The two of them went to the study to sit down, and Gu Chong said to Fan Chengyan: "It's not that I don't feel sorry for my niece and daughter, or that I look down on the Fan family even though I am the son-in-law of the Fan family." I don't think this family affair will be successful. ”

When Fan Chengyan heard his first sentence, his heart was half cold. Gu Chong said in detail, and said: "People in the world get married, but they help the two surnames and reproduce their children. The eldest brother in the vanguard should inherit the Jiang family, or some people still have something to say, in my opinion, it is to learn from each other's strengths, which can be called stable and thoughtful. One is the descendant of the Plains Marquis, even if there are no outstanding talents in the house, they have no worries about food and clothing; the other is that the Plains Marquis is a military general, who has basic connections in the army, the criminal department and the internal guard, and several nephews take the road of criminal name, and they must not be supported accordingly. Since the eldest brother's choice of wife is from Wenchen's scholarly family, it is natural to have this care in choosing a son-in-law - after all, the fourth uncle is here at his age, and we, as parents, should always be thoughtful for the juniors. ”

When Fan Chengge heard this, he couldn't help but be ashamed: "In the end, I am incompetent, and I can't protect my children and grandchildren." Otherwise, although your sister-in-law is the matchmaker, you will not be so attentive and let the child suffer in the end. ”

Gu Chong said: "This matter must be blamed on the eldest brother, I only hate the Jiang family." Fortunately, it is better to see the opportunity early, otherwise, it will be more and more difficult to clean up. It's just that I still say the same thing, this person, or the wrong choice at the beginning, but this way of choosing a son-in-law, the eldest brother is not wrong at all, and he is really good for his nephews and nieces. But now, the Jiang family has given up, and the eldest brother listened to his sister's idea and looked at the Zhang family, isn't this going back to the old road? Now the nephews are still young, and his few fathers-in-law are not visible, the fourth uncle is the first year this year, and there are a few commemorative memories in the court of the capital, and no one will be immediately embarrassed for a while, but it will be difficult to say after a long time. On my side, I'm the most useless, my father-in-law is also early, and the fourth uncle is now in Shonan, and he can't reach the whip in Beijing. If there is really some trick - this one, isn't the eldest brother afraid?"

Fan Chengyan listened to him, was silent for a few breaths, and then said proudly: "What if you are afraid? Besides, it's not our family's fault, it's his Pingyuan Hou Jiang family's fault." As for the future of the children, the road under the world, in the final analysis, they will come out by themselves, and there is no reason for their parents and elders to protect them for a lifetime. If he can't stand up on his own, and he has to point to his relatives, I will be considered to have wasted these twenty or thirty years of hard work, so it is better to simply run into death. ”

When Gu Chong saw him say two words, he couldn't suppress his anger again, and said with a smile: "The nephews are naturally good." I'm just worried, I'm afraid that they will be young, and they will have less care from their superiors, and more of those unnecessary tribulations. In addition, in addition to this article, if the eldest brother really intends to see the Zhang family, there is one more thing that must be crossed in his heart first - although Zhang You is the heir of Zhang Yangzhi, and the order is long, he is not outstanding in schoolwork. I have also read a lot of his window classes and assignments, and he is stable and stable, but he should have seven points of certainty in fighting a person, but maybe that's it. If the niece and daughter really allowed his family, compared with the previous one, that is Mrs. Bofu, and this is a lady who lifts people, how can she get by in her heart? What will the sister-in-law think? It is a matter of the child's life, and it is not a negative sentence that only asks for food and clothing can get by. That's where I said this family affair was not good. ”

Fan Chengyan sighed when he heard this, and said, "Wen Ling's words today really used our hearts for us. So he shook Gu Chong's hand and said: "Wen Ling and Zhang Yangzhi have a good relationship, and they are willing to plan for me like this, which is a real family relationship." Wen Ling is frank and straightforward, and I don't need to be vague - Wen'er here, her mother and I are heartbroken, but I don't dare to really find a simple and cold scholar family to marry. is not afraid that the child will suffer hardships, but is afraid that everything will be low, but it makes people have hearts and make mistakes, and give birth to those pickled and dirty thoughts, which despises the good girl, and humiliates the character of the Fan family in vain. So when the eighth sister talked about the Zhang family, the first thing I thought about was that I knew that his family would be at ease here. As for the future of the son-in-law, it is related to the child's life, so I naturally have to ask. It's just that compared to the reasonableness of the previous in-laws, the future is not so important - the child has a good character, the family is stable and harmonious, and they can work together with each other, and the future and the like will naturally be there. ”

Gu Chong said with a smile: "The eldest brother is happy and can see it thoroughly. ”

Fan Chengyan shook his head and said, "Where is my happiness? The old lady didn't listen to what he said. He sighed again and again. Gu Chong didn't answer. Fan Chengyan said again: "When it comes to lifting people, there is nothing wrong with this. How many first-class ladies in the world, and second-grade ladies in front of them are just lifting people and showing talents? Blossoming and fruiting, planting trees and educating people, you have to have this kind of work and patience. If you only stare at the present and can't see what will happen in ten or twenty years, you will not be short-sighted, and you will be said to be short-sighted. What's more, what kind of scholar is the Yanling Zhang family? The concubines of Jiangmen and the daughters of the Hou Mansion are all vying to be the ladies of his family, and we are climbing high to be able to rank with these people. ”

Gu Chong nodded, and said with a smile: "Uncle don't be so humble. It's a door-to-door match, and no one is climbing whom. ”

Fan Cheng said: "Wen Ling is good friends with his family, and it will definitely not be bad." I saw Zhang Yangzhi's youngest son Zhang Hui again today, and his brother saw his brother, and I had some count in my heart. It's just that my sister repeatedly described his identity as an heir, which always made me uneasy. Now I only ask Wen Ling to give me an accurate sentence before I can make up my mind. ”

Gu Chong sighed: "Isn't my uncle embarrassed me again?"

Fan Cheng said: "You also listened to me. I know all your concerns. You don't know what I'm in. You're just suing me for one or two real things. If you don't say it, you can ask someone else, it's just a big deal to spend my time. But why bother? In the end, it wasn't you, nor the eighth sister, or me and Wen'er's mother who made the final decision. ”

Gu Chong said: "In this way, I don't have anything else to say." This chapter is the heir and the eldest son of the family tree, the first one in the long room, you can rest assured of this. According to the rules of the Zhang family, men are not allowed to take concubines, widower children are not allowed to continue before the age of five, and orphans can be selected from among their relatives if they have no children at the age of forty. At that time, the younger siblings of the Yang family were misdiagnosed and it was difficult to succeed the heir, so in order to stabilize the family, they made an exception and chose the heir early. As for why he was chosen alone, let alone outsiders, there are still various legends in his own family. There are only two words I know, 'fate'. This chapter was just two years old when he was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Wang, and he was always taken with him, carefully raised, and no different from his own child; And this Zhang You and Zhang Hui brothers took different paths: Zhang Hui was stronger in terms of reading and learning, but Zhang You was good at business and knew general affairs. The Zhang family's ancestral hall, sacrificial fields, family schools and many livelihoods, Zhang Hui concentrated on studying, and he couldn't pay attention to it, but he was taken care of by Yangzhi. There is also the industry brought by Yang's younger siblings, and more than half of it is his daily host. Judging by his words and deeds, he is just a 'peaceful, steady, and smooth' just like those articles he has done; everything is not successful, although he is not brilliant, but he is a rare old man, and he never cares to pick on him, but others can't pick on him either. ”

Fan Cheng said with a smile: "The word 'stable' is easy to say, but difficult to do. What's more, it has to be a 'smooth'. And can make Wen Ling say that he is old, it can be seen that he is really calm and serious. Asked again: "What about the Miss Locke he married before?"

Gu Chong said: "The Luo family is not a big family, but it is a legend of Luo Sidao. Luo Sidao's teacher is Li Jing, and he is the marriage of Li Jingbao's big matchmaker. His wife and Li Jing's youngest daughter, Zhang Pei and Zhang Boyuan's Mrs. Li had a handkerchief relationship, so the Zhang and Luo families had a friendship. When Zhang You wanted to discuss marriage, Mrs. Li personally went to ask the old sister's granddaughter to be the eldest granddaughter-in-law. This Miss Luo is the only granddaughter of Luo Sidao, who has been particularly loved since she was a child, and it is said that she hesitated for a long time before agreeing to marry. Fortunately, there is harmony after marriage. But people often say that there are unforeseen circumstances, the two have been married for half a year, Luo Xidao contracted typhoid fever, his wife has a recurrence of wind disease, Luo is worried about his grandparents, and he went to take care of him, but in the end he could not keep it; but more than a month, the two went one after another. Luo Shi also became ill from hard work, and suddenly slipped the fetus, it turned out that she had a three-month body, but she didn't know all these things. So the double injuries were devastated, but at the same age as sixteen or seventeen years old, Jiaohua went. Speaking of which, it's not a blessing. He sighed again and again.

Fan Chengyan listened, and also accompanied Gu Chong to sigh a few words. Gu Chong said again: "Although the Luo family has not given birth to children, after all, the Ming media is marrying, and the name and surname are also recorded on the genealogy, according to the rules of the Zhang family, it is necessary to keep it for her for three years." This is also the affection of his husband and wife. However, Zhang You is the heir of the ancestor in the end, and he is the oldest in the long house, and the brothers and sisters behind him have to watch him when they get married. So more than half a year ago, Yang Zhi's younger siblings asked me several times, please be sure to pay attention, and say to her if there is almost a suitable one. The eldest brother also knows that she is born with such a warm temper towards her family, not to mention that she is the most affectionate sister in the past few years, and she is more and more interested. It's just that I didn't expect that she thought of her niece first. ”

Fan Cheng said: "Uncle, don't shake your head too busy, she is also for the good of the child." And after listening to Wen Ling's words, I understand more and more why she mentioned the chapter. Although there are several unsatisfactory points, there is nothing wrong with him. That's a rare thing to come by. It's just that it's a big deal, and I have to think about it more. Brother-in-law, don't laugh at me, the bow and snake shadow, the grass and trees are all soldiers. They both laughed. Fan Chengyan then ordered the little servant to go to the garden lake pavilion to set up wine, put Gu Chong's arm, and go to drink and sing together. Omitted.
