Remember [Biquge Chinese Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.
The wife of the patriarch of the clan first sent her henchmen to Huzhou to inquire about the situation of the nephew of the Mao family, and there was a reply within a few days. Everything Niu said was true, no oil or vinegar. And the henchman found an opportunity, glanced at the nephew of the Mao family from a distance, and reported that he was a handsome descendant. Inquire about his reputation in Huzhou City, and no one will say anything bad. If it weren't for his mother's too high vision, while anxious to ask his son to marry a wife, and at the same time he couldn't bear to ask his son to marry a girl with a slightly inferior family background, he would not have dragged on until now he is still a bachelor.
Although the other party's fame is not as good as Wu Shaoying's, he is much younger, and he is from a big family, so he is much stronger than Wu Shaoying's background as an orphan from a poor family. It's not wrong to marry a house in name, but in fact it's a yuan match. Miss Shen herself also missed the flowering period because of filial piety, and when others came to kiss, it was originally mostly said that the house was filled and continued, or the family background was inferior, and there was no comparison with the nephew of the Mao family. If it weren't for Qin An's previous incident and raising the standard, the Shen family's expectations for Shen's marriage would probably be nothing more than that. Most of the daughters in the Shen family may not be able to marry so well.
The patriarch's wife felt that Mao Xiucai had not insulted her eldest nephew, so she went to tell the second master Shen.
Who knew that Second Master Shen was still a little disgusted: "No matter how good he is, he can't compare with the Hou Mansion." This Mao family is just a nephew of Yongjiahou's old friend, and he really married his eldest sister, how can we get involved with the Hou Mansion? Without this level of friendship, it will not be convenient to speak in the future, so I beg Mrs. Hou to help our second sister talk about a good family matter. ”
The patriarch's wife was so angry that her face darkened, and she said coldly: "Where in the world is there a reason to treat a concubine as a stepping stone for a concubine's marriage? You just have to live with your little concubine and concubine, and in the future, if you want to ask us to match your baby second sister, you won't think about it!"
Second Master Shen was a little sneering: "Why should my sister be angry? I also feel sorry for the child." If you can get closer to the Hou Mansion, not only will the marriage of the second sister be settled, but even a few of their brothers will be able to get a little light, right?"
The patriarch's wife sneered, ignored him, and went straight to the Songjiang Shen clan to discuss, and asked what the eldest girl Shen and her brothers meant. This matter needs to be done quickly, the news from Huzhou is clear, the nephew of the Mao family is very popular, if his mother really can't hold on, in order to let her son marry quickly, the requirements for her daughter-in-law will be lowered by one or two points, and there are good girls in Huzhou who are willing to marry him. Not to mention anything else, the Niu family once said in passing, saying that this nephew of the Mao family, she originally wanted to tell the girl in the Qin clan, but she didn't find a good candidate for a while.
When Niu said this, he was actually just urging the patriarch's wife. But the patriarch's wife knew better than her what good girls of the right age there were in the Qin clan. For example, Sister Shu in the fifth room, she will be in time for the spring next year, she is the daughter of Xiucai, her brother is a child, and she is also one of the children of the Qin family who are talented in scientific research in the family science. Compared with Miss Shen's father and brother, who did not have a good reputation, Sister Shu and the nephew of the Mao family seem to be more compatible. Besides, she is the eldest daughter in the family, and she has also studied for a few years, she is gentle and sensible, and her appearance is also beautiful. Although the Qin family is not as prominent as the Shen family in terms of family background, if it is blessed by the identity of Yongjiahou's niece, once Qin Bai opens his mouth, the Mao family will not refuse. The patriarch's wife had to push out her eldest niece before Qin Bai and the Niu clan remembered that Sister Shu was such a candidate. Otherwise, once the daughter of the Qin family participates in it, as the wife of the Qin clan, she will no longer be biased towards her mother's family, and she will not be able to explain to the clan.
The reply from the Shen family came quickly, from the patriarch to the brothers of the eldest girl Shen, all of them had no opinions, and left it to their aunt and wife to decide. Miss Shen's eldest brother also came from Songjiang to see her sister and asked her if she was willing.
Miss Shen kept her head down and didn't speak, didn't say she was willing, and she didn't say she was unwilling. Her brother was anxious: "What does the eldest sister mean? If you don't want to marry in Huzhou, you should quickly explain it, and I can go and ask my aunt." Otherwise, once my aunt sends a matchmaker over, it will be too late for my eldest sister to regret it!"
Miss Shen whispered for a long time: "Where is my turn to intervene in this kind of thing? Doesn't it mean to look at my father and aunt? What else can I say besides obeying the arrangements of my elders?"
Her brother was puzzled: "There seems to be resentment in the words of the eldest sister, if you think the Mao family is not good, then just tell me." If you're embarrassed to say it, I'll say it for my sister, how about it?"
Miss Shen pursed her lips, bowed her head again and said nothing, silently her eyes turned red.
Her brother was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "The eldest sister refuses to speak, but how can you let my brother help you?!! It's a pity that Miss Shen has always been strict with the girls, and the girls don't dare to say much.
Her brother had no choice but to say: "Since my sister refuses to tell the truth, I only think my sister is willing." Tomorrow morning, I will go back to my aunt and ask her to make decisions about your marriage. If my sister has anything to say, she can come to me tonight. ”
He turned his head and left, just waiting for his sister to go and tell him what was in his heart, but he didn't know that as soon as he left on his front foot, Miss Shen was crying at the desk.
The personal girl persuaded her: "Why doesn't the girl refuse to tell the truth to the uncle? Mrs. Gu asked the girl to come to live earlier, because she wanted to tell the second son of the Hou Mansion, but later felt that the second son of the Hou Mansion was not good, and it was not as good as Wu Jinshi, so the girl let the girl of the Feng family go first, so that she could get a good marriage." Now Mrs. Gu thinks that Wu Jinshi is not good again, so she looks at the last Mao Xiucai, and still fills the house. The people who told the girl are not as good as the other. Mrs. Gu behaved like this, how could the girl not be wronged in her heart?"
Miss Shen choked up with tears and said, "Needless to say, my aunt is always for my good." If I don't have my aunt to make the decision and act according to my father's wishes, I can only marry my second sister, and I am afraid that it will be even more unbearable to marry. Since my aunt nodded, I just did what I was told. Why bother talking too much? I don't have to call me undignified. As he spoke, another wave of sorrow came from it.
She is not stupid, how can she not see it? Before Wu Shaoying came to Jinling, neither her aunt nor Yongjiahou's wife, Niu, felt that there was anything wrong with this family business. As soon as Wu Shaoying came, the marriage partner was changed. No matter what reason Wu Shaoying used, she always disliked her. In the past few months, she only thought that she would definitely marry into the Wu family, and she also secretly inquired about his behavior, and she had already thought about how to get along in the future, but now she ended up like this. I don't know what I've done badly, and I'm disgusted. But since everyone has revealed that they don't want to get married, what's the use of her pestering? As for Mao Xiucai, although it is not bad, it is a pity that he is worried about his deceased fiancée in front of him, even if he is a lover, he is not affectionate to her.
Anyway, she is not young anymore, where is there room for pickiness? If she really has a good family, she will give it to her second sister first. The Mao family's family business is just right, and the second sister must not look down on it. She got married as soon as possible, and she was able to get rid of the quagmire at home as soon as possible and live a quiet life. No matter what Mao Xiucai thinks, if they really become husband and wife, she just does her duty and respects each other like guests.
Miss Shen is a casual character, no matter whether she has grievances in her heart or not, she never said a "no" to the arrangement of the elders in marriage. Her brother waited all night, didn't wait for his sister to say what he wanted, sighed helplessly, and had to ask his aunt again and again, knowing that the nephew of the Mao family was indeed a good object, and he planned to go to Huzhou in person after the year to meet this future sister-in-law candidate, so that he could rest assured that his sister would be entrusted to the other party.
The Shen family made up their minds here, and the Niu family hurriedly informed Qin Bai, and Qin Bai wrote a letter to Master Mao to be a matchmaker. The Mao family also soon heard back, they had already heard of the reputation of the Songjiang Shen family, and if he could marry the daughter of such a big family, it would also be a blessing for his nephew. They were very grateful to Qin Bai for helping to be this matchmaker.
Mao Xiucai's mother was also overjoyed, and solemnly entrusted Mr. and Mrs. Mao with her sick body, asking them to make sure that this family business was done for their son. Master Mao replied to Qin Bai, saying that he would come to visit him in the first month, and then discuss it with the Shen family. If everything goes well, you can make a decision in the first month, you can have a dowry after the beginning of spring, and you can do a happy event at the turn of spring and summer, and both families are happy.
This small turmoil caused by Wu Shaoying's refusal to marry finally calmed down, and as long as the Mao and Shen families agreed on a marriage alliance, they could directly do a happy event. After all, Mao Xiucai's mother didn't know how long she could last, so she always had to rush in before she closed her eyes and let Miss Shen enter the door.
Miss Shen calmly accepted her future. However, Shen Er Girl laughed in private: "What kind of good family can she marry, she was so picky at first, and she was not happy how many good family things her aunt said in front of her father, but now she still has to fill the house? Knowing this, it was better to agree to marry an old man to fill the house, but he was also an official, which was better than showing talent. ”
Miss Shen silently listened to her sister's cynicism, but she didn't hear it. Anyway, since my sister doesn't look down on this family business, she will never rob it again. She can spend the last few months at home quietly, and then get married, and her sister's future is no longer irrelevant to her.
Qin Hanzhen naturally knew nothing about these small contradictions between the sisters of the Shen family. She only heard that Miss Shen and the nephew of the Mao family had preliminarily decided on the family matter, and the details could not be agreed upon until the first month when Master Mao came to Jiangning. Wu Shaoying rejected the Shen family's family affairs, and the remaining problems were resolved peacefully, and she breathed a sigh of relief for Wu Shaoying.
Soon, Qin Hanzhen didn't have the time to pay attention to the affairs of others. When the day of Guan Rongniang's burial came, she had to wear filial piety in person and send her biological mother to the earth for peace.
On this day, Wu Shaoying also took leave in the yamen, and came to Qinzhuang early to see his cousin on his last journey. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
