Chapter 638: Urging
What Qin Hanzhen can really think of, Chengenhou's wife Xu can naturally think of.
Xu has seen his nephew and grandma Xu twice, and every time he mentions the marriage of his nephew and grandson Xu Zheng, Grandma Xu always excuses herself, not that Master Xu is not in good health and cannot attend the wedding, which is unlucky, that is, Xu Zheng still needs to prepare for the exam, for fear that he will be distracted. Xu was pushed by her twice, and she was also a little impatient, and called her nephew and daughter-in-law over for the third time, and even her nephew Uncle Xu was also called, and urged again.
This time, she was a little unkind to her nephew and niece and daughter-in-law: "Who doesn't know about the family affairs that have been set up in the whole capital? If you procrastinate and refuse to get married, what do you want others to think? The reputation of the Xu family is not good, and if you are chewed on your tongue again, will you want Brother Zheng'er's name to be cleared? This reputation is very important! Don't think that the Lu family is no longer prominent in the past, so you have the intention of ruining the marriage, and you don't have to ruin the future of Brother Zheng'er's life!"
Grandma Xu smiled a little reluctantly: "Mrs. Gu is serious, where did it come to this point?"
Xu didn't bother to say much to her, so he only turned his head and asked his nephew: "Can the recovery go well?" What did your previous boss say to you?"
Uncle Xu was speechless for a while, but his heart was depressed. How easy it is for the second room to get back to the second master, as soon as Qin Zhonghai and Qin Shutao made a move, they said hello to their in-laws, Lord Tang of Dali Temple, and the matter was solved, and they didn't even have to spend more money, they only needed to prepare a regular thank you gift. And what about him? After so many days of filial piety, he spent a small 1,000 taels of silver to go out, and no one could give him an accurate word. No matter who you ask to inquire, they are vague and prevaricating, and there are even people who are unwilling to pay attention to him. At that time, although his father's reputation was discredited, his colleagues were still polite to him, and there was no snobbery. It's only been a year, why has everyone changed?
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xu could guess what was going on. Uncle Xu's recovery was not smooth, she had already let people inquire.
She coughed a few times, calmed down her breath a little, and then continued: "I just said, the reputation of the Xu family is not as good as before, and people outside have a lot of misunderstandings about our Xu family, and if something happens to the Xu family at this time, it will only make people gossip more." Why bother? Do you want Brother Zheng to say a better family matter, not for his future? I thought the same way at the beginning, so I will work hard for him. It's a pity that my sister-in-law can't understand my hard work, so she has a relationship with the Lu family. Since this family affair has already been settled, unless the girl of the Lu family dies before marriage, it can never be changed! People who go back on their word and do not keep their word and righteousness, but all those who pay attention to dignity and high families will disdain to get along, let alone get married! Instead of making people misunderstand Brother Zheng'er's temperament and not even give him a chance, it is better to accept the family business of the Lu family, and quickly hold the wedding, so that outsiders can take a look, our Xu family is also a family of trustworthiness and righteousness. The previous rumors were all misunderstandings!"
Speaking of this, Xu Shi didn't catch it in one breath, and hurriedly took a few breaths, before he continued angrily: "Brother Zheng'er is already excellent, not only good at learning, but also good at temperament and etiquette, as long as he is a person who has seen him, there is nothing that he does not boast of." It has always been the rest of the Xu family that has dragged him down, and there is no time for him to do bad things himself. Even if he failed to marry a famous and noble woman, no one could hide his brilliance! Moreover, although the Lu family was not as prominent as before, it was also a well-known scholarly family in Shilin, so there were always a few friends, and many of the Lu family were officials in the court in the same year. The current situation of the eldest brother is not easy to take Brother Zheng out to socialize, and you parents, I am afraid that you don't have such a wide network. In the second room, it's too late to worry about Brother Rong'er, and I'm afraid I won't be able to help. If you take the opportunity of the wedding, let the Lu family take Brother Zheng out for a walk, visit a few more old friends, and spread Brother Zheng'er's good reputation from Shilin. Those gossips of the past will naturally dissipate with the wind!"
That seems to make sense. Uncle Xu said: "Aunt is right. If the cousin of the Lu family can help Brother Zheng and rebuild his reputation in Shilin, when Brother Zheng enters high school, there will be someone willing to help him. One of Cousin Lu's was the same year, and it seemed that he was an official in the Ministry of Officials, but he hadn't been in contact for many years, and it was difficult for me to climb up. When Cousin Lu went to Beijing, I persuaded him to visit this fellow student, and he must have been willing. โ
Xu Shi glanced at him, but didn't want to say more to him. If the Lu family can rely on this same year as an official in the ministry, it will not be wasted for many years. If the same year still remembered his friendship with Lu's family, he didn't need the latter to speak, and he would have done a little bit for him, or passed on the news. Since the Lu family has never benefited from the other party, it is impossible to climb it now. My nephew was really sick and rushed to the hospital this time.
It's just that in this case, Xu has no intention of saying it explicitly. For now, it is important to finish the marriage for Xu Zheng first. When Lu's family goes to Beijing, what can be done and what can't be done, he will speak, and he doesn't need to talk too much about Xu's aunt.
Xu Shi looked at Grandma Xu, as if waiting for her to make a statement.
Grandma Xu smiled very reluctantly, she was still unwilling to accept the Lu family's family business, and it was clear that Xu Zheng had the opportunity to conclude a better marriage, but she ruined her dead mother-in-law! As for the Xu family's current reputation, it was not caused by the public who had a stroke in bed, or by the aunt and grandmother in front of her, who always liked to meddle in her mother's family affairs. Without her messing around with mandarin duck scores outside, how could the Xu family's reputation be ruined to the point where it is now?!
Seeing that Grandma Xu was stubborn, Xu couldn't help coughing for a while. Her health is not as good as before, after vomiting blood a few times, she always has to cough, and after taking medicine for several months, there is no obvious improvement, and her energy is far less than before. This made her flustered, and she became more and more anxious to take care of the important younger generations of her mother's family, otherwise she would not be able to rest assured.
Xu had no choice but to reveal an important piece of news: "Now is not the time for you to mess around! Brother Zheng'er's marriage has been delayed for a year because of the death of his sister-in-law. At the moment, the crown princess of the East Palace is not in good health, and she may not be able to hold on at any time. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very affectionate, and the specifications of this funeral cannot be low. If you encounter national filial piety, you may have to work for many months to forbid the joy of civil marriage. Besides, the eldest brother's condition is not improving now, in case he is ...... like the sister-in-law before."
This kind of frustration, that is, the elder of the Xu family dares to say it, and he has to carry Master Xu on his back. However, Uncle Xu and Grandma Xu both understood what Xu's meant, the national filial piety is not long, but there is still a period of time, if you meet family filial piety after the end, it will be even more troublesome! As soon as Master Xu dies, Xu Zheng has to keep filial piety, even if the grandchildren only have one year of filial piety, but Uncle Xu and Grandma Xu have to keep it for three years. Xu Zheng married after his filial piety, and the wedding was not lively. Xu Zheng is the baby bump of the Xu family's big house, how can parents bear to watch his wedding too simple?
When Xu saw the change in the expressions of his nephew and nephew, he knew that he had finally persuaded them, and he could breathe a sigh of relief. She gave Hong Yan, the big girl standing on the side, a look, and Hong Yan hurriedly helped her change her posture, added two pillows to her, and served ginseng tea with just the right temperature. Xu Shi took two sips and felt a little regained a little energy, before he continued stubbornly: "What? As long as Brother Zheng is married to a scholarly lady who knows books and is a little more ordinary, what does it matter? Besides, this is still set by the sister-in-law before her death, and she is the sister-in-law's maiden niece and granddaughter...... I look at Miss Lu's appearance, and it's not too insulting to Brother Zheng. When the two of them get married and spread out as soon as possible, Miss Lu can take care of Brother Zheng'er's food, clothing and daily life, and she can be regarded as a competent daughter-in-law. You don't have to be too demanding, as long as Brother Zheng'er has a smooth career......"
Before Grandma Xu could speak, Uncle Xu nodded first: "Aunt is reasonable." Since the family matter has been decided, there is no reason to break the contract. Originally, it was just because I was worried about Brother Zheng'er's studies, and I was afraid that he would be distracted by his marriage and not be able to study and prepare for the exam with peace of mind. Now that I think about it, there are still more than two years to go, so it should be too late to spare two or three days to get busy with marriage, and it doesn't matter. โ
Xu's heart said, maybe not more than two years. Uncle Xu and his wife may not be well-informed enough, so they haven't heard of the news that Enke may be opened next year. However, there is no clear purpose for this, and it cannot be asserted. Anyway, Xu Zheng's knowledge is very solid, and it was no problem to take the exam this spring, but it was delayed because of filial piety, and it will not be a big problem to take the exam again next year. Don't mention Enke at this time, so as not to let my nephew and daughter-in-law have delusions again, which will cause Xu Zheng's marriage to be extraneous.
Even if Xu Zheng is admitted to the Jinshi, this marriage contract cannot be broken. Because the tributes who are going to officially enter the official position need a clean reputation. It's not as good as those who are unmotivated, and they may not plan to go to the meeting for the rest of their lives, and it doesn't matter how they toss their reputation.
As a result, Hsu remained silent on Enko's news. Uncle Xu immediately spoke, and after returning home, he immediately found someone to watch the auspicious day, wrote a letter to the Lu family, and asked the Lu family to send the Lu family to Beijing to complete the marriage. Grandma Xu wanted to speak and stopped, but she couldn't open her mouth in a depressed way.
It's true that she doesn't like Miss Lu, but if she wants her baby son to never be able to marry a wife, then she will still forget about Miss Lu. If Miss Lu's father can really help her husband and son in terms of connections, she is not intolerant of such a daughter-in-law from a mediocre background.
Xu Zheng's marriage came to fruition, and Xu solved a major matter in his heart, and he suddenly became much more settled. But she's not done with what she has to worry about. After drinking two more sips of ginseng tea, she asked again: "Sister Xiu'er's relatives, what regulations do you have?"
Grandma Xu immediately cheered up, knowing that this was her aunt and grandmother who wanted to meddle in her daughter's marriage again. This time, she and her daughter had already planned, and they must not let the Xu family spoil their good deeds!
