old lady in red

Ruhai hurriedly apologized to Jia She and Jia Zheng: "Forgive me, two brothers-in-law. My mother has been bedridden for many years and often gets confused. It's because I didn't think carefully. I thought that my father-in-law was about to leave, so I came here with my mother to pay homage. , Clinker is like this, forgive me!"

Jia She and Jia Zheng didn't know that Ru Hai was splint gas, although he was annoyed in his heart, he didn't make it difficult for Ru Hai: "Since my aunt is sick, go back and ask the imperial doctor to treat her."

When Ruhai rushed to the backyard, his nanny was waiting in the passageway, and she threw him another thunder: "Madam mentioned the cousin of the concubine's house!"

When Ru Hai heard this, her head grew dizzy.

His mother only said to take concubines for him before, but he couldn't dissuade them, thinking that taking a few girls was harmless, at worst he just ignored them.

Unexpectedly, the mother wanted to accept the cousin of the aunt's family to have a child.

There was a big fuss about this.

If it gets out, what face will he have in the future as a herdsman, educating the people?

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng's face became angry when he heard the words.

It is a common practice for men from rich families to put maids in the house before they get married. If they accidentally produce a child, they will send it to the countryside for a few years and then pick it up again.

Unexpectedly, the people Lin's mother released were actually relatives of a good family.

This is the second wife of a noble concubine, who has to write a marriage letter, and the regular wife can't sell it casually.

Deceiving too much!

No matter how bad the Rong Mansion is, the daughter can't bear this grievance.

Ruhai didn't care to appease Brother Jiashe, so he entered the inner hall in a gust of wind, and bowed to Shimei when he met him: "My mother is not recovering from illness, and she talks nonsense. If there is any impoliteness, please ask mother-in-law to see my mother who is still ill for a long time. Forgive me. My son-in-law will take my mother back. I will come back later to make amends to my mother-in-law!"

Shi Mei was already very bored and was about to explode.At this time, Wang Zai Ruhai remained silent.

Ru Hai got Shi Mei's tacit consent, turned around and bowed to her mother: "Mother, my son suddenly remembered an important matter that my teacher entrusted to my son. Mother-in-law has to pack up her luggage, and everything is complicated. Let's say goodbye now."

Lin's mother said: "This child, why is he so forgetful, I didn't finish my sentence..."

Shi Mei nodded: "That's very true, since it's here, let's finish it."

Lin's mother was in the middle of her heart when she heard the words, and regardless of Ruhai's repeated interruption, she said: "So I'll just say it straight, the Xiuzhi of my sister's family I just mentioned is the marriage we discussed before Hai'er went to Beijing for the exam, and we agreed." After entering Haier High School, the two families settled down.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty actually intervened.

The in-laws have a three-year filial piety period, and the marriage is delayed...

I don't know if my body can last three years.Today, Xiuzhi is determined not to marry again.So I thought, simply taking Xiuzhi as a side room for Haier, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds! "

Shi Mei's face is covered with frost, this is even more hateful than Re Xiao's marriage.

"The Lin family is going to marry another one? I really can't do anything about it. Since my mother-in-law has such a heart, why don't we pass the sign into the palace and ask His Majesty to withdraw the marriage decree. From then on, the marriage of a man and a woman has nothing to do with it!"

Mother Lin was ashamed and angry when she heard the words.

She is a widow, and the Lin family has no favor for a long time, so how can she be qualified to hand over the sign?

Damn Shi Shi, this is deliberately humiliating her!

She was just taking a concubine for her son first, yet Shi Shi wanted to regret the marriage!

Is it a child's play for His Majesty to bestow marriage?

Shi Shi is too self righteous!

Lin's mother became angry with embarrassment: "What does my mother-in-law mean? You agreed to get married in August this year, and you will be mourning at home. It is understandable to postpone the wedding. Do you want my son to keep mourning for three years?"

Jia Fu also deserves it?

Do you think it was when the old man was in power?

Ruhai regretted his heart so much, he underestimated his mother's pleasure.

I just bowed and bowed, wishing to lower my head to the ground: "Mother-in-law, forgive me, my mother is ill and confused, my son-in-law will take my mother home and invite the imperial physician."

Shi Mei snorted coldly: "Master Tanhua knows whether Lingtang is confused or not.

No matter how poor the Rong Mansion is, it can't stand by and watch others rape its own girl and remain indifferent.

Mrs. Lin wants to marry another noble family, and we will not stop her.

Tomorrow at Maozheng, please also invite Master Tanhua to bring Lingtang into the palace to face the Holy Spirit, and ask the Holy Spirit to dissolve the marriage contract between the two families. "

Mother Lin was completely dumbfounded at this moment, she was talking about taking a concubine, why did she ever say marry another high family?

The four generations of the Lin family are single-handed. According to folk customs, the ancestors of the Lin family have two older brothers who are first-line relatives.For the sake of heirs, Ruhai married two wives at the same time, which did not violate the court's laws and family rules.

She read poetry and books when she was young, and she knows that there are some things that can be done but cannot be said.

However, this requires prior consent from the in-laws.

Such a self-talking, self-righteous, self-righteous, self-righteous, and looting monster like Lin Mu is truly rare in a century.

Merchants and merchants marry ordinary wives, and they can't do this!

Ru Hai knew how wrong it was to talk too much at this moment, the only way was to quickly take her mother away from Jia's mansion, and then try to make up for it.

There is one thing Ruhai understands very well, that is, this matter must not be brought before the Holy Master.

Otherwise, not to mention that he has no face and cannot be an official, it will be difficult to be a human being!

Ruhai ordered the nanny and the girl to help her mother into the Lin family's carriage by force.

Ru Hai turned back to apologize to Shi Mei: "Mother-in-law forgive me, everything depends on the son-in-law. The son-in-law will definitely give his mother-in-law an explanation later.

I also ask my mother-in-law to believe that my mother may be a bit biased and has no intention of retiring the engagement.What my mother said about taking a concubine and having a child was my mother's arbitrariness. The son-in-law dared to swear by his future, and never had such intentions!

It is my son-in-law's blessing to be able to marry Ling Qianjin as his wife, and it is really a blessing for three lives!

Also ask the mother-in-law to believe in the sincerity of the son-in-law! "

Of course Shi Mei knew that the imperial decree bestowed a marriage with golden words!

This is not only a marriage contract between the two families, but also the dignity of the emperor!

How can it be easily lifted?

However, since Mother Lin has shown her claws, she can't be timid.

Or simply tear up your face and make a fuss, and the two families will be separated from each other.

Either Lin's mother came to the door to make amends and obediently presented the family treasure.

In short, Shi Mei will never spare her if she doesn't make her look ashamed!

Shi Mei is sharpening her sword here, ready to do a big job.

Ru Hai didn't give Shi Mei a chance to play.

After noon that day, Du Zongyuan and his wife, Ruhai's benefactor, minister of rites and Guozijian Jijiu, both came to Tiekan Temple.

Du Zongyuan and his wife made a clear statement: Lin's mother made a big mistake, and it is absolutely not advisable to take a concubine and have children.

Mrs. Du said: "Our lord was furious when we heard the news, and we wanted to come to the door to reprimand, firstly, our status was wrong, and secondly, we really couldn't bear it.

The ancestors of our Du family were family friends with the Lin family, and Mrs. Lin was really miserable when she was young.

Husband died young, and the clan wished to swallow his mother and child alive.

She has a slightly weaker temper, and she is afraid that she will not survive.

However, Ruhai has already stated that taking a concubine is definitely not acceptable. Ruhai also asked me to tell you, Madam, that he promises that unless he has no children at forty, he will never take a concubine! "

Hearing this, Shi Mei was very moved: "Tan Hua Lang is a good guy."

Mrs. Du and You Rongyan: "Miss Min from your family is also very good.

When His Majesty bestowed the marriage, our husband and wife were really happy.

It's not that I praised her face to face, Miss Min is both talented and beautiful, and she is one of the best talented women in Kyoto.

Speaking of it, it was the blessing of this silly boy like Ru Hai, that he was lucky enough to be favored by Ling and his wife. "

The minister of the Ministry of Rites also serves as the Imperial College Jijiu, no matter what his identity is, he is always the object of people's scrambling to cling to.

She smiled at her face, Shi Mei couldn't be cold-faced.

Shi Mei bowed her body and thanked her: "Ma'am, Miao Zan, Min'er is a fluffy girl, it's her blessing that you like her!"

Mrs. Du smiled: "Madam is too humble to resign. The talents and demeanor of the four girls in your house are really ideal candidates for daughter-in-law in the hearts of ladies."

Shi Mei sighed: "I understand the reason for Mrs. Du's visit. Logically, you are Ruhai's mistress, and also the husband's ice matchmaker. I firmly believe in your words. Tanhualang's character and talent are impeccable. It's a pity that Lin Madam has another suitable candidate for her daughter-in-law. This is also because we, Min'er, have such a small fortune that we cannot afford such a big fortune.

As the saying goes, twisted melons are not sweet, and bondage cannot make a husband and wife!

Madam's kindness, we can only live up to it..."

Seeing that Jia Mu's attitude softened, Mrs. Du thought that the matter of reconciliation was a sure thing, but she changed the subject and still wanted to withdraw from the marriage.

Madam Du was surprised.

Mother Lin just took a concubine for her son, although it was too much, it was not a serious crime.

Now that everything has vanished, why is Mother Jia still being hypocritical?

Logically, this marriage was requested by the Rong Mansion, it shouldn't be.

Is there something else hidden in it?

Mrs. Du is also a straightforward person, so she asked: "I don't think Madam is a crooked person. Although Mother Lin is a bit pretentious, now that our husband and wife have come forward to guarantee that there will be no obstacles to the marriage, why is Madam doing this?"

Shi Mei sighed, but stopped talking.

Mrs. Du said: "Getting married is a good thing that has been achieved for a hundred years, and there is no room for ambiguity. If Madam has something to say, please speak face to face. If the mistakes of the Lin family are difficult to make up for, our husband and wife will not force others to make things difficult."

Shi Mei hurriedly got up and said annoyed: "Ma'am misunderstood. I also have a grandson, how can I not know what is good or bad? Ma'am has said so much, I will not hide it anymore."

Shi Mei winked as she spoke.

Mrs. Zhang took out the prepared small gift list.

Shi Mei handed it to Mrs. Du: "Mrs. should remember this gift list. At the beginning, you accompanied Mrs. Lin to the door to hire. At that time, Tanhualang was still ill and did not come in person. I don't know if Tanhualang knows that Lin's family hired you. Rules. Why don’t you invite Tanhualang, and we’ll discuss it face to face?”

Madam Du's complexion changed: "Is there anything wrong with this dowry?"

Shi Mei sighed: "At the beginning when His Majesty bestowed the marriage, Master Du is not only the servant of the Ministry of Rites, but also Master Ruhai. We are very grateful for your husband and wife as ice matchmakers.

My eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, was very surprised when she saw the dowry gift that day. She said that the Lin family has always engaged clan wives, and the dowry gift has its own rules.

At that time, I was only concerned about being happy, thinking that His Majesty would bestow the marriage, and the Lin family would never make mistakes in this matter, so I didn't care.

Now that I learned that the Lin family had already negotiated a marriage in their hometown, I suddenly realized that Mrs. Lin had never agreed with this marriage, and never regarded us Min'er as a daughter-in-law! "

Mrs. Du was shocked: "How do you say that?"
