"The Ban family has always been fond of petite girls, and you have heard of it." Mrs. Zhou avoided Yan Zhen's burning eyes, "The Ban family didn't mean to reject it explicitly, just to see what the two juniors mean."
On the surface, it means two juniors, but Yan Zhen wants to marry Ban Hua, so the meaning of this is to see if Ban Huayuan is willing to agree. Mrs. Zhou intends to save face for the Yan family, so she didn't say anything too thoroughly. Fortunately, everyone is smart, and they can't understand. Hearing that the Ban family doesn't have much intention of marrying the Yan family, Mrs. Yan is very heartbroken. Contradictory, not only is he happy that his son does not have to marry such a woman, but also thinks that the Ban family is really hateful. How many people in the whole capital want to get in the way of their Yan family, and even those royal family members have to be a little polite to her. Too rude.
"Mrs. Zhou," Yan Zhen looked at Mrs. Zhou, "do you mean that as long as the Princess Fule is willing to marry me, Master Hou and Madam Hou will agree to this marriage?"
Mrs. Zhou smiled: "Young Master Yan, you are concentrating on studying most of the time, and you don't know how much the Ban family values your daughter. For most parents, the lifelong happiness of their children is a major event. If you can win the favor of the county master, why not? Worry about not being able to marry a beautiful woman?"
"That said, but according to the rules of the ancestors, it should be the word of the matchmaker ordered by the parents," Mrs. Yan frowned, feeling that the family's tutoring was too casual, "No matter how much you spoil your daughter, you must have one. Bylaws."
Mrs. Zhou smiled without saying a word, but she thought in her heart, since you pay attention to the words of your parents' life matchmaker, then your family should stop thinking about it now, and look for other women for your son. It is your family who wants to beg someone to marry, not someone who is begging to marry into your family.
If it weren't for the fact that her master and Yan Zuoxiang had been friends for many years, Mrs. Zhou would really be reluctant to make this trip. The friendship between her and Mrs. Yan is not very good. Mrs. Yan's favorite thing is dogma. She is not only strict with her servants, but also with her own family. She is so strict that she loses her vitality.
"Two days later, the Shi family will hold a banquet in Bie Zhuang. It is said that the Fule County Master will also be there," Mrs. Zhou stood up.
Mrs. Yan kept her for food again and again, but Mrs. Zhou refused to accept it, and insisted on leaving. After leaving the gate of Yan's house, Mrs. Zhou shook her head. With such a mother, the Yan family's little Langjun was afraid that his wish would not come true.
Sitting in the carriage, the more Madam Zhou thought about it, the more difficult it became, she sighed and shook her head.
She opened the curtain and saw a man and woman riding a horse in front of her, walking in tandem. There was a distance between the two, and there were guards following them. Slightly more intimate than normal men and women. Or maybe it was the gentle smile on this Lang Jun's face that gave her this illusion.
Are Cheng Amber and Fule County Master actually acquainted
Mrs. Zhou hadn't heard of this, and after thinking for a while, she said to the servant outside the carriage, "Change the way."
"No, why doesn't that old lady like her daughter-in-law," Ban Hua asked Rong Xia's story in a puzzled way, "Isn't the daughter-in-law their family wanted to marry?"
"Perhaps in her heart, the daughter-in-law is the culprit who took away her son," Rong Xia thought for a while, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I can't answer your question."
Ban Hua thought that he was the only one left in Rong Xia's family, and felt that her problem was indeed a bit difficult. "That's right, you have never been a mother-in-law." Her grandmother had a good relationship with her mother, and even many times her father often Complaining that the grandmother and mother are the mother and daughter, and he was recruited from the family.
She seldom thinks about how to get along with his mother after marrying a strange man. She can't live the life of being a small grievance and forbearance.
"It is said that Yan Zuoxiang's wife comes from a famous family, and her father is a famous scholar," Rong Xia smiled, "I think she is a very elegant and easy-going elder."
Hearing the word "great Confucianism", Ban Hua thought of those who are full of mouths, etiquette and rules, how women should behave, they are old-fashioned and dogmatic, and they are extremely strict with women in the family, and even think that women should not go out, they Every inch of your body belongs to your parents before you get married, and belongs to your future husband after you get married. If anyone dares to show his face, it will be shameful and shameful.
The wind on this side of the capital is not bad. Ban Hua has heard people say that some scholars in the south even take women as their husbands to be buried and widowed for their deceased husbands. If any woman dares to remarry, she will be abused and humiliated by scholars.
What's even more ridiculous is that these readers keep saying that women are like this, but in the words they wrote, those fox fairies and young ladies are always glamorous and rich, and they voluntarily devote themselves to poor scholars, and would rather be a maid or a concubine to follow them. .
All the good things have been taken up by them, so shameless, so imaginative, and what kind of imperial examinations are needed, it is enough to lie in their shabby hut and daydream all day.
Affected by these things, now I heard Rong Xia say that Mrs. Yan was actually the daughter of a great scholar, and Ban Hua had lost interest in their family before she met the son of the Yan family. She is a dignified princess, with countless gold and silver jewels, why did she have to go to those days when she couldn't even lift her head, and she didn't suffer from brain disease.
While chatting and laughing, the two had already arrived at the gate of Jingting Hou's mansion. Rong Xia looked at the plaque on the gate of Hou's mansion, and bowed to Ban Hua, "Your Highness, I will take your leave."
"Wait a minute," Ban Hua called to stop Rong Xia, "After the daughter-in-law committed suicide, did that mother-in-law get retribution?"
Rong Xia glanced at Jin Buyao between Ban Huan's temples, shook his head and sighed: "The scholar lived a long life, and later married the daughter of a high-ranking official. His mother also sealed his life because of this, so he can take care of the old age."
Ban Hua pouted: "This story is not fun, it's the last story that is interesting."
"Since the county owner doesn't like it, I'll go and ask about some stories you're interested in," Rong Xia said, "I also think the ending of this story is not good enough."
Seeing that Rongxia had the same opinion as herself, Ban Hua was in a much better mood, but she was even more repulsive to the Yan family in her heart.
"Uncle," Du Jiu whispered after leaving the gate of Ban's house, "You remember wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"That old woman was not ordered to be ordered. She was sentenced to prison for persecuting her daughter-in-law to the point of death. Her son's career was not going well because of this. I think the Lord of Fowler may prefer the original ending of this story."
"Really?" Rong Xia patted Ma'er's head with a half-smiling smile, very gentle, "I think this is good."
Three days later, Ban Hua was sitting in front of the mirror and dressed up, while Ban Heng was sitting at the table behind her, playing with a box of pearls, "Sister, aren't you going to reject that Yan Zhen today, why don't you make yourself a bit sloppy? , he can also give up on you faster."
"It's my business to reject him, it's his business to die or not. How can I eclipse myself because of an unimportant man?" Ban Hua carefully used her fingertips to put the lip grease on her lips After making her lips rosy and gorgeous, she wiped her fingers with a handkerchief. "A woman's beautiful time is more precious than gold. A man who doesn't even impress me is not worth wasting so much gold."
"I'm afraid that Yan Zhen will hate you because of love." Ban Heng couldn't stand his sister's habit of loving beauty. No one in the world knew about it except their family. Soft patterns, euphemistically called such pajamas can make her dream.
What's the use of being as beautiful as a fairy when you sleep? Who can see the beauty? Beauty for whom? !
"Hey," Ban Hua stood up from the mirror, her complex and luxurious dress was like a bright moon in the night, so beautiful that people couldn't look away, "There are many men and women who hate me in the whole capital, if he wants to hate me, Just go to the back and line up slowly."
Anyway, in five years, she might not even be able to save her life. She would care what these people think
ridiculous!
Ban Heng looked at his sister in a trance, and was used to her beauty. What would he do if he married a daughter-in-law in the future
"What are you in a daze?" Ban Hua adjusted his wide sleeve robe, "Let's go."
"No, sister, don't you want to play polo, how do you play in this suit?" Ban Heng bent down and carefully raised the hem of Ban Hua's skirt, and followed Ban Hua step by step.
"My silly brother," Ban Hua reached out and gently tapped Ban Heng's forehead, "I have always had a cold relationship with Shi Feixian. Even if I wanted to play polo, I wouldn't play with them."
"Then what do you mean, don't play today?" Ban Heng shook his head, "But the few daughters who are friends with the Shi family do look pretty, and I'm afraid you'll give them away by playing football with them. crying."
"It's interesting to be like-minded in everything you do." Most of the daughters who are friends with Ban Hua are the daughters of the general's family, but it's a pity that the few who have the best relationship with her have gone to work abroad with their families, and some have already married women. , She lacks interest in playing on weekdays.
As the county lord, Ban Hua has his own regulated carriage, and the servant horses are all provided by the Dianzhong Province. Even if they are the same county masters, the favored and unfavored ones are very different in the details of the carriages they ride, and nobles who are used to living a luxurious life can tell at a glance.
For example, the carriage that Ban Hua rides is drawn by six steed horses, each of which is majestic and strong, so it can be seen that it was carefully selected by the Dianzhong Province. The carriage was beautifully made, and although the color did not exceed the county lord's regulations, the materials and finesse were almost on par with the eight horses and fragrant treasure carriage that the princess rode in.
But even at this level, the Dianzhong Province was still worried that Ban Hua would be dissatisfied, and even deliberately inlaid some gorgeous gems on the inner wall of the car and laid the softest cushion, just to get a word of appreciation from Ban Hua.
Both the county lords, Kang Ning rides the same carriage as Ban Nang, but when the carriages on both sides appear at the gate of Shijia Biezhuang at the same time, which of the two county lords is more distinguished will be revealed.
Even the servants of the Shi family seemed more respectful and fearful in front of Ban Hua.
Everyone knows that this is a county master who whipped Tanhua Lang in the street, and finally Tanhua Lang was demoted, but she was promoted to a title because of this. How dare they offend such a tough guy
