The Legitimate Younger Sister Insists on Marriage Exchange, Sending Me to Become a Marquis Wife – Chapter 551

第551章 计较
“你这话说的好没道理,我能动什么心思,手心手背都是肉,”顾十六的娘恼了,瞪着眼睛争辩:“都是从我肚子里出来的,都是我的儿女。”

顾十六的爹冷笑一声,道:“罢咧,都儿女成群了,还说这些话,好像谁没做过儿女似的。手心手背都是肉不假,但手背的肉就是不那么讨喜罢了。之前我还睁一只眼闭一只眼,现在不成了,咱们十六有侯爷和夫人罩着,亲事上你别总想着怎么找个好拿捏的,贴补老二。可别说我没提醒你,咱们丑话先说在前头。”

红棉等了半晌,才看见顾十六的爹娘两人进来,都是一脸难色,心中便是咯噔一下。

偏偏座上有几个顾家的女眷扯着说家常,也只好耐着性子应付。

顾十六的娘坐定了,先叹了口气,扭了扭身子,又长叹一声。

众人都觉着不对,安静了下来。

顾十六的爹不说话,只是将水烟杆子在桌面上使劲敲了几下。

顾十六的娘期期艾艾地对红棉的娘道:“刚才家门口来了个云游的和尚,说家里如今不能办喜事。我们就问定亲呢,和尚说定亲也不行。”

红棉的娘立即恼了:“哪里来的秃驴,敢来人家家里说这些丧气的话,你们没有将他打出去么?”

顾十六的娘道:“我们就给了他点银子,又布施了些银两,问他怎么办,他说要让我们家十六亲自相看,不然以后要出怨偶,家宅不宁。可顾十六这个遭瘟的,让人带信他也不回家,顾十八还说侯爷这些天吩咐他有事,回不来。”

眼看亲事要黄。

红棉慌忙喊了声娘。

红棉的娘压了压火气,道:“咱们之前不是说好了么?你家十六过了节就要跟着七小姐去白鹤书院,要过两年才能回来,他若是一直不得空,难道还要我家红棉等他两年不成?”

顾十六的娘为难道:“我们也是这么想的,早点儿成了亲,他底下的弟弟妹妹也好成亲,就对那和尚说了,问有什么办法破解。和尚说,把两人的庚帖吊在灶台上的房梁上,三天之后没半点错漏,这婚事还能成,不然只怕喜事要变坏事了。”

红棉的手便是一晃,半盏茶水就晃了出来。

红棉的娘吊着脸道:“之前我们可是寻了街头的张瞎子合过八字的,合的不能再合了,这会儿……”

红棉一看不是事,便道:“娘,我有话和您说。”

她娘便恨铁不成钢地看了她一眼,最终还是道:“你说。”

母女二人嘀咕了一阵,最终还是应了下来。

顾家和李家的亲戚们神色都有些怪异,之前两家都将聘礼嫁妆等事谈妥了,猛地就变成了这个样子,任是谁不得大闹一场,没想到红棉的老子娘竟然答应了下来。

这不明摆着红棉没过门就低了一头。

顾十六的老娘面上难掩轻视,红棉的娘虽然生气,但又拿主意大的女儿无法,便阴沉着脸,带着红棉离了顾家。

“女儿啊,你也看见了,他家的大嫂不好当啊,他娘偏心小的,如今又出尔反尔,我这个做娘的脸都被人家踩在脚底板了,还得强装笑脸。但娘和顾家人能相处多久,你可是要和他们相处一辈子的。这古话说,男怕入错行,女怕嫁错郎,你不信不行呢。”

红棉坚定地道:“娘,我自有主意,等我嫁进去,站稳脚跟,自然会想法子拾掇他们家里的人。顾十六可是侯爷身边第一信任之人,人又长得好,心性极好,女儿嫁给他日后必定享福,也能带着哥哥弟弟们过好日子。”

红棉的娘叹气道:“你爹做着采买,日子也算过得去了,日后你兄长再谋个差事,娶了媳妇,还愁什么?还需要你这么着算计,我真是想不明白。”

可红棉哪里是能被三言两语说动的,也只能依她罢了。

红棉和娘作别,心事重重地回到梧桐苑,不用她娘说,她也知道三天之约只怕是顾家的托词。

但如今已是箭在弦上不得不发。

当场翻脸,那便是一点机会也没有了,现如今,好歹还有点期望。

销假之后,红棉想去正房伺候秦鸢,却被翠茗拦住了。

翠茗道:“这么晚了,你在外面晃了一天回来,也不必着急近前伺候。”

红棉堆笑道:“翠茗姐姐说的是,我是该先梳洗一番才好,风尘仆仆的,别腌臜了主子。”

翠茗没理她。

红棉转过身便吊了脸。

几个和她比较亲近的小丫头原本在廊下说话,见她过来都假做有事在忙,也不像往常一般围过来。

红棉心里装着事,也没太在意。等洗浴了回来,就发现有些不对劲了。

她榻上的被褥竟然被人泼湿了。

“这是怎么回事?”红棉叉着腰,瞪着眼睛,准备开战。

同屋的几人避开了视线,都说不知。

红棉怒道:“既然你们都不知道,可见是人人有份的,我睡不成,大家就都不要睡了罢。”

说着就要拿铜盆来泼。

几个人慌忙来拦,闹得人仰马翻。

翠茗走了过来,冷冷道:“这又是怎么回事?红棉,怎么又是你,今日你早早出了门,丢下一堆事不管,让我们几个人在库房里点算忙了一天,回来又不安生,你不睡觉别人还要睡呢。”

红棉委屈道:“翠茗姐姐是夫人身边得用的人,就更该明辨是非才是。我的床榻被人无端泼了水,怎么睡觉,她们都在屋内,却一问三不知,只怕就是她们干的。”

同屋的人赶忙摇头摆手,道:“真是冤枉,我们才下了值没多久,在一起说话,她从外面刚回来就问怎么回事,我们哪里知道,她就说睡不了大家都不要睡了。要说红棉也是新得了夫人赏识,怎么就那么不讲理了。”

翠茗冷冷看着红棉,道:“你也听见了,也不知是你自己不小心弄湿了床榻,还是得罪了什么人闹出来的事。你要是没地方睡觉,便先和旁人先搭个铺好了。”

红棉心下已有了计较。

想了想便道:“既然如此,我便和旁人挤一挤好了,不知道红叶姐姐那里方便不方便。”

Besides the difficult mother-in-law, there’s also a childhood friend cousin watching closely!” Qin Yuan laughs: “This forced title of Duchess handed to me is quite enjoyable. Tsk tsk… I can do business, excel in medicine, and possess strategies both in mind and stomach. In my previous life, this Prime Minister's wife was all planned by me, naïve little sister.” In her past life, her husband was firmly locked with her younger sister, so in this life, she won’t have to exert effort climbing up with him; isn’t it better to achieve success on her own? — The Duke of Dingbei, who married late to defend the border, becomes a god of war in uniform, and when he shaves his beard, he turns into a handsome young man, with countless women yearning for him.
