Chapter 272 Test One Two
It was not easy for Hao Lingyuan to ask directly about the bride price, so he turned around and asked the old lady why she didn't pick up Gu Yun for a short period of time. If there is really a bride price, the old lady will mention it. If not, she will say the specific reason, right? Or is it inconvenient to come again?
When the old lady heard this, she thought that Hao Ling missed Gu Yun. She was happy and said secretly: It turned out that Hao Ling said that she didn't want to take a concubine again just to deceive Ding's page, right? If he really doesn't care about Yun'er, why do he still ask about Yun'er now?
She immediately smiled and thought that she had peeped through Hao Ling's mind and said, "For Yun'er, I have other arrangements. It's not convenient for her to continue to live in our house for the time being, so I let her go home first. It's not too late to call her over when the matter is done."
Hao Ling asked curiously, "What can Yun'er's cousin do when she goes back this February?"
Originally, Hao Ling's question was too strange, but it was a pity that the old lady was thinking about making Gu Yun become her granddaughter-in-law and did not pay attention to Hao Ling's thoughts.
The old lady raised her eyebrows slightly, deliberately winking at Hao Ling, and said with a smile, "Ling'er, don't worry, when this matter is done, Yun'er will stay in our house as long as she wants in the future. Even if she lives for a lifetime, no one will dare to say that she is not!"
Hao Ling was stunned, but he didn't show anything on his face. Is it true that as the page said, his ancestors were preparing for a job?
Hao Ling frowned slightly and asked puzzledly, "Ancestor, even if Yun'er is our relative, she always wants to get married. How can she live in our house all the time? I have no problem with my cousin. She is welcome to come whenever she comes, but will her future husband agree?"
"Then why don't we directly turn Yun'er into our own family? Isn't it just that no one will talk to her?"
Hao Ling frowned more tightly in an instant and asked tentatively, "What does the ancestor mean?"
The old lady smiled happily and said, "Ling'er, since you took the initiative to ask about Yun'er today, it shows that you are not interested in Yun'er at all. Well, I'm thinking that Yuner is such a good girl. If you don't take the initiative, I'm afraid she will really become someone else's daughter-in-law. The so-called fat water does not flow to the fields of outsiders. Why can't a good girl like Yuner become a member of my Hao family? Ling Er, this grandma will make a decision for you! I'll ask someone to take care of the family for the bride price, and let Yun'er become your daughter-in-law!"
Hao Lingteng stood up from the chair with a sound and could no longer sit there.
"Ancestor, how can you have such an idea?"
The old lady was shocked by Hao Ling's sudden action and said in astonishment, "Ling Er, what are you doing? Don't you want Yuner to be the person in your room?"
Hao Ling shook his head resolutely, "If you go back to your ancestors, Hao Ling has never thought of becoming someone my cousin. I haven't thought about it before, and I won't think about it in the future!"
Hao Ling's tone and expression were too firm, and the old lady couldn't help but doubt his sudden intention to find her.
"Ling Er, tell me the truth, you should have been busy in the shop. Why did you suddenly come to see your grandmother and me?"
Hao Ling said solemnly, "Ancestor, the grandson really came to visit the ancestor because he was free today. By the way, he just asked Yun's cousin about it. There is no other meaning."
The old lady snorted coldly, "Is that true?"
"Real seriously!"
The old lady shook his eyes impatiently and waved her hand and said, "Oi, it's not early at this time. You'd better go back to the shop and do things first. I have my own opinion on my side, and you don't need to worry about it!"
Don't you need him to worry? Did Gu Yun come to tell him that he had helped him marry another daughter-in-law?
Although Hao Ling is a very talkative person and will not easily have any conflicts with others, it does not mean that others will help him make any decision.
Hao Ling looked at the old lady with a deep face, with a solemn face and said with a serious face, "Ancestor, Sun'er knows that you are a kind heart, but Sun'er's meaning has been clearly understood before. Sun'er only wants to have a wife in this life. No matter how good others are, Sun'er will not disdain to look at it again! If the ancestors insist on connecting Yun'er's cousin to Hao's house, then don't blame the grandson for noting his cousin!"
The ancestors stayed in the capital for many years and missed more than ten years with Hao Ling. She thought she was the biggest elder in the family. No matter what decision she made, the younger generation should unconditionally obey her orders. However, now Hao Ling is standing in front of her and righteously rejecting her good intentions.
The old lady couldn't help but be angry and asked angrily, "Ling'er, why is your heart so dead? What's good about that page? She is just a woman who can only sell tofu. She doesn't even deserve to carry shoes for Yun'er. How can she become the young lady of Haofu? Let me tell you, I only like Yun'er, and only Yun'er is matched with the young lady of Haofu! Only she can afford this reputation!"
Hao Ling smiled, with a sarcastic smile on the corners of her mouth, "Ancestor, even if the page was indeed just a tofu seller before, she is now your granddaughter-in-law! The whole Taihe County people all know about this, and if it weren't for the page, I'm afraid that your ancestors would not have seen your grandson's face long ago, and the white-haired man would have sent black-haired people long ago.
The old lady suddenly took a mouthful of saliva on the ground and stared at Hao Ling with resentment, "You child, you are talking nonsense. You are still young, and you still have decades to live. What nonsense do you have to say about white-haired people to send black-haired people!" Don't mention it in front of me in the future!"
Hao Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Ancestor, didn't I tell you that when Dad sent you a letter that day? Sun'er's situation was critical that day, and he had to be happy, and only the date of birth on the page matched the grandson's, and only she could save Sun'er's life! Although my grandson's life was in danger that day, the page still married me regardless. How can I repay such kindness? Is it to find someone to take her place when she is pregnant? If you go back to your ancestors, your grandchildren really can't do such a ruthless thing.
The old lady was silent for a long time and did not reply to Hao Ling for a moment.
She knows everything Hao Ling said, and Master Hao also talked about it in detail in the letter that day. However, that day was the day, and now is the present. Hao Ling was in danger on that day, but Hao Ling is lively now. Can it be generalized?
The more the old lady thinks about it, the more unhappy she is. The so-called old and young, she also sits there silently.
As long as Hao Ling can't effectively stop her, she will do what she wants. Humph! She still didn't believe it. When she really married Gu Yun into the door, Hao Ling was embarrassed to let Gu Yun stay alone in the empty room all day? Unless Hao Ling is really an unintentional person.
Hao Ling can't look at the old lady all the time. He has already said what he has to say, but the old lady doesn't give him a reply. What should he do?
"Ancestor, I still have something to do in my shop. It's not good for my grandson to be here all the time. Just listen to my grandson once. Don't think about taking Yun'er into our house anymore. If she comes as a guest, her grandson will definitely welcome you, but this... really can't do it."
The old lady just didn't say anything!
Hmm... I don't care about you! Just ignore you! Let's see what you can do with me!
After a moment of stalemate, Hao Ling couldn't do it, so he had to leave for the time being. If something happens in the future, he can't really stay here all the time.
Going out from the old lady, Hao Ling thought for a moment and went back to the East Courtyard first.
Ding Yizi is still lying in **, and Xiaotao Xiaoliu stands outside to help her wait for Hao Ling. Seeing Hao Ling enter the gate of the east courtyard from afar, Xiaotao hurriedly ran back to the room in three steps and two steps, and told Ding Page the news of Hao Ling's return.
Sent all the maids in the room out. Hao Ling just got to Ding Page's bed, sat down quietly, and whispered, "Madam..."
Ding Page turned over and turned to Hao Ling. His expression was still a little sad and helpless, and his eyes were red.
Hao Ling's heart was heartbroken. He reached out and stroked her cheek and said reluctantly, "Madam, isn't it heartbreaking for you to do this?"
Ding Naizi pouted, looked at her nose, and said muffledly, "I don't want you to worry about me. I just think of what the old lady is going to do. I really feel very uncomfortable, and I can't help but want to cry. My father-in-law, I didn't mean to..."
She has always been such a happy and cheerful person; she has always smiled and said to him that it's okay; she has always been happy to face all the battles in front of her. However, this time, she was really scared. Is it because of the old lady? Because she knows that there is no way not to listen to the old lady?
"Madam, I'm sorry to make you sad." Hao Ling thought with some guilt.
"It's okay, it's just..." She looked at Hao Ling with tears in her eyes, wondering if he had any news when he went to the old lady's place. If there is nothing wrong with Gu Yun, she will naturally feel better immediately. If Gu Yun really wants to enter the house, at least she has to come up with a way to deal with it now, right?
Hao Ling nodded to Ding's page apologetically, "Madam, the old lady means that she wants Yuner's cousin to enter the house!"
Ding Shizi's palms turned cold in an instant, and her face turned much pale. Can't she really escape this life? As an ancient woman, does she have to work with others?
"Madam, don't be nervous. Listen to me and tell you slowly. Believe me, I will definitely do what I promised you before! It's impossible for anyone to break my promise to you!"
Hao Ling tried his best to appease Ding Page's mood.
