Chapter 867 The prospective son-in-law comes to the door
As a result of reporting the title of the book, until that day when Zhu Ying left the girls' school and went to Zhao Guogong's mansion to visit the wife, her face still showed a bit of annoyance that iron could not be transformed into steel. Although the Korean woman and she could not compete with each other, but
, she was naturally very angry when her well-educated person suddenly turned into an illiterate person.
But even so, she was still a smart Zhu Ying. As soon as she arrived at the door, she caught a glimpse of Zhu Er sneaking out. Then she rushed forward, grabbed him violently, and then asked in a bad tone
Said: "Second brother, where are you going?"
Zhu Er never thought that Zhu Ying was obviously distracted, but he would be spotted if he took a careful detour. He was annoyed, but when he saw the undisguised anger on Zhu Ying's face, he knew that he must have encountered something wrong today.
It was going well, but if he hesitated again, maybe the anger would fall on him, so he immediately smiled all over his face.
"Yingying, my grandmother sent me on a trip, um, to the Wang family..."
Before Zhu Er could finish his words, Zhu Ying immediately threw away the previous anger and anger. Instead of letting go, she held on tighter, even her eyes were shining: "Which Wang family? It's me.
The second sister-in-law’s house in the future? She and her mother have returned from Xuanfu? In this cold weather, why is Wang Datou not considerate at all? "
When Zhu Er saw Zhu Ying's excited look, he secretly thought that something was wrong. However, before he could think of what to say, he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind: "Miss, are you here to see the Madam? Madam?"
We have just had a rest, and we are in good condition today, and we have eaten more than in the past few days. As for the second young master going to the Wang family, it was the dowager's responsibility."
"I heard it was because it hadn't snowed recently and the road was relatively easy to walk, and the mother and daughter were worried about the old house at home, so they came back in a hurry." Jiang's mother saw Zhu Er turning around and looking at her with a resentful look, but she
He pretended not to see it and said to Zhu Ying with a smile, "Actually, if you ask me, it's probably because the wedding is coming soon, so I have to come back in a hurry to prepare."
"Although Wang Datou had already invited elders to help with preparations, and the two parties had gone through wedding ceremonies, etc., she was not the real mother after all. Speaking of which, if Wang Datou hadn't been responsible for the duties of the Governor of Xuanda, the emperor originally planned to summon him
He came back. Now it seems that he may not be able to come back in time."
It’s best not to come back in time. If Wang Datou comes back, then I will have a few mountains at home, and after marrying a daughter-in-law, I will have a mountain in the Yue family! Zhu Er complained so much in his heart, but he never dared to say it out loud.
Neng was able to apologize at the side. But then, when he heard Zhu Ying's statement, he panicked again.
"In that case, let me go with my second brother and see my grandma later!" Zhu Ying said, glancing at Zhu Er who was in a hurry, and raised her chin slightly, "Second brother, you are usually smooth-talking, but at critical moments you are
It's often unreliable. If I go with you, I can still make up for the missing parts."
Zhu Er opened his mouth to protest, but when he saw Jiang's mother nodding in agreement, he knew that nothing he could say would help. He could only accept the reality that his sister would follow him to meet his future wife in despair. However,
After going out and getting on the horse, he saw Zhu Ying also getting on the horse and following her. He couldn't help but asked stupidly: "You don't want to ride in the car?"
"It's not cold, what kind of car should I take, and it's not easy to talk to you!" Zhu Ying looked at her stupid second brother angrily, riding a horse and walking side by side, and then lowered her voice and said, "The more marriage matters,
Now, the more likely others are to find fault with you. Although Ashou often told me, the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the happier she becomes, but what if she meets someone harsh?"
"Anyway, I'll figure it out soon. If people are polite, I'll be respectful. If people are tricky, I'll be picky..."
After being told a lot by Zhu Ying, Zhu Er wasn't really panicked at first, but gradually his heart became uneasy. It's not like he had never seen his future wife, but he couldn't see anything clearly from a distance. As for talking,
It was even more wishful thinking. As for his future mother-in-law... in his impression, she was a person who didn't have much impression, because he had already been panicked at that time.
So, when he arrived at the Wang family's house with its dark gate and old courtyard walls from Zhao Guogong's mansion with rich families, he didn't have the consciousness of a rich son-in-law meeting a poor relative. Even when he spoke to the concierge, he spoke softly and slowly. And he was like this.
His attitude naturally made the servants of the Wang family full of favorable impressions - especially when the number of servants in the Wang family was far less than that of Duke Zhao, this impression was naturally very important.
But the person who attracts more attention than Zhu Er is Zhu Ying, who is wearing bright clothes and angry horses, and is calm and confident. The eldest lady is always the most eye-catching person wherever she goes, even if the protagonist today is Zhu Er, it is the same. And He
Compared with the legendary arrogance, the butler who came to greet her took a peek and saw that Zhu Ying always had a smile on her face, neither rushing to speak nor making any comments.
Except that it was a bit sudden for the younger sister to follow her elder brother to her future sister-in-law's house.
But now Zhu Ying is not only the daughter of the Zhu family, but the wife of the Zhang family, and she is not an unmarried eldest lady. When she comes to the Wang family, she is a married aunt coming to meet her future sister-in-law who has not yet married. It is only natural. And when
Zhu Ying met her second brother's future mother-in-law with a smile on her face. Seeing that she had kind facial features and kind words, she really just stood by and just watched the excitement.
Mrs. Li was originally a little worried that her daughter's future sister-in-law would be well-known in the capital, but when she saw her today, she found out that she was a very quiet girl, and she was immediately relieved.
Therefore, even though Zhu Er's words and deeds were slightly rigid and completely different from the rumored frivolous and incompetent second son of the Duke of Zhao, she just regarded him as a prodigal son who returned without money and didn't take it to heart at all.
When faced with the eight-color gift box sent by the Duke of Zhao, she thanked her again and again, but immediately ordered someone to prepare a return gift, specifically asking her daughter to deliver it in person.
Zhu Er was overjoyed to have such a considerate mother-in-law. But unlike Zhang Chen, who demanded stunning beauty, he had had enough of the most powerful women in his family, and his only requirement was to be virtuous.
Therefore, when the door curtain opened outside and a girl in simple clothes and elegant clothes came in, he only took one glance and felt that his whole body was about to float.
Although he had never been to Jiangnan Water Town, a picture emerged out of thin air in front of him at this moment, that is, in the misty rain, a girl who hired Tingting held an ink umbrella and walked out calmly, her eyebrows raised.
It looks like a distant mountain, but it is dark without being painted, and the lips are like sand, but are red without being dotted. The gentle and calm temperament that comes from the bones makes him lose his seven souls and six souls.
Fortunately, Zhu Er's self-control is now more than a little stronger than before. The absent-minded state only lasted for a short while before he was forced to suppress it. He deliberately turned his eyes slightly sideways, waiting for someone to come forward and salute.
, he also quickly sang a big song.
Although Mrs. Wang was also very interested in Zhu Ying who was standing aside, since her future husband was there, after she sent the return gift, she asked Zhu Er openly: "I heard that the second young master wants to come back."
Going to Cangzhou?"
Yes, I almost forgot, I am a good farmer now, Mr. Zhu. Even if I get married, I can’t stay at home all the time. I have to go to Cangzhou! Moreover, my grandmother is ill, and my sister-in-law is waiting in the Qing’an Hall all day long.
, even if I marry a daughter-in-law, I will probably still have to fulfill my filial piety in front of my grandmother...
Thinking of this, Zhu Er, who just felt full of joy, felt a little depressed and discouraged without realizing it. Then, he heard Zhu Ying's clear and sweet voice coming from the side: "Second brother really wants to be married after he gets married."
When I go to Cangzhou, spring plowing is about to begin, and many Haidong species that have been agreed upon with others must be sown. After all, farmers are afraid of taking risks, and it is easy to do one thing in person and behind the scenes."
Zhu Er finally woke up and nodded vigorously: "That's right, the villagers don't have that much knowledge after all. If something goes wrong after planting in one season, it will affect the whole family's livelihood, so I'm afraid they will only care about it."
At present, although I promised to support the trial planting before, and several selected old farmers also received money, I am afraid that something will happen when the time comes."
At this point, he was afraid that his fiancée would think that he was deliberately leaving her behind, so he quickly explained: "The most important thing over Cangzhou is the cotton from Haidong, and some other crops can be grown here in the capital.
So I won’t stay in Cangzhou forever and not come back..."
Just when he was about to say something like "Don't worry," Wang only smiled and said, "It's good that the second young master can put his business first."
Mrs. Li also smiled and said: "Yes, men should put business first. Even if the second young master is not committed to an official career, compared with living under the shelter of Zhao Guogong's mansion, going out to do such things within his ability is still a kind of responsibility."
.”
Suddenly receiving such praise, Zhu Erdeng felt that even his bones were lighter. He nodded repeatedly with joy, not even seeing Zhu Ying's expression of trying not to laugh, and then he didn't know what he said in front of his future mother-in-law and fiancée.
What.
It wasn't until he left the gate of Wang's house that he, who had been feeling a little hot before, finally woke up as if from a dream. He tried his best to recall his words and deeds just now, but he couldn't remember much at all. Now his face suddenly turned pale.
He asked Zhu Ying as if he was asking for help: "Yingying, I didn't just..."
"Did you say something wrong? Of course not." Zhu Ying raised her eyebrows slightly. Seeing Zhu Er let out a long sigh of relief, she said with a smile, "Second brother, you said a lot to your future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
I talked about the differences between Haidong’s cotton seeds and ours in all aspects, and then talked about peanuts and corn, but they didn’t chase you away.”
"I...I actually said this?"
Zhu Er felt that his jaw was about to drop. Although he was engaged to his wife and was about to marry her, but...he was too ignorant of the amorous feelings! He was so angry that he almost wanted to strangle himself to death, but when he saw
There was no anxiety in Zhu Ying's joking eyes. At this moment, his head was dizzy and he suddenly woke up again.
He immediately said tentatively: "Yingying, I was so dizzy just now. I don't remember what I said or how they reacted. Please do me a favor and give me some advice."
"No need to mention anything, second brother, you did a good job today. The kind of boy who is addicted to his own world, single-minded to the point of being a bit silly, in the eyes of your future mother-in-law and my future second sister-in-law, is better than a
The simple Guijie children are too strong!"
Zhu Ying smiled so hard that the corners of her mouth turned up high as she spoke: "Just relax. If you do something stupid, I will stand by you. As for not saying a word or reminding you?"
As Zhu Ying said, Mrs. Li and Wang's mother and daughter were simply indescribably satisfied with the visiting Zhu brothers and sisters. Even when the marriage was initially scheduled, they had met Zhu Er from a distance, and the Zhao Guogong Mansion also sent people from time to time.
, you keep saying that your second son’s temperament has changed drastically, but it’s better to see it than to believe it.
A man who will show some worry about gains and losses after meeting them, and talk endlessly about farm matters when talking about the future in the future tense, is naturally ten times better than the boastful Guijie disciples!
The Wang family's dowry had been prepared long ago, and the Zhu family had two weddings at the end of last year, so it was natural that they were very familiar with it. And if the wife hadn't suddenly fallen ill in bed, the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law Zhang would have to wait at Qing'an Hall most of the time.
Ji, the one who came to the Wang family today was not Zhu Er but her.
Mrs. Li had the most contact with the Wang family and her daughter, the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, who was born in Weinan County. And today I saw Zhu Ying again. Not to mention that Wang was a little more confident about her life after marrying into Zhao Guogong's family.
Even Mrs. Li couldn't help but have the idea of going to the temple to pay homage to the Bodhisattva.
God knows that ever since the emperor acted as a matchmaker and Wang Jie personally consulted mother and daughter, they have actually been worried - orphans and widowed mothers have been living together for so many years, and rejecting such a marriage might affect Wang Jie's future. How could they possibly
So selfish? Now it seems that the Zhu family's upbringing is one of the best even in the capital!
As for the reason for celebrating the wife who is seriously ill, none of them took it to heart. Everyone is born, old, sick and die. If the elderly are not allowed to watch their second grandson marry his granddaughter-in-law, are they going to leave her with lifelong regrets?
So, while Zhang Shou was busy deceiving the tiger, Zhu Ying was busy training the six Goryeo female historians, and the royal family was quietly burying the second prince, another marriage in the new year of Zhao Guogong's palace was in full swing. In the blink of an eye, another marriage was in full swing.
On the day when the Wang family had their hair and make-up done, the good-hearted people of the capital still lined the streets. As a result, the Wang family's dowry was very simple, only thirty-two taels in total.
Moreover, the dowry carried several times in the middle can clearly be seen to be sufficient.
Not to mention the scene of ten miles of red makeup when Zhu Ying got married, even when compared with the pomp and circumstance of marrying off a daughter in the Weinan Prince's Mansion, it was really far behind. However, the comments made by these busybodies saying that the woman was shabby did not affect the sentiments of everyone in the Duke of Zhao's Mansion at all.
Mood. The greeters were still smiling, and the eldest brother Zhu Tingfang was greeted at the door. The exchanges of etiquette between the two parties were not messy.
After welcoming Wang Jie's son and his young brother-in-law, who brought the dowry, to the door, Zhu Tingfang said in a deep voice: "The Madam sent a message this morning, saying that when the second younger brother and sister came in, they wanted to divide the family, so I trouble you to order."
