Chapter 373: Provocation
Chapter 373 Provocation
After listening to the old lady's words, when Bai Xiu chose a son-in-law for her daughter, she intentionally or unintentionally avoided those noble families.
The third grandmother Sun was not reconciled, after all, behind her husband's back, she booked her daughter the second son of the Marquis of Changxing, with a super title, holding one-sixth of the country's military power, and having a great say in the military generals in the court.
After the Geng posts were changed, the eldest master Ren Anhui and the third master Ren Kailiang only knew about it, and they were angry and directly grounded the Sun family, but the engagement was not easy to return.
At this time, Ren Jiawu's marriage also has eyebrows, the second master Ren Kaiqiang's former comrade-in-arms, and once had a life-saving grace, and Ren Fu has always been very close, and the second master has never been estranged after the death of the war, the rank of fourth general, the eldest son of the lord, although not as good as those sons and daughters of the princes, but they are also good people who can't be found with lanterns.
The child Ren Kaixing and his wife have personally gone to see each other, they are tall, handsome with facial features, and their knowledge is average, but they are simple and kind-hearted, and the family population is relatively simple, just with their friendship with their own family for many years, they will not treat their daughter badly.
Ren Jiawu also secretly glanced at it, but he was not very satisfied, mainly because he had seen a lot of personable Houmen sons some time ago, and now he was a little disgusted with the other party's 'old-fashioned', but after listening to his mother Bai Xiuyi explain the difference, he immediately became a lot happier.
A few days after the marriage began, I heard that Ren Jiashi, the second sister who was one year apart, had hired the second son of the Marquis of Changxing, and the joy in my heart was immediately poured with cold water by reality, and I was poured cold on my heart.
Although there are many girls in the house. There are only five concubines, the eldest sister Ren Jiazhen is the first child of the four generations, a veritable eldest daughter, she was favored as soon as she was born, and there is a big age difference between them, and she has already been married;
Now the second girl is engaged to her.
She ordered the son of the fourth-grade general, but the second girl ordered the son-in-law of the super-grade marquis family.
This gap is too big, how can she be willing. I can't swallow this evil breath in my heart.
If you marry like this. In the future, won't you be able to hold your head up in front of your second sister for the rest of your life?
After a little inquiry, I knew that my family did not have a good family to ask for marriage, but I was afraid of the eighth sister, so I let my mother push it.
The fourth girl was angry for a while and couldn't think about it. Immediately rushed to the mother:
"Mother. How can you be because of the little sister. What will ruin my marriage and future?"
"Mother, you haven't had time to care about me in the past few years, and you don't know about me and my second sister. Now that the second sister is married, I want to marry into that small family, and I will never be able to raise my head in front of the second sister in the future. β
"Mother, I am your own daughter, are you willing to let me bow my head in front of my second sister in the future?
Bai Xiu was speechless when asked.
"Wu'er, don't talk nonsense, your marriage is excellent, and it almost guarantees that the future will be smooth and stable. β
Ren Jiawu will not be bluffed so easily: "Then, let my mother tell me, is there a better person to propose to me?"
Bai Xiu didn't want to deceive her daughter, so she had to nod: "Yes, but there are always various shortcomings, especially some people, there are a lot of houses around them, and the eldest son has been born, and they also propose to our family, even if the status is high, it is impossible for me to agree." β
Ren Jiawu can't avoid it: "Isn't there a condition for a good character?"
Bai Xiu shook his head: "Either you have shortcomings, or you have something to force us, what I have set for you is the best choice." β
"What do you want?" Ren Jiawu didn't understand.
Bai Xiu taught her daughter with a straight face: "This is not something that girls should consider, as long as you believe that your parents will not harm you, a woman's life is not gambling, and living a good life has nothing to do with status." β
After going back, Ren Jiawu had insomnia, and she couldn't forget the sarcastic eyes of her second sister.
No, she doesn't want to be inferior to the second sister in the future, she doesn't want to slap her in the future, even if she is a concubine, she can't admit it, anyway, her status can't be low, otherwise she will go to relatives in the future, how can she hold her head up in front of the second sister.
However, does it really matter the character of the other party, only look at the status?
Ren Jiawu got up and knocked on his sister's room next door.
As twins, they have always lived in the same yard, which is intimate and convenient. Compared with the eight sisters, the two of them are really close sisters.
"Sister, it's so late, come in quickly, don't freeze. β
Jiatong didn't seem to be asleep, and as soon as the knock on the door rang, he got up and opened the door.
"I've been practicing martial arts for many years, how can I be frozen with such a little wind. Jiawu said disapprovingly, and followed her sister's hand into the house.
The two of them nested in a quilt, and Jiawu said the boredom in his heart one by one:
"My sister also knows how hateful the second sister is on weekdays, and I really don't want to be inferior to her for the rest of my life. Mother is really, there are no good people now, you can wait, why do you have to rush to book. β
Jiatong thought for a while: "If we don't inquire ourselves, I always feel that there is something wrong." It's a bit hasty to get married, we're still young, aren't we?"
Jiawu Jiatong is thirteen years old this year, and it is not too late to get married before the age of fifteen, so there is really no need for Jiawu to get engaged in a hurry.
"It's still my sister who is smart. Jiawu praised.
Jia Tong was modest: "The best period is smart, what am I?"
When Jiawu heard the good period, he immediately became angry: "Don't mention it, do you know what the mother-in-law in my house said? They all said that I could have had a better family, and my father and mother were afraid of the good period, saying that they wanted to avoid making trouble for the good period, so they pushed my good family affairs." β
"How dare your mother-in-law talk like this? It can't be the second sister's intention!" Jia Tong doubted.
Jiawu nodded: "I also doubt it, so I didn't believe it." β
Jiatong said: "There is no wind and no waves, we will also check in this direction, maybe there is something we don't know?"
Although the little girls in the inner courtyard are not easy to go out, the girls in the house want to know something, there are still news channels, and there are also a lot of mothers-in-law and small servants to help run errands, so there are results soon, of course, it is not excluded that the news was specially revealed by other heads.
Holding the results of the investigation, Jia Wu's whole body trembled.
"How can my father and mother do this? Am I not their daughter? Just for the sake of the good time, they put off my good marriage, no wonder?"
After eating together in the evening, I saw Jia Qi and his two younger brothers sitting together and laughing in a low voice, and suddenly became angry, his hand shook, and the tea cup smashed directly to the ground in front of Jia Shi, splashing on his skirt, shoes, and the ground was a mess.
Jia Qi raised her head, just met Jia Wu's cold and provocative gaze, frowned, summoned the maid to clean up the scene, and she went directly to other rooms to change clothes.
Jiawu was even more angry.
If Jia Ji gets angry, she can take the opportunity to express her anger and dissatisfaction in her heart and let everyone know how she feels, but Jia Ji goes out to change clothes without saying a word, which makes her seem vexatious.
Bai Xiu glanced at her reproachfully and sighed, but didn't say anything.
After changing his clothes, he came back with the same look as usual.
Jiawu couldn't hold back any longer: "Our sixth princess has begun to show her generosity and magnanimity before she gets married, in this case, I don't know how about my sister help you introduce a few candidates for side concubines?"
When Bai Xiu heard this, he immediately knew that this matter could not be turned into a big matter, and a small matter could be turned into nothing, so he directly ordered the two sons to go back to their own yard to rest with their respective nurses, and they still didn't want to know about the affairs of the inner courtyard.
The maids and ladies who were waiting in the house retreated with great eyes, some of them stood guard at the door, and some of them opened the windows to see the movement outside, but they were also calm.
Jia Qi frowned and looked at her sister-in-law, who was very different from her usual dignified: "Why can't I understand what my sister said, why did my sister make my sister angry?"
"I don't understand, my sister's family affairs and future have been ruined by you, and you still look innocent. Jiatong couldn't help but interject and accuse.
"Relatives, didn't my sister just get married? What does it have to do with me?" Jia Ji still doesn't understand, she practices swords, reads and writes every day, and she also has to follow her mother to embroider and cook, and she is also very busy, and she has no time to pay attention to the dark tide in the house during this time, and the maids and women around her will not take the initiative to touch this mold.
"What's the matter? Jia Ji, my sister could have gotten a ginseng fruit, but because of you, she only got an apple, and you still said it had nothing to do with you?" Jia Tong said interestingly, if it was under normal circumstances, several people in the room would probably burst out laughing, but in Jia Wu's serious expression, everyone didn't laugh, but the atmosphere was much more relaxed.
Jia Qi looked at the faces of several people around him, and realized that his sister's dissatisfaction and complaints might be true, and immediately turned his eyes to the one with the highest status in the house-their mothers: "Mother, what is going on? Jia Qi's hands are about to die of pain during this time, and he really didn't notice what happened?"
Bai Xiu sighed, knowing that there was no way to hide it, and there must be a result, so he said bluntly: "The older your fiancΓ© is, the better he looks, which attracts the joy and admiration of the nobles in the capital, but your marriage is set by the presiding officer of the Huguo Temple and the queen mother herself, and there is no reason to change it; We couldn't make up our minds, and when the old lady heard about it, he ordered that you should not be burdened with it, and let our girls marry equally or lowly;"
"What's the matter with the second sister?" Jia Wu immediately asked, what she was most unwilling to do was that the second sister married her but married equally, she didn't want to lose to the second sister.
"Her family affair was privately ordered by your aunt, didn't you notice that the third aunt was grounded?" Bai Xiu explained. (To be continued......)
