The twenty-seventh round

Gu Chong asked, Fan thought about it, and told all the twists and turns of his niece's marriage. At the end, he said: "I think the eldest brother and sister-in-law are too pitiful, and they have the hearts of their parents, but they didn't expect to meet such a family." It's okay to retire now. The Fan family's roots were not in the capital, and it might be easier to go back to the south to find a desirable home for their niece. It's just that I can't swallow this breath at all. It's just that Emperor Shizu Zhongxing was in the past, and they happened to be subordinates, and they picked up some credit from the dragon. In the past few decades, what has he done to the court, how can he dare to be so rude to the Fan family? When the trouble came out, the fourth uncle was still standing firmly in the court! Although the lobby brother resigned, the people of the government and the opposition were not bad. It's just that the sister-in-law's family is not down, but isn't the Duke Mansion of Qi a serious relative? Aren't the four kings, the eighth dukes, and the seventeenth marquis all in one place? Just raise their feet and step on people's faces, and they are not afraid of the chill of the people watching from the side?"

Seeing that she was angry, Gu Chong was not busy comforting, stood up, went to the table and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Fan. Fan Shi took it, raised his hand and drank it all in one go, his mind calmed down a little, and he looked at Gu Chong and said, "Why don't you speak?

Gu Chong smiled at this time: "Didn't you finish speaking?" He also poured a cup of tea in his hand, and said slowly: "Pingyuan Hou Jiang's family, Jiang Hong was outstanding at the beginning, his son, now Pingyuan Hou Jiang Lan Jiang Hui is a mediocre person, Jiang Zining is called a young man and surpasses his father, and he has only been in the limelight once in the suburbs, and he has never heard of anything else." It's just that as you said, the four kings, eight dukes and seventeen princes in the capital, are connected in series, advance and retreat consistently, although they are less than a hundred years old, and the reproduction of several generations is also lush and intertwined. And with the title of the ancestors, even if it decreases from generation to generation, the children of the family always have no worries about food and clothing, and sure enough, the future is smoother than that of ordinary people. At the beginning, Jiang Hong personally proposed marriage for his second grandson, and his eldest brother allowed him to marry his niece, but it was not a mistake to make a decision. ”

Fan said: "According to what the old man said, even if he Jiang Hong is a good one." But you see that the Jiang family is acting now, and there is still a little bit of decency? Let's talk about how Jiang Zi'an is a bastard, just slandering his niece, there is really no one in his eyes. ”

Gu Chong nodded and said, "That's it, what the eldest brother did, although reckless, was also reasonable and temperamental. The eldest nephew's daughter is already pitiful when she encounters such a family, but the other daughters of the Fan family will not be wronged much because of someone's open eyes. ”

Fan sighed when he heard this, and said, "What the master said is exact. But I only pity the eldest niece. The old man Wen has also seen it, her character, appearance and temperament, which one is not good? The Jiang family can get it, that is their creation, they are not satisfied, and they are still ruined like this!" Speaking of this, Fan himself felt that it was wrong, frowned and asked: "If you want to say that the Jiang family has a good face, if you are not good, you should bite others first, but the reputation of Wen girl is bad, can they be good as in-laws? It's like they want to get out of the marriage, just waiting for a reason here. ”

Gu Chong nodded and said, "Mrs., this is finally to the point." ”

Fan Shi was taken aback, hurriedly raised his eyes to look at Gu Chong, and said, "What? What's going on? Don't sell Guanzi, master, say it quickly!"

Gu Chong took another sip of tea, and asked: "Mrs. also heard what I just said, it was Jiang Hong who asked for Wen's niece for his second grandson, not Jiang Lan." According to what I saw when I was in Beijing, Jiang Lan was mediocre and unliterate, and he was most impatient to associate with Wenchen. If it weren't for the reason, Jiang Lan would never think that his daughter-in-law would marry from a family like the Fan family. You can see Jiang Zining's wife's background. It's a one. The second case is Jiang Zining. Doesn't the wife know that Jiang Zining has been married for five years, and there is no such thing as a son and a half daughter under his knees?"

Fan was stunned when he heard this, and it took a long time before he suddenly became like Su, and asked Gu Chong: "However, I have also heard that he has a child in his family before, and Wen'er also asked me about the embroidery of the handkerchief in my purse, but I don't have to support any of them?" Although this military merit title is declining from generation to generation, to his generation, if there is no shade, he is just a mere eunuch, and it is not worth much face, but in the end, it is also a background, and it is thousands of times stronger than those who can't even get this point. Jiang Zining has not had a son and a half daughter for several years, but the Fan family has always been prosperous, and most of the daughters of the Fan family are well-born. Jiang Zining was reluctant to let this title fall on his nephew's head, so he really used a lot of heart to take precautions - it's just that he shouldn't have used a plan with a clear conscience on Wen Yatou!"

Gu Chong hurriedly said: "Mrs. Mo is angry, it's not worth it to hurt your body when you are angry." As he spoke, he reached out to stroke Fan's back, and listened to her breathe a little easier, and then said: "Just like what Mrs. said before, such a family, it is a waste for the nephew to really marry in, or to find a good family outside the capital and around the hometown in the south, so as to be worthy of the hard work and upbringing of my uncle and wife over the years." ”

Fan's husband cared for her, and her anger disappeared after a while, but she was worried and said, "The master is too light. Although Wen is good, but this is a retreat, and a delay, the age is here, how can there be a good one when you are idle? Sure enough, if you want to be low, not to mention that the eldest brother and sister-in-law can't get over it in their hearts, how can we, the elder relatives, know the short and long inside story, how can we see that she is either married to a businesswoman, or a house for others, and a stepmother?"

Before Gu Chong could say anything, Fan himself was stunned. After being bored for a long time, he suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Ah, this is not a ready-made person, I actually forgot it?" While his eyes were full of smiles, he grabbed Gu Chong's hand and asked: "Brother You of the Zhang family, what does the master think? He is not married now, and he and Wen Yatou are not a match made in heaven? He is also the same age, and his identity is not bad-that Zhang You is not a Xiucai test? And the Zhang and Fan families are both scholarly families, and there is no longer long-winded pickling on the side!"

Gu Chong frowned when he heard her words, but when he saw Fan Shi talking to himself all the way, he stopped in a panic and said, "Are you a little faint? Didn't you say a long time ago that you were impatient to be a matchmaker with others, why did you suddenly think of this?"

Fan asked, "Isn't this a bad idea?"

Gu Chong said: "Does this idea feel good? Not to mention, the Zhang family is after Wenxuan Gong, although there is only one generation of people, but the Wenhua Gong school journal is righteous and determines the orthodoxy of Wendao, which can be regarded as the teacher of the world, who is disrespectful? Zhang You is the eldest son of the eldest son of the family tree in his lineage, and he inherits the ancestor. Although the niece is the daughter of the uncle and his wife here, the patriarch of the Fan family is still in the same line as his father-in-law and uncle. If you want to match the chapter, your niece and nephew can say that this niece is a little inferior. ”

Fan glared at him and said, "The master doesn't know that I don't have a niece and nephew, and my cousin's daughter is the same as my niece and nephew in my eyes?" Besides, although this chapter is the heir, it is not the Hong family's sister-in-law, and she has married another one before. Wen girl's family is raised by her grandchildren, and her parents look at her like eyeballs, what is there to give him?"

Gu Chong shook his head and only said, "This can't be done." Although the niece is good, she is the daughter of the fourth room. Seeing that Fan's mouth was about to be argued, he hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't worry, listen to me first." The niece belongs to your fourth uncle's family, although she grew up in front of her grandparents, in the end, he is the only one in the capital, and no matter how large the population is, it is limited. The Zhang family is a large population, and several generations have lived in one place. If the niece marries in the past, she will be the great-grandson and daughter-in-law, the upper three layers of in-laws, and countless sisters-in-law on the left and right, entering and exiting a courtyard every day, one eaves is blocked, and there are many people with many eyes and many mouths, but the niece and nephew can cope with it? Not to mention that in the future, as a clan wife, the livelihood of hundreds of people in a family will have to pass through her hands and eyes. Can you think of this for your niece?"

When Fan heard him say this, he already beat a drum in his heart: she was originally the youngest daughter in the family, her mother was shrewd and capable, and several eldest sisters-in-law were also extraordinary, and she was very good at housework, and she didn't have to worry about it at all before she got married. When she wants to get out of the cabinet, Gu Chong is her parents, brother and sister-in-law, although she is a son of the Gu family and has married a house before, but her character and talents are all excellent, and she is a real young man, a close minister of the Son of Heaven. And because he was concentrating on studying, he had his father Gu Ge and his old relatives to put in a separate courtyard, and did not mix with the people in the house; when the Fan family got married, it was a separate courtyard and a self-directed door, and later with Gu Chong's foreign appointment, not to mention the good and bad things on the side, the family affairs were on the daily basis, and there was really no trace of involuntary suffering. At this time, Gu Conflict suddenly mentioned it, and Fan Shi had no words to answer. It's just that her temperament is a little stronger, although she thinks that Gu Chong is reasonable, she still has to say: "Women in the world, which one doesn't start step by step from the great-granddaughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law? If there is anything that cannot be dealt with, it is enough to learn to deal with it little by little. ”

Gu Chong couldn't help but smile when he heard that her tone had softened, but then he shook his head a few times and said, "What Mrs. said was originally right, but the daughter-in-law of the world may not be able to be taught by her mother-in-law." This is especially true of the Zhang family. ”

Fan immediately said: "Master, what are these words? If Wen girl marries in the past, she will be my daughter-in-law of the Hong family." I don't know about others, what do I don't know about her? Why can't the most enthusiastic and kind person in the world teach Wen Yatou?"

Gu Chong said: "I know that you are good with the younger brothers and sisters of the Yang family, and I also know that she is the most thoughtful and proper person." But madam, have you forgotten the reaction of Mrs. Wang's own family when she first learned about Zhang Wang's wife's background? Mrs. repeatedly did not believe the daughter of a pharmacist and a mere Xiucai family, and described her temperament, and she actually suppressed how many officials and ladies who were born in the family of three or four serious civil ministers and military generals. Naturally, there is the contribution of his old lady and Wu Taijun to the recuperation here, but we also know that she is different from her own background. It's just that how many people in the outside are able to put aside their family backgrounds and look at the real words and deeds with their eyes first? If they can't do that, they can't help but despise them first, and if they have contempt and contempt, they will never be able to mention the matter of being sincerely taught. Besides, my uncle and sister-in-law, my wife thought I could not be scrupulous? When my uncle resigned, he was already in the fourth grade, and the fourth uncle was in the third grade, and the sister-in-law was also from a famous family, and there was also the aunt and aunt of the old lady of the Duke of Qi. Yang Zhi and his wife are official and have no titles. If you really want to be a relative, don't say it to Yang Zhi and his wife, uncle and sister-in-law here, can the wife get it accurately?"

When Fan Shi heard this, his face was already embarrassed, and he only argued strongly: "Master, this is also thinking too much. The origin of the sister of the Hong family is also everyone, which is the local Yizhen Hong family in Yangzhou. It's just that her father sent a branch of Yanling from Yangzhou. And although her father was in business, he received medicinal herbs to help the people in need. There is no need to mention the kindness and generosity on weekdays, just when he helped Guan Mengke compile the "Materia Medica", it was a great merit of the first class, and even the imperial court explicitly rewarded him, who could be disrespectful? That's why I said that the lord thought too much. Anyway, I see that the girl Wen and the brother of the Zhang family are destined, and the more the master says, the more I understand this idea - it just so happens that my sister-in-law will invite relatives and friends to come over tomorrow to appreciate the two different lotus flowers, and when she sees the real sister of the Hong family, she will know what is wrong. I will find a time to talk to my eldest brother and sister-in-law. The master just waited for me to take it and drink Xie Wen's wine. ”

Gu Chong saw that she was resolute, but there was more room in her words than before, and she couldn't help but be really funny. It's just that the words have been spoken, and when the reminders have been indicated, Gu Chong will not say more. Moreover, in terms of selfishness, in the end, it is the in-laws who are close friends, and he himself hopes that this pair of children can do good things. So he said a few more words along with Fan's, and couldn't help but point out her speech skills - but was scolded by Fan's "The older you are, the more mother-in-law you become" and blasted out of the room. Gu Chong was helpless, so he had to find his uncle Fan Chengqian to eat and drink.

If you want to know whether the marriage between the Fan and Zhang families can be completed, what will happen to the Fan family to enjoy the flowers the next day, and what will happen next, let's see the next decomposition.
