Qin Jian was looking forward to getting the exact news from the Xu family. However, in the Xu family now, he is still unsure of his idea, so how can he give a clear answer?

As soon as Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu's grandmother and daughter-in-law returned home, they told everyone in the family that Mrs. Cai San was interested in Xu Xiu and intended to marry Cai Seventeen. There is no way, this matter has been pierced in the Chengenhou Mansion, and the news will be transmitted back to the Xu family sooner or later, at least the Xu family will pay attention to the answer of the Xu family's room, and it is useless to escape. Of course, Xu Er's grandmother also made amends in front of her family, and she accidentally leaked the news for her and made a big mistake.

Mrs. Xu was still on the hospital bed, and when she heard the news, she almost vomited blood on the spot.

But she didn't vomit blood, which means that her physical condition can still hold on, and she has the spirit to scold people. She rejected the frivolous punishment of her daughter-in-law Xu Erma by Mrs. Xu, insisted on driving people to the ancestral hall, and reprimanded her. In her opinion, if Second Lady Xu had disciplined her daughter-in-law strictly enough, there would never have been such a mistake! Just like her own daughter-in-law, Grandma Xu, she would not dare to talk nonsense in front of her in front of outsiders.

Grandma Xu, who had actually done a lot of small actions in private, held her breath and carefully kept silent, pretending that she was really the virtuous and obedient daughter-in-law in her mother-in-law's mouth.

Regarding Cai Seventeen's family business, except for Mrs. Xu's insistence on opposing it, everyone in the Xu family felt that it was inappropriate at first, but then they felt that it was not impossible to consider, and slowly, under the persuasion of Mrs. Xu, many people began to think that this may not be a good marriage.

Although Cai Qiqi is not the son or nephew of the Marquis of Yunyang, he can be regarded as an adopted son, and he was raised in the Marquis of Yunyang's mansion. Xu Xiu's marriage to him is equivalent to marrying into the Yunyang Hou Mansion, as long as the Yunyang Hou couple can be satisfied, they will naturally not be stingy to give the well-behaved and filial nephew and daughter-in-law's maiden family a little care. The Marquis of Yunyang is a powerful person in the dynasty, and the care he can provide to the Xu family is immediate and effective.

In contrast, the Chengenhou Mansion has to go through the queen mother, the crown prince, the crown princess in the palace, or the Yongjiahou Qin Bai in the third room before he can do anything, and the efficiency is much lower. What's more, although the Chengenhou Mansion is now in charge of the Xu family, but in the past few years, the Chengenhou Mansion has been too busy to take care of itself, and it has to rely on the Yongjiahou Mansion to help, so it can't provide any help to the Xu family at all, otherwise how could the Xu family go into decline?

Master Xu was already a little moved. He is the person with the highest official position in the Xu family, and he can feel the bottleneck of his career most clearly. His health is not very good, if he can't go up further, it is estimated that he can only be in the third grade, which is not as good as his late father's achievements before his death! If his deceased father Quan Xia learns about it, he will definitely be very disappointed. And he himself will be even more disappointed. He thought that he was not as stained as his deceased father, and with his sister who married his uncle behind him, he could go farther than his deceased father, but he didn't expect it to be as good as his deceased father. Qin Youzhen, the second-room concubine of the Qin family raised by her sister Xu, her husband Lu Pu is not yet forty years old, and she has already achieved the third grade. How is he worse than Lupu? Why is this the result? If the marriage with the Cai family can push his official position up, even if it can only be pushed by one level, he will be satisfied.

Originally, Master Xu also hoped that the excellence of the eldest grandson could attract the attention of the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yunyang. Now the Cai family proposed to marry Xu Xiu for their cousin, and they didn't mention a word to Xu Zheng. It can be seen that an elegant scholar like Xu Zheng is not in line with the preferences of the Marquis of Yunyang. Since this marriage can no longer be expected, it is the same for Xu Xiu to marry into the Cai family. Losing the east corner and reaping the mulberry elm is not necessarily a good thing.

Of course, it would be nice if the Marquis of Yunyang Mansion could promote more cousins and nephews in the future. Yunyang Hou should be very serious about Cai Seventeen, right? Master Xu wants more accurate information before he can make up his mind.

Master Xu thought so, and his son Uncle Xu and the latter's wife, Grandma Xu, had no idea. Grandma Xu may also be aggrieved for her daughter, thinking that her daughter is not marrying into the Chengenhou Mansion to be the future head of the house, which is too condescending. But thinking that the Marquis of Yunyang Mansion is more powerful than the Marquis of Chengen, Cai Seventeen is already a small banner at the age of sixteen now, and he only needs the Marquis of Yunyang to take care of him, and he will be a military attache with rank in a few years, which may be smoother than Qin Jian, who is just showing off his talent and fame and struggling on the road to the imperial examination for many years. It is also a surprise that the daughter may get the decree sooner than originally planned.

Grandma Xu thought of her husband's situation, and felt that if her daughter could really marry Cai Qiqi, it would be a good marriage. Especially because of the relationship between the mother-in-law, the Xu family and Qin Jian's mother Yao are very stiff, even if the daughter really marries Qin Jian, it will inevitably be troubled by her mother-in-law Yao.

It's a pity that Cai Seventeen's background is lower, if only he were the nephew of Yunyang Hou. Or in other words, why isn't the Cai family talking about Yunyang Hou's son or nephew? Grandma Xu doesn't dare to hope that her daughter can marry Cai Shizi, but Cai Shizi still has the younger brother of his compatriots, and Yunyang Hou still has his nephew, so Xu Xiu is always a good match, right?

In this regard, Second Mrs. Xu could only laugh dryly: "Second Young Master Cai is only thirteen years old, and Sister Xiu is sixteen." Although the female junior is holding gold bricks, the Cai family is not in a hurry to say goodbye to their second young master. As for the nephews of Yunyang Hou, we only saw Cai Shijiu, he is fifteen years old this year, and he has not decided to marry. Mrs. Cai San didn't mention him, and I don't know what they thought. But I think that with the power of the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, I am afraid that we will not be picky. ”

Grandma Xu shut her mouth stupidly.

Second Mrs. Xu looked at everyone's expressions, and knew that they were all inclined to accept the marriage between Xu Xiu and Cai Seventeen, and she couldn't help but feel a little upset in her heart. Although she persuaded them to agree, thinking that she and her daughter-in-law had said bad things about the long house in front of Mrs. Cai San, I don't know if it would affect the Yunyang Marquis Mansion's perception of Xu Xiu. Mrs. Caisan's expression at that time was not very good-looking, and if this matter leaked out, her situation would be even more embarrassing.

Thinking of this, Second Lady Xu asked Grandma Xu: "How is your mother-in-law now?"

Grandma Xu sighed: "Do you still need to say it? She is still the same few words, and now she is even more angry than before." ”

Mrs. Xu is naturally angry, she feels that no one else in the family is reliable, and her husband Master Xu is even more suspicious of being with the mud and riding the wall: "At the beginning, you all promised me, let Brother Zheng marry the good sister, to put it well, as soon as I heard Mrs. Gu say that there is a chance to make friends with the Marquis of Yunyang, and the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yunyang has not yet allowed anyone, you are all moved, put aside the marriage contract that Brother Zheng and Sister Shan have already discussed, and let Brother Zheng flatter the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yunyang! You say that this is good for Brother Zheng'er's future." I don't see what benefit a military general or a noble can do Brother Zheng'er to study for the imperial examination, but if you speak in unison, I will give in. Now you tell me that the Yunyang Marquis Mansion did not take a fancy to Brother Zheng'er, but did take a fancy to Sister Xiu'er, but only planned to marry a nephew to their family! An orphan whose father was just a minor military attache and died early, but whose mother did not know how to be honest and did not abide by women's morals and remarried to others! Just because of that Cai 17 surnamed Cai? My sister Xiu is also beautiful and well-bred, and she is still the eldest daughter, even if she is qualified to marry the son of Yunyang Hou, why should she be wronged like this?!"

Master Xu secretly wiped his sweat and said with a dry smile: "Don't be angry, madam. Brother Zheng'er and Miss Cai's marriage is not successful, so he can naturally continue to marry your niece and granddaughter. Sister Xiu's marriage is not the same? As long as she is a good person. Although Cai Qiqi is only the nephew of Yunyang Hou, he is also a talent, the young man is very handsome, and he has also studied for a few years, although he is a military attaché, but he has a bright future. If Sister Xiu'er marries him, she will be blessed. ”

Mrs. Xu sneered: "That's a nice thing to say, what if there is no future blessing? Can we still regret it at that time? Our Xu family has already done something wrong, but we can't do treachery and ruin the marriage again!"

Master Xu's face darkened: "Madam!"

Mrs. Xu clenched her chest, only felt that her blood was churning, and finally calmed down a little, before she said coldly: "You said that it was okay to let Sister Xiu'er marry Brother Jian from the Qin family's house, and kiss and kiss, which can be regarded as in line with Mrs. Gu's wishes." I thought that as long as you don't fight Brother Zheng'er's idea, it will be nothing if Mrs. Gu is fulfilled. Now, you have repented cleanly, and you have changed your words and said that you want to marry Sister Xiu'er to the Marquis Mansion of Yunyang. What about the Qin family? How is the old man going to explain to his aunt? Don't bother with my brother Zheng's idea again. His relationship with Sister Shan'er has already been decided, and he has already sent a letter to my mother's brother, written clearly in black and white, don't think that it can be changed! Our Lu family, the most important thing is the word integrity, but it is not like your Xu family, what has been said can not be counted!"

Master Xu's face was a little ugly again, and after a while, he said: "I did think about letting Brother Zheng marry Jinhua, your niece and granddaughter, Sister Shan, and change it to Brother Rong." Brother Rong is the younger brother, and his wife can never be higher than the eldest sister-in-law, so as not to have peace in the family in the future. But if according to Mrs. Madame's words, she is not willing to let Brother Zheng remarry Jinhua no matter what, then she can only let Brother Rong come. He is also a descendant, and he has always gotten along well with Jinhua's childhood sweetheart. It's just that in the future, Sister Shan'er is not as good as Jinhua, if you have any complaints, don't regret it. ”

Mrs. Xu smiled angrily: "Brother Rong, the old man can also say it! He can't study, he is idle all day long, and he only knows how to mess around in the inner curtain, if he is a few years older, he may not be a cheeky merry seed." How could the Qin family be willing to marry their daughter to him? Even if Mrs. Gu didn't have to be embarrassed and had to favor her mother's family, the shrew of the Yao family would fight hard with you! What's more, how could Brother Rong compare with Brother Zheng? Brother Zheng had your grandfather and my grandmother, what did Brother Rong have? The daughter of the Qin family was not unable to get married, so why should she practice herself? !

Master Xu originally wanted to convince his wife well, but now the more he listened, the more angry he became, and his patience disappeared. He said with a cold face: "If it weren't for Madame's nonsense and disregard for the affection of relatives, why would our two families have come to this point? You have caused a big mess between the two families, and all the family affairs that you said were good, but now you still have to talk about the cool things, have you taken the Xu family in your eyes? Since you look down on the Xu family, what did you do when you married in that day? You might as well go back to your Lu family! Anyway, you will only say that the Lu family is good!"

He threw away coldly, Mrs. Xu was so angry that she stared at his back, couldn't hold back any longer, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
