Chapter 211: Measurement

Second Grandma Xu didn't quite understand what her mother-in-law meant when she suddenly mentioned Cai Seventeen: "That cousin of Yunyang Hou? What's wrong with him?"

Second Mrs. Xu muttered: "Didn't you listen to Mrs. Cai San yesterday? At that time, I said that it was not easy for my children to get married, and she picked up such a sentence, was it hinting at something? I ignored it at the time, and after that, the Cai family never mentioned the marriage of their children to me again. ”

"Cai Seventeen?!" Second Grandma Xu was taken aback, she thought for a while, "This is also possible." However, this Cai Seventeen is not as good as the young masters of the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, and even Cai Nineteen is not as good as Cai Nineteen. Although Cai Nineteen is also the nephew of the Marquis of Yunyang, he is a nephew, and his father is a fourth-grade military attachΓ©, and he has always been useful, which is very different from an orphan like Cai Seventeen, who completely relies on the Marquis of Yunyang. Cai 19's parents are both complete, and his family is wealthy, so he doesn't have to worry about not being able to talk about the right family affairs, and Cai 17 will be in trouble. His father died early, and his mother even left him to remarry! His family has no permanent property, and who would be willing to marry his daughter to him if there is a somewhat decent family in Beijing? It is estimated that a family from a small family will look at the Yunyang Marquis Mansion for the sake of the Marquis of Yunyang, but such a family is afraid that the Yunyang Marquis Mansion will not look down on him. After all, although Cai Qiqi's family background is not very good, he can be regarded as raised by Yunyang Hou and his wife, and he is not much different from his own children. ”

Second Mrs. Xu sighed and said, "Actually, I also thought that if Cai Qi'er recognized Yunyang Hou as his father, maybe things would be much easier." But now that he is only a cousin in name, even if everyone knows that Yunyang Hou and his wife treat him very well, they may not be able to pull down their face and marry their daughter. I don't know about others, but in our family anyway, we should be unwilling. On the side of the long house, it is even more impossible for the sister-in-law to agree. ”

Grandma Xu was a little confused when she heard this: "What does my mother-in-law mean by this...... Do you want to marry Sister Lan to Cai Seventeen? How could Changfang not agree? Sister Lan is just a concubine. What else is there to find fault about her marriage? If she can really promise Cai Seventeen, it will be Sister Lan's blessing. How can you say that, it's also the Marquis Mansion of Yunyang!"

Second Mrs. Xu said in a low voice: "How can it be Sister Lan? If the Marquis of Yunyang is willing to ask Cai Qiqi to marry a concubine, what kind of family affairs can't be said? Mrs. Cai San said that his family affairs are difficult to decide, naturally because the Cai family expects him to be able to talk about a good family, but the Cai family may not be able to look up to him! It can be seen from this that the Cai family will not want Cai Qiqi to marry a concubine, or even want him to marry a small family, how can he be a daughter of an official family with outstanding education, and he must also be a concubine. ”

Grandma Xu's eyes widened suddenly: "Is it possible...... Do you mean Sister Xiu'er?! Sister Xiu'er is the eldest daughter of our Xu family, how can she marry the son of a small military attachΓ©? Even if Cai Qiqi is now backed by the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, it is not the right household, and the meaning of flattery and flattery is too strong, and our Xu family will definitely be laughed at again......

Second Mrs. Xu smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Sister Xiu'er's grandfather is a third-grade official, but her father's rank is low. In addition to the difference between civil and military, Sister Xiu'er and Cai Seventeen can be regarded as a good match. If you talk about the official position of Sister Xiu's grandfather, the Cai family also has a Yunyang Marquis. Our patriarch, Master Fang, doesn't dare to compare himself with Yunyang Hou. ”

Second Grandma Xu choked. After a long while, she said, "But Sister Xiu'er didn't say that she would marry Brother Jian a long time ago......"

Second Lady Xu raised her hand to stop her from continuing, and her voice was lowered: "Silly boy, if our Brother Rong can successfully marry Jinhua from the Qin family's house, Sister Xiu'er will naturally not be able to marry Brother Jian." Wouldn't that be a change of family? The Qin and Xu families were not small families, and it was absolutely impossible for them to do such a thing. ”

Second Grandma Xu reacted, opened her eyes and looked at Second Mrs. Xu, and it took a long time to say a sentence: "Then we are ...... these days." What are they doing?" she thought they were trying to promote the marriage between Qin Jian and Xu Xiu, as well as the marriage between Xu Rong and Qin Jinhua, but she forgot that these two marriages were originally two choices, and it was impossible for them all to be happy. Xu Rong is the flesh and blood of the second room, and from the standpoint of Mrs. Xu and Xu Er's grandmother and daughter-in-law, his marriage must be a priority.

In this way, it is impossible for Xu Xiu and Qin Jian's marriage to succeed. Xu Xiu has no family, so he naturally has to find a suitable marriage outside. Second Mrs. Xu probably thought of this and proposed Cai Seventeen.

Xu Er's grandmother struggled for a long time, and said to her mother-in-law: "It's all daughter-in-law who is confused, and I didn't remember that these two family affairs are conflicting with each other for a while." In this way, if we want Brother Rong to make everything come true, Sister Xiu'er's side still has to do something a little - in fact, there is no need to do anything specially, I think Brother Jian and his mother don't like Sister Xiu very much, and I guess I also complain about our eldest lady. As long as she is there, most of this family business will not be possible. ”

Second Mrs. Xu asked her: "Do you think that if the Cai family proposes to Sister Xiu for Cai Seventeen, will the Changfang side agree?"

Grandma Xu was a little hesitant: "This is really uncertain." Reasoning, with the current prestige of the Marquis of Yunyang, if we can marry his family, our Xu family will be able to live for at least a few years. If it was said that it was the young master of the Yunyang Hou Mansion, even if it was the nephew of the Yunyang Hou, the long room would not hesitate at all, and would gladly agree immediately. But Cai XVII's situation is ...... Not to mention the eldest lady, even the people in our second room also feel that Sister Xiu is a little aggrieved. If Cai Seventeen was a scholar and had been admitted to show talent or make a name for himself, maybe the situation would be different. ”

Second Lady Xu sighed and said, "Who said it wasn't? The ladies and wives of the Cai family, why didn't they mention others, but only mentioned one Cai Seventeen? If I take out Sister Lan to prevaricate, I'm afraid that no one will pay attention to me." It's Sister Xiu'er, I heard Mrs. Yunyang Hou praise her for being dignified and steady, knowledgeable and courteous. At the time, I just thought it was a polite remark, but now that I think about it, I am happy...... That's why the Cai family fell in love with our sister Xiu? Suddenly mentioning Cai Seventeen, he also wanted to hint at us. ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law glanced at each other, and sighed in unison, both regretting that they didn't take Mrs. Caisan's words at the beginning.

But at that time, even if they took over the conversation, they couldn't be the master of Xu Xiu's marriage. Things in the world are always difficult to complete. People are good people, and family affairs are also good family affairs, but it is the long house that has no choice but to make the decision, and the long house is particularly stubborn. Xu Er's grandmother was thinking that if Xu Xiu and Xu Lan were the daughters of the second room, it was estimated that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would have accepted the hints of the Cai family a long time ago, and they would take the initiative to promote family affairs.

Grandma Xu said worriedly: "How can this be good? After two days of coming, we have seen the Cai family with the blessing of Mrs. Tuo's wife, and we can still get along from time to time, talk about children's family affairs, and people have not refused, but the candidates proposed are really embarrassing for us." It's not good for us to go to Mrs. Gu to discuss, after all, it is very rare for her to give us this opportunity, and if we look at Shu again, we will be too greedy. However, it is precisely because Mrs. Gu gave us the opportunity that if we fail to say anything about our family affairs on this trip, I am afraid that there will be no good words on the side of the long house. ”

Second Lady Xu said lightly: "What's so difficult about this? Just tell them about Cai Seventeen." Say yes or no, let them make their own decisions. If they are willing, let their aunt and wife send a message to Mrs. Yunyang Hou, and let the Cai family invite the matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage, so that everyone is happy. Changfang may be able to take advantage of the power of the Yunyang Marquis Mansion to seek some benefits, just like when Mrs. Gu first married into the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion and gave birth to the eldest son, our Xu family did it. But if they are not happy, the responsibility is not on us, it is for them to refuse. ”

It sounds a bit single, but Grandma Xu agrees very much, but she is still a little unwilling: "If the Cai family really takes a fancy to Sister Xiu'er, Brother Zheng has no hope of marrying Miss Cai, right? ”

Second Mrs. Xu disagreed: "What kind of person is Miss Cai? Brother Zheng may not be able to afford such a great blessing." It's nothing if he can't say that he can't do this family business, he can still marry the girl of the Lu family. That's okay, our lord quietly mentioned it to me a few days ago, saying that if Brother Zheng can really marry Miss Cai, the girl of the Lu family will be disappointed. But the Changfang side had already delivered a message to the Lu family, and it was not good to really take the person to live for a year, and then send it back. In order to fulfill his promise, he may arrange for our brother Rong to marry a girl from the Lu family. Although the girl of the Lu family is good, she is not as good as the daughter of Houmen after all. For the sake of our brother Rong, Brother Zheng can't climb the lintel of the Cai family, which may not be a good thing. ”

Second Grandma Xu's eyes widened. She had never heard of such a thing at home before! How could the people of Changfang be so hateful?! The matter was made by Changfang, and the promise was also made by Changfang, and now she wants to change her mind, so let her son go to Xu Zheng's top cylinder? Why?!

Xu Er's grandmother said to her mother-in-law hatefully: "We are planning for the long house, but what we get is such a reward! Mother-in-law, we really can't be stupid this time! What is the future of the children in the long house, what kind of family affairs can they say, and what do they have to do with our second room? We only have one child in the second room, Brother Rong, who has been spoiled since childhood, how can you and I bear to let him be wronged? I see that Brother Zheng has not shown his face much in front of the Cai family in the past few days, but Brother Rong has been attentive enough, and he can also get a few words of praise from the Qin and Cai families. We simply said good things for Brother Rong'er, and we must let the Qin family look at him differently and seriously consider his relationship with Jinhua girl. If he can get the favor of the Cai family, he will be promoted in the future, and his future achievements may not be under Brother Zheng'er!"

Second Mrs. Xu's eyes flashed, and she glanced at her daughter-in-law, showing a solemn expression.

Whether the Xu family's house will agree to marry Xu Xiu to Cai XVII is still unknown. They didn't expect the Xu family to really climb to the Yunyang Marquis Mansion. But Xu Rong and Qin Jinhua's marriage must not go wrong!
