Chapter 4: You Died When I Did? When the Xie family is dead?
The medicine still has to be drunk, not to mention that she is sick and uncomfortable, and she can't lift her strength, let alone have no strength to restrain her hands, she even feels that she has difficulty breathing and is covered in cold sweat when she even walks a few steps.
If something happens, there is not even a chance to resist.
Thinking of this, she didn't care how bitter the medicinal juice was, and when she blew it, she felt that the temperature was about the same, so she took a sip.
It's still about saving your life.
Mingxin Mingjing saw that she drank the medicine, and finally smiled: "The girl is so good today." ”
Ming Spiegel also intimately went to the outer Ming Hall and took the candied fruit in a small porcelain plate: "Hurry up and eat two candied fruits to press the bitterness in your mouth." ”
Xie Yixiao took two of them, and put them in his mouth, relieving the bitterness in his mouth a little, and after a long time, the bitterness dissipated, and the mouth was full of candied sweet taste.
She couldn't help but squint, and then smiled, and the two maidservants saw her laughing, and they also laughed, especially Mingxin, who laughed silly.
Zhou hurriedly left Qinseyuan, thought about it and felt unwilling, so he turned around and went to the old lady Jiang's Shou'an Hall, told her about it, and wanted Jiang to help persuade her.
However, Jiang was furious on the spot when he heard her words.
"Who told you to ask her this? Zhou, did you die when I did? When the Xie family is dead? ”
The Jiang family had only Changning Hou and Xie Yixiao's mother Gu Qinse and a daughter in his life, Changning Hou was abducted and trafficked when he was a child, and he was exiled for ten years, forcing the mother and son to separate.
Gu Qinse died early, leaving only Xie Yixiao, a girl, and the Jiang family naturally loved her very much, even a little more painful than Gu You.
I heard that the Zhou family wanted Xie Yixiao to marry instead, where could he sit still.
"You dare to let her marry instead! Don't you dare! ”
Zhou didn't expect her mother-in-law to have such a big temper, and she was a little stunned and a little aggrieved at the moment:
"Mother-in-law, I also think with a smile, that Wu'an Hou Mansion is indeed a good family affair, and the previous dowry was also very heavy, and if she marries in the future, her life will definitely not be bad."
"She married the wife of the prince, and when the prince succeeds to the title in the future, she will be the lady of the marquis."
"What Mrs. Hou is Mrs. Dog, even if she is a Mrs. Pig, she can't marry!"
Jiang sat on a sandalwood circle chair carved with Lingzhi, she was wearing a round-necked tunic embroidered with cranes, and her forehead was embroidered with lotus patterns, her hair was already a little gray, and the corners of her eyes were crawling with fine wrinkles.
At this moment, her face was angry, and even her eyes were red: "Good family, what good family?" To marry a substitute? Can you say Zhou's loss? Don't you think I'm a fool? ”
"For her sake? You're saying a nice thing, but it's just for her, for her to clean up the mess for your daughter. ”
"Or is it because of Ah Xuan? You can't tolerate her for Ah Xuan, and you want to marry her off as soon as possible? If you can't tolerate it, say earlier, I'll take her out to live, so as not to upset you and try to trample her. ”
"My Qinse, my mother is sorry for you, Gillian who almost hurt you!"
Gillian is the nickname given to her by Xie Yixiao's mother, and now, her parents are no longer there, and her grandfather and grandmother have also passed away, only the Jiang family will still call her by this nickname.
Jiang was about to beat his chest and cry bitterly as he spoke.
The Jiang family has been caring for many years, and she looks like a loving mother on weekdays, rarely when she is angry and angry, and she also says this kind of thing about moving out to live.
Doesn't this want people to poke the backbone of the Marquis of Changning's mansion and say that the children and grandchildren are unfilial and drive the old mother out of the house?
Zhou's heart was terrified: "Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law doesn't mean this, daughter-in-law ......"
Jiang closed his eyes: "Do you have this meaning in your heart, I don't want to listen to it more, and it doesn't matter how you and Mrs. Wu'anhou discuss, it doesn't matter who you let marry, the girls in the house are also up to you to choose, but Gillian can't." ”
"My Gillian is going to get married, and she also wants to be upright, none of the three books and six ceremonies are missing, and she wants to marry beautifully."
"Also, don't forget, her surname is Xie, and she is the Xie family."
"Her family affairs are that I can't be the master alone, you are an uncle, you want to marry someone else casually, or marry your daughter instead, you really think that the Xie family is at your mercy!"
Zhou lowered his head, silent and didn't know what to say, the handkerchief in her hand was pinched out of layers of folds by her, and the room was silent for a while.
Jiang Shi slowed down for a while, let out the breath in his heart, and then asked her, "How did you discuss it with Mrs. Wu'anhou?" ”
Zhou said: "Mrs. Wu'anhou means that she will come to meet the girl in the house in two days, and choose one of them from ......."
Speaking of the back, her voice was so thin that it was almost inaudible.
Jiang's hand turning the rosary paused, and she sneered: "Pick one?" The girl from my Changning Hou Mansion will let him choose whatever he wants? What about the palace draft? ”
Zhou's face turned red, and he also felt humiliated: "Mother-in-law, it was the daughter-in-law who disgraced the Changning Marquis Mansion, and the daughter-in-law really couldn't help it." ”
In the end, Gu You escaped from marriage, and the Marquis of Changning didn't take care of it, and people wanted to choose another person to be the bride, so they could only let them choose.
Jiang thought for a moment, and then ordered: "You have people call all the girls of the right age in the house." ”
Zhou explained: "Today they all went out of the house, and they heard that the students held a poetry meeting in Chang'an Building, so they went together to join in the fun. ”
Jiang said: "Send someone to invite them back, and invite them here directly." ”
Zhou didn't dare to say any more, so he had to say yes, and then sent someone to invite a few girls from the house back.
There are two rooms in the Hou Mansion of Changning, and there are five girls in total, except for the five girls Gu Yun who is relatively young, the rest are girls of appropriate age to be married.
Among them, Gu You, the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter, is the oldest, she is already seventeen years old, and she will set up a family affair after she is married, and this year is the time to get married, and the marriage date will be a month later.
Next is Gu Xiang, the second daughter-in-law, sixteen this year, her father Gu Erye spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and her mother was weak and incompetent, and she was delayed all her life, and she has not decided on a family affair so far.
Further down is Gu Yi, the third girl in the second room, who is the daughter of Gu Erye's favorite concubine Aunt Xu, who is also sixteen this year, and Gu Xiang is only three months apart.
This is a thousand choices, but she is a concubine, even if she has her father's love, but those powerful clan families don't look down on her, and Gu Yi and Aunt Xu, who are too poor, can't look down on her, and they are delayed.
The remaining four girls, Gu Ying, are fifteen this year, younger than Xie Yixiao, and will be in June this year.
It took about half an hour for the Zhou family to send people out, and they called all the girls in the house back.
Because of today's trip, these girls have been dressed up, the cloud bun is towering, the golden hairpin hosta, the brocade clothes are gorgeous, the flowers are red and willow green, like the purple and red flowers in the garden, each has its own beauty, each has its own delicate.
The girls stood in a row, full of flowers, and then stepped forward to salute.
"Meet Grandmother."
"Meet my mother (aunt)."
