Chapter 261: Shi Family's Daughter
"It turned out to be Mrs. Wu in person, may I ask what Mrs. is doing?" There is no need to guess the identity of the person who came, Li Kun knew who it was.
Concubine Wu's mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu.
She was sold by her family to the Wu family as a child bride when she was five years old, and since then the neighbors she has known each other have only called "Xiao Wu" and "Xiao Wu", and over time, even she has forgotten what her original surname was.
It's not that Li Kun knew Mrs. Wu in advance, but that this person is too recognizable.
It stands to reason that when this kind of garden party is gathered, everyone dresses in a plain direction, so as not to steal the limelight of the host's house, or cover up the scenery because they are too brightly dressed.
But the man in front of him is wearing a real thing. It's too festive and rich!
It can be clearly seen that the elderly person is dressed like a little girl, wearing a foundation skirt embroidered with red flowers and green leaves on the upper body, and the lower body is wearing a horse-faced skirt with a similar style but a glass green background and even reflective.
In addition, the red lips and thick eyebrows are also black, and the most important thing is that Li Kun saw that the thick foundation on Mrs. Wu's face began to fall off!
Li Kun instantly felt that his simple aesthetic was under attack.
The clothes he wore were fine, but they just made people feel that this person was pretending to be tender, and it was nothing to Li Kun, when he used to follow Jia Hui to several Zhuangzi outside the city to inspect and visit the veterans supported by Jia Hui, many of their female dependents wore this color.
However, they are still different from the person in front of them, they have no money in their hands, they are not rich, they have no money to buy more clothes, and this brightly colored dress may have been bought for a major occasion several years ago. In addition, the living environment does not need to be groomed and powdered, so it is understandable to paint this ghostly look.
But this one.
Li Kun didn't know what to say, so she just thought she was talented and had a unique taste.
"Hehe, Mrs. Li, the old body is so polite!" Mrs. Wu learned the figure in the play and gave Li Kun a pretentious salute
Since you yourself call yourself old, can you not dress so girly and wear some colors that you should wear at your age!
The soul of complaining in Li Kun's heart burned violently, but on the surface he was still silent, and returned the gift to Mrs. Wu with a very dignified but somewhat formulaic smile.
"I don't know what Mrs. Wu is doing when she comes to find a concubine?" Although Li Kun knew in his heart what Mrs. Wu was here for, he must not speak first about this matter.
Whoever speaks first is the weaker party!
"Hehe, this." Mrs. Wu smiled, the folds on her face were highlighted, and she lost a lot of foundation, and the ladies who had spoken to Li Kun before turned their heads silently or lowered their heads, not wanting to see this terrifying scene even once.
"It doesn't matter, the lords of your and my two families are ministers in the same palace, and they are all officials of the imperial court, not outsiders, Mrs. Wu has something to say." Anyway, this matter is not Li Kun's worry, when she wants to say it, she will naturally say it.
Moreover, Li Kun also gave her a little sweetness, and held the Wu master of their Wu family slightly, calling him "Imperial Court Official", which can be regarded as throwing out a little bait.
"Hahehe, it's good, the old body will be cheeky to say it!" Sure enough, the fish bites!
When she heard Li Kun's sentence "being a minister in the same hall", Mrs. Wu's heart instantly became excited!
The two of them have been rubbing around at people's banquets all these years, and many people hate this kind of thing, can they not know that this couple who have been in the market for decades does not know? But what is it for?
Isn't it just to get used to the existence of the Wu family, for the sake of this sentence "the same hall is a minister", to really get rid of the impression of a lucky nouveau riche in the eyes of ordinary people, and then truly integrate into the feudal family of the Great Qi Dynasty?
Just now, knowing that Mrs. Li, who had only met face-to-face for the first time today, said this sentence herself, Mrs. Wu was immediately moved and wanted to cry!
Seeing Mrs. Wu's moving appearance, how could Li Kun, who had already been trained, not know what she was thinking?
But it doesn't matter, just now she also kept an eye on her and didn't say everything.
After all, can "being a minister in the same palace" be the same as "being a noble"?
Even a petty official in a green robe occasionally appears in the court hall and is in the same hall as Jia Hui, and Wu Bing, the earl who sits behind Jia Hui in the martial arts class, is of course also "in the same hall".
There are many thoughts in his heart, but Li Kun's face still has that formulaic cordiality, this face is already recognized by the wives of other families, but they will not talk much, but this is a dimensionality reduction blow to Mrs. Wu.
Mrs. Wu, who had never intersected with Li Kun before, suddenly felt like a spring breeze, and her good impression of Li Kun increased greatly, and she felt that the calculation that she had twisted and pinched in front of Mrs. Li before was really undeserved, and she was so sorry for Mrs. Li's sincerity!
"Since Mrs. looks at the old body like this, the old body will speak bluntly!" Mrs. Wu took a deep breath, "Madam, in fact, there is nothing serious, but you also know that it is the younger brother of Concubine Wu, the eldest son of the old man is the son of the old man and the man of my family, and he has been a good and gentle person since he was a child."
Leaning over to see the lively Shui Lou pouted when he heard this, a twenty-seven-year-old child is still called an old man? What about the two sons who came later?
What are those who are forty or fifty years old and have a child?
And he has a pure and gentle temperament, and he knows etiquette and etiquette, and the old lady knows that there are more than ten cases of him robbing people's daughters and forcibly seizing people's land, so a pure and gentle one!
Until the ladies of the Wu family, who were the eldest of the Wu family, looked at Mrs. Wu with contempt.
Li Kun naturally also knew about this Wu family man, as early as when she just learned that this person wanted to marry Xiangyun, Li Kun ordered Huang Li to collect his information, in terms of understanding the Wu family man, Mrs. Wu and Wu Bing, the parents of the parents, may not have a comprehensive understanding of her Li Kun.
However, Li Kun still maintained that smile: "The reputation of the Wu family's eldest lang, the concubine also knows it, what the lady wants to say is about the eldest man of your mansion?" ”
Mrs. Wu's smile froze on her face as she spoke, and her face instantly turned red with shame, but the foundation on her face was too thick for others to see.
This. It's a little exaggerated to praise it, but she is also clear about what her son is, but it was also caused by the sudden wealth and demons. It wasn't until his emperor's son-in-law beat his brother-in-law and used dragon qi to dispel the demons in his heart that the son returned to his original honest appearance, and he never left his hand tail for anyone to discover.
However, after all, the previous things had been done, and it was naturally not difficult for the power of the etheric captain to know this, so Mrs. Li would have a bad impression of her eldest son
Yes, that's it!
"Heh, hehe. Madam, my eldest son was spoiled by the old father and mother and mother, and it is indeed a little light and heavy, but he is a good boy, he has lost money! Those people are also very happy to collect the money! Mrs. Wu explained in a bit of a panic, and then when she felt more and more contemptuous eyes sticking to her, Mrs. Wu gave up explaining.
Forget it, so be it.
It's still Mrs. Li, her eyes are always the same and very kind
Pursing her lips, the lipstick mark rubbed by such a move expanded again, and Mrs. Wu organized the language: "Madam, it's like this. A few days ago, the old body was not happy, my son is a filial person, and when he saw my uncomfortable appearance, he was naturally anxious, so he ran to the White Horse Temple to pray for the old body."
As she spoke, the more Mrs. Wu thought about it, the more distressed she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her eldest son was really sensible, and even shed a few tears.
Li Kun quietly watched Mrs. Wu crying, wiping tears and blowing her nose, without saying a word throughout the whole process.
"Later. Later, after my husband burned incense, he was about to go home, but he suddenly saw a girl who was accompanying her relatives to repay her wishes, and my husband liked her at a glance!
It's just that there are too many people who go to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and I didn't have time to ask who the girl was, so I was taken out of the temple, and I waited for several hours, and the curfew was almost over, and I didn't wait for the girl and her family, there was no way, my eldest man could only go back to the city." Mrs. Wu's eyes showed a hint of regret.
What a good time, and what if you wait a little longer? With the good skin of his eldest son, he can't coax a teenage girl who has not been deeply involved in the world?
When the time comes, if the raw rice is cooked and matured, what can the historian do to the Wu family? The Wu family is the maiden family of Concubine Wu, and they are the earls of the Holy Chrysostom and Yuyan, so can the historian still carry a knife and slaughter them all?
It's not like pinching your nose to admit it.
It's a pity, his son is not angry, and he doesn't want to wait longer!
Li Kun remained silent.
If she didn't know what was going on, she might really believe that the Wu family had fallen in love with Shi Xiangyun at first sight.
It was clear that he wanted to rob the people's girls as usual, but when he sent someone to do it, he found that Xiangyun was guarded by the veterans of the Shi family, and the green-skinned hooligans hired to do dirty work were all cut down by the veterans and scared away!
"Oh? Whose girl is it, who actually made your mansion Lang fall in love at first sight? Li Kun said something casually and let the conversation continue.
"Madame, you're on point!" Mrs. Wu recovered her mood for a while, "The girl that my eldest man has taken a fancy to is none other than the maiden family of Mrs. Guifu, the eldest girl of the Shi family!" ”
As soon as Mrs. Wu's words came out, the surroundings instantly fell into calm.
People don't know what to say.
Shui Lou rolled his eyes, not to mention the historians, it is the nobles below who are doing it with real swords and real guns, even if it is only a viscount and baron, how many people are willing to marry you?
Joke!
Not to mention any other "fortunate jin", "nouveau riche" and the like, that is secondary, otherwise those jinshi who come out every year are also considered "nouveau riche".
With the temperament, arrogance and even abandonment of his subordinates, the father who loves his daughter will take his daughter to that fire pit. Ah no, push in the manure pit?
And with the Wu family's biggest backer, Concubine Wu's virtue, that is, the queen doesn't want to deal with her, if she continues like this, maybe that day she will completely annoy the queen mother, and she doesn't know how to die!
When the Wu family fell, the first to go up and cut people with knives were the Taiwei and the King of Volunteers, who grew up in front of the queen mother since childhood!
And how could they, who were eating behind Taiwei and King Yiyong, lose their minds and marry the Wu family?
"The eldest girl of the Shi family. Xiangyun," Li Kun tilted his head in surprise, "But Xiangyun is only in time for this winter, and my old lady has also said that she wants to marry Xiangyun to Baoyu, the second son of my family's second room."
The two of them have no guesses, childhood sweethearts grew up, the Shi family and my Jia family have no opinion on this, and they are planning to make a marriage book after Xiangyun and Lu! ”
After speaking, Li Kun seemed to sigh with great regret and apology.
This is not an excuse that Li Kun came up with casually, but something that the historian and the old lady talked about and acquiesced in.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, Jia Hui doesn't like Jia Baoyu. But Jia Hui just thinks that this kid knows how to mess with the maid when he doesn't do anything all day long, and his personality is like dough in front of outsiders and even himself, and he really doesn't take responsibility when something happens, and he is quite childish, as if he is spoiled, and he hates iron but not steel.
In fact, Jia Hui will still treat the second room of the big house and even all the younger generations of the entire Jia family equally, and every year on Baoyu's birthday, Jia Hui will also help him make a leather belt or leather boots as a gift.
The two cousins of the Shi family also knew this, and knew that marrying the second room would not destroy the relationship between the Shi family and the Taiwei.
Besides, his aunt will definitely leave her private house of nearly one million taels to Baoyu in a hundred years, plus the property that the five sons of Rongguo Mansion will divide and share with Baoyu in the future, as long as Xiangyun keeps an eye on it, his eldest brother Jia Zhu will help take advantage of it, which is enough for their young couple to have a few children and live with Hemeimei for a lifetime, which can be regarded as worthy of the eldest brother who died early!
And the two villains also have feelings, so the historian pushed his hand to make adult beauty.
"Huh? Hearing Li Kun's words, Mrs. Wu immediately made a difficulty.
The girl of the Shi family has really been decided. Hey, no, it's just a verbal agreement, and the marriage letter hasn't been officially signed yet!
"Hehe, madam, as the saying goes, this good girl asks for a hundred things! Just like a good girl like Miss Xiangyun, the matchmaker is going to smooth the threshold of the historian! Besides, isn't it that the marriage book has not been decided yet? Mrs. Wu bent even lower.
"The old body begged Mrs., that kid in my family really loves Miss Xiangyun so much that he doesn't think about tea and dinner, and everyone is so thin these days that he has no chin!
Madam, my Wu family really has no way to contact the two marquis of the Shi family, and I am tired of you being affected, so help my Wu family persuade and persuade you!
Your house is powerful and powerful, which girl doesn't want to marry into it? If you let go and let Young Master Baoyu choose, I'm afraid you will be dazzled! But my Wu family, Wu family"
Mrs. Wu let out a low sob
"Although my Wu family is already a count, which noble family can afford to be born as a butcher? Now my children finally take a fancy to the girl in the family
Madame, do well, and fulfill my son. The Wu family will definitely not forget your great kindness, and the lady in the palace will also accept your affection, and when the two princes grow up in the future, they will definitely repay the lady and take care of the Jia family! ”
Mrs. Wu was still sobbing, but the people around her who were still whispering fell silent in an instant, and looked at Mrs. Wu with a cold face.
Directly in front of Mrs. Wu, Li Kun, who was sitting on the stone bench, also lost her gentle smile, and looked at Mrs. Wu without joy or sadness.
