Chapter 199: Arriving Home
Magnolia quickly picked up the pieces of the cup and gave the other girls a look. Everyone retreated silently in tacit agreement, and then Magnolia closed the door again.
Only then did Qin Zhonghai say to his wife: "What are you shouting, what does it mean for people outside the courtyard to hear it and reach my mother's ears?"
Yao's face was flushed with anger, and she couldn't see Qin Zhonghai's calm and waveless appearance: "Second Master won't say something? Madame, isn't she confused when she does such a thing?" He can't even say that he is completely sure that he will be able to obtain the blue eyes of the Marquis of Yunyang, and his wife is so anxious to plan for Xu Zheng! Isn't Brother Jian Madame's own grandson? Why does Madame regard her nephew and grandson as more important than her own grandson? No matter how good Xu Zheng is, he can't resist that he has a confused grandmother, and I am reluctant to let my biological daughter suffer the white eyes of others. But...... Brother Jian'er's family affairs are different! That is the daughter of the Marquis of Yunyang! If Madame's own grandson can marry such a daughter-in-law and come back, the whole family will be decent. But no matter how good her nephew's family affairs are, what does it have to do with her?! Could it be that she has grandchildren, and her son is in charge, so she still expects her nephew to provide for her in old age?!"
The Yao family was so angry that they couldn't choose to speak, Qin Zhonghai heard it harshly, and couldn't help but say: "I want to know that my mother won't be so confused, why are you annoyed like this? Did the Cai family say that they were going to marry Brother Jian? Mrs. Yunyang Hou agreed to go with our family, did she want to discuss marriage with us? Not to mention whether there is a single word in the eight characters, there is not even a shadow, just because Cai Shizi and Brother Jian asked a few more words when they met, you hurriedly worried about it, never thought that if it was just a misunderstanding, how embarrassing it would be for relatives and friends to get along in the end? In previous years, when our family went out for a spring or autumn outing, it was not that they had not invited their relatives to accompany them, and the Xu family was invited almost every year, but this year it was just a convention, what can it prove?
"How can this be the same?!" Yao's eyes were red with anxiety, "The eldest sister's family is now living in our house, and there is no reason why no one from our family goes out to play, but they leave their family of five at home." But the Xu family is different! Madame treats the Xu family very seriously, you also know it in your heart, what's the point of just talking about me here now? The reason why I'm angry is not that I am worried that Xu Zheng will rob Brother Jian of his good relatives, but that it is about Brother Jian'er's marriage, Madame knows how rare and good the daughter of the Marquis of Yunyang Mansion is, but she still ignores our Brother Jian, and only cares about planning for Xu Zheng, I feel wronged for our son!"
As he spoke, Yao's tears were about to fall. She is obviously thinking about her son and the Qin family everywhere, and it is obviously her mother-in-law Xu who is bent on personal gain regardless of the overall situation, why is Qin Zhonghai only standing on his wife's side, regardless of right and wrong, he only knows how to reprimand her?
In fact, about these things, Qin Zhonghai couldn't see his mother's intentions clearly.
Mrs. Yunyang Hou has a big Zhuangzi to marry, which is in Changping. Traveling this spring, the Yunyang Hou Mansion chose the place of Changping, although the date has not been determined, but it is not far from the date set by the Qin family. The Xu family didn't know where to hear about it, so he took the initiative to contact Mrs. Yunyang Hou and invited the Cai family to go to Changping for spring, and Mrs. Yunyang Hou agreed. It looks like just a coincidence. If it weren't for Cai Shizi's previous special conversation with Qin Jian, the Xu family invited Xu Zheng's brothers and sisters to go to the spring together, which would never have caused such a fierce resentment from the Yao family.
Although Qin Zhonghai had doubts about whether the Yunyang Hou Mansion really took a fancy to his son, at a time when everyone in the family was looking forward to this, unless the Cai family had clearly said that they would not choose Qin Jian as their son-in-law, it would be inappropriate for his mother Xu to let any outstanding teenager of the same age other than Qin Jian appear in front of Mrs. Yunyang Hou and other Cai family members. Qin Zhonghai felt that his mother's love for her grandchildren was sincere, and it was impossible for her to make such a simple mistake, there must be something he didn't know about here.
Before he could figure out what was going on, he had to calm his wife, Yao, and not let her show resentment and anger in front of people. The daughter of the Marquis of Yunyang Mansion is indeed very good, but this good girl is not the only one in the capital. If she misses her, Qin Jian will still have the opportunity to marry a girl who is also gentle and virtuous but has a slightly worse family background, and she may not have a bad life in the future. However, if his wife Yao and mother Xu turned their faces for Qin Jian's marriage, there would be no peace in this family. It is not so easy to get their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law back together. No matter how good the daughter-in-law is, it can't be at the cost of an uneasy house.
Qin Zhonghai could only use another method to appease his wife: "You don't have to worry too much, when Cai Shizi invited him to drink before, Brother Zheng and Chu Ming both went with Brother Jian. At that time, it was Brother Jian and the King of Suning County who could get Cai Shizi to look at him differently, and Cai Shizi didn't look at Brother Zheng a few more times. I think that if Brother Zheng was in line with the Cai family's wishes, he would not be treated so coldly. Moreover, the Marquis of Yunyang Mansion is a family of military generals, and the children of his family are married, and most of them are generals or military attachΓ©s. Our ancestors were originally military generals, but they were the founding nobles. Although the people of our long room have not interfered in military affairs since their father, the fourth and fifth brothers in the third room are all military generals, so they can be regarded as half generals. Compared with Brother Jian'er and Brother Zheng'er, the family background is more suitable. Brother Zheng is a scholarly family at home, and he has a reputation for himself, so he is a talent. However, there is no second one in the capital who is such a talent, isn't Yu Gongzi of Shoushan Bofu more suitable than Brother Zheng? If Cai Shizi has the heart to choose a scholar for his sister to be her husband, it is better to choose Brother Zheng than to choose Yu Gongzi. β
Yao Shi was immediately appeased: "The second master is right. Brother Zheng'er's family background can't be compared with Yu Gongzi. The Marquis of Yunyang is in a daze, so he will marry his eldest daughter to a family like the Xu family! What if Master Xu is a third grade? Xu Zheng's father is just a sesame mung bean official. The Marquis of Yunyang Mansion can't afford to lose this face! The benefits of our Brother Jian can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. I really shouldn't underestimate my son, with his outstandingness, who is worthy of it?"
Qin Zhonghai frowned and listened to his wife's belittling of his uncle's family, and wanted to say a few words about her, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed again.
Why bother? Yao's temperament is like this, as long as he is appeased. If you are more serious with her, I am afraid that she will have to argue with you, and when the time comes, the quarrel will be endless.
Qin Zhonghai watched the Yao family excitedly think about how to dress up and behave for his son on the day of the spring outing, so as to overwhelm the boys of the Xu family and the Lu family, and won the recognition of the Cai family in one fell swoop, he closed his mouth smartly.
However, Yao's not complaining about her mother-in-law in front of her husband does not mean that she really shut up. She doesn't say it in front of her husband, but she says it in front of her son. The daughter is a coquettish guest, and she was wronged when she was discussing her marriage, Yao didn't want her to be annoyed, so she didn't mention it in front of Qin Jinhua, but Qin Jian is different, he is a son or the eldest son, and he needs to share more things for his mother.
So Qin Jian had to flee in the wilderness. He had to ask Qin Bai for homework under the pretext to escape from his mother's complaints and pressure and take a breath.
When he arrived in Xifu, Qin Bai accidentally entered the palace, but Zhao Mo came to the door again to talk to Qin Hanzhen. Qin Jian couldn't help but blush when he saw their relaxed appearance, and said to Zhao Mo angrily: "Are you so idle? You're not a woman!"
Zhao Mo was in a good mood, and he didn't care about the offensive meaning in his words, and only smiled: "You are not me, how can you know the benefits of such a leisurely day?" I know that you are in a bad mood now, and you don't talk to people in your mouth, so I don't care about you." There was an aura of "a single dog can't understand it" in his words, which made Qin Jian quickly notice it, and his mood was even worse.
Qin Han is really Qin Jian's sister, she is kind-hearted, she can't bear to hit him again, and her tone of voice is much softer: "Brother Lobby is here to find my grandfather, right? Next time, before Brother Lobby comes over, send someone to ask, if your grandfather is not at home, you will save a trip in vain. β
Qin Jian smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter if the third uncle is not there, as long as I am allowed to take a breath." My mother is in a bad mood these days, and I can't stand it anymore because she whispers in my ear every day. Speaking of which, Guanglu is to blame for this, if it weren't for your mouthy words and revealing Cai Shizi's matter to the third uncle and grandmother, how could I suffer this?"
Zhao Mo looked innocent: "How does this have anything to do with me? Are you suffering because Cai Shizi looks at you a little differently and plans to give you a chance to compete to be his brother-in-law? You can't put the blame on Lady Chengenhou on me. β
Qin Jian was stunned for a moment, and smiled even more bitterly: "Have you even heard of it?
Qin Hanzhen said: "Brother Lobby, don't worry, how can this kind of thing get out? I told Cousin Zhao that Cousin Zhao won't leak it to the outside world, and he will help us inquire about the news!"
"Really?" Qin Jian looked at Zhao Mo speechlessly, "You are really getting more and more idle." β
"Well said, well said. Zhao Mo smiled, "You are my friend for many years, and it is a matter of your life, how can I not help?" I was discussing this matter with my third cousin just now, and I always felt that Mrs. Chengenhou's behavior was too strange. It wasn't like the foolishness she would make. However, a piece of news I heard from the Xu family is somewhat interesting, and I don't know if it has anything to do with it. β
Qin Jian raised his spirit slightly: "What news? Does it mean that the Xu family wants to go to Changping Zhuangzi with our family to meet the people of the Yunyang Hou Mansion?"
Zhao Mo shook his head, and the smile on his face deepened: "What I inquired about is that Mrs. Xu was sick a few days ago, and she seems to be quite sick, and she hasn't gotten out of bed yet." During her illness, she forced the eldest father and son to make concessions, and promised to let her take her niece and granddaughter to the capital to live for a year. If that girl's appearance and upbringing are not bad, it is estimated that she is the granddaughter-in-law of the Xu family. After all, the Xu family still did not resist Mrs. Xu, and gave in to Xu Zheng's marriage. β
Qin Jian couldn't help but be stunned: "Then what does my grandmother mean by saying that?!"
Zhao Mo and Qin Hanzhen couldn't say for sure about this, Qin Hanzhen guessed: "Maybe it's because the eldest uncle and grandmother oppose Xu Zheng's marriage arrangement and want to make a final effort?
Qin Jian couldn't help but think deeply when he heard this.
At this time, a mother-in-law from the main courtyard came to report urgently, asking Qin Hanzhen to hurry to the front yard.
Qin An took his wife, concubine and daughter, and finally arrived at his new home after several days of traveling.
