Chapter 268: An Restless Family Feast 1
One day, as usual, the family gathered for dinner, and Han Xu had not yet stayed in the Tang Mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was a beautiful thing of harmony, even Tang Xingzhi was in a good mood, and peacefully resolved the marriage contract with the Zhang family, plus the recent war was peaceful, a rare comfortable day.
On the contrary, some people can't see peace and tranquility, and there are branches!
Soon after the banquet began, Cheng's eyebrows and smiles at Tang Xing's eyebrows, and his tone was even more rare and gentle, that is, even Tang Ze, who has always been strict and scolding, is also caring and inquiring about his daily life, clearly showing a picture of father and son's filial piety.
So, Cheng's picky chopsticks while eating, but sticking a few grains of rice to the mouth, while stealing a glance at the big family sitting around the table and eating happily, strong courage, said: "Master, since the marriage of the third young lady has been decided." It stands to reason that our Tang Mansion is also a famous family, and the number of etiquette that should be there cannot be abolished, you see, the third lady is the youngest, and there are still Meng Chi, Tang Ze, Tang Ran, and the three elder sisters have not yet married, so is it not in line with the etiquette?"
After speaking, Cheng paused, glanced at the reactions of the rest of the people, and saw that everyone continued to eat calmly as if they had never heard of it, without saying a word or making waves.
But seeing that the smile on Tang Xingzhi's face faded quickly like a tidal wave, he took a bite of food, chewed slowly, and then, his sharp gaze fell on Cheng's face, and said slowly: "Oh......? In your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes converged on Cheng's face, waiting for the following, the difference is that some people stop watching in the open, and some people only hang their heads and peek and don't stop the movements in their hands.
Sensing that Tang Xing's face was not suspicious, Cheng Shi hurriedly squeezed out a smile like a flower, and while laughing, he said respectfully: "I am a woman and a Taoist family, how can I understand this!
After finishing speaking, he took a sneak peek at Tang Xingzhi and Wu with his flowing eyes, and seeing that neither of them was committal, Cheng turned to continue: "It's just that as a member of the Tang family, I always think that I can share the worries of the old lady? So, recently I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I have a proposal. ”
"Oh, let's hear it!" Tang Xingzhi was aroused, and his expression eased between his eyebrows.
Cheng waited for this sentence, and said: "I just said it casually, if the master thinks it is appropriate, he will adopt it, if there is something inappropriate, just when a gust of wind blows, don't care." ”
At this time, Tang Ze, who had long been unable to hold back on the side, wanted to speak out to stop his mother's indiscriminate mandarin duck matching, and was about to say that he had no plans to marry a wife, but Cheng, who had insight into the opportunity, pressed his arm under the table and prevented him from speaking.
Cheng Shi Zhengse said: "Meng Chi, I have been in our Tang Mansion for a few years, and we are not relatives but are like relatives. The master also treated Meng Chi as a son. It's just that, with all due respect, Meng Chi has no blood relationship with the Tang family after all. Therefore, I propose that Meng Chi marry Tang Ran, so that he can rightfully become a member of the Tang family, and be close to each other. ”
Hearing this, Tang Xingzhi was shocked, and said again and again: "Absolutely not! Although Meng Chi has no blood relationship with my Tang family, however, everyone has long regarded him as the son of my Tang family, and he and Ran'er are brother and sister. Isn't that unethical?"
Wu was also stunned and hurriedly agreed.
"Yes! Not to mention that the two children regard each other as relatives, Meng Chi has just dissolved the marriage contract with Miss Zhang, so it is inappropriate to rush to re-marry Meng Chi......!
Hum......
Cheng's snort let out a slight muffled snort, almost inaudible, with a smile on his face, and said unhurriedly: "Sister didn't mention it, sister forgot." Speaking of the Miss Zhang family, she is the same age as our eldest young master Ze'er, if she can achieve a good relationship, it is the best choice. In this way, the relationship between the Tang and Zhang families can be eased. It is also not unethical to do the marriage of three couples together. ”
At this time, Tang Xingzhi fell into deep thought: I have to admit that Cheng's words also have some truth!
Tang Xingzhi was a little annoyed and said, "When I negotiated with the Zhang family to dissolve the marriage contract, why didn't you tell me this suggestion. ”
By implication, it's too late!
But isn't it, you can't let Tang Xingzhi's dignified commander of the first army look left and right, talk about the east for a while, and go west for a while, and waver in reverse, that's not appropriate!
"Can I be blamed for this?" Cheng was full of confidence and reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "I don't know about this matter!
In this situation, Tang Xingzhi had no idea, and hurriedly looked at Meng Chi and asked, "Meng Chi, what do you think about this matter?"
Meng Chi's eyes were cold, without a trace of temperature, Shi Shiran got up and calmly responded: "Aunt Meng and the second miss show love! However, Meng Chi is not talented, I am afraid that he is not worthy of the second miss's talent and beauty, and she is kind and virtuous." ”
Then, his eyes drifted to Tang Xingzhi's body: "Meng Chi was originally alone, alone, and had nothing to worry about. But every time he thinks of family hatred and national hatred, Meng Chi is uneasy. Therefore, Meng Chi just wants to follow the big handsome and take revenge!"
Instead, moving his gaze to Wu's body, bowing his head lightly to show his gratitude, Meng Chi continued: "Besides, what Aunt Tang said is very true, I have only broken off the marriage contract with Miss Zhang, and it is really inappropriate to discuss the marriage in a hurry!"
In the end, Meng Chi locked his gaze on Tang Ranzheng's stunned gaze: "The second lady and I are the affection of brother and sister, and there is no male/female affection. ”
Cheng was unwilling and wanted to fight again, but said disapprerovitically: "The two of them have been together for a long time, so they naturally have feelings. ”
At this time, Tang Xing had already made a decision in his heart: Meng Chi was the son of his deceased, and he attached great importance to it, and this value was different from his own children, even his most beloved youngest daughter Tang Yuan was different, and he was unwilling to force Meng Chi. As for his own children, at least he could discipline and restrain them, but Meng Chi, he couldn't.
Therefore, Tang Xingzhi turned the spearhead to his son Tang Ze: "Ze'er, what do you think about this matter?"
At this moment, Cheng, who had been secretly pinching his son, had to let go, Tang Ze couldn't bear it anymore, and opened his mouth in a panic, but he was calm and calm after careful consideration: "Dad, like my eldest brother, I only think about the national shame and family feud in my heart, and I don't want to start a family too early." Besides, Miss Zhang once had a marriage contract with her eldest brother, if she married, she would inevitably bump into each other by chance, wouldn't she become the target of everyone?
Hearing this, Tang Xingzhi was deeply grateful: I don't want to, but his son's words are reasonable and well-founded, and people can't refute them.
"Okay, this matter is over!" Tang Xingzhi had already made a decision.
Cheng was unwilling to give up, and said coquettishly: "Master." ”
"Don't say more!" Tang Xingzhi stretched out his hand to signal Cheng Shi not to say more, and then comforted her knowingly: "I know, Dye'er and Ze'er are both from you, and they are not too young, mother, you are anxious, I can understand your feelings." I've made a note of this. When there is a suitable candidate, he will definitely choose a mate for the two of them. (To be continued.) )
