Chapter 309: Funeral Retribution
Yao really didn't dare to have any more objections this time. Although now that her mother-in-law Xu has persuaded her husband Qin Zhonghai to return to Shengyiju, it seems that Qin Zhonghai has forgiven herself, but as he said, if he wants to get angry again and move out again, it is just a matter of lifting his feet. And this time, whether she can still get the help of her mother-in-law and the understanding of her children, it is really uncertain.
The Yao family can actually see that Qin Jinhua has gradually accepted this marriage in his heart, and even Qin Jian has deepened his friendship with Tang Han, as if he has regarded the other party as a brother-in-law. Only she refused to give up, she always felt that her daughter had suffered a loss when she married Tang Han, and seeing that Princess Qin seemed to appreciate Qin Jinhua very much, she couldn't help but start the idea of the princes of Qin's palace. The holy family of King Qin is long, and the sons of his princess and concubine have a county king in their hands. If Qin Jinhua marries in the past, she will also be a princess of the county, no worse than Qin Hanzhen's future future.
The Yao family was not confused for a while, forgetting the relationship between the Qin Mansion and the Tang family, but they felt in their hearts that Mrs. Tang Yongshou Junjun was born from the side concubine, and it was impossible for Princess Qin to really treat her as a daughter, and because her son was discussing marriage with Qin Jinhua, she would love the house and praise Qin Jinhua. There has never been a difference between the concubines, how could the princess of Qin look at the eldest daughter of the concubine pleasing to her eyes? Maybe she deliberately interfered with this family affair and added to the blockage of the Yongshou Junjun. With the friendship between the Qin Palace's Mansion and the Yongjiahou Mansion, Princess Qin will not fool Qin Jinhua, most likely she really takes a fancy to her. If Qin Jinhua can promote good things with the son of Princess Qin, wouldn't everyone be happy? At that time, the Tang family will not be able to say anything, after all, Mrs. Tang is a concubine, and she will definitely give in. The Chengenhou Mansion will not be retaliated against by the Tang family because of this marriage......
Yao's abacus crackled, but it was useless at all. Qin Zhonghai didn't listen to her analysis at all, so she got angry, she was afraid that she would really make him angry, so she had to give up.
But deep down in Yao's heart, he still felt that it was impossible for Princess Qin and Yongshou Junjun to be as harmonious as if they were mother and daughter, and this family affair had been done. The reason why it couldn't be done was just because Qin Zhonghai had taken a fancy to Tang Han early and had a tacit understanding with the Tang family. Why did Qin Zhonghai take a fancy to Tang Han? It was all thanks to the Xu family! If it weren't for the fact that the Xu family was secretly making trouble, Qin Jinhua had not been able to decide on a marriage for a long time, and they always sabotaged her relationship with others and spread rumors in front of people, how could many high-ranking families misunderstand that Qin Jinhua had been married to Xu Zheng, and for some reason he was dismissed from marriage, maybe there was something wrong, so he had no intention of marrying? Qin Zhonghai could only find the Tang family who knew the roots in the end, plus the Tang family's daughter Tang Su was friendly with Qin Jinhua, and after hearing about Qin Jinhua's grievances, Tang Han's conditions were okay, so this marriage was achieved. If there is no Xu family, Qin Jinhua will definitely be able to find a better marriage, and the prince's mansion can also climb, how can he only succumb to the son of a Dali Siqing?!
The resentment against the Xu family in Yao's heart deepened.
After Qin Jian finished the township exam, someone from the Xu family came to greet him and ask him how he did in the exam, but the Yao family didn't let anyone come to see his son, so he directly sneered and blocked the person back: "Don't bother the cousin and sister-in-law of the Xu family, our children are naturally not as talented as the eldest young master in the house, and even the nobles of the clan are fascinated by it, but they just deal with the exam indiscriminately." Because of the difficulty in the exam, he was very tired, and now he is still recuperating, so he will not go to the door to listen to the teachings of the eldest young master of the house, and let the eldest young master of the house take care of himself! Everyone thinks that he will definitely be able to go to high school in the spring of next year, but it is better not to capsize in the gutter. β
The person who came was dumbfounded and annoyed, but he didn't dare to send it out, so he was directly sent away by Yao. She was so happy that she was wronged, so she went to find Xu's complaint.
Xu Shi frowned, and said lightly: "The family is now worried about Brother Jian'er's hometown test, and Brother Jian'er's mother is just impatient, not intentional." You don't have to tell the truth when you go back, it's just that Brother Jian is tired these days, and you need to recuperate at home for a while. Thank you Brother Zheng for your kindness for me, but the laurel list has not yet come out, how can we know how Brother Jian did in the exam? β
The man only felt that the Xu family seemed to be indifferent to her mother's family, and she obviously hated her daughter-in-law's contempt for the Xu family the most, so how could she let it go lightly today? She couldn't help but say to the Xu family: "But, Mrs. Gu, the words of the second grandmother are really too ugly! If she doesn't take the small ones in her eyes, she doesn't take the Xu family in her eyes, so won't Mrs. Gu be angry?"
Xu Shi glanced at her: "Then how are you going? Do you want me to be angry for you as a subordinate?Who do you think you are?!"
The man's face turned red, and he immediately lowered his head, not daring to speak again.
Xu Shi unceremoniously counted her down and said: "I know that you have always had a face in front of your eldest lady, but don't forget your identity! You are trying to provoke the relationship between me and my daughter-in-law? This hand is too long, right? You are a member of the Xu family, what kind of stand did you come to our Qin family? When you go back, you should also be careful to talk to me, if you dare to talk nonsense in front of your master, don't come to our mansion in the future." We can't afford to provoke the Hou Mansion of Cheng'en!"
The woman was so frightened that she apologized again and again, kowtowed a few times, and it wasn't until Xu's face was not so ugly and ordered her to "get out" that she dared to retreat carefully. As for what she said after returning to the Xu family, she naturally knew it. Now the Xu family is not as good as before, and they still have to look at the Qin family. Mrs. Xu is a temperamental, if she is really angry and wants to make trouble with the Qin family, wouldn't the rest of the Xu family be embarrassed? What's more, Mrs. Xu's health is not good, even if it is for the sake of her condition, her henchman should not say anything. At most, he mentioned it implicitly to Grandma Xu in private, but he didn't dare to really relay Yao's words truthfully. That is clearly cursing Xu Zheng to fall off the list in the spring of tomorrow, Grandma Xu knows that something big is going to happen!
Although the Xu family repelled the Xu family's mother-in-law, he was not unresponsive to Yao's words in his heart. Xu Zheng is her most admired and beloved nephew, how can the Yao family curse him to fall off the list? But now she needs to repair the relationship with her children and grandchildren, and then win over her daughter-in-law, so that the Yao family, the Min family, and others can be a helper for her in the marriage between Xu Xiu and Lu Chuming, and cooperate with her. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to take Xu Xiu to live at home just because she wanted to, let alone arrange for Xu Xiu to get close to the Lu family brothers. She felt that the Xu family's mother-in-law was troublesome, but she was also quite dissatisfied with Yao's attitude.
She obviously did her daughter-in-law a big favor and showed enough kindness. What does it mean that the Yao clan is now taking revenge?!
She called her son Qin Zhonghai over, mentioned the words of the mother-in-law of the Xu family, and said, "I have already taught that mother-in-law a lesson, let her stop talking nonsense after returning to the Xu family." It's just that what's wrong with your daughter-in-law today? It's just that she was a little dissatisfied with Brother Zheng in the past, and now things have changed, for the sake of the two relatives, she has to be polite and thorough, right? Knowing that what the Xu family cares about most is Brother Zheng'er's future, what does she want to do if she has to curse others on this kind of thing? You go and ask her, do you have to make compensation to her in person, the old woman, so that she can lose her anger and continue to be relatives of the Xu family? If so, I have no choice but to give up this old face. β
Qin Zhonghai could vaguely guess in his heart that the Yao family was estimated to be just angry with the Xu family because of Qin Jinhua's marriage. He didn't say much, so he said: "The Yao family has always had a knot in the heart of the Xu family, and now that the Xu family is acting, they don't take your old man in their eyes, she is filial to you, and she will be unhappy for you." If you think it's not good to do this, your son will go back and tell her to stop giving the Xu family a face. Don't get her wrong, how could she ask you to make amends for her? She doesn't have the guts to do that. β
Xu Shi only felt that his son's words were simply reversing black and white, but he also understood that this was his attitude. She was helpless: "Since you said so, then forget it this time." In the future, even if the two of you have any dissatisfaction with the Xu family, you must remember that it is your own uncle's house. Blood is thicker than water, how can it be said that estrangement is estrangement? Now your eldest uncle is in trouble, and your second uncle and cousins are also affected. As long as you can do it, you can help it. Isn't it just about supporting each other?"
Qin Zhonghai tugged at the corners of his mouth, and seemed to show a somewhat mocking smile: "My son understands." β
It's in the past. But the Yao family still couldn't get angry with the Xu family, at most they listened to Qin Zhonghai's persuasion and no longer ridiculed so obviously. However, when she heard that the Xu family had encountered some troubles, she would say some worrying clichΓ©s, and she still gloated in her heart.
At the beginning of July, when Xu Zheng and Miss Lu were married, Mrs. Xu, who was still very energetic and radiant, seemed to have suddenly lost her spirit and spirit, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, she weakened all the way. The Xu family originally blocked the news, but when they arrived, they were a little panicked, so they could only inform their relatives and friends, and then went to ask the Xu family to help invite a doctor to come to the house and see Mrs. Xu.
Two doctors came before and after, and the results of the diagnosis were not optimistic. Mrs. Xu has been ill for a long time, and I am afraid that she has already run out of oil. The eldest grandson's sturdy family at that time was mostly just a return to the light. One of the imperial doctors also advised his family to make some preparations as soon as possible, maybe they could rush ahead.
The Xu family panicked. Although Mrs. Xu said that she had been ill for a year, she had always been in good spirits, and she had improved from time to time during the period, who would have thought that she would suddenly say that she was seriously ill, and she would be seriously ill?
After two days, Mrs. Xu still did not get better, and even lost consciousness. The Lu family, who have not yet left Beijing, have begun to cry. Qin Jian, Qin Jinhua, Qin Jinrong, Qin Duan and other children also didn't care about the taboos they once had, and came to Xu's house to visit this uncle and grandmother in person.
On the day of the release of the township test list, the good news and the funeral report arrived at the Chengenhou Mansion almost at the same time. Qin Jian and Tang Han are both on the list, and they have to be promoted. At the same time, Mrs. Xu's funeral letter was also sent to Xu's hands.
Qin Jian and Tang Han both decided to give it a try next spring. However, Xu Zheng was destined to be unable to participate in this branch because he wanted to keep his grandmother's filial piety.
