Chapter 798: The Housewife
Ma Huaiyu frowned and looked at Lin Wan, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. Although she is very satisfied with Tong Xinyan's temperament and ability, she is still www.biquge.info to be examined in other aspects. Lin Wan's first cut and then play caught her off guard.
Zhao Mingjin also got up and walked in front of Ma Huaiyu, knelt down beside Lin Wan without hesitation, his expression was serious, his eyes were blazing, and he said solemnly: "Mother, it's not Wan'er's fault, it's the son's unfilial piety, Xinyan has been identified in this life, except for her, it is absolutely impossible to marry other women." If the mother feels that Xinyan is not suitable to be the head of the Zhao family, the son can give up the position of the future head of the family to Ming. I beg my mother to be fulfilled!"
When Tong Xinyan heard this, her body shook, her beautiful big eyes were instantly filled with tears, and there was a shallow smile at the corner of her mouth, which was both bitter and sweet. She got up slowly, walked in front of Ma Huaiyu, knelt beside Zhao Mingjin, and knelt quietly like this, without saying a word. But the firmness in her eyes made everyone understand her honesty and pride.
Ma Huaiyu's brows tightened, and his sharp gaze swept over Lin Wan, Zhao Mingjin, and Tong Xinyan's faces one by one. Listening to Zhao Mingjin's words, the anger in Ma Huaiyu's heart was even stronger, the three children were obviously forcing her to make a decision, and it was a decision that had no choice.
If she refuses to let Tong Xinyan marry into General Zhao's mansion, then she will face everyone's accusations and complaints, even her eldest son, who values her most, will hate her, and may even leave the Zhao family. Moreover, Lin Wan had already said in front of the emperor and the eldest princess that Tong Xinyan was Zhao Mingjin's fiancée, and if she didn't admit it, Lin Wan would be guilty of bullying the king. Even if the emperor does not investigate Lin Wan's guilt, Lin Wan will be ridiculed in the capital in the future.
Ma Huaiyu was repeatedly entangled in her heart, she was a traditional family celebrity, and she cared about the reputation of the Zhao family and the Ma family. Although the Ma family has never participated in the disputes of the imperial court, the heirs in the family are becoming more and more thin. But in Shandong, the Ma family is a big family that is older than the Xing family and the Zhao family, and pays more attention to bloodline and inheritance than any other family.
If it weren't for the Zhao family's promise not to accept concubines, and Mrs. Zhao Jiatai came to the door three times with Wang Xinlian, Mrs. Ma Jiatai would not have accepted this marriage. Therefore, now Ma Huaiyu is not only choosing the Zhao family as the housewife, but also choosing the granddaughter-in-law for the Ma family.
Ma Huaiyu had already taken a fancy to a niece of her mother's family, and planned to wait for the three-year filial piety period to expire and then go to Ma's house to discuss. However, she didn't expect that before she had time to handle this matter, the Zhao family had already been urgently recalled to Beijing.
After returning to Beijing, because the Zhao family had been in crisis, she did not tell the matter, and it was impossible for her to pull her mother's family into the water under such circumstances. Moreover, judging from the situation at the time, the Ma family would never have responded to this family business.
Even now, the Ma family may not be willing to marry the Zhao family. However, Ma Huaiyu still didn't let go of his thoughts in his heart.
However, at this moment, everything is irreparable. She can't let her niece in the door against everyone's wishes. Otherwise, even if Zhao Mingjin is forced to marry the daughter of the Ma family under pressure from her, it will eventually cause a pair of resentful couples, and maybe it will cause a big disaster.
The needle drop could be heard in the hall, and all the people did not make a sound, waiting for Ma Huaiyu's decision. Zhao Zhengxiang and Wang Xinlian sat quietly on top of the high hall and did not express any opinions. But the situation at this moment is very obvious, Ma Huaiyu has no other choice but to agree.
We have lived together for so many years and know each other very well. Although Ma Huaiyu has a straight temperament and a somewhat anxious temper, his thinking is very clear and his brain is very rational. She wouldn't make the wrong decision for the sake of gambling on the moment.
After a long time, Ma Huaiyu finally sighed lightly and took off the bracelet that symbolized the head of the Zhao family from his wrist. Holding the emerald green and transparent, round and smooth bracelet, Ma Huaiyu looked at it again and again, and then slowly bent down, took Tong Xinyan's slender and white little hand, and carefully put the bracelet on her wrist.
Everyone's hearts relaxed, and a smile of joy appeared on their faces.
Tong Xinyan's heart was beating wildly, her fingers trembled slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at Ma Huaiyu, her eyes were full of disbelief, gratitude and surprise.
Ma Huaiyu looked at Tong Xinyan lovingly, smiled faintly, and said slowly: "Xinyan, I always knew that you were a good girl, and you were very outstanding in terms of talent. In the past few days, I have also seen your ability to do business and manage affairs, and I have seen the strength and courage behind your gentle appearance. However, it is far from enough to be the head of the Zhao family. You also need to continue to work hard, study hard, pay more time and energy than others, and have a stronger heart to support a huge family. ”
Tong Xinyan looked back at Ma Huaiyu calmly, nodded solemnly, and said, "Yes, eldest lady, Xinyan will work hard." ”
Ma Huaiyu shook his head with a chuckle, and said, "You have worn the jade bracelet of our Zhao family, and you are already a member of the Zhao family, do you still want to call me Mrs. Major?"
Tong Xinyan's face turned red, and she glanced at Zhao Mingjin shyly, only to see that Zhao Mingjin was nodding to her with ecstasy on his face, silently encouraging her. Tong Xinyan opened her mouth and pondered for a while before she spit out one word: "Mother!"
Ma Huaiyu had mixed feelings in her heart, not only comforting that her beloved son had found someone she liked, but also feeling relieved that she had made this decision.
These days, although her heart has been hesitating, she also knows very well that now that the Queen Mother's birthday is imminent, she must make a decision as soon as possible. However, she was unable to convince the Ma family to agree to marry the Zhao family in a short period of time. Now Zhao Mingjin only has Tong Xinyan in her heart, and she can't convince Zhao Mingjin to marry the daughter of the Ma family willingly.
Therefore, although Ma Huaiyu was reluctant, she also knew that she would have to compromise after all. But she didn't expect that Lin Wan helped her make this decision and made this decision today.
Ma Huaiyu stretched out his other hand, took Lin Wan's hand, and said, "Wan'er, aunt doesn't blame you, all this is providence!" After a pause, he said to Zhao Mingjin and Tong Xinyan seriously: "I have been thinking about this matter for the past few days, thinking about it, in fact, Xinyan is the best choice." Although Xinyan was not chosen by me, it was chosen by Jin'er herself, which caught me off guard, and even found it difficult to accept it for a while. However, after all, the future life is for you to live by yourself, and only if you live well, can you bring our Zhao family to get better together. Only when you work together and as a husband and wife can we get through all the difficulties you will face together. ”
Zhao Mingjin and Tong Xinyan glanced at each other, nodded with a smile, and said in unison: "Yes, mother, we will not let you down." ”
