Chapter 10: The Yellow Mansion Proposes Marriage

For several months, Chen Guangrui studied hard, deduced the topic, read and stayed overnight, and also listened to Miss Yin's words, no longer went to the South Street stall to sell words, really didn't listen to the things outside the window, and only read the sage books, so many months, Guangrui consciously improved his understanding and mastery of the scriptures a lot.

At this time, after Yin Wenjiao came back from South Street, she untied the knot in her heart, and her heart was happy, and she often saw her laughing and laughing with the female relatives in the house.

One day, Yin's father, Yin Kaishan, returned home from the morning court, and after striding into the back hall, he shouted excitedly: "Madam, ma'am!"

Mother Yin heard the sound and said with a smile: "What can make the master happy like this?"

Yin Kaishan stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "Madam, don't you know, today after the early dynasty, the servant of the Ministry of Justice, Lord Huang, wants to kiss me, saying that the second son of his family admires the talent and appearance of the house, and wants to talk to me about this family business." ”

Mother Yin also smiled when she heard this: "Oh, this is also a good thing, the family of the servant of the Ministry and my Yin family are also the right family, but I don't know how old the second son of Huang is, and what is his character?"

"The second son of Huang is 20 years old this year, and the old man hasn't inquired about his character, so the son of the Shilang family should have no bad deeds. ”

"Then the old man means yes?"

"Well, that's exactly what the old man meant. Now although the chief official of the Ministry of Officials is Lord Shangshu Wang, but Lord Wang is old and sick, and has the intention of returning to his hometown, and now Huang Shilang is quite valued by the emperor, and the daily affairs of the Ministry are mostly this person, and the marriage with his Huang family is also a beautiful thing. ”

"Yes. Yin's mother thought about it for a while, and said: "Our family is now eighteen years old, and it's time to find a family business, but ah, although Jiao'er has a soft and lovely temperament, she is actually strong in her heart, but she is a soft on the outside and a strong temperament on the inside." In my opinion, it's better to call Jiao'er and talk to her. ”

"Hehe, knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, it's okay, just talk to Jiao'er face to face, so that she can be prepared. Qiuyue, quickly go and call your young lady over. Father Yin commanded.

"Yes, sir, ma'am. Qiu Yue agreed, and went to call Miss Yin excitedly.

Soon came to Miss Yin's boudoir, Qiu Yue entered the door and shouted: "Miss, the lord and the lady call the young lady to talk in front of the hall." ”

Miss Wen Jiao smiled and said, "Qiuyue, what is the matter with my father and mother calling me at this time?"

Qiu Yue replied with a smile: "It's a happy event." ”

"What kind of happy event?" Yin Wenjiao asked puzzled.

"It's Miss, your happy event, the lord said, the second son of Lord Huang, the servant of the ministry, admires Miss very much, and his Huang family wants to marry my Yin family for this family matter. ”

"Ah?......" Yin Wenjiao was startled when she heard this, and suddenly felt a layer of fine beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, forced herself to calm down, thought about it, and said, "Qiuyue, let's go to the front of the hall, so as not to wait for a long time." ”

Walking on the road, Miss Yin was so thoughtful that she just kept her head down.

After a while, Yin Wenjiao stood in front of her parents and bowed: "Father, mother." ”

Yin Kaishan picked up the teacup in front of him, blew the tea foam, took a sip, and then said, "Jiao'er, you are eighteen this year, and it is time to find a mother-in-law." Today, Lord Huang, the servant of the court, wants to marry my Yin family, and the second son of Huang in his house is twenty years old and suave, and this Huang Gongzi is said to be very interested in you. ”

Miss Yin looked at her parents while thinking about how to reply, seeing that her parents were smiling happily, Wen Jiao felt a little strange in her heart, and she didn't know how to reply for a while, so she was silent.

Yin's father and Yin's mother saw that their daughter didn't say a word, and they all thought that their daughter's family was reserved, so Yin's mother stepped forward and took her daughter's hand and said, "Jiao'er, your father and I are just a daughter like you, and we are looking forward to you finding a good mother-in-law, husbands and children in the future, and living a good life." Your father said so much just now, what do you think?"

Yin Wenjiao stretched out her hand and shook her mother's arms, and said in a coquettish voice: "Mother, my daughter has worried about my father and mother, but my daughter is still young, and she hasn't been able to serve her parents sooner or later, and she doesn't want to leave her father and mother now." ”

Father Yin's face sank and said: "Where is this? It is natural for parents to handle the marriage of their children! Besides, it is a true principle for men to marry and women to marry, so could it be that they have become serving their parents, and their daughter's family will not marry for life? How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable?" Yin's father was so angry that he flicked his sleeves.

Yin's mother glanced at Yin's father, who was gloomy, and began to comfort her daughter: "Jiao'er, now you are eighteen, you are an adult, it is the age to be married, your father is also for your good, I want to find a good in-law for you, and I will have a person to rely on in the future?。。 ”

Yin's mother said bitterly for a long time, but Yin Wenjiao kept stirring Luo Pa with her hands, and never said a word.

At the end, Miss Wen Jiao finally opened her mouth slightly, and said softly: "Father, mother, my daughter is very messed up now, I don't know what to do, let my daughter think about it again, okay?"

Yin's father wanted to speak, but Yin's mother pulled him and said to Wen Jiao: "It's okay, Jiao'er, go back to the room first, think carefully about what your father and mother said is not." ”

Wen Jiao was relieved when she heard this, and after bowing to her parents, she turned around and walked to the boudoir in the backyard.

Entering the boudoir, Yin Wen Jiaoyu held her cheeks in her hands, depressed, and thought about her thoughts there.

At this time, the maid Chunhua hummed a little song, jumped into the room, saw her young lady's brows tightened, her face was discolored, and she stepped forward and asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Miss Yin looked up listlessly: "Oh, Chunhua, when did you come back?" Chunhua picked up the teapot from the table and poured herself a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and patted her chest a few times: "Ahem, I just came back from buying some things outside, it's really hot outside today, I'm dying of thirst." ”

Seeing that Miss Yin was depressed and silent, she stepped forward to carefully examine Miss Yin's expression, and also put her hand on her cheek, looked at Yin Wenjiao, and said with a smile: "Miss can't be worried about that Chen Gongzi, right?"

Yin Wenjiao was shocked: "You dead girl, what nonsense?!"

Chunhua raised her little face, and her face was colorful: "Hmph, Miss, as the saying goes: If you want people to know, you can't do it unless you do." I've met a few times in Renzu Temple and South Street, and I've seen it, so Chen Gongzi is a little interesting to Miss, and Miss ......"

"Nonsense, what's interesting, what's not interesting, what's wrong with me?" Miss Yin is still reserved.

Chunhua covered her small mouth and couldn't stop sneering: "Miss, I also deliberately ------- to Chen Gongzi" Chunhua deliberately dragged out the tone of the word intentional for a long time.

Miss Yin's face blushed, and she raised her hand to beat Chunhua: "You long-tongued woman who chews the root of your tongue, see that I don't tear your mouth." ”

Chunhua dodged while hip-hopping, but she didn't let go: "Miss, you dare to swear that you don't have it? If Miss swears that there is no such thing, then how about Chunhua is a hundred in her own hands?"

When Miss Yin heard this, she stopped chasing and snorted, "You little ghost and big elf ghost, ignore you." He sat down angrily.
