When Mrs. Cai San came back to tell the situation, Mrs. Yunyang Hou and the other concubines were speechless.

After a while, Mrs. Yunyang Hou said: "I usually look at Mrs. Chengenhou, and I don't think she is such a confused person? I have also seen Mrs. Xu, but I have never had any contact, I didn't expect her to have such a temperament." "It's so stubborn, and it's ...... It seems that some people look down on military generals.

Isn't the scholarly family great?

Mrs. Yunyang Hou thought with some resentment in her heart. She was born in Jiangmen, married into Jiangmen, and had close relatives and friends, except for the Yu family of Shoushan Bofu, there was almost no scholarly family. Her father and ancestors have made great contributions to the country and the imperial court, and even her grandfather was martyred at the border. She is not used to the current trend of some literati looking down on military generals. Not to mention that the people who look down on the generals this time are still the Xu family who have had a big stain on their morality.

Mrs. Yunyang Hou sneered: "The people in the second room of the Xu family are very enthusiastic about the marriage of Seventeen, if it weren't for the fact that we are not talking about the daughter of the second room of his family, I am afraid that they will be able to marry the girl out immediately." Besides, the old lady of the Qin and Xu families is entangled in marriage, and even the girls in the third room of the Qin family, and the children who have not yet reached the end of the family, know that they can't talk about it at will. Mrs. Xu and Grandma Xu are very honest, knowing that we are interested in discussing marriage with his family, they are willing to tell each other calmly, and even save the effort of grooming. Do they have a grudge against the Xu family, or are they really so eager to convince our Cai family?"

Second Lady Xu and Second Grandma Xu were bent on currying favor with the Marquis of Yunyang, and they didn't even care about the reputation of the long house. But they never expected that doing so would make them incur the disgust of Mrs. Yunyang Hou. This is probably something they didn't expect, right?

Mrs. Cai San said softly: "Although Second Lady Xu and Second Grandma Xu hesitated, I didn't force them to ask, they just said everything, even what I didn't expect, they did it right." If they hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten - sister-in-law still remembered that Yuanzhen mentioned it to us in the past? She also heard from other girls, saying that Qin Er's grandmother originally took a fancy to Qin Er's daughter, and she was the grandson of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Industry. ”

Cai Yuanzhen said on the side: "There is such a thing, Pei Yin told me, that it was her mother who met Qin Er's grandmother and quarreled with the young grandmother of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Industry, and only then did she know the inside story. At that time, Qin's second sister didn't go out to see us for two or three months, and I heard that she went to serve her mother. At that time, Qin San's sister seemed to go to Guangzhou with her grandparents to see her father, and the family was not in Beijing, leaving only the housekeeper to take care of the house. Second Grandma Qin even took over the courtesy of the third room, but as soon as she fell ill, things went haywire, and Grandma Qin San had to reach out to help before it was straightened out. ”

Mrs. Cai San was confirmed by her niece, nodded, and continued: "That time, Second Grandma Qin originally talked to people well, but then somehow, the wife of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Industry suddenly stopped mentioning this marriage, and within a few days, she also ordered another daughter for her grandson. Qin Er's grandmother was angry at the time, and when she went out to a banquet, she bumped into the young grandmother of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Industry, and quarreled with someone in private. At that time, the eldest grandmother of the Pei family was beside her, and she heard the female relatives of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Industry say that the second grandmother of Qin was not kind, and the daughter obviously had a marriage contract, no matter how dissatisfied she was, she had to keep the contract, how could she coax outsiders who did not know? Besides, it was a marriage of kissing and kissing, and there was nothing bad about the man, so he persuaded the second grandmother of Qin not to be too snobbish-I heard that the second grandmother of Qin was angry and sick afterwards, although she made it clear to the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Labor, saying that there was no marriage contract on the second girl of Qin, but in the end she lost the marriage, and she did not dare to speak out. ”

Mrs. Yunyang Hou sighed: "Presumably someone passed the wrong word, and when such a mistake happened, not only did she miss a good marriage, but also brought the girl's reputation tired, no wonder Second Grandma Qin was so angry that she got sick." She paused and looked at Mrs. Cai San, "Why did you suddenly mention this matter......?"

Mrs. Cai San pursed her lips: "Just now Grandma Xu told me, I just learned that it was Grandma Xu who privately talked to the niece and daughter-in-law of the Ministry of Works, and it was the family who misunderstood." It is said that this is not the first time that the Xu family has done this. Although Mrs. Chengenhou has been looking forward to marrying her granddaughter back to her parents' family, Mrs. Xu refused to let go, and Second Grandma Qin and Second Grandma Qin were unhappy, so Second Grandma Qin found another family for her daughter. Although Mrs. Chengenhou felt uncomfortable, she didn't stop her. It's just that I didn't expect that the Xu family would act like this, when the mother-in-law dislikes other girls, she refuses to let go of her mouth to ask for her grandson's marriage, and the daughter-in-law is afraid that her son will lose this marriage, so she secretly spreads the word that the marriage of the girl from a bad family is bad. The second girl Qin has dragged on until now, and no one has ever come to the door to propose marriage, and it has something to do with the Xu family. ”

Only then did Mrs. Yunyang Marquis understand and frowned: "This is no longer a marriage, but a feud." At this point, even if he really reluctantly married the second girl Qin into the Xu family, the result was just to take someone else's daughter as a hostage and threaten the Qin family to contribute to the Xu family. No matter how confused Mrs. Chengenhou is, no matter how biased she is to her mother's family, she shouldn't do this. Then her own granddaughter, why is there no love at all?"

Mrs. Cai San said: "Not only that, but perhaps in the marriage of the second girl Qin, the two families have a deep grudge, and even the second master Qin is not willing to marry his daughter back to his uncle's house, so the Xu family changed the idea of the grandson of the Qin family and wanted to give the eldest girl Xu to Qin Jian." Second Grandma Qin became more and more angry. Didn't Miss Xu flatter her a little two days ago? She ignored it at the time. We still wonder in our hearts, how can she be so hard-hearted? There is nothing wrong with Miss Xu. Now that I think about it, it's me, not to mention that it's just colder, and I can't bear to even invite the Xu family to travel together for a spring tour. Second Grandma Qin is already good-tempered!"

Mrs. Cai, who had been quietly listening, spoke at this time: "I'm afraid she also has to be good-tempered." Mrs. Chengenhou is biased towards the Xu family, how can a daughter-in-law embarrass the Xu family in front of her mother-in-law? No wonder I always feel that there seems to be something wrong between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law these days, and it turns out that the root is here. ”

She turned to Mrs. Yunyang Hou: "Sister-in-law, the Xu family's family style is not good, and you can't give the daughter of his family to Seventeen." Although that big girl Xu couldn't see anything wrong, but because of her family's behavior, we couldn't choose such a daughter-in-law for Seventeen. I am afraid that in the future, when I marry a wife and give birth to a child, I will be subject to the control of the Xu family. The Chengenhou Mansion married a daughter of the Xu family, but now it has been decades, and he can't get rid of it, and even the marriage of his grandchildren and granddaughters is subject to control. It is not good for us to ask our daughter-in-law to cut off the relationship with her mother's family, and we can't see whether the daughter-in-law really understands in her heart that she will not harm her husband and children because of her mother's family. There are many good girls in the world, so it's better to forget about this marriage, right?"

Mrs. Yunyang Hou groaned and nodded slowly.

Mrs. Cai San asked, "Then do I want to go and talk to the two people in the second room of the Xu family?"

Mrs. Yunyang Hou said: "This is not necessary. The family matter has not yet been decided, so there is no need to tear your face here. In the future, just find a reason to push it. She paused and smiled sarcastically, "Maybe Mrs. Xu heard that we were generals, and she looked down on us seventeen as martial artists, and she didn't want to marry her daughter!"

Mrs. Cai San smiled: "If Mrs. Xu is really so shameless, then I have to sympathize with the Xu family." Do you really think that his family is a big family? If it weren't for the fact that Miss Xu has a kind temperament and good upbringing, I wouldn't have opened this mouth to the people of his family. What is the reputation of the Xu family here in our military generals' family, don't they know?"

Mrs. Yunyang Hou and Mrs. Cai Er invariably showed a mocking smile, and the three of them tacitly did not say any more.

After Mrs. Cai Er and Mrs. Cai San left, Mrs. Yunyang Hou called her eldest son again.

When Cai Shizi arrived, he was sweating. Seeing this, Cai Yuanzhen handed him a sweat towel in surprise and asked, "What is the eldest brother doing?"

Cai Shizi smiled and stopped the sweat towel to wipe his sweat, and said: "Brother Jue and Brother Jian of the Qin family, Brother Liang of the Lu family, and the second son of the Xu family pulled someone to play polo in the school field." I saw that it was funny, so I went off the field and played for a while. ”

Mrs. Yunyang Hou raised her eyebrows: "Why did you call the second son of the Xu family?"

Cai Shizi said with a smile: "He has a kind temperament and is also interesting in speaking, and he has become familiar with us in the past few days, and often plays in one place." ”

Mrs. Yunyang Hou was noncommittal, and pointed to the first chair on the left: "You sit, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Cai Shizi hurriedly sat down, and Cai Yuanzhen sat opposite him.

Mrs. Yunyang Hou concisely explained to Cai Shizi what Mrs. Cai San had heard before, and then said: "It was estimated that you gave Seventeen a mouthful before, but now that the matter is not done, you can also tell him in private, so that he doesn't spend any time with the girl of the Xu family, so as not to be embarrassed in the future." ”

Cai Shizi responded solemnly, and sighed again: "Actually, I have long felt that the girl of the Xu family is not very suitable. It's not that she herself is bad, but the Xu family...... No matter who becomes his son-in-law, I am afraid that he will have to contribute to his family in the future. The responsibility to be borne after 17 days is not light, so why bother him again?"

Mrs. Yunyang Hou nodded, and then she hesitated for a moment before she said, "Besides, even the marriage of the Qin family that I helped your sister see before, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

Cai Yuanzhen's eyes widened suddenly, but she quickly calmed down again, and listened quietly to the conversation between her mother and brother.

Cai Shizi looked at his mother puzzled: "Why? Is it because of the Xu family? But although the Qin and Xu families are in-laws, they can't be mixed up, how can my mother suddenly ......?"

Mrs. Yunyang Hou sighed: "Mrs. Chengenhou is biased towards her mother's family, and Grandma Qin is biased towards her children, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not in harmony, no matter which family the girl marries Qin Jian in the future, she will be caught between the two layers of mother-in-law." Why bother? When did we encounter such a thing? I don't have to worry anyone. There are many young talents in Beijing, and Qin Jian is not the only one. Let's pick another good one for Yuanzhen, that's it. ”

Cai Shizi sighed: "But, mother...... Although there are many young talents, there are not many who are worthy of Yuanzhen, and even fewer who have not yet been married. Qin Jian...... Although his temper is a little softer, his martial arts are only mediocre, and he will be a person who must take the path of civil officials in the imperial examination in the future, and the amount of alcohol is still poor, but he has a good character, and the room is also clean so far, and it is rare to understand people. I also watched it for a long time before I decided on such a choice. If he is vetoed because of the quarrel between Mrs. Chengenhou's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, then where can we find a better place?"

Mrs. Yunyang Hou sighed slightly: "Didn't you say that the king of Suning County is very good?"
