Luo Changqing persuaded her daughter for the last time, but Luo Yaqing firmly believed that Zhou Wencun was the lover who would stay with her forever and play the piano and the piano for the rest of their lives.
Good words can't persuade a damn ghost. Although Luo Changqing didn't like Zhou Wencun, he couldn't win over his beloved daughter, so he had to implicitly agree to the marriage between the two families with King Shunyi.
With this agreement, the two families quickly carried out various steps before getting married. As the "mistress" of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xu Shichu naturally had to assist Luo Changqing in handling and completing the three books and six rites in this matter.
Xu Shichu said that he had no deep grudge against Luo Yaqing. The original owner accidentally ruined her relationship with Zhou Wencun and was resented by her. In this life, she could get her wish and marry the "good man" in her heart. ", but whether this life is good or bad has nothing to do with Xu Shichu.
When Zhou Wencun came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to collect the betrothal gifts, it was already early March of the following year. Luo Yaqing was already quite old, and the Shunyi Palace hoped to marry her back as soon as possible, so the wedding was scheduled for the end of the year.
On the day of Nazheng, the Prime Minister's Mansion was full of joy, and many people from Luo Yaqing's maternal ancestral home also came.
Luo Yaqing's maternal ancestral family is also a prominent civil servant family. Her grandfather has passed away. Her eldest uncle Liu Yuan is now a second-rank Guanwen Palace bachelor, and her second uncle Liu Ye is a third-rank imperial censor Zhongcheng.
The two uncles did a great job, and the rare thing was that they also loved the niece Luo Yaqing very much. Therefore, they brought their whole family to the door in person for such a big event as recruiting.
Luo Yaqing's uncles and cousins were naturally received by her father and brother, while Xu Shichu received her aunt, cousins and sister-in-law.
The female relatives of Wenchen Qingliu's family are naturally well behaved and polite. They treat Xu Shichu very kindly, without any intention of looking down or being hostile or defensive. They talk to Xu Shichu politely about various matters related to the marriage, without being judgmental or critical. dissatisfied.
After Xu Shichu discussed the marriage with the female relatives of Liu Mansion, he left Luo Yaqing's yard and did not disturb the relationship between other relatives.
"Qing'er, your stepmother is too good-looking, too beautiful... I wonder how her relationship with your father is?" Seeing that Xu Shichu had left, Luo Yaqing's aunt asked her niece directly, Luo Chang, without going out. Outsiders don't know that Qing and Xu Shichu are in name only.
Luo Yaqing said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, aunt, no matter how good-looking she is, what does it matter? What my father loves most is my mother. He has no feelings for her. We live in the same house and rarely see her.
She has no right to interfere with my brother and I's affairs. She only cares about the one-third of an acre of land in her own courtyard. She only comes out to support the situation when there are things in the house that she needs to intervene. "
Because she was asking about her family members, whom she had always been close to, Luo Yaqing did not conceal the fact that her father and stepmother were not getting along well. In fact, she felt condescending sympathy and pity for Xu Shichu, feeling that she could only marry Xinyou at such a young age. My husband is really pitiful.
The eldest aunt was not relieved after hearing her words: "Then Mrs. Xu looks like a fairy. Your father has no feelings for her now, but it will be difficult to tell in the future. As time goes by, even a dog will have feelings. Don't She is said to be a living beauty."
"Sister-in-law is right, Qing'er, you are still too naive. Even if a man has no feelings for a woman, it does not prevent him from falling in love with the woman's appearance. Your father has lived alone for so many years, and now he has a beautiful woman. Also known as an upright wife, who knows how long he can endure it?" The second aunt also echoed from the side.
"Impossible! She has been married for almost a year, and my father hasn't fallen in love with her yet! My father will never forget my mother!" Luo Yaqing retorted unconvincingly with her round eyes staring. He looked at his second aunt and tried to get her to change her story.
But the second aunt touched her head, sighed, and said, "Qing'er, you are going to get married in half a year. Your mother died young, and there are some things I can't teach you, so I'll leave it to you." Let me tell you.
Most men in this world like the new and hate the old. Their enthusiasm cannot last long and they can easily fall in love with someone else. So after you get married, don’t blindly put all your feelings on your husband without any reservation or defense. You have to be mentally prepared. It would be best if you can be deeply in love with your husband for the rest of your life, but if you can't, don't complain and complain, and learn to let go..."
"Second aunt! You're not right, right? Don't you have a very good relationship with your second uncle, eldest aunt, and eldest uncle? Neither your second uncle, eldest uncle, or eldest cousin have any concubines, let alone my father. The continuous string is all for me and my brother." Luo Yaqing frowned and said to her second aunt with disapproval.
"Silly boy! Although your eldest uncle and second uncle did not take any concubines, there were several maidservants in the house. For the sake of reputation, our Qingliu family cannot take in more concubines. It is as chaotic as the Xungui family...
Do you think your uncle and I have a good relationship? No matter how good the relationship is, if other women get involved, it can no longer be pure. Over time, it will become respectful and polite. Although there is still respect, it is not the same relationship after all. "
The uncle explained in his native language earnestly, looking at his niece with worried eyes, "You are so naive now, what will you do if you marry into Prince Shun's house in the future? King Shunyi has many concubines, what if Zhou Wencun follows suit? In this way, with your character that can't tolerate a grain of sand in your eyes, wouldn't it be possible to turn the world upside down?"
Luo Yaqing, however, didn't understand the worries of her elders at all. She was full of confidence and said with bright eyes: "Young Master Tuesday is not that kind of person. He said that he couldn't bear to see his father being so lustful and lustful. How could it be possible in the future?" Do you do that to break my heart?”
After listening to her words, the eldest aunt and the second aunt looked at each other. The eldest aunt could only smile bitterly and said: "I hope so. If he can't be devoted to you, then don't be afraid. After all, you still have your father and Brother, if it doesn’t work, your eldest uncle and second uncle will still support you.”
Luo Yaqing said proudly: "That's natural!"
The second aunt suddenly remembered and asked: "Who brought up this marriage first? Logically speaking, Qing'er, your father should not agree to let you marry into such a family. Your father and our Liu family are both Qingliu, why did you agree? You married into a noble family. Although it is the palace of Prince Shunyi, based on your current character, the youngest son of Prince Shunyi is actually not worthy of you."
"Yes, is there someone who is causing trouble here? Is it your stepmother?" My aunt suddenly started to speculate, "Is it your father that she hinted at?"
Although Luo Yaqing had no feelings for Xu Shichu, she didn't want her to take the blame. She was also afraid that the two aunts would disturb the marriage without getting angry, so she didn't care about being shy and said quickly: "No, I personally agreed to this marriage. My father didn’t want to agree at first, but it was me who said that I fell in love with Mr. Tuesday, and that’s why..."
