The fourth girl made the whole family cry again
Chapter 112 The contested marriage
Murong Bo turned sideways and put his hands behind his head, looking calm.
Under the moonlight, Zhou Xixi really wanted to curse her mother.
【Damn it! Who is this person! Do you have to look so attractive? 】
Murong Bo was stunned for a moment, then laughed softly.
This sound was like an itch scratching at Zhou Xixi's heart.
Zhou Xixi suddenly remembered the half-cooked watermelon rind at dinner, and wished she could slap it on his face.
When the hooker was addicted, Murong Bo spoke.
“I used to have a lot of money in my heart, pretending to be my father, mother, and two younger brothers, but then I entered the Criminal Department, and I had a lot of space in my heart, pretending to be a case.
Nan'an Dynasty often sent letters telling me about things about the Murong royal family, so I squeezed out some trivial matters there.
Originally, this place was so full that there were no gaps. "
Murong Bo's peach blossom eyes were infinitely elongated under the moonlight, and the ends of his eyes seemed to be filled with amorous feelings.
He put the index and middle fingers of one hand together and tapped toward his heart.
“Not long ago, starting around March, vacancies began to appear here one after another, and the gaps were getting bigger and bigger day by day. I had a person who had trouble sleeping and eating, and was disturbed when walking, and this person lived here!
She is quite beautiful, especially her eyes, and she is indescribably smart and eccentric. She has a low status but never feels inferior because of her status. She has all kinds of interesting ideas in her mind. She has the courage to fear nothing."
Zhou Xixi heard a piece of light music playing in a certain system, which set off the atmosphere just right.
Paired with that low-stringed voice, it's simply beautiful.
Zhou Xixi's feet softened and she sat on the bench in the corridor uncontrollably.
【Host! So touching! Agree to marry him! Isn't a son who can talk about love like this more sincere than saying that he will love you to the end of the world? 】
Tong Bao's words made sense, but Zhou Xixi thought they were too noisy.
"Why, you're tired. I'll take you back to the courtyard."
Murong Bo looked down at Zhou Xixi and felt that her slightly frightened expression was also so vivid.
Zhou Xixi came to her senses, stood up, said, "No, I know the way." Then she ran away as if she had stepped on a hot wheel.
The next day, at dawn, Zhou Xixi returned to the General's Mansion without even having breakfast.
The old lady claimed to be ill and no one saw her.
The eldest lady and eldest girl were banned from the courtyard and did not come out to hang out.
On the other hand, the eldest mistress, Fang, was walking in the small garden.
Seeing Zhou Xixi coming back, Fang came over with a smile.
"Was the fourth sister at the eldest princess's residence yesterday? I really envy my sister for being loved by the eldest princess.
My sister will take her sister-in-law to take a look around some time. I heard that the garden behind the eldest princess’s residence is a sea of flowers, but my sister-in-law has never seen it before! "
The Fang family has been in the north all year round. The place is no different from the desolate and inhabited place, and the crops and flowers are also very limited.
So when she came to the General's Mansion, Fang's favorite thing was the garden between the east and west courtyards of the General's Mansion.
Although many flowers have been harvested by the eldest lady, the flower trees are still very interesting.
Zhou Xixi nodded.
"When my sister-in-law's fetus is stable, my sister will take you there!"
Mrs. Fang fainted in the corridor a few days ago. The doctor said she had fetal gas, so she asked Xin Xi to nurse her.
A smile immediately broke out on Fang's face.
"Then sister must keep her word!"
After Mrs. Fang finished speaking, she looked at the two maids behind her.
"Go to my room and bring me the pink brocade with plum blossoms, and the light blue brocade with bamboo leaves."
The two maids responded and went to the east courtyard.
Zhou Xixi knew that Fang had something to say to her, so they went to the pavilion and sat down together.
"Sister-in-law, feel free to tell me if you have anything to say. My sister will never hesitate to help if she can."
Zhou Xixi's impression of Dafang was just like that. It was more about family affection than watching the excitement.
Mrs. Fang stood up and bowed to Zhou Xixi, who quickly went to help her.
"Sister-in-law, what's going on? Don't scare me. My sister-in-law knows that I'm the least polite person in this family. Besides, my elder sister-in-law is like my mother, so there's no way for my sister-in-law to salute her sister-in-law!"
The two of them sat down again while chatting.
Fang held the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.
"Sister-in-law is here to accompany you on behalf of your mother-in-law.
Before coming from the north, your eldest brother told me that my mother-in-law has a bad temper and sometimes does things too extreme. He was afraid that I would be wronged here.
However, there is no reason why a bride should not serve her parents-in-law.
Although your eldest brother does not want me to come back in every possible way, I still want to return to the General's Mansion to fulfill my filial piety.
During this period, there were a lot of conflicts in the east courtyard, and the fourth sister must have heard about them.
My sister-in-law has no friends here. Apart from a few coins in her hand, she has nothing to take out.
But...hey! Some things need to be reconciled before they really come together.
I will also try my best to do well. "
Zhou Xixi understands Fang's dilemma. Is the eldest lady the kind of master who will take good care of her if you treat her well?
"My sister also understands my sister-in-law's difficulties, but there is nothing she can do about it. After all, my aunt is not a mother, and it is not easy for us to persuade her.
My sister-in-law, who has stayed here for a year, can also go to my eldest brother, or open a hospital to live in another place. The General's Mansion does not have the principle of sleeping every morning and evening, and my sister-in-law can also take care of this without being restricted by my eldest aunt. "
When Fang heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"Either way, it's the fourth sister who is the toughest in trouble!"
Teach her how to deal with her mother-in-law.
The old lady doesn’t ask her daughter-in-law to take a rest in the morning and dusk every day, so naturally the eldest lady can’t go beyond her to show off!
Zhou Xixi: "What I'm telling you is the truth. Sister-in-law, don't be weak. My eldest aunt is the one who is tough and not soft. The tougher you are, the more restrained she will be."
Mrs. Fang naturally knew this. When she first came to the General's Mansion, she also figured out the details inside and worked hard with the eldest lady. As a result, she had a good life.
It was just a while ago that someone came up with the idea and asked her to learn the rules on the porch, and she almost had an accident.
Mrs. Fang calmed down her expression, guessing that the two maids were going to come back, so she mentioned the purpose of stopping the fourth girl today.
"Fourth sister, this marriage in the eldest princess's house is really good. If I can fight for it, I must win over you. Our girl's family is marrying into a good family. The most important thing is to seek harmony and good health!"
Fang glanced around and lowered his voice.
"The old lady wants the eldest princess to marry her eldest daughter in order to find a way out. The second girl's marriage has been decided, and only the eldest girl is left.
The old lady has not seen her family for the past two days, just because she wants the eldest princess to agree to marry the eldest daughter when she comes to propose marriage again. "
This was said by Mr. Fang when he couldn't sleep and went out for a walk at night, and heard the old lady and Aunt Zheng whispering.
"The eldest lady's reputation has been ruined. Only a marriage with the eldest princess's house can save her. I don't know what the old lady has in mind. Are you sure that the eldest princess's house will come to propose marriage again?"
Zhou Xixi was also puzzled, but she wasn't worried.
Does Murong Bo have a temper that can be manipulated by others?
Thinking of this person, Zhou Xixi's face turned red. At this time, two maids came over holding a piece of brocade.
"The eldest mistress is so generous. This brocade is worth ten gold pieces. She didn't even touch the eldest and third girls, so she gave it to the second bedroom!"
One of the maids was called by the eldest lady to serve her, so she naturally faced the eldest lady.
The other maid was brought by Fang. She rolled her eyes at this one who had never seen the world.
"The eldest mistress doesn't have anything good, just two brocades. When she first came to the house, she gave the eldest and the three girls two sets of hair and masks. They were priceless treasures. The eldest lady took them away without even letting the two girls see them. .
The eldest mistress left a mischievous impression on the two girls.
The second lady is reasonable. Even though it was just a few pieces of satin, every time the eldest mistress gave it away, the second lady asked the embroiderer to rush to make clothes for the two girls. When anyone saw them wearing them, she would say it was from the eldest mistress. .
Both parties have things to do to save face. The first bedroom can’t do it, but the second bedroom can do it to make people feel comfortable! "
The maid who spoke earlier did not mean to favor the eldest lady. When she heard that it was such a courtesy, she felt a little embarrassed.
The eldest mistress is good to these maids, and her heart is also towards the eldest mistress.
"What you said makes sense. Madam is still a bit..."
The two of them quickly stopped talking. There were rules in the house and they were not allowed to talk about the masters' affairs in private.
Zhou Xixi took the brocade handed over by the two maids, touched it, and smiled until her eyes curled up.
"I was saying that the colors of autumn clothing materials are not good-looking, but now it's better!"
Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "Give this light blue horse to my second sister. You can keep the pink one, and don't keep it all to yourself!"
The aunt and sister-in-law joked a few more words, and Zhou Xixi returned to Zhulan Garden.
As soon as she returned, she was blocked again.
Zhou Shuisui flipped through the newly released story book and laughed while reading.
"This is interesting. The big fat man counterattacked and became a first-class prince. A woman can also fight with a gun. It will definitely be a hit!"
Zhou Xixi looked at the half-eaten plate of melon seeds, put the piece of light blue brocade in the hands of the second girl, and explained the source.
"Oh! It's so beautiful. I have to hurry up and ask the embroiderer to make it. Brother Ping is going to invite me to go swimming in the lake in a few days. I'm worried about what to wear!"
The marriage the second girl was talking about had a family name of Feng, and the man there was 18 years old and his name was Feng Pingyu.
This sentence by Brother Ping made Zhou Xixi's teeth sore.
"Oh! This title is so ambiguous! I don't know who was crying in my room and saying that I didn't want to marry anyone!"
Zhou Xixi joked, and Zhou Suisui pulled her over and pressed her down.
"Okay! If you dare to flirt with your sister and me, let's see if I don't tickle you!"
The two laughed and joked for a while, then asked the maid to send the materials to the embroidery room.
Seeing no one around, he started talking about the proposal of marriage in the eldest princess's mansion.
"Why is the eldest aunt so shameless? She grabs everything, even the good ones and the bad ones! My eldest sister's marriage is broken, so who can be blamed?
Fourth sister, tell the truth to your elder sister. Does the eldest princess like you as a person or the reputation of our general's mansion? "
The two are naturally different.
If it's the former, Zhou Xixi can't marry into the eldest princess's mansion, and neither can the girl in her eldest daughter's house.
However, if it is the latter, the variability in the Princess's Mansion will be greater.
At the same time, Aunt Lin was in the courtyard of the big house.
The third girl has been crying on and off for several days.
Aunt Lin took out the eight generations of the eldest lady's ancestors and cursed them once. She put them in the coffin and she still felt it was not enough, so she took them out again and cursed them a hundred and eighty times!
"Auntie! Do you really have no say in daddy's side? The eldest sister's reputation is bad, and the two girls in the second room are not affected at all, but what should I do?
Some time ago, there were some well-off people who wanted to marry me, but now there is no one!
I heard that a few days ago, a squire from out of town wanted to take a concubine in his 18th room, and he even asked dad about it!
Ugh... I am the third daughter of the general's palace after all, no worse than the legitimate daughters of ordinary families. Even if I cannot marry a powerful person, I would still be better off marrying a student!
If the father promised his daughter to be a concubine for that bad old man, the daughter would crash to death at the gate of the General's Mansion, letting the whole capital know how much this mansion favored its eldest daughter! "
"Ouch! My ancestor!"
Aunt Lin was about to cover the third girl's mouth.
"Let's just say these angry words in our hearts. If we shout out loud and are heard by the main house, we and I will not have a good life in the future!"
In the past few days, not only did the eldest young lady suffer, but Aunt Lin was also manipulated.
The daughter of the old Xingtou family has just been brought in, but the uncle is as tired of her as sticky candy every day. The eldest wife is afraid of the uncle and does not dare to offend Aunt Xing.
But since Aunt Lin gave birth to the third girl, she has rarely even seen the uncle, so how can she dare to have a say?
Aunt Lin was distressed when she suddenly remembered something.
"Third Miss, will the marriage in the eldest princess' mansion fall on us?"
Aunt Lin's long eyes were wide and wide.
Zhou Chaochao was startled by Aunt Lin's tone.
"Auntie! You are crazy! How can the eldest princess's palace take a fancy to a concubine like me!"
Although he said this, Zhou Chaochao's mind began to come alive.
"Then Zhou Xixi is not a concubine? Her status is worse than yours, a girl from a merchant girl!"
Although Aunt Lin was so poor that she was almost a pantyhose, she still looked down on Aunt Liu who was a merchant.
"Third girl, don't cry. Look at those eyes, which are like walnuts. I'd scare you away if I had the chance. You've dressed me up beautifully these days!
Maybe the big house and the second house are competing for each other, and the opportunity will fall to us!
Besides, although Uncle Murong grew up in the eldest princess's house, the son he had given birth to before the eldest princess was so favored that he might not even be as good as a bastard!
Otherwise, why would he ask to marry the fourth girl in the first place? "
The eldest princess did not expect that her proposal of marriage would arouse a secret rivalry between several girls in the general's mansion.
The old lady has even skipped the fifteenth gift these days, claiming that she feels unwell, but does not allow her son and wife to ask her for help.
There was no news from the eldest princess's mansion either.
The old lady was leaning on the pillow, counting the days.
"It's been more than half a month, why is there no movement over there?"
The old lady frowned, as if talking to herself.
Aunt Zheng is taking good care of her these days.
"Maybe I don't plan to get married anymore!"
She came to propose marriage, but the elder brother came to grab her openly, which was unprecedented!
Grandma Zheng didn’t dare to say that she was scared.
The old lady glanced sideways at Nanny Zheng.
"I haven't heard of you going to someone else's house to propose marriage there! It's impossible for someone to not get married when they are old enough!"
Aunt Zheng rolled her eyes, walked closer and handed the old lady a bowl of ginseng soup.
"From my perspective, I think it's a pity that the fourth girl refused this marriage because of the eldest girl! Our fourth girl is also a very clever and beautiful girl."
"What do you know!" the old lady said coldly.
