After Meng Ying finished explaining, Hongying said in a regretful tone: "Wouldn't the girl suffer from being a fake couple? Furthermore, General Tao is powerful and domineering, and he is good-looking. He is not a hundred times better than Mr. Luo, so why did the girl take it for herself?
Bitter?"
After hearing this, Meng Ying put on her clothes and lay down on the bed, saying: "I'm not suffering for myself, this is called self-preservation. After all, money is an external thing. After the present, let's think about it in the long run."
By the way, it was rare for Tao Huansheng to make Meng Ying feel defeated, so he felt happy. He strode to the banquet living room.
There are more than a dozen tables of wine in the hall, and now they are all packed.
Sitting at the head of the table are Tao Huansheng, the governor of Shangfeng Wei Hongwei, and Prince Gong, and the rest are his fellow soldiers.
Tao Huansheng toasted Wei Hong and said: "The governor has taken the time to come, and the Tao Mansion is full of glory. I would like to pay tribute to you first."
Governor Wei said: "You and I don't have to be like this. I hope that you and your wife will be harmonious and harmonious in the future, so that your Tao family can flourish as soon as possible."
Tao Huansheng thanked Prince Gong and said to Prince Gong, "Thank you very much, Princess, for your help today. Please accept Tao Mou's bow." He bowed when making gestures.
Prince Gong hurriedly stood up and helped him, saying: "General Tao, please don't come out. You are the benefactor of my palace. My father often said that if the general hadn't rescued you, I might have fallen into the hands of the Tatars that day."
"Your Majesty's words are serious. Your Majesty is a lucky person. I just happened to arrive there."
The two chatted easily
Among the guests, a burly captain whispered: "I didn't expect the general to get married so quickly. Maybe there will be a little General Tao next year."
Another person asked: "I wonder how the general and his wife met?"
Another person replied: "I heard from General Tao's deputy general Dong Sheng that the general and his wife were from the old days, when they made a verbal engagement with a silver hairpin as a token."
"So the two of them were childhood sweethearts, and now they are finally married, so congratulations!"
Everyone talks to each other, drinking, giving orders, drinking and talking, no matter what.
Wei Hong looked at Tao Huansheng's tall figure, walking around the wine table to toast, and felt quite unhappy. If his wife hadn't interfered with it, he might have been his son-in-law. Wei Hong felt melancholy in his heart, and after a few glasses of wine, he felt a little tipsy.
I was the first to leave.
Seeing that the coach was gone, everyone drank more casually, eating meat in big mouths, drinking from big bowls, and the sound of giving orders could not be heard.
Wei Hong walked to the door and did not forget to tell his attendants, "Today is a good day for General Tao. Go and keep an eye on it. Don't let these guys miss the time to enter the bridal chamber." According to the rules, it's time to pass.
At that time, the groom was not allowed to enter the new house.
Don’t mention that I have gone with my order.
Wei Hong rode his horse all the way into the Changxing Marquis Mansion.
When she heard that her husband was back, Mrs. Ma from Changxing City hurriedly threw on her clothes to greet her.
"Master Hou is back!"
What was surprising was that Lord Wei frowned and said: "It's more revealing, Madam, please rest early."
In front of so many people, Ma was upset by her husband's cold tone.
When the Marquis of Wei saw his wife's eyes red, he sighed and said, "I'm very drunk, so I'm afraid I'll offend you, so don't think too much about it."
Ma's expression became clearer at this moment, and he said to the maid next to him: "Aman, hurry up and get the hangover soup, and Asu, go get the hot water, and wash the Marquis..."
Wei Hong was already in a bad mood. Seeing so many people coming and going, he felt even more irritated. He frowned and said, "Don't bother me, I'm going to the study!"
"Master Hou, I have something to discuss with you."
After hearing this, Wei Hong stopped his feet again, turned around and sat on the main seat, and said impatiently: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Today, my natal nephew is here. He is my eldest brother's third son. His nickname is Brother Suo. When he was young, the Marquis even praised him for his cleverness."
Others paid it back, but he knew that his wife and nephew were clever and clever when they were young, but as they got older, they neglected their studies and spent all their time fighting cocks and running dogs.
"Well, I'm here and I'll stay for a few days. It's a huge Marquis Mansion. It's all arranged by Madam." After saying that, Wei Hong wanted to get up.
"Master Hou, Yun'er is not young anymore. I think we have a very good relationship with his cousin. I don't think it's better than..."
Hearing this, Wei Hong slammed the table hard, his eyes widened, and said: "You are still a mother, and you want to marry your daughter to that ignorant Zhuzi! You want to push Yun'er into the pit of fire.
?"
Listening to these heart-wrenching words, Mr. Ma burst into tears and said: "What are you saying, Lord Marquis? Why is Brother Suo so incompetent? Isn't my mother's family better than that general of yours who came from a bandit!" p>
Speaking of "bandit general", Wei Hong was even more angry and said: "'bandit general'? That is General Pingxi, who was appointed by the emperor. Because of your refusal in every possible way, you missed out on a good son-in-law. Today I have married a wife."
I really shouldn’t have listened to you, a woman, when I started a family!”
"No matter how good he is, I will never marry my daughter to a military commander and live a life of fear."
"A woman's view!"
......
The masters quarreled, the servants remained silent, and in the end even Mrs. Wei was alarmed.
After a while, I saw Mrs. Tai walking in in a hurry. When I looked up, my son was sitting on the chair angrily, while my daughter-in-law was crying beside her.
"Oh, I said, you two, your children and grandchildren are so old, you still quarrel like other young couples, you are not embarrassed!"
As soon as he saw his mother coming, Wei Hong quickly stood up to greet her.
Ma also quickly wiped her tears and came over to help her mother-in-law.
Mrs. Wei always knew her son's temperament and knew that if nothing serious happened, her son would not lose such a temper. So she advised Mr. Ma and said: "My dears, please go back and rest first. I have something to say to the boss."
When her mother-in-law spoke, Mrs. Ma had to retreat with tears in her eyes.
"Tell me, why did you go out to have a wedding banquet and then you went crazy when you came back? If you don't tell me why, I won't let you go today." The screen turned away, and Mrs. Wei scolded her.
Wei Hong knew that his mother was pretending to be confused, but she was a person who understood in her heart. She did not dare to hide it, and said: "Mother, the groom who got married today is his son's most capable subordinate. He is both civilized and military, and has a handsome appearance. I originally wanted to marry Yun'er."
She was promised to be betrothed to him, but the Ma family refused in every possible way, so she missed this good marriage."
When the wife heard this, she burst out laughing and said, "What do I mean? It turns out that you saw someone marrying a daughter-in-law, and you feel sour and feel that you have missed a good son-in-law."
Wei Hong sighed and said: "My mother doesn't know something. My surname is Tao Huansheng. I come from Tingchuan. I just turned weak this year. I was originally from a rough background. Four years ago, I captured Toto Timur's eldest son for investment.
Name, come and join the army.
The war was stalemate at that time, and the Tatars fought bravely. Tao Huansheng and his three brothers fought bravely, and more importantly, they were good at using their resourcefulness. After two years here, they made many military exploits.
When chasing the Tatar King Zuoxian, he went deep into the desert and hid in the yellow sand for several days. Not only did he capture the enemy leader in one fell swoop, he also rescued Prince Gong who was shot and wounded by the enemy. Even the emperor praised him endlessly."
When the lady heard this, she sat up straight, stopped twisting the beads in her hand, and said, "Is everything you said true?"
"Son, everything is true. I originally planned to let my mother have a good look at each other on my mother's birthday next month when all the guests are paying their respects. Who would have thought that this boy would get married so soon, and that the woman is also a businessman with a not-so-reputable reputation?
Girl. It's such a pity. If there is a capable Yue family, I dare say that this boy will have a bright future!" After saying this, Wei Hong shook his head frequently, feeling that Tao Huansheng was not worth it.
The lady twisted the Buddhist beads again and said: "That means she and I are not destined to be together. Marriage also depends on cause and effect and cannot be forced. If you cherish your subordinates, you can give him some support in the future. It is not necessary."
Not a son-in-law.
Furthermore, I know the merchant girl you mentioned. She is very beautiful. She used to be very close to the granddaughter of Mrs. Xiao, who became an official. She also often visited the Anding Marquis Mansion. She was good at women's red and good calligraphy.
She is very popular with Mrs. Marquis Lao Anding. The Queen Mother ordered this woman to get married within three days. General Tao married him, which can be regarded as saving her from misery."
"It is always inappropriate for a woman who has left the family to appear in public."
The wife interrupted and said: "We can't control other people's affairs. Let's talk about our own family first. Although your wife is a confused person, she loves her daughter sincerely. If she marries into a military general's family, she will be in constant fear all day long, hoping that he will have a good future.
Because of his fame and fame, and because he is afraid that he will lose his life on the battlefield, it doesn’t matter if we don’t get married.”
"But Brother Suo..."
The madam waved her hand and said: "Don't worry, Brother Suo must not do it. The daughter of our prince's family has not yet reached the point of getting married. It is late at night and I am tired."
"Mother, I will take you back."
"No need, you also drank a lot, take a rest early." Madam Mrs. waved her hand, and Aunt Xu next to her hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
The Marquis of Wei still sent his mother to the gate of the courtyard. When he saw servants holding lanterns and supporting her from left to right, he turned around with confidence.
It is said that Mrs. Wei arrived at her Changqing Courtyard, sat on the Arhat bed, slapped the table, and cursed bitterly: "This Ma family is so short-sighted!"
Aunt Xu asked doubtfully: "Madam, didn't you just say that it is not appropriate to get married in a military general's family?"
"I was trying to reassure the Marquis. It's hard to find such a person even with a lantern. Ma is so ungrateful. She shouldn't have listened to the old Marquis' words about getting married on the fingertips and let her in. Today's grandchildren
She also brought up a small family, and everyone was selfish and domineering."
"Fifth girl, although she is a bit squeamish, she still knows etiquette." Aunt Xu searched for suitable words to praise Wei Yun'er.
"Huh, you don't need to put gold on her face. I don't know what kind of virtue she has. She just has a good skin. She is narrow-minded and vindictive. She will get whatever she wants by any means. That hairpin from last year,
I didn't know that she had stolen it from Fourth Girl, and she threatened Fourth Girl not to tell anyone. Fourth Girl is also a coward, and she didn't even dare to tell me when I asked her."
"The fourth girl is a concubine, and Aunt Liu is in the hands of the madam, so she is just a trap."
"What kind of rat-killing weapon is this? What is that Ma family? A young lady from the Marquis Mansion who doesn't have this kind of thinking and means, how can she gain a foothold in her husband's family when she gets married in the future?"
"The girls are still young. If Mrs. Tai can give her more advice and have the backing of the Marquis, her husband's family will not look down upon her after we get married." Aunt Xu quickly made a cup of tea to calm Mrs. Tai.
"Flowers don't bloom for a hundred days, and people don't stay good for a hundred days. Nowadays, the situation in the court is changing, and the nobles in the palace are becoming more and more confused."
"Shh!" Nanny Xu made a gesture of silence and gestured to the roof with her hand.
The madam hit Nanny Xu with a fan and said, "What are you afraid of? Now that the Marquis is back, no matter how long his royal robes and guards are, he will not dare to enter the Marquis's house now."
Aunt Xu advised, "It's better to be careful. If someone gets the handle, you'll have to spend some time talking."
"In today's world, you have to leave half of what you say at home. Then the Queen Mother issued a decree and asked an orphan girl to get married in three days. What's the difference between this and forcing someone to die?
It’s so shameful that she was in a coma, but she actually caused us to miss a good grandson-in-law!”
"As the saying goes, after ten years of cultivation, we cross the same boat, and after a hundred years of cultivation, we sleep together, but the fate has not come yet." Nanny Xu advised the wife while cutting her hair.
"I'm old and can't live for a few more days. I hope that one day, mother and daughter will not regret it."
