23 Marrying a Wife When Marrying Jiang Mingyue
In the Duke of Yue's mansion, Madam Cao had been walking back and for a long time under the dripping eaves. After listening to the sound of the call, she saw Zhao Lingyun walking in from outside the hanging flower gate in the courtyard. The gourd followed him, holding his hands high to hold an umbrella for Zhao Lingyun to cover the rain.
"Master," Madam Cao was about to walk down the steps.
"You just stand there, don't get wet in the rain," Zhao Lingyun waved his hand to Madam Cao.
"Quick," said the Madam Cao who stopped, turned her head and shouted to the servants in the room: "Master is back, hurry up and prepare hot water."
After half a stick of incense, Zhao Lingyun, who had taken a hot bath, sat in his bedroom, holding the hot tea that Madam Cao had made for him in his hand, and sipped it in one bite after another.
Madam Cao is Zhao Lingyun's wet nurse, and she has been by Zhao Lingyun's side for most of her life. After the old lady Wu in the mansion went, she took care of Zhao Lingyun's house, and even the key to Master Zhao's warehouse was placed in Madam Cao's hand. Sitting at Zhao Lingyun's lower right head, Madam Cao looked at Zhao Lingyun and whispered: "Master, I've been back today. Why did I come back now?"
Zhao Lingyun threw the white-shell porcelain teacup on the table, and most of the tea was poured out, and the ground soon became wet.
When Madam Cao saw her master's actions, she understood that the two of them had broken up again, and her master was still the one who was angry.
"My mother is worried about my marriage," Zhao Lingyun said, his words sounded good, but his tone was definitely not good. The two words of mockery were almost engraved on Master Zhao's forehead.
Madam Cao's hand, which was placed flat on her knees, suddenly grabbed it, and came again!
Zhao Lingyun grew up next to his grandmother, Old Lady Wu. Old Lady Wu made a marriage for his eldest grandson during his lifetime. The woman was the daughter of Zhang Ge Lao, the youngest grandson of the current dynasty, but before the two got married, the first Duke of Yue, Zhao Yan, passed away, and then Old Lady Wu passed away. Zhao Lingyun's filial piety was guarded for six years. In the end, Miss Zhang's family also died of illness. Therefore, Master Zhao has a title and is about to be in his early twenties, but he is still a bachelor.
"She really cares about me. When she was seriously ill, why didn't she say that I would marry her and cheer her up?" Zhao Lingyun murmured again.
This is another old lawsuit. Less than three years after the death of the Duke Zhao Yan, Mrs. Zheng fell seriously ill and the medicine was useless. Seeing that the person was no longer possible, Mrs. Zheng's family came forward to ask a fortune teller, saying that she had to let Zhao Anyang, the second master of the Zhao family, get married. Zhao Anyang, just like this, got married before her brother, and now she has both children.
But whether Mrs. Zheng was really sick and had no use in medicine and death, it was all a matter of different reasons, let alone the excuse of Zhao Anyang getting married and having fun, or it was indeed necessary.
"Madam, what happened back then?" Zhao Lingyun reiterated the old words.
"I don't know what happened back then," Madam Cao continued to ask three questions and didn't know.
"Hey, forget it, what's the use of pulling these things now?" Zhao Lingyun spread his hands, slid down, and then he collapsed on the chair.
The two windows of the bedroom were open now. The wind came in from outside the window, shaking the candlelight. The unpredictable halo cast a shadow under Zhao Lingyun's eyelashes and nose bridge, and immersing the beautiful eyebrows and lips into the darkness. If it weren't for the sitting posture that could not be on the table, Master Zhao's bone-combining appearance would be really worthy of praise.
"Which lady is the old lady looking for for her master this time?" Madam Cao asked in a low voice.
"The fourth girl from Grand Secretary Hu's family," said Zhao Lingyun.
Because she was worried about her master's marriage every day, the wealthy families in the Yin Dynasty and the ladies who were in the boudoir were listed as a book by Madam Cao. She quickly flipped through the account book in her mind, and Madam Cao quickly found Madam Hu Si.
Miss Hu Si, the legitimate daughter of the Hu family's parents' house, is impeccable in status and a good reputation, but the lady's biological mother was already dead. Madam Cao frowned. Miss Hu Si is famous for her good character, gentle and obedient. Such a girl must be good, but she is her mistress. As her mistress, she must be able to protect the wealth of the family and prevent the Duke of Yue from falling into the hands of the second master and his wife. Can an honest and obedient person do it? Obviously, she cannot do it. Miss Hu Si herself does not have enough combat power, and her mother's family behind her is the head of the stepmother. It is hard to say how much she can be her backing.
Madam Cao: "Has the master agreed?"
Zhao Lingyun curled his lips and smiled.
Madam Cao knew, but her master didn't nod.
"What does Madam think of this Miss Hu?" Zhao Lingyun asked Madam Cao.
Madam Cao: "I heard that Miss Hu Si is a gentle and obedient person."
Master Zhao didn't want to speak anymore. Huihui was like this. His old mother chose his wife for him, and his first requirement was to be obedient. For Master Zhao, the obedient girl was a wooden beauty. If you say something, she would move. The wooden beauty in the world would probably be found by his old mother.
"Is the old lady angry again?" Even though she knew it was nonsense, Madam Cao still asked.
Zhao Lingyun: "When will she not get angry?"
Madam Cao sighed, "If you have something to do, you have to tell the old lady well, otherwise you will make the old lady angry. If this matter is spread, the master will be told again."
"It's getting late, I'm going to go to bed," Zhao Lingyun didn't want to continue the conversation anymore. If he didn't speak, his old mother wouldn't be angry? His existence is what makes his old mother angry!
"What should I do about my master's marriage?" Madam Cao said worriedly.
Generally speaking, servants do not have the qualifications to worry about their master's marriage, but Madam Cao is Zhao Lingyun's nanny. After the death of Mrs. Wu, this person is Zhao Lingyun's closest person, so it is natural for her to worry about Zhao Lingyun. If even Madam Cao doesn't worry about Zhao Lingyun, then who else in the world would worry about Zhao Lingyun?
"What should I do," Zhao Lingyun was very impatient, "How can I know what to do?"
"I heard that my master was still fighting with someone on the street today?" Madam Cao asked again.
Speaking of today's fight, Zhao Lingyun thought of the two young men in the Jiang family, and then he thought of Jiang Mingyue, especially Miss Jiang Er was sitting in the carriage and smiling at him through the car window. Suddenly, an inspiration flashed in his mind, "Bang!" Master Zhao slapped the table suddenly.
Madam Cao was startled and said, "Master?"
"If I had to marry..."
"The master must have married a wife," Madam Cao interrupted Zhao Lingyun's words. If you don't marry, do you want to be a monk?
"I want to marry the second lady of the Jiang family," Zhao Lingyun said word by word.
Madam Cao was stunned for a moment, and immediately flipped through her small notebook in her mind. Then Madam Cao was confused and said to Zhao Lingyun: "Master, Marquis Anyuan is a military general."
Your grandmother found you a young lady from a scholarly family. If your mother couldn't get along with you, the girls she found for you were all from a scholarly family. If you marry a wife, you should marry a young lady from a civil minister, Qingliu family. This was decided by the old Duke of Yue when he was alive. Your mother dared not disobey it. Why would you stop yourself?
Madam Cao looked at Zhao Lingyun with an expression of expression that was wrong with you? Are you crazy?
"Do I have to go to the Anyuan Marquis Mansion by myself?" Zhao Lingyun didn't look at Madam Cao's expression at all and said to himself: "The old lady in Madam Anyuan Marquis Mansion has a good impression of me. I am also friends with the two young masters in the mansion. I think this is my fate with the second lady."
