Lu Yihui lowered her head slowly, not daring to look at her mother's expression at all, but she still insisted in a low voice: "Mom, the marriage is a big matter, the parents ordered the matchmaker, and the father didn't say anything, didn't he—"
"Shut up!" The always well-behaved daughter said such words, which made Mao very angry, and now she was feeling uncomfortable with her husband, the daughter's words clearly meant that she respected her father more than respected her. She couldn't help but add another layer of anger.
The more Mao thought about it, the more angry she became, and she beat her chest and stamped her feet and shouted: "I am so miserable, my husband is worthless, and my daughter is not obedient! Is there any room for me in this family! You two are the same Nostrils, you want to piss me off, don't you!"
Mao's gun and stick were more likely to be an excuse to vent, blaming her husband more than her daughter, but how could Lu Yihui hear that
Unconsciously tearful and wronged: "Mother, what are you talking about? How have I ever vented my anger with Dad? Dad has gone to the south of the Yangtze River. I haven't even seen Dad. How can I be angry with you with him!"
Mrs. Mao was struggling with the words "Going to Jiangnan", but her daughter didn't understand, and it was hard to explain this kind of words to her, so she felt even more annoyed, and said coldly, "If you don't want to piss me off, you can go back." Your dowry is embroidered in your room waiting to be married! Don’t make trouble here! Don’t go back!”
Where is Lu Yihui willing to go? Gritting her teeth, she knelt down and said with tears in her eyes, "Mother, please, I don't want to be looked down upon! Say, say that our family is rushing to curry favor, that mother, you are snobbish, and you can't wait until father comes back—"
"Who said that!" Surprised and angry, Mao exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and said sharply, "Who is it?"
In a hurry to curry favor? snobbish
These words deeply hurt Mao, although it was true, of course, she would never admit it.
Lu Yihui frightened her, she opened her mouth and said, "I—"
"Say it quickly! Which bastard is the one who said it! I won't tear his mouth off!" Mrs. Mao was really angry.
Lu Yihui's eyes dimmed, and she lowered her eyes and said softly: "There are many people who said this, mother, why do you need to ask? Now it's just a rumor in the mansion. If, if this thing is done, I'm afraid the whole capital-"
Mao's face was terribly cold, and he didn't speak.
Seeing this, Gong Nai hurriedly tried to smooth things over, and while pulling Lu Yihui up, she said, "Oh, fourth lady, you have wronged the third lady! How can the third lady not understand such a simple truth? The third lady has always loved you the most. How could you not have thoughtful plans for you? Listening to that screwdriver chewing his tongue, it is clearly jealousy! The third lady decided to settle the matter without saying anything, but the Fan Mansion sent people to come, and they must Let's see each other in the past, right? Anyway, let people know our family's attitude, so they will have a bottom line in their hearts! Third madam, don't you think so?"
The anger in Mao's heart eased a little, and he immediately went down the steps, nodded and said: "That's not the case! Then the Fan family has come, so we can't just leave him there like this? This is for marriage, not for enmity! Alright, alright, go back to your room!"
Lu Yihui hesitated to speak, she looked at Mrs. Mao timidly, but didn't dare to say anything.
Gong Nai secretly sighed in her heart, thinking that the fourth girl must be possessed by a god and Buddha just now, otherwise how dare she talk back to the third lady? The fourth girl at this time is the real fourth girl! I don't have any vision at all, isn't the third lady's words clear enough? What else is she going to do
"Fourth Miss, you are obedient, go back quickly, ah! Third Madam is your mother, can she still harm you..." Gong Nai said while pushing her out, winking secretly.
Lu Yihui had no choice but to go out.
"I'm so serious! One by one, you must piss me off!" Mao let out a long breath.
Gong Nai quickly persuaded with a smile: "The fourth girl is right! Third lady, don't worry about this matter! You have seen the posture of Fan's mansion, and Mrs. Fan must have taken a fancy to it from the bottom of her heart." Our girl, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Can the third master not come back after the Chinese New Year? Could it be that they can't afford to wait for two months? If they can't wait, then they are not sincerely proposing! As long as the wife and Zhang The matchmaker said it well, if I leave this word here, the Fan Mansion will definitely not back down, our Lu Mansion is also the residence of the Marquis, and the Fan Mansion dare not disrespect it no matter what!"
After thinking about it, Mao nodded, and said, "That's true, but I shouldn't be impatient! Hmph! If the New Year master dares not come back, I, I will ask my elder brother to send someone to Jiangnan to catch him back! It's time to have him look good!"
Mao's silver teeth were barely gritted, and he wished that it would be the Chinese New Year soon.
Seeing that she was talking too far away, Grandma Gong had no choice but to pull her back: "Over there at Jingmingtang—"
"Ouch! Look at me, I was so angry that I almost missed a big deal!" Mrs. Mao said hurriedly, then hurriedly changed her clothes, and rushed over with Madam Gong.
Matchmaker Zhang was startled when she heard that Master Lu San was away and went to Jiangnan.
What I thought was a surefire thing had an accident, and I felt lost in my heart.
"That's it..." Zhang Matchmaker smiled for a while, and the smile was very forced.
Seeing this, Mrs. Mao was a little anxious, and pretending that Zhang's matchmaker didn't believe her words, she hurriedly said: "It's true that our master is not at home. If you don't believe me, you can ask sister-in-law, I am not lying!"
Matchmaker Zhang almost couldn't laugh out loud when she heard this, she quickly nodded and said: "Look at what the third lady said, I will naturally believe it, of course I believe it!"
"That's good!" Mrs. Mao chuckled and said, "Our lord will come back this time, but he will definitely come back during the Chinese New Year! Please tell Mrs. Fan first if you trouble me. With one sound, it is said that there must be a certain letter around the year! Hehe, just reassure her!"
Matchmaker Zhang had no choice but to nod her head in agreement, "Don't worry, third lady, this is what you should do!" Then she stood up and said goodbye.
Mrs. Mao sent him off, and he had to give a few more instructions, asking her to help explain to Madam Fan, and Madam Fan, please don't mind this.
Matchmaker Zhang responded, and rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking that you can say this kind of thing, but the old man can't say it! I've never seen the woman's house rush like this! Since this is the case, it is better to simply accept it! Why bother...
Sending Zhang Matchmaker away, Mao Shi was stunned for a while, couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and said to Mu Qing: "Sister-in-law, I'm really worried! Such a good marriage, don't let our master delay it! Where can I find such a good marriage in the future! Sister-in-law, can you do me a favor, please send someone to call our master back!"
Mu Qing couldn't help being embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "Here, the third younger brother just came to Jiangnan, even if you call him, he may not be willing to come back!"
"No, no, no!" Mrs. Mao came to her senses and hurriedly said, "As long as it's the elder brother's words, he will definitely listen!"
Unable to resist Mao's entanglement again and again, Mu Qing had no choice but to agree to talk about it when Lu Wenxuan came back in the evening.
Lu Wenxuan couldn't help laughing, and spread his hands helplessly: "Madam, you are making things difficult for me! In such a big place in the south of the Yangtze River, how do I know where he is? How can I ask someone to find him? Do you think the third brother will tell me where he is going?" ?”
"It's not that I'm confused!" Mu Qing laughed herself, and said, "I'll ask someone to say that tomorrow!"
Lu Wenxuan nodded, and said: "If she's really in a hurry, just ask the housekeeper to send a few people to Jiangnan to inquire and try their luck! It won't save her from bothering you!"
He frowned again and said: "It's not that I look down on my niece, this marriage—I always feel a little strange! Later you ask someone to inquire carefully, will there be any problems! In case something happens in the future, Wouldn't it hurt Yihui for the rest of her life? Even as uncles and aunts, we don't look good!"
Mu Qing quickly agreed.
The next day, before she could send someone to find Mrs. Mao, Mrs. Mao himself came first. Hearing Mu Qing's words, the excitement suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on it, and it was not a matter of responding to sending someone to try their luck.
Mu Qing thought for a while, and decided that it would be better to discuss it with her, and then said: "Third siblings, there is something I don't know if I should say it or not! This marriage—"
"I will definitely make this marriage happen! Tell everyone to see that my fourth girl is also promising!" Mrs. Mao immediately said firmly when she heard Mu Qing mentioning this.
How could Mu Qing still speak? She sighed secretly in her heart, and had to forcefully nodded with a smile: "Mothers are not always like this, they hope for the well of their daughters! This marriage is a life-long event, so you have to be careful and think it through!"
"Sister-in-law is right!" Mao responded casually, leaving sullenly.
Seeing that she didn't listen at all, Mu Qing couldn't say anything more, so she just smiled and let her go.
On Lu Yihui's side, she finally persuaded her mother and temporarily escaped the catastrophe. Apart from nervousness and fear, she felt the excitement she had never experienced before, and she rejoiced all night.
The next day, I couldn't wait to tell Lu Xiaoshu.
Lu Xiaoshu knew that it was not easy for her to take this step, so he had to praise her a few words, and then comforted her: "I asked someone to inquire about the second young master of the Fan family! Don't worry, there will be results soon! "
Lu Yihui blushed and nodded slightly.
Lu Xiaoshu was secretly amused, suddenly he felt narrow-minded, and deliberately teased her, saying: "By the way, if the second young master of the Fan family is a good person, would you like to marry him?"
Lu Yihui's face turned even redder, she moved her lips, shook her head and said in a low voice, "Don't... I'm not afraid of Second Sister's jokes, I, I'm afraid of that Mrs. Fan, really, I'm afraid when I see her! I'm even more afraid of such a big family. I'm afraid I can't handle it by myself..."
Lu Xiaoshu said: "It's no wonder you think so, that Mrs. Fan is indeed a shrewd master! Hey, it's a pity that even you can see such a simple matter, but the third aunt is still obsessed! It's a treasure!"
Lu Yihui was silent, but she agreed with it in her heart. There is a strict mother at home, and there will be a powerful mother-in-law in the future. In this life, her life should not be too bitter...
Zhou Shizhi's work efficiency was quite high, and he soon brought news to Lu Xiaoshu. (Tomorrow three more!)
