Facing Qin Zhonghai's question, Qin Jian said solemnly: "That's what they said, but I only cared about my grandmother at the time, and I didn't have the heart to ask clearly. ”

Qin Hanzhen knows better: "I asked a few big girls in the aunt's house, the two members of the Xu family came, in addition to wanting the aunt to help the Xu family clarify, it seems that they want to get something back, saying that the aunt and grandmother deceived the girl Xu before." ”

Yao whispered: "It's two pieces of clothing, Xu Xiu made it for her brother." Mrs. said that she had shown Xu Xiu a good eye on a family, and wanted to take her needle and thread to show her housewife. In fact, these two clothes were later sent to Chu Liang. At the beginning, Mrs. originally wanted to give it to Chu Ming, but Chu Ming was not in Beijing, so she had to cheapen Chu Liang. It is estimated that Mrs. still wants to tell the eldest sister that Xu Xiu will be a good sister-in-law who takes care of her brother-in-law, right? But now that Mrs. has the idea of matching Xu Xiu and Chu Liang, this dress is just right. ”

Qin Zhonghai didn't know how to react: "How do you know?"

Yao's eyes flashed slightly, and he covered his mouth with the fan in his hand.

If she really wanted to know what was going on in Xu's house, it wasn't really difficult. The magpie is her person, and now the magpie's sister Gordon is helping her with things. Although Xu also seems to be aware of it, and sometimes sends the sisters to do other things, it is difficult for the girls to have real secrets between them. Xu may not know that Magpie and Goldfinch don't have to be in front of people to know what happened to her.

Although the Xu family is the head of the Chengenhou Mansion, but now that the power has been transferred to the Yao family, the Xu family has had a disagreement with his son and grandson one after another, and his prestige has dropped greatly, and the girls will also have their own ideas. They always have to think about their families and their future. Qin Han is really from Xifu, and he can also ask the news from the mouths of those big girls, isn't it the same way?

Qin Zhonghai probably knew this, but he glared at his wife angrily, and didn't ask any further.

Niu's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "What kind of madness is this sister-in-law? What is she trying to do by doing this? If outsiders know, Chu Liang and Miss Xu don't have to be human beings, okay?!"

Cai Shengnan thought for a while: "Although Chu Liang is alone in Beijing, his sister will meet him from time to time, and she will not let him wear clothes of unknown origin. If it is rewarded by the eldest uncle, everyone's needlework is the same, just as it is made by a girl, that is. If an outsider asks, just say so, and let the girl with good needlework in Songfeng Hall come forward to admit it. There is no embroidery of Miss Xu's name on this dress, so who cares about it?"

Yao squeezed his eyes at her: "If the Xu family is shameless, they have to care, and the lady has to be the master, can the Lu family really get rid of it?"

Qin Zhonghai coughed heavily, glared at his wife again, and looked at Qin Shutao: "I have to talk to my eldest sister about this." Don't return those two clothes, let the eldest sister burn them at home by herself. ”

Yao said with a smile: "If the eldest sister has a heart, she can also ask the needle and thread person to make two clothes of the same style, and only leave a mark on the details." If the Xu family really came to the door by slapping themselves in the face and threw these two clothes to show them, it must have been a wonderful scene!" After finishing speaking, she was glared at by her husband again, and she smiled and shut up.

Qin Shutao didn't pay attention to the eyebrow lawsuit between his brother and sister-in-law, and when he nodded, he still maintained a shocked expression on his face: "Mother is really crazy, isn't she?

Qin Zhonghai was noncommittal: "This is just the words of the eldest cousin." Mother is so angry, who knows if this is true or false?"

Qin Shutao thought about it, and his face looked better. It is indeed difficult for outsiders to figure out the merits of such private matters. Besides, it makes no sense to make it clear, Zuo is just a dispute between the Xu family and his mother's family. It's not news these days.

Min said with a straight face: "Madame knew about the rumors outside, and although she was angry, she didn't stop the Xu family's room to clarify. How can this be good? Madame's reputation is getting worse and worse!"

Yao sneered: "Then it also requires others to be willing to believe in the Xu family." Could it be that the reputation of the Xu family's room is very good now? Madame is notoriously confused anyway, and outsiders think it is a joke when they mention it, and if they laugh at it again, there is nothing new, but it just proves more and more the fact that she is partial to her mother's family. It's the Xu family's room, what do you think you can clarify? The world has long seen his family's cheekiness, right?!"

Qin Zhonghai frowned and glanced at her. Yao didn't notice it, and only cared about what he said happily, Cai Shengnan gently pulled her sleeve and changed the topic: "Auntie and grandmother, it's better to say it as soon as possible." Since the Xu family's room has alarmed the Sun family, the Lu family should also say something, at least to explain the truth clearly. ”

Qin Zhonghai nodded, and Qin Shutao said to his wife: "You can go to the Lu family in a while, and don't always let the eldest sister come over." Every time I come over, my mother has to make people cry, why bother?"

Min responded. The relationship between Yao's and Qin Youzhen is more complicated, and when she encounters Xu's affairs, she is yin and yang, so it's better not to work for her.

It's just that after Qin Youzhen learned the news that Xu vomited blood and fell ill again, she personally took her two sons to visit the Chengenhou Mansion. This time, because Xu's mental condition was really poor, he fell asleep weakly in the middle of his words, and finally spared Qin Youzhen lightly, so that she only shed tears for a while, and then left Songfeng Hall.

However, because this time Xu's illness was caused by the Xu family's room, Qin Youzhen's burden on her heart was reduced a lot, and when she learned that the Xu family's room also went to the Sun family to clarify, the resentment in her heart deepened: "Uncle Niang is thinking about them, and they do this, regardless of Uncle Niang's reputation, it's too much! This time, she couldn't take care of Xu's mood, so she just calmly told people that Xu's family room was not. Because she is not hurting Xu's mother's family, but holding grievances for Xu's!

The Sun family naturally wouldn't believe whatever the Xu family said. His family just calmly received the lobbyists who came to the door, and after a long time of polite talk, they talked and laughed casually, and sent the guests away. It wasn't until Lu Chuming came to the door to explain the reason that Sun Xijiu pulled his prospective son-in-law and said, "It's better for your family to be more distant from the Xu family's room." In the past, I saw that Xu Zheng had some talent, but his family style was not clear, but I was afraid that he would be dragged down, so I hope he can stick to his heart. Then he chatted with Lu Chuming about the article, and he didn't take the so-called clarification of Xu's family room to heart at all.

Xu Jiafang probably didn't expect this to be the result. His family took a lot of effort to ask someone to deliver the message, "clarify" the so-called truth to neighbors, relatives and friends, and old friends who they thought were beneficial to their future, and shifted the responsibility to the Xu family, so as to show the innocence of the Xu family. But what happened to the Xu family before really damaged the image of his family. Even if these people listened to the confession of the Xu family, not many people believed that his family was really completely innocent. Even if the Xu family is partial to his mother's family, he is eccentric to the point of absurdity. The Xu family, who has always accepted the help of the Xu family, can it still be an innocent and upright family?

Therefore, those who were unwilling to take care of Xu's family's room still continued to ignore it, and they still inquired about his family's gossip with great interest when they decided that there was gossip in Xu's family's room. The Xu family's house did not get the desired result, but because of the intentional blockade of the Chengenhou Mansion, their connection with the Xu family was completely severed.

The second room of the Xu family continued to interact with the Chengenhou Mansion as usual, and occasionally went to the Yongjiahou Mansion to show his face. Xu Er's grandmother was very active in inviting Qin Jinrong to stay at home for two days, saying that the newly hired cook made good pastries, and Qin Jinrong must love to eat them. Qin Jinrong was also a little moved.

But Min said: "Madame is sick, Rong'er is a granddaughter, how can she go to someone else's house to play at this time?"

Grandma Xu said with a dry smile: "Why is my aunt and grandmother sick, and my in-laws also understand it. If Sister Rong is allowed to stay in our house for two days, let people know that the Qin and Xu families are still harmonious, and my aunt and grandmother will hear about it, but I am afraid that I will be happier in my heart, and the disease will get better quickly. ”

Min pulled the corners of his mouth: "You often come to see Madame, say something that makes her happy, don't say anything you don't like, I'm afraid that it will be better for her." Sister Rong doesn't have to go over to live, the eldest girl who is married goes to live at her fiancé's house, and it is easy to gossip. ”

Second Grandma Xu didn't dare to be reluctant, and said with a smile: "My in-laws are right, I was negligent." Then he said to Qin Jinrong, "When I go back, I will send you the dim sum that I asked the cook to make, so that you can try it." Qin Jinrong became happy at this time: "Let's give my grandmother a taste too." Doesn't she just like the Xu family?"

Grandma Xu laughed dryly, thinking that what her aunt and grandmother liked, I'm afraid there are only Xu Zheng and Xu Xiu's brothers and sisters, right?

Xu Er's grandmother brought her son Xu Rong over, and after a while, Qin Jinrong took Xu Rong to play in the garden. Second Grandma Xu stayed in Tingyuxuan and sat closer to the Min family: "Over there in the long room...... It was a bit excessive, as if she would rather offend my aunt and grandmother, and my mother-in-law felt that it was unreasonable, so she asked me to inquire about it......"

Min looked at her with a frown.

Grandma Xu Er smiled and said: "Although the eldest sister-in-law has a grudge against her aunt and grandmother because of the separation of the family, the eldest uncle is not confused, and the eldest master is here, so why shouldn't the eldest uncle and his wife be angry with the aunt and grandmother like this, let alone ruin the reputation of the aunt." No matter how promising Xu Zheng is, now he is just a lifter, is it possible that if he becomes a sister-in-law, he is not afraid that his aunt and grandmother will not help Brother Zheng in the future? Later, when I was in contact with my neighbors, I happened to hear some news, and then I learned the reason. ”

She lowered her voice: "Behind our house is the house of the Gongbu Langzhong Qi's family. His wife's nephew came to Beijing a few days ago to study, and lived in his house, and I heard that it seemed to be a young master of the governor's palace, and as for where the governor was, I didn't inquire clearly. But the young master was quite young, that is, in his early twenties, and he saw Sister Xiu'er in the garden of the Qi family through the courtyard wall, so he inquired about the people of the Qi family. A few days ago, I asked Sister Xiu'er to go to the garden to pick flowers every day, and when she heard the rumors outside, she panicked, and would rather hurt her aunt and grandmother than protect Sister Xiu'er's reputation -- Amitabha! The eldest sister-in-law really dared to think about it! The son of the Governor's Palace, why should he marry Sister Xiu'er?!"

Min frowned and asked, "Did the family reveal that they wanted to get married?"
