Chapter 578: Hearing the News

Qin Youzhen was very worried about letting the Xu family know that she was discussing marriage with the Sun family, not only because she was afraid that the Xu family would do something before the family agreement was agreed, but also because she didn't want to face the anger and resentment of the Xu family.

After all, she was raised by the Xu family, no matter how much she looked down on the Xu family in her heart, and how much she resisted marrying the Xu family, she still didn't want the Xu family to be sad.

However, how is this possible? The Xu family wants to support the Xu family, hoping to arrange satisfactory family affairs for the four nephews and grandchildren of the Xu family, and the Qin family has a suitable partner, so let the children of the Qin family give priority to marrying the Xu family, and if the Qin family has no suitable person, then choose among the Qin family's in-laws. Because the Lu family was raised by the Xu family because Qin Youzhen, the head of the house, and Lu Pu was a high-ranking official of the third grade, he was naturally the first choice. Because Xu felt that she could handle Qin Youzhen, she was most sure that she could settle this family business.

As long as the Xu family can't let go of their obsession, Qin Youzhen will choose any girl who is not surnamed Xu as her daughter-in-law for her son, which will cause Xu's dissatisfaction. This is simply an irreconcilable contradiction.

When Qin Youzhen first arrived in the capital this time, after hearing the news that the Xu family was treated coldly by the younger generations of the Xu family because of the Xu family's separation, and she vomited blood and fell ill, she once ignited hope, thinking that the Xu family might be able to let her son go this time. Unexpectedly, the Xu family was so loyal to the Xu family, no matter how the Xu family's room treated her, she was still dedicated to planning the Lu family's family affairs for Xu Xiu.

Qin Youzhen was disappointed and desperate. At this point, she has no way to deal with it except to hide the truth and try to agree on the Sun family's relatives before the Xu family hears the rumors. Maybe it won't be long before the Xu family will be annoyed with her, right? She really didn't want to face that kind of scene, but there was no way, Lu Pu was unwilling to accept the daughter of the Xu family as her eldest daughter-in-law, and she couldn't bear the drag of her cherished eldest son by the Xu family.

Now that the Xu family's house is still in the filial piety period, even if the Xu family intends to match Xu Xiu and Lu Chuming, it is impossible to say it clearly at this time. Qin Youzhen is now in a hurry with this time difference. After a delay of more than half a year, she finally realized how wrong her past thoughts were. She should take advantage of the Xu family's filial piety to finalize the marriage of her eldest son. In that way, Uncle Xu had nothing to say. Every time she found an excuse to leave her eldest son in Changlu and went to Beijing alone, she only had the effect of covering her ears and stealing the bell, which not only failed to solve the plight of her eldest son, but made Xu more and more vigilant.

Xu obviously knew her thoughts, and knew that she was unwilling to agree to the Xu family's family affairs, but she couldn't open her mouth to refuse her, so she would try to talk in front of her again and again, forcing her to retreat step by step, hoping that she would finally not be able to bear it and had to agree to the family affairs......

The sick Xu family can still bring great pressure to Qin Youzhen. She could only face the Niu family with a wry smile, and the joy that was full of joy disappeared almost instantly: "Third aunt, I'm ...... I don't really know what to do. Uncle Niang was so stubborn, although she never said her thoughts clearly, but she knew that I understood what she meant. I'm afraid that when she learns the news of our family's marriage to the Sun family, she will hate me...... I wonder if I will be able to dissipate her anger after I have been in Changlu for two years? Or will I find a way to tell Miss Xu that she will be married, and when she has settled for life, my aunt will be less resentful towards me?"

Niu Shi snorted: "Whose son do you want to tell Xu Xiu to? What is the reputation of the Xu family now? Decent officials and eunuchs can't agree, right? Why bother to put your own face on her for her? The Xu family doesn't look down on the object whose family background is slightly worse. Even if Xu Xiu is really lucky and says that it is a family matter, in the future, she will be a virtuous person of the Xu family like her aunt and grandmother, and when her in-laws complain, won't that family hate you? And if that family refuses to help the Xu family, it should be the turn of the Xu family to hate you. But don't end up being a sinner because you don't like both sides. ”

Qin Youzhen said a little curtly: "I'll look at ...... Miss Xu seems to be an understanding person, and she should be sensible. ”

Niu pouted: "When my sister-in-law was young, no one said that she was ignorant, didn't everyone say that she was virtuous and kind?"

Qin Youzhen stopped talking.

Seeing her like this, Niu sighed, patted the back of her hand and said, "You, you are all at this age, and you are about to be a grandmother, and your face is still so thin." Your aunt is actually a face-loving person, even if she really forces you to do something, she doesn't want to take the reputation of forced marriage, especially to protect the face of the Xu family. Let's talk about it...... The Xu family actually has no reputation for a long time, she just refuses to admit it. However, before the Xu family is filial, she will not explicitly force you to agree to the family. Take advantage of this opportunity to quickly settle the Sun family's family affairs, and your aunt can't be angry anymore. She hasn't discussed family affairs with you, you can be cheeky and pretend to be stupid, just say that you don't know what she means, and you can't say it if she suffers!"

Qin Youzhen hesitated: "This ...... Isn't that good?" it seemed that doing so would make Xu even angrier and hate her deeper. And Xu Xiu is disliked, and it must be more difficult to come to relatives in the future.

Niu said disapprerovingly: "What are you afraid of? Your aunt loves face, and she loves the face of the Xu family even more, so naturally she won't go around shouting that Xu Xiu is disgusted by you, and she will only treat it as if it is not like this, and even if she annoys you later, she will not do it too obviously." This has no bad impact on Xu Xiu's reputation, and the whole thing is only guessed by our own family, how can outsiders know? When the time comes, you will think of it, block the mouth of Zhonghai's daughter-in-law, and the matter will be over. After a long time, no matter how angry your aunt is, it can gradually disappear. Could it be that it is really for a shadowless marriage to provoke an enemy like your family for the Xu family? Isn't that too wasteful? If you really feel sorry for her, it's a big deal to help the Xu family in other things, so that people can't find faults, that is. ”

As for how to help the Xu family, Niu also gave three suggestions, one is to help Uncle Xu recover after filial piety, the second is to let Lu Pu give Xu Zheng some guidance in his studies, and the third is to get more body-tonifying herbs or other valuable gifts, and give them to the Xu family a little more, so that the public will know that she Qin Youzhen is a person who knows how to repay her kindness, so that the Xu family can't complain that she is not grateful. After all, it is not the same thing that others have a conscience to repay their kindness and those who have received their own grace to repay it according to their own thoughts. The former will become a good story, and the latter will only be spurned by the public. Xu will not fail to understand this truth, and he will not create a handle for others.

As for Xu Xiu or Xu Lan's relatives, the Niu family advised Qin Youzhen not to get his hands dirty, it would be a trouble if he got it. This kind of thing, it's better to let the Xu family or the Xu family worry about it alone. After dealing with each other for so many years, especially after the recent separation of the Xu family, the Niu family has a clear understanding of the psychology of the Xu family and his mother's family.

Qin Youzhen listened to Niu's words, and understood in her heart that the words of the third aunt made sense. If you want to solve the whole thing completely without breaking Xu's heart, it is simply impossible. Unless there is a better marriage partner than Lu Chuming at this time, and he is willing to marry Xu Xiu, so that the Xu family no longer needs Lu Chuming, otherwise the Lu family will offend the Xu family as long as they reveal their intention to refuse marriage. Qin Youzhen thought about it, but decided to be hard-hearted and not sacrifice her beloved eldest son. She is grateful for her uncle's great kindness and is willing to do her filial piety, even if it is for her aunt's pension, she has no complaints. But that's her business, and she can't bother Loop and her children.

Qin Youzhen secretly gave generous gifts to Yao's and Min's two younger brothers-in-law, said a lot of good things, explicitly and implicitly, and successfully got the prescription that Xu's is taking now from Yao's, and then according to the prescription and the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, she bought a large number of tonic herbs that were beneficial to Xu's body, plus a very heavy gift, and sent it to Xu's hands, claiming that it was a birthday gift she gave to Xu's in advance.

Xu's birthday was at the end of August, and by that time, Qin Youzhen must have drunk Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo's wedding wine and returned to Changlu, but it was not yet the auspicious day of Qin Jian's wedding, so there was no need to come to Beijing again. She said that she was going to give her birthday gift in advance, and no one could say that it was unreasonable. Xu Shi saw Qin Youzhen's deliberately flattering appearance, and only thought that he had been pulling his niece and daughter to talk about the past every day, and he had softened his heart, and felt that his approach was very effective, and it was not far from Qin Youzhen's persuasion to let go and agree to the family matter, so he accepted the gift with satisfaction. When other daughters came to visit the sick and condoled, Yao and Min "accidentally" talked about Qin Youzhen's filial piety, and she also smiled cooperatively and admitted it, praising her niece and daughter A lot of good things. The female relatives who heard about it all praised Qin Youzhen.

It's just that there are some things that will have traces when they happen, and it is impossible to really completely hide people's eyes. One day in late June, there was finally a female family member who came to visit the patient, and after listening to Qin Youzhen's filial piety, she sighed: "Mrs. Lu's character is really not said, no wonder Mrs. Sun often praises her for being good." She is such a precious daughter, and she is willing to give it to Mrs. Lu's son in less than two months, and I was so surprised when I heard about it. Now after listening to Mrs. Chengenhou's words, I know that Mrs. Sun has a good vision, and she actually chose a kind and kind family for her daughter. In other words, if I met such a good person, I had to quickly agree, otherwise after this village, I don't know if there is this shop!"

Xu Shi was eating tea with his head down, but when he heard the words, he choked and wet the front of his clothes. But she couldn't care about her embarrassment, and hurriedly looked up at the female guest: "What did you say? Who promised her daughter to Mrs. Lu's son?!"

"So Madame doesn't know?" the female guest smiled in surprise, "Yes, this family affair was only decided, and Madame is sick again, so Mrs. Lu must have not had time to tell you? It is the daughter of the Guozi Priest Jiu Sun family, and the maiden niece and granddaughter of Princess Xiuning." At the chrysanthemum banquet in the Yasukuni Mansion last year, didn't you praise her for being so gentle and gentle, and that she was steady and courteous? The Sun family has now given this daughter to Mrs. Lu's eldest son. I heard that Grand Prince Lu is already a person at a young age. This family business is really a talented woman, a match made in heaven!"

Xu Shi only felt that a mouthful of blood rushed up his throat, and it might spurt out at any time.
