The 28th dragon scale (I)

On the Bank of the midsummer River, a pool of new lotus blossoms, and the flowers and bones reveal a little pink fragrance. Just wait for the cicadas on the tree to shout louder and the condensed heat in the air to transpiration more, and then they will open. In Su's house, the old lady of the Su family is talking with the old lady of the Chu family who has come to propose marriage.

The old lady of the Su family has a granddaughter raised under her lap. Her only granddaughter died early. The only granddaughter has become her heart and soul. Now it's fifteen. It's time to say a kiss. But she can't make a decision about the marriage. I always felt that this was not good enough and that was not good enough. It seemed to her that she was small enough to match the best man in the world. But when she was older, she could not compare with her eldest son's desire for profit. She was just thinking of giving the exquisite with world-class beauty to a noble person in exchange for her own broad road.

Mrs. Su is her stepdaughter. When she married into the Su family, she only gave birth to a daughter. Her daughter died early and left her only such a granddaughter. Master Su's original match gave birth to two sons. After she married in, old lady Su didn't say how close she was to them, but she didn't discuss them. Her relationship with each other was light. Later, when Mrs. Su's only daughter died, she overcame public opinion and brought her granddaughter back to raise her. However, as she grew older, the girl became more and more beautiful. Mrs. Su was a little flustered, especially when Linglong, the son of her two stepsons, wanted to call her cousin. Several young men looked at her with hot eyes.

She doesn't want Linglong to marry the Su family. The Su family is the coldest. Her small Linglong shouldn't marry an unkind person like her and live an unkind life.

Mrs. Su hasn't had a few happy days in her life. At the age of 15 or 16, when she was the same age as Hua Hua, she naturally looked forward to marrying a good man as most girls in the boudoir - but she finally married old master Su, a man who had married and even remained faithful to his wife until her death.

In fact, Mrs. Su really wants to ask the old lady Su who died long ago. Since you love her, why do you marry me? Since you marry me, why don't you treat me well? Sleep and sleep, and the child is born, but in the end? Finally, because of the pain of Acacia, he died early, leaving an empty shell in Bo's house and leaving all the burden to old lady su.

Mrs. Su's daughter married well. Although she only married a scholar, her husband and wife loved Qin, Se and Ming. It's a pity that her son-in-law died young in an accident when he went out to meet guests. Her daughter died of worry and illness soon, leaving only a little girl who didn't speak clearly.

Mrs. Su took her back and raised her up to now. Naturally, love is like treasure. This is her only blood in the world. Now the Su family has fallen, and the title of loyal uncle is just to see. Although the great master of the Su family inherited the title, he has no real power. He simply got into power and tried to get promoted, But he has no ability, and his character is not good. Let alone promotion, it is his fortune to continue to sit in the position of loyal uncle.

So he put his mind on his niece who had just reached the hairpin and was as beautiful as heaven. His half sister gave birth to a daughter. After eating so many years of food in the Su family, how can he repay one or two? Other people don't say, just give it to any noble person with exquisite appearance, and he can rise to a higher level.

It was when she saw the mind of the cheap eldest son that old lady Su was anxious to marry Linglong. She met many people and finally decided to be Chu Xun of the Chu family.

Chu Xun is just 18 this year and should have been married long ago. Moreover, he is talented. At the age of 12, he was hit by a child student, and at the age of 16, he was picked up. But later, Chunwei had a disease and couldn't catch up. Now it's time to wait for Qiuwei. Old lady Su saw the child and felt that she was as gentle as jade and polite to advance and retreat. The Chu family is an ordinary rich family and has no complex interpersonal relationships, Linglong can live well if she marries.

In addition, Mrs. Chu has a good character. Choosing a grandson-in-law for her granddaughter depends not only on the man's character, but also on the man's family. Mrs. Su thinks the Chu family is the most suitable. After discussing with Mrs. Chu, both sides intend to exchange Geng tie today. Even if the marriage is settled, no matter whether Chu ten days can be listed or not after Qiuwei, The marriage will go on as scheduled.

In fact, Mrs. Su wanted to keep her granddaughter for a while, but she was really afraid that her stepson sent Linglong out when she didn't pay attention. She was old and couldn't control it. She had to tell Linglong to stay with her all the time and not to go anywhere else.

Old lady Chu also met Linglong. She thought she was knowledgeable, polite, gentle and virtuous. She couldn't find any other shortcomings except her appearance. It was also their honor to marry this granddaughter-in-law, so both sides were very happy.

It's said that they got married after Qiuwei, but now it's midsummer. Linglong should embroider wedding clothes for herself. Today is the exchange of Geng tie. Anyway, we should let the future unmarried couple meet. Therefore, today is also the first time Linglong has seen Chu Xun.

He was tall, handsome and dressed in blue robes. He looked gentle and elegant, and his eyes were gentle and firm. Ordinary people would certainly like him when they met him at the first sight.

The two unmarried couples were driven to wander around the house. Now they are facing this pool of new lotus, which is very beautiful in the wind.

Linglong stretched out her hand to reach for a lotus. Unfortunately, she was too far away. Chu Xun came for her and asked, "Miss, but do you want it?"

Linglong smiled at him. She was very beautiful. Chu ten days was almost dazzled by the bright face. Fortunately, he calmed down quickly and broke a lotus for her. Linglong held the lotus in her hand, lowered her head and asked, "is childe Chu still satisfied with this marriage?"

Chu Xun said, "I'm satisfied." Linglong asked again, "since you are satisfied, childe Chu will treat me well in the future, won't you?" Chu Xun nodded: "this is nature." Linglong smiled again and didn't speak. She peeled off the unopened flower buds layer by layer with her slender jade like fingers, and Chu ten days' sight condensed on her beautiful hand. I don't know why, watching her slowly peel off the petals, revealing the tender and fragile core inside. In a trance, Chu ten days had the feeling that he was stripped and seen through. Then Linglong didn't ask him a word. When they went back, the old ladies of the two families talked happily and were very satisfied with the marriage. After seeing Mrs. Chu off, Mrs. Su hung the jade pendant as a keepsake on her exquisite waist, took her little granddaughter into her arms, comforted her and said, "do you think the marriage chosen by her grandmother is not good?" Linglong shook her head: "I listened to my grandmother's choice." Mrs. Su touched her head and said earnestly, "gaomen has wealth and honor, but gaomen has difficulties in marrying. If longer is wronged, grandma can't ask for justice for you. Although the Chu family is only an ordinary family, the old master of Chu abandoned literature and went into business. He raised the status of all businessmen. The old lady of Chu is also a scholar. In this way, the children taught by others will not be bad. Their family has no relatives and a simple population. If Long'er marries in, he won't have any trouble. " Linglong said, "grandma won't hurt me. I'll listen to you." Old lady Su met Chu Xun today. She was very satisfied with his speech, temperament and appearance. Even high-ranking families may not be able to find such a good son. She just had a long dream. She was still afraid that uncle Su would make Linglong's idea, but she wouldn't tell Linglong. She was afraid that Linglong would panic and be afraid if she knew. She can only stare more carefully. After talking with Mrs. Su for a while, Linglong returned to her yard. The maid Narcissus said, "look, my aunt is very good in the future, and she speaks kindly. I can rely on her for the rest of my life." The maidservant felt happy for the young lady she served, but Linglong smiled without saying anything. Have you relied on for the rest of your life? I'm afraid it's not a talisman! Chu Xun's character is good. He abides by his vows and promises, and will not change if he recognizes it. It's a pity that the other party is not Linglong, but his childhood neighbor's girl. The neighbor girl had a gambling father who sold her daughter for money. Fortunately, the girl was clever and tried to find a way to deliver the news to Chu Xun in the kiln. Chu Xun hid her. Just before the two families were engaged, he had a close relationship with the girl! Can the Chu family know? Nature knows! But they think Chu Xun just went astray for a while. It's good to wait until he becomes a family! So he forced Chu ten days to get married. Just at this time, old lady Su also wanted to find a reliable grandson-in-law. The two families simply hit it off! But the Chu family hid the story of Chu ten day with the neighbor's girl. They forced Chu ten day to break up with someone. Chu ten day promised on the surface, but secretly went out with each other. If Linglong remembered correctly, the girl happened to be pregnant. Can you imagine that when she married Chu and gave birth to the eldest son for Chu Xun, Chu Xun told her that he had another feeling of love? Even the woman outside gave birth to a child a full year older than her son! What does that prove? That proves that they were pregnant before they got married! But what can she do? I'm married. My grandmother is in poor health. She can't tell the old man the truth. The old man thought she was living a happy life. The son was also born. If she turned around and left, could the Chu family let her take the child away? Of course not. So there is no other way but to endure. However, old lady Chu still has scruples in one day and ten days. Once old lady Chu dies, who else can take care of him? The Chu family was already his master. Later, he ranked No. 1 in high school in Qiuwei. He was very happy. What about a woman? As long as you don't say, who knows that woman has been in the brothel? The abacus is very good, Linglong thought. Isn't this a bright marriage fraud? It's a pity that after being cheated, there's no way but to bite your teeth and recognize it. But if you admit it, others may not be able to let you go. Chu Xun married her just to hide people's eyes and ears. When the time came, he naturally wanted to say it.
