fifty-seven: marriage
After seeing the gift, Brother Fu and his three sisters knelt on the ground and kowtowed Wen Wan three times. Although Wen Wan often received gifts, it was the first time she received such a big gift.
Wenwan smiled and thought about what Brother Fu was going to do, otherwise she would suddenly kowtow and give a big gift. Wenwan asked the maid to help Brother Fu, "What are you doing, you kid?"
Brother Fu looked up at Wen Wan: "Auntie, if I hadn't sent someone to secretly protect me two years ago, I wouldn't know where I am now. Brother Fu thanks my aunt for helping me."
Wenwan deliberately asked someone to stay in the room for more days to suffer for him. What Wenwan didn't expect was that Brother Fu, who had suffered this time, seemed to have grown up overnight. Brother Fu, who used to cry and make fun of playing and eating, became much more sensible when he went back.
Wenwan waved to Brother Fu who was kneeling on the ground: "Come to my aunt."
Wen Wan touched Brother Fu'er's head, thinking that when Brother Fu was young, she held it in her hand. At that time, she loved it so much when she looked at Brother Fu'er, she looked at him.
Zhenzhen saw Wenwan's attitude towards the four children, especially when she was as good as before, and she felt much more relaxed. She smiled and took on Wenwan's words: "Yes, it's been five years. The child is growing fast, and I haven't seen Mingrui and Mingjin yet. Wenwan, I heard that Rui looks very much like General Bai, and Mingjin looks very much like you."
The children also had curiosity in their eyes. The two cousins had heard of them, but they had never seen them. According to the saying that the elders came over, the aunt should let them wait early. Why haven't you seen anyone yet? I'm really puzzled.
After hearing Su Zhenzhen's words, Xia Yao had a cold sarcasm in her eyes. Elders still dare to present their elders' prose. I really think the princess's mansion is your home.
Mingrui and Mingjin did not appear. It was Xia Yao's meaning. Xia Yao didn't want Wen Wan to call Mingrui and Mingjin out to meet Zhenzhen and the others. Anyway, Wen Wan only maintains a facial relationship with Ping Shangtang. Xia Yao thinks it is better not to let the two children have more contact with them. So this time Xia Yao suggests not to bring the children out directly.
Wenwan followed Xia Yao's advice, but Wenwan's meaning was not said. If Zhenzhen didn't mention it, Wenwan wouldn't say it. If it was mentioned, it would not be rude to let the two children come out. Then he heard Su Zhenzhen ask and smiled and said, "Sir is teaching. Someone is coming. Let's tell the teacher that a guest is coming. Please come over." Zhenzhen is an elder of two children, and he will lose his courtesy if he doesn't say anything.
Su Zhenzhen heard Wen Wan say that the guest was coming, but she didn't say that her aunt was coming. She looked at Wen Wan, but saw a decent smile on Wen Wan's face. She could swallow anything in her stomach.
When Mingrui and Mingjin came out, the four children found it interesting to see it. Mingrui and Mingjin were wearing exactly the same royal blue long clothes. Not to mention clothes, they were also the same hairstyle, the hairpin on their heads, and the ornaments they wore. However, not only did they look different, but they also had obvious differences in height. Such a big difference would not make people confused.
The two children and Zhenzhen are naturally called aunts. Zhenzhen looked at the two of them. According to the saying, although the twins look different, they are both boys and their figures should be similar. Why is Mingjin still short?
In fact, Wen Wan is already very happy to get this effect. According to Mingjin's lazy personality, if Wenwan and Mingrui had not been oppressed and whipped by Wenwan and Mingrui, Mingjin would not be so obedient now. Now Mingjin is not picky about food, is not afraid of fatigue, or complains about martial arts seriously, otherwise he will definitely lose his height now. Although Mingjin is still shorter than Mingrui, Wen Wan is very satisfied. It doesn't matter if it is a little bit worse, so it's too much.
Zhenzhen gave a gift to meet. She wanted to hold Mingrui and Mingjin's hands to show her intimacy. However, Mingrui pushed back with caution, and Mingjin also made the same move. Zhenzhen was stunned at the moment, and turned a little embarrassed.
Wen Wan explained with a smile: "These two children are like me, afraid of having sex. When I was young, I didn't like to touch others. You won't forget it." In fact, it's not that the two children are afraid of having sex, but that both children are sensitive people. The two children have already felt from the atmosphere on the scene that this person is not close to his family. He becomes unfamiliar.
When Su Zhenzhen heard this, her expression calmed down a lot.
Brother Fu looked at Ling Xi, Ming Rui and Ming Jin, and his eyes were filled with ecstasy. Although it means that Rui and Ming Jin are two years younger than him, their heights are not much different. Brother Fu was very happy to see the two brothers.
Wenwan noticed the change in Fu Ge'er's expression and felt a little confused. If she was happy to see her peers and had her companions happy, it would be reasonable. Why is there ecstasy in her eyes? It's very strange.
After the two children met, Mingrui ignored Brother Fu'er's eager eyes and said to Wen Wan with a faint expression: "Mom, sir, are still waiting for me and my brother!" From the name just now, Mingrui already knew that this was from the Ping family. He had already known the past between Wen Wan and the Ping family in the village. Mingrui developed a disgust for the people of the Ping family. Although the person who came here was his uncle's family, it was not his relative's uncle's family, but he was just an adopted person. With the atmosphere on the scene, Mingrui was very sure that his mother would not be close to this family. Their brothers were all six years old and didn't even hear of this family. Just the clothes he wore showed the problem. His mother always wore casual clothes to meet people in the inner courtyard. Now, this dress is obvious that the relationship is average.
Wen Wan smiled and waved her hand: "Then go quickly, don't let the sir wait too much." Ling Xi followed Wen Wan in the countryside for so long. When she came back from the palace yesterday, Wen Wan had someone send him back to the East Palace and had four days off. She asked him to reunite with his family.
Mingrui took Mingjin back. When Brother Fu saw the two of them going down, he wanted to speak, but was stopped by Meng Xuan's sharp eyes. Since the aunt did not speak, Mingrui and Mingjin's attitude was also very obvious. If you don't like them, it would be despised if you go up again.
Brother Fu'er saw Mingrui and Mingjin leaving, and his eyes were filled with gloom.
Zhenzhen didn't know the feeling after seeing it. For more than five years, five years made her and Wenwan so unfamiliar. In the past, she went directly to Wenwan's yard when she went to the princess's house. Now she met them in the living room. And Wenwan now doesn't let the children come into contact with each other. Wenwan is already alienated from her. However, Zhenzhen thought about her sister-in-law's words, and her heart suddenly became aware of herself. For the sake of herself and for a few children, she must slowly restore her relationship with Wenwan.
Wenwan saw Zhenzhen and said something to her, and asked the maid to take a few children out: "Looking at your confused look, I will say anything if you have anything to do."
Now that the children are no longer here, there is nothing to avoid. Zhenzhen then said: "Wenwan, my sister-in-law means to kiss her. Betroth Menglan to Hang'er, who is my eldest brother's eldest son, Suhang. Wenwan, what do you think of this marriage?"
Xia Yao really wanted to complain. The princess had already spoken out and would not get married within three generations. What was this question? If Xia Yao hadn't had an inappropriate identity, she would really want to curse her mind.
Wen Wan's meaning must be inappropriate. Although she doesn't like Ping Shangtang, she has seen all three girls grow up, and she also likes these children very much. Naturally, she also hopes that these children can always be good: "I know what you mean. The Su family is your mother's family, a scholarly family. Meng Lan married, the grandmother is her grandmother, and the mother-in-law is her aunt. Hai has always had a good relationship with you. She will definitely treat Meng Lan well. I also heard that Su Hang is also good at learning. She is already born at the age of fourteen and will have a provincial examination in the second half of the year. There is really nothing to be picky about in external conditions, but if you ask me what I mean, I definitely disagree. You should know why I disagree."
Wen Wan does not deny that Suzhou and Hangzhou have good external conditions. They are handsome, have good knowledge, and have bad family background. However, Wen Wan only has one, so they will not pass, and they will be close relatives. Getting close relatives is not good for children. This is also scientifically based on modern times. What if something bad happens to the child in the future?
I really didn't expect Wen Wan to resist this cousin getting married so much. She was very embarrassed at the moment: "Wen Wan, I know you think Meng Lan is as painful as a daughter. But... my mother told me personally that she wanted to get married, and my husband agreed."
Wenwan was not angry, even if there was no trace of Lan: "Since I agreed, there was nothing to say. When Menglan got married, I would definitely add makeup." It turned out that it was just a notice. It was not to follow her opinion. Then what else would you say? It was a waste of words. Wenwan was not interested in continuing to talk to Su Zhenzhen.
Zhenzhen saw Wen Wan's attitude cold and hurriedly said, "Wen Wan, actually, my father expressed his intention to get married five years ago. I refused at that time, and I was afraid that the situation you said would happen. Wen Wan, I believe what you said. I also found several families in Jiangnan, all of which were good. But what I don't know is that the master has promised my father to betrothed Meng Lan to Hang'er. In the past few days, my sister-in-law has been telling me about this. My sister-in-law has repeatedly promised me that if Meng Lan married, she would treat Meng Lan as her own daughter. Wen Wan, you also know that I have always had a good relationship with my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law begged like this, I really can't refuse..."
Wen Wan was originally dissatisfied with two points, but after hearing this, she was a little strange: "There are so many ladies of all sizes in the capital, and the Su family is also first-class in the capital, and Su Hang has good conditions in all aspects. No matter where you can find a girl of a good match. Since you believe that the cousin I said is inappropriate, why don't you refuse directly on this reason?"
Zhenzhen was helpless about this: "Wenwan, this statement doesn't work. My mother wanted to tell her niece of her mother's family to Su Hang. My sister-in-law didn't want to, but she didn't dare to disobey my mother. Meng Lan is also my mother's nephew, and she didn't object to tell Meng Lan to Hang'er's mother." She also wanted to refuse, but her sister-in-law was sincere and sincere, and promised to treat Meng Lan as her daughter. In addition, Ping Shangtang had agreed, so she didn't want to object.
Wen Wan was silent for a moment. After all, she really didn't believe what she said. Wen Wan was not an unreasonable person, she could understand. The reason was very simple. Many family relationships depended on marriage, especially wealthy families liked to get married. After so many years of deep-rooted thoughts and interests, it was difficult to change in an instant. Since the biggest problem in Wen Wan's eyes was not a problem, everything else was perfect. Hai's request for Zhenzhen again, if he didn't agree, he would have a bad relationship with his parents' family.
However, Wen Wan also heard it from Zhenzhen's words. It turned out that it was a battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Haishi was not satisfied with Mrs. Su's daughter. Meng Lan met the requirements in all aspects. Wen Wan smiled and said, "Since you agree, there is no reason to go back on your word. But I still said that, you can make it privately, but don't change the Geng Tie for the time being. Wait until the child is in trouble before getting engaged, and get married after he is over 16 years old." This is also the biggest benefit Wen Wan won for Meng Lan.
Zhenzhen said carefully: "Wenwan, Su Hang is in good health and has good knowledge." Zhenzhen means that Su Hang is in good health and is already fourteen years old and will not be in trouble.
Wen Wan didn't talk to Zhenzhen: "You told Hai directly that this is what I mean. I have agreed in private that as long as there is no problem, it doesn't matter if you exchange Geng Tie two years later." Meng Lan is now thirteen years old, and she will be in the same garrison for more than two years. After the garrison is completed, she will get married one year later and be able to come.
Zhenzhen nodded quickly after hearing this.
Xia Yao showed contempt. With the princess' words, it was the princess who offended people, not her. So she agreed to it with pleasure.
Wenwan was not very disgusted with this. Zhenzhen is no longer as loving as before with her husband. She still has to rely on her parents' support. If she has a bad relationship with her parents, if she is bullied by Ping Shangtang in the future, who will support her? Zhenzhen can agree and prove that she loves the children, which is also good. So Wenwan didn't say anything else.
Wen Wan actually postponed her to the age of fifteen and after she was in the throne because she felt that the 14-year-old child had no sense of anything. Think about Baoyu in Dream of Red Mansions, she praised her as a flower outside, but inside, she cheated on whom she married. The rumors were the most unreliable. Wen Wan planned to wait two years later, and Su Hang had also made a decision. Before getting engaged, she would have someone to check it carefully. If it was really good, she would marry even if there was danger. If it was not adjusted, she would not exchange anyway, but she would just make a verbal promise. As long as it was not spread, she would find another household.
When I saw Xia Yao's contempt, I didn't know what it felt. If it were before, she might have mentioned a few words to Wen Wan. But now, she didn't dare to say anything. What is Xia Yao's identity? Just from the fact that the emperor is the witness and Prince Hao is the master of marriage, we can see that the identity is valuable.
She sighed heavily. If it weren't for the fact that there was nothing she could do, she wouldn't want to agree. But she wouldn't be able to refuse. Her sister-in-law has always been very nice to her and has given her a lot of help over the years. If she doesn't agree now, it's impossible to say anything.
