Chapter 312: Old Mother
Huang Qingfang has not been married in the past five or six years. She lives with her brother Huang Jincheng, but spends most of the year traveling. There is a family with the Ding family, there are many girls and mothers-in-law, Huang Jincheng is also willing to provide for his sister's expenses, and his sister-in-law has no complaints, she has a very leisurely life.
Qin Hanzhen has always maintained correspondence with her, all of which were forwarded through Wu Shaoying, and occasionally learned about her from Wu Shaoying, so he also knows more about her situation in the past few years.
Since the marriage between Huang Qingfang and Zhang Gongzi was blown up, the marriage between Zhang Gongzi and the eldest granddaughter of the Wang family was not smooth, and the divorce ended, the Wang family was unlucky, and it also affected the Zhang family. The Huang family is naturally dark, but Huang Qingfang is getting older, and they are also anxious about her marriage. In the past few years, the Huang family has not shown Huang Qingfang Xiangxiang, but she has been reluctant to come back from Jinling, and she is obviously not concerned about getting married, Huang Jincheng is also willing to indulge his sister, and the family is helpless no matter how anxious they are. When Huang Qingfang was over twenty years old and had no plans to get married, the Huang family's heart gradually calmed down.
After all, this daughter has suffered an unjustified disaster, and the setbacks she encountered in marriage are somewhat due to the improper marriage of the elders in the family. And she will be deliberately ruined by the Zhang and Wang families, and she will also be affected by the family. Since she lost confidence in marrying because of the failed marriage contract, and was only willing to stay in her parents' house to live a leisurely life, the family could only indulge her. The Huang family has a big business and can afford to raise a daughter. Anyway, Huang Jincheng is the future head of their family, he doesn't care if his sister refuses to marry, what do others have to say?
The Huang family discussed it privately and decided not to force Huang Qingfang anymore. If she is willing to marry in the future, it will be great, but if she is not willing to marry, then stay in her mother's house for the rest of her life, and it is nothing. The family members all think that the latter is more likely, because at her current age, if she really wants to get married, it is estimated that she can only be a step-room, so what kind of good marriage can be said? It is better to stay at home, anyway, her nephews and grandchildren will always support her in the future.
Huang Jincheng and Huang Qingfang's mother, Mrs. Huang San, for the sake of her daughter's future livelihood, specially picked out a Zhuangzi from the dowry and assigned it to her daughter's name to provide her daughter's daily expenses, so as to save her future children and grandchildren from bullying her aunt and grandmother who did not marry.
Huang Qingfang, the eldest sister who married into the Min family, also has a lot of private houses on hand, and even gave her sister a shop in the capital, not to mention the pocket money that Huang Jincheng and his wife have stuffed into their little sister in the past few years.
Huang Qingfang is quite rich now, although she has not yet reached the point of being entrenched, even if she does not rely on her nephews and grandchildren to support her, as long as she spends money and does not spend a lot of money, she can live a comfortable life.
When Qin Hanzhen corresponded with her, he gave her a lot of suggestions, such as when she went out to travel, she often took a boat to take the waterway, there was more space on the boat, she could bring some light and sought-after goods, sell them in other places, and the money she earned could subsidize transportation expenses and living expenses; Anyway, Huang Jincheng has to send letters to his home almost every month, and Zhao Mo has a fixed cooperation with the Qin family, and he has a long-term contract with Huang Jincheng, so it is not a big deal to ask someone to carry a few large bags of goods.
Huang Qingfang has adopted a lot of Qin Hanzhen's suggestions, and now he is very loose at hand, and he is more comfortable when he travels. Qin Hanzhen has all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, and can only take her letters as a travelogue, and she is addicted to travel. It's a pity that except for the few times when she went to Jiangnan and Lingnan a few years ago, she estimates that there will not be many days in her life when she can go out to visit the mountains and rivers. When he marries Zhao Mo, his freedom to travel will be greatly reduced. The clan vassal king is not where he wants to go, he can go anywhere.
Qin Hanzhen let out a long sigh and put the matter aside. It's useless to just envy others, it will only make herself more and more uncomfortable, so she should focus on her own life. Thinking about how Zhao Mo has been getting along with her, this fiancé is still quite good. With his company, it doesn't seem to be too sad to be able to travel, anyway, the road conditions and means of transportation in this era are not satisfactory, and it is too hard to travel outside, so she might as well stay in her own home and enjoy the quiet.
Qin Han is really calm, but she is very happy that Huang Qingfang is going back to Beijing, and she will have another good friend who can come and go from time to time in the future. Niu was a little happy, but it was a little different: "Amitabha! Sister Fang is going back to Beijing, and she won't leave again in the future, right? Your father will come back next year, maybe he can match them." That year, we went to Guangzhou, so we said that we brought Sister Fang with us, but when we arrived in Guangzhou, your father was like a piece of wood, and he refused to even say a word to Sister Fang, let alone be close to other girls, and he was stunned at all. I asked him to accompany us to the pier for a stroll and say goodbye to Mazu, and he actually asked someone else to be our guide. I was about to be angry with him, and I deserved Sister Fang'er to ignore him! Until I left Guangzhou and returned, I didn't blush once! I couldn't just leave the girl behind, so I had to die. When they are both in the capital next year, your father can't escape if he wants to, so I have to persuade him to nod and be willing to marry again this time!"
Qin Hanzhen couldn't help coughing: "Grandmother, don't be like this." Although you like Aunt Huang and want her to be your daughter-in-law, Aunt Huang doesn't want to get married, don't make it too obvious, make everyone embarrassed, and relatives don't get along well. ”
Niu sighed: "Can I still not understand this truth? It's just that your father is too angry! What is wrong with Sister Fang? Where is not worthy of him? How can he leave such a beautiful big girl there and be indifferent? Could it be that he really plans to be a widower for the rest of his life? In the future, when he is old and sick, who will serve him? Who will inherit his incense? Although his younger brother has more than one son, how can his nephew not be as close as his own flesh and blood!"
Qin Hanzhen was silent for a while, and wanted to say that the cheap father still had her own flesh and blood, and it was a big deal to take Qin Ping to Suning for the elderly in the future. But thinking that Qin Ping was only in his thirties, he was going to be lonely for the rest of his life, and it was too pitiful, so she was silent. Seeing that Niu Shi vented for a while, it seemed that his anger had almost disappeared, and then he tried to change the topic: "Uncle Wu and Lord Huang are going back to the capital, they are both in Jinling, think about the departure day is about the same, will they go together?"
Niu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Yes, they were quite familiar with each other when they were in Jinling." In the past few years, I have been paying attention to Sister Fang's news, and often let Shaoying come to Huang's house as a guest. Since they are all going back to Beijing, they will definitely go together! I have to send someone to bring a letter to Shaoying, so that he can keep an eye on Sister Fang'er's news from time to time, and then help inquire about whether her brother has arranged a marriage for her. Your father is the most suitable candidate for her, and the two of them are the most compatible regardless of their family background or appearance and age!"
Qin Hanzhen was suspicious of this, but she was smart not to refute her grandmother's meaning.
However, when Niu mentioned the marriage of his eldest son, he fell into his heart. She ran to find her husband Qin Bai and asked, "Brother Ping's term of office expires next year, and he should leave Guangzhou, right? I can't let him stay so far away anymore! Brother An has come home, and Brother Ping should also come back." It's time for him to marry again - Sister Fang of the Huang family is going back to Beijing with Jincheng, and I am thinking about going to the Huang family to find out the wind and let them look at each other. Where can I find such a good daughter-in-law? In the past, I knew that Brother Ping felt uncomfortable and didn't force him, but he was in his thirties and had no son, so the marriage couldn't be delayed any longer! Could it be that he would marry again when the third girl got married and had a child?
Qin Bai was dumbfounded when he heard this, he never expected that his wife would already think of her granddaughter getting married and having children, and she said helplessly after a while: "Aren't you able to identify the girl of the Huang family?" Don't be too persistent." Brother Ping treated her a little coldly at the beginning, and they should have no intention of each other. If the marriage between the two can be successful, it means that Brother Ping has a fate with others, and if the marriage can't be successful, you don't have to say anything. Marriage is not a matter of hard work. As for Brother Ping, this kind of thing always depends on his own intentions, otherwise you will force him to marry a wife, and it will be impossible to force him to enter a new house, right? Between Brother Ping and his former daughter-in-law, there have been many irreparable regrets. Why do you want your son to marry a second time, and he can't have a good time?"
Niu Shi fell silent after saying this, and his eyes turned red: "Could it be that I deliberately forced my son to marry a girl I don't like?" In fact, as long as he is willing to marry again, don't live a lonely life like now, I will admit whoever he marries." But he doesn't listen, he only coaxes me, but in fact, he always says to me in the left ear and out of the right ear. I'm also thinking about his future, why can't he understand his mother's heart?! The eldest daughter-in-law died unjustly, and I am also sad, but after so many years, Brother Ping should also come out. Seeing him suffer like this, I really feel uncomfortable!"
As she spoke, she lowered her head and wiped away her tears: "Brother An's marriage was not good, and he said that he wanted to live with a girl for the rest of his life, but now he hasn't married a good daughter-in-law, gave birth to a son, and was promoted, and returned to the capital, and the family is harmonious." He is doing so well, and I think of his brother's situation now, and my heart hurts. What did Brother Ping do wrong? He should have lived a good life like his younger brother! But why, even Brother An can enjoy happiness, but Brother Ping has such a hard time?"
Qin Bai was silent. He handed his wife a handkerchief, but he sighed as well.
