Huahua frowned and stared at Yang Ruoqing with a suspicious look on her face.
"If that's the case, then why are you coming to my house? To watch the fun?"
Yang Ruoqing twitched her lips: "I've seen a lot of excitement, but your level of excitement is not enough."
"Then what are you here for?" Huahua asked again, his face full of anger.
Yang Ruoqing said: "I came here because your Aunt Ping'er asked me to come and persuade you. But I don't want to persuade you. I just want to tell you one thing. The man you want to marry doesn't have you in his heart. He married you in order to find a way to pick up what he likes." When your cousin comes in and you get married, what you will see is the two of them living together, you are an outsider, and it will be difficult for you to live in the Gu family..."
"Heh..." Huahua smiled.
"After talking so much, why don't you come here to persuade me?" She raised her hand and pushed her hair behind her ears.
"I've read a lot of books. I've seen a lot of dramas about privately setting up a lifelong backyard and a young man in trouble becoming the top scholar."
"Even if Gu Zhihua is in love with him right now, what does that mean?"
"What's the saying? What you can't get is always the best, and what you get is nothing more than that."
"Isn't she just a cousin? I can tolerate her. Besides, I'm ten years younger than her. Youth is my asset!"
"I'm young, I have a dowry, and the title of my real wife is there. This is my confidence. Besides, Gu Zhihua likes his cousin. That's a preconception. How can you be so sure that he won't change his feelings because of my arrival? Do you like me, Lian? I have confidence in myself. You are my family members anyway, so you should have more confidence in me. Stop saying things that make others’ ambitions destroy your own prestige!"
Yang Ruoqing was silent.
After a while, she said: "Huahua, I have seen too many dramas of wives and concubines of wealthy families fighting for favor in the past few years. You don't understand the cruelty in the backyard. A family like yours has no power and cannot support you, and you yourself She is a real wife who comes from a merchant family, and she has no confidence in her husband's family."
"If Gu Zhihua is just a civil servant in this life, if he passes the Jinshi examination, then your wife will be a bad wife and will be of no use to his career. He will try his best to replace you!"
Huahua sneered: "If a bad wife doesn't go to court, it will be even worse for his career if he divorces her. What's more, as long as I give birth to a son, my status will be stable."
"Let's go back and talk about the matter of getting a Jinshi. When Aunt Ping'er looked for me everywhere for a husband, and found Gu Lang, wasn't it because she was planning to marry him, and that he would probably go one step further in the future before we discussed marriage? Why, when we were discussing the marriage, we were expecting her to have a successful career, and now when we are canceling the engagement, we are afraid of her being in a successful career. Isn’t this contradictory? Tell Aunt Ping’er that you will bring in a lobbyist next time and discuss the terms in advance, so as not to let her down. I’m joking!”
Yang Ruoqing was speechless.
She thought of everything, but she didn't expect this. She was really using her own spear to attack her own shield, and Huahua caught her in a mistake. It was embarrassing!
The conversation could not continue, so Yang Ruoqing said to Huahua: "Your Aunt Ping'er has raised you for a while, and she is half of your mother. As long as you have some conscience, you should restrain your eldest lady's temper and don't hurt her heart. "
"As for the marriage, I won't talk about it anymore. You can figure it out yourself. Just remember that there is no regret medicine in this world!"
After saying these words, Yang Ruoqing turned around and left the room under Huahua's impatient eyes.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing coming out of the house, Ping'er hurried over to greet her, took a look at Huahua's house, and quickly pulled Yang Ruoqing into the east room opposite where she and Zhou Sheng were sleeping, closed the door and quickly asked about the situation.
Yang Ruoqing said truthfully: "Ping'er, I have tried my best. Not only has she become determined by the weight, she is also extremely confident that she can win Gu Zhihua's heart!"
Ping'er was astonished: "Why can't it still make sense? Which string did this kid have the wrong string on?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "She doesn't have the right strings. By the way, she even picked out our faults..."
After sending Yang Ruoqing out of the courtyard, Ping'er stood at the door of the courtyard, feeling confused and helpless in the cold wind.
The neighbor passed by the door and was a little surprised when he saw Ping'er standing at the door blowing the cold wind: "Your Huahua is getting married in two or three days, right? How are you getting ready?"
Ping'er came back to her senses. Facing the neighbor's kind inquiry, she could only force a smile: "That's it!"
Watching Ping'er turn around and go back to the house, the neighbors became even more surprised.
What's going on with Ping'er? A while ago, Huahua announced a happy marriage, and Ping'er was always smiling when she came in and out. Why does she look like an eggplant beaten by frost?
When Yang Ruoqing returned home, Luo Fengtang came over and asked, "How was your persuasion?"
Yang Ruoqing shrugged helplessly: "This girl who has studied for a while is really powerful when she argues. I can't even speak to her."
Luo Fengtang was stunned for a moment, "Does this mean that she still insists on marrying Gu Zhihua?"
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Well, you also said harsh words. If you don't let her marry her, she will die. There is no choice. If she wants to jump into the fire pit, then just jump into it!"
Luo Fengtang frowned. When the two of them walked side by side to the door of the bedroom, Luo Fengtang said again: "Actually, there is still a way to prevent this marriage..."
Yang Ruoqing stopped and looked up at him: "What method?"
Luo Fengtang said: "I will personally go to the Gu family."
Yang Ruoqing understands you. He wants to directly use his status as the Protector General and Zhongyong Marquis to coerce the Gu family into retreat.
"For someone with your status, going to a local Gu Ju family is undoubtedly like an elephant stepping on an ant." Yang Ruoqing analyzed.
"But we don't want to do this. That girl Huahua is nothing. If we do this, it will be thankless, and we will complain instead."
"If we are stabbed by someone with intentions, we go to the censor and say that you are bullying the small, and if you fan the flames and make other things, we may get into trouble. So, we can't do it, let her marry, and she will regret it in the future. when!"
Since Yang Ruoqing has made her attitude clear, Luo Fengtang is naturally on the same side as her.
Regarding Huahua, the couple stopped talking and started discussing other things.
Because today is already the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, the day to honor the ancestors, Luo Fengtang went to the front yard to discuss buying firecrackers with Blacksmith Luo.
By the way, I made a list and bought all the firecrackers, incense and candles I need for the Chinese New Year and the first month of the year.
As for Yang Ruoqing, she was busy cleaning every room in her house in the past few days before the New Year.
The bedding should be removed and washed as needed, so that the family can spend the New Year refreshingly.
In addition, I also have to help my aunt kill chickens, ducks and fish, make pickles, and preserve them properly so that they can be eaten from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
In addition, she also has to take care of her natal family next door.
Fuwa is still young, so Xiaohua is often unable to take care of her, and Da'an is still on the road and has not returned yet. All the busy work in the twelfth lunar month falls on Sun's shoulders. Yang Ruoqing cannot bear it and must go over to help her mother share the burden.
