Chapter 639: Cold
Xu had just opened his mouth to say a few words: "Sister Xiu'er's family affairs, I have ......" was interrupted by Grandma Xu: "Sister Xiu's family affairs, our husband and wife already have a charter." ”
Xu was stunned for a moment. She is used to making decisions in the marriage of the nephews and grandchildren of the Xu family, and the previous question is just a meaning to ask, just an opening remark, and she never thought that Uncle Xu and his wife already have a charter. At this time, she was interrupted by Grandma Xu, and her face quickly showed a stunned look: "What?"
Uncle Xu's expression was a little embarrassed, but he was bumped on the arm by his wife, Grandma Xu, and he still replied stubbornly: "Our husband and wife have already given Sister Xiu a good family business." This one...... I don't have to worry about this for the time being. After finishing speaking, he felt that this was a little unpolite, and hurriedly added, "If the family can't do it, please ask my aunt to come forward." "It's a little safer.
Grandma Xu glanced at her husband, although she was a little dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything. This is also just in case, always leave a way back for yourself.
Xu Shi frowned: "Which family's son is it? When did you like it? Are you discussing marriage?"
Uncle Xu was about to answer, but Grandma Xu preemptively said: "I am also a son of a high-ranking official and eunuch family, and I accidentally met it a few days ago, and I seem to be a little sure." It's just that it hasn't been finalized yet, and I don't dare to publicize it everywhere. When it is settled, I will report to my aunt. ”
Xu frowned again. Although it is a customary rule of the Beijing family not to leak news during the discussion period, this rule has always been made by outsiders, and the closest relatives have never been the object of concealment. Not to mention that she is of great significance to the Xu family and has a lofty status, and the younger generations of the Xu family have already violated the convention by going over her to discuss relatives to their children and grandchildren, not to mention that they even have to hide from her? What the hell is Grandma Xu doing?
Xu Shi said unhappily: "What kind of family affairs are you talking about? Since it is a high-ranking official and a eunuch's family, what is there to hide? I am your closest relative, and I will not disclose the news to the outside world at will, which will affect the reputation of my nephew and granddaughter." Instead, if you tell me the name and surname of that family, I can also help inquire about the temperament and morality of the other party's children, and if it is really a rare good family affair, I can also help to talk about it. With Mrs. Chengenhou coming forward, whose high-ranking officials will not give face?"
Grandma Xu tugged at the corners of her mouth and said with a dry smile: "Although Mrs. Gu's words are reasonable, aren't you sick now? How can we disturb your illness for the sake of the juniors? You can rest assured. Wouldn't it be the same decency for us to ask you to come forward and be a big matchmaker after the marriage is agreed?"
Grandma Xu didn't completely put aside Xu's idea of thick thighs. Sometimes, what you can use, you have to use. Even if Xu Xiu is married as a stepfamily, the Xu family's current family background is a bit reluctant to match the Gui family's son-in-law. At that time, it will be necessary for the Chengenhou Mansion to raise Xu Xiu's price. Even if the second son of Gui has the heart of her husband's family again? Her daughter stands out in every way, and she has the support of good elders, and she will give birth to an heir to the second son of Gui in the future, and she is afraid that the Gui family will not be impressed with her? No matter how good the dead yuan match is, in a few years, no one will mention it again.
Xu didn't know what Grandma Xu thought, but he only felt that the nephew and his wife were sneaky, and they were afraid that they were playing some shady idea. Otherwise, if it's really a good family affair, don't you need to hide it from her? Shouldn't you tell her more and let her come forward to say yes? Xu Shi sank his face and said: "What kind of family affairs do you fancy to Sister Xiu'er? If you have a family background that is not a good family, or do you want to be a second-room step-room...... Sister Xiu'er is talented and beautiful, and she should have a bright future, and there is no reason to let you be ruined!"
Uncle Xu's eyes flickered a little. Although the Gui family is a good family, firstly, they are not doing any fair and honest way to get married, and secondly, they do let Xu Xiu be a step-room, so he has no courage to speak clearly to the Xu family. He must wait for the family to agree and there is no regret before he can tell the truth to the Xu family. At that time, the Xu family could not change the facts, and the Gui family was indeed a good family, so the Xu family could only accept it happily. But now, the eight characters have not been skimmed, and of course he can't show his stuffing in front of Xu.
So he could only pretend to be aggrieved and said: "My aunt misunderstood my nephew." No matter how Sister Xiu'er said, she is also her nephew's own flesh and blood, can her nephew still push her into the fire pit? In the past, many good children were selected for her, and they all felt that they were inadequate, and if they were not really good young talents, the nephew and his wife would not be willing to marry their daughter off. It's really ...... This family business is too good, if it can't be done, the news will get out, which will only make Sister Xiu'er's reputation worse. The nephew and his wife really don't dare to be careless anymore! My aunt can just recuperate with peace of mind, and when I have a quasi-letter, my nephew will tell you immediately. When Sister Xiu got married, she had to invite her aunt to watch the ceremony. Whoever your nephew neglects, he won't neglect you!"
Xu Shi was not so easily coaxed by him: "Will I still casually leak the news to the outside world and ruin Sister Xiu'er's reputation? You must at least tell me which family it is? Since you are a serious family and a good family affair, what are you afraid of telling people? You are worried that you will not be able to succeed, and I can still help the trustee to say that I am together! Now in the capital, how many families can not take our Chengenhou Mansion in their eyes?!"
How could Grandma Xu tell the truth? She just laughed: "What I'm afraid of is your enthusiasm, after all, I ...... before." You care so much about Sister Xiu'er's family affairs, and kindly say that you are married, but it is difficult for Sister Xiu'er to see people. My nephew and daughter-in-law are not complaining about you, but I just hope that you can recuperate with peace of mind. These juniors' trivial matters will be left to the nephew and nephew's daughter-in-law. How can we say that we are also Sister Xiu'er's parents, and we can still harm her?"
Xu Shi didn't catch his breath, and immediately coughed for a while, his face was pale, and his chest was suffocated. She could hear that Grandma Xu was actually still complaining about her for the Lu family's family affairs. But how could she be blamed for that incident? She was bent on helping the Xu family get the help of the Lu family's in-laws, but the Xu family was not angry, Qin Youzhen had stiff wings again, and refused to obey her. Uncle Xu and Grandma Xu made stupid moves one after another, but they made things even bigger. The Xu family caused a lot of gossip, half of which was done by their husband and wife, but now they are all to blame!
Xu was angry and aggrieved in her heart, who was she trying her best for? For Xu Xiu's family affairs, even Qin Youzhen was separated from her, and the Lu family brothers treated her with no longer respect and closeness as before, and Uncle Xu and Grandma Xu still blamed her. She was not a person on either side, and no one knew about her hard work, and she was so depressed that she wanted to vomit another mouthful of blood.
Xu Shi was a little disheartened: "Well, since you all said so, then I won't ask more." I hope that what you choose for Sister Xiu'er is really a good family matter. On the day when the family agrees, remember to come and tell me. I don't care what your husband and wife have planned, but Brother Zheng and Sister Xiu grew up under my watch, and I can't really leave them alone. Sister Xiu'er will marry a good family in the future, and I can support her for a few years, and tell her mother-in-law's family not to underestimate her. ”
Grandma Xu was looking forward to her sentence, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Gu is so kind to Sister Xiu'er! Your old man can rest assured, Sister Xiu'er is happy to do this family business. In order to please the housewife, I have been working hard at home these days!"Study hard...... The talents of the second grandmother Gui who died early.
Xu glanced at his nephew and daughter-in-law, his face was tired, and he was in no mood to hide it. She nodded, casually said a few words of gossip to Uncle Xu and Grandma Xu, and closed her eyes.
Hong Yan asked Uncle Xu and his wife to leave, and by the way, he gave Xu a gift prepared for his nephew and nephew in advance. Grandma Xu glanced at it a few times, estimated the value of the gift, and waited until she went out to get into the carriage before she said to her husband: "Mrs. Gu is finally willing to stop, I hope she won't send someone to inquire about which family we have our eyes on." The most important thing in this matter is to keep it secret, once the news leaks out, the Gui family will be vigilant, maybe the family affairs will be ruined! We have to be more wary of Mrs. Gu. ”
Uncle Xu was a little uneasy: "Is this really good?" really offended her, in the future, if the Gui family's family business can't be completed, we won't have the face to ask her to say goodbye to Sister Xiu. Besides, even if Sister Xiu successfully marries into the Gui family, there will still be Sister Lan. ”
Grandma Xu said disapprerovingly: "Sister Lan is easy to handle, she is a concubine, who can't she marry? Those colleagues you have befriended in the past are not without concubines in the family, just pick a scholar who has entered the school and marry Sister Lan'er, are you afraid that you will wronged her?"
Uncle Xu disagreed: "Although Sister Lan is a concubine, she grew up in front of you since she was a child, she was born well, her upbringing is good, and her temperament has always been very well-behaved and pleasing. If she can marry well, she will also be able to help Brother Zheng'er in the future. ”
Grandma Xu said: "Even so, there is nothing difficult. When Sister Xiu married into the Gui family, with the Gui family's in-laws, his family casually helped to find a young talent, which was better than our own selection. Are you still afraid that Sister Lan won't be able to get married?"
Uncle Xu thought about it, so he was relieved. It's just that for Xu Xiu's family affairs, he still can't help but think in pieces: "Is Sister Xiu'er really okay? She is really born like that Gui Er Grandma? Gui Er Gongzi will really appear at the Lantern Festival next year? But when there are so many people at the Lantern Festival, how can Sister Xiu ensure that she can meet him? Do we privately inquire about Gui Ergongzi's other preferences? Brother Zheng went to see him before, and it is said that he gets along well, saying that although he is a little cold, he is extremely gentle and polite, and his knowledge is also very good, and he will have a bright future in the future. I also want to meet him in person, but he is a future son-in-law, but I haven't seen him, and I always feel a little uncertain in my heart. When the Lantern Festival is held next year, will I accompany Sister Xiu'er or Brother Zheng'er......"
Uncle Xu nagged all the way home, and Grandma Xu discussed with him with relish, as if she had seen the scene of the second son of Gui becoming their son-in-law and their daughter Xu Xiu's husband and wife.
