When only Mrs. Yunyang Hou and Cai Shizi's mother and son were left, the former sighed and complained to his son: "Yuanzhen doesn't know why, suddenly resisting this family business so much. I originally thought that the King of Suning County and Qin Jian were both good, and the King of Suning County was better. Now that Qin Jian's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are at odds, it seems that the king of Suning County is independent, and his home is quiet. I didn't expect Yuan Zhen to oppose it so resolutely. ”

Cai Shizi said softly: "If my sister doesn't want to, forget it." Why should my mother mention it again? Although our family is not extremely wealthy, it is not comparable to ordinary people, and there is no need to grieve my sister and reluctantly marry someone she doesn't like for the sake of our family. Although the king of Suning County is good, it is a pity that he has already intended for someone, and Yuanzhen does not want her future husband to be unwholehearted to herself, so we naturally want to fulfill her. Qin Jian's side is not really that bad, and there may not be no room for discretion. Mrs. Chengenhou's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not in harmony, but because of the marriage of the grandchildren, and when the marriages of the juniors are settled, there is naturally no way to quarrel. Other than that, there is nothing bad about the Qin family. Qin Jian's house is quiet, and among the children of the official eunuchs in the capital, it is a rare clean self-care. In terms of conduct, she is worthy of her sister. ”

Mrs. Yunyang Hou was silent for a moment before she said, "How do you know that this kind of thing is not so easy to end when your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not in harmony." The one who is the granddaughter-in-law will definitely be involved. No matter who you help, there will always be someone who is picky. If the two do not help each other, it will be even more evil. Where am I willing to suffer from Yuanzhen?"

Mrs. Yunyang Hou also served as a granddaughter-in-law, back then, her father-in-law died early, and her husband was ordered to support the family's great cause and take the risk of guarding the border. She stayed at home, served her mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and watched the two elders compete for the power of the middle feed, but she was not less angry. When the mother-in-law died and the mother-in-law was the only one, her life was even more difficult. Fortunately, her husband returned to Beijing to take up his post, and he was a clear person, so he decisively persuaded his mother-in-law to retire with peace of mind and put the power of the middle feed into her hands, so that she could be regarded as getting through. But even so, before her mother-in-law died, she suffered a lot of cold faces and white eyes, and her mother-in-law hurt her in the name of caring for her son's heirs. Otherwise, how did Cai Wanzhen, a concubine, come from?

Mrs. Yunyang Hou knew that kind of hardship, so as soon as she heard that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Chengenhou's mansion were not in harmony, no matter how outstanding Qin Jian was, she immediately kicked him out of the list of candidates for son-in-law. Her hard work, the eldest son who has been well concealed by her since childhood, will not understand.

Cai Shizi didn't understand, he really didn't take this kind of thing seriously. In his opinion, the idleness of being a granddaughter-in-law depends on who it is. As long as her father, Yunyang Hou, is still in power, except in the palace, no matter who Cai Yuanzhen marries into, it is impossible for any elder who is not long-sighted to embarrass her. Whether it is Mrs. Chengenhou or her daughter-in-law Qin Er, they will only offer Cai Yuanzhen and politely. No matter how much their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarrel and disagree, they will not involve Cai Yuanzhen, and maybe they will try their best to draw her to their side. And when his father Yunyang Hou stepped down from the center of power, he Cai Shizhi would be on top. He will become a strong backer for his sister and will not let her be wronged in her husband's family.

He in turn persuaded his mother: "If you think the Qin family is not good, then let's take a look." If there are other suitable candidates, we don't have to be Qin Jian. It's just that before you decide on a candidate, don't talk to death. Everything depends on whether my sister likes it or not. ”

Mrs. Yunyang Hou sighed and said, "I originally thought that you two brothers and sisters, there will always be one who can marry the Qin family. But now that the third girl is gone, and Qin Jian has shortcomings, what can I do? If I pick other children of the Qin family, there is always something missing. ”

Except for the eldest grandson Qin Jian, the other children of the Qin family are either concubines or too young. The Xu family didn't consider it, the family style was not right, no matter how good the two children were, they couldn't let their daughter marry into such a family. The Lu family is okay, Lu Chuming and Lu Chuliang are both decent and motivated good children, Lu Chuming is polite and polite, Lu Chuliang is lively and likable, but the former is dedicated to studying and has not yet considered marriage, and the latter is too young. No matter which one it is, it is not enough to match the eldest daughter Yuanzhen. When the second daughter Ji Zhen wants to say goodbye, you can see how Lu Chuming was at that time.

Cai Shizi smiled and said, "Mother doesn't have to worry. If you really want to marry the Qin family, then let me come, I am the eldest brother, and I should share the worries of my father and mother. ”

Mrs. Yunyang Hou said angrily: "What do you still say, just now I proposed to let you marry Miss Qinsan, but Yuanzhen objected, saying that you can't break her up with the king of Suning County, you have all relied on her, who else can you marry now?"

She motioned to her two daughters to help observe the character preferences of the girls of the Qin, Lu, and Xu families, but in fact, the focus was on the girls of the Qin family, in order to choose a suitable wife for the eldest son, choose a daughter-in-law for Cai Seventeen, and observe Xu Xiu, in fact, it was just incidental. It's just that Cai Yuanzhen doesn't know the inside story, only that she wants to choose wives for her cousins from several girls. However, this did not prevent Cai Yuanzhen from providing her mother with information about several girls.

Among the daughters of the Qin family, Qin Jinhua is well-behaved and sensible, although she is not very outstanding, but there is nothing wrong with it, and it can be seen that she is a girl with an excellent personality. But the problem is that she is obviously the darling of the family, pampered since childhood, and she was raised in honey. If such a girl marries a daughter-in-law, I am afraid that she will have to be coaxed by her husband, and it does not seem to be able to support things. It's good to be the youngest son's daughter-in-law, and she doesn't like to make trouble, but she is by no means the best candidate to be the eldest daughter-in-law.

Qin Hanzhen was originally the most suitable one. Although she is the eldest daughter of a widow and raised by her grandmother since she was a child, and her grandmother does not have a very good reputation in the circle of powerful women in the capital, Mrs. Yunyang Hou has gotten along with the Niu family, and she doesn't think there is anything wrong with her. This is actually very common among the female dependents of military generals. Mrs. Yunyang Hou even felt that the Niu family was already a knowledgeable person compared to many of the ladies of the generals, and she could also say a lot of learned words. And Qin Hanzhen's usual etiquette and behavior are not wrong, and she seems a little quiet in front of people, but her daughter Cai Yuanzhen once said that she is also a cheerful girl in private. What is rare is that she has a keen sense, she has heard and knows some important affairs of the court, understands things, and has opinions, and will not be easily bound by external public opinion, which is even more rare. Mrs. Yunyang Hou felt that such a girl, coupled with the fact that she was the granddaughter of Yongjiahou of the Holy Grace Jilong, was worthy of her own family's son. However, it is a pity that she has long been favored by the king of Suning County, and the eldest daughter Cai Yuanzhen is strongly opposed, so it is difficult for Mrs. Yunyang Hou to mention it more.

In addition, Qin Jinchun is also an assertive girl, who looks innocent and lively on the outside, but in fact, she is not lacking in heart and eyes at all. The only deficiency is that his father's official position is too low, and he is from the second room of the Qin family without a title, so he is almost the daughter of a side branch. It is not possible to match the parents and sons, but a few nephews can be considered.

The girl of the Lu family is not bad, gentle and steady, and cares for her younger siblings. His father is now also a high-ranking official from Sanpin, and he is still a fat poor person in salt transportation. Mrs. Yunyang Hou felt that Lu Yueniang, the eldest girl of Lu, was actually stronger than Xu Xiu, and she was a descendant, but it was a pity that she was the granddaughter of the second room of the Qin family, and she was one level away from Yongjiahou. Otherwise, it may not be a good candidate.

Mrs. Yunyang Hou had a headache. Could it be true that you really want to give up your marriage with the Qin family? But the children of the Qin family of the right age are all here, and only a second-room Qin girl is missing, and it is said that she has been ill for a long time and her temperament is not very good, so she naturally does not consider it. Which girl does she want to choose as her eldest son's daughter-in-law? She is not willing to let her daughter be wronged, and naturally she is not willing to wronged her son.

Cai Shizi smiled softly and said to his mother, "You don't have to worry too much. When a son marries a wife, he doesn't expect her to be the daughter of a wealthy family or a powerful minister. Our Cai family is rich enough, and as the eldest son, our son does not need to have a powerful wife to add glory. The son only hopes that his future wife will be a well-read, gentle and virtuous girl, and her background will be secondary. She doesn't need to be stunningly beautiful, she doesn't have to be a world-shattering talent, and she doesn't need to be shrewd and capable. If the son can support this family, he will protect the family well, and he doesn't need his wife to worry about it. All she has to do is to teach her husband and children, be filial to her parents, and take good care of her younger brothers and sisters. In addition, it would be better if she had a tolerant temperament, was willing to be considerate of her son's occasional temper, did not care about the misfortunes of her younger siblings when they were naughty, and had a healthy body, and could have more children and not get sick at every turn. ”

Mrs. Yunyang Hou's expression slowed down when she heard this, and she couldn't help but smile and said: "If you say so, there are girls who can match your heart, and there are ones in the capital." Mother is even more troubled, how to pick this?"

Cai Shizi smiled slightly: "Don't you want to marry the Qin family? Although several girls from the Qin family are not to your liking, then look for the granddaughter of the Qin family, and it will be the same." ”

Mrs. Yunyang Hou was stunned, and suddenly realized: "What do you mean...... She looked at her son seriously, "You have taken a fancy to the girl of the Lu family, when have you met her in private?"

Cai Shizi said with a smile: "My son has never met her in private, but he has only come to see his mother a few times, and he has seen her taking care of a few younger siblings from a distance, gentle and kind, but not blindly conniving, and managing several children obediently." Even Shi Jue and Ji Zhen were convinced by her. The son thought that if he could marry Miss Lu as his wife, she would definitely be a good eldest daughter-in-law and eldest sister-in-law. ”

Mrs. Yunyang Hou thought for a while, frowned, and said: "This girl herself is just a ...... family background" Thinking that Lu Pu was from the third grade, it was not very bad, so she changed her words, "If you don't consider that her relationship with Yongjiahou is too estranged, she is also a good candidate." ”

Cai Shizi said: "Yongjiahou is not visible, but he is actually a very protective person. He has only been back in Beijing for a few years, and he has never had a deep friendship with the daughter of Chengenhou, but if something happened to the Hou of Zhenxi, he was able to protect the reputation of the Hou Mansion in Zhenxi for the sake of his niece, so that the Su family would not become a sinner of rebellion and be spurned by tens of thousands of people. Mrs. Lu often goes to Yongjiahou's Mansion and gets along better with her uncle and aunt, and Miss Lu may not be protected by Yongjiahou. Actually, it's all secondary. The power of Yongjiahou is all from the royal family. And our Cai family, as long as we can stabilize our position, fulfill our duties, and be virtuous, we will not be embarrassed by us. How can our family need Yongjiahou's shelter?"

Mrs. Yunyang Hou sighed again: "Since you have said everything to this point, then I will discuss it with your father when I go back." If he has no objections, ask the matchmaker to go to the Chengenhou Mansion to propose marriage. Miss Lu is not young, and her father has recently been promoted, and he is about to be released from his foreign position. ”

Cai Shizi smiled and held his mother's hand: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
