Chapter 387: Worry
Qin Hanzhen stood outside the door of the main house, not knowing what expression to put on his face.
Qin Ping: What's going on? I hadn't heard him talk about such a thing before! Could it be that it was because he had a plan in his heart that he didn't pay attention to his marriage and only paid attention to Wu Shaoying's marriage? Although Qin Hanzhen had long known that she would welcome a stepmother, but now that she had learned that Qin Ping had already fallen in love with a strange woman and was planning to marry the other party, she was still a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Qin Hanzhen took a deep breath, lifted the curtain and entered the door, trying to reduce his sense of existence, and only sat in the main room, trying not to let Qin Bai, Niu, and Qin Ping in the eastern room notice his movements.
The Niu family was still complaining about the eldest son Qin Ping: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Although it was not decided, the relatives and friends who were present that day heard it and should be able to guess what was going on. If our family changes the hexagram, how will Sister Fang see people in the future? This is going to make a mortal enmity with the Huang family!"
Qin Ping probably knew that he was at a loss, so he begged Niu in a low voice: "Mother, I didn't expect this to happen." Isn't that a mistake? The son really can't marry the girl of the Huang family. β
Qin Bai frowned and asked Qin Ping solemnly, "Which girl do you like, how old is it, and what kind of temperament?"
Niu was reminded by her husband: "Yes, which girl is it? Is she good-looking? I don't believe that there is a stronger girl in this world than Sister Fang, since you also said it, it has not yet been decided, then you recognize the Huang family's family business, what can you do?"
Qin Ping said: "Even if it is not decided, the son has also made a promise to others, how can he change his hexagram halfway? Isn't that a violation of integrity? The father taught his son since he was a child to be a trustworthy gentleman, which is not in line with our family's family style." β
Niu said with some anger: "Which girl is so good? Can you learn to talk back? I still don't want to marry you a good daughter-in-law? But you still don't appreciate it! That's it, I have given birth to two sons in my life, and none of them are worry-free, it seems that I can't enjoy the blessings of my children and grandchildren!"
Qin Bai pulled her and said, "How can you say such a thing? Our husband and wife don't have grandchildren, and the children are not unfilial, don't you be sad when you say this, so that the children hear it?"
Niu's also knew that he was talking too much, but he was aggrieved: "I really want to hope that my son is good, where did I think it would be like this......" said that his eyes were red, "Except for the old five families, which daughter-in-law who entered the door was not selected by me, even if it was the old five families, it was also thinking that he was remarrying, and he was worried about Brother Qian, and he couldn't choose a girl with a good family background, so he could only choose from honest people." Now I finally met someone who suited my heart, and it was the best girl, I thought that Brother Ping could be a couple with her and He Meimei, but I didn't think it would be such a result. I did a bad thing with good intentions, but I hurt Sister Fang. How can I have the face to see the Huang family in the future?!" She was about to cry.
Qin Ping was a little panicked when he saw this, and hurriedly said, "Mother, don't cry, son...... The son knows that he is wrong, and the son makes amends to you. Actually, this thing ...... It's not like there's no solution. Isn't Shaoying still kissing? He is also very good, handsome, well-mannered, and younger than his son, and he is married for the first time. Even if there are some deficiencies in the family background, he is now about to be promoted to the fifth grade, and his future is limitless, and he has never insulted the girl of the Huang family. The mother did not explicitly say at the banquet that she wanted to marry her son, but the Huang family once said that they would not let their daughter marry to fill the house, so the mother asked Shaoying to marry Miss Huang, which was the same. He thought in his heart, he was afraid that the Huang family would have come to see Wu Shaoying, not Qin Ping.
Niu Shi snorted, stunned for a moment, and then shook his head and said, "No! Although Shaoying is good, the Huang family may not be a good choice for him." β
Qin Ping was a little anxious: "Why is it not a good choice? Could it be that in my mother's mind, I also have a view of the portal?"
Niu slapped Qin Ping's arm heavily: "You bastard, how do you know the truth here?! How can I think Shaoying's family background is not good? In my heart, he is no different from our own children, and I may be closer to him than to your cousins." It's just that the people outside are all right, and the Huang family is not an ordinary family. You are the son of our Yongjiahou Mansion, you are old, you have no heirs, you want to marry and fill the house, Huang Jiafang's sister married a little aggrieved, but as soon as she enters the door, she is Mrs. Shizi, she is also old, the Huang family thinks about their daughter's future, and then look at the lintel of our house, there is nothing to complain about. But Shaoying's family background is indeed a little thinner. He is the only one, if he really marries Sister Fang, is Sister Fang marrying him, or is he a son-in-law for the Huang family?!"
Qin Ping was stunned: "This ......" He had never thought of this truth. But Wu Shaoying has Yongjiahou Mansion as a backer, and the Huang family has always been a reasonable family, so it will not be like this. Wu Shaoying can't live in the Huang family, how can people misunderstand that he is a son-in-law?
Niu shook his head: "Do you think that only by living in the Huang family will you be said to be a son-in-law? Our family is not a serious family member of Shaoying, and we can support him, but it is impossible to be like his parents and ask about everything. If the Huang family doesn't look down on him in their hearts, will they really treat him as their own family? If you speak a little slack, Shaoying will be wronged, but we can't stand up for him every time. Besides, when Shaoying went outside, everyone knew that he was married to the daughter of a wealthy family, so what would they think of him? Gossip must be indispensable! He is obviously very capable, and he can be a big official on his own, how can you bear to let him bear such a false name? Besides, no matter how good Sister Fang'er is, she is also pampered. The life she lived was different from the life of Shaoying. Although Shaoying has a lot of family business, she may not be able to afford her expenses. After getting married, if she accommodates Shaoying, it is wronged her; but if Shaoying accommodates her, then whose money will it cost? Hua Shaoying, Shaoying can't afford it, and Sister Hua Fang's marriage, Shaoying's reputation is not good. This marriage is not something that can be said with a simple touch of the skin, don't make a mess here!"
Qin Ping was dumbfounded when he heard this, he never expected that there would be so many disadvantages in this marriage, but ...... The Huang family seems to have taken a fancy to Wu Shaoying!
Qin Bai said to Niu: "Although you think thoughtfully, Shaoying may not be afraid of this. The Huang family's sister Fang is not a pampered person who can't endure hardship. In the past few years in Jiangnan, she loves to travel in the mountains and rivers, and the expenses during the period are also quite economical. Moreover, she has a more and more resolute temperament and is assertive, if she can be rationed to Shaoying, she is a good candidate for a virtuous helper. β
Niu Shi was surprised: "Why did Master Hou follow Brother Ping to mess around together? How can this be done? I am not afraid to mention Shaoying to the third old lady of the Huang family, but if she doesn't look down on it and annoys us, there is no room for this matter to turn around, don't let people misunderstand that we dislike Sister Fang, and refuse to choose her even to fill the house!"
Qin Ping hurriedly said: "How can this be? It was the Huang family who said that they would not let their daughter fill the house." If you want to discuss marriage with the Huang family, it is naturally impossible to say that you are filling the house, and it is logical to mention Shaoying. β
Qin Bai glanced at Qin Ping deeply, seeing that Qin Ping's heart was empty, he lowered his head. Qin Bai said to his old wife: "Madam, Brother Ping'er's words are also reasonable, Shaoying is not worse than others, you mention his matter first, if the third old lady of the Huang family does not answer, it is not that meaning, you just think that the two of them have not decided anything, and invite the daughter of the Huang family to come to the door, it is also because she cares about Sister Fang and wants to find a good marriage for her among relatives and friends." However, you can inquire about the meaning of the Huang family, and see which of our relatives and friends' children and nephews they like more, and we can say it on our behalf. β
Niu Shi glanced at her husband in surprise and hesitated: "If this is the case, it seems that it can be reasonable." She sighed, "I hope the third old lady of the Huang family doesn't complain about me." What's all this called?!"
Qin Bai smiled slightly: "Don't worry about Madam, if the Huang family takes a fancy to Shaoying, you don't have to worry anymore." Even if there is a difference in the door, it is also a matter for Shaoying and the Huang family to discuss and solve. Shaoying is my student, if he can't even solve this problem, how can he shepherd one side and do things for the court?"
Niu Shi said angrily: "Master Hou said it easily, is it easy for Shaoying to live alone? Why don't you know how distressed and distressed you are for him?" After finishing speaking, he sighed again, "I originally thought that I would pick a side branch of Shaoying's big family, and my family background should not be too prominent, and it would be good to be able to protect him a little." In this way, the husband and wife are from similar backgrounds, there is no difference between strength and weakness, and they can live a more harmonious life in the future. I also specially asked Mrs. Yunyang Hou and Mrs. Min to keep an eye on it for me. I still like these girls from military generals more in my heart, they have a cool temperament and are easy to get along with. Shaoying is such a gentle and amiable child, and I don't know if I will be easily angry outside, if there is a more beneficial daughter-in-law to take care of him, I can rest assured. "But now this hard work, I don't know if it will be in vain!
Niu sighed mournfully, worried about the upcoming meeting with the Huang family's daughter, and did not notice that her husband and eldest son looked at each other several times, and after ending this conversation, they discussed alone in the study for a long time before they dispersed.
The next day, the third elder lady of the Huang family came to the door with her daughter-in-law and eldest daughter. The Niu family received them cordially and friendly, and all the hospitality was good, and they only hoped that when they proposed Wu Shaoying as a candidate for a while, the Huang family would be able to see her hospitality and not be too angry.
To her surprise, when she vaguely mentioned that her husband Qin Bai's protΓ©gΓ© Wu Shaoying, who is also their family's in-law, has not been managed by an elder, and is busy with studies and official business, so that she has not yet married a wife, which makes her very worried, Huang Qingfang's eldest sister Min Huang smiled and clapped her hands: "I have a good marriage, and I want to introduce it to this Lord Wu." What does Madame think of my sister-in-law? Character and temperament can't be matched, but I don't know what Madame thinks?"
Niu couldn't help but stay there. What is this unfolding?!
