think about it anymore, hurry up and settle this family business!" ”
Hearing her husband's words, Wang hesitated: "However, that Meng Gongzi has already married two wives, could it be that there is something wrong with Meng Wencong?" ”
Wang felt that she was extremely conflicted, on the one hand, she wanted to send this disobedient daughter out, but at the same time, her mind kept popping up with her infinite expectations for this child when she was pregnant.
At that time, she really loved this child wholeheartedly, but fate was not up to others, and everything changed later.
Marquis Zhongyong didn't know what the Wang family was thinking, he frowned and said, "If people have never died two wives, do you think the Meng family can look down on Hengyu?" ”
"Don't blame me for speaking badly, if I were taught by other children, I would not be so harsh. But Hengyu is really ...... When she first came back, she was very childish, and although she was a little more lively later, she was too bold and reckless. Now he is even more talking nonsense outside, and he even talks nonsense about the affairs of his family regardless of it. ”
"Such a girl, are normal people willing to accept her? There are so many unmarried men in Beijing, and even the gentleman who makes trouble all day long is unwilling to have such a wife, if she misses the Meng family, and if she continues to delay, she will really want to accompany the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for a long time and become a sister-in-law! ”
This last sentence directly shocked Wang Shi's dizziness, she held her head and slowly sat back in the chair.
But the Marquis of Zhongyong didn't seem to be excited enough, and continued: "Isn't it enough for her to delay the other children in the family? The boss has only become a good family affair at such an old age, and Baozhu is such a well-behaved child, and it has not been until now that he has made a marriage with the Guogong Mansion. If you keep her any longer, she will cause even greater disasters in the future, and the unlucky one will be the entire Hou Mansion! ”
Wang tightened her grip on the armrest of her chair, and the cold touch on it made her gradually calm down.
She began to feel that the entire Hou Mansion was a mess, and all kinds of things were entangled, making her unable to figure it out.
This mess seems to have been wrapped up after the eldest daughter appeared.
She suddenly recalled that last year, she let Su Hengyu leave the Hou Mansion with only one personal maid in the winter and went to Zhuangzi.
obviously said that she had already given up at that time, so what is she pretending to be here now?
Wang laughed in her heart, she was laughing at her hypocrisy.
"Hou Ye is right." Wang closed his eyes, "We should go down to this family business." ”
She could guess that there was something wrong with that Meng Wencong, and she could also guess that the jewel was hostile to Hengyu.
But her partiality can no longer be corrected, a well-behaved and sensible daughter, and a daughter who is covered in thorns and does not want to be close to herself.
After all, Wang couldn't treat everyone equally, and she once again gave up on the ill-fated child.
So, on the third day after the matchmaker came to the door, news finally came from the Hou Mansion that the other party should get this marriage and agreed to the idea of the Meng family to complete the wedding of the two children as soon as possible.
Meng Wencong, who got the news, held the marriage gift sent by the Hou Mansion in his hand, and his eyes were full of smugness and ruthlessness.
Su Hengyu, if you resist me again, won't it still fall into my hands?
He couldn't wait to see Su Hengyu's desperate and sad face.
……
The brush unconsciously slipped out of his hand, leaving a stain on the paper.
Su Hengyu rubbed his constantly beating eyelids, always feeling inexplicably flustered.
Ziyun on the side saw that something was wrong with her, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask a few words of concern, and by the way, he took out a clean handkerchief and wiped the ink on Su Hengyu's hand.
Su Hengyu waved his hand: "It's nothing, it may be that I didn't sleep well last night." You don't have to worry about me, go and help Mama Qin see if the things you need to go to Huguo Temple tomorrow are ready, and the sesame oil money must be prepared in advance. ”
The status of Huguo Temple in the Great Wei is not low, and tomorrow is the day when Master Zhijing preaches the scriptures. Su Hengyu wants to visit the other party, whether it is himself or the attendant's dress, he must pay attention to the dress.
For this reason, Mama Qin even taught Ziyun and the others in advance, so that they were not allowed to talk nonsense when they went outside.
Ziyun smiled when she heard this: "Miss, this is underestimating Mama Qin, where does Mama need help from me, a little girl, she has prepared everything early in the morning, and even the clothes you will wear tomorrow have been carefully scented." ”
Su Hengyu also felt that she was too nervous, Mama Qin had always done things properly, otherwise she would not have been arranged by the Wang family to take care of herself.
Because she was really nervous in her heart, Su Hengyu felt that she couldn't handle the matter at hand in this state, so she simply gave herself a day off and had a good rest.
Early in the morning of the second day, Su Hengyu was woken up by Ziyun, changed into a light-colored dress that was not rude, and took Mama Qin, Yan Shen and others towards Liuyun Mountain, where Huguo Temple was located.
The distance between Liuyun Mountain and Sujiazhuang was not far, and Su Hengyu's team arrived not long after.
It's just that there is still a long step to climb Liuyun Mountain, and ordinary people have to walk for at least half an hour if they want to climb up.
Naturally, there are special bamboo chairs here, and if you don't want to climb on your own, you can ask a porter on the side of the road to help you lift them.
Su Hengyu's physical strength is good, after that attack, she has the habit of exercising every day, so she plans to climb up on foot by herself.
But Mama Qin was old after all, and Su Hengyu was worried about her body, so she called her porter and left a group of people to take care of her.
When everyone had packed up, they walked up to the top of the hill in unison.
