【252】What a miserable one
"Thank you so much, Miss Four."
Xiaocao nodded slightly, "Madam, you don't need to be too anxious now, the child is doing pretty well now."
After hearing this, the woman suppressed her anxiety and expressed her gratitude to Xiaocao again.
It sounds unbelievable that this person, who is not sick and has no disaster, has abdominal pain because of fear or something. Therefore, some people always have doubts. However, Xiaocao doesn't care whether others believe it or not. Her starting point is for the child. If even his family members
She didn't pay attention to it, so that the child's condition became more serious, or even really disabled, but she had a clear conscience.
There isn’t much to do later. After the luncheon, we can almost prepare for the wedding ceremony.
Xiaocao did not retreat directly to his yard and continued to stack books. He was in a rare mood to sit down and listen to gossip. Then he unexpectedly heard about Li Ruoshui and Hua Baichen. There was a feeling in his heart that he didn't know how to describe.
One thing is certain, a man like Hua Baichen should be kicked out early. If he is left until the Chinese New Year, the loss will be too great.
Now I know the reason why Mrs. Pingjin Hou was so angry. It would be strange not to be angry after raising such a terrible son.
The Li family and the Pingjin Marquis Mansion have been arguing over the past few days. Of course, there is nothing to say about the marriage itself. However, the Pingyang Marquis Mansion does not want to let Li Ruoshui marry into the house so cheaply, so they took this opportunity to blatantly ask for it.
The benefits, so what if her son was essentially taking advantage, they were brought to the door by the Li family themselves. So what if she just took the opportunity to get the benefits? If she doesn't like it, just don't marry in. It won't affect her son anyway.
Of course, this benefit would not be gold, silver and jewelry, so it was Prince Hua who came forward to negotiate. However, when facing the Li family, his attitude was correct and full of gentlemanly demeanor. He said that he was just a messenger, so he went with
It was useless for him to negotiate terms, as his mother refused to give in, and he, as a son, could not disobey her.
The one who came forward from the Li family was the deputy capital envoy, Li Ruoshui's father. This man was a very upright person. Of course, he was also a very reasonable person. Even so, when facing the "child" like Prince Hua,
I still couldn't help but get angry.
He was naturally happy to have an outstanding daughter at home, but in comparison, he did not agree very much with the fact that this woman was so public in public and so popular. Therefore, to a certain extent, he felt sorry for Li Ruoshui.
He must be quite strict, and he loves and cares, but in the end, he still doesn't care as much as he values his son.
But he is just a concubine, a stupid one by nature, far inferior to his daughter, which makes him very angry, so when he treats his son, because he hates iron, he often scolds him in various ways, and he is far inferior to his sister.
What.
So much so that the relationship between father and son is terrible, and the relationship between brother and sister is terrible.
Deputy Imperial Ambassador Li is also a very decent person. This incident can be said to be extremely embarrassing for him. However, even so, he did not specifically ask about the whole matter, which makes people feel that he is drunk.
of.
When it comes to Mrs. Pingjin Hou's bold talk, she has negotiated with her eldest son many times. Of course, she is still hovering on the bottom line of the Li family. After all, it is not for the sake of enmity. It will cause the Li family extra pain, and at the same time, she will basically not refuse to agree.
.
Needless to say, the final result was a complete victory for the Pingjin Marquis Mansion. Outsiders may not know the specific details, but looking at the situation of the two families, you will know who has the upper hand. The Pingjin Marquis Mansion really took advantage. It was in vain.
The daughter-in-law they couldn't get, and the rich "dowry", the fact that the Li family sent it to her was even more interesting. How many people were stamping their feet and beating their chests, why weren't they so lucky?
Xiaocao listened to these people vividly talking about the gossip content as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes, and she was just listening for amusement. It seemed that the two families were already officially discussing the marriage. If nothing unexpected happened, it would probably happen next month.
They will get married. After all, this is a special situation and it is impossible to wait until next year or something.
The time passed quite quickly. The Zhang family came to welcome the bride.
Zhang Junliang's nose is neither a nose nor an eye, and he has a long face. He doesn't think he is here to welcome his bride, but he seems to be here to collect debts. He looks like he owes him a lot, but he doesn't care about the situation.
Quite unexpected.
Not to mention that he originally liked Wen Renxiang a little bit, but he still had a playful mentality, but ended up losing his fiancée who came from a high family, and was forced to find a so-called "savior". During this period, he
But he was laughed at and ridiculed frequently, so it's strange that he didn't feel angry. If he hadn't been forced to come by his family, he would rather drink flower wine.
Seriously speaking, Wenren's family was actually kind to Wenrenxiang. Wenren's family did not lack any dowry that matched her status. In addition, she also gave everything she could take away from the Zhang family's employees.
She took it back, but the Zhang family was not happy. The betrothal gift must not have been much more generous. The certificate of award sent to the Zhang family yesterday was probably one of the reasons for Zhang Junliang's dark face.
It was inevitable that Zhang Junliang's "ruining the scene" was not good-looking, or maybe it was because Wen Renxiang didn't pay enough attention to Wen Renxiang, and no one stopped the door. Originally, he wanted to see Wen Renxiang making things difficult for him - you know Wen Renxiang
When the three girls in front of me got married, they were very upset by Wen Ren, especially the eldest brother-in-law Lu Deyuan.
Not being able to get in, delaying the auspicious time, it is estimated that Lu Deyuan really couldn't welcome the bride - but unfortunately Wen Renyang didn't show up at all, which is really a pity.
Some people unconsciously glanced at Xiaocao. According to the order, Wen Renxiang had to move two places back when he got married. However, these four girls returned home halfway. Even if the engagement partner was good, they would not get married.
It will be so soon, not to mention the situation. The wedding date has not been set at all, and it is still unknown whether she will marry into the Marquis of Pingyang one day.
Because of the "tacit understanding" between the two families, Zhang Junliang's wedding ceremony at Wenrenxiang's family was very smooth. Even when he was greeting Wenrenxiang's father and aunt, Zhan Junliang seemed very perfunctory, and no one took him seriously. Wenrenxiang gave
When they kowtowed, it was neither salty nor bland.
Of course, it should still be lively, but the excitement does not belong to the newcomers.
The eldest male and female of the third house are all direct descendants, so the third house can handle the wedding itself.
The newlyweds were sent out. Although there was a dinner party at Wen Renxiang's house, it actually didn't matter. It was almost like an ordinary banquet. Xiaocao went back to pile books, and Wen Renxiang married into the Zhang family.
What will happen next, good or bad, naturally has nothing to do with her, she is very busy.
Two days later, Wen Renxiang returned home. As expected, she was alone. She arrived almost at noon. She was dressed quite well. After all, she was now a member of the Zhang family. She was going out.
Outside the home, Mr. Zhang still has a good face, but his energy and energy are not that good. He is thickly powdered and has a dull look on his face.
The previous marriages were arranged by the Han family, but this time, the Han family just left it to the third room to handle by themselves, especially since Zhang Junliang hadn't come yet, so Zhang just set up a table, let alone
No one from the other rooms, not even the girls and boys from the third room, showed up. Mrs. Zhang waved the gifts she had planned to give them to her servants and asked her servants to send them over. It was so desolate.
Wen Renxiang originally thought he wouldn't care, but at this time he couldn't help but turned around and left. After leaving the gate of Wen Renxiang's house and getting into the Zhang family's carriage, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
On the night of their wedding, Zhang Junliang didn't consummate their marriage with her at all. He slept with the maid she brought over. On the second day, he didn't even serve tea to his elders, so he asked her to become his aunt and let her drink "Mother" first.
Tea".
When it was time to serve tea, all the people who were supposed to be present were present, but all the previous events were known, and the marriage was not consummated. She was like a funny thing, being pointed out by so many people in the Zhang family.
No matter how much I told myself not to care, my whole body became even more stiff as a puppet, not to mention being beaten and set by Mrs. Zhang later.
Last night, Zhang Junliang consummated his marriage with her. Moreover, there was no tenderness or consideration at all. He went straight to the point where Wen Renxiang was in agony and did not receive any sympathy. If he resisted, he would be beaten.
It felt like I had lost half my life. I couldn't get up at all this morning, but I was still dragged up by force and went to Mrs. Zhang's place to set the rules. I didn't have to eat or drink early in the morning. It was approaching noon.
After being put back to pack up and go back home, Zhang Junliang had already gone to nowhere.
She knew that she would not have an easy time in the Zhang family, but she did not expect that she would be so miserable.
What was the purpose of her previous calculations, even if they resulted in such a result? If she had gone ahead and waited until March next year to get married, Mr. Zhang would be just a little girl now, even though his family background was not that good.
She is an official, but because of this, with Wen's family background, he will definitely treat her very well, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law will support her. She is just a little poor, and it won't be too bad. She is now dressed in beautiful clothes and jade.
Food, prosperity and wealth...
If she had still had a little hope in her heart before getting married, she might be able to capture Zhang Junliang's heart and change her situation. But now she is left with nothing but confusion and despair. She probably really has no hope at all.
Wen Renxiang's condition was not paid attention to by anyone. Xiaocao went to Pingjinhou Mansion to give Mrs. Pingjinhou a follow-up consultation. Wenrenying also went there. After the initial rage, Mrs. Pingjinhou's mood stabilized, or maybe it was
After such an experience, even if there are still some problems in the marriage, Mrs. Pingjin Hou seems very calm. She also knows her situation. Not to mention that she has not been indifferent to life and death and does not want to die. In the current situation, she cannot
After death, I made a special trip to calm my mind and cultivate my heart.
Mrs. Pingjin Hou left food as usual, and because she heard that Ying was there, Xiaocao did not refuse this time.
However, not long after the meal, a servant came to report that Mrs. Li was here to discuss the wedding date.
Mrs. Pingjin Hou's expression turned bad for a moment, but she quickly faded away. She asked her daughter-in-law to entertain the two Xiaocao sisters, saying that she would be back as soon as she went.
Xiaocai wanted to take this opportunity to say goodbye, but Mrs. Pingjin Hou said this, so it was hard for her to do so.
Mrs. Li has brought us some good days. Well, this should actually be something that the man should do. Mrs. Li took the initiative to take over it. It is July now, and there are no good days. This next time
The second day of the lunar month is okay, but the horoscope with Li Ruoshui is not the most reliable. The best day is the 16th day, and then it will be the end of September. According to Mrs. Li's wish, I chose August 16th, because the 15th day
It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it doesn't affect the wedding dress.
"On the second day of the new year." Mrs. Pingjin Hou didn't care at all about Mrs. Li's kind words, and decided on the date of the photo shoot without saying a word.
Of course Mrs. Li would not agree. Although she is a profit-oriented person, she has loved Li Ruoshui like a jewel for several years now. It is impossible to say that she has no feelings, and she does not give up just because she wants to.
There has to be a process, so I naturally do my best for my daughter's affairs and don't want my daughter to be wronged.
"If it doesn't work on the second day of the Lunar New Year, push it to September. There is no discussion on the sixteenth day."
Mrs. Li was very angry, "Why?" she asked angrily.
