Chapter 21 Withdrawal

In the Qingtong courtyard, Yu Yaofang's eyes were crooked on the kang, and she was talking to Li Tian in a low voice about the troubles at home: "... In the twelfth lunar month of the year, it was obvious that she wanted to make a big red flower skirt by herself. Aunt Hong insisted that her mother was practicing Yaoxian and asked her to wear the red skirt worn by the singers. Look, where is this? Question mark Who said that red skirts can only be worn by kabuki? In this way, what is the big red pomegranate skirt we usually like to wear? Besides, even if the big red flower skirt is often worn by the Kabuki, she chose it herself. How can she blame the lady? However, my father was confused and blamed my mother in front of my servants. I forced my mother to change Yaoxian's skirt now. I was really angry at that time. If my mother hadn't pushed me away, I would have argued with my father!"

"You are stupid again. Your son doesn't talk about his father's past, and there are no parents in the world. This word of filial piety is suppressed. How can you argue? As long as you choked with your father, you have to be caught. Not only do you lose the name of unfilial piety, but even your wife has to be implicated by you. Li Tian gently persuaded.

"Why do you think my father is so confused? He doesn't know what kind of person his mother is? Why can't he see? ..." Yu Yaofang's tone was very stuffy, but such a thing is common in their Qingjiang Houfu. Li Tian poured a bowl of tangerine peel and fragrant soup and handed it to her, so she had to quietly listen to her vent.

Aunt Hong of Qingjianghou Mansion was born in Qingjianghoufu. She was born with beautiful appearance and outstanding temperament. When she stood there, she was no worse than those ladies. She was more eccentric and more scheming. From the age of 16, she was redeemed by Yu Shengshi, Yu Shengshi, the son of Qingjianghou, and coaxed Yu Shengshi, who coaxed her for more than ten years. In the palm of my hand.

Less than two months after Yu Yaofang's mother, Mrs. Xu, married the Marquis's mansion in Qingjiang, Aunt Hong gave birth to her eldest son Yu Zhihong, and then gave birth to her daughter Yu Yaoxian and second son Yu Zhijian. However, Yu Yaofang's mother entered the door for more than ten years and only gave birth to Yu Yaofang and did not give birth to her first son.

Mrs Xu was married to the Marquis of Qingjiang for a year with her stepmother Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen was born as a merchant and had many dowry. After entering the door, she gave birth to Yu Shengyuan, the fourth son of Qingjiang Houfu. I don't know from which year, Mrs. Chen joined Aunt Hong. Aunt Hong got Mrs. Chen's secret Li's support has not paid any regard to Mrs. Xu at all over the years. Small things happen every day, and big things happen every day. Mrs. Xu has almost no birthdays in Qingjiang Houfu.

"I heard that Xu Shangshu's call for entering the cabinet is very high." Li Tian said abruptly that Xu Shangshu is Mrs. Xu's second cousin and Yu Yaofang's uncle. Yu Yaofang was stunned: "How can I listen to these gossips? Huh? What do you mean by that?

"I mean, your uncle's family has seen a lot of talents in recent years, especially the fourth room of the Xu family. Your second uncle, a minister of the Ministry of Contributary, is about to enter the cabinet to worship. I heard that your second uncle also has a son named Xu Sihai. Last year, he took the Xieyuan exam. He is talented and has an unlimited future. In addition to Xu Sihai, among the young generation of the Xu family, I heard that there are still seven or eight people who are going to go to Beijing to participate in the examination in the next year. Your brother-in-law, Xu Xue and Xu Shangshu, are very brotherly. Don't worry.

Yu Yaofang blinked her eyes for a long time and said with a long 'oh' voice, "Do you mean that my uncle's family is so powerful now that my father dare not bully my mother?"

"I mean, you and your mother should be relieved, like Aunt Hong, and your stepmother, those charming tricks are unreasonable at all. Even your father and your mother don't have to pay attention to it, not to mention that they can't catch your mother. Even if you catch it, your father and your grandfather have to think about it and swallow it. You advise your mother to live by nature. Who is afraid of whom!" Li Tian waved his hand and said disdainfully.

Yu Yaofang tilted her head and thought for a while, and sighed heavily and said, "You're right. My father wanted my mother to help him find his uncle a few days ago and said that he wanted to get an envoy to do it. My mother didn't agree. Like my father, I can't understand this at home. What can I do?! My mother... Alas, I really can't help it. If I change someone, my mother's family has already picked up and sold Aunt Hong's feet, but my mother, it's not that you don't know. The last time I told her that the person who wrote the women's book has never been humble. My mother's angry face turned white. She punished me to kneel for an hour and closed the yard and copied the women's training for ten days. She knew Virtuous and virtuous! I'm so angry. I'm angry with my mother, and I feel sorry for her. My mother can't cure this problem for many years. Since this spring, I can't sleep all night. These two things are not good. I'm really afraid of her... My mother is full of grievances in her heart, and many things need. I didn't see it. She wouldn't even say it. What do you think I should do? Several times, I dreamed that my mother was gone. Every time, I was scared into a cold sweat. When I woke up, I didn't dare to sleep again.

Li Tian stretched out her hand to hold Yu Yaofang's hand. She felt the same fear and pain. When her grandmother fell ill, she was the same.

"Five Lady, Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Lin is here." Qingzhi raised his voice and reported, while directly lifting the curtain to let Lin Ke enter the house.

Lin Ke rushed in with an angry face, shook her cloak, waved her hand repeatedly and said, "No tea, nothing, you all retreat." Qingzhi hurriedly pushed the silver birch out. Li Tian and Yu Yaofang looked at Lin Ke together and were a little puzzled. What made her like this?

Lin Ke sat on the kang like a gust of wind and looked at Li Tian and said, "Just now, Leng Mingsong's mother and Leng's wife came to my house! I brought a lot of things, and I still think that Tian's brother-in-law's family is sensible and has brought me so many good things. Who knows!" Lin Ke patted the kang angrily: "She actually came to withdraw from the marriage! What!"

The smile on Li Tian's face suddenly condensed, and Yu Yaofang was also shocked and hurriedly asked, "Isn't it all settled? How can it be easy to retreat?

"That's why I said that they are not things. The Leng's wife actually said that it was her mother, Mrs. Zhou, who didn't tell her and ordered it without telling her. What nonsense! It stinks more than a fart!" Lin Ke patted the kang again.

Li Tian's heart was filled with dull and confused pain. The gentle and modest gentleman, those future plans, just flowed away from her fingertips... Without marriage, she had no shelter, and those countless coveted schemes in plain and secretly... Li Tian was speechless in her heart.

"What's wrong with you?" For a long time, Li Tiancai asked in a dry voice. Lin Ke nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes... She is talking nonsense."

"What the hell did you say!" Yu Yaofang's anxious voice was raised. Lin Ke pouted and said, "What is her son's eight-character weak? The master in the temple said that he had to find a valuable eight-character and a blessed life. He said that Sister Tian... Anyway, it's not the lucky one. By the way, my mother asked me to return this to you." As Lin Ke said, she carefully took a leaf-shaped, dark and non-gold pendant from her purse and tied with a thin silver chain.

Li Tian took the pendant with her eyelids and put her head down and put it around her neck. The pendant is said to be a Buddhist sacred object from Tianzhu. It was a trusted object given by her grandfather to her grandmother in those years. Grandma later gave it to her mother. After her parents died, the pendant was taken off from her father and put on herself. Now this token has been returned and hung down. On my neck.

"Tingtian, don't be sad. It's the cold and unlucky. No wonder he has weak eight characters. He deserves to be weak! My sister-in-law also came to accompany me, saying that it was her cousin who didn't think about what she was doing. I was so angry that I wanted to scold her. Their Ding family were all messy people! Even rotten people can't do such a thing! But later I didn't scold. If I scolded her, she didn't dare to do anything to me, and I had to blame you. I would never help you. I pulled my mouth and smiled at her like this, saying that it was okay. It was their cold family that they were not worthy of Sister Tian. Lin Ke pulled up the corners of her mouth with her fingers.

Yu Yaofang patted her chest with one hand: "Amitabha, you finally know which is busy and which is busy."

"That's because I think a little more than her toes." Lin Ke raised her chin and said. Li Tian raised her hand to cover her face. For a long time, she sighed and smiled strongly, "Yes, they are not blessed. I have planned everything. Even which county is the best time to go to be a foreigner the year after next year, and what kind of car is the most comfortable to use on the road. As a result, now, dear It's over!"

Yu Yaofang and Lin Ke looked at each other and looked at Li Tian together. Lin Ke leaned over and looked at Li Tian and said, "Why don't we go to the list and catch a son-in-law for you in the spring of the year after next?" Yu Yaofang laughed and resisted her smile. She stretched out her hand and pulled Li Tian and said, "Listen to your words, I know that you are fine. How can't you think about it because of this? My mother-in-law also said that no matter how good the Leng family is, but after all, the Leng family is too low. This is the best. If the bad ones don't go well, I will go back. Let my mother help you pay attention to finding good relatives. Why don't you marry me? The Xu family in Lening is a well-known Jiangnan Wang and scholarly family. Didn't you just say that there are many young talents in the Xu family's generation.

The more Yu Yaofang said, the more excited she became. She let go of Li Tian, clapped her hands and smiled, "I'll go back and tell my mother to choose the best cousin from the Xu family and tell you, so that we will be relatives!"

"Sister Tian married into my foreign family! Jiang in Huaiyang is no worse than Le Ning and Xu's family! By the way, my little uncle is going to be transferred to Beijing as an official after the Spring Festival, and my aunt will also take my cousin to Beijing. Sister Tian, let me tell you, my cousin is a famous talent. I heard that he is also good-looking. Don't you like beautiful things the most? You can marry my cousin. Let's kiss each other!" Lin Ke didn't want to lag behind, and even thought about the candidate for Li Tian.

"My cousin is also good-looking!" Yu Yaofang hurriedly grabbed the words and said, "I also have a cousin Xieyuan! A Tian..."

"Stop!" Li Tian quickly waved his hand to stop the quarrel between the two and looked at them speechlessly, as if they had the final say on their cousin's marriage.

"Yyao, you go back and solemnly talk to your mother, and help me pay attention to good relatives, poor and rich officials, innocent family background, simple population, and good people. I advise you to talk to your mother, just focus on finding two good relatives for you and me." Li Tian said sullenly.

"I'll tell my mother when I go back." Lin Ke can't leave anything behind.

"Forget it. Your mother's friends are all powerful families, and there is no suitable marriage for me." Li Tian didn't dare to let Lin Ke say this. He quickly waved his hand and refused and added, "Don't tell your mother these words. The girl's family should be based on chastity. How can she marry herself? She wants to ask us what we said, and you can answer like this."

"Good!" Lin Ke agreed that Li Tian's words should be listened to ten times, and A Niang's words could be discounted. The three were silent for a moment, and Lin Ke said angrily, "Sister Tian, this cold family is too angry. It's too bad. Why don't I smash his house?"

Li Tian was speechless by her idea. Yu Yaofang stretched out her hand and patted Lin Ke again: "You smashed it all over the capital to know that Sister Tian has been withdrawn from the marriage. I just praised you for not helping you, but you helped it again. It's really not praiseable!"

"Forget it, as you said, their cold family doesn't have such a blessing. This matter is over. Don't mention it again." Li Tian was gray-faced and didn't want to mention this matter again. The two quickly changed the topic and chatted for most of the day before saying goodbye together.
