Chapter 219: The Gap

Speaking of Guan Yunniang, after the Qin family left Mizhi, her life has been quite tangled for more than a year. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the beginning, Wu Shaoying made it clear that she refused to agree to make a family relationship with her, although she cried a lot, but Uncle Guan also knew that he couldn't indulge his little sister in nonsense, so he and his wife sternly counted her down, and persuaded Mrs. Guan not to indulge her little daughter anymore, and finally suppressed her. At that time, Uncle Guan thought that she had to set up a marriage for Guan Yunniang as soon as possible, otherwise she would still be difficult to give up, and she didn't know what would happen in the future.

The Guan family was in the period of filial piety at the time, and it was not good to say goodbye to the little sister before the expiration of the three years of filial piety, but they were small families and were not as particular as the big families. Although it is inconvenient to discuss relatives during the filial piety period, you can ask relatives and friends to help find a suitable family first, and the middleman will come forward to say yes, and everyone has a tacit understanding. As soon as Guan Yunniang is filial, the other party can send a matchmaker to hire her, and strive to let her marry within a year. This saves you money and doesn't have to worry about violating the rudeness. Guan Yunniang is not young anymore, she is a nineteen-year-old girl after three years of filial piety, and it is only right to marry early.

At that time, Uncle Guan took a lot of effort to ask an elder of his wife's mother's family to help him find a suitable family. The other party's family background is quite solid, and he also has a house and a land, and there is only one only son in the family, but he is a little older, in his early twenties, he has been studying since he was a child, and he has been taking the children's examination since he was twelve or thirteen years old. Originally, he became a child at a young age, and he was once regarded as a first-class prodigy, so his family wanted to wait until he was admitted to Xiucai, and then marry a rich man's family. In this way, in the future, if he wants to take the examination again, he will have financial support. Otherwise, relying only on his family's little family background, he may not be able to really provide an official.

It's a pity that although he successfully passed the county examination and the government examination, he has been stumbling in the hospital examination for several years, and there is no sign of passing the examination. The reputation of a prodigy has now become obscure. The daughters of several wealthy families that his family was originally eyeing have all married off in the past few years. If you want to marry a rich girl or even an official girl after gaining fame, the calculation can't work, but this boy has reached the age where the marriage can no longer be delayed, and it will be too late if he doesn't marry, so he can only give up the original wishful thinking and marry a wife who is currently equivalent to him.

This child is a very suitable partner for the Guan family. First, the other party's family is not in Mizhi, dozens of miles away, and I don't know about Guan Yunniang's bad rumors, I only know that she is Xiucai's daughter, and there is a sister who married into an official's family. Second, the two families are right in the family, and no one has wronged anyone. However, the Guan family also mentioned that they were in-laws with the Qin family, and Qin Bai taught several local talents, lifters, and Jinshi. Although Guan Yunniang's family background is ordinary, she can recommend her fiancé to study under Qin Baimen, which is enough to add bargaining chips to this marriage.

At that time, the Guan family didn't know that Qin Bai's family would not come back in the future, but when they went to the capital to visit relatives, they would come back in a year and a half at most, and continue to teach and live as in the past. And when the child's family heard about Qin Bai's reputation, they were also moved. Since then, the two families have had a tacit understanding, and agreed to wait for the Guan family to be filial piety, and then they will send the media to propose marriage. However, until then, neither side can disclose this agreement.

The Guan family is afraid that their filial piety will make people gossip. That family is still unwilling to give up, and wants to ask their son to take another test or two, if he still can't get into Xiucai, he can only honestly become the daughter of a small family. But if you can get lucky enough to get a reputation for your talents, this marriage contract that is only verbal and cannot be announced to the outside world will naturally be over.

Both families had wishful thinking, but they couldn't bear Guan Yunniang and refused to cooperate. Since she had already taken a fancy to Wu Shaoying, how could she be willing to give birth to a child from a mediocre family? Taking advantage of the fact that the marriage had not yet been made public, she resorted to trickery and deliberately made a fuss in front of others, thus ruining the marriage. The family almost didn't turn their faces, and even the maternal elders of the aunt Guan who talked about it were almost taken aback, and said in disgrace that they would never help the Guan family in the future. Aunt Guan said so badly that she gave a generous gift to make amends for her sins, so she erased the incident. But when she and Uncle Guan looked back and saw Guan Yunniang again, they were angry. Such a good marriage is gone for Guan Yunniang, and even the matchmaker refuses to come to the door again, who can she marry in the future? !

Later, the Qin family sent back news from the capital, saying that Qin Bai had sealed the Hou, Qin Ping also became an official, and the family lived in the Hou Mansion in the capital, and Mizhi County was a sensation. At this time, everyone knew that Mr. Qin, whom they had always respected, turned out to be an uncle of the country, the brother of the empress mother! No one knew why the uncle of the country had been incognito with them for decades, but the status of the Qin family in this county was completely different. There is no need for the Qin family to bother, the people of the county government can take care of the local industry for them, and even the tenant farmers of the Qin family are more decent than ordinary farmers, let alone the real in-laws of the Guan family.

The status of the Guan family in the county has also improved, and the old lady Guan was still worried about her daughter's lifelong affairs, but seeing that some families in the county began to ask the relatives of the Guan family whether Guan Yunniang had already decided to marry, and there were many rich families, she listened to a few words of flattery from relatives and friends, and felt that her daughter's opportunity had come! Although the eldest daughter died, she was a real young grandmother of the Hou Mansion, and her own sister-in-law, her identity was naturally different from that of ordinary county daughters, and she was also a daughter. Of course, Miss Qianjin can't pick someone at will, she must find a wealthy house to marry, and her son-in-law must also be a young talent who is well-read, talented and good-looking, otherwise how can she be a relative of the Hou Mansion?

At this time, several wealthy families who came to the door to probe the wind, Mrs. Guan disliked that they were either rich people or wealthy businessmen, and they did not have any children who were studying, so they were not worthy of scholars like the Guan family. The first thing she set her eyes on was the children of the local wang family. Wang Fulin is a student of Qin Bai, and he can be regarded as a frequent meeting with the Guan family, he is just the right age, and he has an elder brother who is an official in the capital, so he is a good object of first class. Of course, the Wang family's family is too high, and Mrs. Guan also knows that her own family may not be able to do it, even if she can borrow the Qin family's potential, but the Wang family brothers are all Qin Bai's protégés, and this potential may not be able to be borrowed.

At the same time, Mrs. Guan also set her eyes on Yu Chengzhi, another student of Qin Bai. Yu's family is not in Mizhi, but from Suidezhou, but his family is also well-off. Yu Chengzhi had already been admitted to Xiucai that day, and was planning to enter Xi'an Fuxue, just like Wu Shaoying did at the beginning. If her youngest daughter can marry her, her future will not be bad.

However, both Wang Fulin and Yu Chengzhi have helped Qin Bai take care of Qin Ping and Guan Rongniang's "aftermath", and they know some about Guan Rongniang's death. Of course, there is the responsibility of the He clan here, but the second daughter of the Guan family has also harmed her own sister. Although the two are young, they also know the truth of marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person. As soon as Mrs. Guan asked someone to probe the news, they had already clearly refused.

Old Lady Guan had no choice but to hit Hu Kun, another of Qin Bai's students. Hu Kun's family is poor, but he has also been admitted to Xiucai, and as long as he has fame in the future, he is not afraid of a bad life. Guan Yunniang got married, so she has the hope of becoming an official wife.

As a result, Hu Kun also refused. The reason is the same as Wang Fulin and Yu Chengzhi.

The Guan family was still in the filial piety period at this time, and it was said that the kiss was carried out in secret. However, Mrs. Guan tried several families one after another, but she did not get good results, so where can the news be blocked? The Guan family has Hou Ye as her in-laws, and she can't even tell her daughter that she is a poor show to be a son-in-law, which shows how empty the relationship between his family is. Hou Ye's students are naturally people who know the inside story, and they will not resolutely refuse the girls of the teacher's in-laws for no reason.

The people in the county combined with the previous rumors that Guan Yunniang was blindly spreading rumors outside and ruining the reputation of the eldest sister, as well as the fact that after the Qin family went to Beijing, they broke off contact with the Guan family, and the news that there was not even a letter spread, and the status of the Guan family in the county began to decline. The rich families who were in a hurry to make friends with his family gradually became cold, and only maintained the courtesy on the face, but there was no longer the enthusiasm that had before.

There are still many people in the county who are talking in private, feeling that the Guan family is confused, and the younger daughter has harmed the eldest daughter and lost the life of the eldest daughter. As the husband of the eldest daughter, the Qin family is not sure how to be angry with the Guan family. Even if there is a granddaughter Qin Hanzhen here, the two families will not be completely broken, but since the Qin family has settled in the capital, I am afraid that it will be difficult to come back one day in the future. The two parents' homes are thousands of miles apart, and there is little correspondence, so I am afraid that in the future, I will gradually not move around. said that they are in-laws, and they are no different from distant relatives. When Qin Ping marries the daughter of a famous family again, a small family like the Guan family will become more and more out of the eyes of the Qin family.

The Guan family originally only opened a school, and because Guan Laoxiu died, Uncle Guan took over the school, but his knowledge was not as solid as his father, and he could only teach a few Mengtong, and his reputation was not as good as before. Without the support of the Qin family's in-laws, what is the Guan family in Mizhi County? The whole county has seen the true situation of the Guan family, and no one is blindly stammering with each other anymore.

Mrs. Guan was deeply stimulated by this disparity in treatment. She actually knew that it would be difficult for the Qin family to return to Mizhi one day, but she couldn't break this in-law no matter what. If it is broken, won't her eldest daughter bury her life in vain? Her husband Guan Lao Xiucai will be even more blind to death. When the Qin family sent someone back to move the coffin, she would be so excited, in fact, there was also this reason.

As for Guan Yunniang, at this point, it is even more difficult for her to find a satisfactory marriage in Mizhi. There may be good people in the surrounding states and counties, but she can't look down on them. Since she has already become the sister-in-law of the eldest young master of the Hou Mansion, why should she marry into a small family? She can marry even better! Even Wu Shaoying, a prisoner, ...... It's not the best choice.

Of course, this was before she knew that Wu Shaoying had become an official. After knowing, Wu Shaoying once again became her first choice.

Uncle Hu is powerless to spit out his thoughts about Mrs. Guan and Guan Yunniang. The Guan family wanted to go to Beijing and attach themselves to the Qin family, which was not a big deal, but he always felt angry and unwilling in his heart. At the beginning, Guan Rongniang's death was responsible, but now they are all like no one, and they want to be entangled with a dead face, and they use Qin Hanzhen as an excuse. In fact, after their family entered Beijing, they didn't have to rely on the Yongjiahou Mansion to find a house and find an errand envoy? Otherwise, they would have relied on the Guan family's family background to do anything in the capital? I'm afraid it would be difficult to even settle down!

After hearing this, Qin Bai and Niu also felt speechless. Niu's first day said: "I see, no wonder the wife of the in-laws has become so ...... now Shameless, it turned out that he was reluctant to let the wealth of our Hou Mansion want to climb up no matter what. ”

Qin Hanzhen was sullen in his heart, not knowing what to say. She could only ask Uncle Hu, "Does that cousin know about these things?"
