Chapter 197: Ventilation
Yao Shi made an excuse and left Songfeng Hall.
She doesn't care very much about being sneered at by her sister-in-law Qin Youzhen, and she will sneer back. But her mother-in-law personally said that her maiden family was not compatible with Qin Youzhen's in-law's family, which was really embarrassing. You must know that as the granddaughter of the Wang family, the daughter of the Yao family, family background used to be the proudest thing of the Yao family. Who would have thought that in just a few years, everything would be turned upside down. The Wang family was defeated, and the Yao family also lost the pillar of the family. Yao is not very used to this sense of disparity.
Especially the younger brother and sister Min's maiden family is now in full swing, and even as the brothers and nephews of the Min family gradually emerge in the army, the Min family has slowly transformed into a famous family in the army like the Cai family and the Ma family. This made Yao's mood more and more irritable.
She didn't know how to deal with such a change, and all she could do now was to run away from the topic.
After Yao left, the room was quiet for a while.
There was a slight hint of targeting in Xu's words, and even those who were as dull as Niu could hear it, and naturally knew that Yao's had a bit of a taste of running away. Niu looked at Xu with some puzzlement: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" But what did Zhonghai's daughter-in-law do not do well, and make you unhappy?"
Qin Hanzhen looked at Xu with some curiosity.
Xu Shi said lightly: "Zhonghai's daughter-in-law has been a little unpleasant recently, she should beat a few words, otherwise she doesn't know what will happen." ”
Niu Shi blinked: "Is it for the previous Youyi's business, or is it Brother Jian'er's marriage?"
Xu Shi coughed lowly, glanced at Qin Hanzhen, and then looked at Niu, suggesting that the latter should not be too straightforward in front of the juniors.
Niu didn't take it to heart, and she didn't discuss related topics with her granddaughter at home, and she didn't think there was anything to avoid. The granddaughter Qin Hanzhen has also expressed her opinions many times, she is smarter and more insightful than the nephews and daughters-in-law of the long house, and she also told her a lot of things she didn't know before.
Niu directly expressed his opinion: "Youyi's matter, Zhonghai's daughter-in-law is a little disagreeable, and she is embarrassed by her sister-in-law for some reason, which is very undeserved." However, Brother Jane's marriage, the eldest sister-in-law is not good to complain about her. After all, Brother Jian is her son, what kind of daughter-in-law she wants to marry in the future, how can she not ask her what she means? Although the eldest sister-in-law is quite optimistic about her mother's niece and nephew, it is more or less out of selfishness, right? In the eyes of my uncle and grandmother, who are separated from the room, I feel that Brother Jian is a little aggrieved when she marries the sister of the Xu family, let alone Zhonghai's daughter-in-law. In the whole family, few people agreed with the eldest sister-in-law's idea. Even the eldest lady of the Xu family dislikes that our family is not a scholarly family but a relative, and she doesn't want to marry our family. Why is the eldest sister-in-law so thankless? No one dislikes it, and she still has to rush to get married. ”
The Xu family was a little embarrassed by the sudden speech of the old woman, but the misunderstanding still has to be explained clearly: "The third brother and sister misunderstood, the Xu family did not dislike our Qin family." They can't dislike it. "The Xu family doesn't have this confidence, and besides, she has already married into the Qin family, and now it is her biological son who is in charge of the Chengenhou Mansion. How could the Xu family dislike their own blood and flesh?
Niu sneered and said: "Come on, sister-in-law, everyone is a relative, who can hide it from anyone? We have heard it a long time ago, but that is what Mrs. Xu said herself, can there be a fake?"
Xu blushed slightly, but was speechless. Mrs. Xu did say that the Chengenhou Mansion was a relative, and the ancestor was a military general, not a scholarly family, and it was not suitable to marry the Xu family, but that was for the marriage between Xu Zheng and Qin Jinhua, not the marriage between Xu Xiu and Qin Jian. Mrs. Xu hopes that Xu Zheng, the eldest grandson who has high hopes, can marry a daughter of a scholarly family, so she looks down on Qin Jinhua of Chengenhou Mansion. But she didn't say that she didn't want to marry her eldest granddaughter Xu Xiu into the Qin family. On the contrary, she prefers to facilitate the family business. After all, the importance of the Chengenhou Mansion to the Xu family exists objectively. It's a pity that the Xu family can't defend the eldest sister-in-law now, and even if she tells the truth, there will be no improvement in the situation. What is the difference between disliking Qin Jinhua and disliking Qin Jian? In the final analysis, it is just that the Xu family has higher expectations for Xu Zheng's marriage. For Xu Xiu, the Chengenhou Mansion may already be the best person she can climb.
Niu asked Xu: "The eldest sister-in-law is now strongly advocating the marriage between Brother Jian and the sister of the Xu family, so what should Jinhua girl do?
Xu Shi coughed lightly: "It's nothing, third brother and sister, don't listen to those gossip......" His face was a little uncomfortable, obviously weak.
Qin Youzhen saw it clearly from the side, and her heart was a little sour. Well, now that she has reaffirmed, in the Qin family's room, even the aunt who has always loved her has never thought of asking for Qin Jian to marry her daughter Yue Niang as his wife. What else does she want? Clean up her mood as soon as possible, ask her aunt to help pull the strings, and find a decent and good family for her daughter, it may not be worse than Qin Jian.
Qin Hanzhen looked at the sad expression that flashed on her eldest aunt Qin Youzhen's face suspiciously, I don't know what happened to her? The Xu family and the Niu family had a small quarrel, what was Qin Youzhen silently sad?
The conversation between Niu and Xu is still ongoing. She said to Xu: "Sister-in-law, I know that you are thinking about your mother's family. If it were me, I would also seek more benefits for my mother's family, so after all, I am a blood relative, how can I really spill the water from my married daughter? It's just that you also have to think about it, no matter how close your mother's family is, there is no flesh that has fallen from your own body, right? Brother Jian is your own grandson, and Jinhua girl is your own granddaughter, so you are willing to let them be wronged, just to fulfill the grandchildren and granddaughters of your mother's brothers? That is not your own flesh and blood! You also think about Brother Jian'er's future, if he is really a sister who marries the Xu family, and hears the Xu family laugh at him every day that he is not from a scholarly family, can he be happy? The Xu family still wants our Qin family to pull him out, what will Brother Jian do in the future? Could it be that he wants to pull his uncle in the past? He still expects others to help him!"
Xu Shi was unhappy in his heart, and the smile on his face disappeared: "Third brother and sister, I know that you are a straight intestine, and you have always spoken directly. It's just that in front of me, isn't it too much for you to say that my mother's family is not?"
Niu Shi snorted: "I'm afraid that if you say it too tactfully, you pretend to be confused." In fact, sister-in-law, you know very well in your heart, you are so smart, how can you not understand? You just can't let it go. In fact, the Xu family does not have only one Xu Zheng, let alone one sister. The Qin family also does not have only one Brother Jian and one Jinhua. If two families want to get married, they don't need to stare at one or two children. If Brother Jian has another good marriage, you still have to stop your head for a little selfishness, not to mention Zhong Hai's daughter-in-law, even Zhong Hai, I'm afraid you won't be happy, right? I advise you to relax, don't be too stubborn. In fact, as long as the children can live well, who says that they have to marry someone? With you, the Qin and Xu families are close enough, so why do you have to make any kisses?"
Xu looked at Niu with some surprise: "What are you talking about?" Could it be that Niu refers to another candidate for marriage? But among the remaining children of the Qin and Xu families, Qin Su, the second son of Qin Zhonghai, and Xu Lan, the concubine of the Xu family, are the only ones who are of the right age and have the same status, and they can't be Xu Rong and Qin Jinrong, right? But what good can the marriage between the concubines and concubines do to the relationship between the two families? Qin Su is not valued by Qin Zhonghai, and he is the thorn in the side of the Yao family, and sooner or later they will have to split up. Even if this marriage is completed, it will be of little use to the Xu family, how can it be compared to the marriage of the sons and daughters?
Xu couldn't help but say: "Third brother and sister, you never care about these things on weekdays, why did you suddenly become enthusiastic today?" Could it be that who told Niu what to say?
Niu shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm suddenly enthusiastic, it's that I see you and Zhonghai's daughter-in-law competing here every day, and I'm worried about you." This year is the year of autumn, and Brother Jian is preparing for the exam. You are fighting at home all day long, what do you think when you let your child see it? How can he settle down to study? Like you, who are fighting each other openly and secretly, even if you really have a good marriage to find Brother Jian, you will be delayed. In my opinion, you might as well ask Zhonghai what he means. He, who is Lao Tzu, can always be the master of his son's affairs, right?"
Xu Shi heard something: "What news have the third brothers and sisters heard?
Niu refused to reveal: "If someone really takes a fancy to Brother Jian'er, he will ask someone to deliver the message, what are you anxious about?" You still ask Brother Jian what he means, and then discuss it with Zhong Hai." Marriage is a major event that cannot be overlooked. Sister-in-law, don't get angry with Zhonghai's daughter-in-law because of Youyi's matter, so she just thinks about messing with her regardless of it, and beware of delaying the right thing!"
That's all Niu is willing to say. In fact, she was also thinking about Qin Jian, afraid that he would really make the secret fight between his grandmother and mother delay the real good marriage. But the Cai family didn't have the right words, she didn't have evidence, so it was not easy to talk nonsense, so she could only tell her words to this point, and then she had to rely on Changfang to inquire by herself. Maybe she can let her husband Qin Bai go to Qin Zhonghai to talk to him? After all, according to what Zhao Mo said, Cai Shizi is not generally interested in Qin Jian, and it is likely that he is the candidate for his sister-in-law. Qin Jian is thin-skinned, and may not tell her family about this, so she will help him.
However, the Niu family was also afraid that the Xu family would ask again, and she was not good at telling the name of the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, so she deduced that it was not early, and hurriedly pulled her granddaughter Qin Hanzhen away, but she didn't care about calling Qin Bai in the front yard.
Xu didn't stop the old woman, but the doubts in her heart were getting bigger and bigger. She asked Min and Qin Youzhen: "Did you third aunt have something to say? Could it be that someone really revealed it to her and was interesting to us Brother Jian?"
Min paused hesitantly and shook his head. It's about Qin Jian in Xiaochangfang, it's better for her not to be too troublesome.
Qin Youzhen has given up Qin Jian, the candidate for the fast son-in-law of Chenglong, but she can look at the problem from a more detached perspective: "I heard Chu Ming mention it, it seems that after the Spring Festival banquet that day, Cai Shizi called a group of young people to go out for a drink, asked Brother Jian a lot of words, and asked him if he was engaged. Cai Jia...... Aren't there a few daughters?"
"Yunyang Marquis Mansion?!" Xu's eyes lit up, she lowered her head and thought about it, "I remember that day, it seems that even Brother Zheng went?
Qin Youzhen glanced at Xu Shi in surprise, and then said: "Chu Ming mentioned that Cai Shizi just asked him a few words with Brother Zheng, and there was nothing else, but he was closer to Brother Jian, Yu Gongzi and the King of Suning County." Uncle, why did you suddenly ask about this? Didn't you say that Brother Zheng'er is expected to marry a noble girl?"
Xu's eyes flashed slightly, pursed his lips and did not speak.
