Yao, who received the news, secretly gloated in his own room.

Look, at the beginning, Mrs. Xu used her illness to threaten her husband and children to agree to the marriage between Xu Zheng and Miss Lu, as if she was about to die. Now that she is really dead, don't you know that God can't see her hurting people for no reason, so he took her away? If it weren't for her eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, and not restraining her daughter-in-law well, and letting Grandma Xu talk nonsense outside, the marriage between Qin Jian and Qin Jinhua would not be so difficult, and now the marriage of the former has not been settled for a long time, and the latter can only succumb to the son of a Dali Siqing, all thanks to the Xu family!

Yao's family was angry and happy again, thinking that Mrs. Xu praised her niece's granddaughter Miss Lu like a flower all day long, as if Miss Lu was really much stronger than Qin Jinhua, and now that the marriage was decided, Miss Lu killed her mother-in-law, is this considered Mrs. Xu's self-inflicted?

She then thought of Xu Zheng and Xu Xiu. Although the filial piety period is only one year, but for Xu Zheng, this year's filial piety period is not just one year, he will never be able to participate in the examination in the spring of next year, and wait for another three and a half years before he has the opportunity to take the Jinshi examination, who knows what the result will be?

Yao thought with some bad intentions that Master Xu had now suffered a stroke, and they all said that his condition was more dangerous than that of Mrs. Xu, but he was still alive and well. If he lives a little longer, and when his grandson takes the next subject again, he dies again, and Xu Zheng will not be delayed in one or two subjects. At that time, I am afraid that Qin Jian will become an official, and he may have finished his term of office, and he is ready to be promoted. Even if Xu Zheng has been famous for his talent since he was a child? If he can't pass the Jinshi exam, he can't become an official, and everything is empty.

There is also Xu Xiu, who has also been unable to discuss marriage for a year. She has to hurry up and give her son Qin Jian's marriage within this year, so as to save her mother-in-law Xu from having any thoughts.

Yao snorted coldly, and couldn't help but be secretly happy, but when he caught a glimpse of her husband Qin Zhonghai entering the door, he hurriedly put away his smile, deliberately pretended to be sad, and greeted him: "Second master, have you heard about it? How can this be good? I thought that my uncle would get through it after all, but I didn't expect her to ...... like this."

Qin Zhonghai clearly saw that there was no sadness in Yao's eyes, it was all pretended. He sighed secretly in his heart, and said lightly: "Pack up a plain clothes for me, I want to go to Xu's house to condole." ”

Yao Shi paused, then instructed the girl to get the vegetarian clothes, and then asked Qin Zhonghai: "The second master is going to go over today?" ......she bit her lip, "The good news has just come, our brother Jian has been moved, such a happy event, how can the family celebrate such a happy event, even if it is a family banquet?......! Isn't it a bit unlucky?"

Qin Zhonghai sighed: "After all, it's my aunt, if I don't go, it will be too rude." Besides, my mother was already preparing, and I changed my clothes and went out with her in a while. The third brother and Brother Jian also have to go with them, and they don't know when they will come back, so they don't have to wait for us for dinner. Although Brother Jian's middle school is a happy event, the current appearance of his mother is ...... Where are you in the mood to set up a banquet? Forget about the family banquet, most of her old man has no appetite tonight, even if she barely sets up the banquet, she can't laugh, so why bother to spoil the fun?"

Yao's face was about to lengthen immediately: "What is this? The funeral of the Xu family, we went over to offer condolences, even if we have done our best, how can we pull a good child over and help him? Don't let people come back? Is this what Madame means? But what can Brother Jian understand? He has not gone through a white affair, nor is his surname Xu! After putting on the incense and saying a few words of condolences, it is time to go home, what can he do if he stays there? Could it be that the Xu family is still short of men, and he needs a new imperial examination person with a foreign surname to entertain guests in the front hall? So what does Xu Zheng do? I'm afraid that the Xu family still has unsightly intentions, and deliberately asked the girl of his family to get close to Brother Jian, which will affect Brother Jian'er's reputation!" What she was more worried about was actually the Xu family.

Qin Zhonghai frowned and said: "The Xu family is not like this, his family is also a scholarly family, and the girls in the family are all face-saving." When an elder died, what man did he want to get close to? If any girl really did such a thing, I would not sit idly by and watch my son suffer, but directly asked my cousin to send the girl to the nunnery and read the scriptures for my aunt for the rest of her life. ”

Yao also knew that he had gone too far, so he hurriedly slowed down his tone and said: "Even if the girl in his family doesn't do anything and lets Brother Jian stay in the Xu family for a long time, outsiders don't know that he has been instructed by his wife to kindly help his relatives, and they think that he has made a relationship with the daughter of the Xu family, so he will help greet relatives and friends who go to mourn with his surname." Even if we can clarify it afterwards, it will eventually cause gossip, so why bother?" she paused, "Maybe the Xu family is also working on this idea." ”

Qin Zhonghai hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let the child go with me to offer condolences first." When the time comes, depending on the situation, if there is nothing to do, Brother Jian will naturally come back. He has just been lifted, even if there is no banquet at home to celebrate, his classmates in the same year will also come to congratulate, and relatives and friends will come to the door when they get the news. My third brother and I both went to Xu's house, and there was no man at home, so could it be that we should ask Brother Su and Brother Shun to come forward to entertain, or let Chu Liang do the work for me, or ask the third uncle to come forward? Brother Jian came back early, so that he could greet the relatives and friends who came to congratulate him. ”

Seeing that her husband was persuaded by herself, Yao was secretly happy in her heart, and leaned forward and said, "If the Xu family really needs manpower, the second master might as well bring Qin Su with him." Although he is a concubine, he is also the grandson of his wife, and he wants to call his uncle and grandmother to his wife. He is almost sixteen now, and he has read for a few years and knows some etiquette. When Brother Jian returned home, let him stay in the Xu family and give the second and third masters a start. She lowered her voice, "If the Xu family or Mrs. is still bent on getting married, the Xu family's Sister Lan will be married this month, and she and Su Ge'er are a good match." "Marrying such a concubine, Qin Su's future in this life is estimated to be like this, and he will have to suffer in the future.

Qin Zhonghai frowned and said, "The Xu family is doing funerals now, why are you mentioning this kind of thing?"

The girl took the plain clothes, and he immediately went into the room to change into them, and without saying much to his wife, he went out.

Yao's heart was a little unhappy, if her husband was relieved, this would have decided the marriage between Qin Su and Xu Lan, how good would it be? Otherwise, Xu Lan would have to keep filial piety, but she, the mother-in-law, would have to start looking at the future wife for her concubine. Where is she so impatient to do such a thing?!

Yao's heart became more and more irritable, and he couldn't help but spit in the direction of the room where Qin Su's mother, Aunt Hu, lived, and thought that his son had finally been lifted, and it was the time for the whole family to be happy, so he should be congratulated. You must know how rare it is to be able to pass the examination at Qin Jian's age! But Mrs. Xu died at this time, causing their Qin family to accommodate the Xu family's mood, and they can't even put on a family banquet and have fun with their own family, and the Xu family will really cause trouble for people! If they die, they will not die honestly and quietly, and they will add bad luck to people!

Yao sulked in the house for a while, and it wasn't until the girls came to report that the Cai family had sent someone to congratulate him, so he got up, showed his smile again, and greeted him with joy.

Qin Jian didn't stay in the Xu family for a long time, and stayed for two hours before going home. It's not that the Xu family has no idea about his marriage at all, but Qin Zhonghai ordered it like this, and the Xu family has no reason to force him to stay. As for Xu, now she is crying sadly. She actually doesn't have too deep affection for her eldest sister-in-law, she is so sad, just sad for the future of the Xu family.

Master Xu resigned before he had a stroke and did not mention it, as soon as Mrs. Xu died at this time, Uncle Xu would be worried, and it was still unknown whether he could be reinstated after the expiration of the filial piety period. Second Master Xu's official position is not affected for the time being, but his official position is not high, and he does not have much real power. The most important thing is that Xu Zheng will not be able to participate in the examination in the spring of the year, and Xu Rong originally said that he would take the children's examination next year, but now he will definitely not be able to. The latter can wait for one more year, and the delay of the former will have to move back at least three years to the time for entering the examination. Can the current Xu family really afford to delay these three years?

Xu Zheng can't keep up with the follow-up, and the Xu family may only have the small official position of Uncle Xu or the second master for a long time. That's not a big deal.

There is also Xu Xiu, Xu originally wanted to promote her relationship with Lu Chuming. Now that she wants to keep her filial piety, how can she move to a relative's house? Let alone propose to kiss! If she only waits for a year, she can go ahead as originally planned. I'm afraid that with this year's time, Qin Youzhen took the opportunity to set up a family affair for Lu Chuming, but the Xu family didn't even have the confidence to oppose it!

How many things have been delayed by Mrs. Xu's death? Xu Zheng's relationship with Miss Lu will also be postponed for a year. What is this?

Xu secretly thought in her heart, the eldest sister-in-law has been talking about the good of the family's descendants all her life, and she always has to work against herself in Xu Zheng's marriage, but when she dies, it is dragging the whole family back, why can't she last longer?

The more Xu thought about it, the more sad she became, where did she notice that her grandson had already taken the first step? However, even if she really detained people, it was useless, where was the time to match the marriage of juniors? People came and went, crying moved the sky, and if there was a slight disobedience to etiquette, the Xu family would be poked in the back!

Qin Jian returned to his home so smoothly, and Qin Xun, who was catching up with the second room, was ordered by his father to come over to congratulate Wanxi, and was about to take the recent article to Yongjiahou Mansion to ask Qin Bai for homework. There are so many children in the family, and many people have asked Qin Bai for advice on weekdays, but no one expected that he would really teach a young man to lift people. Qin Bofu was a little nervous, it didn't matter if he couldn't pull his face, his only son was going to school, and he could just hug Yongjiahou's thigh.

Qin Jian originally wanted to go to Sanfang, so he simply took Qin Xun over. When he arrived at the study outside the Dexi Mansion, he heard Qin Han really happily talking to the third uncle Qin Bai in the house from a distance, so he walked in with a smile: "What happened to the third sister?

Qin Hanzhen looked back and saw that it was him and Qin Xun, and it was not easy to step forward to beat someone, so he gave him a blank look: "What is Brother Lobby talking about? I am happy because I just received a letter from Jinling." ”

Her cousin Wu Shaoying, whose term of office has expired, is ready to return to the capital to report on his work.
