sister-in-law

Chapter 194
When Gu Zhang was surprised at how his mother was so hot today, he suddenly heard such a sentence from her mouth, and immediately slapped the chopsticks on the table, and said angrily, "Li'er is my Gu family's name." The eldest daughter-in-law, she was the one who took care of my father's funeral back then, so no one in this family can do without her!"

When Luo Shi saw that his eldest son was protecting Su Ruoli so tightly, he was so angry that he felt a wave of karma in his heart, but when he met Gu Zhang's stern and cold eyes, he suppressed it forcefully. .

Swallowing, she smiled embarrassingly, "Aren't I afraid that she will be weak and unable to withstand long journeys? Staying here can support her health."

Gu Zhang just gave a soft "hmm", wondering if he believed Luo Shi's words.

Gu Mo glanced at Su Ruoli, who was stuffed with food, his eyes couldn't help but warm up, and he said softly, "Brother said, sister-in-law has done so much for our family, she is a great contributor to the Gu family!"

Luo Shi was so choked up by the words of these two sons that she couldn't go up or down, which made her chest uncomfortable. In front of her children, she couldn't get down on her face, so she immediately put down the chopsticks and groaned a few times, "I can't eat any more." Yes, my heart hurts!"

Gu Zhang glanced at her coldly, and pouted at Su Ruoli, "Li'er knows how to give you an injection, let her give you an injection, and you'll be fine!"

Roche immediately fell silent.
She clearly remembered that when Su Ruoli's little hoof got married to her family on the first day, he gave her a solid needle. blood.

Seeing that Luo Shi was silent, Gu Zhang didn't say anything, and the whole family just ate in silence.

Su Ruoli felt a little sad when he saw that the lively scene had turned so cold.Especially when she saw Gu Xueniang and Gu Xuan eating happily, she couldn't bear the boring meal.

Touching Gu Xuan's head, Su Ruoli said to Gu Mo with a smile, "Second brother has won the Jinshi now, and if he thinks about it outside, he won't know him as a classmate anymore. It's time to find a good teacher for third brother!"

Gu Mo quickly agreed, and Su Ruoli started to talk about his marriage again, "You are also sixteen, and now you have been awarded a Jinshi, and you are quite well-known in Beijing, and those big families in Beijing have heard of you , I don't know what kind of woman you like, sister-in-law should worry about your marriage."

A sister-in-law is like a mother!

Although Luo Shi is still alive, but Su Ruoli is in charge of this family, and Luo Shi is out of touch, so she is naturally worried about entrusting Gu Mo's marriage to her.

Hearing this, Gu Zhang also smiled and looked at Gu Mo, whose face was already flushed, "Yes, my second brother was awarded a Jinshi at a very young age. I don't know how many girls in Beijing like you. This This time, your sister-in-law has to take good care of you!"

As soon as Luo Shi heard that he was going to marry Gu Mo, he immediately became excited, "I should go out and walk around more, my son is civil and martial, and my face as a mother is also bright, when the time comes, go and see, Let's see if there is a suitable girl."

Gu Zhang naturally knew his mother's temperament, she was always a lively person, if she wasn't so careless, he wouldn't want to keep her at home.

What's more, his younger siblings have also reached the age of marriage, and it is always nice to have a mother walking outside.

Even if Li'er is a sister-in-law, in the eyes of outsiders, the mother-in-law is still alive, so she can't overstep it, right?

He glanced at Su Ruoli with a look of inquiry in his eyes.

As smart as Su Ruoli, how could he not understand?

He quickly smiled and said, "If mother wants to go out and walk around, that's fine. I'll just take care of it at home. Mother should pay attention to the marriage of younger brothers and sisters!"

These words were very ironic, and Luo Shi was quite pleased with what he said, and when he looked at Su Ruoli, he didn't feel as disgusted as before.

Seeing that his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are so harmonious, Gu Zhang was surprised, but also slightly relieved.

On the second day, Su Ruoli ordered her mother-in-law to call the embroiderers from Jingli Jinxiufang home to make new clothes for Luo Shi and Gu Meiniang and Gu Xueniang. The next day, she went to Duobao in person. Zhai picked out some pieces of head jewelry.

After a few days, the Gu family received a post from the servant of the Ministry of Rites, saying that they invited their family members to enjoy the plum blossoms.

The mother and daughter of the Luo family dressed up happily, and Su Ruoli took a special time to take the mother and daughter to the house of the servant of the Ministry of Rites early in the morning.

In fact, the marriage of men and women in ancient times was ordered by their parents and the words of the matchmaker, but the big family is not the kind of blind marriage. Once the children are of marriageable age, the parents and elders of the family will take them to some places where the family makes good friends. home walk.

They often take their children out to be seen by others through banquets such as birthday greetings or flower viewing.If there are people with similar family background and appearance, they will naturally settle down.

Gu Zhang is an upstart in the court, and his mother is a country woman. If Su Ruoli doesn't show up, the mother and daughter will go to other people rashly, which is very rude.

Now that he has entered the Gu family's door, he can't say those gossips anymore. For Gu Zhang's sake, Su Ruoli still has to lead his sister out.

The four of them took two carriages, one for Luo Shi and Gu Meiniang, and one for Su Ruoli and Gu Xueniang, and arrived at the house of the servant of the Ministry of Rites.

When I got out of the car, I saw sedan chairs and cars parked outside the door, which shows that there are quite a few people here today.

Luo Shi was wearing a purplish red woven golden makeup and flower trousers, and on her head was a golden mask that Su Ruoli had just bought for her. Her face was powdered, and her lips were painted with bright red lipstick. If it weren't for those eyes that would always look around Never idle for a moment, she can be regarded as a lady.

Gu Meiniang wore a pair of emerald and green embroidered plum blossom gowns, and a pair of pearls on her head. The beads were the size of lotus seeds, but Su Ruoli spent a lot of money to take advantage of her pink beep with some The baby's chubby face can be regarded as delicate and lovely.

Su Ruoli got out of the car, and looked Gu Meiniang up and down. It would have been great if she hadn't had an affair with the son of Mr. Li. Now, with the reputation of Gu Zhang and Gu Mo, even if she can't marry into those aristocratic families, it's normal for her to marry her. Wealthy families can still marry.

It's just a pity, now that she looks like this, who else can discuss marriage with her?

Gu Xueniang, on the other hand, is wearing a red dress with makeup and two delicate pink palace flowers on her head, making her face look like powder and her lips like lip balm.

If you think about teaching Gu Xueniang well, maybe you can find a good marriage for her in the future.

Thinking about it like this, Luo Shi couldn't wait any longer, stood there and counted the sedan chairs at the door, and said to Gu Meiniang with a smile, "There are quite a lot of people here today, we girls need to keep our eyes open and take a good look." .”

Su Ruoli smiled noncommittally, but said nothing.

For the sake of his children's marriage, Luo Shi can't be as willful and domineering as at home, right?

Pulling Gu Xueniang's sleeve, Su Ruoli smiled lightly, "It's time to go in."

When they arrived at the gate, the housekeeper's wife from the servant's family greeted them and led them to the flower hall in the front yard.

As soon as I entered, I saw how busy Yingying and Yanyan were.

Those wives and ladies are also prominent figures, and the men in the family are either rich or expensive, and all of them are also full of jewels.

Su Ruoli looked at Luo Shi who was walking in front of her, and looked at her fringe flickering down as she walked, thinking that she was not half a head shorter than these ladies.

Except for that time when he went to Duke Cheng's mansion, Luo Shi never walked around the capital again. Seeing those wives who didn't know each other, he couldn't help but smile.

But she was rich, but she didn't have that kind of superior temperament, and there was a flattering smile on her face unconsciously, which made those ladies look down on her.

There was no other way, Su Ruoli could only take Gu Xueniang forward, and greeted the wives one by one.

Many wives have heard of Su Ruoli's name, so they naturally sell her some face.Anyway, people will get sick, and at that time, they will have to ask her for help. Those people don't seem to be hypocritical, and they are all very warm.

Gradually, someone asked about Gu Xueniang brought by Su Ruoli. Seeing that the girl was very handsome, some wives also came forward to inquire.

After all, brothers Gu Zhang and Gu Mo have achieved such achievements at a young age. Compared with those dudes of nobles, they are considered young men who are determined to forge ahead.

Even if the wives of the aristocratic families look down on them, there are still some families who are not as important as Gu Zhang but have lived in Beijing for several lifetimes. These families are still willing to marry the Gu family.

Su Ruoli hurriedly introduced Gu Xueniang, but fortunately, this child has been with her for so long, and she has learned the rules and etiquette well, and she is generous and unassuming, which wins the favor of some noble ladies.

Su Ruoli took the opportunity to meet a few more girls. Although none of them were outstanding, they were pretty good with Gu Mo.

At this time, Luo Shi was dissatisfied with bringing Gu Meiniang to this side.While greeting those wives at every turn, she kept complaining about Su Ruoli, how can a mother-in-law stay behind and a daughter-in-law stand out?

It's just that she forgot that if it wasn't for Su Ruoli, those wives wouldn't even look at their mother and daughter.

After finally squeezing in front of Su Ruoli, Luo Shi looked excitedly at the young girls around her. They all looked pretty good, so she couldn't help but tugged at Su Ruoli's sleeves and muttered, "I see those girls It's all very good, why don't you just mention it to Mo'er?"

Su Ruoli also had this intention, and hurriedly nodded, "Mother, wait a minute, let me go up and chat with those girls."

This means to first listen to how these girls themselves are doing.

Although family status is what counts as a relative, character is the first to bear the brunt.

Su Ruoli pulled Gu Xueniang to go, but Luo Shi wandered around in the crowd on his own initiative. Not long after, she was suddenly attracted by a figure standing under a plum tree.

The girl was tall and slender, with her black hair hanging down, she was looking up at the yellow plum tree quietly.

Luo Shi stood behind him and looked at him carefully. He had a thin waist and fat buttocks. He was not fat, but he looked strong, unlike Su Ruoli, who would be blown away by a gust of wind.Looks like a good breed.

With a tall stature, her fat grandson will be a tall man by then.

Luo Shi was overjoyed, those girls just now looked good, but their bodies were a bit thin, if this girl was assigned to her family, Mo'er, it would be a good idea.
