Chapter 213: Explanation
Once Qin Hanzhen became suspicious, in the face of people who couldn't be trusted, she would choose to hide it, and then pretend not to know anything to secretly investigate. But when confronted with people she trusts, she usually chooses a straightforward approach.
She went directly to Cai Yuanzhen and asked the other party privately what happened.
As soon as Cai Yuanzhen heard her question, she showed a look of surprise, but soon laughed: "Third Sister Qin actually noticed it. Isn't it obvious to us sisters?"
Qin Hanzhen shook his head: "It's not obvious, my second sister, fourth sister and Cousin Lu don't seem to notice that there is a problem, and the Xu family sisters shouldn't either, because I think that you and Sister Ji Zhen have behaved a little differently in the past two days, and you seem to be secretly observing something, so I feel that there is something I don't know about here." She looked at Cai Yuanzhen, "Sister Cai, since you would say such a thing, it can be seen that there is indeed an inside story here, isn't it?"
Cai Yuanzhen smiled again, then stretched out her finger with some embarrassment and gently scratched her cheek: "Don't be surprised, it was actually ordered by my mother and aunts." We don't have malicious intentions, we just want to...... Get to know Miss Xu a little better. ”
"Miss Xu?" Qin Han was really surprised. What do the wives and wives of the Cai family want to know about Xu Xiu?
Cai Yuanzhen told her: "In the past few days, my mother and aunts have seen a lot of big girls, and I think she has a gentle and stable temperament, and she is a rare good girl. I have a cousin who is 16 years old and not married. Because of his father's early death and his mother's remarriage, he grew up in our family since he was a child, and he is not my parents and children, and he is no different from my parents. With his family background, it is not easy to say that he is a good family, but if he marries a wife with a slightly inferior family background or lack of talent, my father and mother feel that they will wronged him, so they have not been able to set a family relationship for him. My third aunt met Miss Xu and thought she was a good candidate, and wanted to know more about her temperament and preferences, so she asked me and my sister to help. The third aunt has already spoken to the second lady and the second grandmother of the Xu family, and if you look at what they mean, they should be willing to talk about marriage, but you have to ask the parents of the eldest girl Xu. ”
That's why......
Qin Han really thought about it, this spring outing, a few days before and after, was an activity deliberately arranged by the Changfang, in order to have more contacts with the people of the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, deepen friendship, and clear the way for Qin Jian to marry Cai Yuanzhen in the future. The Xu family is walking, it is said that it is the selfishness of the Xu family, and they want Xu Zheng to also participate in the pursuit of Cai Yuanzhen, whether it succeeds or not, in short, Xu Zheng cannot be allowed to lower the grandniece of Mrs. Xu. The Xu family also had a plan to let Qin Jian marry Xu Xiu as his wife, and kiss each other.
And now, the people in the Yunyang Marquis Mansion have not revealed how their daughter's family affairs will be arranged, but they should have a good impression of Qin Jian, and they also intend to marry Xu Xiu for their nephew. If this family affair is completed, then Qin Jian will be considered to be free, and there will be no second concubine in the Xu family who can be allowed to be his wife. When the time comes, whether he asks to marry Cai Yuanzhen or the daughter of another family, he can choose freely. And the Xu family has such a prominent in-law as the Cai family of the Marquis of Yunyang, it is estimated that they will no longer blindly pestering the Qin family's room and the third room, right?
That's a good thing!
This thought popped up in Qin Hanzhen's mind, and he immediately smiled: "It's good, Cousin Xu is a good girl." You know more about her, I won't tell anyone what I thought. ”
Cai Yuanzhen smiled again: "That's really thank you to Third Sister Qin for raising your noble hand." However, since you and Miss Xu are cousins, you must be familiar with her, right? Seriously, what can we know about getting along in the past two or three days? I had a lot of worries before, and Ji Zhen and I could only secretly observe Miss Xu's temperament and preferences, but it was just an itch in the boots, and it was easy to make mistakes. But now that you are an insider, Third Sister Qin, then wouldn't it be better for me to simply ask you directly? My sister thanked me first. ”
"Hey-" Qin Hanzhen hurriedly grabbed her, didn't let her give a thank you gift, and said distressedly, "I actually don't know much about Cousin Xu, what can I tell you?" What if it delays your business?"
Cai Yuanzhen smiled: "What is this? Naturally, we won't just ask you about it." My cousin's marriage must be done with caution. I ask you for help, just because you girls usually get along, you should know better about your temperament and preferences, and maybe you will know some things that your elders don't know. ”
Qin Han really thought about it and felt that it was better not to wade in the muddy waters. In fact, there is nothing wrong with Xu Xiu herself, she is a very good lady, and it is the Xu family who has the problem. Becoming an in-law with the Xu family is difficult to say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. However, with the ability of the Yunyang Hou Mansion, no matter how much the Xu family wants to toss, there is a limit to what they can do. Yunyang Hou and his wife can completely suppress them, and others really don't need to worry too much.
Thinking of this, Qin Hanzhen insisted on his position: "I really don't know Cousin Xu very well. Sister Cai must also know that she is the niece and granddaughter of Uncle Changfang's grandmother, but I am from the third room. In addition, our three rooms only moved back to the capital from the northwest a few years ago, and in the past few years, we have often gone far away, to the northwest, Jiangnan and Lingnan, and rarely have the opportunity to get along with relatives in the capital. Now the relationship between our family and the Xu family has cooled down again, and the children of the two families have even less contact......"
Cai Yuanzhen suddenly asked: "Since the house and the Xu family are in-laws, why did the relationship become cold?"
Qin Hanzhen paused. She wasn't sure if she should confess. She didn't mind the black Xu family, but the question was, once the two families were involved in the entanglement of Qin Jian's marriage, would it add trouble to his proposal to marry Cai Yuanzhen?
Therefore, she finally only vaguely explained: "It was the elders who had a quarrel with each other, and we as juniors don't have any grudges, but because of the elders, it is not convenient for us to be as close as we were in previous years." ”
Cai Yuanzhen suddenly realized and said with a smile: "I see." She thought for a while, and then asked, "I noticed that Miss Xu is sixteen or seventeen years old, and she hasn't decided on a family affair yet, I don't know if there is any reason?" Is it because the Xu family has a high vision and wants to find a son-in-law who stands out in every way, or is it a ......" She didn't finish speaking, but just smiled at Qin Hanzhen, "Third Sister Qin, don't be surprised, there are some things I can't ask the Xu family directly, so I can only find someone to inquire privately." Now here, there is no more suitable candidate than my sister. I can only ask you for help. ”
Qin Han can really understand, but if she wants her to talk about the dispute between the Qin and Xu families, it will not only hack the Xu family, but also cause trouble to Qin Jian's marriage, I am afraid that even Qin Jinhua will be involved. Qin Hanzhen thought of Yao's guardian madman, and felt that it was better not to talk too much.
She said to Cai Yuanzhen: "I am also a member of the Qin family, and it is really inconvenient to tell Sister Cai about some things." But...... In fact, many things in our family have never been hidden from outsiders, or we originally wanted to hide them, but they were poked out by someone with a heart. If Sister Cai is willing to inquire, just ask those relatives and friends who have a lot of contact with our family, and many people will be able to give you the answer. As for me, I'm as silent as gold. ”
Cai Yuanzhen smiled: "Since Third Sister Qin feels embarrassed, then there is no need to force it." Don't worry, my sister and I won't do it again, and please don't be surprised. When I returned to the capital, I gave my sister a generous gift, which was regarded as thanking my sister for keeping it a secret for me. ”
Qin Hanzhen smiled: "Is this a hush money?"
Cai Yuanzhen laughed and said: "Isn't it just hush money? After accepting my gift, Third Sister Qin can't be angry with me anymore!"
The two talked and laughed, and returned to the main army again. This matter is not mentioned.
Qin Hanzhen kept silent about this matter, but Cai Yuanzhen immediately told her mother and several aunts, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect Third Sister Qin to be so keen." Fortunately, when I told her about Miss Xu, she was relieved and didn't ask anything else, otherwise I would really be ashamed to die!" If the girls knew the truth, how would she get along with them again?
Mrs. Yunyang Hou smiled: "This girl is good, smart, and smart and unassuming. On weekdays, she looks at her quietly, but she doesn't seem to be such an outstanding character, but I didn't expect it to be a real person who doesn't show up. ”
Cai Yuanzhen sighed: "She is actually a kind and kind person, obviously the Xu family's room and the Qin family are extremely stiff, she still refuses to say half a bad word about the Xu family, and also says that Miss Xu is a good girl." In fact, just by looking at their sisters' indifference to the Xu family sisters, they can guess that the relationship between the Qin and Xu families has long been much worse than before, and I am afraid that the contradiction is not small, and it cannot be easily resolved. ”
Mrs. Yunyang Hou said: "Miss Qin San has a good mouth and a gentle temperament, this is her benefit, and we can't force her to gossip about the Qin family and the Qin family's in-laws." However, just because she refuses to tell the truth doesn't mean that others won't. We don't have to drag it back to the city, let's find someone here to inquire about Miss Xu. I see that the Qin and Xu families are at odds, and I may have something to do with her. ”
Mrs. Cai San went out again. This time, she didn't go around the corner, and directly found the second wife of the Xu family and the second grandmother of the Xu family, and asked Xu Xiu why she had never decided on a family affair?
Second Mrs. Xu and Second Grandma Xu were selfish, and when they heard this, they hurriedly denied that Xu Xiu had said that they were married, and then honestly told the Xu family that they intended to marry Xu Xiu to Qin Jian. They don't care much about whether Qin Jian can marry the eldest lady of the Cai family, for Xu Rong's sake, they must want to tie up the people of the Yunyang Hou Mansion.
So Mrs. Cai San knew about the delayed marriage entanglement between the Qin and Xu families, as well as all the conflicts and disputes surrounding the marriage of Qin Jian and Xu Zheng, the two outstanding sons of the family, and she was speechless for a while, and she really didn't know what to say.
Is there something wrong with Mrs. Chengenhou's Xu? What are the Xu family thinking? Is this going to marry or make a feud?!
