Niu Shi hurriedly asked what was going on, Qin Hanzhen told everything he had witnessed, and sighed at the end: "Uncle Xu and his wife only cared about their grievances and begged the eldest uncle and grandmother to help them make the decision, but they didn't notice that the eldest uncle and grandmother's face was getting more and more ugly and pale, obviously because of their poor physical condition. Although they are blood relatives of the eldest uncle and grandmother, they really don't really care about her. The third uncle will ask the eldest uncle and grandmother if they need to hire a doctor after sending people away, but unfortunately the eldest uncle and grandmother are still thinking about their mother's family, for fear that there will be some bad rumors from the Xu family, which will affect the reputation and hinder Xu Zheng's future future. ”

Niu sighed: "The eldest sister-in-law is really dead-eyed, why can't she twist this bend?"

Qin Bai looked faint: "She has done everything in her life for the Xu family, and she has already regarded the Xu family as her greatest responsibility, and she can even put her own flesh and blood aside, how can she twist this corner?"

Qin Hanzhen said: "When Xu Zheng's marriage was decided before, I thought that the eldest uncle and grandmother should be cold, right? During this time, the second sister also said that she rarely mentioned how the Xu family was, and she didn't say anything about letting the elder brother marry Miss Xu, I thought that the eldest uncle and grandmother would no longer respond to the needs of the mother's family in the future, but I didn't expect it...... She was about to vomit blood just now, and she had to ask the second room of the Xu family if others heard it when she reported the news to the third uncle. I think her loyalty to the Xu family can't be twisted. It's better to be vigilant over there, lest the uncle and grandmother be confused again, and have to sacrifice the children and grandchildren of the family to make up for their mother's family. ”

Niu shook his head when he heard this, and complained about the Xu family: "It's too much! The eldest sister-in-law thinks about her mother's family and thinks about them everywhere. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family went to a relative's house wearing heavy filial piety, saying that they cursed her son, but cursed her mother-in-law to death.

Qin Bai didn't know Grandma Xu's family background, she married into the Xu family twenty years ago, and he was still a teacher in the northwest at that time. In the past, the Niu family would listen to Mrs. Xu and Grandma Xu from time to time to gossip, but she didn't pay attention to it at all, and only vaguely remembered that Grandma Xu's father seemed to be an official in a remote place, and the rest was not clear. However, Qin Hanzhen has a lot of contact with Changfang on weekdays, and sometimes he hears the Yao family complain about the people of the Xu family, so he knows more.

Grandma Xu's father used to be an official and a member of the ranks of high-ranking officials. He has also been a royal history for several years, and it is said that he is very good at participating in people, and he has the reputation of the iron-faced imperial history, and he has never been afraid of offending people, so he has been looked at differently by the emperor, and he has risen to prominence. Many people discussed it in private, and they all felt that he deliberately stepped on others to seek a higher position. After all, he was born in a local rich family, to put it mildly, he is a farming heirloom, and to put it badly, he is a nouveau riche, and his ancestors have only been able to show off their talents, and there are not even a few children, until his generation, there is him as a jinshi, plus his son entered the Guozijian as a shadow - that is, the brother of Grandma Xu. With such a background, he is not a famous teacher, and he is married to the daughter of a county in his hometown - he wants to get ahead, he has no other help, hugging the emperor's thigh, and seeking the saint's favor in the image of a lonely minister, which is the most convenient way.

Uncle Xu happened to see Grandma Xu, and he had admiration, and learned that she was the daughter of a high-ranking official, so he immediately went home and asked his parents to come forward to ask for marriage. At that time, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu's sister-in-law were both opposed to this family business. Mrs. Xu hopes that her eldest son can marry a girl from a relative of her mother's family, who is also the daughter of a famous scholarly family, and her character and upbringing are very reliable, but her father and brother have a lower official position. The Xu family felt that Grandma Xu's father was acting unkindly, not in line with the golden mean of the gentleman, and their family did not have a second talent who could become a climate, it was difficult to support alone, and the clansmen acted with the atmosphere of nouveau riche, and there were no rules, even if they got married, they would not get much help, but they were likely to cause trouble, and it was better to marry the daughter of a low-level official from a big family, which was more affordable.

But in the end, Master Xu's father and son, as well as Mr. Xu's husband and wife, were both confused by the high-ranking title of Grandma Xu's father, and they still formed this family affair - the other party seemed to be very willing to be in-laws with the emperor's relatives. At first, the Xu family was still able to get a little light from this in-law, and when it came to Uncle Xu's father-in-law, many people would look up to him. He himself also felt that if he could marry the Son of Heaven, he would not have to worry about his future in the future. He intensified his studies and prepared to participate in the spring festival of the following year. Because his father-in-law is ready to fight for the position of the servant of the ministry, as long as things go well, Uncle Xu feels that his glorious future is in front of him!

Who would have thought that the intensity of the dispute between the officials and servants that year would be much more than they expected, but Grandma Xu's mother's family went wrong at this time, and in the fish and meat township, there were human lives, and it was publicized to everyone. Grandma Xu's father was affected by the honor guard of the offender and was almost about to lose his official position. It was the emperor who remembered his past merits and was dismissed lightly, only demoting his official rank, and letting him go to remote areas as a governor from the fifth grade, so as to preserve his official career. It's just that since then, he has been rotating in remote areas, and his popularity in the officialdom is not good, and his promotion is extremely slow, and he is still only a fourth grade, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to the original peak in this life.

When Grandma Xu first married into her husband's family, she was also arrogant, and she called her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xu, very unpleasant. However, after her father was demoted, she restrained her arrogance and cautiously became an obedient daughter-in-law. It is said that Grandma Xu grew up with her grandmother when she was a child, and she learned a lot of the ways of a small family, but it was only after her father was promoted and brought her sister and brother to the capital that she asked her mother to raise her and become a lady. However, the country is easy to change, and her nature is difficult to change, without the mother-in-law Dashan who is pressing on her head, she has encountered a crisis again, and she can't help but reveal her true nature.

Qin Hanzhen told his grandparents everything he knew, which deleted countless Yao family's disparaging words about Grandma Xu, but it was not difficult for Qin Bai and Niu to guess that Yao was absolutely disgusted with the Xu family's daughters, and it was impossible to be polite when they said it.

Niu sighed: "No wonder Mrs. Xu always wants to make the decision for her grandson's marriage in person, it turns out that she has already missed a marriage back then." "When the Xu family saw that Grandma Xu's father was a high-ranking official and had a holy family, they ignored the other party's family style, ignored the opposition of Mrs. Xu and the Xu family, and married someone back. Fortunately, the Xu family still needs a little face, and they didn't dislike Grandma Xu because of the accident in their in-laws, and they wanted to toss her. But this is useless, the Xu family's actions have not touched the bottom line, which does not mean that their family's family style is not inappropriate.

Niu said to Qin Bai: "I have to go and see my sister-in-law, if I should persuade him, I still have to persuade him again." Now Brother Jian hasn't decided on a family affair yet, don't let her sell it in a daze. Even if Brother Jian cursed Xu Zheng and her mother, Xu Zheng and her mother came to the door to find bad luck and push the death of her mother-in-law onto others, it was too ridiculous. Maybe the Xu family just wants to take the opportunity to go to the long house, so that Brother Jian and his mother can agree to marry the eldest girl of the Xu family for their son. What if you can't discuss your relatives during the filial piety period? I think the Xu family is becoming more and more shameless now, and this bit of etiquette is nothing to them. As long as the two families have a tacit understanding with each other, they have exchanged Geng posts and tokens in private, and when they are filial piety and then publicize it, how can outsiders know what is going on here?!"

Qin Bai listened, and it was really an important matter, so he took the initiative to say, "I'll accompany you over." ”

Niu was a little unhappy: "I'm going to talk to my sister-in-law, I don't even bring the three girls, there are no juniors in front of me, so I have some things to say." Could it be that I heard that she vomited blood and was distressed?"

Qin Bai glanced at her helplessly: "Han Zhen is here, what are you talking nonsense?" I didn't go to see my sister-in-law, I just said hello to Zhonghai and his wife. If you go and persuade your sister-in-law not to choose a match for Brother Jian, she may not be able to listen. But if I had said it, she wouldn't have fallen on deaf ears. Now the long house still respects me. If my sister-in-law really wants to think more about her mother's family, she really can't offend me. ”

Niu was relieved: "In this case, you can go with me." Let's go to the front yard and talk to your nephews in Kurong Hall. ”

Qin Bai sighed and agreed with a wry smile.

Qin Hanzhen sent his grandparents out speechlessly, and he couldn't understand why his grandmother would still eat his grandfather's vinegar at this age? And I don't know if it's because she has been hit by her relatives one after another, and her health is not very good, she looks quite old now, her temples are dyed white, silver wisps, and the wrinkles on her face are also very obvious. In contrast, although Niu's age is older than Xu's, it is probably because of his happy life, ruddy complexion, dark hair, and not even many wrinkles, he looks several years younger than Xu's, and his appearance is more compatible with Qin Bai's. Xu's is no longer a threatening rival in love for Niu's, what kind of flying vinegar does her old man eat?

Qin Hanzhen sighed, and was about to go back to his yard to paint, but suddenly heard a report from his subordinates: "The king of Suning County is here." ”

Her eyes lit up suddenly, and she subconsciously glanced at the position of her grandfather and grandmother, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bend.

Qin Bai and Niu's went to Dongfu, and they couldn't come back for a while, Qin An returned to Changping Daying, Xiao Feng was a female dependant and wanted to take the child, Qin Hanzhu went to school in Dongfu and hasn't come back yet. In this family, apart from her, who else can come forward to entertain Zhao Mo?

Qin Hanzhen happily came to the second gate to welcome Zhao Mo's arrival. When Zhao Mo saw her, he was very surprised: "How could my grandfather let you come to welcome me?"

Qin Hanzhen chuckled and said, "Grandfather and grandmother have just gone to Dongfu, and no one else in the family can greet you anymore, isn't it just me who came forward?" She tilted her head to look at Zhao Mo, "Do you have any fresh excuse to come to the door today?" Come on, I'll listen, my grandfather will come back in a while, and I'll give an answer to his old man." ”

Zhao Mo smiled: "What excuse? I came here today because I had something serious." I have good news for you. ”
