Chapter 246 ambiguous
The old lady saw that Aunt Shen and Wan Niang were talking and laughing. The atmosphere was very harmonious, and she was also very happy. She said with a faint smile, "That's right. Since we are a family, why do we talk about those two families? As the old saying goes, family and everything is prosperous. Both of you are meritorious officials in the house, and you have worked hard on weekdays.
Wan Niang leaned beside the old lady and said with a smile, "Where did the hard work come from? It is also a blessing for my concubine to relieve the worries of the old lady and the master.
If it is put in the past, the old lady's words will definitely make Aunt Shen angry again, but now she can see it clearly and will no longer make those useless little temperaments.
As soon as Wan Niang finished speaking, Aunt Shen also said with a faint smile, "What my sister said is that what the old lady said is out of the ordinary. This is our job. What's the hard work? As soon as the New Year has passed, it will be another year. The Lantern Festival is approaching. What does the old lady plan?
This is the first time in more than a decade that the old lady has spent the Lantern Festival in Taihe County. In the past, when she was in the capital, she just stayed in the house or took a walk in the yard. As for the juniors, they go out to see the lanterns happily. When the juniors return in the evening, they will tell her about the interesting things about the lantern party.
The old lady was a little unclear about the customs of Taihe County, so she looked at Aunt Shen and asked, "How did you live in the house in the past?"
Aunt Shen smiled and said, "I didn't do anything in the past. If the master had a party, I might go with him, and the younger generation would go out to see the lanterns."
The old lady nodded and said, "This is the same as in the capital, and it's not interesting."
Aunt Shen smiled faintly and said, "Madam, it has been some days since you returned to Taihe County. Haven't you been to Xingguo Temple in the western suburbs? The old lady hasn't stayed in Taihe County for a long time. I'm afraid she doesn't know that the Bodhisattva of Xingguo Temple is the most effective. Every auspicious day, the square of Xingguo Temple is crowded and very lively.
At the age of the old lady, she usually has nothing to do, so she only has to eat fasting and recite Buddhism. Hearing Aunt Shen say this, she gradually became a little moved.
"Then go to Xingguo Temple to worship the Bodhisattva?" The old lady said questioningly.
Aunt Shen smiled and said, "I'm going to go that day. Last year, Hao's house was also a good life. This new year has arrived. I'm going to fulfill my wish. By the way, I pray that everything will go well this year and pray for the Bodhisattva to bless Hao's house."
The old lady pondered for a while and said softly, "Well, then I'll go with you. There's nothing to do."
I don't know what happened when I thought of it. The light in Wan Niang's eyes flashed, and she was obviously moved.
But Hao Ling said that he was told by Ding Niaozi to inquire about Xu Jie's thoughts and see what he thought of Hao Lingzhu. Hao Lingxun had a noon and invited Xujie chu to have a meal. The two exchanged one by one from family and country affairs to small things in the house.
At the end, Hao Ling put down her glass, looked at Xu Jie, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Xu, you must also know why your government will let you come to Taihe County with my ancestors for the Spring Festival, right?"
Xu Jie smiled and nodded slowly, "Of course I know."
Hao Ling did not beat around the bush and asked bluntly, "What do you think?"
Xu Jie raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Hao Ling in meditation, but did not answer a word.
When he was young, he finally shook his head gently, smiled and said, "Marriage should follow the orders of my parents. Even if I have an idea? Brother Hao, don't worry. When I return to the capital this time, I will tell my father and mother what they mean.
Xu Jie is an escape from Hao Ling's question. From his own point of view, he actually doesn't know what Hao Ling's position is, so he doesn't know how to answer.
From Hao Ling's point of view, Hao Lingzhu is Hao Ling's own sister. This question is likely to be asked on behalf of his own sister and cares about his sister's marriage. However, from the overall situation of Hao Fu, Hao Ling may be concerned about the marriage between Xu and Hao Fu, and cares about the ensuing benefits!
All this is not what he can decide at present. He came to Taihe County with Mrs. Hao. In name, he came to celebrate Mrs. Hao's birthday. He secretly came to see what the eldest lady of Hao Fu's second room looked like. In fact, the real reason was to explore Hao Fu's influence in Taihe County! Explore the real strength of Hao Fu!
Although Haofu's second house is not in the capital, Haofu's business is so big that it naturally has nothing to do with everywhere. Maybe it can help Xufu in some places! This is exactly what Xu Jie needs now.
Everything he saw in Taihe County needs to be reported to Master Xu one by one after returning to the capital, and then wait for Master Xu's arrangement.
Hao Ling's eyebrows moved slightly and soon returned to normal. He was not very satisfied with Xu Jie's reply. However, Xu Jie is a guest, which does not prevent them from continuing to talk happily.
After returning to the room at night, Hao Ling told Ding Yizi about her conversation with Xu Jie and said, "In my opinion, Xu Jie is not a responsible person. If Lingzhu married him, I'm afraid it's not good."
Hao Lingzhu is Hao Ling's own sister. Ding Naizi, a sister-in-law, dares not say anything more about her marriage. Otherwise, if Hao Lingzhu has a bad life in the future, won't she become a sinner?
"Then how do you think I should return to Lingzhu?" Ding Page asked Hao Ling with a sad face. What the two said was so ambiguous, but it was difficult for her to reply to Hao Lingzhu.
"You just don't say anything. Can Lingzhu still chase you? After the Lantern Festival, Mr. Xu returns to the capital, and there should be a reply. It's not a long time. It's okay to wait.
Ding Yizi nodding and said, "Yes, otherwise it will be wrong and make Lingzhu sad again."
The husband and wife have reached a consensus on Hao Lingzhu's marriage. Since Xu Jie's words are so unclear, they won't say anything for the time being. If Hao Lingzhu really asks, it will be perfunctory for the time being. I think Hao Lingzhu should also understand what it means.
As long as she doesn't expect too much for this marriage, she won't be so sad at that time.
In the past few days, Haofu is surprisingly quiet and happy. Obviously, the atmosphere is not harmonious, but it always makes people feel bad.
Aunt Shen is so obedient and talkative now. She has a smile on her face all the time. She is kind to everyone, as if she is a completely different person.
Not only Ding Niazi, but also Hao Lingwei wondered how her mother had changed.
