Chapter 227: Perseverance
On the other side, Lin Chenyao caught two geese in the swamp in the suburbs. The feathers were white and the wings were black. The geese were called snow geese and looked like swans. He believed that Chu Xinyu must like it very much when he saw it.
When he came back, he thought Chen Guang had prepared the betrothal gift. He was about to take lunch to the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, but Chen Guang told him that the eldest princess knew about this from somewhere, so he rushed over to stop it and asked him to wait for him to come back to find her immediately.
Lin Chenyao frowned. The marriage edict was over. The marriage had become a foregone conclusion. What was my mother still competing for?
After entering the study room, he stayed in it for a while before coming out and walked towards the princess's mansion.
The princess's mansion is next to the Duke Rong's mansion. A Yuedong Gate is opened between the walls of the two mansions. When Lin Chenyao walked halfway, the maid hurriedly reported that the eldest princess was in the old lady's Songheju. He turned to Songheju again.
When he entered the house, the eldest princess was talking, "So what the emperor gave to the marriage? Our Rong Duke's Mansion is a big family. We must marry according to customs and etiquette. Three books and six rituals are naturally indispensable. Nacai, ask for names, Naji, Nazheng, and Nazheng. These six rituals must be handled step by step, and cannot be so careless. The betrothal gift is postponed for a few days, and Najib passed before the next step will be taken."
The so-called Naji means that after bringing the woman's name and the eight characters of the year Geng back to the eight characters of the Buji, the Geng letter is placed in front of the gods or in front of the ancestor's case to ask for good or bad luck, and see if the eight characters of the year Geng are in conflict and restraint.
If there is no conflict and restraint, the marriage can be carried out in the next step, which is the so-called betrothal gift.
The eldest princess felt that Chu Xinyu's birth date and horoscope was not good. Before she was born, her mother and brother disappeared. Her son wanted to go to the battlefield and could not marry a woman with bad horoscope. Of course, this is one of her selfish thoughts.
Another selfish thought that she didn't want her son to marry Mei Ruochu's daughter, but the marriage was decided by her son in public in front of the emperor and could not repent. Then, if the two people had conflicting horoscopes, they could reject the marriage.
Mrs. Lin sat on the arhat couch, pinched the Buddhist beads on her hand, and said lightly: "You don't know Xuanhui's character. When did he regret what he decided? Even if he agreed to do things according to the six rituals and wanted to write an article in Najiri, no matter what the result is, he wouldn't care. Look at him being so anxious to prepare for the betrothal gift, I'm afraid he's worried about Miss Chu Wu."
His grandson was indifferent to everything, except for important matters in the army. When did he be so active? As soon as the edict was issued, he prepared a betrothal gift on the other end and went to catch geese in person. He just wanted to instruct the people below to do such things. If he hadn't been concerned, how could he do it himself?
The eldest princess was a little unhappy. She usually respected this mother-in-law very much. She was a princess, but she never put on airs in front of her. Many times, the mother-in-law would agree to the opinions she made and stand on the same front as herself, so she got along well with her mother-in-law. But now, for the sake of the Chu family, the mother-in-law actually ignored the safety of her son. What kind of ecstasy has the Chu family given them? The grandparents and grandchildren liked her.
Thinking of this, the eldest princess's face suddenly sank and her tone became a little heavier, "Xuanhui is your grandson, don't care about his life or death? There are so many ladies in the capital, Miss Fu Er can't do it, you can choose someone else, my son is not a girl Chu Wu!"
In her eyes, it is good for her son to marry anyone, as long as she is not a person related to Mei Ruochu, she can accept it even if she is the daughter of a commoner.
"I don't care about Xuanhui's life or death?" Mrs. Lin felt that the eldest princess' words hurt her heart, and her face suddenly became bad. She said, "Master Hongyi calculated that he would have a happy event in the second half of the year. If he missed this, he would be lonely for a lifetime. Master Hongyi calculated that Xuanhui had a marriage with Miss Chu Wu not long after. Isn't this fate? If you repeatedly stopped them, what do you mean?"
No matter what the other family is, she will agree as long as the grandson is willing to marry her. Moreover, this Wu Miss Chu is not bad in character. Yu'er invited her friends to play in Yingshui Villa. She secretly noticed this Wu Miss Chu. Seeing that she was generous in dealing with things, she did not squeeze her out because of some rumors when facing Miss Fu Er, and did not lose her sense of responsibility because others deliberately made things difficult for others.
Although she was a bit inconsistent with her sucking snake venom for Mr. Fu Wu, she could think about it from another perspective, but it didn’t just prove that she was calm and brave and resourceful when encountering things? If it were other girls, she would have been scared and at a loss.
As Xuan Hui's wife, she is definitely not the kind of delicate and weak daughter of a noble family. Mrs. Lin thinks that Chu Xinyu is just right, not too strong or weak, and most importantly, she has a tolerant heart.
The eldest princess said: "The wife didn't stop her, but she just wanted them to do things according to etiquette. If she passed, I wouldn't feel wronged. Do whatever she should do!"
The third wife of the Duke Mansion sat aside, sighing leisurely at the tea, and admired the bright red Danko from time to time. Seeing that the eldest princess and the old lady had been fighting for so long, they each had their own opinions, and said, "Master Hongyi's calculations have always been accurate. Do you not highly respect him? If Najibian's horoscope conflicts with each other and withdraws from this marriage, Xuanhui refuses to marry someone else, isn't it fulfilling what the master said..."
Hearing this, the eldest princess glanced at her unhappily. The third wife quickly changed her mouth and said, "Looking at my stupid and clumsy words, don't be angry. I think we did it according to etiquette when we married into the Duke's Mansion. Even Xuanying married Han, there was no reason for Miss Chu Wu to marry in, so she would be exempted from Najib's link. If there was a conflict, we could not break off the engagement, which would be better than having no confidence in our hearts. If this could not be resolved, for the sake of Xuanhui's life safety, we had to discuss with Miss Chu Wu to let her withdraw..."
Speaking of this, she paused.
Although she didn't say it, everyone knew what she was going to express. If Chu Xinyu insisted on marrying in even though he knew that the two of them had a conflict, it would be obvious that he was so selfish and only cared about his own people, and he would not think that she would share the joys and sorrows with her husband in the future.
"Besides, why didn't Xuan Hui not marry Miss Chu Wu? He was so persistent, just because he promised in front of the emperor? He hadn't fallen in love with Miss Fu Er before, and they were about to talk about marriage. Could it be that Miss Chu Wu had been pestering Xuan Hui privately? But then again, we are still too indulging in Xuan Hui. If we insisted, would he dare not obey?"
The third wife not only accused Chu Xinyu of being an indecent girl, but Lin Chenyao would not marry her because of her seduction. She also insinuatedly said that Lin Chenyao was not calm enough and acted recklessly.
After hearing these words, Lin Chenyao was not interested in continuing to listen. He stepped in and said with a smile: "Aunt San said I can, but in front of my grandmother and mother, please don't let Miss Chu Wu betray her. I want to keep my promise. But is it necessary for you to slander my fiancée in front of my grandmother and mother?"
The third wife froze and said hurriedly: "I'm not for your own good. Before Miss Chu Wu entered the door, she asked the old lady to argue with your mother about the employment. If she entered the door, wouldn't this family be ruined by her?"
These words are heartbreaking!
Lin Chenyao lowered his face, walked to Mrs. Lin, and said coldly: "It seems that I don't want to do it myself anymore?"
“…”
The third wife was speechless for a while and couldn't say a word for a long time. The eldest princess helped her smooth things out and said, "Don't your third aunt care about you yet. We do this because we are afraid that if there is a situation in the future, it will save you regret."
Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Chenyao and said, "No one believes in such mysterious and mysterious things as Najib except Master Hongyi. If you ask him to come to the mansion immediately, you can also make your mother feel at ease." Since you must leave according to etiquette, then use the person you believe in.
"After joining together, what if the two people have a conflict with each other?" asked the third wife.
Mrs. Lin frowned fiercely, and did not like the third wife's question, why do you always like to think about things badly, and even she doesn't like it anymore, let alone Lin Chenyao, he doesn't have the good temper of Mrs. Lin. "Can't Aunt Third think about the good? You care so much about me and Miss Chu Wu, do you have other plans in your mind?"
The third wife was a little guilty when she was choking him. She was indeed a little conceited in her heart and wanted him to express her opinion in front of the old lady. She believed that this was the eldest princess's intention. She just asked for the eldest princess, but she didn't expect that Lin Chenyao would be so embarrassed.
He was not such a person before. Although he was a little naive, he respected the elders in the mansion very much. Why did he contradict the elders so rudely today?
The eldest princess pulled her son's sleeve and scratched him. This was not a battlefield, so she had to tell the difference.
Mrs. Lin didn't want to revolve around this issue, so she changed the topic: "The clothes are dirty, why haven't you changed your clothes?" As she said that, she patted the dirt on Lin Chenyao's sleeve.
"I'm going to catch geese. When I came back, I heard that you were still holding your own opinions on the matter of hiring, so I hurried over." As he said that, Lin Chenyao took out the red post and the big red satin Bu from his sleeve and placed it on the table. "This is Chu Xinyu's Geng Tie and Master Hongyi's hexagram for our eight characters. Three days later, no matter what the result is, the bride price will be sent to the Zhongyi Hou Mansion."
The eldest princess picked up the big red satin Bu, spread it out and looked carefully, and her eyebrows were gathered up ashamedly. She said, "When did you invite Master Hongyi to be a good omen?" Didn't Master Hongyi leave Longhua Temple for some time? Did he cheat to marry Chu Xinyu?
"A few days ago, I went to Longhua Temple. Before leaving, Master Hongyi asked the presidency to hand it over to me." In other words, Master Hongyi calculated the result today. Since this is the case, it would be a waste of time to place the Geng Tie in front of the ancestor's case for three days.
After Lin Chenyao said these words, he turned around and left.
As soon as he walked through the door, Chen Guang came over, "Master, the message from the monk, Miss Chu Wu was sent to the palace by Concubine Qi."
