Tie Kui Extra Story (83)
The Zeng family accepted the post from the Ning family and felt a little strange at first. Their master is a civil servant, and the Anyang uncle's mansion is a general, and the two families have nothing to do with each other.
When Chen Fu came back from the school in the evening, Mrs. Zeng told her about it: "Have you met anyone from the Ning family?"
"No." After finishing speaking, a blush flashed across Chen Fu's face: "However, the Empress Empress mentioned to me a few days ago, saying that Uncle Anyang's son is of great character."
After Madam Zeng heard this, she remembered a rumor she had heard before, that the marriage of Uncle Anyang's son was decided by the empress.
Contrasting with her daughter's words, Mrs. Zeng said: "Fu'er, it is rumored that Uncle Anyang's son is clean and self-sufficient. Mrs. Uncle Anyang is kind-hearted, and the population of Uncle Anyang's residence is simple. Such a good family is hard to find with a lantern." But Zeng Chen Fu has been very assertive since she was a child, and Mrs. Zeng would ask her for her opinion.
Zeng Chenfu nodded and said: "Mother, let's meet!" If Uncle Anyang's son is really as good as the rumors say, if you miss it, you won't be able to find such a good one again. But she had to see someone before she could rest assured. After all, most of the rumors are unreliable.
In view of her trust in Yuxi, Mrs. Zeng did not see Mrs. Xiao, but directly asked Mrs. Xiao to go to Lingshan Temple to offer incense. In the process of offering incense, let the two children meet. If they see each other right, this marriage can be settled.
After hearing that the time was about five days, Ning Hai said with some regret: "I'm going back to Tongcheng tomorrow." It's also because there have been no major wars in the past two years, otherwise he would not be able to return to Beijing to preside over Ruhui's wedding.
Xiao Shi said with a smile: "Since it is the empress's match, I can't be wrong." So this marriage, Xiao Shi thinks it is a certainty. Now, it's just a passing scene.
Ning Hai said: "I hope so!"
This time Ning Hai was in a hurry, so he couldn't send Chunni and Duan Dongzi back to Anshan.
Chun Ni smiled and said, "I have to wait until Brother Zhan is engaged before going back." She just wanted to see what the girl from the Zeng family looked like, so she could have an explanation with Tie Hu when she went back.
So on the appointed day, Chunni and Xiao went to Lingshan Temple together.
The two met at the gate of the city, but because Zeng Chenfu sat in the carriage and didn't show up, Ning Zhan didn't see anyone. As for Zeng Chenfu, she restrained her curiosity and did not lift the car window.
It was not until the foot of Lingshan Temple that the two saw each other's appearance.
Zeng Chenfu has an oval face, a pair of big eyes looking forward, and her skin is crystal clear like jade.
Seeing Ning Zhan staring at her intently,
Zeng Chenfu's face was blushing.
Seeing Ning Zhan's stupid look, Xiao smiled and took his hand and said, "You silly boy, why are you so dumb. This is Mrs. Zeng and the girl from the Zeng family. Hurry up and greet them."
Ning Zhan came back to his senses, hurriedly saluted Mrs. Xiao Zeng as a junior, and then smiled at Zeng Chenfu. But that laugh, no matter how you look at it, how silly.
Just looking at Ning Zhan's smirk, Xiao knew that he liked the girl from the Zeng family very much. Now, all he had to do was wait for the Zeng family's reply.
Chunni exclaimed: "This girl is so beautiful, just like the fairy in the painting." Fairy, that's all.
Xiao said with a smile: "If she wasn't pretty, Zhan'er wouldn't stare at other girls and be reluctant to blink."
Ning Zhan felt a little embarrassed.
After having a fast meal in the temple, Mrs. Zeng took Zeng Chenfu back. On the way, Mrs. Zeng asked: "Fu'er, how are you doing? Do you still like it?"
Zeng Chenfu said shyly: "It's up to mother to decide." Zeng Chenfu had seen Ning Hai before, and knew that he was very rough. So she was very worried that Ning Zhan also looked like a black-faced god, but the result was beyond her expectation. The son of Uncle Anyang didn't look like the son of a general at all, but rather a son of a scholarly family.
Mrs. Zeng said with a smile: "Then when the Ning family comes to ask questions, I'll reply to them." Whether it's family affairs or personal conditions, there is really nothing to choose. No wonder so many people wanted to hand over their daughter to him.
Zeng Chenfu hesitated and asked, "Should I ask my grandfather and father about this?"
Mrs. Zeng paused, and said: "It's okay. I will write to tell your grandfather and your father that the marriage is a matchmaker arranged by the Queen Mother."
The elders of the Zeng family looked down on military generals very much, and were very dissatisfied with Yunqing and Yuxi's preferential treatment of generals. When he was drunk once, he expressed his dissatisfaction, and said that if this continues, there will be trouble. As a result, this word got out somehow, and then it was exposed that the Zeng family's elder had raised a concubine. Not long after, he was impeached by the censor for being greedy for ink. Fortunately, the corruption of ink was a fiction, so he escaped. However, the matter of raising a foreign room has a great impact on his future, and he has only been at the sixth rank after so many years.
Even the founding hero Zeng of the Feng family and the Cui family couldn't get used to it. How could he be willing to marry the Anyang uncle's mansion, which has a history of treachery and indiscriminate killing of innocent people.
Zeng Chenfu nodded in silence and said, "That's fine."
Previously, the Elder of the Zeng family wanted to betroth Zeng Chenfu to his classmate's son, and that young man was outstanding in all aspects. Even Mrs. Zeng let go. As a result, after Governor Zeng found out, he scolded the couple severely. Since ancient times, it is the marriage of a high family and a low family. It would be fine if Zeng Chenfu was a girl without salt or had other deficiencies, but his granddaughter's conditions are worthy of a prince, but the husband and wife want to marry her to a son of the same fifth grade, which is simply a waste of money.
Not long after this incident, Zeng Chenfu was admitted to the Wenhua Hall, and Mrs. Zeng followed her to the capital.
The next day, Xiao Shi invited an intermediary to talk about Mrs. Zeng's tone.
Hearing that the two parents agreed to the marriage, Yuxi asked Ning Zhan and Zeng Chenfu successively to be on the safe side. Seeing that it was indeed the two children who agreed, she readily asked Yunqing to marry them.
I don't know how many young talents who admire Miss Zeng have been hurt by the imperial decree of marriage.
The youngest son of the right servant of the Ministry of Officials felt that Ning Zhan was not good enough for Zeng Chenfu, so he brought his entourage to try to put him in a sack. As a result, Ning Zhan beat her parents until they didn't know each other, and they were sent to the Yamen. This is shameful, throwing it to the whole capital.
When the Meng family was in the room with the old lady, they mentioned this as a joke.
The old lady asked Ruhui: "Is this true?"
Ru Hui said disdainfully: "My brother didn't take off his arms and legs, it's already doing Zhang family face." He dared to sneak attack on his brother, I don't know how death is written.
Mrs. Meng held a completely different attitude: "Speaking of which, the Zeng family girl is also indiscreet. If she hadn't attracted bees and butterflies, how could she have caused this disaster."
Grandma Meng wished she could gag Mrs. Meng's mouth. This can be said casually. Let the Zeng family know that the two families must become enemies.
Ruhui's face immediately sank. The two families were married by imperial decree, and Zeng Chenfu was her sure sister-in-law. When Mrs. Meng said this, she was slapping her Ning family in the face.
At that moment, Ru Huipi said with a non-smiling smile: "According to what my aunt said, the empress's girls' school shouldn't be run. Otherwise, Miss Zeng wouldn't be famous far and wide, and let those high-ranking disciples keep an eye on her." gone."
Mrs. Meng said angrily: "Don't mess around here, I didn't say that."
Ru Hui confronted her tit for tat: "But I heard what my aunt said, and that's what she meant!"
Mrs. Meng looked at the livid face of her eldest daughter-in-law, and said with a dark face: "If this word reaches the Zeng family, have you ever thought about what will happen to Guangpeng?" The old man of the Zeng family is the governor of Hunan, and Meng Guangpeng is now in Hunan serve. The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. The Zeng family can easily get Meng Guangpeng off.
Mrs. Meng broke out in sweat.
This eldest daughter-in-law is really getting better and better. It seems that the affairs of the family have to be handed over to a few granddaughters-in-law.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Meng said: "You are getting old now, so you should rest at home! Family matters, I will leave it to Guangpeng's wife and Ranxi's wife to take care of them."
Mrs. Meng's face changed drastically, she was trying to take away her housekeeping rights: "Mother, daughter-in-law..."
Mrs. Meng waved her hand and said, "For these two days, you can leave the matter to Guangpeng's daughter-in-law and the others! I'm tired and need to rest, you all go back!"
Mrs. Meng walked out unwillingly.
Ruhui looked sympathetically at Grandma Meng who was like a little daughter-in-law, and then thanked again that she didn't have a mother-in-law.
After returning to her yard and just sitting down, Maisui opened the curtain and walked in to ask Aunt Gui to see her.
Ruhui frowned and said, "Let her in!" Ever since Sanchao came back, Aunt Gui always came to look for her. Every time he was not empty-handed, he gave Meng Ranxi clothes, shoes, socks, purses and other things.
This time, Aunt Gui gave an embroidered screen.
Ruhui has never seen any good things before, so how can she look at such an embroidered screen: "Aunt Gui, just say what you need, don't send this or that. I don't lack your things here." She really is Impatient to deal with Aunt Gui.
Aunt Gui gave birth to two sons and two daughters, the eldest daughter is eighteen years old. She hasn't said anything yet, she is a little impatient. Others can't ask for it, but Ruhui is the eldest sister-in-law of the second room, so I can only place my hope on her.
After hearing what Aunt Gui said, Ru Hui said, "I will tell my grandmother about the fourth sister tomorrow." Aunt Gui's eldest daughter was the fourth in the Meng family, and the next daughter was the ninth.
Aunt Gui hoped that Ruhui would tell her daughter about her relatives. Ruhui was born in an honorable family, even if she finds a son from an honorable family for her daughter, she will be able to live comfortably in the future.
Ruhui smiled lightly and said, "Auntie was joking, I don't understand anything, how can I say goodbye to Fourth Sister."
Aunt Gui pleaded: "Third Grandma, you are also a woman, if this woman marries the wrong person, she will be ruined for life. Third Grandma, please take pity on Jiaojiao!"
Ru Hui glanced at Aunt Gui, with a sneer on her face: "You are quite right. If you marry the wrong person, not only may you not be able to keep the child in your stomach, but you will also have to lie in bed for more than ten years."
After hearing this, Aunt Gui's face turned pale.
After the people left, Ruhui said disdainfully: "I think that the sins I committed will be forgotten after more than ten years." Others may forget, but Meng Ranxi will never forget.
At night, Ruhui and Meng Ranxi talked about it.
Meng Ranxi was silent for a while and said, "You tell grandma about this, and you don't have to worry about anything else." It was already his biggest concession to retaliate against Aunt Gui's mother and child. Forget about it.
Ruhui nodded, and then said something else: "Grandmother said today, let my sister-in-law and I take care of the house together."
"If you don't want to, just tell grandma."
Ruhui sighed and said: "Since grandma has called my name, it would be bad for me to shirk. Forget it, I will take care of some lighter errands!"
ps: An old man saw me walking backwards this morning and asked, "Girl, why are you walking backwards!"
Me: "Walking backwards can relieve back pain."
The old man said: "Ah, I only heard that walking backwards can prevent Alzheimer's disease."
I:……
