第十二章 亲事(上)(2 / 2)

荣寿堂终是熄灯安谧下来,二爷的东跨院里却将闹开。

月华阁里,行明正哭得上气儿不接下气儿,便将揪在手上的帕子扔在地上,边哭说:“我不嫁到黄家去!谁爱嫁谁去嫁!黄家能是个好的吗?祖上是个货郎担!这两代才有了出息就开始不得了了!什么东西!”

“看你这撒泼的模样!又像个大家娘子了!?亲事从来都是父母之命,哪里轮得到个小娘子来说嘴!还不是父母让你嫁谁,你不就得嫁谁…”二夫人扶着额头,扳着指头和行明细细数:“你看,我们贺家是门楣高,但你爹是个什么官儿啊?是封爵了还是入阁了?好点的人家凭什么不要贺行昭来要你?黄家是根基浅,根基浅也有根基浅的好处,只要贺家在一天,他们就一天不敢怠慢你…”

旁边的刘妈妈捡起来帕子放在黄梨木小案上,又拧干了帕子边给行明擦着脸,边说:“我的姑娘诶!您见过哪家的太太夫人还和小娘子商量亲事的?这是夫人心疼您呢!”

行明语塞,温水擦在脸上,气却堵在心里头,深感黄家不是个好去处,又不好将宴上黄三娘的话说出来,一抬手将刘妈妈的手打落,哭成个泪人儿:“母亲哪儿是心疼我!是将我往火坑里推!行昭若是平嫁,嫁的也是勋贵世家,若是高嫁就嫁成皇室媳妇儿了!这我不敢肖想,可是我也不嫁个自以为是的货郎担!”

二夫人怒极反笑,站起了身,踱步边说:“好好好!我是那坏心的后娘,竟将女儿嫁到那火坑里去!”

刘妈妈劝完这边劝那边,叹口气:“三姑娘这是拿话戳你娘的心窝子!何况说亲说亲,不到处看看说说,亲事哪里来啊?”

行明听话听音,赶忙抬头问:“那和黄家的事儿还做不得准?”

“现在肯定做不了准啊!是黄夫人开的头,约定过两日就和二夫人去定国寺上香,顺道相看相看,相看不行,还不是做不得数。”刘妈妈向行明使着眼色,示意她哄哄二夫人。

行明却从话里听出了其他的意思,冷笑一声:“黄家起的头儿…我便知道他们家不怀好意,攀不上大房就来攀我们二房,没有鱼,虾也好,他们倒是打的一手好算盘!”

二夫人轻叹一声,想起来贺二爷贺环的不着调,又想起将才她不过是和贺环商量着说,黄家隐隐约约有个想结亲的意思。贺环倒是喜笑颜开地一口应允,谁不晓得,他不过是看在黄大爷身在户部,又善钻营,这几年的官运亨通,黄老爷子又会投机,家财不少。

“你没有亲生兄弟,往后也没个人帮你出头撑腰,大房虽然亲,终究是隔了一层。我帮你说亲事的时候,就往下面看看,你低嫁过去,别人好歹不敢怠慢你。女人娘家硬,在夫家也能说上话。”二夫人颇有心力交瘁之感,贺环无子,说话间常常怪到她身上来。她在外人面前做出蛮横精干的样子,遇上贺环,也总是觉得自己理亏。

行明抽泣着擦干了泪,二房的情况她也不是不晓得,摇着二夫人的手:“我恼的不是低嫁不低嫁的。是不乐意嫁到黄家去,门楣低的人家多了去了,哪里一定要和黄家相看…”

“黄家哪里不好?是读书人家里难得又有经商的,嫁人嫁人吃饭穿衣。黄家家底厚,不用一家人跟狼似的盯着你嫁妆。黄家小郎是嫡出长子,又是廪生,现在在国子监读书,前途不可限量。黄夫人瞧着又会做人,是个和气人儿,不像是会拿捏媳妇的婆婆。算过来算过去,黄家是今儿个堂会里最合适的人家了。”二夫人越想越觉得好,喝了口清茶,将天青色旧窑茶盅轻搁下,刚准备启唇又说,却听得红烛“嘣”的一声响,不禁笑逐颜开:“灯花爆,好事到!”

行明听母亲说得愈加兴起,心头一急,也顾不得那么多了:“您,婆婆好不好算到了,郎君好不好也算到了,怎么就没算到黄家有个刻薄势力的小姑子呢。”

二夫人顿时一愣,倒是刘妈妈边拿银签子去挑灯花,边问:“三姑娘这是个什么说法?”

行明一撇嘴,看着烛火往东一闪,又往西一回,冷声说:“黄三娘今儿个在宴上说我虽然是姓贺的,却不比正经的贺家人有体面,人家瞧不上咱,咱们又何必那热脸去…去..哼”

终是临安侯府养大的,教养让她不能说下去了,只轻哼一声,转过头不再看那烛火。

二夫人这才听明白,一壁又舍不得因为一个要嫁出去的小姑子坏了这门好亲事,一壁又咽不下黄三娘的话,蹙着眉头,久久不语,行明等了半晌才听到二夫人说:“罢了罢了,累了一天先睡了,明儿个一早就去给太夫人问安,太夫人总能拿个主意。”
