Chapter 601 An overly eager son
In the evening, Mrs. Qu called both her sons and Luo over.
Hearing the dowager lady finish her sentence, Qu Zhilin first disagreed, this matter he didn’t know yet, raising his eyes to Luo’s, he said with dissatisfaction, “Nonsense, how can you set up a banquet and invite guests at a time like this.”
The Qu Mansion has been pushed to the tip of the wind and waves because of Yu’s matter, but whenever there is a dispute between wives and concubines in the family, it will involve the Qu Mansion, and when it comes to that Xiao Yue’s, who was killed by Yu’s, now at this time, it is even more important to go to pay homage to Xiao Yue’s first, and everything should be based on Xiao Yue’s puja.
As for everything else, it has to get out of the way.
What could be more important than this matter? The entire Qu Mansion’s reputation rests on this.
Qu Zhilin is an imperial historian, and he understands better what people’s words can be feared, because of this matter, he, the eldest uncle of the next house, has been mocked by his peers many times, not to mention his own younger brother.
“But … but Minghui said that the young lady is going to be matched, if he doesn’t settle down quickly, he will miss his whole life!” This will not have Qu Mo Ying in, Luo’s also not cover up, red eyes crying, “I also know that this time is not appropriate, but … Yue’s long gone, this is Yu’s doing, and we do not have much to do with it, and we will just slightly invite a few young ladies, not let people find out on the line. ”
Luo was really unconvinced, and she was also worried about her son and daughter’s marriage.
Now that my daughter can’t make something of herself for a while, and my son has been reluctant to talk about marriage before, why can’t I get engaged sooner rather than later when I’ve got a target and a good offer.
Xiao Yue’s been dead for more than ten years, and it’s not a new funeral, so why not let people organize a banquet ! The living is always more important than the dead! The most important thing, the thing that year, with the East House has nothing to do, to make a fuss is also the West House of the people to make a fuss.
Of course the latter this Luo did not dare to say in front of the dowager lady, this can only be aggrieved and cried.
Qu Zhizhen didn’t say anything, his gaze sullenly glanced at Luo before turning to his own big brother, as long as he wasn’t a huckster, he wouldn’t make such a request at this time.
Qu Zhilin’s hand slammed the table so heavily that the tealights on the table shook and almost fell off, making a ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.
Luo was startled and no longer dared to cry out, hastily taking a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
The dowager lady gave her eldest son a displeased look, “Speak properly!”
“Mother, how come I didn’t speak properly, but does she understand this? It’s such a time, what kind of matchmaking banquet is still to be held, in order not to let people say it’s a matchmaking banquet, but also have to invite a few more people, even not only those ladies, may have to invite one family at a time, so many people, make a big fuss in the city, will certainly let the emperor reprimand me and second brother, this is too good for the day to be too good for the day?”
The more Qu Zhilin said, the more annoyed he became, he only felt that he was blind for marrying Luo, this confused one, in the first place.
The birth is also regarded as a great lady, how can this vision be so small? Speaking of this so-called great lady, of course, is the local, compared to the capital family of those ladies, completely not a level.
“Mother, I’ll just invite not many families.” Luo looked at the Dowager Lady for help, clearly still not giving up on her previous idea.
“How many families are you inviting? The large family that came, there’s a young lady and a male son, as well as the lady and the male master, a family is quite a lot of people, plus a few more, are you afraid that people won’t know about the big banquet in your mansion, a big banquet at a time like this, Luo, is that really what you’re thinking?”
Seeing that she was still persistent, the dowager lady was also annoyed, and with a low cough, she sternly reprimanded.
“But … but Minghui he …” Luo’s tears couldn’t help but fall again, condescendingly said.
“Why does a great man have no wife, who Ming Hui wants to marry, wait for his day after the spring boudoir, as long as the examination, what kind of choices are there, and why do you need to be such a family.” Qu Zhilin did not have the good sense to say.
“But Minghui said he just wants to marry this young lady … not to marry anyone else.” Luo’s timidly said, she actually also some heart, now think about it is anxious some, this young lady’s condition is actually general, relative to the current Qu Minghui, really is not a good choice, but the son just like, with the evil like.
What if his day son is in high school? There are a ton of better offers than her, maybe even better.
But the way her son knelt in front of her and begged, Luo’s heart ached again.
“If you don’t want to marry, don’t marry, if there is fate, it will come naturally, if there is no fate, how can you force it!” Qu Zhilin impatiently said, “Well, this matter to this to, this few days you put the matter of the ceremony to prepare, to the Yue clan to organize a ceremony, Qingyun Guan side you go to contact, well prepared, must let people see that we are sincere and sincere to do the Yue clan’s ceremony.”
The public opinion is now going in the right direction, and it doesn’t say much good about the Qu’s house either.
Qu Zhilin Qu Zhizhen brothers are still taunted from time to time, Qu Zhizhen is even more worried that it will affect their career, Qu Zhilin although the relationship is not so big, but a pen can not write two Qu words, the two brothers or Qu Zhizhen out of some, if Qu Zhizhen can not be promoted, the Qu House will be the same.
“I’ll go talk to Ming Hui there, you just focus on handling Yue’s legal affairs.” Afraid that Luo is still entangled, Qu Zhi Lin said a bit more bluntly, “Don’t think about things that are not there, getting Yue’s affairs done is the biggest thing, everything else in the mansion right now is trivial and can be given way.”
As far as Yue’s matter is a big deal, the matters of her own children are all small matters, Luo’s angry face was ugly, but she had to swallow this breath and agreed.
Luo has already agreed, the two brothers also said some things in the court, as well as the next matters to pay attention to, the dowager lady listening to the two brothers say, although did not talk, but still nodded repeatedly, think the two of them said very reasonable, Qu House now to do is low profile.
Sincerely give the Yue clan a way to do things, so that the people of the capital can see the sincerity of the Qu family.
As for the rest, this time do not even think about it, do not do, the more you do the more wrong, said the Qu Fu at this time.
Luo is also listening, looking also seems to be listening carefully to the two brothers, but in fact did not listen to anything, only to feel the heart is stuffy, very uncomfortable, they are the first lady of the Qu House, why in the Yue’s death was also the Yue’s pressure, by the Yue’s pressure even if, their own sons and daughters, why should they also be left behind a head.
What she had to organize was her son’s matchmaking banquet, how could she have the heart to do Yue’s puja.
It was obviously a happy event, but she was asked to organize a funeral, Luo’s heart was vomiting.
闷闷的听着,闷闷的听他们说完,随着曲志霖回东府,到晚上睡觉的时候,还翻来覆去的睡不着,只觉得心口处的那口气,吞不下去也吐不出来。
The next day when Qu Zhilin was not there, Luo took a beloved granny to see her daughter.
After Qu Xuexin was picked up, he didn’t live in the previous courtyard, but only in the backyard in a small courtyard by the back door, the main house in the small courtyard was packed out like a small Buddha Hall.
Previously picked up, Luo assured the Dowager Empress, only said that let her still quietly raised in the backyard place.
Now this place was still chosen by Qu Xuexin herself.
Luo’s also dare not send people over to serve, still only red plum one person, white plum sent out, this will not be in the house, leaving only red plum a person in the side of Qu Xuexin.
Hearing a sound at the courtyard door, Hong Mei greeted her and stepped forward to give Luo a bow, “First Lady.”
“How is Missy?” Luo reached out and pointed to the house, whispering.
“It’s the same as always, Missy’s body is still not feeling well.” Hong Mei whispered.
Luo nodded and turned to enter the house, here in the main house small Buddha Hall above the incense burner is enshrined, Luo did not look at it, straight from the main house turned to one side of the compartment.
“Mother!” In the compartment, Qu Xuexin was embroidering a scented capsule, and when she saw Luo come in, she hurriedly put the scented capsule in her hand under her pillow and greeted her with a slightly reddened face.
Out of the corner of her eye, Luo only scanned a flash of red that should have been a red scented pouch.
“Why do you embroider such brightly colored scented pouches, let your grandmother see it and she’ll be angry again.” Luo’s exasperated, “Why are you so unintelligent, you are in purification.”
“Mother, I … will only dare to embroider here, I … I like this bright color, and don’t want to see this plain defeat … as if it were a hairy Moldy colors.” Qu Xuexin’s tears fell, surplus hanging on the face, looking pitiful, her complexion was originally not so good, so a tear, more and more people’s heartache.
Luo’s heart was pumping with pain, reaching out to pull Qu Xuexin into her arms, crying loudly, “My poor son, it’s mother’s uselessness that she can’t protect you.”
“Mother, why are you saying this, you’re already protecting me!” Qu Xuexin cried, tears falling in bunches.
“Don’t cry, you cry again, I … can’t help it.” Luo’s is also a night did not sleep well, this will see their own hold in the palm of the daughter, so commission dare, where can not hold back, while gently patting Qu Xuexin’s back, while choking said.
What kind of sins did she really do, why did she have to let the West House do everything, now her own children are letting it go again and again because of the West House, she is really not willing to do that.
“Mother, did something happen? Is it possible that father doesn’t agree with big brother’s matter?” Qu Xuexin sensed that Luo’s mood was not right, and also reached out her hand to clumsily pat Luo’s back, saying with a heart full of anxiety.
These words stabbed in Luo’s sad place, Luo’s tears fell more,”Your father … he is a confused, single-mindedly for the West House, so many years, although our East House for the big, but who outside us as a matter of fact, all say how the Qu House of the West House, bias him still single-mindedly for the West House …”
Luo said to hate, only feel aggrieved hard, aggrieved to the extreme and resentment.
Obviously the East House is the big one, so why should the West House be the main thing.
“Mother, don’t be sad, you first sit down, listen to me tell you.” Qu Xuexin heard that things have changed, the hand fell to help in the Luo’s shoulders, pulling her in the chair to sit down, personally went to make a cup of tea over, sent to the Luo’s front, also deliberately blowing, “Mother, first drink a cup of tea, calm the air before!”
Such a thoughtful look made Luo’s heart even more clogged! She is such a well-behaved daughter, why should she be locked up in a cold courtyard for purification ah …
