第38章 坚持要嫁他

媒婆是专业的,赵太太话中话也听了个明白。

“这肖家大小姐才貌双全,肖氏大族嫡亲的孙女,和贵府是门当户对,赵太太,怎么就放弃了?”

这不是影响她的谢媒礼吗?
“是我家老爷的意思。”赵太太其实还是觉得肖春兰讨回来做老三媳妇也是挺好的,那姑娘自己见过,文文静静的,长得也不错:“我家老爷说了,正因为人家是好姑娘,我家老三文不成武不就的,得好好纠正纠正性子,以免祸害人家姑娘。”

“两姓之好,是结亲不是结仇,就我家老三那性子,真是高配不上肖家大小姐。”

赵太太是昧着良心贬低自己的儿子,天地良心,她觉得自家儿子除了考不上秀才当不了大夫外,其他其实都挺好的。

也是不想和肖氏大族结仇,所以可劲儿贬低自个儿儿子。

但愿这些话能在媒婆这儿当风吹过,若不然几年后还怎么娶媳妇?
谁家愿意将闺女嫁给一个不着调的小子?

“赵太太这是真不提了?”

“不提了。”赵太太连忙塞了二两银子到媒婆手上:“有劳嫂子帮忙美言几句,等我家明华被老爷调教好了,再请嫂子帮忙说一门亲事。”

“行行行,这事儿包在我身上,我不是吹牛,天下就没有我胡媒婆谈不拢的亲事。”

有二两银子也算是安慰吧,胡媒婆虽然不知道赵家为什么不愿意求娶肖家大小姐了,但是她也不算是白来。

这事儿,一定得办妥了。

“什么?赵家这段时间忙,没有提亲的打算了?”陈嬷嬷得到胡媒婆的回复都震惊了:“忙什么忙?还有比娶儿媳妇更忙的事儿吗?”

“不知道,应该有吧?”

哎,这嬷嬷当真是老了,没听懂话中的意思吗?

非要说人家不稀罕你家小姐了,不求娶了脸上才有光吗?
“什么呀?”陈嬷嬷气笑了:“他赵家以为他家了不起啊?居然敢嫌弃我们小姐!”

胡媒婆……看看吧,这大约也是赵家不娶的原因所在。

跟着好人学好人跟着当宫学流神,一个嬷嬷也不过是下人而已,说话狂得很啊。

只能说,赵太太是个聪明人,做出这样的决定是相当的正确。

娶妻娶贤,贤妻旺三代。

肖家大小姐的在外的名声不显,但是胡媒婆其实是打听到了一些个中细节不好说的事儿的。

这门亲事没成,也算是她积了一点功德。

“你说什么?”

肖太太文氏听到陈嬷嬷的话后震惊了:“什么原因知道吗?”

“不知道,赵家只说三少爷太顽劣了,赵老爷还要管教向年再议亲事。”

“不行啊,管教几年,几年后我就二十出头了。”肖春兰听到这话急得眼眶都红了:“肖伯母不是一直挺喜欢我的吗?我也喜欢明华哥哥,娘亲,您和肖伯母不是一直关系挺好的吗?怎么会这样?”

到手的夫婿突然间就飞了,肖春兰的天都塌了。

“春兰,胡说什么?”文氏脸涨得通红:“你先回院子去。”

“娘亲……”

“回去。”

“我……”肖春兰哭着跑回了后院。

“太太。”陈嬷嬷担心的看向大小姐的背影:“大小姐她……”

“春兰年轻不懂事,大夏又不只有一个赵明华。”文氏又气又恼:“我还是有点想不通,明明我和赵太太聊得好好的。”

一个看女婿一个看儿媳,都是十分的满意,怎么突然间就不谈了呢?

文氏气不过的不甚至不是赵家不谈了,而是提出不谈的是赵家。

肖氏大族,昌州四大家庭之一,整个赵家都要低一等的,怎么敢嫌弃她的闺女?
“太太,强扭的瓜不甜。”陈嬷嬷也只能这样劝她了:“只不过,大小姐好像是动了真心了,太太,您要不要去看看大小姐。”

“这妮子,就是见识太少了。”文氏一声叹息:“养女儿都是债啊。”

不得已,还只能去女儿的院子安慰她。

还没走进就听到了女儿的哭声。

“见过大太太。”

丫头见状连忙见礼:“大太太,小姐她……”

“行了,你们都下去吧。”

“是!”

文氏走进了院子。

“也去,滚出去,谁让你进来的。”肖春兰操起桌上的花瓶就砸向了门口的人:“都给我滚远点,别进来碍我的眼。”

“春兰!”

幸好文氏躲闪得快,那花瓶才没砸到她头上:“不得无理。”

“娘亲…?”看到自己差点犯了错吓得不轻,不过想着那门亲事,一下就扑到了文氏怀里:“娘亲,我就要嫁给赵明华,我喜欢他,我就要嫁给他,除了他女儿谁都不嫁了。”

“春兰,你这是何必呢?”文氏气得不轻:“世间又不只有赵明华一个男子?比他好看的有本事的多得很,你到底是被他灌了什么迷魂汤,一个姑娘家为一个男子哭哭啼啼成何体统?”

“娘,世上再多男儿,再好男儿我都不稀罕,我就是要嫁给他。”

“可是,赵家并没有迎娶你的打算呀?”

“不对,他们有,是你们先拒绝了,然后赵家就觉得没有脸面了,所以就不再上门来提亲了。”

“春兰,这种事儿怎么能怪在我们头上呢?”文氏都被女儿气笑了:“世风如此,有人上门提亲,女方也是要象征性的拒绝一两次,表示并不是上赶着嫁女儿,是他们三番五次求娶的儿媳,这样才会珍惜,才会给足你脸面……”

“那都是骗人的。”肖春兰嘶哑着声音道:“哪来三番五次,赵家也是大户人家,他们不要面子吗?为什么你们当时不答应啊?现在怎么办?他要娶别人了吗?”

“不,我绝对不能让赵明华娶别人。”肖春兰紧紧的捏着手绢:“赵明华只能娶我,只能是我肖春兰的姑爷。”

“你……”

女儿是什么性子文氏再了解不过了,还是忍不住劝了一句:“强扭的瓜不甜,春兰啊,娘亲让你大姨在昌州给你找一个更好的姑爷,可行?”
