Chapter 124(1/2)
Since the two families had a tacit understanding of this matter, Chu Yu's enthusiasm that had been held back for two years was particularly unbearable. ……… I came out of the camp in the evening, and I didn't need to go home, but went to the Zhao family first for a walk.
Mrs. Chu was so angry that she complained to her husband, "Just just call him to change his surname to Zhao!"
General Chu took care of his wife with one sentence, and he sighed, "It's said that Ayu is more blessed than me. I thought that back then, I went there every day, mostly on the bench."
Mrs. Chu's face suddenly turned red and she said angrily, "Take me out of what happened eight hundred years ago again."
The couple happily talked about other things, but they would not mention Chu Yu anymore.
In fact, Chu Yu was not very comfortable now. He was originally in his sister's boudoir, and the two of them were whispering. As soon as their father-in-law came back, he invited him to the west wing room where guests were used. There was really little to say for two men with n generation gaps between them. Chu Yu knew in his heart that he would not want to get close to his sister's boudoir today, so he found a Yuzi to say goodbye.
Zhao Yong was not good enough to let his son-in-law go back hungry, so he ordered the kitchen to clean up the wine and food, and did not ask Chu Yu to eat more wine. Chu Yu was very willing to listen to his father-in-law, but Zhao Changqing's appearance was very annoying. For example, he smiled and said, "Sister Qing, you have no bad alcohol tolerance, but your face turned red as soon as you drink." After blushing, Chu Yu almost laughed out loud. Seeing his bad face, Zhao Yong really wanted to kick Chu's son-in-law out the door.
It's so annoying. No other creature hates more than a son-in-law in the world~
Zhao Yong said, "Changqing is young, don't always fool her." His stupid daughter, she met a husband who is such a ghost.
"No, my brother always takes care of her." Chu Yu was very attentive to hold a pot to his father-in-law and persuaded him to drink, "I have to ride a horse, it's not good to drink too much. Uncle, you drink a few more glasses. It's cold now, drink two glasses of wine and make it warm and sleep well."
After a while, Zhao Yong was drunk, and Chu Yu helped him wrap a big cloak and carry it into the house with a good look. He explained to Ling in a gentle and elegant manner, "My uncle was happy, so he drank a few more cups. My aunt gave him a bowl of sober soup, otherwise he would have a headache when he woke up. It was too late, so I'll go back first."
"You can also drink a sobering soup before leaving."
"Don't worry, aunt, uncle didn't ask me to drink."
Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Ling said, "Put your clothes, be careful on the road, don't ride fast horses." He sent Zhao Changning to see him off, complaining in his heart that her husband was unpredictable, so why did he get drunk in front of his son-in-law?
Zhao Changning sent Chu Yu to the door and kept looking at him. Chu Yu smiled, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Changning asked, "Brother Chu, are you going to marry my sister?"
"Yes! Why, are you unhappy I'll be your brother-in-law?" He had a good relationship with Zhao Changning. He just bribed his brother-in-law with a small bow and arrow two days ago.
Zhao Changning sighed, "You're not unhappy. My sister said before that she wouldn't ask me to talk to you, and she also said that you were going to marry a wife. Aren't you going to marry someone else? Why are you going to marry my sister again?"
Chu Yu smiled, "Your sister is shy. Most women say quarrels. They say 'being terrified', and they mostly think you are cute. They say 'ignoring you', but they actually want to pay attention to you very much. You have to listen to your sister's meaning in reverse."
Zhao Changning did not fall for Chu Yu's fool and said, "Nonsense, my sister never lie to me." Zhao Changning was nine years old and at a vague age, he asked Chu Yu suspiciously, "Did you fall in love with another woman first?" For a long time, his sister mentioned Chu Yu's unhappy appearance.
Chu Yu then told Zhao Changning his infatuation with Zhao Changning at the gate that he had said it in full form. Chu Yu's eloquence could brainwash his father-in-law, do homework for his father-in-law, and get his father-in-law drunk. It was a matter of minutes to take down Zhao Changning. Zhao Changning was moved and sniffed and said sincerely, "Brother Chu, you are such a good person!"
"Or, I dare not ask to marry Sister Qing." Touching Zhao Changning's head, Chu Yu reminded him, "Go back, it's cold." He got on his horse.
When Chu Yu returned home, he naturally wanted to pay his respects to his parents. Although he was often so angry that his teeth were itchy for his unfilial son, Mrs. Chu still asked with concern, "Do you have a meal?"
Chu Yu said, "I've eaten at my sister Qing's house."
Mrs. Chu's eyebrows jumped, "Changqing can eat with you?"
"Where, mom! How could I eat with the female family? I ate with Uncle Zhao." He took the tea brought by the maid and took a sip and asked, "Mom, can you and my father have dinner?"
"When is it now? I can't eat it? I've used it long ago." Mrs. Chu asked, "Have you eaten the sober soup?" She was unhappy with her own meal and poured it to please her father-in-law.
Chu Yu complained, "Uncle Zhao is so stingy that he didn't ask me to drink." Fortunately, he stole two jars of his father's good wine and sent it to him.
Mrs. Chu's wife was very convinced of Zhao Yong's move and said, "That's it. You ride a horse and it's cold, so it's better not to drink. Otherwise, it would be bad if you choke on the wind and get cold." She asked him again, "You've been so arrogant, but you've seen Miss Zhao?"
Chu Yu was filled with joy and laughing, "I saw you, but I saw you, just look at your sister, which is more generous and interesting than being generous at the beginning." This is lies. Now Zhao Changqing is still immersed in the joy of marriage, and she smiles when she sees him. It is so cute. Chu Yu took the opportunity to touch his little hands twice, but Zhao Changqing didn't hit him out.
Mrs. Chu smiled, "There are no shy girls at home, so don't always go there without any trouble. Girls are reserved, so you should be more respectful." Don't always be as if you are overwhelmed.
Chu Yu said, "Why not go! It's mine anyway, sooner or later, I'll go and see what's up."
"Bastard!" A smiled and scolded. Seeing that his son liked him so much, he would be able to calm down even if he had any intentions. Her marriage was good and the couple was harmonious, so she naturally wanted to find a sweet daughter-in-law for her son. Besides, Mrs. Chu was not the scheming woman. At this time, she recognized Zhao Changqing, so she only thought about the benefit of others and said with a smile, "Our two families have been decided, but Changqing is young and has no ceremony to get engaged before she can get married. She will prepare for the engagement. When Changqing gets married, she will get engaged."
"It's nothing to book early, right?" Chu Yu was very anxious.
Mrs. Chu said, "You are too late now? I heard that during the Dafeng Dynasty, they explicitly stipulated that they could not get married under the age of eighteen. These rules were not very particular about the previous dynasties, but there were also worldly things. They never got married after fifteen, and at least they got sixteen."
Chu Yu sighed, "That's all we have to do."
Mrs. Chu laughed, "It's too late, go and rest." After sending her son to rest, Mrs. Chu discussed with her husband, "I think it's not appropriate to get engaged now. It's not a big deal for Ayu to always run to others like this. When will we go to Zhao's house and change the Geng Tie first. One is that Miss Zhao is a small person, and although this matter has not been prescribed, it is still settled, and they have a clear understanding of each other. Second, no matter what, even before marriage, you have to make a fortune."
General Chu said seriously, "Very good."
Among them, Chu Yue was running errands. Chu Yue smiled with her husband, "I became my eldest brother's matchmaker."
Liang Qingyuan smiled, "It's right to say that. If you hadn't been with Miss Zhao over the years, they wouldn't have seen each other."
Chu Yue laughed, "Where is me? When my elder brother pretended to be me when he was a child, he attended the birthday party of the old lady of the Zhu family. He met Sister Qing, and when he got home, he urged me to post a post to invite her. We only met him now."
Liang Qingyuan was deeply impressed, "Did my uncle have been..."
"Stop talking nonsense." Chu Yue smiled and said, "At best, I just thought that Sister Qing was cute. She was round and white when she was a child, and it was very painful." As he said, Chu Yue became upset again and said, "You said, why haven't I?" It's been more than a year since she got married.
Liang Qingyuan smiled and comforted his wife, "What's the matter? We are all young. I heard that even my mother-in-law was born to you and Ayu in her early twenties."
The couple talked for a while, but they were still calm and did not mention it.
However, after a polite and good meeting between General Chu, Mrs. Chu and Zhao Yongling, Mrs. Chu said to General Chu in private, "The Zhao family's house is spacious, but when the furniture is mediocre, it is probably not much to accompany you. We must prepare more betrothal gifts and look good when carrying the dowry in the future."
General Chu laughed, "We are not people who want to pay for our daughter-in-law's money, so why bother with this? Only Ayu is the only son in the family, and they will be theirs in the future. As long as Miss Zhao is a polite person and married, she will be better than any dowry."
Mrs. Chu smiled, "That's true, then I'll go with someone to combine the eight characters."
I have to say that the gods and immortals in Buddhism and Taoism were very powerful. Within two days, Mrs. Chu said to her husband with joy, "It's great good luck! It's said that Miss Zhao's horoscope is good, and it will be prosperous for her husband and son! She can't get along with us Ayu anymore. It's that, a combination made by heaven!"
After hearing this, General Chu was also happy and laughed, "Take it and take a look."
Mrs. Chu took a bunch of comments to her husband, and General Chu was shocked, "How many monks have you found to combine the eight characters?"
Mrs. Chu smiled, "Not only monks, but also Taoist priests and sisters. I have used to join people for a long time. It is indeed very good. There are also comments on Miss Zhao's horoscopes. You can see how accurate it is. She said that she was born in a low and noble body. She was blessed by fate. She was blessed by God. She was lucky to be in trouble. She turned bad luck into good fortune. She had both descendants and grandchildren. It was a great fortune. This was personally criticized by the monk from Ping'an Temple! The monk also said that with such horoscopes, whoever can marry will be prosperous! Fortunately, our son has a good vision!" It was early to start!
Any family that has a foundation can't win the life!
Especially Mrs. Chu herself is very loyal. She married the most common sisters at the beginning. As a result, she was lucky. Not only did she have a promising future, but she had a better character when she met her husband.
Because Zhao Changqing's horoscope is lucky, Mrs. Chu threw away all the dislikes before and discussed with her husband, "I wonder how many pairs of twins Miss Zhao can give birth to our family in the future? Hurry up and take out the names of your grandchildren, don't panic at that time."
General Chu said in a state of mind: Nothing is more fickle than a woman!
Chu Yu: Why didn’t I think of the trick to tell fortunes?
After changing the Geng Tie, you will pass the Ming Road.
Chu Yu often went to the Zhao family. He could only go to see Zhao Changqing in the evening. When he arrived at Xiu Mu, he came to Zhao Changqing early to go out for a date. Because he could speak and acted beautifully, he bought him all from Mr. Zhao to Zhao Changyu, and even Mr. Su and Su Bai were not left behind. There were also servants and servants of the Zhao family. Because Mr. Chu was generous, he even said good things about Chu Yu. Chu Yu didn't like Zhao Rong very much, but his face was not revealed.
Zhao Changqing asked Chu Yu to come to her room, and took out a box of patterns and said, "Brother Chu, please choose a pattern you like, and I will embroider a purse for you."
Chu Yu was obviously not satisfied with small objects like purses and handkerchiefs. He said, "If you have the will, just make a set of clothes for me to wear."
"If you want to talk about clothes in the future, are you going to be picky?" She said so proactively, but she didn't give her face.
Chu Yu looked through Zhao Changqing's things and smiled, "Are the flowers here all saved for me?" They are all simple and elegant.
"Look at you so beautiful." Zhao Changqing quietly blushed and urged, "Choose quickly, don't you still have to go out? Don't be irritated."
Chu Yu pointed casually, "Just this."
"It's a blessing in the clouds, a bit pure. It's still the one with a lotus flowers that looks good, what do you think?" Zhao Changqing said, "It's a lotus flowers that are more tangled." Then he made up his mind.
Chu Yu’s black line, “Are you asking me to choose?”
"Who told you that you have a bad attitude?" Zhao Changqing said, "Liuyun Baifu will use it before you get older. If you use this at a young age, it will make you look dusk." Picking out the flowers and putting them in the pages of the book, Zhao Changqing smiled and asked, "Where are we going?"
Chu Yu liked her little housewife's appearance, and reached out to pinch her nose, "I'll know when I go."
Zhao Changqing left with Chu Yu happily, and Zhao Yong and Ling said, "Don't always go out."
Ling said, "A Yu always comes over. Did he drive him out? Besides, A Yu has time to rest. They have a good relationship so that they can live a better life in the future. Your temper that you dislike your son-in-law will have to change. Now it is Changqing, and A Rong will have to get married in the future."
"Who said I disliked my son-in-law?"
Ling laughed, "Or it wasn't they who got drunk in front of their son-in-law last time and felt sorry for their face?"
"Nonsense." That brat actually got his father-in-law drunk, and he was lawless. However, Zhao Yong would never admit it!
Ling smiled and said, "I have serious things to discuss with you. Changqing is young now and still can't marry her. However, we have changed our Geng Tie, and this dowry should be prepared. Ayu is six years older than Changqing, and we can't keep her at home for one or two years when we Changqing and the hairpin."
This is the disadvantage of finding an "old son-in-law"! Zhao Yong thought for a moment and said, "It's just to prepare a dowry first. Over the years, we have also saved some high-quality wood. I'll ask someone to pay attention. It's best to get some red sandalwood and other things back."
While listening, Ling nodded, "I told the shopkeeper to get some high-quality materials next year, and the embroidery work in the dowry will start to be made. There is no hurry to wear these things every year, and it will not be too late to get them after two years. We don't have much antiques or something." If you marry an ordinary family, you don't have to pay attention to this. However, wealthy families are particularly particular.
Zhao Yong was so open-minded, "The General's Mansion knows what our family is like. We will do our best to accompany the girl, and there is no need to pretend to be fat. Changqing is not that vain person."
Ling smiled, "That's true. I carefully calculated it, took out three thousand taels for her to prepare a dowry, and found a small village to accompany her." Three thousand taels seemed not much, but it was not much. Zhao Yong had been a hundred households for a few years, and the Zhao family had a poor foundation, so this was already the most of them. Ling thought of something, and suddenly smiled and said, "Besides, our Changqing married well, and our ancestors have always loved her, and then there was no one who would not add makeup to our ancestors."
Zhao Yong said, "Let's do it for now. After all, the marriage has not been settled yet, so don't yell everywhere."
Ling smiled, "How can I not know this? After all, we are women, so we should be more reserved in everything." In fact, I was crazy about showing off, and insisted on taking advantage of the airs to endure it. It was so painful and happy.
Now Ling's family is so happy, especially when they think of Zhao Changqing's marriage, there is no dissatisfaction. After the Mid-Autumn Festival and the winter season, the white woman made her two daughters a set of gold jewelry, and then prepared to ask them to make two more fresh dresses to wear.
Ling smiled and sighed, "It's the age you should dress up, you can look good in whatever you wear."
The white woman smiled and flattered, "Our two girls are good-born, and they look good in everything they wear. If they are stupid and rough, even the brightest material on their body, it will be a waste."
Ling smiled, "Don't say that when you go out, you'll call others frivolous." He was also very proud that his daughter was born with a beautiful appearance, especially the eldest daughter, who looked good and had good rules and etiquette. Ling said, "When Changqing used to miss school when he was a child, I thought that the family was not rich, so I was reluctant to let it go. Now I understand the benefits of this. Men are wise in their studies, just girls. After studying and learning, they learn words, and they are different." So we have such a good future now.
"Yes. Although I don't know how to say it, I think our girl's behavior is different from other girls." The master's family's joyful events are also the joyful events of the slaves. Bai Pozi looked at Zhao Changqing and smiled, "It's also the gentleman we hired. I don't think that I'm better than our girls." This is not false. Mr. Su has been in the Zhao family for many years. Bai Pozi and others respect his own character. Not to mention that Su Bai's success is getting better every year. Every year, he gets the highest reward in school. He said that the examiner will be studying in the year. Bai Pozi and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the servants and the persons have discussed it privately, saying that Su Bai will definitely be the master in the future.
Ling said, "It's a good thing you reminded me, it's cold. After I sent the skins that were sent back last time, I remember to remind me and give me some to Mr. Su."
The white woman quickly agreed.
To be continued...
