Chapter 291: Haste

Xu Zheng's marriage with Miss Lu finally fulfilled Mrs. Xu's wishes. This matter has been delayed for a long time, and the quarrel has been for a long time, even if the Xu family is not annoyed, the spectators are also annoyed, not to mention relatives like the Qin family who are entangled by the Xu family.

The Xu family finally decided to choose Miss Lu as their eldest granddaughter-in-law, and Qin Jinhua finally got out. Yao's heart was so happy, if it weren't for his daughter's reputation, he really wanted to spread it everywhere. She now often goes to the third room to visit her concubine Xiao Feng, and today she happened to meet Niu, so she quickly told her uncle and mother-in-law the news.

When the mother-in-law Xu insisted on going her own way, her uncle and mother-in-law Niu helped to speak fairly. In this matter, the Yao family regarded the Niu family as their own person, and the smile on his face had no intention of concealing it at all, and he didn't seem to care about the mood of his mother-in-law Xu at all.

Xu's mood now is naturally very complicated. She felt that her kindness had been completely ruined by her close family. But perhaps because she had been mentally prepared for a long time, she didn't show much anger now. She just had a feeling of "finally the dust had settled", and her heart was already numb.

This time, she lost to her sister-in-law and daughter-in-law. For her nephew Xu Zheng, who has always been valued, she is really sorry, but it doesn't matter, although Miss Lu's family background is poor, her character is estimated to be passable. Since Mrs. Xu insisted that the eldest grandson should marry her niece's niece and granddaughter, let her go. Whether the young couple will live well or badly in the future, and whether Xu Zheng's future will be smooth or not, will depend on their creation. When his aunt and grandmother were alive, they would still help him if they could. But when she's not in this world...... It's really up to them juniors themselves.

Xu Shi looked at the second lady Xu in front of him, and his expression was faint: "This is a happy event." The eldest sister-in-law can be regarded as getting what she wants, and her condition may be able to improve a little, right?"

Second Mrs. Xu laughed dryly: "Yes, since someone came from the Lu family and agreed to the family affair, the sister-in-law is in good spirits, and she ate an extra bowl of porridge yesterday." Not to mention anything else, just the eldest man, the mood is much better. ”

Master Xu had a stroke in bed, no matter how good his spirit was, what was the use? As for Mrs. Xu...... Others often think that she is seriously ill and can't support it, but in fact, her condition has never been serious enough to be critical. Xu didn't bother to ask Mrs. Xu what kind of illness it was, but he was a little interested in the information revealed in Mrs. Xu's words: "The Lu family is here? They only agreed to the family affair at this time? I thought this family affair had been said a long time ago?"

Second Mrs. Xu was a little embarrassed, so she could only smile awkwardly.

When Mrs. Xu proposed to the Lu family to kiss and marry, the Lu family was willing to marry this family, otherwise they would not have sent Miss Lu to the capital alone. But then the Xu family had an accident, Master Xu resigned, his reputation was discredited, and there was an accident on the Lu family's side. Miss Lu's mother objected to marrying her daughter into the Xu family, for fear that her daughter would be affected by the notoriety of the Xu family, and if Xu Zheng was implicated by her grandfather in the future, wouldn't her career be a delay in Miss Lu's life? Master Lu was repeatedly told by his wife, and he was also a little hesitant. After all, the two families have not officially decided on a family affair, but the elders of the two sides have a tacit understanding, and it is too late to regret it. It's just that Miss Lu is already in the Xu family, and they have to go to Beijing in person to pick up their daughter.

However, Mrs. Xu strongly opposed them in doing so, and she personally wrote a letter to her mother's brother and sister-in-law begging her brother and sister-in-law to beg her brother and sister-in-law, saying that the Lu family had always been honest and keeping her promises, and that when the Xu family was in difficulty, she kept her promise and got married, so why couldn't Miss Lu abide by the ancestral teachings? The spirit of the Lu family is something that must never be discarded! Once the ancestral teachings are violated, then the Lu family will no longer be the Lu family.

At this time, Mrs. Xu finally worried less about her mother's family and thought more about her children and grandchildren. She has always felt that the Xu family has gone the wrong way, the door style has been distorted, and if she doesn't change it earlier, she is not worthy of being a member of Qingliu again. Xu Zheng is the greatest hope of the Xu family, and his wife must be a good daughter with a good character, reliability and education, so as to ensure that the Xu family can be re-integrated back to the right path in the future, and will not go further and further. Except for the girls in her mother's family, Mrs. Xu doesn't believe anyone now. Because of his grandfather's disrepute, it is difficult for Xu Zheng to talk about the daughters of other Qingliu families as his wife, and Miss Lu is his only choice. This family business, no matter what, she has to say it!

It is probably because her hard work has worked, or maybe Master Xu has not been clearly charged, even if he has maintained a decent and smooth resignation, it may be that the Lu family's situation has been quite difficult. In short, for various reasons, Master Lu finally accepted his sister's request, agreed to the marriage, and officially gave his daughter and Xu Zheng's marriage.

At this point, the rest of the Xu family has nothing to object to. Master Lu's official position is indeed not high, but the current situation of the Xu family is not comparable to the past, the two sides are right, and no one should dislike anyone. Xu Zheng was indeed famous in the past, and attracted the admiration of many noblewomen, but the noblewomen were just delicate girls in the powerful family, and few people could decide their own marriage. They may have said a lot of praise to Xu Zheng, but when it comes to marrying him, it's another matter. Xu Zheng's fame has been spread in the capital for several years, and no serious noblewoman has persuaded her parents to come to her door to propose marriage, even the two nobles of the clan who fell for him in the legend.

The Xu family was deeply unwilling to do this, but Mrs. Xu poured cold water on them and completely extinguished their extravagant hopes: "The clan and the royal family all know what our family did to the Qin family back then. Who would want a treacherous in-laws? The most important thing is that if it weren't for the eldest aunt's wife marrying into the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion, the emperor would have been disgusted with the Xu family a long time ago, and who else would have married a noble daughter to the Xu family? People who know the inside story would not want to marry our family!"

Uncle Xu and Grandma Xu faced the cold court, but finally recognized the reality and accepted Mrs. Xu's favored candidate.

All these facts, Mrs. Xu couldn't tell Xu directly. In fact, the fact that the Lu family had hesitated about family affairs also somewhat slapped Mrs. Xu in the face. But now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, there is no need to mention these things again.

Mrs. Xu told Xu that the day of the small ceremony was very urgent, it was in early July, and it was about ten days away. Mrs. Xu thinks that she is not in good health, and Master Xu has had a stroke again, in case the old couple has a good one, it will delay the marriage of her grandson. Xu Zheng is really not young now, and it is not good to drag it out any longer. Therefore, Mrs. Xu hopes that she will be able to do her family affairs within this year, and she will save more dreams at night.

Xu Shi frowned and said, "This is too urgent! Ten days of hard work, what is enough? I'm afraid that it won't even be enough to make a decent coat for Miss Lu, right?"

Second Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "The clothes are already being made, and among the girls who came with the Lu family, there are several who are good at female celebrities, and they are working day and night." As for the dowry of her nephew and daughter-in-law, the Lu family began to prepare it as early as when she was born, and now she only needs to hire a boat to send it to the capital, and it doesn't take much trouble. Our family has not gone well this year, but I hope that the joy of Brother Zheng'er's marriage can rush to the family, maybe the eldest lord and sister-in-law will be happy and will get better soon?"

Xu smiled, noncommittal, and only asked, "Is the wedding date set?"

Second Mrs. Xu hurriedly said: "I still have to discuss it with the Lu family again, it is estimated that at the end of the year, before the snow, the happy event will be held, and the newcomer will be able to blow less cold wind." ”

Xu Shi frowned when he heard this: "It's still a few months? It's too rushed! The new house hasn't been cleaned up yet, so we have to rebuild the yard for Brother Zheng'er, right?"

Second Mrs. Xu smiled awkwardly and said: "There are two sick people in the family, where can the ground be moved? The eldest sister-in-law means that let people repaint Brother Zheng'er's yard, replace the roof with new tiles, and prune the flowers and trees in the yard, so that it will look the same as the new yard, which will save trouble and time." There are good furniture on the Lu family's side, and they have long been prepared to be a dowry for Miss Lu, so just send it directly, and there is no need to make a new one. Although the wedding sounds like a bit hasty, firstly, it is to add some joy to the family, and secondly, next spring, Brother Zheng'er is going to end! If he gets married too late, he will not be able to calm down and review his homework, and it will not be good if he delays the scientific examination. ”

Since we know that he is going to take a scientific examination next spring, we shouldn't let him marry within this year! It's just that if we wait a few more months, can't we let him hold another wedding after the spring is over?

Xu was angry with his sister-in-law, and in order to promote the family affairs between his niece and grandnephew and grandson, he didn't even care about the overall situation. But so what? She and her sister-in-law have quarreled countless times over Xu Zheng's family affairs, and now that she has lost, there is no need to mention anything about postponing the wedding, lest the sister-in-law misunderstand and think that she still wants to stuff her granddaughter into Xu's house.

Xu sighed, and only asked Second Mrs. Xu: "Sister Xiu'er's family affairs, but there is a settlement?" If you are worried that the eldest brother and sister-in-law have a good relationship, it will delay the children's marriage, then Brother Zheng'er's marriage is decided, you should consider Sister Xiu'er, right? Sister Lan and Brother Rong are just down, they are still young, and they are not in a hurry at this time. But Sister Xiu'er is already sixteen years old and can't be delayed any longer. If you don't have an opinion, then I'll look at people for her, how about it? I have been Mrs. Chengenhou for decades, and I always have more people than you on weekdays, and I am somewhat decent, and I am a matchmaker with a cheeky face, and I guess others will not give me a look. Anyway, it's not easy for you to go out and socialize now, so I'll worry about it for you. ”

Second Mrs. Xu was taken aback, and her heart was a little nervous: "If Mrs. Gu is willing to help the children, the family affairs of Sister Xiu'er, Sister Lan and Brother Rong can be decided one day earlier, it is better than not knowing how long it will be delayed." ”

Xu Shi waved his hand: "Where can I be the master of so many children? That is, Sister Xiu'er has been raised by me since she was a child, and I know everything about her temperament, and I can't bear to let her suffer from her grandfather's burden and delay the flowering period, so I just want to help her." I don't dare to guarantee the big family, but there are also many suitable young children in the families of the middle officials and eunuchs in Beijing, who can match Sister Xiu'er. Sister Lan has her parents in charge, Brother Rong'er's marriage, naturally your second room takes the idea, the two children are young, and it is not my turn to worry. ”

Second Mrs. Xu calmed down a little and stopped talking, but in the end she could only say dryly: "I'll go back and ask what my sister-in-law means." Sister Xiu'er is the eldest granddaughter of her sister-in-law, and she has to call the shots in this matter. "It sounds like the Xu family doesn't seem to want to tell Xu Xiu to Qin Jian, so whose family will it be?

Second Mrs. Xu left with doubts in her heart. As soon as she left on the front foot, Qin Youzhen came to look for Xu's on the back foot: "Uncle, our lord has a letter here......
