Chapter 1393 Reprimand
Fortunately, Dou was smart and didn't bluntly admit the generation gap between his second son and Lan'er in front of Matchmaker Li.
She thought for a moment, then smiled and said to Matchmaker Li, "My husband and I have already discussed Lan'er's marriage, and we want to make a marriage arrangement for her together. Unfortunately, my husband has gone to court and has to come back at noon. Look, if this is not the case, please allow me to discuss it with my husband and give you an answer in three days.”
"The girl's family is very delicate and precious. We should not agree too quickly when proposing marriage. It is only right to delay for a few days. Madam Rong, I will leave now and come back in three days." Matchmaker Li said with a smile, then stood up and left. .
After Matchmaker Li came out of Rong's house, she went to Prince An's Mansion to reply.
When Zhuo learned about it, she said, "I know, Matchmaker Li, you are lucky." She signaled the maid to hand a red envelope to Matchmaker Li.
It’s the cost of today’s hard work.
After Matchmaker Li left, Mrs. Zhuo hurriedly went to find Xia Zihan, mentioned the matter, and then said, "Ayu, what do you mean by this girl Dou Da? Why didn't you agree?"
< br>
"It's not that I don't agree, mother. Our family suddenly went to Rong's house to propose marriage. We didn't even say hello to Dou Da in advance. Dou Da may have been frightened."
After all, the second child and Lan'er are separated by generations and are relatives. It's strange that Dou, who has always been a well-behaved person, was not frightened.
As Xia Zihan guessed, Dou Da was really frightened. As soon as Matchmaker Li left, she hurriedly arranged a carriage and went to Dou's house alone, asking her mother, Mrs. Dou, to give her an idea.
"Mom, tell me, why did the princess fall in love with Lan'er? Lan'er and the second child are of different generations. This marriage..."
She didn't even dare to think about it. Unexpectedly, the princess invited matchmaker Li to propose marriage. This was a big bomb for her.
She was so blown away that she was dizzy.
Mrs. Dou was shocked at first, but then gradually calmed down, and after thinking about it carefully, she said, "Although Lao Er and Lan'er are different in generation, there are several generations between them. At their generation, basically Nothing more.”
"Besides, there are many such things in the capital. We are neither the first nor the last. If others can do it, so can our Lan'er."
The most important thing is that the Dou family also wants to marry the Chu family to make the relationship between the two families closer. However, the Chu family only has one child in this generation, Chu Jingqi, who is several years younger than the youngest daughter of the Dou family, Dou Si.
The second and third oldest children are even smaller.
Well now, Mrs. Zhuo has taken a fancy to Lan'er. Although Lan'er is only the granddaughter of the Dou family, the relationship between the two families has become closer.
"Mom, is this really possible?" Dou Da hesitated, not knowing whether to agree or not.
Dr. Dou said, "It's a pie in the sky. Do you have to give up this piece of pie to others for some unimportant reasons?"
"You have to know that the men in Anjun Prince's Palace are famously infatuated in the capital. Not to mention that the Chu family has a family rule that 'men are not allowed to take concubines', and they are not even allowed to have a common room."
"Look at the entire capital, is there another family as good as the Chu family?"
"Which of the young masters and gentlemen in the capital does not have three wives and four concubines, holding each other in his arms?"
"Even your father has several intercourse partners, and your brothers have many intercourse girls. But look at Chu Jingqi, the third child, and your cousin. Which one has intercourse? "Because of this, the girls in the capital are all trying to get into the Chu family. Unfortunately, the door of the Chu family is not that easy to get in. "
"Look at what Dou Si's sister-in-law did yesterday in order to please your cousin. It really brought shame on the Li family. But did you see what Mrs. Li said?"
"Mrs. Li even asked Dou Si to take Miss Li Qi to Princess Chu Yu."
"Fortunately, Chu Yu is not a person who can't carry things clearly. He immediately refused Miss Li Qi's approach."
"The Li family didn't even give up their face in order to be in-laws with the Chu family. You silly girl. The Chu family took the initiative to propose marriage to the Rong family. You are still hesitating here. If you continue to hesitate, I'm afraid the second son will marry someone else." ”
"If you push such a good son-in-law to others, are you worthy of Lan'er?"
"You have to know that since your cousin broke the news that she was going to show her daughter-in-law to the second son, every girl in the capital who has not yet been engaged wants to enter the Chu family's door to please your cousin. If it weren't for the Chu family, The threshold is high and they can’t get in. There were only a dozen girls at the flower viewing party yesterday.”
I'm afraid hundreds of girls can have it.
After being severely scolded by his own mother, Dou Da felt ashamed and said with a sigh, "I...I didn't think about it that much. I just thought about the generation difference between my second son and Lan'er. How could there be anything else?" Think about other things.”
Then he said, "Mom, okay, please stop scolding me. After I go back, I will ask Lan'er what she means. If Lan'er agrees, I will agree. But if Lan'er doesn't want to, I won't force her. ”
"That's about it." Mrs. Dou breathed a sigh of relief, "However, if Lan'er is unwilling, you should also persuade her. You know, it is not easy to find such a good man from the Chu family. Now, people If it is brought to her, if she doesn't take it, she will give someone else an advantage. Then Miss Li Qi is just waiting for the matchmaker from the Chu family to come. "
"I know." Dou Da responded.
Mrs. Dou was still worried and muttered, "Lan'er is still young and hasn't thought about it completely. You have to tell her some things. If you don't tell her, she will miss it in vain if she can't think of it."
"Yeah, Mom, I remember it. How about, Mom, you come with me back to Rong's house. If Lan'er doesn't want to, you can work with me to persuade her." Dou Da was really being talked about by my mother. I had no choice but to drag my mother back to Rong's house.
Mrs. Dou was also worried that Dou Da would mess up the matter and miss such a good son-in-law like her second son. For the sake of her daughter and granddaughter, Mrs. Dou immediately went to Rong's house with Dou Da.
Fortunately, the two families were not far apart. They arrived in less than half an hour by carriage.
Rong Lan'er is delicate and sweet, and she felt grateful and guilty when she learned that her grandmother had been specially made to make a trip for her marriage.
"Grandma, you drink tea, mother, you drink tea too." After the two elders sat down, Rong Laner poured a cup of tea for each of them with her own hands and placed it in their hands.
Mrs. Dou said with a smile, "Lan'er, don't be busy. Grandma is here because she has something to ask you."
"When will it happen, grandma, please tell me." Rong Laner sat down and listened with her head down.
Dou Da sent all the maids and women in the house out. When there were only three people in the house, the grandfather and grandson, Dou Da told the second son about the marriage proposal.
