Qin Bai listened to Niu's words, and really recalled the talents he had seen.

The eldest girl of the Shen family is the niece of the patriarch's wife, even if it is to save face for the sect, she can't offend the Shen family. At the beginning, they wanted to tell the eldest girl of the Shen family to Wu Shaoying as his wife, but now since Wu Shaoying didn't mean that, they naturally wanted to give an explanation to the Shen family, and they couldn't let the eldest girl of the Shen family wait for a few months in vain, but no one was found.

It's just that the replacement candidate is not very easy to do. Qin Bai and the Niu family have been in Jiangnan for more than a year, and the most familiar family, except for the Qin clan, is Huang Jincheng's family. Although there are a few good descendants in the Qin clan, the Shen family is a Songjiang family, so I am afraid that I will not look down on the white body. There is no need to mention Huang Jin's family, his sons and nephews are naturally good, but the Huang family is the eunuch family in the capital, and the Shen family may not be able to climb high. In this way, Qin Bai had to come up with the idea of making a few old friends.

He knew a few famous calligraphers and painters in Suzhou, and some of them had the same temperament as him. These people also have children and nephews in their families, and their family is also well-off, if he writes a letter and says that he intends to help match the matchmaker, they may not refuse. It's just that Qin Bai is a sincere person, if he really wants to say kiss to someone, he will definitely be optimistic, and he will not introduce an inappropriate girl to the past and offend his friends. Those famous calligraphers and painters are also the right ones with the Shen family in terms of family background, but there are still certain standards for choosing a daughter-in-law for the sons and nephews in the family. Not to mention anything else, knowledge and etiquette are the foundation, and it would be best if you could have talents in poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Qin Bai has also seen the eldest girl of the Shen family, and knows that it is a standard lady, gentle and dignified, knowledgeable and courteous, but I am afraid that she is better at housekeeping, and she can only be regarded as mediocre in terms of poetry and painting. In the eyes of any big family in Jiangnan, such a girl is a very good candidate for daughter-in-law, but she may not be able to meet the wishes of those families in Suzhou. Qin Bai thought about it again and again, and felt that it was better not to write this letter.

Songjiang also has a Ye family, which is also the in-law of the Qin family. It's just that Uncle Ye's family background is not very good, even if he is in Songjiang, he will definitely not be able to climb the Shen family, so there is no need to mention it.

Qin Bai didn't know a few friends in Hangzhou, but he had two old friends in Huzhou, both of whom were local nobles, and there were many children and nephews in the family, and they were right with the Shen family. He thought about it and asked Niu: "Do you remember that Brother Mao has a nephew in his family, and it seems that he has not been able to marry a wife in his twenties, and Brother Mao and his wife are anxious for him? Do you think this child is still compatible with the eldest girl of the Shen family?"

Niu Shi thought for a while and remembered: "I know who you are talking about, that kid is a pitiful person, he is very handsome, and he speaks politely, but he always has a little sadness on his face." His father died early, his mother was sick for many years, he had no other brothers, he had been living with his uncle, saying that he was a nephew, but in fact, he was not much different from Master Mao's own son. I heard that he had a family affair before, and he was a childhood sweetheart with his fiancée, which was very good. It's a pity that the fiancée died of illness later, and he was sad and married the tablet into the door. Who in Huzhou doesn't say that he is deeply affectionate? But in this way, when he wants to marry a wife seriously, he can only be regarded as marrying a house. Almost all the girls in Huzhou are not happy to be inferior. But if he was asked to marry a girl with a poor family background, Master Mao and they were not happy, and they felt that they had wronged their nephew. The child's marriage dragged on like this, but his mother was getting sicker and worse year by year, if one day was not good, the child would have to keep filial piety, and then he would really become a bachelor. So Mrs. Mao, they are also in a hurry. ”

When Qin Bai got along with Mao and Pan, the Niu family also had contacts with the two female dependents, and the women's family chatted about the shortcomings of the family, so it was inevitable to mention the children and grandchildren in the family. The Niu family once complained to people about the bitterness, saying how annoying the remarriage of the two sons was, and solved the problem of the younger son's daughter-in-law, but the eldest son was stubborn; Mrs. Pan said that her daughter and son-in-law quarreled at the two ends for three days, and there was harmony between the two daughters-in-law, but in private, they always had to compete for the first place in everything, and the small means were endless, and they had to overwhelm each other, making her have a headache; Mrs. Mao was worried about her nephew's marriage, obviously the child was all good, but her life was a little harder, and she had no father since she was a child, and her mother didn't know when she would let go。

It can be seen that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Qin Bai didn't know these inside things, but he only felt that the two old friends lived happily, their wives were virtuous and filial, and their children and grandchildren were full, and they didn't have any troubles at all. Today, after listening to my wife's words, I realized that my old friends also have so many unsatisfactory things.

Qin Bai asked the Niu family: "Have you ever heard the Mao family mention what kind of girl they plan to say to Brother Mao's nephew?"

This is a very important question, lest he mention the eldest girl of the Shen family, but the Mao family doesn't take a fancy to it, then both sides will be offended. It stands to reason that the Mao family is in Huzhou, and the Shen family is in Songjiang, which is actually about the same status. The two portals are equal, and there is no reason for anyone to dislike anyone. It's just that the eldest girl of the Shen family is a side branch, and she is older, and her father is still a fool, these are all minus points. And the Mao family has not been able to tell their nephew a suitable family affair, is it really just because the local girls in Huzhou don't want to fill the house?

If he hadn't been too picky, how could no girl be willing to marry him? Although the name is a remarriage, the one in front of him is a tablet to enter the door, and now he is married to fill the house, in fact, it is the first marriage, except for almost a name, the benefits are not a lot. The nephew of the Mao family has been unable to settle the marriage for a long time, and there must be other reasons.

Niu's family chatted with the daughters of the Mao Pan family for a few days, and she was not very clear about the inside story, so she could only say some gossip and rumors she heard: "It seems that the nephew of the Mao family is still thinking about the one in front of him, and he is not very happy to marry a wife, and almost everyone in Huzhou knows about it, so he doesn't want to wronged his daughter." But he couldn't be more than happy, and he couldn't put it off. His wife is so sick that she won't be able to hold on for a while, and she has to watch her son marry a wife before she can close her eyes. For the sake of filial piety, he must marry his daughter-in-law as soon as possible. It's just that although his family is in a hurry, the choice of this daughter-in-law can't be sloppy, otherwise his wife can't stand it. Not to mention anything else, the family background must always be comparable, and the talent and appearance must also match, the girl must be a grandmother, she must know how to be a scholar, and she must be a housekeeper. Their family's family business is not small, and the new daughter-in-law will be in charge of the feed as soon as she passes through the door, and she can't do it without any ability. ”

This is a high requirement, no wonder the Mao family has not been able to set a family affair for their nephew for a long time. The candidates who can meet the requirements are basically cultivated as future clan wives, and they can be the original match, so why should they be wronged to marry themselves to fill the house? If the nephew of the Mao family is really very talented, it will be fine, but he is just a show talent, and he has delayed the imperial examination for the sake of his mother's illness, otherwise it is not that there is no family that does not love his daughter so much, and he achieves family affairs for the sake of benefits.

Qin Bai thought about it and felt that the conditions of the eldest girl of the Shen family were quite in line with the requirements of the Mao family, and the next thing to see how the two of them talked. At most, he is pulling a thread from it, but he can't pack the ticket, and it will be done.

He told his old wife, Niu: "You go and tell your sister-in-law about this, and see what she means? If his family doesn't mind his daughter going to fill the house, I'll write to Huzhou." Take advantage of the New Year's gift before the year to mention it to Brother Mao. This matter can't be delayed for too long, and the Mao family is also in a hurry, in case they have already decided on a candidate, it will be useless for me to write again. ”

Niu nodded and smiled: "Speaking of which, I still have a weird face." I knew that this would be the case, and I was not so enthusiastic about the Shen family before. I think the eldest girl of the Shen family is very good, only Shaoying will like it, but I didn't expect him to still have that old temper and righteousness, I can't say anything about him. Now it is good to introduce the children of the Mao family to the Shen family, but after all, Songjiang and Huzhou are a little far away. Moreover, Shaoying is a jinshi and an official, but the child of the Mao family is just a showman, and there is a seriously ill old lady in the family, so I don't know what the Shen family will think. The person who used this to remedy it is not as good as Shaoying, and I just helped Shaoying deceive Zongfang's sister-in-law, and now I am embarrassed to see her. ”

Qin Bai said softly: "This is all for the sake of the younger generations, what is it that the elders are a little tired? Shaoying marries a wife, he must be happy with himself, so that the husband and wife can be harmonious in the future." I know you've been working hard these days, why don't I go over and tell my sister-in-law?"

Niu Shi hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, these are our women's affairs, what are you talking about? After speaking, he snorted again, "It's all caused by Sister Sang'er's girl, and I don't know what she said to Shaoying, which made Shaoying so unhappy about this marriage!"

She went in a rage to find her granddaughter. Qin Han was really fiddling with a piece of charcoal, studying how to make it into a practical brush that would not get his hands dirty, and suddenly saw that his grandmother was coming, his face was still a little angry, and his heart was not good, so he quickly threw away the charcoal strip and sat behind the bookcase in a well-behaved manner: "Grandmother, are you here?" The tone was sweet and shy, which was the standard when she was coquettish.

Niu Shi was so angry by her that he was a little angry, and said angrily: "What did you tell your cousin? Today, I went to find your cousin with your uncle and grandmother to talk about family affairs, and he was blocked back in a few words, and he couldn't even mention the candidate." Your cousin even lied in order to refuse the marriage, you must have said bad things about the Shen family!"

Qin Hanzhen shouted unjustly: "I didn't say anything, I just told him everything I knew about the Shen family, and let him make his own judgment." I don't think my cousin really has the heart to think about this, and now he's busy. Besides, he didn't refuse your matchmaking, he just said that he would wait for a while, and then mention the marriage when he was free. If you are really optimistic about the Shen family, then wait a while. ”

Niu glared at her: "Okay, it turns out that you already knew!"

Qin Hanzhen grinned. It was a lifelong event related to her cousin, and of course she was very concerned. As soon as the patriarch's wife left on the front foot, she went to Wu Shaoying on the back foot, and she had already inquired about what had happened. She felt that her grandmother was too anxious, no matter ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, it was annoying to be forced to marry by elders. As long as Wu Shaoying has not made up his mind to be single for the rest of his life, why force him too hard? He is not yet thirty, and if he is in modern times, he is still young, so there is no need to worry.

Niu's only hated his granddaughter for not understanding his hard work: "He set up a household alone, and he grabbed him outside the house, and there was no one who could share his worries." He used to be an idler, and he just paid it back. Now that he has become an official, is it possible that he has finished his work with the affairs of the yamen, and when he returns home, he has to worry about food and clothing by himself? There is no reason for this! At present, our family can still help him take care of one or two, and when we leave in the next year, who will be able to take care of him? You always say that you respect your cousin, but you don't know how to think about him, he really loves you in vain!"

Qin Hanzhen could only laugh dryly, and he was a little sneering in his heart. Doesn't she respect Wu Shaoying's personal wishes...... For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
