Chapter 219

Since then, the Qi Luo family has officially turned against each other.

Fang couldn't help feeling that Luo Mingdu was really pitiful, and felt very miserable.Fortunately, within two days, Mrs. Ming brought good news, which relieved Fang's depression a lot.

Since Mrs. Ming met Luo Tiandu at Shangyuan Temple, Mrs. Ming said a lot of good things, and the incident that Luo Tiandu went into the water to save people that day made Mrs. Ming feel that this child is really kind-hearted. People have already acquiesced to this marriage.The rules here are mostly that the man's father brings a matchmaker to propose marriage. Although Mrs. Ming is in Beijing, Mr. Ming is still in his hometown.Originally, it was logical that if the father failed, the uncle could propose the marriage on his behalf, but Mrs. Ming, to show her prudence, sent someone home to invite Mr. Ming after she returned from Shangyuan Temple.

"My sister-in-law, who grew up with me, has the most kind temper. If Xiao Du married, let alone, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must be harmonious, and Yue'er has no other brothers, so there is no need to marry her." I am worried about the difficulty in the relationship between the sisters-in-law, because the family has been poor these years, and the dowry will not recognize it." Mrs. Ming became a matchmaker, and she was very happy in her heart, and she dragged Mrs. Fang to talk endlessly.

After hearing this, Mrs. Fang felt very grateful, waved her hands again and again and said, "You know what my family looks like, so why would you care about it. I still say the same old saying, as long as the in-laws are kind and the children get along with each other, everything will be fine." Yes, we will do our best on the dowry."

After hearing this, Mrs. Ming made a promise: "Don't worry about that. You've seen Ming Yue's mother before, and she has a soft temper. I can rest assured about your child. If it's a child from another family, I'm worried that she will bully her when she enters the house. elder."

Recalling the meeting with Mrs. Ming that day, Mrs. Fang also felt that Mrs. Ming was a good-tempered and reasonable person, and she would become Luo Tiandu's mother-in-law in the future, so she probably wouldn't be too hard on Luo Tiandu.

After Luo Tiandu's marriage was roughly settled, Fang's heart felt relieved, and he became much lighter. He valued Mrs. Ming as a matchmaker more and more, so she asked Xiang Lan to prepare some good dishes to entertain Mrs. Ming.

Mrs. Ming naturally declined: "This is the fate of Xiaodu and Yue'er. Where is my business, Mrs. Luo must not be so polite."

Mrs. Fang is a straightforward person. She pulled Mrs. Luo and said, "I'm just a rough person, and I don't know what other wives do. I will keep your love in my heart, and I will never forget it."

Mrs. Ming laughed: "My lord and Mr. Luo are officials in the same dynasty. Speaking of which, Mr. Luo has helped my lord a lot, so you and I don't have to be so polite." After speaking, she called Luo Mingdu and her sister out to meet .

To be honest, Luo Tian didn't dislike this Mrs. Ming, and Mrs. Ming's bright temperament actually liked her a little bit, but she really didn't want to marry now, especially marrying a scholar.She didn't mean that Yue was not good, but in her eyes, Ming Yue was no different from a junior, and she really couldn't give birth to any affection.

However, both Fang and Mrs. Ming were very interested, so she didn't bother to say bad things in front of them to spoil their interest, so she had to find another way to get the Ming family to take the initiative to withdraw the marriage.

In late spring and early summer, the weather is the most comfortable, neither hot nor cold.Fang had already set up the windows, and the warm wind brought the moist breath of the flowers and plants outside, blowing in, warming the heart.

Luo Tiandu asked Xiqiao to bring some mountain products and freshly baked biscuits, fearing that they would get angry if they ate too much, they each made a bowl of honey water and sat around chatting.This fresh honey is a special product of the Luo family. Others don't have it even if they want to eat it. Everyone likes it for entertaining guests.

Mrs. Ming happened to eat a lot of wine these days, and she was a little uncomfortable. She drank two bowls in a row before she put down the bowl and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. This Jinshi came from the same state capital as my master, and my master couldn't bear it, invited a few tables, ate a lot of wine, and got a little angry, which made you laugh."

Fang was grateful, worried that there was nothing special to entertain her at home, so she quickly poured another bowl, and said, "This season is easy to get angry, and it happens that someone in the family knows how to keep bees, and honey is often eaten. I will ask someone to give it to you later. Send it over, and drink it with water every morning and evening, it is very beneficial." After finishing speaking, he asked Xiqiao to take a small jar of ripe honey brought from his hometown the previous year, and let Mrs. Ming take it back.

Mrs. Ming also smiled: "I only heard that someone digs out the hive to cut honey, but I have never seen anyone domesticate wild bees. This is a good business. Don't look at this small pot. How many dignitaries in Shangjing want to eat it? I can’t eat it either, I’ve had enough of it today, but I want to drink two more bowls, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear it.”

Mrs. Fang was afraid that Mrs. Ming would look down on Mrs. Luo's rudimentary things. Seeing Mrs. Luo likes them, she was too late to be happy, so she couldn't bear it.

Speaking of releasing the list, Mrs. Ming had something to say again.

"Well, this year is also not going well. In the past, when the rankings were announced, there would be an uproar with gongs and drums. It's not as quiet as this year. Even the old man who picked his son-in-law didn't dare to come out."

But no, this year there is still a big mess in Lixiang City that no one has cleaned up, and today I am worried that I won't be able to get someone to take action.

After hearing this, Luo Tian couldn't help being a little curious: "What does releasing the emperor's list have to do with my father-in-law?"

Mrs. Ming glanced at her, and didn't think she was a girl who said that her father-in-law had no rules, so she explained to her: "In our hometown, there was a popular saying that this is going to Beijing, and the staff is cheap. Like a dog, the governor walks all over the streets. At that time, I also thought that everyone in Shangjing was an official. After I came to Shangjing, I realized that there are still more ordinary people. Think about it, how many people are there in Shangjing, how many officials are there? ?The people who are full of Jingduo are those who have no foundation, but with a little bit of luck, they have made a fortune. They waited for the results of each subject, and waited with all their strength, hoping that some young graduates, If there is no wife in the family, put a large dowry on the daughter to marry him!"

"What else?" Fang still didn't believe it.

"It's not new. I heard from them that it's important. If you meet someone who doesn't, even if the scholar has an old wife at home, you don't care. As long as the scholar is willing to cut off contact with his hometown. I don't know how many poor people A scholar from birth, who once became famous, abandoned his wretched wife and married another in order to seek wealth and honor."

The Luo family came from a poor background, and Fang knew how difficult it was for a poor family to confess a scholar, so she couldn't accept it: "Women in their hometown do housework, take care of the whole family, and work hard. Not idle, just for men to study and take scientific examinations. If a man wins Jinshi and abandons his old wife, isn't that just like a beast?"

"It's just like a beast. Some people are willing to give money to snatch a beast." When Mrs. Ming said this, she glanced at Luo Mingdu twice.

Luo Tian saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, Mrs. Ming's retelling of the words clearly meant something.But this year, no one from her family participated in the ceremony, so what does Mrs. Ming mean by saying that?

Soon, Luo Tian understood what Mrs. Ming was referring to.

Because, two days later, the Qi family sent someone to bring back Luo Mingdu's original dowry.

When Qi Jin and Luo Ming both came to Beijing, they didn't bring their dowry. It is conceivable that the dowry was brought by Mr. Qi later.This dowry will not be given away early or late, just in time for Qi Jin to be a Jinshi and brought it over. Everyone knows what the Qi family's plan is.

Although Luo Tiandu didn't want Luo Mingdu to have anything to do with the Qi family anymore, but seeing how the Qi family didn't treat Luo Mingdu as a person, fawning over him when it was useful, and throwing it away like trash when it was useless, Still pissed off.She was sure that if Qi Jin hadn't been selected as a Jinshi in this subject, the Qi family would not let Luo Mingdu go so easily and happily, and would definitely drag Luo Mingdu to be the daughter-in-law of the Qi family.

She sneered in her heart, the Qi family really thought that a Jinshi in Qi Jinzhong would be able to reach the sky in one step, and her official career would be smooth from then on.

Back then, the Qi family gave a very generous dowry, and the Luo family didn't keep any of it, so they added it as a dowry and carried it to the Qi family. Now this dowry is brought back with the dowry.Luo Tiandu saved the dowry that his family had prepared for Luo Mingdu, and put it away according to the list, and let Zishu carry the rest back to Qi Jin intact.

Mrs. Liu also persuaded her, since the Qi family sent it back, why not keep it, at least there will be a lot of silver taels.

Luo Tian didn't even bother to explain to her that the Qi family and the Luo family had been feuded since then, no matter how expensive the Qi family's things were, she didn't want to touch them.Not to mention keeping it for use, just looking at it makes me feel hiccups in my heart.

It didn't take long before they heard about the engagement between the Qi family and the Hua family. The bride Luo Tiandu still knew her, who was Yun Niang, who was dressed in fancy dress beside Liu Jinxiu back then.

Even Luo Tian already knew Qi Jin's cool temper, and at this moment he couldn't help but secretly scolded Qi Jin for not being a thing.Before the old man is married, the bride is about to marry in, so I feel more and more pitiful that my eldest sister has married such a heartless white-eyed wolf.

Even the Liu family felt that the Qi family was too much, and couldn't help but feel aggrieved: "Even if we want to marry again, it will take a year or two at least before we are separated from the eldest lady, and it is less than a month. It's really chilling to marry a new daughter-in-law. Fortunately..." Fortunately, she still wanted to marry Fang Min into Qi's family as Qi Jin's concubine, so it's better to give up this idea as soon as possible.

On the contrary, Luo Mingdu came over to comfort her: "I have already broken up with him, and it is reasonable for him to marry again, so there is no need to talk about it in the future."

Although Luo Mingdu's tone of voice was very gentle and his expression was normal, but Luo Tiandu looked at her, but felt that her heart was about to cry.
